Jan 1
1 Anvan Bondye te kreye anyen, Pawòl la te la. Pawòl la te avèk Bondye. Sa Bondye te ye, se sa Pawòl la te ye tou.
In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
2 Pawòl la te la avèk Bondye depi nan konmansman.
This same was in the beginning with God.
3 Se ak Pawòl la Bondye fè tout bagay. Nan tou sa ki te fèt, pa t' gen anyen ki te fèt san Pawòl la.
All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
4 Lavi, se nan li sa te ye. Se lavi sa a ki te bay tout moun limyè.
In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
5 Limyè a klere nan fènwa a. Men, fènwa a pa t' resevwa li.
And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
6 Bondye te voye yon nonm ki te rele Jan.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
7 Li te vin sèvi temwen pou pale sou limyè a. Li te vini pou tout moun ki te tande mesaj li a te ka kwè.
This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
8 Se pa li menm ki te limyè a. Li te vin pou sèvi temwen pou pale sou limyè a.
He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
9 Limyè sa a, se li ki limyè tout bon an. Se li menm ki vin sou latè epi k'ap klere tout moun.
This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
10 Pawòl la te nan lemonn. Se ak Pawòl la Bondye te fè tou sa ki nan lemonn; men, moun ki nan lemonn pa t' rekonèt li.
He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
11 Li vin nan peyi l'; men tout moun nan peyi l' pa t' resevwa li.
He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
12 Men, sa ki te resevwa l' yo, sa ki te kwè nan li yo, li ba yo pouvwa tounen pitit Bondye.
But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name.
13 Yo pa t' vin pitit Bondye jan sa fèt pami lèzòm sou latè, paske sa pa t' soti nan egzijans lachè, ni nan volonte lèzòm. Se Bondye menm ki te papa yo.
Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
14 Pawòl la tounen moun. Li te vin viv nan mitan nou, li mennen yon lavi ki te konfòm nèt ak verite a, ak renmen nan tout kè li. Nou wè pouvwa li, se te pouvwa Bondye Papa a te bay sèl Pitit li a.
And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs, (and we sawe the glorie thereof, as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father) full of grace and trueth.
15 Se li menm Jan Batis t'ap pale a, lè l' te di byen fò: Men moun mwen t'ap pale nou an, lè m' te di nou: L'ap vin apre mwen. Men, li gen plis pouvwa pase m', paske li te la anvan mwen.
Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I.
16 Nou tout nou resevwa pa nou nan tout kantite byen l' yo. Li ban nou favè sou favè.
And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
17 Bondye fè Moyiz ban nou lalwa. Men, se Jezikri ki fè nou konnen renmen Bondye a ansanm ak verite a.
For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
18 Pesonn pa janm wè Bondye. Men, sèl Pitit Bondye a, li menm ki Bondye tou, li menm k'ap viv kòtakòt ak Papa a, se li menm ki fè moun konnen Bondye.
No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 Men sa Jan Batis te di lè jwif ki lavil Jerizalèm yo te voye kèk prèt ak kèk moun Levi vin mande l' ki moun li ye.
Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
20 Jan pa t' refize reponn yo, li di yo kareman devan tout moun: Se pa mwen ki Kris la.
And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
21 Yo mande li: Ki moun ou ye atò? Ou se Eli? Jan reponn yo: Non, mwen pa Eli. Yo di li: Ou se pwofèt la? Li reponn yo: Non.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Lè sa a yo di li: Ki moun ou ye menm? Paske, nou gen pou n' pote yon repons bay moun ki voye nou yo. Ki moun ou di ou ye?
Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe?
23 Jan reponn: Mwen se vwa nonm k'ap rele nan dezè a: Plani chemen an byen plani pou Mèt la! (Se sa pwofèt Ezayi te di.)
He said, I am the voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias.
24 Gen nan moun yo te voye bò kot Jan yo ki te soti lakay farizyen yo.
Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
25 Yo mande li: Si ou pa ni Kris la, ni Eli, ni pwofèt la, di nou poukisa w'ap batize moun?
And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
26 Jan reponn yo: Mwen menm, mwen batize nou nan dlo. Men, nan mitan nou la a, gen yon moun nou pa konnen.
Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
27 L'ap vin apre m', men mwen pa bon ase pou m' ta demare kòd sapat li.
He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
28 Tout bagay sa yo t'ap pase kote yo rele Betani an, lòt bò larivyè Jouden kote Jan t'ap batize a.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
29 Nan denmen, Jan wè Jezi ki t'ap vin jwenn li, li di: Men ti mouton Bondye a k'ap wete peche moun sou tout latè.
The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.
30 Men moun mwen t'ap pale nou an, lè m' te di nou gen yon nonm k'ap vin apre m' men ki gen plis pouvwa pase m', paske li te la anvan mwen.
This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
31 Mwen pa t' konnen ki moun sa tapral ye. Men, mwen vin batize nou nan dlo pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo te ka rekonèt li.
And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
32 Jan di yo ankò: Mwen wè Lespri Bondye a desann sot nan syèl la tankou yon ti pijon, li rete sou tèt li.
So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
33 Lè sa a, mwen pa t' ankò konnen ki moun li te ye. Men, Bondye ki te voye m' batize nan dlo a, te di m': Wa wè Lespri Bondye a desann. La rete sou tèt yon nonm: Se li menm ki gen pou batize moun nan Sentespri.
And I knewe him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he saide vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come downe, and tary still on him, that is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost.
34 Jan di yo ankò: Mwen wè sa ak je m', se sa ki fè mwen di nou se li ki Pitit Bondye a vre.
And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
35 Nan denmen, Jan te menm kote a ankò ak de nan patizan li yo.
The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
36 Li wè Jezi ki t'ap pase, li di: Men ti mouton Bondye a.
And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
37 De patizan yo tande sa Jan t'ap di a, yo pran swiv Jezi.
And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
38 Jezi vire tèt li gade, li wè yo t'ap swiv li. Li mande yo: Sa n'ap chache? Yo mande li: Ki kote ou rete, Rabi? (Mo rabi sa a vle di mèt.)
Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou?
39 Li reponn yo: Vini non, n'a wè. Y' ale vre. Yo wè kote l' te rete a. Yo pase rès jounen an avè li. (Li te vè katrè konsa nan apremidi.)
He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre.
40 Andre, frè Simon Pyè a, te yonn nan de moun ki te tande sa Jan te di a epi ki te swiv Jezi.
Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
41 Premye moun Andre rankontre se te Simon, frè li. Li di li konsa: Nou jwenn Mesi a (ki vle di: Kris la).
The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
42 Li mennen Simon bay Jezi. Jezi gade l', li di: Se ou menm Simon, pitit Jan an? Y'a rele ou Sefas. (Se menm bagay ak Pyè, ki vle di wòch.)
And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone.
43 Nan denmen, Jezi te fè lide ale nan peyi Galile. Li jwenn Filip sou wout la, li di li: Swiv mwen.
The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
44 (Filip te moun lavil Betsayda, kote Andre ak Pyè te rete a.)
Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
45 Apre sa, Filip jwenn Natanayèl. Li di li: Nou jwenn moun Moyiz te pale nou nan liv lalwa a, moun pwofèt yo te pale a tou. Se Jezi, moun lavil Nazarèt, pitit gason Jozèf la.
Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth.
46 Natanayèl di li: Ki bon bagay ki ka soti Nazarèt? Filip reponn li: Vini non, wa wè.
Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
47 Lè Jezi wè Natanayèl ap vin bò kote l', li di sou li: Men yon moun pèp Izrayèl tout bon. Se yon nonm ki pa gen riz nan li.
Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
48 Natanayèl mande li: Ki jan ou fè konnen mwen? Jezi reponn li: Anvan Filip te rele ou la, mwen te wè ou lè ou te anba pye fig frans lan.
Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee.
49 Lè sa a, Natanayèl di li: Mèt, ou se Pitit Bondye a. Ou se wa pèp Izrayèl la!
Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
50 Jezi reponn li: Paske mwen di ou mwen te wè ou anba fig frans lan, poutèt sa ase ou kwè? Ou gen pou wè bagay pi gwo pase sa.
Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these.
51 Apre sa, li di yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: N'a wè syèl la louvri, avèk zanj Bondye yo k'ap moute desann sou Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a.
And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man.
