Yanisa Mishiracho 1
1 Qaalay kasse koyro dees. Qallakka Xoossa achan dees. He qalaaykka Xoossa.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Izee koyro Xoossa achchan dees.
He Himself existed in the beginning with God.
3 Medheteththi wurii izann medhetdes. Medhettdazan izi baynda medhetiday isiinaka dukku.
All things came to be by Him; that is, apart from Him not even one thing that has come into being came to be.
4 Deyooy ezann deyssu. hana deyooya asas poo7.
In Him was life, and the Life was the Light of mankind.
5 Poo77y dhumaan poo7ses. dhumayy poo7 muleeka xonena.
Now the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 Xoossafe kiitetda Yanissa getettiza isadeey dess.
There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Iza markkatithaan asi wurii amanna malla Po77s markka giddii yidess.
This man came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
8 Izi poo7o gish markatana yides atiin izi ba hues po7o gidena.
He himself was not the Light but was to testify about the Light—
9 Asa wursoos po7o imiiza tumu poo7oy hayssa ha alamezan yusan dess.
the true Light which illumines everyone who comes into the world.
10 Qaalayka kase alamen dess. almeykka medhetdday izana. Gido atin alameey iza erribeeyna.
He was in the world, the world that came into being by Him, yet the world did not know Him.
11 Izi ba bagtako yiin iza bagaty iza ekiibetena.
He came to His own things, yet His own people did not receive Him.
12 Gido attin iza ekdaytii iza sunesaa amaniddayta isti xossa naytia gidana maata isstass iimdess.
But, as many as did receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe into His name:
13 Isttikka xossa nayta gididay xoossafe yelettida gish attin asa zeerethafe heskka asa wogan woykko asho shenen gidena.
who were begotten, not by blood, nor by the desire of the flesh, nor by the will of a man, but by God.
14 Qaallayka ass giddies, Xossa kiyatethinne tumann kumidii nunaan aqqides, Isi nass awa matan diza bonchoo milatza iza booncho nu beydos.
So the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we observed His glory, glory of an Only-begotten, from the 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 testified about Him and called out saying: “This is He of whom I said, ‘The One coming after me is now ahead of me, because He existed before I did.’”
16 Iza kumetha kiyatethan nu wuri keyatetha bolla kiyateth ekkidos.
Now we have all received from His fullness, yes, grace upon grace.
17 Wogay musse baggara immetidas, kiyatethine tumay gidiikoo Yesuss Kirsitosa baggara nusii yidess.
Because the Law was given through Moses; the Grace and the Truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Xooss beyedaye oonnkka bawa, gido attin Xossa aawa matan diza xoossa na xoossay issay xalala iza qonccissidess.
No one has ever seen God. The Only-begotten Son, who exists in the bosom of the Father, He has interpreted Him.
19 Ayhudata dannatii Yerusalamappe qeessistane Lewe nayetta Yanssakoo kitidii “ne oonee?” gidi oychchishin,
Now this is John's testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Yanssay “tani Kiristtosa gidikee” gidi geshshi markkatides attin markkatanas ixxibeyna.
He confessed, he did not deny but confessed, “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.
So they asked him, “What then, are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you ‘the Prophet’?” “No,” he answered.
22 Istii qaas “histin ne onee? nuna kitda asas nu yotanamalla ne nena ona gay?” gida.
So they said to him: “Who are you?—so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
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 calling out: “Make the Lord's road straight in the wilderness,”’ just as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 parssawistappe kittettda issi issi asati
Now those who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
25 Hesa gish “ne Xoossi kittidade woykko buroo yana getetida nabaye nene gidontta gidikoo hstiin azaas nuna xmaqqazi?” gidii iza oychchida.
So they asked him saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor ‘the Prophet’?”
26 Yanssaykka istasi hzgidass “ta haththn xamaqqays gido atiin inte eroontadey inte giddon eqqides.
John answered them saying: “I baptize with water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.
27 Tappe guyera yanaysi iza, ta iza ccama qachcho birshanass besizade gidikke.
He is the One coming after me who is now ahead of me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.”
28 Haysi wuri haniday Yanssay xamiqqiza Yordanosse shshafappe he pinththan diza Biitaniyaa getetiza katamana. Biitaniyay
These things happened in Bithabara, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 “Wonteththa glass Yanissay Yasussay beeko yishshin beydi (deree nagara biitappe digana Xoossa doorssay hekko hysichchi!
The next day John sees Jesus coming toward him and says: “Look! 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!
This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is now ahead of me, because He existed before I did.’
31 Takaa ta bagaraa iza eraabeyke shin gidikooka izi Isra7ele deress qonchnamala ta haththan xxamaqashshe yadiss.”
I did not know Him; but so that He should be revealed to Israel, that is why I came baptizing with water.”
32 Kaleththidika Yanissayy hizgi markatidess. “Xiiloo Ayanay woole kafoo milattdii salopee woodhishshinne iza bolla uttshin beyadiss.
And John testified saying: “I observed the Spirit coming down like a dove out of heaven, and He rested 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.
Now I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, ‘The One upon whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting—this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 Taka hessa beyadiss. Hessa gish izi Xoossa na gididaysa ta markatays.”
So I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 Wontetha galass Yanissay bena kaliza nam7atara heen eqqides.
Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples.
36 Yesussay iza achchara adhdhishshn Yanissay beydii “Xoossa dorssay hekkoo haysichch!” gides.
And seeing Jesus walking by, he says, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 Yanssa kalliza nam7ati hessa siiydii Yesussa kallida.
The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Istii iza kaliishshn yesussa guye yuuy xellidii “ayy kooyetii?” gidees. Istkka “asstamaare ne dussasoy awaa?” gida.
So turning and observing them following Jesus says to them, “What do you want?” So they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which translated means ‘Teacher’), “where are You staying?”
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.” So they went and saw where He was staying, and stayed with Him that day—it was about the tenth hour.
40 Yanissay yotida qaala siydii Yesussa kallida nam7atappe issay Simoona Phixiroossa ishsha Indirassa.
One of the two who heard John and followed Him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
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 Messiah” (which is translated ‘Christ’).
42 Hesafe guye Indirassay Simoona Yesussakko ekii yides. Yesussaykka iza tishsh hisiti xelidii. “hayso ne Yoonna na Simoonakko, hayssafe guye ne Keehaaththaa geetistana.” Kehaaththaa gusi Phixrossa gusa wyykoo zlaa shuchu gusa.
And he led him to Jesus. Looking at him Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you will be called Cephas” (which is translated ‘Stone’).
43 Wonteththa gallas Yesusay Galilla banass koydees. Piliphoosska demiidi “tana kalla” gidess.
The next day He decided to go to Galilee, so He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow me.”
44 Pilphoossaykka Indirasamalane Phixiroossamala Batesaydda kattama asa.
(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.)
45 Piphoossay natina7ele demiidi “Mussey woga maxxafan qase nabetiikka burope hanana yotiza bee maxxafatann iza gish xafida adeza nuu demidos, izikka Yosefo na Nazirete Yesussakko” gides.
Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found the One of whom Moses in the Law—and also the prophets—wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph, from Natsareth.”
46 Natina7eley qass “Nazireteppe lo7o miishi beti erizee?” gi oychin Pilphossay iza “ha yada beya” gides.
So Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Natsareth?” Philip says to him, “Come and see!”
47 Natina7eley Yesussa beyana yishin yesussay beydi iza “hekko geney bayndda tumu Isra77ele ass!” giidi iza gish yotidess.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and says about him, “There, a genuine Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”
48 Natina77eleykka zaridi “tana woosta eradii?” gi oychin Yesussaykka “Pilipoossay nena xeyiganappe kase Balasse miththa garsan ne dishshin ta nena beyaddis” gi zarin.
Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Natina77eleay “asstammarea! ne Xoossa na ne Israe77ele kawo” gides.
In answer Nathanael says to Him: “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are 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: “You believe because I said that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater 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, “I tell you (pl) most assuredly, later on you will see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of the Man.”
