John 1
1 In the beginning the Word was; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God.
Alguses oli Sõna juba olemas. Sõna oli Jumala juures ja Sõna oli Jumal.
2 He was in the beginning with God;
Alguses oli ta Jumala juures.
3 through him all things came into being, and nothing came into being apart from him.
Kõik on tekkinud tema kaudu; ilma temata ei ole tekkinud midagi.
4 That which came into being in him was life; and the life was the light of humanity;
Temas oli elu, see elu, mis on kõigi valgus.
5 and the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness never overpowered it.
Valgus paistab pimedusse ja pimedus ei ole seda kustutanud.
6 There appeared a man sent from God, whose name was John;
Jumal saatis mehe nimega Johannes.
7 he came as a witness – to bear witness to the light so that through him everyone might believe.
Ta tuli tunnistajana selgitama valgust, et kõik võiksid tema kaudu uskuda.
8 He was not the light, but he came to bear witness to the light.
Tema ise ei olnud valgus, vaid ta tuli valgusest tunnistama.
9 That was the true light which enlightens everyone coming into the world.
Tõeline valgus oli tulemas maailma, et valgustada kõiki.
10 He was in the world; and through him the world came into being – yet the world did not know him.
Ta oli maailmas, ja kuigi maailm oli tehtud tema kaudu, ei tundud maailm, kes ta on.
11 He came to his own – yet his own did not receive him.
Ta tuli omade juurde, kuid nad ei võtnud teda omaks.
12 But to all who did receive him he gave power to become children of God – to those who believe in his name.
Kuid kõigile neile, kes ta vastu võtsid ja temasse uskusid, andis ta õiguse saada Jumala lapseks.
13 For not to natural conception, nor to human instincts, nor to human will did they owe the new life, but to God.
Need lapsed ei ole sündinud tavalisel moel, mitte inimese soovi või isa otsuse tulemusena, vaid nad on sündinud Jumalast.
14 And the Word became human, and lived among us, (We saw his glory – the glory of the Only Son sent from the Father), full of love and truth.
Sõna sai inimeseks ja elas meie keskel ning me nägime tema au, Isa ühe ja ainsa Poja au, täis armu ja tõde.
15 (John bears witness to him; he cried aloud – for it was he who spoke – “He who is coming after me is now before me, for he was ever first”);
Johannes tunnistas temast, hüüdes rahvale: „See on tema, kellest ma teile rääkisin, kui ütlesin: „See, kes tuleb pärast mind, on minust tähtsam, sest tema oli olemas juba enne mind.““
16 out of his fullness we have all received gift after gift of love;
Me kõik oleme saanud osa tema heldusest, ühe armulise kingi teise järel.
17 for the Law was given through Moses, love and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Seadus anti Moosese kaudu; arm ja tõde tulid Jeesuse Kristuse kaudu.
18 No one has ever yet seen God; God the only Son, who is ever with the Father – he has revealed him.
Kuigi keegi ei ole eales Jumalat näinud, on üks ja ainus Jumal, kes on Isa lähedal, näidanud meile, missugune on Jumal.
19 When the religious authorities in Jerusalem sent some Priests and Levites to ask John – “Who are you?”,
Seda teatas Johannes avalikult, kui juudi juhid saatsid Jeruusalemmast preestreid ja leviite temalt küsima: „Kes sa oled?“
20 he told them clearly and simply, “I am not the Christ.”
Johannes kuulutas lihtsalt ja selgelt, ilma kõhklemata: „Ma ei ole Messias.“
21 “What then?” they asked. “Are you Elijah?” “No,” he said, “I am not.” “Are you ‘the prophet’?” He answered, “No.”
„Kes sa siis oled?“küsisid nad. „Kas Eelija?“„Ei, ei ole, “vastas ta. „Kas sa oled see prohvet?“„Ei, “kostis ta.
22 “Who then are you?” they continued. “Tell us so that we have an answer to give to those who have sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
„Kes sa siis oled?“küsisid nad. „Me peame andma vastuse neile, kes meid saatsid. Mida sa enda kohta ütled?“
23 “I,” he answered, “am – ‘The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: make a straight road for the Lord’, as the prophet Isaiah said.”
„Ma olen hääl, mis hüüab kõrbes: „Tehke Issanda tee sirgeks!““ütles ta prohvet Jesaja sõnu kasutades.
24 These men had been sent from the Pharisees;
Variseride saadetud preestrid ja leviidid
25 and their next question was, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ or Elijah or ‘the prophet’?”
küsisid talt: „Miks sa siis ristid, kui sa ei ole Messias, Eelija ega see prohvet?“
26 John’s answer was – “I baptize with water, but among you stands one whom you do not know;
Johannes vastas: „Mina ristin veega, kuid teie keskel seisab see, keda te ei tunne.
27 he is coming after me, yet I am not worthy even to unfasten his sandal.”
Tema tuleb pärast mind, aga ma ei ole väärt isegi tema sandaale lahti päästma.“
28 This happened at Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
See kõik toimus teiselpool Jordanit Betaanias, kus Johannes ristis.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him, and exclaimed, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Järgmisel päeval nägi Johannes Jeesust lähenemas ja ütles: „Vaadake, Jumala Tall, kes võtab ära maailma patu!
30 I was talking about him when I said ‘After me there is coming a man who ranks ahead of me, because before I was born he already was.’
Tema on see, kellest ma rääkisin, kui ütlesin: „Pärast mind tuleb minust tähtsam mees, sest tema oli olemas juba enne mind.“
31 I did not know who he was, but I have come baptizing with water to make him known to Israel.”
Ma ise ei teadnud, kes ta on, kuid mina tulin ristima veega, et tema saaks Iisraelile ilmutatud.“
32 John also said: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven like a dove and rest on him.
Johannes andis tunnistust temast, öeldes: „Ma nägin taevast laskumas Vaimu nagu tuvi ja tema peale jäämas.
33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him – he it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
Ma ei oleks teda tundud, kui see, kes läkitas mind veega ristima, ei oleks mulle öelnud: „See, kelle peale sa näed Vaimu laskumas ja sinna jäämas, on see, kes ristib Püha Vaimuga.“
34 This I have seen myself, and I have declared my belief that he is the Son of God.”
Ma nägin seda toimumas ja kinnitan, et see on Jumala Poeg.“
35 The next day, when John was standing with two of his disciples,
Järgmisel päeval seisis Johannes koos oma kahe jüngriga.
36 he looked at Jesus as he passed and exclaimed, “There is the Lamb of God!”
Ta nägi Jeesust mööda minemas ja ütles: „Vaadake! See on Jumala Tall!“
37 The two disciples heard him say this, and followed Jesus.
Kui kaks jüngrit kuulsid tema sõnu, läksid nad ja järgisid Jeesust.
38 But Jesus turned around, and saw them following. “What are you looking for?” he asked. “Rabbi,” they answered (or, as we should say, ‘Teacher’), “where are you staying?”
Jeesus pöördus ja nägi neid järgnemas. „Mida te otsite?“küsis ta neilt. „Rabi (mis tähendab „Õpetaja“), kus sa peatud?“küsisid nad vastu.
39 “Come, and you will see,” he replied. So they went, and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four in the afternoon.
„Tulge ja vaadake, “ütles ta neile. Nii nad siis läksid koos temaga ja nägid, kus ta peatus. Kell oli umbes neli pärastlõunal, ja nad veetsid ülejäänud päeva temaga koos.
40 One of the two, who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Andreas, Siimon Peetruse vend, oli üks neist kahest jüngrist, kes olid kuulnud, mida Johannes ütles, ja oli Jeesust järginud.
41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (a word which means ‘Christ,’ or ‘Consecrated’.)
Ta läks kohe otsima oma venda Siimonat ja ütles talle: „Me leidsime Messia!“(mis tähendab „Kristus“).
42 Then he brought him to Jesus. Looking straight at him, Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of John; you will be called Cephas” (which means ‘Peter,’ or ‘Rock’).
Ta viis tema Jeesuse juurde. Siimonale otsa vaadates ütles Jeesus: „Sina oled Siimon, Johannese poeg. Aga nüüd hüütakse sind Keefaseks“(mis tähendab „Peetrus“).
43 The following day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip, and said to him, “Follow me.”
Järgmisel päeval otsustas Jeesus minna Galileasse. Jeesus leidis sealt Filippuse ja ütles talle: „Järgne mulle.“
44 Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
Filippus oli pärit Betsaidast, samast linnast, kust Andreas ja Peetruski.
45 He found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and of whom the prophets also wrote – Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph’s son!”
Filippus leidis Naatanaeli ja ütles talle: „Me leidsime tema, kellest Mooses kirjutas seaduses ja ka prohvetid − Naatsaretist pärit Jeesuse, Joosepi poja.“
46 “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” asked Nathanael. “Come and see,” replied Philip.
„Naatsaretist? Kas sealt saab tulla midagi head?“imestas Naatanael. „Lihtsalt tule ja vaata, “vastas Filippus.
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!”
Kui Jeesus nägi Naatanaeli lähenemas, ütles ta tema kohta: „Vaadake, siin on õige iisraellane! Temas ei ole midagi väärat.“
48 “How do you know me?” asked Nathanael. “Even before Philip called you,” replied Jesus, “when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
„Kuidas sa tead, kes ma olen?“küsis Naatanael. „Ma nägin sind seal viigipuu all, enne kui Filippus sind kutsus, “vastas Jeesus.
49 “Rabbi,” Nathanael exclaimed, “you are the Son of God, you are king of Israel!”
„Rabi, sina oled Jumala Poeg, Iisraeli kuningas!“hüüatas Naatanael.
50 “Do you believe in me,” asked Jesus, “because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than those!
„Kas sa usud seda lihtsalt sellepärast, et ma ütlesin sulle, et nägin sind viigipuu all?“ütles Jeesus. „Sa saad näha veel palju rohkem kui see!“
51 In truth I tell you,” he added, “you will all see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
Seejärel lausus Jeesus: „Ma räägin teile tõtt: te kõik näete taeva olevat avatud ja Jumala inglid käimas üles ja alla inimese Poja peal.“
