Yuhana 1
1 Uworsu ucizine Ligbulang wadiku, Ligbulanghe wadi nin Kutelle, a Ligbulanghe Kutelleri.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Ulengene, Ligbulanhe, wadi nin Kutelle uworsu ucizine.
He Himself existed in the beginning with God.
3 Imon vat iwa kye unuzu mere, nin dirume na imon irum duku ilenge na ina kye sa ame ba.
All things came to be by Him; that is, apart from Him not even one thing that has come into being came to be.
4 Nanya mere ulai di, uleli ulaiye tutun unere nkanang nanit asuren vat.
In Him was life, and the Life was the Light of mankind.
5 Nkanaghe na nuzu kanang nanya nsirti, a na nsirte na kata likara mining ba.
Now the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 Umong unit wa duku na iwa tughe unuzu kiti Kutelle, na lissame wadi Yuhana.
There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Awa dak nafo unan lin musu niyizi nba nbellen nkananghe, bara vat nan yinna nnuzu me.
This man came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
8 Na Yuhanere wadi nkanaghe ba, awa dak anan belle ubelle kanaghere.
He himself was not the Light but was to testify about the Light—
9 Mininghere nkanang kidegen mongo na miwa cinu ucin dak nanya in yii mi durso ko uyeme unit.
the true Light which illumines everyone who comes into the world.
10 Awadi nanya inyee, unin uyee iwa kye unuzu mere, ana uyee wa yinin ninghe ba.
He was in the world, the world that came into being by Him, yet the world did not know Him.
11 Awadak kiti nanit me, na anit me wa sereghe ba.
He came to His own things, yet His own people did not receive Him.
12 Nani, ngbardang na lenge na iwa serughe, alenge na iwa yining nin lissa me, kitimine awa yining nani iso nono Kutelle.
But, as many as did receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe into His name:
13 Alenge na iwa macu nani, na kumat nmii ba, na nin su kidowo ba, a na nin su nnit ba, iwa macu nani nane nin su Kutelleri.
who were begotten, not by blood, nor by the desire of the flesh, nor by the will of a man, but by God.
14 Nene, Ligbulanghe wa so kidowo, liso nanya bite. Tina yene ngongon me, nafo ngongon lenge na ana nuzu kitin Ncif, awa kulun cek nin bollu Kutelle a kidegen me.
So the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we observed His glory, glory of an Only-begotten, from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Yuhana wa su uliru litime a ghatina liwui kang aworo, “Amere ulenge na nwa woro, 'Ulenge na adin cinu kidun nighe, kamin meng, ame cikilari nighari.
John testified about Him and called out saying: “This is He of whom I said, ‘The One coming after me is now ahead of me, because He existed before I did.’”
16 Bara unuzun kulnu me, vat tina seru ubolu kitine nbollu Kutelle.
Now we have all received from His fullness, yes, grace upon grace.
17 Bara iwa ni uduke kitin Musa, ubolu nin kidegen wa dak unuzu kitin Yesu Kristi.
Because the Law was given through Moses; the Grace and the Truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Na umon na yene Kutelle nkon kubi ba. Ame unit urumari cas, ame litime Kutelle, ulenge na adi figirin Ncife, amere nati iyininghe.
No one has ever seen God. The Only-begotten Son, who exists in the bosom of the Father, He has interpreted Him.
19 Ushadan Yuhanari ulele, kube na a Yahudawa wa tuu nin na Priest nin na Leviyawa id tiringhe, “Fe ghari?”
Now this is John's testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Ayinna na asu mayardang ba, akawa nani “na mere Kristi ba.”
He confessed, he did not deny but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
21 I tiringhe, “Anife ghari? Fe Iliya?” Aworo, “Na meng amere ba” Iworo, fe unan liru nin nuu Kutelle?” Akawa naworo “Nanere ba.”
So they asked him, “What then, are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you ‘the Prophet’?” “No,” he answered.
22 Itunna iworoghe, “feghari, bara tinan belle alenge na i to nari? Uma woro nari fe ghari?
So they said to him: “Who are you?—so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 Aworo, 'Mere liwui longo na lidi kuculu nanya ntene: kyelen ucin mine nanya cikilari dert,' Nafo ubellu Ishaya unan liru nin nu Kutelle.”
He said, “I am ‘the voice of one calling out: “Make the Lord's road straight in the wilderness,”’ just as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 Nene among duku na a Farisawa wa tu nani. I tiringhe, inin woroghe,
Now those who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
25 “Iyaghari ta udin shintizunu anit nmyen andi na fe Kristi, sa Iliya, sa unan liru nin nu Kutelle ba?”
So they asked him saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor ‘the Prophet’?”
26 Yuhana kawa nani aworo, “Meng din shintizunu nani nmyen. Vat nin nani, nanya mine umong yissin ku ulenge na anung yirughe ba.
John answered them saying: “I baptize with water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.
27 Amere ulenge na ama dak kidung nighe. Na meng batin nbunku ti na kpatak me ba.”
He is the One coming after me who is now ahead of me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.”
28 Iwa su ilenge imone in Baitanya nleli uwulun urdun, kikanga na Yuhana wa din shintu nanite ku nmyen.
These things happened in Bithabara, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Ukurtunun nkwuiye Yuhana yene Yesu ku ucin dak kitime aworo, “Yeneng, Kukam Kutelle kongo na kuma yiru kulapin nyee!
The next day John sees Jesus coming toward him and says: “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
30 Amere ulenge na nna bellin minu, 'ulenge na adin cinu kidung nighe katin meng ku, bara awa yita ku ameng dutu.'
This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is now ahead of me, because He existed before I did.’
31 Na meng yininghe ba, una so nani inan dursoghe kitin nonon Israila unnare meng na dak ndin shintu anit nmyen.”
I did not know Him; but so that He should be revealed to Israel, that is why I came baptizing with water.”
32 Yuhane wa ti ushaida, “Nwa yene uruhu din tolsu unuzu kitene kani nafo kuwulung, uda lwa kiteneme.
And John testified saying: “I observed the Spirit coming down like a dove out of heaven, and He rested upon Him.
33 Na nwa yiningghe ba, ame ulenge na ana tuyi nshintu anite nmyene na woroi, 'kitenen nlenge na uma yenu uruhu ntolo uso litime, amere ulenge na ama shintu anit nanyan Ruhu ulau.'
Now I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, ‘The One upon whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting—this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 Meng yene, nkuru nna ushaida ulengene Usaun Kutelleari.”
So I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 Tutung, ukurtunun kwui, na Yuhana wa yisin ligowe nin nanan katwa me naba,
Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples.
36 iyene Yesu ku adin cin, Yuhana woro, Yenen, uleliye Kuzara Kutelleari!”
And seeing Jesus walking by, he says, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 Anan katwa we naba wa lanza Yuhana ku din bellu nani, idofino Yesu ku.
The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Yesu tunna a gitirno ayene idin dortughe a woro nani, “iyaghari idin nin suwe?” I kawaghe, “Rabbi (Unnare 'unan dursuzu niyerte), ussosin nweri?”
So turning and observing them following Jesus says to them, “What do you want?” So they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which translated means ‘Teacher’), “where are You staying?”
39 Aworo nani, “dan ida yene.” ida ida yene kite na assosin ku; iso ligowe nanghe lilone, bara kubi nikoro kulidi wa malu uti.
He says to them, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where He was staying, and stayed with Him that day—it was about the tenth hour.
40 Unwasamme nanya nan wabe na iwa lanza Yuhane din liru a tunna a dofino Yesu ku, Andirawusari wadi, gwanan Simon Bitrus.
One of the two who heard John and followed Him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 A wa tu ase gwana me Simon aworoghe. “Tisse unan tuce” (Na ukpiliuwere 'Kristi').
He first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated ‘Christ’).
42 Ada nighe kitin Yesu, Yesu yenjenghe, aworo, “fe Simon, usaun Yuhana. Ima yiccu fi Kefas” (ukpiliuwe unnere 'Bitrus).
And he led him to Jesus. Looking at him Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you will be called Cephas” (which is translated ‘Stone’).
43 Ukurtunun kuiye, Yesu wa di nin su ado Ugalili, ase Filibus ku a woroghe, “Dofini.”
The next day He decided to go to Galilee, so He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow me.”
44 Filibus wa nuzu Nbaitsada, kipin Andirawus nin Bitrus.
(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.)
45 Filibus se Nataniyel ku aworoghe, “Ulenge na Musa nanya nduka nin nanan liru nin nu Kutelle na yertu ubellen me tiseghe, Yesu, Usaun Yusufu kunan Nazaret.”
Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found the One of whom Moses in the Law—and also the prophets—wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph, from Natsareth.”
46 Nataniyel woroghe, “Imonmong icine wasa inuzu Nnazareta?” Filibus woroghe, “da uda yene.”
So Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Natsareth?” Philip says to him, “Come and see!”
47 Yesu yene Nataniyel ku din cinu udak kitime a lirina litime, “Yeneng, kunan Israila kidegen, ulenge na adinin kinu ba!”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and says about him, “There, a genuine Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”
48 Nataniyel woroghe, fe ta inyizari uyinni?” Yesu kawaghe aworo, kube na inin sossino litino kuca napau a Filibus dutu sa uyicilu fi, Nni yenefi.”
Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Nataniyel kawa, “Rabbi, fe Usaun Kutelleari! Fere Ugo nan Israila!”
In answer Nathanael says to Him: “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 Yesu kawaghe a woro, Bara na nworo fi. 'Nni yene fi litino kuca napau,' fe uni in yinna? Uma yenu imon nzikpu kibinai ididya na ikatin ilengene.”
Jesus answered and said to him: “You believe because I said that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater than these.”
51 Yisa woro, “Ndin bellu minu kidegen, Ima yennu kitene kani npuno, nono kadura Kutelle din ghanju itoluso kitene Nsaun Nnit.”
And He says to him, “I tell you (pl) most assuredly, later on you will see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of the Man.”
