John 1
1 From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God.
Er penn-kentañ e oa ar Ger, hag ar Ger a oa gant Doue, hag ar Ger a oa Doue.
2 This Word was from the first in relation with God.
Er penn-kentañ e oa gant Doue.
3 All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.
An holl draoù a zo bet graet drezañ, ha netra eus ar pezh a zo bet graet, n'eo bet graet heptañ.
4 What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Ennañ e oa ar vuhez, hag ar vuhez a oa sklêrijenn an dud.
5 And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark.
Ar sklêrijenn he deus lugernet en deñvalijenn, hag an deñvalijenn n'he deus ket he degemeret.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Bez' e voe un den, anvet Yann, kaset a-berzh Doue.
7 He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.
Dont a reas da vezañ test, da reiñ testeni d'ar sklêrijenn, evit ma kredje an holl drezañ.
8 He himself was not the light: he was sent to give witness about the light.
Ne oa ket ar sklêrijenn, met kaset e oa da reiñ testeni d'ar sklêrijenn.
9 The true light, which gives light to every man, was then coming into the world.
Ar sklêrijenn wirion, an hini a sklaera pep den, a oa o tont er bed.
10 He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.
Er bed e oa, hag ar bed a zo bet graet gantañ; met ar bed n'en deus ket e anavezet.
11 He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts.
Deuet eo da gavout e re, hag e re n'o eus ket e zegemeret.
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:
Met d'an holl re o deus e zegemeret, en deus roet an droed da vezañ graet bugale da Zoue, da c'houzout eo, d'an holl re a gred en e anv,
13 Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.
ar re n'int ket bet ganet eus ar gwad, nag eus bolontez ar c'hig, nag eus bolontez an den, met eus Doue.
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.
Hag ar Ger a zo bet graet kig, hag en deus chomet en hon touez, leun a c'hras hag a wirionez, ha gwelet hon eus e c'hloar, ur gloar evel hini Mab nemetañ an Tad.
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.
Yann a roas testeni dezhañ, pa grias o lavarout: Hemañ eo an hini a lavaren diwar e benn: An hini a zeu war va lerc'h a zo dreiston, abalamour ma oa kentoc'h egedon.
16 From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace.
Ni holl hon eus resevet eus e leunder, ha gras evit gras.
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.
Rak al lezenn a zo bet roet dre Voizez, an drugarez hag ar wirionez a zo deuet dre Jezuz-Krist.
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.
Den n'en deus biskoazh gwelet Doue; ar Mab nemetañ a zo en askre an Tad, eo an hini en deus graet e anavezout.
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?
Setu amañ testeni Yann, pa gasas ar Yuzevien eus Jeruzalem beleien ha levited da c'houlenn outañ: Piv out-te?
20 He said quite openly and straightforwardly, I am not the Christ.
Disklêriañ a reas ha ne nac'has ket, disklêriañ a reas: N'on ket-me ar C'hrist.
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.
Hag e c'houlennjont outañ: Piv out eta? Bez' out Elia? Eñ a lavaras: N'on ket. Bez' out ar profed? Eñ a respontas: Nann.
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?
Int a lavaras eta dezhañ: Piv out-te? Evit ma roimp respont d'ar re o deus hon degaset. Petra a lavarez ac'hanout da-unan?
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.
Eñ a lavaras: Me eo mouezh an hini a gri el lec'h distro: Plaenit hent an Aotrou, evel m'en deus lavaret ar profed Izaia.
24 Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.
Ar re a oa bet kaset a oa farizianed.
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?
Goulenn a rejont outañ: Perak e vadezez, ma n'out nag ar C'hrist, nag Elia, nag ar profed?
26 John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;
Yann a respontas hag a lavaras dezho: Evidon-me, me a vadez en dour; met unan bennak a zo en ho touez, ha n'anavezit ket anezhañ.
27 It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.
Hennezh eo an hini a zeu war va lerc'h, [hag a zo dreiston]; ha n'on ket dellezek da zieren korreenn e votoù.
28 These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism.
Kement-mañ a c'hoarvezas e Betania, en tu all d'ar Jordan, e-lec'h ma vadeze Yann.
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!
An deiz war-lerc'h, Yann a welas Jezuz o tont d'e gavout, hag a lavaras: Setu Oan Doue, an hini a lam pec'hed ar bed.
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.
Eñ eo an hini e lavaren diwar e benn: Dont a ra war va lerc'h un den hag a zo dreiston, rak a-raok din e oa.
31 I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.
Evidon-me, n'anavezen ket anezhañ; met deuet on da vadeziñ en dour, evit ma vo disklêriet da Israel.
32 And John gave this witness, saying, I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and resting on him.
Yann a roas c'hoazh an testeni-mañ, o lavarout: Gwelet em eus ar Spered o tiskenn eus an neñv evel ur goulm, hag o tont warnañ.
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.
Evidon-me, n'anavezen ket anezhañ; met an hini en deus va c'haset da vadeziñ en dour, en deus lavaret din: An hini a weli ar Spered o tiskenn hag o chom warnañ, hennezh eo an hini a vadez er Spered-Santel.
34 This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.
Hag em eus gwelet, hag em eus roet testeni eo eñ Mab Doue.
35 The day after, John was there again with two of his disciples;
An deiz war-lerc'h, Yann a oa c'hoazh eno gant daou eus e ziskibien,
36 And looking at Jesus while he was walking he said, See, there is the Lamb of God!
hag o welout Jezuz a valee, e lavaras: Setu Oan Doue.
37 Hearing what he said, the two disciples went after Jesus.
An daou ziskibl, o vezañ e glevet o komz evel-se, a heulias Jezuz.
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?
Jezuz o vezañ distroet hag o welout e heulient anezhañ, a lavaras dezho: Petra a glaskit? Respont a rejont dezhañ: Rabbi (da lavarout eo Mestr), pelec'h e chomez?
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.
Eñ a lavaras dezho: Deuit ha gwelit. Mont a rejont, hag e weljont pelec'h e chome, hag e chomjont gantañ an deiz-se, rak war-dro an dekvet eur e oa.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.
Andrev, breur Simon-Pêr, a oa unan eus an daou o devoa klevet ar pezh en devoa lavaret Yann, hag o devoa heuliet Jezuz.
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).
Andrev a gavas da gentañ Simon e vreur, hag a lavaras dezhañ: Ni hon eus kavet ar Mesiaz (da lavarout eo ar C'hrist, an Eouliet).
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).
Hag e tegasas anezhañ da Jezuz. Jezuz, o vezañ sellet outañ, a lavaras dezhañ: Te eo Simon, mab Jona; te a vo galvet Kefaz (da lavarout eo Pêr).
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.
An deiz war-lerc'h, Jezuz a c'hoantaas mont e Galilea, hag e kavas Filip; lavarout a reas dezhañ: Heul ac'hanon.
44 Now Philip's town was Beth-saida, where Andrew and Peter came from.
Filip a oa eus Betsaida, kêr Andrev ha Pêr.
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.
Filip a gavas Natanael hag a lavaras dezhañ: Kavet hon eus an hini a zo bet skrivet diwar e benn gant Moizez el lezenn ha gant ar brofeded: Jezuz, mab Jozef, eus Nazared.
46 Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.
Natanael a lavaras dezhañ: Hag eus Nazared e c'hell dont un dra vat bennak? Filip a lavaras dezhañ: Deus ha gwel.
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.
Jezuz, o welout Natanael o tont d'e gavout, a lavaras diwar e benn: Setu ur gwir Israelad, ha n'eus ket a droidell ennañ.
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.
Natanael a lavaras dezhañ: A-belec'h ec'h anavezez ac'hanon? Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: A-raok ma c'halvas Filip ac'hanout, pa oas dindan ar wezenn-fiez, e welen ac'hanout.
49 Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!
Natanael a respontas dezhañ: Mestr, te eo Mab Doue, te eo roue Israel.
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.
Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: Abalamour ma em eus lavaret dit em boa da welet dindan ar wezenn-fiez, e kredez; te a welo traoù brasoc'h eget ar re-mañ.
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.
Lavarout a reas ivez dezhañ: E gwirionez, e gwirionez, me a lavar deoc'h: A-vremañ c'hwi a welo an neñv digor, hag aeled Doue o pignat hag o tiskenn a-us da Vab an den.
