Ivan 1
1 U početku bijaše Riječ i Riječ bijaše u Boga i Riječ bijaše Bog.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Ona bijaše u početku u Boga.
He was in the beginning with God.
3 Sve postade po njoj i bez nje ne postade ništa. Svemu što postade
All things were made through him, and nothing that was made was made without him.
4 u njoj bijaše život i život bijaše ljudima svjetlo;
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 i svjetlo u tami svijetli i tama ga ne obuze.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 Bi čovjek poslan od Boga, ime mu Ivan.
There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 On dođe kao svjedok da posvjedoči za Svjetlo da svi vjeruju po njemu.
He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.
8 Ne bijaše on Svjetlo, nego - da posvjedoči za Svjetlo.
He himself was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.
9 Svjetlo istinsko koje prosvjetljuje svakog čovjeka dođe na svijet;
The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
10 bijaše na svijetu i svijet po njemu posta i svijet ga ne upozna.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not know him.
11 K svojima dođe i njegovi ga ne primiše.
He came to his own, but his own people did not receive him.
12 A onima koji ga primiše podade moć da postanu djeca Božja: onima koji vjeruju u njegovo ime,
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
13 koji su rođeni ne od krvi, ni od volje tjelesne, ni od volje muževlje, nego - od Boga.
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 I Riječ tijelom postade i nastani se među nama i vidjesmo slavu njegovu - slavu koju ima kao Jedinorođenac od Oca - pun milosti i istine.
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Ivan svjedoči za njega. Viče: “To je onaj o kojem rekoh: koji za mnom dolazi, preda mnom je jer bijaše prije mene!”
John testified about him and cried out, “This is he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’”
16 Doista, od punine njegove svi mi primismo, i to milost na milost.
Of his fullness we have all received, even grace upon grace.
17 Uistinu, Zakon bijaše dan po Mojsiju, a milost i istina nasta po Isusu Kristu.
For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Boga nitko nikada ne vidje: Jedinorođenac - Bog - koji je u krilu Očevu, on ga obznani.
No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
19 A evo svjedočanstva Ivanova. Kad su Židovi iz Jeruzalema poslali k njemu svećenike i levite da ga upitaju: “Tko si ti?”,
This was the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are yoʋ?”
20 on prizna; ne zanijeka, nego prizna: “Ja nisam Krist.”
He did not refuse to answer, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”
21 Upitaše ga nato: “Što dakle? Jesi li Ilija?” Odgovori: “Nisam.” “Jesi li Prorok?” Odgovori: “Ne.”
So they asked him, “What then? Are yoʋ Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are yoʋ the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
22 Tada mu rekoše: “Pa tko si da dadnemo odgovor onima koji su nas poslali? Što kažeš sam o sebi?”
So they said to him, “Who are yoʋ? Tell us so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do yoʋ say about yoʋrself?”
23 On odgovori: “Ja sam glas koji viče u pustinji: Poravnite put Gospodnji! - kako reče prorok Izaija.”
He said, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 A neki izaslanici bijahu farizeji.
(Now those who had been sent were from the Pharisees.)
25 Oni prihvatiše riječ i upitaše ga: “Zašto onda krstiš kad nisi Krist, ni Ilija, ni Prorok?”
Then they asked him, “Why then do yoʋ baptize if yoʋ are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
26 Ivan im odgovori: “Ja krstim vodom. Među vama stoji koga vi ne poznate -
John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know.
27 onaj koji za mnom dolazi, komu ja nisam dostojan odriješiti remenje na obući.”
He is the one who comes after me, who ranks ahead of me, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
28 To se dogodilo u Betaniji s onu stranu Jordana, gdje je Ivan krstio.
These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Sutradan Ivan ugleda Isusa gdje dolazi k njemu pa reče: “Evo Jaganjca Božjega koji odnosi grijeh svijeta!”
On the next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 To je onaj o kojem rekoh: Za mnom dolazi čovjek koji je preda mnom jer bijaše prije mene!”
This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’
31 “Ja ga nisam poznavao, ali baš zato dođoh i krstim vodom da se on očituje Izraelu.”
I myself did not know him, but I came baptizing with water so that he might be revealed to Israel.”
32 I posvjedoči Ivan: “Promatrao sam Duha gdje s neba silazi kao golub i ostaje na njemu.
Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained upon him.
33 Njega ja nisam poznavao, ali onaj koji me posla vodom krstiti reče mi: 'Na koga vidiš da Duh silazi i ostaje na njemu, to je onaj koji krsti Duhom Svetim.'
I myself did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He upon whom yoʋ see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 I ja sam to vidio i svjedočim: on je Sin Božji.”
And I have seen it happen and can testify that this is the Son of God.”
35 Sutradan opet stajaše Ivan s dvojicom svojih učenika.
On the next day John was again standing with two of his disciples.
36 Ugleda Isusa koji je onuda prolazio i reče: “Evo Jaganjca Božjega!”
As Jesus walked by, John looked at him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”
37 Te njegove riječi čula ona dva njegova učenika pa pođoše za Isusom.
When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
38 Isus se obazre i vidjevši da idu za njim, upita ih: “Što tražite?” Oni mu rekoše: “Rabbi” - što znači: “Učitelju - gdje stanuješ?”
Turning around, Jesus saw them following him and said to them, “What are you seeking?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are yoʋ staying?”
39 Reče im: “Dođite i vidjet ćete.” Pođoše dakle i vidješe gdje stanuje i ostadoše kod njega onaj dan. Bila je otprilike deseta ura.
He said to them, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and stayed with him that day; it was about the tenth hour.
40 Jedan od one dvojice, koji su čuvši Ivana pošli za Isusom, bijaše Andrija, brat Šimuna Petra.
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard this from John and followed Jesus.
41 On najprije nađe svoga brata Šimuna te će mu: “Našli smo Mesiju!” - što znači “Krist - Pomazanik”.
Andrew first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means “Christ”),
42 Dovede ga Isusu, a Isus ga pogleda i reče: “Ti si Šimun, sin Ivanov! Zvat ćeš se Kefa!” - što znači “Petar - Stijena”.
and he brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “Yoʋ are Simon the son of Jonah; yoʋ shall be called Cephas” (which means “Peter”).
43 Sutradan naumi Isus poći u Galileju. Nađe Filipa i reče mu: “Pođi za mnom!”
On the next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Filip je bio iz Betsaide, iz grada Andrijina i Petrova.
(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.)
45 Filip nađe Natanaela i javi mu: “Našli smo onoga o kome je pisao Mojsije u Zakonu i Proroci: Isusa, sina Josipova, iz Nazareta.”
Philip then found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and of whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46 Reče mu Natanael: “Iz Nazareta da može biti što dobro?” Kaže mu Filip: “Dođi i vidi.”
Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 Kad Isus ugleda gdje Natanael dolazi k njemu, reče za njega: “Evo istinitog Izraelca u kojem nema prijevare!”
When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit.”
48 Kaže mu Natanael: “Odakle me poznaješ?” Odgovori mu Isus: “Vidjeh te prije negoli te Filip pozva, dok si bio pod smokvom.”
Nathanael said to him, “How do yoʋ know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called yoʋ, when yoʋ were under the fig tree, I saw yoʋ.”
49 Nato će mu Natanael: “Učitelju, ti si Sin Božji! Ti kralj si Izraelov!”
Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, yoʋ are the Son of God! Yoʋ are the king of Israel!”
50 Odgovori mu Isus: “Stoga što ti rekoh: 'Vidjeh te pod smokvom', vjeruješ. I više ćeš od toga vidjeti!”
Jesus answered him, “Do yoʋ believe because I said to yoʋ, ‘I saw yoʋ under the fig tree’? Yoʋ will see greater things than these.”
51 I nadoda: “Zaista, zaista, kažem vam: gledat ćete otvoreno nebo i anđele Božje gdje uzlaze i silaze nad Sina Čovječjega.”
Then he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before long you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
