John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Akcük ma säiha Ngthu a na veki; Ngthu cun Mhnam am atänga veki, Ngthu cun Mhnama kyaki.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Ngthu cun akcük ma säih üngkhyüh Mhnam am a na veki.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
Ahmäi naküt ani üngkhyüh Pamhnam naw a mhnüna kyaki; mhnünmceng naküt üng ani am ngpüikia mhnün i pi am ve.
4 In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
Ngthu cun xünnaka phungnua kyaki; acuna xünnak naw khyangea vei akvai lawpüiki.
5 And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
Akvai cun anghmüpnaka vai law se, nghmüp naw am näng mkhüt.
6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Pamhnam naw a ngsä mat a tüih law, a ngming cun Johana kyaki.
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
Ani naw khyangea veia akvaia mawng cun pyen se, khyange naw ngja u lü ami jumei law vai ua phäha kyaki.
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
Amät cun akvai am ni, akvaia mawng pyen khaia lawki.
9 The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
Ani cun akvai kcang, khawmdek khana law lü khyang naküta khana vaiki.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
Ngthu cun khawmdek khana veki, khawmdek cun ani üngkhyüh mhnünmcenga kyaki. Acunsepi khawmdek naw ani am ksing.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Amäta khyangea veia lawki. Acunsepi, amäta khyange naw am dokhamei u.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, —to those who believed in his name;
Acunsepi, avang naw doei lü jumei u se, Pamhnama caea thawn theinak a jah pet.
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Acun he cun nghngicima mtisa thithaü üngkhyüh cawmbei lawkie am ni. Khyanga pasang üngka naw ngtüi lawkie pi am ni u, amimia pa ta Pamhnam ni.
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.
Ngthu cun nghngicima ngtüi lawki; bäkhäknak ja ngthungtak am be lü mi ksunga veki. Paa ca mat däka hlüngtainaka kba, a hlüngtainak cun mi hmuhki.
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.
Johan naw ania mawng a pyen ta, ‘Ka pyen khawi cen ani ni, “Ani cun ka hnua law kyaw sepi ka maa a na ve pängki ni” a ti.
16 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
Kümceikia ania bäkhäknak am dawkyanaka thea dawkyanak mi van naw mi yahki.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Thum cun Mosia kut üngkhyüh Pamhnam naw a jah peta kyaki. Acunsepi, bäkhäknak ja ngthungtak ta Jesuh Khritaw üngkhyüh a jah peta kyaki.
18 No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
U naw pi Pamhnam am hmuh khawi. Pamhnam am täng lü, Paa peia veki, a Capa mat däk naw paa mawng jah ksingsak pängki.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
Jerusalema veki Judah ngvaie naw, “Nang u ni?” ti lü, kthäh acun hea ktaiyü he ja Levihe Johana veia ami jah tüih.
20 And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.
Johan naw käh mjih lü, “Kei Mesijah am ni ngü,” ti lü a jah msang.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
Amimi naw, “Nang u ni? Nang Elijah aw?” ti lü ami kthäh. Johan naw, “Am ni ngü” a ti. “Nang Sahma aw?” ami ti. Johan naw, “Am ni ngü” ti lü, a jah msang.
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?
Amimi naw, “Acunüng nang u ni, jah mtheha? jah tüih lawkie kami jah mthehnak be vai ami ti. Namäta mawng hin ihawkba na pyenki ni?” ti lü ami kthäh betü u.
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.
Johan naw, “Sahma Hesajah naw a pyena mäiha, ‘Bawipaa lawnak vai lam ngsungsak u,’ ti lü khawmkyanga ngpyangki kthaia ka kyaki ni,” a ti.
24 And they were sent from the Pharisees;
Pharisee naw ami jah tüiha khyange cun naw,
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?
“Mesijah am ni, Elijah am ni, sahmaa pi am na ni üng, ise Baptican na jah peki ni?” ti u lü ami kthäh betü u.
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
Johan naw, “Kei naw tui am Baptican ka jah pe khawiki, nami ksunga khyang mat am nami ksing ngdüiki.
27 he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
Ani cun ka hnua law sepi, a khawdawk yüi suh pet khaia pi am nglawi ngü” ti lü, a jah msang.
28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Ahin avan cun Johan naw baptican a jah petnaka hnün Jordan mliktui pei Bethaniha thawnhlawkia kyaki.
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!
Angawi üng Johan naw Jesuh a veia law se hmuh lü, “Khawmdeka mkhyekatnak cehpüiki Pamhnama Toca teng u!
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
Acan ni, ‘Keia kthaka dämduh bawki, ka hnua lawki kyaw, cunüngpi ka maa a na ve päng kungki ni,’ ka ti cen ani ni.
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
Akcüka ani am ksing ngü, cunsepi, Isarele naw ani ami ksing law vaia, kei naw law lü tui am Baptican ka jah peki,” a ti.
32 And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
Johan naw a mawng pyen lü, “Ngmüimkhya cun müma mäiha khankhaw üngka naw kyum law lü a khana ngawki ka hmuh.
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.
“Akcüka ta ani ni ti am ksing ngü. Cunsepi, tui am Baptican ka jah pe khaia na tüih lawki Pamhnam naw, ‘Ngmüimkhya a khana kyum law lü a ngawhnaka khyang na hmuh üng, ani cun Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am Baptican jah pe khaia Khyang ni’ ti lü a na mtheh.
34 And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
Johan naw “Ani ka hmuh pängki, ani Pamhnama Capaa kyaki tia ka ning jah mthehki,” a ti.
35 On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
Angawi betü üng, Johan naw axüisaw xawi nghngih am ngdüi lü,
36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
Jesuh law se hmuh lü, “Acan ni Pamhnama Toca,” a ti.
37 The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Axüisaw xawi naw a pyen ngja ni lü, Jesuh läki xawi.
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?
Jesuh naw ani veia nghlat lü läk law ni se a jah hmuh üng, “I nani suiki” ti lü, a jah kthäh. Anini naw, ‘Rabbi (Saja tinak), hawia na veki?” ani ti.
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.
Jesuh naw, “Law ni lü nani hmuh khai,” a ti. Cit ni lü a venak ani hmuh, acuna mhnüp cun a hlawnga veeiki xawi; acun cun mülama (Naji kphyü bang) kyaki.
40 One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Johana ngthu pyen ngja ni lü, Jesuh läki nghngih üngka mat cun Sihmon Pita a na Andrua kyaki.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)
Andru naw akcüka a be Sihmon hmuh lü, “Mesijah hmuh ve ung” ti lü, a mtheh (Mesijah ti cun Khritaw tinak ni).
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.)
Acunüng, Sihmon cun Jesuha veia a lawpüi. Jesuh naw teng lü, “Nang hin Johana capa Sihmon na ngmingnaki, Kephaa ning sui khaie,” a ti (Acun cun Pita üng täng lü, “Lung” tinaka kyaki).
43 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
Angawi üng Jesuh Kalile khawa cit khaia a ngtün üng, Philip hmuh lü, “Na läk lawa” a ti. (
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip cun Bethsaida mlüha kaa kyaki, acun cun Andru ja Pitaa ani venaka mlüha kyaki.)
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.
Philip naw Natanelah hmuh lü, “Mosi naw ania mawng Thum üng a yuk, sahma he naw pi a mawng ami yuk, Nazaret üngka, Josepa capa Jesuh, kami hmuhkie” ti lü a mtheh.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
Natanelah naw, “Nazaret mlüha cimvaiki ve khai aw?” a ti. Philip naw, “Law lü, teng lawa” a ti be.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
Jesuh naw, Natanelah a veia law se hmuh lü, “A mkhyenak lang am vekia Isarel khyang kcang, teng ua” ti lü, a pyen.
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.
Natanelah naw, “Nang naw ihawkba na na ksing ni?” a ti. Jesuh naw, “Philip naw am a ning khü ham lü, Fikdung phunga na ve üng ka ning hmuh päng ni” a ti be.
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.
Natanelah naw, “Rabbi, nang Pamhnama Capa ni, Isarelea Sangpuxanga pi kya veki,” a ti.
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.
Jesuh naw, “Fikdung phunga na ve üng ka ning hmuh päng ni’ ka tia phäha na na kcangnaki aw? Ahina kthaka dämduh bawki na hmuh law khai,” a ti.
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.
Jesuh bä naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki. Tuha khankhaw nghmawng lü Pamhnama khankhawngsäe Khyanga Capaa khana ju kyum jeng kai u se nami jah hmuh law khai,” a ti.
