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.
The same was 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 were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
4 Nanya mere ulai di, uleli ulaiye tutun unere nkanang nanit asuren vat.
In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
5 Nkanaghe na nuzu kanang nanya nsirti, a na nsirte na kata likara mining ba.
And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
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.
He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
8 Na Yuhanere wadi nkanaghe ba, awa dak anan belle ubelle kanaghere.
He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
9 Mininghere nkanang kidegen mongo na miwa cinu ucin dak nanya in yii mi durso ko uyeme unit.
The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
10 Awadi nanya inyee, unin uyee iwa kye unuzu mere, ana uyee wa yinin ninghe ba.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
11 Awadak kiti nanit me, na anit me wa sereghe ba.
He came to his own, and his own received him not.
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 received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, —to those who believed in 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 born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of 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.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only begotten of a father.
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 beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me hath gone before me; for he was before me.
16 Bara unuzun kulnu me, vat tina seru ubolu kitine nbollu Kutelle.
For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
17 Bara iwa ni uduke kitin Musa, ubolu nin kidegen wa dak unuzu kitin Yesu Kristi.
For the Law was given through Moses; grace and 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 hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
19 Ushadan Yuhanari ulele, kube na a Yahudawa wa tuu nin na Priest nin na Leviyawa id tiringhe, “Fe ghari?”
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
20 Ayinna na asu mayardang ba, akawa nani “na mere Kristi ba.”
And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, 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.”
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Itunna iworoghe, “feghari, bara tinan belle alenge na i to nari? Uma woro nari fe ghari?
They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what sayest thou of thyself?
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 “a voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord,” as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 Nene among duku na a Farisawa wa tu nani. I tiringhe, inin woroghe,
And they were sent from the Pharisees;
25 “Iyaghari ta udin shintizunu anit nmyen andi na fe Kristi, sa Iliya, sa unan liru nin nu Kutelle ba?”
and they asked him and said to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art 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 in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
27 Amere ulenge na ama dak kidung nighe. Na meng batin nbunku ti na kpatak me ba.”
he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal 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 took place in Bethany beyond 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 he seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh 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 cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
31 Na meng yininghe ba, una so nani inan dursoghe kitin nonon Israila unnare meng na dak ndin shintu anit nmyen.”
And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
32 Yuhane wa ti ushaida, “Nwa yene uruhu din tolsu unuzu kitene kani nafo kuwulung, uda lwa kiteneme.
And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode 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.'
And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
34 Meng yene, nkuru nna ushaida ulengene Usaun Kutelleari.”
And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
35 Tutung, ukurtunun kwui, na Yuhana wa yisin ligowe nin nanan katwa me naba,
On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
36 iyene Yesu ku adin cin, Yuhana woro, Yenen, uleliye Kuzara Kutelleari!”
and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
37 Anan katwa we naba wa lanza Yuhana ku din bellu nani, idofino Yesu ku.
The two disciples heard him speaking, 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?”
Jesus turning and seeing them following, saith to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi, (that is to say, when interpreted, Teacher, ) where dost thou dwell?
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 saith to them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he dwelt; and they abode 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 what John said, 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 findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)
42 Ada nighe kitin Yesu, Yesu yenjenghe, aworo, “fe Simon, usaun Yuhana. Ima yiccu fi Kefas” (ukpiliuwe unnere 'Bitrus).
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking upon him said, Thou art Simon, the son of John; thou shalt be called Cephas; (which signifieth Peter, that is, Rock.)
43 Ukurtunun kuiye, Yesu wa di nin su ado Ugalili, ase Filibus ku a woroghe, “Dofini.”
On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
44 Filibus wa nuzu Nbaitsada, kipin Andirawus nin Bitrus.
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city 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 findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.
46 Nataniyel woroghe, “Imonmong icine wasa inuzu Nnazareta?” Filibus woroghe, “da uda yene.”
And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith 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 to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
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 saith to him, Whence dost thou know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 Nataniyel kawa, “Rabbi, fe Usaun Kutelleari! Fere Ugo nan Israila!”
Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art 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, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? Thou shalt see greater things 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 saith to him, Truly, truly do I say to you, Ye will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
