< John 1 >

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word himself was with Aloha, and Aloha was the Word himself.
2 this one was in the beginning with God;
This was in the beginning with Aloha.
3 all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened.
Every thing by his hand was made; and without him also was not one thing made that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men,
In him was life, and the life is the light of the sons of man;
5 and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.
and the Light himself in the darkness shineth, and the darkness perceived him not.
6 There came a man — having been sent from God — whose name [is] John,
There was a man who was sent from Aloha, his name (was) Juchanon.
7 this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
He came for the testimony, to testify concerning the Light, that all men might believe through his ministry.
8 that one was not the Light, but — that he might testify about the Light.
He was not the Light himself, but came to testify concerning the Light.
9 He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;
For that was the true Light that enlighteneth every man who cometh into the world.
10 in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:
In the world was he, and the world by his hand had been made, and the world knew him not.
11 to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;
He came to his own, and his own received him not.
12 but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God — to those believing in his name,
But they who received him, he gave to them power, that the sons of Aloha they should become, to those who believe in his name.
13 who — not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but — of God were begotten.
These, not from blood, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from Aloha, are born.
14 And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.
And the Word flesh was made, and tabernacled with us; and we saw his glory, the glory as of the one-begotten who (was) from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, 'This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'
Juchanon testified concerning him, and cried, and said, This is he of whom I said, that he cometh after me, and was before me, because he is anterior to me.
16 and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;
And from his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
17 for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;
For the law by the hand of Musha was given; but the truth and the grace were by Jeshu Meshicha.
18 God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father — he did declare.
ALOHA no man hath ever seen: the one-begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, 'Who art thou?'
And this was the testimony of Juchanon, when the Jihudoyee sent to him from Urishlem priests and Levoyee to demand of him, Who art thou?
20 and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed — 'I am not the Christ.'
And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Meshicha.
21 And they questioned him, 'What then? Elijah art thou?' and he saith, 'I am not.' — 'The prophet art thou?' and he answered, 'No.'
And they asked him again, What then? art thou Elia? And he said, I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he said, No.
22 They said then to him, 'Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those sending us? what dost thou say concerning thyself?'
And they said to him, And who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 He said, 'I [am] a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.'
He saith, I am the voice which crieth in the wilderness, Make plain the way of the Lord, as said Eshaia the prophet.
24 And those sent were of the Pharisees,
But they who were sent were from the Pharishee.
25 and they questioned him and said to him, 'Why, then, dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?'
And they demanded and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Meshicha, nor Elia, nor the Prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, 'I baptize with water, but in midst of you he hath stood whom ye have not known, this one it is who is coming after me, who hath been before me,
Juchanon answered and said to them, I baptize you with waters; but he standeth among you whom you know not:
27 of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the cord of his sandal.'
he it is who cometh after me, and he was before me; he, the latchets of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing,
These things were done in Bethania, at the passage of the Jurdan, where Juchanon was baptizing.
29 on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;
AND the day after, Juchanon seeth Jeshu, who was coming to him; and he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha, who beareth the sin of the world!
30 this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me:
This is he concerning whom I said, After me cometh a man, and he was before me, because he is anterior to me.
31 and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing.
And I knew him not, but that he should be made known unto Isroel, therefore have I come with waters to baptize.
32 And John testified, saying — 'I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him;
And Juchanon testified and said, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven as a dove, and it remained upon him.
33 and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayest see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;
And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me, He upon whom thou seest the Spirit descend and remain, this baptizeth with the Spirit of Holiness:
34 and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.'
and I saw, and bare witness that this is the Son of Aloha
35 On the morrow, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,
And the day after Juchanon stood, and two of his disciples;
36 and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God;'
and, contemplating Jeshu as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha!
37 and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
And his two disciples heard him as he spake, and they went after Jeshu.
38 And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, saith to them, 'What seek ye?' and they said to them, 'Rabbi, (which is, being interpreted, Teacher, ) where remainest thou?'
And Jeshu turned (himself), and saw them coming after him, and said to them, Whom seek you? They say to him, Raban, where dwellest thou?
39 He saith to them, 'Come and see;' they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the hour was about the tenth.
He saith to them, Come and see. And they went and saw where he dwelt; and they were with him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed him;
Now one of those who heard Juchanon and went after Jeshu, was Andreas, the brother of Shemun.
41 this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith to him, 'We have found the Messiah,' (which is, being interpreted, The Anointed, )
This saw first Shemun his brother, and said to him, We have found the Meshicha;
42 and he brought him unto Jesus: and having looked upon him, Jesus saith, 'Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas,' (which is interpreted, A rock.)
and he brought him to Jeshu. And Jeshu saw him, and said, Thou art Shemun bar Jona; thou shalt be called Kipha.
43 On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, 'Be following me.'
AND the day following Jeshu willed to go forth into Galila. And he found Philipos, and said to him, Come after me.
44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;
Now Philipos was from Beth-tsaida, from the city of Andreas and of Shemun.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, 'Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who [is] from Nazareth;'
Philipos found Nathanael, and said to him, Him of whom Musha in the law, and the prophets, did write we have found, (and) that Jeshu (is) he, the son of Jauseph who is from Natsrath.
46 and Nathanael said to him, 'Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?' Philip said to him, 'Come and see.'
Saith to him Nathanael, From Natsrath can any good thing be? Philipos saith to him, Come and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, 'Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;'
And Jeshu saw Nathanael as he was coming to him, and said of him, Behold truly a son of Isroel who hath no guile in him.
48 Nathanael saith to him, 'Whence me dost thou know?' Jesus answered and said to him, 'Before Philip's calling thee — thou being under the fig-tree — I saw thee.'
Nathanael saith to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jeshu saith to him, While yet Philipos had not called thee, while thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered and saith to him, 'Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.'
Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabi, thou art the Son of Aloha himself, thou art the very King of Isroel.
50 Jesus answered and said to him, 'Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou dost believe; greater things than these thou shalt see;'
Jeshu saith to him, Upon my telling thee that I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Greater things than these thou shalt see.
51 and he saith to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.'
He saith to him, Amen, amen, I say to you, Hereafter you shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of Aloha ascending and descending unto the Son of man.
