Johan 1
1 Akcük ma säiha Ngthu a na veki; Ngthu cun Mhnam am atänga veki, Ngthu cun Mhnama kyaki.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Ngthu cun akcük ma säih üngkhyüh Mhnam am a na veki.
He was in the beginning with God.
3 Ahmäi naküt ani üngkhyüh Pamhnam naw a mhnüna kyaki; mhnünmceng naküt üng ani am ngpüikia mhnün i pi am ve.
All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
4 Ngthu cun xünnaka phungnua kyaki; acuna xünnak naw khyangea vei akvai lawpüiki.
In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
5 Akvai cun anghmüpnaka vai law se, nghmüp naw am näng mkhüt.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
6 Pamhnam naw a ngsä mat a tüih law, a ngming cun Johana kyaki.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Ani naw khyangea veia akvaia mawng cun pyen se, khyange naw ngja u lü ami jumei law vai ua phäha kyaki.
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Amät cun akvai am ni, akvaia mawng pyen khaia lawki.
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 Ani cun akvai kcang, khawmdek khana law lü khyang naküta khana vaiki.
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
10 Ngthu cun khawmdek khana veki, khawmdek cun ani üngkhyüh mhnünmcenga kyaki. Acunsepi khawmdek naw ani am ksing.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
11 Amäta khyangea veia lawki. Acunsepi, amäta khyange naw am dokhamei u.
He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
12 Acunsepi, avang naw doei lü jumei u se, Pamhnama caea thawn theinak a jah pet.
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,
13 Acun he cun nghngicima mtisa thithaü üngkhyüh cawmbei lawkie am ni. Khyanga pasang üngka naw ngtüi lawkie pi am ni u, amimia pa ta Pamhnam ni.
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Ngthu cun nghngicima ngtüi lawki; bäkhäknak ja ngthungtak am be lü mi ksunga veki. Paa ca mat däka hlüngtainaka kba, a hlüngtainak cun mi hmuhki.
And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Johan naw ania mawng a pyen ta, ‘Ka pyen khawi cen ani ni, “Ani cun ka hnua law kyaw sepi ka maa a na ve pängki ni” a ti.
John testified about him and shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
16 Kümceikia ania bäkhäknak am dawkyanaka thea dawkyanak mi van naw mi yahki.
For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
17 Thum cun Mosia kut üngkhyüh Pamhnam naw a jah peta kyaki. Acunsepi, bäkhäknak ja ngthungtak ta Jesuh Khritaw üngkhyüh a jah peta kyaki.
For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus (the) Messiah.
18 U naw pi Pamhnam am hmuh khawi. Pamhnam am täng lü, Paa peia veki, a Capa mat däk naw paa mawng jah ksingsak pängki.
No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
19 Jerusalema veki Judah ngvaie naw, “Nang u ni?” ti lü, kthäh acun hea ktaiyü he ja Levihe Johana veia ami jah tüih.
And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
20 Johan naw käh mjih lü, “Kei Mesijah am ni ngü,” ti lü a jah msang.
And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Messiah."
21 Amimi naw, “Nang u ni? Nang Elijah aw?” ti lü ami kthäh. Johan naw, “Am ni ngü” a ti. “Nang Sahma aw?” ami ti. Johan naw, “Am ni ngü” ti lü, a jah msang.
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
22 Amimi naw, “Acunüng nang u ni, jah mtheha? jah tüih lawkie kami jah mthehnak be vai ami ti. Namäta mawng hin ihawkba na pyenki ni?” ti lü ami kthäh betü u.
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?"
23 Johan naw, “Sahma Hesajah naw a pyena mäiha, ‘Bawipaa lawnak vai lam ngsungsak u,’ ti lü khawmkyanga ngpyangki kthaia ka kyaki ni,” a ti.
He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
24 Pharisee naw ami jah tüiha khyange cun naw,
(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
25 “Mesijah am ni, Elijah am ni, sahmaa pi am na ni üng, ise Baptican na jah peki ni?” ti u lü ami kthäh betü u.
And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
26 Johan naw, “Kei naw tui am Baptican ka jah pe khawiki, nami ksunga khyang mat am nami ksing ngdüiki.
John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
27 Ani cun ka hnua law sepi, a khawdawk yüi suh pet khaia pi am nglawi ngü” ti lü, a jah msang.
He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
28 Ahin avan cun Johan naw baptican a jah petnaka hnün Jordan mliktui pei Bethaniha thawnhlawkia kyaki.
These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Angawi üng Johan naw Jesuh a veia law se hmuh lü, “Khawmdeka mkhyekatnak cehpüiki Pamhnama Toca teng u!
The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
30 Acan ni, ‘Keia kthaka dämduh bawki, ka hnua lawki kyaw, cunüngpi ka maa a na ve päng kungki ni,’ ka ti cen ani ni.
This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
31 Akcüka ani am ksing ngü, cunsepi, Isarele naw ani ami ksing law vaia, kei naw law lü tui am Baptican ka jah peki,” a ti.
I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
32 Johan naw a mawng pyen lü, “Ngmüimkhya cun müma mäiha khankhaw üngka naw kyum law lü a khana ngawki ka hmuh.
And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 “Akcüka ta ani ni ti am ksing ngü. Cunsepi, tui am Baptican ka jah pe khaia na tüih lawki Pamhnam naw, ‘Ngmüimkhya a khana kyum law lü a ngawhnaka khyang na hmuh üng, ani cun Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am Baptican jah pe khaia Khyang ni’ ti lü a na mtheh.
And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
34 Johan naw “Ani ka hmuh pängki, ani Pamhnama Capaa kyaki tia ka ning jah mthehki,” a ti.
And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
35 Angawi betü üng, Johan naw axüisaw xawi nghngih am ngdüi lü,
Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 Jesuh law se hmuh lü, “Acan ni Pamhnama Toca,” a ti.
and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
37 Axüisaw xawi naw a pyen ngja ni lü, Jesuh läki xawi.
And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
38 Jesuh naw ani veia nghlat lü läk law ni se a jah hmuh üng, “I nani suiki” ti lü, a jah kthäh. Anini naw, ‘Rabbi (Saja tinak), hawia na veki?” ani ti.
And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
39 Jesuh naw, “Law ni lü nani hmuh khai,” a ti. Cit ni lü a venak ani hmuh, acuna mhnüp cun a hlawnga veeiki xawi; acun cun mülama (Naji kphyü bang) kyaki.
He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
40 Johana ngthu pyen ngja ni lü, Jesuh läki nghngih üngka mat cun Sihmon Pita a na Andrua kyaki.
One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 Andru naw akcüka a be Sihmon hmuh lü, “Mesijah hmuh ve ung” ti lü, a mtheh (Mesijah ti cun Khritaw tinak ni).
He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Anointed One).
42 Acunüng, Sihmon cun Jesuha veia a lawpüi. Jesuh naw teng lü, “Nang hin Johana capa Sihmon na ngmingnaki, Kephaa ning sui khaie,” a ti (Acun cun Pita üng täng lü, “Lung” tinaka kyaki).
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated, Peter).
43 Angawi üng Jesuh Kalile khawa cit khaia a ngtün üng, Philip hmuh lü, “Na läk lawa” a ti. (
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
44 Philip cun Bethsaida mlüha kaa kyaki, acun cun Andru ja Pitaa ani venaka mlüha kyaki.)
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip naw Natanelah hmuh lü, “Mosi naw ania mawng Thum üng a yuk, sahma he naw pi a mawng ami yuk, Nazaret üngka, Josepa capa Jesuh, kami hmuhkie” ti lü a mtheh.
Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
46 Natanelah naw, “Nazaret mlüha cimvaiki ve khai aw?” a ti. Philip naw, “Law lü, teng lawa” a ti be.
And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
47 Jesuh naw, Natanelah a veia law se hmuh lü, “A mkhyenak lang am vekia Isarel khyang kcang, teng ua” ti lü, a pyen.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
48 Natanelah naw, “Nang naw ihawkba na na ksing ni?” a ti. Jesuh naw, “Philip naw am a ning khü ham lü, Fikdung phunga na ve üng ka ning hmuh päng ni” a ti be.
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."
49 Natanelah naw, “Rabbi, nang Pamhnama Capa ni, Isarelea Sangpuxanga pi kya veki,” a ti.
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
50 Jesuh naw, “Fikdung phunga na ve üng ka ning hmuh päng ni’ ka tia phäha na na kcangnaki aw? Ahina kthaka dämduh bawki na hmuh law khai,” a ti.
Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
51 Jesuh bä naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki. Tuha khankhaw nghmawng lü Pamhnama khankhawngsäe Khyanga Capaa khana ju kyum jeng kai u se nami jah hmuh law khai,” a ti.
And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
