Johani 1
1 Pakutanga pakanga pane Shoko, uye Shoko rakanga riri kuna Mwari, uye Shoko rakanga riri Mwari.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Iye aiva kuna Mwari kubva pakutanga.
He was in the beginning with God.
3 Zvinhu zvose zvakaitwa kubudikidza naye; kunze kwake hakuna kana chinhu chakaitwa pane izvo zvakaitwa.
All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
4 Maari maiva noupenyu, uye upenyu ihwohwo hwaiva chiedza chavanhu.
In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
5 Chiedza chinovhenekera murima, asi rima harina kuchikunda.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
6 Pakanga pano murume akatumwa achibva kuna Mwari; zita rake rainzi Johani.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Iye akauya sechapupu kuzopupurira chiedza chiya, kuitira kuti vanhu vatende kubudikidza naye.
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Akanga asiri iye chiedza pachake; akauya chete ari sechapupu kuchiedza.
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 Chiedza chezvokwadi chinovhenekera vanhu vose chainge chichizouya munyika.
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 Akanga ari munyika, uye kunyange nyika yakaitwa kubudikidza naye, nyika haina kumuziva.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
11 Akauya kuna avo vakanga vari vake, asi vokwake havana kumugamuchira.
He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
12 Asi kuna vose vakamugamuchira, kuna avo vakatenda muzita rake, akavapa simba rokuti vave vana vaMwari,
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 vana vasina kuberekwa neropa kana nokufunga kwomunhu kana nokuda kwomurume, asi vakaberekwa naMwari.
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Shoko rakava nyama uye rakagara pakati pedu. Takaona kubwinya kwake, kubwinya kwaIye Mumwe Oga, akabva kuna Baba, azere nenyasha uye nechokwadi.
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 Johani anopupura nezvake. Anodanidzira achiti, “Uyu ndiye uya wandakati, ‘Anouya mumashure mangu anondipfuura ini nokuti akanditangira.’”
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 Kubva pakuzara kwake takagamuchira nyasha pamusoro penyasha.
For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
17 Nokuti murayiro wakapiwa kubudikidza naMozisi; nyasha nezvokwadi zvakauya kubudikidza naJesu Kristu.
For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah.
18 Hakuna akamboona Mwari, asi Mwanakomana Iye Mumwe Oga, ari pachipfuva chaBaba, akaita kuti azivikanwe.
No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
19 Zvino uku ndiko kwaiva kupupura kwaJohani vaJudha veJerusarema pavakatuma vaprista navaRevhi kuti vanomubvunza kuti iye aimbova ani.
And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent cohanim and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
20 Haana kurega kupupura, asi akanyatsopupura pachena achiti, “Handisini Kristu.”
And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Messiah."
21 Vakamubvunza vakati, “Zvino ndiwe aniko? Ndiwe Eria here?” Iye akati, “Handizi iye.” “Uri muprofita here?” Akapindura akati, “Kwete.”
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
22 Pakupedzisira vakati, “Ndiwe aniko? Tipindure tigondotaurira vatituma. Unozviti aniko?”
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 Johani akapindura namashoko omuprofita Isaya achiti, “Ndini inzwi reanodana murenje, richiti, ‘Ruramisai nzira yaShe.’”
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 Zvino vamwe vaFarisi vakanga vatumwa
(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
25 vakamubvunza vachiti, “Seiko zvino uchibhabhatidza kana usiri Kristu, kana Eria kana Muprofita?”
And they asked him, "Why then do you immerse, if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
26 Johani akapindura akati, “Ini ndinobhabhatidza nemvura, asi pakati penyu pamire mumwe wamusingazivi.
John answered them, saying, "I immerse in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
27 Ndiye anouya shure kwangu, handikodzeri kusunungura rukanda rweshangu dzake.”
He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
28 Izvi zvose zvakaitika paBhetani mhiri kwaJorodhani, uko kwaibhabhatidzira Johani.
These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was immersing.
29 Chifume chamangwana Johani akaona Jesu achiuya kwaari akati, “Tarirai, Gwayana raMwari, rinobvisa chivi chenyika!
The next day, he saw Yeshua coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
30 Ndiye wandaireva pandakati, ‘Murume anouya shure kwangu akandipfuura nokuti akanditangira.’
This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
31 Ini pachangu ndakanga ndisingamuzivi, asi zvandakauyira ndichibhabhatidza nemvura ndezvokuti iye aratidzwe kuIsraeri.”
I did not know him, but for this reason I came immersing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
32 Ipapo Johani akapupura uchapupu uhu achiti, “Ndakaona mweya achiburuka kubva kudenga akaita senjiva akamhara pamusoro pake.
And John testified, saying, "I saw the Ruach descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 Ndingadai ndisina kumuziva, asi uya akandituma kuti ndizobhabhatidza nemvura ndiye akandiudza achiti, ‘Murume uyo waunoona Mweya achiburuka achigara paari, ndiye achazovabhabhatidza noMweya Mutsvene.’
And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to immerse in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Ruach descending, and remaining on him, this is he who immerses in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.'
34 Ndazviona uye ndinopupura kuti uyu ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.”
And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
35 Chifume chamangwana Johani akanga aripozve navadzidzi vake vaviri.
Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his talmidim,
36 Akati achiona Jesu achipfuura akati, “Tarirai, Gwayana raMwari!”
and he looked at Yeshua as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
37 Vadzidzi vaviri vakati vachimunzwa achitaura izvi, vakatevera Jesu.
And the two talmidim heard him say this, and they followed Yeshua.
38 Jesu akatendeuka akavaona vachitevera akavabvunza akati, “Munodeiko?” Ivo vakati, “‘Rabhi’ (ndiko kuti Mudzidzisi), munogarepiko?”
And Yeshua 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 Akapindura akati, “Uyai muzokuona.” Saka vakaenda vakandoona paaigara, vakaswera naye kwezuva rimwe chete. Yakanga iri nguva inenge yegumi.
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 Andirea mununʼuna waPetro, ndiye mumwe wavaviri vakanga vanzwa zvakanga zvarehwa naJohani uye vakanga vatevera Jesu.
One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Shim'on Peter's brother.
41 Chinhu chokutanga chakaitwa naAndirea ndechokuti akatsvaka Simoni mukoma wake akati kwaari, “Tamuwana Mesiya” (ndiko kuti Kristu).
He first found his own brother, Shim'on, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Anointed One).
42 Uye akauya naye kuna Jesu. Jesu akatarisa kwaari akati, “Ndiwe Simoni mwanakomana waJohani. Iwe uchanzi Kefasi” (ndiko kuti, kana zvichishandurwa, Petro).
He brought him to Yeshua. Yeshua looked at him, and said, "You are Shim'on the son of John. You shall be called Kefa" (which is translated, Peter).
43 Zuva rakatevera Jesu akafunga zvokuenda kuGarirea. Akati awana Firipi akati kwaari, “Nditevere.”
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galil, and he found Philip. And Yeshua said to him, "Follow me."
44 Firipi, aibvawo kuguta reBhetisaidha saAndirea naPetro,
Now Philip was from Beit Tzaidah, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Firipi akawana Natanieri akati kwaari, “Tamuwana uya akanyorwa nezvake naMozisi muMurayiro, uyewo akanyorwa nezvake navaprofita, Jesu weNazareta, mwanakomana waJosefa.”
Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Yeshua of Natzeret, the son of Joseph."
46 Natanieri akati, “Nazareta! Pane chinhu chakanaka chingabva kuNazareta here?” Firipi akati, “Uya uone.”
And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Natzeret?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
47 Jesu akati achiona Natanieri achiuya, akati kwaari, “Houno muIsraeri wechokwadi, asina kunyengera maari.”
Yeshua saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
48 Natanieri akamubvunza akati, “Mandiziva seiko?” Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndakuona pawanga uri pasi pomuonde Firipi asati akudana.”
Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Yeshua answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
49 Ipapo Natanieri akati, “Rabhi, ndimi Mwanakomana waMwari; ndimi Mambo weIsraeri.”
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
50 Jesu akati, “Unotenda nokuti ndakuudza kuti ndakuona uri pasi pomuonde. Uchaona zvinhu zvikuru kupinda izvozvo.”
Yeshua answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
51 Ipapo akatizve, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, muchaona denga richizaruka, uye vatumwa vaMwari vachikwira nokuburuka pamusoro poMwanakomana woMunhu.”
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."
