John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Hula ahwande hwa hali izu lyali pamo no Ngolobhe, izu ali yo Ngolobhe.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Eli, Ezu, Nalya handaga lyali pamo no Ngolobhe.
3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
Evintu vyonti vyabhombeshe ashilile omwene, asibhe omweje na hamo ata hantu hamo hahabhombeshe.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Muhati yakwe mwali no womi, na wope owomi wali lukhozyo lwa bhantu bhonti.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Olukhozyo lwakholaga munkisi, enkisi yapotilwe aluzimye.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Pahali omuntu watumwilwe afume hwa Ngolobhe, ola itawa lyakwe ali yo Yohana.
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Ahanzele nanshi keeti ahakikisye ahusu olukhozyo, aje bhonti nkabhapate ahweteshele ashilile hwamwene.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
O Yohana sagali lukhozyo, ila ahenzele nkahakikisye ahusu lula olukozyo.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Esho alilukhozyo lwelyoli lula lwalwahenzaga munsi lyope lwapanga shila muntu.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him.
munsi, na ensi yabhombwelwe ashilile omwahale, na ensi seyamenye.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
Ahaenzele hwabhantu bhakwe, na awantu wakwe na abhantu wakwe sebhaposheye.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:
Ila hwabhala abhinji bhabhaposheye, bhabhahetesheye itawa lyakwe, nebho abhapiye elyoli eyaje bhana bha Ngolobhe,
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Bhabhapepwe, se hwidanda, wala hulusongwo lwe bele, sio olusongwo lwa muntu, ila lwa Ngolobhe yoyo.
14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Lyope izu lyabhoshe lwebele na lyakhala muhati yeetu, tiulolile oumwamu wakwe, oumwamu nashi wa muntu mwene wahenzele afume hwa Daada, amemile uwene ne lyoli.
15 John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
O Yohana ahakikizye ahusu omwene, na afumizye izu ayanje, “Ono yayola wanayanjile enongwa zyakwe najile, “Ola wayenza pamande yane yo gosi ashile ane, afuatanaje ahali kabla yaline.”
16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
Afuatanaje ashilile oluu golosu lwake, ate tenti tiposheye wene eshipawa baadaye shipawa.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
Afuatanaje endajizo zyaliletilwe ashilile oMusa. Ewene ne lyoli vyahenzele ashilile oYesu Kilisti.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
Nomo omuntu walolile Ongolobhe omuda gwagwonti. Omuntu mwene ambayo yo Ngolobhe, walipashifubha sha Daada, abhombile aje omwene amanyishe.
19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
Na olu luhakikisyo lwa Yohana lula adimi na lawi bhabhatumwilwe hwa mwene na Yahudi ahubhozye, “Aje awe wenanu?”
20 He declared, and did not deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
Bila asyoshe syoshe saga akhene, aje “Anesene Kilisiti.”
21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
Esho bhabhaozyezye, “eshi awe we nanu esalezi?” We Eliya? Ajile, “Ane see yayoyo.” Wajile we kuwaa? Ajile,” Hagha.”
22 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?”
Antele bhabhozya, “Wee nanu, aje nkati bhapele ijibu bhabhatitumile”? Uhwihakikisya bhole wewe humwene?”
23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
Waga, “Ane ne lizu lyakwe walila mwipoli: 'Golosyaji idala lya Ngolobhe,' na okuwa oIsaya shayanjile.”
24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
Eshi bhahali abhantu bhatumwile na Mafalisayo. Bhabhozyezya aje,
25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
“Yenu ohwozya eshi nkashewe Kilisiti wala see we Eliya okuwaa?”
26 John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
O Yohana abhabhozyezye ajile, “Embozya hu menze. Ata sheshi mhati yenyu ahwemelela omuntu wa semumenye amwe.
27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loosen.”
Onu ndiyo wanzahwenze pamande yaline. Ane sihwanziwa alegezye ekamba zye vilato.”
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Enongwa ezi zyabhombeshe ohwo hu Bethania, hwisyela lye Yordani, esehemu ambayo oYohana alihwozya.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Isiku lyalyafwatile oYohana alolile uYesu ahwenza hwa mwene ajile, “Enya mwanangole wa Ngolobhe wahwega embibhi zya munsi!
30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
ono yayola wana yanjile enongwa zyakwe najile, “Omwene wayenza hwi akhosi yane yo gosi ashile ane, afwatanaje ali hwitazi lyaline.'
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
Senamenye omwene, ila shabhombeshe esho aje nkobheneshe mu Israeli, aje nahenzele nabhozyaga na menze.”
32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
O Yohana ahakikisizye, “Aje nalolile Ompepo ahwiha afume amwanya ofwana ngwe njebha, yasageye pamwanya yakwe.
33 I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’
Ane senamenye ila omwene wantumile aje enozyaje na menze ambozyezye, 'ola wobhalole empempo ehwiha na khale pamwanya yakwe, Oyo waibhozya hwo Mpepo Ofinjile.'
34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
Endolile na ehakikisizye aje ono Mwana wa Ngolobhe.”
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
Nantele isiku lyalyafuatile oYohana ali ayemeleye pandwemo na bhanafunzi bhakwe bhabhele,
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
bhalolile oYesu ajenda no Yohana ajile, “Enyaji, Omwana ngole wa Ngolobhe!”
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
bhabhele bhamwonvwezye oYohana nayanga ega bhafuatile oYesu.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
Nantele oYesu agalushe na bhalole abhanafunzi bhala bhahulondolela, nabhabhozye, “Mhwanza yenu?” Bhajile, “Labi, (emaana yakwe 'mwalimu,' ukhala hwii?”
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
Wabhabhozya, “Enzaji mulole.”Nantele bhabhalile alole pale pakhalaga; bhakheye pamo nawo isiku elyo, afwatanaje yali efishile saa kumi eshi.
40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Omomo wa bhala bhabhele bhabhamwonvwezye oYohana nayanga nantele bhafwatile oYesu ali yo Andeleya, oholo wakwe oSimoni Petulo.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
Alolile oholo wakwe oSimoni omwana nahubhozye, “Tipete Omasihi” (maana yakwe Kilisiti).
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter).
Bhaleta hwa Yesu. O Yesu amwezi na ajile, “Awe we Simoni omwana wa Yohana” obhakwiziwe Kefa,” (maana yakwe 'Petulo').
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
Isiku lyalyafuatile oYesu lwahanzaga asogole abhale huGalilaya, amwajile oFilipo na hubhozye, “Nfwate ane.”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
O Filipo ali khaya wa hu Bethsaida, ekhaya ya Andrea no Petulo.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
O Filipo amwajile o Nathanaeli na hubhozye aje timwajile ola oMusa wa handishe enongwa zyakwe mu ndajizyo na Kuwaa. O Yesu omwana wa Yusufu, afume hu Nazareti.
46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
O Nathanaeli abhozyezye, “Aje ahantu ahinza hawezizye afumile hu Nazareti?” O Filipo abhozezye, Aje enzaga olole.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
U Yesu walola oNathanaeli ahwenza hwa mwene wayanga, “Waga oyenye Omwisraeli welyoli lyoli wasaga ali nilenka muhati yakwe!”
48 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.”
O Nathanaeli wabhozya, “Amenyebhole ane?” O Yesu wabhozya, “Salisele oFilipo ahukwizye nawahali pansi yikwi.”
49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
O Nathanaeli wayanga, “Waga Mwalimu awe oli Mwana wa Ngolobhe! Awe oli mwene we Wisraeli”!
50 Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”
O Yesu wayanag wabhozya, “Aje afuatanaje nabhozezye 'nalilolile pansi yikwi aje ohweteshele obhalole embombo engosi ashile ezi.”
51 He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
O Yesu wabhabhozya aje eteshile etesheli embabho lya mubhazilole emwonya zihwiguha, mubhabhalole ahalozelu wazubha na hwishe amwanya hwa Mwana wa Adamu.”
