Juan 1
1 En el principio era el Verbo, y el Verbo estaba con Dios, y el Verbo era Dios.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 El mismo estaba en el principio con Dios.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 Todas las cosas fueron hechas por medio de él. Sin él no se hizo nada de lo que se ha hecho.
All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
4 En él estaba la vida, y la vida era la luz de los hombres.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 La luz brilla en las tinieblas, y las tinieblas no la han vencido.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 Vino un hombre enviado por Dios, que se llamaba Juan.
There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Este vino como testigo, para dar testimonio de la luz, a fin de que todos creyeran por medio de él.
The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Él no era la luz, sino que fue enviado para dar testimonio de la luz.
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 La verdadera luz que ilumina a todo hombre, venía a este mundo.
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 Estaba en el mundo, y el mundo fue hecho por medio de él, y el mundo no le reconoció.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him.
11 Vino a los suyos, y los suyos no le recibieron.
He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
12 Pero a todos los que le recibieron, les dio el derecho de ser hijos de Dios, a los que creen en su nombre:
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 que no nacieron de sangre, ni de voluntad de carne, ni de voluntad de hombre, sino de Dios.
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 El Verbo se hizo carne y vivió entre nosotros. Vimos su gloria, una gloria como la del Hijo unigénito del Padre, lleno de gracia y de verdad.
The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Juan dio testimonio de él. Clamó diciendo: “Este era aquel de quien dije: “El que viene después de mí me ha superado, porque era antes que yo””.
John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
16 De su plenitud todos hemos recibido gracia sobre gracia.
From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
17 Porque la ley fue dada por medio de Moisés. La gracia y la verdad se realizaron por medio de Jesucristo.
For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
18 Nadie ha visto a Dios en ningún momento. El Hijo único, que está en el seno del Padre, lo ha declarado.
No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
19 Este es el testimonio de Juan, cuando los judíos enviaron sacerdotes y levitas de Jerusalén para preguntarle: “¿Quién eres tú?”
This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Declaró, y no negó, sino declaró: “Yo no soy el Cristo”.
He declared, and did not deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
21 Le preguntaron: “¿Entonces qué? ¿Eres tú Elías?” Él dijo: “No lo soy”. “¿Eres el profeta?” Él respondió: “No”.
They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
22 Le dijeron entonces: “¿Quién eres tú? Danos una respuesta para llevarla a los que nos han enviado. ¿Qué dices de ti mismo?”
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 Dijo: “Soy la voz del que clama en el desierto: “Enderezad el camino del Señor”, como dijo el profeta Isaías”.
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 Los enviados eran de los fariseos.
The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
25 Le preguntaron: “¿Por qué, pues, bautizas si no eres el Cristo, ni Elías, ni el profeta?”.
They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
26 Juan les respondió: “Yo bautizo en agua, pero entre vosotros hay uno que no conocéis.
John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
27 Él es el que viene después de mí, el que es preferido antes que yo, cuya correa de la sandalia no soy digno de desatar.”
He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loosen.”
28 Estas cosas sucedieron en Betania, al otro lado del Jordán, donde Juan bautizaba.
These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Al día siguiente, vio a Jesús que se acercaba a él, y dijo: “¡He aquí el Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo!
The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 Este es aquel de quien dije: “Después de mí viene un hombre que es preferido antes que yo, porque era antes que yo”.
This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
31 Yo no lo conocía, pero por eso vine a bautizar en agua, para que fuera revelado a Israel.”
I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
32 Juan dio testimonio diciendo: “He visto al Espíritu descender del cielo como una paloma, y permaneció sobre él.
John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 Yo no lo reconocí, pero el que me envió a bautizar en agua me dijo: ‘Sobre quien veas descender el Espíritu y permanecer sobre él es el que bautiza en el Espíritu Santo’.
I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’
34 He visto y he dado testimonio de que éste es el Hijo de Dios”.
I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 Al día siguiente, Juan estaba de pie con dos de sus discípulos,
Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 y mirando a Jesús mientras caminaba, dijo: “¡He aquí el Cordero de Dios!”
and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
37 Los dos discípulos le oyeron hablar y siguieron a Jesús.
The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Jesús se volvió y, al ver que le seguían, les dijo: “¿Qué buscáis?” Le dijeron: “Rabí” (que se interpreta como Maestro), “¿dónde te alojas?”.
Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
39 Les dijo: “Venid y ved”. Vinieron y vieron dónde se alojaba, y se quedaron con él ese día. Era como la hora décima.
He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
40 Uno de los que oyeron a Juan y le siguieron fue Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro.
One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 Este encontró primero a su propio hermano, Simón, y le dijo: “¡Hemos encontrado al Mesías!” (que es, interpretado, Cristo).
He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
42 Lo llevó a Jesús. Jesús lo miró y le dijo: “Tú eres Simón, hijo de Jonás. Seras llamado Cefas” (que es, por interpretación, Pedro).
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter).
43 Al día siguiente, decidido a salir a Galilea, encontró a Felipe. Jesús le dijo: “Sígueme”.
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Felipe era de Betsaida, la ciudad de Andrés y Pedro.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Felipe encontró a Natanael y le dijo: “Hemos encontrado a aquel de quien escribió Moisés en la ley y también los profetas: Jesús de Nazaret, hijo de José”.
Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46 Natanael le dijo: “¿Puede salir algo bueno de Nazaret?” Felipe le dijo: “Ven a ver”.
Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 Jesús vio que Natanael se acercaba a él, y dijo de él: “¡He aquí un verdadero israelita, en quien no hay engaño!”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
48 Natanael le dijo: “¿De qué me conoces?” Jesús le respondió: “Antes de que Felipe te llamara, cuando estabas debajo de la higuera, te vi”.
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 Natanael le respondió: “¡Rabí, tú eres el Hijo de Dios! Tú eres el Rey de Israel”.
Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
50 Jesús le respondió: “¿Porque te he dicho que te he visto debajo de la higuera, crees? Verás cosas más grandes que éstas”.
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 Le dijo: “Te aseguro que de aquí en adelante veréis el cielo abierto y a los ángeles de Dios subiendo y bajando sobre el Hijo del Hombre.”
He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
