Is Moffat's translation of John 1:1 representative of the original?

The James Moffatt translation renders John 1:1 as:

THE Logos existed in the very beginning, the Logos was with God, the Logos was divine.

Acknowledging that the original autographs of Scripture are lost to us, is there warrant within the extant manuscripts to render this as "the Logos was divine" rather than "was God"?
