John 1
1 From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God.
सुरुमा वचन हुनुहुन्थ्यो । वचन परमेश्वरसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो । अनि वचन नै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
2 This Word was from the first in relation with God.
उहाँ सुरुदेखि नै परमेश्वरसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
3 All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.
सबै थोकहरू उहाँद्वारा बनिए, र बनिएको कुनै पनि थोक उहाँविना बनिएन ।
4 What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men.
उहाँमा जीवन थियो, अनि त्यो जीवन सबै मानिसहरूका लागि ज्योति थियो ।
5 And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark.
ज्योति अन्धकारमा चम्किन्छ, अनि अन्धकारले यसलाई जितेन ।
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
परमेश्वरबाट पठाइएका एक जना मानिस थिए, जसको नाउँ यूहन्ना थियो ।
7 He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.
उहाँद्वारा सबैले विश्वास गरून् भनेर उहाँ ज्योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन साक्षीको रूपमा आउनुभयो ।
8 He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light.
यूहन्ना ज्योति थिएनन्, तर ज्योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन भनेर उनी आए ।
9 The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world.
उहाँ सबै मानिसहरूलाई ज्योति दिनुहुने र संसारमा आउनुहुने सत्य ज्योति हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
10 He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.
उहाँ संसारमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो र संसार उहाँद्वारा नै बनियो, तर संसारले उहाँलाई चिनेन ।
11 He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts.
उहाँ आफ्नैहरूकहाँ आउनुभयो, तर उहाँलाई आफ्नैहरूले स्वीकार गरेनन् ।
12 To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God — that is, to those who had faith in his name:
तर जतिले उहाँलाई स्वीकार गरे अर्थात् उहाँको नाउँमा विश्वास गरे उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई परमेश्वरका सन्तानहरू हुने अधिकार दिनुभयो ।
13 Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.
यिनीहरू न रगतले, न शारीरिक इच्छाअनुसार, न मानिसको इच्छाअनुसार नै जन्मेका थिए, तर परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेका थिए ।
14 And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory — such glory as is given to an only son by his father — saw it to be true and full of grace.
अनि वचन देहधारी हुनुभयो र हाम्रा बिचमा बास गर्नुभयो । हामीले पिताबाट आउनुभएका एक मात्रको जस्तो अर्थात् अनुग्रह र सत्यताले पूर्ण महिमा देख्यौँ ।
15 John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.
यूहन्नाले उहाँको बारेमा गवाही दिए, र ठुलो सोरले यसो भने, “मपछि आउनुहुने मभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँ मभन्दा अगिदेखि नै हुनुहुन्छ भनी मैले भनेको व्यक्ति उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
16 From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace.
किनकि उहाँको पूर्णताबाट हामी सबैले अनुग्रहमाथि अनुग्रह पाएका छौँ ।
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.
किनकि व्यवस्था मोशाद्वारा दिइयो । अनुग्रह र सत्यता येशू ख्रीष्टद्वारा आयो ।
18 No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.
कसैले पनि परमेश्वरलाई कहिल्यै देखेको छैन । पिताको छातीमा अडेस लाग्नुहुने एक मात्र परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई चिनाउनुभएको छ ।
19 And this is the witness of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him with the question, Who are you?
यहूदीहरूले यरूशलेमबाट पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई “तिमी को हौ?” भनी सोध्न पठाउँदा यूहन्नाको गवाही यही हो ।
20 He said quite openly and straightforwardly, I am not the Christ.
उनले खुला भएर भने, र इन्कार गरेनन्, तर जवाफ दिए, “म ख्रीष्ट होइनँ ।”
21 And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.
त्यसकारण, तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “त्यसो भए तिमी को हौ त? के तिमी एलिया हौ?” उनले भने, “होइनँ ।” तिनीहरूले भने, “के तिमी अगमवक्ता हौ?” उनले जवाफ दिए, “होइनँ ।”
22 So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?
तब तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “तिमी को हौ, ताकि हामीलाई पठाउनेहरूलाई हामीले जवाफ दिन सकौँ? तिमी आफ्नै बारेमा के भन्छौ?”
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste land, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
उनले भने, “म मरुभूमिमा कराइरहेको एउटा आवाज हुँ । ‘परमप्रभुको निम्ति बाटो सोझो बनाओ’ जस्तो यशैया अगमवक्ताले भने ।”
24 Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.
ती पठाइएकाहरू फरिसीहरूबाटका थिए ।
25 And they put this question to him, saying, Why then are you giving baptism if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet?
तिनीहरूले उनलाई सोधे र भने, “तिमी न ख्रीष्ट, न एलिया, न अगमवक्ता नै हौ भने किन बप्तिस्मा दिन्छौ?”
26 John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;
अनि यूहन्नाले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर जवाफ दिए, “म पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिन्छु । तर तिमीहरूका माझमा तिमीहरूले नचिनेको कोही खडा हुनुहुन्छ,
27 It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.
उहाँ जो मपछि आउनुहुन्छ, म उहाँको जुत्ताको फित्ता खोल्न लायकको छैनँ ।”
28 These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism.
यर्दनको पारिपट्टि बेथानियामा यी कुराहरू गरिएका थिए, जहाँ यूहन्नाले बप्तिस्मा दिइरहेका थिए ।
29 The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
अर्को दिन यूहन्नाले येशू आफूकहाँ आइरहनुभएको देखे र भने, “हेर, संसारको पाप उठाइलानुहुने परमेश्वरका थुमा!
30 This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.
मपछि आउनुहुने मभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँ मभन्दा अगिदेखि नै हुनुहुन्छ भनी मैले भनेको उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
31 I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.
म उहाँलाई चिन्दिनथेँ, तर उहाँलाई इस्राएलीहरूप्रति प्रकट गराउन सकियोस् भनी म पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिँदै आएँ ।”
32 And John gave this witness, saying, I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and resting on him.
यूहन्नाले यसरी गवाही दिए, “मैले पवित्र आत्मा स्वर्गबाट ढुकुरझैँ ओर्लिरहनुभएको र उहाँमाथि बस्नुभएको देखेँ ।
33 I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.
मैले उहाँलाई चिन्दिनथेँ, तर पानीमा बप्तिस्मा दिन पठाउनुहुनेले मलाई भन्नुभयो, ‘तिमीले जसमाथि पवित्र आत्मा ओर्लिरहनुभएको र उहाँमाथि रहनुभएको देख्छौ, पवित्र आत्माले बप्तिस्मा दिनुहुने उहाँले नै हुनुहुन्छ ।’
34 This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.
मैले देखेको, र उहाँ नै परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ भनेर गवाही दिएको छु ।”
35 The day after, John was there again with two of his disciples;
फेरि अर्को दिन यूहन्ना आफ्ना दुई जना चेलासँग उभिरहँदा,
36 And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!
तिनीहरूले येशू त्यही बाटो भएर हिँडिरहनुभएको देखे, र यूहन्नाले भने, “हेर, परमेश्वरका थुमा!”
37 Hearing what he said, the two disciples went after Jesus.
यी दुई चेलाले यूहन्नाले यसो भनेका सुने, र तिनीहरूले येशूलाई पछ्याए ।
38 And Jesus, turning round, saw them coming after him and said to them, What are you looking for? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, Master), where are you living?
तब येशूले तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पछ्याइरहेका देख्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू के चाहन्छौ?” तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिए, “रब्बी (जसको अर्थ हो, गुरु), तपाईं कहाँ बस्दै हुनुहुन्छ?”
39 He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.
उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “आऊ अनि देख्छौ ।” तब उनीहरू आए र उहाँ कहाँ बसिरहनुभएको थियो भनी देखे । त्यस दिन तिनीहरू उहाँसँगै बसे, किनभने दसौँ पहर हुन लागेको थियो ।
40 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.
यूहन्नाले भनेको सुन्ने र येशूलाई पछ्याउनेहरू यी दुई जनामध्ये एक जना सिमोन पत्रुसका भाइ अन्द्रियास थिए ।
41 Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! (which is to say, the Christ).
अन्द्रियासले आफ्ना भाइ सिमोनलाई भेट्टाएर भने, “हामीले मसीह (जसलाई ख्रीष्ट भनिन्छ) लाई भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”
42 And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).
उनले आफ्ना भाइलाई येशूकहाँ ल्याए । अनि येशूले उनलाई हेर्नुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “तिमी यूहन्नाका छोरा सिमोन हौ । तिमीलाई केफास (जसको अर्थ पत्रुस हो ) भनिनेछ ।
43 The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.
अर्को दिन जब येशू गालीलतिर जान त्यस ठाउँलाई छोड्न चाहनुभयो, उहाँले फिलिपलाई भेट्नुभयो र उनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मलाई पछ्याऊ ।”
44 Now Philip's town was Beth-saida, where Andrew and Peter came from.
फिलिप बेथसेदाका थिए जुन अन्द्रियास र पत्रुसको सहर थियो ।
45 Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
फिलिपले नथानेललाई भेटे र उनलाई भने, “मोशाको व्यवस्थामा र अगमवक्ताहरूले लेखेका अर्थात् नासरतका योसेफका छोरो येशूलाई हामीले भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”
46 Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.
नथानेलले उनलाई भने, “के नासरतबाट कुनै असल कुरा आउन सक्छ र?” फिलिपले उनलाई भने, “आएर हेर!”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.
येशूले नथानेललाई आफूकहाँ आइरहेको देख्नुभयो र उनलाई उनको बारेमा भन्नुभयो, “हेर, कुनै छल नभएका एक इस्राएली!”
48 Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.
नथानेलले उहाँलाई भने, “तपाईं मलाई कसरी चिन्नुहुन्छ?” येशूले उनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “फिलिपले बोलाउनुभन्दा पहिले तिमी नेभाराको रुखमुनि हुँदा नै मैले तिमीलाई देखेँ ।”
49 Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!
नथानेलले जवाफ दिए, “रब्बी, तपाईं परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ! तपाईं इस्राएलका राजा हुनुहुन्छ!”
50 In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these.
येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “‘मैले तिमीलाई नेभाराको रुखमुनि देखेँ भनेको कारण, के तिमी मलाई विश्वास गर्छौ? तिमीले योभन्दा ठुला-ठुला कुराहरू देख्नेछौ ।”
51 And he said to him, Truly I say to you all, You will see heaven opening and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of man.
येशूले भन्नुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, “तिमीहरूले स्वर्ग उघ्रिएको, अनि परमेश्वरका स्वर्गदूतहरू मानिसका पुत्रमाथि ओर्लिरहेका र उक्लिरहेका देख्नेछौ ।”
