John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
Chikanaŵe gumbikwa chachilichose jwapali jumo jwaŵilanjikwe Liloŵe, nombe jwele liloŵe jo ŵaliji pamo ni Akunnungu, nombejo ŵaliji Akunnungu.
2 this One was in the beginning with God;
Chitandilile kundanda Liloŵe jo ŵaliji ni Akunnungu.
3 all things happened through Him, and without Him not even one thing happened that has happened.
Indu yose yagumbichikwe ni ŵelewo ni pangali ŵelewo nganichipagwa chachili chose chichagumbichikwe.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men,
Jwelejo ŵaliji ndande ja umi ni wele umi wo uichenawo lilanguka kwa ŵandu.
5 and the light shined in the darkness, and the darkness did not perceive it.
Ni lyele lilanguka lyo likulanguchisya mu chipi atamuno chipi cho ngachikukombola kulisima lilanguka.
6 There came a man—having been sent from God—whose name [is] John,
Akunnungu ŵantumile mundu jumpepe liina lyakwe Yohana,
7 this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
jwelejo ŵaiche kukwasalila ŵandu umboni nkati lilanguka lyo, kuti ŵandu wose apilikane ni kukulupilila.
8 that one was not the Light, but—that he might testify about the Light.
Che Yohana nsyene nganaŵa lilanguka lyo nambo ŵaiche kukwasalila ŵandu pangasisa nkati lilanguka lyo.
9 He was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming into the world;
Lyelelyo lili lilanguka lisyene, lilanguka lyalikwika pachilambo ni kwalanguchisya ŵandu wose.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him:
Jwelejo jwapali pachilambo pano ni kwa jwelejo Akunnungu ŵachigumbile chilambo nambo ŵandu ŵa pachilambo nganiŵamanyilila.
11 He came to [His] own, and [His] own did not receive Him;
Ŵaiche kwa ŵandu ŵakwe nsyene, nambo ŵandu ŵakwe nganiŵapochela.
12 but as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in His Name,
Nambo ŵanawose ŵaŵaapochele ni kwakulupilila, ŵaatesile akombole kuŵa ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu,
13 who were begotten, not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.
aŵele ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu ngaŵa kwa kupagwa mpela ŵandu yakuti pa kupagwa ni ngaŵa kwa kusaka kwa mundu nambo apagwile kwa usache wakwe Akunnungu.
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.
Nombe Liloŵe jo ŵaliji mundu ni ŵatemi noweji. Ni uweji tuuweni ukulu wao, ukulu wao jwelejo jwajikape jwatyosile kwa Atati Akunnungu, aguumbele umbone ni usyene.
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.”
Che Yohana nsyene paŵambweni ŵaasalile ŵandu ngani jankati jwelejo kwa kunyanyisya achitiji, “Aju ni jwejula junangambaga katema panasasile kuti, ‘Akwika mundu jumo kanyuma kangu jwali jwankulungwa kumbunda une, pakuŵa jwapali uneji ngunaŵe kupagwa.’”
16 And we all received out of His fullness, and grace for grace;
Malinga ni winji wa umbone wao, uweji wose tupochele ntuuka wejinji nnope.
17 for the Law was given through Moses, the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵagaichisye Malajisyo kwa litala li che Musa nambo umbone wa Akunnungu ni usyene ituichile kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito.
18 No one has ever seen God; the only begotten God who is on the bosom of the Father—He has expounded [Him].
Ngapagwa mundu juŵambweni Akunnungu katema kakalikose. Mwana jwajikape, jwaali Akunnungu jwausyene, ni jwakunonyelwa ni Atati, jwelejo ni jwatumanyisye Akunnungu.
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?”
Au uli umboni wautyosisye che Yohana, katema ilongola ŵa Ŵayahudi kutyochela ku Yelusalemu paŵaatumile ŵambopesi ni Ŵalawi kukwausya, “Ana mmwe ndi ŵaani?”
20 And he confessed and did not deny, and confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
Che Yohana nganakaana kwanga, ŵajitichisye pangasisa, “Uneji nguniŵa Kilisito Jwakuwombola.”
21 And they questioned him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
Pelepo ŵambusisye, “Sambano mmwe ndi ŵaani? Ana mmwe ni che Elia?” Che Yohana ŵajanjile, “Une nguniŵa che Elia.” Ni ŵambusisye sooni, “Ana mmwe ndi jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu jula juŵatite akwika?” Che Yohana ŵajanjile, “Ngwamba.”
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?”
Ni ŵanyawo ŵambusisye, “Sambano mmwe ndi ŵaani? Nkuliŵalanga ichichi? Ntusalile tukaasalile aŵala ŵatutumile kukumbusya.”
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.”
Che Yohana ŵajanjile, mpela ila che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu iŵang'ambaga, “Uneji ndili mundu jungunyanyisya liloŵe mwipululu, ‘Njongole litala lya Ambuje.’”
24 And those sent were of the Pharisees,
Ni aŵala ŵandu ŵaŵalajiswe ni Mafalisayo,
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?”
ŵambusisye che Yohana, “Iŵaga mmwe nganimma Kilisito Jwakuwombola pane che Elia pane jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu jula, kwachichi nkubatisya?”
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,
Che Yohana ŵajanjile, “Uneji ngubatisya ni meesi, nambo apali jumo mwa ŵanyamwe, jwangankummanyilila.
27 of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the strap of His sandal.”
Ni jwejula jwakwika kanyuma, une nganguŵajilwa kuŵa katumetume jwakuugula migoji ja italawanda yao.”
28 These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
Yelei yatendekwe mmusi wa ku Besania peesi lusulo lwa Yolodani apala che Yohana paŵabatisyaga ŵandu.
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;
Malaŵi jakwe, che Yohana ŵambweni Che Yesu aninkwaichilila ni ŵatite, “Nnole, jweleju ali Mwanangondolo jwa Akunnungu jwakwigala sambi sya ŵandu ŵa pachilambo!
30 this is He concerning whom I said, After me comes a Man who has come before me, because He was before me:
Ajuju ni jwejula junangambaga panatite, ‘Kanyuma akwika mundu jumo jwali jwankulungwa kuumbunda une, pakuŵa jwapali uneji ngunaŵe kupagwa!’
31 and I did not know Him, but that He might be revealed to Israel, because of this I came immersing in water.”
Uneji nganinaamanyilila, nambo nyiche kukubatisya ni meesi kuti ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli ŵaamanyilile.”
32 And John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit coming down out of Heaven as a dove, and [that] One remained on Him;
Che Yohana ŵatusalile indu iyaiweni achitiji, “Nambweni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu achitulukaga kutyochela kwinani mpela nguunda ni kwatula pachanya pao.
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;
Uneji nganinaamanyilila nambo jwelejo juŵandumile ngabatisye ni meesi ŵaasalile, ‘Jwelejo juchimwaone ali nkutuluchilwa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni kwatula pachanya pao, jwelejo ni juchabatisye ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.’”
34 and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.”
Nipele che Yohana ŵatite, “Uneji naiweni yeleyi ni malasile umboni kuti ajuju ni Mwana jwa Akunnungu.”
35 On the next day, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,
Malaŵi jakwe, che Yohana ŵaliji sooni ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaŵili.
36 and having looked on Jesus walking, he says, “Behold, the Lamb of God”;
Paŵaweni Che Yesu ali nkupita, ŵatite, “Munnole, ajuju ali Mwanangondolo jwa Akunnungu.”
37 and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Ni aŵala ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili paŵampilikene che Yohana achiŵechetaga maloŵe go, ŵaakuiye Che 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?”
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵagalawiche, ŵaweni ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili ŵa che Yohana achakuyaga ŵausisye, “Ana nkusosanga ichichi?” Ni ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Labi, ana nkutama kwapi?” Labi malumbo gakwe Jwakwiganya.
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.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Njisangane ni ŵanyamwe chimmone.” Ŵakulijiganya wo ŵaakuiye, ŵapaweni paŵatamaga, jaliji mpela saa kumi ja ligulo ni ŵanyawo ŵatemi nawo lyuŵa lila.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed Him;
Jumo jwa aŵala ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili ŵaŵampilikene che Yohana achiŵechetaga maloŵe go ni kwakuya Che Yesu ŵaliji che Andulea, mpwao che Simoni Petulo.
41 this one first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is, being interpreted, Anointed One),
Che Andulea ŵansimene kaje che Simoni mpwakwe, ni ŵansalile, “Tummweni Masiya,” yaani “Kilisito Jwakuwombola”.
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).
Nipele, ŵanjawisye ku Che Yesu. Ni Che Yesu ŵannolite che Simoni ni ŵatite, “Mmwejo ni che Simoni mwanagwao che Yohana. Sano chimmilanjikwe che Kefa.” Mchigiliki Petulo, malumbo gakwe, “Lwala.”
43 On the next day He willed to go forth to Galilee, and He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow Me.”
Malaŵi jakwe Che Yesu ŵapite ku chilambo cha Galilaya. Nipele ŵansimene che Filipo ni kunsalila, “Munguye.”
44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;
Che Filipo ŵaliji mundu jwa musi wa ku Besesaida, musi uŵatamaga che Andulea ni che Petulo.
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!”
Nipele che Filipo ŵansosile che Nasanieli, ni paŵammweni ŵansalile, “Tummweni ajula juŵalembekwe mmalajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ni mu itabu ya ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu, Che Yesu kutyochela musi wa ku Nasaleti Mwana ju che Yusufu.”
46 And Nathanael said to him, “Is any good thing able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Nombe che Nasanieli ŵambusisye che Filipo, “Ana chindu chambone chikukomboleka kutyochela ku Nasaleti?” Che Filipo ŵansalile, “Njise kunnole.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and He says concerning him, “Behold, truly an Israelite, in whom is no guile”;
Che Yesu paŵambweni che Nasanieli achaichililaga ŵatite, “Nnole! Jwele ali Mwisilaeli nsyenesyene, nkati mwakwe mwangali unami.”
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.”
Che Nasanieli ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Ana mumanyilile chinauli?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Akanammilanje che Filipo, nambweni ndi ntemi paasi pa chitela cha ntini pala.”
49 Nathanael answered and says to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God, You are the King of Israel.”
Pelepo che Nasanieli ŵatite, “Jwakwiganya, mmwe ndi Mwana jwa Akunnungu, mmwe ndi Mwenye jwa ku Isilaeli!”
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”;
Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Ana mungulupilile pakuŵa nansalile kuti nammweni paasi pa chitela cha ntini pala? Chingawone gamakulungwa kupunda gelega.”
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.”
Che Yesu ŵajendelechele kusala, “Isyene ngunsalila, chinkuwone kwinani kweugule ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu achikwelaga ni kutuluka pa Mwana jwa Mundu.”
