< John 1 >

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Degabodafa, osobo bagade da hame hahamoi galu, amo esoha Gode Sia: dafa da esalu. E (Sia: dafa), amola Gode, da gilisili afadafa fawane esalu. Sia: dafa da Gode defele.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Degabodafa Sia: dafa amola Gode, Ela da gilisili esalu.
3 All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
Sia: dafa da liligi huluanedafa hahamoi dagoi. E da hame hamoi ganiaba, liligi huluanedafa da hame ba: la: loba.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
Sia: dafa da esalusu ea bai galu. Amo esalusu da osobo bagade dunu fifi asi gala ilima hadigi olelei.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
Amo hadigi da gasi ganodini diga: i diala. Amo hadigi da gasiga dedebomu hamedesa.
6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Gode da Ea sia: adole iasu dunu ea dio amo Yone, amo asunasi.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Dunu huluane ilia Gode Ea adosu nababeba: le, dafawaneyale dawa: ma: ne, Yone da hadigi ilima olelema: ne misi.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Yone da Hadigidafa hame galu. E da amo Hadigidafa olelela misi.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Amo hadigi da Hadigidafa. Hadigidafa da dunu huluane amo da osobo bagadega maha, ilima hadigi iaha.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
Sia: dafa da osobo bagade ganodini esalu. Gode da Sia: dafa amoga osobo bagade hahamoi. Be osobo bagade dunu da Sia: dafa hame dawa: i galu.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
E da Ea fidafa dunu ilima misi, be Ea fidafa da Ea hou lalegagumu higasu.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,
Be mogili ilia da Ea hou hanaiba: le, Ea hou lalegagui. Amalalu, ilia da Gode Ea mano hamoma: ne, E da ilima ilegei dagoi.
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Osobo bagade hou hamobeba: le hame, ilia bu lalelegele Gode Ea mano hamoi. Osobo bagade dunu ea hamoiba: le, ilia hame lalelegei, be Gode Hi ilegeiba: le ilia da bu lalelegele, Gode Ea mano hamoi dagoi.
14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Sia: dafa da osobo bagade dunu ea hu lale, ninia osobo bagade fi amo ganodini esalu. Ea hou da hahawane dogolegele iasu amola dafawanedafa hou ba: su. Ea hadigi, amo Gode Egefedafa Ea hadigi defele, ninia ba: i dagoi.
15 John testified about him and shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
Yone da Ea hou olelei. E da ha: giwane wele sia: i, “E da na misi amoga fa: no misi, be Ea hou da na hou baligisa! Na hame lalelegei esoga, E da esalu! Amo dunu Ea hou olelemusa: na sia: i!”
16 For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu hou da nabai bagadewane dialebeba: le, E ninima hahawane bagade iasu. Musa: ninia hahawane ba: i, be wali bu baligiliwane hahawane ba: sa.
17 For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Gode da Mousesema olelebeba: le, Ea Sema ninima iasu. Be Yesu Gelesu da hahawane dogolegele iasu, amola moloidafa hou, ninima olelei dagoi.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
Osobo bagade dunu huluanedafa, da Gode hamedafa ba: su. Be Hina Gode Yesu, Hisu da Godedafa defele. Amola E da Gode dafulili lelebeba: le, Hi fawane da Gode Ea hou olelei dagoi.
19 And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
Yu fi ouligisu dunu Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esalu, ilia da gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai dunu, amo Yone ea hou abodemusa: asunasi. Ilia da Yonema amane adole ba: i, “Di da nowala: ?”
20 And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Christ."
Yone da bu adole imunu hame hihi galu. E da moloiwane olelei, “Na da Mesaia hame!”
21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
Ilia bu adole ba: i, “Amaiba: le, di da nowala: ? Di da Elaidiala: ?” Yone bu adole i, “Hame mabu! “Ilia eno adole ba: i, “Di da Balofede dunudafala: ?” “Hame mabu!” e sia: i.
22 They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
Ilia amane sia: i, “Amaiba: le, di da nowala: , amo ninima adoma. Ninia asunasi dunuma adole iasu gaguli masunu galebe. Dia hou da adi houla: ?”
23 He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
Be Yone bu adole ianoba, e da Aisaia ea sia: dedei olelei, “Na da hafoga: i soge, dunu hame esalebe soge amo ganodini ahoana, amane wele sia: nana, `Hina Gode da noga: iwane masa: ne, Ea logo moloiwane fodoma!’”
24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
Abodemusa: misi dunu (Fa: lisi fi dunu da ili asunasi),
25 And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
ilia da Yonema amane adole ba: i, “Di da Mesaia o Elaidia o Balofede dunu amo hame esalea, di da abuliba: le dunu hanoga fane salala: ?”
26 John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
Yone da bu adole i, “Na da hanoga ba: bodaise hou hamosa. Be dilia gilisisu amo ganodini dunu dilia hame dawa: dunu da lela.
27 He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
E da na misi amoga fa: no maha. Be na da Ea emo salasu efe fadegamu amo defele hame ba: sa.
28 These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Yone da Bedani soge, (Yodane Hano gusu bega: ) amoga hanoga fane salasu hou hamonanoba, amo hou huluane da ba: su.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
Golale hahabe, Yone da Yesu ema manebe ba: i. E amane sia: i, “Dilia ba: ma! Gode Ea Sibi Mano manebe goea. E da osobo bagade wadela: i hou huluane fadegale fasisa.
30 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
Na musa: sia: i, `E da na misi amoga fa: no misi, be Ea hou da na hou baligisa. Na hame lalelegei esoga, E da esalu.’ Na da amo dunu Ea hou olelemusa: , amane sia: i.
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
Na da amo dunu hame dawa: i galu. Be na da amo misunu dunu Ea hou Isala: ili dunuma olelemusa: , hanoga fane salasu hamomusa: misi.”
32 And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
Amalalu, Yone da ilima amane sia: i, “Na da Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala, dafe sio agoane muagado misini, Ea da: i hodo amoga aligila sa: i, ba: i dagoi.
33 And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
Na da amo da Gode Ea ilegei dunu hame dawa: i galu. Be musa: Gode da na hanoga fane salasu hawa: hamoma: ne, asula ahoanoba, E da nama amane olelei, `Di da Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa dunu afadafa amoga aligila dalebe ba: mu. Amo Dunu da Na A: silibu Hadigidafa amoga ba: bodaise hamosa.’
34 And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
Na da amo hou ba: i dagoi. Amola amo dunu da Gode Egefedafa na da dilima sia: sa!”
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
Eso afae aligili, Yone amola ea ado ba: su dunu aduna da gilisili lelu.
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
Lelebeba: le, Yesu da baligili ahoanebe ba: i. Yone e amane sia: i, “Gode Ea Sibi Mano ahoanebe goea.”
37 And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
Amo sia: nababeba: le, ea ado ba: su dunu aduna da Yesuma fa: no bobogei.
38 And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
Yesu da delegili, ela da ema fa: no bobogelalebe ba: loba, elama amane adole ba: i, “Ali da adi hogosala: ?” Ela bu adole ba: i, “La: bai (olelesu)! Dia golasu da habila: ?”
39 He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
E bu adole i, “Ba: la misa!” (Amoha da eso baloga agoane). Amalalu, ela da Yesu E sigi asili, Ea golasu ba: i. Ilia gilisili amo eso ganodini sia: dalu, gasi gadenenewane yolesi.
40 One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Dunu afadafa ea dio amo A: dalu, e da Saimone Bida eya esalu. E da Yone ea sia: nabalu, Yesuma fa: no bobogei.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Christ).
E da ea ola Saimone hogolala ba: beba: le, ema amane sia: i, “Ani da Mesaia (eno sia: Gelesu) ba: i dagoi.”
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated, Peter).
Amalalu, e da Saimone Yesuma oule misi. Yesu da Saimone ba: beba: le, amane sia: i, “Dia dio da Saimone! Di da Yone egefe! Wali Na da dima Sifa: se dio asula.” (Sifa: se dio da Bida dio defele. Amo dawa: loma: ne sia: da `igi’.)
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
Golale hahabe, Yesu da Ga: lili sogega masunu dawa: i galu. E da Filibe ba: beba: le, amane sia: i, “Na baligiga aligila misa.”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
(Filibe ea moilai dio amo Bedesa: ida. Amo moilaiga A: dalu amola Bida esalebe ba: i.)
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
Filibe da hogolala, Nada: na: iele ba: i. E da ema amane sia: i, “Ninia da Dunu amo Ea hou Mousese da Sema buga ganodini dedei, amola balofede dunu, Ea hou dedei, amo dunu ninia ba: i dagoi. E da Yesu, Yousefe egefe. Ea moilai da Na: salede.”
46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
Nada: na: iele da amane sia: i, “Liligi ida: iwane gala da Na: salede moilaiga mahabela: ? Hame mabu!” Be Filibe da bu adole i, “Ba: la misa!”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
Yesu da Nada: na: iele Ema manebe ba: beba: le, ea hou olelemusa: amane sia: i, “Isala: ili dunudafa da manebe goea. Amo dunu da ogogosu hame dawa:”
48 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
Nada: na: iele da Ema amane adole ba: i, “Na hou Dia habodane dawa: bela: ?” Yesu E bu adole i, “Filibe da dima hame misa: ne weloba, Na da di figi ifa ea ougiha esalebe ba: i.”
49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
Nada: na: iele fofogadigili sia: i, “Olelesu! Di da Gode Egefedafa. Di da Isala: ili fi ilima Hina Bagadedafa esala.”
50 Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
Yesu E amane sia: i, “Di da figi ifa ea ougiha esalebe Na ba: i, amo fawane Na sia: beba: le di da Na hou dafawaneyale dawa: bela: ? Amo hou bagadewane baligisu hou di da ba: mu.”
51 And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
E da ilima amane sia: i, “Na da dafawane dilima sia: sa! Dilia da Hebene logo doasibi ba: mu, amola Gode Ea a: igele dunu Gode Egefe amo da: iya, ilia gudu dalebe gado heda: lebe ba: mu.”
