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.
this One 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 happened through Him, and without Him not even one thing happened that has happened.
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 shined in the darkness, and the darkness did not perceive it.
6 Umong unit wa duku na iwa tughe unuzu kiti Kutelle, na lissame wadi Yuhana.
There came a man—having been sent from God—whose name [is] John,
7 Awa dak nafo unan lin musu niyizi nba nbellen nkananghe, bara vat nan yinna nnuzu me.
this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
8 Na Yuhanere wadi nkanaghe ba, awa dak anan belle ubelle kanaghere.
that one was not the Light, but—that he might testify about 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 enlightens every man, 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 the world was made through Him, and the world did not know 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 as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in 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 will of flesh, nor of 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 dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of [the] only begotten of [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 testifies concerning Him, and has cried, saying, “This was He of whom I said, He who is coming after me has come before me, for He was before me.”
16 Bara unuzun kulnu me, vat tina seru ubolu kitine nbollu Kutelle.
And we all received out of His fullness, and 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, 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 ever seen God; the only begotten God who is on the bosom of the Father—He has expounded [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 out of Jerusalem, that they might question him, “Who are you?”
20 Ayinna na asu mayardang ba, akawa nani “na mere Kristi ba.”
And he confessed and did not deny, and 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 questioned him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he says, “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?
Then they said to him, “Who are you, that we may give an answer to those sending us? What do you say concerning 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] a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the LORD, as Isaiah the prophet said.”
24 Nene among duku na a Farisawa wa tu nani. I tiringhe, inin woroghe,
And those 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 questioned 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 in the midst of you has stood He whom you have not known, it is this One who is coming after me, who has been before me,
27 Amere ulenge na ama dak kidung nighe. Na meng batin nbunku ti na kpatak me ba.”
of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the strap of His sandal.”
28 Iwa su ilenge imone in Baitanya nleli uwulun urdun, kikanga na Yuhana wa din shintu nanite ku nmyen.
These things came to pass in Bethabara, 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!
On the next day John sees Jesus coming to him and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who is taking 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 concerning whom I said, After me comes a Man who has come before 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.”
and I did not know Him, but that He might be revealed to Israel, because of this I came 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 have seen the Spirit coming down out of Heaven as a dove, and [that] One 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 did not know Him, but He who sent me to immerse in water, He said to me, On whomsoever you may see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on Him, this is He who is immersing in the Holy Spirit;
34 Meng yene, nkuru nna ushaida ulengene Usaun Kutelleari.”
and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.”
35 Tutung, ukurtunun kwui, na Yuhana wa yisin ligowe nin nanan katwa me naba,
On the next day, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,
36 iyene Yesu ku adin cin, Yuhana woro, Yenen, uleliye Kuzara Kutelleari!”
and having looked on Jesus walking, he says, “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 speaking, 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 having turned, and having beheld them following, says to them, “What do you seek?” And they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is, being interpreted, Teacher), “where do You remain?”
39 Aworo nani, “dan ida yene.” ida ida yene kite na assosin ku; iso ligowe nanghe lilone, bara kubi nikoro kulidi wa malu uti.
He says to them, “Come and see”; they came and saw where He remains, and they remained with Him that day and the hour was about the tenth.
40 Unwasamme nanya nan wabe na iwa lanza Yuhane din liru a tunna a dofino Yesu ku, Andirawusari wadi, gwanan Simon Bitrus.
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed Him;
41 A wa tu ase gwana me Simon aworoghe. “Tisse unan tuce” (Na ukpiliuwere 'Kristi').
this one first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is, being interpreted, Anointed One),
42 Ada nighe kitin Yesu, Yesu yenjenghe, aworo, “fe Simon, usaun Yuhana. Ima yiccu fi Kefas” (ukpiliuwe unnere 'Bitrus).
and he brought him to Jesus: and having looked on him, Jesus says, “You are Simon, the son of Jonas, you will be called Cephas,” (which is interpreted, A rock).
43 Ukurtunun kuiye, Yesu wa di nin su ado Ugalili, ase Filibus ku a woroghe, “Dofini.”
On the next day He willed to go forth to Galilee, and He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow Me.”
44 Filibus wa nuzu Nbaitsada, kipin Andirawus nin Bitrus.
And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of 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 finds Nathanael and says to him, “Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the Prophets, we have found, Jesus the Son of Joseph, who [is] from Nazareth!”
46 Nataniyel woroghe, “Imonmong icine wasa inuzu Nnazareta?” Filibus woroghe, “da uda yene.”
And Nathanael said to him, “Is any good thing able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 Yesu yene Nataniyel ku din cinu udak kitime a lirina litime, “Yeneng, kunan Israila kidegen, ulenge na adinin kinu ba!”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and He says concerning him, “Behold, truly an Israelite, in whom is no guile”;
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.”
Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip’s calling you, being under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Nataniyel kawa, “Rabbi, fe Usaun Kutelleari! Fere Ugo nan Israila!”
Nathanael answered and says to Him, “Rabbi, 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 answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, you believe; 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.”
and He says to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, from now on you will see Heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down on the Son of Man.”
