1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1 Za sintina Sanno go no. Sanno da Irikoy go care banda mo, Sanno ya Irikoy no mo.
2The same was in the beginning with God.
2 Za sintina nga nda Irikoy no.
3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
3 Nga no na hay kulu taka. Hay kulu kaŋ taka mana taka kala nda Sanno.
4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
4 A ra fundi go, fundo mo borey annura no.
5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
5 Annura din goono ga kaari mo kuba ra, kuba mo mana hin a.
6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
6 Boro fo kaa kaŋ Irikoy donton, a maa ga ti Yohanna.
7The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
7 Bora din kaa ka ciya seeda, a ma seeda annura boŋ, zama boro kulu ma cimandi a seeda boŋ.
8He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
8 Nga bumbo manti annura no, amma a kaa ka seeda annura din boŋ.
9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
9 Woodin annura cimi-cimo no kaŋ goono ga kaa ndunnya ra, kaŋ ga kaari boro kulu gaa.
10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
10 A go ndunnya ra, nga mo no na ndunnya te, amma ndunnya man'a bay.
11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
11 A kaa nga waney do, amma a wane borey man'a ta.
12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
12 Amma borey kulu kaŋ n'a ta, ngey kaŋ yaŋ de a gaa, a n'i no dabari i ma ciya Irikoy izeyaŋ.
13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
13 I hay manti hayrey kuri do, wala Adam-ize bine ibaay miila do, wala alboro miila boŋ, amma Irikoy do.
14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
14 Sanno mo ciya gaahamkoy, a goro iri game ra mo. Iri di a darza, darza kaŋ ti Ize follonka kaŋ fun Baaba do wano. A to da gomni nda cimi.
15John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
15 Yohanna seeda a boŋ. A na nga jinde sambu ka ne: «Bora neeya kaŋ boŋ ay salaŋ ka ne: ‹Bora kaŋ ga kaa ay banda, ay jine boro no, zama a go no za i man'ay hay.› »
16And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
16 Zama a tooyaŋo ra no iri kulu du. Gomni mo goono ga gomni gana.
17For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
17 Zama Musa do no Irikoy na asariya* no, amma gomni nda cimi, Yesu Almasihu do no i fun.
18No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
18 Boro kulu si no kaŋ di Irikoy baa ce fo. Irikoy Ize follonka kaŋ go Baaba ganda ra, nga no ka Baaba bangandi.
19And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
19 Yohanna seeda neeya, waato kaŋ Urusalima* Yahudancey na alfagayaŋ* da Lawi boro fooyaŋ donton i ma koy a do k'a hã ka ne: «Nin no may?»
20And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
20 A yadda, a mana ze, amma a yadda ka ci ka ne: «Ay wo manti Almasihu no.»
21And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
21 I n'a hã ka ne: «Mate no, ni ya Iliya no?» A ne: «Ay wo manti nga no.» I ne: «Ni ya annabo* din no?» A tu ka ne: «Abada.»
22Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
22 Gaa no i ne a se: «Day, nin no may, hal iri ma konda tuyaŋo borey kaŋ n'iri donton se? Ifo no ni ga ne ni bumbo ciine ra?»
23He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
23 A ne: «Ay ya boro fo kaŋ goono ga kuuwa ganjo ra jinda kaŋ go ga ne: ‹Wa Rabbi fonda sasabandi.› » sanda mate kaŋ annabi Isaya ci.
24And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
24 Borey kaŋ i donton ra, afooyaŋ Farisi* fonda boroyaŋ no.
25And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
25 I n'a hã ka ne: «Ifo se no ni goono ga baptisma* te, da ni manti Almasihu, ni manti Iliya*, ni manti annabo din mo?»
26John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
26 Yohanna tu i se ka ne: «Ay wo, ay goono ga baptisma te hari ra, amma araŋ bindo ra boro fo goono ga kay kaŋ araŋ si bay, kaŋ ga kaa ay banda.
27He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
27 Ay mana to naŋ kaŋ ay ga ce daŋ a ce ra.»
28These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
28 Hayey din Baytaniya ra no i te, Urdun* daŋanta jabo me gaa, naŋ kaŋ Yohanna goono ga baptisma te.
29The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
29 A wane suba, a di Yesu goono ga kaa nga do. A ne: «Guna Irikoy feej'izo kaŋ ga ndunnya zunubey sambu!
30This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
30 Nga no ga ti bora kaŋ boŋ ay salaŋ ka ne: ‹Boro fo go kaa ay banda kaŋ ay jine boro no, zama a go no za i man'ay hay.›
31And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
31 Ay bumbo mo man'a bay, amma hal a ma bangay Israyla* se no ay kaa ka baptisma te hari ra.»
32And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
32 Yohanna seeda ka ne: «Ay di Biya _Hanno|_ goono ga zumbu ka fun beena ra sanda koloŋay cine ka goro a boŋ.
33And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
33 Ay bumbo mo man'a bay, amma Irikoy kaŋ n'ay donton hal ay ma baptisma te hari ra, nga no ne ay se: ‹Bora kaŋ ni ga di Biya* _Hanno|_ ga zumbu ka goro a boŋ, bora din no ga baptisma te da Biya Hanno.›
34And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
34 Ay bumbo mo di, ay seeda mo kaŋ nga no ga ti Irikoy Izo.»
35Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
35 A wane suba koyne, Yohanna goono ga kay, nga nda nga talibi* hinka.
36And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
36 Waato kaŋ a di Yesu goono ga bisa, a ne: «Guna Irikoy feej'izo!»
37And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
37 Talibi hinka din maa sanney kaŋ a ci, i na Yesu gana mo.
38Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
38 Yesu zagu, a di kaŋ i goono ga nga gana. A ne i se: «Ifo no araŋ goono ga ceeci?» I ne a se: «Malam (sanda Alfa nooya), man gaa no ni go da goray?»
39He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
39 A ne i se: «Wa kaa, araŋ ga di.» I koy mo, i di naŋ kaŋ a go da goray (a to sanda guuru taaci cine). I wicira a banda zaaro din.
40One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
40 I boro hinka kaŋ maa Yohanna sanno ka Yesu gana, boro fa i ga ne a se Andarawos, Siman Bitros nya ize no.
41He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
41 Nga wo, sintina a na nga nya izo Siman ceeci ka ne a se: «Iri di Almasihu» (sanda Kiristi nooya).
42And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
42 A kond'a Yesu do. Yesu mo n'a guna ka ne: «Ni no ga ti Siman Yonana ize. I ga ne ni se Kefas» (sanda Bitros nooya).
43The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
43 A wane suba, Yesu ga ba nga ma koy Galili* laabu. A di Filibos. Yesu ne a se mo: «Ay gana.»
44Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
44 Filibos binde Baytsayda, kaŋ ti Bitros nda Andarawos yaŋ kwaara, boro no.
45Philip 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.
45 Filibos mo koy ka Nataniyel ceeci ka ne a se: «Iri di bora kaŋ boŋ Musa na baaro hantum Tawretu* ra, nda annabey mo -- Yesu Yusufu ize, Nazara boro no.»
46And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
46 Nataniyel ci a se ka ne: «Hari hanno ga hin ka fun Nazara ra no?» Filibos ci a se ka ne: «Kaa ka di!»
47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
47 Yesu di Nataniyel goono ga kaa nga do. A salaŋ a boŋ ka ne: «Guna, Israyla boro no da cimi kaŋ sinda gulinci.»
48Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
48 Nataniyel ne a se: «Man no ni g'ay bay?» Yesu tu ka ne a se: «Za Filibos mana ni ce, ay di nin, waato kaŋ ni go jeejay* nyaŋo cire.»
49Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
49 Nataniyel tu a se ka ne: «Alfa, nin no ga ti Irikoy Izo! Nin no ga ti Israyla Bonkoono!»
50Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
50 Yesu tu a se ka ne: «Zama ay ci ni se ka ne ay di nin jeejay nyaŋo cire se no ni go ga cimandi, wala? Ni ga di hariyaŋ kaŋ ga bisa woodin yaŋ beeray.»
51And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
51 A ne a se koyne: «Haciika, haciika ay ga ci araŋ se: araŋ ga di beena feerante. Araŋ ga di mo Irikoy malaykey* goono ga kaaru ka zumbu Boro* Izo boŋ.»
