John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
MASAN kotier ni tapi o, a masan kotier ren Kot, a masan me udan Kot.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
I me kotikot ren Kot ni tapi o.
3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
I me dipisou karos tapi kidar, o sota man meakot mia, me kaidin i kotin wiadar.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Maur mi re a; o iei maur o marain en aramas.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
A marain o me dakarada rotorot, a rotorot sota lingan kila.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Aramas amen me pakadarador sang ren Kot ad a Ioanes!
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
I me pwara dong kadede, pwen kadede marain o pwe karos en poson pweki i.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Kaidin i me marain o, a a kin kadede marain o.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Iei marain melel, me pwara dong sappa, ap kamaraini aramas karos.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognise him.
I me kotier sappa, o i me sappa tapi kidar, a sappa sasa i.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
A koti dong udan sapwilim a, a sapwilim a kan me san i.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:
Karos, me kasamo i, a kotiki ong ir manaman, en wiala seri en Kot, ir, me poson mar a,
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Me kaidin ipwidi sang nta, de inong en uduk, de inong en ol o, pwe ipwidier sang ren Kot.
14 The Word became flesh and lived amongst us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Masan me wia uduk ala o kotikot re atail, o kitail kilanger a lingan, lingan dueta lingan en Ieros eu sang ren Sam o, me dir en mak melel.
15 John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
Ioanes me kadede i ngil laudeda indada: Iei i, me i padaki wei: Me pan kotido mur i, iei me mier mo i, pwe a kotikotier mo i.
16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
Pwe kitail karos ale sang nan audepa a mak sapan potopot.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realised through Jesus Christ.
Pwe kapung me kokido sang Moses, a mak o melel sang Iesus Kristus.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
Sota me kilanger Kot kokodo, Ol ieros ta, me kin kotikot pan kupur en Sam o, i me kotin kasaledar i.
19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
A met en Ioanes a kadede, ni men Sus kadarala sang Ierusalem samero o lepit oko, pwen idok re a: Is koe?
20 He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
I ari kotin kadede; a sota likam; a kotin kadede: Kaidin Kristus ngai.
21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
Irail idok re a: A is? Elias komui? A masani: Kaidin ngai i. Komui saukop o? A sapeng: Kaidin.
22 They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
Irail ap indang i: A is komui? Pwe sen sapeng irail me kadar kit dor. Da me komui kadedeki pein komui?
23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
A masani: Ngai ngil eu, me likelikwir sili nan sap tan: Kaineneda al en Kaun o, duen saukop Iesaia masanier!
24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
A irail pakadaradoer sang ren Parisär akan.
25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptise if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
Irail ap idok re a indada: Da me komui wia paptaisiki, ma komui kaidin Kristus, o kaidin Elias, o pil kaidin saukop o?
26 John answered them, “I baptise in water, but amongst you stands one whom you don’t know.
Ioanes sapeng irail masani: Ngai me paptaisiki pil, a amen kin kotikot nan pung omail, me komail sasa.
27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
Iei i me kotido mur i, me ngai sowar ong, en lapwada sal en sapwilim a sut.
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptising.
Mepukat wiauier Petapara palilan Iordan, wasa Ioanes kin wia paptais ia.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Mandan ran o a masani Iesus a koti dong i ap masani: Kilang Sippul en Kot, me kin wawei dip en sappa!
30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
Iei i, me i padaki wei: Ol amen pan kotido mur i iei, me mier mo i, pwe a kotikotier mo i.
31 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptising in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
A ngai so asa i, a pwe i en sansal dong Israel, iei me i kokido paptaisiki pil.
32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
A Ioanes kadede masani: I kilanger Ngen o kotidido sang nanlang ni mom en muroi kotikot re a.
33 I didn’t recognise him, but he who sent me to baptise in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptises in the Holy Spirit.’
A ngai so asa i, a me porone ia don wia paptaisiki pil, iei me kotin masani ong ia: Me koe pan kilang. Ngen piridi sok poa, o kotikoteta re a, iei i, me kin wia paptaisiki Ngen saraui.
34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
A i kilangadar ap kadedeki, me iei Sapwilim en Kot.
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
Mandan ran o Ioanes pil kotida wasa o, o na tounpadak riamen iang i.
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
A ni a udial Iesus kotikot kokodo, ap masani: Kilang Sippul en Kot!
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
A tounpadak riamen rongadar a masan, ap idauen wei Iesus.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
Iesus ap kotin saupeido masani ara idedauen, ap kotin masani ong ira: Da me koma rapaki? Ira potoan ong: Rapi (iet wewe: Saunpadak), ia wasa re kin kotikot ia?
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
A kotin masani ong ira: Kodo kilang! Ira ap poto dong kilanger wasa, me a kotikot ia, ap mimieta re a ni ran o. Mepukat wiauier impan auer kaeisok.
40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Andreas, ri en Simon Petrus amen re ra, me rongadar sang ren Ioanes ap idedauen i.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
I me diaradar mas udan ri a Simon, indai ong i: Se diaradar Mesias (iet wewe: Kristus).
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter).
I ap kalualang i ren Iesus. A Iesus lao masani i, ap masani: Simon, koe nain Iona, koe nok adaneki Kepas (iet wewe: Paip).
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
Mandan ran o a pan kotilang Kaliläa, Iesus ap kotin diaradar Pilipus, masani ong i: Idauen ia do!
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Pilipus men Petsaida, kanim en Andreas o Petrus.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
Pilipus diaradar Natanael, ap indang i: Se diaradar i, duen me Moses intingiedier nan puk en kapung o saukop akan: Iesus men Nasaret, sapwilim en Iosep.
46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
A Natanael indai ong i: Pala maukot pan kak pwarada sang Nasaret? Pilipus indang i: Kodo kilang!
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
Iesus kotin masani Natanael koko dong i, ap masani duen i: Kilang, ol melel en Israel amen, me sota kin widing.
48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Natanael potoan ong i: Re kotin mangi ia sang ia? Iesus kotin sapeng masani ong i: Mon Pilipus a eker uk edo, ni om mod pan tuka pik o, I kilang uk ada.
49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
Natanael sapeng potoan ong i: Rapi, ir me Sapwilim en Kot, ir me Nanmarki en Israel.
50 Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”
Iesus kotin sapeng masani ong i: Pweki I indai ong uk, me I kilang uk ada pan tuka pik o, iei me koe posonki, a koe nok kilang me lapa sang mepukat.
51 He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
A kotin masani ong i: Melel, melel I indai ong komail, sang met komail pan kilang nanlang a ritida o tounlang en Kot akan dauda o daudi pwarado ren Nain aramas.
