Johan 1
1 Tangsuek naah Lok to oh, to Lok loe Sithaw hoi nawnto oh, Lok loe Sithaw ni.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Lok loe tangsuek na hoiah boeh ni Sithaw hoi nawnto oh.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 Anih mah hmuennawk boih to sak; anih ai ah sak ih hmuen tidoeh om ai.
All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
4 Anih thungah hinghaih oh; to hinghaih loe kami han aanghaih ah oh.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 Aanghaih loe kaving thungah aang; toe kaving mah anih to panoek ai.
And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
6 Sithaw khae hoi patoeh ih kami maeto oh; anih ih ahmin loe Johan.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Anih rang hoiah kaminawk boih mah tanghaih tawnh o thai hanah, anih loe hnukung maeto ah oh moe, aanghaih hnukung ah oh hanah angzoh.
The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Anih loe to Aanghaih to na ai ni, toe to Aanghaih hnukung ah oh han ih ni patoeh.
He was not the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light.
9 To Aanghaih loe long nuiah angzo kaminawk boih aanghaih paekkung, Aanghaih tangtang ah oh.
There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, coming into the world.
10 Anih loe long ah oh, long loe Anih mah ni sak, toe long mah Anih to panoek ai.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
11 Anih loe Angmah kaminawk khaeah angzoh, toe Angmah ih kaminawk mah Anih to talawk o ai.
He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.
12 Toe Anih talawk kaminawk hoi Anih ih ahmin tang kaminawk khaeah, Sithaw caa ah angcoeng thaihaih to a paek:
But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
13 to caanawk loe athii, taksa hoi kami koehhaih baktiah tapen ai, Sithaw koehhaih baktiah tapen kami ah ni oh o.
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Lok loe takpum ah angcoeng, aicae salakah oh moe, tahmenhaih hoi loktang hoiah koi (Ampa mah maeto khue tawnh ih lensawkhaih, ) a lensawkhaih to a hnuk o boeh.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
15 Johan mah, Ka hnukah angzo kami loe kai tapen ai naah oh boeh, kai pongah len kue, tiah ka thuih ih lok loe Anih thuih koehhaih ih ni, tiah anih kawng to thuih.
John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.
16 Anih akoephaih hoi tahmenhaih loe aicae boih mah hnuk o.
For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.
17 Kaalok loe Mosi khaeah paek, toe tahmenhaih hoi loktang loe Jesu Kri rang hoiah ni angzoh.
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Mi mah doeh Sithaw to hnu vai ai, toe Ampa ih saoek ah kaom, maeto khue tawnh ih, Capa mah Anih to amtuengsak boeh.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
19 Jerusalem ih Judahnawk mah, Nang loe mi aa? tiah dueng hanah qaimanawk hoi Levinawk to anih khaeah patoeh naah, Johan mah hae tiah thuih.
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?
20 Anih loe angphat ai ah kai loe Kri na ai ni, tiah thuih.
And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 Nihcae mah anih khaeah, to tih nahaeloe nang loe mi aa? Elijah maw? tiah dueng o. Anih mah, Kai loe Elijah na ai, tiah a naa. Nang loe Tahmaa maw? tiah dueng o. Anih mah, Kai loe tahmaa na ai ni, tiah a naa.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Kaicae patoeh kaminawk khaeah ka thuih pae o hanah nang loe mi aa, nangmah hoi nangmah to kawbangmaw na thuih? tiah a naa o.
They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 Anih mah, Tahmaa Isaiah mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Kai loe Angraeng ih loklam to patoengh oh, tiah praezaek ah kahang kami ni, tiah a naa.
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 Nihcae loe Farasinawk mah ptoeh ih kami ah oh o.
And they had been sent from the Pharisees.
25 Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Kri na ai, Elijah doeh na ai, Tahmaa doeh na ai to mah, tih han ih tuinuemhaih na paek loe? tiah dueng o.
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?
26 Johan mah nihcae khaeah, Kai loe tui hoiah ni tuinuemhaih to ka paek: toe nangcae salakah kaom na panoek o ai ih kami maeto angdoet;
John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,
27 Anih loe ka hnukah angzoh, toe kai pongah len kue, kai loe anih ih khokpanai qui khram pae han mataeng doeh kam cuk ai, tiah a naa.
[even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.

These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world!
30 Anih loe kai tapen ai naah oh boeh, ka hnukah angzo kami loe kai pongah len kue, tiah ka thuih ih kami loe, Anih hae ni.
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was before me.
31 Anih to ka panoek ai: Anih loe Israel kaminawk khaeah amtueng han koi kami ah oh pongah, tui hoiah tuinuemhaih to ka paek, tiah a naa.
And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing in water.
32 Johan mah, Pahuu baktiah van hoiah anghum tathuk, Anih nuiah kacuk, Muithla to ka hnuk, tiah thuih.
And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.

And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
34 Ka hnuk ih baktiah hae kami loe Sithaw Capa ni, tiah ka taphong boeh, tiah thuih.
And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.

Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;
36 loklam ah kacaeh Jesu to a hnuk naah, Khenah, Sithaw Tuucaa! tiah thuih.
and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
37 To lok to a hnukbang hnik mah thaih hoi naah, Jesu hnukah bang hoi ving.
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abidest thou?
39 Anih mah nihnik khaeah, Angzoh loe, khen hoih, tiah a naa. Nihnik loe caeh hoi moe, anih ohhaih ahmuen to khet hoi, to na ni loe Anih hoi nawnto oh hoi: to nathuem ah atue hato phak tom boeh.

One of the two that heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 Andru loe amya Simon to pakrong hamloe moe, anih khaeah, Messiah (Kri, tiah thuih koehhaih ih ni) to ka hnuk o boeh, tiah a naa.

He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).
43 Jesu loe khawnbangah Kalili ah caeh han amsak, Philip to a hnuk naah anih khaeah, Ka hnukah bangah, tiah a naa.
On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.
44 Philip loe Andru hoi Piter baktih toengah Bethsaida vangpui ih kami ah oh.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
