Yokaana 1
1 Kigambo yaliwo ng’ensi tennatondebwa. Kigambo yali ne Katonda, era Kigambo yali Katonda.
In the beginnynge was the worde and the worde was with God: and the worde was God.
2 Oyo, okuva ku lubereberye yaliwo ne Katonda.
The same was in the beginnynge with God.
3 Ebintu byonna byatondebwa ku lulwe, era tewaliiwo kintu na kimu ekyatondebwa nga taliiwo.
All thinges were made by it and with out it was made nothinge that was made.
4 Mu ye mwe mwali obulamu; era obulamu buno ne buba ekitangaala eri abantu.
In it was lyfe and the lyfe was ye lyght of men
5 Omusana ne gwaka mu kizikiza, naye ekizikiza tekyaguyinza.
and the lyght shyneth in the darcknes but the darcknes comprehended it not.
6 Ne walabika omuntu ng’ayitibwa Yokaana, Katonda gwe yatuma,
There was a man sent from God whose name was Iohn.
7 eyajja okutegeeza abantu ebifa ku musana, bonna bakkirize nga bayita mu ye.
The same cam as a witnes to beare witnes of the lyght that all men through him myght beleve.
8 Yokaana si ye yali Omusana, wabula ye yatumibwa ategeeze eby’Omusana.
He was not that lyght: but to beare witnes of the lyght.
9 Kristo ye yali Omusana, omusana ogw’amazima, ogujja mu nsi, okwakira buli muntu.
That was a true lyght which lyghteth all men that come into the worlde.
10 Kyokka newaakubadde Kigambo oyo ye yatonda ensi, bwe yajja mu nsi, ensi teyamutegeera.
He was in ye worlde and the worlde was made by him: and yet the worlde knewe him not.
11 Yajja eri abantu be, naye abantu be ne batamusembeza.
He cam amonge his (awne) and his awne receaved him not.
12 Naye bonna abaamusembeza, yabawa obuyinza okufuuka abaana ba Katonda; be bo abakkiriza erinnya lye.
But as meny as receaved him to them he gave power to be the sonnes of God in yt they beleved on his name:
13 Abataazaalibwa musaayi, oba okwagala kw’omubiri, wadde okwagala kw’omuntu, naye abaazaalibwa okwagala kwa Katonda.
which were borne not of bloude nor of the will of the flesshe nor yet of the will of man: but of God.
14 Kigambo n’afuuka omubiri, n’abeera mu ffe, ne tulaba ekitiibwa kye, ng’eky’oyo omu yekka eyava eri kitaffe ng’ajjudde ekisa n’amazima.
And the worde was made flesshe and dwelt amonge vs and we sawe the glory of it as the glory of the only begotten sonne of ye father which worde was full of grace and verite.
15 Yokaana Omubatiza yamwogerako, ng’alangirira nti, “Ono ye oyo gwe nayogerako nti, ‘Waliwo ajja emabega wange, eyansoka okubaawo, kubanga yaliwo nga sinnabaawo.’”
Iohn bare witnes of him and cryed sayinge: This was he of whome I spake he that cometh after me was before me because he was yer then I.
16 Ku kujjula kwe ffenna kwe twagabana ekisa ekisukiridde ekisa.
And of his fulnes have all we receaved even (grace) for grace.
17 Amateeka gaatuweebwa nga gayita mu Musa, naye Yesu Kristo ye yaaleeta ekisa n’amazima.
For the lawe was geven by Moses but grace and truthe came by Iesus Christ.
18 Tewali n’omu eyali alabye ku Katonda, okuggyako Omwana we omu yekka, abeera mu kifuba kya kitaffe, oyo ye yatutegeeza byonna ebimufaako.
No ma hath sene God at eny tyme. The only begotte sonne which is in ye bosome of ye father he hath declared him.
19 Bino bye bigambo Yokaana Omubatiza bye yategeeza abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya bwe baamutumira bakabona n’Abaleevi okuva mu Yerusaalemi ne bamubuuza nti, “Ggwe ani?”
And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent Prestes and Levites from Ierusalem to axe him what arte thou?
20 Teyagaana kubaddamu, wabula yayatulira ddala nti, “Si nze Kristo.”
And he confessed and denyed not and sayde playnly: I am not Christ.
21 Ne bamubuuza nti, “Kale ggwe ani? Ggwe Eriya?” Yokaana Omubatiza n’addamu nti, “Nedda, si nze ye.” Ne bongera okumubuuza nti, “Ggwe Nnabbi ayogerwako?” N’addamu nti, “Nedda.”
And they axed him: what then? arte thou Helyas? And he sayde: I am not. Arte thou a Prophete? And he answered no.
22 Awo ne bamugamba nti, “Abatutumye tunaabagamba nti, Ggwe ani? Weeyita otya?”
Then sayd they vnto him: what arte thou that we maye geve an answer to them that sent vs: What sayest thou of thy selfe?
23 N’abaddamu nti, “Nze ndi ddoboozi ly’oyo ayogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’asinziira mu ddungu nti, ‘Mutereeze ekkubo lya Mukama mweteekereteekere okujja kwe, nga nnabbi Isaaya bwe yayogera.’”
He sayde: I am the voyce of a cryar in the wyldernes make strayght the waye of the Lorde as sayde the Prophete Esaias.
24 Abaatumibwa baava eri Abafalisaayo.
And they which were sent were of the pharises.
25 Awo ne babuuza Yokaana nti, “Kale lwaki obatiza, obanga si ggwe Kristo oba Eriya oba nnabbi oli?”
And they axed him and sayde vnto him: why baptisest thou then yf thou be not Christ nor Helyas nether a Prophet?
26 Yokaana n’addamu nti, “Nze mbatiza na mazzi, naye waliwo ayimiridde wakati mu mmwe gwe mutamanyi,
Iohn answered them sayinge: I baptise with water: but one is come amonge you whom ye knowe not
27 anvaako emabega, nze sisaanira na kusumulula buguwa bwa ngatto ze.”
he it is that cometh after me whiche was before me whose sho latchet I am not worthy to vnlose.
28 Ebyo byali Besaniya, emitala w’omugga Yoludaani, Yokaana Omubatiza gye yabatirizanga.
These thinges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordan where Iohn dyd baptyse.
29 Ku lunaku olwaddirira, Yokaana Omubatiza n’alaba Yesu ng’ajja, n’agamba nti, “Mulabe Omwana gw’Endiga owa Katonda aggyawo ebibi by’ensi.
The nexte daye Iohn sawe Iesus commyge vnto him and sayde: beholde the lambe of God which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde.
30 Ye wuuyo gwe nayogerako, bwe nagamba nti, ‘Waliwo omuntu anvaako emabega ye ansinga obuyinza, kubanga ye yaliwo nga nze sinnabaawo.’
This is he of whom I sayde. After me cometh a man which was before me for he was yer then I
31 Nange nnali simumanyi, wabula nze najja okubatiza n’amazzi, ndyoke mulage eri abantu ba Isirayiri.”
and I knew him not: but that he shuld be declared to Israell therfore am I come baptisynge with water.
32 Awo Yokaana Omubatiza n’abategeeza nga bwe yalaba Mwoyo Mutukuvu ng’akka okuva mu ggulu ng’ali ng’ejjiba n’abeera ku Yesu,
And Iohn bare recorde sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heven lyke vnto a dove and abyde apon him
33 n’abagamba nti, “Nze saamutegeera, kyokka Katonda bwe yantuma okubatiza yaŋŋamba nti, ‘Bw’olabanga Mwoyo Mutukuvu ng’akka n’abeera ku muntu, nga oyo, ye Kristo abatiza ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu.’
and I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptise in water the same sayde vnto me: apon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him the same is he which baptiseth with the holy goost.
34 Ekyo nkirabye era nkiweerako obujulirwa nti Ye Mwana wa Katonda.”
And I sawe and bare recorde that this is the sonne of God.
35 Awo ku lunaku olwaddirira nate Yokaana bwe yali ayimiridde n’abayigirizwa be babiri,
The next daye after Iohn stode agayne and two of his disciples.
36 Yesu n’ayitawo ng’atambula. Yokaana n’amutunuulira enkaliriza n’agamba nti, “Mulabe Omwana gw’Endiga wa Katonda.”
And he behelde Iesus as he walked by and sayde: beholde the lambe of God.
37 Awo abayigirizwa abo ababiri bwe baawulira ekyo ne bagoberera Yesu.
And the two disciples hearde him speake and folowed Iesus.
38 Yesu bwe yakyuka n’abalaba nga bamugoberera n’ababuuza nti, “Mwagala ki?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Labbi” (ekitegeeza nti: “Omuyigiriza”), “obeera wa?”
And Iesus turned about and sawe them folowe and sayde vnto them: what seke ye? They sayde vnto him: Rabbi (which is to saye by interpretacion Master) where dwellest thou?
39 N’abaddamu nti, “Mujje mulabeyo.” Awo ne bagenda naye gye yali abeera, olunaku olwo ne baluzibiza eyo nga bali naye, obudde bwali ng’essaawa kkumi ez’olweggulo okutuusa akawungeezi.
He sayde vnto them: come and se. They came and sawe where he dwelt: and abode with him that daye. For it was about the tenthe houre.
40 Omu ku abo ababiri abaawulira Yokaana ng’ayogera ne bagoberera Yesu, yali Andereya, muganda wa Simooni Peetero.
One of the two which hearde Iohn speake and folowed Iesus was Andrew Simon Peters brother.
41 Awo Andereya n’agenda anoonya muganda we Simooni n’amugamba nti, “Tulabye Masiya” (amakulu nti Kristo).
The same founde his brother Simon fyrst and sayde vnto him: we have founde Messias which is by interpretacion annoynted:
42 Andereya n’atwala Simooni eri Yesu. Yesu bwe yeetegereza Simooni, n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe Simooni omwana wa Yokaana, kale onooyitibwanga Keefa,” amakulu nti Peetero.
and brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him and sayde: thou arte Simon the sonne of Ionas thou shalt be called Cephas: which is by interpretacion a stone.
43 Ku lunaku olwaddirira, Yesu n’agenda e Ggaliraaya, bwe yasanga Firipo n’amugamba nti, “Ngoberera.”
The daye folowynge Iesus wolde goo into Galile and founde Philip and sayde vnto him folowe me.
44 Firipo yali wa mu kibuga Besusayida ewaabwe wa Andereya ne Peetero.
Philip was of Bethsaida the cite of Andrew and Peter.
45 Firipo bwe yalaba Nassanayiri, n’amugamba nti, “Tulabye Yesu mutabani wa Yusufu ow’e Nazaaleesi, Musa ne bannabbi gwe baawandiikako.”
And Philip founde Nathanael and sayde vnto him. We have founde him of whom Moses in the lawe and the prophetes dyd wryte. Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth.
46 Nassanayiri n’amuddamu nti, “Mu Nazaaleesi musobola okuvaamu ekintu ekirungi?” Firipo kwe kumuddamu nti, “Jjangu weerabireko.”
And Nathanael sayde vnto him: can ther eny good thinge come out of Nazareth? Philip sayde to him: come and se.
47 Nassanayiri bwe yali asemberera Yesu, Yesu n’agamba nti, “Laba, Omuyisirayiri wawu ataliimu bukuusa.”
Iesus sawe Nathanael commynge to him and sayde of him. Beholde a ryght Israelite in who is no gyle.
48 Nassanayiri kwe kumuddamu nti, “Ontegedde otya?” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Firipo bw’abadde tannakutuukako, nkulabye ng’oli wansi w’omutiini.”
Nathanael sayd vnto him: where knewest thou me? Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Before that Philip called the when thou wast vnder ye fygge tree I sawe the.
49 Nassanayiri n’amuddamu nti, “Labbi, oli Mwana wa Katonda, gwe Kabaka wa Isirayiri!”
Nathanael answered and sayde vnto him: Rabbi thou arte the sonne of God thou arte the kynge of Israel.
50 Awo Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Okkiriza kubanga nkugambye nti nkulabye ng’oli wansi w’omutiini? Oliraba n’ebisinga awo obukulu.
Iesus answered and sayd vnto him: Because I sayde vnto the I sawe the vnder the fygge tree thou belevest. Thou shalt se greater thinges then these.
51 Ddala ddala nkugamba nti oliraba eggulu nga libikkuse ne bamalayika ba Katonda nga balinnya era nga bakkira ku Mwana w’Omuntu.”
And he sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto you: herafter shall ye se heven open and the angels of God ascendynge and descendynge over the sonne of man.
