In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 ས ཨཱདཱཝཱིཤྭརེཎ སཧཱསཱིཏ྄།
He was in the beginning with God.
3 ཏེན སཪྻྭཾ ཝསྟུ སསྲྀཛེ སཪྻྭེཥུ སྲྀཥྚཝསྟུཥུ ཀིམཔི ཝསྟུ ཏེནཱསྲྀཥྚཾ ནཱསྟི།
Everything was made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
4 ས ཛཱིཝནསྱཱཀཱརཿ, ཏཙྩ ཛཱིཝནཾ མནུཥྱཱཎཱཾ ཛྱོཏིཿ
In Him was life, and that life was the light of mankind.
5 ཏཛྫྱོཏིརནྡྷཀཱརེ པྲཙཀཱཤེ ཀིནྟྭནྡྷཀཱརསྟནྣ ཛགྲཱཧ།
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
6 ཡོཧན྄ ནཱམཀ ཨེཀོ མནུཛ ཨཱིཤྭརེཎ པྲེཥཡཱཉྩཀྲེ།
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 ཏདྭཱརཱ ཡཐཱ སཪྻྭེ ཝིཤྭསནྟི ཏདརྠཾ ས ཏཛྫྱོཏིཥི པྲམཱཎཾ དཱཏུཾ སཱཀྵིསྭརཱུཔོ བྷཱུཏྭཱགམཏ྄,
This man came as a witness, to testify about the light, that all through him might believe.
8 ས སྭཡཾ ཏཛྫྱོཏི རྣ ཀིནྟུ ཏཛྫྱོཏིཥི པྲམཱཎཾ དཱཏུམཱགམཏ྄།
He wasn’t that light, but was sent as a witness of that light.
9 ཛགཏྱཱགཏྱ ཡཿ སཪྻྭམནུཛེབྷྱོ དཱིཔྟིཾ དདཱཏི ཏདེཝ སཏྱཛྱོཏིཿ།
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 ས ཡཛྫགདསྲྀཛཏ྄ ཏནྨདྱ ཨེཝ ས ཨཱསཱིཏ྄ ཀིནྟུ ཛགཏོ ལོཀཱསྟཾ ནཱཛཱནན྄།
The Word was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world didn’t recognize Him.
11 ནིཛཱདྷིཀཱརཾ ས ཨཱགཙྪཏ྄ ཀིནྟུ པྲཛཱསྟཾ ནཱགྲྀཧླན྄།
He came to His own, and those who were His own didn’t receive Him.
12 ཏཐཱཔི ཡེ ཡེ ཏམགྲྀཧླན྄ ཨརྠཱཏ྄ ཏསྱ ནཱམྣི ཝྱཤྭསན྄ ཏེབྷྱ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ པུཏྲཱ བྷཝིཏུམ྄ ཨདྷིཀཱརམ྄ ཨདདཱཏ྄།
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 ཏེཥཱཾ ཛནིཿ ཤོཎིཏཱནྣ ཤཱརཱིརིཀཱབྷིལཱཥཱནྣ མཱནཝཱནཱམིཙྪཱཏོ ན ཀིནྟྭཱིཤྭརཱདབྷཝཏ྄།
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 ས ཝཱདོ མནུཥྱརཱུཔེཎཱཝཏཱིཪྻྱ སཏྱཏཱནུགྲཧཱབྷྱཱཾ པརིཔཱུརྞཿ སན྄ སཱརྡྷམ྄ ཨསྨཱབྷི རྣྱཝསཏ྄ ཏཏཿ པིཏུརདྭིཏཱིཡཔུཏྲསྱ ཡོགྱོ ཡོ མཧིམཱ ཏཾ མཧིམཱནཾ ཏསྱཱཔཤྱཱམ།
The Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as of the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 ཏཏོ ཡོཧནཔི པྲཙཱཪྻྱ སཱཀྵྱམིདཾ དཏྟཝཱན྄ ཡོ མམ པཤྩཱད྄ ཨཱགམིཥྱཏི ས མཏྟོ གུརུཏརཿ; ཡཏོ མཏྤཱུཪྻྭཾ ས ཝིདྱམཱན ཨཱསཱིཏ྄; ཡདརྠམ྄ ཨཧཾ སཱཀྵྱམིདམ྄ ཨདཱཾ ས ཨེཥཿ།
John testified about Him. He cried out, saying, “This was He who I told you about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”
16 ཨཔརཉྩ ཏསྱ པཱུརྞཏཱཡཱ ཝཡཾ སཪྻྭེ ཀྲམཤཿ ཀྲམཤོནུགྲཧཾ པྲཱཔྟཱཿ།
From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.

The Law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 ཀོཔི མནུཛ ཨཱིཤྭརཾ ཀདཱཔི ནཱཔཤྱཏ྄ ཀིནྟུ པིཏུཿ ཀྲོཌསྠོ྅དྭིཏཱིཡཿ པུཏྲསྟཾ པྲཀཱཤཡཏ྄།
No one has ever seen God, but God’s only born Son, who is near to the heart of His Father, has made Him known.
19 ཏྭཾ ཀཿ? ཨིཏི ཝཱཀྱཾ པྲེཥྚུཾ ཡདཱ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀཱ ཡཱཛཀཱན྄ ལེཝིལོཀཱཾཤྩ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམོ ཡོཧནཿ སམཱིཔེ པྲེཥཡཱམཱསུཿ,
Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 ཏདཱ ས སྭཱིཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄ ནཱཔཧྣཱུཏཝཱན྄ ནཱཧམ྄ ཨབྷིཥིཀྟ ཨིཏྱངྒཱིཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄།
He confessed, and didn’t deny, but confessed, “I’m not the Christ.”
21 ཏདཱ ཏེ྅པྲྀཙྪན྄ ཏརྷི ཀོ བྷཝཱན྄? ཀིཾ ཨེལིཡཿ? སོཝདཏ྄ ན; ཏཏསྟེ྅པྲྀཙྪན྄ ཏརྷི བྷཝཱན྄ ས བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདཱི? སོཝདཏ྄ ནཱཧཾ སཿ།
They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
22 ཏདཱ ཏེ྅པྲྀཙྪན྄ ཏརྷི བྷཝཱན྄ ཀཿ? ཝཡཾ གཏྭཱ པྲེརཀཱན྄ ཏྭཡི ཀིཾ ཝཀྵྱཱམཿ? སྭསྨིན྄ ཀིཾ ཝདསི?
Then they asked him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 ཏདཱ སོཝདཏ྄། པརམེཤསྱ པནྠཱནཾ པརིཥྐུརུཏ སཪྻྭཏཿ། ཨིཏཱིདཾ པྲཱནྟརེ ཝཱཀྱཾ ཝདཏཿ ཀསྱཙིདྲཝཿ། ཀཐཱམིམཱཾ ཡསྨིན྄ ཡིཤཡིཡོ བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདཱི ལིཁིཏཝཱན྄ སོཧམ྄།
John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the desert, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
24 ཡེ པྲེཥིཏཱསྟེ ཕིརཱུཤིལོཀཱཿ།
Now those who were sent were Pharisees.
25 ཏདཱ ཏེ྅པྲྀཙྪན྄ ཡདི ནཱབྷིཥིཀྟོསི ཨེལིཡོསི ན ས བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདྱཔི ནཱསི ཙ, ཏརྷི ལོཀཱན྄ མཛྫཡསི ཀུཏཿ?
They asked him, saying, “Why then do you baptize if you aren’t the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
26 ཏཏོ ཡོཧན྄ པྲཏྱཝོཙཏ྄, ཏོཡེ྅ཧཾ མཛྫཡཱམཱིཏི སཏྱཾ ཀིནྟུ ཡཾ ཡཱུཡཾ ན ཛཱནཱིཐ ཏཱདྲྀཤ ཨེཀོ ཛནོ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ མདྷྱ ཨུཔཏིཥྛཏི།
John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water, but One stands among you that you don’t know.
27 ས མཏྤཤྩཱད྄ ཨཱགཏོཔི མཏྤཱུཪྻྭཾ ཝརྟྟམཱན ཨཱསཱིཏ྄ ཏསྱ པཱདུཀཱབནྡྷནཾ མོཙཡིཏུམཔི ནཱཧཾ ཡོགྱོསྨི།
It is He who, coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to untie.”
28 ཡརྡྡནནདྱཱཿ པཱརསྠབཻཐབཱརཱཡཱཾ ཡསྨིནྶྠཱནེ ཡོཧནམཛྫཡཏ྄ ཏསྨིན སྠཱནེ སཪྻྭམེཏད྄ ཨགྷཊཏ།
This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 པརེ྅ཧནི ཡོཧན྄ སྭནིཀཊམཱགཙྪནྟཾ ཡིཤུཾ ཝིལོཀྱ པྲཱཝོཙཏ྄ ཛགཏཿ པཱཔམོཙཀམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ མེཥཤཱཝཀཾ པཤྱཏ།
The next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Look! God’s Lamb who takes away the sin of the world!
30 ཡོ མམ པཤྩཱདཱགམིཥྱཏི ས མཏྟོ གུརུཏརཿ, ཡཏོ ཧེཏོརྨཏྤཱུཪྻྭཾ སོ྅ཝརྟྟཏ ཡསྨིནྣཧཾ ཀཐཱམིམཱཾ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ས ཨེཝཱཡཾ།
This is the One I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me is preferred before me because He existed before me.’
31 ཨཔརཾ ནཱཧམེནཾ པྲཏྱབྷིཛྙཱཏཝཱན྄ ཀིནྟུ ཨིསྲཱཡེལློཀཱ ཨེནཾ ཡཐཱ པརིཙིནྭནྟི ཏདབྷིཔྲཱཡེཎཱཧཾ ཛལེ མཛྫཡིཏུམཱགཙྪམ྄།
I didn’t know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”
32 པུནཤྩ ཡོཧནཔརམེཀཾ པྲམཱཎཾ དཏྭཱ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཝིཧཱཡསཿ ཀཔོཏཝད྄ ཨཝཏརནྟམཱཏྨཱནམ྄ ཨསྱོཔཪྻྱཝཏིཥྛནྟཾ ཙ དྲྀཥྚཝཱནཧམ྄།
John testified, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.
33 ནཱཧམེནཾ པྲཏྱབྷིཛྙཱཏཝཱན྄ ཨིཏི སཏྱཾ ཀིནྟུ ཡོ ཛལེ མཛྫཡིཏུཾ མཱཾ པྲཻརཡཏ྄ ས ཨེཝེམཱཾ ཀཐཱམཀཐཡཏ྄ ཡསྱོཔཪྻྱཱཏྨཱནམ྄ ཨཝཏརནྟམ྄ ཨཝཏིཥྛནྟཉྩ དྲཀྵཡསི སཨེཝ པཝིཏྲེ ཨཱཏྨནི མཛྫཡིཥྱཏི།
I wouldn’t have known Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘Whoever you see the Spirit descending upon, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 ཨཝསྟནྣིརཱིཀྵྱཱཡམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ ཏནཡ ཨིཏི པྲམཱཎཾ དདཱམི།
I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Son.”
35 པརེ྅ཧནི ཡོཧན྄ དྭཱབྷྱཱཾ ཤིཥྱཱབྷྱཱཾ སཱརྡྡྷེཾ ཏིཥྛན྄
The next day, John again stood with two of His disciples.
36 ཡིཤུཾ གཙྪནྟཾ ཝིལོཀྱ གདིཏཝཱན྄, ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ མེཥཤཱཝཀཾ པཤྱཏཾ།
When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, God’s Lamb!”
37 ཨིམཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ དྭཽ ཤིཥྱཽ ཡཱིཤོཿ པཤྩཱད྄ ཨཱིཡཏུཿ།
The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
38 ཏཏོ ཡཱིཤུཿ པརཱཝྲྀཏྱ ཏཽ པཤྩཱད྄ ཨཱགཙྪནྟཽ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ པྲྀཥྚཝཱན྄ ཡུཝཱཾ ཀིཾ གཝེཤཡཐཿ? ཏཱཝཔྲྀཙྪཏཱཾ ཧེ རབྦི ཨརྠཱཏ྄ ཧེ གུརོ བྷཝཱན྄ ཀུཏྲ ཏིཥྛཏི?
Jesus turned, and seeing them following, asked them, “What are you looking for?” They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which, when translated, means Teacher), “Where are You staying?”
39 ཏཏཿ སོཝཱདིཏ྄ ཨེཏྱ པཤྱཏཾ། ཏཏོ དིཝསསྱ ཏྲྀཏཱིཡཔྲཧརསྱ གཏཏྭཱཏ྄ ཏཽ ཏདྡིནཾ ཏསྱ སངྒེ྅སྠཱཏཱཾ།
He told them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.

Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus.
41 ས ཨིཏྭཱ པྲཐམཾ ནིཛསོདརཾ ཤིམོནཾ སཱཀྵཱཏྤྲཱཔྱ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཝཡཾ ཁྲཱིཥྚམ྄ ཨརྠཱཏ྄ ཨབྷིཥིཀྟཔུརུཥཾ སཱཀྵཱཏྐྲྀཏཝནྟཿ།
The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother, Simon, and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, translated, the Christ).
42 པཤྩཱཏ྄ ས ཏཾ ཡིཤོཿ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨཱནཡཏ྄། ཏདཱ ཡཱིཤུསྟཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱཝདཏ྄ ཏྭཾ ཡཱུནསཿ པུཏྲཿ ཤིམོན྄ ཀིནྟུ ཏྭནྣཱམདྷེཡཾ ཀཻཕཱཿ ཝཱ པིཏརཿ ཨརྠཱཏ྄ པྲསྟརོ བྷཝིཥྱཏི།
Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).

The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he told him, “Follow me.”

Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found Him who Moses in the Law, and also the prophets, wrote about — Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46 ཏདཱ ནིཐནེལ྄ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ནཱསརནྣགརཱཏ ཀིཾ ཀཤྩིདུཏྟམ ཨུཏྤནྟུཾ ཤཀྣོཏི? ཏཏཿ ཕིལིཔོ ྅ཝོཙཏ྄ ཨེཏྱ པཤྱ།
Nathanael asked Philip, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip told Nathanael, “Come and see.”
47 ཨཔརཉྩ ཡཱིཤུཿ སྭསྱ སམཱིཔཾ ཏམ྄ ཨཱགཙྪནྟཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ ཝྱཱཧྲྀཏཝཱན྄, པཤྱཱཡཾ ནིཥྐཔཊཿ སཏྱ ཨིསྲཱཡེལློཀཿ།
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of Nathanael, “Look! An Israelite indeed, who has no deceit in him!”
48 ཏཏཿ སོཝདད྄, བྷཝཱན྄ མཱཾ ཀཐཾ པྲཏྱབྷིཛཱནཱཏི? ཡཱིཤུརཝཱདཱིཏ྄ ཕིལིཔསྱ ཨཱཧྭཱནཱཏ྄ པཱུཪྻྭཾ ཡདཱ ཏྭམུཌུམྦརསྱ ཏརོརྨཱུལེ྅སྠཱསྟདཱ ཏྭཱམདརྴམ྄།
Nathanael asked Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

Jesus said to him, “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”
51 ཨནྱཙྩཱཝཱདཱིད྄ ཡུཥྨཱནཧཾ ཡཐཱརྠཾ ཝདཱམི, ཨིཏཿ པརཾ མོཙིཏེ མེགྷདྭཱརེ ཏསྨཱནྨནུཛསཱུནུནཱ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ དཱུཏགཎམ྄ ཨཝརོཧནྟམཱརོཧནྟཉྩ དྲཀྵྱཐ།
And He told him, “Most assuredly, I tell you, you will see Heaven opened, and God’s angels ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
