John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
ādau vāda āsīt sa ca vāda īśvarēṇa sārdhamāsīt sa vādaḥ svayamīśvara ēva|
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
sa ādāvīśvarēṇa sahāsīt|
3 All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
tēna sarvvaṁ vastu sasr̥jē sarvvēṣu sr̥ṣṭavastuṣu kimapi vastu tēnāsr̥ṣṭaṁ nāsti|
4 In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
sa jīvanasyākāraḥ, tacca jīvanaṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ jyōtiḥ
5 And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
tajjyōtirandhakārē pracakāśē kintvandhakārastanna jagrāha|
6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
yōhan nāmaka ēkō manuja īśvarēṇa prēṣayāñcakrē|
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
tadvārā yathā sarvvē viśvasanti tadarthaṁ sa tajjyōtiṣi pramāṇaṁ dātuṁ sākṣisvarūpō bhūtvāgamat,
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
sa svayaṁ tajjyōti rna kintu tajjyōtiṣi pramāṇaṁ dātumāgamat|
9 The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
jagatyāgatya yaḥ sarvvamanujēbhyō dīptiṁ dadāti tadēva satyajyōtiḥ|
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
sa yajjagadasr̥jat tanmadya ēva sa āsīt kintu jagatō lōkāstaṁ nājānan|
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
nijādhikāraṁ sa āgacchat kintu prajāstaṁ nāgr̥hlan|
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, —to those who believed in his name;
tathāpi yē yē tamagr̥hlan arthāt tasya nāmni vyaśvasan tēbhya īśvarasya putrā bhavitum adhikāram adadāt|
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
tēṣāṁ janiḥ śōṇitānna śārīrikābhilāṣānna mānavānāmicchātō na kintvīśvarādabhavat|
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.
sa vādō manuṣyarūpēṇāvatīryya satyatānugrahābhyāṁ paripūrṇaḥ san sārdham asmābhi rnyavasat tataḥ pituradvitīyaputrasya yōgyō yō mahimā taṁ mahimānaṁ tasyāpaśyāma|
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.
tatō yōhanapi pracāryya sākṣyamidaṁ dattavān yō mama paścād āgamiṣyati sa mattō gurutaraḥ; yatō matpūrvvaṁ sa vidyamāna āsīt; yadartham ahaṁ sākṣyamidam adāṁ sa ēṣaḥ|
16 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
aparañca tasya pūrṇatāyā vayaṁ sarvvē kramaśaḥ kramaśōnugrahaṁ prāptāḥ|
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
mūsādvārā vyavasthā dattā kintvanugrahaḥ satyatvañca yīśukhrīṣṭadvārā samupātiṣṭhatāṁ|
18 No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
kōpi manuja īśvaraṁ kadāpi nāpaśyat kintu pituḥ krōḍasthō'dvitīyaḥ putrastaṁ prakāśayat|
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
tvaṁ kaḥ? iti vākyaṁ prēṣṭuṁ yadā yihūdīyalōkā yājakān lēvilōkāṁśca yirūśālamō yōhanaḥ samīpē prēṣayāmāsuḥ,
20 And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.
tadā sa svīkr̥tavān nāpahnūtavān nāham abhiṣikta ityaṅgīkr̥tavān|
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
tadā tē'pr̥cchan tarhi kō bhavān? kiṁ ēliyaḥ? sōvadat na; tatastē'pr̥cchan tarhi bhavān sa bhaviṣyadvādī? sōvadat nāhaṁ saḥ|
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?
tadā tē'pr̥cchan tarhi bhavān kaḥ? vayaṁ gatvā prērakān tvayi kiṁ vakṣyāmaḥ? svasmin kiṁ vadasi?
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.
tadā sōvadat| paramēśasya panthānaṁ pariṣkuruta sarvvataḥ| itīdaṁ prāntarē vākyaṁ vadataḥ kasyacidravaḥ| kathāmimāṁ yasmin yiśayiyō bhaviṣyadvādī likhitavān sōham|
24 And they were sent from the Pharisees;
yē prēṣitāstē phirūśilōkāḥ|
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?
tadā tē'pr̥cchan yadi nābhiṣiktōsi ēliyōsi na sa bhaviṣyadvādyapi nāsi ca, tarhi lōkān majjayasi kutaḥ?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
tatō yōhan pratyavōcat, tōyē'haṁ majjayāmīti satyaṁ kintu yaṁ yūyaṁ na jānītha tādr̥śa ēkō janō yuṣmākaṁ madhya upatiṣṭhati|
27 he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
sa matpaścād āgatōpi matpūrvvaṁ varttamāna āsīt tasya pādukābandhanaṁ mōcayitumapi nāhaṁ yōgyōsmi|
28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
yarddananadyāḥ pārasthabaithabārāyāṁ yasminsthānē yōhanamajjayat tasmina sthānē sarvvamētad aghaṭata|
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!
parē'hani yōhan svanikaṭamāgacchantaṁ yiśuṁ vilōkya prāvōcat jagataḥ pāpamōcakam īśvarasya mēṣaśāvakaṁ paśyata|
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
yō mama paścādāgamiṣyati sa mattō gurutaraḥ, yatō hētōrmatpūrvvaṁ sō'varttata yasminnahaṁ kathāmimāṁ kathitavān sa ēvāyaṁ|
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
aparaṁ nāhamēnaṁ pratyabhijñātavān kintu isrāyēllōkā ēnaṁ yathā paricinvanti tadabhiprāyēṇāhaṁ jalē majjayitumāgaccham|
32 And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
punaśca yōhanaparamēkaṁ pramāṇaṁ datvā kathitavān vihāyasaḥ kapōtavad avatarantamātmānam asyōparyyavatiṣṭhantaṁ ca dr̥ṣṭavānaham|
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.
nāhamēnaṁ pratyabhijñātavān iti satyaṁ kintu yō jalē majjayituṁ māṁ prairayat sa ēvēmāṁ kathāmakathayat yasyōparyyātmānam avatarantam avatiṣṭhantañca drakṣayasi saēva pavitrē ātmani majjayiṣyati|
34 And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
avastannirīkṣyāyam īśvarasya tanaya iti pramāṇaṁ dadāmi|
35 On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
parē'hani yōhan dvābhyāṁ śiṣyābhyāṁ sārddhēṁ tiṣṭhan
36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
yiśuṁ gacchantaṁ vilōkya gaditavān, īśvarasya mēṣaśāvakaṁ paśyataṁ|
37 The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
imāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā dvau śiṣyau yīśōḥ paścād īyatuḥ|
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?
tatō yīśuḥ parāvr̥tya tau paścād āgacchantau dr̥ṣṭvā pr̥ṣṭavān yuvāṁ kiṁ gavēśayathaḥ? tāvapr̥cchatāṁ hē rabbi arthāt hē gurō bhavān kutra tiṣṭhati?
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.
tataḥ sōvādit ētya paśyataṁ| tatō divasasya tr̥tīyapraharasya gatatvāt tau taddinaṁ tasya saṅgē'sthātāṁ|
40 One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
yau dvau yōhanō vākyaṁ śrutvā yiśōḥ paścād āgamatāṁ tayōḥ śimōnpitarasya bhrātā āndriyaḥ
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)
sa itvā prathamaṁ nijasōdaraṁ śimōnaṁ sākṣātprāpya kathitavān vayaṁ khrīṣṭam arthāt abhiṣiktapuruṣaṁ sākṣātkr̥tavantaḥ|
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.)
paścāt sa taṁ yiśōḥ samīpam ānayat| tadā yīśustaṁ dr̥ṣṭvāvadat tvaṁ yūnasaḥ putraḥ śimōn kintu tvannāmadhēyaṁ kaiphāḥ vā pitaraḥ arthāt prastarō bhaviṣyati|
43 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
parē'hani yīśau gālīlaṁ gantuṁ niścitacētasi sati philipanāmānaṁ janaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvōcat mama paścād āgaccha|
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
baitsaidānāmni yasmin grāmē pitarāndriyayōrvāsa āsīt tasmin grāmē tasya philipasya vasatirāsīt|
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.
paścāt philipō nithanēlaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvadat mūsā vyavasthā granthē bhaviṣyadvādināṁ granthēṣu ca yasyākhyānaṁ likhitamāstē taṁ yūṣaphaḥ putraṁ nāsaratīyaṁ yīśuṁ sākṣād akārṣma vayaṁ|
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
tadā nithanēl kathitavān nāsarannagarāta kiṁ kaściduttama utpantuṁ śaknōti? tataḥ philipō 'vōcat ētya paśya|
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
aparañca yīśuḥ svasya samīpaṁ tam āgacchantaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā vyāhr̥tavān, paśyāyaṁ niṣkapaṭaḥ satya isrāyēllōkaḥ|
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.
tataḥ sōvadad, bhavān māṁ kathaṁ pratyabhijānāti? yīśuravādīt philipasya āhvānāt pūrvvaṁ yadā tvamuḍumbarasya tarōrmūlē'sthāstadā tvāmadarśam|
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.
nithanēl acakathat, hē gurō bhavān nitāntam īśvarasya putrōsi, bhavān isrāyēlvaṁśasya rājā|
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.
tatō yīśu rvyāharat, tvāmuḍumbarasya pādapasya mūlē dr̥ṣṭavānāhaṁ mamaitasmādvākyāt kiṁ tvaṁ vyaśvasīḥ? ētasmādapyāścaryyāṇi kāryyāṇi drakṣyasi|
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.
anyaccāvādīd yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, itaḥ paraṁ mōcitē mēghadvārē tasmānmanujasūnunā īśvarasya dūtagaṇam avarōhantamārōhantañca drakṣyatha|
