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.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 God El orala ma nukewa kacl. Wangin kutena ma orekla saya, fin tia ke Kas.
All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
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 men.
5 Kalem el tolak in lohsr, ac lohsr uh kofla konela.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
6 God El supwama mwet fahkak se lal, pangpang John,
There came 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.
The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Tia el pa kalem sac, a el tuku in fahkak ke kalem sac.
He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
9 Pa inge kalem na pwaye — kalem se ma tuku nu faclu ac tolak mwet nukewa.
The true light that enlightens everyone was coming 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, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
11 El tuku nu yen sel sifacna, a mwet lal sifacna tia eisal.
He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t 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 received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in 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 born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of 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.
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.
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. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
16 Liki lungkulang yoklana lal el kalwenina in ase mwe insewowo nu sesr nukewa.
From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
17 God El ase Ma Sap kacl Moses, a kulang ac pwaye tuku kacl Jesus Christ.
For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized 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 seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared 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?”
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 declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “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.”
They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
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.”
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?”
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 crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
24 Na mwet utuk kas ma supweyukla sin mwet Pharisee,
The ones 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?”
They asked him, “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, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
27 El tuku tukuk, tusruktu nga kupansuwol in tulala ah losyen fahluk lal.”
He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
28 Ma inge nukewa sikyak in acn se pangpang Bethany, ma oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan, yen John el orek baptais we.
These things were done in Bethany beyond 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, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, 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 preferred before me, for he was before me.’
31 Nga tuh tiana etu lah su el, tusruktu nga tuku baptaisi mwet ke kof in fahkulak nu sin mwet Israel.”
I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
32 Ac John el fahkak pac ouinge, “Nga sifacna liye ke Ngun oatui oana sie wuleoa inkusrao me, ac oan facl.
John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on 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.’”
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.’
34 Na John el fahk, “Nga liye tari, ac nga fahk nu suwos lah el pa Wen nutin God.”
I have seen and have 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 he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, 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.”)
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?”
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 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.
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 found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, 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.”)
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).
43 Len se tok ah, Jesus el nunkauk elan som nu Galilee. El liyalak Philip ac fahk nu sel, “Fahsru wiyu!”
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said 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 city 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 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.”
46 Na Nathanael el siyuk, “Ya oasr ma wo ku in tuku Nazareth me?” Philip el fahk, “Fahsru ac liye.”
Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said 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 to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom 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 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.”
49 Na Nathanael el fahk, “Mwet Luti, kom Wen nutin God! Kom Tokosra lun Israel!”
Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are 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 him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things 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.”
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.”
