Yohanna 1
1 Tun farar farawa akwai Kalma, Kalman kuwa yana nan tare da Allah, Kalman kuwa Allah ne.
In the beginning the Word was; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God.
2 Yana nan tare da Allah tun farar farawa.
He was in the beginning with God;
3 Ta wurin Kalman ne aka halicci dukan abubuwa. In ba tare da shi ba, babu abin da aka yi wanda aka yi.
through him all things came into being, and nothing came into being apart from him.
4 A cikinsa rai ya kasance, wannan rai kuwa shi ne hasken mutane.
That which came into being in him was life; and the life was the light of humanity;
5 Hasken yana haskakawa cikin duhu, amma duhun bai rinjaye shi ba.
and the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness never overpowered it.
6 Akwai wani mutumin da aka aiko daga Allah; mai suna Yohanna.
There appeared a man sent from God, whose name was John;
7 Ya zo a matsayin mai shaida domin yă ba da shaida game da wannan haske, don ta wurinsa dukan mutane su ba da gaskiya.
he came as a witness – to bear witness to the light so that through him everyone might believe.
8 Shi kansa ba shi ne hasken ba; sai dai ya zo a matsayin shaida ne kaɗai ga hasken.
He was not the light, but he came to bear witness to the light.
9 Haske na gaskiya da yake ba da haske ga kowane mutum mai shigowa duniya.
That was the true light which enlightens everyone coming into the world.
10 Yana a duniya, kuma ko da yake an yi duniya ta wurinsa ne, duniya ba tă gane shi ba.
He was in the world; and through him the world came into being – yet the world did not know him.
11 Ya zo wurin abin da yake nasa, amma nasa ɗin ba su karɓe shi ba.
He came to his own – yet his own did not receive him.
12 Duk da haka dukan waɗanda suka karɓe shi, ga waɗanda suka gaskata a sunansa, ya ba su iko su zama’ya’yan Allah
But to all who did receive him he gave power to become children of God – to those who believe in his name.
13 ’ya’yan da aka haifa ba bisa hanyar’yan adam, ko shawarar mutum ko nufin namiji ba, sai dai haifaffu bisa ga nufin Allah.
For not to natural conception, nor to human instincts, nor to human will did they owe the new life, but to God.
14 Kalman ya zama mutum, ya kuwa zauna a cikinmu. Muka ga ɗaukakarsa, ɗaukaka ta wanda yake Ɗaya kuma Makaɗaici, wanda ya zo daga wurin Uba, cike da alheri da gaskiya.
And the Word became human, and lived among us, (We saw his glory – the glory of the Only Son sent from the Father), full of love and truth.
15 (Yohanna ya ba da shaida game da shi. Ya ɗaga murya yana cewa, “Wannan shi ne wanda na ce, ‘Mai zuwa bayana ya fi ni girma domin yana nan kafin ni.’”)
(John bears witness to him; he cried aloud – for it was he who spoke – “He who is coming after me is now before me, for he was ever first”);
16 Daga yalwar alherinsa dukanmu muka sami albarka bisa albarka.
out of his fullness we have all received gift after gift of love;
17 Gama an ba da doka ta wurin Musa; alheri da gaskiya kuwa sun zo ne ta wurin Yesu Kiristi.
for the Law was given through Moses, love and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Ba wanda ya taɓa ganin Allah, sai dai Allah da yake Ɗaya da kuma Makaɗaici wanda yake a gefen Uba, shi ne ya bayyana shi.
No one has ever yet seen God; God the only Son, who is ever with the Father – he has revealed him.
19 To, ga shaidar Yohanna sa’ad da Yahudawan Urushalima suka aiki firistoci da Lawiyawa su tambaye shi ko shi wane ne.
When the religious authorities in Jerusalem sent some Priests and Levites to ask John – “Who are you?”,
20 Bai yi mūsu ba, amma ya shaida a fili cewa, “Ba ni ne Kiristi ba.”
he told them clearly and simply, “I am not the Christ.”
21 Sai suka tambaye shi suka ce, “To, wane ne kai? Kai ne Iliya?” Ya ce, “A’a, ni ba shi ba ne.” “Kai ne Annabin nan?” Ya amsa ya ce, “A’a.”
“What then?” they asked. “Are you Elijah?” “No,” he said, “I am not.” “Are you ‘the prophet’?” He answered, “No.”
22 A ƙarshe suka ce, “Wane ne kai? Ka ba mu amsa don mu mayar wa waɗanda suka aike mu. Me kake ce da kanka?”
“Who then are you?” they continued. “Tell us so that we have an answer to give to those who have sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 Yohanna ya amsa da kalmomin annabi Ishaya, “Ni murya ne mai kira a hamada, ‘Ku miƙe hanya domin Ubangiji.’”
“I,” he answered, “am – ‘The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: make a straight road for the Lord’, as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 To, waɗansu Farisiyawan da aka aika
These men had been sent from the Pharisees;
25 suka tambaye shi suka ce, “Don me kake yin baftisma in kai ba Kiristi ba ne, ba kuwa Iliya ba, ba kuma annabin nan ba?”
and their next question was, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ or Elijah or ‘the prophet’?”
26 Yohanna ya amsa ya ce, “Ni dai ina baftisma da ruwa ne, amma a cikinku akwai wani tsaye da ba ku sani ba.
John’s answer was – “I baptize with water, but among you stands one whom you do not know;
27 Shi ne mai zuwa bayana, wanda ko igiyar takalmansa ma ban isa in kunce ba.”
he is coming after me, yet I am not worthy even to unfasten his sandal.”
28 Wannan duk ya faru ne a Betani a ƙetaren Urdun, inda Yohanna yake yin baftisma.
This happened at Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Kashegari Yohanna ya ga Yesu yana zuwa wajensa sai ya ce, “Ku ga, ga Ɗan Rago na Allah mai ɗauke zunubin duniya!
The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him, and exclaimed, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 Wannan shi ne wanda nake nufi sa’ad da na ce, ‘Mutum mai zuwa bayana ya fi ni girma, domin yana nan kafin ni.’
I was talking about him when I said ‘After me there is coming a man who ranks ahead of me, because before I was born he already was.’
31 Ko ni ma dā ban san shi ba, sai dai abin da ya sa na zo ina baftisma da ruwa shi ne domin a bayyana shi ga Isra’ila.”
I did not know who he was, but I have come baptizing with water to make him known to Israel.”
32 Sai Yohanna ya ba da wannan shaida, “Na ga Ruhu ya sauko kamar kurciya daga sama ya zauna a kansa.
John also said: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven like a dove and rest on him.
33 Dā ban san shi ba, sai dai wanda ya aiko ni in yi baftisma da ruwa ya gaya mini cewa, ‘Mutumin da ka ga Ruhu ya sauko ya kuma zauna a kansa shi ne wanda zai yi baftisma da Ruhu Mai Tsarki.’
I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him – he it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 Na gani na kuma shaida cewa wannan Ɗan Allah ne.”
This I have seen myself, and I have declared my belief that he is the Son of God.”
35 Kashegari kuma Yohanna yana can tare da biyu daga cikin almajiransa.
The next day, when John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 Da ya ga Yesu yana wucewa, sai ya ce, “Ku ga, ga Ɗan Rago na Allah!”
he looked at Jesus as he passed and exclaimed, “There is the Lamb of God!”
37 Da almajiran nan biyu suka ji ya faɗi haka, sai suka bi Yesu.
The two disciples heard him say this, and followed Jesus.
38 Da juyewa, sai Yesu ya ga suna bin sa, sai ya tambaye, su ya ce, “Me kuke nema?” Suka ce, “Rabbi” (wato, “Malam”), “ina kake da zama?”
But Jesus turned around, and saw them following. “What are you looking for?” he asked. “Rabbi,” they answered (or, as we should say, ‘Teacher’), “where are you staying?”
39 Ya amsa musu ya ce, “Ku zo, za ku kuma gani.” Saboda haka suka je suka ga inda yake da zama, suka kuma zauna a can tare da shi. Wajen sa’a ta goma ce kuwa.
“Come, and you will see,” he replied. So they went, and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four in the afternoon.
40 Andarawus ɗan’uwan Siman Bitrus, yana ɗaya daga cikin biyun nan da suka bi Yesu bayan da suka ji maganar Yohanna a kan Yesu.
One of the two, who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 Abu na fari da Andarawus ya yi shi ne ya sami ɗan’uwansa Siman ya gaya masa cewa, “Mun sami Almasihu” (wato, Kiristi).
He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (a word which means ‘Christ,’ or ‘Consecrated’.)
42 Ya kuma kawo shi wurin Yesu. Yesu ya dube shi ya ce, “Kai ne Siman ɗan Yohanna. Za a ce da kai Kefas” (in an fassara, Bitrus ke nan).
Then he brought him to Jesus. Looking straight at him, Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of John; you will be called Cephas” (which means ‘Peter,’ or ‘Rock’).
43 Kashegari Yesu ya yanke shawara yă tafi Galili. Da ya sami Filibus sai ya ce masa, “Bi ni.”
The following day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip, and said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Filibus, kamar Andarawus da Bitrus shi ma daga garin Betsaida ne.
Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
45 Filibus ya sami Natanayel ya kuma gaya masa, “Mun sami wanda Musa ya rubuta game da shi a cikin Doka, kuma wanda annabawa suka rubuta a kansa, Yesu Banazare, ɗan Yusuf.”
He found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and of whom the prophets also wrote – Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph’s son!”
46 Natanayel ya ce, “A Nazaret! Wani abin kirki zai iya fito daga can?” Filibus ya ce, “Zo ka gani.”
“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” asked Nathanael. “Come and see,” replied Philip.
47 Da Yesu ya ga Natanayel yana zuwa, sai ya yi magana game da shi cewa, “Ga mutumin Isra’ila na gaske wanda ba shi da ha’inci.”
When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!”
48 Natanayel ya yi tambaya ya ce, “A ina ka san ni?” Yesu ya amsa ya ce, “Na gan ka yayinda kake a gindin itacen ɓaure, kafin Filibus yă kira ka.”
“How do you know me?” asked Nathanael. “Even before Philip called you,” replied Jesus, “when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Sai Natanayel ya ce, “Rabbi, kai Ɗan Allah ne. Kai ne Sarkin Isra’ila.”
“Rabbi,” Nathanael exclaimed, “you are the Son of God, you are king of Israel!”
50 Yesu ya ce, “Ka gaskata domin na ce maka na gan ka a gindin itacen ɓaure. Za ka ga abubuwan da suka fi haka.”
“Do you believe in me,” asked Jesus, “because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than those!
51 Sai ya ƙara da cewa, “Gaskiya nake gaya muku, za ku ga sama a buɗe, mala’ikun Allah kuma suna hawa suna kuma sauka a kan Ɗan Mutum.”
In truth I tell you,” he added, “you will all see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
