Yohana 1
1 ni mumla itre a he u tre he ni ba chi u tre a hi bachi
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 iwayi a he rji ni mumla ni bachi
This one was in the beginning with God.
3 koge ba tie ni wa wuti ba na tie kpe ri na sei ni wawuyi
All things were made through him, and without him there was not one thing made that has been made.
4 ni uahi nou ivri he u viri a ka tie ipan ni indi wawu
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 ipan a lan ni mi bwu i bwu na ka ipan na
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
6 indi ri he wa bachi ton ndu wa ba yo di yahaya
There was a man who was sent from God, whose name was John.
7 aye toh na hla tre ikpan ni ndu indi wawu kpa yenme ni tu ma
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 a na yahaya ahi kpan na ama ndu ye toh kpan na hla
John was not the light, but came that he might testify about the light.
9 ikpan i njanji wa a no kpan ni indi wawu ani ye ni gbungbula
The true light, which gives light to all men, was coming into the world.
10 a he ni gbungbulu yi ba mei gbungbulu ni tuma indi bi gbungbulu bana toh na
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him.
11 aye ni bama u bima bana kpaa na
He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.
12 abi wa ba kpa na kpayenme ni indi ma abiki migen ano ba ikon ndu ba yo ba tie imiri rji
But to as many as received him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
13 wa ba na grji ni kon irji u yina ana nitie u kpa na ana tie u ndi na a hi tie rji
These were not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 ilan tre ka tie nma kpa na son mi mi buu wa aye rji ni irji na sh ni iko ni njaji
The Word became flesh and lived among us. We have seen his glory, glory as of the one and only who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 yahaya a hla ni tu ma da ni yo indi kpan kpan me nanihla ahe wayi i mi tre indi wa ani ye ni kogon mu a za me a he ri mi ka ye
John testified about him and cried out, saying, “This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, for he was before me.'”
16 ni tsara ma yi kikpa alheri ni tu alheri
For from his fullness we have all received grace after grace.
17 doka tre yi ye rji ni musa alheri ni njaji baye rji nikonyesu Amasihu
For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 ba iton wa idiori taba sa shishi ni irji indi wa ahi wawu yi kangrjima a hi nji iwa a kuyer ni kbu bachi rji wawuyi tsro u
No one has seen God at any time. The one and only God, who is at the side of the Father, he has made him known.
19 yahudawa ba lude ton ba ni firistici ni lawiyawa he niwu ni ni tu ba son miyen ahi wu nhan?
This is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 wa nhla ni bawu gerger ana kpa tron na wa si sa bawu adie ana imeyi me Almasihu na
He confessed—he did not deny, but confessed—”I am not the Christ.”
21 u ba miyen a hi wu nahn? ahi wu yi iliya? iwa tisan ana mena u tra ahi wuyi wu anabi? wa ti san aa
So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” They said, “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
22 ba miyenu a hi wu nha ki son ki hi hla ni biwa ba ton ta? u hla ta wu di geri ni tu me?
Then 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 wa hla mi lantre wa a bi tie ni kon irji nawa wandi anabi ishaya hla a
He said, “I am a voice, crying in the wilderness: 'Make the way of the Lord straight,' just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
24 bandi waba ton ba rji tarisawa ba he niba u ba miyen andi
Now some from the Pharisees were sent,
25 u ge mba sa u yin btsima ise una Almasihuna u na iliyana ko annabin?
and they asked him and said to him, “Why do you baptize then if you are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?”
26 yahaya se tre a bawu andi mi yi batsima ni ma indi ri k rli ni mibi wa bina toh na
John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water. But among you stands someone you do not know.
27 wawu yi ni ye ni kogon wa rjirji lagban ma nii kuyiron wa mi siwua
He is the one who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”
28 kpi biyi ni Bethany u ngbala rima u Jordan wa Yahaya a sia ti batisma mble
These things were done in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 ni bele ni virima yahaya toh yesu niwa natre yamba ige vreb nkrju irji iwa aban lah tre gbungbulua
The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look, there is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 iwayi ahi iwa mi bla ni yiwu ndi ndi wa asiye a zanme ahe guci nimu
This is the one of whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is more than me, for he was before me.'
31 mina toh na ama bana hla tsre ilawa ye miye ni yi batisma ni ma
I did not know him, but it was so that he could be revealed to Israel that I came baptizing with water.”
32 yahaya shedai andi mi toh ruhu asi grji na ingyu da ye niwu nituma
John testified, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it stayed upon him.
33 mina gani niwu na indi wa a tih me miyi batsima ni mima a hla nimu ko ahi nhan u toh ruhu a grji kuson niwu nituma ahi wawu yi a yin batisna ni ruhu u nja ji
I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, he is the one baptizing in the Holy Spirit.'
34 mitoh ni sheda ahi wawuyi vrena rji
I have both seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 kan vi nibela u ha ma u yahaya a kri ni hari ni mi almajeran ma
Again, the next day, as John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 u ba toh yesu a ka vuyaba ni hi u yahaya atre toh ba inge vren krju irji
they saw Jesus walking by, and John said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 u almajeran ma hari bawo naki da luwu yesu
His two disciples heard him say this and they followed Jesus.
38 u yesu kban ya da toh basiwu u wa a miye a ge bi son? u ba yo rabbi andi lu soro ni tseyi
Then Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What do you want?” They replied, “Rabbi (which translated means teacher), where are you staying?”
39 a hla bawu ye ni ye toh ubaye na ye toh bubu wa ani son u ba ka kuson niwu che chuku ni karfi wollon
He said to them, “Come and see.” Then they came and saw where he was staying; they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
40 iri ni miba biwa ba wo tre yahaya hi androwus vayi siman Bitrus
One of the two who heard John speak and then followed Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 a lude da wa vayi ma simanna hla niwu ki ka toh Almasihu
He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated is: Christ).
42 a nji ye ni yesu yesu ya da tre ahi wuyi u siman ivren yahaya? ba yo di kefas
He brought him to Jesus, and Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).
43 ni vikima wa yesu luni shirin u kugon hi nigalili u waka toh filibus da hla niwu luhume
The next day, when Jesus wanted to leave to go to Galilee, he found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Filibus ivren i jiji baitsida gbu ba andrawus ni bitrus
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 filibus ka same ni nata na ilu da hla niwu ki same niwu wa musa a nhan yo nimi attaura ni annabawa yesu ivren yusufu ba nazarat
Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, “He of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, we have found him: Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
46 natan ilu a hla niwu ba ya na fe kperi u ndi ndi ma ni Nazarat? filibus tre ye ni ye toh
Nathaniel said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 u yesu a toh matana ilu si ye niwa u wa tre tre nituma toh ba isra ilyi wa ana mirtan indi na he niwuana
Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and said about him, “See, a true Israelite, in whom is no deceit!”
48 natana u lu miyen u tie ni he mba ni toh me? u yesu a hla niwu mi toh ri u filibus yo u niwa a son ni chin mbuwa
Nathaniel said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 natana ilu yo ni rabbi u vren irji u chu israila ko
Nathaniel replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 yesu tre ni wa ni hla ndi me toh u ni chin mbuwa a kpayenme? u toh kpii wa ba nawayi babran
Jesus replied and said to him, “Because I said to you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than this.”
51 na hla njajimu njaji misi hla niwu utoh shulu bwu kri wuho malaku irjii ba si hon nani grji nitu vren indi
Then he said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
