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.
The same 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 were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
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 shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 Teo t’indaty nirahen’ Añahare, Jaona ty tahina’e.
There was a man sent from God, whose name [was] John.
7 Pok’ eo re ho valolombeloñe hitalily i Hazavàñey, soa te hatokisa ze kila ondaty.
The same came for a witness, to bear testimony of the Light, that all [men] through him might believe.
8 Tsy t’ie i Hazavàñey, f’ie ro hitaroñe i Hazavàñey.
He was not that Light, but [was sent] to bear testimony of that Light.
9 Ie ty Hazavañe to mañazava ze hene ondaty mizilike an-tane atoy.
[That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh 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 by him, and the world knew him not.
11 Nivotrak’ amo Azeo re, fe tsy nirambesa’ o Azeo.
He came to his own, and his own received him not.
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 power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
13 ie tsy nareñen-dio, tsy nisatrie’ ty nofotse, tsy nisafirie’ ondaty, fa i Andrianañahare.
Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the 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 was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the 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 testified concerning him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me, is preferred before me; for he was before me.
16 Songa nandrambe amy halifora’ey tika: hasoa atovon-kasoa.
And of his fullness have we all received, 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 by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 Tsy eo ty nahatrea an’Andrianañahare ndra mbia’ mbia; i bako tokañe añ’ arañan-dRae’ey, Ie ty mitaroñe.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [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 from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
20 Niantoke re, tsy nitety, fa ninà’e ty hoe: Tsy izaho i Norizañey.
And he confessed, and denied not; but 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 asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? and he saith, I am not. Art thou that 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 said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 Hoe re: Izaho ty fiarañanaña’ i mikoik’ am-patrambey añey, Vantaño ty lala’ i Talè, amy nisaontsie’ Isaia mpitokiy.
He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
24 Toe irake boak’ amo Fariseoo iereo,
And they who were 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 asked him, and said to him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou art not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that 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 baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
27 i manonjohy ahy nanoeñe aolokoy; tsy sazo ahy ty hañaha i talin-kana’ey.
He it is, who coming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoes' latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28 Nanoeñe e Betania alafe’ Iordaney zay amy fampilipora’ i Jaonay.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Tamy loakandroy, nioni’e te nitotofa’ Iesoà, le hoe re: Heheke o Vik’ añondrin’ Añahare mpañaha hakeo’ ty voatse toio.
The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh 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 of whom I said, after me cometh a man who is preferred before me; for he was before me.
31 Tsy napotako re: fe ty hampiboahañe aze am’ Israele ty nivotrahako atoy hampilipotse an-drano.
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32 Le hoe ty nitaroñe’ i Jaona: Nahatrea i Arofoy iraho, nizotso hoe deho boak’an-dindìñe ey nipetake ama’e.
And John bore testimony, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon 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 knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.
34 Le nahatrea iraho vaho mitaroñe te Ie i Anak’ Andrianañaharey.
And I saw and bore testimony, that this is the Son of God.
35 Nijohañ’eo mindre ami’ty mpiama’e roe t’i Jaona te loak’ andro.
Again the next day after, John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 Aa ie nahaisake Iesoà nañavelo, le hoe re: Heheke o Vik’ añondrin’ Añahareo!
And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 Jinanji’ i mpiama’e roe rey i saontsi’ey le nañorike Iesoà.
And the two disciples heard him speak, 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?
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith to them, What seek ye? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master) where dwellest thou?
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 saith to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
40 Ty raik’ amy roe nahajanjiñe i Jaona naho nanonjohy aze rey le i Andrea, rahalahi’ i Simona Petera;
One of the two who heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 Tendrek’ aze hey t’i Simona rahalahi’e le nanoa’e ty hoe: Nioni’ay t’i Mesia, toe: i Norizañey.
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
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 when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas; which is, by interpretation, a stone.
43 Ie amy loak’ androy te homb’ e Galilia ao t’Iesoà, le nitendreke i Filipo vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Oriho iraho.
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith to him, follow me.
44 Nte-Betsaida t’i Filipo, ty rova’ i Andrea naho i Petera.
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, 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 findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
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, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith 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 saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, 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 saith to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 Aa le tinoi’ i Natanaela ty hoe: O Raby, Anan’ Añahare irehe; Ihe ro Mpanjaka’ Israele.
Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art 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 thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt 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 saith to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
