John 1
1 IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
A cikin farko akwai Kalma, Kalmar kuma tana tare da Allah, wannan Kalma kuwa Allah ne.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Shi kuwa tare da Allah yake tun farko.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not one thing made that was made.
Dukan abu ta wurinsa aka yi su, babu abin da aka halitta sai ta wurin sa.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
A cikinsa rai ya ke, kuma wannan rai ya zama haske ga dukan mutane.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Hasken ya haskaka a cikin duhu, kuma duhun bai rinjaye shi ba.
6 A man was sent from God, whose name was John.
Akwai wani mutum wanda Allah ya aiko, mai suna Yahaya.
7 He came for a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light, that all men through him might believe.
Ya zo a matsayin mai ba da shaida game da hasken, domin kowa ya ba da gaskiya ta wurinsa.
8 He was not the Light, but sent that he should bear testimony concerning the Light.
Ba Yahaya ne hasken ba, amma ya zo ne domin ya shaida hasken.
9 He was that true Light, which illumines every man by his coming into the world.
Wannan shine haske na gaskiya mai ba da haske ga dukan mutane, da ke zuwa cikin duniya.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Yana cikin duniya, kuma an halicci duniya ta wurinsa, amma duniya bata san shi ba.
11 He came unto his peculiar people, and his peculiar people did not receive him.
Ya zo wurin nasa, amma nasa basu karbe shi ba.
12 But as many as did receive him, on them he bestowed authority to become children of God, even on those who believe on his name:
Amma duk iyakar wadanda suka karbe shi, suka kuma ba da gaskiya ga sunansa, ya ba su 'yanci su zama 'ya'yan Allah.
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Wadanda aka haife su ba ta wurin jini ba, ko ta wurin nufin jiki, ko nufin mutum, amma ta wurin Allah.
14 And the Word became incarnate, and tabernacled with us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
Kalmar kuma ya zama jiki ya zauna cikin mu. Mun ga daukakarsa, daukaka irin ta makadaici shi kadai wanda ya zo daga Uban, cike da alheri da gaskiya.
15 John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that is coming after me, is before me: because before me he was.
Yahaya ya yi shaida akansa yana kira da karfi, cewa, “Wannan shine wanda na yi magana a kansa cewa, 'Shi wanda ke zuwa bayana, ya fi ni, domin ya kasance kafin ni.'”
16 And from his plenitude we all have received, even grace corresponding with his grace.
Domin daga cikarsa ne muka karbi alheri akan alheri.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but the grace and the reality came by Jesus Christ.
Gama shari'a ta zo daga wurin Musa. Alheri da gaskiya sun zo ta wurin Yesu Almasihu.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath thoroughly described him.
Babu lokacin da wani ya taba ganin Allah, shi wanda shi kadai ne Allah, wanda ke jingine da kirjin Uba, shi ya bayyana shi.
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they should question him, Who art thou?
Wannan ita ce shaidar Yahaya sa'adda Yahudawa suka aika da Firistoci da Lawiyawa zuwa gareshi don su tambaye shi, “Wanene kai?”
20 And he confessed, and denied it not; but acknowledged, I am not the Messiah.
Ya fada dalla dalla, kuma bai musunta ba, yana amsa masu cewa, “ba nine Almasihu ba.”
21 And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? and he said, I am not. Art thou that prophet? and he answered, No.
Sai suka tambaye shi, “To kai wanene? Kai Iliya ne?” Yace, “Ba ni ba ne.” Suka ce, “Kai ne anabin?” Ya amsa, “A'a”.
22 Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us: What description givest thou of thyself?
Sai suka ce masa, “Kai wanene, domin mu bada amsa ga wadanda suka aiko mu? Me kake fadi game da kanka?”
23 He said, I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way for the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
Yace, “Ni murya ne, da ke kira cikin jeji, 'Ku daidaita hanyar Ubangiji,' kamar yadda annabi Ishaya ya fada.”
24 And they who were sent, were of the Pharisees.
Su wadanda aka aika daga wurin Farisawa suke. Sai suka tambaye shi cewa,
25 And they questioned him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptise, if thou be not the Messiah, nor Elias, nor that prophet?
“To don me kake baftisma idan kai ba Almasihu bane, ko Iliya, ko annabin?”.
26 John answered them, saying, I baptise with water: but in the midst of you hath stood a person, whom ye have not known;
Yahaya ya amsa masu, cewa, “Ina baftisma ne da ruwa. Amma a cikinku akwai wani tsaye wanda ba ku sani ba,
27 it is he, though coming after me, who was before me, the thong of whole sandal I am not worthy to untie.
shi wanda ke zuwa bayana, wanda ko igiyar takalminsa ban isa in kwance ba.”
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptising.
Wadannan abubuwa sun faru ne a Baitanya, a dayan ketaren Urdun, a wurin da Yahaya ke Baftisma.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world,
Washegari, Yahaya ya ga Yesu yana zuwa wurinsa ya ce, “Duba, ga Dan Ragon Allah wanda ke dauke zunubin duniya!
30 This is he of whom I spake, After me cometh a man who was before me: for before me he existed.
Wannan shine wanda na fada maku cewa, “Shi wanda ke zuwa bayana ya fi ni, domin ya kasance kafin ni.'
31 And I knew him not: though that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore am I come baptising with water.
Ban san shi ba, amma saboda a bayyana shi ga Isra'ila ne nazo ina baftisma da ruwa. “
32 And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it rested upon him.
Yahaya ya shaida, cewa, “Na ga Ruhu yana saukowa kamar kurciya daga sama, ya kuma zauna a kansa.
33 And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost.
Ban gane shi ba, amma shi wanda ya aiko ni in yi baftisma cikin ruwa ya fada mani cewa, 'duk wanda ka ga Ruhun ya sauka kuma ya zauna a kansa, shine wanda ke yin baftisma cikin Ruhu mai tsarki.'
34 And I have seen it, and have borne testimony that this is the Son of God.
Na gani, na kuma shaida cewa wannan shine Dan Allah.”
35 On the morrow John was again standing with two of his disciples;
Kuma, washegari, da Yahaya na tsaye da biyu daga cikin almajiransa,
36 and looking upon Jesus as he walked by, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
suka ga Yesu na wucewa, sai Yahaya ya ce, “Duba, ga Dan rago na Allah!”
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Sai almajiransa biyu suka ji ya fadi haka, suka kuwa bi Yesu.
38 Then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, saith to them, What are ye seeking? They said unto him, Rabbi (which signifies, when translated, Master), where is thy abode?
Da Yesu ya waiwaya ya gan su suna bin sa, sai ya ce masu, “Me kuke so?” Suka amsa, “Rabbi (wato 'Mallam'), ina kake da zama?”
39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he abode, and continued with him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.
Yace masu, “Zo ku gani.” Sai suka zo suka ga inda yake zama; suka zauna da shi ranan nan, gama wajen sa'a ta goma ne.
40 One of the two, who had heard from John mention of Jesus, and had followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Daya daga cikin wadanda suka ji maganar Yahaya suka kuma bi Yesu shine Andarawus, dan'uwan Siman Bitrus.
41 He first finds his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being translated, the Christ).
Ya fara neman dan'uwansa Siman yace masa, “Mun sami Almasihu” (wanda ake kira 'Kristi').
42 And he brought him to Jesus. Then Jesus looking on him, said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas: thou shalt be called Cephas, which, interpreted in Greek, is Petros, a Rock.
Ya kawo shi wurin Yesu. Yesu ya dube shi yace, “Kai ne Siman dan Yahaya. Za a kira ka Kefas,” (ma'ana, 'Bitrus').
43 The next day Jesus resolved to go into Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me.
Washegari, da Yesu yana shirin tafiya zuwa Galili, sai ya sami Filibus, ya ce masa, “ka biyo ni.”
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filibus dan asalin Baitsaida ne, garin Andarawus da Bitrus.
45 Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith to him, We have found him whom Moses in the law has described, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.
Filibus ya sami Natana'ilu yace masa, “Mun same shi, shi wanda Musa ya rubuta shi a cikin attaura, da annabawa: Yesu Dan Yusufu, Ba-Nazarat.”
46 And Nathaniel said to him, Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
Natana'ilu ya ce masa, “za a iya samun wani abu nagari a Nazarat?” Filibus yace masa, “Zo ka gani.”
47 Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite in reality, in whom there is no guile!
Yesu ya ga Natana'ilu yana zuwa wurinsa sai yayi magana game da shi, “Duba, Ba-Isra'ile na hakika wanda babu yaudara a cikinsa.”
48 Nathaniel saith unto him, From whence canst thou know me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
Natana'ilu yace masa, “Ta yaya ka san ni?” Sai Yesu ya amsa masa yace, “Tun kafin Filibus ya kira ka, sa'adda kake a gindin baure, na gan ka.”
49 Nathaniel answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the king of Israel.
Natana'ilu ya amsa, “Rabbi, Kai Dan Allah ne! Kai Sarkin Isra'ila ne!”
50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater things than these.
Yesu ya amsa masa yace, “Don na ce maka, 'Na gan ka a gindin Baure', ka gaskanta? Za ka ga abubuwa da suka fi wannan girma.”
51 And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I tell you, From henceforth ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Sai yace, 'Hakika, hakika ina gaya maka, zaka ga sammai a bude, mala'ikun Allah kuma suna hawa suna sauka akan Dan Mutum.”
