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.
He 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 one 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 shineth in darkness; and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 UNguluve alyansung'hile umuunhu jumonga juno akatambukagha Yohani.
A man was sent from God, whose name was John.
7 UYohani ujuo, alisile kukwoleka imhola isa lumuli uluo, kuuti avaanhu vooni vitike kukilila umwene.
He came for a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 UYohani ujuo naalyale ghwe lumuli uluo, looli alisile kukwoleka ulumuli.
He was not the Light, but sent that he should bear testimony concerning the Light.
9 Ulumuli uluo ulwa kyang'haani, luno lukava lukwisa muiisi, uluo lukavamulikila avaanhu vooni. Ulumuli uluo.
He was that true Light, which illumines every man by his coming 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 unto his peculiar people, and his peculiar people did not receive him.
12 Neke avaanhu vooni vano valya valyamwupiile na kukumwitika, akavaviika kuuva vaana va Nguluve.
But as many as did receive him, on them he bestowed authority to become children of God, even on those who 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.
who 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 became incarnate, and tabernacled with 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 concerning him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that is coming after me, is before me: because before me he was.
16 Usue tweni muvukwilanifu vwake, twupiile ulusungu lwake, kange ifikutusungukilagha jaatu.
And from his plenitude we all have received, even grace corresponding with his grace.
17 Ulwakuva indaghilo saake alyatupeliile kukilila uMose, ulusungu nu vwakyang'haani atupeliile kukilila uYesu kilisite.
For the law was given by Moses, but the grace and the reality came by Jesus Christ.
18 Nakwale umuunhu juno aghelile kukumwagha uNguluve, ali palikimo nu Nguluve uNhaata. Ujuo ghwe mwene atuhufisie uNguluve.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath thoroughly described him.
19 Avalongosi va Vayahudi valyavasung'hile avatekesi na Valeevi kukumposia uYohani kuuti ghwe veeni.
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they should question him, Who art thou?
20 Umwene akavoleka kisila kufisa, akati, “Une naneene Kiliste.”
And he confessed, and denied it not; but acknowledged, I am not the Messiah.
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? art thou Elias? and he said, I am not. Art thou 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 art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us: What description givest thou of thyself?
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 a voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way for the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
24 Pepano avaanu vala vano valyasung'hilue na Vafalisayo vakampos kange vakati,
And they who were sent, were of the Pharisees.
25 “Nave naveeve Kilisite, nambe naveeve Eliya nambe na uli m'bili, ongo ghukwofugha?”
And they questioned him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptise, if thou be not the Messiah, nor Elias, nor that prophet?
26 UYohani akavamula akati, “Une nikwofungha na malenga, neke nkate mulyumue pwale juno umue namunkagwile.
John answered them, saying, I baptise with water: but in the midst of you hath stood a person, whom ye have not known;
27 Ujuo ghwe juno ikwisa kumbele kulyune. Une naninoghiile nambe kuhudula utukova utwa filatu tyake.
it is he, though coming after me, who was before me, the thong of whole sandal I am not worthy to untie.
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 baptising.
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 seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh 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 spake, After me cometh a man who was before me: for before me he existed.
31 Najune nanikaakagwile kuuti ghwe kakolo, looli une nilisile kukwofungha avaanu na malenga, kuuti aVaisilaeli vankagule.”
And I knew him not: though that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore am I come baptising with water.
32 Kange uYohani akavavula akati, “Nimwaghile uMhepo uMwimike ikwika kuhuma kukyanya hwene ng'unda na kukwima pa mwene.
And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it rested upon 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 did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth 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 have seen it, and have borne testimony that this is the Son of God.
35 Ikighono ikya vuvili,
On the morrow John was again standing with 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 upon Jesus as he walked by, he saith, 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 about, and seeing them following, saith to them, What are ye seeking? They said unto him, Rabbi (which signifies, when translated, Master), where is thy abode?
39 UYesu akati, “Mwise, mukupaagha.” Pe vakam'bingilila. Pakivwilile, akavalilo aka kijigho, vakafika pano ikalagha, vakava lumo ikighono kila.
He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he abode, and continued with him that day: and 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, who had heard from John mention of Jesus, and had 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 saith to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being translated, 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. Then Jesus looking on him, said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas: thou shalt be called Cephas, which, interpreted in Greek, is Petros, a Rock.
43 Ikighono ikivingilili, uYesu ye ilonda pivuuka kuluta ku kighavo ikya Galilaya, akamwagha uFilipo, akambuula akati “Umbingililaghe.”
The next day Jesus resolved to go into Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith 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 findeth Nathaniel, and saith to him, We have found him whom Moses in the law has described, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.
46 UNatanaeli akamposia uFilipo akati, “Ikiinu ikinono ndepoonu kihuma ku Nasaleti? “UFilipo akamwamula akati, “Ghwise, ulole!”
And Nathaniel said to him, Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip saith 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 Nathaniel coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite in reality, in whom there 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.”
Nathaniel saith unto him, From whence canst thou know me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 Pe uNatanaeli akamwamula akati, “Ghwe Mbulanisi, lino nikagwile kuuti, uli mwana ghwa Nguluve! Uli Ntwa ghwa Isilaeli!”
Nathaniel answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art 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 unto him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt 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 saith to him, Verily, verily, I tell you, From henceforth ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
