< John 1 >

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Er penn-kentañ e oa ar Ger, hag ar Ger a oa gant Doue, hag ar Ger a oa Doue.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Er penn-kentañ e oa gant Doue.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
An holl draoù a zo bet graet drezañ, ha netra eus ar pezh a zo bet graet, n'eo bet graet heptañ.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Ennañ e oa ar vuhez, hag ar vuhez a oa sklêrijenn an dud.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Ar sklêrijenn he deus lugernet en deñvalijenn, hag an deñvalijenn n'he deus ket he degemeret.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Bez' e voe un den, anvet Yann, kaset a-berzh Doue.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
Dont a reas da vezañ test, da reiñ testeni d'ar sklêrijenn, evit ma kredje an holl drezañ.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
Ne oa ket ar sklêrijenn, met kaset e oa da reiñ testeni d'ar sklêrijenn.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Ar sklêrijenn wirion, an hini a sklaera pep den, a oa o tont er bed.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Er bed e oa, hag ar bed a zo bet graet gantañ; met ar bed n'en deus ket e anavezet.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Deuet eo da gavout e re, hag e re n'o eus ket e zegemeret.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Met d'an holl re o deus e zegemeret, en deus roet an droed da vezañ graet bugale da Zoue, da c'houzout eo, d'an holl re a gred en e anv,
13 Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
ar re n'int ket bet ganet eus ar gwad, nag eus bolontez ar c'hig, nag eus bolontez an den, met eus Doue.
14 And the Word 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.
Hag ar Ger a zo bet graet kig, hag en deus chomet en hon touez, leun a c'hras hag a wirionez, ha gwelet hon eus e c'hloar, ur gloar evel hini Mab nemetañ an Tad.
15 John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Yann a roas testeni dezhañ, pa grias o lavarout: Hemañ eo an hini a lavaren diwar e benn: An hini a zeu war va lerc'h a zo dreiston, abalamour ma oa kentoc'h egedon.
16 And of his fulness have we all received, and grace for grace.
Ni holl hon eus resevet eus e leunder, ha gras evit gras.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Rak al lezenn a zo bet roet dre Voizez, an drugarez hag ar wirionez a zo deuet dre Jezuz-Krist.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Den n'en deus biskoazh gwelet Doue; ar Mab nemetañ a zo en askre an Tad, eo an hini en deus graet e anavezout.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
Setu amañ testeni Yann, pa gasas ar Yuzevien eus Jeruzalem beleien ha levited da c'houlenn outañ: Piv out-te?
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
Disklêriañ a reas ha ne nac'has ket, disklêriañ a reas: N'on ket-me ar C'hrist.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
Hag e c'houlennjont outañ: Piv out eta? Bez' out Elia? Eñ a lavaras: N'on ket. Bez' out ar profed? Eñ a respontas: Nann.
22 Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
Int a lavaras eta dezhañ: Piv out-te? Evit ma roimp respont d'ar re o deus hon degaset. Petra a lavarez ac'hanout da-unan?
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
Eñ a lavaras: Me eo mouezh an hini a gri el lec'h distro: Plaenit hent an Aotrou, evel m'en deus lavaret ar profed Izaia.
24 And they who were sent were of the Pharisees.
Ar re a oa bet kaset a oa farizianed.
25 And they asked him, and said to him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou art not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?
Goulenn a rejont outañ: Perak e vadezez, ma n'out nag ar C'hrist, nag Elia, nag ar profed?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
Yann a respontas hag a lavaras dezho: Evidon-me, me a vadez en dour; met unan bennak a zo en ho touez, ha n'anavezit ket anezhañ.
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to loose.
Hennezh eo an hini a zeu war va lerc'h, [hag a zo dreiston]; ha n'on ket dellezek da zieren korreenn e votoù.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Kement-mañ a c'hoarvezas e Betania, en tu all d'ar Jordan, e-lec'h ma vadeze Yann.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.
An deiz war-lerc'h, Yann a welas Jezuz o tont d'e gavout, hag a lavaras: Setu Oan Doue, an hini a lam pec'hed ar bed.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Eñ eo an hini e lavaren diwar e benn: Dont a ra war va lerc'h un den hag a zo dreiston, rak a-raok din e oa.
31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing in water.
Evidon-me, n'anavezen ket anezhañ; met deuet on da vadeziñ en dour, evit ma vo disklêriet da Israel.
32 And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and he abode upon him.
Yann a roas c'hoazh an testeni-mañ, o lavarout: Gwelet em eus ar Spered o tiskenn eus an neñv evel ur goulm, hag o tont warnañ.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
Evidon-me, n'anavezen ket anezhañ; met an hini en deus va c'haset da vadeziñ en dour, en deus lavaret din: An hini a weli ar Spered o tiskenn hag o chom warnañ, hennezh eo an hini a vadez er Spered-Santel.
34 And I saw, and bore witness that this is the Son of God.
Hag em eus gwelet, hag em eus roet testeni eo eñ Mab Doue.
35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
An deiz war-lerc'h, Yann a oa c'hoazh eno gant daou eus e ziskibien,
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
hag o welout Jezuz a valee, e lavaras: Setu Oan Doue.
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
An daou ziskibl, o vezañ e glevet o komz evel-se, a heulias Jezuz.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith to them, What seek ye? They said to him, Rabbi, ( which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwellest thou?
Jezuz o vezañ distroet hag o welout e heulient anezhañ, a lavaras dezho: Petra a glaskit? Respont a rejont dezhañ: Rabbi (da lavarout eo Mestr), pelec'h e chomez?
39 He saith to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
Eñ a lavaras dezho: Deuit ha gwelit. Mont a rejont, hag e weljont pelec'h e chome, hag e chomjont gantañ an deiz-se, rak war-dro an dekvet eur e oa.
40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Andrev, breur Simon-Pêr, a oa unan eus an daou o devoa klevet ar pezh en devoa lavaret Yann, hag o devoa heuliet Jezuz.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
Andrev a gavas da gentañ Simon e vreur, hag a lavaras dezhañ: Ni hon eus kavet ar Mesiaz (da lavarout eo ar C'hrist, an Eouliet).
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonah: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
Hag e tegasas anezhañ da Jezuz. Jezuz, o vezañ sellet outañ, a lavaras dezhañ: Te eo Simon, mab Jona; te a vo galvet Kefaz (da lavarout eo Pêr).
43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me.
An deiz war-lerc'h, Jezuz a c'hoantaas mont e Galilea, hag e kavas Filip; lavarout a reas dezhañ: Heul ac'hanon.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filip a oa eus Betsaida, kêr Andrev ha Pêr.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
Filip a gavas Natanael hag a lavaras dezhañ: Kavet hon eus an hini a zo bet skrivet diwar e benn gant Moizez el lezenn ha gant ar brofeded: Jezuz, mab Jozef, eus Nazared.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
Natanael a lavaras dezhañ: Hag eus Nazared e c'hell dont un dra vat bennak? Filip a lavaras dezhañ: Deus ha gwel.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Jezuz, o welout Natanael o tont d'e gavout, a lavaras diwar e benn: Setu ur gwir Israelad, ha n'eus ket a droidell ennañ.
48 Nathanael saith to him, How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
Natanael a lavaras dezhañ: A-belec'h ec'h anavezez ac'hanon? Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: A-raok ma c'halvas Filip ac'hanout, pa oas dindan ar wezenn-fiez, e welen ac'hanout.
49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Natanael a respontas dezhañ: Mestr, te eo Mab Doue, te eo roue Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater things than these.
Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: Abalamour ma em eus lavaret dit em boa da welet dindan ar wezenn-fiez, e kredez; te a welo traoù brasoc'h eget ar re-mañ.
51 And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, After this ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Lavarout a reas ivez dezhañ: E gwirionez, e gwirionez, me a lavar deoc'h: A-vremañ c'hwi a welo an neñv digor, hag aeled Doue o pignat hag o tiskenn a-us da Vab an den.
