John 1
1 In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.
Tamin’ ny voalohany ny Teny, ary ny Teny tao amin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Teny dia Andriamanitra.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Izy dia tao amin’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny voalohany.
3 All things were made by him, and without him not one thing was made that now exists.
Izy no nahariana ny zavatra rehetra; ary raha tsy Izy dia tsy nisy nahariana izao zavatra ary izao, na dia iray aza.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Izy no nisiam-piainana; ary ny fiainana no fanazavana ny olona.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehends it not.
Ary ny mazava dia mamirapiratra ao amin’ ny maizina; fa ny maizina tsy nandray azy.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Nisy lehilahy nirahin’ Andriamanitra, Jaona no anarany.
7 This man came as a witness, to testify of the Light, that all through him might believe.
Izy tonga ho vavolombelona hanambara ny Mazava, mba hinoan’ ny olona rehetra noho ny teniny.
8 He was not the Light; but he came to testify of the Light.
Tsy izy anefa no Ilay Mazava, fa tonga ho vavolombelona hanambara ny Mazava ihany izy.
9 He was the true Light, which, coming into the world, gives light to every man.
Tao ny tena Mazava Izay mahazava ny olona rehetra tonga amin’ izao tontolo izao.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Teo amin’ izao tontolo izao Izy, ary Izy no nanaovana izao tontolo izao, nefa izao tontolo izao tsy nahalala Azy.
11 He came to his own country, and his own people received him not.
Tonga tany amin’ ny Azy Izy, fa ny Azy tsy nandray Azy.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the privilege of becoming the children of God, even to those who believe on his name;
Fa izay rehetra nandray Azy dia nomeny hery ho tonga zanak’ Andriamanitra, dia izay mino ny anarany,
13 who were begotten, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
dia ireo izay tsy nateraky ny rà, na ny sitrapon’ ny nofo, na ny sitrapon’ ny olona, fa naterak’ Andriamanitra.
14 And the WORD became flesh, and tabernacled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and of truth.
Ary ny Teny dia tonga nofo ka nonina tamintsika; ary hitanay ny voninahiny, dia voninahitra miendrika ho an’ ny Lahitokana avy tamin’ ny Ray, sady feno fahasoavana sy fahamarinana.
15 John testified of him, and cried, saying: This is he of whom I said: He that comes after me, is now before me, for he existed before me.
Jaona nanambara Azy ka niantso hoe: Izy Ilay nolazaiko hoe: Izay avy
16 And from his fullness have we all received, even grace for grace;
Fa tamin’ ny fahafenoany no nandraisantsika rehetra, dia fahasoavana anampy fahasoavana.
17 for the law was given through Moses, but the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.
Fa ny lalàna dia nomena tamin’ ny alalan’ i Mosesy; fa ny fahasoavana sy ny fahamarinana kosa dia tonga tamin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy.
18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has revealed him.
Tsy nisy nahita an’ Andriamanitra na oviana na oviana; fa ny Zanakalahy Tokana, Izay ao an-tratran’ ny Ray, Izy no nanambara Azy.
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him: Who are you?
Ary izao no nambaran’ i Jaona, raha ny Jiosy naniraka mpisorona sy Levita avy tany Jerosalema hankany aminy mba hanontany azy hoe: Iza moa ianao?
20 And he confessed, and did not deny; and he confessed: I am not the Christ.
Ary nilaza marina izy ka tsy nandà, fa hoy ny filàzany: Tsy izaho no Kristy.
21 And they asked him: What then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No.
Ary izy ireo nanontany azy hoe: Ahoana ary? Elia va ianao? Fa hoy izy: Tsy izy aho. Ilay Mpaminany va ianao? Fa izy namaly hoe: Tsia.
22 They then said to him: Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what say you of yourself?
Dia hoy ireo taminy: Iza ary ianao? mba hitondranay valiny ho any amin’ izay naniraka anay. Lazainao ho iza moa ny tenanao?
23 He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord; as said the prophet Isaiah.
Dia hoy izy: Izaho dia feon’ ny miantso mafy any an-efitra hoe: Ataovy mahitsy ny lalan’ i Jehovah, araka izay nolazain’ Isaia mpaminany.
24 And those who were sent were of the Pharisees;
Ary iraka avy tamin’ ny Fariseo ireo.
25 and they asked him, and said to him: Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
Dia nanontany azy ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ary ianao no manao batisa raha tsy ianao no Kristy, na Elia, na Ilay Mpaminany?
26 John answered them, saying: I immerse in water; but there stands one among you whom you know not.
Jaona namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Izaho manao batisa amin’ ny rano; fa eto aminareo misy Anankiray Izay tsy fantatrareo,
27 He it is, who, though he comes after me, is now before me; the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
dia Ilay avy ao aoriako, ary tsy miendrika hamaha ny fehin-kapany aza aho.
28 These things were done in Bethany, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
Izany zavatra izany dia natao tany Betania any an-dafin’ i Jordana, izay nanaovan’ i Jaona batisa.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world.
Nony ampitso dia nahita an’ i Jesosy avy manatona azy Jaona, ka dia hoy izy: Indro ny Zanak’ ondrin’ Andriamanitra, Izay manaisotra ny fahotan’ izao tontolo izao!
30 This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is now before me, for he existed before me.
Izy Ilay nolazaiko hoe: Misy Lehilahy avy ao aoriako Izay efa tonga eo alohako, satria talohako Izy.
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I have come immersing in water.
Ary izaho tsy nahalala Azy; fa mba haseho amin’ ny Isiraely Izy, izany no nihaviako manao batisa amin’ ny rano.
32 And John testified, saying: I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.
Ary Jaona nanambara ka nanao hoe: Izaho nahita ny Fanahy midìna avy any an-danitra tahaka ny voro-mailala ka nitoetra teo amboniny.
33 And I knew him not; but he that sent me to immerse in water, said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is he that immerses in the Holy Spirit.
Ary izaho tsy nahalala Azy; fa Izay naniraka ahy hanao batisa amin’ ny rano no nilaza tamiko hoe: Izay ho hitanao idinan’ ny Fanahy sy itoerany, dia Izy no Mpanao batisa amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna.
34 And I saw, and do testify that this is the Son of God.
Ary nahita aho, ka dia nanambara fa Izy no Zanak’ Andriamanitra.
35 Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples.
Nony ampitson’ iny indray dia nijanona Jaona sy ny mpianany roa lahy;
36 And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said: Behold the Lamb of God.
ary nijery an’ i Jesosy nitsangantsangana izy ka nanao hoe: Indro ny Zanak’ ondrin’ Andriamanitra!
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Ary ireo mpianatra roa lahy ireo, rehefa nandre azy niteny, dia nanaraka an’ i Jesosy.
38 And Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them:
Ary Jesosy nitodika ka nahita azy manaraka, dia nanao taminy hoe: Inona no tadiavinareo? Ary hoy izy roa lahy taminy: Raby (izay atao hoe, raha adika, Mpampianatra ô), aiza Hianao no mitoetra?
39 What do you seek? They said to him: Rabbi, (which, when translated, is called Teacher, ) where abidest thou?
Hoy Izy taminy: Avia, fa ho hitanareo. Koa dia nandeha izy ka nahita izay nitoerany ary nitoetra teo aminy tamin’ izany andro izany; ary efa tokony ho ora fahafolo tamin’ izay.
40 He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.
Andrea, rahalahin’ i Simona Petera, no anankiray tamin’ izy roa lahy, izay nandre ny tenin’ i Jaona ka nanaraka an’ i Jesosy.
41 One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
Izy no nahita an’ i Simona rahalahiny aloha, dia hoy izy taminy: Efa nahita ny Mesia izahay (izay atso hoe, raha adika, ny Kristy).
42 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah; (which, when translated, is the Christ; )
Dia nitondra azy ho any amin’ i Jesosy izy. Ary nony nijery azy Jesosy, dia hoy Izy: Hianao no Simona, zanak’ i Jaona; ianao hatao hoe Kefasy (izay atao hoe, raha adika, Petera)
43 and he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said: You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Rock).
Nony ampitso dia te-hiala ho any Galilia Jesosy, ary nahita an’ i Filipo Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Manaraha Ahy.
44 The day following, Jesus wished to go into Galilee; and he found Philip, and said to him: Follow me.
Ary Filipo dia avy any Betsaida, tanànan’ i Andrea sy Petera.
45 Now, Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filipo kosa nahita an’ i Natanaela ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa hitanay Ilay nosoratan’ i Mosesy tao amin’ ny lalàna, sy nosoratan’ ny mpaminany, dia Jesosy, zanak’ i Josefa, avy any Nazareta.
46 Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
Ary hoy Natanaela taminy: Moa mba misy zava-tsoa va avy any Nazareta? Dia hoy Filipo taminy: Andeha hizaha.
47 And Nathaniel said to him: Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see.
Jesosy nahita an’ i Natanaela avy manatona Azy, dia nilaza azy hoe: Indro ny tena Isiraelita tsy misy fitaka.
48 Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said of him: Be hold, an Israelite in truth, in whom there is no guile.
Hoy Natanaela taminy: Ahoana no ahafantaranao ahy? Dia namaly Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Fony tsy mbola niantso anao Filipo, dia hitako teo ambanin’ ny aviavy ianao.
49 Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you.
Dia namaly Natanaela ka nanao hoe: Raby ô, Hianao no Zanak’ Andriamanitra; Hianao no Mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
50 Nathaniel answered and said to him: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Moa ny nilazako taminao va fa hitako teo ambanin’ ny aviavy ianao no inoanao? Hahita zavatra lehibe noho izany ianao.
51 Jesus answered and said to him: Do you believe, because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree? You shall see greater things than these. And he said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, From this time you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Ho hitanareo ny lanitra misokatra sy ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra miakatra sy midìna eo ambonin’ ny Zanak’ olona.
