John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.
Qaalay kasse koyro dees. Qallakka Xoossa achan dees. He qalaaykka Xoossa.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
Izee koyro Xoossa achchan dees.
3 All things were made through Him, and nothing that was made was made without Him.
Medheteththi wurii izann medhetdes. Medhettdazan izi baynda medhetiday isiinaka dukku.
4 Life was in Him, and Life was the light of men.
Deyooy ezann deyssu. hana deyooya asas poo7.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Poo77y dhumaan poo7ses. dhumayy poo7 muleeka xonena.
6 There was a man sent by God, whose name was John.
Xoossafe kiitetda Yanissa getettiza isadeey dess.
7 He arrived as a witness to offer testimony about the Light, so that all would believe through him.
Iza markkatithaan asi wurii amanna malla Po77s markka giddii yidess.
8 He was not the Light, but he was to offer testimony about the Light.
Izi poo7o gish markatana yides atiin izi ba hues po7o gidena.
9 The true Light, which illuminates every man, was coming into this world.
Asa wursoos po7o imiiza tumu poo7oy hayssa ha alamezan yusan dess.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him.
Qaalayka kase alamen dess. almeykka medhetdday izana. Gido atin alameey iza erribeeyna.
11 He went to his own, and his own did not accept him.
Izi ba bagtako yiin iza bagaty iza ekiibetena.
12 Yet whoever did accept him, those who believed in his name, he gave them the power to become the sons of God.
Gido attin iza ekdaytii iza sunesaa amaniddayta isti xossa naytia gidana maata isstass iimdess.
13 These are born, not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Isttikka xossa nayta gididay xoossafe yelettida gish attin asa zeerethafe heskka asa wogan woykko asho shenen gidena.
14 And the Word became flesh, and he lived among us, and we saw his glory, glory like that of an only-begotten Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Qaallayka ass giddies, Xossa kiyatethinne tumann kumidii nunaan aqqides, Isi nass awa matan diza bonchoo milatza iza booncho nu beydos.
15 John offers testimony about him, and he cries out, saying: “This is the one about whom I said: ‘He who is to come after me, has been placed ahead of me, because he existed before me.’”
Yanssaykka “tappe guyera yizaysi tafe adhees, gasooyka izi tape kaseka dess gada ta intees yotidaysi hekoo haysi izako” gii matatidess.
16 And from his fullness, we all have received, even grace for grace.
Iza kumetha kiyatethan nu wuri keyatetha bolla kiyateth ekkidos.
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Wogay musse baggara immetidas, kiyatethine tumay gidiikoo Yesuss Kirsitosa baggara nusii yidess.
18 No one ever saw God; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he himself has described him.
Xooss beyedaye oonnkka bawa, gido attin Xossa aawa matan diza xoossa na xoossay issay xalala iza qonccissidess.
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him, so that they might ask him, “Who are you?”
Ayhudata dannatii Yerusalamappe qeessistane Lewe nayetta Yanssakoo kitidii “ne oonee?” gidi oychchishin,
20 And he confessed it and did not deny it; and what he confessed was: “I am not the Christ.”
Yanssay “tani Kiristtosa gidikee” gidi geshshi markkatides attin markkatanas ixxibeyna.
21 And they questioned him: “Then what are you? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
Isttika “histtine ne oonne? ne Elassa? gidi oychchida, izki gidike” gidi isttas zaaridess, Isttika “izi yana kittetida nabey nene?” gida. izika “akaye tana gidke” gidas.
22 Therefore, 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?”
Istii qaas “histin ne onee? nuna kitda asas nu yotanamalla ne nena ona gay?” gida.
23 He said, “I am a voice crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ just as the prophet Isaiah said.”
Izika “nabe Isayasay yootidaysa mala tani xoossa ogge suriistte gishe bazoo biitann wasiizade qalla girethth” gidess.
24 And some of those who had been sent were from among the Pharisees.
parssawistappe kittettda issi issi asati
25 And they questioned him and said to him, “Then why do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, and not Elijah, and not the Prophet?”
Hesa gish “ne Xoossi kittidade woykko buroo yana getetida nabaye nene gidontta gidikoo hstiin azaas nuna xmaqqazi?” gidii iza oychchida.
26 John answered them by saying: “I baptize with water. But in your midst stands one, whom you do not know.
Yanssaykka istasi hzgidass “ta haththn xamaqqays gido atiin inte eroontadey inte giddon eqqides.
27 The same is he who is to come after me, who has been placed ahead of me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen.”
Tappe guyera yanaysi iza, ta iza ccama qachcho birshanass besizade gidikke.
28 These things happened in Bethania, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Haysi wuri haniday Yanssay xamiqqiza Yordanosse shshafappe he pinththan diza Biitaniyaa getetiza katamana. Biitaniyay
29 On the next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him, and so he said: “Behold, the Lamb of God. Behold, he who takes away the sin of the world.
“Wonteththa glass Yanissay Yasussay beeko yishshin beydi (deree nagara biitappe digana Xoossa doorssay hekko hysichchi!
30 This is the one about whom I said, ‘After me arrives a man, who has been placed ahead of me, because he existed before me.’
Tapee guyerra yanayysi izi tappe kassekka diza gish tappe adhdhess) gada ta intess yotizzay haysichch!
31 And I did not know him. Yet it is for this reason that I come baptizing with water: so that he may be made manifest in Israel.”
Takaa ta bagaraa iza eraabeyke shin gidikooka izi Isra7ele deress qonchnamala ta haththan xxamaqashshe yadiss.”
32 And John offered testimony, saying: “For I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove; and he remained upon him.
Kaleththidika Yanissayy hizgi markatidess. “Xiiloo Ayanay woole kafoo milattdii salopee woodhishshinne iza bolla uttshin beyadiss.
33 And I did not know him. But he who sent me to baptize with water said to me: ‘He over whom you will see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
Ta tabagara iza eriike shin ta haththan xmaqqanamalla tana kiitidadey (Xiilloo Ayanay iza bola wodhidi shempishshin nee beyanadey Xiiloo Ayanan meccnay izakko) gidii tas yoottidess.
34 And I saw, and I gave testimony: that this one is the Son of God.”
Taka hessa beyadiss. Hessa gish izi Xoossa na gididaysa ta markatays.”
35 The next day again, John was standing with two of his disciples.
Wontetha galass Yanissay bena kaliza nam7atara heen eqqides.
36 And catching sight of Jesus walking, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”
Yesussay iza achchara adhdhishshn Yanissay beydii “Xoossa dorssay hekkoo haysichch!” gides.
37 And two disciples were listening to him speaking. And they followed Jesus.
Yanssa kalliza nam7ati hessa siiydii Yesussa kallida.
38 Then Jesus, turning around and seeing them following him, said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi (which means in translation, Teacher), where do you live?”
Istii iza kaliishshn yesussa guye yuuy xellidii “ayy kooyetii?” gidees. Istkka “asstamaare ne dussasoy awaa?” gida.
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about the tenth hour.
Izikka ista “ha ydii beyte” gidess. Hessa gish bidii izii awan dizakko be7idane he gllass izara isppe pe7ida. Wodeykka gedee tamuu sateso bidess.
40 And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard about him from John and had followed him.
Yanissay yotida qaala siydii Yesussa kallida nam7atappe issay Simoona Phixiroossa ishsha Indirassa.
41 First, he found his brother Simon, and he said to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is translated as the Christ).
Indirassay koyroo ba ishsha simoonakko bidinne “Xoossi kitida kirstossa nu demidos!” gidess.
42 And he led him to Jesus. And Jesus, gazing at him, said: “You are Simon, son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas,” (which is translated as Peter).
Hesafe guye Indirassay Simoona Yesussakko ekii yides. Yesussaykka iza tishsh hisiti xelidii. “hayso ne Yoonna na Simoonakko, hayssafe guye ne Keehaaththaa geetistana.” Kehaaththaa gusi Phixrossa gusa wyykoo zlaa shuchu gusa.
43 On the next day, he wanted to go into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
Wonteththa gallas Yesusay Galilla banass koydees. Piliphoosska demiidi “tana kalla” gidess.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Pilphoossaykka Indirasamalane Phixiroossamala Batesaydda kattama asa.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and he said to him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the Law and the Prophets: Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
Piphoossay natina7ele demiidi “Mussey woga maxxafan qase nabetiikka burope hanana yotiza bee maxxafatann iza gish xafida adeza nuu demidos, izikka Yosefo na Nazirete Yesussakko” gides.
46 And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good be from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Natina7eley qass “Nazireteppe lo7o miishi beti erizee?” gi oychin Pilphossay iza “ha yada beya” gides.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and he said about him, “Behold, an Israelite in whom truly there is no deceit.”
Natina7eley Yesussa beyana yishin yesussay beydi iza “hekko geney bayndda tumu Isra77ele ass!” giidi iza gish yotidess.
48 Nathanael said to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus responded and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Natina77eleykka zaridi “tana woosta eradii?” gi oychin Yesussaykka “Pilipoossay nena xeyiganappe kase Balasse miththa garsan ne dishshin ta nena beyaddis” gi zarin.
49 Nathanael answered him and said: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.”
Natina77eleay “asstammarea! ne Xoossa na ne Israe77ele kawo” gides.
50 Jesus responded and said to him: “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe. Greater things than these, you will see.”
Yesussaykka izas “ne amaniiday ta neena baallass miththa garsan beyadis” gidagsshe? ne buro hessafe adhdhiza daro miish beyana.
51 And he said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the Angels of God ascending and descending over the Son of man.”
Gujidikka ta intes tumu gays buro sallooy dooyetin Xoossa kiitanchati asa na bolla wdhishininne kezishin inte beyana.
