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 God was the Word.
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 through Him came into being, and without Him came into being not even one [thing] that has come into being.
4 Jireenyi isa keessa ture; jireenyi sunis ifa namootaa ture.
In Him life was, and the life was the light of men,
5 Ifni sun dukkana keessatti ni ibsa; dukkanni garuu isa hin moʼanne.
And the Light in the darkness shines, and the darkness it not grasped [it].
6 Nama Waaqa biraa ergame kan maqaan isaa Yohannis jedhamu tokkotu ture.
There came a man sent from God, [the] name to Him [was] John.
7 Innis akka namni hundinuu karaa isaatiin amanuuf dhuga baatuu taʼee waaʼee ifa sanaa dhugaa baʼuuf dhufe.
He came as a witness that he may testify concerning the Light, that all may believe through him.
8 Waaʼee ifa sanaa dhugaa baʼuu dhufe malee inni mataan isaa ifa hin turre.
Not was He the Light, but that he may witness concerning the Light.
9 Ifni dhugaa kan nama hundaaf ifa kennu sun gara addunyaa dhufaa ture.
Was the Light true who enlightens every man coming into the world.
10 Inni addunyaa keessa ture; addunyaan isaan uumame; addunyaan garuu isa hin beekne.
In the world He was, and the world through Him came into being, and the world Him not knew.
11 Innis gara saba isaa dhufe; sabni isaa garuu isa hin fudhanne.
To [His] own He came, and [His] own Him not received.
12 Warra isa fudhatanii maqaa isaatti amananiif garuu akka ijoollee Waaqaa taʼaniif mirga kenne.
As many as however received Him, He gave to them authority children of God to be, to those believing in the name of Him,
13 Isaanis Waaqa irraa dhalatan malee dhiiga irraa yookaan fedhii foonii irraa yookaan fedhii dhiiraa irraa hin dhalanne.
who not [born] of blood nor [born] of will of flesh nor [born] of will of man but of God were born.
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 flesh became and He dwelt among us, and we beheld the glory of Him, a glory as of an only begotten from [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 witnesses concerning Him and he has cried out saying; This was He (of whom I was saying; *NK(o)*) The [One] after me coming precedence over me has, because before me He was.’
16 Guutama isaa irraas hundi keenya ayyaana irratti ayyaana arganneerra.
(For *N(K)O*) from the fullness of Him we ourselves all have received then grace for grace.
17 Seerri karaa Museetiin kennameetii; ayyaannii fi dhugaan garuu karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiitiin dhufe.
For the law through Moses was given, grace and truth through Jesus Christ came.
18 Eenyu iyyuu takkumaa Waaqa hin argine; garuu Ilma Tokkicha Abbaa bira jiru sanatu isa beeksise.
God no [one] has seen ever yet; (the *ko*) only begotten (God *N(K)O*) who is being in the bosom of the Father, He 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 the testimony of John when sent (to him *no*) the Jews from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they may ask him; You yourself who are?
20 Inni dhugaa baʼe malee hin ganne; “Ani Kiristoos miti” jedhee dhugaa baʼe.
And he confessed and not denied but confessed that I myself not am 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? You yourself Elijah are And he says; Not I am. The prophet are you yourself? 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? That an answer we may give to those having sent us; what say you about yourself?
23 Yohannisis dubbii Isaayyaas raajichi dubbate sanaan deebisee, “Ani sagalee gammoojjii keessaa, ‘Gooftaaf karaa qajeelchaa’ jedhee iyyu sanaa dha” jedheen.
He was saying; I myself [am] a voice crying in the wilderness; do make straight the way of [the] Lord; even as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 Fariisonni ergaman tokko tokkos,
And (those *k*) sent were out from the Pharisees
25 akkana jedhanii isa gaafatan; “Ati erga Kiristoos yookaan Eeliyaas yookaan raajicha taʼuu baattee maaliif cuuphxa ree?”
And they asked him and they said to him; Why then baptize you if you yourself not are the Christ (nor *N(k)O*) Elijah (nor *N(k)O*) the prophet?
26 Yohannis immoo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani bishaaniin nan cuupha; namni isin isa hin beekne tokko garuu isin gidduu dhaabata.
Answered them John saying; I myself baptize with water; [in the] midst (now *k*) of you (he has stood *NK(o)*) whom you yourselves not know,
27 Innis isa na duubaan dhufu kan ani hidhaa kophee isaa iyyuu hiikuufii hin mallee dha.”
(he himself is *k*) the [One] after me coming, (who before me has been; *K*) of whom not am I myself worthy that I may untie of Him the strap of the sandal.
28 Wanni kun hundi Yordaanos gama iddoo Yohannis itti cuuphaa ture Biitaaniyaa keessatti taʼe.
These things in (Bethany *N(k)O*) took place across the Jordan where was (*no*) John baptizing.
29 Guyyaa itti aanutti Yohannis utuu Yesuus gara isaa dhufuu argee akkana jedhe; “Ilaa Hoolaa Waaqaa isa cubbuu addunyaa balleessu!
On the next day he sees (John *k*) Jesus coming to him and says; Behold the Lamb of God, who is taking 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.
He it is (concerning *N(k)O*) whom I myself said; After me comes a man who precedence over me has because before me He was.
31 Ani mataan koo iyyuu isa hin beekun ture; sababiin ani bishaaniin cuuphaa dhufeef garuu akka inni saba Israaʼelitti mulʼifamuuf.”
And I myself And I myself not knew Him, but that He may be revealed to Israel, because of this came I myself with (*k*) water baptizing.
32 Yohannis itti fufee akkana jedhee dhugaa baʼe; “Ani utuu Hafuurri akkuma gugeetti samii irraa gad buʼee isa irra jiraatuu nan arge.
And bore witness John saying that I have beheld the Spirit descending (as *N(k)O*) a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon 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 myself And I myself not knew Him, but the [One] having sent me to baptize with water, He to me said; Upon whom maybe you may see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, He is the [One] baptizing with [the] Spirit Holy.
34 Anis argeera; akka inni Ilma Waaqaa taʼes dhugaa baʼeera.”
And I myself And I myself have seen and have borne witness that this is the (Son *NK(O)*) of God.
35 Guyyaa itti aanutti Yohannis ammas barattoota isaa keessaa lama wajjin achi ture.
On the next day again had stood John and of the disciples of him two.
36 Innis utuu Yesuus achi irra darbuu argee, “Ilaa, Hoolaa Waaqaa!” jedhe.
And having looked at Jesus walking he says; Behold the Lamb of God!
37 Barattoonni lamaanis waan kana dubbachuu isaa dhagaʼanii Yesuus duukaa buʼan.
And heard the two disciples of Him [Him] speaking 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.
Having turned then Jesus and having beheld them following He says to them; What seek you? And they said to Him; Rabbi which is to say (meaning *N(k)O*) 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 says to them; do come and (you will behold. *N(k)O*) They went (therefore *NO*) and saw where He abides, and with Him they stayed the day that; [The] hour (now *k*) was about [the] tenth.
40 Warra waan Yohannis dubbate dhagaʼanii Yesuus duukaa buʼan lamaan keessaa inni tokko Indiriiyaas obboleessa Simoon Phexros ture.
Was Andrew the brother of Simon Peter one of the two which having heard from John and having followed Him.
41 Innis duraan dursee obboleessa isaa Simoonin argatee, “Nu Masiihicha arganneerra” jedheen; Masiihii jechuun Kiristoos jechuu dha.
Finds he (first *N(k)O*) the brother [his] own Simon and he says to him; We have found the Messiah, which is being translated (*k*) Christ.
42 Indiriiyaasis Simʼoonin gara Yesuusitti fide. Yesuusis isa ilaalee, “Ati Simoon ilma Yohannis, Keefaa jedhamtee ni waamamta” jedheen. Keefaa jechuun Phexros jechuu dha.
(and *k*) He led him to Jesus. Having looked at (now *k*) him Jesus said; You yourself are Simon the son (of John; *N(K)O*) You yourself will be called Cephas which means Peter.
43 Yesuusis guyyaa itti aanutti Galiilaa dhaquu barbaade. Innis Fiiliphoosin argee, “Na duukaa buʼi” jedheen.
On the next day He desired to go forth into Galilee And He finds Philip And says to him Jesus; do follow Me.
44 Fiiliphoosis akkuma Indiriiyaasii fi Phexros nama magaalaa Beetisayidaa ture.
Was now Philip from Bethsaida, from 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.
Finds Philip Nathanael and says to him; [Him] whom wrote of Moses in the Law also the prophets, we have found, Jesus (*ko*) son of Joseph of Nazareth.
46 Naatnaaʼelis, “Naazreeti keessaa wanni gaariin baʼuu ni dandaʼaa?” jedhee gaafate. Fiiliphoosis, “Kottuutii ilaali” jedheen.
And said to him Nathanael; Out of Nazareth is able any good thing to be? Says to him (*no*) Philip; do come and do see.
47 Yesuusis utuu Naatnaaʼel gara isaa dhufuu argee, “Ilaa Israaʼelicha dhugaa kan haxxummaan keessa hin jirre!” jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbate.
Saw Jesus Nathanael coming to Him and He says concerning him; Behold truly an Israelite in whom deceit not there is.
48 Naatnaaʼelis, “Ati eessatti na beekta?” jedheen. Yesuusis, “Utuu Fiiliphoos si hin waamin dura yeroo ati muka harbuu jala turtettin si arge” jedhee deebiseef.
Says to Him Nathanael; From where me know You? Answered (*k*) Jesus and said to him; Before you Philip calling being under the fig tree I saw you.
49 Naatnaaʼelis, “Yaa Barsiisaa, ati Ilma Waaqaa ti! Ati Mootii Israaʼel” jedheen.
Answered to him Nathanael (and says: *k*) Rabbi, You yourself are the Son of God, You yourself (*k*) King are of Israel.
50 Yesuus immoo akkana jedheen; “Ati sababii ani muka harbuu jalattan si arge siin jedheef amantee? Waan kana caalu iyyuu arguuf jirta.”
Answered Jesus and said to him; Because I said to you (that *no*) I saw you under the fig tree, believe you? Greater things than these You will see.
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 says to him; Amen Amen I say to all of you (from now *K*) you will behold the heaven having opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
