< John 1 >

1 In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
ཨཱདཽ ཝཱད ཨཱསཱིཏ྄ ས ཙ ཝཱད ཨཱིཤྭརེཎ སཱརྡྷམཱསཱིཏ྄ ས ཝཱདཿ སྭཡམཱིཤྭར ཨེཝ།
2 He was in the beginning with God.
ས ཨཱདཱཝཱིཤྭརེཎ སཧཱསཱིཏ྄།
3 All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being.
ཏེན སཪྻྭཾ ཝསྟུ སསྲྀཛེ སཪྻྭེཥུ སྲྀཥྚཝསྟུཥུ ཀིམཔི ཝསྟུ ཏེནཱསྲྀཥྚཾ ནཱསྟི།
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
ས ཛཱིཝནསྱཱཀཱརཿ, ཏཙྩ ཛཱིཝནཾ མནུཥྱཱཎཱཾ ཛྱོཏིཿ
5 And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.
ཏཛྫྱོཏིརནྡྷཀཱརེ པྲཙཀཱཤེ ཀིནྟྭནྡྷཀཱརསྟནྣ ཛགྲཱཧ།
6 There was a man sent from God, his name John.
ཡོཧན྄ ནཱམཀ ཨེཀོ མནུཛ ཨཱིཤྭརེཎ པྲེཥཡཱཉྩཀྲེ།
7 He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him.
ཏདྭཱརཱ ཡཐཱ སཪྻྭེ ཝིཤྭསནྟི ཏདརྠཾ ས ཏཛྫྱོཏིཥི པྲམཱཎཾ དཱཏུཾ སཱཀྵིསྭརཱུཔོ བྷཱུཏྭཱགམཏ྄,
8 He was not the light, but that he might witness concerning the light.
ས སྭཡཾ ཏཛྫྱོཏི རྣ ཀིནྟུ ཏཛྫྱོཏིཥི པྲམཱཎཾ དཱཏུམཱགམཏ྄།
9 The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.
ཛགཏྱཱགཏྱ ཡཿ སཪྻྭམནུཛེབྷྱོ དཱིཔྟིཾ དདཱཏི ཏདེཝ སཏྱཛྱོཏིཿ།
10 He was in the world, and the world had [its] being through him, and the world knew him not.
ས ཡཛྫགདསྲྀཛཏ྄ ཏནྨདྱ ཨེཝ ས ཨཱསཱིཏ྄ ཀིནྟུ ཛགཏོ ལོཀཱསྟཾ ནཱཛཱནན྄།
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not;
ནིཛཱདྷིཀཱརཾ ས ཨཱགཙྪཏ྄ ཀིནྟུ པྲཛཱསྟཾ ནཱགྲྀཧླན྄།
12 but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to be children of God, to those that believe on his name;
ཏཐཱཔི ཡེ ཡེ ཏམགྲྀཧླན྄ ཨརྠཱཏ྄ ཏསྱ ནཱམྣི ཝྱཤྭསན྄ ཏེབྷྱ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ པུཏྲཱ བྷཝིཏུམ྄ ཨདྷིཀཱརམ྄ ཨདདཱཏ྄།
13 who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of God.
ཏེཥཱཾ ཛནིཿ ཤོཎིཏཱནྣ ཤཱརཱིརིཀཱབྷིལཱཥཱནྣ མཱནཝཱནཱམིཙྪཱཏོ ན ཀིནྟྭཱིཤྭརཱདབྷཝཏ྄།
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;
ས ཝཱདོ མནུཥྱརཱུཔེཎཱཝཏཱིཪྻྱ སཏྱཏཱནུགྲཧཱབྷྱཱཾ པརིཔཱུརྞཿ སན྄ སཱརྡྷམ྄ ཨསྨཱབྷི རྣྱཝསཏ྄ ཏཏཿ པིཏུརདྭིཏཱིཡཔུཏྲསྱ ཡོགྱོ ཡོ མཧིམཱ ཏཾ མཧིམཱནཾ ཏསྱཱཔཤྱཱམ།
15 (John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me; )
ཏཏོ ཡོཧནཔི པྲཙཱཪྻྱ སཱཀྵྱམིདཾ དཏྟཝཱན྄ ཡོ མམ པཤྩཱད྄ ཨཱགམིཥྱཏི ས མཏྟོ གུརུཏརཿ; ཡཏོ མཏྤཱུཪྻྭཾ ས ཝིདྱམཱན ཨཱསཱིཏ྄; ཡདརྠམ྄ ཨཧཾ སཱཀྵྱམིདམ྄ ཨདཱཾ ས ཨེཥཿ།
16 for of his fulness we all have received, and grace upon grace.
ཨཔརཉྩ ཏསྱ པཱུརྞཏཱཡཱ ཝཡཾ སཪྻྭེ ཀྲམཤཿ ཀྲམཤོནུགྲཧཾ པྲཱཔྟཱཿ།
17 For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ.
མཱུསཱདྭཱརཱ ཝྱཝསྠཱ དཏྟཱ ཀིནྟྭནུགྲཧཿ སཏྱཏྭཉྩ ཡཱིཤུཁྲཱིཥྚདྭཱརཱ སམུཔཱཏིཥྛཏཱཾ།
18 No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
ཀོཔི མནུཛ ཨཱིཤྭརཾ ཀདཱཔི ནཱཔཤྱཏ྄ ཀིནྟུ པིཏུཿ ཀྲོཌསྠོ྅དྭིཏཱིཡཿ པུཏྲསྟཾ པྲཀཱཤཡཏ྄།
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou?
ཏྭཾ ཀཿ? ཨིཏི ཝཱཀྱཾ པྲེཥྚུཾ ཡདཱ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀཱ ཡཱཛཀཱན྄ ལེཝིལོཀཱཾཤྩ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམོ ཡོཧནཿ སམཱིཔེ པྲེཥཡཱམཱསུཿ,
20 And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am not the Christ.
ཏདཱ ས སྭཱིཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄ ནཱཔཧྣཱུཏཝཱན྄ ནཱཧམ྄ ཨབྷིཥིཀྟ ཨིཏྱངྒཱིཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄།
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
ཏདཱ ཏེ྅པྲྀཙྪན྄ ཏརྷི ཀོ བྷཝཱན྄? ཀིཾ ཨེལིཡཿ? སོཝདཏ྄ ན; ཏཏསྟེ྅པྲྀཙྪན྄ ཏརྷི བྷཝཱན྄ ས བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདཱི? སོཝདཏ྄ ནཱཧཾ སཿ།
22 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
ཏདཱ ཏེ྅པྲྀཙྪན྄ ཏརྷི བྷཝཱན྄ ཀཿ? ཝཡཾ གཏྭཱ པྲེརཀཱན྄ ཏྭཡི ཀིཾ ཝཀྵྱཱམཿ? སྭསྨིན྄ ཀིཾ ཝདསི?
23 He said, I [am] [the] voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the path of [the] Lord, as said Esaias the prophet.
ཏདཱ སོཝདཏ྄། པརམེཤསྱ པནྠཱནཾ པརིཥྐུརུཏ སཪྻྭཏཿ། ཨིཏཱིདཾ པྲཱནྟརེ ཝཱཀྱཾ ཝདཏཿ ཀསྱཙིདྲཝཿ། ཀཐཱམིམཱཾ ཡསྨིན྄ ཡིཤཡིཡོ བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདཱི ལིཁིཏཝཱན྄ སོཧམ྄།
24 And they were sent from among the Pharisees.
ཡེ པྲེཥིཏཱསྟེ ཕིརཱུཤིལོཀཱཿ།
25 And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
ཏདཱ ཏེ྅པྲྀཙྪན྄ ཡདི ནཱབྷིཥིཀྟོསི ཨེལིཡོསི ན ས བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདྱཔི ནཱསི ཙ, ཏརྷི ལོཀཱན྄ མཛྫཡསི ཀུཏཿ?
26 John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,
ཏཏོ ཡོཧན྄ པྲཏྱཝོཙཏ྄, ཏོཡེ྅ཧཾ མཛྫཡཱམཱིཏི སཏྱཾ ཀིནྟུ ཡཾ ཡཱུཡཾ ན ཛཱནཱིཐ ཏཱདྲྀཤ ཨེཀོ ཛནོ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ མདྷྱ ཨུཔཏིཥྛཏི།
27 he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose.
ས མཏྤཤྩཱད྄ ཨཱགཏོཔི མཏྤཱུཪྻྭཾ ཝརྟྟམཱན ཨཱསཱིཏ྄ ཏསྱ པཱདུཀཱབནྡྷནཾ མོཙཡིཏུམཔི ནཱཧཾ ཡོགྱོསྨི།
28 These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.
ཡརྡྡནནདྱཱཿ པཱརསྠབཻཐབཱརཱཡཱཾ ཡསྨིནྶྠཱནེ ཡོཧནམཛྫཡཏ྄ ཏསྨིན སྠཱནེ སཪྻྭམེཏད྄ ཨགྷཊཏ།
29 On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
པརེ྅ཧནི ཡོཧན྄ སྭནིཀཊམཱགཙྪནྟཾ ཡིཤུཾ ཝིལོཀྱ པྲཱཝོཙཏ྄ ཛགཏཿ པཱཔམོཙཀམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ མེཥཤཱཝཀཾ པཤྱཏ།
30 He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he was before me;
ཡོ མམ པཤྩཱདཱགམིཥྱཏི ས མཏྟོ གུརུཏརཿ, ཡཏོ ཧེཏོརྨཏྤཱུཪྻྭཾ སོ྅ཝརྟྟཏ ཡསྨིནྣཧཾ ཀཐཱམིམཱཾ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ས ཨེཝཱཡཾ།
31 and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.
ཨཔརཾ ནཱཧམེནཾ པྲཏྱབྷིཛྙཱཏཝཱན྄ ཀིནྟུ ཨིསྲཱཡེལློཀཱ ཨེནཾ ཡཐཱ པརིཙིནྭནྟི ཏདབྷིཔྲཱཡེཎཱཧཾ ཛལེ མཛྫཡིཏུམཱགཙྪམ྄།
32 And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
པུནཤྩ ཡོཧནཔརམེཀཾ པྲམཱཎཾ དཏྭཱ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཝིཧཱཡསཿ ཀཔོཏཝད྄ ཨཝཏརནྟམཱཏྨཱནམ྄ ཨསྱོཔཪྻྱཝཏིཥྛནྟཾ ཙ དྲྀཥྚཝཱནཧམ྄།
33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, he said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with [the] Holy Spirit.
ནཱཧམེནཾ པྲཏྱབྷིཛྙཱཏཝཱན྄ ཨིཏི སཏྱཾ ཀིནྟུ ཡོ ཛལེ མཛྫཡིཏུཾ མཱཾ པྲཻརཡཏ྄ ས ཨེཝེམཱཾ ཀཐཱམཀཐཡཏ྄ ཡསྱོཔཪྻྱཱཏྨཱནམ྄ ཨཝཏརནྟམ྄ ཨཝཏིཥྛནྟཉྩ དྲཀྵཡསི སཨེཝ པཝིཏྲེ ཨཱཏྨནི མཛྫཡིཥྱཏི།
34 And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.
ཨཝསྟནྣིརཱིཀྵྱཱཡམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ ཏནཡ ཨིཏི པྲམཱཎཾ དདཱམི།
35 Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples.
པརེ྅ཧནི ཡོཧན྄ དྭཱབྷྱཱཾ ཤིཥྱཱབྷྱཱཾ སཱརྡྡྷེཾ ཏིཥྛན྄
36 And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.
ཡིཤུཾ གཙྪནྟཾ ཝིལོཀྱ གདིཏཝཱན྄, ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ མེཥཤཱཝཀཾ པཤྱཏཾ།
37 And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus.
ཨིམཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ དྭཽ ཤིཥྱཽ ཡཱིཤོཿ པཤྩཱད྄ ཨཱིཡཏུཿ།
38 But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou?
ཏཏོ ཡཱིཤུཿ པརཱཝྲྀཏྱ ཏཽ པཤྩཱད྄ ཨཱགཙྪནྟཽ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ པྲྀཥྚཝཱན྄ ཡུཝཱཾ ཀིཾ གཝེཤཡཐཿ? ཏཱཝཔྲྀཙྪཏཱཾ ཧེ རབྦི ཨརྠཱཏ྄ ཧེ གུརོ བྷཝཱན྄ ཀུཏྲ ཏིཥྛཏི?
39 He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
ཏཏཿ སོཝཱདིཏ྄ ཨེཏྱ པཤྱཏཾ། ཏཏོ དིཝསསྱ ཏྲྀཏཱིཡཔྲཧརསྱ གཏཏྭཱཏ྄ ཏཽ ཏདྡིནཾ ཏསྱ སངྒེ྅སྠཱཏཱཾ།
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard [this] from John and followed him.
ཡཽ དྭཽ ཡོཧནོ ཝཱཀྱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཡིཤོཿ པཤྩཱད྄ ཨཱགམཏཱཾ ཏཡོཿ ཤིམོནྤིཏརསྱ བྷྲཱཏཱ ཨཱནྡྲིཡཿ
41 He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).
ས ཨིཏྭཱ པྲཐམཾ ནིཛསོདརཾ ཤིམོནཾ སཱཀྵཱཏྤྲཱཔྱ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཝཡཾ ཁྲཱིཥྚམ྄ ཨརྠཱཏ྄ ཨབྷིཥིཀྟཔུརུཥཾ སཱཀྵཱཏྐྲྀཏཝནྟཿ།
42 And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).
པཤྩཱཏ྄ ས ཏཾ ཡིཤོཿ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨཱནཡཏ྄། ཏདཱ ཡཱིཤུསྟཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱཝདཏ྄ ཏྭཾ ཡཱུནསཿ པུཏྲཿ ཤིམོན྄ ཀིནྟུ ཏྭནྣཱམདྷེཡཾ ཀཻཕཱཿ ཝཱ པིཏརཿ ཨརྠཱཏ྄ པྲསྟརོ བྷཝིཥྱཏི།
43 On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.
པརེ྅ཧནི ཡཱིཤཽ གཱལཱིལཾ གནྟུཾ ནིཤྩིཏཙེཏསི སཏི ཕིལིཔནཱམཱནཾ ཛནཾ སཱཀྵཱཏྤྲཱཔྱཱཝོཙཏ྄ མམ པཤྩཱད྄ ཨཱགཙྪ།
44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
བཻཏྶཻདཱནཱམྣི ཡསྨིན྄ གྲཱམེ པིཏརཱནྡྲིཡཡོཪྻཱས ཨཱསཱིཏ྄ ཏསྨིན྄ གྲཱམེ ཏསྱ ཕིལིཔསྱ ཝསཏིརཱསཱིཏ྄།
45 Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.
པཤྩཱཏ྄ ཕིལིཔོ ནིཐནེལཾ སཱཀྵཱཏྤྲཱཔྱཱཝདཏ྄ མཱུསཱ ཝྱཝསྠཱ གྲནྠེ བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདིནཱཾ གྲནྠེཥུ ཙ ཡསྱཱཁྱཱནཾ ལིཁིཏམཱསྟེ ཏཾ ཡཱུཥཕཿ པུཏྲཾ ནཱསརཏཱིཡཾ ཡཱིཤུཾ སཱཀྵཱད྄ ཨཀཱརྵྨ ཝཡཾ།
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.
ཏདཱ ནིཐནེལ྄ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ནཱསརནྣགརཱཏ ཀིཾ ཀཤྩིདུཏྟམ ཨུཏྤནྟུཾ ཤཀྣོཏི? ཏཏཿ ཕིལིཔོ ྅ཝོཙཏ྄ ཨེཏྱ པཤྱ།
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold [one] truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile.
ཨཔརཉྩ ཡཱིཤུཿ སྭསྱ སམཱིཔཾ ཏམ྄ ཨཱགཙྪནྟཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ ཝྱཱཧྲྀཏཝཱན྄, པཤྱཱཡཾ ནིཥྐཔཊཿ སཏྱ ཨིསྲཱཡེལློཀཿ།
48 Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
ཏཏཿ སོཝདད྄, བྷཝཱན྄ མཱཾ ཀཐཾ པྲཏྱབྷིཛཱནཱཏི? ཡཱིཤུརཝཱདཱིཏ྄ ཕིལིཔསྱ ཨཱཧྭཱནཱཏ྄ པཱུཪྻྭཾ ཡདཱ ཏྭམུཌུམྦརསྱ ཏརོརྨཱུལེ྅སྠཱསྟདཱ ཏྭཱམདརྴམ྄།
49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.
ནིཐནེལ྄ ཨཙཀཐཏ྄, ཧེ གུརོ བྷཝཱན྄ ནིཏཱནྟམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ པུཏྲོསི, བྷཝཱན྄ ཨིསྲཱཡེལྭཾཤསྱ རཱཛཱ།
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
ཏཏོ ཡཱིཤུ ཪྻྱཱཧརཏ྄, ཏྭཱམུཌུམྦརསྱ པཱདཔསྱ མཱུལེ དྲྀཥྚཝཱནཱཧཾ མམཻཏསྨཱདྭཱཀྱཱཏ྄ ཀིཾ ཏྭཾ ཝྱཤྭསཱིཿ? ཨེཏསྨཱདཔྱཱཤྩཪྻྱཱཎི ཀཱཪྻྱཱཎི དྲཀྵྱསི།
51 And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
ཨནྱཙྩཱཝཱདཱིད྄ ཡུཥྨཱནཧཾ ཡཐཱརྠཾ ཝདཱམི, ཨིཏཿ པརཾ མོཙིཏེ མེགྷདྭཱརེ ཏསྨཱནྨནུཛསཱུནུནཱ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ དཱུཏགཎམ྄ ཨཝརོཧནྟམཱརོཧནྟཉྩ དྲཀྵྱཐ།
