John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Tamin’ ny voalohany ny Teny, ary ny Teny tao amin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Teny dia Andriamanitra.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Izy dia tao amin’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny voalohany.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
Izy no nahariana ny zavatra rehetra; ary raha tsy Izy dia tsy nisy nahariana izao zavatra ary izao, na dia iray aza.
4 In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
Izy no nisiam-piainana; ary ny fiainana no fanazavana ny olona.
5 And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
Ary ny mazava dia mamirapiratra ao amin’ ny maizina; fa ny maizina tsy nandray azy.
6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Nisy lehilahy nirahin’ Andriamanitra, Jaona no anarany.
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
Izy tonga ho vavolombelona hanambara ny Mazava, mba hinoan’ ny olona rehetra noho ny teniny.
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
Tsy izy anefa no Ilay Mazava, fa tonga ho vavolombelona hanambara ny Mazava ihany izy.
9 The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
Tao ny tena Mazava Izay mahazava ny olona rehetra tonga amin’ izao tontolo izao.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
Teo amin’ izao tontolo izao Izy, ary Izy no nanaovana izao tontolo izao, nefa izao tontolo izao tsy nahalala Azy.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Tonga tany amin’ ny Azy Izy, fa ny Azy tsy nandray Azy.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, —to those who believed in his name;
Fa izay rehetra nandray Azy dia nomeny hery ho tonga zanak’ Andriamanitra, dia izay mino ny anarany,
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
dia ireo izay tsy nateraky ny rà, na ny sitrapon’ ny nofo, na ny sitrapon’ ny olona, fa naterak’ Andriamanitra.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only begotten of a father.
Ary ny Teny dia tonga nofo ka nonina tamintsika; ary hitanay ny voninahiny, dia voninahitra miendrika ho an’ ny Lahitokana avy tamin’ ny Ray, sady feno fahasoavana sy fahamarinana.
15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me hath gone before me; for he was before me.
Jaona nanambara Azy ka niantso hoe: Izy Ilay nolazaiko hoe: Izay avy
16 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
Fa tamin’ ny fahafenoany no nandraisantsika rehetra, dia fahasoavana anampy fahasoavana.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Fa ny lalàna dia nomena tamin’ ny alalan’ i Mosesy; fa ny fahasoavana sy ny fahamarinana kosa dia tonga tamin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy.
18 No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
Tsy nisy nahita an’ Andriamanitra na oviana na oviana; fa ny Zanakalahy Tokana, Izay ao an-tratran’ ny Ray, Izy no nanambara Azy.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
Ary izao no nambaran’ i Jaona, raha ny Jiosy naniraka mpisorona sy Levita avy tany Jerosalema hankany aminy mba hanontany azy hoe: Iza moa ianao?
20 And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.
Ary nilaza marina izy ka tsy nandà, fa hoy ny filàzany: Tsy izaho no Kristy.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
Ary izy ireo nanontany azy hoe: Ahoana ary? Elia va ianao? Fa hoy izy: Tsy izy aho. Ilay Mpaminany va ianao? Fa izy namaly hoe: Tsia.
22 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what sayest thou of thyself?
Dia hoy ireo taminy: Iza ary ianao? mba hitondranay valiny ho any amin’ izay naniraka anay. Lazainao ho iza moa ny tenanao?
23 He said, I am “a voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord,” as said Isaiah the prophet.
Dia hoy izy: Izaho dia feon’ ny miantso mafy any an-efitra hoe: Ataovy mahitsy ny lalan’ i Jehovah, araka izay nolazain’ Isaia mpaminany.
24 And they were sent from the Pharisees;
Ary iraka avy tamin’ ny Fariseo ireo.
25 and they asked him and said to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
Dia nanontany azy ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ary ianao no manao batisa raha tsy ianao no Kristy, na Elia, na Ilay Mpaminany?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
Jaona namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Izaho manao batisa amin’ ny rano; fa eto aminareo misy Anankiray Izay tsy fantatrareo,
27 he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
dia Ilay avy ao aoriako, ary tsy miendrika hamaha ny fehin-kapany aza aho.
28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Izany zavatra izany dia natao tany Betania any an-dafin’ i Jordana, izay nanaovan’ i Jaona batisa.
29 The next day he seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!
Nony ampitso dia nahita an’ i Jesosy avy manatona azy Jaona, ka dia hoy izy: Indro ny Zanak’ ondrin’ Andriamanitra, Izay manaisotra ny fahotan’ izao tontolo izao!
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
Izy Ilay nolazaiko hoe: Misy Lehilahy avy ao aoriako Izay efa tonga eo alohako, satria talohako Izy.
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
Ary izaho tsy nahalala Azy; fa mba haseho amin’ ny Isiraely Izy, izany no nihaviako manao batisa amin’ ny rano.
32 And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
Ary Jaona nanambara ka nanao hoe: Izaho nahita ny Fanahy midìna avy any an-danitra tahaka ny voro-mailala ka nitoetra teo amboniny.
33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
Ary izaho tsy nahalala Azy; fa Izay naniraka ahy hanao batisa amin’ ny rano no nilaza tamiko hoe: Izay ho hitanao idinan’ ny Fanahy sy itoerany, dia Izy no Mpanao batisa amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna.
34 And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
Ary nahita aho, ka dia nanambara fa Izy no Zanak’ Andriamanitra.
35 On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
Nony ampitson’ iny indray dia nijanona Jaona sy ny mpianany roa lahy;
36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
ary nijery an’ i Jesosy nitsangantsangana izy ka nanao hoe: Indro ny Zanak’ ondrin’ Andriamanitra!
37 The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Ary ireo mpianatra roa lahy ireo, rehefa nandre azy niteny, dia nanaraka an’ i Jesosy.
38 Jesus turning and seeing them following, saith to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi, (that is to say, when interpreted, Teacher, ) where dost thou dwell?
Ary Jesosy nitodika ka nahita azy manaraka, dia nanao taminy hoe: Inona no tadiavinareo? Ary hoy izy roa lahy taminy: Raby (izay atao hoe, raha adika, Mpampianatra ô), aiza Hianao no mitoetra?
39 He saith to them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he dwelt; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
Hoy Izy taminy: Avia, fa ho hitanareo. Koa dia nandeha izy ka nahita izay nitoerany ary nitoetra teo aminy tamin’ izany andro izany; ary efa tokony ho ora fahafolo tamin’ izay.
40 One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Andrea, rahalahin’ i Simona Petera, no anankiray tamin’ izy roa lahy, izay nandre ny tenin’ i Jaona ka nanaraka an’ i Jesosy.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)
Izy no nahita an’ i Simona rahalahiny aloha, dia hoy izy taminy: Efa nahita ny Mesia izahay (izay atso hoe, raha adika, ny Kristy).
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking upon him said, Thou art Simon, the son of John; thou shalt be called Cephas; (which signifieth Peter, that is, Rock.)
Dia nitondra azy ho any amin’ i Jesosy izy. Ary nony nijery azy Jesosy, dia hoy Izy: Hianao no Simona, zanak’ i Jaona; ianao hatao hoe Kefasy (izay atao hoe, raha adika, Petera)
43 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
Nony ampitso dia te-hiala ho any Galilia Jesosy, ary nahita an’ i Filipo Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Manaraha Ahy.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Ary Filipo dia avy any Betsaida, tanànan’ i Andrea sy Petera.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.
Filipo kosa nahita an’ i Natanaela ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa hitanay Ilay nosoratan’ i Mosesy tao amin’ ny lalàna, sy nosoratan’ ny mpaminany, dia Jesosy, zanak’ i Josefa, avy any Nazareta.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
Ary hoy Natanaela taminy: Moa mba misy zava-tsoa va avy any Nazareta? Dia hoy Filipo taminy: Andeha hizaha.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
Jesosy nahita an’ i Natanaela avy manatona Azy, dia nilaza azy hoe: Indro ny tena Isiraelita tsy misy fitaka.
48 Nathanael saith to him, Whence dost thou know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
Hoy Natanaela taminy: Ahoana no ahafantaranao ahy? Dia namaly Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Fony tsy mbola niantso anao Filipo, dia hitako teo ambanin’ ny aviavy ianao.
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.
Dia namaly Natanaela ka nanao hoe: Raby ô, Hianao no Zanak’ Andriamanitra; Hianao no Mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Moa ny nilazako taminao va fa hitako teo ambanin’ ny aviavy ianao no inoanao? Hahita zavatra lehibe noho izany ianao.
51 And he saith to him, Truly, truly do I say to you, Ye will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Ho hitanareo ny lanitra misokatra sy ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra miakatra sy midìna eo ambonin’ ny Zanak’ olona.
