< John 1 >

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Fefeu na, Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan sia memaꞌ ena. Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan, naeni Atahori esa. Atahori naa naꞌabꞌue no Lamatualain. Eni o, Lamatualain boe.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Leleꞌ lalai no raefafoꞌ nda feꞌe dadꞌi sa, Atahori naa sia memaꞌ no Lamatualain ena.
3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
Lamatualain naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ basa-bꞌasaꞌ e, nendiꞌ Dedꞌea-oꞌolan. Nda hambu sudꞌiꞌ a saa esa dadꞌi sa boe, mete ma Atahori naa nda tao sa.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Eni, masodꞌaꞌ a okan. Dadꞌi atahori mana hambu masodꞌa matetuꞌ a, ara rasodꞌa mia E. Ana o onaꞌ Manggareloꞌ mana naronda, fo atahori mana rasodꞌa sia Manggareloꞌ naa, bisa rita ma rahine.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
Manggareloꞌ naa, naronda tora maꞌahatuꞌ a rala; de maꞌahatuꞌ a nda ai-baa nala Manggareloꞌ naa sa. Huu Manggareloꞌ naa naronda nakandooꞌ a.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Naa, hambu atahori laen esa, naran Yohanis. Lamatualain o denu e boe,
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
fo dadꞌi sakasii mana dui-bꞌengga Manggareloꞌ naa neu atahori. Naa fo basa atahori ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ, huu Yohanis oꞌolan.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Yohanis ia, nda Manggareloꞌ naa sa. Te Lamatualain denu e dui-bꞌengga soꞌal Manggareloꞌ naa neu atahori.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Huu Atahori mana dadꞌi Manggareloꞌ matetuꞌ a, nae nema sia raefafoꞌ ia. Manggareloꞌ naa mana tao dala-dalaꞌ ndoo-tetuꞌ ra nenenitaꞌ soaꞌ neu basa atahori.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
Mae Ana tao basa mana sia raefafoꞌ ia ra dadꞌi ena o, te atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia nda rahine E sa, leleꞌ Ana nema leo sia ia.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
Mae Ana nema leo no Eni atahori nara o, te ara nda nau simbo E sa.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:
Mae onaꞌ naa o, basa atahori mana simbo ma ramahere neu E, Ana fee se hak dadꞌi Lamtualain ana nara.
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Naa onaꞌ sira nenebonggi baliꞌ ena. Te sira nenebonggi feuꞌ naa, nda onaꞌ atahori bonggi ana dikiꞌ sa. Ma nda mia touꞌ esa mana hii-nau hambu tititi-nonosiꞌ sa. Te ara dadꞌi Lamatualain ana nara, huu Lamatualain mana fee se masodꞌa feuꞌ naa.
14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Boe ma, ‘Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌola’ naa, nenebonggiꞌ dadꞌi atahori. Ana leo sia taladꞌa tara. Hita mete-tita Eni manaselin. Eni manaseliꞌ onaꞌ naa, huu Eni, Lamatualain Ana isen. Ana hiiꞌ a natudꞌu rala malolen nema nggita, huu memaꞌ Eni ndolu-hadꞌan onaꞌ naa ena. Boe ma basa saa fo Ana nafadꞌe soꞌal Lamatualain, memaꞌ tetebꞌes.
15 John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
Naa, Yohanis naa, dui-bꞌengga soꞌal Atahori ia. Ana nameli nae, “Rena, e! Eni ia, au dui ena ae, ‘Dei fo Atahori esa nae nema. Eni manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ au. Huu nda feꞌe bonggi au sa te, Ana sia naꞌahuluꞌ ena!’”
16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
Yohanis olaꞌ naꞌo naa, huu Atahori naa hiiꞌ a natudꞌu rala malolen. Boe ma Ana tao nasafafali taꞌo naa nakandooꞌ a soaꞌ neu basa nggita.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
Lele uluꞌ a, baꞌi Musa naꞌondaꞌ Lamatualain Hohoro-lalanen soaꞌ neu bei-baꞌi tara. Te aleꞌ ia, Atahori naa, naeni Yesus Kristus, mana natudꞌu Lamatualain rala ralolen neu nggita. Boe ma basa saa fo Ana nafadꞌe soꞌal Lamatualain, memaꞌ tebꞌe.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
Nda hambu atahori esa sa boe mana nita tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Lamatualain. Te Eni Ana ise susuen, mana natudꞌu neu nggita Lamatualain ralan. Anaꞌ naa, sia Aman bobꞌoan. Huu Eni o, Lamatualain boe.
19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
Lao esa, atahori Yahudi ra malangga nara sia Yerusalem denu malangga agama hira ro atahori hira mia suku Lewi mana lole-lau sia Lamatualain Ume Hule-oꞌe Huun. Ara reu sia loe Yarden bobꞌoan de ratane Yohanis mana saraniꞌ a rae, “Ho ia, Kristus fo Lamatualain helu-fuli nae haitua nemaꞌ a, do?” De nafadꞌe se nae, eni ia, seka.
20 He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
Ana nataa relo-relo nae, “Hokoꞌ. Au ia, nda Kristus sa.”
21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
Boe ma ratane seluꞌ rae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, ho ia, seka? Baꞌi Elia, do?” Ana nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ boe.” Boe ma ratane fai rae, “Afiꞌ losa ho ia, Lamatualain mana ola-olan laen, do?” Ana nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ boe.”
22 They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
Basa naa ma, ara ratane seluꞌ rae, “Naa, mete ma taꞌo naa, ho ia, seka? Mufadꞌe dei! Huu hai musi baliꞌ mii mifadꞌe neu malangga-malangga mana denu hai ra. Tulun dei!”
23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
Boe ma ana olaꞌ tungga saa fo baꞌi Yesaya suraꞌ nita oi, “Au ia, naeni atahori mana nameli sia mamana rouꞌ oi, ‘Basa atahori mihehere tao milole dalaꞌ ra, fo simbo Lamatuaꞌ neneman! Tao mitetu dalaꞌ fo soru E.’”
24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
Sia atahori mana rema mia Yerusalem taladꞌa nara, hambu atahori hira mia partei agama Farisi.
25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
Basa ma ratane Yohanis rae, “Taꞌo ia. Mete ma ho nda Kristus sa, nda baꞌi Elia sa, ma nda Lamatualain mana ola-olan sa, na, taꞌo bee de sarani atahori? Hambu hak mia bee?”
26 John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
De Yohanis nataa nae, “Au ia, sarani atahori endiꞌ a oe. Te hambu Atahori esa sia taladꞌa mara ena, te nda mihine sa.
27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
Eni manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ au, mae au unori uꞌuhuluꞌ atahori. Mae dadꞌiꞌ a Eni aten boe o, au nda undandaa sa.”
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Basa dalaꞌ ia ra dadꞌi sia Betania, sia loe Yarden bobꞌoan. Yohanis no ana mana tungga nara sarani atahori sia naa.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Mbilaꞌ neu ma, Yohanis mete nita Yesus laoꞌ nisiꞌ e. Boe ma ana olaꞌ nae, “Mete neu Atahori mana sia naa dei! Eni, Lamatualain Bibꞌi Lombo Anan mana dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ fo tefa-soi atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia sala-kilu nara.
30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
Atahori ia, au ufadꞌe neu nggi afis a ena ae, ‘Dei fo Atahori esa nema. Eni manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ au, huu Ana sia naꞌahuluꞌ au ena.’
31 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
Fai maꞌahulun, au nda uhine ae, Eni, Kristus sa. Mae onaꞌ naa o, uhine ena ae au musi fee atahori Israꞌel ra rahine E. Huu naa, au uma fo sarani atahori endiꞌ oe.
32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
Lamatualain denu au sarani atahori endiꞌ oe. Ana o nafadꞌe au nae, ‘Dei fo Atahori esa nisiꞌ nggo. Basa naa ma, Dula-dale Ngga onda nema leo sia E. Atahori naa, mana nendi Dula-dale Meumare Ngga, fo fee koasa neu atahori Ngga ra.’ Leleꞌ Atahori naa nema, au nda uhine tuteꞌ E sa. Te leleꞌ au ita Lamatualain Dula-dalen onda nema mia lalai a onaꞌ mbui lunda, tee neu E, dei de au uhine E ae, ‘Atahori ia, Eni ena!’
33 I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’
34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
Au ita dalaꞌ naa ra no mata ngga. Basa de au ufadꞌe neu nggi ae, ‘Atahori mana nemaꞌ naa, naeni Lamatualain Anan!’”
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
Mbilaꞌ neu ma, Yohanis nambariiꞌ no ana mana tungga nara, atahori rua.
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
Leleꞌ Yohanis nita Yesus laoꞌ tungga naa, ana nafadꞌe nae, “Mete dei! Huu Eni ia, Lamatualain Bibꞌi Lombo Anan dei fo mana dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ!”
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Basa ma Yohanis ana mana tungga karua nara mana rena oꞌolan, lao hela e, de reu tungga Yesus.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
Boe ma Yesus heoꞌ dean, ma nita se laoꞌ tungga Eni. Boe ma natane se nae, “Taꞌo bee? Parlu, do?” Ara ratane mbali E rae, “Rabi leo sia bee?” (Sira dedꞌea Aram, ‘Rabi’ sosoan nae, ‘Ama Meser’.)
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
Yesus nataa nae, “Ima fo mita neuꞌ ena.” Boe ma ara tungga E, de rita mamana leleon. Leleꞌ ara losa, mbei ma liiꞌ haa boboon ena. De ara rahani ro E losa relo a mopo.
40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Naa, mia atahori karuaꞌ mana rena Yohanis oꞌolan, ma tungga Yesus naa, esa naran Anderias. Eni, Simon Petrus odin.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
Baliꞌ losa-losaꞌ ma Anderias neu sangga aꞌan Simon nae, “We, aꞌa! Hai mindaa mo Mesias ena!” (Sia sira dedꞌean ‘Mesias’ sosoan nae, ‘Kristus, naeni Atahori fo Lamatualain helu-fuli memaꞌ eniꞌ a lele uluꞌ a fo nae haitua nemaꞌ a.’)
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter).
Basa ma, ana no aꞌan nisiꞌ Yesus. Boe ma Yesus mete e, de nafadꞌe nae, “Ho ia, Simon. Amam, Yohanis. Mia faiꞌ ia, atahori roꞌe nggo, rae ‘Kefas’” (Eni sosoan onaꞌ ‘Petrus’, naeni ‘fatu’.)
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
Sia naa hambu atahori laen esa, naran Filipus. Eni kambon, Betsaida. Petrus no Anderias o mia naa rema boe. Naa, mbilaꞌ neu ma, Yesus naꞌetuꞌ nae neu sia profinsi Galilea. Boe ma neu nandaa no Filipus, de Ana noꞌe nae, “Uma, tungga Au fo dadꞌi atahori ngga!”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
Basa ma Filipus neu sangga Natanel, de nafadꞌe nae, “Aꞌa, e! Hai mindaa mo Atahori fo baꞌi Musa suraꞌ sia Lamatualain Hohoro-lalanen ena. Lamatualain mana ola-olan daluhuluꞌ ra suraꞌ soꞌal Atahori ia boe. Eni naran Yesus, mia kambo Nasaret, ma aman, naran Yusuf.”
46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Te Natanel nataa nae, “Atahori Nasaret!? Aweꞌ! Nda hambu dala maloleꞌ esa sa boe, laoꞌ mia naa nema sa, o!” Boe ma Filipus nae, “We! Afiꞌ taꞌo naa. Uma fo mita no matam!”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
Leleꞌ Natanel laoꞌ nema, Yesus nita e memaꞌ ena, de nae, “Eni ia, atahori ndoos! Huu sia ralan, nda hambu peko-lelekoꞌ sa. Eni atahori Israꞌel tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ!”
48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Natanel natane nae, “Taꞌo bee de Papa nahine au?” Yesus nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia. Au ita nggo ena leleꞌ mia hau naa huun. Leleꞌ naa, Filipus nda feꞌe neu noꞌe nggo sa.”
49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
Boe ma Natanel nataa nae, “Ama Meser ia, tantu Lamatualain Anan! Boe ma Amaꞌ o, tantu hai atahori Israꞌel ra Manem boe!”
50 Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”
Yesus natane e nae, “Seꞌu te ho ia, mumuhere neu Au, huu faꞌ ra Au ae, ‘Au ita nggo leleꞌ ho mia hau huuꞌ a raeꞌ,’ do? Musunedꞌa, te dei fo bisa mita dala-dala manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ naa fai!
51 He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
Tebꞌe! Au ufadꞌe memaꞌ. Dei fo ama mita lalai a sii. Boe ma Lamatualain ate nara mana sia sorga ra onda-hene sia Au bobꞌoa ngga. Ma Au ia, Atahori Matetuꞌ a.”
