< John 1 >

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
आदौ वाद आसीत् स च वाद ईश्वरेण सार्धमासीत् स वादः स्वयमीश्वर एव।
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
स आदावीश्वरेण सहासीत्।
3 All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
तेन सर्व्वं वस्तु ससृजे सर्व्वेषु सृष्टवस्तुषु किमपि वस्तु तेनासृष्टं नास्ति।
4 In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
स जीवनस्याकारः, तच्च जीवनं मनुष्याणां ज्योतिः
5 And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
तज्ज्योतिरन्धकारे प्रचकाशे किन्त्वन्धकारस्तन्न जग्राह।
6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
योहन् नामक एको मनुज ईश्वरेण प्रेषयाञ्चक्रे।
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
तद्वारा यथा सर्व्वे विश्वसन्ति तदर्थं स तज्ज्योतिषि प्रमाणं दातुं साक्षिस्वरूपो भूत्वागमत्,
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
स स्वयं तज्ज्योति र्न किन्तु तज्ज्योतिषि प्रमाणं दातुमागमत्।
9 The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
जगत्यागत्य यः सर्व्वमनुजेभ्यो दीप्तिं ददाति तदेव सत्यज्योतिः।
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
स यज्जगदसृजत् तन्मद्य एव स आसीत् किन्तु जगतो लोकास्तं नाजानन्।
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
निजाधिकारं स आगच्छत् किन्तु प्रजास्तं नागृह्लन्।
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, —to those who believed in his name;
तथापि ये ये तमगृह्लन् अर्थात् तस्य नाम्नि व्यश्वसन् तेभ्य ईश्वरस्य पुत्रा भवितुम् अधिकारम् अददात्।
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
तेषां जनिः शोणितान्न शारीरिकाभिलाषान्न मानवानामिच्छातो न किन्त्वीश्वरादभवत्।
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.
स वादो मनुष्यरूपेणावतीर्य्य सत्यतानुग्रहाभ्यां परिपूर्णः सन् सार्धम् अस्माभि र्न्यवसत् ततः पितुरद्वितीयपुत्रस्य योग्यो यो महिमा तं महिमानं तस्यापश्याम।
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.
ततो योहनपि प्रचार्य्य साक्ष्यमिदं दत्तवान् यो मम पश्चाद् आगमिष्यति स मत्तो गुरुतरः; यतो मत्पूर्व्वं स विद्यमान आसीत्; यदर्थम् अहं साक्ष्यमिदम् अदां स एषः।
16 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
अपरञ्च तस्य पूर्णताया वयं सर्व्वे क्रमशः क्रमशोनुग्रहं प्राप्ताः।
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
मूसाद्वारा व्यवस्था दत्ता किन्त्वनुग्रहः सत्यत्वञ्च यीशुख्रीष्टद्वारा समुपातिष्ठतां।
18 No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
कोपि मनुज ईश्वरं कदापि नापश्यत् किन्तु पितुः क्रोडस्थोऽद्वितीयः पुत्रस्तं प्रकाशयत्।
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
त्वं कः? इति वाक्यं प्रेष्टुं यदा यिहूदीयलोका याजकान् लेविलोकांश्च यिरूशालमो योहनः समीपे प्रेषयामासुः,
20 And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.
तदा स स्वीकृतवान् नापह्नूतवान् नाहम् अभिषिक्त इत्यङ्गीकृतवान्।
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
तदा तेऽपृच्छन् तर्हि को भवान्? किं एलियः? सोवदत् न; ततस्तेऽपृच्छन् तर्हि भवान् स भविष्यद्वादी? सोवदत् नाहं सः।
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?
तदा तेऽपृच्छन् तर्हि भवान् कः? वयं गत्वा प्रेरकान् त्वयि किं वक्ष्यामः? स्वस्मिन् किं वदसि?
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.
तदा सोवदत्। परमेशस्य पन्थानं परिष्कुरुत सर्व्वतः। इतीदं प्रान्तरे वाक्यं वदतः कस्यचिद्रवः। कथामिमां यस्मिन् यिशयियो भविष्यद्वादी लिखितवान् सोहम्।
24 And they were sent from the Pharisees;
ये प्रेषितास्ते फिरूशिलोकाः।
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?
तदा तेऽपृच्छन् यदि नाभिषिक्तोसि एलियोसि न स भविष्यद्वाद्यपि नासि च, तर्हि लोकान् मज्जयसि कुतः?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
ततो योहन् प्रत्यवोचत्, तोयेऽहं मज्जयामीति सत्यं किन्तु यं यूयं न जानीथ तादृश एको जनो युष्माकं मध्य उपतिष्ठति।
27 he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
स मत्पश्चाद् आगतोपि मत्पूर्व्वं वर्त्तमान आसीत् तस्य पादुकाबन्धनं मोचयितुमपि नाहं योग्योस्मि।
28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
यर्द्दननद्याः पारस्थबैथबारायां यस्मिन्स्थाने योहनमज्जयत् तस्मिन स्थाने सर्व्वमेतद् अघटत।
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!
परेऽहनि योहन् स्वनिकटमागच्छन्तं यिशुं विलोक्य प्रावोचत् जगतः पापमोचकम् ईश्वरस्य मेषशावकं पश्यत।
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
यो मम पश्चादागमिष्यति स मत्तो गुरुतरः, यतो हेतोर्मत्पूर्व्वं सोऽवर्त्तत यस्मिन्नहं कथामिमां कथितवान् स एवायं।
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
अपरं नाहमेनं प्रत्यभिज्ञातवान् किन्तु इस्रायेल्लोका एनं यथा परिचिन्वन्ति तदभिप्रायेणाहं जले मज्जयितुमागच्छम्।
32 And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
पुनश्च योहनपरमेकं प्रमाणं दत्वा कथितवान् विहायसः कपोतवद् अवतरन्तमात्मानम् अस्योपर्य्यवतिष्ठन्तं च दृष्टवानहम्।
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.
नाहमेनं प्रत्यभिज्ञातवान् इति सत्यं किन्तु यो जले मज्जयितुं मां प्रैरयत् स एवेमां कथामकथयत् यस्योपर्य्यात्मानम् अवतरन्तम् अवतिष्ठन्तञ्च द्रक्षयसि सएव पवित्रे आत्मनि मज्जयिष्यति।
34 And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
अवस्तन्निरीक्ष्यायम् ईश्वरस्य तनय इति प्रमाणं ददामि।
35 On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
परेऽहनि योहन् द्वाभ्यां शिष्याभ्यां सार्द्धें तिष्ठन्
36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
यिशुं गच्छन्तं विलोक्य गदितवान्, ईश्वरस्य मेषशावकं पश्यतं।
37 The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
इमां कथां श्रुत्वा द्वौ शिष्यौ यीशोः पश्चाद् ईयतुः।
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?
ततो यीशुः परावृत्य तौ पश्चाद् आगच्छन्तौ दृष्ट्वा पृष्टवान् युवां किं गवेशयथः? तावपृच्छतां हे रब्बि अर्थात् हे गुरो भवान् कुत्र तिष्ठति?
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.
ततः सोवादित् एत्य पश्यतं। ततो दिवसस्य तृतीयप्रहरस्य गतत्वात् तौ तद्दिनं तस्य सङ्गेऽस्थातां।
40 One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
यौ द्वौ योहनो वाक्यं श्रुत्वा यिशोः पश्चाद् आगमतां तयोः शिमोन्पितरस्य भ्राता आन्द्रियः
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)
स इत्वा प्रथमं निजसोदरं शिमोनं साक्षात्प्राप्य कथितवान् वयं ख्रीष्टम् अर्थात् अभिषिक्तपुरुषं साक्षात्कृतवन्तः।
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.)
पश्चात् स तं यिशोः समीपम् आनयत्। तदा यीशुस्तं दृष्ट्वावदत् त्वं यूनसः पुत्रः शिमोन् किन्तु त्वन्नामधेयं कैफाः वा पितरः अर्थात् प्रस्तरो भविष्यति।
43 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
परेऽहनि यीशौ गालीलं गन्तुं निश्चितचेतसि सति फिलिपनामानं जनं साक्षात्प्राप्यावोचत् मम पश्चाद् आगच्छ।
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
बैत्सैदानाम्नि यस्मिन् ग्रामे पितरान्द्रिययोर्वास आसीत् तस्मिन् ग्रामे तस्य फिलिपस्य वसतिरासीत्।
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.
पश्चात् फिलिपो निथनेलं साक्षात्प्राप्यावदत् मूसा व्यवस्था ग्रन्थे भविष्यद्वादिनां ग्रन्थेषु च यस्याख्यानं लिखितमास्ते तं यूषफः पुत्रं नासरतीयं यीशुं साक्षाद् अकार्ष्म वयं।
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
तदा निथनेल् कथितवान् नासरन्नगरात किं कश्चिदुत्तम उत्पन्तुं शक्नोति? ततः फिलिपो ऽवोचत् एत्य पश्य।
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
अपरञ्च यीशुः स्वस्य समीपं तम् आगच्छन्तं दृष्ट्वा व्याहृतवान्, पश्यायं निष्कपटः सत्य इस्रायेल्लोकः।
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.
ततः सोवदद्, भवान् मां कथं प्रत्यभिजानाति? यीशुरवादीत् फिलिपस्य आह्वानात् पूर्व्वं यदा त्वमुडुम्बरस्य तरोर्मूलेऽस्थास्तदा त्वामदर्शम्।
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.
निथनेल् अचकथत्, हे गुरो भवान् नितान्तम् ईश्वरस्य पुत्रोसि, भवान् इस्रायेल्वंशस्य राजा।
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.
ततो यीशु र्व्याहरत्, त्वामुडुम्बरस्य पादपस्य मूले दृष्टवानाहं ममैतस्माद्वाक्यात् किं त्वं व्यश्वसीः? एतस्मादप्याश्चर्य्याणि कार्य्याणि द्रक्ष्यसि।
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.
अन्यच्चावादीद् युष्मानहं यथार्थं वदामि, इतः परं मोचिते मेघद्वारे तस्मान्मनुजसूनुना ईश्वरस्य दूतगणम् अवरोहन्तमारोहन्तञ्च द्रक्ष्यथ।
