John 1
1 Ahoubada Wahei adu leirammi; Wahei adu Tengban Mapuga leiminnarammi amasung Wahei adu Tengban Mapu oirammi.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Hek houba adudagi houna Wahei adu Tengban Mapuga leiminnarammi.
He was in the beginning with God.
3 Ibungo mahakki mapanna Tengban Mapuna pot pumnamak sembikhi; Ibungo mahak yaodana semkhiba khutsem amata leite.
All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being.
4 Ibungoda hingba leirammi aduga hingba aduna misinggi mangal oirammi.
In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men.
5 Mangal aduna amambada ngalle aduga amamba aduna mangal adubu ngamde.
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
6 Tengban Mapuna thabirakpa John kouba mi ama leirammi.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Mi khudingmak mahakki mapanna thajaraknaba, mahakna misingda mangal adugi maramda hainaba lakpani.
He came as a witness, in order that he might give testimony concerning the Light--so that all might believe through him.
8 Mahak masamakti mangal adu natte adubu mahakti mangal adugi maramda hainanaba lakpani.
He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.
9 Mi khudingmakta mangal pibiba achumba mangal adu taibangpanda laklammi.
The true Light was that which illumines every man by its coming into the world.
10 Wahei adu taibangpanda leirammi, aduga Mapu Ibungona taibangpan asi Ibungo mahakki mapanna sembikhiba oirabasu, taibangpannadi Ibungo mahakpu khanglamde.
He was in the world, and the world came into existence through Him, and the world did not recognize Him.
11 Ibungo mahakna masagi oiba maphamda laklammi adubu mahakmakki misingna Ibungobu lousillamde.
He came to the things that were His own, and His own people gave Him no welcome.
12 Adubu mi kharanadi Ibungobu lousinjarammi amadi Ibungobu thajarammi; maram aduna Ibungona makhoida Tengban Mapugi machasing oinaba matik pibire.
But all who have received Him, to them--that is, to those who trust in His name--He has given the privilege of becoming children of God;
13 Makhoina Tengban Mapugi machasing oirakpa asi mama mapana nattraga mioibagi apambana nattraga mapuroibagi warepna pokpiba adugumba natte adubu Mapu Ibungona pokpibani.
who were begotten as such not by human descent, nor through an impulse of their own nature, nor through the will of a human father, but from God.
14 Wahei aduna sayollaktuna thoujal amadi achumbana pik thanduna eikhoigi irakta leibirare. Aduga eikhoina Ibungo mahakki matik mangal haibadi Mapagi amatta ngairaba Macha oibagi matik mangal adu ujare.
And the Word came in the flesh, and lived for a time in our midst, so that we saw His glory--the glory as of the Father's only Son, sent from His presence. He was full of grace and truth.
15 John-na Ibungo mahakki maramda hairammi. Mahakna houna hairak-i, “‘Ibungona eigi tungda lengbirakli adubu Ibungo mahakti eina poktringeida hannana leirabani maram asina Ibungona eingondagi henna chao-i,’ haina eina nakhoida haikhiba Ibungo mahak adu asini.”
John gave testimony 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 Athanba thoujalgi pukkei oiriba Ibungo mangondagi yaipha thoujal amagi mathakta yaipha thoujal ama eikhoi pumnamakna phangjare.
For He it is from whose fulness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
17 Wayel Yathangdi Moses-ki mapanna pibibani adubu thoujal amasung achumbadi Jisu Christtagi mapanna lakpani.
For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Mi kana amatana Tengban Mapubu kheidounungdasu ukhidri. Adubu Mapaga yamna naknana leiriba amatta ngairaba Machanupa Mapu Ibungona Ibungo mahakpu phongdokle.
No human eye has ever seen God: the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom--He has made Him known.
19 Jerusalem-da leiba Jihudisingna, John-bu kanano haina hangnaba purohitsing amasung Levi-singbu John-gi manakta tharaklammi.
This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him who he was.
20 Mahakna paokhum piningdaba touramde aduga i-phong phongna sengna hairak-i, “Eidi Christta adu natte.”
He avowed--he did not conceal the truth, but avowed, "I am not the Christ."
21 Maduda makhoina hanglak-i, “Adu oirabadi nahak kanano? Nahak Elijah-ra?” John-na khumlak-i, “Ei natte.” Adudagi makhoina hanglak-i, “Adudi Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpa maichou ama lakkani haibadu nahakla?” Mahakna khumlak-i, “Natte”
"What then?" they inquired; "are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.
22 Aroibada makhoina hairak-i, “Adu oirabadi nahak kanano haibasi eikhoida haibirak-u. Eikhoibu tharakpa makhoising aduda tamlunaba nahakna paokhum amadi pibiyu. Nahakna nasagi maramda kari haijabage?”
So they pressed the question. "Who are you?" they said--"that we may take an answer to those who sent us. What account do you give of yourself?"
23 Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpa maichou Isaiah-gi waheising sijinnaduna John-na paokhum pirak-i: “Lamjao lamhangda laoriba kanagumba amagi khonjel adu eini: ‘MAPU IBUNGO mahakna chatnanaba lambi adu chumhallu!’”
"I am the voice," he replied, "of one crying aloud, 'Make straight the Lord's way in the Desert,' fulfilling the words of the Prophet Isaiah."
24 Pharisee kharasu John-gi maphamda tharak-i,
They were Pharisees who had been sent.
25 makhoina John-da hanglak-i, “Nahak Christta adusu Elijah adusu Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpa maichou adusu nattrabadi karigi nahakna baptize touribano?”
Again they questioned him. "Why then do you baptize," they said, "if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?"
26 Maduda John-na khumlak-i, “Einadi isingda baptize tou-i adubu nakhoina khangdaba kanagumba ama nakhoigi narakta lepli.
"I baptize in water only," John answered, "but in your midst stands One whom you do not know--
27 Ibungo mahakna eigi tungda lakli aduga eidi Ibungo mahakki sandal mari louthokpa phaoba matik chade.”
He who is to come after me, and whose sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten."
28 John-na baptize toubiba mapham Jordan turen-gi nongpok thangba wangmada leiba Bethany-da masigi thoudok asi thokkhibani.
This conversation took place at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Mathanggi numitta Jisuna John-gi manakta lakpadu ure maduda John-na hairak-i, “Yeng-u, taibangpanbagi pappu pubiduna louthokpiba Tengban Mapugi Yaomacha adu!
The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed, "Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin of the world!
30 Ibungo asigi maramdani eina haikhibadu, ‘Kanagumba ama eigi tungda lengbirakli, Ibungo mahakti eina poktringeidagi hannana leirabani maramsina Ibungona eingondagi henna chao-i.’
This is He about whom I said, 'After me is to come One who has been put before me, because He was before me.'
31 Einadi Ibungobu kanano haiba khanglamde adubu eina isingda baptize toubasi Ibungo mahakpu Israel-da phongdoknabani.”
I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water."
32 Adudagi John-na sakhi asi pirammi: “Thawai aduna swargadagi khunugumna lengtharaktuna Ibungoda leiba adu eina ure.
John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him.
33 Eibu isingda baptize tounaba thabiba Ibungo mahakna eingonda, ‘Thawai aduna kanagumba amagi mathakta lengtharaktuna leiba nahakna ugani; mahak aduna Thawai Asengbada baptize toubigani,’ haina haibiramdrabadi eina Ibungo mahakpu khanglamloidabani.
I did not yet know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, "'The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down, and remaining, He it is who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
34 Eina madumak ujare aduga Ibungo mahak asi Tengban Mapugi Machanupani haina eina nakhoida hairi.”
"This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is the Son of God."
35 Mathanggi numitta John-na mahakki tung-inba aniga loinana leptuna leirammi.
Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 Jisuna mapham aduda chatpadu ubada mahakna hairak-i, “Yeng-u, Tengban Mapugi Yaomacha adu.”
when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, "Look! that is the Lamb of God!"
37 John-na haiba adu mahakki tung-inba aniduna tarabada makhoina Jisugi matung induna chatkhirammi.
The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.
38 Jisuna leithorakpada makhoina mahakki tung illakliba adu ure maduda Ibungona hanglak-i, “Nakhoi kari pambage?” Maduda makhoina khumlak-i, “Rabbi” (Masigi wahanthokti “Oja Ibungo” haibani), “Ibungo nahak kadaida leibibage?”
Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, "What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--'Rabbi' means 'Teacher' --"where are you staying?"
39 Ibungona khumlak-i, “Lak-u aduga nakhoina u-gani.” (Matam adu numit yungba matung pung marimuk tabada oirammi.) Maram aduna makhoina Ibungoga loinana chattuna Ibungona leiba mapham adu ujare aduga numit aduma makhoina Ibungoga loinana leiminnarammi.
"Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him. It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.
40 John-na haiba adu taduna Jisugi tung inkhiba makhoi anigi marakta amadi Simon Peter-gi manao Andrew-ni.
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John's exclamation and followed Jesus.
41 Andrew-na ihan hanna mahakki mayamba Simon-bu thiraga mangonda hairammi, “Eikhoina Messiah adu phangjare.” (Madudi “Christta” haibani)
He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" --that is to say, the Anointed One.
42 Adudagi mahakna Simon-bu Jisugi manakta purakle. Jisuna Simon-da yenglaga hairak-i, “Nahakti John-gi machanupa Simon-ni, adubu nahakki naming Cephas kougani.” (Masigi wahanthokti “Peter” haibani.)
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas" --that is to say, Peter (or 'Rock').
43 Mathanggi numitta Galilee-da Jisuna chatke leple. Ibungona Philip-pu thengnarabada mangonda hairak-i, “Eigi itung illak-u!”
The next day, having decided to leave Bethany and go into Galilee, Jesus found Philip, and invited him to follow Him.
44 (Andrew amadi Peter-gumna Philip-su Bethsaida sahardagini.)
(Now Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.)
45 Philip-na Nathanael-bu phanglabada mangonda hairammi, “Moses-na Wayel Yathangda amasung Mapu Ibungogi wa phongdokpa maichousingnasu ibiramba mahak adu eikhoina phangle. Mahak adudi Joseph-ki machanupa, Nazareth-ki Jisuni.”
Then Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him about whom Moses in the Law wrote, as well as the Prophets--Jesus, the son of Joseph, a man of Nazareth."
46 Nathanael-na hanglak-i, “Nazareth-tagibu karigumba aphaba thorakpa ngambra?” Maduda Philip-na khumlak-i, “Laktuna yeng-u.”
"Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" replied Nathanael. "Come and see," said Philip.
47 Mahakki manakta Nathanael-na lakpadu urabada Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Mapham asida tasengba Israel-gi mi ama leire; mangonda lounamba leite.”
Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, and said of him, "Look! here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceitfulness!"
48 Nathanael-na Ibungoda hanglak-i, “Ibungona eibu karamna khangbibage?” Maduda Jisuna paokhum pirak-i, “Philip-na nahakpu koudringeida, nahakna heiyit pambi makhada leiba matam aduda eina nangbu ure.”
"How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you."
49 Nathanael-na khumlak-i, “Oja Ibungo, nahak Tengban Mapugi Machanupa aduni! Nahak Israel-gi Ningthouni!”
"Rabbi," cried Nathanael, "you are the Son of God, you are Israel's King!"
50 Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna heiyit pambi makhada leiringeida eina nangbu ure haina eina nangonda haibagi maramna nahakna thajaribra? Masidagi henna chaoba thabaksing nahakna ukhigani.”
"Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig-tree,'" replied Jesus, "do you believe? You shall see greater things than that."
51 Adudagi Ibungona makha tarak-i, “Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairiba asini, swarga hangdokpa amadi Tengban Mapugi dutsingna Migi Machanupa adugi mathakta kakhat khumtha touba adu nakhoina ugani.”
"I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to the Son of Man."
