uYohana 1
1 Ung'wandyo ai lukoli lukani, nu lukani ai latulaa palung'wi ni Itunda, nu lukani ai latulaa Itunda.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Uyu, u lukani, Ung'wandyo ai watulaa palung'wi ni Itunda.
He was in the beginning with God.
3 I intu yihi ai itumilwe ku ng'wenso, ni anga ihite kutula ng'wenso kutili ga ni kintu king'wi nai katulaa kitumilwe.
All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
4 Mukati akwe ai ukoli u upanga, nu uwo upanga ai watulaa welu nu a ana adamu ihi.
In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
5 Welu welyaa mu kiti, ang'wi i kiti shanga ukaulimisa.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
6 Ai ukoli u muntu nai ulagiigwe kupuma kung'wa Itunda, niiza ilina ni lakwe ai watulaa Yohana.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Ai wazile anga mukuiili kukiila kutula uwo u welu, iti kina ihi ahume kuhuiila kukiila ng'wenso.
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 U Yohona shanga ai uwo u welu, ila ai uzile iti wakuiile kutula uwo u welu.
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 Iyo ai ayulaa welu nua tai naza utuile uzile mu ihi ni nyenso wimuikila welu kila u ng'wi.
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 Ai watulaa mihi, ni ihi ai iumbilwe kukiila ng'wenso, ni ihi shanga ai limumanyile.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
11 Ai uzile ku intu ni akwe, ni antu ni akwe shanga ikamusingiilya.
He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
12 Ila ku awo ni idu nai amusingiiye, naza alihuiie i lina ni lakwe, ku awo ai uikiiye tai ane ni akutula ana ang'wi Itunda.
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,
13 Naza aleilwe shanga ku sakami, ang'wi ku ulowa nua muili, ang'wi ku ulowa nua muntu, ila kung'wi Itunda mukola.
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Nu ng'wenso u lukani ai wizipiilye muili hangi akikie mukati itu, ka wihengilee ikulyo ni lakwe, ikulyo anga ni la muntu nu ing'wene nua kinyena nai uzile kupuma kung'wa Tata, wizue ukende nua tai.
And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 U Yohana ai ukuiie kutula ung'wenso, nu kitunta ku luli azeligitya, “Uyu yuyoo niza niligitya i nkani niakwe nizeligitya, “Uyo nuzile ze yakilaa unene inge Mukulu kukila unene, kunsoko iiza ukoli ze ikili unene”.
John testified about him and shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
16 Kunsoko kupuma mu ukondaniili nu akwe, usese kihi kusingiiye nankanda u uhumi ze yakilaa nia uhumi.
For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
17 Kunsoko ilagiilyo ai liletilwe kukiila Musa, u ukende ni tai ai izile kukiila Yesu Kristo.
For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Kutili u ng'wana adamu nai umihengile Itunda matungo ihi, muntu wing'wene niiza inge Itunda, nuili mu kikua kang'wa Tata, umizipilye ung'wenso wamanyike.
No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
19 Nu uwu wuwu ukuiili nuang'wa Yohana matungo i Akuhani ni Alawi nai alagiigwe kitalakwe ni Ayahudi kumukolya “uewe inge nyenyu?”.
And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
20 Bila kisinsila hangi shanga ai uhitile, ila ai usukiiye, “Unene shanga Kristo”.
And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Christ."
21 Uu gwa akamokolya, “ku lulo uewe inge nyenyu itungili?” Uewe inge Eliya? Akaligitya, “Unene shanga” Akaligitya, uewe inge munyakidagu? Akasukiila “A aa”.
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
22 Uu gwa akamuila, “uewe inge nyenyu iti kina kuinkiilye isusho naza akulaagiye? Ukikuiila uli uewe mukola?”
They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
23 Akaligitya, “Unene inge luli nu lakwe nui lilaa muwii, “Migooli i nzila a mukulu! anga munyakidagu Isaya nai uligitilye.”
He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
24 Uu gwa ai akoli ni antu alagiigwe kupuma pang'wanso kupuma ku Afalisayo. Akamukolya nu kuligitya,
(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
25 : ku niki ukoja gwa angize uewe shanga wi Kilisto ang'wi Eliya ang'wi munyakidagu?
And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
26 uYohana ai uasukiiye azeligitya: Nukoja ku mazi, Ga ni iti, mukati anyu wimikile muntu ni shanga mumulingile.
John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
27 Uyu yuyo nupembilye ze yakilaa unene, Unene ni mugila uhumi nuakutolya i mikoha a ilatu niakwe,
He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
28 Makani aya ai atulikile uko ku Bethania, itumbi nila Yordani, kianza naiza uYohani ukoli ukoja.
These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Luhiku nai lutyatile uYohana akamihenga uYesu upembilye kung'waakwe akaligitya, Goza ung'waa nkolo wang'wa Itunda nuiuhola umulandu nua unkumbigulu!
The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
30 uyu yuyo naindigitilye inkani niakwe nizeligitya, Nuanso nupembilye kituli kane inge mukulu kukila unene, kunsoko ai watuile zeikili unene,
This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
31 Shanga ai numulingile ung'wenso, kuiti aiitulikile nanso kina akunukulwe mukati a Israeli, kina ainzile nikazeoja ku mazi,
I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
32 uYohana ai ukuiie, “Ai nihengile uNg'wau Ng'welu ukusima kupuma kilunde mpyani a nkuni nu kusiga migulya akwe.
And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 Unene shanga ai numulingile, kuiti nuanso nai undagiiye iti noje ku mazi ai untambuie, “uyo nize ukihenga Ug'wau Ng'welu ukusima nu kikie migilya akwe, Nuanso yuyo nuojaa ku Ng'wau Ng'walu,
And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
34 Nihengaa nu kukuiila kina uyu ige ng'wana wang'wa Itunda,”
And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
35 Hangi luhiku nai lutyatile uYohana aiukoli wimikile nia manyisigwa akwe abiili,
Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 ai amihengile uYesu ukugenda nu Yohana akaligitya, “Goza, uNng'waa nkolo nuang'wa Itunda”
and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
37 Amanyisigwa abiili ai amigulye uYohana ukuligitya aya akamutyata uYesu.
And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
38 Hangi uYesu ai upilukile nu kuihenga iamanyisigwa awo amutyatile, nu kuaila, “Muloilwe ntuni?” Akamusukiilya, Rabbi, ( ndogoelyo akwe ng'walimu; ) wikiee pii?”
And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
39 Aka atambuila, “pembyi nu kihenga. “Uugwa ai alongoe nu kihenga i kianza nai wikiee; akikie palung'wi nu ng'wenso u luhiku nulanso, kunsoko aiyatulaa yapikiila saa ikumi iti.
He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
40 Ung'wi nua awo ni abiili nai amigulye uYohana ukutambula ni uugwa kumutyata uYesu ai utuile inge Andrea, muluna akwe uSimoni Petro.
One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 Akamihenga muluna akwe uSimioni nu kumutambuila,”Kamulijaa uMasihi” (niiza impyanigwe Kristo).
He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Christ).
42 Akamuleta kung'wa Yesu. uYesu akamugoza nu kuligitya, Uewe wi Simioni ng'wana wang'wa Yohana” wikitangwa Kefa” ( ndogoelyo akwe 'Ptro')
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated, Peter).
43 Luhiku nai lutyatile itungo uYesu nai wahia kuhega kulongola kuGalilaya, ai umuligilye uFilipo nu kumuila, “Ntyate unene.”
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
44 uFilipo aiwatulaa mukola ihi nua kuBethasaida, kisali kang'wa Adrea nu Petro.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 uFilipo ai umuligilye uNathanaeli nu kumuila, Kamulijaa uyo naiza uMusa ukilisilye inkani niakwe mu malagiilyo nu Unyakidagu, Yesu ng'wana awng'wa Yusufu, kupuma kuNazareti.
Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
46 uNathanaeli akamuila, ''Itii kintu ni kiziza kihumile kupembelya kuNazareti?” uFilipo akamuila, “Nzuu nu kihenga.”
And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
47 uYesu akaamihenga uNathanaeli upembilye kung'waakwe nu kuligitya, “Goza uMuisraeli tai taai ni mugila u ukongelwa mukati akwe”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
48 uNathanaeli akamuila, “Uningile kinyauli unene?” uYesu akamusukiilya nu kumuila, Aza ikili uFilipo kuitanga naza ukoli pihi pi ikota, aza nakihengaa.”
Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
49 uNahanaeli akasukiilya, “Rabi uewe wi Ng'wana wang'wa Itunda Uewe wi Mutemi nua Israeli”
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
50 uYesu akasukiilya akamuila, Kunsoko nukuiie aza 'nukihengile pihi i kota' itii wahuiila? ukihenga ntendo nkulu kukila izi.”
Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
51 uYesu akaligitya, “Huiili huiili kumuili mikihenga ilunde likuluguka, nu kuihenga iamalaika akunankila nu kusima migulya a Ng'wana wang'wa Adamu.”
And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
