John 1
1 In the beginning the Word already was. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Alguses oli Sõna juba olemas. Sõna oli Jumala juures ja Sõna oli Jumal.
2 In the beginning he was with God.
Alguses oli ta Jumala juures.
3 Everything came into being through him; nothing came into being without him.
Kõik on tekkinud tema kaudu; ilma temata ei ole tekkinud midagi.
4 In him was life, the life that was the light of everyone.
Temas oli elu, see elu, mis on kõigi valgus.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not extinguished it.
Valgus paistab pimedusse ja pimedus ei ole seda kustutanud.
6 God sent a man named John.
Jumal saatis mehe nimega Johannes.
7 He came as a witness to explain about the light so that everyone might believe through him.
Ta tuli tunnistajana selgitama valgust, et kõik võiksid tema kaudu uskuda.
8 He himself was not the light, but he came to witness to the light.
Tema ise ei olnud valgus, vaid ta tuli valgusest tunnistama.
9 The true light was coming into the world to give light to everyone.
Tõeline valgus oli tulemas maailma, et valgustada kõiki.
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world didn't know who he was.
Ta oli maailmas, ja kuigi maailm oli tehtud tema kaudu, ei tundud maailm, kes ta on.
11 He came to his own people, but they didn't accept him.
Ta tuli omade juurde, kuid nad ei võtnud teda omaks.
12 But to all those who accepted him and trusted in him, he gave the right to become God's children.
Kuid kõigile neile, kes ta vastu võtsid ja temasse uskusid, andis ta õiguse saada Jumala lapseks.
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.
Need lapsed ei ole sündinud tavalisel moel, mitte inimese soovi või isa otsuse tulemusena, vaid nad on sündinud Jumalast.
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.
Sõna sai inimeseks ja elas meie keskel ning me nägime tema au, Isa ühe ja ainsa Poja au, täis armu ja tõde.
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.’”
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 We have all been recipients of his generous nature, one gracious gift after another.
Me kõik oleme saanud osa tema heldusest, ühe armulise kingi teise järel.
17 The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Seadus anti Moosese kaudu; arm ja tõde tulid Jeesuse Kristuse kaudu.
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.
Kuigi keegi ei ole eales Jumalat näinud, on üks ja ainus Jumal, kes on Isa lähedal, näidanud meile, missugune on Jumal.
19 This is what John publicly stated when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
Seda teatas Johannes avalikult, kui juudi juhid saatsid Jeruusalemmast preestreid ja leviite temalt küsima: „Kes sa oled?“
20 John declared plainly and clearly without hesitation, “I am not the Messiah.”
Johannes kuulutas lihtsalt ja selgelt, ilma kõhklemata: „Ma ei ole Messias.“
21 “So then, who are you?” they asked. “Elijah?” “No, I'm not,” he answered. “Are you the Prophet?” “No,” he replied.
„Kes sa siis oled?“küsisid nad. „Kas Eelija?“„Ei, ei ole, “vastas ta. „Kas sa oled see prohvet?“„Ei, “kostis ta.
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?”
„Kes sa siis oled?“küsisid nad. „Me peame andma vastuse neile, kes meid saatsid. Mida sa enda kohta ütled?“
23 “I am a voice calling in the desert, ‘Make the Lord's way straight!’” he said, using the words of the prophet Isaiah.
„Ma olen hääl, mis hüüab kõrbes: „Tehke Issanda tee sirgeks!““ütles ta prohvet Jesaja sõnu kasutades.
24 The priests and Levites sent by the Pharisees
Variseride saadetud preestrid ja leviidid
25 asked him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you're not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?”
küsisid talt: „Miks sa siis ristid, kui sa ei ole Messias, Eelija ega see prohvet?“
26 John replied, “I baptize with water, but standing among you is someone you don't know.
Johannes vastas: „Mina ristin veega, kuid teie keskel seisab see, keda te ei tunne.
27 He is coming after me, but I am not even worthy to untie his sandals.”
Tema tuleb pärast mind, aga ma ei ole väärt isegi tema sandaale lahti päästma.“
28 This all happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
See kõik toimus teiselpool Jordanit Betaanias, kus Johannes ristis.
29 The next day John saw Jesus approaching him, and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes 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 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.’
Tema on see, kellest ma rääkisin, kui ütlesin: „Pärast mind tuleb minust tähtsam mees, sest tema oli olemas juba enne mind.“
31 I didn't know myself who he was, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel.”
Ma ise ei teadnud, kes ta on, kuid mina tulin ristima veega, et tema saaks Iisraelile ilmutatud.“
32 John gave his evidence about him, saying, “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove and rest upon him.
Johannes andis tunnistust temast, öeldes: „Ma nägin taevast laskumas Vaimu nagu tuvi ja tema peale jäämas.
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.’
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 I saw it happen and I declare that this is the Son of God.”
Ma nägin seda toimumas ja kinnitan, et see on Jumala Poeg.“
35 The next day John was standing there with two of his disciples.
Järgmisel päeval seisis Johannes koos oma kahe jüngriga.
36 He saw Jesus passing by, and said, “Look! This is the Lamb of God!”
Ta nägi Jeesust mööda minemas ja ütles: „Vaadake! See on Jumala Tall!“
37 When the two disciples heard what he said they went and followed Jesus.
Kui kaks jüngrit kuulsid tema sõnu, läksid nad ja järgisid Jeesust.
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.
Jeesus pöördus ja nägi neid järgnemas. „Mida te otsite?“küsis ta neilt. „Rabi (mis tähendab „Õpetaja“), kus sa peatud?“küsisid nad vastu.
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.
„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 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of these two disciples who had heard what John said and followed Jesus.
Andreas, Siimon Peetruse vend, oli üks neist kahest jüngrist, kes olid kuulnud, mida Johannes ütles, ja oli Jeesust järginud.
41 He went at once to find his brother Simon and told him, “We've found the Messiah!” (which means “Christ”).
Ta läks kohe otsima oma venda Siimonat ja ütles talle: „Me leidsime Messia!“(mis tähendab „Kristus“).
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”).
Ta viis tema Jeesuse juurde. Siimonale otsa vaadates ütles Jeesus: „Sina oled Siimon, Johannese poeg. Aga nüüd hüütakse sind Keefaseks“(mis tähendab „Peetrus“).
43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. Jesus found Philip there, and told him, “Follow me.”
Järgmisel päeval otsustas Jeesus minna Galileasse. Jeesus leidis sealt Filippuse ja ütles talle: „Järgne mulle.“
44 Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town that Andrew and Peter came from.
Filippus oli pärit Betsaidast, samast linnast, kust Andreas ja Peetruski.
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.”
Filippus leidis Naatanaeli ja ütles talle: „Me leidsime tema, kellest Mooses kirjutas seaduses ja ka prohvetid − Naatsaretist pärit Jeesuse, Joosepi poja.“
46 “From Nazareth? Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael wondered. “Just come and see,” Philip replied.
„Naatsaretist? Kas sealt saab tulla midagi head?“imestas Naatanael. „Lihtsalt tule ja vaata, “vastas Filippus.
47 As Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said about him, “Look, here's a true Israelite! There's nothing false about him.”
Kui Jeesus nägi Naatanaeli lähenemas, ütles ta tema kohta: „Vaadake, siin on õige iisraellane! Temas ei ole midagi väärat.“
48 “How do you know who I am?” Nathanael asked. “I saw you there under the fig tree, before Philip called you,” Jesus replied.
„Kuidas sa tead, kes ma olen?“küsis Naatanael. „Ma nägin sind seal viigipuu all, enne kui Filippus sind kutsus, “vastas Jeesus.
49 “Rabbi, you are the Son of God, the king of Israel!” Nathaniel exclaimed.
„Rabi, sina oled Jumala Poeg, Iisraeli kuningas!“hüüatas Naatanael.
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!”
„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 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.”
Seejärel lausus Jeesus: „Ma räägin teile tõtt: te kõik näete taeva olevat avatud ja Jumala inglid käimas üles ja alla inimese Poja peal.“
