Yohana 1
1 Kiogo sa kale pabile ni neno, ni ywa neno abile pamope ni Nnongo, nga ywa Neno abile Nnongo.
IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word himself was with Aloha, and Aloha was the Word himself.
2 Aywoo, Neno, palyo kinchogo abile pamope ni Nnongo.
This was in the beginning with Aloha.
3 Ilebe yoti gatipangilwa petya ywembe, mana ntopo ywembe chalowa pangika kwaa hata kilebe chimo.
Every thing by his hand was made; and without him also was not one thing made that was made.
4 Nkati yake ngaubile ukoti, ni wolo ukoti wabile bweya ya bandu boti.
In him was life, and the life is the light of the sons of man;
5 Bweya yating'ala mulubendo, wala lubendo lwaloweza kwaa kwiima.
and the Light himself in the darkness shineth, and the darkness perceived him not.
6 Pabile ni mundu ywatumilwe kuoma kwa Nnongo, lina lyake akemelwa Yohana.
There was a man who was sent from Aloha, his name (was) Juchanon.
7 Ywaisile kati shaidi woshuhudia husu yelo bweya, ili bote baweze amini petya ywembe.
He came for the testimony, to testify concerning the Light, that all men might believe through his ministry.
8 Yohana abile kwaa yelo bweya, ila aisile ili shuhudia husu yelo bweya.
He was not the Light himself, but came to testify concerning the Light.
9 Eyo yabile bweya ya kweli yabile yaisa mu'dunia niyembe yampea bweya kila yumo.
For that was the true Light that enlighteneth every man who cometh into the world.
10 Abile mu'dunia, ni dunia iumbilwe petya ywembe, ni dunia yantangite kwaa.
In the world was he, and the world by his hand had been made, and the world knew him not.
11 Aisile kwa ilebe yake, ni bandu bake bampokya kwaa.
He came to his own, and his own received him not.
12 Ila kwa balo baingi babampokile, balo baamini lina lyake, kwa balo kabapeya haki ya kuwa bana ba Nnongo.
But they who received him, he gave to them power, that the sons of Aloha they should become, to those who believe in his name.
13 Bababelekilwe, kwa mwai kwaa, wala kwa mapenzi ga yega, wala kwa mapenzi ga mundu, ila kwa Nnongo mwene.
These, not from blood, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from Aloha, are born.
14 Ni ywembe Neno apangilwe yega ni tama nkati yitu, tuubweni utukufu wake, kati utukufu wa mundu kichake wa kipekee ywabile kuoma kwa Tate, atwelile neema ni kweli.
And the Word flesh was made, and tabernacled with us; and we saw his glory, the glory as of the one-begotten who (was) from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Yohana atishuhudia husu ywembe, ni akoiye kwa lilobe kabaya, “Ayoo nga ywembe nimmakiye habari yake nibayite, “Yolo ywaisa baada yango nga nkolo kuliko nenga, kwa maana abile kabla yango.”
Juchanon testified concerning him, and cried, and said, This is he of whom I said, that he cometh after me, and was before me, because he is anterior to me.
16 Kwa mana kuoma mu'utimilifu wake, twenga twaboti, twapoki bure ipawa baada ya ipawa.
And from his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
17 Kwa mana saliya yatiisa petya Musa. Neema ni kweli yaisile petya Yesu Kristu.
For the law by the hand of Musha was given; but the truth and the grace were by Jeshu Meshicha.
18 Ntopo mundu ywamwonile Nnongo muda wowoti. Mundu pekee ywabile nga Nnongo, abile mu'kifua sa Tate, apangite ywembe ayowanike.
ALOHA no man hath ever seen: the one-begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.
19 Awoo nga ushuhuda ba Yohana palyo makuhani ni alawi bantumilwe kwake ni Ayahudi kubamwuliza.”Wenga wa nyai?”
And this was the testimony of Juchanon, when the Jihudoyee sent to him from Urishlem priests and Levoyee to demand of him, Who art thou?
20 Bila kusitasita ni kakana kwaa, ila kaayangwa, “Nenga na Kristo kwaa.”
And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Meshicha.
21 Eyo kabannokiya, “kwa eyo wenga wanyai? wenga wa Eliya?” Kabaya, “Nenga kwaa” Kababaya, “Wenga wa nabii?” Kayangwa, “Hapana.”
And they asked him again, What then? art thou Elia? And he said, I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he said, No.
22 Boka po kabammakiya, “Wenga wa nyai, ili tubapei jibu balo batutumile?” Kabaujishuhudie kwaa wenga wa mwene?”
And they said to him, And who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 Kabaya, “Nenga nga lilobe lyake ywabile mmwitu:'Mwinyoshe ndela ya Ngwana,'kati nabii Isaya abayite.”
He saith, I am the voice which crieth in the wilderness, Make plain the way of the Lord, as said Eshaia the prophet.
24 Bai pabile ni bandu batumilwe palyo kuoma kwa Mafarisayo. Kabannobiya no baya,
But they who were sent were from the Pharishee.
25 “Kwa mwanja namani wabatiza bai kati wenga wa Kristo kwaa wala Eliya wala nabii?”
And they demanded and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Meshicha, nor Elia, nor the Prophet?
26 Yohana kaayangwa kabaya, “Nabatiza kwa mase, Hata nyoo, nkati yinu atiyema mundu muntangite kwaa.
Juchanon answered and said to them, I baptize you with waters; but he standeth among you whom you know not:
27 Aywoo nga aisa baada yango, Nenga nastahili kwaa kuilegeza gidamu ya ilatu yake.”
he it is who cometh after me, and he was before me; he, the latchets of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose.
28 Makowe aga gapangike Bethania, ng'ambo ya Yordani, pandu Yohana abile atibabatiza bandu.
These things were done in Bethania, at the passage of the Jurdan, where Juchanon was baptizing.
29 Lisoba lya naibele Yohana amweni Yesu aisa kwake kabaya, “Linga mwana ngondolo wa Nnongo ywaitola sambi ya dunia!
AND the day after, Juchanon seeth Jeshu, who was coming to him; and he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha, who beareth the sin of the world!
30 Aywoo nga ywembe ywa nilongela makowe gake natibaya, “Ywembe ywaisa kunchogo kwango nga nkolo kuliko nenga, kwa mana abile kabla yango.'
This is he concerning whom I said, After me cometh a man, and he was before me, because he is anterior to me.
31 Hata nenga nintangite kwaa ywembe, lakini ipangilwe nyoo ili aitambulishe mu'Israeli, naisile kwabatiza kwa mase.”
And I knew him not, but that he should be made known unto Isroel, therefore have I come with waters to baptize.
32 Yohana atishuhudia, “Namweni Roho kuoma kumaunde mpwano wa ua, ni abile nnani yake.
And Juchanon testified and said, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven as a dove, and it remained upon him.
33 Nenga nintangite kwaa lakini ywembe ywanitumile ili niabatize kwa mase anibakiye,'yolo ywabile lola Roho kauluka no tama nnani yake, Aywoo nga aabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.'
And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me, He upon whom thou seest the Spirit descend and remain, this baptizeth with the Spirit of Holiness:
34 Namweni na kumshuhudia yolo nga Mwana wa Nnongo.”
and I saw, and bare witness that this is the Son of Aloha
35 Kae lisoba lyanaibele Yohana ayemi pamope ni anapunzi bake abele,
And the day after Juchanon stood, and two of his disciples;
36 bamweni Yesu katyanga ni Yohana kabaya, “Linga mwana ngondolo wa Nnongo!”
and, contemplating Jeshu as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha!
37 Anapunzi abele kaban'yowa Yohana kabaya aga kaban'yangwa Yesu.
And his two disciples heard him as he spake, and they went after Jeshu.
38 Kae Yesu atikelebuka ni kuabona anapunzi balo bakinkengama, ni kabammakiya, “Mwapala namani? Kaban'yangwa, “Rabbi, (maana yake 'mwalimu,' utama kwaako?”
And Jeshu turned (himself), and saw them coming after him, and said to them, Whom seek you? They say to him, Raban, where dwellest thou?
39 Kaabakiya, “Muiche na mubweni, “Boka po kabayenda ni kubona pandu abile akitama, batitama pamope naywembe lisoba lelo, kwa mana ibile kati saa komi.
He saith to them, Come and see. And they went and saw where he dwelt; and they were with him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.
40 Yumo nkati ya balo abele kaban'yowa Yohana kalongela ni boka po kankengama Yesu abile Andrea, nnuna wake Simoni Petro.
Now one of those who heard Juchanon and went after Jeshu, was Andreas, the brother of Shemun.
41 Amweni nnongo bake Simoni ni kummakiya, “Tumweni masihi” (maana yake Kristo)
This saw first Shemun his brother, and said to him, We have found the Meshicha;
42 Atikunneta kwa Yesu. Yesu atikunlola ni kubaya, “Wenga wa Simoni mwana wa Yohana “wakemilwe Kefa,” (maana yake 'Petro')
and he brought him to Jeshu. And Jeshu saw him, and said, Thou art Shemun bar Jona; thou shalt be called Kipha.
43 Lisoba lya isile palyo Yesu kabapala kuboka kuyendya Galilaya, ampatike Filipo no kum'bakiya, “Ngengame nenga.”
AND the day following Jeshu willed to go forth into Galila. And he found Philipos, and said to him, Come after me.
44 Filipo ywabile mwenyeji wa Bethsaida mji wa Andrea ni Petro.
Now Philipos was from Beth-tsaida, from the city of Andreas and of Shemun.
45 Filipo ampatike Nathanaeli ni kummakiya, Tuweni yolo ywaandikilwe habari zake mu saliya ya manabii. Yesu mwana wa Yusufu, kuoma Nazareti.
Philipos found Nathanael, and said to him, Him of whom Musha in the law, and the prophets, did write we have found, (and) that Jeshu (is) he, the son of Jauseph who is from Natsrath.
46 Nathanieli kammakiya, “Je kilebe kinoite chalowa boka Nazareti?” Filipo kammakiya, Uiche ni ubone.”
Saith to him Nathanael, From Natsrath can any good thing be? Philipos saith to him, Come and see.
47 Yesu amweni Nathanieli kaisa kwake nobaya, “Linga, mwisaeli ywa kweli abile kwaa ni ubocho nkati yake!
And Jeshu saw Nathanael as he was coming to him, and said of him, Behold truly a son of Isroel who hath no guile in him.
48 Nathanieli kammakiya “Unitangite kwaa nenga?” Yesu kayangwa ni kummakiya, “Kabla Filipo akukema kwaa paubile pae ya mtini, natikubona.”
Nathanael saith to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jeshu saith to him, While yet Philipos had not called thee, while thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanieli kayangwa, “Rabbi wenga wa mwana wa Nnongo! wenga wa mpwalume wa Israeli”!
Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabi, thou art the Son of Aloha himself, thou art the very King of Isroel.
50 Yesu kayangwa ni kummakiya, kwa mana nikumakiye,'natikubona pae ya mtini' je waamini? walowa bona makowe makolo kuliko aga.”
Jeshu saith to him, Upon my telling thee that I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Greater things than these thou shalt see.
51 Yesu kabaya, Amini amini naabakiya mwalowa kubona maunde gayongolilwe, ni kubona malaika kabaoboka ni uluka nnani ya mwana wa Adamu.”
He saith to him, Amen, amen, I say to you, Hereafter you shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of Aloha ascending and descending unto the Son of man.
