John 1
1 In the beginning the Word was; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God.
Fefeu na, Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan sia memaꞌ ena. Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan, naeni Atahori esa. Atahori naa naꞌabꞌue no Lamatualain. Eni o, Lamatualain boe.
2 He was in the beginning with God;
Leleꞌ lalai no raefafoꞌ nda feꞌe dadꞌi sa, Atahori naa sia memaꞌ no Lamatualain ena.
3 through him all things came into being, and nothing came into being apart from him.
Lamatualain naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ basa-bꞌasaꞌ e, nendiꞌ Dedꞌea-oꞌolan. Nda hambu sudꞌiꞌ a saa esa dadꞌi sa boe, mete ma Atahori naa nda tao sa.
4 That which came into being in him was life; and the life was the light of humanity;
Eni, masodꞌaꞌ a okan. Dadꞌi atahori mana hambu masodꞌa matetuꞌ a, ara rasodꞌa mia E. Ana o onaꞌ Manggareloꞌ mana naronda, fo atahori mana rasodꞌa sia Manggareloꞌ naa, bisa rita ma rahine.
5 and the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness never overpowered it.
Manggareloꞌ naa, naronda tora maꞌahatuꞌ a rala; de maꞌahatuꞌ a nda ai-baa nala Manggareloꞌ naa sa. Huu Manggareloꞌ naa naronda nakandooꞌ a.
6 There appeared a man sent from God, whose name was John;
Naa, hambu atahori laen esa, naran Yohanis. Lamatualain o denu e boe,
7 he came as a witness – to bear witness to the light so that through him everyone might believe.
fo dadꞌi sakasii mana dui-bꞌengga Manggareloꞌ naa neu atahori. Naa fo basa atahori ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ, huu Yohanis oꞌolan.
8 He was not the light, but he came to bear witness to the light.
Yohanis ia, nda Manggareloꞌ naa sa. Te Lamatualain denu e dui-bꞌengga soꞌal Manggareloꞌ naa neu atahori.
9 That was the true light which enlightens everyone coming into the world.
Huu Atahori mana dadꞌi Manggareloꞌ matetuꞌ a, nae nema sia raefafoꞌ ia. Manggareloꞌ naa mana tao dala-dalaꞌ ndoo-tetuꞌ ra nenenitaꞌ soaꞌ neu basa atahori.
10 He was in the world; and through him the world came into being – yet the world did not know him.
Mae Ana tao basa mana sia raefafoꞌ ia ra dadꞌi ena o, te atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia nda rahine E sa, leleꞌ Ana nema leo sia ia.
11 He came to his own – yet his own did not receive him.
Mae Ana nema leo no Eni atahori nara o, te ara nda nau simbo E sa.
12 But to all who did receive him he gave power to become children of God – to those who believe in his name.
Mae onaꞌ naa o, basa atahori mana simbo ma ramahere neu E, Ana fee se hak dadꞌi Lamtualain ana nara.
13 For not to natural conception, nor to human instincts, nor to human will did they owe the new life, but to God.
Naa onaꞌ sira nenebonggi baliꞌ ena. Te sira nenebonggi feuꞌ naa, nda onaꞌ atahori bonggi ana dikiꞌ sa. Ma nda mia touꞌ esa mana hii-nau hambu tititi-nonosiꞌ sa. Te ara dadꞌi Lamatualain ana nara, huu Lamatualain mana fee se masodꞌa feuꞌ naa.
14 And the Word became human, and lived among us, (We saw his glory – the glory of the Only Son sent from the Father), full of love and truth.
Boe ma, ‘Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌola’ naa, nenebonggiꞌ dadꞌi atahori. Ana leo sia taladꞌa tara. Hita mete-tita Eni manaselin. Eni manaseliꞌ onaꞌ naa, huu Eni, Lamatualain Ana isen. Ana hiiꞌ a natudꞌu rala malolen nema nggita, huu memaꞌ Eni ndolu-hadꞌan onaꞌ naa ena. Boe ma basa saa fo Ana nafadꞌe soꞌal Lamatualain, memaꞌ tetebꞌes.
15 (John bears witness to him; he cried aloud – for it was he who spoke – ‘He who is coming after me is now before me, for he was ever first’);
Naa, Yohanis naa, dui-bꞌengga soꞌal Atahori ia. Ana nameli nae, “Rena, e! Eni ia, au dui ena ae, ‘Dei fo Atahori esa nae nema. Eni manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ au. Huu nda feꞌe bonggi au sa te, Ana sia naꞌahuluꞌ ena!’”
16 out of his fullness we have all received gift after gift of love;
Yohanis olaꞌ naꞌo naa, huu Atahori naa hiiꞌ a natudꞌu rala malolen. Boe ma Ana tao nasafafali taꞌo naa nakandooꞌ a soaꞌ neu basa nggita.
17 for the Law was given through Moses, love and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Lele uluꞌ a, baꞌi Musa naꞌondaꞌ Lamatualain Hohoro-lalanen soaꞌ neu bei-baꞌi tara. Te aleꞌ ia, Atahori naa, naeni Yesus Kristus, mana natudꞌu Lamatualain rala ralolen neu nggita. Boe ma basa saa fo Ana nafadꞌe soꞌal Lamatualain, memaꞌ tebꞌe.
18 No one has ever yet seen God; God the only Son, who is ever with the Father – he has revealed him.
Nda hambu atahori esa sa boe mana nita tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Lamatualain. Te Eni Ana ise susuen, mana natudꞌu neu nggita Lamatualain ralan. Anaꞌ naa, sia Aman bobꞌoan. Huu Eni o, Lamatualain boe.
19 When the religious authorities in Jerusalem sent some Priests and Levites to ask John – ‘Who are you?’,
Lao esa, atahori Yahudi ra malangga nara sia Yerusalem denu malangga agama hira ro atahori hira mia suku Lewi mana lole-lau sia Lamatualain Ume Hule-oꞌe Huun. Ara reu sia loe Yarden bobꞌoan de ratane Yohanis mana saraniꞌ a rae, “Ho ia, Kristus fo Lamatualain helu-fuli nae haitua nemaꞌ a, do?” De nafadꞌe se nae, eni ia, seka.
20 he told them clearly and simply, ‘I am not the Christ.’
Ana nataa relo-relo nae, “Hokoꞌ. Au ia, nda Kristus sa.”
21 ‘What then?’ they asked. ‘Are you Elijah?’ ‘No,’ he said, ‘I am not.’ ‘Are you “the prophet”?’ He answered, ‘No.’
Boe ma ratane seluꞌ rae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, ho ia, seka? Baꞌi Elia, do?” Ana nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ boe.” Boe ma ratane fai rae, “Afiꞌ losa ho ia, Lamatualain mana ola-olan laen, do?” Ana nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ boe.”
22 ‘Who then are you?’ they continued. ‘Tell us so that we have an answer to give to those who have sent us. What do you say about yourself?’
Basa naa ma, ara ratane seluꞌ rae, “Naa, mete ma taꞌo naa, ho ia, seka? Mufadꞌe dei! Huu hai musi baliꞌ mii mifadꞌe neu malangga-malangga mana denu hai ra. Tulun dei!”
23 ‘I,’ he answered, ‘am – “The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: make a straight road for the Lord”, as the prophet Isaiah said.’
Boe ma ana olaꞌ tungga saa fo baꞌi Yesaya suraꞌ nita oi, “Au ia, naeni atahori mana nameli sia mamana rouꞌ oi, ‘Basa atahori mihehere tao milole dalaꞌ ra, fo simbo Lamatuaꞌ neneman! Tao mitetu dalaꞌ fo soru E.’”
24 These men had been sent from the Pharisees;
Sia atahori mana rema mia Yerusalem taladꞌa nara, hambu atahori hira mia partei agama Farisi.
25 and their next question was, ‘Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ or Elijah or “the prophet”?’
Basa ma ratane Yohanis rae, “Taꞌo ia. Mete ma ho nda Kristus sa, nda baꞌi Elia sa, ma nda Lamatualain mana ola-olan sa, na, taꞌo bee de sarani atahori? Hambu hak mia bee?”
26 John’s answer was – ‘I baptize with water, but among you stands one whom you do not know;
De Yohanis nataa nae, “Au ia, sarani atahori endiꞌ a oe. Te hambu Atahori esa sia taladꞌa mara ena, te nda mihine sa.
27 he is coming after me, yet I am not worthy even to unfasten his sandal.’
Eni manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ au, mae au unori uꞌuhuluꞌ atahori. Mae dadꞌiꞌ a Eni aten boe o, au nda undandaa sa.”
28 This happened at Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Basa dalaꞌ ia ra dadꞌi sia Betania, sia loe Yarden bobꞌoan. Yohanis no ana mana tungga nara sarani atahori sia naa.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him, and exclaimed, ‘Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Mbilaꞌ neu ma, Yohanis mete nita Yesus laoꞌ nisiꞌ e. Boe ma ana olaꞌ nae, “Mete neu Atahori mana sia naa dei! Eni, Lamatualain Bibꞌi Lombo Anan mana dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ fo tefa-soi atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia sala-kilu nara.
30 I was talking about him when I said “After me there is coming a man who ranks ahead of me, because before I was born he already was.”
Atahori ia, au ufadꞌe neu nggi afis a ena ae, ‘Dei fo Atahori esa nema. Eni manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ au, huu Ana sia naꞌahuluꞌ au ena.’
31 I did not know who he was, but I have come baptizing with water to make him known to Israel.’
Fai maꞌahulun, au nda uhine ae, Eni, Kristus sa. Mae onaꞌ naa o, uhine ena ae au musi fee atahori Israꞌel ra rahine E. Huu naa, au uma fo sarani atahori endiꞌ oe.
32 John also said: ‘I saw the Spirit come down from heaven like a dove and rest on him.
Lamatualain denu au sarani atahori endiꞌ oe. Ana o nafadꞌe au nae, ‘Dei fo Atahori esa nisiꞌ nggo. Basa naa ma, Dula-dale Ngga onda nema leo sia E. Atahori naa, mana nendi Dula-dale Meumare Ngga, fo fee koasa neu atahori Ngga ra.’ Leleꞌ Atahori naa nema, au nda uhine tuteꞌ E sa. Te leleꞌ au ita Lamatualain Dula-dalen onda nema mia lalai a onaꞌ mbui lunda, tee neu E, dei de au uhine E ae, ‘Atahori ia, Eni ena!’
33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me “He on whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him – he it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.”
34 This I have seen myself, and I have declared my belief that he is the Son of God.’
Au ita dalaꞌ naa ra no mata ngga. Basa de au ufadꞌe neu nggi ae, ‘Atahori mana nemaꞌ naa, naeni Lamatualain Anan!’”
35 The next day, when John was standing with two of his disciples,
Mbilaꞌ neu ma, Yohanis nambariiꞌ no ana mana tungga nara, atahori rua.
36 he looked at Jesus as he passed and exclaimed, ‘There is the Lamb of God!’
Leleꞌ Yohanis nita Yesus laoꞌ tungga naa, ana nafadꞌe nae, “Mete dei! Huu Eni ia, Lamatualain Bibꞌi Lombo Anan dei fo mana dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ!”
37 The two disciples heard him say this, and followed Jesus.
Basa ma Yohanis ana mana tungga karua nara mana rena oꞌolan, lao hela e, de reu tungga Yesus.
38 But Jesus turned round, and saw them following. ‘What are you looking for?’ he asked. ‘Rabbi,’ they answered (or, as we should say, “Teacher”), ‘where are you staying?’
Boe ma Yesus heoꞌ dean, ma nita se laoꞌ tungga Eni. Boe ma natane se nae, “Taꞌo bee? Parlu, do?” Ara ratane mbali E rae, “Rabi leo sia bee?” (Sira dedꞌea Aram, ‘Rabi’ sosoan nae, ‘Ama Meser’.)
39 ‘Come, and you will see,’ he replied. So they went, and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four in the afternoon.
Yesus nataa nae, “Ima fo mita neuꞌ ena.” Boe ma ara tungga E, de rita mamana leleon. Leleꞌ ara losa, mbei ma liiꞌ haa boboon ena. De ara rahani ro E losa relo a mopo.
40 One of the two, who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Naa, mia atahori karuaꞌ mana rena Yohanis oꞌolan, ma tungga Yesus naa, esa naran Anderias. Eni, Simon Petrus odin.
41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, ‘We have found the Messiah!’ (a word which means “Christ,” or “Consecrated”.)
Baliꞌ losa-losaꞌ ma Anderias neu sangga aꞌan Simon nae, “We, aꞌa! Hai mindaa mo Mesias ena!” (Sia sira dedꞌean ‘Mesias’ sosoan nae, ‘Kristus, naeni Atahori fo Lamatualain helu-fuli memaꞌ eniꞌ a lele uluꞌ a fo nae haitua nemaꞌ a.’)
42 Then he brought him to Jesus. Looking straight at him, Jesus said, ‘You are Simon, the son of John; you will be called Cephas’ (which means “Peter,” or “Rock”).
Basa ma, ana no aꞌan nisiꞌ Yesus. Boe ma Yesus mete e, de nafadꞌe nae, “Ho ia, Simon. Amam, Yohanis. Mia faiꞌ ia, atahori roꞌe nggo, rae ‘Kefas’” (Eni sosoan onaꞌ ‘Petrus’, naeni ‘fatu’.)
43 The following day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip, and said to him, ‘Follow me.’
Sia naa hambu atahori laen esa, naran Filipus. Eni kambon, Betsaida. Petrus no Anderias o mia naa rema boe. Naa, mbilaꞌ neu ma, Yesus naꞌetuꞌ nae neu sia profinsi Galilea. Boe ma neu nandaa no Filipus, de Ana noꞌe nae, “Uma, tungga Au fo dadꞌi atahori ngga!”
44 Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
45 He found Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and of whom the prophets also wrote – Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph’s son!’
Basa ma Filipus neu sangga Natanel, de nafadꞌe nae, “Aꞌa, e! Hai mindaa mo Atahori fo baꞌi Musa suraꞌ sia Lamatualain Hohoro-lalanen ena. Lamatualain mana ola-olan daluhuluꞌ ra suraꞌ soꞌal Atahori ia boe. Eni naran Yesus, mia kambo Nasaret, ma aman, naran Yusuf.”
46 ‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ asked Nathanael. ‘Come and see,’ replied Philip.
Te Natanel nataa nae, “Atahori Nasaret!? Aweꞌ! Nda hambu dala maloleꞌ esa sa boe, laoꞌ mia naa nema sa, o!” Boe ma Filipus nae, “We! Afiꞌ taꞌo naa. Uma fo mita no matam!”
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said, ‘Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!’
Leleꞌ Natanel laoꞌ nema, Yesus nita e memaꞌ ena, de nae, “Eni ia, atahori ndoos! Huu sia ralan, nda hambu peko-lelekoꞌ sa. Eni atahori Israꞌel tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ!”
48 ‘How do you know me?’ asked Nathanael. ‘Even before Philip called you,’ replied Jesus, ‘when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.’
Natanel natane nae, “Taꞌo bee de Papa nahine au?” Yesus nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia. Au ita nggo ena leleꞌ mia hau naa huun. Leleꞌ naa, Filipus nda feꞌe neu noꞌe nggo sa.”
49 ‘Rabbi,’ Nathanael exclaimed, ‘you are the Son of God, you are king of Israel!’
Boe ma Natanel nataa nae, “Ama Meser ia, tantu Lamatualain Anan! Boe ma Amaꞌ o, tantu hai atahori Israꞌel ra Manem boe!”
50 ‘Do you believe in me,’ asked Jesus, ‘because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than those!
Yesus natane e nae, “Seꞌu te ho ia, mumuhere neu Au, huu faꞌ ra Au ae, ‘Au ita nggo leleꞌ ho mia hau huuꞌ a raeꞌ,’ do? Musunedꞌa, te dei fo bisa mita dala-dala manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ naa fai!
51 In truth I tell you,’ he added, ‘you will all see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.’
Tebꞌe! Au ufadꞌe memaꞌ. Dei fo ama mita lalai a sii. Boe ma Lamatualain ate nara mana sia sorga ra onda-hene sia Au bobꞌoa ngga. Ma Au ia, Atahori Matetuꞌ a.”
