In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was in the beginning with God.
3 tEna sarvvaM vastu sasRjE sarvvESu sRSTavastuSu kimapi vastu tEnAsRSTaM nAsti|
All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
4 sa jIvanasyAkAraH, tacca jIvanaM manuSyANAM jyOtiH
In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.

And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.

There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 tadvArA yathA sarvvE vizvasanti tadarthaM sa tajjyOtiSi pramANaM dAtuM sAkSisvarUpO bhUtvAgamat,
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 sa yajjagadasRjat tanmadya Eva sa AsIt kintu jagatO lOkAstaM nAjAnan|
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
11 nijAdhikAraM sa Agacchat kintu prajAstaM nAgRhlan|
He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
12 tathApi yE yE tamagRhlan arthAt tasya nAmni vyazvasan tEbhya Izvarasya putrA bhavitum adhikAram adadAt|
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,
13 tESAM janiH zONitAnna zArIrikAbhilASAnna mAnavAnAmicchAtO na kintvIzvarAdabhavat|
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.

John testified about him and shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
16 aparanjca tasya pUrNatAyA vayaM sarvvE kramazaH kramazOnugrahaM prAptAH|
For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.

For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah.
18 kOpi manuja IzvaraM kadApi nApazyat kintu pituH krOPasthO'dvitIyaH putrastaM prakAzayat|
No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent cohanim and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
20 tadA sa svIkRtavAn nApahnUtavAn nAham abhiSikta ityaggIkRtavAn|
And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Messiah."
21 tadA tE'pRcchan tarhi kO bhavAn? kiM EliyaH? sOvadat na; tatastE'pRcchan tarhi bhavAn sa bhaviSyadvAdI? sOvadat nAhaM saH|
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
22 tadA tE'pRcchan tarhi bhavAn kaH? vayaM gatvA prErakAn tvayi kiM vakSyAmaH? svasmin kiM vadasi?
They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
24 yE prESitAstE phirUzilOkAH|
(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
25 tadA tE'pRcchan yadi nAbhiSiktOsi EliyOsi na sa bhaviSyadvAdyapi nAsi ca, tarhi lOkAn majjayasi kutaH?
And they asked him, "Why then do you immerse, if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
26 tatO yOhan pratyavOcat, tOyE'haM majjayAmIti satyaM kintu yaM yUyaM na jAnItha tAdRza EkO janO yuSmAkaM madhya upatiSThati|
John answered them, saying, "I immerse in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
27 sa matpazcAd AgatOpi matpUrvvaM varttamAna AsIt tasya pAdukAbandhanaM mOcayitumapi nAhaM yOgyOsmi|
He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."

These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was immersing.

The next day, he saw Yeshua coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
30 yO mama pazcAdAgamiSyati sa mattO gurutaraH, yatO hEtOrmatpUrvvaM sO'varttata yasminnahaM kathAmimAM kathitavAn sa EvAyaM|
This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
31 aparaM nAhamEnaM pratyabhijnjAtavAn kintu isrAyEllOkA EnaM yathA paricinvanti tadabhiprAyENAhaM jalE majjayitumAgaccham|
I did not know him, but for this reason I came immersing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
32 punazca yOhanaparamEkaM pramANaM datvA kathitavAn vihAyasaH kapOtavad avatarantamAtmAnam asyOparyyavatiSThantaM ca dRSTavAnaham|
And John testified, saying, "I saw the Ruach descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to immerse in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Ruach descending, and remaining on him, this is he who immerses in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.'
34 avastannirIkSyAyam Izvarasya tanaya iti pramANaM dadAmi|
And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
35 parE'hani yOhan dvAbhyAM ziSyAbhyAM sArddhEM tiSThan
Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his talmidim,
36 yizuM gacchantaM vilOkya gaditavAn, Izvarasya mESazAvakaM pazyataM|
and he looked at Yeshua as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
37 imAM kathAM zrutvA dvau ziSyau yIzOH pazcAd IyatuH|
And the two talmidim heard him say this, and they followed Yeshua.

And Yeshua turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
39 tataH sOvAdit Etya pazyataM| tatO divasasya tRtIyapraharasya gatatvAt tau taddinaM tasya saggE'sthAtAM|
He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.

One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Shim'on Peter's brother.
41 sa itvA prathamaM nijasOdaraM zimOnaM sAkSAtprApya kathitavAn vayaM khrISTam arthAt abhiSiktapuruSaM sAkSAtkRtavantaH|
He first found his own brother, Shim'on, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Anointed One).

He brought him to Yeshua. Yeshua looked at him, and said, "You are Shim'on the son of John. You shall be called Kefa" (which is translated, Peter).
43 parE'hani yIzau gAlIlaM gantuM nizcitacEtasi sati philipanAmAnaM janaM sAkSAtprApyAvOcat mama pazcAd Agaccha|
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galil, and he found Philip. And Yeshua said to him, "Follow me."

Now Philip was from Beit Tzaidah, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Yeshua of Natzeret, the son of Joseph."
46 tadA nithanEl kathitavAn nAsarannagarAta kiM kazciduttama utpantuM zaknOti? tataH philipO 'vOcat Etya pazya|
And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Natzeret?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
47 aparanjca yIzuH svasya samIpaM tam AgacchantaM dRSTvA vyAhRtavAn, pazyAyaM niSkapaTaH satya isrAyEllOkaH|
Yeshua saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."

Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Yeshua answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
49 nithanEl acakathat, hE gurO bhavAn nitAntam Izvarasya putrOsi, bhavAn isrAyElvaMzasya rAjA|
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."

Yeshua answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
