John 1
1 Meet liki orekla faclu, Kas el nuna oasr yurin God, ac el oapana God.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Kas se inge el oasr yurin God meet liki mutaweyen faclu.
He Himself existed in the beginning with God.
3 God El orala ma nukewa kacl. Wangin kutena ma orekla saya, fin tia ke Kas.
All things came to be by Him; that is, apart from Him not even one thing that has come into being came to be.
4 Moul uh tuku liki Kas, ac moul se inge pa ase kalem nu sin mwet uh.
In Him was life, and the Life was the Light of mankind.
5 Kalem el tolak in lohsr, ac lohsr uh kofla konela.
Now the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 God El supwama mwet fahkak se lal, pangpang John,
There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 su tuku in fahkak nu sin mwet uh ke kalem sac, tuh mwet nukewa in lohng mwe fahk se inge ac lulalfongi.
This man came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
8 Tia el pa kalem sac, a el tuku in fahkak ke kalem sac.
He himself was not the Light but was to testify about the Light—
9 Pa inge kalem na pwaye — kalem se ma tuku nu faclu ac tolak mwet nukewa.
the true Light which illumines everyone who comes into the world.
10 Kas el nuna oasr faclu, ac God El nwe orala faclu kacl, a faclu tiana akilenul.
He was in the world, the world that came into being by Him, yet the world did not know Him.
11 El tuku nu yen sel sifacna, a mwet lal sifacna tia eisal.
He came to His own things, yet His own people did not receive Him.
12 Tusruktu, oasr kutu sin mwet uh eisal ac lulalfongi in el; ke ma inge el oru tuh elos in ku in ekla tulik nutin God.
But, as many as did receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe into His name:
13 Elos tia ekla tulik nutin God ke inkanek in isusla lun mwet, ku ke lungse lun mwet, a ke oakwuk lun God.
who were begotten, not by blood, nor by the desire of the flesh, nor by the will of a man, but by God.
14 Kas el ekla mwet ac muta inmasrlosr, sessesla ke kulang ac pwaye. Kut liye wolana lal, wolana su el eis ke sripen el Wen sefanna nutin Papa.
So the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we observed His glory, glory of an Only-begotten, from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 John el kaskas kacl. El wowoyak ac fahk, “Pa inge el su nga tuh kaskas kac ke nga fahk, ‘El tuku tukuk, tusruktu el fulat likiyu, mweyen el nuna oasr meet liki nga tuh isusla.’”
John testified about Him and called out saying: “This is He of whom I said, ‘The One coming after me is now ahead of me, because He existed before I did.’”
16 Liki lungkulang yoklana lal el kalwenina in ase mwe insewowo nu sesr nukewa.
Now we have all received from His fullness, yes, grace upon grace.
17 God El ase Ma Sap kacl Moses, a kulang ac pwaye tuku kacl Jesus Christ.
Because the Law was given through Moses; the Grace and the Truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Wangin sie mwet na liye God, a wen sefanna natul, su oana God ac muta sisken Papa pacl nukewa, el pa arulana fahkulak kalem nu sin mwet uh.
No one has ever seen God. The Only-begotten Son, who exists in the bosom of the Father, He has interpreted Him.
19 Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew in Jerusalem supwala kutu mwet tol ac mwet Levi nu yorol John in tuh siyuk sel, “Su kom an?”
Now this is John's testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 John el tia srunga topuk, ac el fahk lemtulauk, “Tia nga pa Christ.”
He confessed, he did not deny but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
21 Elos siyuk, “Na fin ouingan, su kom an? Kom pa Elijah?” John el topuk, “Mo, tia nga pa el.” Elos siyuk, “Kom pa Mwet Palu sac?” El topuk, “Mo.”
So they asked him, “What then, are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you ‘the Prophet’?” “No,” he answered.
22 Elos fahk, “Na fahk nu sesr lah su kom an. Mea kom ac fahk keim sifacna? Enenu kut in us sie top folokla nu yorolos su supwekutme.”
So 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 John el topuk ke kas ma mwet palu Isaiah el simusla: “Nga pa ‘pusren sie su wowoyak yen mwesis: Oru sie innek suwohs nu sin Leum elan fahsr kac!’”
He said, “I am ‘the voice of one calling out: “Make the Lord's road straight in the wilderness,”’ just as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 Na mwet utuk kas ma supweyukla sin mwet Pharisee,
Now those who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
25 elos siyuk sel, “Fin tia kom pa Christ ku Elijah ku Mwet Palu sac, efu ku kom baptaisi mwet uh?”
So they asked him saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor ‘the Prophet’?”
26 John el topuk ac fahk, “Nga baptais ke kof, tusruktu oasr sie su muta inmasrlowos su kowos tiana akilen.
John answered them saying: “I baptize with water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.
27 El tuku tukuk, tusruktu nga kupansuwol in tulala ah losyen fahluk lal.”
He is the One coming after me who is now ahead of me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.”
28 Ma inge nukewa sikyak in acn se pangpang Bethany, ma oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan, yen John el orek baptais we.
These things happened in Bithabara, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Len se toko ah, John el liyalak Jesus ke el tuku nu yorol, ac el fahk, “Liye, Lamb nutin God pa ingo, su eela ma koluk lun faclu!
The next day John sees Jesus coming toward him and says: “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
30 Pa inge el su nga tuh kaskas kac ke nga fahk, ‘Mwet se ac tuku tukuk, tusruktu el fulat likiyu, mweyen el nuna oasr meet liki nga tuh isusla.’
This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is now ahead of me, because He existed before I did.’
31 Nga tuh tiana etu lah su el, tusruktu nga tuku baptaisi mwet ke kof in fahkulak nu sin mwet Israel.”
I did not know Him; but so that He should be revealed to Israel, that is why I came baptizing with water.”
32 Ac John el fahkak pac ouinge, “Nga sifacna liye ke Ngun oatui oana sie wuleoa inkusrao me, ac oan facl.
And John testified saying: “I observed the Spirit coming down like a dove out of heaven, and He rested upon Him.
33 Nga srakna tia etu lah el pa mwet sac, a God, su supweyume in baptais ke kof, El fahk nu sik, ‘Kom fah liye Ngun oatui ac oan fin sie mwet. El pa mwet se ma ac baptais ke Ngun Mutal.’”
Now I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, ‘The One upon whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting—this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 Na John el fahk, “Nga liye tari, ac nga fahk nu suwos lah el pa Wen nutin God.”
So I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 In len se toko ah, John el sifilpa tu insac, wi luo sin mwet tuma lutlut lal.
Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples.
36 El liye ke Jesus el fahsryak, na John el fahk, “Pa ingo Lamb nutin God!”
And seeing Jesus walking by, he says, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 Mwet lutlut luo lal eltal lohng ke el fahk ouinge, na eltal fahsr tokol Jesus.
The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Jesus el tapulla ac liye lah eltal fahsr tokol, ac el siyuk, “Mea komtal suk an?” Na eltal topuk, “Rabbi, kom muta oya?” (Kalmen Rabbi pa “Mwet luti.”)
So turning and observing them following Jesus says to them, “What do you want?” So they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which translated means ‘Teacher’), “where are You staying?”
39 Jesus el topuk, “Fahsru liye.” (In pacl sac ac ao akosr ma ke tafun len tok.) Ouinge eltal welul som ac liye yen el muta we, ac mutana yorol nwe ke ekela.
He says to them, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where He was staying, and stayed with Him that day—it was about the tenth hour.
40 Sie seltal pa Andrew, ma lel Simon Peter.
One of the two who heard John and followed Him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 El sa na konalak Simon, ma lel, ac fahkang nu sel, “Kut konalak Messiah.” (Kalmen kas se inge pa “Christ.”)
He first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated ‘Christ’).
42 Na el pwanulla Simon nu yurin Jesus. Jesus el ngetang nu sel ac fahk, “Kom pa Simon wen natul John, tusruktu ac fah pangpang kom Cephas.” (Ine se inge oapana Peter, ac kalmac pa “eot.”)
And he led him to Jesus. Looking at him Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you will be called Cephas” (which is translated ‘Stone’).
43 Len se tok ah, Jesus el nunkauk elan som nu Galilee. El liyalak Philip ac fahk nu sel, “Fahsru wiyu!”
The next day He decided to go to Galilee, so He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow me.”
44 (Philip el mwet Bethsaida, siti se na ma Andrew ac Peter muta pac we.)
(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.)
45 Philip el konalak Nathanael ac fahk nu sel, “Kut konauk mwet se ma Moses el sim kacl in book in Ma Sap, oayapa su mwet palu simusla kacl. El pa Jesus, wen natul Joseph, mwet Nazareth.”
Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found the One of whom Moses in the Law—and also the prophets—wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph, from Natsareth.”
46 Na Nathanael el siyuk, “Ya oasr ma wo ku in tuku Nazareth me?” Philip el fahk, “Fahsru ac liye.”
So Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Natsareth?” Philip says to him, “Come and see!”
47 Ke Jesus el liyal Nathanael lah el fahsr nu yorol, el kaskas kacl ac fahk, “Mwet Israel na pwaye se pa inge. Wangin ma sufal in el!”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and says about him, “There, a genuine Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”
48 Nathanael el siyuk sel, “Kom ku eteyu?” Ac Jesus el fahk, “Nga liye kom ke kom muta ye sak fig soko, meet liki Philip el pangon kom ah.”
Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Na Nathanael el fahk, “Mwet Luti, kom Wen nutin God! Kom Tokosra lun Israel!”
In answer Nathanael says to Him: “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Ya kom lulalfongi mweyen na nga fahkot lah nga liye kom ye sak fig soko ah? Kom ac fah liye ma yohk liki ma inge!”
Jesus answered and said to him: “You believe because I said that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater than these.”
51 Ac el fahk nu selos, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu suwos: kowos ac fah liye kusrao ikakelik, ac lipufan lun God sowak ac oatui nu fin Wen nutin Mwet.”
And He says to him, “I tell you (pl) most assuredly, later on you will see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of the Man.”
