Yohaannisa 1
1 Qaalay koyro de7ees. Qaalaykka Xoossaara de7ees; he Qaalay Xoossaa.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Koyroppe Qaalay Xoossaara de7ees.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 Xoossay ubbabaa Qaalaa baggara medhdhis. Medhettidabaappe issoykka iya baggara medhettonabay baawa.
All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
4 Iyan de7oy de7ees; he de7oy asaas poo7o.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 Poo7oy dhuman poo7ees; dhumay poo7uwa xoonibeenna.
And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
6 Xoossay kiittida, issi Yohaannisa giya asi de7ees.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Asa ubbay poo7uwan ammanana mela I poo7os markka gididi yis.
The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.
8 I poo7uwabaa markkattanaw yisippe attin ba huu7en poo7o gidenna.
He was not the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light.
9 Asa ubbaas poo7isiya tuma poo7oy alamiya yees.
There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, coming into the world.
10 Qaalay alamen de7is. Xoossay Qaalan alamiya medhdhis, shin alamey iya eribeenna.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 I bayssatakko yis, shin iyayssati iya ekkibookkona.
He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.
12 Shin I bana ekkidayssatasinne iya sunthan ammanidayssatas Xoossaa nayta gidana mela maata immis.
But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
13 Entti Xoossafe yelettidosonappe attin asi yelettiya wogan woykko adde shenen woykko asa amon yelettibookkona. Xoossay I entta aawa.
which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Qaalay ase gidis; aadho keehatethaanne tumaa kumidi nu giddon de7is. I aawas issi na7aa gididi ekkida iya bonchchuwa nuuni be7ida.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
15 Yohaannisi iyabaa markkattis. Ba qaalaa dhoqqu oothidi, “Taani, ‘Taappe guyera yeyssi taappe kase de7iya gisho taappe aadhdhees’ gada markkattidayssi hayssa” yaagis.
John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.
16 Nuuni ubbay iya aadho keehatethaa kumethaafe anjjo bolla anjjo ekkida.
For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.
17 Xoossay higgiya Muse baggara immis, shin aadho keehatethaynne tumatethay Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara yis.
For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 Xoossaa be7ida asi oonikka baawa; ba Aawa matan de7iya issi Na7aa xalaali baw Xoosse gididayssi iya qonccisis.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
19 Yerusalaamen de7iya Ayhude halaqati, kahinetanne Leeweta, “Neeni oonee?” gidi, Yohaannisa oychchana mela iyaakko kiittin, Yohaannisi enttaw markkattida markkatethay hayssa.
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?
20 Yohaannisi, “Taani Kiristtoosa gidikke” yaagidi, geeshshidi markkattisippe attin kaddibeenna.
And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 Entti, “Yaatin, neeni oonee? Neeni Eliyaaseyye?” yaagidi oychchidosona. Yohaannisi, “Akkay gidikke” yaagis. Qassi entti, “Neeni yaana geetettida nabiyayye?” yaagidi oychchidosona. Yohaannisi, “Akkay” gidi zaaris.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Yaatin, “Neeni oonee? Nuuni nuna kiittidayssatas odana mela neeni nena oona gay?” yaagidosona.
They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 Yohaannisi zaaridi, “Nabiya Isayaasi gidayssada, ‘Godaa ogiya suurisite!’ gidi bazzo biittan waassiya uraa qaalay tana” yaagis.
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 Qassi Farisaaweti kiittida asati
And they had been sent from the Pharisees.
25 Yohaannisakko, “Neeni Kiristtoosa woykko Eliyaasa woykko nabe gidonna ixxiko, yaatin ays xammaqay?” gidi oychchidosona.
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?
26 Yohaannisi zaaridi, “Taani haathan xammaqays, shin hintte eronna asi hintte giddon eqqis.
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,
27 I taappe guyera yees. Taani hari attoshin iya caammaa wodoruwa billanaw bessike” yaagis.
[even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.
28 Hessi ubbay Yorddaanose Shaafappe hefinthan, Bitaaniya giya biittan, Yohaannisi xammaqiya bessan hanis.
These things were done in Bethany beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Yohaannisi wonttetha gallas Yesuusi baakko yishin be7idi, “Alamiya nagara quchchiya Xoossaa Dorssay hayssa!
On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world!
30 Taani, ‘Taappe guyera issi asi yaana. I taappe kase de7iya gisho taappe aadhdhees’ gada odidayssi hayssa.
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is become before me: for he was before me.
31 I ooneekko taani erikke. Shin Isra7eele asaas iya qonccisanaw haathan xammaqashe yas” yaagis.
And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing with water.
32 Yohaannisi hayssada yaagidi markkattis: “Geeshsha Ayyaanay saloppe holeda wodhdhishininne iyara de7ishin be7as.
And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.
33 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.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.
34 Taani hessi hanishin be7ada, I Xoossaa Na7aa gididayssa markkattays” yaagis.
And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.
35 Qassi wonttetha gallas Yohaannisi ba tamaaretappe nam77atara issife eqqis.
Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;
36 Yesuusi aadhdhishin Yohaannisi be7idi, “Xoossaa dorssay haysish!” yaagis.
and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
37 Yohaannisa nam77u tamaareti Yohaannisi geyssa si7idi Yesuusa kaallidosona.
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Yesuusi bana kaalleyssata guye simmi be7idi, “Ay koyeetii?” yaagidi oychchis. Entti zaaridi, “Asttamaariyaw, neeni awun de7ay?” yaagidosona.
And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), where abidest thou?
39 Yesuusi enttako, “Haa yidi be7ite” yaagis. Entti bidi I de7iyasuwa be7idosona. He gallas sa7ay tammu saate heera gidiya gisho iya matan pee7idosona.
He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour.
40 Yohaannisi gidayssa si7idi, Yesuusa kaallida nam77u tamaaretappe issoy, Simoon Phexiroosa ishaa Inddiriyasa.
One of the two that heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 Inddiriyasi koyro ba ishaa Simoonara gayttidi, “Nuuni Kiristtoosa demmida” yaagis.
He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
42 Inddiriyasi Simoona Yesuusakko ehis. Yesuusi Simoona be7idi, “Neeni Yoona na7aa Simoona; ne sunthay Keefa gidi xeegettana” yaagis.
He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).
43 Wonttetha gallas Yesuusi Galiila biittaa baanaw qofa qachchis. I Filiphphoosara gayttidi, “Tana kaalla!” yaagis.
On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.
44 Filiphphoosi, Inddiriyasinne Phexiroosi de7ida Beetesayda giya katamaappe yida ase.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Filiphphoosi Natina7eelara gayttidi, “Musey higge maxaafan, qassi nabetikka iyabaa xaafida Yoosefa na7aa Naazirete Yesuusa nuuni demmida” yaagis.
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 Natina7eeli zaaridi, “Naazirete katamaappe lo77obay keyanaw dandda7ii?” yaagis. Filiphphoosi, “Yada be7a” yaagis.
And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47 Natina7eeli baakko yeyssa Yesuusi be7idi, “Geney baynna tuma Isra7eele asi hayssa!” yaagis.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 Natina7eeli Yesuusakko, “Neeni tana awun eray?” yaagis. Yesuusi zaaridi, “Filiphphoosi nena xeeganaappe sinthe, neeni balase mithaa garssan de7ishin taani nena be7as” yaagis.
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Natina7eeli zaaridi, “Asttamaariyaw, neeni Xoossaa Na7aa! Neeni Isra7eele kawo!” yaagis.
Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel.
50 Yesuusi iyaakko, “Taani nena balase mithee garssan be7as gida gisho ammanay? Neeni hayssafe aadhdhiyabaa be7ana!” yaagis.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 Qassi Yesuusi, “Taani hinttew tuma odays; saloy dooyettin, Xoossaa kiitanchchoti Asa Na7aa bolla keyishininne wodhdhishin hintte be7ana” yaagis.
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
