Vangelo secondo Giovanni - John 1

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Εν αρχη ητο ο Λογος, και ο Λογος ητο παρα τω Θεω, και Θεος ητο ο Λογος.	1 In the beginning was the Word: the Word was with God and the Word was God.
2 Ουτος ητο εν αρχη παρα τω Θεω.	2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Παντα δι' αυτου εγειναν, και χωρις αυτου δεν εγεινεν ουδε εν, το οποιον εγεινεν.	3 Through him al things came into being, not one thing came into being except through him.
4 Εν αυτω ητο ζωη, και η ζωη ητο το φως των ανθρωπων.	4 What has come into being in him was life, life that was the light of men;
5 Και το φως εν τη σκοτια φεγγει και η σκοτια δεν κατελαβεν αυτο.	5 and light shines in darkness, and darkness could not overpower it.
6 Υπηρξεν ανθρωπος απεσταλμενος παρα Θεου, ονομαζομενος Ιωαννης?	6 A man came, sent by God. His name was John.
7 ουτος ηλθεν εις μαρτυριαν, δια να μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος, δια να πιστευσωσι παντες δι' αυτου.	7 He came as a witness, to bear witness to the light, so that everyone might believe through him.
8 Δεν ητο εκεινος το φως, αλλα δια να μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος.	8 He was not the light, he was to bear witness to the light.
9 Ητο το φως το αληθινον, το οποιον φωτιζει παντα ανθρωπον ερχομενον εις τον κοσμον.	9 The Word was the real light that gives light to everyone; he was coming into the world.
10 Ητο εν τω κοσμω, και ο κοσμος εγεινε δι' αυτου, και ο κοσμος δεν εγνωρισεν αυτον.	10 He was in the world that had come into being through him, and the world did not recognise him.
11 Εις τα ιδια ηλθε, και οι ιδιοι δεν εδεχθησαν αυτον.	11 He came to his own and his own people did not accept him.
12 Οσοι δε εδεχθησαν αυτον, εις αυτους εδωκεν εξουσιαν να γεινωσι τεκνα Θεου, εις τους πιστευοντας εις το ονομα αυτου?	12 But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believed inhis name
13 οιτινες ουχι εξ αιματων ουδε εκ θεληματος σαρκος ουδε εκ θεληματος ανδρος, αλλ' εκ Θεου εγεννηθησαν.	13 who were born not from human stock or human desire or human will but from God himself.
14 Και ο Λογος εγεινε σαρξ και κατωκησε μεταξυ ημων, και ειδομεν την δοξαν αυτου, δοξαν ως μονογενους παρα του Πατρος, πληρης χαριτος και αληθειας.	14 The Word became flesh, he lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory that he has from theFather as only Son of the Father, ful of grace and truth.
15 Ο Ιωαννης μαρτυρει περι αυτου και εφωναξε, λεγων? Ουτος ητο περι ου ειπον, Ο οπισω μου ερχομενος ειναι ανωτερος μου, διοτι ητο προτερος μου.	15 John witnesses to him. He proclaims: 'This is the one of whom I said: He who comes after me haspassed ahead of me because he existed before me.'
16 Και παντες ημεις ελαβομεν εκ του πληρωματος αυτου και χαριν αντι χαριτος?	16 Indeed, from his ful ness we have, al of us, received -- one gift replacing another,
17 διοτι και ο νομος εδοθη δια του Μωυσεως? η δε χαρις και αληθεια εγεινε δια Ιησου Χριστου.	17 for the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth have come through Jesus Christ.
18 Ουδεις ειδε ποτε τον Θεον? ο μονογενης Υιος, ο ων εις τον κολπον του Πατρος, εκεινος εφανερωσεν αυτον.	18 No one has ever seen God; it is the only Son, who is close to the Father's heart, who has made himknown.
19 Και αυτη ειναι η μαρτυρια του Ιωαννου, οτε απεστειλαν οι Ιουδαιοι εξ Ιεροσολυμων ιερεις και Λευιτας δια να ερωτησωσιν αυτον? Συ τις εισαι;	19 This was the witness of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to askhim, 'Who are you?'
20 Και ωμολογησε και δεν ηρνηθη? και ωμολογησεν οτι δεν ειμαι εγω ο Χριστος.	20 He declared, he did not deny but declared, 'I am not the Christ.'
21 Και ηρωτησαν αυτον? Τι λοιπον; Ηλιας εισαι συ; και λεγει, δεν ειμαι. Ο προφητης εισαι συ; και απεκριθη, Ουχι.	21 So they asked, 'Then are you Elijah?' He replied, 'I am not.' 'Are you the Prophet?' He answered, 'No.'
22 Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον? Τις εισαι; δια να δωσωμεν αποκρισιν εις τους αποστειλαντας ημας? τι λεγεις περι σεαυτου;	22 So they said to him, 'Who are you? We must take back an answer to those who sent us. What haveyou to say about yourself?'
23 Απεκριθη? Εγω ειμαι φωνη βοωντος εν τη ερημω, ευθυνατε την οδον του Κυριου, καθως ειπεν Ησαιας ο προφητης.	23 So he said, 'I am, as Isaiah prophesied: A voice of one that cries in the desert: Prepare a way for theLord. Make his paths straight!'
24 Οι δε απεσταλμενοι ησαν εκ των Φαρισαιων?	24 Now those who had been sent were Pharisees,
25 και ηρωτησαν αυτον και ειπον προς αυτον? Δια τι λοιπον βαπτιζεις, εαν συ δεν εισαι ο Χριστος ουτε ο Ηλιας ουτε ο προφητης;	25 and they put this question to him, 'Why are you baptising if you are not the Christ, and not Elijah, andnot the Prophet?'
26 Απεκριθη προς αυτους ο Ιωαννης λεγων? Εγω βαπτιζω εν υδατι? εν μεσω δε υμων ισταται εκεινος, τον οποιον σεις δεν γνωριζετε?	26 John answered them, 'I baptise with water; but standing among you -- unknown to you-
27 αυτος ειναι ο οπισω μου ερχομενος, οστις ειναι ανωτερος μου, του οποιου εγω δεν ειμαι αξιος να λυσω το λωριον του υποδηματος αυτου.	27 is the one who is coming after me; and I am not fit to undo the strap of his sandal.'
28 Ταυτα εγειναν εν Βηθαβαρα περαν του Ιορδανου, οπου ητο ο Ιωαννης βαπτιζων.	28 This happened at Bethany, on the far side of the Jordan, where John was baptising.
29 Τη επαυριον βλεπει ο Ιωαννης τον Ιησουν ερχομενον προς αυτον και λεγει? Ιδου, ο Αμνος του Θεου ο αιρων την αμαρτιαν του κοσμου.	29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming towards him and said, 'Look, there is the lamb of God that takesaway the sin of the world.
30 Ουτος ειναι περι ου εγω ειπον? Οπισω μου ερχεται ανηρ, οστις ειναι ανωτερος μου, διοτι ητο προτερος μου.	30 It was of him that I said, "Behind me comes one who has passed ahead of me because he existedbefore me."
31 Και εγω δεν εγνωριζον αυτον, αλλα δια να φανερωθη εις τον Ισραηλ, δια τουτο ηλθον εγω βαπτιζων εν τω υδατι.	31 I did not know him myself, and yet my purpose in coming to baptise with water was so that he might berevealed to Israel.'
32 Και εμαρτυρησεν ο Ιωαννης, λεγων οτι Ειδον το Πνευμα καταβαινον ως περιστεραν εξ ουρανου και εμεινεν επ' αυτον.	32 And John declared, 'I saw the Spirit come down on him like a dove from heaven and rest on him.
33 Και εγω δεν εγνωριζον αυτον? αλλ' ο πεμψας με δια να βαπτιζω εν υδατι εκεινος μοι ειπεν? εις οντινα ιδης το Πνευμα καταβαινον και μενον επ' αυτον, ουτος ειναι ο βαπτιζων εν Πνευματι Αγιω.	33 I did not know him myself, but he who sent me to baptise with water had said to me, "The man onwhom you see the Spirit come down and rest is the one who is to baptise with the Holy Spirit."
34 Και εγω ειδον και εμαρτυρησα, οτι ουτος ειναι ο Υιος του Θεου.	34 I have seen and I testify that he is the Chosen One of God.'
35 Τη επαυριον παλιν ιστατο ο Ιωαννης και δυο εκ των μαθητων αυτου,	35 The next day as John stood there again with two of his disciples, Jesus went past,
36 και εμβλεψας εις τον Ιησουν περιπατουντα, λεγει? Ιδου, ο Αμνος του Θεου.	36 and John looked towards him and said, 'Look, there is the lamb of God.'
37 Και ηκουσαν αυτον οι δυο μαθηται λαλουντα και ηκολουθησαν τον Ιησουν.	37 And the two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus.
38 Στραφεις δε ο Ιησους και ιδων αυτους ακολουθουντας, λεγει προς αυτους? Τι ζητειτε; Οι δε ειπον προς αυτον, Ραββι, το οποιον ερμηνευομενον λεγεται, Διδασκαλε, που μενεις;	38 Jesus turned round, saw them following and said, 'What do you want?' They answered, 'Rabbi' --which means Teacher-'where do you live?'
39 Λεγει προς αυτους? Ελθετε και ιδετε, ηλθον και ειδον που μενει, και εμειναν παρ' αυτω την ημεραν εκεινην? η δε ωρα ητο ως δεκατη.	39 He replied, 'Come and see'; so they went and saw where he lived, and stayed with him that day. It wasabout the tenth hour.
40 Ητο Ανδρεας ο αδελφος του Σιμωνος Πετρου εις εκ των δυο, οιτινες ηκουσαν περι αυτου παρα του Ιωαννου και ηκολουθησαν αυτον.	40 One of these two who became followers of Jesus after hearing what John had said was Andrew, thebrother of Simon Peter.
41 Ουτος πρωτος ευρισκει τον εαυτου αδελφον Σιμωνα και λεγει προς αυτον. Ευρηκαμεν τον Μεσσιαν, το οποιον μεθερμηνευομενον ειναι ο Χριστος.	41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother and say to him, 'We have found the Messiah' -- whichmeans the Christ-
42 Και εφερεν αυτον προς τον Ιησουν. Εμβλεψας δε εις αυτον ο Ιησους ειπε? Συ εισαι Σιμων, ο υιος του Ιωνα? συ θελεις ονομασθη Κηφας, το οποιον ερμηνευεται Πετρος.	42 and he took Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, 'You are Simon son of John; you are to becal ed Cephas' -- which means Rock.
43 Τη επαυριον ηθελησεν ο Ιησους να εξελθη εις την Γαλιλαιαν? και ευρισκει τον Φιλιππον και λεγει προς αυτον? Ακολουθει μοι.	43 The next day, after Jesus had decided to leave for Galilee, he met Philip and said, 'Follow me.'
44 Ητο δε ο Φιλιππος απο Βηθσαιδα, εκ της πολεως Ανδρεου και Πετρου.	44 Philip came from the same town, Bethsaida, as Andrew and Peter.
45 Ευρισκει Φιλιππος τον Ναθαναηλ και λεγει προς αυτον? Εκεινον τον οποιον εγραψεν ο Μωυσης εν τω νομω και οι προφηται ευρηκαμεν, Ιησουν τον υιον του Ιωσηφ τον απο Ναζαρετ.	45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, 'We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and theprophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.'
46 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ναθαναηλ? Εκ Ναζαρετ δυναται να προελθη τι αγαθον; Λεγει προς αυτον ο Φιλιππος, Ερχου και ιδε.	46 Nathanael said to him, 'From Nazareth? Can anything good come from that place?' Philip replied,'Come and see.'
47 Ειδεν ο Ιησους τον Ναθαναηλ ερχομενον προς αυτον και λεγει περι αυτου? Ιδου, αληθως Ισραηλιτης, εις τον οποιον δολος δεν υπαρχει.	47 When Jesus saw Nathanael coming he said of him, 'There, truly, is an Israelite in whom there is nodeception.'
48 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Ναθαναηλ? Ποθεν με γινωσκεις; Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτον? Πριν ο Φιλιππος σε φωναξη, οντα υποκατω της συκης, ειδον σε.	48 Nathanael asked, 'How do you know me?' Jesus replied, 'Before Philip came to call you, I saw youunder the fig tree.'
49 Απεκριθη ο Ναθαναηλ και λεγει προς αυτον? Ραββι, συ εισαι ο Υιος του Θεου, συ εισαι ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ.	49 Nathanael answered, 'Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the king of Israel.'
50 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτον? Επειδη σοι ειπον? ειδον σε υποκατω της συκης, πιστευεις; μεγαλητερα τουτων θελεις ιδει.	50 Jesus replied, 'You believe that just because I said: I saw you under the fig tree. You are going to seegreater things than that.'
51 Και λεγει προς αυτον? Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω? απο του νυν θελετε ιδει τον ουρανον ανεωγμενον και τους αγγελους του Θεου αναβαινοντας και καταβαινοντας επι τον Υιον του ανθρωπου.	51 And then he added, 'In al truth I tel you, you will see heaven open and the angels of God ascendingand descending over the Son of man.'
