John 1
1 Shuru te Kotha asele, aru Kotha to Isor logote thakise, aru Kotha he Isor ase.
In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.
2 Etu shuru pora Isor logote he thakise.
He was in the beginning with God.
3 Sob jinis Tai pora he bonaise, aru ki bonaise Tai nathaki kene eku bhi bona nai.
All things were made by him, and without him not one thing was made that now exists.
4 Tai logote jibon asele, aru jibon to manu khan laga pohor asele.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 Aru pohor to andhera te ujala korise, aru andhera to pohor ke jitibo para nai.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehends it not.
6 Isor pora pathai diya ekjon manu asele, jun laga naam John thakise.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Tai gawahi hoi ahise, pohor laga kotha jonai dibole, aru sob Tai dwara biswas kori bole.
This man came as a witness, to testify of the Light, that all through him might believe.
8 John nijor to pohor nohoi, kintu tai pohor laga gawahi dibole ahise.
He was not the Light; but he came to testify of the Light.
9 Sob manu ke pohor dibole asol pohor duniya te ahi thakise.
He was the true Light, which, coming into the world, gives light to every man.
10 Tai duniya te thakisele, aru Tai he duniya bonaise, kintu duniya pora Taike janibo para nai.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 Tai nijor manu khan majote ahise, kintu Tai nijor manu khan pora Taike luwa nai.
He came to his own country, and his own people received him not.
12 Kintu jiman jon pora Taike grohon korise, Tai he taikhan ke Isor laga bacha hobole adhikar dise, jun Tai naam pora biswas kori loise.
But as many as received him, to them he gave the privilege of becoming the children of God, even to those who believe on his name;
13 Taikhan jonom to khun pora bhi nohoi, mangso pora bhi nohoi, aru mangso itcha pora bhi nohoi, kintu Isor laga itcha pora ase.
who were begotten, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Aru Kotha to gaw mangso hoi kene amikhan majote thakise. Amikhan Tai laga mohima dikhise, eneka mohima juntu Baba pora tai laga ekjon morom thaka Putro ke dise, aru etu anugraha aru hosa pora bhorta ase.
And the WORD became flesh, and tabernacled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and of truth.
15 John pora Tai laga gawahi dikene eneka koise, “Etu he ekjon ase Jun nimite moi koise, ‘Jun moi laga piche ahi ase, Tai to moi pora bhi bisi dangor ase, kelemane moi laga age pora Tai thakise.’”
John testified of him, and cried, saying: This is he of whom I said: He that comes after me, is now before me, for he existed before me.
16 Aru Tai bhorta hoi thaka pora amikhan anugraha uporte anugraha paise.
And from his fullness have we all received, even grace for grace;
17 Kelemane niyom to Moses dwara anidise. Kintu anugraha aru hosa to Jisu Khrista pora he anise.
for the law was given through Moses, but the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Isor ke kun bhi kitia bhi dikha nai. Ekjon Isor, jun Baba laga usorte bohi ase, etu ke he Tai dikhai dise.
No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has revealed him.
19 John laga gawahi etu ase, Yehudi khan Jerusalem sheher pora Levi dol laga purohit khan ke pathaise taike hudibole, “Apuni kun ase?”
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him: Who are you?
20 Tai shikar kori kene koise- “Moi Khrista nohoi.”
And he confessed, and did not deny; and he confessed: I am not the Christ.
21 Aru taikhan hudise, “Nohoile apuni kun ase? Apuni Elijah ase?” Tai koise, “Moi nohoi.” Taikhan koise, “Apuni bhabobadi ase?” Aru tai jawab dise, “Nohoi.”
And they asked him: What then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No.
22 Arubi taikhan taike hudise, “Apuni kun ase? Kilekoile amikhan ke pathai diya khan ke jowab dibo lage. Apuni nijorke kun ase koi?”
They then said to him: Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what say you of yourself?
23 Tai koise, “Ami ekta awaj ase, juntu jongol te hala kori koi ase: ‘Probhu laga rasta sidha koribi,’ Jineka bhabobadi Isaiah pora likhise.”
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 Aru ta te Pharisee khan pora kunba manu khan ke pathaise.
And those who were sent were of the Pharisees;
25 Aru taikhan taike hudise, “Jodi apuni Khrista nohoi, Elijah bhi nohoi, aru bhabobadi bhi nohoi, to kele apuni baptizma di ase?”
and they asked him, and said to him: Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
26 John taikhan ke jawab dise aru koise, “Moi pani pora baptizma di thaka he ase. Kintu tumikhan majote ekjon khara ase, Junke tumikhan najane.
John answered them, saying: I immerse in water; but there stands one among you whom you know not.
27 Jun moi pichete ahi ase moi Tai laga juta laga rusi bhi khuli bole layak manu nohoi.”
He it is, who, though he comes after me, is now before me; the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
28 Etu sob to Jordan nodi laga dusra phale thaka Bethany te hoise, kun to jagate John baptizma di thakise.
These things were done in Bethany, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
29 Dusra dinte Jisu tai logote ahi thaka dikhikena John koise, “Sabi, Isor laga Mer bacha, kun pora etu duniya laga paap uthai loi jabole ase!
The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world.
30 Etu he ase, Kun laga kotha moi age pora koi dise, ‘Ekjon ami laga piche ahi ase, Jun he moi pora bhi dangor ase, kelemane moi pora poila Tai thakisele.’
This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is now before me, for he existed before me.
31 Moi bhi Taike najane. Kintu Israel manu khan logot Taike prokahit kori dibo karone moi pani pora baptizma di ahise.”
And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I have come immersing in water.
32 Aru John etu gawahi dikene koise, “Atma he paro nisena sorgo pora ahikena Tai uporte bohi juwa moi dikhise.
And John testified, saying: I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.
33 Moi Taike najane kintu Jun he moike pani pora baptizma dibole pathaise, Tai he moike koise, ‘Jun uporte Atma ahi thaki juwa tumi dikhibo, Tai he Pobitro Atma pora baptizma dibo thaka to ase.’
And I knew him not; but he that sent me to immerse in water, said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is he that immerses in the Holy Spirit.
34 Aru moi etu dikhi kene gawahi di ase, etu he Isor laga Putro ase.”
And I saw, and do testify that this is the Son of God.
35 Dusra dinte John pora tai laga duijon chela ke loi kene khara thakise.
Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples.
36 Titia Jisu berai kene aha dikhi kene tai koise, “Sabi, Isor laga Mer bacha!”
And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said: Behold the Lamb of God.
37 Titia duijon chela etu huni kene Jisu laga piche korise.
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Titia Jisu ghuri saise aru tai duijon ke dikhi kene hudise, “Tumikhan ke ki lage?” Taikhan koise, “Rabbi, Apuni kot te thaki ase? - Etu motlob to Shika manu- Apuni kot te thake?”
And Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them:
39 Tai koise, “Ahi kene sabi.” Taikhan jai kene Tai kot te thaki ase etu dikhise, aru etu din Tai logote thaki jaise, aru etu somoi to dos ghanta nisena asele.
What do you seek? They said to him: Rabbi, (which, when translated, is called Teacher, ) where abidest thou?
40 Duijon majote kun John laga kotha huni kene Jisu logote jaise, etu ekjon to Simon Peter laga bhai Andrew thakise.
He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.
41 Tai Simon ke bisari kene koise, “Amikhan Messiah ke pai loise,” motlob ase Khrista.
One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
42 Aru taike loi kene Jisu logot anise, aru Jisu taike saikene koise, “O Jonah laga Putro Simon, tumike Kefa matibo” - dusra naam ase Peter.
He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah; (which, when translated, is the Christ; )
43 Dusra din Jisu to Galilee jagate jabole mon thakise, titia Tai Philip ke lok paise aru taike koise, “Ami laga piche koribi.”
and he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said: You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Rock).
44 Philip to Bethsaida nogor laga manu asele, juntu sheher to Andrew aru Peter laga sheher asele.
The day following, Jesus wished to go into Galilee; and he found Philip, and said to him: Follow me.
45 Jitia Philip pora Nathaniel ke paise, tai koise, “Moses laga kitab te aru bhabobadi khan he jun laga kotha likhi rakhise, etu amikhan pai loise: etu Joseph laga chokra Nazareth Jisu he ase.”
Now, Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
46 Kintu Nathaniel taike koise, “Bhal bostu Nazareth pora ulabo naki?” Philip pora taike koise, “Ahibi aru sabi.”
Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
47 Titia Jisu pora Nathaniel Tai phale aha dikhi kene koise, “Sabi, etu hosa te Israel manu ase, tai thogai diya manu nohoi!”
And Nathaniel said to him: Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see.
48 Nathaniel Taike koise, “Apuni moike kineka jane?” Jisu taike jowab di koise, “Philip pora tumike mata age te tumi dimoru ghas niche bohi thaka Moi dikhise.”
Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said of him: Be hold, an Israelite in truth, in whom there is no guile.
49 Nathaniel Taike jowab dise, “Rabbi, Apuni Isor laga Chora ase! Apuni Israel laga Raja ase!”
Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you.
50 Jisu jowab te taike koise, “kelemane Moi tumike koise, ‘Moi Tumike dimoru ghas nichete bohi thaka dikhise’ kowa karone tumi biswas korise? Tumi etu pora bhi bisi dangor kaam dikhibo.”
Nathaniel answered and said to him: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
51 Aru Jisu taike koise, “Hosa pora Moi tumikhan ke kobo, tumikhan sorgo khuli diya, aru Isor laga duth khan pora Manu laga Putro uporte aha juwa kora dikhibo.”
Jesus answered and said to him: Do you believe, because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree? You shall see greater things than these. And he said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, From this time you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
