John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Ak cykca awh awi ce awm hy, Awi ce Khawsa ing awm haih hy nih, ce awi taw Khawsa ni.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Anih ce ak cykca awh Khawsa ing awm haih hy nih.
3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
Anih ak caming ik-oeih boeih boeih ve sai na awm nawh; anih kaana taw ik-oeih sai pynoet ca awm am awm hy.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Anih ak khuiawh hqingnaak ce awm nawh, cawhkaw hqingnaak cetaw thlanghqing aham vangnaak na awm hy.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
Cawhkaw vangnaak ce than ak khuiawh vang hy, cehlai thannaak ing anih ce am sim hy.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Khawsa venawh kawng a tyih law thlang pynoet ce awm hy; anih taw Johan mingna hy.
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Anih ak caming thlang boeih ing amik cangnaak thai aham anih taw cawhkaw vangnaak ak sim sakkung simpyinaak na awm hy.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Amah taw vangnaak amni; cehlai cawhkaw vangnaak ak dyih pyi simpyinaak na awm hy.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Thlang boeih ak coeikung vangnaak tang tang ce khawmdek awh law hy.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognise him.
Anih taw khawmdek awh awm hawh hy; amah ing khawmdek ve sai hlai hy, khawmdek ing amah ce am hat hy.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
Ak thlangkhqi venna law hlai hy, ak thlangkhqi ing anih ce am do uhy.
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:
Cehlai amah ce ak dokhqi boeih, ang ming ak cangnaak thlangkhqi boeih a venawh, Khawsa cakhqi na awm thainaak ce pehy.
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Pumsa ben kaana, ‘Khawsa a ngaihnaak amyihna ak thang thlangkhqi na awm uhy.
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.
Awi ce pumsa na coeng nawh, ningnih a venawh awm hy. Pynoet ingkaw taak chyn na ak awm a boeimangnaak, qeennaak ingkaw awitak ing ak be, Pa a venna kawng ak law, amah a boeimangnaak ce ni hu hawh uhy.
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.’”
Johan ing anih akawng ce thlang a venawh sim sak hy. “Anih akawng maw kak kqawn mah, ‘Anih taw kai anglakawh lamma na a awm hawh dawngawh, kai a hu awh ak law cetaw kai anglakawh bau khqoet hy,’ ka tice,” tihy.
16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
Am qeennaak ak be pyr awhkawng ningnih ing zoseennaak pynoet coeng pynoet ni hu boeih uhy.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realised through Jesus Christ.
Mosi a venawh kawng anaa awi ce a na pe nawh, qeennaak ingkaw awitak taw Jesu Khrih awhkawng law hy.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
U ingawm Khawsa ce am hu khawi hlai hy, pynoet doek khoeih a taak chyn na ak awm Khawsa, Pa a venawh ak awm ing anih ce dang law sak hawh hy.
19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
Jerusalem awhkaw Judakhqi ing anih ce doet aham khawsoeihkhqi ingkaw Levikhqi ce a venna a tyih khqi awh Johan ing a simpyinaak taw vemyihna awm hy.
20 He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
Anih ce simpyi kaana am awm hy, “Kai ve Khrih amni,” tinawh kqawn hy.
21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
Cekkhqi ing, Cawhtaw nang ve a u nu? Nang ve Elijah aw?” tinawh doet uhy. Anih ing, “Amni,” tinak khqi hy. “Nang ve Tawngha aw?” tina bai uhy. Anih ing, “Amni, tinak khqi bai hy.
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?”
A hukhit na taw cekkhqi ing, Nang ve a u nu? Kaimih anik tyikhqi venawh ka mik kqawnnaak aham nang ve a u nu tice kqawn lah. Namah ingkaw namah ce ikawmyihna nak kqawnnaak?” tina uhy.
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.”
Johan ing tawngha Isaiah ak awi ing hlat pek khqi hy, Kai taw, ‘Bawipa aham lam ce dyng sak lah uh,’ tinawh qamkoh awh ak khypyi ce ni,” tinak khqi hy.
24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
Cawh ami tyihkhqi Farasi thlang vang tloek ing,
25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptise if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
doet uhy, Khrih na awm am awm hyk ti, Elijah na awm am awm nawh tawngha na awm am awm loei tiksaw, ikaw ham nu baptisam nani peek khqi bai?” tina uhy.
26 John answered them, “I baptise in water, but amongst you stands one whom you don’t know.
Johan ing, “Kai ing tui ing baptisma ni pek khqi nyng, cehlai naming lakawh am nami sim thlang pynoet dyi hy.
27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
Anih cetaw kai a hu awhkaw ak law ce ni, anih a khawmyk qui ak suh peek aham awm kai taw am kawih nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptising.
Vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih taw Johan ing baptisma a peeknaak Jordan tui caqai Bethani khaw awh ak awm na awm hy.
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!
A khawngawi nyn awh Jesu a venna a law ce Johan ing a huh awh, “Khawmdek thawlhnaak ak phyikung, Khawsa a tuuca, toek lah uh!
30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
Anih ni, ‘Kai a hu awh ak law taw kai anglakawh bau khqoet hy, kawtih anih taw kai ka awm hlanawh awm hawh hy,’ ka ti ce.
31 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptising in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
Kai kamah ingawm anih ce am sim nyng, cehlai kai ing tui ing baptisma ka ni peeknaak khqi vetaw, anih ce Israel thlangkhqi venawh ang dangnaak aham ni,” tihy.
32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
Cekcoengawh Johan ing vemyihna sim pyi hy: “Khan nakawng Myihla kqukkqu amyihna kqum law nawh ak khanawh ang cuk ce hu nyng.
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.’
Ak khanawh Myihla kqum nawh ak cu thlang ing Ciim Myihla ing baptisma ni pe khqi kaw,’ tinawh tui ing baptisma peek aham anik tyikung ing amak kqawn law man kai ingawm amna sim kawng.
34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
Kai ing ka huh hawh dawngawh anih ve Khawsa Capa ni, tice sim pyi nyng,” tihy.
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
A khawngawi nyn awh Johan taw a hubat thlang pakkhih ingqawi ce a hun awh awm tlaih bai uhy.
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
Jesu a ceh ce a huh awh, “Khawsa a tuuca ce, toek lah uh,” tinak khqi hy.
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Cawhkaw awi ce a hubat thlang pakkhih ing a ning zaak awh, Jesu a hu awh ce bat hy nih.
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?”
Cekqawi ing a hu awh ani hquut ce Jesu ing a huh awh, hawi nawh, “Ikaw na ni ngaih? tina qawi hy. Cekqawi ing, “Cawngpyi kung, hanawh na awm?” tina hy nih.
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.
Anih ing, “Vena law nih, hu bit kawm nik ti,” tina qawi hy. Cedawngawh cekqawi ce cet nih nawh anih a awmnaak ce hu hy nih, ce a nyn awh ce anih a venawh awm pyt hy nih. Ce a tym taw khawnoek pahqa tluk law hy.
40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Simon Piter a na Andru taw, cekqawi ak khuiawh Johan ak awi za nawh Jesu a hu awh ak bat thlang pynoet na awm hy.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
Lamma cyk na Andru ing a sai taw ak tai Simon ce sui nawh, Mesiah (Khrih, tinaak) hu hawh nyng, tinawh kqawn peek aham sui hy.
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).
Cekcoengawh ak tai ce Jesu a venna law pyi hy. Jesu ing anih ce toek nawh, “Nang taw Johan a capa Simon ni, Cepha (ve ve Piter tinaak ni) ming na hawh kawp ti,” tina hy.
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
A khawngawi nyn awh Jesu taw Kalili na ceh aham cai hy. Philip ce hu nawh, “Ka hu awh bat lah,” tina hy.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Andru ingkaw Piter amyihna Philip awm Bethsaida khaw awhkaw thlang na awm hy.
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.”
Philip ing Nathanel ce hu nawh kqawn pehy, “Mosi a anaa awi awh qee nawh tawnghakhqi ingawm ami na qee – Nazareth Jesu, Joseph a capa ce, hu hawh nyng,” tina hy.
46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Nathanel ing, Nazareth e! Cawhkawng ik-oeih leek law hly thai nawh nu ti?” tinawh doet hy. Philip ing, “Law nawh taw toek mah toek cang lah,” tina hy.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
Nathanel a law ce Jesu ing a huh awh, “Coet amak kap, Israel thlang tang tang vawh awm hy ve,” tina hy.
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.”
Nathanel ing, “Ikawmyihna nani simnaak?” tina hy. Jeush ing, “Philip ing anik khy hlanawh thaikung awh nang ngawih awh ni hu hawh nyng,” tina hy.
49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
Cawh Nathanel ing, “Cawngpyikung, nang ve Khawsa Capa; Israel Sangphrang na awm hyk ti,” tina hy.
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!”
Jesu ing, “Thaikung awh na awm awh ni hu nyng, ka ni tinaak dawngawh nik cangna hyk ti. Ce anglakawh ik-oeih ak bau khqoet hu hyn kawp ti,” tina hy.
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.”
Cekcoengawh, “Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khawk khan ak awng qu ce hu kawm tiksaw, Thlang Capa ak camawh, Khawsa ak khan ceityihkhqi a hak kai ingkaw a nuk kqum ce hu kawp ti,” tina hy.
