¹Er penn-kentañ e oa ar Ger, hag ar Ger a oa gant Doue, hag ar Ger a oa Doue.

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

²Er penn-kentañ e oa gant Doue.

²*He* was in the beginning with God.

³An holl draoù a zo bet graet drezañ, ha netra eus ar pezh a zo bet graet, n'eo bet graet heptañ.

³All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being.

⁴Ennañ e oa ar vuhez, hag ar vuhez a oa sklêrijenn an dud.

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

⁵Ar sklêrijenn he deus lugernet en deñvalijenn, hag an deñvalijenn n'he deus ket he degemeret.

⁵And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.

⁶Bez' e voe un den, anvet Yann, kaset a-berzh Doue.

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

⁷Dont a reas da vezañ test, da reiñ testeni d'ar sklêrijenn, evit ma kredje an holl drezañ.

⁷He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him.

⁸Ne oa ket ar sklêrijenn, met kaset e oa da reiñ testeni d'ar sklêrijenn.

⁸*He* was not the light, but that he might witness concerning the light.

⁹Ar sklêrijenn wirion, an hini a sklaera pep den, a oa o tont er bed.

⁹The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.

¹⁰Er bed e oa, hag ar bed a zo bet graet gantañ; met ar bed n'en deus ket e anavezet.

¹⁰He was in the world, and the world had [its] being through him, and the world knew him not.

¹¹Deuet eo da gavout e re, hag e re n'o eus ket e zegemeret.

¹¹He came to his own, and his own received him not;

¹²Met d'an holl re o deus e zegemeret, en deus roet an droed da vezañ graet bugale da Zoue, da c'houzout eo, d'an holl re a gred en e anv,

¹²but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to be children of God, to those that believe on his name;

¹³ar re n'int ket bet ganet eus ar gwad, nag eus bolontez ar c'hig, nag eus bolontez an den, met eus Doue.

¹³who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of God.

¹⁴Hag ar Ger a zo bet graet kig, hag en deus chomet en hon touez, leun a c'hras hag a wirionez, ha gwelet hon eus e c'hloar, ur gloar evel hini Mab nemetañ an Tad.

¹⁴And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;

¹⁵Yann a roas testeni dezhañ, pa grias o lavarout: Hemañ eo an hini a lavaren diwar e benn: An hini a zeu war va lerc'h a zo dreiston, abalamour ma oa kentoc'h egedon.

¹⁵(John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me;)

¹⁶Ni holl hon eus resevet eus e leunder, ha gras evit gras.

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

¹⁷Rak al lezenn a zo bet roet dre Voizez, an drugarez hag ar wirionez a zo deuet dre Jezuz-Krist.

¹⁷For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ.

¹⁸Den n'en deus biskoazh gwelet Doue; ar Mab nemetañ a zo en askre an Tad, eo an hini en deus graet e anavezout.

¹⁸No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, *he* hath declared [him].

¹⁹Setu amañ testeni Yann, pa gasas ar Yuzevien eus Jeruzalem beleien ha levited da c'houlenn outañ: Piv out-te?

¹⁹And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou?

²⁰Disklêriañ a reas ha ne nac'has ket, disklêriañ a reas: N'on ket-me ar C'hrist.

²⁰And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am not the Christ.

²¹Hag e c'houlennjont outañ: Piv out eta? Bez' out Elia? Eñ a lavaras: N'on ket. Bez' out ar profed? Eñ a respontas: Nann.

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

²²Int a lavaras eta dezhañ: Piv out-te? Evit ma roimp respont d'ar re o deus hon degaset. Petra a lavarez ac'hanout da-unan?

²²They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

²³Eñ a lavaras: Me eo mouezh an hini a gri el lec'h distro: Plaenit hent an Aotrou, evel m'en deus lavaret ar profed Izaia.

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

²⁴Ar re a oa bet kaset a oa farizianed.

²⁴And they were sent from among the Pharisees.

²⁵Goulenn a rejont outañ: Perak e vadezez, ma n'out nag ar C'hrist, nag Elia, nag ar profed?

²⁵And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?

²⁶Yann a respontas hag a lavaras dezho: Evidon-me, me a vadez en dour; met unan bennak a zo en ho touez, ha n'anavezit ket anezhañ.

²⁶John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,

²⁷Hennezh eo an hini a zeu war va lerc'h, [hag a zo dreiston]; ha n'on ket dellezek da zieren korreenn e votoù.

²⁷he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose.

²⁸Kement-mañ a c'hoarvezas e Betania, en tu all d'ar Jordan, e-lec'h ma vadeze Yann.

²⁸These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.

²⁹An deiz war-lerc'h, Yann a welas Jezuz o tont d'e gavout, hag a lavaras: Setu Oan Doue, an hini a lam pec'hed ar bed.

²⁹On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

³⁰Eñ eo an hini e lavaren diwar e benn: Dont a ra war va lerc'h un den hag a zo dreiston, rak a-raok din e oa.

³⁰He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he *was* before me;

³¹Evidon-me, n'anavezen ket anezhañ; met deuet on da vadeziñ en dour, evit ma vo disklêriet da Israel.

³¹and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.

³²Yann a roas c'hoazh an testeni-mañ, o lavarout: Gwelet em eus ar Spered o tiskenn eus an neñv evel ur goulm, hag o tont warnañ.

³²And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.

³³Evidon-me, n'anavezen ket anezhañ; met an hini en deus va c'haset da vadeziñ en dour, en deus lavaret din: An hini a weli ar Spered o tiskenn hag o chom warnañ, hennezh eo an hini a vadez er Spered-Santel.

³³And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, *he* said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with [the] Holy Spirit.

³⁴Hag em eus gwelet, hag em eus roet testeni eo eñ Mab Doue.

³⁴And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.

³⁵An deiz war-lerc'h, Yann a oa c'hoazh eno gant daou eus e ziskibien,

³⁵Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples.

³⁶hag o welout Jezuz a valee, e lavaras: Setu Oan Doue.

³⁶And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.

³⁷An daou ziskibl, o vezañ e glevet o komz evel-se, a heulias Jezuz.

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

³⁸Jezuz o vezañ distroet hag o welout e heulient anezhañ, a lavaras dezho: Petra a glaskit? Respont a rejont dezhañ: Rabbi (da lavarout eo Mestr), pelec'h e chomez?

³⁸But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And *they* said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou?

³⁹Eñ a lavaras dezho: Deuit ha gwelit. Mont a rejont, hag e weljont pelec'h e chome, hag e chomjont gantañ an deiz-se, rak war-dro an dekvet eur e oa.

³⁹He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

⁴⁰Andrev, breur Simon-Pêr, a oa unan eus an daou o devoa klevet ar pezh en devoa lavaret Yann, hag o devoa heuliet Jezuz.

⁴⁰Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard [this] from John and followed him.

⁴¹Andrev a gavas da gentañ Simon e vreur, hag a lavaras dezhañ: Ni hon eus kavet ar Mesiaz (da lavarout eo ar C'hrist, an Eouliet).

⁴¹He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).

⁴²Hag e tegasas anezhañ da Jezuz. Jezuz, o vezañ sellet outañ, a lavaras dezhañ: Te eo Simon, mab Jona; te a vo galvet Kefaz (da lavarout eo Pêr).

⁴²And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).

⁴³An deiz war-lerc'h, Jezuz a c'hoantaas mont e Galilea, hag e kavas Filip; lavarout a reas dezhañ: Heul ac'hanon.

⁴³On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.

⁴⁴Filip a oa eus Betsaida, kêr Andrev ha Pêr.

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

⁴⁵Filip a gavas Natanael hag a lavaras dezhañ: Kavet hon eus an hini a zo bet skrivet diwar e benn gant Moizez el lezenn ha gant ar brofeded: Jezuz, mab Jozef, eus Nazared.

⁴⁵Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.

⁴⁶Natanael a lavaras dezhañ: Hag eus Nazared e c'hell dont un dra vat bennak? Filip a lavaras dezhañ: Deus ha gwel.

⁴⁶And Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.

⁴⁷Jezuz, o welout Natanael o tont d'e gavout, a lavaras diwar e benn: Setu ur gwir Israelad, ha n'eus ket a droidell ennañ.

⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold [one] truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile.

⁴⁸Natanael a lavaras dezhañ: A-belec'h ec'h anavezez ac'hanon? Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: A-raok ma c'halvas Filip ac'hanout, pa oas dindan ar wezenn-fiez, e welen ac'hanout.

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

⁴⁹Natanael a respontas dezhañ: Mestr, te eo Mab Doue, te eo roue Israel.

⁴⁹Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.

⁵⁰Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: Abalamour ma em eus lavaret dit em boa da welet dindan ar wezenn-fiez, e kredez; te a welo traoù brasoc'h eget ar re-mañ.

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

⁵¹Lavarout a reas ivez dezhañ: E gwirionez, e gwirionez, me a lavar deoc'h: A-vremañ c'hwi a welo an neñv digor, hag aeled Doue o pignat hag o tiskenn a-us da Vab an den.

⁵¹And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
