< Yohana 1 >

1 Hapo mwanzo alikuwako Neno, huyo Neno alikuwa pamoja na Mungu, naye Neno alikuwa Mungu.

2 Tangu mwanzo huyo Neno alikuwa pamoja na Mungu.
ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ͡ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
3 Vitu vyote viliumbwa kwa yeye, wala pasipo yeye hakuna chochote kilichoumbwa ambacho kimeumbwa.

4 Ndani yake ndimo ulimokuwa uzima na huo uzima ulikuwa nuru ya watu.

5 Nuru hungʼaa gizani nalo giza halikuishinda.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ϥⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲧⲁϩⲟϥ·
6 Alikuja mtu mmoja aliyetumwa kutoka kwa Mungu, jina lake Yohana.
ⲋ̅ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ.
7 Alikuja kama shahidi apate kuishuhudia hiyo nuru, ili kwa kupitia kwake watu wote waweze kuamini.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ.
8 Yeye mwenyewe hakuwa ile nuru, bali alikuja kuishuhudia hiyo nuru.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲉϥⲉⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ.
9 Kwamba nuru halisi, imwangaziayo kila mtu ilikuwa inakuja ulimwenguni.

10 Huyo Neno alikuwako ulimwenguni na ingawa ulimwengu uliumbwa kupitia kwake, haukumtambua.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ̅.
11 Alikuja kwa walio wake, lakini wao hawakumpokea.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲓ̈ ϣⲁⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲓⲧϥ̅.
12 Bali wote waliompokea, aliwapa uwezo wa kufanyika watoto wa Mungu, ndio wale waliaminio jina lake.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ.
13 Hawa ndio wasiozaliwa kwa damu, wala kwa mapenzi ya mwili au kwa mapenzi ya mtu, bali kwa mapenzi ya Mungu.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲥⲛⲟϥ ϩⲓⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
14 Neno alifanyika mwili, akakaa miongoni mwetu, nasi tukauona utukufu wake, utukufu kama wa Mwana pekee atokaye kwa Baba, amejaa neema na kweli.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁϥⲣ̅ⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲓⲙⲉ.
15 Yohana alishuhudia habari zake, akapaza sauti, akisema, “Huyu ndiye yule niliyewaambia kwamba, ‘Yeye ajaye baada yangu ni mkuu kuniliko mimi, kwa kuwa alikuwepo kabla yangu.’”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϥⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲉ͡ⲓ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲁϩⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ
16 Kutokana na ukamilifu wake, sisi sote tumepokea neema juu ya neema.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϫⲱⲕ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ.
17 Kwa kuwa sheria ilitolewa kwa mkono wa Mose, lakini neema na kweli imekuja kupitia Yesu Kristo.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ. ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲱⲱⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
18 Hakuna mtu yeyote aliyemwona Mungu wakati wowote, ila ni Mungu Mwana pekee, aliye kifuani mwa Baba ndiye ambaye amemdhihirisha.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲩⲛϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
19 Huu ndio ushuhuda wa Yohana wakati Wayahudi walipowatuma makuhani na Walawi kutoka Yerusalemu kumuuliza, “Wewe ni nani?”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲛⲙ̅ϩⲉⲛⲗⲉⲩⲉ͡ⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲛⲓⲙ.
20 Yohana alikiri waziwazi pasipo kuficha akasema, “Mimi si Kristo.”
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡ̅ϥⲁⲣⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
21 Wakamuuliza, “Wewe ni nani basi? Je, wewe ni Eliya?” Yeye akajibu, “Hapana, mimi siye.” “Je, wewe ni yule Nabii?” Akajibu, “Hapana.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ.
22 Ndipo wakasema, “Basi tuambie wewe ni nani ili tupate jibu la kuwapelekea wale waliotutuma. Wewe wasemaje juu yako mwenyewe?”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ. ⲉⲕϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲕ̅.
23 Akawajibu kwa maneno ya nabii Isaya, akisema, “Mimi ni sauti ya mtu aliaye nyikani, ‘Yanyoosheni mapito ya Bwana.’”
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲡϫⲁⲓ̈ⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲏⲥⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
24 Basi walikuwa wametumwa watu kutoka kwa Mafarisayo
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ
25 wakamuuliza, “Kama wewe si Kristo, wala si Eliya na wala si yule Nabii, kwa nini basi unabatiza?”
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲕⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲏⲗⲉ͡ⲓⲁⲥ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
26 Yohana akawajibu, “Mimi ninabatiza kwa maji, lakini katikati yenu yupo mtu msiyemjua.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓ̈ⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ϥⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ

28 Mambo haya yote yalitukia huko Bethania, ngʼambo ya Mto Yordani, mahali Yohana alipokuwa akibatiza.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁ ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲣⲇⲁⲛⲏⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
29 Siku iliyofuata, Yohana alimwona Yesu akimjia akasema, “Tazama, Mwana-Kondoo wa Mungu aichukuaye dhambi ya ulimwengu!
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϥⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.

31 Mimi mwenyewe sikumfahamu, lakini sababu ya kuja nikibatiza kwa maji ni ili yeye apate kufunuliwa kwa Israeli.”

32 Kisha Yohana akatoa ushuhuda huu: “Nilimwona Roho akishuka kutoka mbinguni kama hua, akakaa juu yake.

33 Mimi nisingemtambua, lakini yeye aliyenituma nibatize kwa maji alikuwa ameniambia, ‘Yule mtu utakayemwona Roho akimshukia na kukaa juu yake, huyo ndiye atakayebatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.’

35 Siku iliyofuata, Yohana alikuwa huko tena pamoja na wanafunzi wake wawili.
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ
36 Alipomwona Yesu akipita, akasema, “Tazama, Mwana-Kondoo wa Mungu!”
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϩⲓⲉ͡ⲓⲃ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
37 Wale wanafunzi wawili walipomsikia Yohana akisema haya, wakamfuata Yesu.

38 Yesu akageuka, akawaona wakimfuata akawauliza, “Mnataka nini?” Wakamwambia, “Rabi,” (maana yake Mwalimu), “Unaishi wapi?”

39 Yesu akawajibu, “Njooni, nanyi mtapaona!” Hivyo wakaenda na kupaona mahali alipokuwa anaishi, wakakaa naye siku ile, kwa kuwa ilikuwa yapata saa kumi.

40 Andrea nduguye Simoni Petro, alikuwa mmoja wa wale wawili waliosikia yale Yohana aliyokuwa amesema, naye ndiye alimfuata Yesu.

41 Kitu cha kwanza Andrea alichofanya ni kumtafuta Simoni nduguye na kumwambia, “Tumemwona Masiya” (yaani, Kristo).

42 Naye akamleta kwa Yesu. Yesu akamwangalia na kusema, “Wewe ni Simoni mwana wa Yohana. Utaitwa Kefa” (ambalo limetafsiriwa Petro).

43 Siku iliyofuata Yesu aliamua kwenda Galilaya. Akamkuta Filipo, akamwambia, “Nifuate.”

44 Basi Filipo alikuwa mwenyeji wa Bethsaida, mji alikotoka Andrea na Petro.

45 Filipo naye akamkuta Nathanaeli na kumwambia, “Tumemwona yeye ambaye Mose aliandika habari zake katika Sheria na ambaye pia manabii waliandika kumhusu, yaani, Yesu wa Nazareti, mwana wa Yosefu.”

46 Nathanaeli akauliza, “Nazareti! Je, kitu chochote chema chaweza kutoka Nazareti?” Filipo akamwambia, “Njoo uone.”

47 Yesu alipomwona Nathanaeli anakaribia, akanena habari zake akasema, “Tazama huyu ni Mwisraeli kweli kweli; hana hila ndani yake.”

48 Nathanaeli akamuuliza, “Umenifahamuje?” Yesu akamjibu, “Nilikuona ulipokuwa bado uko chini ya mtini, kabla hata Filipo hajakuita.”
