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

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

²Wo anda gor sas le Devlesa.

²this one was in the beginning with God;

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

³all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened.

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

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

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

⁵and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.

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

⁶There came a man — having been sent from God — whose name [is] John,

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

⁷this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;

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

⁸that one was not the Light, but — that he might testify about the Light.

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

⁹He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;

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

¹⁰in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:

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

¹¹to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;

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

¹²but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God — to those believing in his name,

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

¹³who — not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but — of God were begotten.

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.

¹⁴And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

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.'"

¹⁵John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, `This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;`

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

¹⁶and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;

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

¹⁷for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;

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

¹⁸God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father — he did declare.

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

¹⁹And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, `Who art thou?`

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

²⁰and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed — `I am not the Christ.`

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."

²¹And they questioned him, `What then? Elijah art thou?` and he saith, `I am not.` — `The prophet art thou?` and he answered, `No.`

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

²²They said then to him, `Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those sending us? what dost thou say concerning thyself?`

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

²³He said, `I [am] a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.`

²⁴Won kai sas tradine, sas anda le Farizeanuria.

²⁴And those sent were of the Pharisees,

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

²⁵and they questioned him and said to him, `Why, then, dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?`

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

²⁶John answered them, saying, `I baptize with water, but in midst of you he hath stood whom ye have not known, this one it is who is coming after me, who hath been before me,

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

²⁷of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the cord of his sandal.`

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

²⁸These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing,

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

²⁹on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;

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

³⁰this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me:

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

³¹and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing.

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

³²And John testified, saying — `I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him;

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."

³³and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayst see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;

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

³⁴and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.`

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

³⁵On the morrow, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,

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

³⁶and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God;`

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

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

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).

³⁸And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, saith to them, `What seek ye?` and they said to them, `Rabbi, (which is, being interpreted, Teacher,) where remainest thou?`

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

³⁹He saith to them, `Come and see;` they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the hour was about the tenth.

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

⁴⁰Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed him;

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

⁴¹this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith to him, `We have found the Messiah,` (which is, being interpreted, The Anointed,)

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.

⁴²and he brought him unto Jesus: and having looked upon him, Jesus saith, `Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas,` (which is interpreted, A rock.)

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

⁴³On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, `Be following me.`

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

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

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."

⁴⁵Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, `Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who [is] from Nazareth;`

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

⁴⁶and Nathanael said to him, `Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?` Philip said to him, `Come and see.`

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

⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, `Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;`

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."

⁴⁸Nathanael saith to him, `Whence me dost thou know?` Jesus answered and said to him, `Before Philip`s calling thee — thou being under the fig-tree — I saw thee.`

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

⁴⁹Nathanael answered and saith to him, `Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.`

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

⁵⁰Jesus answered and said to him, `Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou dost believe; greater things than these thou shalt see;`

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

⁵¹and he saith to him, `Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.`
