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 He was in the beginning with God.
Kwanjira kwanja Shisoweru kaweriti pamuhera na Mlungu.
3 All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
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 humanity.
Shisoweru ndo shanzu sha makaliru na makaliru aga gajegiti weru kwa wantu.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
Uweru awu ulangala muntiti na ntiti hapeni izimiziyi uweru awu.
6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was Yukhanan.
Mlungu kamtumiti mjumbi gwakuwi litawu lyakuwi Yohani,
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Yakiziti kuwapitawulira wantu kuusu uweru awu, su woseri wapikiniriti ujumbi na wamijimiri.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Yohani kaweriti ndiri uweru, ira kiziti hera kuwagambira wantu kuusu uweru awu.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was 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, but the world did not recognize him.
Shisoweru kaweriti pasipanu. Mlungu kanyawiti pasipanu kupitira Shisoweru, kumbiti wantu wa pasipanu wamumana ndiri.
11 He came to his own, and those who were 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 the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,
Kumbiti wamonga yawamuwankiti na kumjimira, awa kawayupiti uwezu wa kuwera wana wa Mlungu.
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the 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 lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only 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 Yukhanan testified about him. He shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed 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 For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
Kulawira na upendelewu uvuwa wakuwi, katutekeleriti woseri, katupiti utekeleru na utekeleru.
17 For the Law was given through Mushe, grace and truth came through Yeshua Meshikha.
Mlungu katupiti Lilagaliru kupitira Musa, kumbiti upendelewu na unakaka viziti kupitira Yesu Kristu.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
Kwahera muntu yakamwoniti Mlungu. Kumbiti Mwana gwa gweka yakaweriti Mlungu na yakaweriti uwega wa Tati gwakuwi, ndo yakatenditi kamanikani.
19 And this is Yukhanan's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Urishlim to ask 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, but he confessed, "I am not the Meshikha."
Yohani kalemiti ndiri kuwankula, ira katakuliti pota na kufifa, kalongiti, “Neni na Kristu ndiri yakasyagulitwi na Mlungu kuwalopoziya wantu.”
21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Eliya?" And he said, "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 They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about 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 the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Eshaya the prophet said."
Yohani kawankula ntambu yakalembiti Isaya mbuyi gwa Mlungu, “Neni ndo liziwu lya muntu yakabotanga mushiwala, ‘Mnyawi njira yakupitira Mtuwa!’”
24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
Wajumbi yawatumitwi na Mafalisayu,
25 And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Meshikha, nor Eliya, nor the Prophet?"
wamkosiyiti Yohani, “Paguwera ndiri Kristu, ama Eliya, ama ulii Mbuyi gwa Mlungu, iwera hashi gubatiza?”
26 Yukhanan answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
Yohani kawankula, “Neni mbatiza kwa mashi, kumbiti kwana yumu pakati penu yamummana ndiri.
27 He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
Paneni kankwiza, neni herepa ndiri ata kuyopola lugoyi zya vilyatu vyakuwi.”
28 These things were done in Beth-Naiya across the Yurdinan, where Yukhanan was baptizing.
Vitwatila vyoseri vyavilawiriti Betaniya kusika mwa lushemba lwa Yoridani, pahala Yohani pakawera kankubatiza.
29 The next day, he saw Yeshua coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes 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 of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
Ayu ndo ulii yanumtakuliti, pantakuliti, ‘Paneni kamkwiza muntu yumu mkulu kuliku neni, toziya kaweriti kala neni haneniyiwuki.’
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israyel."
Namweni numumaniti ndiri, kumbiti niziti kubatiza kwa mashi su yomberi kamanikana kwa wantu wa Israeli.”
32 And Yukhanan testified, saying, "I saw the Rukha descending like a dove out of heaven, and it 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 recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Rukha descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Rukha d'Qudsha.'
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 Chosen One of God."
Yohani katakuliti, Neni moniti, nuwagambirani nakaka kuwera ayu ndo Mwana gwa Mlungu.”
35 Again, the next day, Yukhanan was standing with two of his disciples,
Shirawu yakuwi, Yohani kaweriti kayi paliya pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi wawili,
36 and he looked at Yeshua as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
pakamwoniti Yesu kankupita katakula, “Ayu ndo Mwana Kondolu gwa Mlungu.”
37 And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Yeshua.
Wafundwa wawili pawapikaniriti aga, su wagenditi pamuhera na Yesu.
38 And Yeshua turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
Yesu kagalambukiti, kawawoniti wankumfata, su kawakosiya, “Mwankusakula shishi?” Womberi wamwankula, “Rabi” mana yakuwi “mfunda” gulikala koshi?
39 He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
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 One of the two who heard Yukhanan, and followed him, was Andreus, Shimon Kipha's brother.
Andereya, mlongu gwa Simoni Peteru, yakampikiniriti Yohani pakalonga na mweni kamfatiti Yesu.
41 He first found his own brother, Shimon, and said to him, "We have found the Meshikha." (which is translated, Anointed One).
Andereya kamwoniti kwanja mlongu gwakuwi Simoni, kamgambira, “Tumwoniti ulii Mlopoziya yakasyaguritwi na Mlungu” Ayu ndo Kristu Mlopoziya.
42 He brought him to Yeshua. Yeshua looked at him, and said, "You are Shimon the son of Yukhanan. You shall be called Kipha" (which is translated, 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 was determined to go out into Galila, and he found Philipus. And Yeshua said to him, "Follow me."
Shirawu yakuwi Yesu kaamuwiti kugenda Galilaya. Su kamwoniti Filipu, kamgambira, “Gunfati!”
44 Now Philipus was from Beth-Sayada, of the city of Andreus and Kipha.
Filipu kaweriti mwenikaya gwa Betisayida, lushi lyawalikaliti ashina Andereya na Peteru.
45 Philipus found Nathanayil, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Mushe in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Yeshua of Natsrath, the son of Yauseph."
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 Nathanayil said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Natsrath?" Philipus said to him, "Come and see."
Nataniyeri kamkosiya Filipu, “Kwana shintu shoseri shiherepa shiza kulawa Nazareti?” Filipu kamwankula, “Gwizi guloli.”
47 Yeshua saw Nathanayil coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israyelite in whom there is no deceit."
Yesu pakamwoniti Nataniyeri kankumwizira, katakuliti kuusu yomberi, “Mloli! Ayu ndo Mwisraeli nakaka, kwahera shinika kwakuwi.”
48 Nathanayil said to him, "How do you know me?" Yeshua answered him, "Before Philipus called you, when you were 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 Nathanayil answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israyel."
Nataniyeri kamwankula, “mfunda, Gwenga ndo Mwana gwa Mlungu! Gwenga gwa Mfalumi gwa Israeli!”
50 Yeshua answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do 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 said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending 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.”
