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.
Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God.
2 Pawòl la te la avèk Bondye depi nan konmansman.
The same, was originally, 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, through him, came into existence, and, without him, came into existence, not even one thing: that which hath come into existence,
4 Lavi, se nan li sa te ye. Se lavi sa a ki te bay tout moun limyè.
in him, was, life, and, the life, was, the light of men.—
5 Limyè a klere nan fènwa a. Men, fènwa a pa t' resevwa li.
And, the light, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold.
6 Bondye te voye yon nonm ki te rele Jan.
There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John:
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.
The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him.
8 Se pa li menm ki te limyè a. Li te vin pou sèvi temwen pou pale sou limyè a.
He, was not the light, —but, that he might bear witness concerning the 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.
It, was—The real light that enlighteneth every man—Coming 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.
In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not.
11 Li vin nan peyi l'; men tout moun nan peyi l' pa t' resevwa li.
Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.
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 did receive him, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become, —unto them who were believing on 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.
Who—not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but—of God, were born.
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, the Word, became, flesh, and pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory, —a glory, as an Only-begotten from his Father. Full of favour and truth.
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.
(John beareth witness concerning him, and hath cried aloud, saying—the same, was he that said—He who, after me, was coming, before me, hath advanced; because, my Chief, was he.)
16 Nou tout nou resevwa pa nou nan tout kantite byen l' yo. Li ban nou favè sou favè.
Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour.
17 Bondye fè Moyiz ban nou lalwa. Men, se Jezikri ki fè nou konnen renmen Bondye a ansanm ak verite a.
Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence.
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 one, hath seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [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.
And, this, is the witness of John, when the Jews sent forth unto him, out of Jerusalem, priests and Levites, —that they might question 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 did not deny, —and he confessed—I, am not, the 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 questioned him—What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith—I am not; The prophet, art, thou? 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?
So they said unto him—Who, art thou? that, an answer, we may give, unto them who sent us, —What sayest thou, concerning thyself?
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 a Voice, of one crying aloud; —In the desert, make ye straight, the way of the Lord: according as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 Gen nan moun yo te voye bò kot Jan yo ki te soti lakay farizyen yo.
And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees;
25 Yo mande li: Si ou pa ni Kris la, ni Eli, ni pwofèt la, di nou poukisa w'ap batize moun?
and they questioned him, and said unto him—Why, then, dost thou immerse, —if, thou, art not, the Christ, nor Elijah, nor, the Prophet?
26 Jan reponn yo: Mwen menm, mwen batize nou nan dlo. Men, nan mitan nou la a, gen yon moun nou pa konnen.
John answered them, saying—I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; —
27 L'ap vin apre m', men mwen pa bon ase pou m' ta demare kòd sapat li.
after me, coming: —Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.
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, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
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.
On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith—See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin 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, said—After me, cometh a man, who, before me, hath advanced, because, my Chief, was he.
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, knew him not, but, that he might be manifested unto Israel, therefore, came, I, in water, immersing.
32 Jan di yo ankò: Mwen wè Lespri Bondye a desann sot nan syèl la tankou yon ti pijon, li rete sou tèt li.
And John bare witness, saying—I have gazed upon the Spirit, descending like a dove, out of heaven, —and it abode upon 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, knew him not, —but, he that sent me to immerse in water, he, unto me, said—Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding upon him, the same, is he that immerseth in Holy Spirit.
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.
I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness—That, this, is, the, Son of God.
35 Nan denmen, Jan te menm kote a ankò ak de nan patizan li yo.
On the morrow, again, was John standing, and, from among his disciples, two;
36 Li wè Jezi ki t'ap pase, li di: Men ti mouton Bondye a.
and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith—See! the Lamb of God!
37 De patizan yo tande sa Jan t'ap di a, yo pran swiv Jezi.
and the two disciples hearkened unto him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
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.)
But Jesus, turning, and looking at them following, saith unto them—What seek ye? And, they, said unto him—Rabbi! which meaneth, when translated, Teacher, Where abidest 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 saith unto them—Be coming, and ye shall see. They came, therefore, and saw where he abode, and, with him, they abode that day. It was about the tenth, hour.
40 Andre, frè Simon Pyè a, te yonn nan de moun ki te tande sa Jan te di a epi ki te swiv Jezi.
One of the two that heard from John and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
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 findeth, first, his own brother Simon, and saith unto him—We have found the Messiah! which is, when translated, Anointed.
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.)
He led him unto Jesus. Jesus, looking at him, said—Thou, art Simon, the son of John, —thou, shalt be called, Cephas; which is to be translated, Peter.
43 Nan denmen, Jezi te fè lide ale nan peyi Galile. Li jwenn Filip sou wout la, li di li: Swiv mwen.
On the morrow, he desired to go forth into Galilee. And Jesus findeth Philip, and saith unto him—Be following me!
44 (Filip te moun lavil Betsayda, kote Andre ak Pyè te rete a.)
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city 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.
Philip, findeth, Nathanael, and saith unto him—Him, of whom wrote Moses in the law, and the Prophets, have we found.—Jesus, son of Joseph, him from Nazareth!
46 Natanayèl di li: Ki bon bagay ki ka soti Nazarèt? Filip reponn li: Vini non, wa wè.
And Nathanael said unto him—Out of Nazareth, can any good thing come? Philip saith unto 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.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and saith concerning him—See! Truly, 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 saith unto him—Whence, dost thou, know, me? Jesus answered, and said unto him—Before Philip called thee, —when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 Lè sa a, Natanayèl di li: Mèt, ou se Pitit Bondye a. Ou se wa pèp Izrayèl la!
Nathanael answered him—Rabbi! thou, art, the Son of God: Thou, art, 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.
Jesus answered, and said unto him—Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? A greater thing than these, shalt thou see!
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 saith unto him—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye shall see heaven—when set open, and, the messengers of God, ascending and descending unto the Son of Man.
