< John 1 >

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Dati inu tuba Nigburang na rani, nigbura nazi nigino me nan Asere, nigbura nigino me Asere mani.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Me mani datti unu tuba mazi nan Ugomo Asere.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
Vatt timumum, awuzi ahira ameme, daki a barka ire imum sarki me ba.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Me mani ivai irani, ivai igino me ya cukuno masaa ma nabu.
5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
Masaa mazin nu gido mareu, mareu me daki ma ranga masaa ba.
6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.
8 He was not the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light.
9 There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, coming into the world.
Kadure ka masaa me ka raani sa ka ehzi unee me sa mazi nu bezi anu masaa me.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Maa ra anyimo unee me, unee me wa cukuno atari ti meme vat anime unee me waa rusi in me ba.
11 He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.
Maa eh ahira anu meme, anu ameme wa nyare me.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
Vat ibinani andesa waa kabi me, andesa wahemi in niza ni meme maa nya we nikara wa cukuno ahana Asere.
13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Ande besa ayoo inzo a maye ba nani usuro unipum nani unubu, usuro Asere ani.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
Nigburang niginome na cukuno nipum. Anyimo aru ta ira ni nonzo nimeme, ninonzo ni vana u inde ugino me ahira acoo umeme, gbem ini mum iriri nan kadure.
15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.
Yuhana maa bezi uni tisa in nikara magu, “Unu ugeme me mani maa buki tize anice nimeme unu guna, 'Desa ma ehze adumo am ma tekum, barki maa rani aje am.”'
16 For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.
Barki umyinca umeme taa kabi imum iriri aseser imum iriri.
17 For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Barki u inko utize atari ti Musa a nya tini urunta nan kadure. ka ciki ahira a Yeso vana Asere cas.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
Daki a iri uganiya sa uye ma iri Asere ba. Vana u inde Asere me, me sa ma hibi abigiri ba acoo, me mani maa bezi me.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?
Yahaya ma beziwe imumbe samarusa, ine ini ayahudawa watumi ahira ana katuma kudege. Ugomo Asere nannan lawiya uhana urshalima wa ikime nani memani aveni.
20 And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ.
Manno mabuki kadura, daki mawuzi matara nan weba ma; azomemani ugomo asere ba.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
Wanna wa ikime wagun me aneni homami iliya me? makabirkawe, “A'a azomemaniba.” Wanno wagunme hamani unu beze tizeme? Manno magunwe, A; a”.
22 They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
Wanno wakuri wa ikime hu aveni barki tikem ukabirka uweme barki tirusi imumbe satidi kabuka andesa tumanduru? Utisa nicce agi aveni?
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
Makabirka we magun mi nigmirangnige sa nitisa anija'a nigusa nyani ugomo asere muriba mushime gusi imumbe sa Ishaya mazinnu boo me.”
24 And they had been sent from the Pharisees.
We me, Afarisiyawa wani watumi we.
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?
Wanno wa ikime barki nyanini uzorsanu azohu ugomo asere mani ba a zohu iliya mani ba hume unu bezizzi kadura kagino me?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,
Yahaya makabirka we, magunwe me in gei mani in zorso anabon, uye maluri anyimo ashime sa iteshi me.
27 [even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.
Memani ma-eze adumo umunu be sa binyimo bakpatak ameme daki mabari in suso ini ma ba.
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Awuzi anime ubatanya uni uhuru uraba u urdu uni, ahira sa yahaya ma zorso anabon.
29 On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world!
Unu sana-ahira yahaya ma iri yeso ma eze ahira ameme, yahaya magu,”yaira mi vana ubitan bu gomo asere, desa madi ziki madini munee.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is become before me: for he was before me.
Anime ani mabukishi uye ma eze adumo am, memani unaje am barki dati marani aminiba.
31 And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing with water.
Dati maruseme ba me abezeme ayumu isaraila ma-ah ma zorsanu in maye.
32 And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.
Yahaya kaberka magu ma-ira bibewu bezennu tuzo. Kase kuhurge ka sure a zesare ku cukuno ane gerza numeme.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.
Dati maruseme ba, memani dese matumum in zorso anu in mayi, memani ma bukum dese ma ira bibew ba asere batu bikure bicukunu aneeh numeme memani. Ma zorsa anabu in bibew ba asere.
34 And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.
Makure ire in kure beze, unu uginome vana asere mane.
35 Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;
Unu sana ahirs yahaya ma lure nan na nakatuma ana ware.
36 and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
Mazen nuhira yeso mazen tanu manno magu irane vana ubetam baasere!”
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Ahana akztumame ana ware sa wakunna ma rezo adeze, wanno wadusa wa tarse yeso.
38 And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), where abidest thou?
Yeso magamirka ma iri wazinnu tarsa ume, manno maunwe, “Nyanini izin nu nyarame? Wanno wagun me, hu unu urusa abanga abanname unu unyenkike uciki abanie.
39 He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour.
Manno magun wae ayeni, i'iri.” Wanno waha waka ira ahira me sa machikin, wanno wahirii negome uhana azumo anazi unu wunjoro.
40 One of the two that heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Unu idai ayumo ana wareme sa wakunna tize ti yahaya wanno wa kuri wa tarzi yeso, andarawas mani mazi uhenu u bitrus.
41 He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
Maubi ma uhenu umeme sa bitrus, takem Asere, “Memani asere ma hummaka maturi me.
42 He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).
Manno mahan me ahira Ayeso, Yeso ma iri me, magun me hamani saminu vana u yahaya? adi tesawe kefas.” (ni neni bitrus).
43 On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.
Sa ahira asana yeso mahiri udusa a manyanga mu galili, abini me ani makem Filibus magun me ano tarsam.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filibus unanu betsaida mani nepeni numeme nan andarawas, nan bitrus.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
Filibus ma kemnata-ala, magumme ta kem dey sa musa ma nyatike abanga ameme anyimo aka dura be sa ugomo. Asere ma inki men, ana kadura ka asere wa kuri wa nyentika abanga ameme, memani yeso una anu nazere, vana u yusufu.
46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
Nata ala magunme ade kem imum ihuma unazarat me filibus magun me aye u'iri.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Yeso ma-iri nata-ala ma eze ahira ameme, magu ina nu ana ira'a ni, unu u isara-ile nun ukadura, de besa mazo me ini mum izenze a puru ameme.
48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
Nata-ala magunme urusam abane? Yeso ma kabir kame ma gunme udaniya, sa wara akurame filibus matitiwe mamu rusawe.
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel.
Nata-al ma kabirka me magu, “Una kura huu vana asere mani hurugomo isara'ila mani!”
50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
Yeso makabir ka me, “Ma gumme mi maguna huu mairawe akura uzunu bezi kadura, ude ire imum be sa iteki iginome.”
51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Yeso ma bukime ane ani mabuka, “Shi ide ire a zesere a harzena Malika asere wazen nu yize nan na tazu nan vana unuboo.
