John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Kubhwandelu kwa jhela ni Lilobhi, ni Lilobhi ajhela pamonga ni K'yara, ni lilobhi ajhele K'yara.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
E'le lilobhi, kubhwandelu ajhele pamonga ni K'yara.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Fenu fyoha fyabhombiki kup'etela muene, ni bila muene kujhelepi khenu kimonga kya kikajhele kimalikubhombibhwa.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Mugati mwa muene kwajhele ni bhusima, ni bhusima obhu bhwajhele nuru jha bhanadamu bhoha.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Nuru jing'ara mu ngisi, wala ngisi jhajhisimisi lepi.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Pajhe ni munu jha atumibhu kuh'omela kwa K'yara, ambajhe lihina lya muene akutibhweghe Yohana.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
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 bear witness of that Light.
Yohana ajhelepi nuru jhela, bali ahidili kushuhudila kuhusu nuru jhela.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh 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 world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Ajhele ku dunia ni dunia jhabhombiki kup'etela muene, ni dunia jhammanyi lepi.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Ahidili kwa fenu fya muene, nibharui bha muene bhabelikumpokela.
12 But as many as accepted him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Bali kwa bhala bhingi bhabhampokili, ambabho bhaliamini lihina lya muene, kwa abhu abhapelili haki jha kujha bhana bha K'yara,
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will 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 the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, ( and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
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 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
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 fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
Kwa kujha kuh'omela mu bhutimilifu bhwa muene, tete twebhoha tupokili mebhu kipawa baada jha kipawa.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Kwa kujha sheria jhaletibhu kup'etela Musa. Neema ni kweli fyahidili kup'etela Yesu kristu.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom 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 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask 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; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
Bila kusitasita na abelilepi, bali ajibili, “Nene na Kristu lepi.”
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, 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 unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
Kisha bhakan'jobhela, “Bhebhe wa niani, ili tubhapelayi lijibu bhabhatutumili”? Ukishuhudilayi wajhobhi?”
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
Akajobha, “Nene na sauti jha muene jha ajhe nyikani: 'Mujhinyosiajhi njela jha Bwana,' kama nabii Isaya kyaajobhili.”
24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
Basi kwajhele ni bhanu bha bhatumibhu pala kuhoma kwa Mafarisayo. Bhakan'kota ni kujobha,
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?
“Kwa ndabha jha kiki wibatisya basi kama bhebhe sio Kristu wala Eliya wala nabii?”
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
Yohana abhajibili akajobha, “Nibatisya kwa masi. Hata efyo, miongoni mwa muenga ijhema munu jhamummanyilepi.
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
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 Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Mambo agha ghabhombiki okhu Bethania, kwiselya ku Yordani, mahali ambapo Yohana ajhele ibatisya.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin 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 said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
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 knew him not: but that he should be made manifest 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 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
Yohana ashuhudili, “Nabhwene Roho iselela kuh'oma kumbinguni mfuano ghwa hua, najhabakili kunani kwa muene.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same 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 saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
Nibhuene na nishuhudili kujha ojho ndo Mwana ghwa K'yara.”
35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
Kabhele ligono lya lafwatili Yohana ajhemili pamonga ni bhanafunzi bhamuene bhabhele,
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
bhambwene Yesu igenda ni Yohana akajobha, “Langayi, Mwana kondoo ghwa K'yara!”
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Bhanafunzi bhabhele bhampeliki Yohana ijobha haya bhakan'kesya Yesu.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, ( which is to say, being interpreted, 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 saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
Akabhajobhela, “Muhidayi na mulotayi.”Kisha bhakalota ni kulola mahali pa atameghe; bhatamili pamonga naku ligono elu kwakujha jha jhele kama saa kumi ivi.
40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Mmonga kati jha bhala bhabhele bhabhamp'eliki Yohana ilongela na kisha kun'kesya Yesu ajhele Andrea, ndongomunu Simoni Petro.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
Ambwene ndongomunu Simoni ni kun'jobhela, “Tun'kabhili masihi” (ambajho jhitafsiribhwa Kristu).
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonah: 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 Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
Ligono lya lyafwatili wakati abhokili kulota Galilaya, an'kabhili Filipo ni kun'jobhela, “Nik'esiajhi nene.”
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filipo ajhele mwenyeji wa Bethsaida, mji wa Andrea ni Petro.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
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 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
Nathanaeli akan'jobhela, “Je khenu kinofu kibhwesya kuh'omela Nazareti?” Filipo akan'jobhela, Hidayi na ulolayi.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, 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 saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw 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 saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Nathanaeli akajibu, “Rabi bhebhe u Mwana ghwa K'yara! Bhebhe ndo Mfalme ghwa Israeli”!
50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than 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 saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Yesu akajobha, “Muaminiajhi muaminiajhi nikabhajobhela mwibetakusibhona malaika bhikwela ni kuselela panani pa Mwana ghwa Adamu.”
