Joni 1
1 Ese agafare Ke me'neane, higeno ana Kemo'a Anumzane me'ne, ana Kea e'i Anumzane.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Ese agafarera Agra Anumzane tragoteno mani'neane.
He was with God in the beginning.
3 Maka'zana Agrake'za tro hu'ne, hagi mago'zana ru kampintira fore osu'ne, makazana Agrake tro hu'ne.
Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.
4 Agripi asimura me'ne, hagi ana asimumo'a vahe'mofo Masa'e.
In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
5 Ana masamo'a hanizana remsa hunetreankino hanizamo'a agateore'ne.
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 Hagi mago nera Anumzamo huntegeno e'ne, Ana ne'mofo agi'a Joni'e.
There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.
7 Ana ne'ma e'neana, Masamofo naneke hanigu e'ne. Ana hanige'za naneke'a nentahiza zamentinti hugahaze.
He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.
8 Agra ana masa omani'ne, hanki ana masamofo naneke hu'ama hanigu e'ne.
He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
9 Agra tamage masamo ama mopafi maka vahe remsa huzmentesigu ne-e.
The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.
10 Ama mopafi Agra mani'ne, hagi Agra'a ama mopa tro hu'ne, hu'neanagi ama mopafi vahe'mo'za Agrira antahi'za ke'za osu'naze.
He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.
11 Agra'a vaheku huno e'ne, hianagi Agri vahe'mo'za ovare'naze.
He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
12 Hianagi iza'zo nevare'za Agri agifima zamentintima nehaza vahe'mokizmia, Agra'a hugnare hige'za Anumzamofo mofavre se'naze.
But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—
13 Hagi Anumzamofo mofavrema senazana arera afa zamesitero, vahe avesitero, neve avesitera forera osunazanki, Anumzamo zamazeri fore hu'ne.
children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
14 Ana Kemo vahe fore huteno, tagri'ene mani'ne. Agri masazama'a tagra ke'none, magoke ante'nea Ne'mo hanave'ane masa zama'ane Nefantegati e'ne. Asunku zamo'ene tamage kemo'a avite'nea Nere.
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Joni'a huama huno Agriku hu'ne. Agra kezatino amanage hu'ne, nagrama amama nehuana Agriku nehue, nagri namage'ma ne-emo'a, nagrira nagateretfa hu'ne. Na'ankure nagra fore osu'nogeno Agra pusante fore huno mani'neane.
John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”
16 Higeta tagra ana maka'mota hakare zana Agripi avitenefinti e'nerunkeno, asunku huranteno muse zama'a agumpi agumpi huno neramie.
From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.
17 Na'ankure kasegea Mosesempi tami'ne. Hagi asunku'zane tamage kea, Jisas Kraisimpi tami'ne.
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Mopafi vahe'mo'a magore huno Anumzana onketfa hu'ne. Anumzamofo mofavrea magoke mani'neno, Nafa'amofo asumpinka mani'ne, Agra'a Anumzana mani'neno huama hu'ne.
No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.
19 Hagi Jiu kva vahe'mo'za, mono kva pristi vahe'ene Livae vahera Jerusalemi kumateti huma zamantage'za Jonina antahigeku vu'za, Kagra azage? hu'za ome antahige'naze.
And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Antahigageno'a agra huama nehuno vahane osuno, huama huno, Nagra tamazahu nera Kraisi'na omani'noe.
He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”
21 Hige'za, hagi azaga mani'nane? Elaijago? hu'za hazageno, a'o, nagra Elaijana omani'noe huno hige'za, kagra kasnampa nero? hu'za antahigageno, agra kezmi nona huno, i'o huno hu'ne.
“Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
22 Hagi hurantagetama e'nona vahe ome zamasmisunku nehune. Azaga mani'nane huta kagrikura ome zamasmigahune? Kagragura azage hunka nehane?
So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 Hazageno Agra anage hu'ne, Mago Kezanke ka'ma mopafi mani'neno keza tino, Ramofo ka azeri ante fatgo hiho huno Aisaia kasnampa ne'mo korapa hunte'nea ne' mani'noe. (Ais 40:3.)
John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
24 Hu'zmantage'za e'naza Farisi vahe'mo'za,
Then the Pharisees who had been sent
25 zamagra antahige'za, amanage agriku hu'naze, kagra Kraisigafi, Elaijagafi, mago Kasnampa ne'ma omaninenka, nahigenka mono tina fre nezmantane?
asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
26 Joni'a kenona zamirera anage hu'ne, nagra amne tintfanteti mono tina frenermantoe. Hu'neanagi tamagri amunompina magora tamagra keta antahita osu'naza ne' oti'ne.
“I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
27 E'ima Agra nagri nmage'ma esanimofona Agri aga'nona knare osu'noankina katu ofegahue.
He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
28 Ana nanekea Betani kumara Jodani timofo asoparega Joni'ma mono tima frenezmanterega antahigazageno zmasami'ne.
All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Anante kotigeno Jisasi'a agrite egeno negeno, Joni'a amanage hu'ne, keho, Anumzamofo Sipisipi anentara, ama mopafi vahe'mokizmi kumira, Agra eri atregahie!
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 Ama'ne ana nera, Agriku'ma hu'na nagrama kema hu'noana, nagri namge'ma esnia nera, nagrira nagatereno ra agi eri'nea nere, nagra fore osu'nogeno, Agra korapa Agraragisa mani'nea nere.
This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’
31 Nagra antahi'na ke'na Agrira osu'noanagi, Israeli vahe'mo'za Agrira antahiza keza hanaze hu'na, nagra ena mono tina eme frezmante'noe.
I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”
32 Joni'a huama huno amanage hu'ne, Nagra kogeno Avamura maho namamo hiaza huno monafinti eramino Agrite emanige'na ke'noe.
Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.
33 Nagra ke'na antahi'na Agrira osu'noanagi, mono tima frezmanto huno'ma hunante'nea ne'mo'a anage huno nasmi'ne, kesnankenoma Avamumo'ma monafinkati'ma eramino Agrite'ma emani'nea ne'mo, Agra Ruotge Avamupina mono tina fre zamantegahie hu'ne.
I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
34 Nagrani'a kete'na, huama hu'na ama Anumzamofo mofavre hu'na neramasmue.
I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 Anante zupa Joni'a, amage'ma nenta'a disaipoli netrema'ane oti'neno,
The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
36 Jisasi'a ne-egeno Joni'a negeno amanage huno hu'ne, Keho, amu Anumzamofo Sipisipi anentare,
When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 anage hige'ne, Joni amagema nenta'a disaipol netremoke nentahi'ne, Jisasi amage'anteke vu'na'e.
And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
38 Jisasi'a amage'a nevakeno rukrahe huno neznageno, Na'anku nehakra'e? huno znantahigege'ne, Rempi hurami ne'moka inante Kagra nemanine? hu'ne antahigena'e.
Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”
39 Agra anage zanagriku hu'ne, E'netna tanagratani'a emege'o hige'ne, Agrane vuke nemania nonkuma omenege'ne ana zupa Agrane mani'nakeno, 4 kiloki hu'ne.
“Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
40 Hagi nanterana mago'mo Joni hiankema antahiteno Jisasi amage'ma vu'nea nera Endru'e, Saimon Pitana nefu'e.
Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.
41 Hagi Endru'a, Jisasima keteno pusante Endru'a nefu Saimoni keno, amanage huno asami'ne. Tagra hago Mesaiana hakreta erifore hu'none. (E'i ana agima eri rukrehe'ma hu'neana Kraisi'e hu'ne.)
He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).
42 Jisasinte Endru'a, Saimonina avreno vu'ne. Vigeno Jisasi'a negeno anage huno asmi'ne, Kagra Saimonige Joni nemofoga mani'nane, kagri kagi'a Sifasi'e hugahaze. (E'i ana agima eri rukrehe'ma hu'neana Pita'e hu'ne.)
Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).
43 Mseno kotigeno Jisasi'a Galili vunaku nehuno Filipi ome negeno, Nagri namage anto hu'ne.
The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”
44 Hanki Filipi'a Betsaidati ne' Andrune, Pitakiznia rankuma zani'areti nere.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
45 Filipi'a, Natanieli'e nehaza ne' kefore huteno amanage huno asmi'ne, Mosesi'ene kasnampa vahe'mo'zama avontafepima agenke'ama krente'naza Ne'ma, Nazareti kumateti Josefe nemofo Jisasi'e hu'naza nera hago hakreta erifore hu'none, huno asmi'ne.
Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46 Natanieli'a anage huno Filipina antahige'ne, Nazaretia knare'zana efore hugahio? Filipi'a anage hu'ne, kagraka'a enka emego.
“Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
47 Natanieli'a Agritega ne-egeno Jisasi'a negeno amanage hu'ne, Keho, tamage Israeli vahere agu'afina havige hu'zana omne'ne!
When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”
48 Natanieli'a Agriku anage hu'ne. Kagra inankna hunka nagrira nage'nane? Jisasi'a ke'nona huno amanage hu'ne, Filipi'a kagi osu'negenka fiki zafa agafafi mani'nanke'na ko kage'noe.
“How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
49 Higeno Natanieli'a Agri ke'nona amanage hu'ne, Hurami nere, Kagra fatgo hunka Anumzamofo nemofoga mani'nane. Kagra Israeli vahe'mokizmi Kini nere.
“Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 Higeno, Jisasi'a ke'are anage huno asmi'ne, Na'ankure Nagrama hu'na fiki zafa agafafi mani'nanke'na kage'noema huazanku kamentinti nehano? Henka'a agatere'neaza ruzahu'za kagra kegahane.
Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.”
51 Higeno Jisasi'a mago'ane amanage huno Natanielina asami'ne, Tamagerafa hu'na Nagra kagrira negasamue, kagra negesankeno mona kafamo'a anagisigeno, Anumzamofo ankero zagamo'za, Vahe'mofo Mofavrere mareriza tamiza nehanigenka kegahane.
Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
