John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
Aphutna taka han chong alei oma; ma chong ha Pathien kôm aoma, Chong ha ke Pathien ani.
2 this One was in the beginning with God;
Aphutna tak renga han chong hah Pathien kôm ke aom ani.
3 all things happened through Him, and without Him not even one thing happened that has happened.
Neinunngei murdi Pathien sin riempet an nia, ama sin loi neinun inkhat luo omak.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men,
Ma Chong ha ke ringna bulpui ani, male ma ringna hah munisi ngei minvârpu ani.
5 and the light shined in the darkness, and the darkness did not perceive it.
Ma vâr han ijîng a êlminvâra, ijîng han lei khap thei mak.
6 There came a man—having been sent from God—whose name [is] John,
Pathien'n a thangtheipu inkhat a juong tîra, a riming chu John ani,
7 this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
ha mi han vâr thurchi mingei min riet ranga juong ani, ama sikin mitinin an iem theina rangin.
8 that one was not the Light, but—that he might testify about the Light.
Ama hah vâr chu nimaka; vâr thurchi mingei min riet ranga juong ani.
9 He was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming into the world;
Mahi vâr diktak chu ani; rammuola a juonga mingei murdi minvârpu hi.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him:
Chong hah rammuola aoma, male Pathien'n Chong mangin rammuol ha sin khomsenla, rammuolin lei riet thei maka.
11 He came to [His] own, and [His] own did not receive Him;
A mingei nanâk kôm a juonga, aniatachu a mingeiin lei modôm mak ngei.
12 but as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in His Name,
Hankhoma ama modôm ngei kai le ama iem ngei chu Pathien nâi nina a pêk ngei zoi.
13 who were begotten, not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.
Ha mingei hah chu thisena inzir nimak ngeia, taksa nuomlama ânzir khom nimak ngeia, munisi ngei pa nuomlama ânzir khom ni uol mak ngei; Pathien ha kêng an Pa ani.
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.
Hanchu, Chong hah munisi juong changin, moroina le chongtaka sipin ei lâia a juong om zoi. A roiinpuina ei mua, Pathien Nâikhât roiinpuina a man hah.
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.”
John'n a chungroi a misîra, ân ieka, Hi mi thurchi hih ki misîr ani, “Ku nûka juong rangpu hi keima nêka lien uol ani, kên zir mâna a lei om sai ani sikin,” a tia.
16 And we all received out of His fullness, and grace for grace;
A lungkham satvurna akipin ei rêngin ei changa, moroina chunga moroi nôkna.
17 for the Law was given through Moses, the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.
Pathien'n Balam chongpêk Moses a pêka, aniatachu moroina le chongtak chu Jisua Khrista sikin ahong om ani.
18 No one has ever seen God; the only begotten God who is on the bosom of the Father—He has expounded [Him].
Tutên Pathien la mu mak ngeia. A Nâikhât vai, Pathien ân angpui le Pa tienga om ngêt han, a thurchi a min riet zoi.
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?”
Jerusalema Juda rachamneipungei han, “John, hah tumo ani?” ti rekel rangin ochaingei le Levi richisuonpârngei an tîra.
20 And he confessed and did not deny, and confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
John'n ânthârtakin, “Messiah chu ni mu-ung” a lei tipe ngeia.
21 And they questioned him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
“Nônte, Tumo ni ni? Elijah mo ni ni?” tiin an rekela. “Ni mu-ung,” tiin a thuon ngeia. “Dêipu mo ni ni?” tiin an rekela. “Ni mu-ung,” tiin a thuona.
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?”
“Nônte tumo ni ni? mi hongtîr ngei chong kin mele theina rangin mi ril roh. Nu thurchi hi i angin mo ni ti?” an tia.
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.”
John'n dêipu Isaiah chong mangin a thuona: “Keima hi ramchâra mi inkhat tânghâipu ha ki ni: Pumapa lônna rang lampui mintûn roi!”
24 And those sent were of the Pharisees,
Ma thangtheipungei, Phariseengei hongtîr ngei han John an rekel nôka,
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?”
hanchu “Messiah ni ni noa, Elijah mo, Dêipu mo luo ni ni nônte ithomo mi na baptis ngâia?” tiin an rekela.
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,
John'n a thuona, “Keiman chu tui leh ka baptis'a, hannirese nin lâia hin nin riet loi mi inkhat ânding chiena.
27 of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the strap of His sandal.”
Ama hah ku nûka a juong rang ania, kei chu a kekokrûi sût rang luon inhoi mu-ung,” a tia.
28 These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
Mangei hah Bethany khuo nisuo tieng Jordan tuidung râla, John'n a baptisna ngâi muna atung ani.
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;
Anangtûka chu John'n Jisua a kôm hongin a mua male, “En ta u, Pathien Belrite rammuol sietna pêl rangpu soh,” a tia.
30 this is He concerning whom I said, After me comes a Man who has come before me, because He was before me:
Hi mi chungroi hih ani, “Mi ku nûka a juong a oma, aniatachu keima nêka lien uol ani, keima kên zir mâna a omsai ani sikin, ki ti hah.
31 and I did not know Him, but that He might be revealed to Israel, because of this I came immersing in water.”
Tumo ani rang riet mu-ung, nikhomsenla, Israel mingei min riet rangin tuia baptis rangin ku juong ani.”
32 And John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit coming down out of Heaven as a dove, and [that] One remained on Him;
Male John'n hi thurchi hih a misîra: “Ratha hah invân renga juong chumin vasu angin a chunga a juong chum ku mu.
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;
Atûntena keiman chu la riet thei mu-ung, nikhomrese tuia mi baptis ranga mi tîrpu Pathien'n, Ratha hah invân renga juong chumin mi inkhat chunga chuongin mini mûng na ta; ama hih Ratha Inthienga leh mi baptis rangpu ha ani.”
34 and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.”
John'n, “Ama hah ku mu zoi, Nangni ki ril, ama hah Pathien Nâipasal ani,” a tia.
35 On the next day, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,
Anangtûka chu mahan John ha a ruoisi inik ngei lehan ânding nôka,
36 and having looked on Jesus walking, he says, “Behold, the Lamb of God”;
Jisua lôn lâitak a mu lehan. “En ta u, Pathien Belrite soh!” a tia.
37 and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Ma ruoisi inik ngei han a thurchi misîr an rieta Jisua leh an se kelena.
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?”
Jisua ân heia, an hongjûi a mûn chu an kôm, “Khoimo nin rok?” a tipe ngeia. Anni han, “Rabbi, khonmo no om ngâi,” tiin an thuona. (Rabbi ti chu “Minchupu” tina ani).
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.
Ama han, “Hong ungla en roi,” tiin a thuona. (ma zora ha chonûktieng dâr minli inring dôr ani.) Masuole chu an jûia a omna an mua, male mani sûna zora kai chu ama leh an mang minhek zoi.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed Him;
An lâia inkhat ha chu Andrew, Simon Peter lâibungpa ani.
41 this one first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is, being interpreted, Anointed One),
Ama han a upa Simon a mu kelena a kôm, “Messiah hah kin mu zoi,” a tia. (hi chongbâi aomtie chu “Khrista” tina ani.)
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).
Hanchu ama'n Simon hah Jisua kôm a tuonga. Jisua'n Simon hah a lei ena, “Ni riming chu Simon, John nâipasal ni ni, hannirese Kephas, tiin nang koi an ti zoi,” a tia. (Ma hih Peter tina leh munkhat ania, aomtie chu “lungpui” tina ani.)
43 On the next day He willed to go forth to Galilee, and He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow Me.”
Anangtûka chu Jisua Galileea se rangin a masata, Philip a mua, “Ni jûi roh a tipea!”
44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;
(Philip ha Andrew le Peter omna khopui Bethsaida mi ani.)
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!”
Philip han Nathanael a mua a kôm, “A thurchi Moses'n Balam lekhabua a lei miziek le dêipungei khomin an miziek Joseph nâipasal Nazareth Jisua hah kin mu zoi,” tiin a rila.
46 And Nathanael said to him, “Is any good thing able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Nathanael'n a kôm, “Nazareth taka neinun sa asuok thei mini?” tiin a rekela. Philip'n a kôm, “Hongin la, en roh,” tiin a thuona.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and He says concerning him, “Behold, truly an Israelite, in whom is no guile”;
Jisua'n Nathanael a kôma hong a mua, a chungroi a misîra, “Ama hi Israel mi diktak; dikloina reng dôn loi ani!” a tia.
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.”
Nathanael'n, “Kho angin mo mi ni riet?” tiin a rekela. Jisua'n a kôm, “Philip'n nang a koi mân theichang kung nuoia no om lâihan nang ku mu zoi,” tiin a thuona.
49 Nathanael answered and says to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God, You are the King of Israel.”
Nathanael'n a kôm, “Minchupu,” “Pathien Nâipasal ni ni! Israelngei Rêngpa ni ni!” tiin a thuona.
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”;
Jisua'n a tia, “Theichang kung nuoia no om lâia nang ku mu kêng ani zoi nang ki ti sikin ni iem mini? Hi nêka neinun roiinpui uol ok la mûng ni tih!” a tipea.
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.”
Male Jisua'n an kôm, “Chongtak nangni ki ril: invân ajuon onga, Miriem Nâipasal chunga vântîrtonngei an juong chum le an kal, la mûng nin tih,” a tia.
