John 1:1-28 in Kannada

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 by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

1 ಆದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಕ್ಯವಿದ್ದನು; ಆ ವಾಕ್ಯವು ದೇವರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಇದ್ದನು; ಆ ವಾಕ್ಯವು ದೇವರಾಗಿದ್ದನು.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 ಆತನೇ ಆದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ದೇವರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಇದ್ದನು.
The same was in the beginning with God.

3 ಎಲ್ಲವು ಆತನಿಂದ ಉಂಟಾಯಿತು; ಉಂಟಾದದ್ದರಲ್ಲಿ ಆತನಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಯಾವದೂ ಉಂಟಾಗ ಲಿಲ್ಲ.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 ಆತನಲ್ಲಿ ಜೀವವಿತ್ತು; ಆ ಜೀವವು ಮನುಷ್ಯ ರಿಗೆ ಬೆಳಕಾಗಿತ್ತು.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 ಆ ಬೆಳಕು ಕತ್ತಲಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಕಾಶಿಸುತ್ತದೆ; ಆ ಕತ್ತಲು ಅದನ್ನು ಗ್ರಹಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6 ದೇವರಿಂದ ಕಳುಹಿ ಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟ ಒಬ್ಬ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿದ್ದನು; ಅವನ ಹೆಸರು ಯೋಹಾನನು.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ತನ್ನ ಮೂಲಕವಾಗಿ ನಂಬುವಂತೆ ಅವನೇ ಆ ಬೆಳಕಿನ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ ಕೊಡುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿಗಾಗಿ ಬಂದನು.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8 ಅವನು ಆ ಬೆಳಕಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ಆ ಬೆಳಕಿನ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ ಕೊಡು ವದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಳುಹಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟನು.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9 ಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರುವ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿಗೆ ಆತನು ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಕೊಡುವ ನಿಜವಾದ ಬೆಳಕಾಗಿದ್ದನು.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 ಆತನು ಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದನು; ಲೋಕವು ಆತನಿಂದ ಉಂಟಾಯಿತು; ಲೋಕವು ಆತನನ್ನು ಅರಿಯಲಿಲ್ಲ.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 ಆತನು ತನ್ನ ಸ್ವಂತದವರ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದನು. ಆತನ ಸ್ವಂತದವರು ಆತನನ್ನು ಅಂಗೀಕರಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 ಆದರೆ ಯಾರಾರು ಆತನನ್ನು ಅಂಗೀಕರಿಸಿದರೋ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಅಂದರೆ ಆತನ ಹೆಸರಿನ ಮೇಲೆ ನಂಬಿಕೆಯಿಡುವವರಿಗೆ ದೇವರ ಪುತ್ರರಾಗುವ ಅಧಿಕಾರವನ್ನು ಆತನು ಕೊಟ್ಟನು.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 ಇವರು ರಕ್ತದಿಂದಾಗಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಶರೀರದ ಇಚ್ಛೆಯಿಂದಾಗಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ಇಚ್ಛೆಯಿಂದಾ ಗಲಿ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದವರಲ್ಲ, ದೇವರಿಂದಲೇ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದವರು.
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಆ ವಾಕ್ಯವಾಗಿರುವಾತನು ಶರೀರಧಾರಿ ಯಾಗಿ ಕೃಪೆಯಿಂದಲೂ ಸತ್ಯದಿಂದಲೂ ತುಂಬಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಮಾಡಿದನು. (ತಂದೆಯಿಂದ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ ಒಬ್ಬನೇ ಮಗನ ಮಹಿಮೆಯಂತೆ ನಾವು ಆತನ ಮಹಿಮೆಯನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದೆವು).
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

15 ಯೋಹಾನನು ಆತನ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟು--ನನ್ನ ಹಿಂದೆ ಬರುವಾತನು ನನಗಿಂತ ಮೊದಲೇ ಇದ್ದದರಿಂದ ನನಗಿಂತ ಮುಂದಿನವನು ಎಂದು ನಾನು ಹೇಳಿದಾತನು ಈತನೇ ಎಂದು ಕೂಗಿ ಹೇಳಿದನು.
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

16 ಆತನ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣತೆಯೊಳಗಿಂದ ನಾವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಕೃಪೆಗಾಗಿ ಕೃಪೆಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆವು.
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

17 ನ್ಯಾಯಪ್ರಮಾಣವು ಮೋಶೆಯ ಮುಖಾಂತರ ವಾಗಿ ಕೊಡಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿತು; ಆದರೆ ಕೃಪೆಯೂ ಸತ್ಯವೂ ಯೇಸು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಮುಖಾಂತರವಾಗಿ ಬಂದವು.
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

18 ಯಾವನೂ ಯಾವ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲೂ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಕಂಡಿಲ್ಲ. ತಂದೆಯ ಎದೆಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಆ ಒಬ್ಬನೇ ಮಗ ನಾಗಿರುವಾತನು ಆತನನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಯಪಡಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

19 ನೀನು ಯಾರು ಎಂದು ಅವನನ್ನು ಕೇಳುವದ ಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಯೆಹೂದ್ಯರು ಯಾಜಕರನ್ನೂ ಲೇವಿಯರನ್ನೂ ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮಿನಿಂದ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದಾಗ ಯೋಹಾನನು ಕೊಟ್ಟ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ ಇದೇ.
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20 ಅವನು ಒಪ್ಪಿಕೊಂಡನು. ಅಲ್ಲಗಳೆಯಲಿಲ್ಲ; ಅವನು--ನಾನು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಒಪ್ಪಿಕೊಂಡನು.
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

21 ಅದಕ್ಕವರು--ಹಾಗಾದರೇನು? ನೀನು ಎಲೀಯನೋ ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದರು. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಅವನು--ನಾನಲ್ಲ ಅಂದನು. ಅವರು ನೀನು ಆ ಪ್ರವಾದಿಯೋ ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ ಅವನು--ಅಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಉತ್ತರಕೊಟ್ಟನು.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

22 ಆಗ ಅವರು ಅವ ನಿಗೆ--ನೀನು ಯಾರು? ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದವರಿಗೆ ನಾವು ಉತ್ತರ ಹೇಳುವಂತೆ ನೀನು ನಿನ್ನ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಏನು ಹೇಳುತ್ತೀ ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದರು.
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23 ಅವನು--ಕರ್ತನ ದಾರಿಯನ್ನು ನೆಟ್ಟಗೆ ಮಾಡಿರಿ ಎಂದು ಅಡವಿ ಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂಗುವ ಒಬ್ಬನ ಶಬ್ದವದೆ ಎಂದು ಪ್ರವಾದಿ ಯಾದ ಯೆಶಾಯನು ಹೇಳಿದ ಶಬ್ದವೇ ನಾನು ಎಂದು ಉತ್ತರಕೊಟ್ಟನು.
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

24 ಕಳುಹಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟವರು ಫರಿಸಾಯರ ಕಡೆಯವರಾಗಿದ್ದರು.
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

25 ಅವರು ಅವನಿಗೆ--ನೀನು ಆ ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನೂ ಎಲೀಯನೂ ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಆ ಪ್ರವಾದಿಯೂ ಅಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಬಾಪ್ತಿಸ್ಮ ಮಾಡಿಸುವದು ಯಾಕೆ ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದರು.
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

26 ಯೋಹಾನನು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಪ್ರತ್ಯುತ್ತರ ವಾಗಿ--ನಾನು ನೀರಿನಿಂದ ಬಾಪ್ತಿಸ್ಮ ಮಾಡಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ; ಆದರೆ ನೀವು ಅರಿಯದಿರುವಂಥ ಒಬ್ಬಾತನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಂತಿದ್ದಾನೆ;
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

27 ಆತನೇ ನನ್ನ ಹಿಂದೆ ಬರು ವಾತನಾಗಿದ್ದು ನನಗಿಂತ ಮುಂದಿನವನಾದನು; ಆತನ ಕೆರದ ಬಾರನ್ನು ಬಿಚ್ಚುವದಕ್ಕೆ ನಾನು ಯೋಗ್ಯನಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು.
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

28 ಇವುಗಳು ಯೊರ್ದನಿನ ಆಚೆ ಕಡೆಯ ಬೇಥಾಬರದಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದವು; ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಯೋಹಾನನು ಬಾಪ್ತಿಸ್ಮ ಮಾಡಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದನು.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
