John 1
1 In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
Va thonono, Diambu dikibela, Diambu diba va kimosi ayi Nzambi ayi Diambu diawu Nzambi.
2 This same was in the beginning with God.
Diambu diba va thonono va kimosi ayi Nzambi.
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
Bima bioso bivangimina mu diawu, kuisi ko kima kikambu vangu mu kambu diawu mu bibioso bikivangulu.
4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
Mu diawu muba Luzingu. Luzingu beni luba kiezila ki batu.
5 And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
Kiezila kilembo kienzuka mu tombi vayi tombi kisia kisudika ko.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
Vaba Mutu wumosi wutumu kuidi Nzambi, dizina diandi Yowani.
7 This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
Wuyiza mu telama kimbangi; mu telama kimbangi mu diambu di kiezila muingi batu boso bawilukila mu niandi.
8 He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
Niandi veka kasia ba kiezila ko, vayi, niandi wuyiza kaka mu telama kimbangi mu diambu di kiezila.
9 This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
Kiezila ki kiedika kiawu kioki kiyiza va ntoto, kioki kieti kienzulanga batu boso.
10 He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
Niandi diambu diyiza va ntoto ayi ntoto wuvangu mu niandi vayi ntoto wusia kunzaba ko.
11 He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
Niandi wuyiza ku tsiꞌandi vayi basi tsiꞌandi basia kuntambula ko.
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.
Vayi kuidi batu boso bantambula, niandi wuba vana lulendo lukitukila bana ba Nzambi; bobo bawilukila mu dizina diandi.
13 Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
Bika sia ti bana beni mu menga voti mu luzolo lu nsuni babutukila, voti mu luzolo lu mutu vayi babutu mu luzolo lu Nzambi.
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.
Diambu dikituka nsuni ayi diyiza zinga va khatitsikꞌeto. Beto tumona nkembo andi; banga nkembo wu Muana wumosi kaka wowo wuba kuidi Tata. Nkembo beni wuba wuwala mu nlemvo ayi mu kiedika.
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.
Yowani wuntelimina kimbangi bu katuba mu yamikina: —Talanu mutu wawu, niandi ndiyolukila mu thangu ndilukamba: mutu wowo wunkuiza ku manima mama wundutidi munneni, bila niandi wutuama kukibela ayi minu.
16 And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
Mu diambu di fuluka ku nlemvo andi, beto boso tutambula lusakumunu va mbata lusakumunu.
17 For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
Bila Moyize niandi wuvana Mina vayi Yesu Klisto niandi wunata nlemvo ayi kiedika.
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.
Kadi mutu kamuenieti Nzambi ko vayi Muanꞌandi wumosi kaka widi va ndambu yi Tata, niandi wunzabikisidi.
19 Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
Vava vadi kimbangi ki Yowani mu thangu Bayuda baba ku Yelusalemi bafidisa zinganga Nzambi ayi Balevi muingi banyuvula: “ngeyo widi nani e?”
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
Buna wuba kamba kiedika mu kambu memata: —Minu ndisi ama Klisto ko.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
Babuela kunyuvula: —Vayi buna widi nani e? Widi Eli? Wuba vutudila: —Ndisi ama Eli ko! Bawu babuela kunyuvula: —Widi mbikudi e? Wuba vutudila: —Nana.
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?
Buna babuela kunyuvula diaka: —Vayi widi nani e? Wutukamba muingi tubaka buvanina mvutu kuidi bobo batutumini. Mbi wuntuba mu diambu di ngeyo veka e?
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.
Buna wuba kamba: —Minu ndidi mbembo yi mutu wowo wulembo yamikina mu dikanga: luludika nzila yi Pfumu banga bu bikudila mbikudi Ezayi.
24 Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
Batu Bobo bafidusu baba mu dikabu di Bafalisi;
25 And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
banyuvula: —Enati wisi Klisto ko voti Eli ko, voti mbikudi ko vayi buna bila mbi wulembo botikila e?
26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
Yowani wuba vutudila: —Minu ndilembo lubotikila mu nlangu, vayi va khatitsikꞌeno vadi mutu wumosi wulukambulu zaba,
27 He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
mutu wowo wunkuiza ku manima mama, ndisi fuana ko mu nianguna minsinga mi zisapatu ziandi.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
Mambu mama ku Betani maviokila, buala buidi va disimu di nzadi Yolidani, kuna Yowani kaba botikilanga batu.
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.
Mu lumbu kilanda, Yowani wumona Yesu wunkuiza kuidi niandi, buna wutuba: —Tala, Muana dimemi di Nzambi wumbotulanga masumu ma nza.
30 This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
Niandi mutu wowo ndiluyolukila bu ndilukamba ti: “Mutu wowo wunkuiza ku manima mama wundutidi munneni bila niandi wutuama kukibela ayi minu.”
31 And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
Minu ndisia tuama kunzaba ko, vayi mu diambu kazabakana kuidi Iseli diawu minu ndilembo botikila mu nlangu.
32 So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
Yowani wutelama kimbangi bu katuba: —Ndimona Pheve yitotukila ku Diyilu banga dibembe, yivuanda va niandi.
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.
Kuidi minu, ndisi kunzaba ko; vayi mutu wowo wuthuma mu kuiza botika mu nlangu niandi wukhamba: “Va mutu wowo wela mona Pheve yikulukidi va niandi ayi yivuendi va niandi; buna niandi mutu wela botikila mu Pheve Yinlongo.”
34 And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
Buna minu ndimona ayi nditelama kimbangi ti mutu wawu niandi muana Nzambi.
35 The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
Diaka mu lumbu kilanda, Yowani wuba diaka vana ayi minlonguki miandi miodi.
36 And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
Mu thangu kamona Yesu wumviokila vana buna wutuba: —Tala, Muana dimemi di Nzambi.
37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
Minlonguki mi miodi minwa bu katuba, buna milandakana 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 bu kabaluka wuba mona balembo nlandakana. Diawu kaba yuvudila: —A mbi luntomba e? Bamvutudila: —Labi bu dinsundula Nlongi, kuevi wukala e?
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.
Wuba kamba: —Yizanu ayi malumona. Bayenda ayi bamona va kaba nkalanga. Bakala yandi mu lumbu kina; yiba nduka-nduka thangu yi nya yi masika.
40 Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
Andele, khomba yi Simoni Piela, wuba wumosi mu minlonguki beni miodi miomi miwa mambu ma Yowani ayi milandakana Yesu.
41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
Ku nzimunina, niandi wuyenda bata theti khombꞌandi Simoni, wunkamba: —Beto tumueningi Mesiya Tsundu Mesiya Klisto.
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.
Buna wunnata kuidi Yesu. Yesu bu kantala, buna wunkamba: —Ngeyo widi Simoni, muana Zonasi. Ngeyo wela tedolongo Sefasi. Tsundu Sefasi “Ditadi”.
43 The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
Mu lumbu kilanda, Yesu wukana kuenda ku Ngalili. Wumona Filipi ayi wunkamba: —Wundandakana!
44 Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
Filipi wuba muisi Betesayida, divula dimosi ayi Andele ayi Piela.
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 wuyenda tala Natanayeli ayi wunkamba: —Beto tumueningi mutu wowo Moyize kayolukila mu Mina ayi wowo mimbikudi miyolukila, dizina diandi Yesu, muana zozefu muisi Nazaleti.
46 Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
Natanayeli wunkamba: —Buna ku Nazaleti kulenda kuandi totukila diambu dimboti e? Filipi wumvutudila: —Yiza ayi mona.
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Yesu wumona Natanayeli wulembo yizi ku kaba, buna wutuba: —Tala muisi Iseli wukiedika, mu niandi mukambulu mayuya.
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.
Natanayeli wunyuvula: —Kuevi wunzabidi e? Yesu wumvutudila: —Tuamina Filipi kiza kambi, bu vuendingi kuna tsi nti wu figi, minu ndimueningi.
49 Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
Buna Natanayeli wunkamba: —Nlongi, ngeyo widi Muana Nzambi, widi ntinu wu Iseli.
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 wumvutudila: —Ngeyo wilukidi bu ndikembi ti ndimueningi bu vuendingi ku tsi nti wu figi e? Wela mona mambu manneni viokila mama.
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.
Buna wubuela kamba: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba, luela mona Diyilu dizibukidi ayi zimbasi zi Nzambi ziela maka ayi kuluka va muana mutu.
