< Κατα Ιωαννην 1 >
1 εν αρχη ην ο λογοσ και ο λογοσ ην προσ τον θεον και θεοσ ην ο λογοσ
B'resheet ·In the beginning of the beginning· was ha D'var ·the Word·, and ha D'var ·the Word· was with God, and ha D'var ·the Word· was God.
2 ουτοσ ην εν αρχη προσ τον θεον
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 παντα δι αυτου εγενετο και χωρισ αυτου εγενετο ουδε εν ο γεγονεν
All things came to be through him and without him nothing made had being.
4 εν αυτω ζωη ην και η ζωη ην το φωσ των ανθρωπων
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 και το φωσ εν τη σκοτια φαινει και η σκοτια αυτο ου κατελαβεν
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 εγενετο ανθρωποσ απεσταλμενοσ παρα θεου ονομα αυτω ιωαννησ
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John [Yah is gracious].
7 ουτοσ ηλθεν εισ μαρτυριαν ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτοσ ινα παντεσ πιστευσωσιν δι αυτου
The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might trust through him.
8 ουκ ην εκεινοσ το φωσ αλλ ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτοσ
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 ην το φωσ το αληθινον ο φωτιζει παντα ανθρωπον ερχομενον εισ τον κοσμον
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 εν τω κοσμω ην και ο κοσμοσ δι αυτου εγενετο και ο κοσμοσ αυτον ουκ εγνω
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
11 εισ τα ιδια ηλθεν και οι ιδιοι αυτον ου παρελαβον
He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
12 οσοι δε ελαβον αυτον εδωκεν αυτοισ εξουσιαν τεκνα θεου γενεσθαι τοισ πιστευουσιν εισ το ονομα αυτου
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who trust in his name:
13 οι ουκ εξ αιματων ουδε εκ θεληματοσ σαρκοσ ουδε εκ θεληματοσ ανδροσ αλλ εκ θεου εγεννηθησαν
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 και ο λογοσ σαρξ εγενετο και εσκηνωσεν εν ημιν και εθεασαμεθα την δοξαν αυτου δοξαν ωσ μονογενουσ παρα πατροσ πληρησ χαριτοσ και αληθειασ
Ha D'var ·The Word· became flesh, and tabernacled among us. We saw his shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God·, such shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God· as of the one and only Son of the Abba ·Father·, full of grace and truth.
15 ιωαννησ μαρτυρει περι αυτου και κεκραγεν λεγων ουτοσ ην ον ειπον ο οπισω μου ερχομενοσ εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν οτι πρωτοσ μου ην
John [Yah is gracious] testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
16 και εκ του πληρωματοσ αυτου ημεισ παντεσ ελαβομεν και χαριν αντι χαριτοσ
From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
17 οτι ο νομοσ δια μωσεωσ εδοθη η χαρισ και η αληθεια δια ιησου χριστου εγενετο
For the Torah ·Teaching· was given through Moses [Drawn out]; grace and truth came through Yeshua Messiah [Salvation Anointed one].
18 θεον ουδεισ εωρακεν πωποτε ο μονογενησ υιοσ ο ων εισ τον κολπον του πατροσ εκεινοσ εξηγησατο
No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, he has declared him.
19 και αυτη εστιν η μαρτυρια του ιωαννου οτε απεστειλαν οι ιουδαιοι εξ ιεροσολυμων ιερεισ και λευιτασ ινα ερωτησωσιν αυτον συ τισ ει
This is John [Yah is gracious]’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites [Descendants of United with] from Jerusalem [City of peace] to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 και ωμολογησεν και ουκ ηρνησατο και ωμολογησεν οτι ουκ ειμι εγω ο χριστοσ
He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Messiah [Anointed one].”
21 και ηρωτησαν αυτον τι ουν ηλιασ ει συ και λεγει ουκ ειμι ο προφητησ ει συ και απεκριθη ου
They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah [My God Yah]?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet (promised Messiah)?” He answered, “No.”
22 ειπον ουν αυτω τισ ει ινα αποκρισιν δωμεν τοισ πεμψασιν ημασ τι λεγεισ περι σεαυτου
They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 εφη εγω φωνη βοωντοσ εν τη ερημω ευθυνατε την οδον κυριου καθωσ ειπεν ησαιασ ο προφητησ
He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of MarYah [Master Yahweh],’ as Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] the prophet said.”
24 και οι απεσταλμενοι ησαν εκ των φαρισαιων
The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees [Separated].
25 και ηρωτησαν αυτον και ειπον αυτω τι ουν βαπτιζεισ ει συ ουκ ει ο χριστοσ ουτε ηλιασ ουτε ο προφητησ
They asked him, “Why then do you mikvah ·baptise·, if you are not the Messiah [Anointed one], nor Elijah [My God Yah], nor the prophet (promised Messiah)?”
26 απεκριθη αυτοισ ο ιωαννησ λεγων εγω βαπτιζω εν υδατι μεσοσ δε υμων εστηκεν ον υμεισ ουκ οιδατε
John [Yah is gracious] answered them, “I mikvah ·baptise· in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
27 αυτοσ εστιν ο οπισω μου ερχομενοσ οσ εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν ου εγω ουκ ειμι αξιοσ ινα λυσω αυτου τον ιμαντα του υποδηματοσ
He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
28 ταυτα εν βηθανια εγενετο περαν του ιορδανου οπου ην ιωαννησ βαπτιζων
These things were done in Bethany [House of affliction] beyond the Jordan [Descender], where John [Yah is gracious] was baptizing.
29 τη επαυριον βλεπει τον ιησουν ερχομενον προσ αυτον και λεγει ιδε ο αμνοσ του θεου ο αιρων την αμαρτιαν του κοσμου
The next day, he saw Yeshua [Salvation] coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the abstract sin ·miss the mark· of the world!
30 ουτοσ εστιν περι ου εγω ειπον οπισω μου ερχεται ανηρ οσ εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν οτι πρωτοσ μου ην
This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
31 καγω ουκ ηδειν αυτον αλλ ινα φανερωθη τω ισραηλ δια τουτο ηλθον εγω εν τω υδατι βαπτιζων
I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel [God prevails].”
32 και εμαρτυρησεν ιωαννησ λεγων οτι τεθεαμαι το πνευμα καταβαινον ωσει περιστεραν εξ ουρανου και εμεινεν επ αυτον
John [Yah is gracious] testified, saying, “I have seen haRuach [the Spirit, Breath] descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 καγω ουκ ηδειν αυτον αλλ ο πεμψασ με βαπτιζειν εν υδατι εκεινοσ μοι ειπεν εφ ον αν ιδησ το πνευμα καταβαινον και μενον επ αυτον ουτοσ εστιν ο βαπτιζων εν πνευματι αγιω
I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to mikvah ·baptise· in water, he said to me, ‘On whomever you will see haRuach [the Spirit, Breath] descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who does mikvah ·baptise· in Ruach haKodesh [Spirit, Breath of the Holiness].’
34 καγω εωρακα και μεμαρτυρηκα οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ του θεου
I have seen, and have testified that this is the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.”
35 τη επαυριον παλιν ειστηκει ο ιωαννησ και εκ των μαθητων αυτου δυο
Again, the next day, John [Yah is gracious] was standing with two of his disciples,
36 και εμβλεψασ τω ιησου περιπατουντι λεγει ιδε ο αμνοσ του θεου
and he looked at Yeshua [Salvation] as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
37 και ηκουσαν αυτου οι δυο μαθηται λαλουντοσ και ηκολουθησαν τω ιησου
The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Yeshua [Salvation].
38 στραφεισ δε ο ιησουσ και θεασαμενοσ αυτουσ ακολουθουντασ λεγει αυτοισ τι ζητειτε οι δε ειπον αυτω ραββι ο λεγεται ερμηνευομενον διδασκαλε που μενεισ
Yeshua [Salvation] turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi!” (Which is to say, being interpreted, ·Teacher·). “Where are you staying?”
39 λεγει αυτοισ ερχεσθε και ιδετε ηλθον και ειδον που μενει και παρ αυτω εμειναν την ημεραν εκεινην ωρα ην ωσ δεκατη
He said to them, “Come, and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.
40 ην ανδρεασ ο αδελφοσ σιμωνοσ πετρου εισ εκ των δυο των ακουσαντων παρα ιωαννου και ακολουθησαντων αυτω
One of the two who heard John [Yah is gracious], and followed him, was Andrew [Manly], Simeon Peter [Hearing Rock]’s brother.
41 ευρισκει ουτοσ πρωτοσ τον αδελφον τον ιδιον σιμωνα και λεγει αυτω ευρηκαμεν τον μεσιαν ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον χριστοσ
He first found his own brother, Simeon [Hearing], and said to him, “We have found the Messiah [Anointed one]!” (which is, being interpreted, Moshiach ·Anointed one·).
42 και ηγαγεν αυτον προσ τον ιησουν εμβλεψασ αυτω ο ιησουσ ειπεν συ ει σιμων ο υιοσ ιωνα συ κληθηση κηφασ ο ερμηνευεται πετροσ
He brought him to Yeshua [Salvation]. Yeshua [Salvation] looked at him, and said, “You are Simeon [Hearing] the son of Jonah [Dove]. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter [Rock]).
43 τη επαυριον ηθελησεν εξελθειν εισ την γαλιλαιαν και ευρισκει φιλιππον και λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ ακολουθει μοι
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee [District, Circuit], and he found Philip [Loves horses]. Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Follow me.”
44 ην δε ο φιλιπποσ απο βηθσαιδα εκ τησ πολεωσ ανδρεου και πετρου
Now Philip [Loves horses] was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew [Manly] and Peter [Rock].
45 ευρισκει φιλιπποσ τον ναθαναηλ και λεγει αυτω ον εγραψεν μωσησ εν τω νομω και οι προφηται ευρηκαμεν ιησουν τον υιον του ιωσηφ τον απο ναζαρετ
Philip [Loves horses] found Nathanael [Given by God], and said to him, “We have found the one that Moses [Drawn out] wrote about in the Torah ·Teaching·, and the Prophets— it is Yeshua [Salvation] son of Joseph [May he add] from Nazareth [Branch, Separated one].”
46 και ειπεν αυτω ναθαναηλ εκ ναζαρετ δυναται τι αγαθον ειναι λεγει αυτω φιλιπποσ ερχου και ιδε
Nathanael [Given by God] said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one]?” Philip [Loves horses] said to him, “Come and see.”
47 ειδεν ο ιησουσ τον ναθαναηλ ερχομενον προσ αυτον και λεγει περι αυτου ιδε αληθωσ ισραηλιτησ εν ω δολοσ ουκ εστιν
Yeshua [Salvation] saw Nathanael [Given by God] coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite [Descendant of God prevails] indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
48 λεγει αυτω ναθαναηλ ποθεν με γινωσκεισ απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω προ του σε φιλιππον φωνησαι οντα υπο την συκην ειδον σε
Nathanael [Given by God] said to him, “How do you know me?” Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Before Philip [Loves horses] called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 απεκριθη ναθαναηλ και λεγει αυτω ραββι συ ει ο υιοσ του θεου συ ει ο βασιλευσ του ισραηλ
Nathanael [Given by God] answered him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, you are the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·! You are Melek Isra'el [King of God prevails]!”
50 απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω οτι ειπον σοι ειδον σε υποκατω τησ συκησ πιστευεισ μειζω τουτων οψει
Yeshua [Salvation] answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you trust? You will see greater things than these!”
51 και λεγει αυτω αμην αμην λεγω υμιν απ αρτι οψεσθε τον ουρανον ανεωγοτα και τουσ αγγελουσ του θεου αναβαινοντασ και καταβαινοντασ επι τον υιον του ανθρωπου
He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
