John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Alguses oli Sõna juba olemas. Sõna oli Jumala juures ja Sõna oli Jumal.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Alguses oli ta Jumala juures.
3 All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made.
Kõik on tekkinud tema kaudu; ilma temata ei ole tekkinud midagi.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Temas oli elu, see elu, mis on kõigi valgus.
5 And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Valgus paistab pimedusse ja pimedus ei ole seda kustutanud.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Jumal saatis mehe nimega Johannes.
7 This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him.
Ta tuli tunnistajana selgitama valgust, et kõik võiksid tema kaudu uskuda.
8 He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light.
Tema ise ei olnud valgus, vaid ta tuli valgusest tunnistama.
9 That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.
Tõeline valgus oli tulemas maailma, et valgustada kõiki.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Ta oli maailmas, ja kuigi maailm oli tehtud tema kaudu, ei tundud maailm, kes ta on.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Ta tuli omade juurde, kuid nad ei võtnud teda omaks.
12 But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name.
Kuid kõigile neile, kes ta vastu võtsid ja temasse uskusid, andis ta õiguse saada Jumala lapseks.
13 Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Need lapsed ei ole sündinud tavalisel moel, mitte inimese soovi või isa otsuse tulemusena, vaid nad on sündinud Jumalast.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
Sõna sai inimeseks ja elas meie keskel ning me nägime tema au, Isa ühe ja ainsa Poja au, täis armu ja tõde.
15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me.
Johannes tunnistas temast, hüüdes rahvale: „See on tema, kellest ma teile rääkisin, kui ütlesin: „See, kes tuleb pärast mind, on minust tähtsam, sest tema oli olemas juba enne mind.““
16 And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
Me kõik oleme saanud osa tema heldusest, ühe armulise kingi teise järel.
17 For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Seadus anti Moosese kaudu; arm ja tõde tulid Jeesuse Kristuse kaudu.
18 No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Kuigi keegi ei ole eales Jumalat näinud, on üks ja ainus Jumal, kes on Isa lähedal, näidanud meile, missugune on Jumal.
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: Who art thou?
Seda teatas Johannes avalikult, kui juudi juhid saatsid Jeruusalemmast preestreid ja leviite temalt küsima: „Kes sa oled?“
20 And he confessed, and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ.
Johannes kuulutas lihtsalt ja selgelt, ilma kõhklemata: „Ma ei ole Messias.“
21 And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No.
„Kes sa siis oled?“küsisid nad. „Kas Eelija?“„Ei, ei ole, “vastas ta. „Kas sa oled see prohvet?“„Ei, “kostis ta.
22 They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?
„Kes sa siis oled?“küsisid nad. „Me peame andma vastuse neile, kes meid saatsid. Mida sa enda kohta ütled?“
23 He said: I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias.
„Ma olen hääl, mis hüüab kõrbes: „Tehke Issanda tee sirgeks!““ütles ta prohvet Jesaja sõnu kasutades.
24 And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees.
Variseride saadetud preestrid ja leviidid
25 And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
küsisid talt: „Miks sa siis ristid, kui sa ei ole Messias, Eelija ega see prohvet?“
26 John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not.
Johannes vastas: „Mina ristin veega, kuid teie keskel seisab see, keda te ei tunne.
27 The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.
Tema tuleb pärast mind, aga ma ei ole väärt isegi tema sandaale lahti päästma.“
28 These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
See kõik toimus teiselpool Jordanit Betaanias, kus Johannes ristis.
29 The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.
Järgmisel päeval nägi Johannes Jeesust lähenemas ja ütles: „Vaadake, Jumala Tall, kes võtab ära maailma patu!
30 This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.
Tema on see, kellest ma rääkisin, kui ütlesin: „Pärast mind tuleb minust tähtsam mees, sest tema oli olemas juba enne mind.“
31 And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
Ma ise ei teadnud, kes ta on, kuid mina tulin ristima veega, et tema saaks Iisraelile ilmutatud.“
32 And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.
Johannes andis tunnistust temast, öeldes: „Ma nägin taevast laskumas Vaimu nagu tuvi ja tema peale jäämas.
33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
Ma ei oleks teda tundud, kui see, kes läkitas mind veega ristima, ei oleks mulle öelnud: „See, kelle peale sa näed Vaimu laskumas ja sinna jäämas, on see, kes ristib Püha Vaimuga.“
34 And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.
Ma nägin seda toimumas ja kinnitan, et see on Jumala Poeg.“
35 The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples.
Järgmisel päeval seisis Johannes koos oma kahe jüngriga.
36 And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.
Ta nägi Jeesust mööda minemas ja ütles: „Vaadake! See on Jumala Tall!“
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Kui kaks jüngrit kuulsid tema sõnu, läksid nad ja järgisid Jeesust.
38 And Jesus turning, and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwellest thou?
Jeesus pöördus ja nägi neid järgnemas. „Mida te otsite?“küsis ta neilt. „Rabi (mis tähendab „Õpetaja“), kus sa peatud?“küsisid nad vastu.
39 He saith to them: Come and see. They came, and saw where he abode, and they stayed with him that day: now it was about the tenth hour.
„Tulge ja vaadake, “ütles ta neile. Nii nad siis läksid koos temaga ja nägid, kus ta peatus. Kell oli umbes neli pärastlõunal, ja nad veetsid ülejäänud päeva temaga koos.
40 And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John, and followed him.
Andreas, Siimon Peetruse vend, oli üks neist kahest jüngrist, kes olid kuulnud, mida Johannes ütles, ja oli Jeesust järginud.
41 He findeth first his brother Simon, and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
Ta läks kohe otsima oma venda Siimonat ja ütles talle: „Me leidsime Messia!“(mis tähendab „Kristus“).
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter.
Ta viis tema Jeesuse juurde. Siimonale otsa vaadates ütles Jeesus: „Sina oled Siimon, Johannese poeg. Aga nüüd hüütakse sind Keefaseks“(mis tähendab „Peetrus“).
43 On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow me.
Järgmisel päeval otsustas Jeesus minna Galileasse. Jeesus leidis sealt Filippuse ja ütles talle: „Järgne mulle.“
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filippus oli pärit Betsaidast, samast linnast, kust Andreas ja Peetruski.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.
Filippus leidis Naatanaeli ja ütles talle: „Me leidsime tema, kellest Mooses kirjutas seaduses ja ka prohvetid − Naatsaretist pärit Jeesuse, Joosepi poja.“
46 And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see.
„Naatsaretist? Kas sealt saab tulla midagi head?“imestas Naatanael. „Lihtsalt tule ja vaata, “vastas Filippus.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him: and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.
Kui Jeesus nägi Naatanaeli lähenemas, ütles ta tema kohta: „Vaadake, siin on õige iisraellane! Temas ei ole midagi väärat.“
48 Nathanael saith 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.
„Kuidas sa tead, kes ma olen?“küsis Naatanael. „Ma nägin sind seal viigipuu all, enne kui Filippus sind kutsus, “vastas Jeesus.
49 Nathanael answered him, and said: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.
„Rabi, sina oled Jumala Poeg, Iisraeli kuningas!“hüüatas Naatanael.
50 Jesus answered, and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see.
„Kas sa usud seda lihtsalt sellepärast, et ma ütlesin sulle, et nägin sind viigipuu all?“ütles Jeesus. „Sa saad näha veel palju rohkem kui see!“
51 And he saith to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Seejärel lausus Jeesus: „Ma räägin teile tõtt: te kõik näete taeva olevat avatud ja Jumala inglid käimas üles ja alla inimese Poja peal.“
