John 1
1 In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
Chikanaŵe gumbikwa chachilichose jwapali jumo jwaŵilanjikwe Liloŵe, nombe jwele liloŵe jo ŵaliji pamo ni Akunnungu, nombejo ŵaliji Akunnungu.
2 This same was in the beginning with God.
Chitandilile kundanda Liloŵe jo ŵaliji ni Akunnungu.
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
Indu yose yagumbichikwe ni ŵelewo ni pangali ŵelewo nganichipagwa chachili chose chichagumbichikwe.
4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
Jwelejo ŵaliji ndande ja umi ni wele umi wo uichenawo lilanguka kwa ŵandu.
5 And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
Ni lyele lilanguka lyo likulanguchisya mu chipi atamuno chipi cho ngachikukombola kulisima lilanguka.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
Akunnungu ŵantumile mundu jumpepe liina lyakwe Yohana,
7 This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
jwelejo ŵaiche kukwasalila ŵandu umboni nkati lilanguka lyo, kuti ŵandu wose apilikane ni kukulupilila.
8 He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
Che Yohana nsyene nganaŵa lilanguka lyo nambo ŵaiche kukwasalila ŵandu pangasisa nkati lilanguka lyo.
9 This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
Lyelelyo lili lilanguka lisyene, lilanguka lyalikwika pachilambo ni kwalanguchisya ŵandu wose.
10 He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
Jwelejo jwapali pachilambo pano ni kwa jwelejo Akunnungu ŵachigumbile chilambo nambo ŵandu ŵa pachilambo nganiŵamanyilila.
11 He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
Ŵaiche kwa ŵandu ŵakwe nsyene, nambo ŵandu ŵakwe nganiŵapochela.
12 But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name.
Nambo ŵanawose ŵaŵaapochele ni kwakulupilila, ŵaatesile akombole kuŵa ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu,
13 Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
aŵele ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu ngaŵa kwa kupagwa mpela ŵandu yakuti pa kupagwa ni ngaŵa kwa kusaka kwa mundu nambo apagwile kwa usache wakwe Akunnungu.
14 And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs, (and we sawe the glorie thereof, as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father) full of grace and trueth.
Nombe Liloŵe jo ŵaliji mundu ni ŵatemi noweji. Ni uweji tuuweni ukulu wao, ukulu wao jwelejo jwajikape jwatyosile kwa Atati Akunnungu, aguumbele umbone ni usyene.
15 Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I.
Che Yohana nsyene paŵambweni ŵaasalile ŵandu ngani jankati jwelejo kwa kunyanyisya achitiji, “Aju ni jwejula junangambaga katema panasasile kuti, ‘Akwika mundu jumo kanyuma kangu jwali jwankulungwa kumbunda une, pakuŵa jwapali uneji ngunaŵe kupagwa.’”
16 And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
Malinga ni winji wa umbone wao, uweji wose tupochele ntuuka wejinji nnope.
17 For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵagaichisye Malajisyo kwa litala li che Musa nambo umbone wa Akunnungu ni usyene ituichile kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito.
18 No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.
Ngapagwa mundu juŵambweni Akunnungu katema kakalikose. Mwana jwajikape, jwaali Akunnungu jwausyene, ni jwakunonyelwa ni Atati, jwelejo ni jwatumanyisye Akunnungu.
19 Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
Au uli umboni wautyosisye che Yohana, katema ilongola ŵa Ŵayahudi kutyochela ku Yelusalemu paŵaatumile ŵambopesi ni Ŵalawi kukwausya, “Ana mmwe ndi ŵaani?”
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
Che Yohana nganakaana kwanga, ŵajitichisye pangasisa, “Uneji nguniŵa Kilisito Jwakuwombola.”
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
Pelepo ŵambusisye, “Sambano mmwe ndi ŵaani? Ana mmwe ni che Elia?” Che Yohana ŵajanjile, “Une nguniŵa che Elia.” Ni ŵambusisye sooni, “Ana mmwe ndi jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu jula juŵatite akwika?” Che Yohana ŵajanjile, “Ngwamba.”
22 Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe?
Ni ŵanyawo ŵambusisye, “Sambano mmwe ndi ŵaani? Nkuliŵalanga ichichi? Ntusalile tukaasalile aŵala ŵatutumile kukumbusya.”
23 He said, I am the voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias.
Che Yohana ŵajanjile, mpela ila che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu iŵang'ambaga, “Uneji ndili mundu jungunyanyisya liloŵe mwipululu, ‘Njongole litala lya Ambuje.’”
24 Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
Ni aŵala ŵandu ŵaŵalajiswe ni Mafalisayo,
25 And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
ŵambusisye che Yohana, “Iŵaga mmwe nganimma Kilisito Jwakuwombola pane che Elia pane jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu jula, kwachichi nkubatisya?”
26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
Che Yohana ŵajanjile, “Uneji ngubatisya ni meesi, nambo apali jumo mwa ŵanyamwe, jwangankummanyilila.
27 He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
Ni jwejula jwakwika kanyuma, une nganguŵajilwa kuŵa katumetume jwakuugula migoji ja italawanda yao.”
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
Yelei yatendekwe mmusi wa ku Besania peesi lusulo lwa Yolodani apala che Yohana paŵabatisyaga ŵandu.
29 The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.
Malaŵi jakwe, che Yohana ŵambweni Che Yesu aninkwaichilila ni ŵatite, “Nnole, jweleju ali Mwanangondolo jwa Akunnungu jwakwigala sambi sya ŵandu ŵa pachilambo!
30 This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
Ajuju ni jwejula junangambaga panatite, ‘Kanyuma akwika mundu jumo jwali jwankulungwa kuumbunda une, pakuŵa jwapali uneji ngunaŵe kupagwa!’
31 And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
Uneji nganinaamanyilila, nambo nyiche kukubatisya ni meesi kuti ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli ŵaamanyilile.”
32 So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
Che Yohana ŵatusalile indu iyaiweni achitiji, “Nambweni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu achitulukaga kutyochela kwinani mpela nguunda ni kwatula pachanya pao.
33 And I knewe him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he saide vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come downe, and tary still on him, that is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost.
Uneji nganinaamanyilila nambo jwelejo juŵandumile ngabatisye ni meesi ŵaasalile, ‘Jwelejo juchimwaone ali nkutuluchilwa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni kwatula pachanya pao, jwelejo ni juchabatisye ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.’”
34 And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
Nipele che Yohana ŵatite, “Uneji naiweni yeleyi ni malasile umboni kuti ajuju ni Mwana jwa Akunnungu.”
35 The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
Malaŵi jakwe, che Yohana ŵaliji sooni ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaŵili.
36 And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
Paŵaweni Che Yesu ali nkupita, ŵatite, “Munnole, ajuju ali Mwanangondolo jwa Akunnungu.”
37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
Ni aŵala ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili paŵampilikene che Yohana achiŵechetaga maloŵe go, ŵaakuiye Che Yesu.
38 Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou?
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵagalawiche, ŵaweni ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili ŵa che Yohana achakuyaga ŵausisye, “Ana nkusosanga ichichi?” Ni ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Labi, ana nkutama kwapi?” Labi malumbo gakwe Jwakwiganya.
39 He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Njisangane ni ŵanyamwe chimmone.” Ŵakulijiganya wo ŵaakuiye, ŵapaweni paŵatamaga, jaliji mpela saa kumi ja ligulo ni ŵanyawo ŵatemi nawo lyuŵa lila.
40 Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
Jumo jwa aŵala ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili ŵaŵampilikene che Yohana achiŵechetaga maloŵe go ni kwakuya Che Yesu ŵaliji che Andulea, mpwao che Simoni Petulo.
41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
Che Andulea ŵansimene kaje che Simoni mpwakwe, ni ŵansalile, “Tummweni Masiya,” yaani “Kilisito Jwakuwombola”.
42 And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone.
Nipele, ŵanjawisye ku Che Yesu. Ni Che Yesu ŵannolite che Simoni ni ŵatite, “Mmwejo ni che Simoni mwanagwao che Yohana. Sano chimmilanjikwe che Kefa.” Mchigiliki Petulo, malumbo gakwe, “Lwala.”
43 The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
Malaŵi jakwe Che Yesu ŵapite ku chilambo cha Galilaya. Nipele ŵansimene che Filipo ni kunsalila, “Munguye.”
44 Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
Che Filipo ŵaliji mundu jwa musi wa ku Besesaida, musi uŵatamaga che Andulea ni che Petulo.
45 Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth.
Nipele che Filipo ŵansosile che Nasanieli, ni paŵammweni ŵansalile, “Tummweni ajula juŵalembekwe mmalajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ni mu itabu ya ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu, Che Yesu kutyochela musi wa ku Nasaleti Mwana ju che Yusufu.”
46 Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
Nombe che Nasanieli ŵambusisye che Filipo, “Ana chindu chambone chikukomboleka kutyochela ku Nasaleti?” Che Filipo ŵansalile, “Njise kunnole.”
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Che Yesu paŵambweni che Nasanieli achaichililaga ŵatite, “Nnole! Jwele ali Mwisilaeli nsyenesyene, nkati mwakwe mwangali unami.”
48 Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee.
Che Nasanieli ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Ana mumanyilile chinauli?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Akanammilanje che Filipo, nambweni ndi ntemi paasi pa chitela cha ntini pala.”
49 Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
Pelepo che Nasanieli ŵatite, “Jwakwiganya, mmwe ndi Mwana jwa Akunnungu, mmwe ndi Mwenye jwa ku Isilaeli!”
50 Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these.
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ana mungulupilile pakuŵa nansalile kuti nammweni paasi pa chitela cha ntini pala? Chingawone gamakulungwa kupunda gelega.”
51 And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man.
Che Yesu ŵajendelechele kusala, “Isyene ngunsalila, chinkuwone kwinani kweugule ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu achikwelaga ni kutuluka pa Mwana jwa Mundu.”
