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 was; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God.
2 Güiya gaegue gui tutujonña yan si Yuus.
He was in the Beginning with God;
3 Todo y güinaja sija manmafatinas pot güiya; yaguin ti pot güiya, taya ni esta mafatinas, nu y gaegue gui finatinas sija.
through him all things came into being, and nothing came into being apart from him.
4 Y linâlâ gaegue guiya güiya, ya y linâlâ, güiya y candet y taotao sija.
That which came into being in him was Life; and the Life was the Light of Man;
5 Ya y candet gui jalom jomjom maniina, ya y jemjom ti matungo.
and the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness never overpowered it.
6 Y un taotao ni manafato guine as Yuus, y naanña si Juan.
There appeared a man sent from God, whose name was 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 bear witness to the Light that through him all men might believe.
8 Güiya ti y candet, lao mamaela para ufannae testimonio nu y candet.
He was not the Light, but he came to bear witness to the Light.
9 Ayo y magajet na candet ni maniina y todo taotao, na mamamaela güine gui tano.
That was the True Light which enlightens every man coming into the world.
10 Güiya gaegue gui tano, ya y tano mafatinas pot güiya, ya y tano ti matungo güe.
He was in the world; and through him the world came into being — yet the world did not know him.
11 Güiya mato gui iyoña ya iyoña ti marisibe güe.
He came to his own — yet his own did not receive him.
12 Lao todo y rumesibe güe, güiya janae ninasiñanñija para ufamaguon Yuus; junggan, para todo ni y jumonggue y naanña.
But to all who did receive him he gave power to become Children of God — to those who believe in his Name.
13 Sija manmalilis ti guinin y jâgâ, ya ti guinin y minagof y catne, ya ti guinin minagof y taotao, lao guinin as Yuus.
For not to natural conception, nor to human instincts, nor to will of man did they owe the new Life, but to 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.
And the Word became Man, and dwelt among us, (We saw his glory — the glory of the Only Son sent from the Father), full of love 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 bears witness to him; he cried aloud — for it was he who spoke — “‘He who is Coming’ after me is now before me, for he was ever first”);
16 Gui binilaña manmañulijit todo, yan y grasia pot y grasia.
out of his fullness we have all received some gift, gift after gift of love;
17 Sa y tinago sija pot si Moises esta manae, lao y grasia yan y minagajet, pot si Jesucristo namanmato.
for the Law was given through Moses, love 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.
No man has ever yet seen God; God the Only Son, who is ever with the Father — He has revealed him.
19 Ya este y testimonien Juan, anae y Judio sija manafanmato nu y mamale yan Lebita sija, guine Jerusalem, ni manmafasen: Jago, jaye jao?
When the Jews sent some Priests and Levites to John from Jerusalem, to ask — “Who are you?”, his statement was this:
20 Güiya jaconfesatñaejon ya ti japune, lao jaconfesatñaejon, ilegña: Guajo ti Jesucristo yo.
He confessed and did not deny it, he confessed — “I am not the Christ.”
21 Ya mafaesen: Jafa nae? Jago si Elias? Ya ilegña: Ti guajo yo. Jago ayo na profeta? Ya manope: Aje.
“What then?” they asked. “Are you Elijah?” “No,” he said, “I am not.” “Are you ‘the Prophet’?” He answered, “No.”
22 Enaomina ilegñija nu güiya: Jaye jao? para siñajam infanmanope ni y tumago jam. Jafa ilelegmo nu jago namaesa?
“Who then are you?” they continued; “tell us, that we may have some answer to give to those who have 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,” he answered, “am — ‘The voice of one crying aloud in the Wilderness — “straighten the way of the Lord”’, as the Prophet Isaiah said.”
24 Ya ayo sija ni namanmato ni y guinin Fariseo sija.
These men had been sent from 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?
and their next question was: “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor yet ‘the Prophet’?”
26 Si Juan manope ilelegña: Guajo managpagpange an janom; mas y entalo miyo, guaja uno na ti intingo.
John’s answer was — “I baptize with water, but among you stands one whom you do not 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, yet I am not worthy even to unfasten his sandal.”
28 Este sija finatinas guiya Betania y otra banda gui Jordan, anae managpagpange si Juan.
All this took place at Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was then 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 coming towards him, and exclaimed: “Here is the Lamb of God, who is to take 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.
It was of him that I spoke when I said ‘After me there is coming a man who is now before me, for he was ever First.’
31 Ya guajo ti jutungo; lao para umafanue y Israel nu güiya, enao mina mato yo yan managpagpange yo an janom.
I myself did not know him, but, that he may be made known to Israel, I have come, baptizing with water.”
32 Si Juan manae testiomonio ilegña: Julie y Espiritu ni tumutunog guinin y langet, taegüije y paluma ya sumaga gui jiloña.
John also made this statement — “I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of the heavens, and it remained 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 myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him — he it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 Ya guajo julie ya manae yo testimonio nu y güiya y Lajin Yuus.
This I have seen myself, and I have declared my belief that he is the Son of God.”
35 Y siguiente na jaane tumalo manmatojgue si Juan yan dos gui disipuluña.
The next day, when John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 Ya Jaatan si Jesus ni mamomocat güije, ya ilegña: Estagüe y Corderon Yuus.
he looked at Jesus as he passed and exclaimed: “There is the Lamb of God!”
37 Ya majungog ni dos na disipuluña comequentosña yan madalalag si Jesus.
The two disciples heard him say this, 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?
But Jesus turned round, and saw them following. “What are you looking for?” he asked. “Rabbi,” they answered (or, as we should say, ‘Teacher’), “where are you staying?”
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 you shall see,” he replied. So they went, and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four in the afternoon.
40 Si Andres y chelun Simon Pedro, güiya uno gui dos y jumungog umadingan an Juan, yan madalalag güe.
One of the two, who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 Güiya jasoda finena y cheluña as Simon, ya ilegña nu güiya: Tasoda y Mesias (ni y cumequeilegña: güiya si Cristo).
He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: “We have found the Messiah!” (a word which means ‘Christ,’ or ‘Consecrated’.)
42 Ya macone guato as Jesus; anae inatan as Jesus ilegña: Jago Simon, patgon Jonas: jago mafanaan Sefas (cumequeilegña: acho).
Then he brought him to Jesus. Fixing his eyes on him, Jesus said: “You are Simon, the son of John; you shall be called Kephas” (which means ‘Peter,’ or ‘Rock’).
43 Y siguiente na jaane, malago si Jesus malag Galilea, ya jasoda si Felipe,
The following day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip, and said to him: “Follow me.”
44 taotao Betsaida, gui siudan Andres yan Pedro.
Philip was from Bethsaida, and a fellow-townsman of Andrew and Peter.
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.
He found Nathanael and said to him: “We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and of whom the Prophets also wrote — Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph’s son!”
46 Ya ilegña si Nataniel: Guinin Nasaret siña jumuyong minauleg? Ylegña si Felipe: maela ya unlie.
“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” asked Nathanael. “Come and see,” replied Philip.
47 Si Jesus jalie mamaela para iya güiya, si Nataniel, ya ilegña nu güiya: Estagüe senmagajet iyon Israel, na taya finababa guiya güiya.
When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said: “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!”
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 me?” asked Nathanael. “Even before Philip called you,” replied Jesus, “when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Manope si Nataniel ya ilegña: Rabi, jago uje y lajin Yuus, jago uje y ray guiya Israel.
“Rabbi,” Nathanael exclaimed, “you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!”
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.
“Do you believe in me,” asked Jesus, “because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You shall see greater things than those!
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.
In truth I tell you,” he added, “you shall all see Heaven open, and ‘the angels of God ascending and descending’ upon the Son of Man.”
