John 1
1 In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Ak cykca awh awi ce awm hy, Awi ce Khawsa ing awm haih hy nih, ce awi taw Khawsa ni.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Anih ce ak cykca awh Khawsa ing awm haih hy nih.
3 All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being.
Anih ak caming ik-oeih boeih boeih ve sai na awm nawh; anih kaana taw ik-oeih sai pynoet ca awm am awm hy.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Anih ak khuiawh hqingnaak ce awm nawh, cawhkaw hqingnaak cetaw thlanghqing aham vangnaak na awm hy.
5 And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.
Cawhkaw vangnaak ce than ak khuiawh vang hy, cehlai thannaak ing anih ce am sim hy.
6 There was a man sent from God, his name John.
Khawsa venawh kawng a tyih law thlang pynoet ce awm hy; anih taw Johan mingna hy.
7 He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him.
Anih ak caming thlang boeih ing amik cangnaak thai aham anih taw cawhkaw vangnaak ak sim sakkung simpyinaak na awm hy.
8 He was not the light, but that he might witness concerning the light.
Amah taw vangnaak amni; cehlai cawhkaw vangnaak ak dyih pyi simpyinaak na awm hy.
9 The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.
Thlang boeih ak coeikung vangnaak tang tang ce khawmdek awh law hy.
10 He was in the world, and the world had [its] being through him, and the world knew him not.
Anih taw khawmdek awh awm hawh hy; amah ing khawmdek ve sai hlai hy, khawmdek ing amah ce am hat hy.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not;
Ak thlangkhqi venna law hlai hy, ak thlangkhqi ing anih ce am do uhy.
12 but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to be children of God, to those that believe on his name;
Cehlai amah ce ak dokhqi boeih, ang ming ak cangnaak thlangkhqi boeih a venawh, Khawsa cakhqi na awm thainaak ce pehy.
13 who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of God.
Pumsa ben kaana, ‘Khawsa a ngaihnaak amyihna ak thang thlangkhqi na awm uhy.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;
Awi ce pumsa na coeng nawh, ningnih a venawh awm hy. Pynoet ingkaw taak chyn na ak awm a boeimangnaak, qeennaak ingkaw awitak ing ak be, Pa a venna kawng ak law, amah a boeimangnaak ce ni hu hawh uhy.
15 (John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me; )
Johan ing anih akawng ce thlang a venawh sim sak hy. “Anih akawng maw kak kqawn mah, ‘Anih taw kai anglakawh lamma na a awm hawh dawngawh, kai a hu awh ak law cetaw kai anglakawh bau khqoet hy,’ ka tice,” tihy.
16 for of his fulness we all have received, and grace upon grace.
Am qeennaak ak be pyr awhkawng ningnih ing zoseennaak pynoet coeng pynoet ni hu boeih uhy.
17 For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ.
Mosi a venawh kawng anaa awi ce a na pe nawh, qeennaak ingkaw awitak taw Jesu Khrih awhkawng law hy.
18 No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
U ingawm Khawsa ce am hu khawi hlai hy, pynoet doek khoeih a taak chyn na ak awm Khawsa, Pa a venawh ak awm ing anih ce dang law sak hawh hy.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou?
Jerusalem awhkaw Judakhqi ing anih ce doet aham khawsoeihkhqi ingkaw Levikhqi ce a venna a tyih khqi awh Johan ing a simpyinaak taw vemyihna awm hy.
20 And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am not the Christ.
Anih ce simpyi kaana am awm hy, “Kai ve Khrih amni,” tinawh kqawn hy.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
Cekkhqi ing, Cawhtaw nang ve a u nu? Nang ve Elijah aw?” tinawh doet uhy. Anih ing, “Amni,” tinak khqi hy. “Nang ve Tawngha aw?” tina bai uhy. Anih ing, “Amni, tinak khqi bai hy.
22 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
A hukhit na taw cekkhqi ing, Nang ve a u nu? Kaimih anik tyikhqi venawh ka mik kqawnnaak aham nang ve a u nu tice kqawn lah. Namah ingkaw namah ce ikawmyihna nak kqawnnaak?” tina uhy.
23 He said, I [am] [the] voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the path of [the] Lord, as said Esaias the prophet.
Johan ing tawngha Isaiah ak awi ing hlat pek khqi hy, Kai taw, ‘Bawipa aham lam ce dyng sak lah uh,’ tinawh qamkoh awh ak khypyi ce ni,” tinak khqi hy.
24 And they were sent from among the Pharisees.
Cawh ami tyihkhqi Farasi thlang vang tloek ing,
25 And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
doet uhy, Khrih na awm am awm hyk ti, Elijah na awm am awm nawh tawngha na awm am awm loei tiksaw, ikaw ham nu baptisam nani peek khqi bai?” tina uhy.
26 John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,
Johan ing, “Kai ing tui ing baptisma ni pek khqi nyng, cehlai naming lakawh am nami sim thlang pynoet dyi hy.
27 he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose.
Anih cetaw kai a hu awhkaw ak law ce ni, anih a khawmyk qui ak suh peek aham awm kai taw am kawih nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
28 These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.
Vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih taw Johan ing baptisma a peeknaak Jordan tui caqai Bethani khaw awh ak awm na awm hy.
29 On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
A khawngawi nyn awh Jesu a venna a law ce Johan ing a huh awh, “Khawmdek thawlhnaak ak phyikung, Khawsa a tuuca, toek lah uh!
30 He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he was before me;
Anih ni, ‘Kai a hu awh ak law taw kai anglakawh bau khqoet hy, kawtih anih taw kai ka awm hlanawh awm hawh hy,’ ka ti ce.
31 and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.
Kai kamah ingawm anih ce am sim nyng, cehlai kai ing tui ing baptisma ka ni peeknaak khqi vetaw, anih ce Israel thlangkhqi venawh ang dangnaak aham ni,” tihy.
32 And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
Cekcoengawh Johan ing vemyihna sim pyi hy: “Khan nakawng Myihla kqukkqu amyihna kqum law nawh ak khanawh ang cuk ce hu nyng.
33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, he said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with [the] Holy Spirit.
Ak khanawh Myihla kqum nawh ak cu thlang ing Ciim Myihla ing baptisma ni pe khqi kaw,’ tinawh tui ing baptisma peek aham anik tyikung ing amak kqawn law man kai ingawm amna sim kawng.
34 And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.
Kai ing ka huh hawh dawngawh anih ve Khawsa Capa ni, tice sim pyi nyng,” tihy.
35 Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples.
A khawngawi nyn awh Johan taw a hubat thlang pakkhih ingqawi ce a hun awh awm tlaih bai uhy.
36 And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.
Jesu a ceh ce a huh awh, “Khawsa a tuuca ce, toek lah uh,” tinak khqi hy.
37 And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus.
Cawhkaw awi ce a hubat thlang pakkhih ing a ning zaak awh, Jesu a hu awh ce bat hy nih.
38 But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou?
Cekqawi ing a hu awh ani hquut ce Jesu ing a huh awh, hawi nawh, “Ikaw na ni ngaih? tina qawi hy. Cekqawi ing, “Cawngpyi kung, hanawh na awm?” tina hy nih.
39 He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
Anih ing, “Vena law nih, hu bit kawm nik ti,” tina qawi hy. Cedawngawh cekqawi ce cet nih nawh anih a awmnaak ce hu hy nih, ce a nyn awh ce anih a venawh awm pyt hy nih. Ce a tym taw khawnoek pahqa tluk law hy.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard [this] from John and followed him.
Simon Piter a na Andru taw, cekqawi ak khuiawh Johan ak awi za nawh Jesu a hu awh ak bat thlang pynoet na awm hy.
41 He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).
Lamma cyk na Andru ing a sai taw ak tai Simon ce sui nawh, Mesiah (Khrih, tinaak) hu hawh nyng, tinawh kqawn peek aham sui hy.
42 And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).
Cekcoengawh ak tai ce Jesu a venna law pyi hy. Jesu ing anih ce toek nawh, “Nang taw Johan a capa Simon ni, Cepha (ve ve Piter tinaak ni) ming na hawh kawp ti,” tina hy.
43 On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.
A khawngawi nyn awh Jesu taw Kalili na ceh aham cai hy. Philip ce hu nawh, “Ka hu awh bat lah,” tina hy.
44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Andru ingkaw Piter amyihna Philip awm Bethsaida khaw awhkaw thlang na awm hy.
45 Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.
Philip ing Nathanel ce hu nawh kqawn pehy, “Mosi a anaa awi awh qee nawh tawnghakhqi ingawm ami na qee – Nazareth Jesu, Joseph a capa ce, hu hawh nyng,” tina hy.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.
Nathanel ing, Nazareth e! Cawhkawng ik-oeih leek law hly thai nawh nu ti?” tinawh doet hy. Philip ing, “Law nawh taw toek mah toek cang lah,” tina hy.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold [one] truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile.
Nathanel a law ce Jesu ing a huh awh, “Coet amak kap, Israel thlang tang tang vawh awm hy ve,” tina hy.
48 Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
Nathanel ing, “Ikawmyihna nani simnaak?” tina hy. Jeush ing, “Philip ing anik khy hlanawh thaikung awh nang ngawih awh ni hu hawh nyng,” tina hy.
49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.
Cawh Nathanel ing, “Cawngpyikung, nang ve Khawsa Capa; Israel Sangphrang na awm hyk ti,” tina hy.
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
Jesu ing, “Thaikung awh na awm awh ni hu nyng, ka ni tinaak dawngawh nik cangna hyk ti. Ce anglakawh ik-oeih ak bau khqoet hu hyn kawp ti,” tina hy.
51 And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
Cekcoengawh, “Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khawk khan ak awng qu ce hu kawm tiksaw, Thlang Capa ak camawh, Khawsa ak khan ceityihkhqi a hak kai ingkaw a nuk kqum ce hu kawp ti,” tina hy.
