Yohani 1
1 Kuvutengulilo kwe alyale ulisio, ulisio ujuo alyale palikimo nu Nguluve, kange ulisio alyale ghuse, Nguluve.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Kuhuma kuvute ngulilo, ulisio ujuo alyale palikimo nu Nguluve.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 UNgulve alyapelile ifiinu fyoni kukilila umwene. Nakwekili nambe kimo kino alyapelile kisila kukilila kwa mwene ujuo.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 Mwa mwene mwevulyale uvusumi, uvusumi uvuo vukava lumuli ku vaanhu vooni.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 Ulumuli uluo lumulika mu nghiisi, ingiisi jikunilue kukululema.
And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 UNguluve alyansung'hile umuunhu jumonga juno akatambukagha Yohani.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 UYohani ujuo, alisile kukwoleka imhola isa lumuli uluo, kuuti avaanhu vooni vitike kukilila umwene.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 UYohani ujuo naalyale ghwe lumuli uluo, looli alisile kukwoleka ulumuli.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 Ulumuli uluo ulwa kyang'haani, luno lukava lukwisa muiisi, uluo lukavamulikila avaanhu vooni. Ulumuli uluo.
That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world.
10 Ulisio mwe alyale mu iisi, naji iisi jooni jilyapelilue kukilila umwene, neke avaanhu navalyankagwile.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 Alisile kuvaanhu vaake, aveene navalyamwupiile. Neke avaanhu vooni vano valyamwupiile na kukumwitika, akavaviika kuuva vaana va Nguluve.
He came to his own, and his own received him not.
12 Neke avaanhu vooni vano valya valyamwupiile na kukumwitika, akavaviika kuuva vaana va Nguluve.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Nakwekuti vaana va Nguluve vwimila ifisina fyave, nambemulwa kuholua nu mughosi nu ndala, nambe muvughane vwa muunhu, looli UNguluve jujuo ghwe juno avavikile kuuva vanaake.
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Ulisio ujuo akava muunhu, akikala palikimo nusue, najusue tukuvuvona uvuvaha vwake, uvuvaha vuno vuhufia kuuti ghwe mwana jumo mwene ghwa Nguluve uNhaata. Umwene ali nu lusungu fiijo nu vwakyang'haani vwoni.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
15 UYohani akavoleka avaanhu imhola isa muunhu ujuo, akajova fiijo akati, “Uju ghwe juno najovagha kuuti, 'Juno ikwisa kumbele kulyune, m'baha kukila une, ulwakuva kwealyale une ye nikyale kuholua.”
John bore witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 Usue tweni muvukwilanifu vwake, twupiile ulusungu lwake, kange ifikutusungukilagha jaatu.
And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 Ulwakuva indaghilo saake alyatupeliile kukilila uMose, ulusungu nu vwakyang'haani atupeliile kukilila uYesu kilisite.
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 Nakwale umuunhu juno aghelile kukumwagha uNguluve, ali palikimo nu Nguluve uNhaata. Ujuo ghwe mwene atuhufisie uNguluve.
No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
19 Avalongosi va Vayahudi valyavasung'hile avatekesi na Valeevi kukumposia uYohani kuuti ghwe veeni.
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you?
20 Umwene akavoleka kisila kufisa, akati, “Une naneene Kiliste.”
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 Vakamposi kange vakati, “Lino uve veeni? Asi, veeve m'bili Eliya? UYohani akavamula akati, “Ndali, na neene Eliya.” Vakamposia kange vakati, Veeve m'bili?” Akavamula akati, “Ndali na neene.”
And they asked him, What then? Are you Elias? And he says, I am not. Are you that prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Vakamposi kange vakati, “Lino uve veeve veeve veeve? Ghukutambula veeve veeni? Tulonda tugomosie ulwamulo ku vano vatusung'hile?”
Then said they to him, Who are you? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What say you of yourself?
23 UYohani akavamula akati, Une neene lisio lya muunhu juno ikemeela ku'lukuve iiti, munnosekesyaghe uMutwa isila.” Ndavule alyajovile um'bili uYesaya.”
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
24 Pepano avaanu vala vano valyasung'hilue na Vafalisayo vakampos kange vakati,
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
25 “Nave naveeve Kilisite, nambe naveeve Eliya nambe na uli m'bili, ongo ghukwofugha?”
And they asked him, and said to him, Why baptize you then, if you be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
26 UYohani akavamula akati, “Une nikwofungha na malenga, neke nkate mulyumue pwale juno umue namunkagwile.
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there stands one among you, whom you know not;
27 Ujuo ghwe juno ikwisa kumbele kulyune. Une naninoghiile nambe kuhudula utukova utwa filatu tyake.
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s lace I am not worthy to unloose.
28 Isio silyavombiike mu kikaaja kya ikya Betania, imwambo ja Yolidani, ukuo kwe kuno uYohani alyale ikwifugha avaanhu.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Ikigho ikivingilili, uYohani akamwagha uYesu ikwisa kwa mwene. Pe akavavuula avaaanhu akati, “Lolagha, uju ghwe kakolo ghwa nguluvve, ghwe mwene ivusia uvuhosi vwa vaanhu vooni.
The next day John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.
30 Uju ghwe juno navagha kuuti, “Juno ikwisa kumbele kulyune, m'baha kukila une, ulwakuva kwe alyale une ye nikyale kuholua.'
This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
31 Najune nanikaakagwile kuuti ghwe kakolo, looli une nilisile kukwofungha avaanu na malenga, kuuti aVaisilaeli vankagule.”
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32 Kange uYohani akavavula akati, “Nimwaghile uMhepo uMwimike ikwika kuhuma kukyanya hwene ng'unda na kukwima pa mwene.
And John bore record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it stayed on him.
33 Une nanivele nikagwile, neke UNguluve juno asung'hile kukwofugha avaanhu na malenga ambulile kuuti, 'Umuunhu juno kyaukumwagha uMhepo ikwika na kukwima pa mwene ujuo ghwe juno ikwofughagha nu Mhepo uMwimike.”
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with the Holy Ghost.
34 UYohani akafijovagha akatisagha, “Une nisivwene isio na maaso ghango, kange nijova isa kyang'haani, kuuti uju ghwe mwana ghwa Nguluve.”
And I saw, and bore record that this is the Son of God.
35 Ikighono ikya vuvili,
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 kange, ikighono ikivingilili, uYohani uMwofughi akava imile palikimo na vavulanisivua vaake vavili, vakamwagha UYesu ikila, pe uYohani akati, “Lolagha, ukakologhwa Nguluve!”
And looking on Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 Avavulanisivua vavili vala, ye vampuliike uYohani ijova amasio aghuo, vaka m'bingilila uYesu.
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Pe uYesu akasyetuka, akavona vikum'bingilila, akavaposia akati, mulonda kiki? “Aveene vakamwamula vakati, “Rabi, (kwe kuti m'bulanisi) ghukukala kuughi?
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and says to them, What seek you? They said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwell you?
39 UYesu akati, “Mwise, mukupaagha.” Pe vakam'bingilila. Pakivwilile, akavalilo aka kijigho, vakafika pano ikalagha, vakava lumo ikighono kila.
He says to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelled, and stayed with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
40 Umo mu vavulanisivua vavili vala vano vakapuliike amasio gha Yohani na kukum'bingilila uYesu, alyale ghwe Ndeleya unnuuna ghwa Simoni Peteli.
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 Undeleya akamwagha unkulu ghwake uSimoni, akam'buula akati, “Tumwaghile uMesiya” (Mesiya kwe kuti Kiliste).
He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
42 Pe akantwala uSimoni kwa Yesu. UYesu akamulola uSimoni, akam'buula akati, Uve veeve Simoni mwana ghwa Yohani, lino ghutambulwaga Keefa,” (Kwe kuti' Peteli).
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, You are Simon the son of Jona: you shall be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
43 Ikighono ikivingilili, uYesu ye ilonda pivuuka kuluta ku kighavo ikya Galilaya, akamwagha uFilipo, akambuula akati “Umbingililaghe.”
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.
44 UFilipo alyale mhuma mu likaaja ilya Betisaida. Ghwope uNdeleya nu Peteli vakahumagha mulikaaja ilio.
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 UFilipo akamwagha uNatanaeli, akambuula akati, “Tumwaghile umuunhu juno imhola saake silyalembilue nu Moose mu kitabu ikya Ndaghilo, na mufitabu ifya vavili. Ujuo ghwe Yesu mwana ghwa Yosefu umhuma ku Nasaleti.
Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 UNatanaeli akamposia uFilipo akati, “Ikiinu ikinono ndepoonu kihuma ku Nasaleti? “UFilipo akamwamula akati, “Ghwise, ulole!”
And Nathanael says to him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.
47 UYesu ye amwaghile uNatanaeli ikwisa kwa mwene, akajova akati, “Lolagha, ujuo ghwe Muisilaeli ghwa kyang'haani, nsila vukedusi nkate mwa mwene.”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 UNatanaeli akamposia uYesu akati, “Ghwe Mutwa, ung'hagwile ndaani?” UYesu akamwamula na kukum'bula akati, “Nambe uFilipo ye akyale pikukukemeela, une niveele nikwaghile, ghukalile paasi pa mpiki untini.”
Nathanael says to him, From where know you me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.
49 Pe uNatanaeli akamwamula akati, “Ghwe Mbulanisi, lino nikagwile kuuti, uli mwana ghwa Nguluve! Uli Ntwa ghwa Isilaeli!”
Nathanael answered and says to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.
50 UYesu akamposia akati, “Ghukwitika ulwakuva nikuvuvulile kuuti niveele nikuvwene ye ghukalile pa mpiki untini? Lino ghukusivona isingi imbaha kukila isi.
Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, believe you? you shall see greater things than these.
51 UYesu akavavuula akati, kyang'haani nikuvavuula, mulikuvuvona uvulanga vudinduka na vanyamola va Nguluve vitogha na kukwika palyune ne Mwana ghwa Muunhu.”
And he says to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
