UJohane 1
1 Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi, uLizwi wayeloNkulunkulu, njalo uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu.
Hali mi cilima Mi maama den ye. Mi maama den ye leni U Tienu. Mi Maama yeni den tie U Tienu.
2 WayeloNkulunkulu ekuqaleni.
Mi den ye hali mi cilima leni U Tienu.
3 Izinto zonke zenziwa ngaye; ngaphandle kwakhe kube akukho okwenziwayo.
Yaala n ye kuli tie Mi yaa tagime, kelima li bonla kuli tie Mi yaa tagime.
4 Kwakukhona ukuphila kuye, lokho kuphila kwakuyikukhanya kwabantu.
Li miali den ye mi niinni, li miali yeni den tie mi yenma bi niba kuli po.
5 Ukukhanya kukhanya emnyameni, kodwa umnyama awukakuzwisisi.
Mi yenma yendi li biigi nni, ama li biigili ki den gaama.
6 Kwafika umuntu ethunywe nguNkulunkulu, ibizo lakhe wayenguJohane.
Jan den cua ki tie U Tienu tondo.
7 Weza njengomfakazi ezoqinisa mayelana lalokho kukhanya ukuze kuthi ngaye bonke abantu bakholwe.
O den cua ki tie siedi, ki baa tiendi siedi mi yenma yeni po, ke bi niba kuli n daani kelima omaama po.
8 Yena qobo lwakhe wayengesi lokho kukhanya; weza nje njengomfakazi wokukhanya lokho.
Wani ka, den tie mi yenma, ama o den cua ki baa tieni siedi mi yenma po.
9 Ukukhanya okuliqiniso okunika ukukhanya emuntwini wonke kwakusiza emhlabeni.
Mi yenma yeni den tie mi yenmoanma ki cua handuna nni ki baa yendi nisaalimiali kuli po.
10 Wayesemhlabeni, kodwa lanxa umhlaba wenziwa ngaye, umhlaba kawumazanga.
Mi den cua handuna nni kelima mani n den tagi handuna ama handuna naa go den bandima.
11 Weza kulokho okwakungokwakhe, kodwa khona kakumemukelanga.
Mi den cua o yaaba siiga, ama o yaaba ki den gaama.
12 Ikanti kulabo bonke abamamukelayo, kulabo abakholwayo ebizweni lakhe, wabapha ilungelo lokuba ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu,
Ama yaaba n den gaama kuli ki daani o yeli nni mi dini ba libali ke bi tua U Tienu bila,
13 abantwana abangazalwanga ngokwemvelo, kumbe ngokukhetha komuntu, loba ngokufuna kwendoda kodwa bezelwe nguNkulunkulu.
wan mali yaaba, ke laa tie leni soama ka, laa go tie gbannandi yanbuama, laa tie nisaali-yantiali, ama U Tienu wani o ba.
14 ULizwi waba yinyama, wahlala phakathi kwethu. Siyibonile inkazimulo yakhe; inkazimulo yeNdodana eyiyo yodwa, eyavela kuYise, igcwele umusa leqiniso.
Mi maama yeni den tua gbannandi ki cua ti siiga ki gbie leni li hanbili leni imoamoani. Ti den laa okpiagidi wani ki bonjayenyenga yua n ñani Baa kani yaa kpiagidi.
15 UJohane wafakaza ngayo. Wamemeza esithi, “Lo nguye engangikhuluma ngaye ngisithi, ‘Lowo oza ngemva kwami usengedlule ngoba wayevele ephambi kwami.’”
Jan tieni opo siedi ki kpaani: Wani n tie min maadi yua yaa maama ki yedi: Yua n tiena n tie min baa yua cie nni, kelima o den ye hali ke mini daa ye.
16 Ngenxa yokujula komusa wakhe sonke sesamukele umusa emuseni esasivele siwuphiwe.
Ti kuli baa o hanbili ki go baadi li ki pugidi pugidi.
17 Ngoba umthetho walethwa ngoMosi; umusa leqiniso kweza ngoJesu Khristu.
Kelima Musa n den cuani li bali maama, ama Jesu kilisiti n cuani li hanbili leni imoamoani.
18 Kakho osewake wambona uNkulunkulu, kodwa iNdodana eyiyo yodwa, yona enguNkulunkulu njalo eseceleni eduze kukaYise, isimenze waziwa.
kelima oba kuli ki maani ki le U Tienu, ama obijua yua n ye okani yogunu kuli, n cua ki doagidi o niba siiga ki teni ke bi bandi o.
19 Lobu yibo ubufakazi bukaJohane lapho abakhokheli bamaJuda aseJerusalema abathuma khona abaphristi labaLevi ukuyambuza ukuthi wayengubani.
Jan n den cua ki tiedi laa siedi yaa yogunu, Jufinba yaaba n ye Jelusalema den soani bi kopadicianba leni lefi buolu yaaba, ke ban buali o yaa bualu n tiena: A tie ŋme yo?
20 Kehlulekanga ukuzichaza, kodwa wazichaza ekhululekile wathi, “Kangisuye uKhristu.”
Jan den doagidi ki waani ba imoamoani ki yedi: Mini ka tie Kilisiti.
21 Bambuza bathi, “Pho ungubani na? Ungu-Elija yini?” Wathi, “Kangisuye.” “Ungumphrofethi na?” Waphendula wathi, “Hatshi.”
Bi den buali o ki yedi anan tie ŋme? Elia bi? O den yedi: Mii tie Elia. Bi den buali o nan tie o sawalipualo bi? O den yedi ba: A-a.

Bi den yedi o: Lanwani a nan tie ŋme yo? K e ti bua ki ban waani yaaba n soani ti. A yedi ayuli po be?
23 UJohane wabaphendula ngamazwi ka-Isaya umphrofethi wathi, “Ngiyilizwi lalowo omemezayo enkangala lisithi, ‘Lungiselani iNkosi indlela iqonde.’”
O den yedi ke o tie Yua n kpaani mi fanpienma nni ki tua: «Naadi mani o Diedo sanu.» Nani Esayi n den yedi maama.
24 Kwasekusithi abaFarisi ababethunyiwe
Ban den soani yaaba yeni den tie falisieninbe.
25 bambuza bathi, “Kungani pho ubhaphathiza nxa ungasuye uKhristu, kumbe u-Elija loba umphrofethi na?”
Bi go den buali o yaa buali n tiena: A yaa tie Kilisiti, kaa go tie Elia, ki naa go tie o sawalipualo mo be yaapo ke nan tendi bi niba mi walima?
26 UJohane waphendula wathi, “Mina ngibhaphathiza ngamanzi, kodwa phakathi kwenu kumi elingamaziyo.
Jan den guani ki yedi ba: Mini wani n tendi mi ñima yaa batisima, ama onilo ye yi siiga ke yii bani o. O baa cua n puoli.
27 Nguye lowo ozayo ngemva kwami, mina engingafanelanga ukuthukulula imichilo yamanyathela akhe.”
Mii pundi baa yua n gbaani ki lodi o cacaagbansiama.
28 Konke lokhu kwenzeka eBhethani ngaphetsheya kweJodani lapho uJohane ayebhaphathiza khona.
Lankuli den tieni betani judana kpenu kandima, Jan n den batisi bi niba naankani.
29 Ngelanga elilandelayo uJohane wabona uJesu esiza kuye wathi, “Khangelani, nanti iWundlu likaNkulunkulu elisusa isono somhlaba!
Lan den fii ki fa Jan den laa ke Jesu kpendi o kani o den yedi: Diidi mani one n tie U Tienu pebiga yua n ŋuudi ki ñandi handuna tuonbiadi.
30 Nguye lo engangimutsho ngize ngithi, ‘Umuntu ozayo ngemva kwami usengedlule ngoba wayevele ephambi kwami.’
Wani n tie min den baa yua, nitoa ba cua n puoli ki cie nni yeni, kelima o den ye hali ke n daa ye.
31 Mina ngokwami bengingamazi, kodwa okwenze ngeza ngibhaphathiza ngamanzi kwakuyikwenzela ukuthi abonakaliswe ku-Israyeli.”
Mii den bani, wan tie yua ama n cua ki batisi bi niba leni mi ñima ke wan doagidi Isalele yaaba po.
32 UJohane waseletha lobubufakazi: “Ngabona uMoya esehla evela ezulwini enjengejuba wahlala phezu kwakhe.
Jan den tieni yaa siedo n tiena: N den laa ke U Tienu fuoma yua ñani tanpoli, nani ki kpaajiega yeni ki jagini opo.
33 Lami uqobo lwami ngangingamazi, kodwa lowo owangithumayo ukubhaphathiza ngamanzi wathi, ‘Lowomuntu ozabona uMoya usehla uhlala kuye nguye kanye ozabhaphathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.’
Mii kpa bani o, ama yua n den soani nni ke min batisi bi niba, mi ñima nni yeni den yedi nni: Han baa le ke U Tienu fuoma yua jiidi ki jagini yua yaapo yeni wani n baa batisi bi niba leni U Tienu fuoma yua.

38 UJesu wathi enyemukula wababona bemlandela, wababuza wathi, “Lifunani na?” Bathi, “Rabi” (okutsho ukuthi “Mfundisi”), “uhlala ngaphi?”
Jesu den gbegidi ki nuali ki sua ke bi hua o, ke o yedi ba: Yi lingi be? Bi den guani ki yedi o labi, lani n tie canbaa a denpo ye le yo?
39 Waphendula wathi, “Wozani, lizabona.” Ngakho bahamba bayabona lapho ayehlala khona, batshona laye mhlalokho. Kwakungaba lihola letshumi.
O den yedi ba: Cua mani yi baan le, bi den yegi leni o ki ban laa o deni n ye naani, li den tie liyenlebidili yogunu bi den sedi leni o laa juagu kuli.
40 U-Andreya, umfowabo kaSimoni Phethro wayengomunye wababili abezwayo okwakukhulunywa nguJohane njalo abayibo abalandela uJesu.
Andile Simono Pieli waalo den tie yaa niliediba n den gbadi Jan maama ki hoadi Jesu yeni siiga yendo.
41 Into yokuqala ayenzayo u-Andreya yikudinga umfowabo uSimoni wamtshela wathi, “Sesimfumene uMesiya” (okutsho uKhristu).
Wani n den kpa tuogi o ciamo Simono ki yedi o: Ti laa Mesia, lani n tie U Tienu n gandi yua.
42 Wasemletha kuJesu. UJesu wamkhangela wathi, “UnguSimoni indodana kaJohane. Usuzathiwa unguKhefasi” (okuchasiswa ngokuthi, nguPhethro).
O den gedini o Jesu kani. Jesu den nuali o ki yedi o: A tie Simono Jonasa bijua, a ji baa yi sefa yo yaala n bua ki yedi Pieli.

45 UFiliphu wadinga uNathaneli wamtshela wathi, “Sesimfumene lowo uMosi aloba ngaye eMthethweni, njalo abaphrofethi labo abaloba ngaye, uJesu waseNazaretha, indodana kaJosefa.”
