John 1
1 The one who expresses [MET] ([God’s character/what God is like]) has always existed (from the beginning [MTY] [of everything/before everything began]). He has always existed with God, and he has God’s nature.
Iesākumā bija Vārds, un Vārds bija pie Dieva, un Dievs bija Vārds.
2 He always existed with God [before] he began [MTY] [to create anything].
Tas bija iesākumā pie Dieva.
3 He is the one by whom [God] caused everything to exist. He is the one who created absolutely everything [LIT].
Visas lietas ir darītas caur Viņu, un bez Viņa nekas nav darīts, kas ir darīts.
4 He is the one who [caused everything to] live. He, who caused us people to live, [revealed to us the truth about God as] a light [MET] [reveals what is in the darkness].
Iekš Viņa bija dzīvība, un tā dzīvība bija cilvēku gaišums.
5 People do not want him to reveal [that what they do is evil] [MET], just [like] darkness [is evil]. But [just like] darkness cannot put out light [MET], [evil people have never prevented the one who was like a light from revealing God’s truth] (OR, [evil people have never] understood the [one who was like] a light.)
Un tas gaišums spīd tumsībā, un tumsība to nesaņēma.
6 A man whose name was John was sent by God {God sent a man whose name was John}.
Viens cilvēks bija no Dieva sūtīts, Jānis vārdā.
7 He came to tell people [about the one who was like] [MET] a light. He came to show that everything that the [one who was like a light] [MET] said was true, in order that he could enable all people to believe [in the one who was like a light].
Tas nāca liecības dēļ, ka dotu liecību par To Gaišumu, lai visi caur to ticētu.
8 John himself was not the [one who was like a] light [MET]. Instead, he came to tell others about that [one who was like a] light.
Viņš pats nebija tas gaišums, bet ka tas liecību dotu par To Gaišumu.
9 [While John was doing that], the one who was truly [like] a light was about to show himself to the world. He was the one who enables all people [to know about God, as] a light [MET] enables [people to know what is in the darkness].
Tam patiesam Gaišumam, kas ikvienu cilvēku apgaismo, bija nākt pasaulē.
10 Although the one [who was like a light] was [here] on the earth, and although he was the one whom [God] caused to create everything, [most] people [MTY, HYP] did not realize who he [was]. (OR, although he was the one whom [God] caused to create everything, [most] people did not accept him.)
Viņš bija pasaulē, un pasaule ir caur Viņu darīta; bet pasaule Viņu nepazina.
11 Although he came to the land that belonged to him [because he created it, most of] his own people, [the Jews], rejected him (OR, did not accept him).
Viņš nāca pie tiem savējiem, un šie Viņu neuzņēma.
12 But those [of us who welcomed him, God] authorized [that we would have a relationship with] him [MET] [like] children [have a relationship with their father]. We were people who believed [that what he said] about himself [MTY] [was true].
Bet cik Viņu uzņēma, tiem Viņš deva vaļu, palikt par Dieva bērniem, tiem, kas tic uz Viņa Vārdu,
13 We became [like God’s children], not because our ancestors [belonged to God], or because of someone’s sexual desires, nor because some man desired to have children like himself. Instead, we were caused by God {God caused us} to become [like] his children.
Kas ne no asinīm, nedz no miesas gribēšanas, nedz pēc kāda vīra prāta, bet kas no Dieva dzimuši.
14 The one who expresses [MET] ([God’s character/what God is like]) became a human being, and he lived among us [for a while]. As a result, we saw how wonderful he is. He came from [God] his father, and there was no other person as wonderful as he. He was wonderful because he always acted (kindly toward us/in ways we did not deserve), and he always [spoke] truthfully to us [about God].
Un tas Vārds tapa miesa un dzīvoja mūsu starpā, pilns žēlastības un patiesības, un mēs redzējām Viņa godību, tādu godību, kā Tā vienpiedzimušā Dēla no Tā Tēva.
15 [One day] when John was telling people about him, [he saw Jesus]. Then he shouted to them, “I told you [previously] that someone will come later who is more important than I am, since he existed [long] before me. This [is the man I was talking about]!”
Jānis dod liecību par Viņu un sauc sacīdams: “Šis bija Tas, par ko es sacīju: kas nāk pēc manis, Tas ir bijis priekš manis. Viņš bija pirmāk nekā es.”
16 We have all benefited very much from what he has done. Again and again, he has acted in kind way toward us in ways we did not deserve.
Un no Viņa pilnuma mēs visi esam dabūjuši žēlastību uz žēlastību.
17 Moses proclaimed [God’s] laws [to our ancestors]. But what Jesus Christ did for us [was much better]. He acted in kindness toward us in ways we did not deserve and told us the truth [about God].
Jo bauslība ir dota caur Mozu, žēlastība un patiesība ir notikusi caur Jēzu Kristu.
18 No one has ever seen God. But God’s only Son, [Jesus], who has always had a very close relationship with God, has told us about God.
Dievu neviens nekad nav redzējis: tas vienpiedzimušais Dēls, Tēva klēpī būdams, Tas mums to ir stāstījis.
19 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] in Jerusalem [city] sent some [Jewish] priests and (Levites/men who worked in the temple) to where John was, to ask him some questions. They said to him, “What do you [claim about] yourself?”
Un šī ir Jāņa liecība, kad tie Jūdi no Jeruzālemes priesterus un levitus sūtīja, lai tam jautā: “Kas tu esi?”
20 So John told them the truth, and he told them clearly [DOU]. He said, “[I] am not (the Messiah/God’s chosen king)!”
Un viņš apliecināja un neliedzās, un apliecināja: “Es neesmu Kristus.”
21 Then they asked him, “Then what [do you say about yourself]? Are you [the prophet] Elijah [that was prophesied to return] {([someone/another prophet]) [prophesied would return]} [before the Messiah]?” He replied, “No, [I] am not.” Then they asked him, “Are you the prophet [like Moses that] ([we are waiting for/God promised to send])?” He replied, “No.”
Un tie tam jautāja: “Kas tad? Vai tu esi Elija?” Un viņš saka: “Neesmu.” “Vai tu esi tas Pravietis?” Un viņš atbildēja: “Nē”.
22 So they asked him, “Then who do you [claim to be]? [Tell us] so that we can [go back and] report to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: “Kas tu esi? lai atbildam tiem, kas mūs sūtījuši; ko tu saki par sevi pašu?”
23 John replied, “[I] am the one [the prophet Isaiah said] would proclaim [this new message] loudly [to the people who would pass by] in this desolate area: ‘Prepare [yourselves to receive] the Lord when he comes [MET], [just like people prepare] a road [for an important official].
Viņš sacīja: “Es esmu saucēja balss tuksnesī: sataisiet Tā Kunga ceļu, kā pravietis Jesaja sacījis.”
24 Some of those people [who were questioning] John were ones who had been sent by the Pharisee [religious group] {whom the Pharisee [religious group] had sent}.
Un tie izsūtītie bija no tiem farizejiem.
25 They asked John, “Since [you say] you are not the Messiah, nor [the prophet] Elijah, nor the prophet [like Moses], [what authority] do you have? [Furthermore], why are you baptizing [Jews, treating them as though they were non-Jews who wanted to become Jews]?”
Un tie viņam jautāja un uz viņu sacīja: “Kāpēc tad tu kristi, kad tu neesi Tas Kristus, nedz Elija, nedz tas Pravietis?”
26 John replied, “I am [just] baptizing people with water [to prepare them to welcome the Messiah]. But [right now] someone is among you whom you people do not know.
Jānis tiem atbildēja un sacīja: “Es kristīju ar ūdeni; bet Tas jūsu vidū iestājies, ko jūs nepazīstat;
27 He [will preach to you] after I [am gone]. [He is so important that] I am not worthy to [serve him as a slave] [MET] [by] untying his sandals.”
Tas nāk pēc manis, un ir bijis priekš manis, Tam es neesmu cienīgs kurpju siksnas atraisīt.”
28 Those things happened at [a place called] Bethany, on the [east] side of the Jordan [River], where John was baptizing people.
Tas notika Betanijā viņpus Jardānes upes, kur Jānis kristīja.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him. He said to the people, “Look! Here is the [man whom] God [has appointed to be a sacrifice] [MET], [like] the lambs [that the people of Israel sacrificed! By sacrificing himself] he will [make it possible for everyone in] the world to be no longer [guilty for having] sinned.
Otrā dienā Jānis Jēzu ierauga nākam un saka: “Redzi, Tas Dieva Jērs, kas nes pasaules grēkus.
30 He is the one about whom I said [before], ‘Someone will come later who is more important than I am, since he existed [long] before me.’
Šis ir Tas, par ko es esmu sacījis: pēc manis nāk vīrs, kas bijis priekš manis: jo Viņš bija pirmāk nekā es.
31 I myself did not [previously] recognize that he [was the Messiah]. But [now I know who he is], and I have baptized people with water to enable [you people of] Israel to recognize who he is.”
Un es Viņu nepazinu: bet lai Viņš Israēlim taptu zināms, tāpēc es esmu nācis, kristīdams ar ūdeni.”
32 John spoke clearly [what God had shown him about Jesus]. He said, “I saw [God’s] Spirit as he was descending from heaven in the form of a dove. The Spirit remained on Jesus.
Un Jānis deva liecību sacīdams: “Es redzēju to Garu nolaižamies no debess kā balodi un paliekam uz Viņa.
33 I myself did not know [previously] that he [was the Messiah]. However, [God] sent me to baptize people with water, [people who said they wanted to turn from their sinful ways. While I was doing that], God told me, ‘The man on whom you will see my Spirit descend and remain is the one who will put the Holy Spirit within you [(pl) to truly change your lives].’
Un es Viņu nepazinu, bet kas mani sūtījis kristīt ar ūdeni, Tas uz mani sacīja: uz ko tu redzēsi to Garu nolaižamies un paliekam, šis ir Tas, kas kristī ar Svēto Garu.
34 I saw [the Spirit descend on him], and I tell you that he is (the Son of God/the person who is both God and man).”
Un es esmu redzējis un liecību devis, ka šis ir Tas Dieva Dēls.”
35 The next day John was at the same place again (with two of us/with two of his disciples).
Otrā dienā Jānis atkal stāvēja un divi no viņa mācekļiem,
36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look! There is the man God [has appointed to be a sacrifice, like] the lambs [MET] [the people of Israel have sacrificed!]”
Un ieraudzījis Jēzu staigājam, viņš saka: “Redzi, Tas Dieva Jērs!”
37 (When we/those two disciples) heard John say this, we/they went with Jesus.
Un tie divi mācekļi viņu dzirdēja runājam un Jēzum gāja pakaļ.
38 Jesus turned around and saw us/them coming behind him. So he asked us/them, “What do you want?” We/They replied, “Teacher, [tell us] where you are staying, [because we want to talk with you].”
Un Jēzus atgriezdamies un tos redzējis pakaļ nākam, uz tiem saka: “Ko jūs meklējat?” Un tie uz Viņu sacīja: “Rabbi, (tas ir tulkots: mācītājs, ) kur Tu mājo?”
39 He replied, “Come [with me], and you will see [where I am staying]!” So we/they went with him and saw where he was staying. We/They stayed with him until about 4 o’clock (OR, from about 4 PM until the next day).
Viņš uz tiem saka: “Nāciet un redziet.” Tie nāca un redzēja, kur Viņš mājoja, un palika to dienu pie Viņa, un tas bija ap desmito stundu.
40 (One of us/One of the two men) who heard what John had said and who went with Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter’s [younger] brother.
Andrejs, Sīmaņa Pētera brālis, bija viens no tiem diviem, kas to no Jāņa bija dzirdējuši un Viņam gājuši pakaļ.
41 [After Andrew left Jesus], the first thing he did was to find his own [older] brother Simon and say to him, “We have found the Messiah!”
Šis pirmais atrod savu brāli Sīmani un uz to saka: “Mēs to Mesiju esam atraduši (tas ir tulkots: Kristus).”
42 Then he took Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked intently at him, and then said, “You are Simon. Your father’s name is John. You will be given {[I] will give you} the name Cephas.” [Cephas is an Aramaic name that means ‘solid rock’. It] means [the same in Greek as the name] Peter.
Un viņš to veda pie Jēzus. Un Jēzus to uzlūkoja un sacīja: “Tu esi Sīmanis, Jonas dēls, tu tapsi saukts Kefas, tas ir tulkots: Pēteris (akmens).”
43 The next day [Jesus] decided to leave [the Jordan River valley]. He went to Galilee [district] and (OR, on the way there he) found a man named Philip. Jesus said to him, “Come with me!”
Otrā dienā Jēzus gribēja iziet uz Galileju un atrod Filipu un uz to saka: “Nāc Man pakaļ.”
44 Philip and Andrew and Peter were all from Bethsaida [town].
Un Filips bija no Betsaidas, Andreja un Pētera pilsētas.
45 Then Philip [searched for] Nathaniel and found him, and said to him, “We have met [the Messiah], the one Moses [wrote about]! The prophets also [prophesied that he would come]. He is Jesus, from Nazareth [town]. His father’s name is Joseph.”
Filips atrod Natanaēli un uz to saka: “Par ko Mozus bauslībā rakstījis un tie pravieši, To mēs esam atraduši, Jēzu no Nacaretes, Jāzepa dēlu.”
46 Nathaniel replied, “Nazareth? (Nothing good can come from [such an unimportant place]!/Can anything good come from [such an unimportant place]?) [RHQ]” Philip replied, “Come and see!”
Un Natanaēls uz to sacīja: “Vai no Nacaretes var būt kāds labums?” Filips uz to saka: “Nāc un redzi!”
47 When Jesus saw Nathaniel approaching, he said about Nathaniel, “Here is an example of a good Israelite! He never deceives anyone!”
Jēzus redzēja Natanaēli nākam, un par to saka: “Redzi, patiesi viens Israēlietis, iekš kā viltības nav.”
48 Nathaniel asked him, “How do you know what I [am like]?” Jesus replied, “I saw you before Philip called you, when you were [by yourself] under the fig tree.”
Natanaēls uz Viņu saka: “Kā Tu mani pazīsti?” Jēzus atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Es tevi redzēju, pirms Filips tevi aicināja, kad tu biji apakš tā vīģes koka.”
49 Then Nathaniel declared, “Teacher, you [must be] (the Son of God/the person who is both God and man)! You are the King of Israel [we have been waiting for]!”
Natanaēls atbildēja un uz Viņu saka: “Rabbi, Tu esi Dieva Dēls, Tu esi Israēla Ķēniņš.”
50 Jesus replied to him, “You [RHQ] believe [those things about me] because I told you I saw you when you were under the fig tree. [I was able to see you supernaturally even though I was far away from you]. But you will see [me do] things that are more surprising than that!”
Jēzus atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Tādēļ tu tici, ka Es tev esmu sacījis: Es tevi redzēju apakš tā vīģes koka. Tu redzēsi lielākas lietas nekā tās.”
51 Then Jesus said to him, “This is the absolute truth: [Just like what your ancestor Jacob saw long ago in a vision], some day you [(pl)] will see heaven opened up, and you will see God’s angels ascending from me and descending on me, the one who came from heaven.”
Un Viņš uz to saka: “Patiesi, patiesi, Es jums saku: no šī laika jūs redzēsiet debesis atvērtas un Dieva eņģeļus uzkāpjam un nokāpjam uz To Cilvēka Dēlu.”
