John 1
1 In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
Kuvutengulilo kwe alyale ulisio, ulisio ujuo alyale palikimo nu Nguluve, kange ulisio alyale ghuse, Nguluve.
2 This same was in the beginning with God.
Kuhuma kuvute ngulilo, ulisio ujuo alyale palikimo nu Nguluve.
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
UNgulve alyapelile ifiinu fyoni kukilila umwene. Nakwekili nambe kimo kino alyapelile kisila kukilila kwa mwene ujuo.
4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
Mwa mwene mwevulyale uvusumi, uvusumi uvuo vukava lumuli ku vaanhu vooni.
5 And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
Ulumuli uluo lumulika mu nghiisi, ingiisi jikunilue kukululema.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
UNguluve alyansung'hile umuunhu jumonga juno akatambukagha Yohani.
7 This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
UYohani ujuo, alisile kukwoleka imhola isa lumuli uluo, kuuti avaanhu vooni vitike kukilila umwene.
8 He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
UYohani ujuo naalyale ghwe lumuli uluo, looli alisile kukwoleka ulumuli.
9 This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
Ulumuli uluo ulwa kyang'haani, luno lukava lukwisa muiisi, uluo lukavamulikila avaanhu vooni. Ulumuli uluo.
10 He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
Ulisio mwe alyale mu iisi, naji iisi jooni jilyapelilue kukilila umwene, neke avaanhu navalyankagwile.
11 He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
Alisile kuvaanhu vaake, aveene navalyamwupiile. Neke avaanhu vooni vano valyamwupiile na kukumwitika, akavaviika kuuva vaana va Nguluve.
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.
Neke avaanhu vooni vano valya valyamwupiile na kukumwitika, akavaviika kuuva vaana va Nguluve.
13 Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
Nakwekuti vaana va Nguluve vwimila ifisina fyave, nambemulwa kuholua nu mughosi nu ndala, nambe muvughane vwa muunhu, looli UNguluve jujuo ghwe juno avavikile kuuva vanaake.
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.
Ulisio ujuo akava muunhu, akikala palikimo nusue, najusue tukuvuvona uvuvaha vwake, uvuvaha vuno vuhufia kuuti ghwe mwana jumo mwene ghwa Nguluve uNhaata. Umwene ali nu lusungu fiijo nu vwakyang'haani vwoni.
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.
UYohani akavoleka avaanhu imhola isa muunhu ujuo, akajova fiijo akati, “Uju ghwe juno najovagha kuuti, 'Juno ikwisa kumbele kulyune, m'baha kukila une, ulwakuva kwealyale une ye nikyale kuholua.”
16 And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
Usue tweni muvukwilanifu vwake, twupiile ulusungu lwake, kange ifikutusungukilagha jaatu.
17 For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
Ulwakuva indaghilo saake alyatupeliile kukilila uMose, ulusungu nu vwakyang'haani atupeliile kukilila uYesu kilisite.
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.
Nakwale umuunhu juno aghelile kukumwagha uNguluve, ali palikimo nu Nguluve uNhaata. Ujuo ghwe mwene atuhufisie uNguluve.
19 Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
Avalongosi va Vayahudi valyavasung'hile avatekesi na Valeevi kukumposia uYohani kuuti ghwe veeni.
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
Umwene akavoleka kisila kufisa, akati, “Une naneene Kiliste.”
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
Vakamposi kange vakati, “Lino uve veeni? Asi, veeve m'bili Eliya? UYohani akavamula akati, “Ndali, na neene Eliya.” Vakamposia kange vakati, Veeve m'bili?” Akavamula akati, “Ndali na neene.”
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?
Vakamposi kange vakati, “Lino uve veeve veeve veeve? Ghukutambula veeve veeni? Tulonda tugomosie ulwamulo ku vano vatusung'hile?”
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.
UYohani akavamula akati, Une neene lisio lya muunhu juno ikemeela ku'lukuve iiti, munnosekesyaghe uMutwa isila.” Ndavule alyajovile um'bili uYesaya.”
24 Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
Pepano avaanu vala vano valyasung'hilue na Vafalisayo vakampos kange vakati,
25 And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
“Nave naveeve Kilisite, nambe naveeve Eliya nambe na uli m'bili, ongo ghukwofugha?”
26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
UYohani akavamula akati, “Une nikwofungha na malenga, neke nkate mulyumue pwale juno umue namunkagwile.
27 He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
Ujuo ghwe juno ikwisa kumbele kulyune. Une naninoghiile nambe kuhudula utukova utwa filatu tyake.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
Isio silyavombiike mu kikaaja kya ikya Betania, imwambo ja Yolidani, ukuo kwe kuno uYohani alyale ikwifugha avaanhu.
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.
Ikigho ikivingilili, uYohani akamwagha uYesu ikwisa kwa mwene. Pe akavavuula avaaanhu akati, “Lolagha, uju ghwe kakolo ghwa nguluvve, ghwe mwene ivusia uvuhosi vwa vaanhu vooni.
30 This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
Uju ghwe juno navagha kuuti, “Juno ikwisa kumbele kulyune, m'baha kukila une, ulwakuva kwe alyale une ye nikyale kuholua.'
31 And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
Najune nanikaakagwile kuuti ghwe kakolo, looli une nilisile kukwofungha avaanu na malenga, kuuti aVaisilaeli vankagule.”
32 So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
Kange uYohani akavavula akati, “Nimwaghile uMhepo uMwimike ikwika kuhuma kukyanya hwene ng'unda na kukwima pa mwene.
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.
Une nanivele nikagwile, neke UNguluve juno asung'hile kukwofugha avaanhu na malenga ambulile kuuti, 'Umuunhu juno kyaukumwagha uMhepo ikwika na kukwima pa mwene ujuo ghwe juno ikwofughagha nu Mhepo uMwimike.”
34 And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
UYohani akafijovagha akatisagha, “Une nisivwene isio na maaso ghango, kange nijova isa kyang'haani, kuuti uju ghwe mwana ghwa Nguluve.”
35 The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
Ikighono ikya vuvili,
36 And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
kange, ikighono ikivingilili, uYohani uMwofughi akava imile palikimo na vavulanisivua vaake vavili, vakamwagha UYesu ikila, pe uYohani akati, “Lolagha, ukakologhwa Nguluve!”
37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
Avavulanisivua vavili vala, ye vampuliike uYohani ijova amasio aghuo, vaka m'bingilila uYesu.
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?
Pe uYesu akasyetuka, akavona vikum'bingilila, akavaposia akati, mulonda kiki? “Aveene vakamwamula vakati, “Rabi, (kwe kuti m'bulanisi) ghukukala kuughi?
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.
UYesu akati, “Mwise, mukupaagha.” Pe vakam'bingilila. Pakivwilile, akavalilo aka kijigho, vakafika pano ikalagha, vakava lumo ikighono kila.
40 Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
Umo mu vavulanisivua vavili vala vano vakapuliike amasio gha Yohani na kukum'bingilila uYesu, alyale ghwe Ndeleya unnuuna ghwa Simoni Peteli.
41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
Undeleya akamwagha unkulu ghwake uSimoni, akam'buula akati, “Tumwaghile uMesiya” (Mesiya kwe kuti Kiliste).
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.
Pe akantwala uSimoni kwa Yesu. UYesu akamulola uSimoni, akam'buula akati, Uve veeve Simoni mwana ghwa Yohani, lino ghutambulwaga Keefa,” (Kwe kuti' Peteli).
43 The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
Ikighono ikivingilili, uYesu ye ilonda pivuuka kuluta ku kighavo ikya Galilaya, akamwagha uFilipo, akambuula akati “Umbingililaghe.”
44 Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
UFilipo alyale mhuma mu likaaja ilya Betisaida. Ghwope uNdeleya nu Peteli vakahumagha mulikaaja ilio.
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.
UFilipo akamwagha uNatanaeli, akambuula akati, “Tumwaghile umuunhu juno imhola saake silyalembilue nu Moose mu kitabu ikya Ndaghilo, na mufitabu ifya vavili. Ujuo ghwe Yesu mwana ghwa Yosefu umhuma ku Nasaleti.
46 Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
UNatanaeli akamposia uFilipo akati, “Ikiinu ikinono ndepoonu kihuma ku Nasaleti? “UFilipo akamwamula akati, “Ghwise, ulole!”
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
UYesu ye amwaghile uNatanaeli ikwisa kwa mwene, akajova akati, “Lolagha, ujuo ghwe Muisilaeli ghwa kyang'haani, nsila vukedusi nkate mwa mwene.”
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.
UNatanaeli akamposia uYesu akati, “Ghwe Mutwa, ung'hagwile ndaani?” UYesu akamwamula na kukum'bula akati, “Nambe uFilipo ye akyale pikukukemeela, une niveele nikwaghile, ghukalile paasi pa mpiki untini.”
49 Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
Pe uNatanaeli akamwamula akati, “Ghwe Mbulanisi, lino nikagwile kuuti, uli mwana ghwa Nguluve! Uli Ntwa ghwa 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.
UYesu akamposia akati, “Ghukwitika ulwakuva nikuvuvulile kuuti niveele nikuvwene ye ghukalile pa mpiki untini? Lino ghukusivona isingi imbaha kukila isi.
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.
UYesu akavavuula akati, kyang'haani nikuvavuula, mulikuvuvona uvulanga vudinduka na vanyamola va Nguluve vitogha na kukwika palyune ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu.”
