Jaona 1
1 Tamin’ ny voalohany ny Teny, ary ny Teny tao amin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Teny dia Andriamanitra.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Izy dia tao amin’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny voalohany.
He was in the beginning with God.
3 Izy no nahariana ny zavatra rehetra; ary raha tsy Izy dia tsy nisy nahariana izao zavatra ary izao, na dia iray aza.
All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
4 Izy no nisiam-piainana; ary ny fiainana no fanazavana ny olona.
In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
5 Ary ny mazava dia mamirapiratra ao amin’ ny maizina; fa ny maizina tsy nandray azy.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
6 Nisy lehilahy nirahin’ Andriamanitra, Jaona no anarany.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Izy tonga ho vavolombelona hanambara ny Mazava, mba hinoan’ ny olona rehetra noho ny teniny.
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Tsy izy anefa no Ilay Mazava, fa tonga ho vavolombelona hanambara ny Mazava ihany izy.
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 Tao ny tena Mazava Izay mahazava ny olona rehetra tonga amin’ izao tontolo izao.
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 Teo amin’ izao tontolo izao Izy, ary Izy no nanaovana izao tontolo izao, nefa izao tontolo izao tsy nahalala Azy.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
11 Tonga tany amin’ ny Azy Izy, fa ny Azy tsy nandray Azy.
He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
12 Fa izay rehetra nandray Azy dia nomeny hery ho tonga zanak’ Andriamanitra, dia izay mino ny anarany,
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,
13 dia ireo izay tsy nateraky ny rà, na ny sitrapon’ ny nofo, na ny sitrapon’ ny olona, fa naterak’ Andriamanitra.
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Ary ny Teny dia tonga nofo ka nonina tamintsika; ary hitanay ny voninahiny, dia voninahitra miendrika ho an’ ny Lahitokana avy tamin’ ny Ray, sady feno fahasoavana sy fahamarinana.
And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Jaona nanambara Azy ka niantso hoe: Izy Ilay nolazaiko hoe: Izay avy
John testified about him and shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
16 Fa tamin’ ny fahafenoany no nandraisantsika rehetra, dia fahasoavana anampy fahasoavana.
For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
17 Fa ny lalàna dia nomena tamin’ ny alalan’ i Mosesy; fa ny fahasoavana sy ny fahamarinana kosa dia tonga tamin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy.
For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Tsy nisy nahita an’ Andriamanitra na oviana na oviana; fa ny Zanakalahy Tokana, Izay ao an-tratran’ ny Ray, Izy no nanambara Azy.
No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
19 Ary izao no nambaran’ i Jaona, raha ny Jiosy naniraka mpisorona sy Levita avy tany Jerosalema hankany aminy mba hanontany azy hoe: Iza moa ianao?
And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
20 Ary nilaza marina izy ka tsy nandà, fa hoy ny filàzany: Tsy izaho no Kristy.
And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Christ."
21 Ary izy ireo nanontany azy hoe: Ahoana ary? Elia va ianao? Fa hoy izy: Tsy izy aho. Ilay Mpaminany va ianao? Fa izy namaly hoe: Tsia.
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
22 Dia hoy ireo taminy: Iza ary ianao? mba hitondranay valiny ho any amin’ izay naniraka anay. Lazainao ho iza moa ny tenanao?
They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
23 Dia hoy izy: Izaho dia feon’ ny miantso mafy any an-efitra hoe: Ataovy mahitsy ny lalan’ i Jehovah, araka izay nolazain’ Isaia mpaminany.
He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
24 Ary iraka avy tamin’ ny Fariseo ireo.
(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
25 Dia nanontany azy ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ary ianao no manao batisa raha tsy ianao no Kristy, na Elia, na Ilay Mpaminany?
And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
26 Jaona namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Izaho manao batisa amin’ ny rano; fa eto aminareo misy Anankiray Izay tsy fantatrareo,
John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
27 dia Ilay avy ao aoriako, ary tsy miendrika hamaha ny fehin-kapany aza aho.
He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
28 Izany zavatra izany dia natao tany Betania any an-dafin’ i Jordana, izay nanaovan’ i Jaona batisa.
These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Nony ampitso dia nahita an’ i Jesosy avy manatona azy Jaona, ka dia hoy izy: Indro ny Zanak’ ondrin’ Andriamanitra, Izay manaisotra ny fahotan’ izao tontolo izao!
The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
30 Izy Ilay nolazaiko hoe: Misy Lehilahy avy ao aoriako Izay efa tonga eo alohako, satria talohako Izy.
This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
31 Ary izaho tsy nahalala Azy; fa mba haseho amin’ ny Isiraely Izy, izany no nihaviako manao batisa amin’ ny rano.
I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
32 Ary Jaona nanambara ka nanao hoe: Izaho nahita ny Fanahy midìna avy any an-danitra tahaka ny voro-mailala ka nitoetra teo amboniny.
And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 Ary izaho tsy nahalala Azy; fa Izay naniraka ahy hanao batisa amin’ ny rano no nilaza tamiko hoe: Izay ho hitanao idinan’ ny Fanahy sy itoerany, dia Izy no Mpanao batisa amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna.
And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
34 Ary nahita aho, ka dia nanambara fa Izy no Zanak’ Andriamanitra.
And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
35 Nony ampitson’ iny indray dia nijanona Jaona sy ny mpianany roa lahy;
Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 ary nijery an’ i Jesosy nitsangantsangana izy ka nanao hoe: Indro ny Zanak’ ondrin’ Andriamanitra!
and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
37 Ary ireo mpianatra roa lahy ireo, rehefa nandre azy niteny, dia nanaraka an’ i Jesosy.
And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
38 Ary Jesosy nitodika ka nahita azy manaraka, dia nanao taminy hoe: Inona no tadiavinareo? Ary hoy izy roa lahy taminy: Raby (izay atao hoe, raha adika, Mpampianatra ô), aiza Hianao no mitoetra?
And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
39 Hoy Izy taminy: Avia, fa ho hitanareo. Koa dia nandeha izy ka nahita izay nitoerany ary nitoetra teo aminy tamin’ izany andro izany; ary efa tokony ho ora fahafolo tamin’ izay.
He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
40 Andrea, rahalahin’ i Simona Petera, no anankiray tamin’ izy roa lahy, izay nandre ny tenin’ i Jaona ka nanaraka an’ i Jesosy.
One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 Izy no nahita an’ i Simona rahalahiny aloha, dia hoy izy taminy: Efa nahita ny Mesia izahay (izay atso hoe, raha adika, ny Kristy).
He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Christ).
42 Dia nitondra azy ho any amin’ i Jesosy izy. Ary nony nijery azy Jesosy, dia hoy Izy: Hianao no Simona, zanak’ i Jaona; ianao hatao hoe Kefasy (izay atao hoe, raha adika, Petera)
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, Peter).
43 Nony ampitso dia te-hiala ho any Galilia Jesosy, ary nahita an’ i Filipo Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Manaraha Ahy.
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
44 Ary Filipo dia avy any Betsaida, tanànan’ i Andrea sy Petera.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Filipo kosa nahita an’ i Natanaela ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa hitanay Ilay nosoratan’ i Mosesy tao amin’ ny lalàna, sy nosoratan’ ny mpaminany, dia Jesosy, zanak’ i Josefa, avy any Nazareta.
Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
46 Ary hoy Natanaela taminy: Moa mba misy zava-tsoa va avy any Nazareta? Dia hoy Filipo taminy: Andeha hizaha.
And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
47 Jesosy nahita an’ i Natanaela avy manatona Azy, dia nilaza azy hoe: Indro ny tena Isiraelita tsy misy fitaka.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
48 Hoy Natanaela taminy: Ahoana no ahafantaranao ahy? Dia namaly Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Fony tsy mbola niantso anao Filipo, dia hitako teo ambanin’ ny aviavy ianao.
Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
49 Dia namaly Natanaela ka nanao hoe: Raby ô, Hianao no Zanak’ Andriamanitra; Hianao no Mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
50 Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Moa ny nilazako taminao va fa hitako teo ambanin’ ny aviavy ianao no inoanao? Hahita zavatra lehibe noho izany ianao.
Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
51 Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Ho hitanareo ny lanitra misokatra sy ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra miakatra sy midìna eo ambonin’ ny Zanak’ olona.
And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
