The West Saxon translation is in old english:
1 On FRYMÐ WÆ word & þt word wæs mid gode & god wæs þt word.
2 þt wæs on fruman mid gode
3 ealle þing wæron geworhte ðurh hyne & nan þing næs geworht butan him.
4 þt wæs lïf þe on him geworht wæs. & þt lïf wæs manna leoht
5 & þt leoht lyht on ðystrum. & þystro þt ne genamon;
6 Mann wæs fram gode asend. þæs nama wæs iohannes.
7 ðes cöm to gewitnesse. þt he gewitnesse cyðde be ðam leohte. þt ealle menn þurh hyne gelyfdon;
8 Næs he leoht. ac þt he gewitnesse forð-bære be þam leohte;
9 Soð leoht wæs. þt onlyht ælcne cumendne man on þisne middan-eard.
10 he wæs on middan-earde. & middan-eard wæs geworht þurh hine. & middan-eard hine ne ge-cneow;
The Wycliff edition was written in middle english:
1 In the bigynnyng was the word, and the word was at God, and God was the word.
2 This was in the bigynnyng at God.
3 Alle thingis weren maad bi hym, and withouten hym was maad no thing, that thing that was maad.
4 In hym was lijf, and the lijf was the liyt of men; and the liyt schyneth in derknessis,
5 and derknessis comprehendiden not it.
6 A man was sent fro God, to whom the name was Joon.
7 This man cam in to witnessyng, that he schulde bere witnessing of the liyt, that alle men schulden bileue bi hym.
8 He was not the liyt, but that he schulde bere witnessing of the liyt.
9 There was a very liyt, which liytneth ech man that cometh in to this world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was maad bi hym, and the world knew hym not.
The original Douai was written in early modern english (1582).
1 IN THE beginning vvas the WORD, and the WORD vvas vvith God, and God vvas the WORD.
2 This vvas in the beginning vvith God.
3 Al things vvere made by him: and vvithout him vvas made nothing. That vvhich vvas made,
4 in him vvas life, and the life vvas the light of men:
5 and the light fhineth in darkeneffe, and darkeneffe did not comprehend it.
6 There vvas a man fent from God, wwhofe name vvas Iohn.
7 This man came for teftimonie: to giue teftimonie of the light, that al might beleeue through him.
8 He vvas not the light, but to giue teftimonie of the light.
9 It vvas the true light, vvhich lighteneth euery man that commeth into this vvorld.
10 He vvas in the vvorld, and the vvorld vvas made by him, and the vvorld knevv him not.
The Challoner edition of the Douai was written in modern english in the mid 1700’s:
[John 1]
{1:1} In the beginning was the Word: and the Word was with God: and the Word was God.
{1:2} The same was in the beginning with God.
{1:3} All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made.
{1:4} In him was life: and the life was the light of men.
{1:5} And the light shineth in darkness: and the darkness did not comprehend it.
{1:6} There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
{1:7} This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him.
{1:8} He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light.
{1:9} That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.
{1:10} He was in the world: and the world was made by him: and the world knew him not.

); as a plus, it’s a bit more readable than the (much more literal IMO) New American Standard Bible.
