Jaona 1
1 Tam-pifotorañe añe t’i Tsara, le nindre aman’ Añahare i Tsaray vaho Andrianañahare i Tsaray.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
2 Ie taman’ Andrianañahare amy fifotorañey.
this One was in the beginning with God;
3 Ie ty nañamboarañe ze he’e; aa naho tsy ie, ndra loli’e tsy ho teo ze eo.
all things happened through Him, and without Him not even one thing happened that has happened.
4 Tama’e o haveloñeo; le nañazavàñe ondatio i haveloñey;
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men,
5 mireandreañe añ’ieñe ao i Hazavàñey, le tsy nahatindry aze i ieñey.
and the light shined in the darkness, and the darkness did not perceive it.
6 Teo t’indaty nirahen’ Añahare, Jaona ty tahina’e.
There came a man—having been sent from God—whose name [is] John,
7 Pok’ eo re ho valolombeloñe hitalily i Hazavàñey, soa te hatokisa ze kila ondaty.
this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
8 Tsy t’ie i Hazavàñey, f’ie ro hitaroñe i Hazavàñey.
that one was not the Light, but—that he might testify about the Light.
9 Ie ty Hazavañe to mañazava ze hene ondaty mizilike an-tane atoy.
He was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming into the world;
10 Tami’ ty voatse toy atoy re naho ie ty nañamboarañe ty voatse toy, fe tsy nahafohiñ’ aze ty voatse toy.
He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him:
11 Nivotrak’ amo Azeo re, fe tsy nirambesa’ o Azeo.
He came to [His] own, and [His] own did not receive Him;
12 Fe hene nimea’e lily ho anan’ Añahare ze nandrambe aze, ze miato amy tahina’ey,
but as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in His Name,
13 ie tsy nareñen-dio, tsy nisatrie’ ty nofotse, tsy nisafirie’ ondaty, fa i Andrianañahare.
who were begotten, not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.
14 Ninjare nofotse i Tsaray, ie namoroñe ty sokemitraha’e aman-tika atoy. Nioni’ay ty enge’e, i volonahetse mañeva ty maha bako-tokañe nampiarenen-dRae azey, ie fonitse hasoa naho hatò.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of [the] only begotten of [the] Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Nitalily aze t’i Jaona ie nikoi-dava ty hoe: Ie i nanoeko ty hoe, I manonjohy ahiy ro ambone ahy amy t’ie taoloko.
John testifies concerning Him, and has cried, saying, “This was He of whom I said, He who is coming after me has come before me, for He was before me.”
16 Songa nandrambe amy halifora’ey tika: hasoa atovon-kasoa.
And we all received out of His fullness, and grace for grace;
17 Toe i Mosè ty nanolorañe Hake, le Iesoà Norizañey ty nitotsaha’ ty falalañe naho ty hatò.
for the Law was given through Moses, the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Tsy eo ty nahatrea an’Andrianañahare ndra mbia’ mbia; i bako tokañe añ’ arañan-dRae’ey, Ie ty mitaroñe.
No one has ever seen God; the only begotten God who is on the bosom of the Father—He has expounded [Him].
19 Zao ty enta’ i Jaona te nirahe’ o Tehodao ty mpisoroñe naho nte-Levy hirik’e Ierosaleme añe nañontane aze, ty hoe: Ia v’iheo?
And this is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites out of Jerusalem, that they might question him, “Who are you?”
20 Niantoke re, tsy nitety, fa ninà’e ty hoe: Tsy izaho i Norizañey.
And he confessed and did not deny, and confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
21 Aa hoe ty ontane’ iareo: Ia arè? i Elia v’iheo? le hoe re: Tsy ie iraho, I mpitokiy hao? le hoe re: Aiy!
And they questioned him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
22 Le hoe ty nanoa’ iareo: Ia v’iheo, hahatoiña’ay o nañirak’ anaio? Akore ty anoñona’o ty vata’o?
Then they said to him, “Who are you, that we may give an answer to those sending us? What do you say concerning yourself?”
23 Hoe re: Izaho ty fiarañanaña’ i mikoik’ am-patrambey añey, Vantaño ty lala’ i Talè, amy nisaontsie’ Isaia mpitokiy.
He said, “I [am] a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the LORD, as Isaiah the prophet said.”
24 Toe irake boak’ amo Fariseoo iereo,
And those sent were of the Pharisees,
25 ie nañontane ty hoe: Akore t’ie mampilipotse, ihe tsy i Norizañey, tsy i Elia, tsy i Mpitokiy?
and they questioned him and said to him, “Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
26 Tinoi’ i Jaona ty hoe: Mampilipotse an-drano iraho, fe mijohañe añivo’ areo ao ty tsy fohi’ areo;
John answered them, saying, “I immerse in water, but in the midst of you has stood He whom you have not known, it is this One who is coming after me, who has been before me,
27 i manonjohy ahy nanoeñe aolokoy; tsy sazo ahy ty hañaha i talin-kana’ey.
of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the strap of His sandal.”
28 Nanoeñe e Betania alafe’ Iordaney zay amy fampilipora’ i Jaonay.
These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
29 Tamy loakandroy, nioni’e te nitotofa’ Iesoà, le hoe re: Heheke o Vik’ añondrin’ Añahare mpañaha hakeo’ ty voatse toio.
On the next day John sees Jesus coming to him and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;
30 Ie i nitaroñekoy ty hoe: Manonjohy ahy t’indaty ambone te amako amy t’ie taoloko.
this is He concerning whom I said, After me comes a Man who has come before me, because He was before me:
31 Tsy napotako re: fe ty hampiboahañe aze am’ Israele ty nivotrahako atoy hampilipotse an-drano.
and I did not know Him, but that He might be revealed to Israel, because of this I came immersing in water.”
32 Le hoe ty nitaroñe’ i Jaona: Nahatrea i Arofoy iraho, nizotso hoe deho boak’an-dindìñe ey nipetake ama’e.
And John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit coming down out of Heaven as a dove, and [that] One remained on Him;
33 Ninofiko re, fe nanao ty hoe amako i nañitrik’ ahy hampilipotse an-dranoy: Ty isa’o izotsoa’ i Arofoy vaho mipetak’ ama’e, ie ty mandipotse amy Arofo Masiñey.
and I did not know Him, but He who sent me to immerse in water, He said to me, On whomsoever you may see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on Him, this is He who is immersing in the Holy Spirit;
34 Le nahatrea iraho vaho mitaroñe te Ie i Anak’ Andrianañaharey.
and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.”
35 Nijohañ’eo mindre ami’ty mpiama’e roe t’i Jaona te loak’ andro.
On the next day, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,
36 Aa ie nahaisake Iesoà nañavelo, le hoe re: Heheke o Vik’ añondrin’ Añahareo!
and having looked on Jesus walking, he says, “Behold, the Lamb of God”;
37 Jinanji’ i mpiama’e roe rey i saontsi’ey le nañorike Iesoà.
and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
38 Nitolike t’Iesoà, nahavazoho t’ie nañorike vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ino ty ipaia’ areo? Le hoe iereo tama’e: O Raby, toe: Talè, aia ty imoneña’o?
And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, says to them, “What do you seek?” And they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is, being interpreted, Teacher), “where do You remain?”
39 Le nanoa’e ty hoe: Antao, hañisake: Aa le nimb’eo iereo nahaisake i nimoneña’ey le nitambatse ama’e ao amy àndroy, ie va’e tami’ty ora faha-folo.
He says to them, “Come and see”; they came and saw where He remains, and they remained with Him that day and the hour was about the tenth.
40 Ty raik’ amy roe nahajanjiñe i Jaona naho nanonjohy aze rey le i Andrea, rahalahi’ i Simona Petera;
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed Him;
41 Tendrek’ aze hey t’i Simona rahalahi’e le nanoa’e ty hoe: Nioni’ay t’i Mesia, toe: i Norizañey.
this one first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is, being interpreted, Anointed One),
42 Nindese’e mb’amy Iesoà mb’eo, le ie nivazoho Iesoà le nanoe’e ty hoe: Ihe ro Simona ana’ i Jaona. Hatao Kefasy irehe, toe: vato).
and he brought him to Jesus: and having looked on him, Jesus says, “You are Simon, the son of Jonas, you will be called Cephas,” (which is interpreted, A rock).
43 Ie amy loak’ androy te homb’ e Galilia ao t’Iesoà, le nitendreke i Filipo vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Oriho iraho.
On the next day He willed to go forth to Galilee, and He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow Me.”
44 Nte-Betsaida t’i Filipo, ty rova’ i Andrea naho i Petera.
And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;
45 Nirendre’ i Filipo t’i Natanaela vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Fa nifanjo amy sinoki’ i Mosè amy Hake naho amo Mpitokioy zahay, Iesoà nte-Nazareta, ana’ Iosefe!
Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the Prophets, we have found, Jesus the Son of Joseph, who [is] from Nazareth!”
46 Hoe t’i Natanaela tama’e: Mete iboahan-draha soa hao ty Nazareta? Antao hisary, hoe t’i Filipo ama’e.
And Nathanael said to him, “Is any good thing able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 Ie nivazoho’ Iesoà t’i Natanaela nitotok’ aze, le hoe re ty ama’e: Heheke, ty toe ana’ Israele, ty tsy am-pamañahiañe!
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and He says concerning him, “Behold, truly an Israelite, in whom is no guile”;
48 Le hoe ty nanoa’ i Natanaela: Aia ty naharofoana’o ahy? Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Ihe mbe tsy kinai’ i Filipo le nitreako ambane’ i sakoañey.
Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip’s calling you, being under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Aa le tinoi’ i Natanaela ty hoe: O Raby, Anan’ Añahare irehe; Ihe ro Mpanjaka’ Israele.
Nathanael answered and says to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God, You are the King of Israel.”
50 Le ty hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà aze: Amy te nanoako t’ie nahatrea azo ambane’ i sakoañey hao ro nampiantok’ azo? Mbe ho oni’o ty lombolombo’e.
Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, you believe; you will see greater things than these”;
51 Le tinovo’e ty hoe: Eka! to t’itaroñako te mbe ho oni’ areo ty fisokafa’ i likerañey naho ty fionjonañe naho ty fizotsoa’ o anjelin’ Añahareo amy Ana’ ondatiy.
and He says to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, from now on you will see Heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down on the Son of Man.”
