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 with God in the beginning.
3 Imon vat iwa kye unuzu mere, nin dirume na imon irum duku ilenge na ina kye sa ame ba.
Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.
4 Nanya mere ulai di, uleli ulaiye tutun unere nkanang nanit asuren vat.
In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
5 Nkanaghe na nuzu kanang nanya nsirti, a na nsirte na kata likara mining ba.
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 Umong unit wa duku na iwa tughe unuzu kiti Kutelle, na lissame wadi Yuhana.
There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.
7 Awa dak nafo unan lin musu niyizi nba nbellen nkananghe, bara vat nan yinna nnuzu me.
He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.
8 Na Yuhanere wadi nkanaghe ba, awa dak anan belle ubelle kanaghere.
He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
9 Mininghere nkanang kidegen mongo na miwa cinu ucin dak nanya in yii mi durso ko uyeme unit.
The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.
10 Awadi nanya inyee, unin uyee iwa kye unuzu mere, ana uyee wa yinin ninghe ba.
He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.
11 Awadak kiti nanit me, na anit me wa sereghe ba.
He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
12 Nani, ngbardang na lenge na iwa serughe, alenge na iwa yining nin lissa me, kitimine awa yining nani iso nono Kutelle.
But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—
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.
children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born 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.
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and 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 concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”
16 Bara unuzun kulnu me, vat tina seru ubolu kitine nbollu Kutelle.
From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.
17 Bara iwa ni uduke kitin Musa, ubolu nin kidegen wa dak unuzu kitin Yesu Kristi.
For the law was given through Moses; grace and 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 ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.
19 Ushadan Yuhanari ulele, kube na a Yahudawa wa tuu nin na Priest nin na Leviyawa id tiringhe, “Fe ghari?”
And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Ayinna na asu mayardang ba, akawa nani “na mere Kristi ba.”
He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “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.”
“Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
22 Itunna iworoghe, “feghari, bara tinan belle alenge na i to nari? Uma woro nari fe ghari?
So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about 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.”
John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
24 Nene among duku na a Farisawa wa tu nani. I tiringhe, inin woroghe,
Then the Pharisees who had been sent
25 “Iyaghari ta udin shintizunu anit nmyen andi na fe Kristi, sa Iliya, sa unan liru nin nu Kutelle ba?”
asked him, “Why then do you baptize, 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.
“I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
27 Amere ulenge na ama dak kidung nighe. Na meng batin nbunku ti na kpatak me ba.”
He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
28 Iwa su ilenge imone in Baitanya nleli uwulun urdun, kikanga na Yuhana wa din shintu nanite ku nmyen.
All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
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 toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who 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, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’
31 Na meng yininghe ba, una so nani inan dursoghe kitin nonon Israila unnare meng na dak ndin shintu anit nmyen.”
I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”
32 Yuhane wa ti ushaida, “Nwa yene uruhu din tolsu unuzu kitene kani nafo kuwulung, uda lwa kiteneme.
Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting 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.'
I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
34 Meng yene, nkuru nna ushaida ulengene Usaun Kutelleari.”
I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 Tutung, ukurtunun kwui, na Yuhana wa yisin ligowe nin nanan katwa me naba,
The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
36 iyene Yesu ku adin cin, Yuhana woro, Yenen, uleliye Kuzara Kutelleari!”
When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 Anan katwa we naba wa lanza Yuhana ku din bellu nani, idofino Yesu ku.
And when the two disciples heard him say this, 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?”
Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”
39 Aworo nani, “dan ida yene.” ida ida yene kite na assosin ku; iso ligowe nanghe lilone, bara kubi nikoro kulidi wa malu uti.
“Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
40 Unwasamme nanya nan wabe na iwa lanza Yuhane din liru a tunna a dofino Yesu ku, Andirawusari wadi, gwanan Simon Bitrus.
Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.
41 A wa tu ase gwana me Simon aworoghe. “Tisse unan tuce” (Na ukpiliuwere 'Kristi').
He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).
42 Ada nighe kitin Yesu, Yesu yenjenghe, aworo, “fe Simon, usaun Yuhana. Ima yiccu fi Kefas” (ukpiliuwe unnere 'Bitrus).
Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).
43 Ukurtunun kuiye, Yesu wa di nin su ado Ugalili, ase Filibus ku a woroghe, “Dofini.”
The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”
44 Filibus wa nuzu Nbaitsada, kipin Andirawus nin Bitrus.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
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.”
Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46 Nataniyel woroghe, “Imonmong icine wasa inuzu Nnazareta?” Filibus woroghe, “da uda yene.”
“Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
47 Yesu yene Nataniyel ku din cinu udak kitime a lirina litime, “Yeneng, kunan Israila kidegen, ulenge na adinin kinu ba!”
When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”
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.”
“How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
49 Nataniyel kawa, “Rabbi, fe Usaun Kutelleari! Fere Ugo nan Israila!”
“Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
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.”
Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.”
51 Yisa woro, “Ndin bellu minu kidegen, Ima yennu kitene kani npuno, nono kadura Kutelle din ghanju itoluso kitene Nsaun Nnit.”
Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
