John 1
1 In the beginnynge was the worde and the worde was with God: and the worde was God.
Ansa na wɔrebɛbɔ ewiase no, na Asɛm no wɔ hɔ dada. Na Asɛm no ne Onyankopɔn na ɛwɔ hɔ. Na Asɛm no yɛ Onyankopɔn.
2 The same was in the beginnynge with God.
Ahyɛaseɛ no, na Asɛm no ne Onyankopɔn na ɛwɔ hɔ.
3 All thinges were made by it and with out it was made nothinge that was made.
Ɛnam ne so na wɔbɔɔ adeɛ nyinaa. Wɔankwati no anyɛ biribiara.
4 In it was lyfe and the lyfe was ye lyght of men
Ne mu na nkwa wɔ; na saa nkwa no na ɛma nnipa hann.
5 and the lyght shyneth in the darcknes but the darcknes comprehended it not.
Hann no hyerɛn wɔ esum mu a esum no ntumi nni hann no so.
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was Iohn.
Onyankopɔn somaa ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yohane.
7 The same cam as a witnes to beare witnes of the lyght that all men through him myght beleve.
Ɔbɛdii hann no ho adanseɛ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma nnipa afa ne so agye hann no adi.
8 He was not that lyght: but to beare witnes of the lyght.
Ɛnyɛ ɔno ankasa ne hann no, na mmom, ɔbaa sɛ ɔrebɛdi hann no ho adanseɛ.
9 That was a true lyght which lyghteth all men that come into the worlde.
Saa hann yi ne nokorɛ hann a ɛba ewiase ma ɛhyerɛn nnipa nyinaa so no.
10 He was in ye worlde and the worlde was made by him: and yet the worlde knewe him not.
Saa ɛberɛ no, na Asɛm no wɔ ewiase. Ɛwom sɛ Onyankopɔn nam ne so na ɔbɔɔ ewiase deɛ, nanso ɔbaa ewiase no, ewiase anhunu no.
11 He cam amonge his (awne) and his awne receaved him not.
Ɔbaa nʼankasa ne ɔman mu, nanso ne manfoɔ annye no anto mu.
12 But as meny as receaved him to them he gave power to be the sonnes of God in yt they beleved on his name:
Na wɔn a wɔgyee no, na wɔgyee ne din diiɛ no, ɔmaa wɔn tumi ma wɔbɛyɛɛ Onyankopɔn mma
13 which were borne not of bloude nor of the will of the flesshe nor yet of the will of man: but of God.
wɔ honhom fam, a ɛmfiri onipa anaa ɔhonam fam, na mmom ɛfiri Onyankopɔn ankasa.
14 And the worde was made flesshe and dwelt amonge vs and we sawe the glory of it as the glory of the only begotten sonne of ye father which worde was full of grace and verite.
Asɛm no bɛyɛɛ onipa ne yɛn bɛtenaeɛ ma yɛhunuu nʼanimuonyam sɛ ɔba korɔ a ɔfiri Agya no nkyɛn a adom ne nokorɛ ahyɛ no ma.
15 Iohn bare witnes of him and cryed sayinge: This was he of whome I spake he that cometh after me was before me because he was yer then I.
Yohane kaa ne ho asɛm sɛ, “Yei ne deɛ mekaa ne ho asɛm sɛ, ‘Deɛ ɔdi mʼakyi reba no yɛ kɛse sene me, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔwɔ hɔ ansa na wɔwoo me no.’”
16 And of his fulnes have all we receaved even (grace) for grace.
Ɔfiri ne mmɔborɔhunu a ɛtoɔ ntwa da no mu hyira yɛn nyinaa daa daa.
17 For the lawe was geven by Moses but grace and truthe came by Iesus Christ.
Onyankopɔn nam Mose so de mmara maa yɛn, nanso ɛnam Yesu so na yɛnyaa adom ne nokorɛ.
18 No ma hath sene God at eny tyme. The only begotte sonne which is in ye bosome of ye father he hath declared him.
Obiara nhunuu Onyankopɔn da, gye ne Ba korɔ no a ɔno nso yɛ Onyankopɔn no, deɛ ɔwɔ Agya no nkyɛn na wada no adi no.
19 And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent Prestes and Levites from Ierusalem to axe him what arte thou?
Yudafoɔ mpanin a wɔwɔ Yerusalem somaa asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ kɔɔ Yohane nkyɛn kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Wone Agyenkwa no anaa?”
20 And he confessed and denyed not and sayde playnly: I am not Christ.
Yohane antwentwɛn asɛm no mmuaeɛ so. Ɔpaee mu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn prɛko pɛ sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ mene Agyenkwa no.”
21 And they axed him: what then? arte thou Helyas? And he sayde: I am not. Arte thou a Prophete? And he answered no.
Wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ, na wone hwan, Elia anaa?” Ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Dabi.” Wɔbisaa no bio sɛ, “Wone Odiyifoɔ no?” Ɔsane buaa wɔn sɛ, “Dabi”.
22 Then sayd they vnto him: what arte thou that we maye geve an answer to them that sent vs: What sayest thou of thy selfe?
Wɔsane bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ, na wone hwan? Ka kyerɛ yɛn na yɛnkɔbɔ wɔn a wɔsomaa yɛn no amaneɛ. Asɛm bɛn na wowɔ ka fa wo ho?”
23 He sayde: I am the voyce of a cryar in the wyldernes make strayght the waye of the Lorde as sayde the Prophete Esaias.
Yohane buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mene nne a ɛfiri ɛserɛ so a ɛreteam, sɛdeɛ Odiyifoɔ Yesaia hyɛɛ nkɔm sɛ, ‘Monsiesie mo ho mma Awurade ba a ɔbɛba no no.’”
24 And they which were sent were of the pharises.
Afei, wɔn a Farisifoɔ no somaa wɔn no bisaa Yohane bio sɛ,
25 And they axed him and sayde vnto him: why baptisest thou then yf thou be not Christ nor Helyas nether a Prophet?
“Sɛ ɛnyɛ wone Agyenkwa no anaa Elia anaa Odiyifoɔ no a, adɛn enti na wobɔ asu?”
26 Iohn answered them sayinge: I baptise with water: but one is come amonge you whom ye knowe not
Yohane nso buaa sɛ, “Me deɛ, nsuo na mede bɔ asu, nanso obi wɔ mo mfimfini ha a monnim no,
27 he it is that cometh after me whiche was before me whose sho latchet I am not worthy to vnlose.
a ne mpaboa mpo memfata sɛ meworɔ; ɔno na ɔbɛdi mʼakyi aba.”
28 These thinges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordan where Iohn dyd baptyse.
Saa asɛm yi sii Betania a ɛwɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya, faako a na Yohane rebɔ asu no.
29 The nexte daye Iohn sawe Iesus commyge vnto him and sayde: beholde the lambe of God which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ a Yohane hunuu Yesu sɛ ɔreba ne nkyɛn no, ɔteaam kaa sɛ, “hwɛ, Onyankopɔn Dwammaa a ɔyi ewiase bɔne korɔ no!
30 This is he of whom I sayde. After me cometh a man which was before me for he was yer then I
Yei ne deɛ mekaa ne ho asɛm sɛ, ‘Deɛ ɔdi mʼakyi reba no yɛ kɛse sene me, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔwɔ hɔ ansa na mereba.’
31 and I knew him not: but that he shuld be declared to Israell therfore am I come baptisynge with water.
Me deɛ, na mennim no, nanso mede nsuo bɛbɔɔ asu, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ na mɛda no adi akyerɛ Israel.”
32 And Iohn bare recorde sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heven lyke vnto a dove and abyde apon him
Na Yohane dii adanseɛ sɛ, “Mehunuu Honhom no sɛ asiane aba ne so sɛ aborɔnoma a ɔresiane firi soro.
33 and I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptise in water the same sayde vnto me: apon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him the same is he which baptiseth with the holy goost.
Na anka mennim no, nanso ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn somaa me sɛ memfa nsuo mmɔ asu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Onipa a wobɛhunu sɛ Honhom no bɛsiane aba ne so no, ɔno ne deɛ worehwɛ nʼanim no. Ɔno na ɔde Honhom Kronkron bɛbɔ asu.’
34 And I sawe and bare recorde that this is the sonne of God.
Mahunu yeinom nyinaa sɛ aba mu na medi ho adanseɛ sɛ yei ne Onyankopɔn Ba no.”
35 The next daye after Iohn stode agayne and two of his disciples.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ a Yohane ne nʼasuafoɔ no mu baanu gyina baabi no, wɔhunuu sɛ Yesu retwam.
36 And he behelde Iesus as he walked by and sayde: beholde the lambe of God.
Yohane hwɛɛ no, kaa sɛ, “Yei ne Onyankopɔn Dwammaa no!”
37 And the two disciples hearde him speake and folowed Iesus.
Asuafoɔ baanu no tee deɛ ɔkaeɛ no, wɔkɔdii Yesu akyi.
38 And Iesus turned about and sawe them folowe and sayde vnto them: what seke ye? They sayde vnto him: Rabbi (which is to saye by interpretacion Master) where dwellest thou?
Yesu twaa nʼani hunu sɛ wɔdi nʼakyi no, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na morehwehwɛ?” Wɔn nso bisaa no sɛ, “Rabi” (a ne nkyerɛaseɛ ne Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ), “ɛhe na wote?”
39 He sayde vnto them: come and se. They came and sawe where he dwelt: and abode with him that daye. For it was about the tenthe houre.
Ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Mommra mmɛhwɛ.” Enti, wɔne no kɔ kɔhwɛɛ faako a ɔte no ne no tenaa hɔ firi awia nnɔnnan kɔsii anwummerɛ.
40 One of the two which hearde Iohn speake and folowed Iesus was Andrew Simon Peters brother.
Nnipa baanu a wɔtee Yohane asɛm no enti ɛmaa wɔkɔdii Yesu akyi no mu baako ne Simon Petro nua Andrea.
41 The same founde his brother Simon fyrst and sayde vnto him: we have founde Messias which is by interpretacion annoynted:
Adeɛ a ɛdi ɛkan a Andrea yɛeɛ ne sɛ, ɔkɔhwehwɛɛ ne nua Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛahunu Mesia no.”
42 and brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him and sayde: thou arte Simon the sonne of Ionas thou shalt be called Cephas: which is by interpretacion a stone.
Ɔde Petro kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn. Yesu hwɛɛ Petro dinn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wone Simon, Yohane ba no. Nanso, ɛfiri ɛnnɛ rekɔ wɔbɛfrɛ wo Kefa.” Ɛno ara ne Petro a nʼasekyerɛ ne Ɔbotan no.
43 The daye folowynge Iesus wolde goo into Galile and founde Philip and sayde vnto him folowe me.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Yesu yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Galilea. Ɔhunuu Filipo ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Di mʼakyi.”
44 Philip was of Bethsaida the cite of Andrew and Peter.
Filipo nso na ɔfiri Betsaida a ɛhɔ na Petro ne Andrea nso firi.
45 And Philip founde Nathanael and sayde vnto him. We have founde him of whom Moses in the lawe and the prophetes dyd wryte. Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth.
Filipo firi hɔ kɔɔ Natanael nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛahunu Agyenkwa no a Mose ne adiyifoɔ no hyɛɛ ne ho nkɔm no no. Wɔfrɛ no Yesu. Ɔyɛ Yosef a ɔfiri Nasaret no ba.”
46 And Nathanael sayde vnto him: can ther eny good thinge come out of Nazareth? Philip sayde to him: come and se.
Natanael bisaa Filipo sɛ, “Ade pa bi bɛtumi afiri Nasaret aba?” Filipo nso ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Bra na bɛhwɛ.”
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael commynge to him and sayde of him. Beholde a ryght Israelite in who is no gyle.
Ɛberɛ a Yesu hunuu Natanael sɛ ɔreba no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Israelni nokwafoɔ ni ampa.”
48 Nathanael sayd vnto him: where knewest thou me? Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Before that Philip called the when thou wast vnder ye fygge tree I sawe the.
Natanael bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Woyɛɛ dɛn hunuu sɛdeɛ meteɛ?” Yesu nso buaa no sɛ, “Ɛberɛ a wowɔ borɔdɔma dua no ase hɔ no na mehunuu wo ansa na Filipo rebɛfrɛ wo.”
49 Nathanael answered and sayde vnto him: Rabbi thou arte the sonne of God thou arte the kynge of Israel.
Natanael kaa sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, wone Onyankopɔn Ba, Israelhene no!”
50 Iesus answered and sayd vnto him: Because I sayde vnto the I sawe the vnder the fygge tree thou belevest. Thou shalt se greater thinges then these.
Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Esiane sɛ meka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ mehunuu wo wɔ borɔdɔma dua no ase enti na wogye di anaa? Wobɛhunu nneɛma akɛseɛ a ɛsene yeinom.
51 And he sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto you: herafter shall ye se heven open and the angels of God ascendynge and descendynge over the sonne of man.
Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, mobɛhunu sɛ ɔsoro abue na Onyankopɔn abɔfoɔ redi aforosiane Onipa Ba no soɔ.”
