John 1

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

1 فِي ٱلْبَدْءِ كَانَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ، وَٱلْكَلِمَةُ كَانَ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ، وَكَانَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱللهَ.

2 He was with God in the beginning.

2 هَذَا كَانَ فِي ٱلْبَدْءِ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ.

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

3 كُلُّ شَيْءٍ بِهِ كَانَ، وَبِغَيْرِهِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا كَانَ.

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

4 فِيهِ كَانَتِ ٱلْحَيَاةُ، وَٱلْحَيَاةُ كَانَتْ نُورَ ٱلنَّاسِ،

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

5 وَٱلنُّورُ يُضِيءُ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ، وَٱلظُّلْمَةُ لَمْ تُدْرِكْهُ.

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

6 كَانَ إِنْسَانٌ مُرْسَلٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱسْمُهُ يُوحَنَّا.

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

7 هَذَا جَاءَ لِلشَّهَادَةِ لِيَشْهَدَ لِلنُّورِ، لِكَيْ يُؤْمِنَ ٱلْكُلُّ بِوَاسِطَتِهِ.

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

8 لَمْ يَكُنْ هُوَ ٱلنُّورَ، بَلْ لِيَشْهَدَ لِلنُّورِ.

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

9 كَانَ ٱلنُّورُ ٱلْحَقِيقِيُّ ٱلَّذِي يُنِيرُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ آتِيًا إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ.

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

10 كَانَ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَكُوِّنَ ٱلْعَالَمُ بِهِ، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ ٱلْعَالَمُ.

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

11 إِلَى خَاصَّتِهِ جَاءَ، وَخَاصَّتُهُ لَمْ تَقْبَلْهُ.

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 وَأَمَّا كُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبِلُوهُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُلْطَانًا أَنْ يَصِيرُوا أَوْلَادَ ٱللهِ، أَيِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱسْمِهِ.

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

13 اَلَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا لَيْسَ مِنْ دَمٍ، وَلَا مِنْ مَشِيئَةِ جَسَدٍ، وَلَا مِنْ مَشِيئَةِ رَجُلٍ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱللهِ.

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 وَٱلْكَلِمَةُ صَارَ جَسَدًا وَحَلَّ بَيْنَنَا، وَرَأَيْنَا مَجْدَهُ، مَجْدًا كَمَا لِوَحِيدٍ مِنَ ٱلْآبِ، مَمْلُوءًا نِعْمَةً وَحَقًّا.

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 يُوحَنَّا شَهِدَ لَهُ وَنَادَى قَائِلًا: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي قُلْتُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي بَعْدِي صَارَ قُدَّامِي، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَبْلِي».

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

16 وَمِنْ مِلْئِهِ نَحْنُ جَمِيعًا أَخَذْنَا، وَنِعْمَةً فَوْقَ نِعْمَةٍ.

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

17 لِأَنَّ ٱلنَّامُوسَ بِمُوسَى أُعْطِيَ، أَمَّا ٱلنِّعْمَةُ وَٱلْحَقُّ فَبِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ صَارَا.

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 ٱللهُ لَمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ قَطُّ. اَلِٱبْنُ ٱلْوَحِيدُ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ فِي حِضْنِ ٱلْآبِ هُوَ خَبَّرَ.

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

19 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ شَهَادَةُ يُوحَنَّا، حِينَ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْيَهُودُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَهَنَةً وَلَاوِيِّينَ لِيَسْأَلُوهُ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ؟».

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

20 فَٱعْتَرَفَ وَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ، وَأَقَرَّ: «إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَنَا ٱلْمَسِيحَ».

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

21 فَسَأَلُوهُ: «إِذًا مَاذَا؟ إِيلِيَّا أَنْتَ؟». فَقَالَ: «لَسْتُ أَنَا». «أَلنَّبِيُّ أَنْتَ؟». فَأَجَابَ: «لَا».

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 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ، لِنُعْطِيَ جَوَابًا لِلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلُونَا؟ مَاذَا تَقُولُ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ؟».

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 قَالَ: «أَنَا صَوْتُ صَارِخٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ: قَوِّمُوا طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، كَمَا قَالَ إِشَعْيَاءُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ».

24 Then the Pharisees who had been sent

24 وَكَانَ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ،

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

25 فَسَأَلُوهُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «فَمَا بَالُكَ تُعَمِّدُ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَسْتَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ، وَلَا إِيلِيَّا، وَلَا ٱلنَّبِيَّ؟».

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

26 أَجَابَهُمْ يُوحَنَّا قَائِلًا: «أَنَا أُعَمِّدُ بِمَاءٍ، وَلَكِنْ فِي وَسْطِكُمْ قَائِمٌ ٱلَّذِي لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ.

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

27 هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي بَعْدِي، ٱلَّذِي صَارَ قُدَّامِي، ٱلَّذِي لَسْتُ بِمُسْتَحِقٍّ أَنْ أَحُلَّ سُيُورَ حِذَائِهِ».

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

28 هَذَا كَانَ فِي بَيْتِ عَبْرَةَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ حَيْثُ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ.

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 وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ نَظَرَ يُوحَنَّا يَسُوعَ مُقْبِلًا إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا حَمَلُ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي يَرْفَعُ خَطِيَّةَ ٱلْعَالَمِ!

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

30 هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي قُلْتُ عَنْهُ: يَأْتِي بَعْدِي، رَجُلٌ صَارَ قُدَّامِي، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَبْلِي.

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

31 وَأَنَا لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ. لَكِنْ لِيُظْهَرَ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ لِذَلِكَ جِئْتُ أُعَمِّدُ بِٱلْمَاءِ».

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

32 وَشَهِدَ يُوحَنَّا قَائِلًا: «إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ٱلرُّوحَ نَازِلًا مِثْلَ حَمَامَةٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فَٱسْتَقَرَّ عَلَيْهِ.

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 وَأَنَا لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ، لَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي لِأُعَمِّدَ بِٱلْمَاءِ، ذَاكَ قَالَ لِي: ٱلَّذِي تَرَى ٱلرُّوحَ نَازِلًا وَمُسْتَقِرًّا عَلَيْهِ، فَهَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُعَمِّدُ بِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ.

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

34 وَأَنَا قَدْ رَأَيْتُ وَشَهِدْتُ أَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ».

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

35 وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ أَيْضًا كَانَ يُوحَنَّا وَاقِفًا هُوَ وَٱثْنَانِ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِهِ،

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

36 فَنَظَرَ إِلَى يَسُوعَ مَاشِيًا، فَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا حَمَلُ ٱللهِ!».

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

37 فَسَمِعَهُ ٱلتِّلْمِيذَانِ يَتَكَلَّمُ، فَتَبِعَا يَسُوعَ.

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 فَٱلْتَفَتَ يَسُوعُ وَنَظَرَهُمَا يَتْبَعَانِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «مَاذَا تَطْلُبَانِ؟». فَقَالَا: «رَبِّي» ٱلَّذِي تَفْسِيرُهُ: يَا مُعَلِّمُ. «أَيْنَ تَمْكُثُ؟».

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 فَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «تَعَالَيَا وَٱنْظُرَا». فَأَتَيَا وَنَظَرَا أَيْنَ كَانَ يَمْكُثُ، وَمَكَثَا عِنْدَهُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ. وَكَانَ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ٱلْعَاشِرَةِ.

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

40 كَانَ أَنْدَرَاوُسُ أَخُو سِمْعَانَ بُطْرُسَ وَاحِدًا مِنَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ سَمِعَا يُوحَنَّا وَتَبِعَاهُ.

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

41 هَذَا وَجَدَ أَوَّلًا أَخَاهُ سِمْعَانَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «قَدْ وَجَدْنَا مَسِيَّا» ٱلَّذِي تَفْسِيرُهُ: ٱلْمَسِيحُ.

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 فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى يَسُوعَ. فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ سِمْعَانُ بْنُ يُونَا. أَنْتَ تُدْعَى صَفَا» ٱلَّذِي تَفْسِيرُهُ: بُطْرُسُ.

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

43 فِي ٱلْغَدِ أَرَادَ يَسُوعُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى ٱلْجَلِيلِ، فَوَجَدَ فِيلُبُّسَ فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱتْبَعْنِي».

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

44 وَكَانَ فِيلُبُّسُ مِنْ بَيْتِ صَيْدَا، مِنْ مَدِينَةِ أَنْدَرَاوُسَ وَبُطْرُسَ.

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 فِيلُبُّسُ وَجَدَ نَثَنَائِيلَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «وَجَدْنَا ٱلَّذِي كَتَبَ عَنْهُ مُوسَى فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ يَسُوعَ ٱبْنَ يُوسُفَ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلنَّاصِرَةِ».

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

46 فَقَالَ لَهُ نَثَنَائِيلُ: «أَمِنَ ٱلنَّاصِرَةِ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ شَيْءٌ صَالِحٌ؟». قَالَ لَهُ فِيلُبُّسُ: «تَعَالَ وَٱنْظُرْ».

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

47 وَرَأَى يَسُوعُ نَثَنَائِيلَ مُقْبِلًا إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ عَنْهُ: «هُوَذَا إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ حَقًّا لَا غِشَّ فِيهِ».

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

48 قَالَ لَهُ نَثَنَائِيلُ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ تَعْرِفُنِي؟». أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «قَبْلَ أَنْ دَعَاكَ فِيلُبُّسُ وَأَنْتَ تَحْتَ ٱلتِّينَةِ، رَأَيْتُكَ».

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

49 أَجَابَ نَثَنَائِيلُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، أَنْتَ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ! أَنْتَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ!».

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 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَلْ آمَنْتَ لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ لَكَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ تَحْتَ ٱلتِّينَةِ؟ سَوْفَ تَرَى أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا!».

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 وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مِنَ ٱلْآنَ تَرَوْنَ ٱلسَّمَاءَ مَفْتُوحَةً، وَمَلَائِكَةَ ٱللهِ يَصْعَدُونَ وَيَنْزِلُونَ عَلَى ٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ».
