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 this One was in the beginning with God;
Anih ce ak cykca awh Khawsa ing awm haih hy nih.
3 all things happened through Him, and without Him not even one thing happened that has happened.
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 shined in the darkness, and the darkness did not perceive it.
Cawhkaw vangnaak ce than ak khuiawh vang hy, cehlai thannaak ing anih ce am sim hy.
6 There came a man—having been sent from God—whose name [is] John,
Khawsa venawh kawng a tyih law thlang pynoet ce awm hy; anih taw Johan mingna hy.
7 this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
Anih ak caming thlang boeih ing amik cangnaak thai aham anih taw cawhkaw vangnaak ak sim sakkung simpyinaak na awm hy.
8 that one was not the Light, but—that he might testify about the Light.
Amah taw vangnaak amni; cehlai cawhkaw vangnaak ak dyih pyi simpyinaak na awm hy.
9 He was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming 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 through Him, and the world did not know Him:
Anih taw khawmdek awh awm hawh hy; amah ing khawmdek ve sai hlai hy, khawmdek ing amah ce am hat hy.
11 He came to [His] own, and [His] own did not receive Him;
Ak thlangkhqi venna law hlai hy, ak thlangkhqi ing anih ce am do uhy.
12 but as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in His Name,
Cehlai amah ce ak dokhqi boeih, ang ming ak cangnaak thlangkhqi boeih a venawh, Khawsa cakhqi na awm thainaak ce pehy.
13 who were begotten, not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.
Pumsa ben kaana, ‘Khawsa a ngaihnaak amyihna ak thang thlangkhqi na awm uhy.
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.
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 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.”
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 we all received out of His fullness, 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 through Moses, the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.
Mosi a venawh kawng anaa awi ce a na pe nawh, qeennaak ingkaw awitak taw Jesu Khrih awhkawng law hy.
18 No one has ever seen God; the only begotten God who is on the bosom of the Father—He has expounded [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 testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites out of Jerusalem, that they might question him, “Who are you?”
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 did not deny, and confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
Anih ce simpyi kaana am awm hy, “Kai ve Khrih amni,” tinawh kqawn hy.
21 And they questioned him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you the 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 they said to him, “Who are you, that we may give an answer to those sending us? What do you say concerning yourself?”
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] a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the LORD, as Isaiah the prophet said.”
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 those sent were of the Pharisees,
Cawh ami tyihkhqi Farasi thlang vang tloek ing,
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?”
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 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,
Johan ing, “Kai ing tui ing baptisma ni pek khqi nyng, cehlai naming lakawh am nami sim thlang pynoet dyi hy.
27 of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the strap of His sandal.”
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 came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
Vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih taw Johan ing baptisma a peeknaak Jordan tui caqai Bethani khaw awh ak awm na awm hy.
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;
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 concerning whom I said, After me comes a Man who has come before me, because 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 did not know Him, but that He might be revealed to Israel, because of this I came immersing in 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 testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit coming down out of Heaven as a dove, and [that] One remained on 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 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;
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 have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.”
Kai ing ka huh hawh dawngawh anih ve Khawsa Capa ni, tice sim pyi nyng,” tihy.
35 On the next day, again, John was standing, 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 having looked on Jesus walking, he says, “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 speaking, 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 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?”
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 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.
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 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed Him;
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 this one first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is, being interpreted, Anointed One),
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 having looked on him, Jesus says, “You are Simon, the son of Jonas, you will be called Cephas,” (which is interpreted, A rock).
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 On the next day He willed to go forth to Galilee, and He finds Philip and says to 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 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;
Andru ingkaw Piter amyihna Philip awm Bethsaida khaw awhkaw thlang na awm hy.
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 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 to him, “Is any good thing able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip said to 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 He says concerning him, “Behold, truly an Israelite, 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 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.”
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 says to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God, You are 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 to him, “Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, you believe; you will 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 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.”
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.
