John 1
1 Shuru te Kotha asele, aru Kotha to Isor logote thakise, aru Kotha he Isor ase.
Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi, uLizwi wayeloNkulunkulu, njalo uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu.
2 Etu shuru pora Isor logote he thakise.
WayeloNkulunkulu ekuqaleni.
3 Sob jinis Tai pora he bonaise, aru ki bonaise Tai nathaki kene eku bhi bona nai.
Izinto zonke zenziwa ngaye; ngaphandle kwakhe kube akukho okwenziwayo.
4 Tai logote jibon asele, aru jibon to manu khan laga pohor asele.
Kwakukhona ukuphila kuye, lokho kuphila kwakuyikukhanya kwabantu.
5 Aru pohor to andhera te ujala korise, aru andhera to pohor ke jitibo para nai.
Ukukhanya kukhanya emnyameni, kodwa umnyama awukakuzwisisi.
6 Isor pora pathai diya ekjon manu asele, jun laga naam John thakise.
Kwafika umuntu ethunywe nguNkulunkulu, ibizo lakhe wayenguJohane.
7 Tai gawahi hoi ahise, pohor laga kotha jonai dibole, aru sob Tai dwara biswas kori bole.
Weza njengomfakazi ezoqinisa mayelana lalokho kukhanya ukuze kuthi ngaye bonke abantu bakholwe.
8 John nijor to pohor nohoi, kintu tai pohor laga gawahi dibole ahise.
Yena qobo lwakhe wayengesi lokho kukhanya; weza nje njengomfakazi wokukhanya lokho.
9 Sob manu ke pohor dibole asol pohor duniya te ahi thakise.
Ukukhanya okuliqiniso okunika ukukhanya emuntwini wonke kwakusiza emhlabeni.
10 Tai duniya te thakisele, aru Tai he duniya bonaise, kintu duniya pora Taike janibo para nai.
Wayesemhlabeni, kodwa lanxa umhlaba wenziwa ngaye, umhlaba kawumazanga.
11 Tai nijor manu khan majote ahise, kintu Tai nijor manu khan pora Taike luwa nai.
Weza kulokho okwakungokwakhe, kodwa khona kakumemukelanga.
12 Kintu jiman jon pora Taike grohon korise, Tai he taikhan ke Isor laga bacha hobole adhikar dise, jun Tai naam pora biswas kori loise.
Ikanti kulabo bonke abamamukelayo, kulabo abakholwayo ebizweni lakhe, wabapha ilungelo lokuba ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu,
13 Taikhan jonom to khun pora bhi nohoi, mangso pora bhi nohoi, aru mangso itcha pora bhi nohoi, kintu Isor laga itcha pora ase.
abantwana abangazalwanga ngokwemvelo, kumbe ngokukhetha komuntu, loba ngokufuna kwendoda kodwa bezelwe nguNkulunkulu.
14 Aru Kotha to gaw mangso hoi kene amikhan majote thakise. Amikhan Tai laga mohima dikhise, eneka mohima juntu Baba pora tai laga ekjon morom thaka Putro ke dise, aru etu anugraha aru hosa pora bhorta ase.
ULizwi waba yinyama, wahlala phakathi kwethu. Siyibonile inkazimulo yakhe; inkazimulo yeNdodana eyiyo yodwa, eyavela kuYise, igcwele umusa leqiniso.
15 John pora Tai laga gawahi dikene eneka koise, “Etu he ekjon ase Jun nimite moi koise, ‘Jun moi laga piche ahi ase, Tai to moi pora bhi bisi dangor ase, kelemane moi laga age pora Tai thakise.’”
UJohane wafakaza ngayo. Wamemeza esithi, “Lo nguye engangikhuluma ngaye ngisithi, ‘Lowo oza ngemva kwami usengedlule ngoba wayevele ephambi kwami.’”
16 Aru Tai bhorta hoi thaka pora amikhan anugraha uporte anugraha paise.
Ngenxa yokujula komusa wakhe sonke sesamukele umusa emuseni esasivele siwuphiwe.
17 Kelemane niyom to Moses dwara anidise. Kintu anugraha aru hosa to Jisu Khrista pora he anise.
Ngoba umthetho walethwa ngoMosi; umusa leqiniso kweza ngoJesu Khristu.
18 Isor ke kun bhi kitia bhi dikha nai. Ekjon Isor, jun Baba laga usorte bohi ase, etu ke he Tai dikhai dise.
Kakho osewake wambona uNkulunkulu, kodwa iNdodana eyiyo yodwa, yona enguNkulunkulu njalo eseceleni eduze kukaYise, isimenze waziwa.
19 John laga gawahi etu ase, Yehudi khan Jerusalem sheher pora Levi dol laga purohit khan ke pathaise taike hudibole, “Apuni kun ase?”
Lobu yibo ubufakazi bukaJohane lapho abakhokheli bamaJuda aseJerusalema abathuma khona abaphristi labaLevi ukuyambuza ukuthi wayengubani.
20 Tai shikar kori kene koise- “Moi Khrista nohoi.”
Kehlulekanga ukuzichaza, kodwa wazichaza ekhululekile wathi, “Kangisuye uKhristu.”
21 Aru taikhan hudise, “Nohoile apuni kun ase? Apuni Elijah ase?” Tai koise, “Moi nohoi.” Taikhan koise, “Apuni bhabobadi ase?” Aru tai jawab dise, “Nohoi.”
Bambuza bathi, “Pho ungubani na? Ungu-Elija yini?” Wathi, “Kangisuye.” “Ungumphrofethi na?” Waphendula wathi, “Hatshi.”
22 Arubi taikhan taike hudise, “Apuni kun ase? Kilekoile amikhan ke pathai diya khan ke jowab dibo lage. Apuni nijorke kun ase koi?”
Bacina ngokuthi, “Ungubani? Siphe impendulo esizayisa kulabo abasithumileyo. Uzibiza ngokuthi ungubani na?”
23 Tai koise, “Ami ekta awaj ase, juntu jongol te hala kori koi ase: ‘Probhu laga rasta sidha koribi,’ Jineka bhabobadi Isaiah pora likhise.”
UJohane wabaphendula ngamazwi ka-Isaya umphrofethi wathi, “Ngiyilizwi lalowo omemezayo enkangala lisithi, ‘Lungiselani iNkosi indlela iqonde.’”
24 Aru ta te Pharisee khan pora kunba manu khan ke pathaise.
Kwasekusithi abaFarisi ababethunyiwe
25 Aru taikhan taike hudise, “Jodi apuni Khrista nohoi, Elijah bhi nohoi, aru bhabobadi bhi nohoi, to kele apuni baptizma di ase?”
bambuza bathi, “Kungani pho ubhaphathiza nxa ungasuye uKhristu, kumbe u-Elija loba umphrofethi na?”
26 John taikhan ke jawab dise aru koise, “Moi pani pora baptizma di thaka he ase. Kintu tumikhan majote ekjon khara ase, Junke tumikhan najane.
UJohane waphendula wathi, “Mina ngibhaphathiza ngamanzi, kodwa phakathi kwenu kumi elingamaziyo.
27 Jun moi pichete ahi ase moi Tai laga juta laga rusi bhi khuli bole layak manu nohoi.”
Nguye lowo ozayo ngemva kwami, mina engingafanelanga ukuthukulula imichilo yamanyathela akhe.”
28 Etu sob to Jordan nodi laga dusra phale thaka Bethany te hoise, kun to jagate John baptizma di thakise.
Konke lokhu kwenzeka eBhethani ngaphetsheya kweJodani lapho uJohane ayebhaphathiza khona.
29 Dusra dinte Jisu tai logote ahi thaka dikhikena John koise, “Sabi, Isor laga Mer bacha, kun pora etu duniya laga paap uthai loi jabole ase!
Ngelanga elilandelayo uJohane wabona uJesu esiza kuye wathi, “Khangelani, nanti iWundlu likaNkulunkulu elisusa isono somhlaba!
30 Etu he ase, Kun laga kotha moi age pora koi dise, ‘Ekjon ami laga piche ahi ase, Jun he moi pora bhi dangor ase, kelemane moi pora poila Tai thakisele.’
Nguye lo engangimutsho ngize ngithi, ‘Umuntu ozayo ngemva kwami usengedlule ngoba wayevele ephambi kwami.’
31 Moi bhi Taike najane. Kintu Israel manu khan logot Taike prokahit kori dibo karone moi pani pora baptizma di ahise.”
Mina ngokwami bengingamazi, kodwa okwenze ngeza ngibhaphathiza ngamanzi kwakuyikwenzela ukuthi abonakaliswe ku-Israyeli.”
32 Aru John etu gawahi dikene koise, “Atma he paro nisena sorgo pora ahikena Tai uporte bohi juwa moi dikhise.
UJohane waseletha lobubufakazi: “Ngabona uMoya esehla evela ezulwini enjengejuba wahlala phezu kwakhe.
33 Moi Taike najane kintu Jun he moike pani pora baptizma dibole pathaise, Tai he moike koise, ‘Jun uporte Atma ahi thaki juwa tumi dikhibo, Tai he Pobitro Atma pora baptizma dibo thaka to ase.’
Lami uqobo lwami ngangingamazi, kodwa lowo owangithumayo ukubhaphathiza ngamanzi wathi, ‘Lowomuntu ozabona uMoya usehla uhlala kuye nguye kanye ozabhaphathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.’
34 Aru moi etu dikhi kene gawahi di ase, etu he Isor laga Putro ase.”
Sengibonile yikho sengifakaza ukuthi lo ungoKhethiweyo kaNkulunkulu.”
35 Dusra dinte John pora tai laga duijon chela ke loi kene khara thakise.
Ngelanga elilandelayo uJohane wayekhonapho, elabafundi bakhe ababili.
36 Titia Jisu berai kene aha dikhi kene tai koise, “Sabi, Isor laga Mer bacha!”
Wathi ebona uJesu esedlula lapho wathi, “Khangelani, nanti iWundlu likaNkulunkulu!”
37 Titia duijon chela etu huni kene Jisu laga piche korise.
Abafundi ababili labo bathi bekuzwa lokhu basebelandela uJesu.
38 Titia Jisu ghuri saise aru tai duijon ke dikhi kene hudise, “Tumikhan ke ki lage?” Taikhan koise, “Rabbi, Apuni kot te thaki ase? - Etu motlob to Shika manu- Apuni kot te thake?”
UJesu wathi enyemukula wababona bemlandela, wababuza wathi, “Lifunani na?” Bathi, “Rabi” (okutsho ukuthi “Mfundisi”), “uhlala ngaphi?”
39 Tai koise, “Ahi kene sabi.” Taikhan jai kene Tai kot te thaki ase etu dikhise, aru etu din Tai logote thaki jaise, aru etu somoi to dos ghanta nisena asele.
Waphendula wathi, “Wozani, lizabona.” Ngakho bahamba bayabona lapho ayehlala khona, batshona laye mhlalokho. Kwakungaba lihola letshumi.
40 Duijon majote kun John laga kotha huni kene Jisu logote jaise, etu ekjon to Simon Peter laga bhai Andrew thakise.
U-Andreya, umfowabo kaSimoni Phethro wayengomunye wababili abezwayo okwakukhulunywa nguJohane njalo abayibo abalandela uJesu.
41 Tai Simon ke bisari kene koise, “Amikhan Messiah ke pai loise,” motlob ase Khrista.
Into yokuqala ayenzayo u-Andreya yikudinga umfowabo uSimoni wamtshela wathi, “Sesimfumene uMesiya” (okutsho uKhristu).
42 Aru taike loi kene Jisu logot anise, aru Jisu taike saikene koise, “O Jonah laga Putro Simon, tumike Kefa matibo” - dusra naam ase Peter.
Wasemletha kuJesu. UJesu wamkhangela wathi, “UnguSimoni indodana kaJohane. Usuzathiwa unguKhefasi” (okuchasiswa ngokuthi, nguPhethro).
43 Dusra din Jisu to Galilee jagate jabole mon thakise, titia Tai Philip ke lok paise aru taike koise, “Ami laga piche koribi.”
Ngelanga elilandelayo uJesu wafuna ukusuka aye eGalile. Wabona uFiliphu wathi kuye, “Ngilandela.”
44 Philip to Bethsaida nogor laga manu asele, juntu sheher to Andrew aru Peter laga sheher asele.
UFiliphu wayengowedolobheni lase-Bhethisayida, njengo-Andreya loPhethro.
45 Jitia Philip pora Nathaniel ke paise, tai koise, “Moses laga kitab te aru bhabobadi khan he jun laga kotha likhi rakhise, etu amikhan pai loise: etu Joseph laga chokra Nazareth Jisu he ase.”
UFiliphu wadinga uNathaneli wamtshela wathi, “Sesimfumene lowo uMosi aloba ngaye eMthethweni, njalo abaphrofethi labo abaloba ngaye, uJesu waseNazaretha, indodana kaJosefa.”
46 Kintu Nathaniel taike koise, “Bhal bostu Nazareth pora ulabo naki?” Philip pora taike koise, “Ahibi aru sabi.”
UNathaneli wabuza wathi, “ENazaretha! Kulolutho oluhle olungavela khona na?” UFiliphu wathi, “Woza uzebona.”
47 Titia Jisu pora Nathaniel Tai phale aha dikhi kene koise, “Sabi, etu hosa te Israel manu ase, tai thogai diya manu nohoi!”
Kwathi uJesu ebona uNathaneli eqhamuka laphaya wathi ngaye, “Nangu umʼIsrayeli oqotho, okungekho nkohliso kuye.”
48 Nathaniel Taike koise, “Apuni moike kineka jane?” Jisu taike jowab di koise, “Philip pora tumike mata age te tumi dimoru ghas niche bohi thaka Moi dikhise.”
UNathaneli wambuza wathi, “Ungazela ngaphi na?” UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngikubonile usahlezi ngaphansi kwesihlahla somkhiwa uFiliphu engakakubizi.”
49 Nathaniel Taike jowab dise, “Rabbi, Apuni Isor laga Chora ase! Apuni Israel laga Raja ase!”
UNathaneli wasefakaza wathi, “Rabi, uyindodana kaNkulunkulu; uyiNkosi ka-Israyeli.”
50 Jisu jowab te taike koise, “kelemane Moi tumike koise, ‘Moi Tumike dimoru ghas nichete bohi thaka dikhise’ kowa karone tumi biswas korise? Tumi etu pora bhi bisi dangor kaam dikhibo.”
UJesu wathi, “Ukholwa ngoba ngithe ngikubone ngaphansi kwesihlahla somkhiwa. Usazobona izinto ezinkulu kulalokho.”
51 Aru Jisu taike koise, “Hosa pora Moi tumikhan ke kobo, tumikhan sorgo khuli diya, aru Isor laga duth khan pora Manu laga Putro uporte aha juwa kora dikhibo.”
Waphinda wengeza wathi, “Ngikutshela iqiniso, uzabona izulu livuleka, lezingilosi zikaNkulunkulu zikhwela zisehlela eNdodaneni yoMuntu.”
