1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1Er penn-kentañ e oa ar Ger, hag ar Ger a oa gant Doue, hag ar Ger a oa Doue.
2The same was in the beginning with God.
2Er penn-kentañ e oa gant Doue.
3All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made.
3An holl draoù a zo bet graet drezañ, ha netra eus ar pezh a zo bet graet, n'eo bet graet heptañ.
4In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
4Ennañ e oa ar vuhez, hag ar vuhez a oa sklêrijenn an dud.
5And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
5Ar sklêrijenn he deus lugernet en deñvalijenn, hag an deñvalijenn n'he deus ket he degemeret.
6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
6Bez' e voe un den, anvet Yann, kaset a-berzh Doue.
7This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him.
7Dont a reas da vezañ test, da reiñ testeni d'ar sklêrijenn, evit ma kredje an holl drezañ.
8He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light.
8Ne oa ket ar sklêrijenn, met kaset e oa da reiñ testeni d'ar sklêrijenn.
9That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.
9Ar sklêrijenn wirion, an hini a sklaera pep den, a oa o tont er bed.
10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
10Er bed e oa, hag ar bed a zo bet graet gantañ; met ar bed n'en deus ket e anavezet.
11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
11Deuet eo da gavout e re, hag e re n'o eus ket e zegemeret.
12But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name.
12Met d'an holl re o deus e zegemeret, en deus roet an droed da vezañ graet bugale da Zoue, da c'houzout eo, d'an holl re a gred en e anv,
13Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
13ar re n'int ket bet ganet eus ar gwad, nag eus bolontez ar c'hig, nag eus bolontez an den, met eus Doue.
14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
14Hag ar Ger a zo bet graet kig, hag en deus chomet en hon touez, leun a c'hras hag a wirionez, ha gwelet hon eus e c'hloar, ur gloar evel hini Mab nemetañ an Tad.
15John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me.
15Yann a roas testeni dezhañ, pa grias o lavarout: Hemañ eo an hini a lavaren diwar e benn: An hini a zeu war va lerc'h a zo dreiston, abalamour ma oa kentoc'h egedon.
16And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
16Ni holl hon eus resevet eus e leunder, ha gras evit gras.
17For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
17Rak al lezenn a zo bet roet dre Voizez, an drugarez hag ar wirionez a zo deuet dre Jezuz-Krist.
18No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
18Den n'en deus biskoazh gwelet Doue; ar Mab nemetañ a zo en askre an Tad, eo an hini en deus graet e anavezout.
19And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: Who art thou?
19Setu amañ testeni Yann, pa gasas ar Yuzevien eus Jeruzalem beleien ha levited da c'houlenn outañ: Piv out-te?
20And he confessed, and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ.
20Disklêriañ a reas ha ne nac'has ket, disklêriañ a reas: N'on ket-me ar C'hrist.
21And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No.
21Hag e c'houlennjont outañ: Piv out eta? Bez' out Elia? Eñ a lavaras: N'on ket. Bez' out ar profed? Eñ a respontas: Nann.
22They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?
22Int a lavaras eta dezhañ: Piv out-te? Evit ma roimp respont d'ar re o deus hon degaset. Petra a lavarez ac'hanout da-unan?
23He said: I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias.
23Eñ a lavaras: Me eo mouezh an hini a gri el lec'h distro: Plaenit hent an Aotrou, evel m'en deus lavaret ar profed Izaia.
24And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees.
24Ar re a oa bet kaset a oa farizianed.
25And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
25Goulenn a rejont outañ: Perak e vadezez, ma n'out nag ar C'hrist, nag Elia, nag ar profed?
26John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not.
26Yann a respontas hag a lavaras dezho: Evidon-me, me a vadez en dour; met unan bennak a zo en ho touez, ha n'anavezit ket anezhañ.
27The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.
27Hennezh eo an hini a zeu war va lerc'h, [hag a zo dreiston]; ha n'on ket dellezek da zieren korreenn e votoù.
28These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
28Kement-mañ a c'hoarvezas e Betania, en tu all d'ar Jordan, e-lec'h ma vadeze Yann.
29The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.
29An deiz war-lerc'h, Yann a welas Jezuz o tont d'e gavout, hag a lavaras: Setu Oan Doue, an hini a lam pec'hed ar bed.
30This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.
30Eñ eo an hini e lavaren diwar e benn: Dont a ra war va lerc'h un den hag a zo dreiston, rak a-raok din e oa.
31And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
31Evidon-me, n'anavezen ket anezhañ; met deuet on da vadeziñ en dour, evit ma vo disklêriet da Israel.
32And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.
32Yann a roas c'hoazh an testeni-mañ, o lavarout: Gwelet em eus ar Spered o tiskenn eus an neñv evel ur goulm, hag o tont warnañ.
33And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
33Evidon-me, n'anavezen ket anezhañ; met an hini en deus va c'haset da vadeziñ en dour, en deus lavaret din: An hini a weli ar Spered o tiskenn hag o chom warnañ, hennezh eo an hini a vadez er Spered-Santel.
34And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.
34Hag em eus gwelet, hag em eus roet testeni eo eñ Mab Doue.
35The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples.
35An deiz war-lerc'h, Yann a oa c'hoazh eno gant daou eus e ziskibien,
36And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.
36hag o welout Jezuz a valee, e lavaras: Setu Oan Doue.
37And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
37An daou ziskibl, o vezañ e glevet o komz evel-se, a heulias Jezuz.
38And Jesus turning, and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
38Jezuz o vezañ distroet hag o welout e heulient anezhañ, a lavaras dezho: Petra a glaskit? Respont a rejont dezhañ: Rabbi (da lavarout eo Mestr), pelec'h e chomez?
39He saith to them: Come and see. They came, and saw where he abode, and they stayed with him that day: now it was about the tenth hour.
39Eñ a lavaras dezho: Deuit ha gwelit. Mont a rejont, hag e weljont pelec'h e chome, hag e chomjont gantañ an deiz-se, rak war-dro an dekvet eur e oa.
40And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John, and followed him.
40Andrev, breur Simon-Pêr, a oa unan eus an daou o devoa klevet ar pezh en devoa lavaret Yann, hag o devoa heuliet Jezuz.
41He findeth first his brother Simon, and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
41Andrev a gavas da gentañ Simon e vreur, hag a lavaras dezhañ: Ni hon eus kavet ar Mesiaz (da lavarout eo ar C'hrist, an Eouliet).
42And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter.
42Hag e tegasas anezhañ da Jezuz. Jezuz, o vezañ sellet outañ, a lavaras dezhañ: Te eo Simon, mab Jona; te a vo galvet Kefaz (da lavarout eo Pêr).
43On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow me.
43An deiz war-lerc'h, Jezuz a c'hoantaas mont e Galilea, hag e kavas Filip; lavarout a reas dezhañ: Heul ac'hanon.
44Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
44Filip a oa eus Betsaida, kêr Andrev ha Pêr.
45Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.
45Filip a gavas Natanael hag a lavaras dezhañ: Kavet hon eus an hini a zo bet skrivet diwar e benn gant Moizez el lezenn ha gant ar brofeded: Jezuz, mab Jozef, eus Nazared.
46And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see.
46Natanael a lavaras dezhañ: Hag eus Nazared e c'hell dont un dra vat bennak? Filip a lavaras dezhañ: Deus ha gwel.
47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him: and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.
47Jezuz, o welout Natanael o tont d'e gavout, a lavaras diwar e benn: Setu ur gwir Israelad, ha n'eus ket a droidell ennañ.
48Nathanael saith 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.
48Natanael a lavaras dezhañ: A-belec'h ec'h anavezez ac'hanon? Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: A-raok ma c'halvas Filip ac'hanout, pa oas dindan ar wezenn-fiez, e welen ac'hanout.
49Nathanael answered him, and said: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.
49Natanael a respontas dezhañ: Mestr, te eo Mab Doue, te eo roue Israel.
50Jesus answered, and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see.
50Jezuz a respontas dezhañ: Abalamour ma em eus lavaret dit em boa da welet dindan ar wezenn-fiez, e kredez; te a welo traoù brasoc'h eget ar re-mañ.
51And he saith to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
51Lavarout a reas ivez dezhañ: E gwirionez, e gwirionez, me a lavar deoc'h: A-vremañ c'hwi a welo an neñv digor, hag aeled Doue o pignat hag o tiskenn a-us da Vab an den.
