< John 1 >
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
EN el principio era el Verbo, y el Verbo era con Dios, y el Verbo era Dios.
2 this One was in the beginning with God;
Este era en el principio con Dios.
3 all things happened through Him, and without Him not even one thing happened that has happened.
Todas las cosas por él fueron hechas; y sin él nada de lo que es hecho, fué hecho.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men,
En él estaba la vida, y la vida era la luz de los hombres.
5 and the light shined in the darkness, and the darkness did not perceive it.
Y la luz en las tinieblas resplandece; mas las tinieblas no la comprendieron.
6 There came a man—having been sent from God—whose name [is] John,
Fué un hombre enviado de Dios, el cual se llamaba Juan.
7 this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
Este vino por testimonio, para que diese testimonio de la luz, para que todos creyesen por él.
8 that one was not the Light, but—that he might testify about the Light.
No era él la luz, sino para que diese testimonio de la luz.
9 He was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming into the world;
[Aquél] era la luz verdadera, que alumbra á todo hombre que viene á este mundo.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him:
En el mundo estaba, y el mundo fué hecho por él; y el mundo no le conoció.
11 He came to [His] own, and [His] own did not receive Him;
A lo suyo vino, y los suyos no le recibieron.
12 but as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in His Name,
Mas á todos los que le recibieron, dióles potestad de ser hechos hijos de Dios, á los que creen en su nombre:
13 who were begotten, not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.
Los cuales no son engendrados de sangre, ni de voluntad de carne, ni de voluntad de varón, mas de Dios.
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.
Y aquel Verbo fué hecho carne, y habitó entre nosotros (y vimos su gloria, gloria como del unigénito del Padre), lleno de gracia y de verdad.
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.”
Juan dió testimonio de él, y clamó diciendo: Este es del que [yo] decía: El que viene tras mí, es antes de mí: porque es primero que yo.
16 And we all received out of His fullness, and grace for grace;
Porque de su plenitud tomamos todos, y gracia por gracia.
17 for the Law was given through Moses, the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.
Porque la ley por Moisés fué dada: [mas] la gracia y la verdad por Jesucristo fué hecha.
18 No one has ever seen God; the only begotten God who is on the bosom of the Father—He has expounded [Him].
A Dios nadie le vió jamás: el unigénito Hijo, que está en el seno del Padre, él [le] declaró.
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?”
Y éste es el testimonio de Juan, cuando los Judíos enviaron de Jerusalem sacerdotes y Levitas, que le preguntasen: ¿Tú, quién eres?
20 And he confessed and did not deny, and confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
Y confesó, y no negó; mas declaró: No soy yo el Cristo.
21 And they questioned him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
Y le preguntaron: ¿Qué pues? ¿Eres tú Elías? Dijo: No soy. ¿Eres tú el profeta? Y respondió: No.
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?”
Dijéronle: ¿Pues quién eres? para que demos respuesta á los que nos enviaron. ¿Qué dices de ti mismo?
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.”
Dijo: Yo soy la voz del que clama en el desierto: Enderezad el camino del Señor, como dijo Isaías profeta.
24 And those sent were of the Pharisees,
Y los que habían sido enviados eran de los Fariseos.
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?”
Y preguntáronle, y dijéronle: ¿Por qué pues bautizas, si tú no eres el Cristo, ni Elías, ni el profeta?
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,
Y Juan les respondió, diciendo: Yo bautizo con agua; mas en medio de vosotros ha estado á quien vosotros no conocéis.
27 of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the strap of His sandal.”
Este es el que ha de venir tras mí, el cual es antes de mí: del cual yo no soy digno de desatar la correa del zapato.
28 These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
Estas cosas acontecieron en Betábara, de la otra parte del Jordán, donde Juan bautizaba.
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;
El siguiente día ve Juan á Jesús que venía á él, y dice: He aquí el Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo.
30 this is He concerning whom I said, After me comes a Man who has come before me, because He was before me:
Este es del que dije: Tras mí viene un varón, el cual es antes de mí: porque era primero que yo.
31 and I did not know Him, but that He might be revealed to Israel, because of this I came immersing in water.”
Y yo no le conocía; más para que fuese manifestado á Israel, por eso vine yo bautizando con agua.
32 And John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit coming down out of Heaven as a dove, and [that] One remained on Him;
Y Juan dió testimonio, diciendo: Vi al Espíritu que descendía del cielo como paloma, y reposó sobre él.
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;
Y yo no le conocía; mas el que me envió á bautizar con agua, aquél me dijo: Sobre quien vieres descender el Espíritu, y que reposa sobre él, éste es el que bautiza con Espíritu Santo.
34 and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.”
Y yo [le] vi, y he dado testimonio que éste es el Hijo de Dios.
35 On the next day, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,
El siguiente día otra vez estaba Juan, y dos de sus discípulos.
36 and having looked on Jesus walking, he says, “Behold, the Lamb of God”;
Y mirando á Jesús que andaba por [allí], dijo: He aquí el Cordero de Dios.
37 and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Y oyéronle los dos discípulos hablar, y siguieron á Jesús.
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?”
Y volviéndose Jesús, y viéndolos seguir[le], díceles: ¿Qué buscáis? Y ellos le dijeron: Rabbí (que declarado quiere decir Maestro) ¿dónde moras?
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.
Díceles: Venid y ved. Vinieron, y vieron donde moraba, y quedáronse con él aquel día: porque era como la hora de las diez.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed Him;
Era Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro, uno de los dos que habían oído de Juan, y le habían seguido.
41 this one first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is, being interpreted, Anointed One),
Este halló primero á su hermano Simón, y díjole: Hemos hallado al Mesías (que declarado es, el Cristo).
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).
Y le trajo á Jesús. Y mirándole Jesús, dijo: Tú eres Simón, hijo de Jonás: tú serás llamado Cephas (que quiere decir, Piedra).
43 On the next day He willed to go forth to Galilee, and He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow Me.”
El siguiente día quiso Jesús ir á Galilea, y halla á Felipe, al cual dijo: Sígueme.
44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;
Y era Felipe de Bethsaida, la ciudad de Andrés y de Pedro.
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!”
Felipe halló á Natanael, y dícele: Hemos hallado á aquel de quien escribió Moisés en la ley, y los profetas: á Jesús, el hijo de José, de Nazaret.
46 And Nathanael said to him, “Is any good thing able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Y díjole Natanael: ¿De Nazaret puede haber algo de bueno? Dícele Felipe: Ven y ve.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and He says concerning him, “Behold, truly an Israelite, in whom is no guile”;
Jesús vió venir á sí á Natanael, y dijo de él: He aquí un verdadero Israelita, en el cual no hay engaño.
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.”
Dícele Natanael: ¿De dónde me conoces? Respondió Jesús, y díjole: Antes que Felipe te llamara, cuando estabas debajo de la higuera te vi.
49 Nathanael answered and says to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God, You are the King of Israel.”
Respondió Natanael, y díjole: Rabbí, tú eres el Hijo de Dios; tú eres el Rey de Israel.
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”;
Respondió Jesús y díjole: ¿Porque te dije, te vi debajo de la higuera, crees? cosas mayores que éstas verás.
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.”
Y dícele: De cierto, de cierto os digo: De aquí adelante veréis el cielo abierto, y los ángeles de Dios que suben y descienden sobre el Hijo del hombre.
