Joni 1
1 Ese agafare Ke me'neane, higeno ana Kemo'a Anumzane me'ne, ana Kea e'i Anumzane.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Ese agafarera Agra Anumzane tragoteno mani'neane.
This one was in the beginning with God.
3 Maka'zana Agrake'za tro hu'ne, hagi mago'zana ru kampintira fore osu'ne, makazana Agrake tro hu'ne.
All things were made through him, and without him there was not one thing made that has been made.
4 Agripi asimura me'ne, hagi ana asimumo'a vahe'mofo Masa'e.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 Ana masamo'a hanizana remsa hunetreankino hanizamo'a agateore'ne.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
6 Hagi mago nera Anumzamo huntegeno e'ne, Ana ne'mofo agi'a Joni'e.
There was a man who was sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Ana ne'ma e'neana, Masamofo naneke hanigu e'ne. Ana hanige'za naneke'a nentahiza zamentinti hugahaze.
He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Agra ana masa omani'ne, hanki ana masamofo naneke hu'ama hanigu e'ne.
John was not the light, but came that he might testify about the light.
9 Agra tamage masamo ama mopafi maka vahe remsa huzmentesigu ne-e.
The true light, which gives light to all men, was coming into the world.
10 Ama mopafi Agra mani'ne, hagi Agra'a ama mopa tro hu'ne, hu'neanagi ama mopafi vahe'mo'za Agrira antahi'za ke'za osu'naze.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him.
11 Agra'a vaheku huno e'ne, hianagi Agri vahe'mo'za ovare'naze.
He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.
12 Hianagi iza'zo nevare'za Agri agifima zamentintima nehaza vahe'mokizmia, Agra'a hugnare hige'za Anumzamofo mofavre se'naze.
But to as many as received him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
13 Hagi Anumzamofo mofavrema senazana arera afa zamesitero, vahe avesitero, neve avesitera forera osunazanki, Anumzamo zamazeri fore hu'ne.
These were not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Ana Kemo vahe fore huteno, tagri'ene mani'ne. Agri masazama'a tagra ke'none, magoke ante'nea Ne'mo hanave'ane masa zama'ane Nefantegati e'ne. Asunku zamo'ene tamage kemo'a avite'nea Nere.
The Word became flesh and lived among us. We have seen his glory, glory as of the one and only who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Joni'a huama huno Agriku hu'ne. Agra kezatino amanage hu'ne, nagrama amama nehuana Agriku nehue, nagri namage'ma ne-emo'a, nagrira nagateretfa hu'ne. Na'ankure nagra fore osu'nogeno Agra pusante fore huno mani'neane.
John testified about him and cried out, saying, “This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, for he was before me.'”
16 Higeta tagra ana maka'mota hakare zana Agripi avitenefinti e'nerunkeno, asunku huranteno muse zama'a agumpi agumpi huno neramie.
For from his fullness we have all received grace after grace.
17 Na'ankure kasegea Mosesempi tami'ne. Hagi asunku'zane tamage kea, Jisas Kraisimpi tami'ne.
For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Mopafi vahe'mo'a magore huno Anumzana onketfa hu'ne. Anumzamofo mofavrea magoke mani'neno, Nafa'amofo asumpinka mani'ne, Agra'a Anumzana mani'neno huama hu'ne.
No one has seen God at any time. The one and only God, who is at the side of the Father, he has made him known.
19 Hagi Jiu kva vahe'mo'za, mono kva pristi vahe'ene Livae vahera Jerusalemi kumateti huma zamantage'za Jonina antahigeku vu'za, Kagra azage? hu'za ome antahige'naze.
This is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Antahigageno'a agra huama nehuno vahane osuno, huama huno, Nagra tamazahu nera Kraisi'na omani'noe.
He confessed—he did not deny, but confessed—”I am not the Christ.”
21 Hige'za, hagi azaga mani'nane? Elaijago? hu'za hazageno, a'o, nagra Elaijana omani'noe huno hige'za, kagra kasnampa nero? hu'za antahigageno, agra kezmi nona huno, i'o huno hu'ne.
So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” They said, “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
22 Hagi hurantagetama e'nona vahe ome zamasmisunku nehune. Azaga mani'nane huta kagrikura ome zamasmigahune? Kagragura azage hunka nehane?
Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”
23 Hazageno Agra anage hu'ne, Mago Kezanke ka'ma mopafi mani'neno keza tino, Ramofo ka azeri ante fatgo hiho huno Aisaia kasnampa ne'mo korapa hunte'nea ne' mani'noe. (Ais 40:3.)
He said, “I am a voice, crying in the wilderness: 'Make the way of the Lord straight,' just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
24 Hu'zmantage'za e'naza Farisi vahe'mo'za,
Now some from the Pharisees were sent,
25 zamagra antahige'za, amanage agriku hu'naze, kagra Kraisigafi, Elaijagafi, mago Kasnampa ne'ma omaninenka, nahigenka mono tina fre nezmantane?
and they asked him and said to him, “Why do you baptize then if you are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?”
26 Joni'a kenona zamirera anage hu'ne, nagra amne tintfanteti mono tina frenermantoe. Hu'neanagi tamagri amunompina magora tamagra keta antahita osu'naza ne' oti'ne.
John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water. But among you stands someone you do not know.
27 E'ima Agra nagri nmage'ma esanimofona Agri aga'nona knare osu'noankina katu ofegahue.
He is the one who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”
28 Ana nanekea Betani kumara Jodani timofo asoparega Joni'ma mono tima frenezmanterega antahigazageno zmasami'ne.
These things were done in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Anante kotigeno Jisasi'a agrite egeno negeno, Joni'a amanage hu'ne, keho, Anumzamofo Sipisipi anentara, ama mopafi vahe'mokizmi kumira, Agra eri atregahie!
The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look, there is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 Ama'ne ana nera, Agriku'ma hu'na nagrama kema hu'noana, nagri namge'ma esnia nera, nagrira nagatereno ra agi eri'nea nere, nagra fore osu'nogeno, Agra korapa Agraragisa mani'nea nere.
This is the one of whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is more than me, for he was before me.'
31 Nagra antahi'na ke'na Agrira osu'noanagi, Israeli vahe'mo'za Agrira antahiza keza hanaze hu'na, nagra ena mono tina eme frezmante'noe.
I did not know him, but it was so that he could be revealed to Israel that I came baptizing with water.”
32 Joni'a huama huno amanage hu'ne, Nagra kogeno Avamura maho namamo hiaza huno monafinti eramino Agrite emanige'na ke'noe.
John testified, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it stayed upon him.
33 Nagra ke'na antahi'na Agrira osu'noanagi, mono tima frezmanto huno'ma hunante'nea ne'mo'a anage huno nasmi'ne, kesnankenoma Avamumo'ma monafinkati'ma eramino Agrite'ma emani'nea ne'mo, Agra Ruotge Avamupina mono tina fre zamantegahie hu'ne.
I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, he is the one baptizing in the Holy Spirit.'
34 Nagrani'a kete'na, huama hu'na ama Anumzamofo mofavre hu'na neramasmue.
I have both seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 Anante zupa Joni'a, amage'ma nenta'a disaipoli netrema'ane oti'neno,
Again, the next day, as John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 Jisasi'a ne-egeno Joni'a negeno amanage huno hu'ne, Keho, amu Anumzamofo Sipisipi anentare,
they saw Jesus walking by, and John said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 anage hige'ne, Joni amagema nenta'a disaipol netremoke nentahi'ne, Jisasi amage'anteke vu'na'e.
His two disciples heard him say this and they followed Jesus.
38 Jisasi'a amage'a nevakeno rukrahe huno neznageno, Na'anku nehakra'e? huno znantahigege'ne, Rempi hurami ne'moka inante Kagra nemanine? hu'ne antahigena'e.
Then Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What do you want?” They replied, “Rabbi (which translated means teacher), where are you staying?”
39 Agra anage zanagriku hu'ne, E'netna tanagratani'a emege'o hige'ne, Agrane vuke nemania nonkuma omenege'ne ana zupa Agrane mani'nakeno, 4 kiloki hu'ne.
He said to them, “Come and see.” Then they came and saw where he was staying; they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
40 Hagi nanterana mago'mo Joni hiankema antahiteno Jisasi amage'ma vu'nea nera Endru'e, Saimon Pitana nefu'e.
One of the two who heard John speak and then followed Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 Hagi Endru'a, Jisasima keteno pusante Endru'a nefu Saimoni keno, amanage huno asami'ne. Tagra hago Mesaiana hakreta erifore hu'none. (E'i ana agima eri rukrehe'ma hu'neana Kraisi'e hu'ne.)
He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated is: Christ).
42 Jisasinte Endru'a, Saimonina avreno vu'ne. Vigeno Jisasi'a negeno anage huno asmi'ne, Kagra Saimonige Joni nemofoga mani'nane, kagri kagi'a Sifasi'e hugahaze. (E'i ana agima eri rukrehe'ma hu'neana Pita'e hu'ne.)
He brought him to Jesus, and Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).
43 Mseno kotigeno Jisasi'a Galili vunaku nehuno Filipi ome negeno, Nagri namage anto hu'ne.
The next day, when Jesus wanted to leave to go to Galilee, he found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Hanki Filipi'a Betsaidati ne' Andrune, Pitakiznia rankuma zani'areti nere.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Filipi'a, Natanieli'e nehaza ne' kefore huteno amanage huno asmi'ne, Mosesi'ene kasnampa vahe'mo'zama avontafepima agenke'ama krente'naza Ne'ma, Nazareti kumateti Josefe nemofo Jisasi'e hu'naza nera hago hakreta erifore hu'none, huno asmi'ne.
Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, “He of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, we have found him: Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
46 Natanieli'a anage huno Filipina antahige'ne, Nazaretia knare'zana efore hugahio? Filipi'a anage hu'ne, kagraka'a enka emego.
Nathaniel said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 Natanieli'a Agritega ne-egeno Jisasi'a negeno amanage hu'ne, Keho, tamage Israeli vahere agu'afina havige hu'zana omne'ne!
Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and said about him, “See, a true Israelite, in whom is no deceit!”
48 Natanieli'a Agriku anage hu'ne. Kagra inankna hunka nagrira nage'nane? Jisasi'a ke'nona huno amanage hu'ne, Filipi'a kagi osu'negenka fiki zafa agafafi mani'nanke'na ko kage'noe.
Nathaniel said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Higeno Natanieli'a Agri ke'nona amanage hu'ne, Hurami nere, Kagra fatgo hunka Anumzamofo nemofoga mani'nane. Kagra Israeli vahe'mokizmi Kini nere.
Nathaniel replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 Higeno, Jisasi'a ke'are anage huno asmi'ne, Na'ankure Nagrama hu'na fiki zafa agafafi mani'nanke'na kage'noema huazanku kamentinti nehano? Henka'a agatere'neaza ruzahu'za kagra kegahane.
Jesus replied and said to him, “Because I said to you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than this.”
51 Higeno Jisasi'a mago'ane amanage huno Natanielina asami'ne, Tamagerafa hu'na Nagra kagrira negasamue, kagra negesankeno mona kafamo'a anagisigeno, Anumzamofo ankero zagamo'za, Vahe'mofo Mofavrere mareriza tamiza nehanigenka kegahane.
Then he said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
