John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
A kipatcil in Thu om hi, tua thu sia Pathian taw omkhawm a, tua Thu in Pathian a hihi.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Tua thu sia a kipatcil in Pathian taw omkhawm hi.
3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
Na theampo Ama vawt a hihi; a kivawt theampo sung ah Ama kihel ngawl in a kivawt khatzong a om bua hi.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Ama sung ah nuntakna om a; tua nuntakna sia mihing te i khuavak a hihi.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
Taciang khuavak sia khuazing sung ah tang a; khuazing in Ama a he bua hi.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Pathian kungpan hong ki sawl mi khat om a, ama min sia John a hihi.
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
John sia tetti tu in hongpai a, mi theampo in ama tungtawn in a up thei natu, khuavak tettipang tu in hongpai hi.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Ama sia tua Khuavak hi ngawl hi, ahihang tua Khuavak tettipang tu in a ki sawl a hihi.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Tasia sia Khuavak tatak hi a, mi theampo taan tu in hi leitung ah hongpai hi.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
Ama sia leitung ah om a, leitung sia Ama vawtsa a hihi, taciang leitung in Ama a he bua hi.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
Ama minam te kung ah hongpai napi, a minam te in Ama a sang bua hi.
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:
Ahihang a sang te theampo tung ah, Pathian tapa sua na vangletna pia hi, tua te sia Ama min a umte a hihi:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Ama te sia thisan, ci le sa deina, le mihing deina tungtawn in a piang a hi bua uh hi, ahihang Pathian deina tungtawn in a piang a hihi.
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.
Tua thu sia ci le sa in hong ki vawt a, taciang thuthiamna le thutak taw kidim in eite sung ah hong om a, Pa i Tapa a neisun minthanna bang in a minthanna i mu hi.
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.’”
John in Ama thu tettipang in a au na aw sia, ka nung pan hongpai pa sia kei sang in thupi zaw hi: banghangziam cile Ama sia kei pian ma in om zo hi: A thu ka sason sia Ama a hihi, ci hi.
16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
Ama kicinna pan in i vekpi in hesuakna khat zawkciang khat i sang tato hi.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
Banghangziam cile thukham sia Moses tungtawn in hong kipia hi, ahihang thuthiamna le thutak ahile Jesus Christ tungtawn in hongpai hi.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
Kuama in Pathian sia bangmahun in mu ngei ngawl hi; Pa kangsung ah a om khatbek a nei a Tapa in, Pa thu hong tangko zo hi.
19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
Hi thu sia, nang sia a kua ni ziam? ci dong tu in Judah te in thiampi te le Levite te Jerusalem pan a sawl uh ciang in, John i a cepte thu a hihi.
20 He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
John in nial peuma ngawl in, keima sia Christ hi ngawl khi hi; ci in pualak hi.
21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
Amate in, tua a hile a kua ni ziam? Elijah ni ziam? ci in dong uh hi. Taciang John in, hi ngawl khi hi, ci hi. Amate in, kamsang tasia ni ziam? ci in a dok leleau uh ciang in, hi ngawl khi hi, ci in zo hi.
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?”
Amate in, nang a kua ni ziam? tua hile hong sawl te kung ah son thei tu khu hi. Nangma le nangma kua ka hi ci ni ziam? ci uh hi.
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.”
John in, kamsang Isaiah sonkholsa bang in, Topa i lampi tangsak vun, ci in ngamsung pan a au Aw ka hihi, ci hi.
24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
Amate sia Pharisee te in sawl in a paisak te a hi uh hi.
25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
Amate in, Christ na hi bua a, Elijah le hi ngawl, kamsang le hi tuan ngawl napi, banghang in tuiphumna pia ni ziam? ci in dong uh hi.
26 John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
John in, keima in tui taw tuiphumna kong pia hi: ahihang na heak ngawl uh mi khat note sung ah ding nginge hi;
27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
Ama sia, ka nung pan hongpai a, kei sang in thupi zaw hi, kei sia a peangdap khau sutsak tu zong ka kilawm bua hi, ci hi.
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Hi thu te sia John in tuiphumna a piak na mun, Jordan ngun ngal Bethabara ah a sep thu a hihi.
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!
A zingciang in John in Jesus a kung ah hongpai mu a, en vun, leitung mawna a pua Pathian Tuuno.
30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
Hi sia pa sia, ka nung pan hongpai a, kei sang in thupi zaw hi: banghangziam cile kei pian ma in om zo hi, ci ka son sia Ama a hihi.
31 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
Ama ka he bua hi: ahihang Ama sia Israel te tung ah kilangsak tu hi, tua ahikom keima hongpai in tui taw tuiphumna pia khi hi.
32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
Taciang John in ceptena tettipang a, Thaa sia vantung pan vakhu bang in tuaksuk a, Ama tung ah a tu ka mu hi.
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.’
Ama ka he bua hi: ahihang tui taw tuiphumna pia tu in, hong sawl sia in, Ama tung ah Thaa hong tuaksuk tu a, tua na mu uh sia sia, Tha Thiangtho taw tuiphumna pia tu pa hi, ci in hong son hi.
34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
Ama ka mu zo a, hisia pa sia Pathian Tapa a hihi, ci in ceptena tettipang khi hi, ci hi.
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
A zingciang in John le a nungzui ni te hong dingkik uh a;
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
Jesus hongpai a mu ciang in, en vun Pathian Tuuno! ci hi.
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Taciang nungzui nite in tua thu a zak uh ciang, Jesus nung zui uh hi.
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?”
Tua zawkciang in Jesus in a nungsang le-et a, amate i zui a mu ciang, amate tung ah, Bang zong nu ziam? ci hi. Amate in, Rabbi awng koisung ah om ni ziam? ci uh hi. Rabbi a khiakna sia syapa awng, a cinopna a hihi.
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.
Jesus in amate tung ah, Hongpai tavun a hong en tavun, ci hi. Amate hongpai uh a, a omna mun mu uh hi, taciang tua ni sia Ama taw omkhawm uh hi: banghangziam cile a hun sia nitak sang nai li pawl a hihi.
40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
John i son thu a za mihing ni te sung ah khat sia Simon Peter suapui pa, Andrew a hihi.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
A masaphit in a u Simon taw ki si uh a, ko Messiah taw ki mu zo khu hi, ci son hi. Messiah a khiakna sia Christ a ci nopna hi.
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).
Ama in Jesus kung ah paipui hi. Jesus in ama a et ciang in, Nangma sia Jonah i tapa Simon na hihi: nang sia Cephas hong kici tu hi, ci hi, Cephas a khiakna sia suangpi a cinopna a hihi.
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
A zingciang in Jesus sia Galilee ah pai nuam hi, taciang Philip taw ki si a, ama kung ah, Hong zui tan, ci hi.
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip sia Bethsaida khua mi hi a, Andrew le Peter te i khua a hihi.
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.”
Philip sia Nathanael taw ki mu a, ama kung ah, Moses i thukham sung le kamsang te in a atkholsa, Joseph tapa Nazareth mi Jesus sia mu zo khu hi, ci hi.
46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Taciang Nathanael in, Nazareth khua pan na pha piang thei na ziam? ci hi. Philip in, hongpai tan a, en in, ci hi.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
Jesus in Nathanael hongpai a mu ciang in, En vun, Israel mi tatak a hihi, a sung ah theamna om ngawl hi! ci hi.
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.”
Nathanael in, bangbang in hong he thei ni ziam? ci hi. Jesus in, Philip in nang hong sap ma theikung nuai ah na to laitak in, kong mu zo hi, ci hi.
49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
Nathanael in, Rabbi, nangma sia Pathian Tapa na hihi; nangma sia Israel Kumpi na hihi, ci hi.
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!”
Jesus in, Theikung nuai ah na to laitak kong mu hi, ka ci hang in hong um ni ziam? Hi te sang in a lianzaw nate na mu lai tu hi, ci in zo kik hi.
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.”
Jesus in ama kung ah, Amantak in kong ci hi, a ngei ngawl in van a ki hong na mu tu a, mihing Tapa tung ah Pathian i vantungmi te a tuaksuk le a kato na mu tu hi, ci hi.
