John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Tam-pifotorañe añe t’i Tsara, le nindre aman’ Añahare i Tsaray vaho Andrianañahare i Tsaray.
2 This one was in the beginning with God.
Ie taman’ Andrianañahare amy fifotorañey.
3 All things were made through him, and without him there was not one thing made that has been made.
Ie ty nañamboarañe ze he’e; aa naho tsy ie, ndra loli’e tsy ho teo ze eo.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Tama’e o haveloñeo; le nañazavàñe ondatio i haveloñey;
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
mireandreañe añ’ieñe ao i Hazavàñey, le tsy nahatindry aze i ieñey.
6 There was a man who was sent from God, whose name was John.
Teo t’indaty nirahen’ Añahare, Jaona ty tahina’e.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Pok’ eo re ho valolombeloñe hitalily i Hazavàñey, soa te hatokisa ze kila ondaty.
8 John was not the light, but came that he might testify about the light.
Tsy t’ie i Hazavàñey, f’ie ro hitaroñe i Hazavàñey.
9 The true light, which gives light to all men, was coming into the world.
Ie ty Hazavañe to mañazava ze hene ondaty mizilike an-tane atoy.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him.
Tami’ ty voatse toy atoy re naho ie ty nañamboarañe ty voatse toy, fe tsy nahafohiñ’ aze ty voatse toy.
11 He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.
Nivotrak’ amo Azeo re, fe tsy nirambesa’ o Azeo.
12 But to as many as received him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
Fe hene nimea’e lily ho anan’ Añahare ze nandrambe aze, ze miato amy tahina’ey,
13 These were not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
ie tsy nareñen-dio, tsy nisatrie’ ty nofotse, tsy nisafirie’ ondaty, fa i Andrianañahare.
14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We have seen his glory, glory as of the one and only who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Ninjare nofotse i Tsaray, ie namoroñe ty sokemitraha’e aman-tika atoy. Nioni’ay ty enge’e, i volonahetse mañeva ty maha bako-tokañe nampiarenen-dRae azey, ie fonitse hasoa naho hatò.
15 John testified about him and cried out, saying, “This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, for he was before me.'”
Nitalily aze t’i Jaona ie nikoi-dava ty hoe: Ie i nanoeko ty hoe, I manonjohy ahiy ro ambone ahy amy t’ie taoloko.
16 For from his fullness we have all received grace after grace.
Songa nandrambe amy halifora’ey tika: hasoa atovon-kasoa.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Toe i Mosè ty nanolorañe Hake, le Iesoà Norizañey ty nitotsaha’ ty falalañe naho ty hatò.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The one and only God, who is at the side of the Father, he has made him known.
Tsy eo ty nahatrea an’Andrianañahare ndra mbia’ mbia; i bako tokañe añ’ arañan-dRae’ey, Ie ty mitaroñe.
19 This is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
Zao ty enta’ i Jaona te nirahe’ o Tehodao ty mpisoroñe naho nte-Levy hirik’e Ierosaleme añe nañontane aze, ty hoe: Ia v’iheo?
20 He confessed—he did not deny, but confessed—”I am not the Christ.”
Niantoke re, tsy nitety, fa ninà’e ty hoe: Tsy izaho i Norizañey.
21 So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” They said, “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
Aa hoe ty ontane’ iareo: Ia arè? i Elia v’iheo? le hoe re: Tsy ie iraho, I mpitokiy hao? le hoe re: Aiy!
22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”
Le hoe ty nanoa’ iareo: Ia v’iheo, hahatoiña’ay o nañirak’ anaio? Akore ty anoñona’o ty vata’o?
23 He said, “I am a voice, crying in the wilderness: 'Make the way of the Lord straight,' just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
Hoe re: Izaho ty fiarañanaña’ i mikoik’ am-patrambey añey, Vantaño ty lala’ i Talè, amy nisaontsie’ Isaia mpitokiy.
24 Now some from the Pharisees were sent,
Toe irake boak’ amo Fariseoo iereo,
25 and they asked him and said to him, “Why do you baptize then if you are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?”
ie nañontane ty hoe: Akore t’ie mampilipotse, ihe tsy i Norizañey, tsy i Elia, tsy i Mpitokiy?
26 John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water. But among you stands someone you do not know.
Tinoi’ i Jaona ty hoe: Mampilipotse an-drano iraho, fe mijohañe añivo’ areo ao ty tsy fohi’ areo;
27 He is the one who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”
i manonjohy ahy nanoeñe aolokoy; tsy sazo ahy ty hañaha i talin-kana’ey.
28 These things were done in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Nanoeñe e Betania alafe’ Iordaney zay amy fampilipora’ i Jaonay.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look, there is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Tamy loakandroy, nioni’e te nitotofa’ Iesoà, le hoe re: Heheke o Vik’ añondrin’ Añahare mpañaha hakeo’ ty voatse toio.
30 This is the one of whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is more than me, for he was before me.'
Ie i nitaroñekoy ty hoe: Manonjohy ahy t’indaty ambone te amako amy t’ie taoloko.
31 I did not know him, but it was so that he could be revealed to Israel that I came baptizing with water.”
Tsy napotako re: fe ty hampiboahañe aze am’ Israele ty nivotrahako atoy hampilipotse an-drano.
32 John testified, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it stayed upon him.
Le hoe ty nitaroñe’ i Jaona: Nahatrea i Arofoy iraho, nizotso hoe deho boak’an-dindìñe ey nipetake ama’e.
33 I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, he is the one baptizing in the Holy Spirit.'
Ninofiko re, fe nanao ty hoe amako i nañitrik’ ahy hampilipotse an-dranoy: Ty isa’o izotsoa’ i Arofoy vaho mipetak’ ama’e, ie ty mandipotse amy Arofo Masiñey.
34 I have both seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
Le nahatrea iraho vaho mitaroñe te Ie i Anak’ Andrianañaharey.
35 Again, the next day, as John was standing with two of his disciples,
Nijohañ’eo mindre ami’ty mpiama’e roe t’i Jaona te loak’ andro.
36 they saw Jesus walking by, and John said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
Aa ie nahaisake Iesoà nañavelo, le hoe re: Heheke o Vik’ añondrin’ Añahareo!
37 His two disciples heard him say this and they followed Jesus.
Jinanji’ i mpiama’e roe rey i saontsi’ey le nañorike Iesoà.
38 Then Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What do you want?” They replied, “Rabbi (which translated means teacher), where are you staying?”
Nitolike t’Iesoà, nahavazoho t’ie nañorike vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ino ty ipaia’ areo? Le hoe iereo tama’e: O Raby, toe: Talè, aia ty imoneña’o?
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” Then they came and saw where he was staying; they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
Le nanoa’e ty hoe: Antao, hañisake: Aa le nimb’eo iereo nahaisake i nimoneña’ey le nitambatse ama’e ao amy àndroy, ie va’e tami’ty ora faha-folo.
40 One of the two who heard John speak and then followed Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
Ty raik’ amy roe nahajanjiñe i Jaona naho nanonjohy aze rey le i Andrea, rahalahi’ i Simona Petera;
41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated is: Christ).
Tendrek’ aze hey t’i Simona rahalahi’e le nanoa’e ty hoe: Nioni’ay t’i Mesia, toe: i Norizañey.
42 He brought him to Jesus, and Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).
Nindese’e mb’amy Iesoà mb’eo, le ie nivazoho Iesoà le nanoe’e ty hoe: Ihe ro Simona ana’ i Jaona. Hatao Kefasy irehe, toe: vato).
43 The next day, when Jesus wanted to leave to go to Galilee, he found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
Ie amy loak’ androy te homb’ e Galilia ao t’Iesoà, le nitendreke i Filipo vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Oriho iraho.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Nte-Betsaida t’i Filipo, ty rova’ i Andrea naho i Petera.
45 Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, “He of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, we have found him: Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
Nirendre’ i Filipo t’i Natanaela vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Fa nifanjo amy sinoki’ i Mosè amy Hake naho amo Mpitokioy zahay, Iesoà nte-Nazareta, ana’ Iosefe!
46 Nathaniel said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Hoe t’i Natanaela tama’e: Mete iboahan-draha soa hao ty Nazareta? Antao hisary, hoe t’i Filipo ama’e.
47 Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and said about him, “See, a true Israelite, in whom is no deceit!”
Ie nivazoho’ Iesoà t’i Natanaela nitotok’ aze, le hoe re ty ama’e: Heheke, ty toe ana’ Israele, ty tsy am-pamañahiañe!
48 Nathaniel said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Le hoe ty nanoa’ i Natanaela: Aia ty naharofoana’o ahy? Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Ihe mbe tsy kinai’ i Filipo le nitreako ambane’ i sakoañey.
49 Nathaniel replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
Aa le tinoi’ i Natanaela ty hoe: O Raby, Anan’ Añahare irehe; Ihe ro Mpanjaka’ Israele.
50 Jesus replied and said to him, “Because I said to you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than this.”
Le ty hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà aze: Amy te nanoako t’ie nahatrea azo ambane’ i sakoañey hao ro nampiantok’ azo? Mbe ho oni’o ty lombolombo’e.
51 Then he said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
Le tinovo’e ty hoe: Eka! to t’itaroñako te mbe ho oni’ areo ty fisokafa’ i likerañey naho ty fionjonañe naho ty fizotsoa’ o anjelin’ Añahareo amy Ana’ ondatiy.
