Yochanan 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Pavutengulelo pala nie limenyu, nie limenyu lwale paninie nu Nguluve, nie limenyu ahava ve Nguluve.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Elimenyu elwavutengulile lwale paninie nu Nguluve.
3 All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
Ifinu fyoni fyavombikhe ukhugendela khumwene, upwasipali umwene sakhikhavombekha ekhenu khyokhyoni.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
Igati mumwene mwalemo nu wumi, nu wumu uwa wale lumuli lwa vanuvoni.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
Utumuli lumulekha mukhisi, pakhuva ekhisi sayikhanchimye.
6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Pale nu munu uvyasukhiwe ukhuma khwa Nguluve, uve mwene elitawa ve Yohana.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Ainchile wila imwemwelenchi khulolela ulumuli lulla, khukhula voni vawesye ukhwedekha ukhugendela mumwene.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
U Yohana sale velumuli, khukhuta akhinchile khwilola ulumuli.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Ulwa lwale lulumuli ulwayelweli ululwa inchile inkelunga khukhombekha ulumuli vevoni.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
Alepo pakhelunga, nekhelunga khyavombiwe ukhugendela mumwene, ne khelunga sakhikhamanya.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
Ainchile ni vinu fya mwene, na vanu vamwene savakhamwupelela.
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,
Pakhuva avingi avakhamwedikhe, avakhedikhe elitawa elwa mwene, pwa vapile elweli ukhuva vana va Nguluve.
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Avakholiwe, sio khunkisa, wala khuvunogwe uwambele, khukhuta khuvuga ne uwa munu, pakhuva yu Nguluve mweve.
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.
Nelimenyu lwavombiwe imbele lyatamile igati mulyufwe, tuluwene, uluginwo lwa mene, uluginwo ulwa munu uyale mwene khwa baba, adenchiwe uluhungu ulwayelweli.
15 John testified about him and shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
U Yohana emivele egwamwene, pwa khaloncha elimenyu akhata, “Uyo ve mwene venekhanchoovile ululagelo ulwa mwene, “Uyikhwincha khusana khulyune vembakha khuvoni, ulwakhuva alepo kabla yango.”
16 For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
Pakhuva pakhukhuma pavugolofu wa mwene, pakhuva twevoni twupelile emivombele paa mivombele.
17 For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah.
Pakhuva ululagelo lwainchile ukhugendela khwa Musa. Uluhungu ulwayelweli lwainchile ukhugendela khwa Yesu Klisiti.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
Asikhuli umunu avambwene u Nguluve usekhe gwoni. Umu ve mwene uNguluve, uvalepakhefuva ekhwa Nguluve, ambikhile umwene amanyekhe.
19 And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent cohanim and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
Pa khuva ege gyu mivele gya Yohana akhasekhe akhademi uvakhulawi avasukhiwe khumwene Avayahudi khukhomboja, “Uve ve veni?”
20 And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Messiah."
Pakhuva tudwadadwada nivi sipali pwa khavone, “Une sio Klisiti.”
21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
Pu vakhambuncha, “Uve ve venile no?” Uve ve Eliya? Ahanchova, “Akhata one siyo.” Vakhanchoova, Uve ve nyamalago? Akhanchova,” akhata amuna.”
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?"
Tena puvakhambula, “Uve ve veni, khukhuta tuvavule anda avavatu sukhile”? Vukhevekhela ndeti emivele vemwene?”
23 He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
Ahanchoova, “Ahata une nene limenyu elelikhwelanga ndu gima: 'Golosya enjela eyambakha,' ndo lwa nyamalago u Isaya vuakhanchoovile.”
24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
Pakhuva pale na vanu avavasukhiwe ukhukhuma khwa Vafalisayo. Vakhambuncha nukhunchoova,
25 And they asked him, "Why then do you immerse, if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
“Pa khuva khekhi vukhwoncho inave uveve sio ve Klisiti vala Eliya vala nyamalago?”
26 John answered them, saying, "I immerse in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
U Yohana avandile akhanchoova, “Nikhwoncha khu magasi. Pakhuva, inganti indyumwe ayikhwema umunu uyusamumanyile.
27 He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
Uyo veikhwincha usekhe ugwango. Une saninogelanile ukhulege sya indegekhe incha filatu ifya mwene.”
28 These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was immersing.
Imbombo inchi nchavombiwe hu Bethania, khumwambo khu Yordani, aponu upwalekhuvomba uYohana ukhwonchaa.
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.
Emisekhe egegwakokile u Yohana akhambona u Yesu ikhwincha khumwene inchoova, “Lola eng'osi eya Nguluve yikhwincha khulola imbivi incha khelunga!
30 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
oyo venekhanchovile ukhuta indagelo inchamwene nekhanchova, “Umwene uvikhwincha khu sana khulyune vembakha khulutelela one, ulwakhuva ale mbolongolo indyune.'
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came immersing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
Sanekhagundule yeyoni, pakhuva yavombiwe eve ukhuta adendoliwe mu Israeli, pakhuva nainchile khukhwoncho na magasi.”
32 And John testified, saying, "I saw the Ruach descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
U Yohana ale nemivele, “Nekhalolile umepo ikhwikha ukhukhu makhukwanya nekhekhwani ekhwa khengondya, puyikhasigile pakanya pa mwene.
33 And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to immerse in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Ruach descending, and remaining on him, this is he who immerses in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.'
Unene sanekhagundule ila umwene asukhile nonche na magasi ambolile, 'Ula uvevukhombona nu mepo vuikhwikha nukhwikha nukhutama nu mwene, Pakhuva oywa veikhwoncha nu mepo umbalanche.'
34 And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
Nelolile ne mivele ukhuta oyu ve swambe va Nguluve.”
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his talmidim,
Pakhuva akhasekhe akhakhalikhukongo u Yohana akhamile paninie na vakongi vamwene vavele,
36 and he looked at Yeshua as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
vambwene u Yesu igenda nu Yohana akhanchova, “Lola, eng'osi eya Nguluve!”
37 And the two talmidim heard him say this, and they followed Yeshua.
Avakongi vavile vakhapulekha oyoha na voinchova ita tukongage o 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?"
Pu Yesu akhapendukha akhavavona avakongi vikhokonga, pwa khavavula, “Mwinongwa ekhekhi?” Vakhanda, “Rabbi, (Pakhuva pene 'indongonchi,' vutama ndakhu?”
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.
Akhavavula, “Mwinche mulole. “Puva khaluta vakhalola esehemu eyi tamaa, vatamile pupaninie esikhu eyo, ulwa khuva yale ukhuta khasekhe kha lwakhemikhe.
40 One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Shim'on Peter's brother.
Yumo paninie pavale vavele uveakhapulikhe u Yohana voinchova ukhuta tukonge uyise ale ve Andrea, lokololwe va Simoni Petro.
41 He first found his own brother, Shim'on, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Anointed One).
Akhambona olokololwe u Simoni nukhumbula, “Tumbwene umasihi” (Uvinchovivwa ukhutave Klisiti).
42 He brought him to Yeshua. Yeshua looked at him, and said, "You are Shim'on the son of John. You shall be called Kefa" (which is translated, Peter).
Akhagega khwa Yesu. U Yesu akhandola nukhuncova, “Uve ve Simoni veswambe va Yohana ya vukhelangiwa ve Kefa,” (pakhuva ve 'Petro').
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galil, and he found Philip. And Yeshua said to him, "Follow me."
Akhasekhe akhakhakongile uYesu vuinogwa ukhukhega ukhuluta khu Galilaya, akhambona o Filipo nu khumbula, “In'ongage one.”
44 Now Philip was from Beit Tzaidah, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
U Filipo atamaga khu Bethsaida, ekhelunga ekhwa Andrea nu Petro.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Yeshua of Natzeret, the son of Joseph."
Ufilipo akhambwene Unathanaeli nukhumbula, tumbwene uyakhatile Umusa andikhe indagelo incha mwene nu lulagelo uluva nyamalago. U Yesu uswambe va Yusufu, ukhukhuma khu Nazareti.
46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Natzeret?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
Nathanaeli akhambula, “Je ekhenu khweto khiwesya ukhukhumila khu Nazareti?” U Filipo akhambula, Wincho ulole.”
47 Yeshua saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
U Yesu akhambona Nathanaeli vu ikhwincha khumwene nukhunchova, “Lola, Mwisraeli lweli lweli uyo sideta igati mumwene!”
48 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Yeshua answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
Nathanaeli akhanchova, “Umanyile ndakhekhi one?” U Yesu akhanda akhambula, “Pakhuva u Filipo vu sakhwelangile vulepasi pabebhe, ne khakhuwene.”
49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
U Nathanaeli akhanda, “Rabi uve uleswambe va Nguluve! Uveve ve intwa vakhu 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."
U Yesu akhanda akhambula, ulwa khuva nakhuvulile 'nakhuwene pasi pabekhe' je vukhwekha? Yuwilola amambo amavakha khuligo aga.”
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."
U Yesu akhanchova, “Lweli lweli mula khevona ekhelunga vukhelunga vukhidendukha, nukhuvavona avasung'wa vovitoga nu khwikha pa kwanya paswambe va Adamu.”
