John 1:1-28 in Nepali

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 संसार सृष्टि हुन पहिल्यै त्यहाँ वचनथियो। त्यो वचन परमेश्वरसंग थियो, अनि वचननै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्थ्यो।
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 उहाँको वचन शुरूमा परमेश्वसंग हुनुहुन्थ्यो।
The same was in the beginning with God.

3 र उहाँकै माध्यमबाट विश्व सृजना हुन सक्यो। उहाँ बिना केही सृजना हुन सकेन।
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 उहाँ स्वयं जीवन हुनुहुन्थयो। त्यो जीवन मानिसहरूको निम्ति ज्योति थियो।
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 त्यो ज्योति अँध्यारोमा चम्कन्छ। अनि अन्धकारले ज्योतिलाई जित्न सक्दैन।
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6 परमेश्वरद्वारा पठाइएको यूहन्ना नाउँका एकजना मानिस थिए।
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 यूहन्ना त्यही ज्योतिको विषयमा साक्षी दिन आएका थिए। उनकै माध्यमद्वारा मानिसहरूले ज्योति र विश्वासबारे जान्न-सुन्न पाए।
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8 यूहन्ना ज्योति थिएनन्, तर उनी ज्योतिको बारेमा साक्षी दिन आएका थिए।
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9 सत्य-ज्योति संसारमा आइरहकाछन् भनेर उनले बताई दिए। त्यो ज्योतिले सम्पूर्ण मानिसहरूलाई ज्योति दिनेछ।
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 उहाँ संसारका हुनुहुन्थ्यो, संसार उहाँद्वारा हुन आयो, तर संसारले उहाँलाई चिनेन।
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 उहाँ स्वयंले सृजना गरेको संसारमा आउनु भयो तर उहाँको आफ्नो मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई स्वीकार गरेनन्।
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 केही मानिसहरूले मात्र उहाँलाई स्वीकार गरे। ज-जसले उहाँलाई स्वीकार गरे उनीहरूलाई मात्र परमेश्वरको सन्तान हुने अधिकार उहाँले दिनुभयो।
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 ती बालकहरू प्राकृतिक तवरबाट जन्मेका थिएनन्। तिनीहरू आफ्नो आमा-बाबुको शारीरिक इच्छा अथवा निर्णयबाट जन्मेका थिएनन्। बद्लामा तिनीहरू परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेका थिए।
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 वचन शरीर हुन आए र हामी माझ बसे। हामीले उहाँको महिमा देख्यौं, अनि हामीले पिताका एकमात्र पुत्रको महिमा जस्तो उहाँको महिमा देख्यौं। वचन अनुग्रह र सत्यताले पूर्ण थियो।
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 यूहन्नाले ख्रीष्टकै सम्बन्धमा मानिसहरूलाई भने, “उहाँ एकजना हुनुहन्छ जसका विषयमा म भनिरहेको थिंए, ‘जो म पछि आउनु हुन्छ, उहाँ मभन्दा महान हुनुहुन्छ। किनभने उहाँ मभन्दा पहिल्यै आउनु भएको थियो।
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 उहाँ वचन अनुग्रह र सत्यको भण्डार हुनुहुन्छ। हामीले उहाँबाट धेरै आशिष पाएका छौं।
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

17 मोशाबाट व्यवस्था प्रदान गरिएको थियो तर अनुग्रह र सत्यको बाटो येशू ख्रीष्टबाटै आयो।
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

18 कसैले पनि कहिल्यै परमेश्वरलाई देखेका छैनन्। तर एकमात्र पुत्र जो परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ अनि जो पिताको अति नजिकमा हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँले हामीलाई परमेश्वर चिनाउनु भएकोछ।
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 यरूशलेममा यहूदीहरूले केही पूजाहारीहरू र लेवीहरू यूहन्नाकहाँ पठाए। तिनीहरूलाई यूहन्ना लाई “तिमी को हौ?” भनि सोध्न पठाए।
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20 यूहन्नाले प्रत्युत्तर दिनलाई हिच्‌किचाएनन्, खुलस्त भनी दिए, “म ख्रीष्ट होइन।”
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

21 यहूदीहरूले यूहन्नालाई सोधे, “तब तिमी को हौ? तिमा एलिया हौ?” यूहन्नाले उत्तर दिए, “होइन, म एलिया होइन।”यहूदीहरूले सोधे, “के तिमी अगमवक्ता हौ?”यूहन्नाले उत्तर दिए, “होइन, म अगमवक्ता होइन।”
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

22 तब यहूदीहरूले सोधे, “तब तिमी को हौ? आफ्नो विषयमा हामीलाई बताऊ कि जसले हामीलाई पठाए तिनीहरूलाई बताउन सकूँ। तिम्रो विषयमा तिमी के भन्छौ?”
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 यूहन्नाले तिनीहरूलाई अगमवक्ता यशैयाको वाणीहरू भने“मरूभूमिमा चिच्याई हिंड्ने मानिसको म आवाज हुँ, ‘परमप्रभुको निम्ति मार्ग सोझो बनाऊ भन्दै।”‘
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 ती यहूदीहरूलाई फरिसीरूले पठाएका थिए।
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

25 तिनीहरूले यूहन्नालाई सोधे, “यदि तिमी ख्रीष्ट होइनौ, एलिया होइनौं, अगमवक्ता पनि होइनौ भने किन तिमी मानिसहरूलाई बप्तिस्मा दिन्छौ?”
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

26 यूहन्नाले उत्तर दिए, “म पानीले मानिसहरूलाई बप्तिस्मा दिन्छु। तर एकजना मानिस तिमीहरूसंगै अहिले हुनुहुन्छ जसलाई तिमाहरू चिन्दैनौ।
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

27 ती एक मात्र मानिस जो मेरो पछाडि आउनुहुन्छ, जसको म जुत्ताको फित्ता खोल्ने योग्य सम्म छैन।”
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

28 यी सबै कुराहरू यर्दन नदीको अर्को स्थान बेथानीयमा भइसकेको हो। त्यो जहाँ यूहन्नाले मानिसहरूलाई बप्तिस्मा दिइरहेका थिए।
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
