John 1
1 In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.
Pakutanga wakange aripo Shoko, uye Shoko wakange ana Mwari, uye Shoko wakange ari Mwari.
2 He was in [the] beginning with God.
Iye uyu wakange ana Mwari pakutanga.
3 All things through Him came into being, and without Him came into being not even one [thing] that has come into being.
Zvinhu zvese zvakaitwa naye, uye kunze kwake hakuna kuitwa chinhu chimwe chakaitwa.
4 In Him life was, and the life was the light of men,
Maari maiva neupenyu, uye upenyu hwaiva chiedza chevanhu,
5 And the Light in the darkness shines, and the darkness it not grasped [it].
uye chiedza chinovhenekera murima, asi rima harina kuchigamuchira.
6 There came a man sent from God, [the] name to Him [was] John.
Kwakauya munhu wakatumwa kubva kuna Mwari, zita rake riri Johwani.
7 He came as a witness that he may testify concerning the Light, that all may believe through him.
Iye wakauyira uchapupu, kuti apupure zvechiedza, kuti vese vatende naye.
8 Not was He the Light, but that he may witness concerning the Light.
Iye wakange asiri icho chiedza, asi wakatumwa kuti apupure pamusoro pechiedza.
9 Was the Light true who enlightens every man coming into the world.
Chaiva chiedza chechokwadi, chinovhenekera munhu umwe neumwe anouya panyika.
10 In the world He was, and the world through Him came into being, and the world Him not knew.
Wakange ari munyika, nenyika yakaitwa naye, asi nyika haina kumuziva.
11 To [His] own He came, and [His] own Him not received.
Wakauya kune zvake, asi vake havana kumugamuchira.
12 As many as however received Him, He gave to them authority children of God to be, to those believing in the name of Him,
Asi vese vakamugamuchira, wakavapa kodzero kuti vave vana vaMwari, ivo vanotenda kuzita rake;
13 who not [born] of blood nor [born] of will of flesh nor [born] of will of man but of God were born.
vakaberekwa kwete neropa, kana nechido chenyama, kana nechido chemurume, asi naMwari.
14 And the Word flesh became and He dwelt among us, and we beheld the glory of Him, a glory as of an only begotten from [the] Father, full of grace and truth.
Shoko ndokuzova nyama, akagara pakati pedu, uye takaona kubwinya kwake, kubwinya sekwewakaberekwa umwe ega waBaba, azere nenyasha nechokwadi.
15 John witnesses concerning Him and he has cried out saying; This was He (of whom I was saying; *NK+o) The [One] after me coming precedence over me has, because before me He was.’
Johwani wakapupura pamusoro pake, akadanidzira achiti: Uyu ndiye wandaireva ndichiti: Uyu anouya shure kwangu wakanditangira; nokuti wakange aripo mberi kwangu.
16 (For *N+KO) from the fullness of Him we ourselves all have received then grace for grace.
Nepakuzara kwake isu tese takagamuchira, uye nyasha nenyasha.
17 For the law through Moses was given, grace and truth through Jesus Christ came.
Nokuti murairo wakapiwa naMozisi, nyasha nechokwadi zvakauya naJesu Kristu.
18 God no [one] has seen ever yet; (the *ko) only begotten (God *N+KO) who is being in the bosom of the Father, He has made [Him] known.
Hakuna wakatongoona Mwari; Mwanakomana wakaberekwa umwe ega, ari pachifuva chaBaba, ndiye wakamuzivisa.
19 And this is the testimony of John when sent (to him *no) the Jews from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they may ask him; You yourself who are?
Uye uhu ndihwo uchapupu hwaJohwani, apo VaJudha vakatuma vapristi neVaRevhi kubva kuJerusarema kuti vanomubvunza kuti: Iwe ndiwe ani?
20 And he confessed and not denied but confessed that I myself not am the Christ.
Akabvuma, uye haana kuramba; ndokubvuma achiti: Ini handisi Kristu.
21 And they asked him; What then? You yourself Elijah are And he says; Not I am. The prophet are you yourself? And he answered; No.
Zvino vakamubvunza vachiti: Saka kudini? Iwe uri Erija here? Akati: Handisi. Iwe uri uya muporofita here? Akapindura akati: Kwete.
22 They said therefore to him; Who are you? That an answer we may give to those having sent us; what say you about yourself?
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Ndiwe ani? Kuti tipe mhinduro vatituma; unoti kudini pamusoro pako?
23 He was saying; I myself [am] a voice crying in the wilderness; do make straight the way of [the] Lord; even as said Isaiah the prophet.
Akati: Ini ndini inzwi reanodanidzira murenje: Ruramisai nzira yaIshe; sezvakareva Isaya muporofita.
24 And (those *k) sent were out from the Pharisees
Ava vakange vatumwa vaibva kuVaFarisi.
25 And they asked him and they said to him; Why then baptize you if you yourself not are the Christ (nor *N+kO) Elijah (nor *N+kO) the prophet?
Zvino vakamubvunza, vakati kwaari: Unogobhabhatidzirei, kana iwe usiri Kristu, kana Eria, kana muporofita uya?
26 Answered them John saying; I myself baptize with water; [in the] midst (now *k) of you (he has stood *NK+o) whom you yourselves not know,
Johwani akavapindura, achiti: Ini ndinobhabhatidza nemvura; asi pakati penyu pamire wamusingazivi imwi;
27 (he himself is *k) the [One] after me coming, (who before me has been; *K) of whom not am I myself worthy that I may untie of Him the strap of the sandal.
ndiye anouya shure kwangu, ari mberi kwangu, wandisina kufanira ini kuti ndisunungure rukanda rweshangu yake.
28 These things in (Bethany *N+kO) took place across the Jordan where was John baptizing.
Izvozvi zvakaitika paBhetabhara, mhiri kwaJoridhani, kwaibhabhatidza Johwani.
29 On the next day he sees (John *k) Jesus coming to him and says; Behold the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world.
Ava mangwana Johwani wakaona Jesu achiuya kwaari, akati: Tarirai, Gwayana raMwari, rinobvisa rotakura chivi chenyika.
30 He it is (concerning *N+kO) whom I myself said; After me comes a man who precedence over me has because before me He was.
Uyu ndiye ini wandaitaura nezvake ndichiti: Shure kwangu kunouya murume, wakanditangira, nokuti wakange ariko mberi kwangu.
31 And I myself And I myself not knew Him, but that He may be revealed to Israel, because of this came I myself with water baptizing.
Neni ndakange ndisingamuzivi; asi kuti aziviswe kuna Israeri, nekuda kweizvozvo ini ndakauya ndichibhabhatidza nemvura.
32 And bore witness John saying that I have beheld the Spirit descending (as *N+kO) a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon Him.
Johwani ndokupupura, achiti: Ndakaona Mweya achiburuka kudenga senjiva, akagara pamusoro pake.
33 And I myself And I myself not knew Him, but the [One] having sent me to baptize with water, He to me said; Upon whom maybe you may see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, He is the [One] baptizing with [the] Spirit Holy.
Neni ndakange ndisingamuzivi; asi wakandituma kubhabhatidza nemvura, ndiye wakati kwandiri: Uyo waunoona Mweya achiburukira pamusoro pake nekugara pamusoro pake, ndiye anobhabhatidza neMweya Mutsvene.
34 And I myself And I myself have seen and have borne witness that this is the (Son *NK+O) of God.
Zvino ini ndakaona ndikapupura kuti uyu Mwanakomana waMwari.
35 On the next day again had stood John and of the disciples of him two.
Ava mangwanazve Johwani wakange amire, nevaviri vevadzidzi vake;
36 And having looked at Jesus walking he says; Behold the Lamb of God!
zvino wakatarisa Jesu achifamba-famba, akati: Tarirai Gwayana raMwari.
37 And heard the two disciples of Him [Him] speaking and they followed Jesus.
Vadzidzi vaviri ndokumunzwa achitaura, ndokutevera Jesu.
38 Having turned then Jesus and having beheld them following He says to them; What seek you? And they said to Him; Rabbi which is to say (meaning *N+kO) Teacher — where are You staying?
Zvino Jesu atendeuka wakavaona vachitevera, akati kwavari: Munotsvakei? Vakati kwaari: Rabhi (ndokuti kana zvichishandurwa, Mudzidzisi) munogarepi?
39 He says to them; do come and (you will behold. *N+kO) They went (therefore *NO) and saw where He abides, and with Him they stayed the day that; [The] hour (now *k) was about [the] tenth.
Akati kwavari: Uyai muone. Vakauya vakaona paaigara; ndokugara naye zuva iroro; rakange riri awa rinenge regumi.
40 Was Andrew the brother of Simon Peter one of the two which having heard from John and having followed Him.
Andiriya munin'ina waSimoni Petro waiva umwe wevaviri vakange vazvinzwa naJohwani vakamutevera.
41 Finds he (first *N+kO) the brother [his] own Simon and he says to him; We have found the Messiah, which is being translated Christ.
Iye wakatanga kuwana mukoma wake chaiye Simoni, akati kwaari: Tamuwana Mesiasi; ndiko kuti kana zvichishandurwa, Kristu.
42 (and *k) He led him to Jesus. Having looked at (now *k) him Jesus said; You yourself are Simon the son (of John; *N+KO) You yourself will be called Cephas which means Peter.
Zvino akamuisa kuna Jesu. Jesu ndokuti amutarira akati: Iwe uri Simoni mwanakomana waJona; iwe uchanzi Kefasi (zvinoshandurwa kunzi Petro).
43 On the next day He desired to go forth into Galilee And He finds Philip And says to him Jesus; do follow Me.
Ava mangwana Jesu akada kubudira kuGarirea, ndokuwana Firipi, ndokuti kwaari: Nditevere.
44 Was now Philip from Bethsaida, from the city of Andrew and Peter.
Zvino Firipi wakange ari weBhetisaidha, muguta raAndiriya naPetro.
45 Finds Philip Nathanael and says to him; [Him] whom wrote of Moses in the Law also the prophets, we have found, Jesus son of Joseph of Nazareth.
Firipi akawana Nataniyeri, ndokuti kwaari: Tamuwana Mozisi waakanyora nezvake pamurairo nevaporofita, Jesu weNazareta, mwanakomana waJosefa.
46 And said to him Nathanael; Out of Nazareth is able any good thing to be? Says to him Philip; do come and do see.
Nataniyeri ndokuti kwaari: Chinhu chakanaka chinogona kubva muNazareta here? Firipi akati kwaari: Uya uone.
47 Saw Jesus Nathanael coming to Him and He says concerning him; Behold truly an Israelite in whom deceit not there is.
Jesu wakaona Nataniyeri achiuya kwaari, ndokuti pamusoro pake: Tarira muIsraeri wechokwadi, musina kunyengera maari.
48 Says to Him Nathanael; From where me know You? Answered Jesus and said to him; Before you Philip calling being under the fig tree I saw you.
Nataniyeri akati kwaari: Mandizivirepi? Jesu akapindura, akati kwaari: Firipi asati akudana, pawanga uri munyasi memuonde, ndakuona.
49 Answered to him Nathanael (and says: *k) Rabbi, You yourself are the Son of God, You yourself King are of Israel.
Nataniyeri akapindura ndokuti kwaari: Rabhi, imwi muri Mwanakomana waMwari, imwi muri Mambo waIsraeri.
50 Answered Jesus and said to him; Because I said to you (that *no) I saw you under the fig tree, believe you? Greater things than these You will see.
Jesu akapindura ndokuti kwaari: Unotenda nokuti ndati kwauri: Ndakuona munyasi memuonde. Uchaona zvinhu zvikuru kune izvi.
51 And He says to him; Amen Amen I say to all of you (from now *K) you will behold the heaven having opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
Zvino akati kwaari: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Kubva ikozvino muchaona denga razaruka, nevatumwa vaMwari vachikwira nekuburukira pamusoro peMwanakomana wemunhu.
