yohanaḥ 1
1 ādau vāda āsīt sa ca vāda īśvareṇa sārdhamāsīt sa vādaḥ svayamīśvara eva|
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 sa ādāvīśvareṇa sahāsīt|
He was in the beginning with God.
3 tena sarvvaṁ vastu sasṛje sarvveṣu sṛṣṭavastuṣu kimapi vastu tenāsṛṣṭaṁ nāsti|
All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
4 sa jīvanasyākāraḥ, tacca jīvanaṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ jyotiḥ
In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
5 tajjyotirandhakāre pracakāśe kintvandhakārastanna jagrāha|
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
6 yohan nāmaka eko manuja īśvareṇa preṣayāñcakre|
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 tadvārā yathā sarvve viśvasanti tadarthaṁ sa tajjyotiṣi pramāṇaṁ dātuṁ sākṣisvarūpo bhūtvāgamat,
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 sa svayaṁ tajjyoti rna kintu tajjyotiṣi pramāṇaṁ dātumāgamat|
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 jagatyāgatya yaḥ sarvvamanujebhyo dīptiṁ dadāti tadeva satyajyotiḥ|
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 sa yajjagadasṛjat tanmadya eva sa āsīt kintu jagato lokāstaṁ nājānan|
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
11 nijādhikāraṁ sa āgacchat kintu prajāstaṁ nāgṛhlan|
He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
12 tathāpi ye ye tamagṛhlan arthāt tasya nāmni vyaśvasan tebhya īśvarasya putrā bhavitum adhikāram adadāt|
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 teṣāṁ janiḥ śoṇitānna śārīrikābhilāṣānna mānavānāmicchāto na kintvīśvarādabhavat|
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 sa vādo manuṣyarūpeṇāvatīryya satyatānugrahābhyāṁ paripūrṇaḥ san sārdham asmābhi rnyavasat tataḥ pituradvitīyaputrasya yogyo yo mahimā taṁ mahimānaṁ tasyāpaśyāma|
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 tato yohanapi pracāryya sākṣyamidaṁ dattavān yo mama paścād āgamiṣyati sa matto gurutaraḥ; yato matpūrvvaṁ sa vidyamāna āsīt; yadartham ahaṁ sākṣyamidam adāṁ sa eṣaḥ|
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 aparañca tasya pūrṇatāyā vayaṁ sarvve kramaśaḥ kramaśonugrahaṁ prāptāḥ|
For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
17 mūsādvārā vyavasthā dattā kintvanugrahaḥ satyatvañca yīśukhrīṣṭadvārā samupātiṣṭhatāṁ|
For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus (the) Messiah.
18 kopi manuja īśvaraṁ kadāpi nāpaśyat kintu pituḥ kroḍastho'dvitīyaḥ putrastaṁ prakāśayat|
No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
19 tvaṁ kaḥ? iti vākyaṁ preṣṭuṁ yadā yihūdīyalokā yājakān levilokāṁśca yirūśālamo yohanaḥ samīpe preṣayāmāsuḥ,
And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
20 tadā sa svīkṛtavān nāpahnūtavān nāham abhiṣikta ityaṅgīkṛtavān|
And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Messiah."
21 tadā te'pṛcchan tarhi ko bhavān? kiṁ eliyaḥ? sovadat na; tataste'pṛcchan tarhi bhavān sa bhaviṣyadvādī? sovadat nāhaṁ saḥ|
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
22 tadā te'pṛcchan tarhi bhavān kaḥ? vayaṁ gatvā prerakān tvayi kiṁ vakṣyāmaḥ? svasmin kiṁ vadasi?
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 tadā sovadat| parameśasya panthānaṁ pariṣkuruta sarvvataḥ| itīdaṁ prāntare vākyaṁ vadataḥ kasyacidravaḥ| kathāmimāṁ yasmin yiśayiyo bhaviṣyadvādī likhitavān soham|
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 ye preṣitāste phirūśilokāḥ|
(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
25 tadā te'pṛcchan yadi nābhiṣiktosi eliyosi na sa bhaviṣyadvādyapi nāsi ca, tarhi lokān majjayasi kutaḥ?
And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
26 tato yohan pratyavocat, toye'haṁ majjayāmīti satyaṁ kintu yaṁ yūyaṁ na jānītha tādṛśa eko jano yuṣmākaṁ madhya upatiṣṭhati|
John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
27 sa matpaścād āgatopi matpūrvvaṁ varttamāna āsīt tasya pādukābandhanaṁ mocayitumapi nāhaṁ yogyosmi|
He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
28 yarddananadyāḥ pārasthabaithabārāyāṁ yasminsthāne yohanamajjayat tasmina sthāne sarvvametad aghaṭata|
These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 pare'hani yohan svanikaṭamāgacchantaṁ yiśuṁ vilokya prāvocat jagataḥ pāpamocakam īśvarasya meṣaśāvakaṁ paśyata|
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 yo mama paścādāgamiṣyati sa matto gurutaraḥ, yato hetormatpūrvvaṁ so'varttata yasminnahaṁ kathāmimāṁ kathitavān sa evāyaṁ|
This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
31 aparaṁ nāhamenaṁ pratyabhijñātavān kintu isrāyellokā enaṁ yathā paricinvanti tadabhiprāyeṇāhaṁ jale majjayitumāgaccham|
I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
32 punaśca yohanaparamekaṁ pramāṇaṁ datvā kathitavān vihāyasaḥ kapotavad avatarantamātmānam asyoparyyavatiṣṭhantaṁ ca dṛṣṭavānaham|
And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 nāhamenaṁ pratyabhijñātavān iti satyaṁ kintu yo jale majjayituṁ māṁ prairayat sa evemāṁ kathāmakathayat yasyoparyyātmānam avatarantam avatiṣṭhantañca drakṣayasi saeva pavitre ātmani majjayiṣyati|
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 avastannirīkṣyāyam īśvarasya tanaya iti pramāṇaṁ dadāmi|
And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
35 pare'hani yohan dvābhyāṁ śiṣyābhyāṁ sārddheṁ tiṣṭhan
Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 yiśuṁ gacchantaṁ vilokya gaditavān, īśvarasya meṣaśāvakaṁ paśyataṁ|
and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
37 imāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā dvau śiṣyau yīśoḥ paścād īyatuḥ|
And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
38 tato yīśuḥ parāvṛtya tau paścād āgacchantau dṛṣṭvā pṛṣṭavān yuvāṁ kiṁ gaveśayathaḥ? tāvapṛcchatāṁ he rabbi arthāt he guro bhavān kutra tiṣṭhati?
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 tataḥ sovādit etya paśyataṁ| tato divasasya tṛtīyapraharasya gatatvāt tau taddinaṁ tasya saṅge'sthātāṁ|
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 yau dvau yohano vākyaṁ śrutvā yiśoḥ paścād āgamatāṁ tayoḥ śimonpitarasya bhrātā āndriyaḥ
One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 sa itvā prathamaṁ nijasodaraṁ śimonaṁ sākṣātprāpya kathitavān vayaṁ khrīṣṭam arthāt abhiṣiktapuruṣaṁ sākṣātkṛtavantaḥ|
He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Anointed One).
42 paścāt sa taṁ yiśoḥ samīpam ānayat| tadā yīśustaṁ dṛṣṭvāvadat tvaṁ yūnasaḥ putraḥ śimon kintu tvannāmadheyaṁ kaiphāḥ vā pitaraḥ arthāt prastaro bhaviṣyati|
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated, Peter).
43 pare'hani yīśau gālīlaṁ gantuṁ niścitacetasi sati philipanāmānaṁ janaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvocat mama paścād āgaccha|
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
44 baitsaidānāmni yasmin grāme pitarāndriyayorvāsa āsīt tasmin grāme tasya philipasya vasatirāsīt|
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 paścāt philipo nithanelaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvadat mūsā vyavasthā granthe bhaviṣyadvādināṁ grantheṣu ca yasyākhyānaṁ likhitamāste taṁ yūṣaphaḥ putraṁ nāsaratīyaṁ yīśuṁ sākṣād akārṣma vayaṁ|
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 tadā nithanel kathitavān nāsarannagarāta kiṁ kaściduttama utpantuṁ śaknoti? tataḥ philipo 'vocat etya paśya|
And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
47 aparañca yīśuḥ svasya samīpaṁ tam āgacchantaṁ dṛṣṭvā vyāhṛtavān, paśyāyaṁ niṣkapaṭaḥ satya isrāyellokaḥ|
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
48 tataḥ sovadad, bhavān māṁ kathaṁ pratyabhijānāti? yīśuravādīt philipasya āhvānāt pūrvvaṁ yadā tvamuḍumbarasya tarormūle'sthāstadā tvāmadarśam|
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 nithanel acakathat, he guro bhavān nitāntam īśvarasya putrosi, bhavān isrāyelvaṁśasya rājā|
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
50 tato yīśu rvyāharat, tvāmuḍumbarasya pādapasya mūle dṛṣṭavānāhaṁ mamaitasmādvākyāt kiṁ tvaṁ vyaśvasīḥ? etasmādapyāścaryyāṇi kāryyāṇi drakṣyasi|
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 anyaccāvādīd yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, itaḥ paraṁ mocite meghadvāre tasmānmanujasūnunā īśvarasya dūtagaṇam avarohantamārohantañca drakṣyatha|
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."
