John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Jalqabatti dubbiitu ture; dubbichis Waaqa wajjin ture; dubbiin sunis Waaqa ture.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
Innis jalqabatti Waaqa wajjin ture.
3 Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.
Wanni hundinuu isaan taʼe; waan taʼe hunda keessaas wanni isa malee taʼe tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
Jireenyi isa keessa ture; jireenyi sunis ifa namootaa ture.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Ifni sun dukkana keessatti ni ibsa; dukkanni garuu isa hin moʼanne.
6 There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.
Nama Waaqa biraa ergame kan maqaan isaa Yohannis jedhamu tokkotu ture.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.
Innis akka namni hundinuu karaa isaatiin amanuuf dhuga baatuu taʼee waaʼee ifa sanaa dhugaa baʼuuf dhufe.
8 He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
Waaʼee ifa sanaa dhugaa baʼuu dhufe malee inni mataan isaa ifa hin turre.
9 The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.
Ifni dhugaa kan nama hundaaf ifa kennu sun gara addunyaa dhufaa ture.
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.
Inni addunyaa keessa ture; addunyaan isaan uumame; addunyaan garuu isa hin beekne.
11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
Innis gara saba isaa dhufe; sabni isaa garuu isa hin fudhanne.
12 But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—
Warra isa fudhatanii maqaa isaatti amananiif garuu akka ijoollee Waaqaa taʼaniif mirga kenne.
13 children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
Isaanis Waaqa irraa dhalatan malee dhiiga irraa yookaan fedhii foonii irraa yookaan fedhii dhiiraa irraa hin dhalanne.
14 The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Dubbiin foon taʼee nu gidduu jiraate. Nus ulfina isaa, ulfina Ilma Tokkicha ayyaanaa fi dhugaadhaan guutamee Abbaa biraa dhufe sanaa argineerra.
15 John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”
Yohannisis waaʼee isaa dhugaa baʼe. Sagalee isaas ol fudhatee akkana jedhe; “Inni ani, ‘Inni na duubaan dhufu na caala; inni na dura tureetii’ jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbadhe sun isa kana.”
16 From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.
Guutama isaa irraas hundi keenya ayyaana irratti ayyaana arganneerra.
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Seerri karaa Museetiin kennameetii; ayyaannii fi dhugaan garuu karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiitiin dhufe.
18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.
Eenyu iyyuu takkumaa Waaqa hin argine; garuu Ilma Tokkicha Abbaa bira jiru sanatu isa beeksise.
19 And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
Yommuu Yihuudoonni lubootaa fi Lewwota Yerusaalem Yohannisitti erganii, “Ati eenyu?” jedhanii gaafachiisanitti dhuga baʼumsi Yohannis kenne kana ture.
20 He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”
Inni dhugaa baʼe malee hin ganne; “Ani Kiristoos miti” jedhee dhugaa baʼe.
21 “Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
Isaanis, “Yoos ati eenyu ree? Eeliyaas moo?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Innis, “Lakki, ani isa miti” jedhee deebiseef. Isaanis, “Yoos ati Raajichaa ree?” jedhaniin. Inni immoo, “Lakki” jedheen.
22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
Isaanis, “Ati eenyu ree? Akka warra nu erganiif deebii kenninuuf ati eenyu ofiin jetta?” jedhaniin.
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
Yohannisis dubbii Isaayyaas raajichi dubbate sanaan deebisee, “Ani sagalee gammoojjii keessaa, ‘Gooftaaf karaa qajeelchaa’ jedhee iyyu sanaa dha” jedheen.
24 Then the Pharisees who had been sent
Fariisonni ergaman tokko tokkos,
25 asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
akkana jedhanii isa gaafatan; “Ati erga Kiristoos yookaan Eeliyaas yookaan raajicha taʼuu baattee maaliif cuuphxa ree?”
26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
Yohannis immoo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani bishaaniin nan cuupha; namni isin isa hin beekne tokko garuu isin gidduu dhaabata.
27 He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
Innis isa na duubaan dhufu kan ani hidhaa kophee isaa iyyuu hiikuufii hin mallee dha.”
28 All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Wanni kun hundi Yordaanos gama iddoo Yohannis itti cuuphaa ture Biitaaniyaa keessatti taʼe.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Guyyaa itti aanutti Yohannis utuu Yesuus gara isaa dhufuu argee akkana jedhe; “Ilaa Hoolaa Waaqaa isa cubbuu addunyaa balleessu!
30 This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’
Inni ani, ‘Namni na duubaan dhufu na caala; inni na dura tureetii’ jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbadhe sun isa kana.
31 I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”
Ani mataan koo iyyuu isa hin beekun ture; sababiin ani bishaaniin cuuphaa dhufeef garuu akka inni saba Israaʼelitti mulʼifamuuf.”
32 Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.
Yohannis itti fufee akkana jedhee dhugaa baʼe; “Ani utuu Hafuurri akkuma gugeetti samii irraa gad buʼee isa irra jiraatuu nan arge.
33 I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
Inni akka ani bishaaniin cuuphuuf na erge sun, ‘Namichi ati utuu Hafuurri gad buʼee isa irra jiraatuu argitu sun, isa Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan cuuphu dha’ jedhee utuu natti himuu baatee silaa ani iyyuu isa hin beeku ture.
34 I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
Anis argeera; akka inni Ilma Waaqaa taʼes dhugaa baʼeera.”
35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
Guyyaa itti aanutti Yohannis ammas barattoota isaa keessaa lama wajjin achi ture.
36 When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
Innis utuu Yesuus achi irra darbuu argee, “Ilaa, Hoolaa Waaqaa!” jedhe.
37 And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
Barattoonni lamaanis waan kana dubbachuu isaa dhagaʼanii Yesuus duukaa buʼan.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”
Yesuusis of irra garagalee isa duukaa buʼuu isaanii argee, “Isin maal barbaaddu?” jedheen. Isaanis, “Rabbii, ati eessa jiraatta?” jedhaniin. Rabbii jechuun Barsiisaa jechuu dha.
39 “Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
Innis, “Kottaatii ilaalaa” jedheen. Isaanis dhaqanii akka inni eessa jiraatu argan; gaafa sana isa wajjin oolan. Yeroon sunis gara saʼaatii kurnaffaa ture.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.
Warra waan Yohannis dubbate dhagaʼanii Yesuus duukaa buʼan lamaan keessaa inni tokko Indiriiyaas obboleessa Simoon Phexros ture.
41 He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).
Innis duraan dursee obboleessa isaa Simoonin argatee, “Nu Masiihicha arganneerra” jedheen; Masiihii jechuun Kiristoos jechuu dha.
42 Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).
Indiriiyaasis Simʼoonin gara Yesuusitti fide. Yesuusis isa ilaalee, “Ati Simoon ilma Yohannis, Keefaa jedhamtee ni waamamta” jedheen. Keefaa jechuun Phexros jechuu dha.
43 The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”
Yesuusis guyyaa itti aanutti Galiilaa dhaquu barbaade. Innis Fiiliphoosin argee, “Na duukaa buʼi” jedheen.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
Fiiliphoosis akkuma Indiriiyaasii fi Phexros nama magaalaa Beetisayidaa ture.
45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
Fiiliphoos Naatnaaʼelin argee, “Isa Museen kitaaba Seeraa keessatti waaʼee isaa barreessee fi isa raajonnis waaʼee isaa barreessan, ilma Yoosef, Yesuus nama Naazreeti arganneerra” jedheen.
46 “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
Naatnaaʼelis, “Naazreeti keessaa wanni gaariin baʼuu ni dandaʼaa?” jedhee gaafate. Fiiliphoosis, “Kottuutii ilaali” jedheen.
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”
Yesuusis utuu Naatnaaʼel gara isaa dhufuu argee, “Ilaa Israaʼelicha dhugaa kan haxxummaan keessa hin jirre!” jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbate.
48 “How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
Naatnaaʼelis, “Ati eessatti na beekta?” jedheen. Yesuusis, “Utuu Fiiliphoos si hin waamin dura yeroo ati muka harbuu jala turtettin si arge” jedhee deebiseef.
49 “Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
Naatnaaʼelis, “Yaa Barsiisaa, ati Ilma Waaqaa ti! Ati Mootii Israaʼel” jedheen.
50 Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.”
Yesuus immoo akkana jedheen; “Ati sababii ani muka harbuu jalattan si arge siin jedheef amantee? Waan kana caalu iyyuu arguuf jirta.”
51 Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
Innis itti dabalee, “Ani dhuguman, dhuguman isiniin jedha; samiin banamee utuu ergamoonni Waaqaa Ilma Namaa irra ol baʼanii gad buʼanuu ni argitu” jedheen.
