John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Qaalay koyro de7ees. Qaalaykka Xoossaara de7ees; he Qaalay Xoossaa.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Koyroppe Qaalay Xoossaara de7ees.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
Xoossay ubbabaa Qaalaa baggara medhdhis. Medhettidabaappe issoykka iya baggara medhettonabay baawa.
4 In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
Iyan de7oy de7ees; he de7oy asaas poo7o.
5 And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
Poo7oy dhuman poo7ees; dhumay poo7uwa xoonibeenna.
6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Xoossay kiittida, issi Yohaannisa giya asi de7ees.
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
Asa ubbay poo7uwan ammanana mela I poo7os markka gididi yis.
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
I poo7uwabaa markkattanaw yisippe attin ba huu7en poo7o gidenna.
9 The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
Asa ubbaas poo7isiya tuma poo7oy alamiya yees.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
Qaalay alamen de7is. Xoossay Qaalan alamiya medhdhis, shin alamey iya eribeenna.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
I bayssatakko yis, shin iyayssati iya ekkibookkona.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, —to those who believed in his name;
Shin I bana ekkidayssatasinne iya sunthan ammanidayssatas Xoossaa nayta gidana mela maata immis.
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Entti Xoossafe yelettidosonappe attin asi yelettiya wogan woykko adde shenen woykko asa amon yelettibookkona. Xoossay I entta aawa.
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.
Qaalay ase gidis; aadho keehatethaanne tumaa kumidi nu giddon de7is. I aawas issi na7aa gididi ekkida iya bonchchuwa nuuni be7ida.
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.
Yohaannisi iyabaa markkattis. Ba qaalaa dhoqqu oothidi, “Taani, ‘Taappe guyera yeyssi taappe kase de7iya gisho taappe aadhdhees’ gada markkattidayssi hayssa” yaagis.
16 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
Nuuni ubbay iya aadho keehatethaa kumethaafe anjjo bolla anjjo ekkida.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Xoossay higgiya Muse baggara immis, shin aadho keehatethaynne tumatethay Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara yis.
18 No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
Xoossaa be7ida asi oonikka baawa; ba Aawa matan de7iya issi Na7aa xalaali baw Xoosse gididayssi iya qonccisis.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
Yerusalaamen de7iya Ayhude halaqati, kahinetanne Leeweta, “Neeni oonee?” gidi, Yohaannisa oychchana mela iyaakko kiittin, Yohaannisi enttaw markkattida markkatethay hayssa.
20 And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.
Yohaannisi, “Taani Kiristtoosa gidikke” yaagidi, geeshshidi markkattisippe attin kaddibeenna.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
Entti, “Yaatin, neeni oonee? Neeni Eliyaaseyye?” yaagidi oychchidosona. Yohaannisi, “Akkay gidikke” yaagis. Qassi entti, “Neeni yaana geetettida nabiyayye?” yaagidi oychchidosona. Yohaannisi, “Akkay” gidi zaaris.
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?
Yaatin, “Neeni oonee? Nuuni nuna kiittidayssatas odana mela neeni nena oona gay?” yaagidosona.
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.
Yohaannisi zaaridi, “Nabiya Isayaasi gidayssada, ‘Godaa ogiya suurisite!’ gidi bazzo biittan waassiya uraa qaalay tana” yaagis.
24 And they were sent from the Pharisees;
Qassi Farisaaweti kiittida asati
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?
Yohaannisakko, “Neeni Kiristtoosa woykko Eliyaasa woykko nabe gidonna ixxiko, yaatin ays xammaqay?” gidi oychchidosona.
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
Yohaannisi zaaridi, “Taani haathan xammaqays, shin hintte eronna asi hintte giddon eqqis.
27 he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
I taappe guyera yees. Taani hari attoshin iya caammaa wodoruwa billanaw bessike” yaagis.
28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Hessi ubbay Yorddaanose Shaafappe hefinthan, Bitaaniya giya biittan, Yohaannisi xammaqiya bessan hanis.
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!
Yohaannisi wonttetha gallas Yesuusi baakko yishin be7idi, “Alamiya nagara quchchiya Xoossaa Dorssay hayssa!
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
Taani, ‘Taappe guyera issi asi yaana. I taappe kase de7iya gisho taappe aadhdhees’ gada odidayssi hayssa.
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
I ooneekko taani erikke. Shin Isra7eele asaas iya qonccisanaw haathan xammaqashe yas” yaagis.
32 And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
Yohaannisi hayssada yaagidi markkattis: “Geeshsha Ayyaanay saloppe holeda wodhdhishininne iyara de7ishin be7as.
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.
Hessi hananaappe kase taani iya erikke. Shin haathan xammaqanaw tana kiittida Xoossay, ‘Geeshsha Ayyaanay wodhdhidi iyara de7ishin neeni be7anaysinne Geeshsha Ayyaanan xammaqanayssi iya’ yaagidi taw odis.
34 And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
Taani hessi hanishin be7ada, I Xoossaa Na7aa gididayssa markkattays” yaagis.
35 On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
Qassi wonttetha gallas Yohaannisi ba tamaaretappe nam77atara issife eqqis.
36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
Yesuusi aadhdhishin Yohaannisi be7idi, “Xoossaa dorssay haysish!” yaagis.
37 The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Yohaannisa nam77u tamaareti Yohaannisi geyssa si7idi Yesuusa kaallidosona.
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?
Yesuusi bana kaalleyssata guye simmi be7idi, “Ay koyeetii?” yaagidi oychchis. Entti zaaridi, “Asttamaariyaw, neeni awun de7ay?” yaagidosona.
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.
Yesuusi enttako, “Haa yidi be7ite” yaagis. Entti bidi I de7iyasuwa be7idosona. He gallas sa7ay tammu saate heera gidiya gisho iya matan pee7idosona.
40 One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Yohaannisi gidayssa si7idi, Yesuusa kaallida nam77u tamaaretappe issoy, Simoon Phexiroosa ishaa Inddiriyasa.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)
Inddiriyasi koyro ba ishaa Simoonara gayttidi, “Nuuni Kiristtoosa demmida” yaagis.
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.)
Inddiriyasi Simoona Yesuusakko ehis. Yesuusi Simoona be7idi, “Neeni Yoona na7aa Simoona; ne sunthay Keefa gidi xeegettana” yaagis.
43 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
Wonttetha gallas Yesuusi Galiila biittaa baanaw qofa qachchis. I Filiphphoosara gayttidi, “Tana kaalla!” yaagis.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filiphphoosi, Inddiriyasinne Phexiroosi de7ida Beetesayda giya katamaappe yida ase.
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.
Filiphphoosi Natina7eelara gayttidi, “Musey higge maxaafan, qassi nabetikka iyabaa xaafida Yoosefa na7aa Naazirete Yesuusa nuuni demmida” yaagis.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
Natina7eeli zaaridi, “Naazirete katamaappe lo77obay keyanaw dandda7ii?” yaagis. Filiphphoosi, “Yada be7a” yaagis.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
Natina7eeli baakko yeyssa Yesuusi be7idi, “Geney baynna tuma Isra7eele asi hayssa!” yaagis.
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.
Natina7eeli Yesuusakko, “Neeni tana awun eray?” yaagis. Yesuusi zaaridi, “Filiphphoosi nena xeeganaappe sinthe, neeni balase mithaa garssan de7ishin taani nena be7as” yaagis.
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.
Natina7eeli zaaridi, “Asttamaariyaw, neeni Xoossaa Na7aa! Neeni Isra7eele kawo!” yaagis.
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.
Yesuusi iyaakko, “Taani nena balase mithee garssan be7as gida gisho ammanay? Neeni hayssafe aadhdhiyabaa be7ana!” yaagis.
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.
Qassi Yesuusi, “Taani hinttew tuma odays; saloy dooyettin, Xoossaa kiitanchchoti Asa Na7aa bolla keyishininne wodhdhishin hintte be7ana” yaagis.
