The Gospel According to Saint John / Die Evangelie Volgens Sint Johannes (The Bible / Die Bybel)

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

1:1 In die begin was die Woord, en die Woord was by God, en die Woord was God.

1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

1:2 Dieselfde was in die begin by God.

1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

1:3 Deur Hom het alle dinge ontstaan, en sonder Hom het niks ontstaan wat ontstaan het nie.

1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

1:4 In Hom was die lewe, en die lewe was die lig van die mense.

1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

1:5 En die lig skyn in die duisternis, en die duisternis het dit nie oorweldig nie.

1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

1:6 Daar was 'n man van God gestuur, wie se naam Johannes was.

1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

1:7 Hy het tot 'n getuienis gekom om van die Lig te getuig, sodat almal deur Hom sou glo.

1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

1:8 Hy was nie die Lig nie, maar Hy is gestuur om van die Lig te getuig.
