John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Mongrep maang dongsiitka di, Rangte Jengkhaap ah eje angta; heh Rangte damdi angta, eno Jengkhaap ah Rangte angta.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
Ephangdong dowa ih Jengkhaap ah Rangte damdi angta.
3 Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.
Rangte ih jirep ah heh jun ih dongsiitta; jaatrep dongsiitta dowa esiit taan uh heh jun ih ladongka rah tajeeka.
4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
Jengkhaap ah roidong choh lampo angta, eno roidong erah ih mina raangtaan ih weephaak thukta.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Weephaak ah rangnak khoni phaakta, eno rangnak ih erah weephaak ah mabah uh tajen met siitta.
6 There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.
Rangte ih weephaak tiit ah mina suh baat thuksuh, mih wasiit Joon ngeh ih kongphaak kotte kaat thukta,
7 He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.
tiimnge liidi, heh tiitkhaap ah loongtang ih chaat rum ano hanpi toom ih rum ah.
8 He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
Heh teewah bah amiisak di weephaak tah angta; weephaak tiit ah ba baatkaat taha.
9 The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.
Erah baatta langla amiisak weephaak ah angta, erah weephaak ah arah mongrep adi ra haano mina loongtang suh kaangtook koha.
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.
Jengkhaap ah langla arah mongrep adi angta, arah mongrep ah Rangte ih heh mendi hoonta bah uh, arah mongrep dowa mina ih tasamjat rumta.
11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
Heh teewah deek akaan ni ra taha, erabah uh heh miloong ah ih heh jeng ah takap rumta.
12 But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—
Enoothong, o mina ih heh jeng ah kap ih rum ano hanpi rumta, erah miloong ah Rangte suh asah eh hoon suh epun e ah.
13 children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
Neng loong ah Rangte sah ih hoonta, mina hansi nuh awah nawa tup arah tah angta; Rangte ah neng loong raangtaan ih neng Wah eh hoonta.
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.
Jengkhaap ah mina eh donghoonta eno minchan nyia amiisak pan angta, seng loong damdi roong songtong taha. Heh rangka ah seng ih tup eti, erah rangka ah Hewah jiin nawa Hesah heh luulu ang thoidi choha.
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.’”
Joon ih heh tiit baatta adoh erongrongwah ih riibaatta, “Arah tiit ah ngah ih amah kabaat rum taha, ‘Heh nga lidoh raaha, enoothong nga nang ih heh elong ang ah, tiimnge liidi ngah maang tup diidook heh eje angta.’”
16 From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.
Heh jiinni minchan ehan je thoidi loongtang suh romseetam koh hali, seng loong asuh esiit esiit suh romseetam koh hali.
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Rangte ih Moses jun ih Hootthe kota, enoothong minchan nyia amiisak tiit ah Jisu Kristo jun ih koh hali.
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.
Rangte ah oh ih uh tathaak tupka. Rangte reeni Hewah tooto ih tongla, Hesah asuh luulu ba jatthuk ha.
19 And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
Jerusalem dowa Jehudi ngoong awang loong ah ih romwah nyia Lewi nok hah marah marah loong ah Joon reeni kaat thuk rum ano, chengkaat thuk rumta, “An o anglu?”
20 He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”
Joon ih neng suh ngaakbaat ah tah daanta, enoothong neng suh saasa ih dokbaat rumta, Heh ih baat rumta: [Ngah Kristo tah angkang.]
21 “Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
[Eno bah, an ah o anglu?] Neng ih ngaak chengta. [An Elija tam ah?] “Tah angkang,” Joon ih ngaakbaat rumta. “An Khowah tam anglu?” Neng loong ah ih ngaakcheng rumta. “Tah angkang,” Joon ih ngaakbaat rumta.
22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
“Eno bah an ah o anglu baat he,” neng loong ah ih cheng rumta. “Seng daap kaatte loong asuh an o anglu erah tiit ah ngaakbaat wantheng. An teewah suh an ih tiimjih li hu?]
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.’”
Khowah Isaia Jengkhaap ah baat ano ngaak jengta; [Phisang hah mong ni riila root ah langla ngah; Teesu lengkhoom suh lamjun in ban tan an!]
24 Then the Pharisees who had been sent
Pharisi nok hah, ih kaat thukta kongphaak kotte, loong ah ih
25 asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
Joon suh cheng rumta, [An Kristo uh tah angko, Elija uh tah angko adoleh Khowah uh tah angko, eno bah juutem ah mamah ih temhu?]
26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
Joon ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Ngah ih ju nawa ih juutem rumhala, enoothong sengdung ni wasiit chapla ah sen ih tajatkan.
27 He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
Erah mih ah nga lih ni ra hala, enoothong ngah bah heh lakhoop adoleh heh lasong khook haattha uh taluikang.]
28 All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Arah tiit ah Bethani ni Joon ih Jordan ju saadongko ni juutemta erah di roongwaan rumta.
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!
Erah saalih adi Jisu heh taang ni wangha rah Joon ih japtup ano, liita, [Rangte Saapsah ah arah, arah mongrep dowa rangdah saasiitte ah erah wang hala!
30 This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’
Ngah roongwaan tahang adi arah warah tiit laangbo baat rum taha, ngah ih amah baat rum taha, ‘Nga lidoh mih wasiit raaha, enoothong heh ngah nang ih elong, tiimnge liidi heh ngah maang tupdoh heh eje angta.’
31 I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”
Ngah ih heh o ang ah ngeh ih tah jattang, enoothong, heh ah Ijirel noksong ih toomjat rum ah ngeh ih juutem ra tahang.]
32 Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.
Eno Joon ih heteewah tiitkhaap tiit baat rumta: [Ngah ih Chiiala ah wotuupi likhiik rang nawa ra haano heh sakkhoh ni dangra ha rah tuptang.
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.’
Erabah uh ngah ih tajattang heh o angla. Enoothong juutem kaat thuk tahang Rangte ah ih baat tahang, ‘An ih Chiiala ra haano mih wasiit sak nah tong raaha rah japtup uh; Esa Chiiala nawa ih juutemte warah heh ang ah.’
34 I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
Ngah ih tup ehang,” Joon ih liita, [eno ngah ih baat rumhala Rangte Sah ah bah heh ju.]
35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
Erah saalih adi heliphante wanyi damdi Joon we toonchap adi,
36 When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
Jisu lengkhoom ah japtup ano liita. [Rangte Saapsah ah the warah aleh!]
37 And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
Heliphante wanyi ah ih Joon jeng ah japchaat nyu ano Jisu damdi roong kanyuuta.
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?”
Jisu lekchap ih adi, nengnyi helilih ih kah arah japtup nyu ano cheng nyuuta, [Set ih tiimjih jamsok hansih?] Nengnyi ih ngaakbaat nyuuta, [An mani tonglu Rabbi?] (Rabbi ah Hebrew lam ih [Nyootte[ suh liiha)
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.
[Sok raathaak hansih ba,” heh ih ngaakbaat nyuuta. (Erah tokdi rangsa lup nanah angta.) Erah thoidi heh damdi roong kah nyu ano heh mani songtongta rah japtup kanyuuta eno erah sa adi heh damdi naangjam nyuuta.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.
Erah nyi dowa wasiit ah Simon Pitar no Andriu angta.
41 He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).
Erah damdam heh phoh Simon ah japtup ano baatta, [Seknyi Misia chomui li tih.] (Misia ah [Kristo[ suh liiha)
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).
Eno heh ih Simon ah Jisu taang ni siitwanta. Jisu heh taangko sok ano liita, [An Joon sah Simon, enoothong an ah Sephas ngeh ih poonho.] (Erah langla Pitar suh [jong[ ngeh ih liita likhiik)
43 The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”
Erah saalih adi Jisu Galili ni kaat chungta. Heh ih Philip ah japtup ano baatta, [Nga damdoh roongra ho!] (
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
Philip ah Pitar nyia Andriu tongla hah, Betsaida nawa angta.)
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.”
Philip ih Nathanel ah japtup ano heh suh baatta, [Hootthe leedap ni Moses nyia khowah loong ih nep raangta ah seng ih japtup ehi. Heh langla Jisu, Najaret hadaang dowa Josep sah ah.]
46 “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
[Najaret nawa tiim bah uh ese thok nih eha?] Nathanel ih chengta. [Raaho no sok uh,” Philip ih ngaak baatta.
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”
Jisu ih Nathanel ah heh reeni kaat ah tup ano liita, [Ijirel mina mi abah arah; heh tiim ni uh tathika!]
48 “How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
Nathanel ih heh suh chengta, An ih ngah mamah ih jat halang?] Jisu ih ngaak baatta, [Philip ih maang poon ruudi phuksak bang lathong ni ang uh rah jap tup taha.]
49 “Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
[Nyootte[ Nathanel ih ngaak baatta, [an juuba Rangte Sah! An Ijirel Luuwang!]
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.”
Jisu ih chengta, [Phuksak bang lathong ni angtu adi japtup taha ngeh ih li kohaano tam hanpi halang? An ih erah tokkhodoh elong japtup uh!]
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.”
Eno neng suh li rumta, [Ngah ih amiisak tiit ah baat rumhala: Rangmong ah laangdaap adoh Rangsah loong ah Mina Sah reenah chookwang datkah ih lengkhoom arah japtup an.
