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 He was in the beginning with God.
Uyu, u lukani, Ung'wandyo ai watulaa palung'wi ni Itunda.
3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being.
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 that Life was the Light of men.
Mukati akwe ai ukoli u upanga, nu uwo upanga ai watulaa welu nu a ana adamu ihi.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
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 He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony concerning the Light--so that all might believe through him.
Ai wazile anga mukuiili kukiila kutula uwo u welu, iti kina ihi ahume kuhuiila kukiila ng'wenso.
8 He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.
U Yohona shanga ai uwo u welu, ila ai uzile iti wakuiile kutula uwo u welu.
9 The true Light was that which illumines every man by its coming 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 came into existence through Him, and the world did not recognize Him.
Ai watulaa mihi, ni ihi ai iumbilwe kukiila ng'wenso, ni ihi shanga ai limumanyile.
11 He came to the things that were His own, and His own people gave Him no welcome.
Ai uzile ku intu ni akwe, ni antu ni akwe shanga ikamusingiilya.
12 But all who have received Him, to them--that is, to those who trust in His name--He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;
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 begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from 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 came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory--the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was 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 gave testimony concerning Him and cried aloud, saying, "This is He of whom I said, 'He who is coming after me has been put 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 For He it is from whose fulness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
Kunsoko kupuma mu ukondaniili nu akwe, usese kihi kusingiiye nankanda u uhumi ze yakilaa nia uhumi.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Kunsoko ilagiilyo ai liletilwe kukiila Musa, u ukende ni tai ai izile kukiila Yesu Kristo.
18 No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom--He has made Him known.
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 This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him who he was.
Nu uwu wuwu ukuiili nuang'wa Yohana matungo i Akuhani ni Alawi nai alagiigwe kitalakwe ni Ayahudi kumukolya “uewe inge nyenyu?”.
20 He avowed--he did not conceal the truth, but avowed, "I am not the Christ."
Bila kisinsila hangi shanga ai uhitile, ila ai usukiiye, “Unene shanga Kristo”.
21 "What then?" they inquired; "are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.
Uu gwa akamokolya, “ku lulo uewe inge nyenyu itungili?” Uewe inge Eliya? Akaligitya, “Unene shanga” Akaligitya, uewe inge munyakidagu? Akasukiila “A aa”.
22 So they pressed the question. "Who are you?" they said--"that we may take an answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"
Uu gwa akamuila, “uewe inge nyenyu iti kina kuinkiilye isusho naza akulaagiye? Ukikuiila uli uewe mukola?”
23 "I am the voice," he replied, "of one crying aloud, 'Make straight the Lord's way in the Desert,' fulfilling the words of the Prophet Isaiah."
Akaligitya, “Unene inge luli nu lakwe nui lilaa muwii, “Migooli i nzila a mukulu! anga munyakidagu Isaya nai uligitilye.”
24 They were Pharisees who had been sent.
Uu gwa ai akoli ni antu alagiigwe kupuma pang'wanso kupuma ku Afalisayo. Akamukolya nu kuligitya,
25 Again they questioned him. "Why then do you baptize," they said, "if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?"
: ku niki ukoja gwa angize uewe shanga wi Kilisto ang'wi Eliya ang'wi munyakidagu?
26 "I baptize in water only," John answered, "but in your midst stands One whom you do not know--
uYohana ai uasukiiye azeligitya: Nukoja ku mazi, Ga ni iti, mukati anyu wimikile muntu ni shanga mumulingile.
27 He who is to come after me, and whose sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten."
Uyu yuyo nupembilye ze yakilaa unene, Unene ni mugila uhumi nuakutolya i mikoha a ilatu niakwe,
28 This conversation took place at Bethany beyond the 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 saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, "Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take 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 about whom I said, 'After me is to come One who has been put before me, because He was before me.'
uyu yuyo naindigitilye inkani niakwe nizeligitya, Nuanso nupembilye kituli kane inge mukulu kukila unene, kunsoko ai watuile zeikili unene,
31 I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water."
Shanga ai numulingile ung'wenso, kuiti aiitulikile nanso kina akunukulwe mukati a Israeli, kina ainzile nikazeoja ku mazi,
32 John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him.
uYohana ai ukuiie, “Ai nihengile uNg'wau Ng'welu ukusima kupuma kilunde mpyani a nkuni nu kusiga migulya akwe.
33 I did not yet know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, "'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down, and remaining, He it is who baptizes 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 "This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is the Son of God."
Nihengaa nu kukuiila kina uyu ige ng'wana wang'wa Itunda,”
35 Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,
Hangi luhiku nai lutyatile uYohana aiukoli wimikile nia manyisigwa akwe abiili,
36 when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!"
ai amihengile uYesu ukugenda nu Yohana akaligitya, “Goza, uNng'waa nkolo nuang'wa Itunda”
37 The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.
Amanyisigwa abiili ai amigulye uYohana ukuligitya aya akamutyata uYesu.
38 Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, "What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--'Rabbi' means 'Teacher' --"where are you staying?"
Hangi uYesu ai upilukile nu kuihenga iamanyisigwa awo amutyatile, nu kuaila, “Muloilwe ntuni?” Akamusukiilya, Rabbi, ( ndogoelyo akwe ng'walimu; ) wikiee pii?”
39 "Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.
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 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John's exclamation and followed Jesus.
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 found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" --that is to say, the Anointed One.
Akamihenga muluna akwe uSimioni nu kumutambuila,”Kamulijaa uMasihi” (niiza impyanigwe Kristo).
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas" --that is to say, Peter (or 'Rock').
Akamuleta kung'wa Yesu. uYesu akamugoza nu kuligitya, Uewe wi Simioni ng'wana wang'wa Yohana” wikitangwa Kefa” ( ndogoelyo akwe 'Ptro')
43 The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him.
Luhiku nai lutyatile itungo uYesu nai wahia kuhega kulongola kuGalilaya, ai umuligilye uFilipo nu kumuila, “Ntyate unene.”
44 (Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.)
uFilipo aiwatulaa mukola ihi nua kuBethasaida, kisali kang'wa Adrea nu Petro.
45 Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth."
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 "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. "Come and see," said Philip.
uNathanaeli akamuila, ''Itii kintu ni kiziza kihumile kupembelya kuNazareti?” uFilipo akamuila, “Nzuu nu kihenga.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, "Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!"
uYesu akaamihenga uNathanaeli upembilye kung'waakwe nu kuligitya, “Goza uMuisraeli tai taai ni mugila u ukongelwa mukati akwe”
48 "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you."
uNathanaeli akamuila, “Uningile kinyauli unene?” uYesu akamusukiilya nu kumuila, Aza ikili uFilipo kuitanga naza ukoli pihi pi ikota, aza nakihengaa.”
49 "Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!"
uNahanaeli akasukiilya, “Rabi uewe wi Ng'wana wang'wa Itunda Uewe wi Mutemi nua Israeli”
50 "Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig-tree,'" replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater things than that."
uYesu akasukiilya akamuila, Kunsoko nukuiie aza 'nukihengile pihi i kota' itii wahuiila? ukihenga ntendo nkulu kukila izi.”
51 "I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to 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.”
