1In die begin was die Woord, en die Woord was by God, en die Woord was God.Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2Hy was in die begin by God.οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν.He was with God in the beginning. 3Alles het deur Hom ontstaan, en sonder Hom het nie een ding ontstaan nie. Wat ontstaan het,

Of: en sonder Hom het nie een ding ontstaan wat ontstaan het nie.

πάντα διʼ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ χωρὶς αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο οὐδὲ ἕν. ὃ γέγονενThrough Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. 4was lewe in Hom, en die lewe was die lig van die mense.

Of: In Hom was lewe.

ἐν αὐτῷ ζωὴ ἦν, καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἦν τὸ φῶς τῶν ἀνθρώπων·In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5En die lig skyn in die duisternis, en die duisternis het dit nie oorweldig nie.

Of: begryp.

καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει, καὶ ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβεν.The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6Daar het 'n mens verskyn, deur God gestuur; sy naam was Johannes.Ἐγένετο ἄνθρωπος ἀπεσταλμένος παρὰ θεοῦ, ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἰωάννης·There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John. 7Hy het gekom tot getuienis, sodat hy van die lig kan getuig, sodat almal deur hom kan glo.οὗτος ἦλθεν εἰς μαρτυρίαν, ἵνα μαρτυρήσῃ περὶ τοῦ φωτός, ἵνα πάντες πιστεύσωσιν διʼ αὐτοῦ.He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe. 8Hy was nie die lig nie, maar hy het gekom sodat hy van die lig kan getuig.οὐκ ἦν ἐκεῖνος τὸ φῶς, ἀλλʼ ἵνα μαρτυρήσῃ περὶ τοῦ φωτός.He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. 9Die ware lig, wat elke mens verlig, was besig om in die wêreld te kom.

Of: Die ware lig, wat elke mens verlig wat in die wêreld kom, was daar.

ἦν τὸ φῶς τὸ ἀληθινὸν ὃ φωτίζει πάντα ἄνθρωπον ἐρχόμενον εἰς τὸν κόσμον.The true Light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

10Hy was in die wêreld, en die wêreld het deur Hom ontstaan, en die wêreld het Hom nie geken nie.Ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἦν, καὶ ὁ κόσμος διʼ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ ὁ κόσμος αὐτὸν οὐκ ἔγνω.He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him. 11Hy het na Sy eie gekom, en Sy eie mense het Hom nie aangeneem nie.εἰς τὰ ἴδια ἦλθεν, καὶ οἱ ἴδιοι αὐτὸν οὐ παρέλαβον.He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12Maar almal wat Hom ontvang het, aan hulle het Hy die reg gegee om kinders van God te word, aan dié wat in Sy naam glo,ὅσοι δὲ ἔλαβον αὐτόν, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ἐξουσίαν τέκνα θεοῦ γενέσθαι, τοῖς πιστεύουσιν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ,But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God— 13wat nie uit bloede nie, en nie uit die wil van die vlees nie, en nie uit die wil van 'n man nie, maar uit God gebore is.

Letterlik: bloede.

οἳ οὐκ ἐξ αἱμάτων οὐδὲ ἐκ θελήματος σαρκὸς οὐδὲ ἐκ θελήματος ἀνδρὸς ἀλλʼ ἐκ θεοῦ ἐγεννήθησαν.children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God. 14En die Woord het vlees geword en onder ons gewoon, en ons het Sy heerlikheid aanskou, heerlikheid soos van 'n eniggeborene van die Vader, vol genade en waarheid.

Letterlik: Sy tent onder ons opgeslaan.

Καὶ ὁ λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν ἡμῖν, καὶ ἐθεασάμεθα τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, δόξαν ὡς μονογενοῦς παρὰ πατρός, πλήρης χάριτος καὶ ἀληθείας·The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

15Johannes getuig van Hom en roep uit en sê: “Dit was Hy van wie ek gesê het: ‘Hy wat ná my kom, het voor my geword, want Hy was eerder as ek.’”(Ἰωάννης μαρτυρεῖ περὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ κέκραγεν λέγων· Οὗτος ἦν ⸂ὃν εἶπον⸃· Ὁ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος ἔμπροσθέν μου γέγονεν, ὅτι πρῶτός μου ἦν·)John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’” 16Want uit Sy volheid het ons almal ontvang, en genade op genade.

Letterlik: genade in die plek van genade.

⸀ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ πληρώματος αὐτοῦ ἡμεῖς πάντες ἐλάβομεν, καὶ χάριν ἀντὶ χάριτος·From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace. 17Want die wet is deur Moses gegee; die genade en die waarheid het deur Jesus Christus gekom.ὅτι ὁ νόμος διὰ Μωϋσέως ἐδόθη, ἡ χάρις καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐγένετο.For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18Niemand het God ooit gesien nie. Die eniggebore God, wat in die boesem van die Vader is, Hy het Hom bekend gemaak.

Sommige manuskripte lees: die eniggebore Seun.

θεὸν οὐδεὶς ἑώρακεν πώποτε· ⸂μονογενὴς θεὸς⸃ ὁ ὢν εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ πατρὸς ἐκεῖνος ἐξηγήσατο.No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.

19En dit is die getuienis van Johannes toe die Jode priesters en Leviete van Jerusalem af gestuur het om hom te vra: “Wie is jy?”

Of: Judeërs; so ook elders in hierdie evangelie.

Καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ μαρτυρία τοῦ Ἰωάννου ὅτε ⸀ἀπέστειλαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἐξ Ἱεροσολύμων ἱερεῖς καὶ Λευίτας ἵνα ἐρωτήσωσιν αὐτόν· Σὺ τίς εἶ;And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?” 20En hy het bely en nie ontken nie, en hy het bely: “Ek is nie die Christus nie.”καὶ ὡμολόγησεν καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσατο, καὶ ὡμολόγησεν ὅτι ⸂Ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ⸃ ὁ χριστός.He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.” 21En hulle het hom gevra: “Wat dan? Is jy Elia?” En hy sê: “Ek is nie.” “Is jy die profeet?” En hy het geantwoord: “Nee.”καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτόν· Τί οὖν; ⸂σὺ Ἠλίας εἶ⸃; καὶ λέγει· Οὐκ εἰμί. Ὁ προφήτης εἶ σύ; καὶ ἀπεκρίθη· Οὔ.“Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” 22Hulle het dus vir hom gesê: “Wie is jy? Sodat ons antwoord kan gee aan dié wat ons gestuur het. Wat sê jy van jouself?”εἶπαν οὖν αὐτῷ· Τίς εἶ; ἵνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶμεν τοῖς πέμψασιν ἡμᾶς· τί λέγεις περὶ σεαυτοῦ;So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23Hy het gesê: “Ek is ’n stem van een wat in die woestyn roep: ‘Maak die weg van die Here reguit,’ soos die profeet Jesaja gesê het.”

Aanhaling uit Jesaja 40:3.

ἔφη· Ἐγὼ φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· Εὐθύνατε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου, καθὼς εἶπεν Ἠσαΐας ὁ προφήτης.John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”

24En hulle was deur die Fariseërs gestuur.

Of: En dié wat gestuur was, was uit die Fariseërs.

⸀Καὶ ἀπεσταλμένοι ἦσαν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων.Then the Pharisees who had been sent 25En hulle het hom gevra en vir hom gesê: “Waarom doop jy dan, as jy nie die Christus is nie, en ook nie Elia nie, en ook nie die profeet nie?”καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· Τί οὖν βαπτίζεις εἰ σὺ οὐκ εἶ ὁ χριστὸς ⸂οὐδὲ Ἠλίας οὐδὲ⸃ ὁ προφήτης;asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26Johannes het hulle geantwoord en gesê: “Ek doop met water. In julle midde staan Een wat julle nie ken nie,

Of: in water.

ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰωάννης λέγων· Ἐγὼ βαπτίζω ἐν ὕδατι· ⸀μέσος ὑμῶν ⸀ἕστηκεν ὃν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε,“I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know. 27Hy wat ná my kom, van wie ek nie waardig is om die riem van Sy sandaal los te maak nie.”

Sommige manuskripte lees: Dit is Hy wat ná my kom, wat voor my geword het, van wie ek nie waardig is om die riem van Sy sandaal los te maak nie.

⸀ὁ ὀπίσω μου ⸀ἐρχόμενος, οὗ ⸂οὐκ εἰμὶ⸃ ἄξιος ἵνα λύσω αὐτοῦ τὸν ἱμάντα τοῦ ὑποδήματος.He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.” 28Hierdie dinge het in Betanië gebeur, anderkant die Jordaan, waar Johannes besig was om te doop.ταῦτα ἐν Βηθανίᾳ ἐγένετο πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ὅπου ἦν ⸀ὁ Ἰωάννης βαπτίζων.All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29Die volgende dag sien hy Jesus na hom toe kom, en hy sê: “Kyk, die Lam van God wat die sonde van die wêreld wegneem!

Of: dra.

Τῇ ἐπαύριον βλέπει τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐρχόμενον πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ λέγει· Ἴδε ὁ ἀμνὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ αἴρων τὴν ἁμαρτίαν τοῦ κόσμου.The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30Dit is Hy van wie ek gesê het: ‘Ná my kom ’n man wat voor my geword het, want Hy was eerder as ek.’οὗτός ἐστιν ⸀ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐγὼ εἶπον· Ὀπίσω μου ἔρχεται ἀνὴρ ὃς ἔμπροσθέν μου γέγονεν, ὅτι πρῶτός μου ἦν·This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’ 31En ek het Hom nie geken nie, maar sodat Hy aan Israel geopenbaar kan word, daarom het ek gekom en met water gedoop.”κἀγὼ οὐκ ᾔδειν αὐτόν, ἀλλʼ ἵνα φανερωθῇ τῷ Ἰσραὴλ διὰ τοῦτο ἦλθον ἐγὼ ⸀ἐν ὕδατι βαπτίζων.I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.” 32En Johannes het getuig en gesê: “Ek het gesien hoe die Gees soos ’n duif uit die hemel neerdaal, en Hy het op Hom gebly.καὶ ἐμαρτύρησεν Ἰωάννης λέγων ὅτι Τεθέαμαι τὸ πνεῦμα καταβαῖνον ⸀ὡς περιστερὰν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἔμεινεν ἐπʼ αὐτόν·Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him. 33En ek het Hom nie geken nie, maar Hy wat my gestuur het om met water te doop, Hy het vir my gesê: ‘Die een op wie jy die Gees sien neerdaal en op Hom bly, dit is Hy wat met die Heilige Gees doop.’κἀγὼ οὐκ ᾔδειν αὐτόν, ἀλλʼ ὁ πέμψας με βαπτίζειν ἐν ὕδατι ἐκεῖνός μοι εἶπεν· Ἐφʼ ὃν ἂν ἴδῃς τὸ πνεῦμα καταβαῖνον καὶ μένον ἐπʼ αὐτόν, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ βαπτίζων ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ·I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ 34En ek het gesien en getuig dat hierdie die uitverkorene van God is.”

Sommige manuskripte lees: die Seun van God.

κἀγὼ ἑώρακα, καὶ μεμαρτύρηκα ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ⸀ἐκλεκτὸς τοῦ θεοῦ.I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God. ”

35Die volgende dag het Johannes weer daar gestaan, en twee van sy dissipels,Τῇ ἐπαύριον πάλιν εἱστήκει ⸀ὁ Ἰωάννης καὶ ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ δύο,The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. 36en hy het na Jesus gekyk terwyl Hy loop en gesê: “Kyk, die Lam van God!”καὶ ἐμβλέψας τῷ Ἰησοῦ περιπατοῦντι λέγει· Ἴδε ὁ ἀμνὸς τοῦ θεοῦ.When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!” 37En sy twee dissipels het hom hoor praat, en hulle het Jesus gevolg.καὶ ἤκουσαν ⸂οἱ δύο μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ⸃ λαλοῦντος καὶ ἠκολούθησαν τῷ Ἰησοῦ.And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. 38Maar Jesus het omgedraai en gesien hoe hulle Hom volg, en vir hulle gesê: “Wat soek julle?” En hulle het vir Hom gesê: “Rabbi” (wat vertaal beteken “Meester”), “waar bly U?”στραφεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ θεασάμενος αὐτοὺς ἀκολουθοῦντας λέγει αὐτοῖς· Τί ζητεῖτε; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· Ῥαββί (ὃ λέγεται ⸀μεθερμηνευόμενον Διδάσκαλε), ποῦ μένεις;Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?” 39Hy sê vir hulle: “Kom en julle sal sien.” Hulle het toe gekom en gesien waar Hy bly, en hulle het daardie dag by Hom gebly. Dit was omtrent die tiende uur.

Ongeveer vieruur die middag.

λέγει αὐτοῖς· Ἔρχεσθε καὶ ⸂ὄψεσθε. ἦλθαν οὖν⸃ καὶ εἶδαν ποῦ μένει, καὶ παρʼ αὐτῷ ἔμειναν τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην· ὥρα ἦν ὡς δεκάτη.“Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour. 40Andreas, die broer van Simon Petrus, was een van die twee wat van Johannes gehoor en Hom gevolg het.ἦν Ἀνδρέας ὁ ἀδελφὸς Σίμωνος Πέτρου εἷς ἐκ τῶν δύο τῶν ἀκουσάντων παρὰ Ἰωάννου καὶ ἀκολουθησάντων αὐτῷ·Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus. 41Hy vind eers sy eie broer Simon en sê vir hom: “Ons het die Messias gevind,” wat vertaal Christus beteken.εὑρίσκει οὗτος ⸀πρῶτον τὸν ἀδελφὸν τὸν ἴδιον Σίμωνα καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Εὑρήκαμεν τὸν Μεσσίαν (ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον χριστός).He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ). 42Hy het hom na Jesus gebring. Jesus het hom aangekyk en gesê: “Jy is Simon, die seun van Johannes; jy sal Kefas genoem word,” wat vertaal word as Petrus.

Sommige manuskripte lees: die seun van Jona.

Die naam beteken rots.

⸀ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν. ἐμβλέψας αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· Σὺ εἶ Σίμων ὁ υἱὸς ⸀Ἰωάννου, σὺ κληθήσῃ Κηφᾶς (ὃ ἑρμηνεύεται Πέτρος).Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).

43Die volgende dag wou Hy na Galilea vertrek. En Hy vind Filippus, en Jesus sê vir hom: “Volg My.”Τῇ ἐπαύριον ἠθέλησεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν. καὶ εὑρίσκει Φίλιππον καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἀκολούθει μοι.The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.” 44Filippus was van Betsaida, uit die stad van Andreas en Petrus.ἦν δὲ ὁ Φίλιππος ἀπὸ Βηθσαϊδά, ἐκ τῆς πόλεως Ἀνδρέου καὶ Πέτρου.Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter. 45Filippus het Natanael gevind en vir hom gesê: “Hom van wie Moses in die wet geskryf het, en die profete, het ons gevind: Jesus, die seun van Josef, dié van Nasaret.”εὑρίσκει Φίλιππος τὸν Ναθαναὴλ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Ὃν ἔγραψεν Μωϋσῆς ἐν τῷ νόμῳ καὶ οἱ προφῆται εὑρήκαμεν, ⸀Ἰησοῦν υἱὸν τοῦ Ἰωσὴφ τὸν ἀπὸ Ναζαρέτ.Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 46En Natanael het vir hom gesê: “Kan daar iets goeds uit Nasaret kom?” Filippus sê vir hom: “Kom en kyk.”καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ· Ἐκ Ναζαρὲτ δύναταί τι ἀγαθὸν εἶναι; λέγει αὐτῷ ⸀ὁ Φίλιππος· Ἔρχου καὶ ἴδε.“Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip. 47Jesus het Natanael na Hom toe sien kom en sê van hom: “Kyk, waarlik ’n Israeliet in wie daar geen bedrog is nie!”εἶδεν ⸀ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὸν Ναθαναὴλ ἐρχόμενον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ λέγει περὶ αὐτοῦ· Ἴδε ἀληθῶς Ἰσραηλίτης ἐν ᾧ δόλος οὐκ ἔστιν.When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.” 48Natanael sê vir Hom: “Waarvandaan ken U my?” Jesus het geantwoord en vir hom gesê: “Voordat Filippus jou geroep het, toe jy onder die vyeboom was, het Ek jou gesien.”λέγει αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ· Πόθεν με γινώσκεις; ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Πρὸ τοῦ σε Φίλιππον φωνῆσαι ὄντα ὑπὸ τὴν συκῆν εἶδόν σε.“How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.” 49Natanael het Hom geantwoord: “Rabbi, U is die Seun van God, U is koning van Israel.”ἀπεκρίθη ⸂αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ⸃· Ῥαββί, σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ, σὺ ⸂βασιλεὺς εἶ⸃ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.“Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50Jesus het geantwoord en vir hom gesê: “Omdat Ek vir jou gesê het dat Ek jou onder die vyeboom gesien het, glo jy? Jy sal groter dinge as hierdie sien.”ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ὅτι εἶπόν σοι ⸀ὅτι εἶδόν σε ὑποκάτω τῆς συκῆς πιστεύεις; μείζω τούτων ⸀ὄψῃ.Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.” 51En Hy sê vir hom: “Voorwaar, voorwaar, Ek sê vir julle: Julle sal die hemel geopen sien en die engele van God sien opklim en neerdaal op die Seun van die mens.”

Sommige manuskripte lees: Ek sê vir julle, van nou af sal julle die hemel geopen sien.

καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ⸀ὑμῖν, ὄψεσθε τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνεῳγότα καὶ τοὺς ἀγγέλους τοῦ θεοῦ ἀναβαίνοντας καὶ καταβαίνοντας ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
