Yochanan 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Pakutatika, kakuli kwabula bintu byonse kwalikuba Liswi, Liswi ili lyalikuba kuli Lesa. Kayi Liswi ili lyalikuba Lesa.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Liswi ili lyalikuba ne Lesa cindi conse.
3 All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
Byonse byalabako kupitila mulyendiye, kayi kuliyawa cintu calabako kwabula endiye.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
Mulyendiye mwalikuba buyumi, kayi buyumi ubo ebwalikuba cinyina ca mumuni kubantu.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
Mumuni uwu ulamunikinga mumushinshe, kayi mushinshe nkawalacikonsha kushima mumuni.
6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Neco Lesa walatuma muntu naumbi, lina lyakendi walikuba Yohane.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Nendi uyu walesa kwinshila bukamboni, nekwambila bantu sha mumuni usa, kwambeti bantu bonse banyumfwe nekushoma.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Nteko kwambeti nendi walikuba mumuni, nsombi walesa kuba kamboni wa mumuni.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Mumuni wancine ncine, weshi kumunikila bantu bonse, walesa pacishi capanshi.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
Yesu walikuba pacishi capanshi, nomba bantu bapacishi capanshi baliya kumwinshiba, nambi Lesa walalenga bintu byonse kupitila mulyendiye.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
Walesa kubantu bamushobo wakendi, nomba bantu bakendi baliya kumutambula.
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,
Necikabeco nabambi balamutambula nekushoma lina lyakendi, kayi bopelaba walabapa ngofu shakuba bana ba Lesa
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Neco Kuba bana ba Lesa kuliya kufuma mukusemwa kwabo, nambi mu kuyanda kwa mubili, nambi kwanda kwa muntu sobwe, sombi kwalafuma kuli Lesa.
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.
Lino Liswi lyalasanduka muntu, nekwisa kwikala pamo nenjafwe. Walikuba ne nkumbo kayi ne cancine ncine. Kayi twalabona bulemu bwakendi, bulemu mbwalatambula kuBaishi.
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.'"
Yohane walamubela bukamboni. Walikwambila bantu mwangofu kwambeti, “Uyu engondalikwambeti, kuli lesanga panyuma pakame wampita, pakwinga nkantana nsemwa, nendi walikubapo.”
16 For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
Weco kupitila munkumbo shakendi shesula twense twalalelekwa mwakupwililila, kulelekwa kwakonkana konkana.
17 For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah.
Lesa walatupa Milawo kupitila muli Mose, nomba inkumbo nekushomeka kwalesa kupitila muli Yesu.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
kuliya muntu walamubonapo Lesa. Nsombi umo enka Lesa usa, wekala pamo neBaishi, ewalamuyubulula.
19 And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent cohanim and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
Lino ubu ebukamboni mbwalapa Yohane kubamakulene baBayuda baku Yelusalemu balatuma beshimilumbo neba Levi nabambi kuyakwipusha Yohane, balamwipusheti “Njobe bani?”
20 And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Messiah."
Nendi walasumina cancine ncine nekubakumbula mwakubula kusoleka, “Ame ntame Mupulushi Walaiwa usa sobwe.”
21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
Balamwipusha kayi, “Nomba njobe Eliya?” Neye walambeti, “Sobwe, ntame Eliya.” Nabo balambeti, “Njobe Mushinshimi ngotulapembelelenga usa?” Neye Yohane walakumbuleti, “Sobwe ntame.”
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?"
Lino twambile cancine ncine, kwambeti twenga tubapandulwile cena balatutumu. Omwine ukute kwambeti njobe bani?
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."
Yohane walabakumbuleti, mbuli mwalambila mushinshimi Yesaya, “Ame njame liswi lya muntu lolobeshenga mucinyika; Lambangeti, lulamikani nshila mwakupita Mwami.”
24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
Lino basa bantu balatumwa ne Bafalisi,
25 And they asked him, "Why then do you immerse, if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
balamwipusha Yohane, “Na ntobe Mupulushi Walaiwa usa, nambi Eliya, nambi Mushinshimi ngotulapembelelenga usa, nomba nicani ulabatishinga bantu?”
26 John answered them, saying, "I immerse in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
Yohane walabakumbuleti, “Ame ndababatishinga ne menshi nsombi pakati penu apa pali umbi ngomutenshi.
27 He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
Nendi uyu lesanga panyuma pakame, nkandelela nekuba musha wakendi wela kusungulula ntambo sha nkwabilo shakendi.”
28 These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was immersing.
Bintu ibi byalenshikila ku Betaniya, kutala lwa kucwe kwa mulonga waYolodani, uko Yohane nkwali kubatisha.
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.
Mumene mene Yohane walabona Yesu kesa kulyendiye, lino walambeti, “Kamubonani Mwana Mbelele wa Lesa, weshikufunya bwipishi bwapacishi capanshi!
30 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
Uyu endiye usa ngondalikwambeti, ‘Panyuma pakame palesanga muntu wampita, pakwinga ame nkantanansemwa nendi walikubako.’
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came immersing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
Nenjame nkandimwinshi, nomba ndalesa akubatisha ne menshi kwambeti Baislaeli bamwishibe.”
32 And John testified, saying, "I saw the Ruach descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
Kayi Yohane walamwinshila bukamboni, pakwambeti, “Ndalabona Mushimu Uswepa kauseluka kwilu walikuboneketi nkulimba, walesa kwikala pali endiye.
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.'
Ame nkandali kumwinshiba, nsombi Lesa walantuma kwisa akubatisha ne menshi ewanjishibisha kwambeti, ‘Nubone Mushimu Uswepa wesanga kwikala palyendiye, epeloyo eshi kubatisha ne Mushimu Uswepa.’”
34 And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
Ame ndalabibona, kayi ndamwambilingeti, “Epele uyu Emwana waLesa.”
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his talmidim,
Mumene mene busuba bwalakonkapo Yohane walikuba pamusena popelapo pamo ne beshikwiya bambi babili.
36 and he looked at Yeshua as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
Mpwalabona Yesu kapita, walambeti, “Kamubonani Mwana mbelele wa Lesa!”
37 And the two talmidim heard him say this, and they followed Yeshua.
Beshikwiya babili basa mpobalanyumfwa maswi alico, balamukonka 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 mpwalacebuka ne kuboneti balamukonkelenga, walabepusheti, “Nomba mulayandanga cani?” Nabo balambeti, “Tulayandanga kwinshiba mukute kwikala kupeyo, Labi? Bupandulushi bwa Labi nikwambeti, shikwiyisha.”
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 walakumbuleti “Tiyeni mwenga mukubone.” Nabo balaya nendi. Nomba cindi calikuba mu ma 4 koloko mansailo mpobalayakubona nkwalikwikala, balekala kopeloko ubo busuba.
40 One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Shim'on Peter's brother.
Umo pali basa babili walanyumfwa maswi a Yohane ne kumukonka Yesu, walikuba Ndileya mukwabo Shimoni Petulo.
41 He first found his own brother, Shim'on, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Anointed One).
Mpwalamucana shimoni mukwabo, walamwambileti, “Tulamucana Klistu, Mupulushi Walaiwa.”
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).
Neco walamumanta ne kuya nendi kuli Yesu. Yesu mpwalamulangishisha walambeti, “Njobe Shimoni, mwanendi Yohane, nomba lino Lina lyakobe nube Kefa.” Bupandulushi bwa maina Kefa ne Petulo, alambangeti libwe.
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galil, and he found Philip. And Yeshua said to him, "Follow me."
Mpobwalaca Yesu walayeya shakuya ku Galileya. Walacana Filipo, ne kumwambileti, “Unkonke.”
44 Now Philip was from Beit Tzaidah, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filipo walikuba waku munshi wa Betsaida, kucomwabo Ndileya ne Petulo.
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."
Filipo walacana Nataniyele ne kumwambileti, “Tulamucana usa Mose ngwalalemba sha endiye mulibuku lya Milawo, usa bashinshimi ngobalalemba sha endiye. Yesu Mwana waYosefe, waku Nasaleti.”
46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Natzeret?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
Nomba Nataniyele walamwipusheti, “Sena kuNasaleti ngakufuma kantu kayina?” Filipo walakumbuleti, “Tiye ulibonene wenka.”
47 Yeshua saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
Yesu mpwalamubona Nataniyele nkesa, walambeti, “Cakubinga uyu emwana mwine mwine waku Islayele wabula bundengamano.”
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."
Nataniyele walamwipusheti, “Mulanjishibi aconi?” Yesu walakumbuleti, “Pasa mpowanga wekala mwinshi mwacitondo camukuyu, Filipo katana akukuwa, ame ndalakubona.”
49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
Nataniyele walambeti, “Bashikwiyisha, cakubinga njamwe Mwana Lesa, njamwe Mwami wa Islayele.”
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 walamukumbuleti, “Sena ulashomo pakwinga ndakwambilyeti ndalakubona mwinshi mwa citondo camukuyu. Nomba nubone byapita apa.”
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."
Kayi walambeti, “Lino cancine ncine ndakwambilingeti nukabone kwilu kwacaluka, nukabone bangelo ba Lesa nkabatanta kayi kabaseluka kwisa kuli Mwana Muntu.”
