UJohane 1
1 Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi, njalo uLizwi wayeloNkulunkulu, njalo uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu.
ādau vāda āsīt sa ca vāda īśvarēṇa sārdhamāsīt sa vādaḥ svayamīśvara ēva|
2 Yena lo wayeloNkulunkulu ekuqaleni.
sa ādāvīśvarēṇa sahāsīt|
3 Zonke izinto zenziwa ngaye, njalo ngaphandle kwakhe kakulalutho lolulodwa olwenziwayo lolo olwenziweyo.
tēna sarvvaṁ vastu sasr̥jē sarvvēṣu sr̥ṣṭavastuṣu kimapi vastu tēnāsr̥ṣṭaṁ nāsti|
4 Impilo yayikuye, njalo impilo yayiyikukhanya kwabantu,
sa jīvanasyākāraḥ, tacca jīvanaṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ jyōtiḥ
5 lokukhanya kukhanya emnyameni, kodwa ubumnyama kabukwemukelanga.
tajjyōtirandhakārē pracakāśē kintvandhakārastanna jagrāha|
6 Kwavela umuntu ethunywe nguNkulunkulu, obizo lakhe linguJohane;
yōhan nāmaka ēkō manuja īśvarēṇa prēṣayāñcakrē|
7 yena lo wezela ubufakazi, ukuze afakaze ngokukhanya, ukuze bonke bakholwe ngaye.
tadvārā yathā sarvvē viśvasanti tadarthaṁ sa tajjyōtiṣi pramāṇaṁ dātuṁ sākṣisvarūpō bhūtvāgamat,
8 Yena wayengayisikho ukukhanya, kodwa ukuze afakaze ngokukhanya.
sa svayaṁ tajjyōti rna kintu tajjyōtiṣi pramāṇaṁ dātumāgamat|
9 Kwakuyikukhanya okuqotho, okukhanyisa wonke umuntu oza emhlabeni.
jagatyāgatya yaḥ sarvvamanujēbhyō dīptiṁ dadāti tadēva satyajyōtiḥ|
10 Wayekhona emhlabeni, njalo umhlaba wenziwa ngaye, kodwa umhlaba kawumazanga.
sa yajjagadasr̥jat tanmadya ēva sa āsīt kintu jagatō lōkāstaṁ nājānan|
11 Weza kokwakhe, kodwa abakhe kabamemukelanga.
nijādhikāraṁ sa āgacchat kintu prajāstaṁ nāgr̥hlan|
12 Kodwa bonke abamemukelayo, wabapha amandla okuthi babe ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, labo abakholwa ebizweni lakhe;
tathāpi yē yē tamagr̥hlan arthāt tasya nāmni vyaśvasan tēbhya īśvarasya putrā bhavitum adhikāram adadāt|
13 abazalwa kungeyisikho ngegazi, langentando yenyama, langentando yendoda, kodwa nguNkulunkulu.
tēṣāṁ janiḥ śōṇitānna śārīrikābhilāṣānna mānavānāmicchātō na kintvīśvarādabhavat|
14 ULizwi wasesiba yinyama, wahlala phakathi kwethu, njalo sabona inkazimulo yakhe, inkazimulo injengeyozelwe yedwa kaYise, egcwele umusa leqiniso.
sa vādō manuṣyarūpēṇāvatīryya satyatānugrahābhyāṁ paripūrṇaḥ san sārdham asmābhi rnyavasat tataḥ pituradvitīyaputrasya yōgyō yō mahimā taṁ mahimānaṁ tasyāpaśyāma|
15 UJohane wafakaza ngaye, wamemeza wathi: Nguye lo ebengisitsho ngaye ukuthi: Lowo ozayo emva kwami uphambi kwami; ngoba wayekhona kuqala kulami.
tatō yōhanapi pracāryya sākṣyamidaṁ dattavān yō mama paścād āgamiṣyati sa mattō gurutaraḥ; yatō matpūrvvaṁ sa vidyamāna āsīt; yadartham ahaṁ sākṣyamidam adāṁ sa ēṣaḥ|
16 Lekugcwaleni kwakhe thina semukele sonke, futhi umusa ngomusa;
aparañca tasya pūrṇatāyā vayaṁ sarvvē kramaśaḥ kramaśōnugrahaṁ prāptāḥ|
17 ngoba umlayo wanikwa ngoMozisi, umusa leqiniso kweza ngoJesu Kristu.
mūsādvārā vyavasthā dattā kintvanugrahaḥ satyatvañca yīśukhrīṣṭadvārā samupātiṣṭhatāṁ|
18 Kakho owake wabona uNkulunkulu; iNdodana ezelwe yodwa, esesifubeni sikaYise, yiyo emvezileyo.
kōpi manuja īśvaraṁ kadāpi nāpaśyat kintu pituḥ krōḍasthō'dvitīyaḥ putrastaṁ prakāśayat|
19 Njalo lobu yibufakazi bukaJohane, mhla amaJuda ethuma abapristi lamaLevi bevela eJerusalema ukuze bambuze ukuthi: Wena ungubani?
tvaṁ kaḥ? iti vākyaṁ prēṣṭuṁ yadā yihūdīyalōkā yājakān lēvilōkāṁśca yirūśālamō yōhanaḥ samīpē prēṣayāmāsuḥ,
20 Wasevuma, kaphikanga; futhi wavuma wathi: Kangisuye uKristu mina.
tadā sa svīkr̥tavān nāpahnūtavān nāham abhiṣikta ityaṅgīkr̥tavān|
21 Bambuza futhi bathi: Kuyini pho? Wena unguElija yini? Wasesithi: Kangisuye. Wena ungulowomProfethi yini? Wasephendula wathi: Hatshi.
tadā tē'pr̥cchan tarhi kō bhavān? kiṁ ēliyaḥ? sōvadat na; tatastē'pr̥cchan tarhi bhavān sa bhaviṣyadvādī? sōvadat nāhaṁ saḥ|
22 Basebesithi kuye: Ungubani? Ukuze sibaphe impendulo abasithumileyo; uthini ngawe?
tadā tē'pr̥cchan tarhi bhavān kaḥ? vayaṁ gatvā prērakān tvayi kiṁ vakṣyāmaḥ? svasmin kiṁ vadasi?
23 Wathi: Mina ngiyilizwi lomemezayo enkangala: Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, njengoba uIsaya umprofethi watsho.
tadā sōvadat| paramēśasya panthānaṁ pariṣkuruta sarvvataḥ| itīdaṁ prāntarē vākyaṁ vadataḥ kasyacidravaḥ| kathāmimāṁ yasmin yiśayiyō bhaviṣyadvādī likhitavān sōham|
24 Lalabo ababethunyiwe babevela kubaFarisi.
yē prēṣitāstē phirūśilōkāḥ|
25 Basebembuza, bathi kuye: Ubhabhathizelani pho, uba wena ungeyisuye uKristu, loElija, lalowomProfethi?
tadā tē'pr̥cchan yadi nābhiṣiktōsi ēliyōsi na sa bhaviṣyadvādyapi nāsi ca, tarhi lōkān majjayasi kutaḥ?
26 UJohane wabaphendula, wathi: Mina ngibhabhathiza ngamanzi; kodwa phakathi kwenu kumi, lina elingamaziyo;
tatō yōhan pratyavōcat, tōyē'haṁ majjayāmīti satyaṁ kintu yaṁ yūyaṁ na jānītha tādr̥śa ēkō janō yuṣmākaṁ madhya upatiṣṭhati|
27 nguye ozayo emva kwami, ophambi kwami, engingafanele mina ukuthukulula umchilo wenyathela lakhe.
sa matpaścād āgatōpi matpūrvvaṁ varttamāna āsīt tasya pādukābandhanaṁ mōcayitumapi nāhaṁ yōgyōsmi|
28 Lezizinto zenzeka eBethabara ngaphetsheya kweJordani, lapho uJohane ayebhabhathiza khona.
yarddananadyāḥ pārasthabaithabārāyāṁ yasminsthānē yōhanamajjayat tasmina sthānē sarvvamētad aghaṭata|
29 Kusisa uJohane wabona uJesu esiza kuye, wathi: Khangelani iWundlu likaNkulunkulu, elisusa isono somhlaba.
parē'hani yōhan svanikaṭamāgacchantaṁ yiśuṁ vilōkya prāvōcat jagataḥ pāpamōcakam īśvarasya mēṣaśāvakaṁ paśyata|
30 Nguye lo mina ebengilitshela ngaye ukuthi: Emva kwami kuza indoda, eyayikhona phambi kwami, ngoba yayikhona kuqala kulami.
yō mama paścādāgamiṣyati sa mattō gurutaraḥ, yatō hētōrmatpūrvvaṁ sō'varttata yasminnahaṁ kathāmimāṁ kathitavān sa ēvāyaṁ|
31 Lami bengingamazi; kodwa ukuze abonakaliswe kuIsrayeli, ngalokho mina ngizile ngibhabhathiza ngamanzi.
aparaṁ nāhamēnaṁ pratyabhijñātavān kintu isrāyēllōkā ēnaṁ yathā paricinvanti tadabhiprāyēṇāhaṁ jalē majjayitumāgaccham|
32 UJohane wasefakaza, esithi: Ngibonile uMoya esehla ezulwini njengejuba, wahlala phezu kwakhe.
punaśca yōhanaparamēkaṁ pramāṇaṁ datvā kathitavān vihāyasaḥ kapōtavad avatarantamātmānam asyōparyyavatiṣṭhantaṁ ca dr̥ṣṭavānaham|
33 Lami bengingamazi; kodwa owangithumayo ukubhabhathiza ngamanzi, yena wathi kimi: Lowo ozabona uMoya esehlela phezu kwakhe ahlale kuye, nguye obhabhathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.
nāhamēnaṁ pratyabhijñātavān iti satyaṁ kintu yō jalē majjayituṁ māṁ prairayat sa ēvēmāṁ kathāmakathayat yasyōparyyātmānam avatarantam avatiṣṭhantañca drakṣayasi saēva pavitrē ātmani majjayiṣyati|
34 Mina ngibonile, ngafakaza ukuthi lo uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
avastannirīkṣyāyam īśvarasya tanaya iti pramāṇaṁ dadāmi|
35 Kusisa futhi uJohane wayemi, lababili kubafundi bakhe;
parē'hani yōhan dvābhyāṁ śiṣyābhyāṁ sārddhēṁ tiṣṭhan
36 wasekhangela uJesu ehambahamba, wathi: Khangelani iWundlu likaNkulunkulu.
yiśuṁ gacchantaṁ vilōkya gaditavān, īśvarasya mēṣaśāvakaṁ paśyataṁ|
37 Abafundi ababili bamuzwa ekhuluma, basebemlandela uJesu.
imāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā dvau śiṣyau yīśōḥ paścād īyatuḥ|
38 Kwathi uJesu enyemukula ebabona belandela, wathi kubo: Lidingani? Basebesithi kuye: Rabi, (okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa, Mfundisi) uhlala ngaphi?
tatō yīśuḥ parāvr̥tya tau paścād āgacchantau dr̥ṣṭvā pr̥ṣṭavān yuvāṁ kiṁ gavēśayathaḥ? tāvapr̥cchatāṁ hē rabbi arthāt hē gurō bhavān kutra tiṣṭhati?
39 Wathi kubo: Wozani libone. Beza babona lapho ayehlala khona; bahlala laye ngalolosuku; kwakungaba lihola letshumi.
tataḥ sōvādit ētya paśyataṁ| tatō divasasya tr̥tīyapraharasya gatatvāt tau taddinaṁ tasya saṅgē'sthātāṁ|
40 UAndreya umfowabo kaSimoni Petro wayengomunye wababili ababekuzwe ngoJohane bamlandela.
yau dvau yōhanō vākyaṁ śrutvā yiśōḥ paścād āgamatāṁ tayōḥ śimōnpitarasya bhrātā āndriyaḥ
41 Yena wathola kuqala umfowabo uqobo uSimoni, wathi kuye: Simtholile uMesiya, okuphendulelwa ngokuthi, uKristu.
sa itvā prathamaṁ nijasōdaraṁ śimōnaṁ sākṣātprāpya kathitavān vayaṁ khrīṣṭam arthāt abhiṣiktapuruṣaṁ sākṣātkr̥tavantaḥ|
42 Wasemletha kuJesu. UJesu esemkhangele wathi: Wena unguSimoni indodana kaJona; uzathiwa nguKefasi, okuphendulelwa ngokuthi uPetro.
paścāt sa taṁ yiśōḥ samīpam ānayat| tadā yīśustaṁ dr̥ṣṭvāvadat tvaṁ yūnasaḥ putraḥ śimōn kintu tvannāmadhēyaṁ kaiphāḥ vā pitaraḥ arthāt prastarō bhaviṣyati|
43 Kusisa uJesu wayefuna ukusuka aye eGalili, wathola uFiliphu, wathi kuye: Ngilandela.
parē'hani yīśau gālīlaṁ gantuṁ niścitacētasi sati philipanāmānaṁ janaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvōcat mama paścād āgaccha|
44 UFiliphu-ke wayengoweBhethisayida, emzini wakibo kaAndreya loPetro.
baitsaidānāmni yasmin grāmē pitarāndriyayōrvāsa āsīt tasmin grāmē tasya philipasya vasatirāsīt|
45 UFiliphu wathola uNathaniyeli, wathi kuye: Simtholile lowo abhala ngaye uMozisi emlayweni labaprofethi, uJesu weNazaretha, indodana kaJosefa.
paścāt philipō nithanēlaṁ sākṣātprāpyāvadat mūsā vyavasthā granthē bhaviṣyadvādināṁ granthēṣu ca yasyākhyānaṁ likhitamāstē taṁ yūṣaphaḥ putraṁ nāsaratīyaṁ yīśuṁ sākṣād akārṣma vayaṁ|
46 UNathaniyeli wasesithi kuye: Kambe kungavela okuhle eNazaretha? UFiliphu wathi kuye: Woza ubone.
tadā nithanēl kathitavān nāsarannagarāta kiṁ kaściduttama utpantuṁ śaknōti? tataḥ philipō 'vōcat ētya paśya|
47 UJesu wabona uNathaniyeli esiza kuye, wathi ngaye: Khangelani umIsrayeli uqobo, okungekho nkohliso kuye.
aparañca yīśuḥ svasya samīpaṁ tam āgacchantaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā vyāhr̥tavān, paśyāyaṁ niṣkapaṭaḥ satya isrāyēllōkaḥ|
48 UNathaniyeli wathi kuye: Ungazela ngaphi? UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: UFiliphu engakakubizi, ungaphansi komkhiwa, ngakubona.
tataḥ sōvadad, bhavān māṁ kathaṁ pratyabhijānāti? yīśuravādīt philipasya āhvānāt pūrvvaṁ yadā tvamuḍumbarasya tarōrmūlē'sthāstadā tvāmadarśam|
49 UNathaniyeli waphendula wathi kuye: Rabi, wena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, wena uyiNkosi kaIsrayeli.
nithanēl acakathat, hē gurō bhavān nitāntam īśvarasya putrōsi, bhavān isrāyēlvaṁśasya rājā|
50 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Uyakholwa ngoba ngithe kuwe, bengikubona ungaphansi komkhiwa. Uzabona izinto ezinkulu kulalezi.
tatō yīśu rvyāharat, tvāmuḍumbarasya pādapasya mūlē dr̥ṣṭavānāhaṁ mamaitasmādvākyāt kiṁ tvaṁ vyaśvasīḥ? ētasmādapyāścaryyāṇi kāryyāṇi drakṣyasi|
51 Wasesithi kuye: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Kusukela khathesi lizabona izulu livulekile, lengilosi zikaNkulunkulu zisenyuka zisehla phezu kweNdodana yomuntu.
anyaccāvādīd yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, itaḥ paraṁ mōcitē mēghadvārē tasmānmanujasūnunā īśvarasya dūtagaṇam avarōhantamārōhantañca drakṣyatha|
