ܝܘܚܢܢ 1
| ܒܪܫܝܬ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܗܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܗܘ ܡܠܬܐ | 1 |
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
| ܗܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܫܝܬ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ | 2 |
This one was in the beginning with God.
| ܟܠ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܗܘܐ ܘܒܠܥܕܘܗܝ ܐܦܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ | 3 |
All things were made through him, and without him there was not one thing made that has been made.
| ܒܗ ܚܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܚܝܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ | 4 |
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
| ܘܗܘ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܡܢܗܪ ܘܚܫܘܟܐ ܠܐ ܐܕܪܟܗ | 5 |
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
| ܗܘܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܐܫܬܕܪ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܫܡܗ ܝܘܚܢܢ | 6 |
There was a man who was sent from God, whose name was John.
| ܗܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܢܤܗܕ ܥܠ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܢܗܝܡܢ ܒܐܝܕܗ | 7 |
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
| ܠܐ ܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܤܗܕ ܥܠ ܢܘܗܪܐ | 8 |
John was not the light, but came that he might testify about the light.
| ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܕܡܢܗܪ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ | 9 |
The true light, which gives light to all men, was coming into the world.
| ܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܥܠܡܐ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܗܘܐ ܘܥܠܡܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܗ | 10 |
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him.
| ܠܕܝܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܘܕܝܠܗ ܠܐ ܩܒܠܘܗܝ | 11 |
He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.
| ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܩܒܠܘܗܝ ܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܫܡܗ | 12 |
But to as many as received him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
| ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܘ ܡܢ ܕܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܢ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܒܤܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܢ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܝܠܕܘ | 13 |
These were not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
| ܘܡܠܬܐ ܒܤܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܓܢ ܒܢ ܘܚܙܝܢ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܒܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܩܘܫܬܐ | 14 |
The Word became flesh and lived among us. We have seen his glory, glory as of the one and only who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
| ܝܘܚܢܢ ܤܗܕ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܩܥܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܕܒܬܪܝ ܐܬܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܩܕܡܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܕܡܝ ܗܘ ܡܢܝ | 15 |
John testified about him and cried out, saying, “This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, for he was before me.'”
| ܘܡܢ ܡܠܝܘܬܗ ܚܢܢ ܟܠܢ ܢܤܒܢ ܘܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ | 16 |
For from his fullness we have all received grace after grace.
| ܡܛܠ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܒܝܕ ܡܘܫܐ ܐܬܝܗܒ ܫܪܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܒܝܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘܐ | 17 |
For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
| ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܥܘܒܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܐܫܬܥܝ | 18 |
No one has seen God at any time. The one and only God, who is at the side of the Father, he has made him known.
| ܘܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܟܕ ܫܕܪܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܘܝܐ ܕܢܫܐܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܐܢܬ | 19 |
This is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
| ܘܐܘܕܝ ܘܠܐ ܟܦܪ ܘܐܘܕܝ ܕܠܘ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ | 20 |
He confessed—he did not deny, but confessed—”I am not the Christ.”
| ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܘܒ ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܠܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܢܒܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐ | 21 |
So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” They said, “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
| ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܘܡܢܘ ܐܢܬ ܕܢܬܠ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܕܪܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܟ | 22 |
Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܩܠܐ ܕܩܪܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܫܘܘ ܐܘܪܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ | 23 |
He said, “I am a voice, crying in the wilderness: 'Make the way of the Lord straight,' just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܫܬܕܪܘ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܘܘ | 24 |
Now some from the Pharisees were sent,
| ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܥܡܕ ܐܢܬ ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܟ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܠܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܒܝܐ | 25 |
and they asked him and said to him, “Why do you baptize then if you are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?”
| ܥܢܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܥܡܕ ܐܢܐ ܒܡܝܐ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܩܐܡ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ | 26 |
John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water. But among you stands someone you do not know.
| ܗܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܒܬܪܝ ܐܬܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܩܕܡܝ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܫܪܐ ܥܪܩܐ ܕܡܤܢܘܗܝ | 27 |
He is the one who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”
| ܗܠܝܢ ܒܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܗܘܝ ܒܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܡܥܡܕ ܗܘܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ | 28 |
These things were done in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
| ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܚܙܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܐܡܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܩܠ ܚܛܝܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ | 29 |
The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look, there is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
| ܗܢܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܒܬܪܝ ܐܬܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܩܕܡܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܕܡܝ ܗܘ ܡܢܝ | 30 |
This is the one of whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is more than me, for he was before me.'
| ܘܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܬܝܕܥ ܠܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܡܝܐ ܐܥܡܕ | 31 |
I did not know him, but it was so that he could be revealed to Israel that I came baptizing with water.”
| ܘܐܤܗܕ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܠܪܘܚܐ ܕܢܚܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܝܘܢܐ ܘܩܘܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ | 32 |
John testified, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it stayed upon him.
| ܘܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܕܐܥܡܕ ܒܡܝܐ ܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܕܐܝܢܐ ܕܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܢܚܬܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܡܩܘܝܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܗܢܘ ܡܥܡܕ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ | 33 |
I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, he is the one baptizing in the Holy Spirit.'
| ܘܐܢܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܘܐܤܗܕܬ ܕܗܢܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ | 34 |
I have both seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
| ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ | 35 |
Again, the next day, as John was standing with two of his disciples,
| ܘܚܪ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܐܡܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ | 36 |
they saw Jesus walking by, and John said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
| ܘܫܡܥܘ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ | 37 |
His two disciples heard him say this and they followed Jesus.
| ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܚܙܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܪܒܢ ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܬ | 38 |
Then Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What do you want?” They replied, “Rabbi (which translated means teacher), where are you staying?”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܘ ܘܬܚܙܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܘ ܘܚܙܘ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܘܠܘܬܗ ܗܘܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܐܝܟ ܫܥܐ ܥܤܪ | 39 |
He said to them, “Come and see.” Then they came and saw where he was staying; they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
| ܚܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܢ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ | 40 |
One of the two who heard John speak and then followed Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
| ܗܢܐ ܚܙܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܫܟܚܢܝܗܝ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ | 41 |
He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated is: Christ).
| ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܚܪ ܒܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܪܗ ܕܝܘܢܐ ܐܢܬ ܬܬܩܪܐ ܟܐܦܐ | 42 |
He brought him to Jesus, and Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).
| ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܦܩ ܠܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܠܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ | 43 |
The next day, when Jesus wanted to leave to go to Galilee, he found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܕܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܘܕܫܡܥܘܢ | 44 |
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
| ܘܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܫܟܚ ܠܢܬܢܝܐܝܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܘ ܕܟܬܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܘܫܐ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܒܢܒܝܐ ܐܫܟܚܢܝܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ ܒܪ ܝܘܤܦ ܡܢ ܢܨܪܬ | 45 |
Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, “He of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, we have found him: Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܢܬܢܝܐܝܠ ܡܢ ܢܨܪܬ ܡܫܟܚ ܡܕܡ ܕܛܒ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܬܐ ܘܬܚܙܐ | 46 |
Nathaniel said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
| ܘܚܙܝܗܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܢܬܢܝܐܝܠ ܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܗܐ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܪ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܢܟܠܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗ | 47 |
Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and said about him, “See, a true Israelite, in whom is no deceit!”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܢܬܢܝܐܝܠ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܕܠܐ ܢܩܪܝܟ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܟܕ ܬܚܝܬ ܬܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܚܙܝܬܟ | 48 |
Nathaniel said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
| ܥܢܐ ܢܬܢܝܐܝܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܒܝ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܗ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ | 49 |
Nathaniel replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܠ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܠܟ ܕܚܙܝܬܟ ܬܚܝܬ ܬܬܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܕܪܘܪܒܢ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܚܙܐ | 50 |
Jesus replied and said to him, “Because I said to you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than this.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܬܚܙܘܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܦܬܝܚܝܢ ܘܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܟܕ ܤܠܩܝܢ ܘܢܚܬܝܢ ܠܘܬ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ | 51 |
Then he said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
