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.
१प्रारंभी शब्द होता, शब्द देवासह होता आणि शब्द देव होता.
2 He always existed with God [before] he began [MTY] [to create anything].
२तोच प्रारंभी देवासह होता.
3 He is the one by whom [God] caused everything to exist. He is the one who created absolutely everything [LIT].
३सर्वकाही त्याच्याद्वारे झाले आणि जे काही झाले ते त्याने केल्यावांचून झाले नाही.
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].
४त्याच्यामध्ये जीवन होते; आणि ते जीवन मनुष्यमात्राचा प्रकाश होते.
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.)
५तो प्रकाश अंधारात प्रकाशतो; तरी अंधाराने त्यास स्वीकारले नाही.
6 A man whose name was John was sent by God {God sent a man whose name was John}.
६देवाकडून पाठविलेला एक मनुष्य प्रकट झाला; त्याचे नाव योहान.
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].
७तो साक्षीकरीता, त्या प्रकाशाविषयी साक्ष द्यावी म्हणून आला; यासाठी की सर्वांनी त्याच्याद्वारे विश्वास ठेवावा.
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.
८योहान तो प्रकाश नव्हता, पण त्या प्रकाशाविषयी साक्ष द्यावी म्हणून आला.
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].
९जो खरा प्रकाश प्रत्येक मनुष्यास प्रकाशित करतो तो जगात येणार होता.
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.)
१०तो जगात होता व जग त्याच्याद्वारे निर्माण झाले, तरी जगाने त्यास ओळखले नाही.
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).
११जे त्याचे स्वतःचे त्यांच्याकडे तो आला, तरी त्याच्या स्वकीयांनी त्याचा स्वीकार केला नाही.
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].
१२पण जितक्यांनी त्याचा स्वीकार केला, म्हणजे त्याच्या नावावर विश्वास ठेवला, तितक्यांना त्याने देवाची मुले होण्याचा अधिकार दिला.
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.
१३त्यांचा जन्म रक्त किंवा देहाची इच्छा किंवा मनुष्याची इच्छा यापासून झाला नाही, तर देवापासून झाला.
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].
१४शब्द देह झाला व त्याने आमच्यात वस्ती केली आणि आम्ही त्याचे गौरव पाहीले, ते पित्यापासून आलेल्या एकुलत्या एकाचे गौरव असावे असे कृपेने व सत्याने परिपूर्ण होते.
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]!”
१५योहान त्याच्याविषयी साक्ष देतो आणि मोठ्याने म्हणतो, “ज्याच्याविषयी मी सांगितले की, माझ्यामागून जो येत आहे तो माझ्यासमोर झाला आहे, कारण तो माझ्या पूर्वी होता, तो हाच आहे.”
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.
१६त्याच्या पूर्णतेतून आपल्या सर्वांना कृपेवर कृपा मिळाली आहे.
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].
१७कारण नियमशास्त्र मोशेच्याद्वारे देण्यात आले होते; कृपा व सत्य ही येशू ख्रिस्ताच्या द्वारे झाली.
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.
१८देवाला कोणीही कधीहि पाहिले नाही. जो देवाचा एकुलता एक पुत्र पित्याच्या उराशी असतो त्याने त्यास प्रकट केले आहे.
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?”
१९आणि योहानाची साक्ष ही आहे; जेव्हा यहूदी अधिकाऱ्यांनी यरूशलेम शहराहून याजक व लेवी यांना त्यास विचारायला पाठवले की, “तू कोण आहे?”
20 So John told them the truth, and he told them clearly [DOU]. He said, “[I] am not (the Messiah/God’s chosen king)!”
२०त्याने उघडपणे कबूल केले, नाकारले नाही, “मी ख्रिस्त नाही,” असे त्याने कबूल केले.
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.”
२१तेव्हा त्यांनी त्यास विचारले, “तर मग आपण कोण आहात? एलीया आहात का?” तो म्हणाला, “मी नाही.” “आपण तो संदेष्टा आहात काय?” त्याने उत्तर दिले, “मी नाही.”
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?”
२२यावरुन ते त्यास म्हणाले, “आपण कोण आहा? म्हणजे ज्यांनी आम्हास पाठवले त्यांना आम्ही उत्तर देऊ. स्वतःविषयी आपले काय म्हणणे आहे?”
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].
२३तो म्हणाला, “यशया संदेष्ट्याने सांगितल्याप्रमाणे ‘परमेश्वराचा मार्ग नीट करा ज्याच्या वाट सरळ करा, असे अरण्यात ओरडणाऱ्याची वाणी’ मी आहे.”
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}.
२४आणि पाठविलेली माणसे परूश्यांपैकी होती.
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]?”
२५आणि त्यांनी त्यास प्रश्न करून म्हटले, “आपण जर ख्रिस्त नाही किंवा एलीया नाही किंवा तो संदेष्टाही नाही, तर आपण बाप्तिस्मा का करता?”
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.
२६योहानाने त्यांना उत्तर दिले, “मी पाण्याने बाप्तिस्मा करतो, पण तुम्ही ज्याला ओळखित नाही असा एकजण तुम्हामध्ये उभा आहे.
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.”
२७तो माझ्यामागून येणारा आहे, त्याच्या वहाणांचा बंद सोडावयास मी योग्य नाही.”
28 Those things happened at [a place called] Bethany, on the [east] side of the Jordan [River], where John was baptizing people.
२८यार्देनेच्या पलीकडील बेथानीत योहान बाप्तिस्मा करीत होता तेथे या गोष्टी घडल्या.
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.
२९दुसर्‍या दिवशी येशूला आपल्याकडे येताना पाहून योहान म्हणाला, “हा पाहा, जगाचे पाप हरण करणारा देवाचा कोकरा!
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.’
३०ज्याच्याविषयी मी म्हणालो होतो की, ‘माझ्यामागून एकजण येत आहे तो माझ्या पुढचा झाला आहे कारण तो माझ्या पूर्वी होता,’ तो हाच आहे.
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.”
३१मी त्यास ओळखत नव्हतो; तरी त्याने इस्राएलात प्रकट व्हावे म्हणून मी पाण्याने बाप्तिस्मा करीत आलो आहे.”
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.
३२योहानाने अशी साक्ष दिली की, “आत्मा कबुतरासारखा आकाशातून उतरत असतांना आणि त्याच्यावर स्थिर राहिलेला मी पाहिला.
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].’
३३मी तर त्यास ओळखत नव्हतो, तरी मी पाण्याने बाप्तिस्मा करावा म्हणून ज्याने मला पाठवले त्याने मला सांगितले की, ‘तू ज्या कोणावर आत्मा उतरत असतांना आणि स्थिर राहिलेला पाहशील तोच पवित्र आत्म्याने बाप्तिस्मा करणारा आहे.’
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).”
३४मी स्वतः पाहिले आहे आणि साक्ष दिली आहे की, हा देवाचा पुत्र आहे.”
35 The next day John was at the same place again (with two of us/with two of his disciples).
३५त्यानंतर दुसर्‍या दिवशी योहान व त्याच्या शिष्यांतील दोघांसह उभा असता;
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!]”
३६येशूला जातांना न्याहाळून पाहून म्हणाला, “हा पाहा, देवाचा कोकरा!”
37 (When we/those two disciples) heard John say this, we/they went with Jesus.
३७त्याचे हे म्हणणे त्या दोघा शिष्यांनी ऐकले आणि ते येशूच्या मागोमाग निघाले.
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].”
३८तेव्हा येशू वळून त्यांना आपल्यामागे येताना पाहून म्हणाला, “तुम्ही काय शोधीता?” ते त्यास म्हणाले, “रब्बी, (म्हणजे गुरूजी) आपण कोठे राहता?”
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).
३९तो त्यांना म्हणाला, “या म्हणजे पाहाल.” मग त्यांनी जाऊन तो कोठे राहतो ते बघितले आणि ते त्यादिवशी त्याच्या येथे राहिले; तेव्हा तो सुमारे चार वाजले होते.
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.
४०योहानाचे बोलणे ऐकून त्याच्यामागे जे दोघे जण गेले, त्यांच्यापैकी एक शिमोन पेत्राचा भाऊ अंद्रिया हा होता.
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!”
४१त्यास त्याचा सख्खा भाऊ शिमोन पहिल्याने भेटला व त्यास म्हणाला, “आम्हास मसीहा (म्हणजे ख्रिस्त) सापडला आहे.”
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.
४२त्याने त्यास येशूकडे आणले; येशूने त्याच्याकडे न्याहाळून पाहून म्हटले, “तू योहानाचा पुत्र शिमोन आहेस. तुला केफा (म्हणजे पेत्र किंवा खडक) म्हणतील.”
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!”
४३दुसर्‍या दिवशी त्याने गालील प्रांतात जाण्याचा बेत केला; आणि तेव्हा फिलिप्प त्यास भेटला; येशूने त्यास म्हटले, “माझ्यामागे ये.”
44 Philip and Andrew and Peter were all from Bethsaida [town].
४४आता, फिलिप्प बेथसैदाचा, म्हणजे अंद्रिया व पेत्र यांच्या नगराचा होता.
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.”
४५फिलिप्पाला नथनेल भेटल्यावर तो त्यास म्हणाला, “ज्याच्याविषयी मोशेने नियमशास्त्रात लिहिले व तसेच संदेष्ट्यांनी लिहिले, तो म्हणजे योसेफाचा पुत्र येशू नासरेथकर आम्हास सापडला आहे.”
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!”
४६नथनेल त्यास म्हणाला, “नासरेथमधून काहीतरी उत्तम निघू शकेल काय?” फिलीप्पाने त्यास म्हणाला, “येऊन पाहा.”
47 When Jesus saw Nathaniel approaching, he said about Nathaniel, “Here is an example of a good Israelite! He never deceives anyone!”
४७नथनेल आपल्याकडे येत आहे हे येशूने बघितले व तो म्हणाला, “पाहा, हा खरा इस्राएली आहे, याच्यात कपट नाही.”
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.”
४८नथनेल त्यास म्हणाला, “आपणांला माझी ओळख कोठली?” येशूने त्यास उत्तर दिले, “तुला फिल्लीपाने बोलावले त्यापुर्वी तू अंजिराच्या झाडाखाली होतास तेव्हाच मी तुला बघितले.”
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]!”
४९नथनेलाने उत्तर दिले, “रब्बी, आपण देवाचे पुत्र आहा, आपण इस्राएलाचे राजे आहात.”
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!”
५०येशूने त्यास उत्तर देऊन म्हटले, “मी तुला अंजिराच्या झाडाखाली पाहिले असे तुला सांगितले म्हणून तू विश्वास ठेवतोस काय? तू याच्यापेक्षा मोठ्या गोष्टी पाहशील.”
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.”
५१आणखी तो त्यास म्हणाला, “मी तुम्हास खरे खरे सांगतो, तुम्ही यापुढे आकाश उघडलेले आणि देवदूतांना चढताना व मनुष्याच्या पुत्रावर उतरत असताना पहाल.”
