Yohannis 1
1 Jalqabatti dubbiitu ture; dubbichis Waaqa wajjin ture; dubbiin sunis Waaqa ture.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Innis jalqabatti Waaqa wajjin ture.
He was in the beginning with God.
3 Wanni hundinuu isaan taʼe; waan taʼe hunda keessaas wanni isa malee taʼe tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
4 Jireenyi isa keessa ture; jireenyi sunis ifa namootaa ture.
In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
5 Ifni sun dukkana keessatti ni ibsa; dukkanni garuu isa hin moʼanne.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
6 Nama Waaqa biraa ergame kan maqaan isaa Yohannis jedhamu tokkotu ture.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Innis akka namni hundinuu karaa isaatiin amanuuf dhuga baatuu taʼee waaʼee ifa sanaa dhugaa baʼuuf dhufe.
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Waaʼee ifa sanaa dhugaa baʼuu dhufe malee inni mataan isaa ifa hin turre.
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 Ifni dhugaa kan nama hundaaf ifa kennu sun gara addunyaa dhufaa ture.
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 Inni addunyaa keessa ture; addunyaan isaan uumame; addunyaan garuu isa hin beekne.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
11 Innis gara saba isaa dhufe; sabni isaa garuu isa hin fudhanne.
He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
12 Warra isa fudhatanii maqaa isaatti amananiif garuu akka ijoollee Waaqaa taʼaniif mirga kenne.
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,
13 Isaanis Waaqa irraa dhalatan malee dhiiga irraa yookaan fedhii foonii irraa yookaan fedhii dhiiraa irraa hin dhalanne.
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Dubbiin foon taʼee nu gidduu jiraate. Nus ulfina isaa, ulfina Ilma Tokkicha ayyaanaa fi dhugaadhaan guutamee Abbaa biraa dhufe sanaa argineerra.
And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Yohannisis waaʼee isaa dhugaa baʼe. Sagalee isaas ol fudhatee akkana jedhe; “Inni ani, ‘Inni na duubaan dhufu na caala; inni na dura tureetii’ jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbadhe sun isa kana.”
John testified about him and shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
16 Guutama isaa irraas hundi keenya ayyaana irratti ayyaana arganneerra.
For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
17 Seerri karaa Museetiin kennameetii; ayyaannii fi dhugaan garuu karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiitiin dhufe.
For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Eenyu iyyuu takkumaa Waaqa hin argine; garuu Ilma Tokkicha Abbaa bira jiru sanatu isa beeksise.
No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
19 Yommuu Yihuudoonni lubootaa fi Lewwota Yerusaalem Yohannisitti erganii, “Ati eenyu?” jedhanii gaafachiisanitti dhuga baʼumsi Yohannis kenne kana ture.
And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
20 Inni dhugaa baʼe malee hin ganne; “Ani Kiristoos miti” jedhee dhugaa baʼe.
And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Christ."
21 Isaanis, “Yoos ati eenyu ree? Eeliyaas moo?” jedhanii isa gaafatan. Innis, “Lakki, ani isa miti” jedhee deebiseef. Isaanis, “Yoos ati Raajichaa ree?” jedhaniin. Inni immoo, “Lakki” jedheen.
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
22 Isaanis, “Ati eenyu ree? Akka warra nu erganiif deebii kenninuuf ati eenyu ofiin jetta?” jedhaniin.
They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
23 Yohannisis dubbii Isaayyaas raajichi dubbate sanaan deebisee, “Ani sagalee gammoojjii keessaa, ‘Gooftaaf karaa qajeelchaa’ jedhee iyyu sanaa dha” jedheen.
He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
24 Fariisonni ergaman tokko tokkos,
(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
25 akkana jedhanii isa gaafatan; “Ati erga Kiristoos yookaan Eeliyaas yookaan raajicha taʼuu baattee maaliif cuuphxa ree?”
And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
26 Yohannis immoo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani bishaaniin nan cuupha; namni isin isa hin beekne tokko garuu isin gidduu dhaabata.
John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
27 Innis isa na duubaan dhufu kan ani hidhaa kophee isaa iyyuu hiikuufii hin mallee dha.”
He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
28 Wanni kun hundi Yordaanos gama iddoo Yohannis itti cuuphaa ture Biitaaniyaa keessatti taʼe.
These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Guyyaa itti aanutti Yohannis utuu Yesuus gara isaa dhufuu argee akkana jedhe; “Ilaa Hoolaa Waaqaa isa cubbuu addunyaa balleessu!
The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
30 Inni ani, ‘Namni na duubaan dhufu na caala; inni na dura tureetii’ jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbadhe sun isa kana.
This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
31 Ani mataan koo iyyuu isa hin beekun ture; sababiin ani bishaaniin cuuphaa dhufeef garuu akka inni saba Israaʼelitti mulʼifamuuf.”
I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
32 Yohannis itti fufee akkana jedhee dhugaa baʼe; “Ani utuu Hafuurri akkuma gugeetti samii irraa gad buʼee isa irra jiraatuu nan arge.
And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 Inni akka ani bishaaniin cuuphuuf na erge sun, ‘Namichi ati utuu Hafuurri gad buʼee isa irra jiraatuu argitu sun, isa Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan cuuphu dha’ jedhee utuu natti himuu baatee silaa ani iyyuu isa hin beeku ture.
And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
34 Anis argeera; akka inni Ilma Waaqaa taʼes dhugaa baʼeera.”
And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
35 Guyyaa itti aanutti Yohannis ammas barattoota isaa keessaa lama wajjin achi ture.
Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 Innis utuu Yesuus achi irra darbuu argee, “Ilaa, Hoolaa Waaqaa!” jedhe.
and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
37 Barattoonni lamaanis waan kana dubbachuu isaa dhagaʼanii Yesuus duukaa buʼan.
And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
38 Yesuusis of irra garagalee isa duukaa buʼuu isaanii argee, “Isin maal barbaaddu?” jedheen. Isaanis, “Rabbii, ati eessa jiraatta?” jedhaniin. Rabbii jechuun Barsiisaa jechuu dha.
And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
39 Innis, “Kottaatii ilaalaa” jedheen. Isaanis dhaqanii akka inni eessa jiraatu argan; gaafa sana isa wajjin oolan. Yeroon sunis gara saʼaatii kurnaffaa ture.
He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
40 Warra waan Yohannis dubbate dhagaʼanii Yesuus duukaa buʼan lamaan keessaa inni tokko Indiriiyaas obboleessa Simoon Phexros ture.
One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 Innis duraan dursee obboleessa isaa Simoonin argatee, “Nu Masiihicha arganneerra” jedheen; Masiihii jechuun Kiristoos jechuu dha.
He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Christ).
42 Indiriiyaasis Simʼoonin gara Yesuusitti fide. Yesuusis isa ilaalee, “Ati Simoon ilma Yohannis, Keefaa jedhamtee ni waamamta” jedheen. Keefaa jechuun Phexros jechuu dha.
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, Peter).
43 Yesuusis guyyaa itti aanutti Galiilaa dhaquu barbaade. Innis Fiiliphoosin argee, “Na duukaa buʼi” jedheen.
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
44 Fiiliphoosis akkuma Indiriiyaasii fi Phexros nama magaalaa Beetisayidaa ture.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Fiiliphoos Naatnaaʼelin argee, “Isa Museen kitaaba Seeraa keessatti waaʼee isaa barreessee fi isa raajonnis waaʼee isaa barreessan, ilma Yoosef, Yesuus nama Naazreeti arganneerra” jedheen.
Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
46 Naatnaaʼelis, “Naazreeti keessaa wanni gaariin baʼuu ni dandaʼaa?” jedhee gaafate. Fiiliphoosis, “Kottuutii ilaali” jedheen.
And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
47 Yesuusis utuu Naatnaaʼel gara isaa dhufuu argee, “Ilaa Israaʼelicha dhugaa kan haxxummaan keessa hin jirre!” jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbate.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
48 Naatnaaʼelis, “Ati eessatti na beekta?” jedheen. Yesuusis, “Utuu Fiiliphoos si hin waamin dura yeroo ati muka harbuu jala turtettin si arge” jedhee deebiseef.
Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
49 Naatnaaʼelis, “Yaa Barsiisaa, ati Ilma Waaqaa ti! Ati Mootii Israaʼel” jedheen.
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
50 Yesuus immoo akkana jedheen; “Ati sababii ani muka harbuu jalattan si arge siin jedheef amantee? Waan kana caalu iyyuu arguuf jirta.”
Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
51 Innis itti dabalee, “Ani dhuguman, dhuguman isiniin jedha; samiin banamee utuu ergamoonni Waaqaa Ilma Namaa irra ol baʼanii gad buʼanuu ni argitu” jedheen.
And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
