John 1
1 In the beginning the Word already was. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Shuru te Kotha asele, aru Kotha to Isor logote thakise, aru Kotha he Isor ase.
2 In the beginning he was with God.
Etu shuru pora Isor logote he thakise.
3 Everything came into being through him; nothing came into being without him.
Sob jinis Tai pora he bonaise, aru ki bonaise Tai nathaki kene eku bhi bona nai.
4 In him was life, the life that was the light of everyone.
Tai logote jibon asele, aru jibon to manu khan laga pohor asele.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not extinguished it.
Aru pohor to andhera te ujala korise, aru andhera to pohor ke jitibo para nai.
6 God sent a man named John.
Isor pora pathai diya ekjon manu asele, jun laga naam John thakise.
7 He came as a witness to explain about the light so that everyone might believe through him.
Tai gawahi hoi ahise, pohor laga kotha jonai dibole, aru sob Tai dwara biswas kori bole.
8 He himself was not the light, but he came to witness to the light.
John nijor to pohor nohoi, kintu tai pohor laga gawahi dibole ahise.
9 The true light was coming into the world to give light to everyone.
Sob manu ke pohor dibole asol pohor duniya te ahi thakise.
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world didn't know who he was.
Tai duniya te thakisele, aru Tai he duniya bonaise, kintu duniya pora Taike janibo para nai.
11 He came to his own people, but they didn't accept him.
Tai nijor manu khan majote ahise, kintu Tai nijor manu khan pora Taike luwa nai.
12 But to all those who accepted him and trusted in him, he gave the right to become God's children.
Kintu jiman jon pora Taike grohon korise, Tai he taikhan ke Isor laga bacha hobole adhikar dise, jun Tai naam pora biswas kori loise.
13 These are the children born not in the usual way, not as the result of human desire or a father's decision, but born of God.
Taikhan jonom to khun pora bhi nohoi, mangso pora bhi nohoi, aru mangso itcha pora bhi nohoi, kintu Isor laga itcha pora ase.
14 The Word became human and lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son, full of grace and truth.
Aru Kotha to gaw mangso hoi kene amikhan majote thakise. Amikhan Tai laga mohima dikhise, eneka mohima juntu Baba pora tai laga ekjon morom thaka Putro ke dise, aru etu anugraha aru hosa pora bhorta ase.
15 John gave his testimony about him, shouting out to the people, “This is the one I was telling you about when I said, ‘The one who is coming after me is more important than me, for before I ever existed he already was.’”
John pora Tai laga gawahi dikene eneka koise, “Etu he ekjon ase Jun nimite moi koise, ‘Jun moi laga piche ahi ase, Tai to moi pora bhi bisi dangor ase, kelemane moi laga age pora Tai thakise.’”
16 We have all been recipients of his generous nature, one gracious gift after another.
Aru Tai bhorta hoi thaka pora amikhan anugraha uporte anugraha paise.
17 The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Kelemane niyom to Moses dwara anidise. Kintu anugraha aru hosa to Jisu Khrista pora he anise.
18 While no one has ever seen God, God the one and only, who is close to the Father, has shown us what God is like.
Isor ke kun bhi kitia bhi dikha nai. Ekjon Isor, jun Baba laga usorte bohi ase, etu ke he Tai dikhai dise.
19 This is what John publicly stated when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
John laga gawahi etu ase, Yehudi khan Jerusalem sheher pora Levi dol laga purohit khan ke pathaise taike hudibole, “Apuni kun ase?”
20 John declared plainly and clearly without hesitation, “I am not the Messiah.”
Tai shikar kori kene koise- “Moi Khrista nohoi.”
21 “So then, who are you?” they asked. “Elijah?” “No, I'm not,” he answered. “Are you the Prophet?” “No,” he replied.
Aru taikhan hudise, “Nohoile apuni kun ase? Apuni Elijah ase?” Tai koise, “Moi nohoi.” Taikhan koise, “Apuni bhabobadi ase?” Aru tai jawab dise, “Nohoi.”
22 “Well, who are you, then?” they asked. “We have to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
Arubi taikhan taike hudise, “Apuni kun ase? Kilekoile amikhan ke pathai diya khan ke jowab dibo lage. Apuni nijorke kun ase koi?”
23 “I am a voice calling in the desert, ‘Make the Lord's way straight!’” he said, using the words of the prophet Isaiah.
Tai koise, “Ami ekta awaj ase, juntu jongol te hala kori koi ase: ‘Probhu laga rasta sidha koribi,’ Jineka bhabobadi Isaiah pora likhise.”
24 The priests and Levites sent by the Pharisees
Aru ta te Pharisee khan pora kunba manu khan ke pathaise.
25 asked him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you're not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?”
Aru taikhan taike hudise, “Jodi apuni Khrista nohoi, Elijah bhi nohoi, aru bhabobadi bhi nohoi, to kele apuni baptizma di ase?”
26 John replied, “I baptize with water, but standing among you is someone you don't know.
John taikhan ke jawab dise aru koise, “Moi pani pora baptizma di thaka he ase. Kintu tumikhan majote ekjon khara ase, Junke tumikhan najane.
27 He is coming after me, but I am not even worthy to untie his sandals.”
Jun moi pichete ahi ase moi Tai laga juta laga rusi bhi khuli bole layak manu nohoi.”
28 This all happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Etu sob to Jordan nodi laga dusra phale thaka Bethany te hoise, kun to jagate John baptizma di thakise.
29 The next day John saw Jesus approaching him, and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Dusra dinte Jisu tai logote ahi thaka dikhikena John koise, “Sabi, Isor laga Mer bacha, kun pora etu duniya laga paap uthai loi jabole ase!
30 This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘A man who is coming after me is more important than me, for before I ever existed he already was.’
Etu he ase, Kun laga kotha moi age pora koi dise, ‘Ekjon ami laga piche ahi ase, Jun he moi pora bhi dangor ase, kelemane moi pora poila Tai thakisele.’
31 I didn't know myself who he was, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel.”
Moi bhi Taike najane. Kintu Israel manu khan logot Taike prokahit kori dibo karone moi pani pora baptizma di ahise.”
32 John gave his evidence about him, saying, “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove and rest upon him.
Aru John etu gawahi dikene koise, “Atma he paro nisena sorgo pora ahikena Tai uporte bohi juwa moi dikhise.
33 I wouldn't have known him except he who sent me to baptize with water had told me, ‘The one you see the Spirit descend to and rest upon, he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
Moi Taike najane kintu Jun he moike pani pora baptizma dibole pathaise, Tai he moike koise, ‘Jun uporte Atma ahi thaki juwa tumi dikhibo, Tai he Pobitro Atma pora baptizma dibo thaka to ase.’
34 I saw it happen and I declare that this is the Son of God.”
Aru moi etu dikhi kene gawahi di ase, etu he Isor laga Putro ase.”
35 The next day John was standing there with two of his disciples.
Dusra dinte John pora tai laga duijon chela ke loi kene khara thakise.
36 He saw Jesus passing by, and said, “Look! This is the Lamb of God!”
Titia Jisu berai kene aha dikhi kene tai koise, “Sabi, Isor laga Mer bacha!”
37 When the two disciples heard what he said they went and followed Jesus.
Titia duijon chela etu huni kene Jisu laga piche korise.
38 Jesus turned round and saw them following him. “What are you looking for?” he asked them. “Rabbi (which means ‘Teacher’), where are you staying?” they asked in reply.
Titia Jisu ghuri saise aru tai duijon ke dikhi kene hudise, “Tumikhan ke ki lage?” Taikhan koise, “Rabbi, Apuni kot te thaki ase? - Etu motlob to Shika manu- Apuni kot te thake?”
39 “Come and see,” he told them. So they went with him and saw where he was staying. It was about four p.m., and they spent the rest of the day with him.
Tai koise, “Ahi kene sabi.” Taikhan jai kene Tai kot te thaki ase etu dikhise, aru etu din Tai logote thaki jaise, aru etu somoi to dos ghanta nisena asele.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of these two disciples who had heard what John said and followed Jesus.
Duijon majote kun John laga kotha huni kene Jisu logote jaise, etu ekjon to Simon Peter laga bhai Andrew thakise.
41 He went at once to find his brother Simon and told him, “We've found the Messiah!” (which means “Christ”).
Tai Simon ke bisari kene koise, “Amikhan Messiah ke pai loise,” motlob ase Khrista.
42 He took him to Jesus. Looking directly at Simon, Jesus said, “You are Simon, son of John. But now you will be called Cephas,” (which means “Peter”).
Aru taike loi kene Jisu logot anise, aru Jisu taike saikene koise, “O Jonah laga Putro Simon, tumike Kefa matibo” - dusra naam ase Peter.
43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. Jesus found Philip there, and told him, “Follow me.”
Dusra din Jisu to Galilee jagate jabole mon thakise, titia Tai Philip ke lok paise aru taike koise, “Ami laga piche koribi.”
44 Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town that Andrew and Peter came from.
Philip to Bethsaida nogor laga manu asele, juntu sheher to Andrew aru Peter laga sheher asele.
45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We've found the one that Moses wrote about in the law and that the prophets did too—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
Jitia Philip pora Nathaniel ke paise, tai koise, “Moses laga kitab te aru bhabobadi khan he jun laga kotha likhi rakhise, etu amikhan pai loise: etu Joseph laga chokra Nazareth Jisu he ase.”
46 “From Nazareth? Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael wondered. “Just come and see,” Philip replied.
Kintu Nathaniel taike koise, “Bhal bostu Nazareth pora ulabo naki?” Philip pora taike koise, “Ahibi aru sabi.”
47 As Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said about him, “Look, here's a true Israelite! There's nothing false about him.”
Titia Jisu pora Nathaniel Tai phale aha dikhi kene koise, “Sabi, etu hosa te Israel manu ase, tai thogai diya manu nohoi!”
48 “How do you know who I am?” Nathanael asked. “I saw you there under the fig tree, before Philip called you,” Jesus replied.
Nathaniel Taike koise, “Apuni moike kineka jane?” Jisu taike jowab di koise, “Philip pora tumike mata age te tumi dimoru ghas niche bohi thaka Moi dikhise.”
49 “Rabbi, you are the Son of God, the king of Israel!” Nathaniel exclaimed.
Nathaniel Taike jowab dise, “Rabbi, Apuni Isor laga Chora ase! Apuni Israel laga Raja ase!”
50 “You believe this just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree?” Jesus replied. “You'll get to see much more than that!”
Jisu jowab te taike koise, “kelemane Moi tumike koise, ‘Moi Tumike dimoru ghas nichete bohi thaka dikhise’ kowa karone tumi biswas korise? Tumi etu pora bhi bisi dangor kaam dikhibo.”
51 Then Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open, and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of man.”
Aru Jisu taike koise, “Hosa pora Moi tumikhan ke kobo, tumikhan sorgo khuli diya, aru Isor laga duth khan pora Manu laga Putro uporte aha juwa kora dikhibo.”
