John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, (logos) and the Word (logos) was with God, and the Word (logos) was God.
Kiogo sa kale pabile ni neno, ni ywa neno abile pamope ni Nnongo, nga ywa Neno abile Nnongo.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Aywoo, Neno, palyo kinchogo abile pamope ni Nnongo.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Ilebe yoti gatipangilwa petya ywembe, mana ntopo ywembe chalowa pangika kwaa hata kilebe chimo.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Nkati yake ngaubile ukoti, ni wolo ukoti wabile bweya ya bandu boti.
5 And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Bweya yating'ala mulubendo, wala lubendo lwaloweza kwaa kwiima.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Pabile ni mundu ywatumilwe kuoma kwa Nnongo, lina lyake akemelwa Yohana.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
Ywaisile kati shaidi woshuhudia husu yelo bweya, ili bote baweze amini petya ywembe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
Yohana abile kwaa yelo bweya, ila aisile ili shuhudia husu yelo bweya.
9 That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world.
Eyo yabile bweya ya kweli yabile yaisa mu'dunia niyembe yampea bweya kila yumo.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Abile mu'dunia, ni dunia iumbilwe petya ywembe, ni dunia yantangite kwaa.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Aisile kwa ilebe yake, ni bandu bake bampokya kwaa.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Ila kwa balo baingi babampokile, balo baamini lina lyake, kwa balo kabapeya haki ya kuwa bana ba Nnongo.
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Bababelekilwe, kwa mwai kwaa, wala kwa mapenzi ga yega, wala kwa mapenzi ga mundu, ila kwa Nnongo mwene.
14 And the Word (logos) 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.
Ni ywembe Neno apangilwe yega ni tama nkati yitu, tuubweni utukufu wake, kati utukufu wa mundu kichake wa kipekee ywabile kuoma kwa Tate, atwelile neema ni kweli.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Yohana atishuhudia husu ywembe, ni akoiye kwa lilobe kabaya, “Ayoo nga ywembe nimmakiye habari yake nibayite, “Yolo ywaisa baada yango nga nkolo kuliko nenga, kwa maana abile kabla yango.”
16 And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
Kwa mana kuoma mu'utimilifu wake, twenga twaboti, twapoki bure ipawa baada ya ipawa.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Kwa mana saliya yatiisa petya Musa. Neema ni kweli yaisile petya Yesu Kristu.
18 No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
Ntopo mundu ywamwonile Nnongo muda wowoti. Mundu pekee ywabile nga Nnongo, abile mu'kifua sa Tate, apangite ywembe ayowanike.
19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you?
Awoo nga ushuhuda ba Yohana palyo makuhani ni alawi bantumilwe kwake ni Ayahudi kubamwuliza.”Wenga wa nyai?”
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
Bila kusitasita ni kakana kwaa, ila kaayangwa, “Nenga na Kristo kwaa.”
21 And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are you that prophet? And he answered, No.
Eyo kabannokiya, “kwa eyo wenga wanyai? wenga wa Eliya?” Kabaya, “Nenga kwaa” Kababaya, “Wenga wa nabii?” Kayangwa, “Hapana.”
22 Then said they unto him, Who are you? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What say you of yourself?
Boka po kabammakiya, “Wenga wa nyai, ili tubapei jibu balo batutumile?” Kabaujishuhudie kwaa wenga wa mwene?”
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.
Kabaya, “Nenga nga lilobe lyake ywabile mmwitu:'Mwinyoshe ndela ya Ngwana,'kati nabii Isaya abayite.”
24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
Bai pabile ni bandu batumilwe palyo kuoma kwa Mafarisayo. Kabannobiya no baya,
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptize you then, if you be not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?
“Kwa mwanja namani wabatiza bai kati wenga wa Kristo kwaa wala Eliya wala nabii?”
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there stands one among you, whom all of you know not;
Yohana kaayangwa kabaya, “Nabatiza kwa mase, Hata nyoo, nkati yinu atiyema mundu muntangite kwaa.
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
Aywoo nga aisa baada yango, Nenga nastahili kwaa kuilegeza gidamu ya ilatu yake.”
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Makowe aga gapangike Bethania, ng'ambo ya Yordani, pandu Yohana abile atibabatiza bandu.
29 The next day John sees Jesus coming unto him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.
Lisoba lya naibele Yohana amweni Yesu aisa kwake kabaya, “Linga mwana ngondolo wa Nnongo ywaitola sambi ya dunia!
30 This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Aywoo nga ywembe ywa nilongela makowe gake natibaya, “Ywembe ywaisa kunchogo kwango nga nkolo kuliko nenga, kwa mana abile kabla yango.'
31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
Hata nenga nintangite kwaa ywembe, lakini ipangilwe nyoo ili aitambulishe mu'Israeli, naisile kwabatiza kwa mase.”
32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit (pneuma) descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
Yohana atishuhudia, “Namweni Roho kuoma kumaunde mpwano wa ua, ni abile nnani yake.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit (pneuma) descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
Nenga nintangite kwaa lakini ywembe ywanitumile ili niabatize kwa mase anibakiye,'yolo ywabile lola Roho kauluka no tama nnani yake, Aywoo nga aabatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.'
34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
Namweni na kumshuhudia yolo nga Mwana wa Nnongo.”
35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
Kae lisoba lyanaibele Yohana ayemi pamope ni anapunzi bake abele,
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God!
bamweni Yesu katyanga ni Yohana kabaya, “Linga mwana ngondolo wa Nnongo!”
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Anapunzi abele kaban'yowa Yohana kabaya aga kaban'yangwa Yesu.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and says unto them, What seek all of you? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwell you?
Kae Yesu atikelebuka ni kuabona anapunzi balo bakinkengama, ni kabammakiya, “Mwapala namani? Kaban'yangwa, “Rabbi, (maana yake 'mwalimu,' utama kwaako?”
39 He says 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.
Kaabakiya, “Muiche na mubweni, “Boka po kabayenda ni kubona pandu abile akitama, batitama pamope naywembe lisoba lelo, kwa mana ibile kati saa komi.
40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Yumo nkati ya balo abele kaban'yowa Yohana kalongela ni boka po kankengama Yesu abile Andrea, nnuna wake Simoni Petro.
41 He first finds his own brother Simon, and says unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
Amweni nnongo bake Simoni ni kummakiya, “Tumweni masihi” (maana yake Kristo)
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, You are Simon the son of Jona: you shall be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
Atikunneta kwa Yesu. Yesu atikunlola ni kubaya, “Wenga wa Simoni mwana wa Yohana “wakemilwe Kefa,” (maana yake 'Petro')
43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and finds Philip, and says unto him, Follow me.
Lisoba lya isile palyo Yesu kabapala kuboka kuyendya Galilaya, ampatike Filipo no kum'bakiya, “Ngengame nenga.”
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filipo ywabile mwenyeji wa Bethsaida mji wa Andrea ni Petro.
45 Philip finds Nathanael, and says 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 ampatike Nathanaeli ni kummakiya, Tuweni yolo ywaandikilwe habari zake mu saliya ya manabii. Yesu mwana wa Yusufu, kuoma Nazareti.
46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip says unto him, Come and see.
Nathanieli kammakiya, “Je kilebe kinoite chalowa boka Nazareti?” Filipo kammakiya, Uiche ni ubone.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Yesu amweni Nathanieli kaisa kwake nobaya, “Linga, mwisaeli ywa kweli abile kwaa ni ubocho nkati yake!
48 Nathanael says unto him, Whence know you me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.
Nathanieli kammakiya “Unitangite kwaa nenga?” Yesu kayangwa ni kummakiya, “Kabla Filipo akukema kwaa paubile pae ya mtini, natikubona.”
49 Nathanael answered and says unto him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.
Nathanieli kayangwa, “Rabbi wenga wa mwana wa Nnongo! wenga wa mpwalume wa Israeli”!
50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto you, I saw you under the fig tree, believe you? you shall see greater things than these.
Yesu kayangwa ni kummakiya, kwa mana nikumakiye,'natikubona pae ya mtini' je waamini? walowa bona makowe makolo kuliko aga.”
51 And he says unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter all of you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
Yesu kabaya, Amini amini naabakiya mwalowa kubona maunde gayongolilwe, ni kubona malaika kabaoboka ni uluka nnani ya mwana wa Adamu.”
