I.
Prologs.
1 Īsōkumā beja Vōrds,
un Vōrds beja pi Dīva,
un Dīvs beja Vōrds.
2 Jys īsōkumā beja pi Dīva.
3 Caur Jū tyka dareits vyss,
un bez Jō nikas natyka padareits,
kas vīn tyka dareits.
4 Jamā beja dzeiveiba,
un dzeiveiba beja cylvāku gaisma,
5 un gaisma speid tymsumā,
un tymsums jōs naapjēme.
6 Vīns cylvāks beja Dīva syuteits,
jam vōrds beja Jōņs.
7 Jys atgōja līceibas dēļ:
lai līcynōtu par gaismu,
lai visi caur jū tycātu.
8 Jys pats nabeja gaisma,
bet gon jam beja par gaismu jōlīcynoj.
9 Beja eistō Gaisma,
kas apgaismoj ikvīnu cylvāku,
kas atīt uz pasauli.
10 Jei pasaulī beja;
pasauļs caur Jū ir radeits;
bet pasauļs Jōs napazyna.
11 Atgōja uz sovejim,
bet sovejī Jōs napījēme.
12 Ikvīnam, kas Jū pījēme,
deve varu palikt par Dīva bārnu:
tim, kas Jō vōrdam tic,
13 kas na nu ašņa,
na nu mīsas kōreibas,
na nu veira kōreibas,
bet nu Dīva ir dzymuši.
14 Un Vōrds kliva Mīsa
un storp mums dzeivōja,
un mes redzējom Jō gūdu.
Vīnpīdzymušō nu Tāva gūdeibu
pylnu žēlesteibas un patīseibas.
15 Jōņs līcynōja par Jū un sauce saceidams:
Šytys ir Tys, par kuru es saceju:
Tys, kas pēc manis nōks, par mani ir augstōks,
jo Jys beja pyrmōk, kai es.
16 Nu Jō piļneibas tadei mes sajēmem vysu:
žēlesteibu pēc žēlesteibas.
17 Caur Moizešu ir dūts lykums,
caur Jezu Kristu nōce žēlesteiba un patīseiba.
18 Dīva nivīns nikod nav redzējis;
Vīnpīdzymušais, kurs pats ir Dīvs,
Tāva klēpī byudams, —
Jys par Jū mums paskaidrōja.
Jōņa Kristeitōja līceiba.
19 Un šytei ir Jōņa līceiba, kad jūdi nu Jeruzalema syuteja goreidznīkus un levitus, lai Jō pavaicōtu: Kas tu esi? 20 Jys atzyna un naaizalīdze. Un jys izzyna: Es naasmu Kristus. 21 Tad jī vaicōja: Kas tu esi Eliass? Jys atbiļdēja: Naasmu. Vai tu esi Tys Pravīts? Jys atbiļdēja: Nē. 22 Kas tad tu esi? jī vaicōja tōļōk. Mums tadei ir jōdūd atbiļde tim, kas myusus syuteja. Kū tu pats par sevi soki? 23 Jys atbiļdēja: Es asmu tuksnesī saucēja bolss: Sagatavojit Kungam ceļu, kai pravīts Izaja ir sacejis.
24 Syuteitī pīdarēja pi farizejim. 25 Tōdēļ ari lyka jam prīškā jautōjumu: Kōpēc tad kristi, jo naesi ni Kristus, ni Eliass, ni Tys Pravīts? 26 Jōņs tim atbiļdēja saceidams: Es kristu ar yudini, bet jyusu vydā ir Tys, kurō jyus nazynat. 27 Tys ir, kas pēc manis nōks, (kas jau pyrms manis ir), un es naasmu cīneigs atraiseit Jō kūrpem saites.
28 Šytys nūtyka Betanijā, viņpus Jordana, kur Jōņs kristeja. 29 Dīnu vālōk jys īraudzeja Jezus atejam un saceja: Raug, Dīva Jārs, kurs nūceļ pasauļa grākus. 30 Šytys ir tys, par kuru runōju: Pēc manis atīs veirs, kas par mani ir augstōks, jo Jys beja agrōk na kai es. 31 Es gon Jō napazynu. Bet tōpēc atgōju ar yudini kristeitu, lai Jys Izraeļam tyktu atklōts. 32 Tai pat Jōņs līcynōja tōļōk saceidams: Es redzēju Goru, kai bolūdi nu dabasim nūejam un uz Jō nūsalaižam. 33 Es gon Jō napazynu, bet Tys, kas mani syuteja kristeitu ar yudini, maņ pasludynōja: Vērs kō īraudzeisi nūsalaižam un palīkam Goru, tys ir Tys, kas kristeis ar Svātū Goru. 34 Un es pats tū redzēju un asmu par līcinīku, ka tys ir Dīva Dāls.
Pirmī K. Jezus mōcekli.
35 Nōkušā dīnā Jōņs reizē ar sovim divejim mōceklim vēļ tur pat beja, 36 un, īraudzejis Jezu ejam, saceja: Raug, Dīva Jārs!
37 Izdzērduši tūs vōrdus, tī divi mōcekli gōja Jezum pakaļ. 38 Jezus, atsagrīzis un tūs pakaļ ejūt īraudzejis, saceja: Kō jyus meklejat? Tī Jam atbiļdēja: Rabbi, tys ir Mōceitōj, kur Tu pīmōjoj? 39 Jys tim saceja: Ejte un apskotit. Jī aizgōja un redzēja, kur pīmōjoj, un tū dīnu pi Jō palyka; tys nūtyka apmāram dasmytā stuņdē.
40 Vīns nu tim, kas dzērdēja Jōņa vōrdus un aizgōja Jezum pakaļ, beja Seimaņa Pītera brōļs Andrivs. 41 Jys, pyrmū saticis sovu brōli Seimani, jam saceja: Mes atrodom Mesiasu, tys ir Kristus. 42 Tad jys atvede jū pi Jezus. Un Jezus, vārdamīs uz jō, saceja: Tu esi Jōņa dāls Seimaņs; tevi sauks Kefas, tys ir Pīters ( — Kliņts).
43 Nōkūšā dīnā Jezus gribēja īt uz Galileju. Te Jys satyka Filipu, un Jezus jam saceja: Ej Maņ pakaļ. 44 Filips beja nu Betsaidas, Andriva un Pītera mīsta. 45 Filips, saticis Natanieli, jam saceja: Mes atrodom Tū, par kuru Moizešs lykumā raksteja un pravīši: Jezu nu Nazaretes, Jezupa dālu. 46 Bet Natanieļs jam atbiļdēja: Vai tad var kas lobs nu Nazaretes ceļtīs? Filips tam saceja: Ej un apskot. 47 Jezus, īraudzejis klōtejūšū Natanieli, jam saceja: Raug, eistais izraelīts, kurā nav viļteibas. 48 Natanieļs Jam saceja: Kai Tu mani pazeisti? Jezus jam atbiļdēja: Agrōk na Filips tevi paaicynōja, Es tevi redzēju zam figu kūka. 49 Natanieļs atsasauce un Jam saceja: Mōceitōj, Tu esi Dīva Dāls; Tu esi Izraeļa kēneņš. 50 Jezus jam atbiļdēja saceidams: Tu tici, ka Es tev saceju, ka tevi redzēju zam figu kūka? Tu īraudzeisi vēļ lelōkas lītas. 51 Un tōļōk jam saceja: Patīši, patīši, Es jums soku: Jyus redzēsit atvārtus dabasus un Dīva eņgeļus pasaceļam un nūsalaižam vērs Cylvāka Dāla.
The Word of Life
1 In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 From the very beginning the Word was with God. 3 Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him. 4 The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to people. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.
6 God sent his messenger, a man named John, 7 who came to tell people about the light, so that all should hear the message and believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came to tell about the light. 9 This was the real light—the light that comes into the world and shines on all people.
10 The Word was in the world, and though God made the world through him, yet the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to his own country, but his own people did not receive him. 12 Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God's children. 13 They did not become God's children by natural means, that is, by being born as the children of a human father; God himself was their Father.
14 The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father's only Son.
15 John spoke about him. He cried out, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘He comes after me, but he is greater than I am, because he existed before I was born.’”
16 Out of the fullness of his grace he has blessed us all, giving us one blessing after another. 17 God gave the Law through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is the same as God and is at the Father's side, he has made him known.
John the Baptist's Message
(Matthew 3.1-12Mark 1.1-8Luke 3.1-18)19 The Jewish authorities in Jerusalem sent some priests and Levites to John to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 John did not refuse to answer, but spoke out openly and clearly, saying: “I am not the Messiah.”
21 “Who are you, then?” they asked. “Are you Elijah?”
“No, I am not,” John answered.
“Are you the Prophet?” they asked.
“No,” he replied.
22 “Then tell us who you are,” they said. “We have to take an answer back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 John answered by quoting the prophet Isaiah:
“I am ‘the voice of someone shouting in the desert:
Make a straight path for the Lord to travel!’”
24 The messengers, who had been sent by the Pharisees, 25 then asked John, “If you are not the Messiah nor Elijah nor the Prophet, why do you baptize?”
26 John answered, “I baptize with water, but among you stands the one you do not know. 27 He is coming after me, but I am not good enough even to untie his sandals.”
28 All this happened in Bethany on the east side of the Jordan River, where John was baptizing.
The Lamb of God
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘A man is coming after me, but he is greater than I am, because he existed before I was born.’ 31 I did not know who he would be, but I came baptizing with water in order to make him known to the people of Israel.”
32 And John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and stay on him. 33 I still did not know that he was the one, but God, who sent me to baptize with water, had said to me, ‘You will see the Spirit come down and stay on a man; he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 I have seen it,” said John, “and I tell you that he is the Son of God.”
The First Disciples of Jesus
35 The next day John was standing there again with two of his disciples, 36 when he saw Jesus walking by. “There is the Lamb of God!” he said.
37 The two disciples heard him say this and went with Jesus. 38 Jesus turned, saw them following him, and asked, “What are you looking for?”
They answered, “Where do you live, Rabbi?” (This word means “Teacher.”)
39 “Come and see,” he answered. (It was then about four o'clock in the afternoon.) So they went with him and saw where he lived, and spent the rest of that day with him.
40 One of them was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 At once he found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah.” (This word means “Christ.”) 42 Then he took Simon to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said, “Your name is Simon son of John, but you will be called Cephas.” (This is the same as Peter and means “a rock.”)
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Come with me!” ( 44 Philip was from Bethsaida, the town where Andrew and Peter lived.) 45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the book of the Law and whom the prophets also wrote about. He is Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
46 “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked.
“Come and see,” answered Philip.
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, he said about him, “Here is a real Israelite; there is nothing false in him!”
48 Nathanael asked him, “How do you know me?”
Jesus answered, “I saw you when you were under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49 “Teacher,” answered Nathanael, “you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 Jesus said, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you when you were under the fig tree? You will see much greater things than this!” 51 And he said to them, “I am telling you the truth: you will see heaven open and God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of Man.”
