約翰福音 1
1 在起初已有聖言，聖言與天主同在，聖言就是天主。
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 聖言在起初就與天主同在。
This one was in the beginning with God.
3 萬有是藉著衪而造成的；凡受造的，沒有一樣不是由衪而造成的。
All things were made through him, and without him there was not one thing made that has been made.
4 在衪內有有生命，這生命是中的光。
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 光在黑暗中照耀，黑暗決不能勝過衪。
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
6 曾有一人，是由天主派遺來的，名叫若翰。
There was a man who was sent from God, whose name was John.
7 這人來是為作證，為給光作證，為使眾人藉他而信。
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 他不是那光，袛是為給那光作證。
John was not the light, but came that he might testify about the light.
9 那普照每人的真光，正在進入這世界；
The true light, which gives light to all men, was coming into the world.
10 衪已在世界上；世界原是藉衪造成的；但世界卻不認識衪。
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him.
11 衪來到了自己的領域，自己的人卻沒有接受衪。
He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.
12 但是凡接受衪的，衪給他們，即給那些信衪名字的人權能，好成為天主的子女。
But to as many as received him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
13 他們不是由血氣，也不是由肉慾，也不是由另男慾，而是由天主生的。
These were not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 於是聖言成了血肉，寄居在們中間；我們見了衪的光榮，正如父獨生者的光榮，滿溢恩寵和真理。
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.
15 若翰為衪作證呼喊說：「這就是我所說的：那在我以後來的，成了在我以前的，因衪原先我而有。」
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.'”
16 從衪的滿溢中，我們都領受了恩寵，而且恩寵上加恩寵。
For from his fullness we have all received grace after grace.
17 因為法律是藉梅瑟傳授的，恩寵和真理卻是由耶穌基督而來的。
For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 從來沒有人見過天主，只有那在父懷裏的獨生者，身為天主的，衪給我們詳述了。
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.
19 這是若翰所作的見證：當時，猶太人從耶路撒冷派遺了司祭和肋未人，到他那裏問他說：「你是誰？」
This is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 他明明承認，並沒有否認；他明認說：「我不是默西亞。」
He confessed—he did not deny, but confessed—”I am not the Christ.”
21 他們又問他說：「那麼你是誰？你是厄里亞嗎？」他回答說：「不是。」
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.”
22 於是他們問他說：「你究竟是誰？好叫們給派遺們來的人一個答覆。關於你自己，你說什麼呢？」
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?”
23 他說：「我是在荒野裏呼喊者的聲音：修直上主的道路吧! 正如依撒意亞先知所說的。」
He said, “I am a voice, crying in the wilderness: 'Make the way of the Lord straight,' just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
24 被派遺來的有些是法利賽人，
Now some from the Pharisees were sent,
25 他們又問他說：「你既不是默西亞，又不是厄里亞，也不是那位先知，那麼你為什麼施洗呢？」
and they asked him and said to him, “Why do you baptize then if you are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?”
26 若翰答覆他們說：「我以水施洗，你們中間站著一位，是你們所不認識的；
John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water. But among you stands someone you do not know.
27 衪在我以後來，我卻當不起解衪的鞋帶。」
He is the one who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”
28 這些事發生於約旦河對岸的伯達尼，若翰施洗的地方。
These things were done in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 第二天，若翰見耶穌向他走來，便說：「看，天主的羔羊，除免世罪者!
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!
30 這位就是我論衪曾說過：有一個人在我以後來，成了在我以前的，因衪原先我而有。
This is the one of whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is more than me, for he was before me.'
31 連我也不曾認識衪，但為使衪顯示於以色列，為此我來以水施洗。」
I did not know him, but it was so that he could be revealed to Israel that I came baptizing with water.”
32 若翰又作證說：「我看見聖神彷彿鴿子從天降下，停在衪身上。
John testified, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it stayed upon him.
33 我也不曾認識衪，但那派遺我來以水施洗的，給我說：你看見聖神降下，停在誰身上，誰就是那要以聖神施洗的人。
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.'
34 我看見了，我便作證：衪就是天主子。」
I have both seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 第二天，若翰和他的兩個門徒，又在那裏站著，
Again, the next day, as John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 若翰看見耶穌走過，便注視著衪說：「看，天主的羔羊! 」
they saw Jesus walking by, and John said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 那兩個門徒聽見他說這話，便跟隨了耶穌。
His two disciples heard him say this and they followed Jesus.
38 耶穌轉過身來，看見他們跟著，便問他們說：「辣彼! ─意即師傅─你住在那裏？」
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?”
39 衪向他們說：「你們來看看吧! 」他們於是去了，看了衪住的地方；並且那一天就在衪那裡住下了。那時，大約是第十時辰。
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.
40 西滿伯多祿的哥哥安德肋，就是聽了若翰的話，而跟隨了耶穌的那兩人中的一個，
One of the two who heard John speak and then followed Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 先去找了自己的弟弟西滿，並向他說：「我們找到了默西亞。」─意即基督。
He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated is: Christ).
42 遂領他到耶穌跟，耶穌注視他說：「你是若望的兒子西滿，你要叫『刻法』─意即伯多祿。
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).
43 第二天，耶穌願意往加利肋亞去，遇到了斐理伯，耶穌便向他說：「你跟隨我吧! 」
The next day, when Jesus wanted to leave to go to Galilee, he found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
44 斐理伯是貝特賽達人，與安德肋和伯多祿同城。
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 斐理伯遇到納塔乃耳，就向他說：「梅瑟在法律上所記載，和先知們所預報的，我們找著了，就是若瑟的兒子，出身於納匝肋的耶穌。」
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.”
46 納塔乃耳便向他說：「從納匝肋還能出什麼好事嗎？」斐理伯向說：「你來看一看吧! 」
Nathaniel said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 耶穌看見納塔乃耳向自己走來，就指著說：「看! 這確是一個以色列人，在他內毫無詭詐。」
Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and said about him, “See, a true Israelite, in whom is no deceit!”
48 納塔乃耳給衪說：「你從那裏認識我呢？」耶穌回答說：「斐理伯叫你以前，當你還在無花果樹下時，我就看見了你。」
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.”
49 納塔乃耳回答說：「辣彼，你是天主子，你是以色列的君王。」
Nathaniel replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 耶穌遂說道：「因為我向你說：我看見了你在無花果樹下，你就信了嗎？你要看見比這更大的事! 」
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.”
51 又向他說：「我實在告訴你們：你們要看見天開，天主的天使在人子身上，上去下來。」
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.”
