John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Ung'wandyo ai lukoli lukani, nu lukani ai latulaa palung'wi ni Itunda, nu lukani ai latulaa Itunda.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Uyu, u lukani, Ung'wandyo ai watulaa palung'wi ni Itunda.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
I intu yihi ai itumilwe ku ng'wenso, ni anga ihite kutula ng'wenso kutili ga ni kintu king'wi nai katulaa kitumilwe.
4 In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
Mukati akwe ai ukoli u upanga, nu uwo upanga ai watulaa welu nu a ana adamu ihi.
5 And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
Welu welyaa mu kiti, ang'wi i kiti shanga ukaulimisa.
6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Ai ukoli u muntu nai ulagiigwe kupuma kung'wa Itunda, niiza ilina ni lakwe ai watulaa Yohana.
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
Ai wazile anga mukuiili kukiila kutula uwo u welu, iti kina ihi ahume kuhuiila kukiila ng'wenso.
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
U Yohona shanga ai uwo u welu, ila ai uzile iti wakuiile kutula uwo u welu.
9 The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
Iyo ai ayulaa welu nua tai naza utuile uzile mu ihi ni nyenso wimuikila welu kila u ng'wi.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
Ai watulaa mihi, ni ihi ai iumbilwe kukiila ng'wenso, ni ihi shanga ai limumanyile.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Ai uzile ku intu ni akwe, ni antu ni akwe shanga ikamusingiilya.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, —to those who believed in his name;
Ila ku awo ni idu nai amusingiiye, naza alihuiie i lina ni lakwe, ku awo ai uikiiye tai ane ni akutula ana ang'wi Itunda.
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Naza aleilwe shanga ku sakami, ang'wi ku ulowa nua muili, ang'wi ku ulowa nua muntu, ila kung'wi Itunda mukola.
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 ng'wenso u lukani ai wizipiilye muili hangi akikie mukati itu, ka wihengilee ikulyo ni lakwe, ikulyo anga ni la muntu nu ing'wene nua kinyena nai uzile kupuma kung'wa Tata, wizue ukende nua tai.
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.
U Yohana ai ukuiie kutula ung'wenso, nu kitunta ku luli azeligitya, “Uyu yuyoo niza niligitya i nkani niakwe nizeligitya, “Uyo nuzile ze yakilaa unene inge Mukulu kukila unene, kunsoko iiza ukoli ze ikili unene”.
16 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
Kunsoko kupuma mu ukondaniili nu akwe, usese kihi kusingiiye nankanda u uhumi ze yakilaa nia uhumi.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Kunsoko ilagiilyo ai liletilwe kukiila Musa, u ukende ni tai ai izile kukiila Yesu Kristo.
18 No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
Kutili u ng'wana adamu nai umihengile Itunda matungo ihi, muntu wing'wene niiza inge Itunda, nuili mu kikua kang'wa Tata, umizipilye ung'wenso wamanyike.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
Nu uwu wuwu ukuiili nuang'wa Yohana matungo i Akuhani ni Alawi nai alagiigwe kitalakwe ni Ayahudi kumukolya “uewe inge nyenyu?”.
20 And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.
Bila kisinsila hangi shanga ai uhitile, ila ai usukiiye, “Unene shanga Kristo”.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
Uu gwa akamokolya, “ku lulo uewe inge nyenyu itungili?” Uewe inge Eliya? Akaligitya, “Unene shanga” Akaligitya, uewe inge munyakidagu? Akasukiila “A aa”.
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?
Uu gwa akamuila, “uewe inge nyenyu iti kina kuinkiilye isusho naza akulaagiye? Ukikuiila uli uewe mukola?”
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.
Akaligitya, “Unene inge luli nu lakwe nui lilaa muwii, “Migooli i nzila a mukulu! anga munyakidagu Isaya nai uligitilye.”
24 And they were sent from the Pharisees;
Uu gwa ai akoli ni antu alagiigwe kupuma pang'wanso kupuma ku Afalisayo. Akamukolya nu kuligitya,
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?
: ku niki ukoja gwa angize uewe shanga wi Kilisto ang'wi Eliya ang'wi munyakidagu?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
uYohana ai uasukiiye azeligitya: Nukoja ku mazi, Ga ni iti, mukati anyu wimikile muntu ni shanga mumulingile.
27 he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
Uyu yuyo nupembilye ze yakilaa unene, Unene ni mugila uhumi nuakutolya i mikoha a ilatu niakwe,
28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Makani aya ai atulikile uko ku Bethania, itumbi nila Yordani, kianza naiza uYohani ukoli ukoja.
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!
Luhiku nai lutyatile uYohana akamihenga uYesu upembilye kung'waakwe akaligitya, Goza ung'waa nkolo wang'wa Itunda nuiuhola umulandu nua unkumbigulu!
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
uyu yuyo naindigitilye inkani niakwe nizeligitya, Nuanso nupembilye kituli kane inge mukulu kukila unene, kunsoko ai watuile zeikili unene,
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
Shanga ai numulingile ung'wenso, kuiti aiitulikile nanso kina akunukulwe mukati a Israeli, kina ainzile nikazeoja ku mazi,
32 And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
uYohana ai ukuiie, “Ai nihengile uNg'wau Ng'welu ukusima kupuma kilunde mpyani a nkuni nu kusiga migulya akwe.
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.
Unene shanga ai numulingile, kuiti nuanso nai undagiiye iti noje ku mazi ai untambuie, “uyo nize ukihenga Ug'wau Ng'welu ukusima nu kikie migilya akwe, Nuanso yuyo nuojaa ku Ng'wau Ng'walu,
34 And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
Nihengaa nu kukuiila kina uyu ige ng'wana wang'wa Itunda,”
35 On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
Hangi luhiku nai lutyatile uYohana aiukoli wimikile nia manyisigwa akwe abiili,
36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
ai amihengile uYesu ukugenda nu Yohana akaligitya, “Goza, uNng'waa nkolo nuang'wa Itunda”
37 The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Amanyisigwa abiili ai amigulye uYohana ukuligitya aya akamutyata uYesu.
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?
Hangi uYesu ai upilukile nu kuihenga iamanyisigwa awo amutyatile, nu kuaila, “Muloilwe ntuni?” Akamusukiilya, Rabbi, ( ndogoelyo akwe ng'walimu; ) wikiee pii?”
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.
Aka atambuila, “pembyi nu kihenga. “Uugwa ai alongoe nu kihenga i kianza nai wikiee; akikie palung'wi nu ng'wenso u luhiku nulanso, kunsoko aiyatulaa yapikiila saa ikumi iti.
40 One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Ung'wi nua awo ni abiili nai amigulye uYohana ukutambula ni uugwa kumutyata uYesu ai utuile inge Andrea, muluna akwe uSimoni Petro.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)
Akamihenga muluna akwe uSimioni nu kumutambuila,”Kamulijaa uMasihi” (niiza impyanigwe Kristo).
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.)
Akamuleta kung'wa Yesu. uYesu akamugoza nu kuligitya, Uewe wi Simioni ng'wana wang'wa Yohana” wikitangwa Kefa” ( ndogoelyo akwe 'Ptro')
43 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
Luhiku nai lutyatile itungo uYesu nai wahia kuhega kulongola kuGalilaya, ai umuligilye uFilipo nu kumuila, “Ntyate unene.”
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
uFilipo aiwatulaa mukola ihi nua kuBethasaida, kisali kang'wa Adrea nu 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.
uFilipo ai umuligilye uNathanaeli nu kumuila, Kamulijaa uyo naiza uMusa ukilisilye inkani niakwe mu malagiilyo nu Unyakidagu, Yesu ng'wana awng'wa Yusufu, kupuma kuNazareti.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
uNathanaeli akamuila, ''Itii kintu ni kiziza kihumile kupembelya kuNazareti?” uFilipo akamuila, “Nzuu nu kihenga.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
uYesu akaamihenga uNathanaeli upembilye kung'waakwe nu kuligitya, “Goza uMuisraeli tai taai ni mugila u ukongelwa mukati akwe”
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.
uNathanaeli akamuila, “Uningile kinyauli unene?” uYesu akamusukiilya nu kumuila, Aza ikili uFilipo kuitanga naza ukoli pihi pi ikota, aza nakihengaa.”
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.
uNahanaeli akasukiilya, “Rabi uewe wi Ng'wana wang'wa Itunda Uewe wi Mutemi nua 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.
uYesu akasukiilya akamuila, Kunsoko nukuiie aza 'nukihengile pihi i kota' itii wahuiila? ukihenga ntendo nkulu kukila izi.”
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.
uYesu akaligitya, “Huiili huiili kumuili mikihenga ilunde likuluguka, nu kuihenga iamalaika akunankila nu kusima migulya a Ng'wana wang'wa Adamu.”
