1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1Tangsuek naah Lok to oh, to Lok loe Sithaw hoi nawnto oh, Lok loe Sithaw ni.
2He was with God in the beginning.
2Lok loe tangsuek na hoiah boeh ni Sithaw hoi nawnto oh.
3Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.
3Anih mah hmuennawk boih to sak; anih ai ah sak ih hmuen tidoeh om ai.
4In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
4Anih thungah hinghaih oh; to hinghaih loe kami han aanghaih ah oh.
5The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
5Aanghaih loe kaving thungah aang; toe kaving mah anih to panoek ai.
6There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.
6Sithaw khae hoi patoeh ih kami maeto oh; anih ih ahmin loe Johan.
7He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.
7Anih rang hoiah kaminawk boih mah tanghaih tawnh o thai hanah, anih loe hnukung maeto ah oh moe, aanghaih hnukung ah oh hanah angzoh.
8He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
8Anih loe to Aanghaih to na ai ni, toe to Aanghaih hnukung ah oh han ih ni patoeh.
9The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.
9To Aanghaih loe long nuiah angzo kaminawk boih aanghaih paekkung, Aanghaih tangtang ah oh.
10He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.
10Anih loe long ah oh, long loe Anih mah ni sak, toe long mah Anih to panoek ai.
11He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
11Anih loe Angmah kaminawk khaeah angzoh, toe Angmah ih kaminawk mah Anih to talawk o ai.
12But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—
12Toe Anih talawk kaminawk hoi Anih ih ahmin tang kaminawk khaeah, Sithaw caa ah angcoeng thaihaih to a paek:
13children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
13to caanawk loe athii, taksa hoi kami koehhaih baktiah tapen ai, Sithaw koehhaih baktiah tapen kami ah ni oh o.
14The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
14Lok loe takpum ah angcoeng, aicae salakah oh moe, tahmenhaih hoi loktang hoiah koi (Ampa mah maeto khue tawnh ih lensawkhaih,) a lensawkhaih to a hnuk o boeh.
15John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”
15Johan mah, Ka hnukah angzo kami loe kai tapen ai naah oh boeh, kai pongah len kue, tiah ka thuih ih lok loe Anih thuih koehhaih ih ni, tiah anih kawng to thuih.
16From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.
16Anih akoephaih hoi tahmenhaih loe aicae boih mah hnuk o.
17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
17Kaalok loe Mosi khaeah paek, toe tahmenhaih hoi loktang loe Jesu Kri rang hoiah ni angzoh.
18No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.
18Mi mah doeh Sithaw to hnu vai ai, toe Ampa ih saoek ah kaom, maeto khue tawnh ih, Capa mah Anih to amtuengsak boeh.
19And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
19Jerusalem ih Judahnawk mah, Nang loe mi aa? tiah dueng hanah qaimanawk hoi Levinawk to anih khaeah patoeh naah, Johan mah hae tiah thuih.
20He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”
20Anih loe angphat ai ah kai loe Kri na ai ni, tiah thuih.
21“Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
21Nihcae mah anih khaeah, to tih nahaeloe nang loe mi aa? Elijah maw? tiah dueng o. Anih mah, Kai loe Elijah na ai, tiah a naa. Nang loe Tahmaa maw? tiah dueng o. Anih mah, Kai loe tahmaa na ai ni, tiah a naa.
22So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
22Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Kaicae patoeh kaminawk khaeah ka thuih pae o hanah nang loe mi aa, nangmah hoi nangmah to kawbangmaw na thuih? tiah a naa o.
23John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
23Anih mah, Tahmaa Isaiah mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Kai loe Angraeng ih loklam to patoengh oh, tiah praezaek ah kahang kami ni, tiah a naa.
24Then the Pharisees who had been sent
24Nihcae loe Farasinawk mah ptoeh ih kami ah oh o.
25asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
25Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Kri na ai, Elijah doeh na ai, Tahmaa doeh na ai to mah, tih han ih tuinuemhaih na paek loe? tiah dueng o.
26“I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
26Johan mah nihcae khaeah, Kai loe tui hoiah ni tuinuemhaih to ka paek: toe nangcae salakah kaom na panoek o ai ih kami maeto angdoet;
27He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
27Anih loe ka hnukah angzoh, toe kai pongah len kue, kai loe anih ih khokpanai qui khram pae han mataeng doeh kam cuk ai, tiah a naa.
28All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
28Hae hmuennawk loe Johan mah tuinuem paekhaih, Bethany avang Jordan vapui yaeh ah sak.
29The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
29Khawnbangah loe angmah khaeah kangzo Jesu to Johan mah hnuk, To naah khenah, long zaehaih phawkung, Sithaw Tuucaa! tiah thuih.
30This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’
30Anih loe kai tapen ai naah oh boeh, ka hnukah angzo kami loe kai pongah len kue, tiah ka thuih ih kami loe, Anih hae ni.
31I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”
31Anih to ka panoek ai: Anih loe Israel kaminawk khaeah amtueng han koi kami ah oh pongah, tui hoiah tuinuemhaih to ka paek, tiah a naa.
32Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.
32Johan mah, Pahuu baktiah van hoiah anghum tathuk, Anih nuiah kacuk, Muithla to ka hnuk, tiah thuih.
33I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
33Anih to ka panoek ai: toe tui hoi tuinuem hanah kai patoehkung mah kai khaeah, Anih nuiah kacuk, anghum tathuk Muithla to na hnuk nahaeloe, Anih loe Kacai Muithla hoi tuinuem ih kami ah ni oh, tiah ang thuih.
34I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
34Ka hnuk ih baktiah hae kami loe Sithaw Capa ni, tiah ka taphong boeh, tiah thuih.
35The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
35Khawnbangah Johan loe a hnukbang hnik hoi nawnto angdoet;
36When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
36loklam ah kacaeh Jesu to a hnuk naah, Khenah, Sithaw Tuucaa! tiah thuih.
37And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
37To lok to a hnukbang hnik mah thaih hoi naah, Jesu hnukah bang hoi ving.
38Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”
38Anih hnukah bang kami hnik to Jesu mah hnuk naah, angqoi moe, nihnik khaeah, Timaw na pakrong hoi? tiah a naa. Nihnik mah anih khaeah, Rabbi, (Patukkung, tiah thuih koehhaih ih ni) naa ah maw na oh? tiah a naa hoi.
39“Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
39Anih mah nihnik khaeah, Angzoh loe, khen hoih, tiah a naa. Nihnik loe caeh hoi moe, anih ohhaih ahmuen to khet hoi, to na ni loe Anih hoi nawnto oh hoi: to nathuem ah atue hato phak tom boeh.
40Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.
40Johan mah thuih ih lok thaih, Anih hnukah bang kami hnik thung ih maeto loe, Simon Piter ih amnawk Andru ni.
41He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).
41Andru loe amya Simon to pakrong hamloe moe, anih khaeah, Messiah (Kri, tiah thuih koehhaih ih ni) to ka hnuk o boeh, tiah a naa.
42Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).
42Anih mah amya to Jesu khaeah caeh haih. Jesu mah anih to khet moe, Nang loe Jona capa Simon: Cepha (thlung, tiah thuih koehhaih ih ni,) tiah kawk tih boeh, tiah a naa.
43The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”
43Jesu loe khawnbangah Kalili ah caeh han amsak, Philip to a hnuk naah anih khaeah, Ka hnukah bangah, tiah a naa.
44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
44Philip loe Andru hoi Piter baktih toengah Bethsaida vangpui ih kami ah oh.
45Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
45Philip mah Nathanael to hnuk naah anih khaeah, Kaicae loe Mosi ih kaalok hoi tahmaanawk mah tarik ih, Joseph capa, Nazareth Jesu to ka hnuk o boeh, tiah a naa.
46“Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
46Nathanael mah anih khaeah, Nazareth hoiah hmuen kahoih tacawt thai tih maw? tiah a naa. Philip mah anih khaeah, Angzoh loe khen ah, tiah a naa.
47When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”
47Philip khaeah kangzo Nathanael to Jesu mah hnuk naah, anih khaeah, Khenah, alinghaih tawn ai, Israel kami tangtang! tiah a naa.
48“How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
48Nathanael mah anih khaeah, Natuek naah maw kai nang panoek loe? tiah a naa. Jesu mah anih khaeah, Philip mah na kawk ai vop, thaiduet kung tlim ah na oh naah, kang hnuk boeh, tiah a naa.
49“Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
49To naah Nathanael mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, Nang loe Sithaw Capa, Israel Siangpahrang ni, tiah a naa.
50Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.”
50Jesu mah anih khaeah, Thaiduet kung tlim ah na oh naah, kang hnuk boeh, tiah kang naa pongah maw na tang? Hae pongah kalen kue hmuennawk to na hnu vop tih, tiah a naa.
51Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
51Jesu mah anih khaeah, Loktang to, loktang ah, Kang thuih o, Kam-ong van to na hnu o ueloe, Kami Capa nuiah daw tahang anghum tathuk Sithaw ih van kaminawk to na hnu o tih, tiah a naa.
