John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Pada mulanya, sebelum dunia dijadikan, Sabda sudah ada. Sabda ada bersama Allah dan Sabda sama dengan Allah.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Sejak semula Ia bersama Allah.
3 All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
Segalanya dijadikan melalui Dia, dan dari segala yang ada, tak satu pun dijadikan tanpa Dia.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
Sabda itu sumber hidup, dan hidup memberi terang kepada manusia.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
Terang itu bercahaya dalam kegelapan, dan kegelapan tak dapat memadamkannya.
6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Datanglah orang yang diutus Allah, Yohanes namanya.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Ia datang mewartakan tentang terang itu, supaya semua orang percaya.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Ia sendiri bukan terang itu, ia hanya mewartakannya.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Terang sejati yang menerangi semua manusia, datang ke dunia.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
Sabda ada di dunia, dunia dijadikan melalui Dia, tetapi dunia tidak mengenal-Nya.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
Ia datang ke negeri-Nya sendiri tetapi bangsa-Nya tidak menerima Dia.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,
Namun ada juga orang yang menerima Dia dan percaya kepada-Nya; mereka diberi-Nya hak menjadi anak Allah,
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
yang dilahirkan bukan dari manusia, sebab hidup baru itu dari Allah asalnya.
14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Sabda sudah menjadi manusia, Ia tinggal di antara kita, dan kita sudah melihat keagungan-Nya. Keagungan itu diterima-Nya sebagai Anak tunggal Bapa. Melalui Dia kita melihat Allah dan kasih-Nya kepada kita.
15 John testified about him and shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
Yohanes datang sebagai saksi-Nya, ia mewartakan: "Inilah Dia yang kukatakan: Dia akan datang lebih kemudian dari aku, tetapi lebih besar dari aku, sebab sebelum aku ada, Dia sudah ada."
16 For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
Ia penuh kasih; tiada hentinya, Ia memberkati kita.
17 For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Hukum Tuhan kita terima melalui Musa. Tetapi kasih dan kesetiaan Allah dinyatakan melalui Yesus Kristus.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
Tak ada yang pernah melihat Allah, selain anak tunggal Bapa, yang sama dengan Bapa dan erat sekali kepada-Nya. Dialah yang menyatakan Bapa kepada kita.
19 And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
Para penguasa Yahudi di Yerusalem menyuruh imam-imam dan orang-orang Lewi pergi kepada Yohanes dan menanyakan kepadanya, "Engkau ini siapa?"
20 And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Christ."
Yohanes mengaku dengan terus terang, "Saya bukan Raja Penyelamat."
21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
"Kalau begitu, engkau siapa?" tanya mereka. "Apakah engkau Elia?" "Bukan," jawab Yohanes. "Apakah engkau Sang Nabi?" tanya mereka lagi. "Bukan," jawabnya.
22 They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
"Kalau begitu, katakanlah kepada kami siapa engkau ini," kata mereka, "supaya kami dapat memberi jawaban kepada orang-orang yang menyuruh kami. Apa katamu tentang dirimu sendiri?"
23 He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
Yohanes menjawab, "Sayalah dia yang dikatakan oleh Nabi Yesaya: 'Orang yang berseru di padang pasir: Ratakanlah jalan untuk Tuhan.'"
24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
Orang-orang yang diutus oleh orang Farisi
25 And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
bertanya, "Kalau engkau bukan Raja Penyelamat, bukan Elia, bukan juga Sang Nabi, mengapa engkau membaptis?"
26 John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
Yohanes menjawab, "Saya membaptis dengan air. Tetapi di tengah-tengah kalian ada orang yang tidak kalian kenal.
27 He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
Ia datang lebih kemudian dari saya, tetapi untuk membuka tali sepatu-Nya pun saya tidak layak."
28 These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Semuanya itu terjadi di Betania, sebelah timur Sungai Yordan tempat Yohanes membaptis.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
Keesokan harinya, Yohanes melihat Yesus datang kepadanya. Lalu Yohanes berkata, "Lihat, itulah Anak Domba Allah yang menghapus dosa dunia.
30 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
Dialah yang saya katakan akan datang kemudian dari saya, tetapi lebih besar dari saya, sebab sebelum saya lahir, Dia sudah ada.
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
Sebelumnya, saya tidak tahu siapa Dia itu. Padahal saya datang membaptis dengan air supaya bangsa Israel mengenal Dia."
32 And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
Yohanes juga memberi kesaksian ini, "Saya melihat Roh Allah turun seperti merpati dari langit lalu tinggal di atas-Nya.
33 And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
Waktu itu saya belum tahu siapa Dia. Tetapi Allah yang menyuruh saya membaptis dengan air sudah berkata kepada saya, 'Bila engkau melihat Roh Allah turun, lalu tinggal di atas seseorang, Dialah yang akan membaptis dengan Roh Allah.'
34 And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
Saya sudah melihat-Nya sendiri," kata Yohanes, "dan saya memberi kesaksian bahwa Dialah Anak Allah."
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
Keesokan harinya Yohanes ada di tempat itu lagi dengan dua pengikutnya.
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
Ketika ia melihat Yesus lewat, ia berkata, "Lihat! Itulah Anak Domba Allah."
37 And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
Kedua pengikut Yohanes mendengar kata-kata itu, lalu pergi mengikuti Yesus.
38 And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
Yesus menoleh ke belakang, dan melihat mereka sedang mengikuti Dia. Ia bertanya, "Kalian mencari apa?" Jawab mereka, "Rabi, di manakah Rabi tinggal?" (Kata 'Rabi' artinya guru.)
39 He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
"Mari lihat sendiri," kata Yesus. Mereka pergi dengan Dia dan melihat di mana Ia tinggal. Waktu itu pukul empat sore. Hari itu mereka tinggal bersama Dia.
40 One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Salah satu dari kedua orang yang telah mendengar apa yang dikatakan Yohanes dan kemudian pergi mengikuti Yesus, adalah Andreas, saudara Simon Petrus.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Christ).
Cepat-cepat Andreas mencari Simon, saudaranya, dan berkata kepadanya, "Kami sudah bertemu dengan Mesias!" (Mesias sama dengan Kristus, yaitu: Raja Penyelamat.)
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, Peter).
Andreas mengantar Simon kepada Yesus. Yesus menatap Simon, lalu berkata, "Engkau Simon, anak Yona. Engkau akan disebut Kefas." (Kefas sama dengan Petrus, artinya: gunung batu.)
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
Keesokan harinya Yesus memutuskan untuk pergi ke Galilea. Ia berjumpa dengan Filipus, dan berkata kepadanya, "Mari ikut Aku!"
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filipus berasal dari Betsaida, yaitu tempat tinggal Andreas dan Petrus.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
Filipus bertemu dengan Natanael dan berkata kepadanya, "Kami sudah menemukan orang yang disebut oleh Musa dalam Buku Hukum Allah, dan yang diwartakan oleh nabi-nabi. Dia itu Yesus dari Nazaret, anak Yusuf."
46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
Tetapi Natanael menjawab, "Mungkinkah sesuatu yang baik datang dari Nazaret?" "Mari lihat sendiri," jawab Filipus.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
Yesus melihat Natanael datang, lalu berkata tentang dia, "Lihat, itu orang Israel sejati. Tak ada kepalsuan padanya."
48 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
"Bagaimana Bapak mengenal saya?" tanya Natanael kepada Yesus. Yesus menjawab, "Sebelum Filipus memanggilmu, Aku sudah melihat engkau di bawah pohon ara itu."
49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
"Bapak Guru," kata Natanael, "Bapak adalah Anak Allah! Bapaklah Raja bangsa Israel!"
50 Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
Yesus berkata, "Engkau percaya, hanya karena Aku mengatakan bahwa Aku sudah melihat engkau di bawah pohon ara itu? Hal-hal yang jauh lebih besar dari itu akan kaulihat!"
51 And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
Kata Yesus pula, "Sungguh, percayalah, engkau akan melihat langit terbuka, dan malaikat-malaikat Allah naik turun pada Anak Manusia."
