John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Shuru te Kotha asele, aru Kotha to Isor logote thakise, aru Kotha he Isor ase.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Etu shuru pora Isor logote he thakise.
3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being.
Sob jinis Tai pora he bonaise, aru ki bonaise Tai nathaki kene eku bhi bona nai.
4 In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men.
Tai logote jibon asele, aru jibon to manu khan laga pohor asele.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
Aru pohor to andhera te ujala korise, aru andhera to pohor ke jitibo para nai.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Isor pora pathai diya ekjon manu asele, jun laga naam John thakise.
7 He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony concerning the Light--so that all might believe through him.
Tai gawahi hoi ahise, pohor laga kotha jonai dibole, aru sob Tai dwara biswas kori bole.
8 He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.
John nijor to pohor nohoi, kintu tai pohor laga gawahi dibole ahise.
9 The true Light was that which illumines every man by its coming into the world.
Sob manu ke pohor dibole asol pohor duniya te ahi thakise.
10 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through Him, and the world did not recognize Him.
Tai duniya te thakisele, aru Tai he duniya bonaise, kintu duniya pora Taike janibo para nai.
11 He came to the things that were His own, and His own people gave Him no welcome.
Tai nijor manu khan majote ahise, kintu Tai nijor manu khan pora Taike luwa nai.
12 But all who have received Him, to them--that is, to those who trust in His name--He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;
Kintu jiman jon pora Taike grohon korise, Tai he taikhan ke Isor laga bacha hobole adhikar dise, jun Tai naam pora biswas kori loise.
13 who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.
Taikhan jonom to khun pora bhi nohoi, mangso pora bhi nohoi, aru mangso itcha pora bhi nohoi, kintu Isor laga itcha pora ase.
14 And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory--the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.
Aru Kotha to gaw mangso hoi kene amikhan majote thakise. Amikhan Tai laga mohima dikhise, eneka mohima juntu Baba pora tai laga ekjon morom thaka Putro ke dise, aru etu anugraha aru hosa pora bhorta ase.
15 John gave testimony concerning Him and cried aloud, saying, "This is He of whom I said, 'He who is coming after me has been put before me,' for He was before me."
John pora Tai laga gawahi dikene eneka koise, “Etu he ekjon ase Jun nimite moi koise, ‘Jun moi laga piche ahi ase, Tai to moi pora bhi bisi dangor ase, kelemane moi laga age pora Tai thakise.’”
16 For He it is from whose fulness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
Aru Tai bhorta hoi thaka pora amikhan anugraha uporte anugraha paise.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Kelemane niyom to Moses dwara anidise. Kintu anugraha aru hosa to Jisu Khrista pora he anise.
18 No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom--He has made Him known.
Isor ke kun bhi kitia bhi dikha nai. Ekjon Isor, jun Baba laga usorte bohi ase, etu ke he Tai dikhai dise.
19 This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him who he was.
John laga gawahi etu ase, Yehudi khan Jerusalem sheher pora Levi dol laga purohit khan ke pathaise taike hudibole, “Apuni kun ase?”
20 He avowed--he did not conceal the truth, but avowed, "I am not the Christ."
Tai shikar kori kene koise- “Moi Khrista nohoi.”
21 "What then?" they inquired; "are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.
Aru taikhan hudise, “Nohoile apuni kun ase? Apuni Elijah ase?” Tai koise, “Moi nohoi.” Taikhan koise, “Apuni bhabobadi ase?” Aru tai jawab dise, “Nohoi.”
22 So they pressed the question. "Who are you?" they said--"that we may take an answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"
Arubi taikhan taike hudise, “Apuni kun ase? Kilekoile amikhan ke pathai diya khan ke jowab dibo lage. Apuni nijorke kun ase koi?”
23 "I am the voice," he replied, "of one crying aloud, 'Make straight the Lord's way in the Desert,' fulfilling the words of the Prophet Isaiah."
Tai koise, “Ami ekta awaj ase, juntu jongol te hala kori koi ase: ‘Probhu laga rasta sidha koribi,’ Jineka bhabobadi Isaiah pora likhise.”
24 They were Pharisees who had been sent.
Aru ta te Pharisee khan pora kunba manu khan ke pathaise.
25 Again they questioned him. "Why then do you baptize," they said, "if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?"
Aru taikhan taike hudise, “Jodi apuni Khrista nohoi, Elijah bhi nohoi, aru bhabobadi bhi nohoi, to kele apuni baptizma di ase?”
26 "I baptize in water only," John answered, "but in your midst stands One whom you do not know--
John taikhan ke jawab dise aru koise, “Moi pani pora baptizma di thaka he ase. Kintu tumikhan majote ekjon khara ase, Junke tumikhan najane.
27 He who is to come after me, and whose sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten."
Jun moi pichete ahi ase moi Tai laga juta laga rusi bhi khuli bole layak manu nohoi.”
28 This conversation took place at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Etu sob to Jordan nodi laga dusra phale thaka Bethany te hoise, kun to jagate John baptizma di thakise.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, "Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin of the world!
Dusra dinte Jisu tai logote ahi thaka dikhikena John koise, “Sabi, Isor laga Mer bacha, kun pora etu duniya laga paap uthai loi jabole ase!
30 This is He about whom I said, 'After me is to come One who has been put before me, because He was before me.'
Etu he ase, Kun laga kotha moi age pora koi dise, ‘Ekjon ami laga piche ahi ase, Jun he moi pora bhi dangor ase, kelemane moi pora poila Tai thakisele.’
31 I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water."
Moi bhi Taike najane. Kintu Israel manu khan logot Taike prokahit kori dibo karone moi pani pora baptizma di ahise.”
32 John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him.
Aru John etu gawahi dikene koise, “Atma he paro nisena sorgo pora ahikena Tai uporte bohi juwa moi dikhise.
33 I did not yet know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, "'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down, and remaining, He it is who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
Moi Taike najane kintu Jun he moike pani pora baptizma dibole pathaise, Tai he moike koise, ‘Jun uporte Atma ahi thaki juwa tumi dikhibo, Tai he Pobitro Atma pora baptizma dibo thaka to ase.’
34 "This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is the Son of God."
Aru moi etu dikhi kene gawahi di ase, etu he Isor laga Putro ase.”
35 Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,
Dusra dinte John pora tai laga duijon chela ke loi kene khara thakise.
36 when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!"
Titia Jisu berai kene aha dikhi kene tai koise, “Sabi, Isor laga Mer bacha!”
37 The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.
Titia duijon chela etu huni kene Jisu laga piche korise.
38 Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, "What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--'Rabbi' means 'Teacher' --"where are you staying?"
Titia Jisu ghuri saise aru tai duijon ke dikhi kene hudise, “Tumikhan ke ki lage?” Taikhan koise, “Rabbi, Apuni kot te thaki ase? - Etu motlob to Shika manu- Apuni kot te thake?”
39 "Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.
Tai koise, “Ahi kene sabi.” Taikhan jai kene Tai kot te thaki ase etu dikhise, aru etu din Tai logote thaki jaise, aru etu somoi to dos ghanta nisena asele.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John's exclamation and followed Jesus.
Duijon majote kun John laga kotha huni kene Jisu logote jaise, etu ekjon to Simon Peter laga bhai Andrew thakise.
41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" --that is to say, the Anointed One.
Tai Simon ke bisari kene koise, “Amikhan Messiah ke pai loise,” motlob ase Khrista.
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas" --that is to say, Peter (or 'Rock').
Aru taike loi kene Jisu logot anise, aru Jisu taike saikene koise, “O Jonah laga Putro Simon, tumike Kefa matibo” - dusra naam ase Peter.
43 The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him.
Dusra din Jisu to Galilee jagate jabole mon thakise, titia Tai Philip ke lok paise aru taike koise, “Ami laga piche koribi.”
44 (Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.)
Philip to Bethsaida nogor laga manu asele, juntu sheher to Andrew aru Peter laga sheher asele.
45 Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth."
Jitia Philip pora Nathaniel ke paise, tai koise, “Moses laga kitab te aru bhabobadi khan he jun laga kotha likhi rakhise, etu amikhan pai loise: etu Joseph laga chokra Nazareth Jisu he ase.”
46 "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. "Come and see," said Philip.
Kintu Nathaniel taike koise, “Bhal bostu Nazareth pora ulabo naki?” Philip pora taike koise, “Ahibi aru sabi.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, "Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!"
Titia Jisu pora Nathaniel Tai phale aha dikhi kene koise, “Sabi, etu hosa te Israel manu ase, tai thogai diya manu nohoi!”
48 "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you."
Nathaniel Taike koise, “Apuni moike kineka jane?” Jisu taike jowab di koise, “Philip pora tumike mata age te tumi dimoru ghas niche bohi thaka Moi dikhise.”
49 "Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!"
Nathaniel Taike jowab dise, “Rabbi, Apuni Isor laga Chora ase! Apuni Israel laga Raja ase!”
50 "Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig-tree,'" replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater things than that."
Jisu jowab te taike koise, “kelemane Moi tumike koise, ‘Moi Tumike dimoru ghas nichete bohi thaka dikhise’ kowa karone tumi biswas korise? Tumi etu pora bhi bisi dangor kaam dikhibo.”
51 "I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to the Son of Man."
Aru Jisu taike koise, “Hosa pora Moi tumikhan ke kobo, tumikhan sorgo khuli diya, aru Isor laga duth khan pora Manu laga Putro uporte aha juwa kora dikhibo.”
