Yohane 1
1 Ansa na wɔrebɛbɔ wiase no, na Asɛm no wɔ hɔ dedaw. Na Asɛm no ne Onyankopɔn na ɛwɔ hɔ. Na Asɛm no yɛ Onyankopɔn.
IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word himself was with Aloha, and Aloha was the Word himself.
2 Mfiase no, na Asɛm no ne Onyankopɔn na ɛwɔ hɔ.
This was in the beginning with Aloha.
3 Ɛnam ne so na wɔbɔɔ ade nyinaa. Wɔankwati no anyɛ biribiara.
Every thing by his hand was made; and without him also was not one thing made that was made.
4 Ne mu na nkwa wɔ; na saa nkwa no na ɛma nnipa hann.
In him was life, and the life is the light of the sons of man;
5 Hann no hyerɛn wɔ sum mu a sum no ntumi nni hann no so.
and the Light himself in the darkness shineth, and the darkness perceived him not.
6 Onyankopɔn somaa ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yohane.
There was a man who was sent from Aloha, his name (was) Juchanon.
7 Obedii hann no ho adanse sɛnea ɛbɛma nnipa afa ne so agye hann no adi.
He came for the testimony, to testify concerning the Light, that all men might believe through his ministry.
8 Ɛnyɛ ɔno ankasa ne hann no, na mmom, ɔbaa se ɔrebedi hann no ho adanse.
He was not the Light himself, but came to testify concerning the Light.
9 Saa hann yi ne nokware hann a ɛba wiase ma ɛhyerɛn nnipa nyinaa so no.
For that was the true Light that enlighteneth every man who cometh into the world.
10 Saa bere no na Asɛm no wɔ wiase. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ Onyankopɔn nam ne so na ɔbɔɔ wiase de, nanso ɔbaa wiase no, wiase anhu no.
In the world was he, and the world by his hand had been made, and the world knew him not.
11 Ɔbaa nʼankasa ne man mu, nanso ne manfo annye no anto mu.
He came to his own, and his own received him not.
12 Na wɔn a wogyee no, na wogyee ne din dii no, ɔmaa wɔn tumi ma wɔbɛyɛɛ Onyankopɔn mma
But they who received him, he gave to them power, that the sons of Aloha they should become, to those who believe in his name.
13 wɔ honhom fam a emfi onipa anaa ɔhonam fam, na mmom efi Onyankopɔn ankasa.
These, not from blood, nor from the will of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from Aloha, are born.
14 Asɛm no bɛyɛɛ onipa ne yɛn bɛtena ma yehuu nʼanuonyam sɛ ɔba koro a ofi Agya no nkyɛn a adom ne nokware ahyɛ no ma.
And the Word flesh was made, and tabernacled with us; and we saw his glory, the glory as of the one-begotten who (was) from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Yohane kaa ne ho asɛm se, “Oyi ne nea mekaa ne ho asɛm se, ‘Nea odi mʼakyi reba no yɛ ɔkɛse sen me, efisɛ ɔwɔ hɔ ansa na wɔwoo me no.’”
Juchanon testified concerning him, and cried, and said, This is he of whom I said, that he cometh after me, and was before me, because he is anterior to me.
16 Ofi ne mmɔborɔhunu a to ntwa da no mu hyira yɛn nyinaa daa daa.
And from his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
17 Onyankopɔn nam Mose so de mmara maa yɛn, nanso ɛnam Yesu Kristo so na yenyaa adom ne nokware.
For the law by the hand of Musha was given; but the truth and the grace were by Jeshu Meshicha.
18 Obiara nhuu Onyankopɔn da, gye ne Ba koro no a ɔno nso yɛ Onyankopɔn no, nea ɔwɔ Agya no nkyɛn na wada no adi no.
ALOHA no man hath ever seen: the one-begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.
19 Yudafo mpanyin a wɔwɔ Yerusalem somaa asɔfo ne Lewifo kɔɔ Yohane nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Wone Agyenkwa no ana?”
And this was the testimony of Juchanon, when the Jihudoyee sent to him from Urishlem priests and Levoyee to demand of him, Who art thou?
20 Yohane antwentwɛn asɛm no mmuae so. Ɔpaee mu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn prɛko pɛ se, “Ɛnyɛ me ne Agyenkwa no.”
And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Meshicha.
21 Wobisaa no se, “Ɛno de, na wone hena, Elia ana?” Obuaa wɔn se, “Dabi.” Wobisaa no bio se, “Wone Odiyifo no?” Ɔsan buaa wɔn se, “Dabi”.
And they asked him again, What then? art thou Elia? And he said, I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he said, No.
22 Wɔsan bisaa no se, “Ɛno de, na wone hena? Ka kyerɛ yɛn na yɛnkɔbɔ wɔn a wɔsomaa yɛn no amanneɛ. Asɛm bɛn na wowɔ ka fa wo ho?”
And they said to him, And who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 Yohane buaa wɔn se, “Mene nne a efi sare so a ɛteɛ mu sɛnea Odiyifo Yesaia hyɛɛ nkɔm se, ‘Munsiesie mo ho mma Awurade ba a ɔbɛba no.’”
He saith, I am the voice which crieth in the wilderness, Make plain the way of the Lord, as said Eshaia the prophet.
24 Afei wɔn a Farisifo no somaa wɔn no bisaa Yohane bio se,
But they who were sent were from the Pharishee.
25 “Sɛ ɛnyɛ wo ne Agyenkwa no anaa Elia anaa Odiyifo no a, adɛn nti na wobɔ asu?”
And they demanded and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Meshicha, nor Elia, nor the Prophet?
26 Yohane nso buae se, “Me de, nsu na mede bɔ asu, nanso obi wɔ mo mfimfini ha a munnim no,
Juchanon answered and said to them, I baptize you with waters; but he standeth among you whom you know not:
27 a ne mpaboa mpo memfata sɛ meworɔw; ɔno na obedi mʼakyi aba.”
he it is who cometh after me, and he was before me; he, the latchets of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose.
28 Saa asɛm yi sii Betania a ɛwɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya, faako a na Yohane rebɔ asu no.
These things were done in Bethania, at the passage of the Jurdan, where Juchanon was baptizing.
29 Ade kyee a Yohane huu Yesu sɛ ɔreba ne nkyɛn no, ɔteɛɛ mu kae se, “Hwɛ, Onyankopɔn Guamma a oyi wiase bɔne kɔ no!
AND the day after, Juchanon seeth Jeshu, who was coming to him; and he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha, who beareth the sin of the world!
30 Oyi ne nea mekaa ne ho asɛm se, ‘Nea odi mʼakyi reba no yɛ ɔkɛse sen me, efisɛ na ɔwɔ hɔ ansa na mereba.’
This is he concerning whom I said, After me cometh a man, and he was before me, because he is anterior to me.
31 Me de, na minnim no, nanso mede nsu bɛbɔɔ asu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na mɛda no adi akyerɛ Israel.”
And I knew him not, but that he should be made known unto Isroel, therefore have I come with waters to baptize.
32 Na Yohane dii adanse se, “Mihuu Honhom no sɛ asian aba ne so sɛ aborɔnoma a ɔresian afi ɔsoro.
And Juchanon testified and said, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven as a dove, and it remained upon him.
33 Na anka minnim no, nanso bere a Onyankopɔn somaa me se memfa nsu mmɔ asu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Onipa a wubehu sɛ Honhom no besian aba ne so no, ɔno ne nea worehwɛ nʼanim no. Ɔno na ɔde Honhom Kronkron bɛbɔ asu.’
And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me, He upon whom thou seest the Spirit descend and remain, this baptizeth with the Spirit of Holiness:
34 Mahu eyinom nyinaa sɛ aba mu na midi ho adanse sɛ oyi ne Onyankopɔn Ba no.”
and I saw, and bare witness that this is the Son of Aloha
35 Ade kyee a Yohane ne nʼasuafo no mu baanu gyina baabi no, wohuu sɛ Yesu retwa mu.
And the day after Juchanon stood, and two of his disciples;
36 Yohane hwɛɛ no kae se, “Oyi ne Onyankopɔn Guamma no!”
and, contemplating Jeshu as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha!
37 Asuafo baanu no tee nea ɔkae no, wokodii Yesu akyi.
And his two disciples heard him as he spake, and they went after Jeshu.
38 Yesu twaa nʼani huu sɛ wodi nʼakyi no, obisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na morehwehwɛ?” Wɔn nso bisaa no se, “Rabi” (a ne nkyerɛase ne Kyerɛkyerɛfo), “ɛhe na wote?”
And Jeshu turned (himself), and saw them coming after him, and said to them, Whom seek you? They say to him, Raban, where dwellest thou?
39 Obuaa wɔn se, “Mommra mmɛhwɛ.” Enti wɔne no kɔ kɔhwɛɛ faako a ɔte na wɔne no tenaa hɔ fii awia nnɔnnan kosii anwummere.
He saith to them, Come and see. And they went and saw where he dwelt; and they were with him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.
40 Nnipa baanu a wɔtee Yohane asɛm no nti ɛma wokodii Yesu akyi no mu baako ne Simon Petro nua Andrea.
Now one of those who heard Juchanon and went after Jeshu, was Andreas, the brother of Shemun.
41 Ade a edi kan a Andrea yɛe ne sɛ, ɔkɔhwehwɛɛ ne nua Petro ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛahu Agyenkwa no” (Kristo no).
This saw first Shemun his brother, and said to him, We have found the Meshicha;
42 Ɔde Petro kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn. Yesu hwɛɛ Petro dinn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wone Simon, Yohane ba no. Nanso efi nnɛ rekɔ wɔbɛfrɛ wo Kefa” (ɛno ara ne Petro a ne nkyerɛase ne Ɔbotan no).
and he brought him to Jeshu. And Jeshu saw him, and said, Thou art Shemun bar Jona; thou shalt be called Kipha.
43 Ade kyee no, Yesu yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Galilea. Ohuu Filipo ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Di mʼakyi.”
AND the day following Jeshu willed to go forth into Galila. And he found Philipos, and said to him, Come after me.
44 Na Filipo nso fi Betsaida a na Petro ne Andrea nso fi no.
Now Philipos was from Beth-tsaida, from the city of Andreas and of Shemun.
45 Filipo fii hɔ kɔɔ Natanael nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛahu Agyenkwa no a Mose ne adiyifo no hyɛɛ ne ho nkɔm no. Wɔfrɛ no Yesu. Ɔyɛ Yosef a ofi Nasaret no ba.”
Philipos found Nathanael, and said to him, Him of whom Musha in the law, and the prophets, did write we have found, (and) that Jeshu (is) he, the son of Jauseph who is from Natsrath.
46 Natanael bisaa Filipo se, “Ade pa bi betumi afi Nasaret aba?” Filipo nso ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Bra na bɛhwɛ.”
Saith to him Nathanael, From Natsrath can any good thing be? Philipos saith to him, Come and see.
47 Bere a Yesu huu Natanael sɛ ɔreba no, ɔkae se, “Israelni nokwafo ni ampa.”
And Jeshu saw Nathanael as he was coming to him, and said of him, Behold truly a son of Isroel who hath no guile in him.
48 Natanael bisaa Yesu se, “Woyɛɛ dɛn huu sɛnea mete?” Yesu nso buaa no se, “Bere a wowɔ borɔdɔma dua no ase hɔ no na mihuu wo ansa na Filipo rebɛfrɛ wo.”
Nathanael saith to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jeshu saith to him, While yet Philipos had not called thee, while thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 Natanael kae se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, wone Onyankopɔn Ba no, Israelhene no!”
Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabi, thou art the Son of Aloha himself, thou art the very King of Isroel.
50 Yesu bisaa no se, “Esiane sɛ meka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ mihuu wo wɔ borɔdɔma dua no ase nti na wugye di ana? Wubehu nneɛma akɛse a ɛsen eyinom.
Jeshu saith to him, Upon my telling thee that I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Greater things than these thou shalt see.
51 Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se, mubehu sɛ ɔsoro abue na Onyankopɔn abɔfo redi aforosian wɔ Onipa Ba no so.”
He saith to him, Amen, amen, I say to you, Hereafter you shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of Aloha ascending and descending unto the Son of man.
