San Juan 1
1 Y tutujonña gaegue y Finijo, ya y Finijo güiya yan si Yuus; ya y Finijo güiya si Yuus.
In the beginning the Word already was. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Güiya gaegue gui tutujonña yan si Yuus.
In the beginning he was with God.
3 Todo y güinaja sija manmafatinas pot güiya; yaguin ti pot güiya, taya ni esta mafatinas, nu y gaegue gui finatinas sija.
Everything came into being through him; nothing came into being without him.
4 Y linâlâ gaegue guiya güiya, ya y linâlâ, güiya y candet y taotao sija.
In him was life, the life that was the light of everyone.
5 Ya y candet gui jalom jomjom maniina, ya y jemjom ti matungo.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not extinguished it.
6 Y un taotao ni manafato guine as Yuus, y naanña si Juan.
God sent a man named John.
7 Güiya mamaela para testimonio, para ufannae testimonio nu y candet, para ufanmanjonggue todo y taotao pot güiya.
He came as a witness to explain about the light so that everyone might believe through him.
8 Güiya ti y candet, lao mamaela para ufannae testimonio nu y candet.
He himself was not the light, but he came to witness to the light.
9 Ayo y magajet na candet ni maniina y todo taotao, na mamamaela güine gui tano.
The true light was coming into the world to give light to everyone.
10 Güiya gaegue gui tano, ya y tano mafatinas pot güiya, ya y tano ti matungo güe.
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world didn't know who he was.
11 Güiya mato gui iyoña ya iyoña ti marisibe güe.
He came to his own people, but they didn't accept him.
12 Lao todo y rumesibe güe, güiya janae ninasiñanñija para ufamaguon Yuus; junggan, para todo ni y jumonggue y naanña.
But to all those who accepted him and trusted in him, he gave the right to become God's children.
13 Sija manmalilis ti guinin y jâgâ, ya ti guinin y minagof y catne, ya ti guinin minagof y taotao, lao guinin as Yuus.
These are the children born not in the usual way, not as the result of human desire or a father's decision, but born of God.
14 Ya ayo na Finijo mamacatne ya sumaga guiya jita (ya talie y minalagña, ayo na minalag taegüije y linilisja gui tata), bula y grasia yan y minagajet.
The Word became human and lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son, full of grace and truth.
15 Si Juan manae testimonio nu güiya ya umagang ya ilegña: Güiya ayo y jusasangan: y mamaela gui tateco, güiya dangculoña qui guajo, sa güiya finenena qui guajo.
John gave his testimony about him, shouting out to the people, “This is the one I was telling you about when I said, ‘The one who is coming after me is more important than me, for before I ever existed he already was.’”
16 Gui binilaña manmañulijit todo, yan y grasia pot y grasia.
We have all been recipients of his generous nature, one gracious gift after another.
17 Sa y tinago sija pot si Moises esta manae, lao y grasia yan y minagajet, pot si Jesucristo namanmato.
The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Si Yuus, taya taotao lumie, taya na tiempo, ayo na Lajiña, y linilisja, na gaegue san jalom y pechon tata, güiya jafanue jit nu güiya.
While no one has ever seen God, God the one and only, who is close to the Father, has shown us what God is like.
19 Ya este y testimonien Juan, anae y Judio sija manafanmato nu y mamale yan Lebita sija, guine Jerusalem, ni manmafasen: Jago, jaye jao?
This is what John publicly stated when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Güiya jaconfesatñaejon ya ti japune, lao jaconfesatñaejon, ilegña: Guajo ti Jesucristo yo.
John declared plainly and clearly without hesitation, “I am not the Messiah.”
21 Ya mafaesen: Jafa nae? Jago si Elias? Ya ilegña: Ti guajo yo. Jago ayo na profeta? Ya manope: Aje.
“So then, who are you?” they asked. “Elijah?” “No, I'm not,” he answered. “Are you the Prophet?” “No,” he replied.
22 Enaomina ilegñija nu güiya: Jaye jao? para siñajam infanmanope ni y tumago jam. Jafa ilelegmo nu jago namaesa?
“Well, who are you, then?” they asked. “We have to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 Ylegña: Guajo inagang yo nu y umaagang gui desierto; natunas y chalan señot, taegüije ilegña si Esaias profeta.
“I am a voice calling in the desert, ‘Make the Lord's way straight!’” he said, using the words of the prophet Isaiah.
24 Ya ayo sija ni namanmato ni y guinin Fariseo sija.
The priests and Levites sent by the Pharisees
25 Ya mafafaesen güe ya ilegñija nu güiya: Sajafa na managpangejao, yaguin ti jago si Jesucristo, ni si Elias, ni y ayo na profeta?
asked him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you're not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?”
26 Si Juan manope ilelegña: Guajo managpagpange an janom; mas y entalo miyo, guaja uno na ti intingo.
John replied, “I baptize with water, but standing among you is someone you don't know.
27 Este uje y mamaela gui tateco, y mas dangculo qui guajo, ya guajo ti dignoyo na jupula ni y coreas y sapatosña.
He is coming after me, but I am not even worthy to untie his sandals.”
28 Este sija finatinas guiya Betania y otra banda gui Jordan, anae managpagpange si Juan.
This all happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Y siguiente na jaane jalie si Juan si Jesus na mamaela para iya güiya ya ilegña: Estagüe y corderon Yuus na janajanao y isao gui tano.
The next day John saw Jesus approaching him, and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 Este yuje ileo, na y tateco mamamaela un laje y dangculoña qui guajo, sa güiya finenena qui guajo.
This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘A man who is coming after me is more important than me, for before I ever existed he already was.’
31 Ya guajo ti jutungo; lao para umafanue y Israel nu güiya, enao mina mato yo yan managpagpange yo an janom.
I didn't know myself who he was, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel.”
32 Si Juan manae testiomonio ilegña: Julie y Espiritu ni tumutunog guinin y langet, taegüije y paluma ya sumaga gui jiloña.
John gave his evidence about him, saying, “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove and rest upon him.
33 Ya guajo ti jutungo güe, lao y munamamaela yo para ufanagpange an janom, ayo sumangane yo: Sobre ayo na unlie na tumunog y Espiritu ya sumaga guiya güiya, este uje y managpagpange ni Espiritu Santo.
I wouldn't have known him except he who sent me to baptize with water had told me, ‘The one you see the Spirit descend to and rest upon, he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 Ya guajo julie ya manae yo testimonio nu y güiya y Lajin Yuus.
I saw it happen and I declare that this is the Son of God.”
35 Y siguiente na jaane tumalo manmatojgue si Juan yan dos gui disipuluña.
The next day John was standing there with two of his disciples.
36 Ya Jaatan si Jesus ni mamomocat güije, ya ilegña: Estagüe y Corderon Yuus.
He saw Jesus passing by, and said, “Look! This is the Lamb of God!”
37 Ya majungog ni dos na disipuluña comequentosña yan madalalag si Jesus.
When the two disciples heard what he said they went and followed Jesus.
38 Ya jabira güe si Jesus ya jalie na madadalalag güe nu sija ya ilegña nu sija: Jafa inaliligao? Ya sija ilegñija: Rabi (este finijo comequeilegña, gui chamorro, Maestro) manu sagamo?
Jesus turned round and saw them following him. “What are you looking for?” he asked them. “Rabbi (which means ‘Teacher’), where are you staying?” they asked in reply.
39 Ylegña: mamaela ya unlie. Manmamaela ya jalie manu nae sumaga ya mañagaja yan güiya, güije na jaane, sa jijut y ora y mina dies.
“Come and see,” he told them. So they went with him and saw where he was staying. It was about four p.m., and they spent the rest of the day with him.
40 Si Andres y chelun Simon Pedro, güiya uno gui dos y jumungog umadingan an Juan, yan madalalag güe.
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of these two disciples who had heard what John said and followed Jesus.
41 Güiya jasoda finena y cheluña as Simon, ya ilegña nu güiya: Tasoda y Mesias (ni y cumequeilegña: güiya si Cristo).
He went at once to find his brother Simon and told him, “We've found the Messiah!” (which means “Christ”).
42 Ya macone guato as Jesus; anae inatan as Jesus ilegña: Jago Simon, patgon Jonas: jago mafanaan Sefas (cumequeilegña: acho).
He took him to Jesus. Looking directly at Simon, Jesus said, “You are Simon, son of John. But now you will be called Cephas,” (which means “Peter”).
43 Y siguiente na jaane, malago si Jesus malag Galilea, ya jasoda si Felipe,
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. Jesus found Philip there, and told him, “Follow me.”
44 taotao Betsaida, gui siudan Andres yan Pedro.
Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town that Andrew and Peter came from.
45 Si Felipe jasoda si Nataniel ya ilegña nu güiya: Esta tasoda ayo y jatugue si Moises gui tinago yan y profeta, Jesus, taotao Nasaret y patgon José.
Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We've found the one that Moses wrote about in the law and that the prophets did too—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46 Ya ilegña si Nataniel: Guinin Nasaret siña jumuyong minauleg? Ylegña si Felipe: maela ya unlie.
“From Nazareth? Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael wondered. “Just come and see,” Philip replied.
47 Si Jesus jalie mamaela para iya güiya, si Nataniel, ya ilegña nu güiya: Estagüe senmagajet iyon Israel, na taya finababa guiya güiya.
As Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said about him, “Look, here's a true Israelite! There's nothing false about him.”
48 Ylegña nu güiya si Nataniel: Guine manu na untungo yo? Manope si Jesus ya ilegña nu güiya: Antes di si Felipe uninagang, na gaegue jao gui papa y ygos, guajo julie jao.
“How do you know who I am?” Nathanael asked. “I saw you there under the fig tree, before Philip called you,” Jesus replied.
49 Manope si Nataniel ya ilegña: Rabi, jago uje y lajin Yuus, jago uje y ray guiya Israel.
“Rabbi, you are the Son of God, the king of Israel!” Nathaniel exclaimed.
50 Manope si Jesus ya ilegña nu güiya: Sa jusangane jao, na julie jao gui papa y ygos, ya unjonggue? Jago unlie mandangculoña na güinaja qui este.
“You believe this just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree?” Jesus replied. “You'll get to see much more than that!”
51 Ylegña nu güiya: Magajet ya magajet jusangane jao, y mamaela na tiempo nae unlie y langet mababa ya y angjet sija guine as Yuus mangajujulo yan manututunog gui jilo y Lajin taotao.
Then Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open, and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of man.”
