¹Alguses oli Sõna ja Sõna oli Jumala juures ja Sõna oli Jumal.

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

²Seesama oli alguses Jumala juures.

²*He* was in the beginning with God.

³Kõik on tekkinud tema läbi ja ilma temata ei ole tekkinud midagi. Mis on tekkinud

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

⁴tema kaudu, oli elu, ja elu oli inimeste valgus.

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

⁵Ja valgus paistab pimeduses, ja pimedus ei ole seda omaks võtnud.

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

⁶Oli Jumala läkitatud mees, nimega Johannes,

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

⁷see pidi tunnistust andma, tunnistama valgusest, et kõik hakkaksid tema kaudu uskuma.

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

⁸Tema ise ei olnud valgus, vaid ta pidi tunnistama valgusest.

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

⁹Tõeline valgus, mis valgustab iga inimest, oli maailma tulemas.

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

¹⁰Ta oli maailmas, ja maailm on tekkinud tema läbi, ja maailm ei tundnud teda ära.

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

¹¹Ta tuli omade keskele, ent omad ei võtnud teda vastu.

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

¹²Aga kõigile, kes tema vastu võtsid, andis ta meelevalla saada Jumala lasteks, neile, kes usuvad tema nimesse,

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

¹³kes ei ole sündinud verest, ei liha tahtest, ei mehe tahtest, vaid Jumalast.

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

¹⁴Ja Sõna sai lihaks ja elas meie keskel, ja me nägime tema kirkust nagu Isast Ainusündinu kirkust, täis armu ja tõde.

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;

¹⁵Johannes tunnistas temast ja hüüdis valjusti: 'Tema ongi see, kelle kohta mina ütlesin: See, kes tuleb pärast mind, on olnud minu eel, sest tema oli enne kui mina.'

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;)

¹⁶Jah, meie kõik oleme võtnud tema täiusest, ja armu armu peale.

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

¹⁷Seadus on ju antud Moosese kaudu, arm ja tõde aga tulnud Jeesuse Kristuse kaudu.

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

¹⁸Keegi ei ole iialgi näinud Jumalat. Ainusündinud Poeg, kes on Isa rinna najal, tema on meile teate toonud.

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

¹⁹Ja see on Johannese tunnistus, kui juudid läkitasid tema juurde Jeruusalemmast preestreid ja leviite küsima: 'Kes sina oled?'

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?

²⁰Tema tunnistas ega salanud, vaid tunnistas: 'Mina ei ole Messias.'

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

²¹Ja nad küsisid temalt: 'Kes siis? Kas sa oled Eelija?' Ja ta ütles: 'Ei ole.' - 'Kas sa oled prohvet?' Aga tema vastas: 'Ei.'

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

²²Siis nad ütlesid talle: 'Kes sa siis oled? Me peame andma vastuse neile, kes meid läkitasid. Kelleks sa ennast nimetad?'

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

²³Ta lausus: 'Mina olen hüüdja hääl kõrbes: Tehke tasaseks Issanda tee, nõnda nagu prohvet Jesaja on ütelnud.'

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

²⁴Aga läkitatuid oli ka variseride seast.

²⁴And they were sent from among the Pharisees.

²⁵Ja need küsisid Johanneselt: 'Kui sa ei ole Messias ega Eelija ega prohvet, miks sa siis ristid?'

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

²⁶Tema vastas neile: 'Mina ristin veega, aga teie keskel, kuigi teie teda ei tea, seisab juba see,

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

²⁷kes tuleb pärast mind. Mina ei ole väärt tema jalatsipaelagi lahti päästma.'

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

²⁸See juhtus Betaanias, sealpool Jordanit, kus Johannes oli ristimas.

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

²⁹Järgmisel päeval nägi Johannes Jeesust enda juurde tulevat ja ütles: 'Vaata, see on Jumala Tall, kes kannab ära maailma patu.

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

³⁰Tema ongi see, kelle kohta ma ütlesin: Pärast mind tuleb mees, kes on olnud minu eel, sest tema oli enne kui mina.

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

³¹Minagi ei teadnud, kes ta on, kuid ma olen tulnud ristima veega selleks, et tema saaks avalikuks Iisraelile.'

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

³²Ja Johannes tunnistas: 'Ma nägin Vaimu tuvina taevast laskuvat ja tema peale jäävat.

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

³³Minagi ei teadnud, kes ta on, kuid see, kes minu läkitas veega ristima, tema ütles mulle: Kelle peale sa näed Vaimu laskuvat ja tema peale jäävat, see ongi, kes ristib Püha Vaimuga.

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.

³⁴Ja ma olen näinud ja tunnistanud, et seesama on Jumala Poeg.'

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

³⁵Järgmisel päeval seisis Johannes jälle seal koos kahe oma jüngriga.

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

³⁶Kui Jeesus läks neist mööda, ütles Johannes talle otsa vaadates: 'Vaata, see on Jumala Tall.'

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

³⁷Ja mõlemad jüngrid kuulsid, mida ta ütles, ja läksid Jeesusega kaasa.

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

³⁸Aga Jeesus pöördus ümber ja nähes neid kaasa tulemas, küsis neilt: 'Mida te otsite?' Nemad ütlesid talle: 'Rabi,' - see on tõlkes 'Õpetaja' - 'kus sa oled öömajal?'

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?

³⁹Ta ütles neile: 'Tulge ja vaadake!' Nad tulid siis ja nägid, kus ta oli öömajal, ja jäidki sel päeval tema juurde. Oli umbes neljas tund pärast lõunat.

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.

⁴⁰Üks neist kahest, kes oli kuulnud, mida Johannes ütles, ja Jeesusega kaasa läinud, oli Andreas, Siimon Peetruse vend.

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

⁴¹Ta leidis esmalt oma venna Siimona ja ütles talle: 'Me oleme leidnud Messia!' - see on tõlkes 'Kristuse'.

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

⁴²Andreas viis venna Jeesuse juurde. Jeesus ütles tollele otsa vaadates: 'Sina oled Siimon, Johannese poeg, sind peab hüütama Keefaseks!' - see on tõlkes Peetruseks.

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).

⁴³Järgmisel päeval tahtis Jeesus minna Galileasse. Ja ta leidis Filippuse ja ütles talle: 'Järgne mulle!'

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

⁴⁴Filippus oli pärit Andrease ja Peetruse kodukülast Betsaidast.

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

⁴⁵Filippus leidis Naatanaeli ja ütles talle: 'Me oleme leidnud tema, kellest on kirjutanud Mooses Seaduses ja Prohvetid: Jeesuse, Joosepi poja Naatsaretist.'

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.

⁴⁶Ja Naatanael ütles talle: 'Mis võib küll Naatsaretist head tulla?' Filippus ütles talle: 'Tule ja vaata!'

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

⁴⁷Jeesus nägi Naatanaeli enda juurde tulevat ja ütles tema kohta: 'Ennäe, tõeline iisraeli mees, kelles ei ole valet.'

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

⁴⁸Naatanael küsis temalt: 'Kust sa mind tunned?' Jeesus vastas ja ütles talle: 'Ma nägin sind viigipuu all, enne kui Filippus sind hüüdis.'

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.

⁴⁹Naatanael ütles talle: 'Rabi, sina oled Jumala Poeg, sina oled Iisraeli kuningas!'

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

⁵⁰Jeesus vastas talle: 'Kas sa usud vaid seepärast, et ma ütlesin sulle, et nägin sind viigipuu all? Sa saad näha suuremaid asju kui need.'

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.

⁵¹Ja Jeesus ütles talle: 'Tõesti, tõesti, ma ütlen teile, te näete taevast avatuna ja Jumala ingleid astuvat üles ja alla Inimese Poja juurde.'

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.
