Valentinian Gnosticism is part of Orthodox Christianity, in case everyone needs to know.No, no English translation teaches this, unless it is some really obscure one that very few fringe sects adhere to. All the main English translations teach that the Word is a person who was in intimate relationship with God from all eternity, meaning that the Word is also God in nature.
For Valentinus says he saw a newborn babe, and questioned it to find out who it was. And the babe answered him saying that it was the Word. Thereupon, he adds to this a certain pompous tale, intending to derive from this his attempt at a sect.
