Jọn 1
1 Na mbụ okwu ahụ dịrịị, okwu ahụ na Chineke nọ, okwu ahụ bụkwa Chineke.
In the bigynnyng was the word, and the word was at God, and God was the word.
2 Ya na Chineke nọ site na mbụ.
This was in the bigynnyng at God.
3 E sitere na ya kee ihe niile, ọ dịghịkwa ihe ọbụla e kere eke nke a na-ekeghị site na ya.
Alle thingis weren maad bi hym, and withouten hym was maad no thing, that thing that was maad.
4 Nʼime ya ka ndụ dịrịị, ndụ ahụ bụkwa ìhè nye mmadụ niile,
In hym was lijf, and the lijf was the liyt of men; and the liyt schyneth in derknessis,
5 ìhè ahụ na-enwu nʼime ọchịchịrị, ma ọchịchịrị ahụ emenyụghị ya.
and derknessis comprehendiden not it.
6 Ọ dị otu nwoke Chineke zitere, aha ya bụ Jọn.
A man was sent fro God, to whom the name was Joon.
7 Ọ bịara dị ka onye akaebe ịgba ama banyere ìhè ahụ, ka mmadụ niile site nʼaka ya kwere.
This man cam in to witnessyng, that he schulde bere witnessing of the liyt, that alle men schulden bileue bi hym.
8 Ya onwe ya abụghị ìhè ahụ, ọ bịara naanị ịgba akaebe banyere ìhè ahụ.
He was not the liyt, but that he schulde bere witnessing of the liyt.
9 Ezi ìhè ahụ nke na-enye mmadụ ọbụla ìhè na-abịa nʼime ụwa.
There was a very liyt, which liytneth ech man that cometh in to this world.
10 Ọ bịara nʼụwa, ma ụwa bụ ihe e kere site nʼaka ya, ma ụwa amataghị onye ọ bụ.
He was in the world, and the world was maad bi hym, and the world knew hym not.
11 Ọ bịakwutere ihe ndị ahụ bụ ndị nke ya, ma ndị ahụ bụ ndị nke ya anabataghị ya.
He cam in to his owne thingis, and hise resseyueden hym not.
12 Ma ndị ahụ niile nabatara ya, ndị ahụ niile kweere nʼaha ya ka o nyere ike ịghọ ụmụ Chineke.
But hou many euer resseyueden hym, he yaf to hem power to be maad the sones of God, to hem that bileueden in his name; the whiche not of bloodis,
13 Ụmụ a na-amụghị site nʼọbara, maọbụ site na mkpebi nke anụ ahụ, ma ọ bụkwanụ mkpebi nke mmadụ, kama site na Chineke.
nether of the wille of fleische, nether of the wille of man, but ben borun of God.
14 Okwu ahụ ghọrọ anụ ahụ birikwa nʼetiti anyị. Anyị ahụla ebube ya, ebube nke onye naanị ya bụ Ọkpara Nna mụrụ, onye si nʼebe Nna nọ bịa, onye jupụtara nʼamara na eziokwu.
And the word was maad man, and dwellyde among vs, and we han seyn the glorie of hym, as the glorie of the `oon bigetun sone of the fadir, ful of grace and of treuthe.
15 Jọn gbara ama banyere ya mgbe ọ na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Onye a bụ onye ahụ m kwuru banyere ya, ‘Onye na-abịa m nʼazụ dị ukwuu karịa m, nʼihi na o bukwa m ụzọ dịrị.’”
Joon berith witnessyng of hym, and crieth, and seith, This is, whom Y seide, He that schal come aftir me, is maad bifore me, for he was tofor me;
16 Site nʼịba ụba nke amara ya, anyị niile anatala amara a tụkwasịrị nʼamara.
and of the plente of hym we alle han takun, and grace for grace.
17 Nʼihi na e nyere iwu site nʼaka Mosis, ma amara na eziokwu bịara site nʼaka Jisọs Kraịst.
For the lawe was youun bi Moises; but grace and treuthe `is maad bi Jhesu Crist.
18 Ọ dịbeghị onye ọbụla hụrụla Chineke, ma Chineke, onye naanị ya bụ Ọkpara Nna mụrụ. Onye ya na Nna dị na mma, emeela ka anyị mata ya.
No man sai euer God, no but the `oon bigetun sone, that is in the bosum of the fadir, he hath teld out.
19 Nke a bụ ịgba ama Jọn mgbe ndị ndu ndị Juu nọ na Jerusalem zipụrụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị ka ha bịa jụọ ya onye ọ bụ?
And this is the witnessyng of Joon, whanne Jewis senten fro Jerusalem prestis and dekenes to hym, that thei schulden axe hym, Who art thou?
20 O mechighị ọnụ ya, kama o kwupụtara sị, “Abụghị m Kraịst ahụ.”
He knoulechide, and denyede not, and he knoulechide, For Y am not Crist.
21 Mgbe ahụ ha jụrụ ya sị, “Ị bụkwanụ onye? Ị bụ Ịlaịja?” Ọ zara sị ha, “Abụghị m ya.” “Ị bụ Onye amụma ahụ?” “Mba.”
And thei axiden hym, What thanne? Art thou Elie? And he seide, Y am not. Art thou a profete? And he answeride, Nay.
22 Ha sịrị ya, “Ị bụ onye? Nye anyị ọsịsa anyị ga-eweghachiri ndị zitere anyị. Gịnị ka i kwuru banyere onwe gị?”
Therfor thei seiden to hym, Who art thou? that we yyue an answere to these that senten vs. What seist thou of thi silf?
23 Ọ sịrị, dịka Aịzaya onye amụma kwuru, “Abụ m onye na-eti mkpu nʼime ọzara, ‘Meenụ ka ụzọ Onyenwe anyị guzozie.’”
He seide, Y am a vois of a crier in deseert, Dresse ye the weie of the Lord, as Ysaie, the prophete, seide.
24 Ma ndị Farisii ahụ ezitere
And thei that weren sent, weren of the Fariseis.
25 jụrụ ya, sị, “Gịnị mere i ji na-eme baptizim ọ bụrụ na ị bụghị Kraịst maọbụ Ịlaịja, maọbụ onye amụma ahụ?”
And thei axiden hym, and seiden to hym, What thanne baptisist thou, if thou art not Crist, nether Elie, nether a profete?
26 Jọn zara ha sị, “Eji m mmiri na-eme baptizim, ma ọ dị otu onye nọ nʼetiti unu nke unu na-amaghị.
Joon answeride to hem, and seide, Y baptise in watir, but in the myddil of you hath stonde oon, that ye knowen not;
27 Onye ahụ nke na-abịa nʼazụ m, onye m na-erughị ịtọpụ eriri akpụkpọụkwụ ya.”
he it is, that schal come aftir me, that was maad bifor me, of whom Y am not worthi to louse the thwong of his schoo.
28 Ihe a mere na Betani nʼofe osimiri Jọdan bụ ebe Jọn nọ na-eme baptizim.
These thingis weren don in Bethanye biyende Jordan, where Joon was baptisyng.
29 Nʼechi ya, ọ hụrụ ka Jisọs na-abịakwute ya sị, “Leekwa, Nwa Atụrụ Chineke, onye na-ebupụ mmehie ụwa.
Anothir day Joon say Jhesu comynge to hym, and he seide, Lo! the lomb of God; lo! he that doith awei the synnes of the world.
30 Ọ bụ onye a ka m kwuru okwu ya mgbe ahụ m sịrị, ‘otu nwoke na-abịa nʼazụ m, onye dị ukwuu karịa m, nʼihi na o bukwa m ụzọ dịrị.’
This is he, that Y seide of, Aftir me is comun a man, which was maad bifor me; for he was rather than Y.
31 Mụ onwe m amataghị ya, ma a bịara m were mmiri na-eme baptizim nʼihi nke a, ka e kpughee ya nye ndị Izrel.”
And Y knew hym not, but that he be schewid in Israel, therfor Y cam baptisynge in watir.
32 Mgbe ahụ Jọn gbara ama a sị, “Ahụrụ m ka Mmụọ Nsọ sitere nʼeluigwe rịdata dị ka nduru, nọkwasị ya.
And Joon bar witnessyng, and seide, That Y saiy the spirit comynge doun as a culuer fro heuene, and dwellide on hym.
33 Mụ onwe m amabughị ya, ma onye ahụ zitere m ka m jiri mmiri mee baptizim kwuru, ‘Onye ahụ ị ga-ahụ, onye Mmụọ Nsọ ga-ebekwasị, ma nọgidekwa, ọ bụ ya ga-eji Mmụọ Nsọ mee baptizim.’
And Y knew hym not; but he that sente me to baptise in watir, seide to me, On whom thou seest the Spirit comynge doun, and dwellynge on hym, this is he, that baptisith in the Hooli Goost.
34 Mụ onwe m ahụla ya, na-agbakwa ama na onye a bụ Ọkpara Chineke.”
And Y say, and bar witnessyng, that this is the sone of God.
35 Nʼechi ya, Jọn na mmadụ abụọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya guzoro nʼebe ahụ ọzọ.
Anothir dai Joon stood, and tweyne of hise disciplis;
36 Mgbe ọ hụrụ Jisọs ka ọ na-agafe, ọ sịrị, “Leenụ, Nwa Atụrụ Chineke.”
and he biheeld Jhesu walkinge, and seith, Lo! the lomb of God.
37 Mgbe mmadụ abụọ ahụ na-eso ụzọ ya nụrụ nke a, ha tụgharịrị soro Jisọs.
And twei disciplis herden hym spekynge,
38 Mgbe Jisọs tụgharịrị hụ ka ha na-eso ya, ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị ka unu chọrọ?” Ha sịrị ya, “Rabbi” (nke pụtara “Onye ozizi”), “olee ebe i bi?”
and folewiden Jhesu. And Jhesu turnede, and say hem suynge hym, and seith to hem, What seken ye? And thei seiden to hym, Rabi, that is to seie, Maistir, where dwellist thou?
39 Ọ sịrị ha, “Bịanụ, unu ga-ahụ.” Ha sooro ya ga hụ ebe ọ na-anọ. Ha nọnyekwara ya ụbọchị ahụ niile. Ọ bụ nʼihe dị ka elekere anọ nke mgbede.
And he seith to hem, Come ye, and se. And thei camen, and sayn where he dwellide; and dwelten with hym that dai. And it was as the tenthe our.
40 Otu nʼime mmadụ abụọ ahụ nụrụ ihe Jọn kwuru, nke sooro ya bụ Andru nwanne Saimọn Pita.
And Andrewe, the brother of Symount Petir, was oon of the tweyne, that herden of Joon, and hadden sued hym.
41 Ihe mbụ o mere bụ ịchọta Saimọn nwanne ya sị ya, “Anyị achọtala Mezaya ahụ” (onye a na-akpọkwa Kraịst).
This foond first his brother Symount, and he seide to him, We han foundun Messias, that is to seie, Crist; and he ledde him to Jhesu.
42 Ọ kpọtaara ya Jisọs. O lere ya anya sị, “Ị bụ Saimọn nwa Jọn. A ga-akpọ gị Sefas” (nke nsụgharị ya, pụtara Pita).
And Jhesus bihelde hym, and seide, Thou art Symount, the sone of Johanna; thou schalt be clepid Cefas, that is to seie, Petre.
43 Nʼechi ya, o kpebiri ịga Galili. Mgbe ọ hụrụ Filip, ọ sịrị ya, “Soro m.”
And on the morewe he wolde go out in to Galilee, and he foond Filip; and he seith to hym, Sue thou me.
44 Filip bụ onye obodo Betsaida dị ka Andru na Pita.
Filip was of Bethsaida, the citee of Andrew and of Petre.
45 Filip chọtara Nataniel sị ya, “Anyị achọtala onye ahụ Mosis dere banyere ya nʼiwu, onye ndị amụma dekwara banyere ya, Jisọs onye Nazaret, nwa Josef.”
Filip foond Nathanael, and seide to hym, We han foundun Jhesu, the sone of Joseph, of Nazareth, whom Moyses wroot in the lawe and profetis.
46 Nataniel sịrị ya, “Ihe ọma ọbụla ọ pụrụ i si na Nazaret pụta?” Ma Filip sịrị ya, “Bịa ka ị hụrụ.”
And Nathanael seide to hym, Of Nazareth may sum good thing be?
47 Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ ka Nataniel na-abịaru ya nso, o kwuru sị, “Leenụ ezi nwa afọ Izrel onye aghụghọ na-adịghị nʼime ya.”
Filip seide to hym, Come, and se. Jhesus siy Nathanael comynge to hym, and seide to hym, Lo! verili a man of Israel, in whom is no gile.
48 Nataniel sịrị ya, “Olee otu i si mata onye m bụ?” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Tupu Filip akpọ gị, ahụlarị m gị ka ị nọ nʼokpuru osisi fiig.”
Nathanael seide to hym, Wherof hast thou knowun me? Jhesus `answerde, and seide to hym, Bifor that Filip clepide thee, whanne thou were vndur the fige tree, Y saiy thee. Nathanael answerde to hym,
49 Mgbe ahụ, Nataniel zaghachiri, “Onye ozizi, ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke; ị bụ eze Izrel.”
`and seide, Rabi, thou art the sone of God, thou art kyng of Israel.
50 Jisọs zara sị ya, “I kwere nʼihi na agwara m gị na ahụrụ m gị nʼokpuru osisi fiig? Ị ga-ahụ ihe dị ukwuu karịa nke a.”
Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, For Y seide to thee, Y sawy thee vndur the fige tre, thou bileuest; thou schalt se more than these thingis.
51 Ọ sịkwara ya, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, unu ga-ahụ eluigwe ka o meghere hụkwa ndị mmụọ ozi Chineke ka ha na-arịgokwuru, ma na-arịdakwuru Nwa nke Mmadụ.”
And he seide to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, ye schulen se heuene opened, and the aungels of God stiynge vp and comynge doun on mannys sone.
