Iohannem 1
1 In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Hoc erat in principio apud Deum.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 Omnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso factum est nihil, quod factum est.
All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
4 In ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hominum:
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 et lux in tenebris lucet, et tenebræ eam non comprehenderunt.
And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
6 Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Joannes.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Hic venit in testimonium ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine, ut omnes crederent per illum.
The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine.
He was not the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light.
9 Erat lux vera, quæ illuminat omnem hominem venientem in hunc mundum.
There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, coming into the world.
10 In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognovit.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 In propria venit, et sui eum non receperunt.
He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.
12 Quotquot autem receperunt eum, dedit eis potestatem filios Dei fieri, his qui credunt in nomine ejus:
But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
13 qui non ex sanguinibus, neque ex voluntate carnis, neque ex voluntate viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt.
which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Et Verbum caro factum est, et habitavit in nobis: et vidimus gloriam ejus, gloriam quasi unigeniti a Patre plenum gratiæ et veritatis.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
15 Joannes testimonium perhibet de ipso, et clamat dicens: Hic erat quem dixi: Qui post me venturus est, ante me factus est: quia prior me erat.
John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.
16 Et de plenitudine ejus nos omnes accepimus, et gratiam pro gratia:
For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.
17 quia lex per Moysen data est, gratia et veritas per Jesum Christum facta est.
For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 Deum nemo vidit umquam: unigenitus Filius, qui est in sinu Patris, ipse enarravit.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
19 Et hoc est testimonium Joannis, quando miserunt Judæi ab Jerosolymis sacerdotes et Levitas ad eum ut interrogarent eum: Tu quis es?
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?
20 Et confessus est, et non negavit, et confessus est: Quia non sum ego Christus.
And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 Et interrogaverunt eum: Quid ergo? Elias es tu? Et dixit: Non sum. Propheta es tu? Et respondit: Non.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Dixerunt ergo ei: Quis es ut responsum demus his qui miserunt nos? quid dicis de teipso?
They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 Ait: Ego vox clamantis in deserto: Dirigite viam Domini, sicut dixit Isaias propheta.
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 Et qui missi fuerant, erant ex pharisæis.
And they had been sent from the Pharisees.
25 Et interrogaverunt eum, et dixerunt ei: Quid ergo baptizas, si tu non es Christus, neque Elias, neque propheta?
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?
26 Respondit eis Joannes, dicens: Ego baptizo in aqua: medius autem vestrum stetit, quem vos nescitis.
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,
27 Ipse est qui post me venturus est, qui ante me factus est: cujus ego non sum dignus ut solvam ejus corrigiam calceamenti.
[even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.
28 Hæc in Bethania facta sunt trans Jordanem, ubi erat Joannes baptizans.
These things were done in Bethany beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Altera die vidit Joannes Jesum venientem ad se, et ait: Ecce agnus Dei, ecce qui tollit peccatum mundi.
On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world!
30 Hic est de quo dixi: Post me venit vir qui ante me factus est: quia prior me erat:
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is become before me: for he was before me.
31 et ego nesciebam eum, sed ut manifestetur in Israël, propterea veni ego in aqua baptizans.
And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing with water.
32 Et testimonium perhibuit Joannes, dicens: Quia vidi Spiritum descendentem quasi columbam de cælo, et mansit super eum.
And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.
33 Et ego nesciebam eum: sed qui misit me baptizare in aqua, ille mihi dixit: Super quem videris Spiritum descendentem, et manentem super eum, hic est qui baptizat in Spiritu Sancto.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.
34 Et ego vidi: et testimonium perhibui quia hic est Filius Dei.
And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.
35 Altera die iterum stabat Joannes, et ex discipulis ejus duo.
Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;
36 Et respiciens Jesum ambulantem, dicit: Ecce agnus Dei.
and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
37 Et audierunt eum duo discipuli loquentem, et secuti sunt Jesum.
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Conversus autem Jesus, et videns eos sequentes se, dicit eis: Quid quæritis? Qui dixerunt ei: Rabbi (quod dicitur interpretatum Magister), ubi habitas?
And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), where abidest thou?
39 Dicit eis: Venite et videte. Venerunt, et viderunt ubi maneret, et apud eum manserunt die illo: hora autem erat quasi decima.
He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour.
40 Erat autem Andreas, frater Simonis Petri, unus ex duobus qui audierant a Joanne, et secuti fuerant eum.
One of the two that heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 Invenit hic primum fratrem suum Simonem, et dicit ei: Invenimus Messiam (quod est interpretatum Christus).
He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
42 Et adduxit eum ad Jesum. Intuitus autem eum Jesus, dixit: Tu es Simon, filius Jona; tu vocaberis Cephas, quod interpretatur Petrus.
He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).
43 In crastinum voluit exire in Galilæam, et invenit Philippum. Et dicit ei Jesus: Sequere me.
On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.
44 Erat autem Philippus a Bethsaida, civitate Andreæ et Petri.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Invenit Philippus Nathanaël, et dicit ei: Quem scripsit Moyses in lege, et prophetæ, invenimus Jesum filium Joseph a Nazareth.
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 Et dixit ei Nathanaël: A Nazareth potest aliquid boni esse? Dicit ei Philippus: Veni et vide.
And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47 Vidit Jesus Nathanaël venientem ad se, et dicit de eo: Ecce vere Israëlita, in quo dolus non est.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 Dicit ei Nathanaël: Unde me nosti? Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Priusquam te Philippus vocavit, cum esses sub ficu, vidi te.
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Respondit ei Nathanaël, et ait: Rabbi, tu es Filius Dei, tu es rex Israël.
Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel.
50 Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Quia dixi tibi: Vidi te sub ficu, credis; majus his videbis.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 Et dicit ei: Amen, amen dico vobis, videbitis cælum apertum, et angelos Dei ascendentes, et descendentes supra Filium hominis.
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
