Greetings all!
It is a tradition in our parish(and perhaps most parishes, I'm not sure how far this goes) to have the Gospel reading - the Prologue of St. John's Gospel(John 1:1-16), in as many different languages as possible. I need help finding a few translations and thought that perhaps others mind find this useful. What I really need is the gospel in Gaelic and Arabic. Here are a few other translations:
English (RSV)
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 He was in the beginning with God;
Joh 1:3 all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Joh 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Joh 1:7 He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him.
Joh 1:8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light.
Joh 1:9 The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world.
Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not.
Joh 1:11 He came to his own home, and his own people received him not.
Joh 1:12 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God;
Joh 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.
Joh 1:15 (John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'")
Joh 1:16 And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace.
French (Louis Segond)
Jean 1
1 Au commencement +¬tait la Parole, et la Parole +¬tait avec Dieu, et la Parole +¬tait Dieu.
2 Elle +¬tait au commencement avec Dieu.
3 Toutes choses ont +¬t+¬ faites par elle, et rien de ce qui a +¬t+¬ fait n'a +¬t+¬ fait sans elle.
4 En elle +¬tait la vie, et la vie +¬tait la lumi+¿re des hommes.
5 La lumi+¿re luit dans les t+¬n+¿bres, et les t+¬n+¿bres ne l'ont point re+ºue.
6 Il y eut un homme envoy+¬ de Dieu: son nom +¬tait Jean.
7 Il vint pour servir de t+¬moin, pour rendre t+¬moignage +á la lumi+¿re, afin que tous crussent par lui.
8 Il n'+¬tait pas la lumi+¿re, mais il parut pour rendre t+¬moignage +á la lumi+¿re.
9 Cette lumi+¿re +¬tait la v+¬ritable lumi+¿re, qui, en venant dans le monde, +¬claire tout homme.
10 Elle +¬tait dans le monde, et le monde a +¬t+¬ fait par elle, et le monde ne l'a point connue.
11 Elle est venue chez les siens, et les siens ne l'ont point re+ºue.
12 Mais +á tous ceux qui l'ont re+ºue, +á ceux qui croient en son nom, elle a donn+¬ le pouvoir de devenir enfants de Dieu, lesquels sont n+¬s,
13 non du sang, ni de la volont+¬ de la chair, ni de la volont+¬ de l'homme, mais de Dieu.
14 Et la parole a +¬t+¬ faite chair, et elle a habit+¬ parmi nous, pleine de gr+óce et de v+¬rit+¬; et nous avons contempl+¬ sa gloire, une gloire comme la gloire du Fils unique venu du P+¿re.
15 Jean lui a rendu t+¬moignage, et s'est +¬cri+¬: C'est celui dont j'ai dit: Celui qui vient apr+¿s moi m'a pr+¬c+¬d+¬, car il +¬tait avant moi.
16 Et nous avons tous re+ºu de sa pl+¬nitude, et gr+óce pour gr+óce;

I found the Arabic
