John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
Panjiti lipaga kuweriti na Shisoweru, Shisoweru kaweriti pamuhera na Mlungu, nayomberi kaweriti Mlungu.
2 this One was in the beginning with God;
Kwanjira kwanja Shisoweru kaweriti pamuhera na Mlungu.
3 all things happened through Him, and without Him not even one thing happened that has happened.
Kupitila shisoweru, Mlungu kawumbiti vintu vyoseri, kwahera ata shintu shimu shawashiwumbitwi pota nayomberi.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men,
Shisoweru ndo shanzu sha makaliru na makaliru aga gajegiti weru kwa wantu.
5 and the light shined in the darkness, and the darkness did not perceive it.
Uweru awu ulangala muntiti na ntiti hapeni izimiziyi uweru awu.
6 There came a man—having been sent from God—whose name [is] John,
Mlungu kamtumiti mjumbi gwakuwi litawu lyakuwi Yohani,
7 this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
Yakiziti kuwapitawulira wantu kuusu uweru awu, su woseri wapikiniriti ujumbi na wamijimiri.
8 that one was not the Light, but—that he might testify about the Light.
Yohani kaweriti ndiri uweru, ira kiziti hera kuwagambira wantu kuusu uweru awu.
9 He was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming into the world;
Awu ndo weru wanakaka, weru wankwiza pasipanu, kuwawalira wantu woseri.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him:
Shisoweru kaweriti pasipanu. Mlungu kanyawiti pasipanu kupitira Shisoweru, kumbiti wantu wa pasipanu wamumana ndiri.
11 He came to [His] own, and [His] own did not receive Him;
Kiziti muisi yakuwi mweni, kumbiti wantu wakuwi mweni wamuwanka ndiri.
12 but as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in His Name,
Kumbiti wamonga yawamuwankiti na kumjimira, awa kawayupiti uwezu wa kuwera wana wa Mlungu.
13 who were begotten, not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.
Womberi waweriti ndiri wana wa Mlungu kwa uwezu wa wantu ama kwa makakala ga nshimba ama kwa kufira kwa muntu, ira Mlungu mweni kawatenditi waweri wana wakuwi.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of [the] only begotten of [the] Father, full of grace and truth.
Shisoweru kaweriti muntu, kalikaliti na twenga, kaweriti upendelewu nentu pamuhera na unakaka. Tuwoniti ukwisa wakuwi, ukwisa yakauwankiti, wa Mwana gwa gweka gwa Tati.
15 John testifies concerning Him, and has cried, saying, “This was He of whom I said, He who is coming after me has come before me, for He was before me.”
Yohani kawagambira wantu kuusu Shisoweru. Kabotanga, “Ayu ndo ulii yanumtakuliti shipindi pantakuliti, ‘Paneni kankwiza muntu yumu, yomberi ndo mkulu kuliku neni, toziya kaweriti kala neni naniyiwuki.’”
16 And we all received out of His fullness, and grace for grace;
Kulawira na upendelewu uvuwa wakuwi, katutekeleriti woseri, katupiti utekeleru na utekeleru.
17 for the Law was given through Moses, the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.
Mlungu katupiti Lilagaliru kupitira Musa, kumbiti upendelewu na unakaka viziti kupitira Yesu Kristu.
18 No one has ever seen God; the only begotten God who is on the bosom of the Father—He has expounded [Him].
Kwahera muntu yakamwoniti Mlungu. Kumbiti Mwana gwa gweka yakaweriti Mlungu na yakaweriti uwega wa Tati gwakuwi, ndo yakatenditi kamanikani.
19 And this is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites out of Jerusalem, that they might question him, “Who are you?”
Awu ndo upitawu wa Yohani kwa wakulu wa Wayawudi Yerusalemu kulii pawawatumiti watambika wamu na wantu wa ukowu wa Lawi wa numba ya Mlungu wagendi kwa Yohani wamkosiyi, “Gwenga gwa gaa?”
20 And he confessed and did not deny, and confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
Yohani kalemiti ndiri kuwankula, ira katakuliti pota na kufifa, kalongiti, “Neni na Kristu ndiri yakasyagulitwi na Mlungu kuwalopoziya wantu.”
21 And they questioned him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
Womberi wamkosiya, “Su, gwenga gwa gaa? Gwenga gwa Eliya?” Yohani kawankula, “Ndala, neni ndiri.” Wamkosiya kayi, “Gwenga ndo ulii Mbuyi gwa Mlungu yawamtakuliti?” Yohani Kawankula, “Ndala!”
22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, that we may give an answer to those sending us? What do you say concerning yourself?”
Nawomberi wamgambira, “Su, gutugambiri gwenga gwa gaa? Su gutakula hashi kuusu gumweni? Hatugendi kutakula ntambu yagutuwankula kwa walii yawatutumiti.”
23 He said, “I [am] a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the LORD, as Isaiah the prophet said.”
Yohani kawankula ntambu yakalembiti Isaya mbuyi gwa Mlungu, “Neni ndo liziwu lya muntu yakabotanga mushiwala, ‘Mnyawi njira yakupitira Mtuwa!’”
24 And those sent were of the Pharisees,
Wajumbi yawatumitwi na Mafalisayu,
25 and they questioned him and said to him, “Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
wamkosiyiti Yohani, “Paguwera ndiri Kristu, ama Eliya, ama ulii Mbuyi gwa Mlungu, iwera hashi gubatiza?”
26 John answered them, saying, “I immerse in water, but in the midst of you has stood He whom you have not known, it is this One who is coming after me, who has been before me,
Yohani kawankula, “Neni mbatiza kwa mashi, kumbiti kwana yumu pakati penu yamummana ndiri.
27 of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the strap of His sandal.”
Paneni kankwiza, neni herepa ndiri ata kuyopola lugoyi zya vilyatu vyakuwi.”
28 These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
Vitwatila vyoseri vyavilawiriti Betaniya kusika mwa lushemba lwa Yoridani, pahala Yohani pakawera kankubatiza.
29 On the next day John sees Jesus coming to him and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;
Shirawu yakuwi, Yohani kamwoniti Yesu kankumwizira. Yohani katakula, “Ayu ndo Mwana Kondolu gwa Mlungu, yakawusiya vidoda vya wantu wa pasipanu!
30 this is He concerning whom I said, After me comes a Man who has come before me, because He was before me:
Ayu ndo ulii yanumtakuliti, pantakuliti, ‘Paneni kamkwiza muntu yumu mkulu kuliku neni, toziya kaweriti kala neni haneniyiwuki.’
31 and I did not know Him, but that He might be revealed to Israel, because of this I came immersing in water.”
Namweni numumaniti ndiri, kumbiti niziti kubatiza kwa mashi su yomberi kamanikana kwa wantu wa Israeli.”
32 And John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit coming down out of Heaven as a dove, and [that] One remained on Him;
Na awu ndo upitawu Yohani yakautakuliti, “Moniti Rohu Mnanagala kankusuluka gambira nkunda pakiza kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu na kumkangalira.
33 and I did not know Him, but He who sent me to immerse in water, He said to me, On whomsoever you may see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on Him, this is He who is immersing in the Holy Spirit;
Neni numumana ndiri kuwera yomberi ndo uliya yanumtakuliti, su Mlungu yakantumiti neni kubatiza kwa mashi, kang'ambiriti, ‘Hagumwoni Rohu pakamsulukira muntu kulawa kumpindi, ndo ulii yakabatiza kwa Rohu Mnanagala.’
34 and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.”
Yohani katakuliti, Neni moniti, nuwagambirani nakaka kuwera ayu ndo Mwana gwa Mlungu.”
35 On the next day, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,
Shirawu yakuwi, Yohani kaweriti kayi paliya pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi wawili,
36 and having looked on Jesus walking, he says, “Behold, the Lamb of God”;
pakamwoniti Yesu kankupita katakula, “Ayu ndo Mwana Kondolu gwa Mlungu.”
37 and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Wafundwa wawili pawapikaniriti aga, su wagenditi pamuhera na Yesu.
38 And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, says to them, “What do you seek?” And they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is, being interpreted, Teacher), “where do You remain?”
Yesu kagalambukiti, kawawoniti wankumfata, su kawakosiya, “Mwankusakula shishi?” Womberi wamwankula, “Rabi” mana yakuwi “mfunda” gulikala koshi?
39 He says to them, “Come and see”; they came and saw where He remains, and they remained with Him that day and the hour was about the tenth.
Yesu kawagambira, “Mwizi na mloli.” Iweriti handa saa lilongu pamihi. Su wagenditi pamuhera na yomberi na wapawoniti pahala pakalikaliti. Walikaliti pamuhera na Yesu lishaka lyoseri.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed Him;
Andereya, mlongu gwa Simoni Peteru, yakampikiniriti Yohani pakalonga na mweni kamfatiti Yesu.
41 this one first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is, being interpreted, Anointed One),
Andereya kamwoniti kwanja mlongu gwakuwi Simoni, kamgambira, “Tumwoniti ulii Mlopoziya yakasyaguritwi na Mlungu” Ayu ndo Kristu Mlopoziya.
42 and he brought him to Jesus: and having looked on him, Jesus says, “You are Simon, the son of Jonas, you will be called Cephas,” (which is interpreted, A rock).
Su wamjegiti Simoni kwa Yesu. Yesu kamlola Simoni na kalonga, “Litawu lyaku ndo Simoni mwana gwa Yohani, Kumbiti hagushemwi Kefa.” Kwa Shigiriki ndo Peteru, mana yakuwi “Litalawu.”
43 On the next day He willed to go forth to Galilee, and He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow Me.”
Shirawu yakuwi Yesu kaamuwiti kugenda Galilaya. Su kamwoniti Filipu, kamgambira, “Gunfati!”
44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;
Filipu kaweriti mwenikaya gwa Betisayida, lushi lyawalikaliti ashina Andereya na Peteru.
45 Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the Prophets, we have found, Jesus the Son of Joseph, who [is] from Nazareth!”
Filipu kamwoniti Nataniyeri na kamgambira, “Tumwona ulii mweni Musa kamlembiti mushitabu sha Malagaliru na wambuyi wa Mlungu walembiti kuusu mweni. Mweni ndo Yesu mwana gwa Yosefu, kulawa Nazareti.”
46 And Nathanael said to him, “Is any good thing able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Nataniyeri kamkosiya Filipu, “Kwana shintu shoseri shiherepa shiza kulawa Nazareti?” Filipu kamwankula, “Gwizi guloli.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and He says concerning him, “Behold, truly an Israelite, in whom is no guile”;
Yesu pakamwoniti Nataniyeri kankumwizira, katakuliti kuusu yomberi, “Mloli! Ayu ndo Mwisraeli nakaka, kwahera shinika kwakuwi.”
48 Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip’s calling you, being under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Nataniyeri kamkosiya “Gumana ashi neni?” Yesu kamwankula, “Pamberi pa Filipu kukushema, nukuwoniti pagulivagiti pasi pa mtera gwa mkuyu.”
49 Nathanael answered and says to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God, You are the King of Israel.”
Nataniyeri kamwankula, “mfunda, Gwenga ndo Mwana gwa Mlungu! Gwenga gwa Mfalumi gwa Israeli!”
50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, you believe; you will see greater things than these”;
Yesu kamgambira, “Hashi, gujimira toziya nukugambiriti kuwera nukuwoniti pasi pa mtera gwa mkuyu? Haguwoni vikulu nentu vivuwa kuliku avi!”
51 and He says to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, from now on you will see Heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down on the Son of Man.”
Na Yesu kawagambiriti womberi, “Nankuwagambirani mwenga nakaka, hamuwoni kumpindi kwa Mlungu kuvuguka na wantumintumi wa kumpindi pawakwena na kumsulukira Mwana gwa Muntu.”
