< John 1 >

1 IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word himself was with Aloha, and Aloha was the Word himself.
In the beginning was the Word, (logos) and the Word (logos) was with God, and the Word (logos) was God.
2 This was in the beginning with Aloha.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 Every thing by his hand was made; and without him also was not one thing made that was made.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life is the light of the sons of man;
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 and the Light himself in the darkness shineth, and the darkness perceived him not.
And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man who was sent from Aloha, his name (was) Juchanon.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 He came for the testimony, to testify concerning the Light, that all men might believe through his ministry.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not the Light himself, but came to testify concerning the Light.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 For that was the true Light that enlighteneth every man who cometh into the world.
That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world.
10 In the world was he, and the world by his hand had been made, and the world knew him not.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
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.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 These, not from blood, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from Aloha, are born.
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
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.
And the Word (logos) was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
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.
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And from his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law by the hand of Musha was given; but the truth and the grace were by Jeshu Meshicha.
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 ALOHA no man hath ever seen: the one-begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.
No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
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?
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you?
20 And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Meshicha.
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
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.
And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are you that prophet? And he answered, No.
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?
Then said they unto him, Who are you? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What say you of yourself?
23 He saith, I am the voice which crieth in the wilderness, Make plain the way of the Lord, as said Eshaia the prophet.
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
24 But they who were sent were from the Pharishee.
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
25 And they demanded and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Meshicha, nor Elia, nor the Prophet?
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptize you then, if you be not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?
26 Juchanon answered and said to them, I baptize you with waters; but he standeth among you whom you know not:
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there stands one among you, whom all of you know not;
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.
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things were done in Bethania, at the passage of the Jurdan, where Juchanon was baptizing.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
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!
The next day John sees Jesus coming unto him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.
30 This is he concerning whom I said, After me cometh a man, and he was before me, because he is anterior to me.
This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
31 And I knew him not, but that he should be made known unto Isroel, therefore have I come with waters to baptize.
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32 And Juchanon testified and said, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven as a dove, and it remained upon him.
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit (pneuma) descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
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:
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit (pneuma) descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
34 and I saw, and bare witness that this is the Son of Aloha
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
35 And the day after Juchanon stood, and two of his disciples;
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 and, contemplating Jeshu as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha!
And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 And his two disciples heard him as he spake, and they went after Jeshu.
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
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?
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and says unto them, What seek all of you? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwell you?
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.
He says unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
40 Now one of those who heard Juchanon and went after Jeshu, was Andreas, the brother of Shemun.
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 This saw first Shemun his brother, and said to him, We have found the Meshicha;
He first finds his own brother Simon, and says unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
42 and he brought him to Jeshu. And Jeshu saw him, and said, Thou art Shemun bar Jona; thou shalt be called Kipha.
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, You are Simon the son of Jona: you shall be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
43 AND the day following Jeshu willed to go forth into Galila. And he found Philipos, and said to him, Come after me.
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and finds Philip, and says unto him, Follow me.
44 Now Philipos was from Beth-tsaida, from the city of Andreas and of Shemun.
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
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.
Philip finds Nathanael, and says unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 Saith to him Nathanael, From Natsrath can any good thing be? Philipos saith to him, Come and see.
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip says unto 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.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 Nathanael saith to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jeshu saith to him, While yet Philipos had not called thee, while thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
Nathanael says unto him, Whence know you me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.
49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabi, thou art the Son of Aloha himself, thou art the very King of Isroel.
Nathanael answered and says unto him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.
50 Jeshu saith to him, Upon my telling thee that I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Greater things than these thou shalt see.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto you, I saw you under the fig tree, believe you? you shall see greater things than these.
51 He saith to him, Amen, amen, I say to you, Hereafter you shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of Aloha ascending and descending unto the Son of man.
And he says unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter all of you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
