Comparative Translations
On fruman waes word, And thaet word waes mid Gode, And God waes thaet word. Thaet waes on fruman mid Gode. Ealle thing waeron geworhte thurh hyne, And nan thing naes geworht butan him.
Thaet waes lif the [that] on him geworht waes, And thaet lif waes manna leoht; And thaet leoht lyht on thystrum, And thystro thaet ne genamon:
(In the beginning was word, And that word was with God, And God was that word. That was in beginning with God. All things were made through him, And no thing was made without him. That was life that in him was made, And that life was mens light; And that light shone in darkness, And darkness that [light] did not take.)
In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God: and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by it, and without it, was made nothing, that was made. In it was life, and the life was the light of men, and the light shineth in the darkness, but the darkness comprehended it not.
1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2. The same was in the beginning with God.
3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
And the dove came to him again about eventide, and behold: There was in her mouth a leaf of an olive tree which she had plucked, whereby Noe perceived that the waters were abated upon the earth.
