यूहन्ना 1
1 सुरुमा वचन हुनुहुन्थ्यो । वचन परमेश्वरसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो । अनि वचन नै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 उहाँ सुरुदेखि नै परमेश्वरसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
He Himself existed in the beginning with God.
3 सबै थोकहरू उहाँद्वारा बनिए, र बनिएको कुनै पनि थोक उहाँविना बनिएन ।
All things came to be by Him; that is, apart from Him not even one thing that has come into being came to be.
4 उहाँमा जीवन थियो, अनि त्यो जीवन सबै मानिसहरूका लागि ज्योति थियो ।
In Him was life, and the Life was the Light of mankind.
5 ज्योति अन्धकारमा चम्किन्छ, अनि अन्धकारले यसलाई जितेन ।
Now the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 परमेश्वरबाट पठाइएका एक जना मानिस थिए, जसको नाउँ यूहन्ना थियो ।
There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 उहाँद्वारा सबैले विश्वास गरून् भनेर उहाँ ज्योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन साक्षीको रूपमा आउनुभयो ।
This man came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
8 यूहन्ना ज्योति थिएनन्, तर ज्योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन भनेर उनी आए ।
He himself was not the Light but was to testify about the Light—
9 उहाँ सबै मानिसहरूलाई ज्योति दिनुहुने र संसारमा आउनुहुने सत्य ज्योति हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
the true Light which illumines everyone who comes into the world.
10 उहाँ संसारमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो र संसार उहाँद्वारा नै बनियो, तर संसारले उहाँलाई चिनेन ।
He was in the world, the world that came into being by Him, yet the world did not know Him.
11 उहाँ आफ्नैहरूकहाँ आउनुभयो, तर उहाँलाई आफ्नैहरूले स्वीकार गरेनन् ।
He came to His own things, yet His own people did not receive Him.
12 तर जतिले उहाँलाई स्वीकार गरे अर्थात् उहाँको नाउँमा विश्वास गरे उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई परमेश्वरका सन्तानहरू हुने अधिकार दिनुभयो ।
But, as many as did receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe into His name:
13 यिनीहरू न रगतले, न शारीरिक इच्छाअनुसार, न मानिसको इच्छाअनुसार नै जन्मेका थिए, तर परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेका थिए ।
who were begotten, not by blood, nor by the desire of the flesh, nor by the will of a man, but by God.
14 अनि वचन देहधारी हुनुभयो र हाम्रा बिचमा बास गर्नुभयो । हामीले पिताबाट आउनुभएका एक मात्रको जस्तो अर्थात् अनुग्रह र सत्यताले पूर्ण महिमा देख्यौँ ।
So the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we observed His glory, glory of an Only-begotten, from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 यूहन्नाले उहाँको बारेमा गवाही दिए, र ठुलो सोरले यसो भने, “मपछि आउनुहुने मभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँ मभन्दा अगिदेखि नै हुनुहुन्छ भनी मैले भनेको व्यक्ति उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
John testified about Him and called out saying: “This is He of whom I said, ‘The One coming after me is now ahead of me, because He existed before I did.’”
16 किनकि उहाँको पूर्णताबाट हामी सबैले अनुग्रहमाथि अनुग्रह पाएका छौँ ।
Now we have all received from His fullness, yes, grace upon grace.
17 किनकि व्यवस्था मोशाद्वारा दिइयो । अनुग्रह र सत्यता येशू ख्रीष्टद्वारा आयो ।
Because the Law was given through Moses; the Grace and the Truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 कसैले पनि परमेश्वरलाई कहिल्यै देखेको छैन । पिताको छातीमा अडेस लाग्नुहुने एक मात्र परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई चिनाउनुभएको छ ।
No one has ever seen God. The Only-begotten Son, who exists in the bosom of the Father, He has interpreted Him.
19 यहूदीहरूले यरूशलेमबाट पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई “तिमी को हौ?” भनी सोध्न पठाउँदा यूहन्नाको गवाही यही हो ।
Now this is John's testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 उनले खुला भएर भने, र इन्कार गरेनन्, तर जवाफ दिए, “म ख्रीष्ट होइनँ ।”
He confessed, he did not deny but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
21 त्यसकारण, तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “त्यसो भए तिमी को हौ त? के तिमी एलिया हौ?” उनले भने, “होइनँ ।” तिनीहरूले भने, “के तिमी अगमवक्ता हौ?” उनले जवाफ दिए, “होइनँ ।”
So they asked him, “What then, are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you ‘the Prophet’?” “No,” he answered.
22 तब तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “तिमी को हौ, ताकि हामीलाई पठाउनेहरूलाई हामीले जवाफ दिन सकौँ? तिमी आफ्नै बारेमा के भन्छौ?”
So they said to him: “Who are you?—so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 उनले भने, “म मरुभूमिमा कराइरहेको एउटा आवाज हुँ । ‘परमप्रभुको निम्ति बाटो सोझो बनाओ’ जस्तो यशैया अगमवक्ताले भने ।”
He said, “I am ‘the voice of one calling out: “Make the Lord's road straight in the wilderness,”’ just as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 ती पठाइएकाहरू फरिसीहरूबाटका थिए ।
Now those who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
25 तिनीहरूले उनलाई सोधे र भने, “तिमी न ख्रीष्ट, न एलिया, न अगमवक्ता नै हौ भने किन बप्तिस्मा दिन्छौ?”
So they asked him saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor ‘the Prophet’?”
26 अनि यूहन्नाले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर जवाफ दिए, “म पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिन्छु । तर तिमीहरूका माझमा तिमीहरूले नचिनेको कोही खडा हुनुहुन्छ,
John answered them saying: “I baptize with water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.
27 उहाँ जो मपछि आउनुहुन्छ, म उहाँको जुत्ताको फित्ता खोल्न लायकको छैनँ ।”
He is the One coming after me who is now ahead of me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.”
28 यर्दनको पारिपट्टि बेथानियामा यी कुराहरू गरिएका थिए, जहाँ यूहन्नाले बप्तिस्मा दिइरहेका थिए ।
These things happened in Bithabara, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 अर्को दिन यूहन्नाले येशू आफूकहाँ आइरहनुभएको देखे र भने, “हेर, संसारको पाप उठाइलानुहुने परमेश्वरका थुमा!
The next day John sees Jesus coming toward him and says: “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
30 मपछि आउनुहुने मभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँ मभन्दा अगिदेखि नै हुनुहुन्छ भनी मैले भनेको उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is now ahead of me, because He existed before I did.’
31 म उहाँलाई चिन्दिनथेँ, तर उहाँलाई इस्राएलीहरूप्रति प्रकट गराउन सकियोस् भनी म पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिँदै आएँ ।”
I did not know Him; but so that He should be revealed to Israel, that is why I came baptizing with water.”
32 यूहन्नाले यसरी गवाही दिए, “मैले पवित्र आत्मा स्वर्गबाट ढुकुरझैँ ओर्लिरहनुभएको र उहाँमाथि बस्नुभएको देखेँ ।
And John testified saying: “I observed the Spirit coming down like a dove out of heaven, and He rested upon Him.
33 मैले उहाँलाई चिन्दिनथेँ, तर पानीमा बप्तिस्मा दिन पठाउनुहुनेले मलाई भन्नुभयो, ‘तिमीले जसमाथि पवित्र आत्मा ओर्लिरहनुभएको र उहाँमाथि रहनुभएको देख्छौ, पवित्र आत्माले बप्तिस्मा दिनुहुने उहाँले नै हुनुहुन्छ ।’
Now I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, ‘The One upon whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting—this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 मैले देखेको, र उहाँ नै परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ भनेर गवाही दिएको छु ।”
So I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 फेरि अर्को दिन यूहन्ना आफ्ना दुई जना चेलासँग उभिरहँदा,
Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples.
36 तिनीहरूले येशू त्यही बाटो भएर हिँडिरहनुभएको देखे, र यूहन्नाले भने, “हेर, परमेश्वरका थुमा!”
And seeing Jesus walking by, he says, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 यी दुई चेलाले यूहन्नाले यसो भनेका सुने, र तिनीहरूले येशूलाई पछ्याए ।
The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 तब येशूले तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पछ्याइरहेका देख्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू के चाहन्छौ?” तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिए, “रब्बी (जसको अर्थ हो, गुरु), तपाईं कहाँ बस्दै हुनुहुन्छ?”
So turning and observing them following Jesus says to them, “What do you want?” So they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which translated means ‘Teacher’), “where are You staying?”
39 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “आऊ अनि देख्छौ ।” तब उनीहरू आए र उहाँ कहाँ बसिरहनुभएको थियो भनी देखे । त्यस दिन तिनीहरू उहाँसँगै बसे, किनभने दसौँ पहर हुन लागेको थियो ।
He says to them, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where He was staying, and stayed with Him that day—it was about the tenth hour.
40 यूहन्नाले भनेको सुन्ने र येशूलाई पछ्याउनेहरू यी दुई जनामध्ये एक जना सिमोन पत्रुसका भाइ अन्द्रियास थिए ।
One of the two who heard John and followed Him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 अन्द्रियासले आफ्ना भाइ सिमोनलाई भेट्टाएर भने, “हामीले मसीह (जसलाई ख्रीष्ट भनिन्छ) लाई भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”
He first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated ‘Christ’).
42 उनले आफ्ना भाइलाई येशूकहाँ ल्याए । अनि येशूले उनलाई हेर्नुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “तिमी यूहन्नाका छोरा सिमोन हौ । तिमीलाई केफास (जसको अर्थ पत्रुस हो ) भनिनेछ ।
And he led him to Jesus. Looking at him Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you will be called Cephas” (which is translated ‘Stone’).
43 अर्को दिन जब येशू गालीलतिर जान त्यस ठाउँलाई छोड्न चाहनुभयो, उहाँले फिलिपलाई भेट्नुभयो र उनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मलाई पछ्याऊ ।”
The next day He decided to go to Galilee, so He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow me.”
44 फिलिप बेथसेदाका थिए जुन अन्द्रियास र पत्रुसको सहर थियो ।
(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.)
45 फिलिपले नथानेललाई भेटे र उनलाई भने, “मोशाको व्यवस्थामा र अगमवक्ताहरूले लेखेका अर्थात् नासरतका योसेफका छोरो येशूलाई हामीले भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”
Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found the One of whom Moses in the Law—and also the prophets—wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph, from Natsareth.”
46 नथानेलले उनलाई भने, “के नासरतबाट कुनै असल कुरा आउन सक्छ र?” फिलिपले उनलाई भने, “आएर हेर!”
So Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Natsareth?” Philip says to him, “Come and see!”
47 येशूले नथानेललाई आफूकहाँ आइरहेको देख्नुभयो र उनलाई उनको बारेमा भन्नुभयो, “हेर, कुनै छल नभएका एक इस्राएली!”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and says about him, “There, a genuine Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”
48 नथानेलले उहाँलाई भने, “तपाईं मलाई कसरी चिन्नुहुन्छ?” येशूले उनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “फिलिपले बोलाउनुभन्दा पहिले तिमी नेभाराको रुखमुनि हुँदा नै मैले तिमीलाई देखेँ ।”
Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 नथानेलले जवाफ दिए, “रब्बी, तपाईं परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ! तपाईं इस्राएलका राजा हुनुहुन्छ!”
In answer Nathanael says to Him: “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “‘मैले तिमीलाई नेभाराको रुखमुनि देखेँ भनेको कारण, के तिमी मलाई विश्वास गर्छौ? तिमीले योभन्दा ठुला-ठुला कुराहरू देख्नेछौ ।”
Jesus answered and said to him: “You believe because I said that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater than these.”
51 येशूले भन्नुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, “तिमीहरूले स्वर्ग उघ्रिएको, अनि परमेश्वरका स्वर्गदूतहरू मानिसका पुत्रमाथि ओर्लिरहेका र उक्लिरहेका देख्नेछौ ।”
And He says to him, “I tell you (pl) most assuredly, later on you will see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of the Man.”
