Yohana 1
1 Hapo Mwanzo, Neno alikuwako; naye alikuwa na Mungu, naye alikuwa Mungu.
ⲁ̅ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ͡ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ.
2 Tangu mwanzo Neno alikuwa na Mungu.
ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ͡ⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
3 Kwa njia yake vitu vyote viliumbwa; hakuna hata kiumbe kimoja kilichoumbwa pasipo yeye.
ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϣⲱⲡⲉ. ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ
4 Yeye alikuwa chanzo cha uhai na uhai huo ulikuwa mwanga wa watu.
ⲇ̅ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
5 Na mwanga huo huangaza gizani, nalo giza halikuweza kuushinda.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ϥⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲧⲁϩⲟϥ·
6 Mungu alimtuma mtu mmoja jina lake Yohane,
ⲋ̅ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ.
7 ambaye alikuja kuwaambia watu juu ya huo mwanga. Alikuja ili kwa ujumbe wake watu wote wapate kuamini.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ.
8 Yeye hakuwa huo mwanga, ila alikuja tu kuwaambia watu juu ya huo mwanga.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲉϥⲉⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ.
9 Huu ndio mwanga halisi, mwanga unaokuja ulimwenguni, na kuwaangazia watu wote.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ͡ⲉ ⲉⲧⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
10 Basi, Neno alikuwako ulimwenguni; na kwa njia yake ulimwengu uliumbwa, lakini ulimwengu haukumtambua.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ̅.
11 Alikuja katika nchi yake mwenyewe, nao walio wake hawakumpokea.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲓ̈ ϣⲁⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲓⲧϥ̅.
12 Lakini wale wote waliompokea na kumwamini, hao aliwapa uwezo wa kuwa watoto wa Mungu.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ.
13 Hawa wamekuwa watoto wa Mungu si kwa uwezo wa kibinadamu, wala kwa nguvu za kimwili, wala kwa mapenzi ya mtu, bali Mungu mwenyewe ndiye baba yao.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲥⲛⲟϥ ϩⲓⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
14 Naye Neno akawa mwanadamu, akakaa kwetu. Nasi tumeuona utukufu wake, utukufu wake yeye aliye Mwana wa pekee wa Baba; amejaa neema na ukweli.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁϥⲣ̅ⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲓⲙⲉ.
15 Yohane aliwaambia watu habari zake, akasema kwa sauti, “Huyu ndiye niliyemtaja wakati niliposema: Anakuja mtu mmoja baada yangu ambaye ni mkuu kuliko mimi, maana alikuwako kabla mimi sijazaliwa.”
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 tumepokea neema mfululizo.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϫⲱⲕ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ.
17 Maana Mungu alitoa Sheria kwa njia ya Mose, lakini neema na kweli vimekuja kwa njia ya Kristo.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ. ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ϩⲱⲱⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
18 Hakuna mtu aliyemwona Mungu wakati wowote ule. Mwana wa pekee aliye sawa na Mungu ambaye ameungana na Baba, ndiye aliyetujulisha habari za Mungu.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲩⲛϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
19 Huu ndio ushahidi Yohane alioutoa wakati viongozi wa Wayahudi kule Yerusalemu walipowatuma makuhani wa Walawi kwake wamwulize: “Wewe u nani?”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲛⲙ̅ϩⲉⲛⲗⲉⲩⲉ͡ⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲛⲓⲙ.
20 Yohane hakukataa kujibu swali hilo, bali alisema waziwazi, “Mimi siye Kristo.”
ⲕ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡ̅ϥⲁⲣⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
21 Hapo wakamwuliza, “Basi, wewe ni nani? Je, wewe ni Eliya?” Yohane akajibu, “La, mimi siye.” Wakamwuliza, “Je, wewe ni yule nabii?” Yohane akawajibu, “La!”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ.
22 Nao wakamwuliza, “Basi, wewe ni nani? Wasema nini juu yako mwenyewe? Tuambie, ili tuwapelekee jibu wale waliotutuma.”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϫⲓⲡⲟⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ. ⲉⲕϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧⲕ̅.
23 Yohane akawajibu, “Mimi ndiye yule ambaye nabii Isaya alisema habari zake: Sauti ya mtu imesikika jangwani: Nyoosheni njia ya Bwana.”
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲡϫⲁⲓ̈ⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲏⲥⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
24 Hao watu walikuwa wametumwa na Mafarisayo.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ
25 Basi, wakamwuliza Yohane, “Kama wewe si Kristo, wala Eliya, wala yule nabii, mbona wabatiza?”
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲕⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲏⲗⲉ͡ⲓⲁⲥ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
26 Yohane akawajibu, “Mimi nabatiza kwa maji, lakini yuko mmoja kati yenu, msiyemjua bado.

28 Mambo haya yalifanyika huko Bethania, ng'ambo ya mto Yordani ambako Yohane alikuwa anabatiza.

29 Kesho yake, Yohane alimwona Yesu akimjia, akasema, “Huyu ndiye Mwana-kondoo wa Mungu aondoaye dhambi ya ulimwengu!

32 Huu ndio ushahidi Yohane alioutoa: “Nilimwona Roho akishuka kama njiwa kutoka mbinguni na kutua juu yake.

33 Mimi sikumjua, lakini yule aliyenituma nikabatize watu kwa maji alikuwa ameniambia: Mtu yule utakayemwona Roho akimshukia kutoka mbinguni na kukaa juu yake, huyo ndiye anayebatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.

35 Kesho yake, Yohane alikuwa tena mahali hapo pamoja na wanafunzi wake wawili.

36 Alipomwona Yesu akipita akasema, “Tazameni! Huyu ndiye Mwana-kondoo wa Mungu.”

37 Hao wanafunzi walimsikia Yohane akisema maneno hayo, wakamfuata Yesu.

38 Basi, Yesu aligeuka, na alipowaona hao wanafunzi wanamfuata, akawauliza, “Mnatafuta nini?” Nao wakamjibu, “Rabi (yaani Mwalimu), unakaa wapi?”

39 Yesu akawaambia, “Njoni, nanyi mtaona.” Hao wanafunzi wakamfuata, wakaona mahali alipokuwa anakaa, wakashinda naye siku hiyo. Ilikuwa yapata saa kumi jioni.

40 Andrea, nduguye Simoni Petro, alikuwa mmoja wa hao wawili waliokuwa wamemsikia Yohane akisema hivyo, wakamfuata Yesu.

41 Andrea alimkuta kwanza Simoni, ndugu yake, akamwambia, “Tumemwona Masiha” (maana yake Kristo).

42 Kisha akampeleka Simoni kwa Yesu. Naye Yesu akamtazama Simoni akasema, “Wewe ni Simoni mwana wa Yohane. Sasa utaitwa Kefa.” (maana yake ni Petro, yaani, “Mwamba.”)

43 Kesho yake Yesu aliamua kwenda Galilaya. Basi, akamkuta Filipo, akamwambia, “Nifuate.”

45 Naye Filipo akamkuta Nathanieli, akamwambia, “Tumemwona yule ambaye Mose aliandika juu yake katika kitabu cha Sheria, na ambaye manabii waliandika habari zake, yaani Yesu Mwana wa Yosefu, kutoka Nazareti.”

46 Naye Nathanieli akamwuliza Filipo, “Je, kitu chema chaweza kutoka Nazareti?” Filipo akamwambia, “Njoo uone.”

47 Yesu alipomwona Nathanieli akimjia alisema juu yake, “Tazameni! Huyo ni Mwisraeli halisi: hamna hila ndani yake.”
