John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Kundandubhoko, ashinkupagwa Lilobhe, Lilobhejo paaliji pamo na a Nnungu, shibhaliji a Nnungu na jwalakwe Lilobhe paaliji nneyo peyo.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Lilobheju paaliji pamo na a Nnungu kuuumila kundandubho.
3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
Indu yowe puipengenywe kupitila Jwenejo, shakwa shindu shipengenywe gwangali jwenejo.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Jwenejo shiumilo sha gumi na pugwaliji shilangaya kubhandu.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
Shilangayasho shinalangaya pa lubhindu, wala lubhindu lwangakombola kuima shilangaya.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Gwakoposhele mundu jumo atumilwe na a Nnungu, lina lyakwe a Yowana,
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
jwenejo ashinkuika kukong'ondela ga shilangayasho. Nkupinga kwa ntenga gwakwe bhandu bhowe bhakulupalilanje.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
A Yowana bhayene nngabha shene shilangayasho, ikabhe bhashinkuika kukong'ondela ga jwene aliji shilangayasho.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Jweneju ni shilangaya shiyene akwiya pa shilambolyo, kukwamulishilanga bhandu bhowe.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
Shilangayajo paaliji pashilambolyo, kupitila jwenejo shilambolyo gushipengenywe, ikabheje bhandu bha pa shilambolyo bhangammanyanga.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
Aishe kubhandu bhakwe, ikabheje bhandu bhakwe bhangamposhelanga.
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:
Ikabheje bhowe bhamposhelenje nikunkulupalila, gwabhatendilenje kubha bhana bha a Nnungu,
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
bhabhelekwenje nngabha kwa komboywa na mundu, wala mashili ga shiilu wala kwaapinga mundu, ikabhe kwaapinga a Nnungu.
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.
Lilobhe gwatendeshe kubha mundu nigwatemi kunngwetu. Na uwe gutuubhweni ukonjelo gwakwe, ukonjelo guka Mwana jwa jika akoposhela kwa Atati, agumbele nema na kweli.
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.’”
A Yowana bhabhatisha bhayene gubhaabhalanjilenje bhandu kwa lilobhe lya utiya bhalinkuti, “Jweneju junantayaga kuti, ‘Akwiya nnyuma jangu jwankulungwa kumbunda nne, pabha aapali nne nganabhe pagwa.’”
16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
Kwa ligongo lya punda nema jabho, uwe tubhowe tupatile mboka ja punda.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
Pabha Shalia pujiishe kupitila a Musha, nema na kweli puiishe kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
Jwakwa mundu jojowe abhabhweni a Nnungu, ikabhe Mwana jwa jikape jwa a Nnungu, ali pamo na Atati, jwenejo atulangwiye shibhali a Nnungu.
19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
Gweguno ni ukong'ondelo gwa a Yowana ku bhakulungwanji bha Bhayaudi bha ku Yelushalemu, pubhaatumilenje bhakulungwanji bha bhishila na Bhalawi, bhakaabhuyanje a Yowana, “Mmwe agani?”
20 He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
A Yowana bhangakana kwaajangulanga, gubhaabhalanjilenje gwangali nng'iyo, “Nne nngabha a Kilishitu.”
21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
Penepo gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhai, Mmwe agani? Bhuli, mmwe a Eliya?” A Yowana gubhajangwile, “Nng'oope, nne nngabha bhene.” Gubhabhushiyenje, “Mmwe ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhala?” A Yowana gubhaajangwilenje, “Nng'oope.”
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?”
Bhalabhonji gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhai, mmwe agani? Nkwitaya bhuli mmayene? Ntubhalanjile, nkupinga tukaabhalanjilanje bhatutumilenje kukummuya bhala.”
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.”
A Yowana gubhaajangwilenje, malinga ankulondola bha a Nnungu a Ishaya shibhalugwile. “Nne ni lilobhe lika mundu lipilikanika kuanga. Mwaalashiyanje Bhakulungwa mpanda gwabho, ‘Nngoloyanje mushibhapite.’”
24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
Bhene bhandunji bhatumilwenje na Mapalishayo bhala,
25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
gubhaabhushiyenje a Yowana, “Monaga mmwe nngabha a Kilishitu na nngabha a Eliya na wala nngabha ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhala, pakuti nnabhatisha?”
26 John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
A Yowana gubhaajangwilenje, “Nne ngunabhatisha kwa mashi, ikabheje bhapali bhamo munkumbi gwenunji bhunkanabhe kwaamanyanga.
27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
Bhene bhunalugwile bhanakwiya nnyuma jangu, nne nangatopela kubha ntumishi jwabho nkali jwa gopola mbundo ya ilatu yabho.”
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Genego kugatendeshe ku Bhetania, kung'ambo lushi lwa Yolodani kubhabhatishaga a Yowana.
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!
Malabhi gakwe, a Yowana gubhaabhweni a Yeshu bhalinkwajiila, gubhashite, “Nnole, bhenebha Mwana Ngondolo jwa a Nnungu, bhaajigala yambi ya bhandu bha pashilambolyo!
30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
Bhenebha bhunakungulushilaga nilinkuti, ‘Nnyuma jangu bhanakwiya bhandu bhamo bhali bhakulungwa kumbunda nne, pabha bhaapali nne nganabhe pagwa!’
31 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
Nne namwene ngaamanyiji, ikabheje njikwiya bhatisha kwa mashi nkupinga bhandu bha Ishilaeli bhaamanyanje.”
32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
A Yowana gubhakong'ondele bhalinkuti, “Nashinkumona Mbumu jwa a Nnungu alituluka mbuti nnjubha, kukoposhela kunnungu nikwaatula.
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.’
Nne nganaamanye, ikabheje bhene bhandumile kubhatisha kwa mashi bhala bhanugulile, ‘Mundu jushimummone alikuntula Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, jwenejo shaabhatishe kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.’
34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
Nne nigabhweni na ngunakong'ondela kuti bhenebha Bhanabhabho a Nnugu.”
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
Malabhi gakwe, a Yowana pubhaaliji na bhaajiganywa bhabho bhabhili.
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
Bhakaabhoneje a Yeshu bhalipita, gubhashite, “Nnolanje! Mwana Ngondolo jwa a Nnungu.”
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Bhaajiganywa bhabhili bha a Yowana bhala, bhakapilikananjeje gene malobhego, gubhaakagwilenje a Yeshu.
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?”
Bhai, a Yeshu gubhatendebhwishe gubhaabhweninji bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana bhalikwakagulanga, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Nkuloleyanga nndi?” Bhalabhonji gubhaajangwilenje, “Alabhi, kunkutama kwei?” A Labhi, malombolelo gakwe Bhaajiganya.
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.
A Yeshu gubhabhaalanjilenje, “Nnjiyangananje shimpabhonanje.” Bhaajiganywa bhala gubhaakagwilenje gubhapabhweninji pubhatamaga, puyaliji shaa kumi ja ligulo na gubhatemi nabhonji lyene lyubhalyo.
40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Jumo jwa bhene bhaajiganywa bhabhili bhaapilikenenje a Yowana bhalibheleketa nikwakagula a Yeshu, pubhashemwaga a Ndeleya, apwabho a Shimoni Petili.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
A Ndeleya gubhatandwibhe kwaaloleya akulu bhabho a Shimoni, gubhaalugulile, “Twaabhweni a Mashiya” malombolelo gakwe a Kilishitu Bhaatapula.
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).
Kungai gubhaapeleshe kwa a Yeshu. Na bhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalolile nigubhashite, “Mmwe a Shimoni bhana bhabho a Yowana. Nnaino shinshemwe a Kepa.” Malombolelo gakwe Petili, yani, “Liganga.”
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
Malabhi gakwe a Yeshu gubhapinjile kwenda ku Galilaya. Bhai, gubhaabhweni a Pilipi gubhaabhalanjile, “Nngagule.”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
A Pilipi pubhaliji bhandu bha ku Bhetishaida shilambo shibhatamaga a Ndeleya na a Petili.
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.”
A Pilipi bhakaabhoneje a Natanaeli nigubhaabhalanjile, “Twaabhweni bhene bhajandikwe muitabhu ya shalia ya a Musha na ya ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, a Yeshu bhana bhabho a Yoshepu bha ku Nashaleti.”
46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
A Natanaeli gubhaabhushiye a Pilipi, “Bhuli, inakomboleka shindu shoshowe sha mmbone kukopoka ku Nashaleti?” A Pilipi gubhaabhalanjile, “Nnjiye kunnole.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
A Yeshu bhakaabhoneje a Natanaeli bhalikwajiila, gubhashite, “Nnolanje, bhenebha Bhaishilaeli bha kweli, bhangali ya nyata muntima gwabho.”
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.”
A Natanaeli gubhaabhushiye, “Mmwe pummanyi nne shanabhuli?” A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Nammweni nni paina nkongo pala, nkali nkanabhe shemwa na a Pilipi.”
49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
Penepo a Natanaeli gubhaalugulile, “Mmajiganya, mmwe Bhanabhabho a Nnungu. Mmwe a Mpalume bha Ishilaeli!”
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!”
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Bhuli, nnakulupalila pabha njikummalanjila kuti namweni nni paina nkongo pala? Shinngabhone gamakulungwa kupunda genega.”
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.”
A Yeshu gubhapundile kubheleketa, “Kweli kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, shinkubhonanje kunnungu kuliuguka na ashimalaika bha a Nnungu bhalikwelanga na tuluka kwangu nne Mwana juka Mundu.”
