John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Hula ahwande hwa hali izu lyali pamo no Ngolobhe, izu ali yo Ngolobhe.
2 This man was in the beginning with God.
Eli, Ezu, Nalya handaga lyali pamo no Ngolobhe.
3 All things came to be through him, and apart from him not even one thing came to be that has come to be.
Evintu vyonti vyabhombeshe ashilile omwene, asibhe omweje na hamo ata hantu hamo hahabhombeshe.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Muhati yakwe mwali no womi, na wope owomi wali lukhozyo lwa bhantu bhonti.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Olukhozyo lwakholaga munkisi, enkisi yapotilwe aluzimye.
6 A man came to be who was sent from God, his name was John.
Pahali omuntu watumwilwe afume hwa Ngolobhe, ola itawa lyakwe ali yo Yohana.
7 This man came for testimony so that he might testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.
Ahanzele nanshi keeti ahakikisye ahusu olukhozyo, aje bhonti nkabhapate ahweteshele ashilile hwamwene.
8 That man was not the light, but that he might testify about the light.
O Yohana sagali lukhozyo, ila ahenzele nkahakikisye ahusu lula olukozyo.
9 He was the true light coming into the world that enlightens every man.
Esho alilukhozyo lwelyoli lula lwalwahenzaga munsi lyope lwapanga shila muntu.
10 He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, and the world knew him not.
munsi, na ensi yabhombwelwe ashilile omwahale, na ensi seyamenye.
11 He came to his own, and his own did not accept him.
Ahaenzele hwabhantu bhakwe, na awantu wakwe na abhantu wakwe sebhaposheye.
12 But as many as did accept him, to them he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name,
Ila hwabhala abhinji bhabhaposheye, bhabhahetesheye itawa lyakwe, nebho abhapiye elyoli eyaje bhana bha Ngolobhe,
13 who were begotten, not from blood, nor from a will of flesh, nor from a will of man, but from God.
Bhabhapepwe, se hwidanda, wala hulusongwo lwe bele, sio olusongwo lwa muntu, ila lwa Ngolobhe yoyo.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. And we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Lyope izu lyabhoshe lwebele na lyakhala muhati yeetu, tiulolile oumwamu wakwe, oumwamu nashi wa muntu mwene wahenzele afume hwa Daada, amemile uwene ne lyoli.
15 John testified about him, and cried out, saying, This was he of whom I said, He who comes after me came to be before me, because he was before me.
O Yohana ahakikizye ahusu omwene, na afumizye izu ayanje, “Ono yayola wanayanjile enongwa zyakwe najile, “Ola wayenza pamande yane yo gosi ashile ane, afuatanaje ahali kabla yaline.”
16 And from his fullness we all received, even grace for grace.
Afuatanaje ashilile oluu golosu lwake, ate tenti tiposheye wene eshipawa baadaye shipawa.
17 Because the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came to be through Jesus Christ.
Afuatanaje endajizo zyaliletilwe ashilile oMusa. Ewene ne lyoli vyahenzele ashilile oYesu Kilisti.
18 No man has ever seen God. The only begotten Son, being in the bosom of the Father, that man reported him.
Nomo omuntu walolile Ongolobhe omuda gwagwonti. Omuntu mwene ambayo yo Ngolobhe, walipashifubha sha Daada, abhombile aje omwene amanyishe.
19 And this is the testimony of John when the Jews sent forth priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they might ask him, Who are thou?
Na olu luhakikisyo lwa Yohana lula adimi na lawi bhabhatumwilwe hwa mwene na Yahudi ahubhozye, “Aje awe wenanu?”
20 And he confessed, and did not deny, and confessed, I am not the Christ.
Bila asyoshe syoshe saga akhene, aje “Anesene Kilisiti.”
21 And they asked him, What therefore, are thou Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
Esho bhabhaozyezye, “eshi awe we nanu esalezi?” We Eliya? Ajile, “Ane see yayoyo.” Wajile we kuwaa? Ajile,” Hagha.”
22 They said therefore to him, Who are thou, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do thou say about thyself?
Antele bhabhozya, “Wee nanu, aje nkati bhapele ijibu bhabhatitumile”? Uhwihakikisya bhole wewe humwene?”
23 He said, I am the voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, just as the prophet Isaiah said.
Waga, “Ane ne lizu lyakwe walila mwipoli: 'Golosyaji idala lya Ngolobhe,' na okuwa oIsaya shayanjile.”
24 And those who were sent were from the Pharisees.
Eshi bhahali abhantu bhatumwile na Mafalisayo. Bhabhozyezya aje,
25 And they asked him, and said to him, Why therefore do thou immerse if thou are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?
“Yenu ohwozya eshi nkashewe Kilisiti wala see we Eliya okuwaa?”
26 John answered them, saying, I immerse in water, but amidst you stands him whom ye know not.
O Yohana abhabhozyezye ajile, “Embozya hu menze. Ata sheshi mhati yenyu ahwemelela omuntu wa semumenye amwe.
27 He is the man who comes after me, who has become before me, of whom I am not worthy that I might loosen the strap of his shoe.
Onu ndiyo wanzahwenze pamande yaline. Ane sihwanziwa alegezye ekamba zye vilato.”
28 These things occurred in Bethany beyond the Jordan where John was immersing.
Enongwa ezi zyabhombeshe ohwo hu Bethania, hwisyela lye Yordani, esehemu ambayo oYohana alihwozya.
29 On the morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and he says, Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
Isiku lyalyafwatile oYohana alolile uYesu ahwenza hwa mwene ajile, “Enya mwanangole wa Ngolobhe wahwega embibhi zya munsi!
30 This is he about whom I said, After me comes a man who has become before me, because he was before me.
ono yayola wana yanjile enongwa zyakwe najile, “Omwene wayenza hwi akhosi yane yo gosi ashile ane, afwatanaje ali hwitazi lyaline.'
31 And I had not known him, but that he would be made known to Israel. Because of this I came immersing in water.
Senamenye omwene, ila shabhombeshe esho aje nkobheneshe mu Israeli, aje nahenzele nabhozyaga na menze.”
32 And John testified, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him.
O Yohana ahakikisizye, “Aje nalolile Ompepo ahwiha afume amwanya ofwana ngwe njebha, yasageye pamwanya yakwe.
33 And I had not known him. But he who sent me to immerse in water, he said to me, Upon whomever thou will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, this is he who immerses in the Holy Spirit.
Ane senamenye ila omwene wantumile aje enozyaje na menze ambozyezye, 'ola wobhalole empempo ehwiha na khale pamwanya yakwe, Oyo waibhozya hwo Mpepo Ofinjile.'
34 And I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.
Endolile na ehakikisizye aje ono Mwana wa Ngolobhe.”
35 Again on the morrow John stood, and two of his disciples.
Nantele isiku lyalyafuatile oYohana ali ayemeleye pandwemo na bhanafunzi bhakwe bhabhele,
36 And having looked upon Jesus walking, he says, Behold, the Lamb of God!
bhalolile oYesu ajenda no Yohana ajile, “Enyaji, Omwana ngole wa Ngolobhe!”
37 And the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
bhabhele bhamwonvwezye oYohana nayanga ega bhafuatile oYesu.
38 And Jesus having turned, and having seen them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which says, being interpreted, Teacher), where do thou dwell?
Nantele oYesu agalushe na bhalole abhanafunzi bhala bhahulondolela, nabhabhozye, “Mhwanza yenu?” Bhajile, “Labi, (emaana yakwe 'mwalimu,' ukhala hwii?”
39 He says to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and remained with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
Wabhabhozya, “Enzaji mulole.”Nantele bhabhalile alole pale pakhalaga; bhakheye pamo nawo isiku elyo, afwatanaje yali efishile saa kumi eshi.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard from John and who followed him.
Omomo wa bhala bhabhele bhabhamwonvwezye oYohana nayanga nantele bhafwatile oYesu ali yo Andeleya, oholo wakwe oSimoni Petulo.
41 This man first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
Alolile oholo wakwe oSimoni omwana nahubhozye, “Tipete Omasihi” (maana yakwe Kilisiti).
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And having seen him, Jesus said, Thou are Simon the son of Jonah. Thou will be called Cephas (which is interpreted, Peter).
Bhaleta hwa Yesu. O Yesu amwezi na ajile, “Awe we Simoni omwana wa Yohana” obhakwiziwe Kefa,” (maana yakwe 'Petulo').
43 On the morrow he wanted to go forth into Galilee, and he finds Philip. And Jesus says to him, Follow me.
Isiku lyalyafuatile oYesu lwahanzaga asogole abhale huGalilaya, amwajile oFilipo na hubhozye, “Nfwate ane.”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
O Filipo ali khaya wa hu Bethsaida, ekhaya ya Andrea no Petulo.
45 Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.
O Filipo amwajile o Nathanaeli na hubhozye aje timwajile ola oMusa wa handishe enongwa zyakwe mu ndajizyo na Kuwaa. O Yesu omwana wa Yusufu, afume hu Nazareti.
46 And Nathanael said to him, What good can be from Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.
O Nathanaeli abhozyezye, “Aje ahantu ahinza hawezizye afumile hu Nazareti?” O Filipo abhozezye, Aje enzaga olole.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says about him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit.
U Yesu walola oNathanaeli ahwenza hwa mwene wayanga, “Waga oyenye Omwisraeli welyoli lyoli wasaga ali nilenka muhati yakwe!”
48 Nathanael says to him, How do thou know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, being under the fig tree, I saw thee.
O Nathanaeli wabhozya, “Amenyebhole ane?” O Yesu wabhozya, “Salisele oFilipo ahukwizye nawahali pansi yikwi.”
49 Nathanael answered, and says to him, Rabbi, thou are the Son of God. Thou are the king of Israel.
O Nathanaeli wayanga, “Waga Mwalimu awe oli Mwana wa Ngolobhe! Awe oli mwene we Wisraeli”!
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believe? Thou will see greater than these things.
O Yesu wayanag wabhozya, “Aje afuatanaje nabhozezye 'nalilolile pansi yikwi aje ohweteshele obhalole embombo engosi ashile ezi.”
51 And he says to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, henceforth ye will see the heaven opened, and the agents of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
O Yesu wabhabhozya aje eteshile etesheli embabho lya mubhazilole emwonya zihwiguha, mubhabhalole ahalozelu wazubha na hwishe amwanya hwa Mwana wa Adamu.”
