John 1
1 In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
Penapo pakutumbula, kwakona vindu vyoha viwumbiki lepi avili mmonga mweakemeliwi Lilovi. Lilovi avili na Chapanga. Mwene avili Chapanga.
2 This same was in the beginning with God.
Kuhuma kutumbula avili pamonga na Chapanga.
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
Kupitila mwene, Chapanga awumbili vindu vyoha, kawaka chindu hati chimonga chechawumbiki changali mwene.
4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
Mwene ndi chinyepa cha wumi na wumi wene uletili lumuli kwa vandu.
5 And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
Lumuli lwenulo lulangasa kuchitita, na chene chitita chihotola lepi kulujimisa.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
Chapanga amtumili mundu mmonga liina laki Yohani,
7 This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
mwene abweli kuvajovela vandu kuluvala lumuli lwenulo. Abweli muni vandu voha vayuwana na kusadika ujumbi waki.
8 He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
Yohani mwene avi lepi lumuli lwenulo, nambu abweli kuvajovela vandu kuluvala lumuli lwenulo.
9 This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
Lwenulo ndi lumuli lwa chakaka, lumuli lwelubwela pamulima na kuvalangasila vandu voha.
10 He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
Hinu, lilovi lila avili pamulima na kupitila mwene Chapanga awumbili mulima, nambu vandu va pamulima wammanyili lepi.
11 He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
Abwelili pavandu vaki mwene, nambu vandu vaki vampokili lepi.
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.
Nambu vandu vevampokili, na kumsadika, avapeli uhotola wa kuvya vana va Chapanga.
13 Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
Vavi vana va Chapanga lepi kwa kuvelekewa ngati vandu chevivelekewa. Amala vavelikwi lepi ngati vandu chevigana, nambu kwa maganu ga Chapanga mwene.
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.
Lilovi lila akavya mundu, akatama kwitu. Ndi tiuwene ukulu waki, ukulu waki mwene nga Mwana wa Dadi Chapanga, amemili ubwina wa Chapanga na uchakaka.
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.
Yohani avajovili vandu malovi gaki. Akajova kwa lwami, “Mwenuyu ndi yula mwenamuluwili penajovili, ‘Ibwela mundu mweigelekela pahali pangu mkulu kuliku nene, muni amali kuvya kwakona nene kuvelekewa.’”
16 And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
Ndava cheavili ubwina waki wamahele tete tavoha tipokili mota yamahele.
17 For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
Chapanga atipeli malagizu kupitila Musa, nambu ubwina wa Chapanga na chakaka utibwelili kupitila Yesu Kilisitu.
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.
Kawaka mundu mweamuwene Chapanga katu. Nambu nga Mwana waki yuyo mweavi Chapanga na mweaganiwi na Dadi, mwene atimanyisi mambu gaki.
19 Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
Genaga ndi malovi Yohani geajovili ndava yaki lukumbi vachilongosi va Vayawudi ku Yelusalemu pevavatumili vamteta va Chapanga na Valawi vamkotayi, “Veve wayani?”
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
Yohani abelili lepi kuyangula likotesi lenilo, nambu akajova hotohoto, “Nene lepi Kilisitu Msangula.”
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
Kangi vakamkota, “Hinu veve ndi wayani? Wu, veve ndi Eliya?” Yohani akayangula, “Lepi.” Vakamkota kangi, “Veve ndi yula mlota wa Chapanga?” Akavayangula, “Lepi!”
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?
Kangi vakamkota, “Hinu wayani veve? Wijova wuli kukuvala wamwene? Utijovelayi na tete tikavayangula vevatitumili.”
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.
Yohani akayangula, nene ndi yula mlota Isaya ajovili malovi gaki, “Nene ndi lwami lwa mundu ikemela kulugangatu. ‘Mgolosayi njila ya Bambu.’”
24 Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
Vandu avo vatumwili na Vafalisayu,
25 And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
vakamkota Yohani, “Ngati veve lepi Kilisitu Msangula mweahaguliwi na Chapanga, amala Eliya, amala mlota wa Chapanga, ndava kyani wibatiza?”
26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
Yohani akavayangula, “Nene nibatiza kwa manji, nambu avi mmonga pagati yinu, mwakona kummanya.
27 He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
Mweibwela pahali pangu, ndi nene niganikiwa lepi hati kuwopola nyosi za champali zaki.”
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
Mambu genago gakitiki kumuji wa Betania, kumwambu ya mfuleni Yoludani, Yohani kweavi mukubatiza.
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.
Chilau yaki, Yohani amuwene Yesu akumbwelela akajova, “Lola, mwenuyu ndi Mwana limbelele wa Chapanga, ndi mweiwusa kumbudila Chapanga pamulima!
30 This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
Ndi mwenamlongalili yula penajovili, ‘Pahali pa nene ibwela mundu mkulu kuliku nene, mwene avili kwakona nene kuvelekewa!’
31 And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
Hati namwene nangammanya, nambu nibweli kubatiza na manji muni vandu va Isilaeli vammanyayi.”
32 So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
Kangi Yohani atijovili gala geagawene, “Namuwene Mpungu Msopi akumuhelelela ngati ngunda kuhuma kunani na kutula panani yaki.
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.
Nene nangammanya, nambu yula mweanitumili kubatiza vandu na manji amali kunijovela, ‘Mundu mweakumlola Mpungu Msopi akumuhelelela kuhuma kunani na kutama panani yaki, ndi mweibatiza na Mpungu Msopi.’
34 And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
Kangi Yohani akajova nene nigalolili mambu aga na nikuvajovela uchakaka kuvya mwenuyu ndi Mwana waki Chapanga.”
35 The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
Kangi chilau yaki, Yohani avili pandu penapo, pamonga na vawuliwa vaki vavili.
36 And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
Peamuwene Yesu ipita akajova, “Lola! Uyu ndi Mwana Limbelele wa Chapanga.”
37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
Vawuliwa vavili vala pevayuwini malovi geajovayi Yohani gala vakamlanda Yesu.
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?
Yesu ang'anamwiki, avawene vawuliwa vala vakumlanda, akavakota, “Mwilonda kyani?” Vakamkota, “Labi witama koki?” Labi mana yaki Muwula.
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.
Yesu akavajovela, “Mbwela, na nyenye yati mwilola,” Vawuliwa vala vakamlanda yavili lukumbi lwa saa kumi ya kimihi na vakatama kwaki ligono lenilo.
40 Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
Andelea, mlongo waki Simoni Petili avi mmonga pagati ya vavili avo vevamyuwini Yohani geajovili, vakamlanda Yesu.
41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
Andelea akatumbula kumlonda Simoni mlongo waki, akamjovela “Timuwene Msangula.” Ndi kujova “Kilisitu.”
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.
Kangi ampeliki Simoni kwa Yesu. Ndi Yesu akamlolokesa Simoni akajova, “Simoni veve mwana wa Yohani. Hinu yati ukemelewa Kefa,” Kwa Chigiliki ndi Petili, mana yaki “Litalau.”
43 The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
Chilau yaki Yesu akawuka, kuhamba kumulima wa Galilaya ndi amkolili Filipi, akamjovela “Nilandayi.”
44 Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
Filipi mkolonjinji wa ku Betisaida, muji wevitama Andelea na 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.
Filipi amkoli Natanyeli, akamjovela, “Timuwene mwene, mweayandikiwi na Musa muchitabu cha malagizu, na vamlota va Chapanga vayandiki mambu gaki, Yesu wa kuhuma kumuji wa Nazaleti mwana wa Yosefu.”
46 Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
Natanyeli akamkota Filipi, “Chindu cha bwina chihotola wuli kuhumila ku Nazaleti?” Mwene akamjovela, “Bwelayi ulole.”
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Yesu peamuwene Natanyeli akumbwelela, akajova, “Lola! Chakaka mwenuyu ndi Mwiisilaeli chakaka, kawaka udese mugati yaki hati padebe.”
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.
Natanyeli akamkota Yesu, “Unimanyi wuli?” “Mwene akamyangula, kwakona Filipi angakukemela nakuwene pewavi pahi pa mkongo wa mkuyu.”
49 Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
Penapo Natanyeli akamjovela, “Muwula,” Veve ndi Mwana wa Chapanga! “Veve ndi Nkosi wa Isilaeli!”
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.
Yesu akamjovela usadika ndava nikujovili nakuwene pahi ya mkongo wa mkuyu? Yati ukugawona gavaha neju ya aga.
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.
Ndi akayonjokesa kujova, “Chakaka nikuvajovela, yati mwilola kunani kwa Chapanga kudinduka na vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga vikwela na kuhelela panani pa Mwana wa Mundu.”
