John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Ung'wandyo ai lukoli lukani, nu lukani ai latulaa palung'wi ni Itunda, nu lukani ai latulaa Itunda.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Uyu, u lukani, Ung'wandyo ai watulaa palung'wi ni Itunda.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
I intu yihi ai itumilwe ku ng'wenso, ni anga ihite kutula ng'wenso kutili ga ni kintu king'wi nai katulaa kitumilwe.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Mukati akwe ai ukoli u upanga, nu uwo upanga ai watulaa welu nu a ana adamu ihi.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Welu welyaa mu kiti, ang'wi i kiti shanga ukaulimisa.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Ai ukoli u muntu nai ulagiigwe kupuma kung'wa Itunda, niiza ilina ni lakwe ai watulaa Yohana.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
Ai wazile anga mukuiili kukiila kutula uwo u welu, iti kina ihi ahume kuhuiila kukiila ng'wenso.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
U Yohona shanga ai uwo u welu, ila ai uzile iti wakuiile kutula uwo u welu.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Iyo ai ayulaa welu nua tai naza utuile uzile mu ihi ni nyenso wimuikila welu kila u ng'wi.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Ai watulaa mihi, ni ihi ai iumbilwe kukiila ng'wenso, ni ihi shanga ai limumanyile.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
Ai uzile ku intu ni akwe, ni antu ni akwe shanga ikamusingiilya.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Ila ku awo ni idu nai amusingiiye, naza alihuiie i lina ni lakwe, ku awo ai uikiiye tai ane ni akutula ana ang'wi Itunda.
13 Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Naza aleilwe shanga ku sakami, ang'wi ku ulowa nua muili, ang'wi ku ulowa nua muntu, ila kung'wi Itunda mukola.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, ( and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
Nu ng'wenso u lukani ai wizipiilye muili hangi akikie mukati itu, ka wihengilee ikulyo ni lakwe, ikulyo anga ni la muntu nu ing'wene nua kinyena nai uzile kupuma kung'wa Tata, wizue ukende nua tai.
15 John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
U Yohana ai ukuiie kutula ung'wenso, nu kitunta ku luli azeligitya, “Uyu yuyoo niza niligitya i nkani niakwe nizeligitya, “Uyo nuzile ze yakilaa unene inge Mukulu kukila unene, kunsoko iiza ukoli ze ikili unene”.
16 And of his fulness have we all received, and grace for grace.
Kunsoko kupuma mu ukondaniili nu akwe, usese kihi kusingiiye nankanda u uhumi ze yakilaa nia uhumi.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Kunsoko ilagiilyo ai liletilwe kukiila Musa, u ukende ni tai ai izile kukiila Yesu Kristo.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Kutili u ng'wana adamu nai umihengile Itunda matungo ihi, muntu wing'wene niiza inge Itunda, nuili mu kikua kang'wa Tata, umizipilye ung'wenso wamanyike.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
Nu uwu wuwu ukuiili nuang'wa Yohana matungo i Akuhani ni Alawi nai alagiigwe kitalakwe ni Ayahudi kumukolya “uewe inge nyenyu?”.
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
Bila kisinsila hangi shanga ai uhitile, ila ai usukiiye, “Unene shanga Kristo”.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
Uu gwa akamokolya, “ku lulo uewe inge nyenyu itungili?” Uewe inge Eliya? Akaligitya, “Unene shanga” Akaligitya, uewe inge munyakidagu? Akasukiila “A aa”.
22 Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
Uu gwa akamuila, “uewe inge nyenyu iti kina kuinkiilye isusho naza akulaagiye? Ukikuiila uli uewe mukola?”
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
Akaligitya, “Unene inge luli nu lakwe nui lilaa muwii, “Migooli i nzila a mukulu! anga munyakidagu Isaya nai uligitilye.”
24 And they who were sent were of the Pharisees.
Uu gwa ai akoli ni antu alagiigwe kupuma pang'wanso kupuma ku Afalisayo. Akamukolya nu kuligitya,
25 And they asked him, and said to him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou art not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?
: ku niki ukoja gwa angize uewe shanga wi Kilisto ang'wi Eliya ang'wi munyakidagu?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
uYohana ai uasukiiye azeligitya: Nukoja ku mazi, Ga ni iti, mukati anyu wimikile muntu ni shanga mumulingile.
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to loose.
Uyu yuyo nupembilye ze yakilaa unene, Unene ni mugila uhumi nuakutolya i mikoha a ilatu niakwe,
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Makani aya ai atulikile uko ku Bethania, itumbi nila Yordani, kianza naiza uYohani ukoli ukoja.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.
Luhiku nai lutyatile uYohana akamihenga uYesu upembilye kung'waakwe akaligitya, Goza ung'waa nkolo wang'wa Itunda nuiuhola umulandu nua unkumbigulu!
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is preferred before me: for he was before me.
uyu yuyo naindigitilye inkani niakwe nizeligitya, Nuanso nupembilye kituli kane inge mukulu kukila unene, kunsoko ai watuile zeikili unene,
31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing in water.
Shanga ai numulingile ung'wenso, kuiti aiitulikile nanso kina akunukulwe mukati a Israeli, kina ainzile nikazeoja ku mazi,
32 And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and he abode upon him.
uYohana ai ukuiie, “Ai nihengile uNg'wau Ng'welu ukusima kupuma kilunde mpyani a nkuni nu kusiga migulya akwe.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
Unene shanga ai numulingile, kuiti nuanso nai undagiiye iti noje ku mazi ai untambuie, “uyo nize ukihenga Ug'wau Ng'welu ukusima nu kikie migilya akwe, Nuanso yuyo nuojaa ku Ng'wau Ng'walu,
34 And I saw, and bore witness that this is the Son of God.
Nihengaa nu kukuiila kina uyu ige ng'wana wang'wa Itunda,”
35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
Hangi luhiku nai lutyatile uYohana aiukoli wimikile nia manyisigwa akwe abiili,
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
ai amihengile uYesu ukugenda nu Yohana akaligitya, “Goza, uNng'waa nkolo nuang'wa Itunda”
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Amanyisigwa abiili ai amigulye uYohana ukuligitya aya akamutyata uYesu.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith to them, What seek ye? They said to him, Rabbi, ( which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwellest thou?
Hangi uYesu ai upilukile nu kuihenga iamanyisigwa awo amutyatile, nu kuaila, “Muloilwe ntuni?” Akamusukiilya, Rabbi, ( ndogoelyo akwe ng'walimu; ) wikiee pii?”
39 He saith to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
Aka atambuila, “pembyi nu kihenga. “Uugwa ai alongoe nu kihenga i kianza nai wikiee; akikie palung'wi nu ng'wenso u luhiku nulanso, kunsoko aiyatulaa yapikiila saa ikumi iti.
40 One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Ung'wi nua awo ni abiili nai amigulye uYohana ukutambula ni uugwa kumutyata uYesu ai utuile inge Andrea, muluna akwe uSimoni Petro.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
Akamihenga muluna akwe uSimioni nu kumutambuila,”Kamulijaa uMasihi” (niiza impyanigwe Kristo).
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonah: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
Akamuleta kung'wa Yesu. uYesu akamugoza nu kuligitya, Uewe wi Simioni ng'wana wang'wa Yohana” wikitangwa Kefa” ( ndogoelyo akwe 'Ptro')
43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me.
Luhiku nai lutyatile itungo uYesu nai wahia kuhega kulongola kuGalilaya, ai umuligilye uFilipo nu kumuila, “Ntyate unene.”
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
uFilipo aiwatulaa mukola ihi nua kuBethasaida, kisali kang'wa Adrea nu Petro.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
uFilipo ai umuligilye uNathanaeli nu kumuila, Kamulijaa uyo naiza uMusa ukilisilye inkani niakwe mu malagiilyo nu Unyakidagu, Yesu ng'wana awng'wa Yusufu, kupuma kuNazareti.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
uNathanaeli akamuila, ''Itii kintu ni kiziza kihumile kupembelya kuNazareti?” uFilipo akamuila, “Nzuu nu kihenga.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
uYesu akaamihenga uNathanaeli upembilye kung'waakwe nu kuligitya, “Goza uMuisraeli tai taai ni mugila u ukongelwa mukati akwe”
48 Nathanael saith to him, How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
uNathanaeli akamuila, “Uningile kinyauli unene?” uYesu akamusukiilya nu kumuila, Aza ikili uFilipo kuitanga naza ukoli pihi pi ikota, aza nakihengaa.”
49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
uNahanaeli akasukiilya, “Rabi uewe wi Ng'wana wang'wa Itunda Uewe wi Mutemi nua Israeli”
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater things than these.
uYesu akasukiilya akamuila, Kunsoko nukuiie aza 'nukihengile pihi i kota' itii wahuiila? ukihenga ntendo nkulu kukila izi.”
51 And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, After this ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
uYesu akaligitya, “Huiili huiili kumuili mikihenga ilunde likuluguka, nu kuihenga iamalaika akunankila nu kusima migulya a Ng'wana wang'wa Adamu.”
