John 1
1 In the beginning the Word already was. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Ese agafare Ke me'neane, higeno ana Kemo'a Anumzane me'ne, ana Kea e'i Anumzane.
2 In the beginning he was with God.
Ese agafarera Agra Anumzane tragoteno mani'neane.
3 Everything came into being through him; nothing came into being without him.
Maka'zana Agrake'za tro hu'ne, hagi mago'zana ru kampintira fore osu'ne, makazana Agrake tro hu'ne.
4 In him was life, the life that was the light of everyone.
Agripi asimura me'ne, hagi ana asimumo'a vahe'mofo Masa'e.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not extinguished it.
Ana masamo'a hanizana remsa hunetreankino hanizamo'a agateore'ne.
6 God sent a man named John.
Hagi mago nera Anumzamo huntegeno e'ne, Ana ne'mofo agi'a Joni'e.
7 He came as a witness to explain about the light so that everyone might believe through him.
Ana ne'ma e'neana, Masamofo naneke hanigu e'ne. Ana hanige'za naneke'a nentahiza zamentinti hugahaze.
8 He himself was not the light, but he came to witness to the light.
Agra ana masa omani'ne, hanki ana masamofo naneke hu'ama hanigu e'ne.
9 The true light was coming into the world to give light to everyone.
Agra tamage masamo ama mopafi maka vahe remsa huzmentesigu ne-e.
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world didn't know who he was.
Ama mopafi Agra mani'ne, hagi Agra'a ama mopa tro hu'ne, hu'neanagi ama mopafi vahe'mo'za Agrira antahi'za ke'za osu'naze.
11 He came to his own people, but they didn't accept him.
Agra'a vaheku huno e'ne, hianagi Agri vahe'mo'za ovare'naze.
12 But to all those who accepted him and trusted in him, he gave the right to become God's children.
Hianagi iza'zo nevare'za Agri agifima zamentintima nehaza vahe'mokizmia, Agra'a hugnare hige'za Anumzamofo mofavre se'naze.
13 These are the children born not in the usual way, not as the result of human desire or a father's decision, but born of God.
Hagi Anumzamofo mofavrema senazana arera afa zamesitero, vahe avesitero, neve avesitera forera osunazanki, Anumzamo zamazeri fore hu'ne.
14 The Word became human and lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son, full of grace and truth.
Ana Kemo vahe fore huteno, tagri'ene mani'ne. Agri masazama'a tagra ke'none, magoke ante'nea Ne'mo hanave'ane masa zama'ane Nefantegati e'ne. Asunku zamo'ene tamage kemo'a avite'nea Nere.
15 John gave his testimony about him, shouting out to the people, “This is the one I was telling you about when I said, ‘The one who is coming after me is more important than me, for before I ever existed he already was.’”
Joni'a huama huno Agriku hu'ne. Agra kezatino amanage hu'ne, nagrama amama nehuana Agriku nehue, nagri namage'ma ne-emo'a, nagrira nagateretfa hu'ne. Na'ankure nagra fore osu'nogeno Agra pusante fore huno mani'neane.
16 We have all been recipients of his generous nature, one gracious gift after another.
Higeta tagra ana maka'mota hakare zana Agripi avitenefinti e'nerunkeno, asunku huranteno muse zama'a agumpi agumpi huno neramie.
17 The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Na'ankure kasegea Mosesempi tami'ne. Hagi asunku'zane tamage kea, Jisas Kraisimpi tami'ne.
18 While no one has ever seen God, God the one and only, who is close to the Father, has shown us what God is like.
Mopafi vahe'mo'a magore huno Anumzana onketfa hu'ne. Anumzamofo mofavrea magoke mani'neno, Nafa'amofo asumpinka mani'ne, Agra'a Anumzana mani'neno huama hu'ne.
19 This is what John publicly stated when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
Hagi Jiu kva vahe'mo'za, mono kva pristi vahe'ene Livae vahera Jerusalemi kumateti huma zamantage'za Jonina antahigeku vu'za, Kagra azage? hu'za ome antahige'naze.
20 John declared plainly and clearly without hesitation, “I am not the Messiah.”
Antahigageno'a agra huama nehuno vahane osuno, huama huno, Nagra tamazahu nera Kraisi'na omani'noe.
21 “So then, who are you?” they asked. “Elijah?” “No, I'm not,” he answered. “Are you the Prophet?” “No,” he replied.
Hige'za, hagi azaga mani'nane? Elaijago? hu'za hazageno, a'o, nagra Elaijana omani'noe huno hige'za, kagra kasnampa nero? hu'za antahigageno, agra kezmi nona huno, i'o huno hu'ne.
22 “Well, who are you, then?” they asked. “We have to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
Hagi hurantagetama e'nona vahe ome zamasmisunku nehune. Azaga mani'nane huta kagrikura ome zamasmigahune? Kagragura azage hunka nehane?
23 “I am a voice calling in the desert, ‘Make the Lord's way straight!’” he said, using the words of the prophet Isaiah.
Hazageno Agra anage hu'ne, Mago Kezanke ka'ma mopafi mani'neno keza tino, Ramofo ka azeri ante fatgo hiho huno Aisaia kasnampa ne'mo korapa hunte'nea ne' mani'noe. (Ais 40:3.)
24 The priests and Levites sent by the Pharisees
Hu'zmantage'za e'naza Farisi vahe'mo'za,
25 asked him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you're not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?”
zamagra antahige'za, amanage agriku hu'naze, kagra Kraisigafi, Elaijagafi, mago Kasnampa ne'ma omaninenka, nahigenka mono tina fre nezmantane?
26 John replied, “I baptize with water, but standing among you is someone you don't know.
Joni'a kenona zamirera anage hu'ne, nagra amne tintfanteti mono tina frenermantoe. Hu'neanagi tamagri amunompina magora tamagra keta antahita osu'naza ne' oti'ne.
27 He is coming after me, but I am not even worthy to untie his sandals.”
E'ima Agra nagri nmage'ma esanimofona Agri aga'nona knare osu'noankina katu ofegahue.
28 This all happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Ana nanekea Betani kumara Jodani timofo asoparega Joni'ma mono tima frenezmanterega antahigazageno zmasami'ne.
29 The next day John saw Jesus approaching him, and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Anante kotigeno Jisasi'a agrite egeno negeno, Joni'a amanage hu'ne, keho, Anumzamofo Sipisipi anentara, ama mopafi vahe'mokizmi kumira, Agra eri atregahie!
30 This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘A man who is coming after me is more important than me, for before I ever existed he already was.’
Ama'ne ana nera, Agriku'ma hu'na nagrama kema hu'noana, nagri namge'ma esnia nera, nagrira nagatereno ra agi eri'nea nere, nagra fore osu'nogeno, Agra korapa Agraragisa mani'nea nere.
31 I didn't know myself who he was, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel.”
Nagra antahi'na ke'na Agrira osu'noanagi, Israeli vahe'mo'za Agrira antahiza keza hanaze hu'na, nagra ena mono tina eme frezmante'noe.
32 John gave his evidence about him, saying, “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove and rest upon him.
Joni'a huama huno amanage hu'ne, Nagra kogeno Avamura maho namamo hiaza huno monafinti eramino Agrite emanige'na ke'noe.
33 I wouldn't have known him except he who sent me to baptize with water had told me, ‘The one you see the Spirit descend to and rest upon, he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
Nagra ke'na antahi'na Agrira osu'noanagi, mono tima frezmanto huno'ma hunante'nea ne'mo'a anage huno nasmi'ne, kesnankenoma Avamumo'ma monafinkati'ma eramino Agrite'ma emani'nea ne'mo, Agra Ruotge Avamupina mono tina fre zamantegahie hu'ne.
34 I saw it happen and I declare that this is the Son of God.”
Nagrani'a kete'na, huama hu'na ama Anumzamofo mofavre hu'na neramasmue.
35 The next day John was standing there with two of his disciples.
Anante zupa Joni'a, amage'ma nenta'a disaipoli netrema'ane oti'neno,
36 He saw Jesus passing by, and said, “Look! This is the Lamb of God!”
Jisasi'a ne-egeno Joni'a negeno amanage huno hu'ne, Keho, amu Anumzamofo Sipisipi anentare,
37 When the two disciples heard what he said they went and followed Jesus.
anage hige'ne, Joni amagema nenta'a disaipol netremoke nentahi'ne, Jisasi amage'anteke vu'na'e.
38 Jesus turned round and saw them following him. “What are you looking for?” he asked them. “Rabbi (which means ‘Teacher’), where are you staying?” they asked in reply.
Jisasi'a amage'a nevakeno rukrahe huno neznageno, Na'anku nehakra'e? huno znantahigege'ne, Rempi hurami ne'moka inante Kagra nemanine? hu'ne antahigena'e.
39 “Come and see,” he told them. So they went with him and saw where he was staying. It was about four p.m., and they spent the rest of the day with him.
Agra anage zanagriku hu'ne, E'netna tanagratani'a emege'o hige'ne, Agrane vuke nemania nonkuma omenege'ne ana zupa Agrane mani'nakeno, 4 kiloki hu'ne.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of these two disciples who had heard what John said and followed Jesus.
Hagi nanterana mago'mo Joni hiankema antahiteno Jisasi amage'ma vu'nea nera Endru'e, Saimon Pitana nefu'e.
41 He went at once to find his brother Simon and told him, “We've found the Messiah!” (which means “Christ”).
Hagi Endru'a, Jisasima keteno pusante Endru'a nefu Saimoni keno, amanage huno asami'ne. Tagra hago Mesaiana hakreta erifore hu'none. (E'i ana agima eri rukrehe'ma hu'neana Kraisi'e hu'ne.)
42 He took him to Jesus. Looking directly at Simon, Jesus said, “You are Simon, son of John. But now you will be called Cephas,” (which means “Peter”).
Jisasinte Endru'a, Saimonina avreno vu'ne. Vigeno Jisasi'a negeno anage huno asmi'ne, Kagra Saimonige Joni nemofoga mani'nane, kagri kagi'a Sifasi'e hugahaze. (E'i ana agima eri rukrehe'ma hu'neana Pita'e hu'ne.)
43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. Jesus found Philip there, and told him, “Follow me.”
Mseno kotigeno Jisasi'a Galili vunaku nehuno Filipi ome negeno, Nagri namage anto hu'ne.
44 Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town that Andrew and Peter came from.
Hanki Filipi'a Betsaidati ne' Andrune, Pitakiznia rankuma zani'areti nere.
45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We've found the one that Moses wrote about in the law and that the prophets did too—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
Filipi'a, Natanieli'e nehaza ne' kefore huteno amanage huno asmi'ne, Mosesi'ene kasnampa vahe'mo'zama avontafepima agenke'ama krente'naza Ne'ma, Nazareti kumateti Josefe nemofo Jisasi'e hu'naza nera hago hakreta erifore hu'none, huno asmi'ne.
46 “From Nazareth? Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael wondered. “Just come and see,” Philip replied.
Natanieli'a anage huno Filipina antahige'ne, Nazaretia knare'zana efore hugahio? Filipi'a anage hu'ne, kagraka'a enka emego.
47 As Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said about him, “Look, here's a true Israelite! There's nothing false about him.”
Natanieli'a Agritega ne-egeno Jisasi'a negeno amanage hu'ne, Keho, tamage Israeli vahere agu'afina havige hu'zana omne'ne!
48 “How do you know who I am?” Nathanael asked. “I saw you there under the fig tree, before Philip called you,” Jesus replied.
Natanieli'a Agriku anage hu'ne. Kagra inankna hunka nagrira nage'nane? Jisasi'a ke'nona huno amanage hu'ne, Filipi'a kagi osu'negenka fiki zafa agafafi mani'nanke'na ko kage'noe.
49 “Rabbi, you are the Son of God, the king of Israel!” Nathaniel exclaimed.
Higeno Natanieli'a Agri ke'nona amanage hu'ne, Hurami nere, Kagra fatgo hunka Anumzamofo nemofoga mani'nane. Kagra Israeli vahe'mokizmi Kini nere.
50 “You believe this just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree?” Jesus replied. “You'll get to see much more than that!”
Higeno, Jisasi'a ke'are anage huno asmi'ne, Na'ankure Nagrama hu'na fiki zafa agafafi mani'nanke'na kage'noema huazanku kamentinti nehano? Henka'a agatere'neaza ruzahu'za kagra kegahane.
51 Then Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open, and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of man.”
Higeno Jisasi'a mago'ane amanage huno Natanielina asami'ne, Tamagerafa hu'na Nagra kagrira negasamue, kagra negesankeno mona kafamo'a anagisigeno, Anumzamofo ankero zagamo'za, Vahe'mofo Mofavrere mareriza tamiza nehanigenka kegahane.
