John 1
1 In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
Kubhwandelu kwa jhela ni Lilobhi, ni Lilobhi ajhela pamonga ni K'yara, ni lilobhi ajhele K'yara.
2 This same was in the beginning with God.
E'le lilobhi, kubhwandelu ajhele pamonga ni K'yara.
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
Fenu fyoha fyabhombiki kup'etela muene, ni bila muene kujhelepi khenu kimonga kya kikajhele kimalikubhombibhwa.
4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
Mugati mwa muene kwajhele ni bhusima, ni bhusima obhu bhwajhele nuru jha bhanadamu bhoha.
5 And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
Nuru jing'ara mu ngisi, wala ngisi jhajhisimisi lepi.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
Pajhe ni munu jha atumibhu kuh'omela kwa K'yara, ambajhe lihina lya muene akutibhweghe Yohana.
7 This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
Ahidili kama shahidi kushuhudila kuhusu nuru jhela, ili kwamba bhoha bhabhwesiajhi kuamini kup'etela muene.
8 He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
Yohana ajhelepi nuru jhela, bali ahidili kushuhudila kuhusu nuru jhela.
9 This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
Ejhu jhajhele nuru jha bhukweli ambajho jhajhele jhihida ku dunia najhu jhikampela nuru kila mmonga
10 He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
Ajhele ku dunia ni dunia jhabhombiki kup'etela muene, ni dunia jhammanyi lepi.
11 He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
Ahidili kwa fenu fya muene, nibharui bha muene bhabelikumpokela.
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.
Bali kwa bhala bhingi bhabhampokili, ambabho bhaliamini lihina lya muene, kwa abhu abhapelili haki jha kujha bhana bha K'yara,
13 Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
Ambabho bhahogoliki, sio kwa damu, wala kwa mapenzi gha mb'ele, wala kwa mapenzi gha munu, bali kwa K'yara muene.
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.
Nu muene Lilobhi abhombiki mb'ele ni kutama miongoni mwa tete, tubhubhwene bhutukufu bhwa muene, bhutukufu kama bhwamunu muene ghwa pasima ahidili kuh'omela kwa dadi, amemili neema ni 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.
Yohana ashuhudili kuhusu muene, na akwesili sauti ajobhili, “Ojho ndo jha najobhili habari sya muene najobhili, “Jhola jhaibetakuhida badala jha nene ndo mbaha kuliko nene, kwa ndabha ajhele kabla jha nene.”
16 And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
Kwa kujha kuh'omela mu bhutimilifu bhwa muene, tete twebhoha tupokili mebhu kipawa baada jha kipawa.
17 For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
Kwa kujha sheria jhaletibhu kup'etela Musa. Neema ni kweli fyahidili kup'etela 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.
Ajhelepi mwanadamu jhaambwene K'yara wakati bhuoha. Munu muene ambajhe ndo K'yara, jhaajhele pa kifua kya dadi, ambombili muene amanyikanayi.
19 Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
Na obhu ndo bhushuhuda bhwa Yohana wakati makuhani ni walawi bhabhatumibhu kwa muene ni bhayahudi kun'kota, “Bhebhe wa niani?”
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
Bila kusitasita na abelilepi, bali ajibili, “Nene na Kristu lepi.”
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
Hivyo bhakan'kota, “henu bhebhe ghweniani?” Bhebhe ndo Eliya? Akajobha, “Nene lepi.” Bhakajobha bhebhe wa niani wa nabii? Ajibili,” 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?
Kisha bhakan'jobhela, “Bhebhe wa niani, ili tubhapelayi lijibu bhabhatutumili”? Ukishuhudilayi wajhobhi?”
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.
Akajobha, “Nene na sauti jha muene jha ajhe nyikani: 'Mujhinyosiajhi njela jha Bwana,' kama nabii Isaya kyaajobhili.”
24 Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
Basi kwajhele ni bhanu bha bhatumibhu pala kuhoma kwa Mafarisayo. Bhakan'kota ni kujobha,
25 And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
“Kwa ndabha jha kiki wibatisya basi kama bhebhe sio Kristu wala Eliya wala nabii?”
26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
Yohana abhajibili akajobha, “Nibatisya kwa masi. Hata efyo, miongoni mwa muenga ijhema munu jhamummanyilepi.
27 He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
Ojho ndo jha ihida baada jha nene. Nene nilondeka lepi ata kuhobhosya mighojhi jha filatu fya muene.”
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
Mambo agha ghabhombiki okhu Bethania, kwiselya ku Yordani, mahali ambapo Yohana ajhele ibatisya.
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.
Ligono lyalafwatili Yohana ambwene Yesu ihida kwa muene akajobha, “Langayi mwanakondoo ghwa K'yara jhaibetakujhitola dhambi jha bhulimwengu!
30 This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
ojho ndo jhanijobheghe habari sya muene, nikajobhili, “Muene jhaibetakuhida kunyuma jha nene ndo mbaha kuliko nene, kwa kujha ajhele kabla jha nene.'
31 And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
Nikammanyilepi muene, lakini jhabhombiki naha ili kwamba afumulibhwayi ku Israeli, kujha nahidili kubatisya kwa masi.”
32 So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
Yohana ashuhudili, “Nabhwene Roho iselela kuh'oma kumbinguni mfuano ghwa hua, najhabakili kunani kwa muene.
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 nammanyilepi lakini muene jhaanitumili ili nibatisiajhi kwa masi anijobhili, 'jhola ambajhe ibetakubhona Roho iselela ni kutama panani pa muene, Ojho ndo ibetakubatisya kwa Roho Mtakatifu.'
34 And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
Nibhuene na nishuhudili kujha ojho ndo Mwana ghwa K'yara.”
35 The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
Kabhele ligono lya lafwatili Yohana ajhemili pamonga ni bhanafunzi bhamuene bhabhele,
36 And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
bhambwene Yesu igenda ni Yohana akajobha, “Langayi, Mwana kondoo ghwa K'yara!”
37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
Bhanafunzi bhabhele bhampeliki Yohana ijobha haya bhakan'kesya 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?
Kabhele Yesu ageuki ni kubhabhona bhanafunzi bhala bhabhele bhakan'kesya, na akabhajobhela, “Mwilonda kiki?” Bhakajibu, “Rabbi, (maana jhiake 'mwalimu,' witama ndaku?”
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.
Akabhajobhela, “Muhidayi na mulotayi.”Kisha bhakalota ni kulola mahali pa atameghe; bhatamili pamonga naku ligono elu kwakujha jha jhele kama saa kumi ivi.
40 Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
Mmonga kati jha bhala bhabhele bhabhamp'eliki Yohana ilongela na kisha kun'kesya Yesu ajhele Andrea, ndongomunu Simoni Petro.
41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
Ambwene ndongomunu Simoni ni kun'jobhela, “Tun'kabhili masihi” (ambajho jhitafsiribhwa Kristu).
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.
Andetili kwa Yesu. Yesu akandanga ni kujobha, “Bhebhe ndo Simoni mwana ghwa Yohana” wibetakutibhwa kefa,” (maana jhiake 'Petro').
43 The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
Ligono lya lyafwatili wakati abhokili kulota Galilaya, an'kabhili Filipo ni kun'jobhela, “Nik'esiajhi nene.”
44 Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
Filipo ajhele mwenyeji wa Bethsaida, mji wa Andrea ni Petro.
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.
Filipo an'kabhili Nathanaeli ni kun'jobhela, Tun'kabhili jhola ambajhe Musa abhwesiti kulamba habari sya muene mun sheria sya manabii. Yesu mwana ghwa Yusufu, kuh'omela ku Nazareti.
46 Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
Nathanaeli akan'jobhela, “Je khenu kinofu kibhwesya kuh'omela Nazareti?” Filipo akan'jobhela, Hidayi na ulolayi.”
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Yesu akambona Nathanaeli ihida kwa muene ni kujobha, “Langayi, Mwisraeli kweli kweli jhaabelikujha ni udesi mugati mwa muene!”
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.
Nathanaeli akan'jobhela, “Unimanyibhuili nene?” Yesu akan'jibu ni kun'jobhela, “Kabla Filipo akukutilepi bho ujhele pasi pa mtini, nikakubhwene.”
49 Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
Nathanaeli akajibu, “Rabi bhebhe u Mwana ghwa K'yara! Bhebhe ndo Mfalme ghwa 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 akan'jibu akan'jobhela, Kwa ndabha nikujobhili nikakubhwene pasi pa libehe lya mtini' je ghwiamini? wibetakulola matendo mabhaha kuliko agha.”
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.
Yesu akajobha, “Muaminiajhi muaminiajhi nikabhajobhela mwibetakusibhona malaika bhikwela ni kuselela panani pa Mwana ghwa Adamu.”
