Update to the below
It is

Capital Letter
including the Coptics It is not likely the Coptics were written in lower case –
so and the word was a god could not have been Translated that way.
All

in lower case CAME
Into being.

(60) Rolf Furuli "and the Word was a divine
being"
If I were to
translate the Bible for a group with no previous knowledge of it, I would use
an
idiomatic method, but I would follow your advise to translate
important words as uniformely
as possible. Because I see so much unnecessary
theological coloring of the text in the modern
versions, I guess I would be extremely careful to
render theologically important passages as
literal as possible. And the most important thing - I
would like to have an extensive apparatus
of footnotes, both giving textual variants and
alternative renderings. But I would not give
Louw & Nida's suggestions in a footnote
to Col 1:15,
because they in my view are completely unfounded, linguistically
speaking.
To John
1:1, however, I would use one of the following five renderings in the main
text,
and the four others in a footnote: "And the
Word was God", "and the Word was divine",
"and the Word was a divine being", "and the Word
was a god", "and god was the word".

Note
on the Translation of 1:1-2:
My translation
here is an attempt (maybe not completely successful?) to point out a curiosity
and difficulty in the original
Greek of John 1:1c, where the Evangelist writes,
"KAI ThEOS HN hO LOGOS."
If
the evangelist meant, "and the Word was God" (as it is often
translated, capital 'God',
in
the full Trinitarian sense of later Christianity), he probably would have written "
KAI hO LOGOS HN hO ThEOS" (or "KAI hO ThEOS HN hO LOGOS" –
essentially saying A=B or B=A). Instead,
he wrote "KAI ThEOS HN hO LOGOS,"
omitting the expected article "hO" in front of "ThEOS."
..
The
first difference/difficulty: Ancient Greek has
"definite articles" (in masculine, feminine,
and neuter forms - but all
equivalent to "the" in English), but it does NOT have any "INdefinite
articles"(English "a,
an"). In translation, we usually write "the" if the Greek noun
is preceded by
a definite article, while we
often (but not always) have to ADD the word "a" or "an" in
standard
English
when the definite article is missing in Greek (for example, "hO STAUROS" is
"the cross,
" while "STAUROS" alone is
"a cross"). So translating "KAI ThEOS HN hO LOGOS"
as "and the Word was a god" (as Jehovah's
Witnesses do) adds an indefinite article in
English
that is not explicit in the orinigal Greek text, and may or
may not be appropriate
in English translation.
A
second difference/difficulty: When ancient Greek texts
refer to "God" (ThEOS),
they usually include the definite
article in front, "hO ThEOS," even though
translating this
too literally sounds strange in
English. We usually just say "God," rather than "the God."
Thinking
of "hO ThEOS" as "the (one and
only) God" might help, but still, we do not normally
put the" in front of
"God." So most English translations simply drop the definite article
whenever
"hO ThEOS" refers to the Jewish
or Christian monotheistic "God." In contrast, in polytheistic
contexts, it is sometimes better to translate "hO ThEOS" as "the god"
(for example,
"He
went to the temple of the god" - implying a particular god, maybe Apollo,
from among the many gods in the
Greek pantheon).
..
So
what did the Evangelist mean in John 1:1c? He certainly did not
consider Jesus to be
just one "divine being"
or "deity" among many others. If he meant "divine" in this
broader sense,
he easily could have used the
related Greek adjective, "ThEIOS," rather than the noun
"ThEOS."
(See,
for example, the adjective "ThEIOS" used twice in 2 Peter
1:3-4, referring to
"divine power" and "divine nature"). Other
texts in John clearly show that the Fourth Evangelist
sees Jesus in a unique
relationship with God, calling him "the only-begotten son"
(TON hUION TON MONOGENH;
"in the name of the only-begotten son of God"
(EIS
TO ONOMA TOU MONOGENOUS hIOU TOU ThEOU;
referring to his glory "as of a father's only son"
(hWSMONOGENOUS PARA PATROS;
and even calling him "the only-begotten God" (MONOGENHS ThEOS;
another difficult phrase, with
several ancient textual variations).
To summarize: The Fourth Evangelist may not
yet have thought of Jesus as the
"second person of the Trinity" (theological language
that took several centuries to
develop in early Christianity -
itself strongly influence by this Johannine passage);
yet John
certainly thought of Jesus as "divine" or "deity" or
"god" in a unique sense,
not
merely "a god," or one deity among many. Exactly what he meant in
John 1:1c
may not be easy to understand,
and it is even harder to translate into English because
of the difficulties mentioned
above. So rather than fixate on any particular English translation,
even the best of which might confuse us or lead us astray, we
should try to continue deepening
our understanding of what John's entire Gospel says about
the uniquely close relationship of
Jesus and the Father.

John L. McKenzie, 1965 –
Dictionary of the Bible#
"Trinity.
In
the words of Jesus and in much of the rest of the NT the God of Israel
(Gk. ho theos)
is the Father* of Jesus Christ.
It is for this reason that the title ho theos, which now designates
the Father as a personal
reality, is not applied in the NT to Jesus Himself;
Jesus
is the Son of God (of ho theos). This is a matter of usage
and not of rule, and the noun
[Gk.
ho theos] is applied to Jesus a few
times.
"Jn 1:1 should rigorously be translated "the word
was with the God [= the Father],
and the word was a divine being."
Thomas invokes
Jesus with the titles which belong to the *Father, "My Lord and my
God"
(Jn 20:28). "The
glory of our great God and Savior" which is to appear can be the glory of
no other than Jesus (Tt
The
trinity of God is defined by the Church as the belief that in
God are three persons who subsist in one nature. The belief
as so defined was reached only
in the 4th and 5th centuries AD
and hence is not explicitly and formally a biblical belief.
The
trinity of persons within the unity of nature is defined in terms of
"person" and "nature"
which are Gk philosophical terms;
actually the terms do not appear in the Bible.
The trinitarian definitions arose as
the result of long controversies in which these terms and others
such as "essence" and
"substance" were erroneously applied to God by some theologians.
...
Without
an explicit formula the NT leaves no room to think that Jesus is Himself an
object of the
adoption which He communicates to others.
He knows the Father and reveals Him.
He therefore belongs to the
divine level of being; and there is no question at all about the
Spirit
belonging to the divine level of being. What is less clear
about the Spirit is
His
personal reality; often He is mentioned in language in which His personal
reality is not explicit.

A Note : 70 Different people or Bible Publishers in 70 different
situations recognize that was
God with
a CAPITAL G is not the universal translation of John 1:1.
And
this work has spanned many centuries and many countries!!
In
fact, this information makes it clear that what is orthodox is not
orthodox at all rather we see
that many translators realize
that God was telling us something very unique about Jesus in
John 1:1 and his relationship
with God. Many
translators let theology get in the way of truth -
here we see honest efforts to
show Gods word correctly translated.
May
we always seek
the pure truth of Gods word.
