Jāņa Evaņg̒elijs 1
1 Iesākumā bija Vārds, un Vārds bija pie Dieva, un Dievs bija Vārds.
In the beginning the Word already was. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Tas bija iesākumā pie Dieva.
In the beginning he was with God.
3 Visas lietas ir darītas caur Viņu, un bez Viņa nekas nav darīts, kas ir darīts.
Everything came into being through him; nothing came into being without him.
4 Iekš Viņa bija dzīvība, un tā dzīvība bija cilvēku gaišums.
In him was life, the life that was the light of everyone.
5 Un tas gaišums spīd tumsībā, un tumsība to nesaņēma.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not extinguished it.
6 Viens cilvēks bija no Dieva sūtīts, Jānis vārdā.
God sent a man named John.
7 Tas nāca liecības dēļ, ka dotu liecību par To Gaišumu, lai visi caur to ticētu.
He came as a witness to explain about the light so that everyone might believe through him.
8 Viņš pats nebija tas gaišums, bet ka tas liecību dotu par To Gaišumu.
He himself was not the light, but he came to witness to the light.
9 Tam patiesam Gaišumam, kas ikvienu cilvēku apgaismo, bija nākt pasaulē.
The true light was coming into the world to give light to everyone.
10 Viņš bija pasaulē, un pasaule ir caur Viņu darīta; bet pasaule Viņu nepazina.
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world didn't know who he was.
11 Viņš nāca pie tiem savējiem, un šie Viņu neuzņēma.
He came to his own people, but they didn't accept him.
12 Bet cik Viņu uzņēma, tiem Viņš deva vaļu, palikt par Dieva bērniem, tiem, kas tic uz Viņa Vārdu,
But to all those who accepted him and trusted in him, he gave the right to become God's children.
13 Kas ne no asinīm, nedz no miesas gribēšanas, nedz pēc kāda vīra prāta, bet kas no Dieva dzimuši.
These are the children born not in the usual way, not as the result of human desire or a father's decision, but born of God.
14 Un tas Vārds tapa miesa un dzīvoja mūsu starpā, pilns žēlastības un patiesības, un mēs redzējām Viņa godību, tādu godību, kā Tā vienpiedzimušā Dēla no Tā Tēva.
The Word became human and lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son, full of grace and truth.
15 Jānis dod liecību par Viņu un sauc sacīdams: “Šis bija Tas, par ko es sacīju: kas nāk pēc manis, Tas ir bijis priekš manis. Viņš bija pirmāk nekā es.”
John gave his testimony about him, shouting out to the people, “This is the one I was telling you about when I said, ‘The one who is coming after me is more important than me, for before I ever existed he already was.’”
16 Un no Viņa pilnuma mēs visi esam dabūjuši žēlastību uz žēlastību.
We have all been recipients of his generous nature, one gracious gift after another.
17 Jo bauslība ir dota caur Mozu, žēlastība un patiesība ir notikusi caur Jēzu Kristu.
The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Dievu neviens nekad nav redzējis: tas vienpiedzimušais Dēls, Tēva klēpī būdams, Tas mums to ir stāstījis.
While no one has ever seen God, God the one and only, who is close to the Father, has shown us what God is like.
19 Un šī ir Jāņa liecība, kad tie Jūdi no Jeruzālemes priesterus un levitus sūtīja, lai tam jautā: “Kas tu esi?”
This is what John publicly stated when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Un viņš apliecināja un neliedzās, un apliecināja: “Es neesmu Kristus.”
John declared plainly and clearly without hesitation, “I am not the Messiah.”
21 Un tie tam jautāja: “Kas tad? Vai tu esi Elija?” Un viņš saka: “Neesmu.” “Vai tu esi tas Pravietis?” Un viņš atbildēja: “Nē”.
“So then, who are you?” they asked. “Elijah?” “No, I'm not,” he answered. “Are you the Prophet?” “No,” he replied.
22 Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: “Kas tu esi? lai atbildam tiem, kas mūs sūtījuši; ko tu saki par sevi pašu?”
“Well, who are you, then?” they asked. “We have to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 Viņš sacīja: “Es esmu saucēja balss tuksnesī: sataisiet Tā Kunga ceļu, kā pravietis Jesaja sacījis.”
“I am a voice calling in the desert, ‘Make the Lord's way straight!’” he said, using the words of the prophet Isaiah.
24 Un tie izsūtītie bija no tiem farizejiem.
The priests and Levites sent by the Pharisees
25 Un tie viņam jautāja un uz viņu sacīja: “Kāpēc tad tu kristi, kad tu neesi Tas Kristus, nedz Elija, nedz tas Pravietis?”
asked him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you're not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?”
26 Jānis tiem atbildēja un sacīja: “Es kristīju ar ūdeni; bet Tas jūsu vidū iestājies, ko jūs nepazīstat;
John replied, “I baptize with water, but standing among you is someone you don't know.
27 Tas nāk pēc manis, un ir bijis priekš manis, Tam es neesmu cienīgs kurpju siksnas atraisīt.”
He is coming after me, but I am not even worthy to untie his sandals.”
28 Tas notika Betanijā viņpus Jardānes upes, kur Jānis kristīja.
This all happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Otrā dienā Jānis Jēzu ierauga nākam un saka: “Redzi, Tas Dieva Jērs, kas nes pasaules grēkus.
The next day John saw Jesus approaching him, and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 Šis ir Tas, par ko es esmu sacījis: pēc manis nāk vīrs, kas bijis priekš manis: jo Viņš bija pirmāk nekā es.
This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘A man who is coming after me is more important than me, for before I ever existed he already was.’
31 Un es Viņu nepazinu: bet lai Viņš Israēlim taptu zināms, tāpēc es esmu nācis, kristīdams ar ūdeni.”
I didn't know myself who he was, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel.”
32 Un Jānis deva liecību sacīdams: “Es redzēju to Garu nolaižamies no debess kā balodi un paliekam uz Viņa.
John gave his evidence about him, saying, “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove and rest upon him.
33 Un es Viņu nepazinu, bet kas mani sūtījis kristīt ar ūdeni, Tas uz mani sacīja: uz ko tu redzēsi to Garu nolaižamies un paliekam, šis ir Tas, kas kristī ar Svēto Garu.
I wouldn't have known him except he who sent me to baptize with water had told me, ‘The one you see the Spirit descend to and rest upon, he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 Un es esmu redzējis un liecību devis, ka šis ir Tas Dieva Dēls.”
I saw it happen and I declare that this is the Son of God.”
35 Otrā dienā Jānis atkal stāvēja un divi no viņa mācekļiem,
The next day John was standing there with two of his disciples.
36 Un ieraudzījis Jēzu staigājam, viņš saka: “Redzi, Tas Dieva Jērs!”
He saw Jesus passing by, and said, “Look! This is the Lamb of God!”
37 Un tie divi mācekļi viņu dzirdēja runājam un Jēzum gāja pakaļ.
When the two disciples heard what he said they went and followed Jesus.
38 Un Jēzus atgriezdamies un tos redzējis pakaļ nākam, uz tiem saka: “Ko jūs meklējat?” Un tie uz Viņu sacīja: “Rabbi, (tas ir tulkots: mācītājs, ) kur Tu mājo?”
Jesus turned round and saw them following him. “What are you looking for?” he asked them. “Rabbi (which means ‘Teacher’), where are you staying?” they asked in reply.
39 Viņš uz tiem saka: “Nāciet un redziet.” Tie nāca un redzēja, kur Viņš mājoja, un palika to dienu pie Viņa, un tas bija ap desmito stundu.
“Come and see,” he told them. So they went with him and saw where he was staying. It was about four p.m., and they spent the rest of the day with him.
40 Andrejs, Sīmaņa Pētera brālis, bija viens no tiem diviem, kas to no Jāņa bija dzirdējuši un Viņam gājuši pakaļ.
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of these two disciples who had heard what John said and followed Jesus.
41 Šis pirmais atrod savu brāli Sīmani un uz to saka: “Mēs to Mesiju esam atraduši (tas ir tulkots: Kristus).”
He went at once to find his brother Simon and told him, “We've found the Messiah!” (which means “Christ”).
42 Un viņš to veda pie Jēzus. Un Jēzus to uzlūkoja un sacīja: “Tu esi Sīmanis, Jonas dēls, tu tapsi saukts Kefas, tas ir tulkots: Pēteris (akmens).”
He took him to Jesus. Looking directly at Simon, Jesus said, “You are Simon, son of John. But now you will be called Cephas,” (which means “Peter”).
43 Otrā dienā Jēzus gribēja iziet uz Galileju un atrod Filipu un uz to saka: “Nāc Man pakaļ.”
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. Jesus found Philip there, and told him, “Follow me.”
44 Un Filips bija no Betsaidas, Andreja un Pētera pilsētas.
Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town that Andrew and Peter came from.
45 Filips atrod Natanaēli un uz to saka: “Par ko Mozus bauslībā rakstījis un tie pravieši, To mēs esam atraduši, Jēzu no Nacaretes, Jāzepa dēlu.”
Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We've found the one that Moses wrote about in the law and that the prophets did too—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46 Un Natanaēls uz to sacīja: “Vai no Nacaretes var būt kāds labums?” Filips uz to saka: “Nāc un redzi!”
“From Nazareth? Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael wondered. “Just come and see,” Philip replied.
47 Jēzus redzēja Natanaēli nākam, un par to saka: “Redzi, patiesi viens Israēlietis, iekš kā viltības nav.”
As Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said about him, “Look, here's a true Israelite! There's nothing false about him.”
48 Natanaēls uz Viņu saka: “Kā Tu mani pazīsti?” Jēzus atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Es tevi redzēju, pirms Filips tevi aicināja, kad tu biji apakš tā vīģes koka.”
“How do you know who I am?” Nathanael asked. “I saw you there under the fig tree, before Philip called you,” Jesus replied.
49 Natanaēls atbildēja un uz Viņu saka: “Rabbi, Tu esi Dieva Dēls, Tu esi Israēla Ķēniņš.”
“Rabbi, you are the Son of God, the king of Israel!” Nathaniel exclaimed.
50 Jēzus atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Tādēļ tu tici, ka Es tev esmu sacījis: Es tevi redzēju apakš tā vīģes koka. Tu redzēsi lielākas lietas nekā tās.”
“You believe this just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree?” Jesus replied. “You'll get to see much more than that!”
51 Un Viņš uz to saka: “Patiesi, patiesi, Es jums saku: no šī laika jūs redzēsiet debesis atvērtas un Dieva eņģeļus uzkāpjam un nokāpjam uz To Cilvēka Dēlu.”
Then Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open, and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of man.”
