John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

1 太初，道已经存在，道与上帝同在，道就是上帝。

2 He was with God in the beginning.

2 祂太初就与上帝同在。

3 Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.

3 万物都是借着祂造的 ，受造之物没有一样不是借着祂造的。

4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.

4 祂里面有生命，这生命是人类的光。

5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

5 光照进黑暗里，黑暗不能吞灭 光。

6 There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.

6 有一个上帝差来的人名叫约翰，

7 He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.

7 他作为见证人来为光做见证，叫世人可以借着他相信。

8 He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

8 约翰不是那光，而是那光的见证人。

9 The true Light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

9 那照亮世人的真光来到了世上。

10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.

10 祂来到世上，借祂而造的世界却不认识祂。

11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

11 祂来到自己的地方，自己人却不接受祂。

12 But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—

12 但所有接受祂的，就是那些信祂的人，祂就赐给他们权利成为上帝的儿女。

13 children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.

13 这些人不是从血缘关系生的，也不是从情欲或人意生的，而是从上帝生的。

14 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.

14 道成为肉身，住在我们中间，充满了恩典和真理。我们见过祂的荣耀，正是父独一儿子的荣耀。

15 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.’”

15 约翰为祂做见证，高声喊道：“这就是我以前所说的那位，‘祂在我之后来，却比我位分高，因为祂在我之前已经存在了。’”

16 From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.

16 从祂的丰盛里，我们一次又一次地领受了恩典。

17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

17 因为律法是借着摩西颁布的，恩典和真理则是借着耶稣基督赐下来的。

18 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.

18 从来没有人见过上帝，只有父怀中的独一上帝 把祂显明出来。

19 And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”

19 以下是约翰的见证。犹太人从耶路撒冷派祭司和利未人来查问约翰是谁。

20 He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”

20 约翰毫不隐瞒地说：“我不是基督。”

21 “Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”

21 他们问：“那么，你是谁？是以利亚吗？” 他说：“不是。” 他们又问：“你是那位先知吗？” 他说：“不是。”

22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

22 他们又追问：“你到底是谁？你自己说出来吧，我们好回复差我们来的人。”

23 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.’”

23 他就用以赛亚先知的话说：“我就是那个在旷野大声呼喊‘修直主的路’ 的人。”

24 Then the Pharisees who had been sent

24 法利赛人派来的那些人问他：

25 asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

25 “你既然不是基督，不是以利亚，也不是那位先知，那你为什么给人施洗呢？”

26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.

26 约翰答道：“我用水施洗，但在你们中间站着一位你们不认识的，

27 He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”

27 祂在我之后来，我连给祂解鞋带都不配。”

28 All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

28 这事发生在约旦河东岸的伯大尼，就是约翰给人施洗的地方。

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

29 次日，约翰看见耶稣走过来，就说：“看啊！上帝的羔羊，除去世人罪恶的！

30 This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’

30 我说过，‘有一个人在我之后来，却比我位分高，因为祂在我之前已经存在了。’这就是我说的那位。

31 I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”

31 我以前并不认识祂，现在我用水给人施洗，是要把祂显明给以色列人。”

32 Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.

32 约翰又做见证说：“我看见圣灵好像鸽子一样从天降下，住在祂身上。

33 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.’

33 我本来不认识祂，但那位差我来用水给人施洗的告诉我，‘你看见圣灵降下，住在谁身上，谁就是用圣灵给人施洗的。’

34 I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”

34 我看见了，便做见证：祂就是上帝的儿子。”

35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.

35 再次日，约翰和两个门徒站在那里，

36 When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

36 他看见耶稣经过，就说：“看啊！这是上帝的羔羊！”

37 And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

37 两个门徒听见他的话，便跟从了耶稣。

38 Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”

38 耶稣转过身来，看见他们跟着，便问：“你们想要什么？” 他们说：“老师 ，你住在哪里？”

39 “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.

39 耶稣说：“你们来看吧。”他们便跟着去看耶稣住的地方。那时大约下午四点，他们就住在耶稣那里。

40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.

40 听见约翰的话后跟从耶稣的两个人中，有一个是西门·彼得的弟弟安得烈。

41 He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).

41 他首先去找他哥哥西门，说：“我们找到弥赛亚了！”弥赛亚的意思是基督 。

42 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).

42 他带着西门去见耶稣。 耶稣看着西门，对他说：“你是约翰的儿子西门，你要叫矶法。”矶法的意思是彼得 。

43 The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”

43 又过了一天，耶稣决定去加利利。祂找到腓力，就对他说：“跟从我！”

44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.

44 腓力是伯赛大人，与彼得、安得烈是同乡。

45 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.”

45 腓力去找拿但业，对他说：“我们遇见了摩西律法和先知记载的那位！祂是约瑟的儿子，拿撒勒人耶稣。”

46 “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.

46 拿但业说：“拿撒勒能出什么好的？” 腓力说：“你来看看吧！”

47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”

47 耶稣看见拿但业走过来，就指着他说：“看啊，这是个真正的以色列人！他心里毫无诡诈。”

48 “How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”

48 拿但业问耶稣：“你怎么会认识我？” 耶稣答道：“你在无花果树下，腓力叫你之前，我就看见你了。”

49 “Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

49 拿但业说：“老师，你是上帝的儿子！你是以色列的王！”

50 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.”

50 耶稣说：“我说看见你在无花果树下，你就信我吗？将来你还要看见比这更大的事。

51 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.”

51 我实实在在地告诉你们，你们会看见天开了，上帝的天使以人子 为梯上上下下。”
