1 Mongrep maang dongsiitka di, Rangte Jengkhaap ah eje angta; heh Rangte damdi angta, eno Jengkhaap ah Rangte angta.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Ephangdong dowa ih Jengkhaap ah Rangte damdi angta.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 Rangte ih jirep ah heh jun ih dongsiitta; jaatrep dongsiitta dowa esiit taan uh heh jun ih ladongka rah tajeeka.
All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made.
4 Jengkhaap ah roidong choh lampo angta, eno roidong erah ih mina raangtaan ih weephaak thukta.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 Weephaak ah rangnak khoni phaakta, eno rangnak ih erah weephaak ah mabah uh tajen met siitta.
And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 Rangte ih weephaak tiit ah mina suh baat thuksuh, mih wasiit Joon ngeh ih kongphaak kotte kaat thukta,
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 tiimnge liidi, heh tiitkhaap ah loongtang ih chaat rum ano hanpi toom ih rum ah.
This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him.
8 Heh teewah bah amiisak di weephaak tah angta; weephaak tiit ah ba baatkaat taha.
He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light.
9 Erah baatta langla amiisak weephaak ah angta, erah weephaak ah arah mongrep adi ra haano mina loongtang suh kaangtook koha.
That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.
10 Jengkhaap ah langla arah mongrep adi angta, arah mongrep ah Rangte ih heh mendi hoonta bah uh, arah mongrep dowa mina ih tasamjat rumta.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 Heh teewah deek akaan ni ra taha, erabah uh heh miloong ah ih heh jeng ah takap rumta.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 Enoothong, o mina ih heh jeng ah kap ih rum ano hanpi rumta, erah miloong ah Rangte suh asah eh hoon suh epun e ah.
But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name.
13 Neng loong ah Rangte sah ih hoonta, mina hansi nuh awah nawa tup arah tah angta; Rangte ah neng loong raangtaan ih neng Wah eh hoonta.
Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Jengkhaap ah mina eh donghoonta eno minchan nyia amiisak pan angta, seng loong damdi roong songtong taha. Heh rangka ah seng ih tup eti, erah rangka ah Hewah jiin nawa Hesah heh luulu ang thoidi choha.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
15 Joon ih heh tiit baatta adoh erongrongwah ih riibaatta, “Arah tiit ah ngah ih amah kabaat rum taha, ‘Heh nga lidoh raaha, enoothong nga nang ih heh elong ang ah, tiimnge liidi ngah maang tup diidook heh eje angta.’”
John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me.
16 Heh jiinni minchan ehan je thoidi loongtang suh romseetam koh hali, seng loong asuh esiit esiit suh romseetam koh hali.
And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
17 Rangte ih Moses jun ih Hootthe kota, enoothong minchan nyia amiisak tiit ah Jisu Kristo jun ih koh hali.
For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 Rangte ah oh ih uh tathaak tupka. Rangte reeni Hewah tooto ih tongla, Hesah asuh luulu ba jatthuk ha.
No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 Jerusalem dowa Jehudi ngoong awang loong ah ih romwah nyia Lewi nok hah marah marah loong ah Joon reeni kaat thuk rum ano, chengkaat thuk rumta, “An o anglu?”
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: Who art thou?
20 Joon ih neng suh ngaakbaat ah tah daanta, enoothong neng suh saasa ih dokbaat rumta, Heh ih baat rumta: [Ngah Kristo tah angkang.]
And he confessed, and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ.
21 [Eno bah, an ah o anglu?] Neng ih ngaak chengta. [An Elija tam ah?] “Tah angkang,” Joon ih ngaakbaat rumta. “An Khowah tam anglu?” Neng loong ah ih ngaakcheng rumta. “Tah angkang,” Joon ih ngaakbaat rumta.
And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No.
22 “Eno bah an ah o anglu baat he,” neng loong ah ih cheng rumta. “Seng daap kaatte loong asuh an o anglu erah tiit ah ngaakbaat wantheng. An teewah suh an ih tiimjih li hu?]
They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?
23 Khowah Isaia Jengkhaap ah baat ano ngaak jengta; [Phisang hah mong ni riila root ah langla ngah; Teesu lengkhoom suh lamjun in ban tan an!]
He said: I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias.
24 Pharisi nok hah, ih kaat thukta kongphaak kotte, loong ah ih
And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees.
25 Joon suh cheng rumta, [An Kristo uh tah angko, Elija uh tah angko adoleh Khowah uh tah angko, eno bah juutem ah mamah ih temhu?]
And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
26 Joon ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Ngah ih ju nawa ih juutem rumhala, enoothong sengdung ni wasiit chapla ah sen ih tajatkan.
John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not.
27 Erah mih ah nga lih ni ra hala, enoothong ngah bah heh lakhoop adoleh heh lasong khook haattha uh taluikang.]
The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.
28 Arah tiit ah Bethani ni Joon ih Jordan ju saadongko ni juutemta erah di roongwaan rumta.
These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Erah saalih adi Jisu heh taang ni wangha rah Joon ih japtup ano, liita, [Rangte Saapsah ah arah, arah mongrep dowa rangdah saasiitte ah erah wang hala!
The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.
30 Ngah roongwaan tahang adi arah warah tiit laangbo baat rum taha, ngah ih amah baat rum taha, ‘Nga lidoh mih wasiit raaha, enoothong heh ngah nang ih elong, tiimnge liidi heh ngah maang tupdoh heh eje angta.’
This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.
31 Ngah ih heh o ang ah ngeh ih tah jattang, enoothong, heh ah Ijirel noksong ih toomjat rum ah ngeh ih juutem ra tahang.]
And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32 Eno Joon ih heteewah tiitkhaap tiit baat rumta: [Ngah ih Chiiala ah wotuupi likhiik rang nawa ra haano heh sakkhoh ni dangra ha rah tuptang.
And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.
33 Erabah uh ngah ih tajattang heh o angla. Enoothong juutem kaat thuk tahang Rangte ah ih baat tahang, ‘An ih Chiiala ra haano mih wasiit sak nah tong raaha rah japtup uh; Esa Chiiala nawa ih juutemte warah heh ang ah.’
And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34 Ngah ih tup ehang,” Joon ih liita, [eno ngah ih baat rumhala Rangte Sah ah bah heh ju.]
And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.
35 Erah saalih adi heliphante wanyi damdi Joon we toonchap adi,
The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples.
36 Jisu lengkhoom ah japtup ano liita. [Rangte Saapsah ah the warah aleh!]
And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.
37 Heliphante wanyi ah ih Joon jeng ah japchaat nyu ano Jisu damdi roong kanyuuta.
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Jisu lekchap ih adi, nengnyi helilih ih kah arah japtup nyu ano cheng nyuuta, [Set ih tiimjih jamsok hansih?] Nengnyi ih ngaakbaat nyuuta, [An mani tonglu Rabbi?] (Rabbi ah Hebrew lam ih [Nyootte[ suh liiha)
And Jesus turning, and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwellest thou?
39 [Sok raathaak hansih ba,” heh ih ngaakbaat nyuuta. (Erah tokdi rangsa lup nanah angta.) Erah thoidi heh damdi roong kah nyu ano heh mani songtongta rah japtup kanyuuta eno erah sa adi heh damdi naangjam nyuuta.
He saith to them: Come and see. They came, and saw where he abode, and they stayed with him that day: now it was about the tenth hour.
40 Erah nyi dowa wasiit ah Simon Pitar no Andriu angta.
And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John, and followed him.
41 Erah damdam heh phoh Simon ah japtup ano baatta, [Seknyi Misia chomui li tih.] (Misia ah [Kristo[ suh liiha)
He findeth first his brother Simon, and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
42 Eno heh ih Simon ah Jisu taang ni siitwanta. Jisu heh taangko sok ano liita, [An Joon sah Simon, enoothong an ah Sephas ngeh ih poonho.] (Erah langla Pitar suh [jong[ ngeh ih liita likhiik)
And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter.
43 Erah saalih adi Jisu Galili ni kaat chungta. Heh ih Philip ah japtup ano baatta, [Nga damdoh roongra ho!] (
On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow me.
44 Philip ah Pitar nyia Andriu tongla hah, Betsaida nawa angta.)
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip ih Nathanel ah japtup ano heh suh baatta, [Hootthe leedap ni Moses nyia khowah loong ih nep raangta ah seng ih japtup ehi. Heh langla Jisu, Najaret hadaang dowa Josep sah ah.]
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.
46 [Najaret nawa tiim bah uh ese thok nih eha?] Nathanel ih chengta. [Raaho no sok uh,” Philip ih ngaak baatta.
And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see.
47 Jisu ih Nathanel ah heh reeni kaat ah tup ano liita, [Ijirel mina mi abah arah; heh tiim ni uh tathika!]
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him: and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.
48 Nathanel ih heh suh chengta, An ih ngah mamah ih jat halang?] Jisu ih ngaak baatta, [Philip ih maang poon ruudi phuksak bang lathong ni ang uh rah jap tup taha.]
Nathanael saith to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered, and said to him: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 [Nyootte[ Nathanel ih ngaak baatta, [an juuba Rangte Sah! An Ijirel Luuwang!]
Nathanael answered him, and said: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.
50 Jisu ih chengta, [Phuksak bang lathong ni angtu adi japtup taha ngeh ih li kohaano tam hanpi halang? An ih erah tokkhodoh elong japtup uh!]
Jesus answered, and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see.
51 Eno neng suh li rumta, [Ngah ih amiisak tiit ah baat rumhala: Rangmong ah laangdaap adoh Rangsah loong ah Mina Sah reenah chookwang datkah ih lengkhoom arah japtup an.
And he saith to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
