John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
Adau vAda AsIt sa ca vAda IzvarENa sArdhamAsIt sa vAdaH svayamIzvara Eva|
2 this One was in the beginning with God;
sa AdAvIzvarENa sahAsIt|
3 all things happened through Him, and without Him not even one thing happened that has happened.
tEna sarvvaM vastu sasRjE sarvvESu sRSTavastuSu kimapi vastu tEnAsRSTaM nAsti|
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men,
sa jIvanasyAkAraH, tacca jIvanaM manuSyANAM jyOtiH
5 and the light shined in the darkness, and the darkness did not perceive it.
tajjyOtirandhakArE pracakAzE kintvandhakArastanna jagrAha|
6 There came a man—having been sent from God—whose name [is] John,
yOhan nAmaka EkO manuja IzvarENa prESayAnjcakrE|
7 this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
tadvArA yathA sarvvE vizvasanti tadarthaM sa tajjyOtiSi pramANaM dAtuM sAkSisvarUpO bhUtvAgamat,
8 that one was not the Light, but—that he might testify about the Light.
sa svayaM tajjyOti rna kintu tajjyOtiSi pramANaM dAtumAgamat|
9 He was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming into the world;
jagatyAgatya yaH sarvvamanujEbhyO dIptiM dadAti tadEva satyajyOtiH|
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him:
sa yajjagadasRjat tanmadya Eva sa AsIt kintu jagatO lOkAstaM nAjAnan|
11 He came to [His] own, and [His] own did not receive Him;
nijAdhikAraM sa Agacchat kintu prajAstaM nAgRhlan|
12 but as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in His Name,
tathApi yE yE tamagRhlan arthAt tasya nAmni vyazvasan tEbhya Izvarasya putrA bhavitum adhikAram adadAt|
13 who were begotten, not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.
tESAM janiH zONitAnna zArIrikAbhilASAnna mAnavAnAmicchAtO na kintvIzvarAdabhavat|
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of [the] only begotten of [the] Father, full of grace and truth.
sa vAdO manuSyarUpENAvatIryya satyatAnugrahAbhyAM paripUrNaH san sArdham asmAbhi rnyavasat tataH pituradvitIyaputrasya yOgyO yO mahimA taM mahimAnaM tasyApazyAma|
15 John testifies concerning Him, and has cried, saying, “This was He of whom I said, He who is coming after me has come before me, for He was before me.”
tatO yOhanapi pracAryya sAkSyamidaM dattavAn yO mama pazcAd AgamiSyati sa mattO gurutaraH; yatO matpUrvvaM sa vidyamAna AsIt; yadartham ahaM sAkSyamidam adAM sa ESaH|
16 And we all received out of His fullness, and grace for grace;
aparanjca tasya pUrNatAyA vayaM sarvvE kramazaH kramazOnugrahaM prAptAH|
17 for the Law was given through Moses, the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.
mUsAdvArA vyavasthA dattA kintvanugrahaH satyatvanjca yIzukhrISTadvArA samupAtiSThatAM|
18 No one has ever seen God; the only begotten God who is on the bosom of the Father—He has expounded [Him].
kOpi manuja IzvaraM kadApi nApazyat kintu pituH krOPasthO'dvitIyaH putrastaM prakAzayat|
19 And this is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites out of Jerusalem, that they might question him, “Who are you?”
tvaM kaH? iti vAkyaM prESTuM yadA yihUdIyalOkA yAjakAn lEvilOkAMzca yirUzAlamO yOhanaH samIpE prESayAmAsuH,
20 And he confessed and did not deny, and confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
tadA sa svIkRtavAn nApahnUtavAn nAham abhiSikta ityaggIkRtavAn|
21 And they questioned him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
tadA tE'pRcchan tarhi kO bhavAn? kiM EliyaH? sOvadat na; tatastE'pRcchan tarhi bhavAn sa bhaviSyadvAdI? sOvadat nAhaM saH|
22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, that we may give an answer to those sending us? What do you say concerning yourself?”
tadA tE'pRcchan tarhi bhavAn kaH? vayaM gatvA prErakAn tvayi kiM vakSyAmaH? svasmin kiM vadasi?
23 He said, “I [am] a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the LORD, as Isaiah the prophet said.”
tadA sOvadat| paramEzasya panthAnaM pariSkuruta sarvvataH| itIdaM prAntarE vAkyaM vadataH kasyacidravaH| kathAmimAM yasmin yizayiyO bhaviSyadvAdI likhitavAn sOham|
24 And those sent were of the Pharisees,
yE prESitAstE phirUzilOkAH|
25 and they questioned him and said to him, “Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
tadA tE'pRcchan yadi nAbhiSiktOsi EliyOsi na sa bhaviSyadvAdyapi nAsi ca, tarhi lOkAn majjayasi kutaH?
26 John answered them, saying, “I immerse in water, but in the midst of you has stood He whom you have not known, it is this One who is coming after me, who has been before me,
tatO yOhan pratyavOcat, tOyE'haM majjayAmIti satyaM kintu yaM yUyaM na jAnItha tAdRza EkO janO yuSmAkaM madhya upatiSThati|
27 of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the strap of His sandal.”
sa matpazcAd AgatOpi matpUrvvaM varttamAna AsIt tasya pAdukAbandhanaM mOcayitumapi nAhaM yOgyOsmi|
28 These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
yarddananadyAH pArasthabaithabArAyAM yasminsthAnE yOhanamajjayat tasmina sthAnE sarvvamEtad aghaTata|
29 On the next day John sees Jesus coming to him and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;
parE'hani yOhan svanikaTamAgacchantaM yizuM vilOkya prAvOcat jagataH pApamOcakam Izvarasya mESazAvakaM pazyata|
30 this is He concerning whom I said, After me comes a Man who has come before me, because He was before me:
yO mama pazcAdAgamiSyati sa mattO gurutaraH, yatO hEtOrmatpUrvvaM sO'varttata yasminnahaM kathAmimAM kathitavAn sa EvAyaM|
31 and I did not know Him, but that He might be revealed to Israel, because of this I came immersing in water.”
aparaM nAhamEnaM pratyabhijnjAtavAn kintu isrAyEllOkA EnaM yathA paricinvanti tadabhiprAyENAhaM jalE majjayitumAgaccham|
32 And John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit coming down out of Heaven as a dove, and [that] One remained on Him;
punazca yOhanaparamEkaM pramANaM datvA kathitavAn vihAyasaH kapOtavad avatarantamAtmAnam asyOparyyavatiSThantaM ca dRSTavAnaham|
33 and I did not know Him, but He who sent me to immerse in water, He said to me, On whomsoever you may see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on Him, this is He who is immersing in the Holy Spirit;
nAhamEnaM pratyabhijnjAtavAn iti satyaM kintu yO jalE majjayituM mAM prairayat sa EvEmAM kathAmakathayat yasyOparyyAtmAnam avatarantam avatiSThantanjca drakSayasi saEva pavitrE Atmani majjayiSyati|
34 and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.”
avastannirIkSyAyam Izvarasya tanaya iti pramANaM dadAmi|
35 On the next day, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,
parE'hani yOhan dvAbhyAM ziSyAbhyAM sArddhEM tiSThan
36 and having looked on Jesus walking, he says, “Behold, the Lamb of God”;
yizuM gacchantaM vilOkya gaditavAn, Izvarasya mESazAvakaM pazyataM|
37 and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
imAM kathAM zrutvA dvau ziSyau yIzOH pazcAd IyatuH|
38 And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, says to them, “What do you seek?” And they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is, being interpreted, Teacher), “where do You remain?”
tatO yIzuH parAvRtya tau pazcAd Agacchantau dRSTvA pRSTavAn yuvAM kiM gavEzayathaH? tAvapRcchatAM hE rabbi arthAt hE gurO bhavAn kutra tiSThati?
39 He says to them, “Come and see”; they came and saw where He remains, and they remained with Him that day and the hour was about the tenth.

40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed Him;
yau dvau yOhanO vAkyaM zrutvA yizOH pazcAd AgamatAM tayOH zimOnpitarasya bhrAtA AndriyaH
41 this one first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is, being interpreted, Anointed One),
sa itvA prathamaM nijasOdaraM zimOnaM sAkSAtprApya kathitavAn vayaM khrISTam arthAt abhiSiktapuruSaM sAkSAtkRtavantaH|
42 and he brought him to Jesus: and having looked on him, Jesus says, “You are Simon, the son of Jonas, you will be called Cephas,” (which is interpreted, A rock).

43 On the next day He willed to go forth to Galilee, and He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow Me.”
parE'hani yIzau gAlIlaM gantuM nizcitacEtasi sati philipanAmAnaM janaM sAkSAtprApyAvOcat mama pazcAd Agaccha|
44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;
baitsaidAnAmni yasmin grAmE pitarAndriyayOrvAsa AsIt tasmin grAmE tasya philipasya vasatirAsIt|
45 Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the Prophets, we have found, Jesus the Son of Joseph, who [is] from Nazareth!”

46 And Nathanael said to him, “Is any good thing able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
tadA nithanEl kathitavAn nAsarannagarAta kiM kazciduttama utpantuM zaknOti? tataH philipO 'vOcat Etya pazya|
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and He says concerning him, “Behold, truly an Israelite, in whom is no guile”;
aparanjca yIzuH svasya samIpaM tam AgacchantaM dRSTvA vyAhRtavAn, pazyAyaM niSkapaTaH satya isrAyEllOkaH|
48 Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip’s calling you, being under the fig tree, I saw you.”

49 Nathanael answered and says to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God, You are the King of Israel.”
nithanEl acakathat, hE gurO bhavAn nitAntam Izvarasya putrOsi, bhavAn isrAyElvaMzasya rAjA|
50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, you believe; you will see greater things than these”;

51 and He says to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, from now on you will see Heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down on the Son of Man.”
