John 1
1 Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God.
Aphutna taka han chong alei oma; ma chong ha Pathien kôm aoma, Chong ha ke Pathien ani.
2 The same, was originally, with God.
Aphutna tak renga han chong hah Pathien kôm ke aom ani.
3 All things, through him, came into existence, and, without him, came into existence, not even one thing: that which hath come into existence,
Neinunngei murdi Pathien sin riempet an nia, ama sin loi neinun inkhat luo omak.
4 in him, was, life, and, the life, was, the light of men.—
Ma Chong ha ke ringna bulpui ani, male ma ringna hah munisi ngei minvârpu ani.
5 And, the light, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold.
Ma vâr han ijîng a êlminvâra, ijîng han lei khap thei mak.
6 There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John:
Pathien'n a thangtheipu inkhat a juong tîra, a riming chu John ani,
7 The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him.
ha mi han vâr thurchi mingei min riet ranga juong ani, ama sikin mitinin an iem theina rangin.
8 He, was not the light, —but, that he might bear witness concerning the light,
Ama hah vâr chu nimaka; vâr thurchi mingei min riet ranga juong ani.
9 It, was—The real light that enlighteneth every man—Coming into the world.
Mahi vâr diktak chu ani; rammuola a juonga mingei murdi minvârpu hi.
10 In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not.
Chong hah rammuola aoma, male Pathien'n Chong mangin rammuol ha sin khomsenla, rammuolin lei riet thei maka.
11 Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.
A mingei nanâk kôm a juonga, aniatachu a mingeiin lei modôm mak ngei.
12 But, as many as did receive him, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become, —unto them who were believing on his name:
Hankhoma ama modôm ngei kai le ama iem ngei chu Pathien nâi nina a pêk ngei zoi.
13 Who—not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but—of God, were born.
Ha mingei hah chu thisena inzir nimak ngeia, taksa nuomlama ânzir khom nimak ngeia, munisi ngei pa nuomlama ânzir khom ni uol mak ngei; Pathien ha kêng an Pa ani.
14 And, the Word, became, flesh, and pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory, —a glory, as an Only-begotten from his Father. Full of favour and truth.
Hanchu, Chong hah munisi juong changin, moroina le chongtaka sipin ei lâia a juong om zoi. A roiinpuina ei mua, Pathien Nâikhât roiinpuina a man hah.
15 (John beareth witness concerning him, and hath cried aloud, saying—the same, was he that said—He who, after me, was coming, before me, hath advanced; because, my Chief, was he.)
John'n a chungroi a misîra, ân ieka, Hi mi thurchi hih ki misîr ani, “Ku nûka juong rangpu hi keima nêka lien uol ani, kên zir mâna a lei om sai ani sikin,” a tia.
16 Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour.
A lungkham satvurna akipin ei rêngin ei changa, moroina chunga moroi nôkna.
17 Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence.
Pathien'n Balam chongpêk Moses a pêka, aniatachu moroina le chongtak chu Jisua Khrista sikin ahong om ani.
18 No one, hath seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [him].
Tutên Pathien la mu mak ngeia. A Nâikhât vai, Pathien ân angpui le Pa tienga om ngêt han, a thurchi a min riet zoi.
19 And, this, is the witness of John, when the Jews sent forth unto him, out of Jerusalem, priests and Levites, —that they might question him—Who art, thou?
Jerusalema Juda rachamneipungei han, “John, hah tumo ani?” ti rekel rangin ochaingei le Levi richisuonpârngei an tîra.
20 and he confessed, and did not deny, —and he confessed—I, am not, the Christ;
John'n ânthârtakin, “Messiah chu ni mu-ung” a lei tipe ngeia.
21 and they questioned him—What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith—I am not; The prophet, art, thou? and he answered—No!
“Nônte, Tumo ni ni? Elijah mo ni ni?” tiin an rekela. “Ni mu-ung,” tiin a thuon ngeia. “Dêipu mo ni ni?” tiin an rekela. “Ni mu-ung,” tiin a thuona.
22 So they said unto him—Who, art thou? that, an answer, we may give, unto them who sent us, —What sayest thou, concerning thyself?
“Nônte tumo ni ni? mi hongtîr ngei chong kin mele theina rangin mi ril roh. Nu thurchi hi i angin mo ni ti?” an tia.
23 He said—I, am a Voice, of one crying aloud; —In the desert, make ye straight, the way of the Lord: according as said Isaiah the prophet.
John'n dêipu Isaiah chong mangin a thuona: “Keima hi ramchâra mi inkhat tânghâipu ha ki ni: Pumapa lônna rang lampui mintûn roi!”
24 And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees;
Ma thangtheipungei, Phariseengei hongtîr ngei han John an rekel nôka,
25 and they questioned him, and said unto him—Why, then, dost thou immerse, —if, thou, art not, the Christ, nor Elijah, nor, the Prophet?
hanchu “Messiah ni ni noa, Elijah mo, Dêipu mo luo ni ni nônte ithomo mi na baptis ngâia?” tiin an rekela.
26 John answered them, saying—I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; —
John'n a thuona, “Keiman chu tui leh ka baptis'a, hannirese nin lâia hin nin riet loi mi inkhat ânding chiena.
27 after me, coming: —Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.
Ama hah ku nûka a juong rang ania, kei chu a kekokrûi sût rang luon inhoi mu-ung,” a tia.
28 These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
Mangei hah Bethany khuo nisuo tieng Jordan tuidung râla, John'n a baptisna ngâi muna atung ani.
29 On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith—See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.
Anangtûka chu John'n Jisua a kôm hongin a mua male, “En ta u, Pathien Belrite rammuol sietna pêl rangpu soh,” a tia.
30 This, is he, of whom, I, said—After me, cometh a man, who, before me, hath advanced, because, my Chief, was he.
Hi mi chungroi hih ani, “Mi ku nûka a juong a oma, aniatachu keima nêka lien uol ani, keima kên zir mâna a omsai ani sikin, ki ti hah.
31 And, I, knew him not, but, that he might be manifested unto Israel, therefore, came, I, in water, immersing.
Tumo ani rang riet mu-ung, nikhomsenla, Israel mingei min riet rangin tuia baptis rangin ku juong ani.”
32 And John bare witness, saying—I have gazed upon the Spirit, descending like a dove, out of heaven, —and it abode upon him.
Male John'n hi thurchi hih a misîra: “Ratha hah invân renga juong chumin vasu angin a chunga a juong chum ku mu.
33 And, I, knew him not, —but, he that sent me to immerse in water, he, unto me, said—Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding upon him, the same, is he that immerseth in Holy Spirit.
Atûntena keiman chu la riet thei mu-ung, nikhomrese tuia mi baptis ranga mi tîrpu Pathien'n, Ratha hah invân renga juong chumin mi inkhat chunga chuongin mini mûng na ta; ama hih Ratha Inthienga leh mi baptis rangpu ha ani.”
34 I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness—That, this, is, the, Son of God.
John'n, “Ama hah ku mu zoi, Nangni ki ril, ama hah Pathien Nâipasal ani,” a tia.
35 On the morrow, again, was John standing, and, from among his disciples, two;
Anangtûka chu mahan John ha a ruoisi inik ngei lehan ânding nôka,
36 and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith—See! the Lamb of God!
Jisua lôn lâitak a mu lehan. “En ta u, Pathien Belrite soh!” a tia.
37 and the two disciples hearkened unto him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Ma ruoisi inik ngei han a thurchi misîr an rieta Jisua leh an se kelena.
38 But Jesus, turning, and looking at them following, saith unto them—What seek ye? And, they, said unto him—Rabbi! which meaneth, when translated, Teacher, Where abidest thou?
Jisua ân heia, an hongjûi a mûn chu an kôm, “Khoimo nin rok?” a tipe ngeia. Anni han, “Rabbi, khonmo no om ngâi,” tiin an thuona. (Rabbi ti chu “Minchupu” tina ani).
39 He saith unto them—Be coming, and ye shall see. They came, therefore, and saw where he abode, and, with him, they abode that day. It was about the tenth, hour.
Ama han, “Hong ungla en roi,” tiin a thuona. (ma zora ha chonûktieng dâr minli inring dôr ani.) Masuole chu an jûia a omna an mua, male mani sûna zora kai chu ama leh an mang minhek zoi.
40 One of the two that heard from John and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
An lâia inkhat ha chu Andrew, Simon Peter lâibungpa ani.
41 The same findeth, first, his own brother Simon, and saith unto him—We have found the Messiah! which is, when translated, Anointed.
Ama han a upa Simon a mu kelena a kôm, “Messiah hah kin mu zoi,” a tia. (hi chongbâi aomtie chu “Khrista” tina ani.)
42 He led him unto Jesus. Jesus, looking at him, said—Thou, art Simon, the son of John, —thou, shalt be called, Cephas; which is to be translated, Peter.
Hanchu ama'n Simon hah Jisua kôm a tuonga. Jisua'n Simon hah a lei ena, “Ni riming chu Simon, John nâipasal ni ni, hannirese Kephas, tiin nang koi an ti zoi,” a tia. (Ma hih Peter tina leh munkhat ania, aomtie chu “lungpui” tina ani.)
43 On the morrow, he desired to go forth into Galilee. And Jesus findeth Philip, and saith unto him—Be following me!
Anangtûka chu Jisua Galileea se rangin a masata, Philip a mua, “Ni jûi roh a tipea!”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
(Philip ha Andrew le Peter omna khopui Bethsaida mi ani.)
45 Philip, findeth, Nathanael, and saith unto him—Him, of whom wrote Moses in the law, and the Prophets, have we found.—Jesus, son of Joseph, him from Nazareth!
Philip han Nathanael a mua a kôm, “A thurchi Moses'n Balam lekhabua a lei miziek le dêipungei khomin an miziek Joseph nâipasal Nazareth Jisua hah kin mu zoi,” tiin a rila.
46 And Nathanael said unto him—Out of Nazareth, can any good thing come? Philip saith unto him—Come, and see!
Nathanael'n a kôm, “Nazareth taka neinun sa asuok thei mini?” tiin a rekela. Philip'n a kôm, “Hongin la, en roh,” tiin a thuona.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and saith concerning him—See! Truly, an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Jisua'n Nathanael a kôma hong a mua, a chungroi a misîra, “Ama hi Israel mi diktak; dikloina reng dôn loi ani!” a tia.
48 Nathanael saith unto him—Whence, dost thou, know, me? Jesus answered, and said unto him—Before Philip called thee, —when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
Nathanael'n, “Kho angin mo mi ni riet?” tiin a rekela. Jisua'n a kôm, “Philip'n nang a koi mân theichang kung nuoia no om lâihan nang ku mu zoi,” tiin a thuona.
49 Nathanael answered him—Rabbi! thou, art, the Son of God: Thou, art, King, of Israel.
Nathanael'n a kôm, “Minchupu,” “Pathien Nâipasal ni ni! Israelngei Rêngpa ni ni!” tiin a thuona.
50 Jesus answered, and said unto him—Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? A greater thing than these, shalt thou see!
Jisua'n a tia, “Theichang kung nuoia no om lâia nang ku mu kêng ani zoi nang ki ti sikin ni iem mini? Hi nêka neinun roiinpui uol ok la mûng ni tih!” a tipea.
51 And he saith unto him—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye shall see heaven—when set open, and, the messengers of God, ascending and descending unto the Son of Man.
Male Jisua'n an kôm, “Chongtak nangni ki ril: invân ajuon onga, Miriem Nâipasal chunga vântîrtonngei an juong chum le an kal, la mûng nin tih,” a tia.
