Juan 1
1 En el principio era el Verbo, y el Verbo estaba con Dios, y el Verbo era Dios.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.
2 El mismo estaba en el principio con Dios.
He was with God in the beginning.
3 Todas las cosas fueron hechas por medio de él. Sin él no se hizo nada de lo que se ha hecho.
All things were made through Him, and nothing that was made was made without Him.
4 En él estaba la vida, y la vida era la luz de los hombres.
Life was in Him, and Life was the light of men.
5 La luz brilla en las tinieblas, y las tinieblas no la han vencido.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 Vino un hombre enviado por Dios, que se llamaba Juan.
There was a man sent by God, whose name was John.
7 Este vino como testigo, para dar testimonio de la luz, a fin de que todos creyeran por medio de él.
He arrived as a witness to offer testimony about the Light, so that all would believe through him.
8 Él no era la luz, sino que fue enviado para dar testimonio de la luz.
He was not the Light, but he was to offer testimony about the Light.
9 La verdadera luz que ilumina a todo hombre, venía a este mundo.
The true Light, which illuminates every man, was coming into this world.
10 Estaba en el mundo, y el mundo fue hecho por medio de él, y el mundo no le reconoció.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him.
11 Vino a los suyos, y los suyos no le recibieron.
He went to his own, and his own did not accept him.
12 Pero a todos los que le recibieron, les dio el derecho de ser hijos de Dios, a los que creen en su nombre:
Yet whoever did accept him, those who believed in his name, he gave them the power to become the sons of God.
13 que no nacieron de sangre, ni de voluntad de carne, ni de voluntad de hombre, sino de Dios.
These are born, not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 El Verbo se hizo carne y vivió entre nosotros. Vimos su gloria, una gloria como la del Hijo unigénito del Padre, lleno de gracia y de verdad.
And the Word became flesh, and he lived among us, and we saw his glory, glory like that of an only-begotten Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Juan dio testimonio de él. Clamó diciendo: “Este era aquel de quien dije: “El que viene después de mí me ha superado, porque era antes que yo””.
John offers testimony about him, and he cries out, saying: “This is the one about whom I said: ‘He who is to come after me, has been placed ahead of me, because he existed before me.’”
16 De su plenitud todos hemos recibido gracia sobre gracia.
And from his fullness, we all have received, even grace for grace.
17 Porque la ley fue dada por medio de Moisés. La gracia y la verdad se realizaron por medio de Jesucristo.
For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Nadie ha visto a Dios en ningún momento. El Hijo único, que está en el seno del Padre, lo ha declarado.
No one ever saw God; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he himself has described him.
19 Este es el testimonio de Juan, cuando los judíos enviaron sacerdotes y levitas de Jerusalén para preguntarle: “¿Quién eres tú?”
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him, so that they might ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Declaró, y no negó, sino declaró: “Yo no soy el Cristo”.
And he confessed it and did not deny it; and what he confessed was: “I am not the Christ.”
21 Le preguntaron: “¿Entonces qué? ¿Eres tú Elías?” Él dijo: “No lo soy”. “¿Eres el profeta?” Él respondió: “No”.
And they questioned him: “Then what are you? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
22 Le dijeron entonces: “¿Quién eres tú? Danos una respuesta para llevarla a los que nos han enviado. ¿Qué dices de ti mismo?”
Therefore, 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 Dijo: “Soy la voz del que clama en el desierto: “Enderezad el camino del Señor”, como dijo el profeta Isaías”.
He said, “I am a voice crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ just as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 Los enviados eran de los fariseos.
And some of those who had been sent were from among the Pharisees.
25 Le preguntaron: “¿Por qué, pues, bautizas si no eres el Cristo, ni Elías, ni el profeta?”.
And they questioned him and said to him, “Then why do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, and not Elijah, and not the Prophet?”
26 Juan les respondió: “Yo bautizo en agua, pero entre vosotros hay uno que no conocéis.
John answered them by saying: “I baptize with water. But in your midst stands one, whom you do not know.
27 Él es el que viene después de mí, el que es preferido antes que yo, cuya correa de la sandalia no soy digno de desatar.”
The same is he who is to come after me, who has been placed ahead of me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen.”
28 Estas cosas sucedieron en Betania, al otro lado del Jordán, donde Juan bautizaba.
These things happened in Bethania, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Al día siguiente, vio a Jesús que se acercaba a él, y dijo: “¡He aquí el Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo!
On the next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him, and so he said: “Behold, the Lamb of God. Behold, he who takes away the sin of the world.
30 Este es aquel de quien dije: “Después de mí viene un hombre que es preferido antes que yo, porque era antes que yo”.
This is the one about whom I said, ‘After me arrives a man, who has been placed ahead of me, because he existed before me.’
31 Yo no lo conocía, pero por eso vine a bautizar en agua, para que fuera revelado a Israel.”
And I did not know him. Yet it is for this reason that I come baptizing with water: so that he may be made manifest in Israel.”
32 Juan dio testimonio diciendo: “He visto al Espíritu descender del cielo como una paloma, y permaneció sobre él.
And John offered testimony, saying: “For I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove; and he remained upon him.
33 Yo no lo reconocí, pero el que me envió a bautizar en agua me dijo: ‘Sobre quien veas descender el Espíritu y permanecer sobre él es el que bautiza en el Espíritu Santo’.
And I did not know him. But he who sent me to baptize with water said to me: ‘He over whom you will see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 He visto y he dado testimonio de que éste es el Hijo de Dios”.
And I saw, and I gave testimony: that this one is the Son of God.”
35 Al día siguiente, Juan estaba de pie con dos de sus discípulos,
The next day again, John was standing with two of his disciples.
36 y mirando a Jesús mientras caminaba, dijo: “¡He aquí el Cordero de Dios!”
And catching sight of Jesus walking, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”
37 Los dos discípulos le oyeron hablar y siguieron a Jesús.
And two disciples were listening to him speaking. And they followed Jesus.
38 Jesús se volvió y, al ver que le seguían, les dijo: “¿Qué buscáis?” Le dijeron: “Rabí” (que se interpreta como Maestro), “¿dónde te alojas?”.
Then Jesus, turning around and seeing them following him, said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi (which means in translation, Teacher), where do you live?”
39 Les dijo: “Venid y ved”. Vinieron y vieron dónde se alojaba, y se quedaron con él ese día. Era como la hora décima.
He said to them, “Come and see.” They went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about the tenth hour.
40 Uno de los que oyeron a Juan y le siguieron fue Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro.
And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard about him from John and had followed him.
41 Este encontró primero a su propio hermano, Simón, y le dijo: “¡Hemos encontrado al Mesías!” (que es, interpretado, Cristo).
First, he found his brother Simon, and he said to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is translated as the Christ).
42 Lo llevó a Jesús. Jesús lo miró y le dijo: “Tú eres Simón, hijo de Jonás. Seras llamado Cefas” (que es, por interpretación, Pedro).
And he led him to Jesus. And Jesus, gazing at him, said: “You are Simon, son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas,” (which is translated as Peter).
43 Al día siguiente, decidido a salir a Galilea, encontró a Felipe. Jesús le dijo: “Sígueme”.
On the next day, he wanted to go into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Felipe era de Betsaida, la ciudad de Andrés y Pedro.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Felipe encontró a Natanael y le dijo: “Hemos encontrado a aquel de quien escribió Moisés en la ley y también los profetas: Jesús de Nazaret, hijo de José”.
Philip found Nathanael, and he said to him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the Law and the Prophets: Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
46 Natanael le dijo: “¿Puede salir algo bueno de Nazaret?” Felipe le dijo: “Ven a ver”.
And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good be from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 Jesús vio que Natanael se acercaba a él, y dijo de él: “¡He aquí un verdadero israelita, en quien no hay engaño!”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and he said about him, “Behold, an Israelite in whom truly there is no deceit.”
48 Natanael le dijo: “¿De qué me conoces?” Jesús le respondió: “Antes de que Felipe te llamara, cuando estabas debajo de la higuera, te vi”.
Nathanael said to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus responded and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Natanael le respondió: “¡Rabí, tú eres el Hijo de Dios! Tú eres el Rey de Israel”.
Nathanael answered him and said: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.”
50 Jesús le respondió: “¿Porque te he dicho que te he visto debajo de la higuera, crees? Verás cosas más grandes que éstas”.
Jesus responded and said to him: “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe. Greater things than these, you will see.”
51 Le dijo: “Te aseguro que de aquí en adelante veréis el cielo abierto y a los ángeles de Dios subiendo y bajando sobre el Hijo del Hombre.”
And he said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the Angels of God ascending and descending over the Son of man.”
