John 1
1 Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God.
Akcük ma säiha Ngthu a na veki; Ngthu cun Mhnam am atänga veki, Ngthu cun Mhnama kyaki.
2 The same, was originally, with God.
Ngthu cun akcük ma säih üngkhyüh Mhnam am a na veki.
3 All things, through him, came into existence, and, without him, came into existence, not even one thing: that which hath come into existence,
Ahmäi naküt ani üngkhyüh Pamhnam naw a mhnüna kyaki; mhnünmceng naküt üng ani am ngpüikia mhnün i pi am ve.
4 in him, was, life, and, the life, was, the light of men.—
Ngthu cun xünnaka phungnua kyaki; acuna xünnak naw khyangea vei akvai lawpüiki.
5 And, the light, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold.
Akvai cun anghmüpnaka vai law se, nghmüp naw am näng mkhüt.
6 There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John:
Pamhnam naw a ngsä mat a tüih law, a ngming cun Johana kyaki.
7 The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him.
Ani naw khyangea veia akvaia mawng cun pyen se, khyange naw ngja u lü ami jumei law vai ua phäha kyaki.
8 He, was not the light, —but, that he might bear witness concerning the light,
Amät cun akvai am ni, akvaia mawng pyen khaia lawki.
9 It, was—The real light that enlighteneth every man—Coming into the world.
Ani cun akvai kcang, khawmdek khana law lü khyang naküta khana vaiki.
10 In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not.
Ngthu cun khawmdek khana veki, khawmdek cun ani üngkhyüh mhnünmcenga kyaki. Acunsepi khawmdek naw ani am ksing.
11 Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.
Amäta khyangea veia lawki. Acunsepi, amäta khyange naw am dokhamei u.
12 But, as many as did receive him, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become, —unto them who were believing on his name:
Acunsepi, avang naw doei lü jumei u se, Pamhnama caea thawn theinak a jah pet.
13 Who—not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but—of God, were born.
Acun he cun nghngicima mtisa thithaü üngkhyüh cawmbei lawkie am ni. Khyanga pasang üngka naw ngtüi lawkie pi am ni u, amimia pa ta Pamhnam ni.
14 And, the Word, became, flesh, and pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory, —a glory, as an Only-begotten from his Father. Full of favour and truth.
Ngthu cun nghngicima ngtüi lawki; bäkhäknak ja ngthungtak am be lü mi ksunga veki. Paa ca mat däka hlüngtainaka kba, a hlüngtainak cun mi hmuhki.
15 (John beareth witness concerning him, and hath cried aloud, saying—the same, was he that said—He who, after me, was coming, before me, hath advanced; because, my Chief, was he.)
Johan naw ania mawng a pyen ta, ‘Ka pyen khawi cen ani ni, “Ani cun ka hnua law kyaw sepi ka maa a na ve pängki ni” a ti.
16 Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour.
Kümceikia ania bäkhäknak am dawkyanaka thea dawkyanak mi van naw mi yahki.
17 Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence.
Thum cun Mosia kut üngkhyüh Pamhnam naw a jah peta kyaki. Acunsepi, bäkhäknak ja ngthungtak ta Jesuh Khritaw üngkhyüh a jah peta kyaki.
18 No one, hath seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [him].
U naw pi Pamhnam am hmuh khawi. Pamhnam am täng lü, Paa peia veki, a Capa mat däk naw paa mawng jah ksingsak pängki.
19 And, this, is the witness of John, when the Jews sent forth unto him, out of Jerusalem, priests and Levites, —that they might question him—Who art, thou?
Jerusalema veki Judah ngvaie naw, “Nang u ni?” ti lü, kthäh acun hea ktaiyü he ja Levihe Johana veia ami jah tüih.
20 and he confessed, and did not deny, —and he confessed—I, am not, the Christ;
Johan naw käh mjih lü, “Kei Mesijah am ni ngü,” ti lü a jah msang.
21 and they questioned him—What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith—I am not; The prophet, art, thou? and he answered—No!
Amimi naw, “Nang u ni? Nang Elijah aw?” ti lü ami kthäh. Johan naw, “Am ni ngü” a ti. “Nang Sahma aw?” ami ti. Johan naw, “Am ni ngü” ti lü, a jah msang.
22 So they said unto him—Who, art thou? that, an answer, we may give, unto them who sent us, —What sayest thou, concerning thyself?
Amimi naw, “Acunüng nang u ni, jah mtheha? jah tüih lawkie kami jah mthehnak be vai ami ti. Namäta mawng hin ihawkba na pyenki ni?” ti lü ami kthäh betü u.
23 He said—I, am a Voice, of one crying aloud; —In the desert, make ye straight, the way of the Lord: according as said Isaiah the prophet.
Johan naw, “Sahma Hesajah naw a pyena mäiha, ‘Bawipaa lawnak vai lam ngsungsak u,’ ti lü khawmkyanga ngpyangki kthaia ka kyaki ni,” a ti.
24 And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees;
Pharisee naw ami jah tüiha khyange cun naw,
25 and they questioned him, and said unto him—Why, then, dost thou immerse, —if, thou, art not, the Christ, nor Elijah, nor, the Prophet?
“Mesijah am ni, Elijah am ni, sahmaa pi am na ni üng, ise Baptican na jah peki ni?” ti u lü ami kthäh betü u.
26 John answered them, saying—I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; —
Johan naw, “Kei naw tui am Baptican ka jah pe khawiki, nami ksunga khyang mat am nami ksing ngdüiki.
27 after me, coming: —Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.
Ani cun ka hnua law sepi, a khawdawk yüi suh pet khaia pi am nglawi ngü” ti lü, a jah msang.
28 These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
Ahin avan cun Johan naw baptican a jah petnaka hnün Jordan mliktui pei Bethaniha thawnhlawkia kyaki.
29 On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith—See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.
Angawi üng Johan naw Jesuh a veia law se hmuh lü, “Khawmdeka mkhyekatnak cehpüiki Pamhnama Toca teng u!
30 This, is he, of whom, I, said—After me, cometh a man, who, before me, hath advanced, because, my Chief, was he.
Acan ni, ‘Keia kthaka dämduh bawki, ka hnua lawki kyaw, cunüngpi ka maa a na ve päng kungki ni,’ ka ti cen ani ni.
31 And, I, knew him not, but, that he might be manifested unto Israel, therefore, came, I, in water, immersing.
Akcüka ani am ksing ngü, cunsepi, Isarele naw ani ami ksing law vaia, kei naw law lü tui am Baptican ka jah peki,” a ti.
32 And John bare witness, saying—I have gazed upon the Spirit, descending like a dove, out of heaven, —and it abode upon him.
Johan naw a mawng pyen lü, “Ngmüimkhya cun müma mäiha khankhaw üngka naw kyum law lü a khana ngawki ka hmuh.
33 And, I, knew him not, —but, he that sent me to immerse in water, he, unto me, said—Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding upon him, the same, is he that immerseth in Holy Spirit.
“Akcüka ta ani ni ti am ksing ngü. Cunsepi, tui am Baptican ka jah pe khaia na tüih lawki Pamhnam naw, ‘Ngmüimkhya a khana kyum law lü a ngawhnaka khyang na hmuh üng, ani cun Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am Baptican jah pe khaia Khyang ni’ ti lü a na mtheh.
34 I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness—That, this, is, the, Son of God.
Johan naw “Ani ka hmuh pängki, ani Pamhnama Capaa kyaki tia ka ning jah mthehki,” a ti.
35 On the morrow, again, was John standing, and, from among his disciples, two;
Angawi betü üng, Johan naw axüisaw xawi nghngih am ngdüi lü,
36 and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith—See! the Lamb of God!
Jesuh law se hmuh lü, “Acan ni Pamhnama Toca,” a ti.
37 and the two disciples hearkened unto him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Axüisaw xawi naw a pyen ngja ni lü, Jesuh läki xawi.
38 But Jesus, turning, and looking at them following, saith unto them—What seek ye? And, they, said unto him—Rabbi! which meaneth, when translated, Teacher, Where abidest thou?
Jesuh naw ani veia nghlat lü läk law ni se a jah hmuh üng, “I nani suiki” ti lü, a jah kthäh. Anini naw, ‘Rabbi (Saja tinak), hawia na veki?” ani ti.
39 He saith unto them—Be coming, and ye shall see. They came, therefore, and saw where he abode, and, with him, they abode that day. It was about the tenth, hour.
Jesuh naw, “Law ni lü nani hmuh khai,” a ti. Cit ni lü a venak ani hmuh, acuna mhnüp cun a hlawnga veeiki xawi; acun cun mülama (Naji kphyü bang) kyaki.
40 One of the two that heard from John and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
Johana ngthu pyen ngja ni lü, Jesuh läki nghngih üngka mat cun Sihmon Pita a na Andrua kyaki.
41 The same findeth, first, his own brother Simon, and saith unto him—We have found the Messiah! which is, when translated, Anointed.
Andru naw akcüka a be Sihmon hmuh lü, “Mesijah hmuh ve ung” ti lü, a mtheh (Mesijah ti cun Khritaw tinak ni).
42 He led him unto Jesus. Jesus, looking at him, said—Thou, art Simon, the son of John, —thou, shalt be called, Cephas; which is to be translated, Peter.
Acunüng, Sihmon cun Jesuha veia a lawpüi. Jesuh naw teng lü, “Nang hin Johana capa Sihmon na ngmingnaki, Kephaa ning sui khaie,” a ti (Acun cun Pita üng täng lü, “Lung” tinaka kyaki).
43 On the morrow, he desired to go forth into Galilee. And Jesus findeth Philip, and saith unto him—Be following me!
Angawi üng Jesuh Kalile khawa cit khaia a ngtün üng, Philip hmuh lü, “Na läk lawa” a ti. (
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip cun Bethsaida mlüha kaa kyaki, acun cun Andru ja Pitaa ani venaka mlüha kyaki.)
45 Philip, findeth, Nathanael, and saith unto him—Him, of whom wrote Moses in the law, and the Prophets, have we found.—Jesus, son of Joseph, him from Nazareth!
Philip naw Natanelah hmuh lü, “Mosi naw ania mawng Thum üng a yuk, sahma he naw pi a mawng ami yuk, Nazaret üngka, Josepa capa Jesuh, kami hmuhkie” ti lü a mtheh.
46 And Nathanael said unto him—Out of Nazareth, can any good thing come? Philip saith unto him—Come, and see!
Natanelah naw, “Nazaret mlüha cimvaiki ve khai aw?” a ti. Philip naw, “Law lü, teng lawa” a ti be.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and saith concerning him—See! Truly, an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Jesuh naw, Natanelah a veia law se hmuh lü, “A mkhyenak lang am vekia Isarel khyang kcang, teng ua” ti lü, a pyen.
48 Nathanael saith unto him—Whence, dost thou, know, me? Jesus answered, and said unto him—Before Philip called thee, —when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
Natanelah naw, “Nang naw ihawkba na na ksing ni?” a ti. Jesuh naw, “Philip naw am a ning khü ham lü, Fikdung phunga na ve üng ka ning hmuh päng ni” a ti be.
49 Nathanael answered him—Rabbi! thou, art, the Son of God: Thou, art, King, of Israel.
Natanelah naw, “Rabbi, nang Pamhnama Capa ni, Isarelea Sangpuxanga pi kya veki,” a ti.
50 Jesus answered, and said unto him—Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? A greater thing than these, shalt thou see!
Jesuh naw, “Fikdung phunga na ve üng ka ning hmuh päng ni’ ka tia phäha na na kcangnaki aw? Ahina kthaka dämduh bawki na hmuh law khai,” a ti.
51 And he saith unto him—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye shall see heaven—when set open, and, the messengers of God, ascending and descending unto the Son of Man.
Jesuh bä naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki. Tuha khankhaw nghmawng lü Pamhnama khankhawngsäe Khyanga Capaa khana ju kyum jeng kai u se nami jah hmuh law khai,” a ti.
