Yuhana 1
1 Uworsu ucizine Ligbulang wadiku, Ligbulanghe wadi nin Kutelle, a Ligbulanghe Kutelleri.
Originally, 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 originally, with God.
3 Imon vat iwa kye unuzu mere, nin dirume na imon irum duku ilenge na ina kye sa ame ba.
All things, through him, came into existence, and, without him, came into existence, not even one thing: that which hath come into existence,
4 Nanya mere ulai di, uleli ulaiye tutun unere nkanang nanit asuren vat.
in him, was, 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, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold.
6 Umong unit wa duku na iwa tughe unuzu kiti Kutelle, na lissame wadi Yuhana.
There arose 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.
The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him.
8 Na Yuhanere wadi nkanaghe ba, awa dak anan belle ubelle kanaghere.
He, was not the light, —but, that he might bear witness concerning the light,
9 Mininghere nkanang kidegen mongo na miwa cinu ucin dak nanya in yii mi durso ko uyeme unit.
It, was—The real light that enlighteneth every man—Coming into the world.
10 Awadi nanya inyee, unin uyee iwa kye unuzu mere, ana uyee wa yinin ninghe ba.
In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not.
11 Awadak kiti nanit me, na anit me wa sereghe ba.
Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.
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, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become, —unto them who were believing on 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—not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but—of God, were born.
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 pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory, —a glory, as an Only-begotten from his Father. Full of favour 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 beareth witness concerning him, and hath cried aloud, saying—the same, was he that said—He who, after me, was coming, before me, hath advanced; because, my Chief, was he.)
16 Bara unuzun kulnu me, vat tina seru ubolu kitine nbollu Kutelle.
Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour.
17 Bara iwa ni uduke kitin Musa, ubolu nin kidegen wa dak unuzu kitin Yesu Kristi.
Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence.
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 seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [him].
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 forth unto him, out of Jerusalem, priests and Levites, —that they might question him—Who art, thou?
20 Ayinna na asu mayardang ba, akawa nani “na mere Kristi ba.”
and he confessed, and did not deny, —and he 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.”
and they questioned him—What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith—I am not; The prophet, art, thou? and he answered—No!
22 Itunna iworoghe, “feghari, bara tinan belle alenge na i to nari? Uma woro nari fe ghari?
So they said unto him—Who, art thou? that, an answer, we may give, unto them who sent us, —What sayest thou, concerning 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 desert, make ye straight, the way of the Lord: according as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 Nene among duku na a Farisawa wa tu nani. I tiringhe, inin woroghe,
And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees;
25 “Iyaghari ta udin shintizunu anit nmyen andi na fe Kristi, sa Iliya, sa unan liru nin nu Kutelle ba?”
and they questioned him, and said unto him—Why, then, dost thou immerse, —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, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; —
27 Amere ulenge na ama dak kidung nighe. Na meng batin nbunku ti na kpatak me ba.”
after me, coming: —Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.
28 Iwa su ilenge imone in Baitanya nleli uwulun urdun, kikanga na Yuhana wa din shintu nanite ku nmyen.
These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
29 Ukurtunun nkwuiye Yuhana yene Yesu ku ucin dak kitime aworo, “Yeneng, Kukam Kutelle kongo na kuma yiru kulapin nyee!
On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith—See! 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, before me, hath advanced, because, my Chief, was he.
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 manifested unto Israel, therefore, came, I, in water, immersing.
32 Yuhane wa ti ushaida, “Nwa yene uruhu din tolsu unuzu kitene kani nafo kuwulung, uda lwa kiteneme.
And John bare witness, saying—I have gazed upon the Spirit, descending like a dove, out of 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 that sent me to immerse in water, he, unto me, said—Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding upon him, the same, is he that immerseth in Holy Spirit.
34 Meng yene, nkuru nna ushaida ulengene Usaun Kutelleari.”
I, therefore, have seen, and 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, again, was John standing, and, from among his disciples, two;
36 iyene Yesu ku adin cin, Yuhana woro, Yenen, uleliye Kuzara Kutelleari!”
and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith—See! the Lamb of God!
37 Anan katwa we naba wa lanza Yuhana ku din bellu nani, idofino Yesu ku.
and the two disciples hearkened unto 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?”
But Jesus, turning, and looking at them following, saith unto them—What seek ye? And, they, said unto him—Rabbi! which meaneth, when translated, Teacher, Where abidest thou?
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 unto them—Be coming, and ye shall see. They came, therefore, and saw where he abode, and, with him, they abode 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 that heard from John and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 A wa tu ase gwana me Simon aworoghe. “Tisse unan tuce” (Na ukpiliuwere 'Kristi').
The same findeth, first, his own brother Simon, and saith unto him—We have found the Messiah! which is, when translated, Anointed.
42 Ada nighe kitin Yesu, Yesu yenjenghe, aworo, “fe Simon, usaun Yuhana. Ima yiccu fi Kefas” (ukpiliuwe unnere 'Bitrus).
He led him unto Jesus. Jesus, looking at him, said—Thou, art Simon, the son of John, —thou, shalt be called, Cephas; which is to be translated, Peter.
43 Ukurtunun kuiye, Yesu wa di nin su ado Ugalili, ase Filibus ku a woroghe, “Dofini.”
On the morrow, he desired to go forth into Galilee. And Jesus findeth Philip, and saith unto him—Be following me!
44 Filibus wa nuzu Nbaitsada, kipin Andirawus nin Bitrus.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of 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 unto him—Him, of whom wrote Moses in the law, and the Prophets, have we found.—Jesus, son of Joseph, him from Nazareth!
46 Nataniyel woroghe, “Imonmong icine wasa inuzu Nnazareta?” Filibus woroghe, “da uda yene.”
And Nathanael said unto him—Out of Nazareth, can any good thing come? Philip saith unto 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 unto him, and saith concerning him—See! Truly, an Israelite, 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 unto him—Whence, dost thou, know, me? Jesus answered, and said unto 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, 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 unto him—Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? A greater thing than these, shalt thou see!
51 Yisa woro, “Ndin bellu minu kidegen, Ima yennu kitene kani npuno, nono kadura Kutelle din ghanju itoluso kitene Nsaun Nnit.”
And he saith unto him—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye shall see heaven—when set open, and, the messengers of God, ascending and descending unto the Son of Man.
