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 īśvareṇa sārdhamāsīt sa vādaḥ svayamīśvara eva|
2 He was with God in the beginning.
sa ādāvīśvareṇa sahāsīt|
3 Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.
tena sarvvaṁ vastu sasṛje sarvveṣu sṛṣṭavastuṣu kimapi vastu tenāsṛṣṭaṁ nāsti|
4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
sa jīvanasyākāraḥ, tacca jīvanaṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ jyotiḥ
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
tajjyotirandhakāre pracakāśe kintvandhakārastanna jagrāha|
6 There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.
yohan nāmaka eko manuja īśvareṇa preṣayāñcakre|
7 He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.
tadvārā yathā sarvve viśvasanti tadarthaṁ sa tajjyotiṣi pramāṇaṁ dātuṁ sākṣisvarūpo bhūtvāgamat,
8 He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
sa svayaṁ tajjyoti rna kintu tajjyotiṣi pramāṇaṁ dātumāgamat|
9 The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.
jagatyāgatya yaḥ sarvvamanujebhyo dīptiṁ dadāti tadeva satyajyotiḥ|
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.
sa yajjagadasṛjat tanmadya eva sa āsīt kintu jagato lokāstaṁ nājānan|
11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
nijādhikāraṁ sa āgacchat kintu prajāstaṁ nāgṛhlan|
12 But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—
tathāpi ye ye tamagṛhlan arthāt tasya nāmni vyaśvasan tebhya īśvarasya putrā bhavitum adhikāram adadāt|
13 children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
teṣāṁ janiḥ śoṇitānna śārīrikābhilāṣānna mānavānāmicchāto na kintvīśvarādabhavat|
14 The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
sa vādo manuṣyarūpeṇāvatīryya satyatānugrahābhyāṁ paripūrṇaḥ san sārdham asmābhi rnyavasat tataḥ pituradvitīyaputrasya yogyo yo mahimā taṁ mahimānaṁ tasyāpaśyāma|
15 John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”
tato yohanapi pracāryya sākṣyamidaṁ dattavān yo mama paścād āgamiṣyati sa matto gurutaraḥ; yato matpūrvvaṁ sa vidyamāna āsīt; yadartham ahaṁ sākṣyamidam adāṁ sa eṣaḥ|
16 From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.
aparañca tasya pūrṇatāyā vayaṁ sarvve kramaśaḥ kramaśonugrahaṁ prāptāḥ|
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
mūsādvārā vyavasthā dattā kintvanugrahaḥ satyatvañca yīśukhrīṣṭadvārā samupātiṣṭhatāṁ|
18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.
kopi manuja īśvaraṁ kadāpi nāpaśyat kintu pituḥ kroḍastho'dvitīyaḥ putrastaṁ prakāśayat|
19 And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
tvaṁ kaḥ? iti vākyaṁ preṣṭuṁ yadā yihūdīyalokā yājakān levilokāṁśca yirūśālamo yohanaḥ samīpe preṣayāmāsuḥ,
20 He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”
tadā sa svīkṛtavān nāpahnūtavān nāham abhiṣikta ityaṅgīkṛtavān|
21 “Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
tadā te'pṛcchan tarhi ko bhavān? kiṁ eliyaḥ? sovadat na; tataste'pṛcchan tarhi bhavān sa bhaviṣyadvādī? sovadat nāhaṁ saḥ|
22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
tadā te'pṛcchan tarhi bhavān kaḥ? vayaṁ gatvā prerakān tvayi kiṁ vakṣyāmaḥ? svasmin kiṁ vadasi?
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
tadā sovadat| parameśasya panthānaṁ pariṣkuruta sarvvataḥ| itīdaṁ prāntare vākyaṁ vadataḥ kasyacidravaḥ| kathāmimāṁ yasmin yiśayiyo bhaviṣyadvādī likhitavān soham|
24 Then the Pharisees who had been sent
ye preṣitāste phirūśilokāḥ|
25 asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
tadā te'pṛcchan yadi nābhiṣiktosi eliyosi na sa bhaviṣyadvādyapi nāsi ca, tarhi lokān majjayasi kutaḥ?
26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
tato yohan pratyavocat, toye'haṁ majjayāmīti satyaṁ kintu yaṁ yūyaṁ na jānītha tādṛśa eko jano yuṣmākaṁ madhya upatiṣṭhati|
27 He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
sa matpaścād āgatopi matpūrvvaṁ varttamāna āsīt tasya pādukābandhanaṁ mocayitumapi nāhaṁ yogyosmi|
28 All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
yarddananadyāḥ pārasthabaithabārāyāṁ yasminsthāne yohanamajjayat tasmina sthāne sarvvametad aghaṭata|
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
pare'hani yohan svanikaṭamāgacchantaṁ yiśuṁ vilokya prāvocat jagataḥ pāpamocakam īśvarasya meṣaśāvakaṁ paśyata|
30 This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’
yo mama paścādāgamiṣyati sa matto gurutaraḥ, yato hetormatpūrvvaṁ so'varttata yasminnahaṁ kathāmimāṁ kathitavān sa evāyaṁ|
31 I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”
aparaṁ nāhamenaṁ pratyabhijñātavān kintu isrāyellokā enaṁ yathā paricinvanti tadabhiprāyeṇāhaṁ jale majjayitumāgaccham|
32 Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.
punaśca yohanaparamekaṁ pramāṇaṁ datvā kathitavān vihāyasaḥ kapotavad avatarantamātmānam asyoparyyavatiṣṭhantaṁ ca dṛṣṭavānaham|
33 I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
nāhamenaṁ pratyabhijñātavān iti satyaṁ kintu yo jale majjayituṁ māṁ prairayat sa evemāṁ kathāmakathayat yasyoparyyātmānam avatarantam avatiṣṭhantañca drakṣayasi saeva pavitre ātmani majjayiṣyati|
34 I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
avastannirīkṣyāyam īśvarasya tanaya iti pramāṇaṁ dadāmi|
35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
pare'hani yohan dvābhyāṁ śiṣyābhyāṁ sārddheṁ tiṣṭhan
36 When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
yiśuṁ gacchantaṁ vilokya gaditavān, īśvarasya meṣaśāvakaṁ paśyataṁ|
37 And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
imāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā dvau śiṣyau yīśoḥ paścād īyatuḥ|
38 Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”
tato yīśuḥ parāvṛtya tau paścād āgacchantau dṛṣṭvā pṛṣṭavān yuvāṁ kiṁ gaveśayathaḥ? tāvapṛcchatāṁ he rabbi arthāt he guro bhavān kutra tiṣṭhati?
39 “Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
tataḥ sovādit etya paśyataṁ| tato divasasya tṛtīyapraharasya gatatvāt tau taddinaṁ tasya saṅge'sthātāṁ|
40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.
yau dvau yohano vākyaṁ śrutvā yiśoḥ paścād āgamatāṁ tayoḥ śimonpitarasya bhrātā āndriyaḥ
41 He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).
sa itvā prathamaṁ nijasodaraṁ śimonaṁ sākṣātprāpya kathitavān vayaṁ khrīṣṭam arthāt abhiṣiktapuruṣaṁ sākṣātkṛtavantaḥ|
42 Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).
paścāt sa taṁ yiśoḥ samīpam ānayat| tadā yīśustaṁ dṛṣṭvāvadat tvaṁ yūnasaḥ putraḥ śimon kintu tvannāmadheyaṁ kaiphāḥ vā pitaraḥ arthāt prastaro bhaviṣyati|
43 The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”
pare'hani yīśau gālīlaṁ gantuṁ niścitacetasi sati philipanāmānaṁ janaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvocat mama paścād āgaccha|
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
baitsaidānāmni yasmin grāme pitarāndriyayorvāsa āsīt tasmin grāme tasya philipasya vasatirāsīt|
45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
paścāt philipo nithanelaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvadat mūsā vyavasthā granthe bhaviṣyadvādināṁ grantheṣu ca yasyākhyānaṁ likhitamāste taṁ yūṣaphaḥ putraṁ nāsaratīyaṁ yīśuṁ sākṣād akārṣma vayaṁ|
46 “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
tadā nithanel kathitavān nāsarannagarāta kiṁ kaściduttama utpantuṁ śaknoti? tataḥ philipo 'vocat etya paśya|
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”
aparañca yīśuḥ svasya samīpaṁ tam āgacchantaṁ dṛṣṭvā vyāhṛtavān, paśyāyaṁ niṣkapaṭaḥ satya isrāyellokaḥ|
48 “How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
tataḥ sovadad, bhavān māṁ kathaṁ pratyabhijānāti? yīśuravādīt philipasya āhvānāt pūrvvaṁ yadā tvamuḍumbarasya tarormūle'sthāstadā tvāmadarśam|
49 “Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
nithanel acakathat, he guro bhavān nitāntam īśvarasya putrosi, bhavān isrāyelvaṁśasya rājā|
50 Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.”
tato yīśu rvyāharat, tvāmuḍumbarasya pādapasya mūle dṛṣṭavānāhaṁ mamaitasmādvākyāt kiṁ tvaṁ vyaśvasīḥ? etasmādapyāścaryyāṇi kāryyāṇi drakṣyasi|
51 Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
anyaccāvādīd yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, itaḥ paraṁ mocite meghadvāre tasmānmanujasūnunā īśvarasya dūtagaṇam avarohantamārohantañca drakṣyatha|
