John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
A kipatcil in Thu om hi, tua thu sia Pathian taw omkhawm a, tua Thu in Pathian a hihi.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Tua thu sia a kipatcil in Pathian taw omkhawm hi.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
Na theampo Ama vawt a hihi; a kivawt theampo sung ah Ama kihel ngawl in a kivawt khatzong a om bua hi.
4 In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
Ama sung ah nuntakna om a; tua nuntakna sia mihing te i khuavak a hihi.
5 And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
Taciang khuavak sia khuazing sung ah tang a; khuazing in Ama a he bua hi.
6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Pathian kungpan hong ki sawl mi khat om a, ama min sia John a hihi.
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
John sia tetti tu in hongpai a, mi theampo in ama tungtawn in a up thei natu, khuavak tettipang tu in hongpai hi.
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
Ama sia tua Khuavak hi ngawl hi, ahihang tua Khuavak tettipang tu in a ki sawl a hihi.
9 The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
Tasia sia Khuavak tatak hi a, mi theampo taan tu in hi leitung ah hongpai hi.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
Ama sia leitung ah om a, leitung sia Ama vawtsa a hihi, taciang leitung in Ama a he bua hi.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Ama minam te kung ah hongpai napi, a minam te in Ama a sang bua hi.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, —to those who believed in his name;
Ahihang a sang te theampo tung ah, Pathian tapa sua na vangletna pia hi, tua te sia Ama min a umte a hihi:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Ama te sia thisan, ci le sa deina, le mihing deina tungtawn in a piang a hi bua uh hi, ahihang Pathian deina tungtawn in a piang a hihi.
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.
Tua thu sia ci le sa in ki vawt a, taciang thuthiamna le thutak taw kidim in eite sung ah hong om a, Pa i Tapa a neisun minthanna bang in a minthanna i mu hi.
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.
John in Ama thu tettipang in a au na aw sia, ka nung pan hongpai pa sia kei sang in thupi zaw hi: banghangziam cile Ama sia kei pian ma in om zo hi: A thu ka sason sia Ama a hihi, ci hi.
16 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
Ama kicinna pan in i vekpi in hesuakna khat zawkciang khat i sang tato hi.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Banghangziam cile thukham sia Moses tungtawn in hong kipia hi, ahihang thuthiamna le thutak ahile Jesus Christ tungtawn in hongpai hi.
18 No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
Kuama in bangmahun in Pathian mu ngei ngawl hi; Pa kangsung ah a om khatbek a nei a Tapa in, Pa thu hong tangko zo hi.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
Hi thu sia, nang sia a kua ni ziam? ci dong tu in Judah te in thiampi te le Levite te Jerusalem pan a sawl uh ciang in, John i a cepte thu a hihi.
20 And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.
John in nial peuma ngawl in, keima sia Christ hi ngawl khi hi; ci in pualak hi.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
Amate in, tua a hile a kua ni ziam? Elijah ni ziam? ci in dong uh hi. Taciang John in, hi ngawl khi hi, ci hi. Amate in, kamsang tasia ni ziam? ci in a dok leleau uh ciang in, hi ngawl khi hi, ci in zo hi.
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?
Amate in, nang a kua ni ziam? tua hile hong sawl te kung ah son thei tu khu hi. Nangma le nangma kua ka hi ci ni ziam? ci uh hi.
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.
John in, kamsang Isaiah sonkholsa bang in, Topa i lampi tangsak vun, ci in ngamsung pan a au Aw ka hihi, ci hi.
24 And they were sent from the Pharisees;
Amate sia Pharisee te in sawl in a paisak te a hi uh hi.
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?
Amate in, Christ na hi bua a, Elijah le hi ngawl, kamsang le hi tuan ngawl napi, banghang in tuiphumna pia ni ziam? ci in dong uh hi.
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
John in, keima in tui taw tuiphumna kong pia hi: ahihang na heak ngawl uh mi khat note sung ah ding nginge hi;
27 he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
Ama sia, ka nung pan hongpai a, kei sang in thupi zaw hi, kei sia a peangdap khau sutsak tu zong ka kilawm bua hi, ci hi.
28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Hi thu te sia John in tuiphumna a piak na mun, Jordan ngun ngal Bethabara ah a sep thu a hihi.
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!
A zingciang in John in Jesus a kung ah hongpai mu a, en vun, leitung mawna a pua Pathian Tuuno.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
Hi sia pa sia, ka nung pan hongpai a, kei sang in thupi zaw hi: banghangziam cile kei pian ma in om zo hi, ci ka son sia Ama a hihi.
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
Ama ka he bua hi: ahihang Ama sia Israel te tung ah kilangsak tu hi, tua ahikom keima hongpai in tui taw tuiphumna pia khi hi.
32 And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
Taciang John in ceptena tettipang a, Thaa sia vantung pan vakhu bang in tuaksuk a, Ama tung ah a tu ka mu hi.
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.
Ama ka he bua hi: ahihang tui taw tuiphumna pia tu in, hong sawl sia in, Ama tung ah Thaa hong tuaksuk tu a, tua na mu uh sia sia, Tha Thiangtho taw tuiphumna pia tu pa hi, ci in hong son hi.
34 And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
Ama ka mu zo a, hisia pa sia Pathian Tapa a hihi, ci in ceptena tettipang khi hi, ci hi.
35 On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
A zingciang in John le a nungzui ni te hong dingkik uh a;
36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
Jesus hongpai a mu ciang in, en vun Pathian Tuuno! ci hi.
37 The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Taciang nungzui nite in tua thu a zak uh ciang, Jesus nung zui uh hi.
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?
Tuazawkciang in Jesus in a nungsang le-et a, amate i zui a mu ciang, amate tung ah, Bang zong nu ziam? ci hi. Amate in, Rabbi awng koisung ah om ni ziam? ci uh hi. Rabbi a khiakna sia syapa awng, a cinopna a hihi.
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.
Jesus in amate tung ah, Hongpai tavun a hong en tavun, ci hi. Amate hongpai uh a, a omna mun mu uh hi, taciang tua ni Ama taw omkhawm uh hi: banghangziam cile a hun sia nitak sang nai li pawl a hihi.
40 One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
John i son thu a za mihing ni te sung ah khat sia Simon Peter suapui pa, Andrew a hihi.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)
A masaphit in a u Simon taw ki si uh a, ko Messiah taw ki mu zo khu hi, ci son hi. Messiah a khiakna sia Christ a ci nopna hi.
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.)
Ama in Jesus kung ah paipui hi. Jesus in ama a et ciang in, Nangma sia Jonah i tapa Simon na hihi: nang sia Cephas hong kici tu hi, ci hi, Cephas a khiakna sia suangpi a cinopna a hihi.
43 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
A zingciang in Jesus sia Galilee ah pai nuam hi, taciang Philip taw ki si a, ama kung ah, Hong zui tan, ci hi.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip sia Bethsaida khua mi hi a, Andrew le Peter te i khua a hihi.
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 in Nathanael mu a, ama kung ah, Moses i thukham sung le kamsang te in a atkholsa, Joseph tapa Nazareth mi Jesus mu zo khu hi, ci hi.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
Taciang Nathanael in, Nazareth khua pan na pha piang thei na ziam? ci hi. Philip in, hongpai tan a, en in, ci hi.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
Jesus in Nathanael hongpai a mu ciang in, En vun, Israel mi tatak a hihi, a sung ah theamna om ngawl hi! ci hi.
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.
Nathanael in, bangbang in hong he thei ni ziam? ci hi. Jesus in, Philip in nang hong sap ma theikung nuai ah na to laitak in, kong mu zo hi, ci hi.
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.
Nathanael in, Rabbi, nangma sia Pathian Tapa na hihi; nangma sia Israel Kumpi na hihi, ci hi.
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.
Jesus in, Theikung nuai ah na to laitak kong mu hi, ka ci hang in hong um ni ziam? Hi te sang in a lianzaw nate na mu lai tu hi, ci in zo kik hi.
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.
Jesus in ama kung ah, Amantak in kong ci hi, a ngei ngawl in van a ki hong na mu tu a, mihing Tapa tung ah Pathian i vantungmi te a tuaksuk le a kato na mu tu hi, ci hi.
