Jan 1
1 Nan kòmansman, te gen Pawòl la, e Pawòl la te avèk Bondye, e Pawòl la te Bondye.
Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God.
2 Li te nan kòmansman avèk Bondye.
The same, was originally, with God.
3 Tout bagay ki te fèt te fèt pa Li, epi san Li, anyen ki te fèt pa t vin fèt.
All things, through him, came into existence, and, without him, came into existence, not even one thing: that which hath come into existence,
4 Nan Li se te lavi, epi lavi se te limyè a lòm.
in him, was, life, and, the life, was, the light of men.—
5 Limyè fè klè nan tenèb la, epi tenèb la pa t ka venk li.
And, the light, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold.
6 Te vin parèt yon nonm ke Bondye te voye ke yo te rele Jean.
There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John:
7 Li te vini kon yon temwen, pou li ta kapab fè temwen a limyè a, pou tout moun ta kapab kwè akoz li menm.
The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him.
8 Se pa li ki te Limyè a, men li te vini pou li ta kapab fè temwen a Limyè a.
He, was not the light, —but, that he might bear witness concerning the light,
9 Te gen vrè Limyè a ke, lè l vini nan mond lan, klere tout moun.
It, was—The real light that enlighteneth every man—Coming into the world.
10 Li te nan lemond, e lemond te fèt pa Li, men lemond pa t rekonèt Li.
In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not.
11 Li te vini a moun pa Li yo, e moun pa L yo pa t resevwa Li.
Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.
12 Men a tout sa yo ki te resevwa L, Li te bay yo pouvwa pou devni pitit a Bondye, menm a sa yo ki kwè nan non Li,
But, as many as did receive him, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become, —unto them who were believing on his name:
13 ki pa t fèt ni pa san, ni pa volonte lachè a, ni pa volonte a lòm, men pa Bondye.
Who—not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but—of God, were born.
14 E pawòl la te vin lachè, e te viv pami nou. Nou te wè glwa Li, kon glwa a sèl Fis inik a Papa a, ranpli avèk gras ak verite.
And, the Word, became, flesh, and pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory, —a glory, as an Only-begotten from his Father. Full of favour and truth.
15 Jean te fè temwen a Li. Li te rele fò e te di: “Sa se Li menm de moun mwen te pale nou lè m te di: ‘Sila ki vini aprè mwen an pi wo pase m, paske li te egziste avan m.’”
(John beareth witness concerning him, and hath cried aloud, saying—the same, was he that said—He who, after me, was coming, before me, hath advanced; because, my Chief, was he.)
16 Paske nan plenitid Li, nou tout te resevwa gras sou gras.
Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour.
17 Paske Lalwa te bay pa Moïse, men nou te resevwa gras ak verite pa Jésus Kris.
Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence.
18 Pèsòn pa janm wè Bondye. Men Fis inik la, ki nan sen Papa L, te fè nou konnen L.
No one, hath seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [him].
19 E sa se temwayaj a Jean, lè Jwif yo te voye prèt yo avèk Levit yo pou mande l “Ki moun ou ye?”
And, this, is the witness of John, when the Jews sent forth unto him, out of Jerusalem, priests and Levites, —that they might question him—Who art, thou?
20 Li te konfese, li pa t nye, men li te konfese: “Mwen menm se pa Kris la.”
and he confessed, and did not deny, —and he confessed—I, am not, the Christ;
21 Konsa yo mande li: “E byen, kisa?” Èske ou menm se Elie? Li te di: “Non mwen pa Li.” “Èske ou menm se Pwofèt la?” Li te reponn: “Non.”
and they questioned him—What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith—I am not; The prophet, art, thou? and he answered—No!
22 Konsa yo di l: “Kilès ou ye, pou nou kapab bay yon repons a sa ki te voye nou yo? Kisa ou di selon ou menm?”
So they said unto him—Who, art thou? that, an answer, we may give, unto them who sent us, —What sayest thou, concerning thyself?
23 Li te di: “Mwen menm se yon vwa k ap kriye nan savann nan, ‘Fè chemen Bondye a dwat’, kon pwofèt la, Ésaïe te di.”
He said—I, am a Voice, of one crying aloud; —In the desert, make ye straight, the way of the Lord: according as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 Alò, se te Farizyen yo ki te voye yo.
And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees;
25 E yo te mande l, e te di l: “Ebyen poukisa w ap batize si se pa Kris la, ni Elie, ni Pwofèt la ou ye?”
and they questioned him, and said unto him—Why, then, dost thou immerse, —if, thou, art not, the Christ, nor Elijah, nor, the Prophet?
26 Jean te reponn yo konsa: “Mwen batize nou avèk dlo, men pami nou, kanpe youn ke nou pa konnen.
John answered them, saying—I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; —
27 Se Li menm k ap vin apre mwen, ki prefere avan m, e menm lasèt a sandal Li, mwen pa dign pou m ta demare.”
after me, coming: —Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.
28 Bagay sa yo te fèt nan Béthanie, lòtbò Jourdain an, kote Jean t ap batize a.
These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
29 Nan jou aprè li te wè Jésus ki t ap vin kote l e te di: “Men gade Jenn Mouton Bondye a k ap retire peche mond lan.
On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith—See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.
30 Se te anfavè Li ke mwen te pale a lè mwen te di: ‘Sila ki vini aprè mwen an pi wo pase m, paske li te egziste avan m.’
This, is he, of whom, I, said—After me, cometh a man, who, before me, hath advanced, because, my Chief, was he.
31 Epi mwen pa t rekonèt Li, men se pou Li ta kapab fè parèt a Israël, ke m te vini pou batize moun avèk dlo.”
And, I, knew him not, but, that he might be manifested unto Israel, therefore, came, I, in water, immersing.
32 Jean te fè temwayaj epi te di: “Mwen wè Lespri a vin desann kon yon toutrèl ki soti nan syèl la epi Li te rete sou Li.
And John bare witness, saying—I have gazed upon the Spirit, descending like a dove, out of heaven, —and it abode upon him.
33 Mwen pa t rekonèt Li, men sila a ki te voye m pou batize avèk dlo te di mwen, ‘Li menm sou kilès ou wè Lespri a desann epi rete sou Li a, se Li menm k ap batize avèk Lespri Sen an.’
And, I, knew him not, —but, he that sent me to immerse in water, he, unto me, said—Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding upon him, the same, is he that immerseth in Holy Spirit.
34 Mwen wè, epi mwen fè temwayaj ke sila a se Fis Bondye a.”
I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness—That, this, is, the, Son of God.
35 Ankò jou aprè Jean te kanpe avèk de nan disip li yo,
On the morrow, again, was John standing, and, from among his disciples, two;
36 epi li te gade Jésus pandan Li t ap mache. Li te di: “Men gade Jenn Mouton Bondye a!”
and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith—See! the Lamb of God!
37 De disip yo te tande l pale, epi yo te swiv Jésus.
and the two disciples hearkened unto him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
38 Konsa, Jésus te vire pou wè yo t ap swiv Li, e te di yo: “Kisa n ap chache”? Yo te di Li: “Rabbi, ki tradwi vle di ‘Mèt’, se kibò w ap rete?”
But Jesus, turning, and looking at them following, saith unto them—What seek ye? And, they, said unto him—Rabbi! which meaneth, when translated, Teacher, Where abidest thou?
39 Li te di yo: “Vini, nou va wè.” Pou sa yo te vini epi te wè kote Li t ap rete. Yo te rete avèk Li jou sa, paske li te vè dizyèm lè.
He saith unto them—Be coming, and ye shall see. They came, therefore, and saw where he abode, and, with him, they abode that day. It was about the tenth, hour.
40 Youn nan de sa yo ki te tande Jean pale epi te swiv Li yo se te Andre, frè a Simon Pierre.
One of the two that heard from John and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 Li te twouve premyèman frè li, Simon, e te di Li: “Nou te twouve Mesi a, ki tradwi se Kris la.”
The same findeth, first, his own brother Simon, and saith unto him—We have found the Messiah! which is, when translated, Anointed.
42 Li te mennen li kote Jésus. Jésus te gade li e te di: “Ou se Simon, fis a Jean. Ou va rele Céphas,” ki tradwi vle di Pierre.
He led him unto Jesus. Jesus, looking at him, said—Thou, art Simon, the son of John, —thou, shalt be called, Cephas; which is to be translated, Peter.
43 Jou apre Li te vle antre nan Galilée, e Li te twouve Philippe. Jésus te di li: “Swiv mwen.”
On the morrow, he desired to go forth into Galilee. And Jesus findeth Philip, and saith unto him—Be following me!
44 Philippe te sòti nan Bethsaïda, vil André avèk Pierre a.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philippe te twouve Nathanaël, e te di l: “Nou te twouve sila a ke Moïse nan Lalwa avèk pwofèt yo te ekri a, Jésus de Nazareth, fis a Joseph la.”
Philip, findeth, Nathanael, and saith unto him—Him, of whom wrote Moses in the law, and the Prophets, have we found.—Jesus, son of Joseph, him from Nazareth!
46 Nathanaël te di l “Èske yon bon bagay kapab sòti nan Nazareth?” Philippe te reponn: “Vini pou wè.”
And Nathanael said unto him—Out of Nazareth, can any good thing come? Philip saith unto him—Come, and see!
47 Jésus te wè Nathanaël t ap vin kote Li epi te di: “Men gade, yon Izrayelit nan kilès pa gen desepsyon.”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and saith concerning him—See! Truly, an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
48 Nathanaël te di L “Kijan ou fè rekonèt mwen?” Jésus te reponn li: “Avan Philippe te rele ou, pandan ou te anba pye figye a, Mwen te wè ou.”
Nathanael saith unto him—Whence, dost thou, know, me? Jesus answered, and said unto him—Before Philip called thee, —when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 Natanaël te reponn Li: “Rabbi, ki vle di ‘Mèt’, Ou menm se Fis Bondye a. Ou se Wa Israël la.”
Nathanael answered him—Rabbi! thou, art, the Son of God: Thou, art, King, of Israel.
50 Jésus te reponn Li e te di: “Akoz Mwen te wè ou anba pye figye a, ou kwè? W ap wè pi gwo bagay pase sa yo.”
Jesus answered, and said unto him—Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? A greater thing than these, shalt thou see!
51 E Li te di li: “Anverite, anverite mwen di ou, w ap wè syèl yo louvri, epi zanj Bondye yo k ap monte desann sou Fis a Lòm nan.”
And he saith unto him—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye shall see heaven—when set open, and, the messengers of God, ascending and descending unto the Son of Man.
