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 The same was in the beginning with God.
Anih ce ak cykca awh Khawsa ing awm haih hy nih.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
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 shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended 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, whose name was John.
Khawsa venawh kawng a tyih law thlang pynoet ce awm hy; anih taw Johan mingna hy.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
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 that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
Amah taw vangnaak amni; cehlai cawhkaw vangnaak ak dyih pyi simpyinaak na awm hy.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Thlang boeih ak coeikung vangnaak tang tang ce khawmdek awh law hy.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by 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 unto 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 accepted him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them 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 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Pumsa ben kaana, ‘Khawsa a ngaihnaak amyihna ak thang thlangkhqi na awm uhy.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, ( and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the 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 bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh 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 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for 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, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Mosi a venawh kawng anaa awi ce a na pe nawh, qeennaak ingkaw awitak taw Jesu Khrih awhkawng law hy.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which 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 record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, 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 confessed, and denied not; but confessed, 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 Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that 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 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that 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 way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
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 which were sent were of the Pharisees.
Cawh ami tyihkhqi Farasi thlang vang tloek ing,
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that 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 baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
Johan ing, “Kai ing tui ing baptisma ni pek khqi nyng, cehlai naming lakawh am nami sim thlang pynoet dyi hy.
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet 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 were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih taw Johan ing baptisma a peeknaak Jordan tui caqai Bethani khaw awh ak awm na awm hy.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh 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 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for 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 should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing 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 bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, 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 that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
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 saw, and bare record 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 the next day after John stood, 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 upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, 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 speak, and they followed Jesus.
Cawhkaw awi ce a hubat thlang pakkhih ing a ning zaak awh, Jesu a hu awh ce bat hy nih.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, ( which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwellest 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 saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for 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 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
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 findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the 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 brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonah: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A 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 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto 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 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Andru ingkaw Piter amyihna Philip awm Bethsaida khaw awhkaw thlang na awm hy.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
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 unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto 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 saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom 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 saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto 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 saith unto 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 unto him, Because I said unto 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 saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon 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.
