< John 1 >
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word himself was with Aloha, and Aloha was the Word himself.
2 This was in the beginning with God.
This was in the beginning with Aloha.
3 All things were made by him, and without him not a single creature was made.
Every thing by his hand was made; and without him also was not one thing made that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of man.
In him was life, and the life is the light of the sons of man;
5 And the light shone in darkness, but the darkness received it not.
and the Light himself in the darkness shineth, and the darkness perceived him not.
6 A man named John, was sent from God.
There was a man who was sent from Aloha, his name (was) Juchanon.
7 This man came as a witness, to testify concerning the light, that through him, all might believe.
He came for the testimony, to testify concerning the Light, that all men might believe through his ministry.
8 He was not himself the light; but came to testify concerning the light.
He was not the Light himself, but came to testify concerning the Light.
9 The true light was he who, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
For that was the true Light that enlighteneth every man who cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him; yet the world knew him not.
In the world was he, and the world by his hand had been made, and the world knew him not.
11 He came to his own land, and his own people did not receive him;
He came to his own, and his own received him not.
12 but to as many as received him, believing in his name, he granted the privilege of being children of God;
But they who received him, he gave to them power, that the sons of Aloha they should become, to those who believe in his name.
13 who derive their birth not from blood, nor from the desire of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from God.
These, not from blood, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from Aloha, are born.
14 And the Word became incarnate, and sojourned amongst us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of favor and truth.
And the Word flesh was made, and tabernacled with us; and we saw his glory, the glory as of the one-begotten who (was) from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 (It was concerning him John testified, when he cried, This is He of whom I said, He that comes after me, is preferred to me; for he was before me.)
Juchanon testified concerning him, and cried, and said, This is he of whom I said, that he cometh after me, and was before me, because he is anterior to me.
16 Of his fulness we all have received, even favor for favor's sake;
And from his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
17 for the law was given by Moses--the favor and the truth came by Jesus Christ.
For the law by the hand of Musha was given; but the truth and the grace were by Jeshu Meshicha.
18 No one ever saw God; it is the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, who has made him known.
ALOHA no man hath ever seen: the one-begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.
19 Now this is the testimony of John. When the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who are you?
And this was the testimony of Juchanon, when the Jihudoyee sent to him from Urishlem priests and Levoyee to demand of him, Who art thou?
20 he acknowledged, and denied not, but acknowledged, saying, I am not the Messiah.
And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Meshicha.
21 And they asked him, Who, then? Are you Elijah? He said, I am not. Are you the prophet? He answered, No.
And they asked him again, What then? art thou Elia? And he said, I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he said, No.
22 They said, Tell, then, who you are, that we may return an answer to them who sent us. What do you say of yourself?
And they said to him, And who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 He answered, I am he whose voice proclaims in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord," as said, the Prophet Isaiah.
He saith, I am the voice which crieth in the wilderness, Make plain the way of the Lord, as said Eshaia the prophet.
24 Now they who were sent, were of the Pharisees.
But they who were sent were from the Pharishee.
25 And they questioned him further, Why, then, do you immerse, if you be not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
And they demanded and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Meshicha, nor Elia, nor the Prophet?
26 John answered, I immerse in water, but there is one among you whom you know not.
Juchanon answered and said to them, I baptize you with waters; but he standeth among you whom you know not:
27 It is he who comes after me, and was before me; whose shoe-string I am not worthy to loose.
he it is who cometh after me, and he was before me; he, the latchets of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose.
28 This happened at Bethabara, upon the Jordan, where John was immersing.
These things were done in Bethania, at the passage of the Jurdan, where Juchanon was baptizing.
29 On the next day, John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world.
AND the day after, Juchanon seeth Jeshu, who was coming to him; and he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha, who beareth the sin of the world!
30 This is He, concerning whom I said, After me a man comes, who is preferred to me; for he was before me.
This is he concerning whom I said, After me cometh a man, and he was before me, because he is anterior to me.
31 As for me, I knew him not; but, that he might be made manifest to Israel, I am come immersing in water.
And I knew him not, but that he should be made known unto Isroel, therefore have I come with waters to baptize.
32 John testified further, saying, I saw the spirit descending from heaven, like a dove, and remaining upon him.
And Juchanon testified and said, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven as a dove, and it remained upon him.
33 For my part, I should not have known him, had not He, who sent me to immerse in water, told me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining, the same is He who immerses in the Holy Spirit.
And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me, He upon whom thou seest the Spirit descend and remain, this baptizeth with the Spirit of Holiness:
34 Having, therefore, seen this, I testify that he is the Son of God.
and I saw, and bare witness that this is the Son of Aloha
35 The next day, John, being with two of his disciples,
And the day after Juchanon stood, and two of his disciples;
36 observed Jesus passing, and said, Behold the Lamb of God.
and, contemplating Jeshu as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha!
37 The two disciples hearing this, followed Jesus.
And his two disciples heard him as he spake, and they went after Jeshu.
38 And Jesus turning about, saw them following, and said to them, What do you seek? They answered, Rabbi, (which signifies Teacher, ) where do you dwell?
And Jeshu turned (himself), and saw them coming after him, and said to them, Whom seek you? They say to him, Raban, where dwellest thou?
39 He replied, Come, and see. They went, and saw where he dwelt, and it being about the tenth hour, abode with him that day.
He saith to them, Come and see. And they went and saw where he dwelt; and they were with him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.
40 One of the two, who, having heard John, followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
Now one of those who heard Juchanon and went after Jeshu, was Andreas, the brother of Shemun.
41 The first he met, was his own brother, Simon; to whom he said, We have found the Messiah, (a name equivalent to Christ.)
This saw first Shemun his brother, and said to him, We have found the Meshicha;
42 And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus, looking upon him, said, You are Simon, the son of Jona; you shall be called Cephas, (which denotes the same as Peter.)
and he brought him to Jeshu. And Jeshu saw him, and said, Thou art Shemun bar Jona; thou shalt be called Kipha.
43 The next day, he resolved to go to Galilee, and meeting Philip, said to him, Follow me.
AND the day following Jeshu willed to go forth into Galila. And he found Philipos, and said to him, Come after me.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Now Philipos was from Beth-tsaida, from the city of Andreas and of Shemun.
45 Philip meets Nathanael, and says to him, We have found the person described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, of Nazareth.
Philipos found Nathanael, and said to him, Him of whom Musha in the law, and the prophets, did write we have found, (and) that Jeshu (is) he, the son of Jauseph who is from Natsrath.
46 Nathanael says to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip answered, Come and see.
Saith to him Nathanael, From Natsrath can any good thing be? Philipos saith to him, Come and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said, concerning him, Behold an Israelite, indeed, in whom is no guile.
And Jeshu saw Nathanael as he was coming to him, and said of him, Behold truly a son of Isroel who hath no guile in him.
48 Nathanael said to him, Whence do you know me? Jesus answered, I saw you when you were under the fig tree, before Philip called you.
Nathanael saith to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jeshu saith to him, While yet Philipos had not called thee, while thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael replying, said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.
Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabi, thou art the Son of Aloha himself, thou art the very King of Isroel.
50 Jesus answered him, saying, Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe!
Jeshu saith to him, Upon my telling thee that I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Greater things than these thou shalt see.
51 He added, Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending from the Son of Man, and descending to him.
He saith to him, Amen, amen, I say to you, Hereafter you shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of Aloha ascending and descending unto the Son of man.
