John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
ādau vāda āsīt sa ca vāda īśvarēṇa sārdhamāsīt sa vādaḥ svayamīśvara ēva|
2 This man was in the beginning with God.
sa ādāvīśvarēṇa sahāsīt|
3 All things came to be through him, and apart from him not even one thing came to be that has come to be.
tēna sarvvaṁ vastu sasr̥jē sarvvēṣu sr̥ṣṭavastuṣu kimapi vastu tēnāsr̥ṣṭaṁ nāsti|
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
sa jīvanasyākāraḥ, tacca jīvanaṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ jyōtiḥ
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
tajjyōtirandhakārē pracakāśē kintvandhakārastanna jagrāha|
6 A man came to be who was sent from God, his name was John.
yōhan nāmaka ēkō manuja īśvarēṇa prēṣayāñcakrē|
7 This man came for testimony so that he might testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.
tadvārā yathā sarvvē viśvasanti tadarthaṁ sa tajjyōtiṣi pramāṇaṁ dātuṁ sākṣisvarūpō bhūtvāgamat,
8 That man was not the light, but that he might testify about the light.
sa svayaṁ tajjyōti rna kintu tajjyōtiṣi pramāṇaṁ dātumāgamat|
9 He was the true light coming into the world that enlightens every man.
jagatyāgatya yaḥ sarvvamanujēbhyō dīptiṁ dadāti tadēva satyajyōtiḥ|
10 He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, and the world knew him not.
sa yajjagadasr̥jat tanmadya ēva sa āsīt kintu jagatō lōkāstaṁ nājānan|
11 He came to his own, and his own did not accept him.
nijādhikāraṁ sa āgacchat kintu prajāstaṁ nāgr̥hlan|
12 But as many as did accept him, to them he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name,
tathāpi yē yē tamagr̥hlan arthāt tasya nāmni vyaśvasan tēbhya īśvarasya putrā bhavitum adhikāram adadāt|
13 who were begotten, not from blood, nor from a will of flesh, nor from a will of man, but from God.
tēṣāṁ janiḥ śōṇitānna śārīrikābhilāṣānna mānavānāmicchātō na kintvīśvarādabhavat|
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. And we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
sa vādō manuṣyarūpēṇāvatīryya satyatānugrahābhyāṁ paripūrṇaḥ san sārdham asmābhi rnyavasat tataḥ pituradvitīyaputrasya yōgyō yō mahimā taṁ mahimānaṁ tasyāpaśyāma|
15 John testified about him, and cried out, saying, This was he of whom I said, He who comes after me came to be before me, because he was before me.
tatō yōhanapi pracāryya sākṣyamidaṁ dattavān yō mama paścād āgamiṣyati sa mattō gurutaraḥ; yatō matpūrvvaṁ sa vidyamāna āsīt; yadartham ahaṁ sākṣyamidam adāṁ sa ēṣaḥ|
16 And from his fullness we all received, even grace for grace.
aparañca tasya pūrṇatāyā vayaṁ sarvvē kramaśaḥ kramaśōnugrahaṁ prāptāḥ|
17 Because the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came to be through Jesus Christ.
mūsādvārā vyavasthā dattā kintvanugrahaḥ satyatvañca yīśukhrīṣṭadvārā samupātiṣṭhatāṁ|
18 No man has ever seen God. The only begotten Son, being in the bosom of the Father, that man reported him.
kōpi manuja īśvaraṁ kadāpi nāpaśyat kintu pituḥ krōḍasthō'dvitīyaḥ putrastaṁ prakāśayat|
19 And this is the testimony of John when the Jews sent forth priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they might ask him, Who are thou?
tvaṁ kaḥ? iti vākyaṁ prēṣṭuṁ yadā yihūdīyalōkā yājakān lēvilōkāṁśca yirūśālamō yōhanaḥ samīpē prēṣayāmāsuḥ,
20 And he confessed, and did not deny, and confessed, I am not the Christ.
tadā sa svīkr̥tavān nāpahnūtavān nāham abhiṣikta ityaṅgīkr̥tavān|
21 And they asked him, What therefore, are thou Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
tadā tē'pr̥cchan tarhi kō bhavān? kiṁ ēliyaḥ? sōvadat na; tatastē'pr̥cchan tarhi bhavān sa bhaviṣyadvādī? sōvadat nāhaṁ saḥ|
22 They said therefore to him, Who are thou, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do thou say about thyself?
tadā tē'pr̥cchan tarhi bhavān kaḥ? vayaṁ gatvā prērakān tvayi kiṁ vakṣyāmaḥ? svasmin kiṁ vadasi?
23 He said, I am the voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, just as the prophet Isaiah said.
tadā sōvadat| paramēśasya panthānaṁ pariṣkuruta sarvvataḥ| itīdaṁ prāntarē vākyaṁ vadataḥ kasyacidravaḥ| kathāmimāṁ yasmin yiśayiyō bhaviṣyadvādī likhitavān sōham|
24 And those who were sent were from the Pharisees.
yē prēṣitāstē phirūśilōkāḥ|
25 And they asked him, and said to him, Why therefore do thou immerse if thou are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?
tadā tē'pr̥cchan yadi nābhiṣiktōsi ēliyōsi na sa bhaviṣyadvādyapi nāsi ca, tarhi lōkān majjayasi kutaḥ?
26 John answered them, saying, I immerse in water, but amidst you stands him whom ye know not.
tatō yōhan pratyavōcat, tōyē'haṁ majjayāmīti satyaṁ kintu yaṁ yūyaṁ na jānītha tādr̥śa ēkō janō yuṣmākaṁ madhya upatiṣṭhati|
27 He is the man who comes after me, who has become before me, of whom I am not worthy that I might loosen the strap of his shoe.
sa matpaścād āgatōpi matpūrvvaṁ varttamāna āsīt tasya pādukābandhanaṁ mōcayitumapi nāhaṁ yōgyōsmi|
28 These things occurred in Bethany beyond the Jordan where John was immersing.
yarddananadyāḥ pārasthabaithabārāyāṁ yasminsthānē yōhanamajjayat tasmina sthānē sarvvamētad aghaṭata|
29 On the morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and he says, Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
parē'hani yōhan svanikaṭamāgacchantaṁ yiśuṁ vilōkya prāvōcat jagataḥ pāpamōcakam īśvarasya mēṣaśāvakaṁ paśyata|
30 This is he about whom I said, After me comes a man who has become before me, because he was before me.
yō mama paścādāgamiṣyati sa mattō gurutaraḥ, yatō hētōrmatpūrvvaṁ sō'varttata yasminnahaṁ kathāmimāṁ kathitavān sa ēvāyaṁ|
31 And I had not known him, but that he would be made known to Israel. Because of this I came immersing in water.
aparaṁ nāhamēnaṁ pratyabhijñātavān kintu isrāyēllōkā ēnaṁ yathā paricinvanti tadabhiprāyēṇāhaṁ jalē majjayitumāgaccham|
32 And John testified, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him.
punaśca yōhanaparamēkaṁ pramāṇaṁ datvā kathitavān vihāyasaḥ kapōtavad avatarantamātmānam asyōparyyavatiṣṭhantaṁ ca dr̥ṣṭavānaham|
33 And I had not known him. But he who sent me to immerse in water, he said to me, Upon whomever thou will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, this is he who immerses in the Holy Spirit.
nāhamēnaṁ pratyabhijñātavān iti satyaṁ kintu yō jalē majjayituṁ māṁ prairayat sa ēvēmāṁ kathāmakathayat yasyōparyyātmānam avatarantam avatiṣṭhantañca drakṣayasi saēva pavitrē ātmani majjayiṣyati|
34 And I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.
avastannirīkṣyāyam īśvarasya tanaya iti pramāṇaṁ dadāmi|
35 Again on the morrow John stood, and two of his disciples.
parē'hani yōhan dvābhyāṁ śiṣyābhyāṁ sārddhēṁ tiṣṭhan
36 And having looked upon Jesus walking, he says, Behold, the Lamb of God!
yiśuṁ gacchantaṁ vilōkya gaditavān, īśvarasya mēṣaśāvakaṁ paśyataṁ|
37 And the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
imāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā dvau śiṣyau yīśōḥ paścād īyatuḥ|
38 And Jesus having turned, and having seen them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which says, being interpreted, Teacher), where do thou dwell?
tatō yīśuḥ parāvr̥tya tau paścād āgacchantau dr̥ṣṭvā pr̥ṣṭavān yuvāṁ kiṁ gavēśayathaḥ? tāvapr̥cchatāṁ hē rabbi arthāt hē gurō bhavān kutra tiṣṭhati?
39 He says to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and remained with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
tataḥ sōvādit ētya paśyataṁ| tatō divasasya tr̥tīyapraharasya gatatvāt tau taddinaṁ tasya saṅgē'sthātāṁ|
40 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard from John and who followed him.
yau dvau yōhanō vākyaṁ śrutvā yiśōḥ paścād āgamatāṁ tayōḥ śimōnpitarasya bhrātā āndriyaḥ
41 This man first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
sa itvā prathamaṁ nijasōdaraṁ śimōnaṁ sākṣātprāpya kathitavān vayaṁ khrīṣṭam arthāt abhiṣiktapuruṣaṁ sākṣātkr̥tavantaḥ|
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And having seen him, Jesus said, Thou are Simon the son of Jonah. Thou will be called Cephas (which is interpreted, Peter).
paścāt sa taṁ yiśōḥ samīpam ānayat| tadā yīśustaṁ dr̥ṣṭvāvadat tvaṁ yūnasaḥ putraḥ śimōn kintu tvannāmadhēyaṁ kaiphāḥ vā pitaraḥ arthāt prastarō bhaviṣyati|
43 On the morrow he wanted to go forth into Galilee, and he finds Philip. And Jesus says to him, Follow me.
parē'hani yīśau gālīlaṁ gantuṁ niścitacētasi sati philipanāmānaṁ janaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvōcat mama paścād āgaccha|
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
baitsaidānāmni yasmin grāmē pitarāndriyayōrvāsa āsīt tasmin grāmē tasya philipasya vasatirāsīt|
45 Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.
paścāt philipō nithanēlaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvadat mūsā vyavasthā granthē bhaviṣyadvādināṁ granthēṣu ca yasyākhyānaṁ likhitamāstē taṁ yūṣaphaḥ putraṁ nāsaratīyaṁ yīśuṁ sākṣād akārṣma vayaṁ|
46 And Nathanael said to him, What good can be from Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.
tadā nithanēl kathitavān nāsarannagarāta kiṁ kaściduttama utpantuṁ śaknōti? tataḥ philipō 'vōcat ētya paśya|
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says about him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit.
aparañca yīśuḥ svasya samīpaṁ tam āgacchantaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā vyāhr̥tavān, paśyāyaṁ niṣkapaṭaḥ satya isrāyēllōkaḥ|
48 Nathanael says to him, How do thou know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, being under the fig tree, I saw thee.
tataḥ sōvadad, bhavān māṁ kathaṁ pratyabhijānāti? yīśuravādīt philipasya āhvānāt pūrvvaṁ yadā tvamuḍumbarasya tarōrmūlē'sthāstadā tvāmadarśam|
49 Nathanael answered, and says to him, Rabbi, thou are the Son of God. Thou are the king of Israel.
nithanēl acakathat, hē gurō bhavān nitāntam īśvarasya putrōsi, bhavān isrāyēlvaṁśasya rājā|
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believe? Thou will see greater than these things.
tatō yīśu rvyāharat, tvāmuḍumbarasya pādapasya mūlē dr̥ṣṭavānāhaṁ mamaitasmādvākyāt kiṁ tvaṁ vyaśvasīḥ? ētasmādapyāścaryyāṇi kāryyāṇi drakṣyasi|
51 And he says to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, henceforth ye will see the heaven opened, and the agents of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
anyaccāvādīd yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, itaḥ paraṁ mōcitē mēghadvārē tasmānmanujasūnunā īśvarasya dūtagaṇam avarōhantamārōhantañca drakṣyatha|
