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. Without him was not anything made that has 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.

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.

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 as a witness, that he might testify about 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 was sent that he might testify about the light.

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

⁹The true light that enlightens everyone was 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 didn’t recognize him.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.’”

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.'"

¹⁶From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

²¹They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” 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 to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

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,’ Isaiah 40:3 as Isaiah the prophet said.”

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

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

²⁴Won kai sas tradine, sas anda le Farizeanuria.

²⁵They asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor 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, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.

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

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

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.

²⁹The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes 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 comes a man who is preferred 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."

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

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

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

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

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.’

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?”

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 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.

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 who heard John, 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 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”. ).

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

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).

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 next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to 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 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.”

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."

⁴⁶Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to 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 said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”

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

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.”

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, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”

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

⁵⁰Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will 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."

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.”

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