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

¹Tamin'ny voalohany ny Teny, ary ny Teny tao amin'Andriamanitra, ary ny Teny dia Andriamanitra.

²The same was in the beginning with God.

²Izy dia tao amin'Andriamanitra tamin'ny voalohany.

³All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.

³Izy no nahariana ny zavatra rehetra; ary raha tsy Izy dia tsy nisy nahariana izao zavatra ary izao, na dia iray aza.

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

⁴Izy no nisiam-piainana; ary ny fiainana no fanazavana ny olona.

⁵The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome The word translated “overcome” (katelaben) can also be translated “comprehended.” It refers to getting a grip on an enemy to defeat him. it.

⁵Ary ny mazava dia mamirapiratra ao amin'ny maizina; fa ny maizina tsy nandray azy. [Na: Tsy mahasakana azy]

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

⁶Nisy lehilahy nirahin'Andriamanitra, Jaona no anarany.

⁷The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

⁷Izy tonga ho vavolombelona hanambara ny Mazava, mba hinoan'ny olona rehetra noho ny teniny.

⁸He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

⁸Tsy izy anefa no Ilay Mazava, fa tonga ho vavolombelona hanambara ny Mazava ihany izy.

⁹The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

⁹Tao ny tena Mazava Izay mahazava ny olona rehetra tonga amin'izao tontolo izao. [Na: Izy no tena Mazava] [Na: Ny Mazava marina, Izay mahazava ny olona rehetra, dia tonga amin'izao tontolo izao]

¹⁰He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.

¹⁰Teo amin'izao tontolo izao Izy, ary Izy no nanaovana izao tontolo izao, nefa izao tontolo izao tsy nahalala Azy.

¹¹He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.

¹¹Tonga tany amin'ny Azy Izy, fa ny Azy tsy nandray Azy.

¹²But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:

¹²Fa izay rehetra nandray Azy dia nomeny hery ho tonga zanak'Andriamanitra, dia izay mino ny anarany, [Na: anarana, na fahefana]

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

¹³dia ireo izay tsy nateraky ny rà, na ny sitrapon'ny nofo, na ny sitrapon'ny olona, fa naterak'Andriamanitra.

¹⁴The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

¹⁴Ary ny Teny dia tonga nofo ka nonina tamintsika; ary hitanay ny voninahiny, dia voninahitra miendrika ho an'ny Lahitokana avy tamin'ny Ray, sady feno fahasoavana sy fahamarinana. [Gr. nitoetra an-day]

¹⁵John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”

¹⁵Jaona nanambara Azy ka niantso hoe: Izy Ilay nolazaiko hoe: Izay avy

¹⁶From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

¹⁶Fa tamin'ny fahafenoany no nandraisantsika rehetra, dia fahasoavana anampy fahasoavana.

¹⁷For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

¹⁷Fa ny lalàna dia nomena tamin'ny alalan'i Mosesy; [fa] ny fahasoavana sy ny fahamarinana kosa dia tonga tamin'ny alalan'i Jesosy Kristy.

¹⁸No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, NU reads “God” who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.

¹⁸Tsy nisy nahita an'Andriamanitra na oviana na oviana ; fa ny Zanakalahy Tokana, Izay ao an-tratran'ny Ray, Izy no nanambara [Azy].

¹⁹This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

¹⁹Ary izao no nambaran'i Jaona, raha ny Jiosy naniraka mpisorona sy Levita avy tany Jerosalema hankany aminy mba hanontany azy hoe: Iza moa ianao?

²⁰He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”

²⁰Ary nilaza marina izy ka tsy nandà, fa hoy ny filàzany: Tsy izaho no Kristy.

²¹They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”

²¹Ary izy ireo nanontany azy hoe: Ahoana ary? Elia va ianao? Fa hoy izy: Tsy izy aho. Ilay Mpaminany va ianao? Fa izy namaly hoe: Tsia.

²²They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

²²Dia hoy ireo taminy: Iza ary ianao? mba hitondranay valiny ho any amin'izay naniraka anay. Lazainao ho iza moa ny tenanao?

²³He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ Isaiah 40:3 as Isaiah the prophet said.”

²³Dia hoy izy: Izaho dia feon'ny miantso mafy any an-efitra hoe: Ataovy mahitsy ny lalan'i Jehovah (Isa. 40. 3), araka izay nolazain'Isaia mpaminany.

²⁴The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.

²⁴Ary iraka avy tamin'ny Fariseo ireo.

²⁵They asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”

²⁵Dia nanontany azy ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ary ianao no manao batisa raha tsy ianao no Kristy, na Elia, na Ilay Mpaminany?

²⁶John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.

²⁶Jaona namaly azy ka nanao hoe: Izaho manao batisa amin'ny rano; fa eto aminareo misy Anankiray Izay tsy fantatrareo,

²⁷He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”

²⁷dia Ilay avy ao aoriako, ary tsy miendrika hamaha ny fehin-kapany aza aho.

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

²⁸Izany zavatra izany dia natao tany Betania any an-dafin'i Jordana, izay nanaovan'i Jaona batisa. [Na: Betabara]

²⁹The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

²⁹Nony ampitso dia nahita an'i Jesosy avy manatona azy Jaona, ka dia hoy izy: Indro ny Zanak'ondrin'Andriamanitra, Izay manaisotra ny fahotan'izao tontolo izao! [Na: mitondra]

³⁰This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’

³⁰Izy Ilay nolazaiko hoe: Misy Lehilahy avy ao aoriako Izay efa tonga eo alohako, satria talohako Izy.

³¹I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel.”

³¹Ary izaho tsy nahalala Azy; fa mba haseho amin'ny Isiraely Izy, izany no nihaviako manao batisa amin'ny rano.

³²John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

³²Ary Jaona nanambara ka nanao hoe: Izaho nahita ny Fanahy midina avy any an-danitra tahaka ny voro-mailala ka nitoetra teo amboniny.

³³I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’

³³Ary izaho tsy nahalala Azy; fa Izay naniraka ahy hanao batisa amin'ny rano no nilaza tamiko hoe: Izay ho hitanao idinan'ny Fanahy sy itoerany, dia Izy no Mpanao batisa amin'ny Fanahy Masina.

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

³⁴Ary nahita aho, ka dia nanambara fa Izy no Zanak'Andriamanitra.

³⁵Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,

³⁵Nony ampitson'iny indray dia nijanona Jaona sy ny mpianany roa lahy;

³⁶and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

³⁶ary nijery an'i Jesosy nitsangantsangana izy ka nanao hoe: Indro ny Zanak'ondrin'Andriamanitra!

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

³⁷Ary ireo mpianatra roa lahy ireo, rehefa nandre azy niteny, dia nanaraka an'i Jesosy.

³⁸Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”

³⁸Ary Jesosy nitodika ka nahita azy manaraka, dia nanao taminy hoe: Inona no tadiavinareo? Ary hoy izy roa lahy taminy: Raby (izay atao hoe, raha adika, Mpampianatra ô, aiza Hianao no mitoetra?

³⁹He said to them, “Come, and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour. 4:00 PM.

³⁹Hoy Izy taminy: Avia, fa ho hitanareo. Koa dia nandeha izy ka nahita izay nitoerany ary nitoetra teo aminy tamin'izany andro izany; ary efa tokony ho ora fahafolo tamin'izay.

⁴⁰One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

⁴⁰Andrea, rahalahin'i Simona Petera, no anankiray tamin'izy roa lahy, izay nandre ny tenin'i Jaona ka nanaraka an'i Jesosy.

⁴¹He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ “Messiah” (Hebrew) and “Christ” (Greek) both mean “Anointed One”. ).

⁴¹Izy no nahita an'i Simona rahalahiny aloha, dia hoy izy taminy: Efa nahita ny Mesia izahay (izay atso hoe, raha adika, ny Kristy).

⁴²He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter).

⁴²Dia nitondra azy ho any amin'i Jesosy izy. Ary nony nijery azy Jesosy, dia hoy Izy: Hianao no Simona, zanak'i Jaona; ianao hatao hoe Kefasy (izay atao hoe, raha adika, Petera) [Petera = vato]

⁴³On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”

⁴³Nony ampitso dia te-hiala ho any Galilia Jesosy, ary nahita an'i Filipo Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Manaraha Ahy.

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

⁴⁴Ary Filipo dia avy any Betsaida, tanànan'i Andrea sy Petera.

⁴⁵Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

⁴⁵Filipo kosa nahita an'i Natanaela ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa hitanay Ilay nosoratan'i Mosesy tao amin'ny lalàna, sy nosoratan'ny mpaminany, dia Jesosy, zanak'i Josefa, avy any Nazareta.

⁴⁶Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

⁴⁶Ary hoy Natanaela taminy: Moa mba misy zava-tsoa va avy any Nazareta? Dia hoy Filipo taminy: Andeha hizaha.

⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”

⁴⁷Jesosy nahita an'i Natanaela avy manatona Azy, dia nilaza azy hoe: Indro ny tena Isiraelita tsy misy fitaka.

⁴⁸Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

⁴⁸Hoy Natanaela taminy: Ahoana no ahafantaranao ahy? Dia namaly Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Fony tsy mbola niantso anao Filipo, dia hitako teo ambanin'ny aviavy ianao. [aviavimbazaha]

⁴⁹Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”

⁴⁹Dia namaly Natanaela ka nanao hoe: Raby ô, Hianao no Zanak'Andriamanitra; Hianao no Mpanjakan'ny Isiraely.

⁵⁰Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”

⁵⁰Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Moa ny nilazako taminao va fa hitako teo ambanin'ny aviavy ianao no inoanao? Hahita zavatra lehibe noho izany ianao.Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Ho hitanareo ny lanitra misokatra sy ny anjelin'Andriamanitra miakatra sy midina eo ambonin'ny Zanak'olona.

⁵¹He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

⁵¹Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Ho hitanareo ny lanitra misokatra sy ny anjelin'Andriamanitra miakatra sy midina eo ambonin'ny Zanak'olona.
