John 1
1 In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.
Qaalay koyro de7ees. Qaalaykka Xoossaara de7ees; he Qaalay Xoossaa.
2 He was in [the] beginning with God.
Koyroppe Qaalay Xoossaara de7ees.
3 All things through Him came into being, and without Him came into being not even one [thing] that has come into being.
Xoossay ubbabaa Qaalaa baggara medhdhis. Medhettidabaappe issoykka iya baggara medhettonabay baawa.
4 In Him life was, and the life was the light of men,
Iyan de7oy de7ees; he de7oy asaas poo7o.
5 And the Light in the darkness shines, and the darkness it not grasped [it].
Poo7oy dhuman poo7ees; dhumay poo7uwa xoonibeenna.
6 There came a man sent from God, [the] name to Him [was] John.
Xoossay kiittida, issi Yohaannisa giya asi de7ees.
7 He came as a witness that he may testify concerning the Light, that all may believe through him.
Asa ubbay poo7uwan ammanana mela I poo7os markka gididi yis.
8 Not was He the Light, but that he may witness concerning the Light.
I poo7uwabaa markkattanaw yisippe attin ba huu7en poo7o gidenna.
9 Was the Light true who enlightens every man coming into the world.
Asa ubbaas poo7isiya tuma poo7oy alamiya yees.
10 In the world He was, and the world through Him came into being, and the world Him not knew.
Qaalay alamen de7is. Xoossay Qaalan alamiya medhdhis, shin alamey iya eribeenna.
11 To [His] own He came, and [His] own Him not received.
I bayssatakko yis, shin iyayssati iya ekkibookkona.
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,
Shin I bana ekkidayssatasinne iya sunthan ammanidayssatas Xoossaa nayta gidana mela maata immis.
13 who not [born] of blood nor [born] of will of flesh nor [born] of will of man but of God were born.
Entti Xoossafe yelettidosonappe attin asi yelettiya wogan woykko adde shenen woykko asa amon yelettibookkona. Xoossay I entta aawa.
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.
Qaalay ase gidis; aadho keehatethaanne tumaa kumidi nu giddon de7is. I aawas issi na7aa gididi ekkida iya bonchchuwa nuuni be7ida.
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.’
Yohaannisi iyabaa markkattis. Ba qaalaa dhoqqu oothidi, “Taani, ‘Taappe guyera yeyssi taappe kase de7iya gisho taappe aadhdhees’ gada markkattidayssi hayssa” yaagis.
16 (For *N+KO) from the fullness of Him we ourselves all have received then grace for grace.
Nuuni ubbay iya aadho keehatethaa kumethaafe anjjo bolla anjjo ekkida.
17 For the law through Moses was given, grace and truth through Jesus Christ came.
Xoossay higgiya Muse baggara immis, shin aadho keehatethaynne tumatethay Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara yis.
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.
Xoossaa be7ida asi oonikka baawa; ba Aawa matan de7iya issi Na7aa xalaali baw Xoosse gididayssi iya qonccisis.
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?
Yerusalaamen de7iya Ayhude halaqati, kahinetanne Leeweta, “Neeni oonee?” gidi, Yohaannisa oychchana mela iyaakko kiittin, Yohaannisi enttaw markkattida markkatethay hayssa.
20 And he confessed and not denied but confessed that I myself not am the Christ.
Yohaannisi, “Taani Kiristtoosa gidikke” yaagidi, geeshshidi markkattisippe attin kaddibeenna.
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.
Entti, “Yaatin, neeni oonee? Neeni Eliyaaseyye?” yaagidi oychchidosona. Yohaannisi, “Akkay gidikke” yaagis. Qassi entti, “Neeni yaana geetettida nabiyayye?” yaagidi oychchidosona. Yohaannisi, “Akkay” gidi zaaris.
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?
Yaatin, “Neeni oonee? Nuuni nuna kiittidayssatas odana mela neeni nena oona gay?” yaagidosona.
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.
Yohaannisi zaaridi, “Nabiya Isayaasi gidayssada, ‘Godaa ogiya suurisite!’ gidi bazzo biittan waassiya uraa qaalay tana” yaagis.
24 And (those *k) sent were out from the Pharisees
Qassi Farisaaweti kiittida asati
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?
Yohaannisakko, “Neeni Kiristtoosa woykko Eliyaasa woykko nabe gidonna ixxiko, yaatin ays xammaqay?” gidi oychchidosona.
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,
Yohaannisi zaaridi, “Taani haathan xammaqays, shin hintte eronna asi hintte giddon eqqis.
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.
I taappe guyera yees. Taani hari attoshin iya caammaa wodoruwa billanaw bessike” yaagis.
28 These things in (Bethany *N+kO) took place across the Jordan where was John baptizing.
Hessi ubbay Yorddaanose Shaafappe hefinthan, Bitaaniya giya biittan, Yohaannisi xammaqiya bessan hanis.
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.
Yohaannisi wonttetha gallas Yesuusi baakko yishin be7idi, “Alamiya nagara quchchiya Xoossaa Dorssay hayssa!
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.
Taani, ‘Taappe guyera issi asi yaana. I taappe kase de7iya gisho taappe aadhdhees’ gada odidayssi hayssa.
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.
I ooneekko taani erikke. Shin Isra7eele asaas iya qonccisanaw haathan xammaqashe yas” yaagis.
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.
Yohaannisi hayssada yaagidi markkattis: “Geeshsha Ayyaanay saloppe holeda wodhdhishininne iyara de7ishin be7as.
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.
Hessi hananaappe kase taani iya erikke. Shin haathan xammaqanaw tana kiittida Xoossay, ‘Geeshsha Ayyaanay wodhdhidi iyara de7ishin neeni be7anaysinne Geeshsha Ayyaanan xammaqanayssi iya’ yaagidi taw odis.
34 And I myself And I myself have seen and have borne witness that this is the (Son *NK+O) of God.
Taani hessi hanishin be7ada, I Xoossaa Na7aa gididayssa markkattays” yaagis.
35 On the next day again had stood John and of the disciples of him two.
Qassi wonttetha gallas Yohaannisi ba tamaaretappe nam77atara issife eqqis.
36 And having looked at Jesus walking he says; Behold the Lamb of God!
Yesuusi aadhdhishin Yohaannisi be7idi, “Xoossaa dorssay haysish!” yaagis.
37 And heard the two disciples of Him [Him] speaking and they followed Jesus.
Yohaannisa nam77u tamaareti Yohaannisi geyssa si7idi Yesuusa kaallidosona.
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?
Yesuusi bana kaalleyssata guye simmi be7idi, “Ay koyeetii?” yaagidi oychchis. Entti zaaridi, “Asttamaariyaw, neeni awun de7ay?” yaagidosona.
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.
Yesuusi enttako, “Haa yidi be7ite” yaagis. Entti bidi I de7iyasuwa be7idosona. He gallas sa7ay tammu saate heera gidiya gisho iya matan pee7idosona.
40 Was Andrew the brother of Simon Peter one of the two which having heard from John and having followed Him.
Yohaannisi gidayssa si7idi, Yesuusa kaallida nam77u tamaaretappe issoy, Simoon Phexiroosa ishaa Inddiriyasa.
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.
Inddiriyasi koyro ba ishaa Simoonara gayttidi, “Nuuni Kiristtoosa demmida” yaagis.
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.
Inddiriyasi Simoona Yesuusakko ehis. Yesuusi Simoona be7idi, “Neeni Yoona na7aa Simoona; ne sunthay Keefa gidi xeegettana” yaagis.
43 On the next day He desired to go forth into Galilee And He finds Philip And says to him Jesus; do follow Me.
Wonttetha gallas Yesuusi Galiila biittaa baanaw qofa qachchis. I Filiphphoosara gayttidi, “Tana kaalla!” yaagis.
44 Was now Philip from Bethsaida, from the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filiphphoosi, Inddiriyasinne Phexiroosi de7ida Beetesayda giya katamaappe yida ase.
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.
Filiphphoosi Natina7eelara gayttidi, “Musey higge maxaafan, qassi nabetikka iyabaa xaafida Yoosefa na7aa Naazirete Yesuusa nuuni demmida” yaagis.
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.
Natina7eeli zaaridi, “Naazirete katamaappe lo77obay keyanaw dandda7ii?” yaagis. Filiphphoosi, “Yada be7a” yaagis.
47 Saw Jesus Nathanael coming to Him and He says concerning him; Behold truly an Israelite in whom deceit not there is.
Natina7eeli baakko yeyssa Yesuusi be7idi, “Geney baynna tuma Isra7eele asi hayssa!” yaagis.
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.
Natina7eeli Yesuusakko, “Neeni tana awun eray?” yaagis. Yesuusi zaaridi, “Filiphphoosi nena xeeganaappe sinthe, neeni balase mithaa garssan de7ishin taani nena be7as” yaagis.
49 Answered to him Nathanael (and says: *k) Rabbi, You yourself are the Son of God, You yourself King are of Israel.
Natina7eeli zaaridi, “Asttamaariyaw, neeni Xoossaa Na7aa! Neeni Isra7eele kawo!” yaagis.
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.
Yesuusi iyaakko, “Taani nena balase mithee garssan be7as gida gisho ammanay? Neeni hayssafe aadhdhiyabaa be7ana!” yaagis.
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.
Qassi Yesuusi, “Taani hinttew tuma odays; saloy dooyettin, Xoossaa kiitanchchoti Asa Na7aa bolla keyishininne wodhdhishin hintte be7ana” yaagis.
