John 1

Berean Standard Bible tier 2New Arabic Version (Book of Life) tier 3
BSB

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

NAV

1 فِي الْبَدْءِ كَانَ الْكَلِمَةُ، وَالْكَلِمَةُ كَانَ عِنْدَ اللهِ. وَكَانَ الْكَلِمَةُ اللهُ.

BSB

2 He was with God in the beginning.

NAV

2 هَذَا كَانَ فِي الْبَدْءِ عِنْدَ اللهِ.

BSB

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

NAV

3 بِهِ تَكَوَّنَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، وَبِغَيْرِهِ لَمْ يَتَكَوَّنْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا تَكَوَّنَ.

BSB

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

NAV

4 فِيهِ كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ. وَالْحَيَاةُ كَانَتِ نُورَ النَّاسِ.

BSB

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

NAV

5 وَالنُّورُ يُضِيءُ فِي الظَّلامِ، وَالظَّلامُ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ النُّورَ.

BSB

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

NAV

6 ظَهَرَ إِنْسَانٌ أَرْسَلَهُ اللهُ، اسْمُهُ يُوحَنَّا،

BSB

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

NAV

7 جَاءَ يَشْهَدُ لِلنُّورِ، لِكَيْ يُؤْمِنَ الْجَمِيعُ بِوَاسِطَتِهِ.

BSB

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

NAV

8 لَمْ يَكُنْ هُوَ النُّورَ، بَلْ كَانَ شَاهِداً لِلنُّورِ،

BSB

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

NAV

9 فَالنُّورُ الْحَقُّ الَّذِي يُنِيرُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ كَانَ آتِياً إِلَى الْعَالَمِ.

BSB

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

NAV

10 كَانَ فِي الْعَالَمِ، وَبِهِ تَكَوَّنَ الْعَالَمُ، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ الْعَالَمُ.

BSB

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

NAV

11 وَقَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى خَاصَّتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّ هَؤُلاءِ لَمْ يَقْبَلُوهُ.

BSB

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

NAV

12 أَمَّا الَّذِينَ قَبِلُوهُ، أَيِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاسْمِهِ، فَقَدْ مَنَحَهُمُ الْحَقَّ فِي أَنْ يَصِيرُوا أَوْلادَ اللهِ،

BSB

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

NAV

13 وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لَيْسَ مِنْ دَمٍ، وَلا مِنْ رَغْبَةِ جَسَدٍ، وَلا مِنْ رَغْبَةِ بَشَرٍ، بَلْ مِنَ اللهِ.

BSB

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.

NAV

14 وَالْكَلِمَةُ صَارَ بَشَراً، وَخَيَّمَ بَيْنَنَا، وَنَحْنُ رَأَيْنَا مَجْدَهُ، مَجْدَ ابْنٍ وَحِيدٍ عِنْدَ الآبِ، وَهُوَ مُمْتَلِىءٌ بِالنِّعْمَةِ وَالْحَقِّ.

BSB

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.’”

NAV

15 شَهِدَ لَهُ يُوحَنَّا فَهَتَفَ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي قُلْتُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّ الآتِيَ بَعْدِي مُتَقَدِّمٌ عَلَيَّ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُوْجَدَ».

BSB

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

NAV

16 فَمِنِ امْتِلائِهِ أَخَذْنَا جَمِيعُنَا وَنِلْنَا نِعْمَةً عَلَى نِعْمَةٍ،

BSB

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

NAV

17 لأَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ أُعْطِيَتْ عَلَى يَدِ مُوسَى، أَمَّا النِّعْمَةُ وَالْحَقُّ فَقَدْ تَوَاجَدَا بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

BSB

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.

NAV

18 مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ رَأَى اللهَ قَطُّ. وَلَكِنَّ الابْنَ الْوَحِيدَ، الَّذِي فِي حِضْنِ الآبِ، هُوَ الَّذِي خَبَّرَ عَنْهُ.

BSB

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

NAV

19 وَهذِهِ شَهَادَةُ يُوحَنَّا حِينَ أَرْسَلَ الْيَهُودُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْضَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ يَسْأَلُونَهُ: «مَنْ أَنْتْ؟»

BSB

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

NAV

20 فَاعْتَرَفَ وَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ، بَلْ أَكَّدَ قَائِلاً: «لَسْتُ أَنَا الْمَسِيحَ».

BSB

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

NAV

21 فَسَأَلُوهُ: «مَاذَا إِذَنْ؟ هَلْ أَنْتَ إِيلِيَّا؟» قَالَ: «لَسْتُ إِيَّاهُ!». «أَوَ أَنْتَ النَّبِيُّ؟» فَأَجَابَ: «لا!»

BSB

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

NAV

22 فَقَالُوا: «فَمَنْ أَنْتَ، لِنَحْمِلَ الْجَوَابَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أَرْسَلُونَا؟ مَاذَا تَقُولُ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ؟»

BSB

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.’”

NAV

23 فَقَالَ «أَنَا صَوْتُ مُنَادٍ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ: اجْعَلُوا الطَّرِيقَ مُسْتَقِيمَةً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ إِشَعْيَاءُ».

BSB

24 Then the Pharisees who had been sent

NAV

24 وَكَانَ هؤُلاءِ مُرْسَلِينَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ،

BSB

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

NAV

25 فَعَادُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ: «إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحَ، وَلا إِيلِيَّا، وَلا النَّبِيَّ، فَلِمَاذَا تُعَمِّدُ إِذَنْ؟»

BSB

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

NAV

26 أَجَابَ: «أَنَا أُعَمِّدُ بِالْمَاءِ! وَلكِنَّ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ،

BSB

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

NAV

27 وَهُوَ الآتِي بَعْدِي، وَأَنَا لَا أَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ أَحُلَّ رِبَاطَ حِذَائِهِ».

BSB

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

NAV

28 هَذَا جَرَى فِي بَيْتَ عَنْيَا، عَبْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ، حَيْثُ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ.

BSB

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!

NAV

29 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي رَأَى يُوحَنَّا يَسُوعَ آتِياً نَحْوَهُ، فَهَتَفَ قَائِلاً: «هَذَا هُوَ حَمَلُ اللهِ الَّذِي يُزِيلُ خَطِيئَةَ الْعَالَمِ.

BSB

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

NAV

30 هَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي قُلْتُ عَنْهُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ الآتِيَ بَعْدِي مُتَقَدِّمٌ عَلَيَّ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُوْجَدَ.

BSB

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

NAV

31 وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ وَلَكِنِّي جِئْتُ أُعَمِّدُ بِالْمَاءِ لِكَيْ يُعْلَنَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ».

BSB

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

NAV

32 ثُمَّ شَهِدَ يُوحَنَّا فَقَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ الرُّوحَ يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِهَيْئَةِ حَمَامَةٍ وَيَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْهِ.

BSB

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.’

NAV

33 وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ، وَلكِنَّ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي لأُعَمِّدَ بِالْمَاءِ هُوَ قَالَ لِي: الَّذِي تَرَى الرُّوحَ يَنْزِلُ وَيَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْهِ هُوَ الَّذِي سَيُعَمِّدُ بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ.

BSB

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

NAV

34 فَإِذْ شَاهَدْتُ هَذَا، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ هُوَ ابْنُ اللهِ».

BSB

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

NAV

35 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي كَانَ يُوحَنَّا وَاقِفاً هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً وَمَعَهُ اثْنَانِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ،

BSB

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

NAV

36 فَنَظَرَ إِلَى يَسُوعَ وَهُوَ سَائِرٌ فَقَالَ: «هَذَا هُوَ حَمَلُ اللهِ».

BSB

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

NAV

37 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ التِّلْمِيذَانِ كَلامَهُ تَبِعَا يَسُوعَ.

BSB

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?”

NAV

38 وَالْتَفَتَ يَسُوعُ فَرَآهُمَا يَتْبَعَانِهِ، فَسَأَلَهُمَا: «مَاذَا تُرِيدَانِ؟» فَقَالا: «رَابِّي، أَيْ يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَيْنَ تُقِيمُ؟»

BSB

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.

NAV

39 أَجَابَهُمَا: «تَعَالَيَا وَانْظُرَا». فَرَافَقَاهُ وَرَأَيَا مَحَلَّ إِقَامَتِهِ، وَأَقَامَا مَعَهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ؛ وَكَانَتِ السَّاعَةُ نَحْوَ الرَّابِعَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ.

BSB

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

NAV

40 وَكَانَ أَنْدَرَاوُسُ أَخُو سِمْعَانَ بُطْرُسَ أَحَدَ هَذَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ تَبِعَا يَسُوعَ، بَعْدَمَا سَمِعَا كَلامَ يُوحَنَّا،

BSB

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

NAV

41 فَمَا إِنْ وَجَدَ أَخَاهُ سِمْعَانَ، حَتَّى قَالَ لَهُ: «وَجَدْنَا الْمَسِيَّا» أَيِ الْمَسِيحَ.

BSB

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).

NAV

42 وَاقْتَادَهُ إِلَى يَسُوعَ. فَنَظَرَ يَسُوعُ مَلِيًّا إِلَى سِمْعَانَ وَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ سِمْعَانُ بْنُ يُونَا، وَلَكِنِّي سَأَدْعُوكَ: صَفَا» أَيْ صَخْراً.

BSB

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

NAV

43 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي نَوَى يَسُوعُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، فَوَجَدَ فِيلِبُّسَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «اتْبَعْنِي!»

BSB

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

NAV

44 وَكَانَ فِيلِبُّسُ مِنْ بَيْتَ صَيْدَا، بَلْدَةِ أَنْدَرَاوُسَ وَبُطْرُسَ.

BSB

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.”

NAV

45 ثُمَّ وَجَدَ فِيلِبُّسُ نَثَنَائِيلَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «وَجَدْنَا الَّذِي كَتَبَ عَنْهُ مُوسَى فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ فِي كُتُبِهِمْ وَهُوَ يَسُوعُ ابْنُ يُوسُفَ مِنَ النَّاصِرَةِ».

BSB

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

NAV

46 فَقَالَ نَثَنَائِيلُ: «وَهَلْ يَطْلُعُ مِنَ النَّاصِرَةِ شَيْءٌ صَالِحٌ؟» أَجَابَهُ فِيلِبُّسُ: «تَعَالَ وَانْظُرْ!»

BSB

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

NAV

47 وَرَأَى يَسُوعُ نَثَنَائِيلَ قَادِماً نَحْوَهُ فَقَالَ عَنْهُ: «هَذَا إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ أَصِيلٌ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ!»

BSB

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

NAV

48 فَسَأَلَهُ نَثَنَائِيلُ: «وَمِنْ أَيْنَ تَعْرِفُنِي؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «رَأَيْتُكَ تَحْتَ التِّينَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَكَ فِيلِبُّسُ».

BSB

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

NAV

49 فَهَتَفَ نَثَنَائِيلُ قَائِلاً: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَنْتَ ابْنُ اللهِ! أَنْتَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ!»

BSB

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.”

NAV

50 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «هَلْ آمَنْتَ لأَنِّي قُلْتُ لَكَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ تَحْتَ التِّينَةِ؟ سَوْفَ تَرَى أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا!»

BSB

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.”

NAV

51 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ السَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً، وَمَلائِكَةَ اللهِ يَصْعَدُونَ وَيَنْزِلُونَ عَلَى ابْنِ الإِنْسَانِ!»
