John 1
1 IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word himself was with Aloha, and Aloha was the Word himself.
Penapo pakutumbula, kwakona vindu vyoha viwumbiki lepi avili mmonga mweakemeliwi Lilovi. Lilovi avili na Chapanga. Mwene avili Chapanga.
2 This was in the beginning with Aloha.
Kuhuma kutumbula avili pamonga na Chapanga.
3 Every thing by his hand was made; and without him also was not one thing made that was made.
Kupitila mwene, Chapanga awumbili vindu vyoha, kawaka chindu hati chimonga chechawumbiki changali mwene.
4 In him was life, and the life is the light of the sons of man;
Mwene ndi chinyepa cha wumi na wumi wene uletili lumuli kwa vandu.
5 and the Light himself in the darkness shineth, and the darkness perceived him not.
Lumuli lwenulo lulangasa kuchitita, na chene chitita chihotola lepi kulujimisa.
6 There was a man who was sent from Aloha, his name (was) Juchanon.
Chapanga amtumili mundu mmonga liina laki Yohani,
7 He came for the testimony, to testify concerning the Light, that all men might believe through his ministry.
mwene abweli kuvajovela vandu kuluvala lumuli lwenulo. Abweli muni vandu voha vayuwana na kusadika ujumbi waki.
8 He was not the Light himself, but came to testify concerning the Light.
Yohani mwene avi lepi lumuli lwenulo, nambu abweli kuvajovela vandu kuluvala lumuli lwenulo.
9 For that was the true Light that enlighteneth every man who cometh into the world.
Lwenulo ndi lumuli lwa chakaka, lumuli lwelubwela pamulima na kuvalangasila vandu voha.
10 In the world was he, and the world by his hand had been made, and the world knew him not.
Hinu, lilovi lila avili pamulima na kupitila mwene Chapanga awumbili mulima, nambu vandu va pamulima wammanyili lepi.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Abwelili pavandu vaki mwene, nambu vandu vaki vampokili lepi.
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.
Nambu vandu vevampokili, na kumsadika, avapeli uhotola wa kuvya vana va Chapanga.
13 These, not from blood, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from Aloha, are born.
Vavi vana va Chapanga lepi kwa kuvelekewa ngati vandu chevivelekewa. Amala vavelikwi lepi ngati vandu chevigana, nambu kwa maganu ga Chapanga mwene.
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.
Lilovi lila akavya mundu, akatama kwitu. Ndi tiuwene ukulu waki, ukulu waki mwene nga Mwana wa Dadi Chapanga, amemili ubwina wa Chapanga na uchakaka.
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.
Yohani avajovili vandu malovi gaki. Akajova kwa lwami, “Mwenuyu ndi yula mwenamuluwili penajovili, ‘Ibwela mundu mweigelekela pahali pangu mkulu kuliku nene, muni amali kuvya kwakona nene kuvelekewa.’”
16 And from his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
Ndava cheavili ubwina waki wamahele tete tavoha tipokili mota yamahele.
17 For the law by the hand of Musha was given; but the truth and the grace were by Jeshu Meshicha.
Chapanga atipeli malagizu kupitila Musa, nambu ubwina wa Chapanga na chakaka utibwelili kupitila Yesu Kilisitu.
18 ALOHA no man hath ever seen: the one-begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.
Kawaka mundu mweamuwene Chapanga katu. Nambu nga Mwana waki yuyo mweavi Chapanga na mweaganiwi na Dadi, mwene atimanyisi mambu gaki.
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?
Genaga ndi malovi Yohani geajovili ndava yaki lukumbi vachilongosi va Vayawudi ku Yelusalemu pevavatumili vamteta va Chapanga na Valawi vamkotayi, “Veve wayani?”
20 And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Meshicha.
Yohani abelili lepi kuyangula likotesi lenilo, nambu akajova hotohoto, “Nene lepi Kilisitu Msangula.”
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.
Kangi vakamkota, “Hinu veve ndi wayani? Wu, veve ndi Eliya?” Yohani akayangula, “Lepi.” Vakamkota kangi, “Veve ndi yula mlota wa Chapanga?” Akavayangula, “Lepi!”
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?
Kangi vakamkota, “Hinu wayani veve? Wijova wuli kukuvala wamwene? Utijovelayi na tete tikavayangula vevatitumili.”
23 He saith, I am the voice which crieth in the wilderness, Make plain the way of the Lord, as said Eshaia the prophet.
Yohani akayangula, nene ndi yula mlota Isaya ajovili malovi gaki, “Nene ndi lwami lwa mundu ikemela kulugangatu. ‘Mgolosayi njila ya Bambu.’”
24 But they who were sent were from the Pharishee.
Vandu avo vatumwili na Vafalisayu,
25 And they demanded and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Meshicha, nor Elia, nor the Prophet?
vakamkota Yohani, “Ngati veve lepi Kilisitu Msangula mweahaguliwi na Chapanga, amala Eliya, amala mlota wa Chapanga, ndava kyani wibatiza?”
26 Juchanon answered and said to them, I baptize you with waters; but he standeth among you whom you know not:
Yohani akavayangula, “Nene nibatiza kwa manji, nambu avi mmonga pagati yinu, mwakona kummanya.
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.
Mweibwela pahali pangu, ndi nene niganikiwa lepi hati kuwopola nyosi za champali zaki.”
28 These things were done in Bethania, at the passage of the Jurdan, where Juchanon was baptizing.
Mambu genago gakitiki kumuji wa Betania, kumwambu ya mfuleni Yoludani, Yohani kweavi mukubatiza.
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!
Chilau yaki, Yohani amuwene Yesu akumbwelela akajova, “Lola, mwenuyu ndi Mwana limbelele wa Chapanga, ndi mweiwusa kumbudila Chapanga pamulima!
30 This is he concerning whom I said, After me cometh a man, and he was before me, because he is anterior to me.
Ndi mwenamlongalili yula penajovili, ‘Pahali pa nene ibwela mundu mkulu kuliku nene, mwene avili kwakona nene kuvelekewa!’
31 And I knew him not, but that he should be made known unto Isroel, therefore have I come with waters to baptize.
Hati namwene nangammanya, nambu nibweli kubatiza na manji muni vandu va Isilaeli vammanyayi.”
32 And Juchanon testified and said, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven as a dove, and it remained upon him.
Kangi Yohani atijovili gala geagawene, “Namuwene Mpungu Msopi akumuhelelela ngati ngunda kuhuma kunani na kutula panani yaki.
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:
Nene nangammanya, nambu yula mweanitumili kubatiza vandu na manji amali kunijovela, ‘Mundu mweakumlola Mpungu Msopi akumuhelelela kuhuma kunani na kutama panani yaki, ndi mweibatiza na Mpungu Msopi.’
34 and I saw, and bare witness that this is the Son of Aloha
Kangi Yohani akajova nene nigalolili mambu aga na nikuvajovela uchakaka kuvya mwenuyu ndi Mwana waki Chapanga.”
35 And the day after Juchanon stood, and two of his disciples;
Kangi chilau yaki, Yohani avili pandu penapo, pamonga na vawuliwa vaki vavili.
36 and, contemplating Jeshu as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha!
Peamuwene Yesu ipita akajova, “Lola! Uyu ndi Mwana Limbelele wa Chapanga.”
37 And his two disciples heard him as he spake, and they went after Jeshu.
Vawuliwa vavili vala pevayuwini malovi geajovayi Yohani gala vakamlanda Yesu.
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?
Yesu ang'anamwiki, avawene vawuliwa vala vakumlanda, akavakota, “Mwilonda kyani?” Vakamkota, “Labi witama koki?” Labi mana yaki Muwula.
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.
Yesu akavajovela, “Mbwela, na nyenye yati mwilola,” Vawuliwa vala vakamlanda yavili lukumbi lwa saa kumi ya kimihi na vakatama kwaki ligono lenilo.
40 Now one of those who heard Juchanon and went after Jeshu, was Andreas, the brother of Shemun.
Andelea, mlongo waki Simoni Petili avi mmonga pagati ya vavili avo vevamyuwini Yohani geajovili, vakamlanda Yesu.
41 This saw first Shemun his brother, and said to him, We have found the Meshicha;
Andelea akatumbula kumlonda Simoni mlongo waki, akamjovela “Timuwene Msangula.” Ndi kujova “Kilisitu.”
42 and he brought him to Jeshu. And Jeshu saw him, and said, Thou art Shemun bar Jona; thou shalt be called Kipha.
Kangi ampeliki Simoni kwa Yesu. Ndi Yesu akamlolokesa Simoni akajova, “Simoni veve mwana wa Yohani. Hinu yati ukemelewa Kefa,” Kwa Chigiliki ndi Petili, mana yaki “Litalau.”
43 AND the day following Jeshu willed to go forth into Galila. And he found Philipos, and said to him, Come after me.
Chilau yaki Yesu akawuka, kuhamba kumulima wa Galilaya ndi amkolili Filipi, akamjovela “Nilandayi.”
44 Now Philipos was from Beth-tsaida, from the city of Andreas and of Shemun.
Filipi mkolonjinji wa ku Betisaida, muji wevitama Andelea na Petili.
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.
Filipi amkoli Natanyeli, akamjovela, “Timuwene mwene, mweayandikiwi na Musa muchitabu cha malagizu, na vamlota va Chapanga vayandiki mambu gaki, Yesu wa kuhuma kumuji wa Nazaleti mwana wa Yosefu.”
46 Saith to him Nathanael, From Natsrath can any good thing be? Philipos saith to him, Come and see.
Natanyeli akamkota Filipi, “Chindu cha bwina chihotola wuli kuhumila ku Nazaleti?” Mwene akamjovela, “Bwelayi ulole.”
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.
Yesu peamuwene Natanyeli akumbwelela, akajova, “Lola! Chakaka mwenuyu ndi Mwiisilaeli chakaka, kawaka udese mugati yaki hati padebe.”
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.
Natanyeli akamkota Yesu, “Unimanyi wuli?” “Mwene akamyangula, kwakona Filipi angakukemela nakuwene pewavi pahi pa mkongo wa mkuyu.”
49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabi, thou art the Son of Aloha himself, thou art the very King of Isroel.
Penapo Natanyeli akamjovela, “Muwula,” Veve ndi Mwana wa Chapanga! “Veve ndi Nkosi wa Isilaeli!”
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.
Yesu akamjovela usadika ndava nikujovili nakuwene pahi ya mkongo wa mkuyu? Yati ukugawona gavaha neju ya aga.
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.
Ndi akayonjokesa kujova, “Chakaka nikuvajovela, yati mwilola kunani kwa Chapanga kudinduka na vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga vikwela na kuhelela panani pa Mwana wa Mundu.”
