John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Kiogo sa kale pabile ni neno, ni ywa neno abile pamope ni Nnongo, nga ywa Neno abile Nnongo.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Aywoo, Neno, palyo kinchogo abile pamope ni Nnongo.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
Ilebe yoti gatipangilwa petya ywembe, mana ntopo ywembe chalowa pangika kwaa hata kilebe chimo.
4 In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
Nkati yake ngaubile ukoti, ni wolo ukoti wabile bweya ya bandu boti.
5 And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
Bweya yating'ala mulubendo, wala lubendo lwaloweza kwaa kwiima.
6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Pabile ni mundu ywatumilwe kuoma kwa Nnongo, lina lyake akemelwa Yohana.
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
Ywaisile kati shaidi woshuhudia husu yelo bweya, ili bote baweze amini petya ywembe.
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
Yohana abile kwaa yelo bweya, ila aisile ili shuhudia husu yelo bweya.
9 The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
Eyo yabile bweya ya kweli yabile yaisa mu'dunia niyembe yampea bweya kila yumo.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
Abile mu'dunia, ni dunia iumbilwe petya ywembe, ni dunia yantangite kwaa.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Aisile kwa ilebe yake, ni bandu bake bampokya kwaa.
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 kwa balo baingi babampokile, balo baamini lina lyake, kwa balo kabapeya haki ya kuwa bana ba Nnongo.
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Bababelekilwe, kwa mwai kwaa, wala kwa mapenzi ga yega, wala kwa mapenzi ga mundu, ila kwa Nnongo mwene.
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.
Ni ywembe Neno apangilwe yega ni tama nkati yitu, tuubweni utukufu wake, kati utukufu wa mundu kichake wa kipekee ywabile kuoma kwa Tate, atwelile 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 atishuhudia husu ywembe, ni akoiye kwa lilobe kabaya, “Ayoo nga ywembe nimmakiye habari yake nibayite, “Yolo ywaisa baada yango nga nkolo kuliko nenga, kwa maana abile kabla yango.”
16 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
Kwa mana kuoma mu'utimilifu wake, twenga twaboti, twapoki bure ipawa baada ya ipawa.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Kwa mana saliya yatiisa petya Musa. Neema ni kweli yaisile petya 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.
Ntopo mundu ywamwonile Nnongo muda wowoti. Mundu pekee ywabile nga Nnongo, abile mu'kifua sa Tate, apangite ywembe ayowanike.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
Awoo nga ushuhuda ba Yohana palyo makuhani ni alawi bantumilwe kwake ni Ayahudi kubamwuliza.”Wenga wa nyai?”
20 And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.
Bila kusitasita ni kakana kwaa, ila kaayangwa, “Nenga na Kristo kwaa.”
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
Eyo kabannokiya, “kwa eyo wenga wanyai? wenga wa Eliya?” Kabaya, “Nenga kwaa” Kababaya, “Wenga wa nabii?” Kayangwa, “Hapana.”
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?
Boka po kabammakiya, “Wenga wa nyai, ili tubapei jibu balo batutumile?” Kabaujishuhudie kwaa wenga wa mwene?”
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.
Kabaya, “Nenga nga lilobe lyake ywabile mmwitu:'Mwinyoshe ndela ya Ngwana,'kati nabii Isaya abayite.”
24 And they were sent from the Pharisees;
Bai pabile ni bandu batumilwe palyo kuoma kwa Mafarisayo. Kabannobiya no baya,
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 mwanja namani wabatiza bai kati wenga wa Kristo kwaa wala Eliya wala nabii?”
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
Yohana kaayangwa kabaya, “Nabatiza kwa mase, Hata nyoo, nkati yinu atiyema mundu muntangite kwaa.
27 he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
Aywoo nga aisa baada yango, Nenga nastahili kwaa kuilegeza gidamu ya ilatu yake.”
28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Makowe aga gapangike Bethania, ng'ambo ya Yordani, pandu Yohana abile atibabatiza bandu.
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!
Lisoba lya naibele Yohana amweni Yesu aisa kwake kabaya, “Linga mwana ngondolo wa Nnongo ywaitola sambi ya dunia!
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
Aywoo nga ywembe ywa nilongela makowe gake natibaya, “Ywembe ywaisa kunchogo kwango nga nkolo kuliko nenga, kwa mana abile kabla yango.'
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
Hata nenga nintangite kwaa ywembe, lakini ipangilwe nyoo ili aitambulishe mu'Israeli, naisile kwabatiza kwa mase.”
32 And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
Yohana atishuhudia, “Namweni Roho kuoma kumaunde mpwano wa ua, ni abile nnani yake.
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.
Nenga nintangite kwaa lakini ywembe ywanitumile ili niabatize kwa mase anibakiye,'yolo ywabile lola Roho kauluka no tama nnani yake, Aywoo nga aabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.'
34 And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
Namweni na kumshuhudia yolo nga Mwana wa Nnongo.”
35 On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
Kae lisoba lyanaibele Yohana ayemi pamope ni anapunzi bake abele,
36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
bamweni Yesu katyanga ni Yohana kabaya, “Linga mwana ngondolo wa Nnongo!”
37 The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Anapunzi abele kaban'yowa Yohana kabaya aga kaban'yangwa 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?
Kae Yesu atikelebuka ni kuabona anapunzi balo bakinkengama, ni kabammakiya, “Mwapala namani? Kaban'yangwa, “Rabbi, (maana yake 'mwalimu,' utama kwaako?”
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.
Kaabakiya, “Muiche na mubweni, “Boka po kabayenda ni kubona pandu abile akitama, batitama pamope naywembe lisoba lelo, kwa mana ibile kati saa komi.
40 One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Yumo nkati ya balo abele kaban'yowa Yohana kalongela ni boka po kankengama Yesu abile Andrea, nnuna wake 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.)
Amweni nnongo bake Simoni ni kummakiya, “Tumweni masihi” (maana yake 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.)
Atikunneta kwa Yesu. Yesu atikunlola ni kubaya, “Wenga wa Simoni mwana wa Yohana “wakemilwe Kefa,” (maana yake 'Petro')
43 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
Lisoba lya isile palyo Yesu kabapala kuboka kuyendya Galilaya, ampatike Filipo no kum'bakiya, “Ngengame nenga.”
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filipo ywabile 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 ampatike Nathanaeli ni kummakiya, Tuweni yolo ywaandikilwe habari zake mu saliya ya manabii. Yesu mwana wa Yusufu, kuoma Nazareti.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
Nathanieli kammakiya, “Je kilebe kinoite chalowa boka Nazareti?” Filipo kammakiya, Uiche ni ubone.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
Yesu amweni Nathanieli kaisa kwake nobaya, “Linga, mwisaeli ywa kweli abile kwaa ni ubocho nkati yake!
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.
Nathanieli kammakiya “Unitangite kwaa nenga?” Yesu kayangwa ni kummakiya, “Kabla Filipo akukema kwaa paubile pae ya mtini, natikubona.”
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.
Nathanieli kayangwa, “Rabbi wenga wa mwana wa Nnongo! wenga wa mpwalume wa 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 kayangwa ni kummakiya, kwa mana nikumakiye,'natikubona pae ya mtini' je waamini? walowa bona makowe makolo kuliko aga.”
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 kabaya, Amini amini naabakiya mwalowa kubona maunde gayongolilwe, ni kubona malaika kabaoboka ni uluka nnani ya mwana wa Adamu.”
