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 through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been 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 the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.

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

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

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

⁷The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.

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

⁸He was not the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light.

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

⁹There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, coming 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 through 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 they that were his own received him not.

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

¹²But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children 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.

¹³who 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 became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from 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 beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become 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.'"

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

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

¹⁷For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through 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, who 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 witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites 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; and he 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 Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the 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."

²²They said therefore 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 Isaiah the prophet.

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 had been sent from the Pharisees.

²⁴Won kai sas tradine, sas anda le Farizeanuria.

²⁵And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the 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 in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,

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

²⁷[even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe 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 Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

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

²⁹On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that 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 who is become 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, for this cause came I baptizing in water.

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

³²And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; 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 in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.

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 have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.

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

³⁵Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;

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

³⁶and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and 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.

³⁸And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abideth 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 ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: 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 that 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 findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

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

⁴²He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).

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.

⁴³On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus 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 from Bethsaida, of 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, wrote, 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 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 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 him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art 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 underneath 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, Ye shall see the heaven opened, 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.
