< John 1 >

1 Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God.
Mongrep maang dongsiitka di, Rangte Jengkhaap ah eje angta; heh Rangte damdi angta, eno Jengkhaap ah Rangte angta.
2 The same, was originally, with God.
Ephangdong dowa ih Jengkhaap ah Rangte damdi angta.
3 All things, through him, came into existence, and, without him, came into existence, not even one thing: that which hath come into existence,
Rangte ih jirep ah heh jun ih dongsiitta; jaatrep dongsiitta dowa esiit taan uh heh jun ih ladongka rah tajeeka.
4 in him, was, life, and, the life, was, the light of men.—
Jengkhaap ah roidong choh lampo angta, eno roidong erah ih mina raangtaan ih weephaak thukta.
5 And, the light, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold.
Weephaak ah rangnak khoni phaakta, eno rangnak ih erah weephaak ah mabah uh tajen met siitta.
6 There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John:
Rangte ih weephaak tiit ah mina suh baat thuksuh, mih wasiit Joon ngeh ih kongphaak kotte kaat thukta,
7 The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him.
tiimnge liidi, heh tiitkhaap ah loongtang ih chaat rum ano hanpi toom ih rum ah.
8 He, was not the light, —but, that he might bear witness concerning the light,
Heh teewah bah amiisak di weephaak tah angta; weephaak tiit ah ba baatkaat taha.
9 It, was—The real light that enlighteneth every man—Coming into the world.
Erah baatta langla amiisak weephaak ah angta, erah weephaak ah arah mongrep adi ra haano mina loongtang suh kaangtook koha.
10 In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not.
Jengkhaap ah langla arah mongrep adi angta, arah mongrep ah Rangte ih heh mendi hoonta bah uh, arah mongrep dowa mina ih tasamjat rumta.
11 Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.
Heh teewah deek akaan ni ra taha, erabah uh heh miloong ah ih heh jeng ah takap rumta.
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:
Enoothong, o mina ih heh jeng ah kap ih rum ano hanpi rumta, erah miloong ah Rangte suh asah eh hoon suh epun e ah.
13 Who—not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but—of God, were born.
Neng loong ah Rangte sah ih hoonta, mina hansi nuh awah nawa tup arah tah angta; Rangte ah neng loong raangtaan ih neng Wah eh hoonta.
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.
Jengkhaap ah mina eh donghoonta eno minchan nyia amiisak pan angta, seng loong damdi roong songtong taha. Heh rangka ah seng ih tup eti, erah rangka ah Hewah jiin nawa Hesah heh luulu ang thoidi choha.
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.)
Joon ih heh tiit baatta adoh erongrongwah ih riibaatta, “Arah tiit ah ngah ih amah kabaat rum taha, ‘Heh nga lidoh raaha, enoothong nga nang ih heh elong ang ah, tiimnge liidi ngah maang tup diidook heh eje angta.’”
16 Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour.
Heh jiinni minchan ehan je thoidi loongtang suh romseetam koh hali, seng loong asuh esiit esiit suh romseetam koh hali.
17 Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence.
Rangte ih Moses jun ih Hootthe kota, enoothong minchan nyia amiisak tiit ah Jisu Kristo jun ih koh hali.
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].
Rangte ah oh ih uh tathaak tupka. Rangte reeni Hewah tooto ih tongla, Hesah asuh luulu ba jatthuk ha.
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?
Jerusalem dowa Jehudi ngoong awang loong ah ih romwah nyia Lewi nok hah marah marah loong ah Joon reeni kaat thuk rum ano, chengkaat thuk rumta, “An o anglu?”
20 and he confessed, and did not deny, —and he confessed—I, am not, the Christ;
Joon ih neng suh ngaakbaat ah tah daanta, enoothong neng suh saasa ih dokbaat rumta, Heh ih baat rumta: [Ngah Kristo tah angkang.]
21 and they questioned him—What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith—I am not; The prophet, art, thou? and he answered—No!
[Eno bah, an ah o anglu?] Neng ih ngaak chengta. [An Elija tam ah?] “Tah angkang,” Joon ih ngaakbaat rumta. “An Khowah tam anglu?” Neng loong ah ih ngaakcheng rumta. “Tah angkang,” Joon ih ngaakbaat rumta.
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?
“Eno bah an ah o anglu baat he,” neng loong ah ih cheng rumta. “Seng daap kaatte loong asuh an o anglu erah tiit ah ngaakbaat wantheng. An teewah suh an ih tiimjih li hu?]
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.
Khowah Isaia Jengkhaap ah baat ano ngaak jengta; [Phisang hah mong ni riila root ah langla ngah; Teesu lengkhoom suh lamjun in ban tan an!]
24 And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees;
Pharisi nok hah, ih kaat thukta kongphaak kotte, loong ah ih
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?
Joon suh cheng rumta, [An Kristo uh tah angko, Elija uh tah angko adoleh Khowah uh tah angko, eno bah juutem ah mamah ih temhu?]
26 John answered them, saying—I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; —
Joon ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Ngah ih ju nawa ih juutem rumhala, enoothong sengdung ni wasiit chapla ah sen ih tajatkan.
27 after me, coming: —Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.
Erah mih ah nga lih ni ra hala, enoothong ngah bah heh lakhoop adoleh heh lasong khook haattha uh taluikang.]
28 These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
Arah tiit ah Bethani ni Joon ih Jordan ju saadongko ni juutemta erah di roongwaan rumta.
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.
Erah saalih adi Jisu heh taang ni wangha rah Joon ih japtup ano, liita, [Rangte Saapsah ah arah, arah mongrep dowa rangdah saasiitte ah erah wang hala!
30 This, is he, of whom, I, said—After me, cometh a man, who, before me, hath advanced, because, my Chief, was he.
Ngah roongwaan tahang adi arah warah tiit laangbo baat rum taha, ngah ih amah baat rum taha, ‘Nga lidoh mih wasiit raaha, enoothong heh ngah nang ih elong, tiimnge liidi heh ngah maang tupdoh heh eje angta.’
31 And, I, knew him not, but, that he might be manifested unto Israel, therefore, came, I, in water, immersing.
Ngah ih heh o ang ah ngeh ih tah jattang, enoothong, heh ah Ijirel noksong ih toomjat rum ah ngeh ih juutem ra tahang.]
32 And John bare witness, saying—I have gazed upon the Spirit, descending like a dove, out of heaven, —and it abode upon him.
Eno Joon ih heteewah tiitkhaap tiit baat rumta: [Ngah ih Chiiala ah wotuupi likhiik rang nawa ra haano heh sakkhoh ni dangra ha rah tuptang.
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.
Erabah uh ngah ih tajattang heh o angla. Enoothong juutem kaat thuk tahang Rangte ah ih baat tahang, ‘An ih Chiiala ra haano mih wasiit sak nah tong raaha rah japtup uh; Esa Chiiala nawa ih juutemte warah heh ang ah.’
34 I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness—That, this, is, the, Son of God.
Ngah ih tup ehang,” Joon ih liita, [eno ngah ih baat rumhala Rangte Sah ah bah heh ju.]
35 On the morrow, again, was John standing, and, from among his disciples, two;
Erah saalih adi heliphante wanyi damdi Joon we toonchap adi,
36 and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith—See! the Lamb of God!
Jisu lengkhoom ah japtup ano liita. [Rangte Saapsah ah the warah aleh!]
37 and the two disciples hearkened unto him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Heliphante wanyi ah ih Joon jeng ah japchaat nyu ano Jisu damdi roong kanyuuta.
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?
Jisu lekchap ih adi, nengnyi helilih ih kah arah japtup nyu ano cheng nyuuta, [Set ih tiimjih jamsok hansih?] Nengnyi ih ngaakbaat nyuuta, [An mani tonglu Rabbi?] (Rabbi ah Hebrew lam ih [Nyootte[ suh liiha)
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.
[Sok raathaak hansih ba,” heh ih ngaakbaat nyuuta. (Erah tokdi rangsa lup nanah angta.) Erah thoidi heh damdi roong kah nyu ano heh mani songtongta rah japtup kanyuuta eno erah sa adi heh damdi naangjam nyuuta.
40 One of the two that heard from John and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
Erah nyi dowa wasiit ah Simon Pitar no Andriu angta.
41 The same findeth, first, his own brother Simon, and saith unto him—We have found the Messiah! which is, when translated, Anointed.
Erah damdam heh phoh Simon ah japtup ano baatta, [Seknyi Misia chomui li tih.] (Misia ah [Kristo[ suh liiha)
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.
Eno heh ih Simon ah Jisu taang ni siitwanta. Jisu heh taangko sok ano liita, [An Joon sah Simon, enoothong an ah Sephas ngeh ih poonho.] (Erah langla Pitar suh [jong[ ngeh ih liita likhiik)
43 On the morrow, he desired to go forth into Galilee. And Jesus findeth Philip, and saith unto him—Be following me!
Erah saalih adi Jisu Galili ni kaat chungta. Heh ih Philip ah japtup ano baatta, [Nga damdoh roongra ho!] (
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip ah Pitar nyia Andriu tongla hah, Betsaida nawa angta.)
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 ih Nathanel ah japtup ano heh suh baatta, [Hootthe leedap ni Moses nyia khowah loong ih nep raangta ah seng ih japtup ehi. Heh langla Jisu, Najaret hadaang dowa Josep sah ah.]
46 And Nathanael said unto him—Out of Nazareth, can any good thing come? Philip saith unto him—Come, and see!
[Najaret nawa tiim bah uh ese thok nih eha?] Nathanel ih chengta. [Raaho no sok uh,” Philip ih ngaak baatta.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and saith concerning him—See! Truly, an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Jisu ih Nathanel ah heh reeni kaat ah tup ano liita, [Ijirel mina mi abah arah; heh tiim ni uh tathika!]
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.
Nathanel ih heh suh chengta, An ih ngah mamah ih jat halang?] Jisu ih ngaak baatta, [Philip ih maang poon ruudi phuksak bang lathong ni ang uh rah jap tup taha.]
49 Nathanael answered him—Rabbi! thou, art, the Son of God: Thou, art, King, of Israel.
[Nyootte[ Nathanel ih ngaak baatta, [an juuba Rangte Sah! An Ijirel Luuwang!]
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!
Jisu ih chengta, [Phuksak bang lathong ni angtu adi japtup taha ngeh ih li kohaano tam hanpi halang? An ih erah tokkhodoh elong japtup uh!]
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.
Eno neng suh li rumta, [Ngah ih amiisak tiit ah baat rumhala: Rangmong ah laangdaap adoh Rangsah loong ah Mina Sah reenah chookwang datkah ih lengkhoom arah japtup an.
