John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Apuengcue vah lawk teh ao, Lawk teh Cathut hoi rei ao, Lawk teh Cathut doeh.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Ahni teh apuengcue vah Cathut hoi rei ao.
3 All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
Hnocawngca pueng ahni pawlawk dawk sak lah ao teh, ahni laipalah sak hoeh e banghai awm hoeh.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
Ahni dawk hringnae ao, hahoi hote hringnae teh taminaw e angnae lah ao.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
Hote angnae teh a hmonae koe a ang teh, hmonae ni ramuk thai hoeh.
6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Cathut ni Jawhan tie a tami hah a patoun.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Jawhan ni angnae kong hah a kampangkhai. Tami pueng ni hote akong a thai navah yuemnae a tawn thai awh nahane dei hanlah a tho.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Ahni teh angnae nahoeh, angnae kong kampangkhai hane doeh a tho.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Angnae katang teh heh talaivan a tho teh tami pueng angnae ka poe e lah ao.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
Ahni teh het talaivan vah ao teh, hete talai hai a sak toe. Hatei, talai ni ahni teh panuek hoeh.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
Ahni teh a taminaw koe a tho ei a taminaw ni a hnamthun takhai awh.
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,
Capa ka yuem e taminaw pueng teh Cathut ca lah coungnae kâ a poe.
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Cathut ca lah coungnae teh tami phunglam lahoi khe e lah tho hoeh. Thi moi hoi khe e na hoeh. Tami ni khe e hai nahoeh. Cathut ama ni khe e ca lah ao.
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.
Lawk hah tami lah a coung teh, lungmanae hoi lawkkatang hoi akawi. Maimouh koe ao teh Cathut ni a Capa tawn dueng a poe e a bawilennae patetlah maimouh ni bawilennae hmu awh.
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.'"
Jawhan ni ahnie kong hah a kampangkhai teh, kaie hnuk lah ka tho hane teh, ka o hoehnahlan kaawm toung niteh, kai hlak kalen e lah ao ka ti navah ahni doeh telah a hramkhai.
16 For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
Ahnie kuepnae koehoi lungmanae van lungmanae teh coe awh.
17 For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Cathut ni kâlawk teh Mosi koehoi na poe awh, lungmanae hoi lawkkatang teh Jisuh Khrih koehoi doeh a tho.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
Apinihai Cathut teh hmawt boihoeh eiteh, Cathut lungtabue dawk kaawm e a Capa buet touh dueng ni Cathut teh a kamnue sak.
19 And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
Judahnaw ni vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw hah Jerusalem lah Jawhan koe a patoun awh teh, nang hah apimaw telah a pacei sak awh.
20 And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Christ."
Jawhan ni kai teh Messiah na hoeh telah kamcengcalah a dei pouh.
21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
Ahnimouh nihai, pawiteh nang apimaw, Elijah maw telah a pacei awh. Jawhan ni, kai teh Elijah nahoeh telah atipouh. Hoeh pawiteh profet maw atipouh awh, nahoeh bo bout atipouh.
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?"
Ahnimouh ni, nang teh apimaw. Kaimouh kapatounnaw koe bout ka dei awh nahanlah namahoima bangtelamaw na kâdei telah a pacei awh.
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."
Jawhan nihai, kai teh profet Isaiah ni a dei e patetlah Cathut e lamthung lan sak awh telah kahrawngum ka hramkhai e lawk doeh atipouh.
24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
A patoun awh e naw teh Farasinaw doeh.
25 And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
Ahnimouh ni, nang teh Messiah hai na hoeh, Elijah na hoeh, profet hai na hoehpawiteh, bangkongmaw tui baptisma na poe vaw atipouh awh.
26 John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
Jawhan ni, Kai ni vah tui dawk baptisma na poe awh, hatei, nangmouh ni na panue hoe e, ka hnuklah ka tho hane ao.
27 He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
Kai ni vah khokkhawmrui boehai rasu pouh han ka kamcu hoeh atipouh.
28 These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Hettelah lawk a kâ paceinae hmuen teh Jordan palang teng Bethani kho, Jawhan ni tui baptisma a poenae hmuen koe doeh.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
Atangtho Jawhan ni Jisuh a tho e a hmu navah khen a haw Cathut e tuca talaivan e yon ka cetkhai e ho!
30 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
Ahni teh kai ka o hoehnahlan hoi kaawm tangcoung e ni teh kai hlak kalen ni teh kaie ka hnuklah a tho han ka tie hah doeh.
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
Ahmaloe vah ahni teh ka panuek hoeh. Hatei, Isarelnaw ni ama a panue thai awh na hanelah kai ni tui baptisma na poe awh e doeh atipouh.
32 And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
Hahoi Jawhan ni, kalvan hoi Muitha teh Âbakhu patetlah a kum teh avan vah a cu e ka hmu telah a kampangkhai teh a dei.
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 Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
Ahmaloe vah ahni ka panuek hoeh, hatei, teh tui baptisma na kapoesakkung ni, tami buet touh van vah Muitha a kum teh a cu e hah na hmu navah, ahni teh Kathoung Muitha hoi tui baptisma ka poe hane doeh tie na panue han ati e patetlah,
34 And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
khei ka hmu teh ahni teh Cathut Capa doeh telah nangmouh koe ka kampangkhai telah Jawhan ni a dei.
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
Atangtho vah Jawhan hoi a hnukkâbang kahni touh ni Jisuh a tho e a hmu awh navah,
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
Jawhan ni a khet teh, Cathut e tuca hah khenhaw ati.
37 And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
Avaica roi ni a thai navah Jisuh hnuk a kâbang roi.
38 And Jesus 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?"
Jisuh ni a kamlang teh a hnuklah a kâbang roi e a hmu navah, bangmaw na ngai roi telah a pacei. Ahnimouh roi ni, Rabbi, Bawipa nang teh namaw na o telah atipouh. Rabbi ti ngainae teh kacangkhaikung tinae doeh.
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.
Jisuh ni tho nateh khenhaw! atipouh. Ahnimouh ni a cei awh teh a onae teh a hmu awh, atueng teh tangmin lahsa suimilam pali a pha toe. Kho hmo totouh ama koe ao awh.
40 One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Jawhan e lawk a thai hoi Jisuh hnukkâbang roi e thung dawk buet touh teh Simon Piter e a nawngha Andru doeh.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Christ).
Andru ni apasuekpoung lah Simon koe a cei teh, Messiah teh ka hmu awh toe atipouh. Messiah tie teh Khrih tinae doeh.
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated, Peter).
Andru ni Simon hah Jisuh koe a ceikhai. Jisuh ni nang teh Jawhan capa Simon doeh. Cephas tie min katha phung lah na o han atipouh. Cephas tinae teh Piter tie hoi kâvan e talung ti ngainae doeh.
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
Atangtho vah Jisuh teh Galilee lah cei han a kâcai. Filip hah a hmu nah ka hnukkâbang atipouh.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filip teh Andru hoi Piter a onae Bethsaida kho hoi ka tho e tami doeh.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
Filip ni Nathanael a hmu nah, phunglawk cauk dawk e Mosi ni a thut e, profetnaw ni akong a thut e Nazareth tami Joseph capa Jisuh hah ka hmu toe atipouh.
46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
Nathanael ni, Nazareth kho hoi hnokahawi a tâco boimaw atipouh navah Filip ni vah tho nateh khenhaw! atipouh.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
Jisuh ni Nathanael ama koe a tho e hah a hmu teh, Isarel tami katang hi ao e hah khen awh, dumyennae lungthin khoeroe tawn hoeh, atipouh.
48 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
Nathanael ni hai Bawipa nang ni bangtelamaw kai heh na panue atipouh. Jisuh ni Filip ni na kaw hoehnahlan vah thaibunglung rahim na o nah na hmu toe atipouh.
49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
Nathanael ni, Bawipa nang teh Cathut Capa doeh Isarelnaw e Siangpahrang doeh, atipouh.
50 Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
Jisuh ni thaibunglung rahim na o e ka hmu ka ti dawk maw na tang. Hot hlak kalen e hno hah bout na hmu han atipouh.
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."
Atangcalah na dei pouh awh, kalvan kamawng vaiteh tami Capa e a van vah Cathut e kalvantaminaw ka kum ka luen e na hmu a han atipouh.
