John 1
1 IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word himself was with Aloha, and Aloha was the Word himself.
Pakutanga pakanga pane Shoko, uye Shoko rakanga riri kuna Mwari, uye Shoko rakanga riri Mwari.
2 This was in the beginning with Aloha.
Iye aiva kuna Mwari kubva pakutanga.
3 Every thing by his hand was made; and without him also was not one thing made that was made.
Zvinhu zvose zvakaitwa kubudikidza naye; kunze kwake hakuna kana chinhu chakaitwa pane izvo zvakaitwa.
4 In him was life, and the life is the light of the sons of man;
Maari maiva noupenyu, uye upenyu ihwohwo hwaiva chiedza chavanhu.
5 and the Light himself in the darkness shineth, and the darkness perceived him not.
Chiedza chinovhenekera murima, asi rima harina kuchikunda.
6 There was a man who was sent from Aloha, his name (was) Juchanon.
Pakanga pano murume akatumwa achibva kuna Mwari; zita rake rainzi Johani.
7 He came for the testimony, to testify concerning the Light, that all men might believe through his ministry.
Iye akauya sechapupu kuzopupurira chiedza chiya, kuitira kuti vanhu vatende kubudikidza naye.
8 He was not the Light himself, but came to testify concerning the Light.
Akanga asiri iye chiedza pachake; akauya chete ari sechapupu kuchiedza.
9 For that was the true Light that enlighteneth every man who cometh into the world.
Chiedza chezvokwadi chinovhenekera vanhu vose chainge chichizouya munyika.
10 In the world was he, and the world by his hand had been made, and the world knew him not.
Akanga ari munyika, uye kunyange nyika yakaitwa kubudikidza naye, nyika haina kumuziva.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Akauya kuna avo vakanga vari vake, asi vokwake havana kumugamuchira.
12 But they who received him, he gave to them power, that the sons of Aloha they should become, to those who believe in his name.
Asi kuna vose vakamugamuchira, kuna avo vakatenda muzita rake, akavapa simba rokuti vave vana vaMwari,
13 These, not from blood, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from Aloha, are born.
vana vasina kuberekwa neropa kana nokufunga kwomunhu kana nokuda kwomurume, asi vakaberekwa naMwari.
14 And the Word flesh was made, and tabernacled with us; and we saw his glory, the glory as of the one-begotten who (was) from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Shoko rakava nyama uye rakagara pakati pedu. Takaona kubwinya kwake, kubwinya kwaIye Mumwe Oga, akabva kuna Baba, azere nenyasha uye nechokwadi.
15 Juchanon testified concerning him, and cried, and said, This is he of whom I said, that he cometh after me, and was before me, because he is anterior to me.
Johani anopupura nezvake. Anodanidzira achiti, “Uyu ndiye uya wandakati, ‘Anouya mumashure mangu anondipfuura ini nokuti akanditangira.’”
16 And from his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
Kubva pakuzara kwake takagamuchira nyasha pamusoro penyasha.
17 For the law by the hand of Musha was given; but the truth and the grace were by Jeshu Meshicha.
Nokuti murayiro wakapiwa kubudikidza naMozisi; nyasha nezvokwadi zvakauya kubudikidza naJesu Kristu.
18 ALOHA no man hath ever seen: the one-begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.
Hakuna akamboona Mwari, asi Mwanakomana Iye Mumwe Oga, ari pachipfuva chaBaba, akaita kuti azivikanwe.
19 And this was the testimony of Juchanon, when the Jihudoyee sent to him from Urishlem priests and Levoyee to demand of him, Who art thou?
Zvino uku ndiko kwaiva kupupura kwaJohani vaJudha veJerusarema pavakatuma vaprista navaRevhi kuti vanomubvunza kuti iye aimbova ani.
20 And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Meshicha.
Haana kurega kupupura, asi akanyatsopupura pachena achiti, “Handisini Kristu.”
21 And they asked him again, What then? art thou Elia? And he said, I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he said, No.
Vakamubvunza vakati, “Zvino ndiwe aniko? Ndiwe Eria here?” Iye akati, “Handizi iye.” “Uri muprofita here?” Akapindura akati, “Kwete.”
22 And they said to him, And who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
Pakupedzisira vakati, “Ndiwe aniko? Tipindure tigondotaurira vatituma. Unozviti aniko?”
23 He saith, I am the voice which crieth in the wilderness, Make plain the way of the Lord, as said Eshaia the prophet.
Johani akapindura namashoko omuprofita Isaya achiti, “Ndini inzwi reanodana murenje, richiti, ‘Ruramisai nzira yaShe.’”
24 But they who were sent were from the Pharishee.
Zvino vamwe vaFarisi vakanga vatumwa
25 And they demanded and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Meshicha, nor Elia, nor the Prophet?
vakamubvunza vachiti, “Seiko zvino uchibhabhatidza kana usiri Kristu, kana Eria kana Muprofita?”
26 Juchanon answered and said to them, I baptize you with waters; but he standeth among you whom you know not:
Johani akapindura akati, “Ini ndinobhabhatidza nemvura, asi pakati penyu pamire mumwe wamusingazivi.
27 he it is who cometh after me, and he was before me; he, the latchets of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose.
Ndiye anouya shure kwangu, handikodzeri kusunungura rukanda rweshangu dzake.”
28 These things were done in Bethania, at the passage of the Jurdan, where Juchanon was baptizing.
Izvi zvose zvakaitika paBhetani mhiri kwaJorodhani, uko kwaibhabhatidzira Johani.
29 AND the day after, Juchanon seeth Jeshu, who was coming to him; and he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha, who beareth the sin of the world!
Chifume chamangwana Johani akaona Jesu achiuya kwaari akati, “Tarirai, Gwayana raMwari, rinobvisa chivi chenyika!
30 This is he concerning whom I said, After me cometh a man, and he was before me, because he is anterior to me.
Ndiye wandaireva pandakati, ‘Murume anouya shure kwangu akandipfuura nokuti akanditangira.’
31 And I knew him not, but that he should be made known unto Isroel, therefore have I come with waters to baptize.
Ini pachangu ndakanga ndisingamuzivi, asi zvandakauyira ndichibhabhatidza nemvura ndezvokuti iye aratidzwe kuIsraeri.”
32 And Juchanon testified and said, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven as a dove, and it remained upon him.
Ipapo Johani akapupura uchapupu uhu achiti, “Ndakaona mweya achiburuka kubva kudenga akaita senjiva akamhara pamusoro pake.
33 And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me, He upon whom thou seest the Spirit descend and remain, this baptizeth with the Spirit of Holiness:
Ndingadai ndisina kumuziva, asi uya akandituma kuti ndizobhabhatidza nemvura ndiye akandiudza achiti, ‘Murume uyo waunoona Mweya achiburuka achigara paari, ndiye achazovabhabhatidza noMweya Mutsvene.’
34 and I saw, and bare witness that this is the Son of Aloha
Ndazviona uye ndinopupura kuti uyu ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.”
35 And the day after Juchanon stood, and two of his disciples;
Chifume chamangwana Johani akanga aripozve navadzidzi vake vaviri.
36 and, contemplating Jeshu as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha!
Akati achiona Jesu achipfuura akati, “Tarirai, Gwayana raMwari!”
37 And his two disciples heard him as he spake, and they went after Jeshu.
Vadzidzi vaviri vakati vachimunzwa achitaura izvi, vakatevera Jesu.
38 And Jeshu turned (himself), and saw them coming after him, and said to them, Whom seek you? They say to him, Raban, where dwellest thou?
Jesu akatendeuka akavaona vachitevera akavabvunza akati, “Munodeiko?” Ivo vakati, “‘Rabhi’ (ndiko kuti Mudzidzisi), munogarepiko?”
39 He saith to them, Come and see. And they went and saw where he dwelt; and they were with him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.
Akapindura akati, “Uyai muzokuona.” Saka vakaenda vakandoona paaigara, vakaswera naye kwezuva rimwe chete. Yakanga iri nguva inenge yegumi.
40 Now one of those who heard Juchanon and went after Jeshu, was Andreas, the brother of Shemun.
Andirea mununʼuna waPetro, ndiye mumwe wavaviri vakanga vanzwa zvakanga zvarehwa naJohani uye vakanga vatevera Jesu.
41 This saw first Shemun his brother, and said to him, We have found the Meshicha;
Chinhu chokutanga chakaitwa naAndirea ndechokuti akatsvaka Simoni mukoma wake akati kwaari, “Tamuwana Mesiya” (ndiko kuti Kristu).
42 and he brought him to Jeshu. And Jeshu saw him, and said, Thou art Shemun bar Jona; thou shalt be called Kipha.
Uye akauya naye kuna Jesu. Jesu akatarisa kwaari akati, “Ndiwe Simoni mwanakomana waJohani. Iwe uchanzi Kefasi” (ndiko kuti, kana zvichishandurwa, Petro).
43 AND the day following Jeshu willed to go forth into Galila. And he found Philipos, and said to him, Come after me.
Zuva rakatevera Jesu akafunga zvokuenda kuGarirea. Akati awana Firipi akati kwaari, “Nditevere.”
44 Now Philipos was from Beth-tsaida, from the city of Andreas and of Shemun.
Firipi, aibvawo kuguta reBhetisaidha saAndirea naPetro,
45 Philipos found Nathanael, and said to him, Him of whom Musha in the law, and the prophets, did write we have found, (and) that Jeshu (is) he, the son of Jauseph who is from Natsrath.
Firipi akawana Natanieri akati kwaari, “Tamuwana uya akanyorwa nezvake naMozisi muMurayiro, uyewo akanyorwa nezvake navaprofita, Jesu weNazareta, mwanakomana waJosefa.”
46 Saith to him Nathanael, From Natsrath can any good thing be? Philipos saith to him, Come and see.
Natanieri akati, “Nazareta! Pane chinhu chakanaka chingabva kuNazareta here?” Firipi akati, “Uya uone.”
47 And Jeshu saw Nathanael as he was coming to him, and said of him, Behold truly a son of Isroel who hath no guile in him.
Jesu akati achiona Natanieri achiuya, akati kwaari, “Houno muIsraeri wechokwadi, asina kunyengera maari.”
48 Nathanael saith to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jeshu saith to him, While yet Philipos had not called thee, while thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
Natanieri akamubvunza akati, “Mandiziva seiko?” Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndakuona pawanga uri pasi pomuonde Firipi asati akudana.”
49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabi, thou art the Son of Aloha himself, thou art the very King of Isroel.
Ipapo Natanieri akati, “Rabhi, ndimi Mwanakomana waMwari; ndimi Mambo weIsraeri.”
50 Jeshu saith to him, Upon my telling thee that I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Greater things than these thou shalt see.
Jesu akati, “Unotenda nokuti ndakuudza kuti ndakuona uri pasi pomuonde. Uchaona zvinhu zvikuru kupinda izvozvo.”
51 He saith to him, Amen, amen, I say to you, Hereafter you shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of Aloha ascending and descending unto the Son of man.
Ipapo akatizve, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, muchaona denga richizaruka, uye vatumwa vaMwari vachikwira nokuburuka pamusoro poMwanakomana woMunhu.”
