¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

¹Anda gor sas E Vorba, ai E Vorba sas le Devlesa, ai E Vorba sas O Del.

²The same was in the beginning with God.

²Wo anda gor sas le Devlesa.

³All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

³Wo kerdia swako fielo, ai kanchi so kerdilo nas kerdo bi leste.

⁴In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

⁴Ande leste sas o traio, ai o traio sas e vediara le manushenge.

⁵And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

⁵E vediara strefial ando tuniariko, ai o tuniariko shoxar chi mudardia e vediara.

⁶There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

⁶Sas iek manush tradino katar O Del, lesko anav sas Iovano.

⁷The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

⁷Avilo o Iovano te phenel le manushenge pai vediara. Kashke savorhe te pachanape pala leste.

⁸He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

⁸O Iovano nas e vediara, numa wo sas tradino te phenel pai vediara.

⁹That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

⁹Kadia chachi vediara avel ande lumia te del vediara ka swako manush kai avela ande lumia.

¹⁰He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

¹⁰Wo sas ande lumia, ai e lumia sas kerdi pala leste numa e lumia chi zhanglia les.

¹¹He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

¹¹Wo avilo ka peske, ai leske chi premisarde les.

¹²But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

¹²Uni premisarde les ai pachaiepe ande leste; wo dia len e putiera te aven shave Devleske.

¹³Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

¹³Kodola kai arakhadile, na anda rat, chi andai voia le statoski, chi andai voia le manusheski, numa katar O Del.

¹⁴And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

¹⁴Ai E Vorba kerdile stato ai beshelas mashkar amende. Ame dikhliam lesko barimos, pherdo mishtimasa ai chachimasa, kadia sas o barimos le ieke Shavesko kai avilo katar O Dat.

¹⁵John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

¹⁵O Iovano phendia pa leste, phenelas, "Kado si kai phendem, 'Wo avela pala mande, numa wo si mai baro mandar, ke wo sas mai anglal arakhadilem.'"

¹⁶And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

¹⁶Ai ame savorhe liam anda lesko baro lashimos. Mishtimos pe mishtimos.

¹⁷For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

¹⁷Ke o zakono sas dino katar o Moses, numa o mishtimos ai o chachimos avilo katar O Jesus Kristo.

¹⁸No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

¹⁸Khonik shoxar chi dikhlia le Devles, ferdi o iek Shav kai si le Dadesa, ai wo si kai kerdia te zhanas les.

¹⁹And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

¹⁹Ai kodia si o ramomos le Iovanosko, le Zhiduvuria trade le bare rasha ai le Levituria andai Jerusalem te phushen les,

²⁰And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

²⁰"Tu kon san?" Ai wo phendias lenge ai chi garadia kanch, phenelas, "Chi sim O Kristo."

²¹And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

²¹Ai won phushen les, "Kon san tu, Tu san o Elijah?" ai wo phendia, "Chi sim!" Antunchi won phushle, "Tu san o profeto?" ai wo phendia, "Nichi."

²²Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

²²Porme phende leske, "Kon san tu? Te das atweto kodolenge kai tradine ame. So phenes pa tute, kon san?"

²³He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

²³O Iovano phendia, "Me sim o glaso kodoleske kai tsipil ande pusta, "Vorton o drom le Devlesko" sar phendia o Isaiah o profeto."

²⁴And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

²⁴Won kai sas tradine, sas anda le Farizeanuria.

²⁵And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

²⁵Ai mai phushle les, phenenas, "Antunchi, sostar boles te chi san e Messiah vai chi o Elijah, vai chi o profeto?"

²⁶John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

²⁶O Iovano dia le atweto, phenelas "Me bolav ando pai, numa mashkar tumende, si vari kon kai chi zhanen.

²⁷He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

²⁷Wo si kai avela pala mande, chi sim dosta lasho te phutrav le doria leske papuchenge."

²⁸These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

²⁸Kadala dieli kerdionas ando Bethany inchal o Jordan, kai o Iovano bolelas.

²⁹The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

²⁹Pe terharin o Iovano dikhlia O Jesus sar avelas leste, ai phendia, Dikh! O Bakriorho le Devlesko, kai lel e bezex le lumiako!

³⁰This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

³⁰Pa kado si kai phendem, "Pala mande avel iek manush kai si mai baro mandar, ke wo sas mai anglal mandar."

³¹And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

³¹Me chi zhanavas les; numa avilem te bolav le paiesa, kashke sai Israel te zhanel les."

³²And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

³²Porme o Iovano phendia, "Dikhlem O Swunto Duxo sar hulelas anda cheri sar iek gulumbo, ai beshlo pe leste.

³³And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

³³Ai chi zhanavas les, numa kodo kai tradia ma te bolav ando pai, phendia mange, "Pe kodo kai dikhesa O Swunto Duxo te hulela, ai te beshela pe leste, kodo si kai bolel le Swuntone Duxosa."

³⁴And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

³⁴Ai dikhlem, ai phenav tumenge ke wo si O Shav le Devlesko."

³⁵Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;

³⁵Pe terharin o Iovano mai sas pe kodo than duiensa anda leske disipluria.

³⁶And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

³⁶Kana dikhlias O Jesus nakhelas, wo phendia, "Katse si O Bakrorho le Devlesko!"

³⁷And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

³⁷Le dui disipluria ashunenas le vorbi kai phendia, ai linepe pala Jesus.

³⁸Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

³⁸Porme O Jesus boldinisailo ai dikhlia ke avenas pala leste, ai phushlia len, "So roden?" Ai won dine atweto, "Xazhainona, kai beshes?" (xazhainono znachil o manush kai sicharel).

³⁹He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

³⁹Phendia lenge, "Aven ai dikhen." Won avile ai dikhle kai beshelas, beshlo lesa kodo dies. Kodo sas pala miazutso karing le shtar chasuria.

⁴⁰One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

⁴⁰O Andre, phral le Simonosko Petri, sas iek andal dui manush kai ashundia so phendia o Iovano, ai liape pala Jesus.

⁴¹He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

⁴¹Strazo o Andre arakhlia peske phrales o Simon, ai phendia leske, "Arakhliam e Messiah,," (E vorba znachil "Kristo.")

⁴²And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

⁴²Ai o Andre angerdia o Simon karing O Jesus. Kana O Jesus dikhlia pe leste, phendia, "Tu san o Simon o shav le Iovanosko, te aves akhardo Cephas." O anav Cephas znachil Petri vai bax.

⁴³The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

⁴³Pe terharin O Jesus manglia te zhal ando them kai busholas Galilee. Wo arakhlia le Filipos, ai phendia leske, "Le tu pala mande." '

⁴⁴Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

⁴⁴O Filip sas anda foro, kai busholas Bethsaida, o foro kai beshle o Andre ai o Petri.

⁴⁵Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

⁴⁵O Filip arakhlia le Nathanael ai phendia leske, "Arakhliam kodoles kai o Moses ai le profeturia ramosarde ande klishka le zakonosko, wo si O Jesus andai Nazareth, o shav le Josefosko."

⁴⁶And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

⁴⁶O Nathanael phendia leske, "Sai avel anda Nazareth vari so lasho?" O Filip phendia leske, "Aidi ai Dikh."

⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

⁴⁷O Jesus dikhlia o Nathanael avelas leste, ai phenel pa leste, "Dikh! Iek chacho Zhidovo. Nai chi iek atsaimos ande leste!"

⁴⁸Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

⁴⁸O Nathanael phendia leske, "Katar zhanes ma tu?" O Jesus phendia leske, "Mai anglal o Filip akhardia tu, kana sanas telal pruing le figenge, Me dikhlem tu."

⁴⁹Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

⁴⁹Porme o Nathanael phendia leske, "Gazda, tu san O Shav le Devlesko. Tu san O Amperato le Zhidovongo."

⁵⁰Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

⁵⁰O Jesus phendia leske, "Anda kodia ke phendem tuke, "Dikhlem tu telai pruing le figenge, tu pachas? Numa dikhesa mai bare dieli sar kadala."

⁵¹And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

⁵¹Phenel leske, Chachimasa, chachimasa, phenav tumenge chachimos, dikhena o cheri phuterdiol, ai le angeluria le Devleske anklen ai hulen tele po Shav le Manushesko.
