John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Kubhwandelu kwa jhela ni Lilobhi, ni Lilobhi ajhela pamonga ni K'yara, ni lilobhi ajhele K'yara.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
E'le lilobhi, kubhwandelu ajhele pamonga ni K'yara.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
Fenu fyoha fyabhombiki kup'etela muene, ni bila muene kujhelepi khenu kimonga kya kikajhele kimalikubhombibhwa.
4 In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
Mugati mwa muene kwajhele ni bhusima, ni bhusima obhu bhwajhele nuru jha bhanadamu bhoha.
5 And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
Nuru jing'ara mu ngisi, wala ngisi jhajhisimisi lepi.
6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Pajhe ni munu jha atumibhu kuh'omela kwa K'yara, ambajhe lihina lya muene akutibhweghe Yohana.
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
Ahidili kama shahidi kushuhudila kuhusu nuru jhela, ili kwamba bhoha bhabhwesiajhi kuamini kup'etela muene.
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
Yohana ajhelepi nuru jhela, bali ahidili kushuhudila kuhusu nuru jhela.
9 The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
Ejhu jhajhele nuru jha bhukweli ambajho jhajhele jhihida ku dunia najhu jhikampela nuru kila mmonga
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
Ajhele ku dunia ni dunia jhabhombiki kup'etela muene, ni dunia jhammanyi lepi.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Ahidili kwa fenu fya muene, nibharui bha muene bhabelikumpokela.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, —to those who believed in his name;
Bali kwa bhala bhingi bhabhampokili, ambabho bhaliamini lihina lya muene, kwa abhu abhapelili haki jha kujha bhana bha K'yara,
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Ambabho bhahogoliki, sio kwa damu, wala kwa mapenzi gha mb'ele, wala kwa mapenzi gha munu, bali kwa K'yara muene.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only begotten of a father.
Nu muene Lilobhi abhombiki mb'ele ni kutama miongoni mwa tete, tubhubhwene bhutukufu bhwa muene, bhutukufu kama bhwamunu muene ghwa pasima ahidili kuh'omela kwa dadi, amemili neema ni kweli.
15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me hath gone before me; for he was before me.
Yohana ashuhudili kuhusu muene, na akwesili sauti ajobhili, “Ojho ndo jha najobhili habari sya muene najobhili, “Jhola jhaibetakuhida badala jha nene ndo mbaha kuliko nene, kwa ndabha ajhele kabla jha nene.”
16 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
Kwa kujha kuh'omela mu bhutimilifu bhwa muene, tete twebhoha tupokili mebhu kipawa baada jha kipawa.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Kwa kujha sheria jhaletibhu kup'etela Musa. Neema ni kweli fyahidili kup'etela Yesu kristu.
18 No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
Ajhelepi mwanadamu jhaambwene K'yara wakati bhuoha. Munu muene ambajhe ndo K'yara, jhaajhele pa kifua kya dadi, ambombili muene amanyikanayi.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
Na obhu ndo bhushuhuda bhwa Yohana wakati makuhani ni walawi bhabhatumibhu kwa muene ni bhayahudi kun'kota, “Bhebhe wa niani?”
20 And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.
Bila kusitasita na abelilepi, bali ajibili, “Nene na Kristu lepi.”
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
Hivyo bhakan'kota, “henu bhebhe ghweniani?” Bhebhe ndo Eliya? Akajobha, “Nene lepi.” Bhakajobha bhebhe wa niani wa nabii? Ajibili,” Lepi.”
22 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what sayest thou of thyself?
Kisha bhakan'jobhela, “Bhebhe wa niani, ili tubhapelayi lijibu bhabhatutumili”? Ukishuhudilayi wajhobhi?”
23 He said, I am “a voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord,” as said Isaiah the prophet.
Akajobha, “Nene na sauti jha muene jha ajhe nyikani: 'Mujhinyosiajhi njela jha Bwana,' kama nabii Isaya kyaajobhili.”
24 And they were sent from the Pharisees;
Basi kwajhele ni bhanu bha bhatumibhu pala kuhoma kwa Mafarisayo. Bhakan'kota ni kujobha,
25 and they asked him and said to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
“Kwa ndabha jha kiki wibatisya basi kama bhebhe sio Kristu wala Eliya wala nabii?”
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
Yohana abhajibili akajobha, “Nibatisya kwa masi. Hata efyo, miongoni mwa muenga ijhema munu jhamummanyilepi.
27 he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
Ojho ndo jha ihida baada jha nene. Nene nilondeka lepi ata kuhobhosya mighojhi jha filatu fya muene.”
28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Mambo agha ghabhombiki okhu Bethania, kwiselya ku Yordani, mahali ambapo Yohana ajhele ibatisya.
29 The next day he seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!
Ligono lyalafwatili Yohana ambwene Yesu ihida kwa muene akajobha, “Langayi mwanakondoo ghwa K'yara jhaibetakujhitola dhambi jha bhulimwengu!
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
ojho ndo jhanijobheghe habari sya muene, nikajobhili, “Muene jhaibetakuhida kunyuma jha nene ndo mbaha kuliko nene, kwa kujha ajhele kabla jha nene.'
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
Nikammanyilepi muene, lakini jhabhombiki naha ili kwamba afumulibhwayi ku Israeli, kujha nahidili kubatisya kwa masi.”
32 And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
Yohana ashuhudili, “Nabhwene Roho iselela kuh'oma kumbinguni mfuano ghwa hua, najhabakili kunani kwa muene.
33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
Nene nammanyilepi lakini muene jhaanitumili ili nibatisiajhi kwa masi anijobhili, 'jhola ambajhe ibetakubhona Roho iselela ni kutama panani pa muene, Ojho ndo ibetakubatisya kwa Roho Mtakatifu.'
34 And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
Nibhuene na nishuhudili kujha ojho ndo Mwana ghwa K'yara.”
35 On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
Kabhele ligono lya lafwatili Yohana ajhemili pamonga ni bhanafunzi bhamuene bhabhele,
36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
bhambwene Yesu igenda ni Yohana akajobha, “Langayi, Mwana kondoo ghwa K'yara!”
37 The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Bhanafunzi bhabhele bhampeliki Yohana ijobha haya bhakan'kesya Yesu.
38 Jesus turning and seeing them following, saith to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi, (that is to say, when interpreted, Teacher, ) where dost thou dwell?
Kabhele Yesu ageuki ni kubhabhona bhanafunzi bhala bhabhele bhakan'kesya, na akabhajobhela, “Mwilonda kiki?” Bhakajibu, “Rabbi, (maana jhiake 'mwalimu,' witama ndaku?”
39 He saith to them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he dwelt; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
Akabhajobhela, “Muhidayi na mulotayi.”Kisha bhakalota ni kulola mahali pa atameghe; bhatamili pamonga naku ligono elu kwakujha jha jhele kama saa kumi ivi.
40 One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Mmonga kati jha bhala bhabhele bhabhamp'eliki Yohana ilongela na kisha kun'kesya Yesu ajhele Andrea, ndongomunu Simoni Petro.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)
Ambwene ndongomunu Simoni ni kun'jobhela, “Tun'kabhili masihi” (ambajho jhitafsiribhwa Kristu).
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking upon him said, Thou art Simon, the son of John; thou shalt be called Cephas; (which signifieth Peter, that is, Rock.)
Andetili kwa Yesu. Yesu akandanga ni kujobha, “Bhebhe ndo Simoni mwana ghwa Yohana” wibetakutibhwa kefa,” (maana jhiake 'Petro').
43 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
Ligono lya lyafwatili wakati abhokili kulota Galilaya, an'kabhili Filipo ni kun'jobhela, “Nik'esiajhi nene.”
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filipo ajhele mwenyeji wa Bethsaida, mji wa Andrea ni Petro.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.
Filipo an'kabhili Nathanaeli ni kun'jobhela, Tun'kabhili jhola ambajhe Musa abhwesiti kulamba habari sya muene mun sheria sya manabii. Yesu mwana ghwa Yusufu, kuh'omela ku Nazareti.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
Nathanaeli akan'jobhela, “Je khenu kinofu kibhwesya kuh'omela Nazareti?” Filipo akan'jobhela, Hidayi na ulolayi.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
Yesu akambona Nathanaeli ihida kwa muene ni kujobha, “Langayi, Mwisraeli kweli kweli jhaabelikujha ni udesi mugati mwa muene!”
48 Nathanael saith to him, Whence dost thou know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
Nathanaeli akan'jobhela, “Unimanyibhuili nene?” Yesu akan'jibu ni kun'jobhela, “Kabla Filipo akukutilepi bho ujhele pasi pa mtini, nikakubhwene.”
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.
Nathanaeli akajibu, “Rabi bhebhe u Mwana ghwa K'yara! Bhebhe ndo Mfalme ghwa Israeli”!
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
Yesu akan'jibu akan'jobhela, Kwa ndabha nikujobhili nikakubhwene pasi pa libehe lya mtini' je ghwiamini? wibetakulola matendo mabhaha kuliko agha.”
51 And he saith to him, Truly, truly do I say to you, Ye will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Yesu akajobha, “Muaminiajhi muaminiajhi nikabhajobhela mwibetakusibhona malaika bhikwela ni kuselela panani pa Mwana ghwa Adamu.”
