Yuhana 1
1 Uworsu ucizine Ligbulang wadiku, Ligbulanghe wadi nin Kutelle, a Ligbulanghe Kutelleri.
In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.
2 Ulengene, Ligbulanhe, wadi nin Kutelle uworsu ucizine.
He was in the beginning with God.
3 Imon vat iwa kye unuzu mere, nin dirume na imon irum duku ilenge na ina kye sa ame ba.
All things were made by him, and without him not one thing was made that now exists.
4 Nanya mere ulai di, uleli ulaiye tutun unere nkanang nanit asuren vat.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 Nkanaghe na nuzu kanang nanya nsirti, a na nsirte na kata likara mining ba.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehends it not.
6 Umong unit wa duku na iwa tughe unuzu kiti Kutelle, na lissame wadi Yuhana.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Awa dak nafo unan lin musu niyizi nba nbellen nkananghe, bara vat nan yinna nnuzu me.
This man came as a witness, to testify of the Light, that all through him might believe.
8 Na Yuhanere wadi nkanaghe ba, awa dak anan belle ubelle kanaghere.
He was not the Light; but he came to testify of the Light.
9 Mininghere nkanang kidegen mongo na miwa cinu ucin dak nanya in yii mi durso ko uyeme unit.
He was the true Light, which, coming into the world, gives light to every man.
10 Awadi nanya inyee, unin uyee iwa kye unuzu mere, ana uyee wa yinin ninghe ba.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 Awadak kiti nanit me, na anit me wa sereghe ba.
He came to his own country, and his own people received him not.
12 Nani, ngbardang na lenge na iwa serughe, alenge na iwa yining nin lissa me, kitimine awa yining nani iso nono Kutelle.
But as many as received him, to them he gave the privilege of becoming the children of God, even to those who believe on his name;
13 Alenge na iwa macu nani, na kumat nmii ba, na nin su kidowo ba, a na nin su nnit ba, iwa macu nani nane nin su Kutelleri.
who were begotten, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Nene, Ligbulanghe wa so kidowo, liso nanya bite. Tina yene ngongon me, nafo ngongon lenge na ana nuzu kitin Ncif, awa kulun cek nin bollu Kutelle a kidegen me.
And the WORD became flesh, and tabernacled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and of truth.
15 Yuhana wa su uliru litime a ghatina liwui kang aworo, “Amere ulenge na nwa woro, 'Ulenge na adin cinu kidun nighe, kamin meng, ame cikilari nighari.
John testified of him, and cried, saying: This is he of whom I said: He that comes after me, is now before me, for he existed before me.
16 Bara unuzun kulnu me, vat tina seru ubolu kitine nbollu Kutelle.
And from his fullness have we all received, even grace for grace;
17 Bara iwa ni uduke kitin Musa, ubolu nin kidegen wa dak unuzu kitin Yesu Kristi.
for the law was given through Moses, but the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Na umon na yene Kutelle nkon kubi ba. Ame unit urumari cas, ame litime Kutelle, ulenge na adi figirin Ncife, amere nati iyininghe.
No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has revealed him.
19 Ushadan Yuhanari ulele, kube na a Yahudawa wa tuu nin na Priest nin na Leviyawa id tiringhe, “Fe ghari?”
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him: Who are you?
20 Ayinna na asu mayardang ba, akawa nani “na mere Kristi ba.”
And he confessed, and did not deny; and he confessed: I am not the Christ.
21 I tiringhe, “Anife ghari? Fe Iliya?” Aworo, “Na meng amere ba” Iworo, fe unan liru nin nuu Kutelle?” Akawa naworo “Nanere ba.”
And they asked him: What then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No.
22 Itunna iworoghe, “feghari, bara tinan belle alenge na i to nari? Uma woro nari fe ghari?
They then said to him: Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what say you of yourself?
23 Aworo, 'Mere liwui longo na lidi kuculu nanya ntene: kyelen ucin mine nanya cikilari dert,' Nafo ubellu Ishaya unan liru nin nu Kutelle.”
He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord; as said the prophet Isaiah.
24 Nene among duku na a Farisawa wa tu nani. I tiringhe, inin woroghe,
And those who were sent were of the Pharisees;
25 “Iyaghari ta udin shintizunu anit nmyen andi na fe Kristi, sa Iliya, sa unan liru nin nu Kutelle ba?”
and they asked him, and said to him: Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
26 Yuhana kawa nani aworo, “Meng din shintizunu nani nmyen. Vat nin nani, nanya mine umong yissin ku ulenge na anung yirughe ba.
John answered them, saying: I immerse in water; but there stands one among you whom you know not.
27 Amere ulenge na ama dak kidung nighe. Na meng batin nbunku ti na kpatak me ba.”
He it is, who, though he comes after me, is now before me; the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
28 Iwa su ilenge imone in Baitanya nleli uwulun urdun, kikanga na Yuhana wa din shintu nanite ku nmyen.
These things were done in Bethany, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
29 Ukurtunun nkwuiye Yuhana yene Yesu ku ucin dak kitime aworo, “Yeneng, Kukam Kutelle kongo na kuma yiru kulapin nyee!
The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world.
30 Amere ulenge na nna bellin minu, 'ulenge na adin cinu kidung nighe katin meng ku, bara awa yita ku ameng dutu.'
This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is now before me, for he existed before me.
31 Na meng yininghe ba, una so nani inan dursoghe kitin nonon Israila unnare meng na dak ndin shintu anit nmyen.”
And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I have come immersing in water.
32 Yuhane wa ti ushaida, “Nwa yene uruhu din tolsu unuzu kitene kani nafo kuwulung, uda lwa kiteneme.
And John testified, saying: I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.
33 Na nwa yiningghe ba, ame ulenge na ana tuyi nshintu anite nmyene na woroi, 'kitenen nlenge na uma yenu uruhu ntolo uso litime, amere ulenge na ama shintu anit nanyan Ruhu ulau.'
And I knew him not; but he that sent me to immerse in water, said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is he that immerses in the Holy Spirit.
34 Meng yene, nkuru nna ushaida ulengene Usaun Kutelleari.”
And I saw, and do testify that this is the Son of God.
35 Tutung, ukurtunun kwui, na Yuhana wa yisin ligowe nin nanan katwa me naba,
Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples.
36 iyene Yesu ku adin cin, Yuhana woro, Yenen, uleliye Kuzara Kutelleari!”
And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said: Behold the Lamb of God.
37 Anan katwa we naba wa lanza Yuhana ku din bellu nani, idofino Yesu ku.
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Yesu tunna a gitirno ayene idin dortughe a woro nani, “iyaghari idin nin suwe?” I kawaghe, “Rabbi (Unnare 'unan dursuzu niyerte), ussosin nweri?”
And Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them:
39 Aworo nani, “dan ida yene.” ida ida yene kite na assosin ku; iso ligowe nanghe lilone, bara kubi nikoro kulidi wa malu uti.
What do you seek? They said to him: Rabbi, (which, when translated, is called Teacher, ) where abidest thou?
40 Unwasamme nanya nan wabe na iwa lanza Yuhane din liru a tunna a dofino Yesu ku, Andirawusari wadi, gwanan Simon Bitrus.
He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.
41 A wa tu ase gwana me Simon aworoghe. “Tisse unan tuce” (Na ukpiliuwere 'Kristi').
One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
42 Ada nighe kitin Yesu, Yesu yenjenghe, aworo, “fe Simon, usaun Yuhana. Ima yiccu fi Kefas” (ukpiliuwe unnere 'Bitrus).
He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah; (which, when translated, is the Christ; )
43 Ukurtunun kuiye, Yesu wa di nin su ado Ugalili, ase Filibus ku a woroghe, “Dofini.”
and he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said: You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Rock).
44 Filibus wa nuzu Nbaitsada, kipin Andirawus nin Bitrus.
The day following, Jesus wished to go into Galilee; and he found Philip, and said to him: Follow me.
45 Filibus se Nataniyel ku aworoghe, “Ulenge na Musa nanya nduka nin nanan liru nin nu Kutelle na yertu ubellen me tiseghe, Yesu, Usaun Yusufu kunan Nazaret.”
Now, Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
46 Nataniyel woroghe, “Imonmong icine wasa inuzu Nnazareta?” Filibus woroghe, “da uda yene.”
Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
47 Yesu yene Nataniyel ku din cinu udak kitime a lirina litime, “Yeneng, kunan Israila kidegen, ulenge na adinin kinu ba!”
And Nathaniel said to him: Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see.
48 Nataniyel woroghe, fe ta inyizari uyinni?” Yesu kawaghe aworo, kube na inin sossino litino kuca napau a Filibus dutu sa uyicilu fi, Nni yenefi.”
Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said of him: Be hold, an Israelite in truth, in whom there is no guile.
49 Nataniyel kawa, “Rabbi, fe Usaun Kutelleari! Fere Ugo nan Israila!”
Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you.
50 Yesu kawaghe a woro, Bara na nworo fi. 'Nni yene fi litino kuca napau,' fe uni in yinna? Uma yenu imon nzikpu kibinai ididya na ikatin ilengene.”
Nathaniel answered and said to him: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
51 Yisa woro, “Ndin bellu minu kidegen, Ima yennu kitene kani npuno, nono kadura Kutelle din ghanju itoluso kitene Nsaun Nnit.”
Jesus answered and said to him: Do you believe, because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree? You shall see greater things than these. And he said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, From this time you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
