< 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 ।
This 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 not a single creature 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 man.
5 ज्‍योति अन्धकारमा चम्‍किन्छ, अनि अन्धकारले यसलाई जितेन ।
And the light shone in darkness, but the darkness received it not.
6 परमेश्‍वरबाट पठाइएका एक जना मानिस थिए, जसको नाउँ यूहन्‍ना थियो ।
A man named John, was sent from God.
7 उहाँद्वारा सबैले विश्‍वास गरून् भनेर उहाँ ज्‍योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन साक्षीको रूपमा आउनुभयो ।
This man came as a witness, to testify concerning the light, that through him, all might believe.
8 यूहन्‍ना ज्‍योति थिएनन्, तर ज्‍योतिको बारेमा गवाही दिन भनेर उनी आए ।
He was not himself the light; but came to testify concerning the light.
9 उहाँ सबै मानिसहरूलाई ज्योति दिनुहुने र संसारमा आउनुहुने सत्‍य ज्‍योति हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
The true light was he who, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
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; yet the world knew him not.
11 उहाँ आफ्नैहरूकहाँ आउनुभयो, तर उहाँलाई आफ्नैहरूले स्‍वीकार गरेनन् ।
He came to his own land, and 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 to as many as received him, believing in his name, he granted the privilege of being children of God;
13 यिनीहरू न रगतले, न शारीरिक इच्छाअनुसार, न मानिसको इच्छाअनुसार नै जन्‍मेका थिए, तर परमेश्‍वरबाट जन्‍मेका थिए ।
who derive their birth not from blood, nor from the desire of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from 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 sojourned amongst us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of favor 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 ।”
(It was concerning him John testified, when he cried, This is He of whom I said, He that comes after me, is preferred to me; for he was before me.)
16 किनकि उहाँको पूर्णताबाट हामी सबैले अनुग्रहमाथि अनुग्रह पाएका छौँ ।
Of his fulness we all have received, even favor for favor's sake;
17 किनकि व्‍यवस्‍था मोशाद्वारा दिइयो । अनुग्रह र सत्‍यता येशू ख्रीष्‍टद्वारा आयो ।
for the law was given by Moses--the favor and the truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 कसैले पनि परमेश्‍वरलाई कहिल्‍यै देखेको छैन । पिताको छातीमा अडेस लाग्‍नुहुने एक मात्र परमेश्‍वरले उहाँलाई चिनाउनुभएको छ ।
No one ever saw God; it is the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, who has made him known.
19 यहूदीहरूले यरूशलेमबाट पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई “तिमी को हौ?” भनी सोध्‍न पठाउँदा यूहन्‍नाको गवाही यही हो ।
Now this is the testimony of John. 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 acknowledged, and denied not, but acknowledged, saying, 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, Who, then? Are you Elijah? He said, I am not. Are you the prophet? He answered, No.
22 तब तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “तिमी को हौ, ताकि हामीलाई पठाउनेहरूलाई हामीले जवाफ दिन सकौँ? तिमी आफ्नै बारेमा के भन्‍छौ?”
They said, Tell, then, who you are, that we may return an answer to them who sent us. What do you say of yourself?
23 उनले भने, “म मरुभूमिमा कराइरहेको एउटा आवाज हुँ । ‘परमप्रभुको निम्‍ति बाटो सोझो बनाओ’ जस्तो यशैया अगमवक्‍ताले भने ।”
He answered, I am he whose voice proclaims in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord," as said, the Prophet Isaiah.
24 ती पठाइएकाहरू फरिसीहरूबाटका थिए ।
Now 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 further, Why, then, do you immerse, if you be not the Messiah, 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, I immerse in water, but there is one among you whom you know not.
27 उहाँ जो मपछि आउनुहुन्‍छ, म उहाँको जुत्ताको फित्ता खोल्‍न लायकको छैनँ ।”
It is he who comes after me, and was before me; whose shoe-string I am not worthy to loose.
28 यर्दनको पारिपट्टि बेथानियामा यी कुराहरू गरिएका थिए, जहाँ यूहन्‍नाले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिइरहेका थिए ।
This happened at Bethabara, upon the Jordan, where John was immersing.
29 अर्को दिन यूहन्‍नाले येशू आफूकहाँ आइरहनुभएको देखे र भने, “हेर, संसारको पाप उठाइलानुहुने परमेश्‍वरका थुमा!
On the next day, John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, that 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, concerning whom I said, After me a man comes, who is preferred to me; for he was before me.
31 म उहाँलाई चिन्‍दिनथेँ, तर उहाँलाई इस्राएलीहरूप्रति प्रकट गराउन सकियोस् भनी म पानीले बप्‍तिस्‍मा दिँदै आएँ ।”
As for me, I knew him not; but, that he might be made manifest to Israel, I am come immersing in water.
32 यूहन्‍नाले यसरी गवाही दिए, “मैले पवित्र आत्‍मा स्‍वर्गबाट ढुकुरझैँ ओर्लिरहनुभएको र उहाँमाथि बस्‍नुभएको देखेँ ।
John testified further, saying, I saw the spirit descending from heaven, like a dove, and remaining 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 ।’
For my part, I should not have known him, had not He, who sent me to immerse in water, told me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining, the same is He who immerses in the Holy Spirit.
34 मैले देखेको, र उहाँ नै परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्‍छ भनेर गवाही दिएको छु ।”
Having, therefore, seen this, I testify that he is the Son of God.
35 फेरि अर्को दिन यूहन्‍ना आफ्ना दुई जना चेलासँग उभिरहँदा,
The next day, John, being with two of his disciples,
36 तिनीहरूले येशू त्यही बाटो भएर हिँडिरहनुभएको देखे, र यूहन्‍नाले भने, “हेर, परमेश्‍वरका थुमा!”
observed Jesus passing, and said, Behold the Lamb of God.
37 यी दुई चेलाले यूहन्‍नाले यसो भनेका सुने, र तिनीहरूले येशूलाई पछ्याए ।
The two disciples hearing this, 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?”
And Jesus turning about, saw them following, and said to them, What do you seek? They answered, Rabbi, (which signifies Teacher, ) where do you dwell?
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 replied, Come, and see. They went, and saw where he dwelt, and it being about the tenth hour, abode with him that day.
40 यूहन्‍नाले भनेको सुन्‍ने र येशूलाई पछ्याउनेहरू यी दुई जनामध्‍ये एक जना सिमोन पत्रुसका भाइ अन्‍द्रियास थिए ।
One of the two, who, having heard John, followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 अन्‍द्रियासले आफ्ना भाइ सिमोनलाई भेट्टाएर भने, “हामीले मसीह (जसलाई ख्रीष्‍ट भनिन्छ) लाई भेट्टाएका छौँ ।”
The first he met, was his own brother, Simon; to whom he said, We have found the Messiah, (a name equivalent to 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. Jesus, looking upon him, said, You are Simon, the son of Jona; you shall be called Cephas, (which denotes the same as Peter.)
43 अर्को दिन जब येशू गालीलतिर जान त्यस ठाउँलाई छोड्न चाहनुभयो, उहाँले फिलिपलाई भेट्‌नुभयो र उनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मलाई पछ्याऊ ।”
The next day, he resolved to go to Galilee, and meeting Philip, said 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 meets Nathanael, and says to him, We have found the person described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, of Nazareth.
46 नथानेलले उनलाई भने, “के नासरतबाट कुनै असल कुरा आउन सक्‍छ र?” फिलिपले उनलाई भने, “आएर हेर!”
Nathanael says to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip answered, Come and see.
47 येशूले नथानेललाई आफूकहाँ आइरहेको देख्‍नुभयो र उनलाई उनको बारेमा भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर, कुनै छल नभएका एक इस्राएली!”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said, concerning him, Behold an Israelite, indeed, in whom 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 ।”
Nathanael said to him, Whence do you know me? Jesus answered, I saw you when you were under the fig tree, before Philip called you.
49 नथानेलले जवाफ दिए, “रब्‍बी, तपाईं परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्‍छ! तपाईं इस्राएलका राजा हुनुहुन्‍छ!”
Nathanael replying, said 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 him, saying, Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe!
51 येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍दछु, “तिमीहरूले स्‍वर्ग उघ्रिएको, अनि परमेश्‍वरका स्‍वर्गदूतहरू मानिसका पुत्रमाथि ओर्लिरहेका र उक्‍लिरहेका देख्‍नेछौ ।”
He added, Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending from the Son of Man, and descending to him.
