< 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 was in the beginning with God.
3 सबै थोकहरू उहाँद्वारा बनिए, र बनिएको कुनै पनि थोक उहाँविना बनिएन ।
All things were made by him; and without him was not one thing made that was made.
4 उहाँमा जीवन थियो, अनि त्यो जीवन सबै मानिसहरूका लागि ज्योति थियो ।
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 ज्योति अन्धकारमा चम्किन्छ, अनि अन्धकारले यसलाई जितेन ।
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 परमेश्वरबाट पठाइएका एक जना मानिस थिए, जसको नाउँ यूहन्ना थियो ।
A man was sent from God, whose name was John.
7 उहाँद्वारा सबैले विश्वास गरून् भनेर उहाँ ज्योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन साक्षीको रूपमा आउनुभयो ।
He came for a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 यूहन्ना ज्योति थिएनन्, तर ज्योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन भनेर उनी आए ।
He was not the Light, but sent that he should bear testimony concerning the Light.
9 उहाँ सबै मानिसहरूलाई ज्योति दिनुहुने र संसारमा आउनुहुने सत्य ज्योति हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
He was that true Light, which illumines every man by his coming into the world.
10 उहाँ संसारमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो र संसार उहाँद्वारा नै बनियो, तर संसारले उहाँलाई चिनेन ।
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 उहाँ आफ्नैहरूकहाँ आउनुभयो, तर उहाँलाई आफ्नैहरूले स्वीकार गरेनन् ।
He came unto his peculiar people, and his peculiar 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, on them he bestowed authority to become children of God, even on those who believe on his name:
13 यिनीहरू न रगतले, न शारीरिक इच्छाअनुसार, न मानिसको इच्छाअनुसार नै जन्मेका थिए, तर परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेका थिए ।
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 अनि वचन देहधारी हुनुभयो र हाम्रा बिचमा बास गर्नुभयो । हामीले पिताबाट आउनुभएका एक मात्रको जस्तो अर्थात् अनुग्रह र सत्यताले पूर्ण महिमा देख्यौँ ।
And the Word became incarnate, and tabernacled with us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of 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 bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that is coming after me, is before me: because before me he was.
16 किनकि उहाँको पूर्णताबाट हामी सबैले अनुग्रहमाथि अनुग्रह पाएका छौँ ।
And from his plenitude we all have received, even grace corresponding with his grace.
17 किनकि व्यवस्था मोशाद्वारा दिइयो । अनुग्रह र सत्यता येशू ख्रीष्टद्वारा आयो ।
For the law was given by Moses, but the grace and the reality came by Jesus Christ.
18 कसैले पनि परमेश्वरलाई कहिल्यै देखेको छैन । पिताको छातीमा अडेस लाग्नुहुने एक मात्र परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई चिनाउनुभएको छ ।
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath thoroughly described him.
19 यहूदीहरूले यरूशलेमबाट पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई “तिमी को हौ?” भनी सोध्न पठाउँदा यूहन्नाको गवाही यही हो ।
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they should question him, Who art thou?
20 उनले खुला भएर भने, र इन्कार गरेनन्, तर जवाफ दिए, “म ख्रीष्ट होइनँ ।”
And he confessed, and denied it not; but acknowledged, I am not the Messiah.
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 ।”
And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? and he said, I am not. Art thou that prophet? and he answered, No.
22 तब तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “तिमी को हौ, ताकि हामीलाई पठाउनेहरूलाई हामीले जवाफ दिन सकौँ? तिमी आफ्नै बारेमा के भन्छौ?”
Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us: What description givest thou of thyself?
23 उनले भने, “म मरुभूमिमा कराइरहेको एउटा आवाज हुँ । ‘परमप्रभुको निम्ति बाटो सोझो बनाओ’ जस्तो यशैया अगमवक्ताले भने ।”
He said, I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way for the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
24 ती पठाइएकाहरू फरिसीहरूबाटका थिए ।
And they who were sent, were of the Pharisees.
25 तिनीहरूले उनलाई सोधे र भने, “तिमी न ख्रीष्ट, न एलिया, न अगमवक्ता नै हौ भने किन बप्तिस्मा दिन्छौ?”
And they questioned him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptise, if thou be not the Messiah, nor Elias, nor that 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 baptise with water: but in the midst of you hath stood a person, whom ye have not known;
27 उहाँ जो मपछि आउनुहुन्छ, म उहाँको जुत्ताको फित्ता खोल्न लायकको छैनँ ।”
it is he, though coming after me, who was before me, the thong of whole sandal I am not worthy to untie.
28 यर्दनको पारिपट्टि बेथानियामा यी कुराहरू गरिएका थिए, जहाँ यूहन्नाले बप्तिस्मा दिइरहेका थिए ।
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptising.
29 अर्को दिन यूहन्नाले येशू आफूकहाँ आइरहनुभएको देखे र भने, “हेर, संसारको पाप उठाइलानुहुने परमेश्वरका थुमा!
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 मपछि आउनुहुने मभन्दा महान् हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँ मभन्दा अगिदेखि नै हुनुहुन्छ भनी मैले भनेको उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ ।
This is he of whom I spake, After me cometh a man who was before me: for before me he existed.
31 म उहाँलाई चिन्दिनथेँ, तर उहाँलाई इस्राएलीहरूप्रति प्रकट गराउन सकियोस् भनी म पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिँदै आएँ ।”
And I knew him not: though that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore am I come baptising with water.
32 यूहन्नाले यसरी गवाही दिए, “मैले पवित्र आत्मा स्वर्गबाट ढुकुरझैँ ओर्लिरहनुभएको र उहाँमाथि बस्नुभएको देखेँ ।
And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it 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 ।’
And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost.
34 मैले देखेको, र उहाँ नै परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ भनेर गवाही दिएको छु ।”
And I have seen it, and have borne testimony that this is the Son of God.
35 फेरि अर्को दिन यूहन्ना आफ्ना दुई जना चेलासँग उभिरहँदा,
On the morrow John was again standing with two of his disciples;
36 तिनीहरूले येशू त्यही बाटो भएर हिँडिरहनुभएको देखे, र यूहन्नाले भने, “हेर, परमेश्वरका थुमा!”
and looking upon Jesus as he walked by, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 यी दुई चेलाले यूहन्नाले यसो भनेका सुने, र तिनीहरूले येशूलाई पछ्याए ।
And 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?”
Then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, saith to them, What are ye seeking? They said unto him, Rabbi (which signifies, when translated, Master), where is thy abode?
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 saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he abode, and continued with him that day: and 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 had heard from John mention of Jesus, and had 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 saith to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being translated, the 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 brought him to Jesus. Then Jesus looking on him, said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas: thou shalt be called Cephas, which, interpreted in Greek, is Petros, a Rock.
43 अर्को दिन जब येशू गालीलतिर जान त्यस ठाउँलाई छोड्न चाहनुभयो, उहाँले फिलिपलाई भेट्नुभयो र उनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मलाई पछ्याऊ ।”
The next day Jesus resolved to go into Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me.
44 फिलिप बेथसेदाका थिए जुन अन्द्रियास र पत्रुसको सहर थियो ।
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city 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 findeth Nathaniel, and saith to him, We have found him whom Moses in the law has described, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.
46 नथानेलले उनलाई भने, “के नासरतबाट कुनै असल कुरा आउन सक्छ र?” फिलिपले उनलाई भने, “आएर हेर!”
And Nathaniel said to him, Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
47 येशूले नथानेललाई आफूकहाँ आइरहेको देख्नुभयो र उनलाई उनको बारेमा भन्नुभयो, “हेर, कुनै छल नभएका एक इस्राएली!”
Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite in reality, in whom there is no guile!
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 ।”
Nathaniel saith unto him, From whence canst thou know me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 नथानेलले जवाफ दिए, “रब्बी, तपाईं परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ! तपाईं इस्राएलका राजा हुनुहुन्छ!”
Nathaniel answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art 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 unto him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 येशूले भन्नुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, “तिमीहरूले स्वर्ग उघ्रिएको, अनि परमेश्वरका स्वर्गदूतहरू मानिसका पुत्रमाथि ओर्लिरहेका र उक्लिरहेका देख्नेछौ ।”
And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I tell you, From henceforth ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
