John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Ung'wandyo ai lukoli lukani, nu lukani ai latulaa palung'wi ni Itunda, nu lukani ai latulaa Itunda.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Uyu, u lukani, Ung'wandyo ai watulaa palung'wi ni Itunda.
3 All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
I intu yihi ai itumilwe ku ng'wenso, ni anga ihite kutula ng'wenso kutili ga ni kintu king'wi nai katulaa kitumilwe.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Mukati akwe ai ukoli u upanga, nu uwo upanga ai watulaa welu nu a ana adamu ihi.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
Welu welyaa mu kiti, ang'wi i kiti shanga ukaulimisa.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Ai ukoli u muntu nai ulagiigwe kupuma kung'wa Itunda, niiza ilina ni lakwe ai watulaa Yohana.
7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Ai wazile anga mukuiili kukiila kutula uwo u welu, iti kina ihi ahume kuhuiila kukiila ng'wenso.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
U Yohona shanga ai uwo u welu, ila ai uzile iti wakuiile kutula uwo u welu.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Iyo ai ayulaa welu nua tai naza utuile uzile mu ihi ni nyenso wimuikila welu kila u ng'wi.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
Ai watulaa mihi, ni ihi ai iumbilwe kukiila ng'wenso, ni ihi shanga ai limumanyile.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
Ai uzile ku intu ni akwe, ni antu ni akwe shanga ikamusingiilya.
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:
Ila ku awo ni idu nai amusingiiye, naza alihuiie i lina ni lakwe, ku awo ai uikiiye tai ane ni akutula ana ang'wi Itunda.
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Naza aleilwe shanga ku sakami, ang'wi ku ulowa nua muili, ang'wi ku ulowa nua muntu, ila kung'wi Itunda mukola.
14 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Nu ng'wenso u lukani ai wizipiilye muili hangi akikie mukati itu, ka wihengilee ikulyo ni lakwe, ikulyo anga ni la muntu nu ing'wene nua kinyena nai uzile kupuma kung'wa Tata, wizue ukende nua tai.
15 John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
U Yohana ai ukuiie kutula ung'wenso, nu kitunta ku luli azeligitya, “Uyu yuyoo niza niligitya i nkani niakwe nizeligitya, “Uyo nuzile ze yakilaa unene inge Mukulu kukila unene, kunsoko iiza ukoli ze ikili unene”.
16 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
Kunsoko kupuma mu ukondaniili nu akwe, usese kihi kusingiiye nankanda u uhumi ze yakilaa nia uhumi.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
Kunsoko ilagiilyo ai liletilwe kukiila Musa, u ukende ni tai ai izile kukiila Yesu Kristo.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
Kutili u ng'wana adamu nai umihengile Itunda matungo ihi, muntu wing'wene niiza inge Itunda, nuili mu kikua kang'wa Tata, umizipilye ung'wenso wamanyike.
19 This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
Nu uwu wuwu ukuiili nuang'wa Yohana matungo i Akuhani ni Alawi nai alagiigwe kitalakwe ni Ayahudi kumukolya “uewe inge nyenyu?”.
20 He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
Bila kisinsila hangi shanga ai uhitile, ila ai usukiiye, “Unene shanga Kristo”.
21 They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
Uu gwa akamokolya, “ku lulo uewe inge nyenyu itungili?” Uewe inge Eliya? Akaligitya, “Unene shanga” Akaligitya, uewe inge munyakidagu? Akasukiila “A aa”.
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?”
Uu gwa akamuila, “uewe inge nyenyu iti kina kuinkiilye isusho naza akulaagiye? Ukikuiila uli uewe mukola?”
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.”
Akaligitya, “Unene inge luli nu lakwe nui lilaa muwii, “Migooli i nzila a mukulu! anga munyakidagu Isaya nai uligitilye.”
24 The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
Uu gwa ai akoli ni antu alagiigwe kupuma pang'wanso kupuma ku Afalisayo. Akamukolya nu kuligitya,
25 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
: ku niki ukoja gwa angize uewe shanga wi Kilisto ang'wi Eliya ang'wi munyakidagu?
26 John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
uYohana ai uasukiiye azeligitya: Nukoja ku mazi, Ga ni iti, mukati anyu wimikile muntu ni shanga mumulingile.
27 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
Uyu yuyo nupembilye ze yakilaa unene, Unene ni mugila uhumi nuakutolya i mikoha a ilatu niakwe,
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Makani aya ai atulikile uko ku Bethania, itumbi nila Yordani, kianza naiza uYohani ukoli ukoja.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Luhiku nai lutyatile uYohana akamihenga uYesu upembilye kung'waakwe akaligitya, Goza ung'waa nkolo wang'wa Itunda nuiuhola umulandu nua unkumbigulu!
30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
uyu yuyo naindigitilye inkani niakwe nizeligitya, Nuanso nupembilye kituli kane inge mukulu kukila unene, kunsoko ai watuile zeikili unene,
31 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
Shanga ai numulingile ung'wenso, kuiti aiitulikile nanso kina akunukulwe mukati a Israeli, kina ainzile nikazeoja ku mazi,
32 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
uYohana ai ukuiie, “Ai nihengile uNg'wau Ng'welu ukusima kupuma kilunde mpyani a nkuni nu kusiga migulya akwe.
33 I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’
Unene shanga ai numulingile, kuiti nuanso nai undagiiye iti noje ku mazi ai untambuie, “uyo nize ukihenga Ug'wau Ng'welu ukusima nu kikie migilya akwe, Nuanso yuyo nuojaa ku Ng'wau Ng'walu,
34 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
Nihengaa nu kukuiila kina uyu ige ng'wana wang'wa Itunda,”
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
Hangi luhiku nai lutyatile uYohana aiukoli wimikile nia manyisigwa akwe abiili,
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
ai amihengile uYesu ukugenda nu Yohana akaligitya, “Goza, uNng'waa nkolo nuang'wa Itunda”
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Amanyisigwa abiili ai amigulye uYohana ukuligitya aya akamutyata uYesu.
38 Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
Hangi uYesu ai upilukile nu kuihenga iamanyisigwa awo amutyatile, nu kuaila, “Muloilwe ntuni?” Akamusukiilya, Rabbi, ( ndogoelyo akwe ng'walimu; ) wikiee pii?”
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
Aka atambuila, “pembyi nu kihenga. “Uugwa ai alongoe nu kihenga i kianza nai wikiee; akikie palung'wi nu ng'wenso u luhiku nulanso, kunsoko aiyatulaa yapikiila saa ikumi iti.
40 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Ung'wi nua awo ni abiili nai amigulye uYohana ukutambula ni uugwa kumutyata uYesu ai utuile inge Andrea, muluna akwe uSimoni Petro.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
Akamihenga muluna akwe uSimioni nu kumutambuila,”Kamulijaa uMasihi” (niiza impyanigwe Kristo).
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter).
Akamuleta kung'wa Yesu. uYesu akamugoza nu kuligitya, Uewe wi Simioni ng'wana wang'wa Yohana” wikitangwa Kefa” ( ndogoelyo akwe 'Ptro')
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
Luhiku nai lutyatile itungo uYesu nai wahia kuhega kulongola kuGalilaya, ai umuligilye uFilipo nu kumuila, “Ntyate unene.”
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
uFilipo aiwatulaa mukola ihi nua kuBethasaida, kisali kang'wa Adrea nu Petro.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
uFilipo ai umuligilye uNathanaeli nu kumuila, Kamulijaa uyo naiza uMusa ukilisilye inkani niakwe mu malagiilyo nu Unyakidagu, Yesu ng'wana awng'wa Yusufu, kupuma kuNazareti.
46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
uNathanaeli akamuila, ''Itii kintu ni kiziza kihumile kupembelya kuNazareti?” uFilipo akamuila, “Nzuu nu kihenga.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
uYesu akaamihenga uNathanaeli upembilye kung'waakwe nu kuligitya, “Goza uMuisraeli tai taai ni mugila u ukongelwa mukati akwe”
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.”
uNathanaeli akamuila, “Uningile kinyauli unene?” uYesu akamusukiilya nu kumuila, Aza ikili uFilipo kuitanga naza ukoli pihi pi ikota, aza nakihengaa.”
49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
uNahanaeli akasukiilya, “Rabi uewe wi Ng'wana wang'wa Itunda Uewe wi Mutemi nua Israeli”
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!”
uYesu akasukiilya akamuila, Kunsoko nukuiie aza 'nukihengile pihi i kota' itii wahuiila? ukihenga ntendo nkulu kukila izi.”
51 He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
uYesu akaligitya, “Huiili huiili kumuili mikihenga ilunde likuluguka, nu kuihenga iamalaika akunankila nu kusima migulya a Ng'wana wang'wa Adamu.”
