1 Qaalay kasse koyro dees. Qallakka Xoossa achan dees. He qalaaykka Xoossa.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was face to face with God, and the Word was God.
2 Izee koyro Xoossa achchan dees.
He was face to face with God in the Beginning.
3 Medheteththi wurii izann medhetdes. Medhettdazan izi baynda medhetiday isiinaka dukku.
All things came into being through him, and apart from him nothing that exists came into being.
4 Deyooy ezann deyssu. hana deyooya asas poo7.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 Poo77y dhumaan poo7ses. dhumayy poo7 muleeka xonena.
And the light is shining in the darkness, and the darkness has not overwhelmed it
6 Xoossafe kiitetda Yanissa getettiza isadeey dess.
A man came into being, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Iza markkatithaan asi wurii amanna malla Po77s markka giddii yidess.
He came as a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light - so that all men might believe through him.
8 Izi poo7o gish markatana yides atiin izi ba hues po7o gidena.
He was not the Light; it was to bear testimony concerning the Light that he came into being.
9 Asa wursoos po7o imiiza tumu poo7oy hayssa ha alamezan yusan dess.
The true Light, which enlightens every man, was then coming into the world.
10 Qaalayka kase alamen dess. almeykka medhetdday izana. Gido atin alameey iza erribeeyna.
He was in the world, and through him the world came into being, yet the world knew him not.
11 Izi ba bagtako yiin iza bagaty iza ekiibetena.
He came to his own creation, and his own folk welcomed him not.
12 Gido attin iza ekdaytii iza sunesaa amaniddayta isti xossa naytia gidana maata isstass iimdess.
But to all who receive him, to them he has given the right to become children of God, even to those who trust in his name;
13 Isttikka xossa nayta gididay xoossafe yelettida gish attin asa zeerethafe heskka asa wogan woykko asho shenen gidena.
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, 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 tented with us. And we gazed on his glory - glory as of the Father’s only Son - 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 bore witness 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.’"
16 Iza kumetha kiyatethan nu wuri keyatetha bolla kiyateth ekkidos.
For out of his fulness we have all received, yes, grace upon grace.
17 Wogay musse baggara immetidas, kiyatethine tumay gidiikoo Yesuss Kirsitosa baggara nusii yidess.
For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Xooss beyedaye oonnkka bawa, gido attin Xossa aawa matan diza xoossa na xoossay issay xalala iza qonccissidess.
No man has ever seen God; God, only begotten, who is 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 the testimony of John, when the Jews sent some priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
20 Yanssay “tani Kiristtosa gidikee” gidi geshshi markkatides attin markkatanas ixxibeyna.
He acknowledged - he did not deny it - but 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.
"What then?" they questioned; "Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he replied.
22 Istii qaas “histin ne onee? nuna kitda asas nu yotanamalla ne nena ona gay?” gida.
Then said they to him. "Who are you? That we may give some answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"
23 Izika “nabe Isayasay yootidaysa mala tani xoossa ogge suriistte gishe bazoo biitann wasiizade qalla girethth” gidess.
He said, "I am a voice of one who cries aloud in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as said the prophet Isaiah."
24 parssawistappe kittettda issi issi asati
Now it was some of the Pharisees who had been sent to him;
25 Hesa gish “ne Xoossi kittidade woykko buroo yana getetida nabaye nene gidontta gidikoo hstiin azaas nuna xmaqqazi?” gidii iza oychchida.
so they questioned him, saying, "Why then are you baptizing, 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.
"I indeed am baptizing in water," John said in reply, "but in your midst stands One whom you do not recognize,
27 Tappe guyera yanaysi iza, ta iza ccama qachcho birshanass besizade gidikke.
One who is to come after me, whose sandal-strap I am not worthy to untie."
28 Haysi wuri haniday Yanssay xamiqqiza Yordanosse shshafappe he pinththan diza Biitaniyaa getetiza katamana. Biitaniyay
This happened in Bethany, beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 “Wonteththa glass Yanissay Yasussay beeko yishshin beydi (deree nagara biitappe digana Xoossa doorssay hekko hysichchi!
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said. "Behold, that is God’s Lamb, who takes and bears 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 One who has been put before me, for he was before me.’
31 Takaa ta bagaraa iza eraabeyke shin gidikooka izi Isra7ele deress qonchnamala ta haththan xxamaqashshe yadiss.”
I myself did not recognize him; I only came baptizing in water, in order that he might be openly shown to Israel."
32 Kaleththidika Yanissayy hizgi markatidess. “Xiiloo Ayanay woole kafoo milattdii salopee woodhishshinne iza bolla uttshin beyadiss.
John also bore this testimony, saying. "I saw the Spirit like a dove descend from heaven and rest 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 did not recognize him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and resting upon him, is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’
34 Taka hessa beyadiss. Hessa gish izi Xoossa na gididaysa ta markatays.”
This I have seen, and I am become a witness to the fact that he is the Son of God."
35 Wontetha galass Yanissay bena kaliza nam7atara heen eqqides.
Next day again, John was standing with two of his disciples.
36 Yesussay iza achchara adhdhishshn Yanissay beydii “Xoossa dorssay hekkoo haysichch!” gides.
After gazing intently on Jesus as he walked about, he said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!"
37 Yanssa kalliza nam7ati hessa siiydii Yesussa kallida.
The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.
38 Istii iza kaliishshn yesussa guye yuuy xellidii “ayy kooyetii?” gidees. Istkka “asstamaare ne dussasoy awaa?” gida.
Then Jesus turned and saw them following him, and said, "What do you want?" They replied, "Rabbi" (which may be translated ‘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 said to them, "Come, and you shall see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four o’clock in the afternoon.
40 Yanissay yotida qaala siydii Yesussa kallida nam7atappe issay Simoona Phixiroossa ishsha Indirassa.
One of the two men who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 Indirassay koyroo ba ishsha simoonakko bidinne “Xoossi kitida kirstossa nu demidos!” gidess.
In the morning he found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (a word which means Christ, the Anointed One).
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.
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked intently at him and said. "You are Simon, son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (or ‘Peter,’ which means ‘Rock’).
43 Wonteththa gallas Yesusay Galilla banass koydees. Piliphoosska demiidi “tana kalla” gidess.
Next day Jesus decided to go into Galilee; and he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."
44 Pilphoossaykka Indirasamalane Phixiroossamala Batesaydda kattama asa.
Now Philip belonged to Bethsaida, the same town as 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.
Then Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found him about whom Moses wrote in the Law, as did the prophets - Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph’s son."
46 Natina7eley qass “Nazireteppe lo7o miishi beti erizee?” gi oychin Pilphossay iza “ha yada beya” gides.
And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said 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 said, "Behold a true 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.
"How do you know me?" asked Nathanael. "Before Philip called you," replied Jesus, "when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
49 Natina77eleay “asstammarea! ne Xoossa na ne Israe77ele kawo” gides.
"Rabbi," answered Nathanael, "you are the Son of God; you are King of Israel."
50 Yesussaykka izas “ne amaniiday ta neena baallass miththa garsan beyadis” gidagsshe? ne buro hessafe adhdhiza daro miish beyana.
Jesus said in reply. "Do you believe because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree?’
51 Gujidikka ta intes tumu gays buro sallooy dooyetin Xoossa kiitanchati asa na bolla wdhishininne kezishin inte beyana.
You shall see greater things than that! Believe me," he added, "you all shall see heaven opened wide, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."
