John 1
1 In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
Akcük ma säiha Ngthu a na veki; Ngthu cun Mhnam am atänga veki, Ngthu cun Mhnama kyaki.
2 This same was in the beginning with God.
Ngthu cun akcük ma säih üngkhyüh Mhnam am a na veki.
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
Ahmäi naküt ani üngkhyüh Pamhnam naw a mhnüna kyaki; mhnünmceng naküt üng ani am ngpüikia mhnün i pi am ve.
4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
Ngthu cun xünnaka phungnua kyaki; acuna xünnak naw khyangea vei akvai lawpüiki.
5 And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
Akvai cun anghmüpnaka vai law se, nghmüp naw am näng mkhüt.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
Pamhnam naw a ngsä mat a tüih law, a ngming cun Johana kyaki.
7 This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
Ani naw khyangea veia akvaia mawng cun pyen se, khyange naw ngja u lü ami jumei law vai ua phäha kyaki.
8 He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
Amät cun akvai am ni, akvaia mawng pyen khaia lawki.
9 This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
Ani cun akvai kcang, khawmdek khana law lü khyang naküta khana vaiki.
10 He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
Ngthu cun khawmdek khana veki, khawmdek cun ani üngkhyüh mhnünmcenga kyaki. Acunsepi khawmdek naw ani am ksing.
11 He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
Amäta khyangea veia lawki. Acunsepi, amäta khyange naw am dokhamei u.
12 But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name.
Acunsepi, avang naw doei lü jumei u se, Pamhnama caea thawn theinak a jah pet.
13 Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
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.
14 And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs, (and we sawe the glorie thereof, as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father) full of grace and trueth.
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.
15 Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I.
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.
16 And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
Kümceikia ania bäkhäknak am dawkyanaka thea dawkyanak mi van naw mi yahki.
17 For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
Thum cun Mosia kut üngkhyüh Pamhnam naw a jah peta kyaki. Acunsepi, bäkhäknak ja ngthungtak ta Jesuh Khritaw üngkhyüh a jah peta kyaki.
18 No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.
U naw pi Pamhnam am hmuh khawi. Pamhnam am täng lü, Paa peia veki, a Capa mat däk naw paa mawng jah ksingsak pängki.
19 Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
Jerusalema veki Judah ngvaie naw, “Nang u ni?” ti lü, kthäh acun hea ktaiyü he ja Levihe Johana veia ami jah tüih.
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
Johan naw käh mjih lü, “Kei Mesijah am ni ngü,” ti lü a jah msang.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
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.
22 Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe?
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.
23 He said, I am the voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias.
Johan naw, “Sahma Hesajah naw a pyena mäiha, ‘Bawipaa lawnak vai lam ngsungsak u,’ ti lü khawmkyanga ngpyangki kthaia ka kyaki ni,” a ti.
24 Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
Pharisee naw ami jah tüiha khyange cun naw,
25 And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
“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.
26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
Johan naw, “Kei naw tui am Baptican ka jah pe khawiki, nami ksunga khyang mat am nami ksing ngdüiki.
27 He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
Ani cun ka hnua law sepi, a khawdawk yüi suh pet khaia pi am nglawi ngü” ti lü, a jah msang.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
Ahin avan cun Johan naw baptican a jah petnaka hnün Jordan mliktui pei Bethaniha thawnhlawkia kyaki.
29 The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.
Angawi üng Johan naw Jesuh a veia law se hmuh lü, “Khawmdeka mkhyekatnak cehpüiki Pamhnama Toca teng u!
30 This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
Acan ni, ‘Keia kthaka dämduh bawki, ka hnua lawki kyaw, cunüngpi ka maa a na ve päng kungki ni,’ ka ti cen ani ni.
31 And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
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.
32 So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
Johan naw a mawng pyen lü, “Ngmüimkhya cun müma mäiha khankhaw üngka naw kyum law lü a khana ngawki ka hmuh.
33 And I knewe him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he saide vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come downe, and tary still on him, that is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost.
“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.
34 And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
Johan naw “Ani ka hmuh pängki, ani Pamhnama Capaa kyaki tia ka ning jah mthehki,” a ti.
35 The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
Angawi betü üng, Johan naw axüisaw xawi nghngih am ngdüi lü,
36 And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
Jesuh law se hmuh lü, “Acan ni Pamhnama Toca,” a ti.
37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
Axüisaw xawi naw a pyen ngja ni lü, Jesuh läki xawi.
38 Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou?
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.
39 He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre.
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.
40 Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
Johana ngthu pyen ngja ni lü, Jesuh läki nghngih üngka mat cun Sihmon Pita a na Andrua kyaki.
41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
Andru naw akcüka a be Sihmon hmuh lü, “Mesijah hmuh ve ung” ti lü, a mtheh (Mesijah ti cun Khritaw tinak ni).
42 And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone.
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).
43 The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
Angawi üng Jesuh Kalile khawa cit khaia a ngtün üng, Philip hmuh lü, “Na läk lawa” a ti. (
44 Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
Philip cun Bethsaida mlüha kaa kyaki, acun cun Andru ja Pitaa ani venaka mlüha kyaki.)
45 Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth.
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.
46 Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
Natanelah naw, “Nazaret mlüha cimvaiki ve khai aw?” a ti. Philip naw, “Law lü, teng lawa” a ti be.
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Jesuh naw, Natanelah a veia law se hmuh lü, “A mkhyenak lang am vekia Isarel khyang kcang, teng ua” ti lü, a pyen.
48 Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee.
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.
49 Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
Natanelah naw, “Rabbi, nang Pamhnama Capa ni, Isarelea Sangpuxanga pi kya veki,” a ti.
50 Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these.
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.
51 And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man.
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.
