In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Izee koyro Xoossa achchan dees.
He was in the beginning with God.
3 Medheteththi wurii izann medhetdes. Medhettdazan izi baynda medhetiday isiinaka dukku.
All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being.
4 Deyooy ezann deyssu. hana deyooya asas poo7.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.

There was a man sent from God, his name John.

He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Izi poo7o gish markatana yides atiin izi ba hues po7o gidena.
He was not the light, but that he might witness concerning the light.
9 Asa wursoos po7o imiiza tumu poo7oy hayssa ha alamezan yusan dess.
The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.

He was in the world, and the world had [its] being through him, and the world knew him not.
11 Izi ba bagtako yiin iza bagaty iza ekiibetena.
He came to his own, and his own received him not;
12 Gido attin iza ekdaytii iza sunesaa amaniddayta isti xossa naytia gidana maata isstass iimdess.
but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to be children of God, to those that believe on his name;
13 Isttikka xossa nayta gididay xoossafe yelettida gish attin asa zeerethafe heskka asa wogan woykko asho shenen gidena.
who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of God.
14 Qaallayka ass giddies, Xossa kiyatethinne tumann kumidii nunaan aqqides, Isi nass awa matan diza bonchoo milatza iza booncho nu beydos.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;
15 Yanssaykka “tappe guyera yizaysi tafe adhees, gasooyka izi tape kaseka dess gada ta intees yotidaysi hekoo haysi izako” gii matatidess.
(John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me; )
16 Iza kumetha kiyatethan nu wuri keyatetha bolla kiyateth ekkidos.
for of his fulness we all have received, and grace upon grace.
17 Wogay musse baggara immetidas, kiyatethine tumay gidiikoo Yesuss Kirsitosa baggara nusii yidess.
For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ.
18 Xooss beyedaye oonnkka bawa, gido attin Xossa aawa matan diza xoossa na xoossay issay xalala iza qonccissidess.
No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
19 Ayhudata dannatii Yerusalamappe qeessistane Lewe nayetta Yanssakoo kitidii “ne oonee?” gidi oychchishin,
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou?
20 Yanssay “tani Kiristtosa gidikee” gidi geshshi markkatides attin markkatanas ixxibeyna.
And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am not the Christ.
21 Isttika “histtine ne oonne? ne Elassa? gidi oychchida, izki gidike” gidi isttas zaaridess, Isttika “izi yana kittetida nabey nene?” gida. izika “akaye tana gidke” gidas.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Istii qaas “histin ne onee? nuna kitda asas nu yotanamalla ne nena ona gay?” gida.
They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 Izika “nabe Isayasay yootidaysa mala tani xoossa ogge suriistte gishe bazoo biitann wasiizade qalla girethth” gidess.
He said, I [am] [the] voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the path of [the] Lord, as said Esaias the prophet.

And they were sent from among the Pharisees.
25 Hesa gish “ne Xoossi kittidade woykko buroo yana getetida nabaye nene gidontta gidikoo hstiin azaas nuna xmaqqazi?” gidii iza oychchida.
And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
26 Yanssaykka istasi hzgidass “ta haththn xamaqqays gido atiin inte eroontadey inte giddon eqqides.
John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,
27 Tappe guyera yanaysi iza, ta iza ccama qachcho birshanass besizade gidikke.
he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose.

These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.

On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
30 Tapee guyerra yanayysi izi tappe kassekka diza gish tappe adhdhess) gada ta intess yotizzay haysichch!
He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he was before me;
31 Takaa ta bagaraa iza eraabeyke shin gidikooka izi Isra7ele deress qonchnamala ta haththan xxamaqashshe yadiss.”
and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.
32 Kaleththidika Yanissayy hizgi markatidess. “Xiiloo Ayanay woole kafoo milattdii salopee woodhishshinne iza bolla uttshin beyadiss.
And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
33 Ta tabagara iza eriike shin ta haththan xmaqqanamalla tana kiitidadey (Xiilloo Ayanay iza bola wodhidi shempishshin nee beyanadey Xiiloo Ayanan meccnay izakko) gidii tas yoottidess.
And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, he said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with [the] Holy Spirit.
34 Taka hessa beyadiss. Hessa gish izi Xoossa na gididaysa ta markatays.”
And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.

And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus.

But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou?
39 Izikka ista “ha ydii beyte” gidess. Hessa gish bidii izii awan dizakko be7idane he gllass izara isppe pe7ida. Wodeykka gedee tamuu sateso bidess.
He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard [this] from John and followed him.
41 Indirassay koyroo ba ishsha simoonakko bidinne “Xoossi kitida kirstossa nu demidos!” gidess.
He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).

And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).
43 Wonteththa gallas Yesusay Galilla banass koydees. Piliphoosska demiidi “tana kalla” gidess.
On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.
44 Pilphoossaykka Indirasamalane Phixiroossamala Batesaydda kattama asa.
And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.

And Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.

Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 Natina77eleay “asstammarea! ne Xoossa na ne Israe77ele kawo” gides.
Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.
50 Yesussaykka izas “ne amaniiday ta neena baallass miththa garsan beyadis” gidagsshe? ne buro hessafe adhdhiza daro miish beyana.
Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 Gujidikka ta intes tumu gays buro sallooy dooyetin Xoossa kiitanchati asa na bolla wdhishininne kezishin inte beyana.
And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
