João 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome*1:5 The word translated "overcome" (κατέλαβεν) can also be translated "comprehended." It refers to getting a grip on an enemy to defeat him. it.

6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. 9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him. 11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him. 12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born*1:14 The phrase "only born" is from the Greek word "μονογενους", which is sometimes translated "only begotten" or "one and only". Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John 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.’" 16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.*1:17 "Christ" means "Anointed One". 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born*1:18 The phrase "only born" is from the Greek word "μονογενη", which is sometimes translated "only begotten" or "one and only". Son,*1:18 NU reads "God" who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

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

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

21 They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?"

He said, "I am not."

"Are you the prophet?"

He answered, "No."

22 They 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?"

23 He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’✝1:23 Isaiah 40:3 as Isaiah the prophet said."

24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?"

26 John answered them, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know. 27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen." 28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold,*1:29 "Behold", from "ἰδοὺ", means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection. the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’ 31 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel." 32 John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him. 33 I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’ 34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God."

35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" 37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Jesus 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?"

39 He 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.*1:39 4:00 p.m. 40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is, being interpreted, Christ*1:41 "Messiah" (Hebrew) and "Christ" (Greek) both mean "Anointed One".). 42 He 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).*1:42 "Cephas" (Aramaic) and "Peter" (Greek) both mean "Rock".

43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, "Follow me." 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

46 Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?"

Philip said to him, "Come and see."

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

48 Nathanael 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."

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

50 Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!" 51 He said to him, "Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

Te Kupu o te Ora

1 I te tīmatanga te Kupu, i te Atua te Kupu, ko te Atua anō te Kupu. 2 I te Atua anō tēnei Kupu i te tīmatanga. 3 Nāna ngā mea katoa i hanga; kāhore hoki tētahi mea i kore te hanga e ia o ngā mea i hangā. 4 I a ia te ora; ko te ora te mārama mō ngā tāngata. 5 I roto i te pōuri te mārama e whiti ana; heoi, kīhai i mau i te pōuri.

6 I tonoa mai he tangata e te Atua, ko Hoani tōna ingoa. 7 I haere mai ia hei kaiwhakaatu, hei whakaatu mō te mārama, kia meinga ai e ia ngā tāngata katoa kia whakapono. 8 Ehara ia i te mārama, engari, i haere mai hei kaiwhakaatu mō te mārama. 9 Ko te mārama pono tērā, arā, ko te mārama e mārama ai ngā tāngata katoa e haere mai ana ki te ao.

10 I te ao ia, i hangā anō e ia te ao, ā, kīhai te ao i mōhio ki a ia. 11 I haere mai ia ki ōna, ā, kīhai ōna i manako ki a ia. 12 Tēnā ko te hunga i manako ki a ia i tukua e ia ki a rātou ngā tikanga e meinga ai rātou hei tamariki mā te Atua, arā ki te hunga e whakapono ana ki tōna ingoa. 13 Ki te hunga ehara nei i te toto, ehara i tā te kikokiko i pai ai, ehara i tā te tangata i pai ai, engari, nā te Atua i whānau ai.

14 I whakakikokikotia te Kupu, ā, noho ana i a mātou, i kite anō mātou i tōna korōria he korōria e rite ana ki tō te Tama kotahi a te Matua, kī tonu i te aroha noa, i te pono.

15 I kōrerotia ia e Hoani; i karanga tērā, i mea, "Ko ia tēnei i kōrerotia rā e ahau, ‘Ko ia e haere mai ana i muri i ahau e meinga ana ki mua i ahau; nō mua hoki ia i ahau.’ "

16 Kua riro hoki i a tātou katoa tētahi wāhi o tōna raneatanga, te aroha noa hono iho ki te aroha noa. 17 Nā Mohi hoki i hōmai te ture; ko te aroha noa me te pono i ahu mai i a Īhu Karaiti. 18 Kāhore anō he tangata i kite noa i te Atua; ko te Tama kotahi, kei te uma nei o te Matua, nāna ia i whakapuaki.

Te Kōrero a Hoani Kaiiriiri

19 Nā, ko te kōrero tēnei a Hoani, i te tononga mai a ngā Hūrai i Hiruhārama i ngā tohunga nui rātou ko ngā Rīwaiti hei ui ki a ia, "Ko wai koe?"

20 Nā, ka whākina e ia, kīhai i whakakāhore, i whāki hoki, "Ehara ahau i a te Karaiti."

21 Ā, ka ui rātou ki a ia, "Tēnā, pēhea? Ko Irāia koe?"

Ka mea ia, "Kāhore."

"Ko te poropiti oti koe?"

Ka whakahokia e ia, "Kāhore."

22 Nā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Ko wai koia koe? Hei kupu whakahoki mā mātou ki te hunga i tonoa mai ai mātou. E pēhea ana koe ki a koe?"

23 Ka mea ia:

"He reo ahau nō tētahi e karanga ana i te koraha,

‘Whakatikaia te huarahi o te Ariki!’ "

He pērā me tā Ihāia poropiti i mea ai.

24 Nō ngā Parihi hoki te hunga i tonoa mai rā. 25 Nā, ka ui rātou ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, "He aha oti koe i iriiri ai, ki te mea ehara koe i a te Karaiti, ehara i a Irāia, ehara i te poropiti?"

26 Nā, ka whakahoki a Hoani ki a rātou, ka mea, "He iriiri tāku ki te wai; otiia tēnā te tū nā i waenganui i a koutou tētahi kāhore e mōhiotia e koutou. 27 Ko ia tēnei e haere mai ana i muri i ahau kāhore hoki ahau e tau hei wewete i te here o tōna hū."

28 I meatia ēnei mea ki Petapara, ki tāwāhi atu o Horano, ki te wāhi e iriiri ana a Hoani.

Te Reme a te Atua

29 I te aonga ake, ka kite ia i a Īhu e haere ana mai ki a ia, ka mea, "Nā te Reme a te Atua, hei waha atu i te hara o te ao! 30 Ko ia tēnei i kōrero ai ahau, ‘Kei te haere mai i muri i ahau tētahi tangata kua meinga ki mua i ahau; nō mua hoki ia i ahau.’ 31 Ā, kāhore ahau i mātau ki a ia; heoi, hei whakakite i a ia ki a Īharaira, i haere mai ai ahau me tāku iriiri ki te wai."

32 Nā, ka whakaatu a Hoani, ka mea, "I kite ahau i te Wairua e heke iho ana i te rangi, ānō he kūkupa, ā, noho ana i runga i a ia. 33 Ā, kāhore ahau i mātau ki a ia; engari i kī mai ki ahau te kaitono mai i ahau ki te iriiri ki te wai, ‘Ko te tangata e kite ai koe i te Wairua e heke iho ana, e noho ana ki runga ki a ia, ko ia tēnā te kaiiriiri ki te Wairua Tapu.’ 34 Ā, kua kite ahau, kua whakaatu nei hoki, ko te Tama tēnei a te Atua."

Ngā Ākonga Tuatahi a Īhu

35 I te aonga ake i te tū anō a Hoani me āna ākonga tokorua; 36 nā, ka titiro ia ki a Īhu e haere ana, ka mea, "Nā, te Reme a te Atua!"

37 Ā, ka rongo ngā ākonga tokorua ki a ia e kōrero ana, ā, aru ana rāua i a Īhu. 38 Ā, ka tahuri a Īhu, ka kite i a rāua e aru ana, ka mea ia ki a rāua "E rapu ana kōrua i te aha?"

Nā, ko tā rāua meatanga ki a ia, "E Rapi" (ko te tikanga tēnei ina whakamāoritia, e te Kaiwhakaako), "kei hea tōu kāinga?"

39 Ka mea ia ki a rāua, "Haere mai kia kite." Haere ana rāua, ā, ka kite i tōna wāhi i noho ai, ā, noho ana i a ia i taua rā; ko te tekau hoki ia o ngā hāora.

40 Ko Anaru, teina o Haimona Pita tētahi o taua tokorua i rongo nei ki a Hoani e kōrero ana, ā, aru ana i a ia. 41 Ko ia kua kite wawe i tōna tuakana ake, i a Haimona, ka mea ki a ia, "Kua kitea e māua te Mīhaia." (Ko te tikanga tēnei ina whakamāoritia, ko te Karaiti). 42 Nā, ka ārahina mai ia e ia ki a Īhu.

Ā, ka titiro a Īhu ki a ia, ka mea, "Ko Haimona koe, ko te tama a Hona, me hua koe ko Kipa." (Tōna whakamāoritanga ko Pita, arā ko Kōhatu).

Ka Karangatia e Īhu ki a Piripi rāua ko Natanahira

43 I te aonga ake ka mea a Īhu kia haere ki Karirī, ā, ka kite i a Piripi; ā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "E aru i ahau."

44 Nā, ko Piripi nō Petahaira, nō te pā o Anaru rāua ko Pita. 45 Ka kite a Piripi i a Natanahira, ka mea ki a ia, "Kua kitea e mātou a ia, mōna nei te tuhituhi a Mohi i roto i te ture, tā ngā poropiti hoki, a Īhu o Nahareta te tama a Hōhepa."

46 Nā, ka mea a Natanahira ki a ia, "E puta koia tētahi mea pai i Nahareta?"

Ka mea a Piripi ki a ia, "Haere mai kia kite."

47 Ka kite a Īhu i a Natanahira e haere ana mai ki a ia, ka puaki tāna kupu mōna, "Nā, he tino tangata nō Īharaira, kāhore ōna tinihanga."

48 Ka mea a Natanahira ki a ia, "Nō hea koe i mātau ai ki ahau?"

Ka whakahoki a Īhu ki a ia, ka mea, "I te mea kīanō koe i karangatia e Piripi, i a koe anō i raro i te piki, i kite ahau i a koe."

49 Nā, ka whakahoki a Natanahira, ka mea ki a ia, "E Rapi, ko te Tama koe a te Atua, ko te Kīngi koe o Īharaira!"

50 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, "Nō tāku meatanga ki a koe, ‘I kite ahau i a koe i raro i te piki,’ i whakapono ai koe? Rahi atu i ēnei ngā mea e kitea e koe." 51 I mea anō ia ki a ia, "He pono, he pono tēnei kupu āku ki a koutou, tērā koutou e kite i te rangi e tuwhera ana, i ngā anahera a te Atua e piki ake ana, e heke iho ana ki te Tama a te tangata."
