John 1
1 In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
Kundandubhoko, ashinkupagwa Lilobhe, Lilobhejo paaliji pamo na a Nnungu, shibhaliji a Nnungu na jwalakwe Lilobhe paaliji nneyo peyo.
2 This same was in the beginning with God.
Lilobheju paaliji pamo na a Nnungu kuuumila kundandubho.
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
Indu yowe puipengenywe kupitila Jwenejo, shakwa shindu shipengenywe gwangali jwenejo.
4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
Jwenejo shiumilo sha gumi na pugwaliji shilangaya kubhandu.
5 And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
Shilangayasho shinalangaya pa lubhindu, wala lubhindu lwangakombola kuima shilangaya.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
Gwakoposhele mundu jumo atumilwe na a Nnungu, lina lyakwe a Yowana,
7 This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
jwenejo ashinkuika kukong'ondela ga shilangayasho. Nkupinga kwa ntenga gwakwe bhandu bhowe bhakulupalilanje.
8 He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
A Yowana bhayene nngabha shene shilangayasho, ikabhe bhashinkuika kukong'ondela ga jwene aliji shilangayasho.
9 This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
Jweneju ni shilangaya shiyene akwiya pa shilambolyo, kukwamulishilanga bhandu bhowe.
10 He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
Shilangayajo paaliji pashilambolyo, kupitila jwenejo shilambolyo gushipengenywe, ikabheje bhandu bha pa shilambolyo bhangammanyanga.
11 He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
Aishe kubhandu bhakwe, ikabheje bhandu bhakwe bhangamposhelanga.
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.
Ikabheje bhowe bhamposhelenje nikunkulupalila, gwabhatendilenje kubha bhana bha a Nnungu,
13 Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
bhabhelekwenje nngabha kwa komboywa na mundu, wala mashili ga shiilu wala kwaapinga mundu, ikabhe kwaapinga a Nnungu.
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.
Lilobhe gwatendeshe kubha mundu nigwatemi kunngwetu. Na uwe gutuubhweni ukonjelo gwakwe, ukonjelo guka Mwana jwa jika akoposhela kwa Atati, agumbele nema na kweli.
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.
A Yowana bhabhatisha bhayene gubhaabhalanjilenje bhandu kwa lilobhe lya utiya bhalinkuti, “Jweneju junantayaga kuti, ‘Akwiya nnyuma jangu jwankulungwa kumbunda nne, pabha aapali nne nganabhe pagwa.’”
16 And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
Kwa ligongo lya punda nema jabho, uwe tubhowe tupatile mboka ja punda.
17 For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
Pabha Shalia pujiishe kupitila a Musha, nema na kweli puiishe kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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.
Jwakwa mundu jojowe abhabhweni a Nnungu, ikabhe Mwana jwa jikape jwa a Nnungu, ali pamo na Atati, jwenejo atulangwiye shibhali a Nnungu.
19 Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
Gweguno ni ukong'ondelo gwa a Yowana ku bhakulungwanji bha Bhayaudi bha ku Yelushalemu, pubhaatumilenje bhakulungwanji bha bhishila na Bhalawi, bhakaabhuyanje a Yowana, “Mmwe agani?”
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
A Yowana bhangakana kwaajangulanga, gubhaabhalanjilenje gwangali nng'iyo, “Nne nngabha a Kilishitu.”
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
Penepo gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhai, Mmwe agani? Bhuli, mmwe a Eliya?” A Yowana gubhajangwile, “Nng'oope, nne nngabha bhene.” Gubhabhushiyenje, “Mmwe ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhala?” A Yowana gubhaajangwilenje, “Nng'oope.”
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?
Bhalabhonji gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhai, mmwe agani? Nkwitaya bhuli mmayene? Ntubhalanjile, nkupinga tukaabhalanjilanje bhatutumilenje kukummuya bhala.”
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.
A Yowana gubhaajangwilenje, malinga ankulondola bha a Nnungu a Ishaya shibhalugwile. “Nne ni lilobhe lika mundu lipilikanika kuanga. Mwaalashiyanje Bhakulungwa mpanda gwabho, ‘Nngoloyanje mushibhapite.’”
24 Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
Bhene bhandunji bhatumilwenje na Mapalishayo bhala,
25 And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
gubhaabhushiyenje a Yowana, “Monaga mmwe nngabha a Kilishitu na nngabha a Eliya na wala nngabha ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhala, pakuti nnabhatisha?”
26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
A Yowana gubhaajangwilenje, “Nne ngunabhatisha kwa mashi, ikabheje bhapali bhamo munkumbi gwenunji bhunkanabhe kwaamanyanga.
27 He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
Bhene bhunalugwile bhanakwiya nnyuma jangu, nne nangatopela kubha ntumishi jwabho nkali jwa gopola mbundo ya ilatu yabho.”
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
Genego kugatendeshe ku Bhetania, kung'ambo lushi lwa Yolodani kubhabhatishaga a Yowana.
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.
Malabhi gakwe, a Yowana gubhaabhweni a Yeshu bhalinkwajiila, gubhashite, “Nnole, bhenebha Mwana Ngondolo jwa a Nnungu, bhaajigala yambi ya bhandu bha pashilambolyo!
30 This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
Bhenebha bhunakungulushilaga nilinkuti, ‘Nnyuma jangu bhanakwiya bhandu bhamo bhali bhakulungwa kumbunda nne, pabha bhaapali nne nganabhe pagwa!’
31 And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
Nne namwene ngaamanyiji, ikabheje njikwiya bhatisha kwa mashi nkupinga bhandu bha Ishilaeli bhaamanyanje.”
32 So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
A Yowana gubhakong'ondele bhalinkuti, “Nashinkumona Mbumu jwa a Nnungu alituluka mbuti nnjubha, kukoposhela kunnungu nikwaatula.
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.
Nne nganaamanye, ikabheje bhene bhandumile kubhatisha kwa mashi bhala bhanugulile, ‘Mundu jushimummone alikuntula Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, jwenejo shaabhatishe kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.’
34 And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
Nne nigabhweni na ngunakong'ondela kuti bhenebha Bhanabhabho a Nnugu.”
35 The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
Malabhi gakwe, a Yowana pubhaaliji na bhaajiganywa bhabho bhabhili.
36 And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
Bhakaabhoneje a Yeshu bhalipita, gubhashite, “Nnolanje! Mwana Ngondolo jwa a Nnungu.”
37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
Bhaajiganywa bhabhili bha a Yowana bhala, bhakapilikananjeje gene malobhego, gubhaakagwilenje a Yeshu.
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?
Bhai, a Yeshu gubhatendebhwishe gubhaabhweninji bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana bhalikwakagulanga, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Nkuloleyanga nndi?” Bhalabhonji gubhaajangwilenje, “Alabhi, kunkutama kwei?” A Labhi, malombolelo gakwe Bhaajiganya.
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.
A Yeshu gubhabhaalanjilenje, “Nnjiyangananje shimpabhonanje.” Bhaajiganywa bhala gubhaakagwilenje gubhapabhweninji pubhatamaga, puyaliji shaa kumi ja ligulo na gubhatemi nabhonji lyene lyubhalyo.
40 Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
Jumo jwa bhene bhaajiganywa bhabhili bhaapilikenenje a Yowana bhalibheleketa nikwakagula a Yeshu, pubhashemwaga a Ndeleya, apwabho a Shimoni Petili.
41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
A Ndeleya gubhatandwibhe kwaaloleya akulu bhabho a Shimoni, gubhaalugulile, “Twaabhweni a Mashiya” malombolelo gakwe a Kilishitu Bhaatapula.
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.
Kungai gubhaapeleshe kwa a Yeshu. Na bhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalolile nigubhashite, “Mmwe a Shimoni bhana bhabho a Yowana. Nnaino shinshemwe a Kepa.” Malombolelo gakwe Petili, yani, “Liganga.”
43 The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
Malabhi gakwe a Yeshu gubhapinjile kwenda ku Galilaya. Bhai, gubhaabhweni a Pilipi gubhaabhalanjile, “Nngagule.”
44 Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
A Pilipi pubhaliji bhandu bha ku Bhetishaida shilambo shibhatamaga a Ndeleya na a Petili.
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.
A Pilipi bhakaabhoneje a Natanaeli nigubhaabhalanjile, “Twaabhweni bhene bhajandikwe muitabhu ya shalia ya a Musha na ya ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, a Yeshu bhana bhabho a Yoshepu bha ku Nashaleti.”
46 Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
A Natanaeli gubhaabhushiye a Pilipi, “Bhuli, inakomboleka shindu shoshowe sha mmbone kukopoka ku Nashaleti?” A Pilipi gubhaabhalanjile, “Nnjiye kunnole.”
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
A Yeshu bhakaabhoneje a Natanaeli bhalikwajiila, gubhashite, “Nnolanje, bhenebha Bhaishilaeli bha kweli, bhangali ya nyata muntima gwabho.”
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.
A Natanaeli gubhaabhushiye, “Mmwe pummanyi nne shanabhuli?” A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Nammweni nni paina nkongo pala, nkali nkanabhe shemwa na a Pilipi.”
49 Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
Penepo a Natanaeli gubhaalugulile, “Mmajiganya, mmwe Bhanabhabho a Nnungu. Mmwe a Mpalume bha Ishilaeli!”
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.
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Bhuli, nnakulupalila pabha njikummalanjila kuti namweni nni paina nkongo pala? Shinngabhone gamakulungwa kupunda genega.”
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.
A Yeshu gubhapundile kubheleketa, “Kweli kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, shinkubhonanje kunnungu kuliuguka na ashimalaika bha a Nnungu bhalikwelanga na tuluka kwangu nne Mwana juka Mundu.”
