Depends on what you want as they are very different... one is an object-oriented, high-level compiled programming language. One is a (slightly) object-oriented, server-side scripting language.

But either way, I recommend Java. It's a good way to get into programming and you'll easily pick up PHP/C++ and variety of other languages after.
