John 1
1 In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
Panjiti lipaga kuweriti na Shisoweru, Shisoweru kaweriti pamuhera na Mlungu, nayomberi kaweriti Mlungu.
2 This same was in the beginning with God.
Kwanjira kwanja Shisoweru kaweriti pamuhera na Mlungu.
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
Kupitila shisoweru, Mlungu kawumbiti vintu vyoseri, kwahera ata shintu shimu shawashiwumbitwi pota nayomberi.
4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
Shisoweru ndo shanzu sha makaliru na makaliru aga gajegiti weru kwa wantu.
5 And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
Uweru awu ulangala muntiti na ntiti hapeni izimiziyi uweru awu.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
Mlungu kamtumiti mjumbi gwakuwi litawu lyakuwi Yohani,
7 This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
Yakiziti kuwapitawulira wantu kuusu uweru awu, su woseri wapikiniriti ujumbi na wamijimiri.
8 He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
Yohani kaweriti ndiri uweru, ira kiziti hera kuwagambira wantu kuusu uweru awu.
9 This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
Awu ndo weru wanakaka, weru wankwiza pasipanu, kuwawalira wantu woseri.
10 He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
Shisoweru kaweriti pasipanu. Mlungu kanyawiti pasipanu kupitira Shisoweru, kumbiti wantu wa pasipanu wamumana ndiri.
11 He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
Kiziti muisi yakuwi mweni, kumbiti wantu wakuwi mweni wamuwanka ndiri.
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.
Kumbiti wamonga yawamuwankiti na kumjimira, awa kawayupiti uwezu wa kuwera wana wa Mlungu.
13 Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
Womberi waweriti ndiri wana wa Mlungu kwa uwezu wa wantu ama kwa makakala ga nshimba ama kwa kufira kwa muntu, ira Mlungu mweni kawatenditi waweri wana wakuwi.
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.
Shisoweru kaweriti muntu, kalikaliti na twenga, kaweriti upendelewu nentu pamuhera na unakaka. Tuwoniti ukwisa wakuwi, ukwisa yakauwankiti, wa Mwana gwa gweka gwa Tati.
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 kawagambira wantu kuusu Shisoweru. Kabotanga, “Ayu ndo ulii yanumtakuliti shipindi pantakuliti, ‘Paneni kankwiza muntu yumu, yomberi ndo mkulu kuliku neni, toziya kaweriti kala neni naniyiwuki.’”
16 And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
Kulawira na upendelewu uvuwa wakuwi, katutekeleriti woseri, katupiti utekeleru na utekeleru.
17 For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
Mlungu katupiti Lilagaliru kupitira Musa, kumbiti upendelewu na unakaka viziti kupitira Yesu Kristu.
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.
Kwahera muntu yakamwoniti Mlungu. Kumbiti Mwana gwa gweka yakaweriti Mlungu na yakaweriti uwega wa Tati gwakuwi, ndo yakatenditi kamanikani.
19 Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
Awu ndo upitawu wa Yohani kwa wakulu wa Wayawudi Yerusalemu kulii pawawatumiti watambika wamu na wantu wa ukowu wa Lawi wa numba ya Mlungu wagendi kwa Yohani wamkosiyi, “Gwenga gwa gaa?”
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
Yohani kalemiti ndiri kuwankula, ira katakuliti pota na kufifa, kalongiti, “Neni na Kristu ndiri yakasyagulitwi na Mlungu kuwalopoziya wantu.”
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
Womberi wamkosiya, “Su, gwenga gwa gaa? Gwenga gwa Eliya?” Yohani kawankula, “Ndala, neni ndiri.” Wamkosiya kayi, “Gwenga ndo ulii Mbuyi gwa Mlungu yawamtakuliti?” Yohani Kawankula, “Ndala!”
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?
Nawomberi wamgambira, “Su, gutugambiri gwenga gwa gaa? Su gutakula hashi kuusu gumweni? Hatugendi kutakula ntambu yagutuwankula kwa walii yawatutumiti.”
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 kawankula ntambu yakalembiti Isaya mbuyi gwa Mlungu, “Neni ndo liziwu lya muntu yakabotanga mushiwala, ‘Mnyawi njira yakupitira Mtuwa!’”
24 Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
Wajumbi yawatumitwi na Mafalisayu,
25 And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
wamkosiyiti Yohani, “Paguwera ndiri Kristu, ama Eliya, ama ulii Mbuyi gwa Mlungu, iwera hashi gubatiza?”
26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
Yohani kawankula, “Neni mbatiza kwa mashi, kumbiti kwana yumu pakati penu yamummana ndiri.
27 He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
Paneni kankwiza, neni herepa ndiri ata kuyopola lugoyi zya vilyatu vyakuwi.”
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
Vitwatila vyoseri vyavilawiriti Betaniya kusika mwa lushemba lwa Yoridani, pahala Yohani pakawera kankubatiza.
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.
Shirawu yakuwi, Yohani kamwoniti Yesu kankumwizira. Yohani katakula, “Ayu ndo Mwana Kondolu gwa Mlungu, yakawusiya vidoda vya wantu wa pasipanu!
30 This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
Ayu ndo ulii yanumtakuliti, pantakuliti, ‘Paneni kamkwiza muntu yumu mkulu kuliku neni, toziya kaweriti kala neni haneniyiwuki.’
31 And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
Namweni numumaniti ndiri, kumbiti niziti kubatiza kwa mashi su yomberi kamanikana kwa wantu wa Israeli.”
32 So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
Na awu ndo upitawu Yohani yakautakuliti, “Moniti Rohu Mnanagala kankusuluka gambira nkunda pakiza kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu na kumkangalira.
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.
Neni numumana ndiri kuwera yomberi ndo uliya yanumtakuliti, su Mlungu yakantumiti neni kubatiza kwa mashi, kang'ambiriti, ‘Hagumwoni Rohu pakamsulukira muntu kulawa kumpindi, ndo ulii yakabatiza kwa Rohu Mnanagala.’
34 And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
Yohani katakuliti, Neni moniti, nuwagambirani nakaka kuwera ayu ndo Mwana gwa Mlungu.”
35 The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
Shirawu yakuwi, Yohani kaweriti kayi paliya pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi wawili,
36 And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
pakamwoniti Yesu kankupita katakula, “Ayu ndo Mwana Kondolu gwa Mlungu.”
37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
Wafundwa wawili pawapikaniriti aga, su wagenditi pamuhera na 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 kagalambukiti, kawawoniti wankumfata, su kawakosiya, “Mwankusakula shishi?” Womberi wamwankula, “Rabi” mana yakuwi “mfunda” gulikala koshi?
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 kawagambira, “Mwizi na mloli.” Iweriti handa saa lilongu pamihi. Su wagenditi pamuhera na yomberi na wapawoniti pahala pakalikaliti. Walikaliti pamuhera na Yesu lishaka lyoseri.
40 Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
Andereya, mlongu gwa Simoni Peteru, yakampikiniriti Yohani pakalonga na mweni kamfatiti Yesu.
41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
Andereya kamwoniti kwanja mlongu gwakuwi Simoni, kamgambira, “Tumwoniti ulii Mlopoziya yakasyaguritwi na Mlungu” Ayu ndo Kristu Mlopoziya.
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.
Su wamjegiti Simoni kwa Yesu. Yesu kamlola Simoni na kalonga, “Litawu lyaku ndo Simoni mwana gwa Yohani, Kumbiti hagushemwi Kefa.” Kwa Shigiriki ndo Peteru, mana yakuwi “Litalawu.”
43 The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
Shirawu yakuwi Yesu kaamuwiti kugenda Galilaya. Su kamwoniti Filipu, kamgambira, “Gunfati!”
44 Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
Filipu kaweriti mwenikaya gwa Betisayida, lushi lyawalikaliti ashina Andereya na Peteru.
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.
Filipu kamwoniti Nataniyeri na kamgambira, “Tumwona ulii mweni Musa kamlembiti mushitabu sha Malagaliru na wambuyi wa Mlungu walembiti kuusu mweni. Mweni ndo Yesu mwana gwa Yosefu, kulawa Nazareti.”
46 Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
Nataniyeri kamkosiya Filipu, “Kwana shintu shoseri shiherepa shiza kulawa Nazareti?” Filipu kamwankula, “Gwizi guloli.”
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Yesu pakamwoniti Nataniyeri kankumwizira, katakuliti kuusu yomberi, “Mloli! Ayu ndo Mwisraeli nakaka, kwahera shinika kwakuwi.”
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.
Nataniyeri kamkosiya “Gumana ashi neni?” Yesu kamwankula, “Pamberi pa Filipu kukushema, nukuwoniti pagulivagiti pasi pa mtera gwa mkuyu.”
49 Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
Nataniyeri kamwankula, “mfunda, Gwenga ndo Mwana gwa Mlungu! Gwenga gwa Mfalumi gwa Israeli!”
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 kamgambira, “Hashi, gujimira toziya nukugambiriti kuwera nukuwoniti pasi pa mtera gwa mkuyu? Haguwoni vikulu nentu vivuwa kuliku avi!”
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.
Na Yesu kawagambiriti womberi, “Nankuwagambirani mwenga nakaka, hamuwoni kumpindi kwa Mlungu kuvuguka na wantumintumi wa kumpindi pawakwena na kumsulukira Mwana gwa Muntu.”
