John 1
1 In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.
Adau vAda AsIt sa ca vAda IzvarENa sArdhamAsIt sa vAdaH svayamIzvara Eva|
2 He was in the beginning with God.
sa AdAvIzvarENa sahAsIt|
3 All things were made by him, and without him not one thing was made that now exists.
tEna sarvvaM vastu sasRjE sarvvESu sRSTavastuSu kimapi vastu tEnAsRSTaM nAsti|
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
sa jIvanasyAkAraH, tacca jIvanaM manuSyANAM jyOtiH
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehends it not.
tajjyOtirandhakArE pracakAzE kintvandhakArastanna jagrAha|
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
yOhan nAmaka EkO manuja IzvarENa prESayAnjcakrE|
7 This man came as a witness, to testify of the Light, that all through him might believe.
tadvArA yathA sarvvE vizvasanti tadarthaM sa tajjyOtiSi pramANaM dAtuM sAkSisvarUpO bhUtvAgamat,
8 He was not the Light; but he came to testify of the Light.
sa svayaM tajjyOti rna kintu tajjyOtiSi pramANaM dAtumAgamat|
9 He was the true Light, which, coming into the world, gives light to every man.
jagatyAgatya yaH sarvvamanujEbhyO dIptiM dadAti tadEva satyajyOtiH|
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
sa yajjagadasRjat tanmadya Eva sa AsIt kintu jagatO lOkAstaM nAjAnan|
11 He came to his own country, and his own people received him not.
nijAdhikAraM sa Agacchat kintu prajAstaM nAgRhlan|
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;
tathApi yE yE tamagRhlan arthAt tasya nAmni vyazvasan tEbhya Izvarasya putrA bhavitum adhikAram adadAt|
13 who were begotten, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
tESAM janiH zONitAnna zArIrikAbhilASAnna mAnavAnAmicchAtO na kintvIzvarAdabhavat|
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.
sa vAdO manuSyarUpENAvatIryya satyatAnugrahAbhyAM paripUrNaH san sArdham asmAbhi rnyavasat tataH pituradvitIyaputrasya yOgyO yO mahimA taM mahimAnaM tasyApazyAma|
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.
tatO yOhanapi pracAryya sAkSyamidaM dattavAn yO mama pazcAd AgamiSyati sa mattO gurutaraH; yatO matpUrvvaM sa vidyamAna AsIt; yadartham ahaM sAkSyamidam adAM sa ESaH|
16 And from his fullness have we all received, even grace for grace;
aparanjca tasya pUrNatAyA vayaM sarvvE kramazaH kramazOnugrahaM prAptAH|
17 for the law was given through Moses, but the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.
mUsAdvArA vyavasthA dattA kintvanugrahaH satyatvanjca yIzukhrISTadvArA samupAtiSThatAM|
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.
kOpi manuja IzvaraM kadApi nApazyat kintu pituH krOPasthO'dvitIyaH putrastaM prakAzayat|
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him: Who are you?
tvaM kaH? iti vAkyaM prESTuM yadA yihUdIyalOkA yAjakAn lEvilOkAMzca yirUzAlamO yOhanaH samIpE prESayAmAsuH,
20 And he confessed, and did not deny; and he confessed: I am not the Christ.
tadA sa svIkRtavAn nApahnUtavAn nAham abhiSikta ityaggIkRtavAn|
21 And they asked him: What then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No.
tadA tE'pRcchan tarhi kO bhavAn? kiM EliyaH? sOvadat na; tatastE'pRcchan tarhi bhavAn sa bhaviSyadvAdI? sOvadat nAhaM saH|
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?
tadA tE'pRcchan tarhi bhavAn kaH? vayaM gatvA prErakAn tvayi kiM vakSyAmaH? svasmin kiM vadasi?
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.
tadA sOvadat| paramEzasya panthAnaM pariSkuruta sarvvataH| itIdaM prAntarE vAkyaM vadataH kasyacidravaH| kathAmimAM yasmin yizayiyO bhaviSyadvAdI likhitavAn sOham|
24 And those who were sent were of the Pharisees;
yE prESitAstE phirUzilOkAH|
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?
tadA tE'pRcchan yadi nAbhiSiktOsi EliyOsi na sa bhaviSyadvAdyapi nAsi ca, tarhi lOkAn majjayasi kutaH?
26 John answered them, saying: I immerse in water; but there stands one among you whom you know not.
tatO yOhan pratyavOcat, tOyE'haM majjayAmIti satyaM kintu yaM yUyaM na jAnItha tAdRza EkO janO yuSmAkaM madhya upatiSThati|
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.
sa matpazcAd AgatOpi matpUrvvaM varttamAna AsIt tasya pAdukAbandhanaM mOcayitumapi nAhaM yOgyOsmi|
28 These things were done in Bethany, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
yarddananadyAH pArasthabaithabArAyAM yasminsthAnE yOhanamajjayat tasmina sthAnE sarvvamEtad aghaTata|
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.
parE'hani yOhan svanikaTamAgacchantaM yizuM vilOkya prAvOcat jagataH pApamOcakam Izvarasya mESazAvakaM pazyata|
30 This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is now before me, for he existed before me.
yO mama pazcAdAgamiSyati sa mattO gurutaraH, yatO hEtOrmatpUrvvaM sO'varttata yasminnahaM kathAmimAM kathitavAn sa EvAyaM|
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I have come immersing in water.
aparaM nAhamEnaM pratyabhijnjAtavAn kintu isrAyEllOkA EnaM yathA paricinvanti tadabhiprAyENAhaM jalE majjayitumAgaccham|
32 And John testified, saying: I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.
punazca yOhanaparamEkaM pramANaM datvA kathitavAn vihAyasaH kapOtavad avatarantamAtmAnam asyOparyyavatiSThantaM ca dRSTavAnaham|
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.
nAhamEnaM pratyabhijnjAtavAn iti satyaM kintu yO jalE majjayituM mAM prairayat sa EvEmAM kathAmakathayat yasyOparyyAtmAnam avatarantam avatiSThantanjca drakSayasi saEva pavitrE Atmani majjayiSyati|
34 And I saw, and do testify that this is the Son of God.
avastannirIkSyAyam Izvarasya tanaya iti pramANaM dadAmi|
35 Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples.
parE'hani yOhan dvAbhyAM ziSyAbhyAM sArddhEM tiSThan
36 And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said: Behold the Lamb of God.
yizuM gacchantaM vilOkya gaditavAn, Izvarasya mESazAvakaM pazyataM|
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
imAM kathAM zrutvA dvau ziSyau yIzOH pazcAd IyatuH|
38 And Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them:
tatO yIzuH parAvRtya tau pazcAd Agacchantau dRSTvA pRSTavAn yuvAM kiM gavEzayathaH? tAvapRcchatAM hE rabbi arthAt hE gurO bhavAn kutra tiSThati?
39 What do you seek? They said to him: Rabbi, (which, when translated, is called Teacher, ) where abidest thou?
tataH sOvAdit Etya pazyataM| tatO divasasya tRtIyapraharasya gatatvAt tau taddinaM tasya saggE'sthAtAM|
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.
yau dvau yOhanO vAkyaM zrutvA yizOH pazcAd AgamatAM tayOH zimOnpitarasya bhrAtA AndriyaH
41 One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
sa itvA prathamaM nijasOdaraM zimOnaM sAkSAtprApya kathitavAn vayaM khrISTam arthAt abhiSiktapuruSaM sAkSAtkRtavantaH|
42 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah; (which, when translated, is the Christ; )
pazcAt sa taM yizOH samIpam Anayat| tadA yIzustaM dRSTvAvadat tvaM yUnasaH putraH zimOn kintu tvannAmadhEyaM kaiphAH vA pitaraH arthAt prastarO bhaviSyati|
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).
parE'hani yIzau gAlIlaM gantuM nizcitacEtasi sati philipanAmAnaM janaM sAkSAtprApyAvOcat mama pazcAd Agaccha|
44 The day following, Jesus wished to go into Galilee; and he found Philip, and said to him: Follow me.
baitsaidAnAmni yasmin grAmE pitarAndriyayOrvAsa AsIt tasmin grAmE tasya philipasya vasatirAsIt|
45 Now, Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

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.
tadA nithanEl kathitavAn nAsarannagarAta kiM kazciduttama utpantuM zaknOti? tataH philipO 'vOcat Etya pazya|
47 And Nathaniel said to him: Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see.
aparanjca yIzuH svasya samIpaM tam AgacchantaM dRSTvA vyAhRtavAn, pazyAyaM niSkapaTaH satya isrAyEllOkaH|
48 Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said of him: Be hold, an Israelite in truth, in whom there is no guile.
tataH sOvadad, bhavAn mAM kathaM pratyabhijAnAti? yIzuravAdIt philipasya AhvAnAt pUrvvaM yadA tvamuPumbarasya tarOrmUlE'sthAstadA tvAmadarzam|
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.
nithanEl acakathat, hE gurO bhavAn nitAntam Izvarasya putrOsi, bhavAn isrAyElvaMzasya rAjA|
50 Nathaniel answered and said to him: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

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.
