< John 1 >

1 IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word himself was with Aloha, and Aloha was the Word himself.
ⲁ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ.
2 This was in the beginning with Aloha.
ⲃ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
3 Every thing by his hand was made; and without him also was not one thing made that was made.
ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲧϭⲛⲟⲩϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ.
4 In him was life, and the life is the light of the sons of man;
ⲇ̅ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲡⲉ.
5 and the Light himself in the darkness shineth, and the darkness perceived him not.
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲧⲁϩⲟϥ.
6 There was a man who was sent from Aloha, his name (was) Juchanon.
ⲋ̅ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ.
7 He came for the testimony, to testify concerning the Light, that all men might believe through his ministry.
ⲍ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ.
8 He was not the Light himself, but came to testify concerning the Light.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ.
9 For that was the true Light that enlighteneth every man who cometh into the world.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲁϥϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲙⲏⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
10 In the world was he, and the world by his hand had been made, and the world knew him not.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲟⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
12 But they who received him, he gave to them power, that the sons of Aloha they should become, to those who believe in his name.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲟⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥϯⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ.
13 These, not from blood, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from Aloha, are born.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲙⲁⲥⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
14 And the Word flesh was made, and tabernacled with us; and we saw his glory, the glory as of the one-begotten who (was) from the Father, full of grace and truth.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
15 Juchanon testified concerning him, and cried, and said, This is he of whom I said, that he cometh after me, and was before me, because he is anterior to me.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⳿ϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲓϫⲟϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ.
16 And from his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲛ ⲁⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟϩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧϣⲉⲃⲓⲱ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
17 For the law by the hand of Musha was given; but the truth and the grace were by Jeshu Meshicha.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
18 ALOHA no man hath ever seen: the one-begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲫϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲓⲙⲟⲛⲟⲅⲉⲛⲏ ⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲕⲉⲛϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ.
19 And this was the testimony of Juchanon, when the Jihudoyee sent to him from Urishlem priests and Levoyee to demand of him, Who art thou?
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲏⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲗⲉⲩⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ.
20 And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Meshicha.
ⲕ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϫⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
21 And they asked him again, What then? art thou Elia? And he said, I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he said, No.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ.
22 And they said to him, And who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϫⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲕϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧⲕ.
23 He saith, I am the voice which crieth in the wilderness, Make plain the way of the Lord, as said Eshaia the prophet.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ϯ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲧⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϣⲁϥⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲏⲥⲁ⳿ⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏ ⲧⲏⲥ.
24 But they who were sent were from the Pharishee.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ.
25 And they demanded and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Meshicha, nor Elia, nor the Prophet?
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⳿ⲕϯⲱⲙⲥ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
26 Juchanon answered and said to them, I baptize you with waters; but he standeth among you whom you know not:
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ϥ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
27 he it is who cometh after me, and he was before me; he, the latchets of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϯⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲥⲉⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲑⲱⲟⲩⲓ.
28 These things were done in Bethania, at the passage of the Jurdan, where Juchanon was baptizing.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ϩⲓⲙⲏⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲓⲟⲣⲇⲁⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϯⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
29 AND the day after, Juchanon seeth Jeshu, who was coming to him; and he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha, who beareth the sin of the world!
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲓϩⲓⲏⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
30 This is he concerning whom I said, After me cometh a man, and he was before me, because he is anterior to me.

31 And I knew him not, but that he should be made known unto Isroel, therefore have I come with waters to baptize.

32 And Juchanon testified and said, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven as a dove, and it remained upon him.
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏ ⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϭⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲁϥⲟϩⲓ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ.
33 And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me, He upon whom thou seest the Spirit descend and remain, this baptizeth with the Spirit of Holiness:

34 and I saw, and bare witness that this is the Son of Aloha

35 And the day after Juchanon stood, and two of his disciples;

36 and, contemplating Jeshu as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha!

37 And his two disciples heard him as he spake, and they went after Jeshu.

38 And Jeshu turned (himself), and saw them coming after him, and said to them, Whom seek you? They say to him, Raban, where dwellest thou?

39 He saith to them, Come and see. And they went and saw where he dwelt; and they were with him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.

40 Now one of those who heard Juchanon and went after Jeshu, was Andreas, the brother of Shemun.
ⲙ̅ⲁⲛⲇⲣⲉⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲃ̅ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ.
41 This saw first Shemun his brother, and said to him, We have found the Meshicha;

42 and he brought him to Jeshu. And Jeshu saw him, and said, Thou art Shemun bar Jona; thou shalt be called Kipha.

43 AND the day following Jeshu willed to go forth into Galila. And he found Philipos, and said to him, Come after me.

44 Now Philipos was from Beth-tsaida, from the city of Andreas and of Shemun.

45 Philipos found Nathanael, and said to him, Him of whom Musha in the law, and the prophets, did write we have found, (and) that Jeshu (is) he, the son of Jauseph who is from Natsrath.
ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲑⲁⲛⲁⲏⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁ ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ϩⲓ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲛϫⲉⲙϥ ⲉⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲓⲱⲥⲏⲫ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲍⲁⲣⲉⲑ.
46 Saith to him Nathanael, From Natsrath can any good thing be? Philipos saith to him, Come and see.

47 And Jeshu saw Nathanael as he was coming to him, and said of him, Behold truly a son of Isroel who hath no guile in him.
