< Jean 1 >

1 Er penn-kentañ e oa ar Ger, hag ar Ger a oa gant Doue, hag ar Ger a oa Doue.
In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
2 Er penn-kentañ e oa gant Doue.
This same was in the beginning with God.
3 An holl draoù a zo bet graet drezañ, ha netra eus ar pezh a zo bet graet, n'eo bet graet heptañ.
All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
4 Ennañ e oa ar vuhez, hag ar vuhez a oa sklêrijenn an dud.
In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
5 Ar sklêrijenn he deus lugernet en deñvalijenn, hag an deñvalijenn n'he deus ket he degemeret.
And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
6 Bez' e voe un den, anvet Yann, kaset a-berzh Doue.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
7 Dont a reas da vezañ test, da reiñ testeni d'ar sklêrijenn, evit ma kredje an holl drezañ.
This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
8 Ne oa ket ar sklêrijenn, met kaset e oa da reiñ testeni d'ar sklêrijenn.
He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
9 Ar sklêrijenn wirion, an hini a sklaera pep den, a oa o tont er bed.
This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
10 Er bed e oa, hag ar bed a zo bet graet gantañ; met ar bed n'en deus ket e anavezet.
He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
11 Deuet eo da gavout e re, hag e re n'o eus ket e zegemeret.
He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
12 Met d'an holl re o deus e zegemeret, en deus roet an droed da vezañ graet bugale da Zoue, da c'houzout eo, d'an holl re a gred en e anv,
But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name.
13 ar re n'int ket bet ganet eus ar gwad, nag eus bolontez ar c'hig, nag eus bolontez an den, met eus Doue.
Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
14 Hag ar Ger a zo bet graet kig, hag en deus chomet en hon touez, leun a c'hras hag a wirionez, ha gwelet hon eus e c'hloar, ur gloar evel hini Mab nemetañ an Tad.
And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs, (and we sawe the glorie thereof, as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father) full of grace and trueth.
15 Yann a roas testeni dezhañ, pa grias o lavarout: Hemañ eo an hini a lavaren diwar e benn: An hini a zeu war va lerc'h a zo dreiston, abalamour ma oa kentoc'h egedon.
Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I.
16 Ni holl hon eus resevet eus e leunder, ha gras evit gras.
And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
17 Rak al lezenn a zo bet roet dre Voizez, an drugarez hag ar wirionez a zo deuet dre Jezuz-Krist.
For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
18 Den n'en deus biskoazh gwelet Doue; ar Mab nemetañ a zo en askre an Tad, eo an hini en deus graet e anavezout.
No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 Setu amañ testeni Yann, pa gasas ar Yuzevien eus Jeruzalem beleien ha levited da c'houlenn outañ: Piv out-te?
Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
20 Disklêriañ a reas ha ne nac'has ket, disklêriañ a reas: N'on ket-me ar C'hrist.
And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
21 Hag e c'houlennjont outañ: Piv out eta? Bez' out Elia? Eñ a lavaras: N'on ket. Bez' out ar profed? Eñ a respontas: Nann.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Int a lavaras eta dezhañ: Piv out-te? Evit ma roimp respont d'ar re o deus hon degaset. Petra a lavarez ac'hanout da-unan?
Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe?
23 Eñ a lavaras: Me eo mouezh an hini a gri el lec'h distro: Plaenit hent an Aotrou, evel m'en deus lavaret ar profed Izaia.
He said, I am the voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias.
24 Ar re a oa bet kaset a oa farizianed.
Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
25 Goulenn a rejont outañ: Perak e vadezez, ma n'out nag ar C'hrist, nag Elia, nag ar profed?
And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
26 Yann a respontas hag a lavaras dezho: Evidon-me, me a vadez en dour; met unan bennak a zo en ho touez, ha n'anavezit ket anezhañ.
Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
27 Hennezh eo an hini a zeu war va lerc'h, [hag a zo dreiston]; ha n'on ket dellezek da zieren korreenn e votoù.
He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
28 Kement-mañ a c'hoarvezas e Betania, en tu all d'ar Jordan, e-lec'h ma vadeze Yann.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
29 An deiz war-lerc'h, Yann a welas Jezuz o tont d'e gavout, hag a lavaras: Setu Oan Doue, an hini a lam pec'hed ar bed.
The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.
30 Eñ eo an hini e lavaren diwar e benn: Dont a ra war va lerc'h un den hag a zo dreiston, rak a-raok din e oa.
This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
31 Evidon-me, n'anavezen ket anezhañ; met deuet on da vadeziñ en dour, evit ma vo disklêriet da Israel.
And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
32 Yann a roas c'hoazh an testeni-mañ, o lavarout: Gwelet em eus ar Spered o tiskenn eus an neñv evel ur goulm, hag o tont warnañ.
So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
33 Evidon-me, n'anavezen ket anezhañ; met an hini en deus va c'haset da vadeziñ en dour, en deus lavaret din: An hini a weli ar Spered o tiskenn hag o chom warnañ, hennezh eo an hini a vadez er Spered-Santel.
And I knewe him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he saide vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come downe, and tary still on him, that is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost.
34 Hag em eus gwelet, hag em eus roet testeni eo eñ Mab Doue.
And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
35 An deiz war-lerc'h, Yann a oa c'hoazh eno gant daou eus e ziskibien,
The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
36 hag o welout Jezuz a valee, e lavaras: Setu Oan Doue.
And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
37 An daou ziskibl, o vezañ e glevet o komz evel-se, a heulias Jezuz.
And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
38 Jezuz o vezañ distroet hag o welout e heulient anezhañ, a lavaras dezho: Petra a glaskit? Respont a rejont dezhañ: Rabbi (da lavarout eo Mestr), pelec'h e chomez?
Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou?
39 Eñ a lavaras dezho: Deuit ha gwelit. Mont a rejont, hag e weljont pelec'h e chome, hag e chomjont gantañ an deiz-se, rak war-dro an dekvet eur e oa.
He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre.
40 Andrev, breur Simon-Pêr, a oa unan eus an daou o devoa klevet ar pezh en devoa lavaret Yann, hag o devoa heuliet Jezuz.
Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
41 Andrev a gavas da gentañ Simon e vreur, hag a lavaras dezhañ: Ni hon eus kavet ar Mesiaz (da lavarout eo ar C'hrist, an Eouliet).
The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
42 Hag e tegasas anezhañ da Jezuz. Jezuz, o vezañ sellet outañ, a lavaras dezhañ: Te eo Simon, mab Jona; te a vo galvet Kefaz (da lavarout eo Pêr).
And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone.
43 An deiz war-lerc'h, Jezuz a c'hoantaas mont e Galilea, hag e kavas Filip; lavarout a reas dezhañ: Heul ac'hanon.
The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
44 Filip a oa eus Betsaida, kêr Andrev ha Pêr.
Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
45 Filip a gavas Natanael hag a lavaras dezhañ: Kavet hon eus an hini a zo bet skrivet diwar e benn gant Moizez el lezenn ha gant ar brofeded: Jezuz, mab Jozef, eus Nazared.
Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth.
46 Natanael a lavaras dezhañ: Hag eus Nazared e c'hell dont un dra vat bennak? Filip a lavaras dezhañ: Deus ha gwel.
Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
47 Jezuz, o welout Natanael o tont d'e gavout, a lavaras diwar e benn: Setu ur gwir Israelad, ha n'eus ket a droidell ennañ.
Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
48 Natanael a lavaras dezhañ: A-belec'h ec'h anavezez ac'hanon? Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: A-raok ma c'halvas Filip ac'hanout, pa oas dindan ar wezenn-fiez, e welen ac'hanout.
Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee.
49 Natanael a respontas dezhañ: Mestr, te eo Mab Doue, te eo roue Israel.
Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
50 Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: Abalamour ma em eus lavaret dit em boa da welet dindan ar wezenn-fiez, e kredez; te a welo traoù brasoc'h eget ar re-mañ.
Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these.
51 Lavarout a reas ivez dezhañ: E gwirionez, e gwirionez, me a lavar deoc'h: A-vremañ c'hwi a welo an neñv digor, hag aeled Doue o pignat hag o tiskenn a-us da Vab an den.
And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man.
