¹Lomo' -na, kako'ia-na dunia' rapajadi', mpolia' ria-imi-hana Lolita. Lolita toei, dohe Alata'ala-i, pai' Lolita toei, Hi'a moto-mi Alata'ala.

¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

²Ngkai lomo' -na-imi dohe Alata'ala-e.

²The same was in the beginning with God.

³Hi'a-mi to napopale Alata'ala mpopajadi' hawe'ea to rapajadi'. Uma ria hanyalaa to jadi' ane uma Hi'a.

³All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.

⁴Hi'a-mi pehupaa' katuwua', pai' Hi'a-mi baja to mpobajahi nono manusia'.

⁴In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

⁵Baja toe mehini ncuu hi rala kabengia-na, pai' kabengia uma mpakulei' mpopatehi-i.

⁵And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.

⁶Rata hadua tauna to nasuro Alata'ala, hanga' -na Yohanes Topeniu'.

⁶There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

⁷Karata-na Yohanes toe, hi'a-mi jadi' sabi' to mpopalele baja toe hi hawe'ea tauna, bona hawe'ea-ra mpo'epe posabi' -na pai' mepangala' hi baja toei.

⁷The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.

⁸Yohanes, bela-hawo hi'a baja toe-e. Pai' -i tumai, mpopalele baja toe hi hawe'ea tauna.

⁸He was not the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light.

⁹Lolita toei, Hi'a-mi poko baja to mpobajahi nono hawe'ea tauna, rata-i hi rala dunia'.

⁹There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, coming into the world.

¹⁰Hi'a-mi to napopale Alata'ala mpopajadi' dunia' toi. Tapi' karata-na hi dunia', tauna hi dunia' uma mpo'incai-i.

¹⁰He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.

¹¹Rata-i hi ngata-na moto, tapi' hingka ngata-na uma dota mpotarima-i.

¹¹He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.

¹²Tapi' hema-hema to mpotarima-i pai' mepangala' hi Hi'a, nawai' -ra huraa jadi' ana' Alata'ala.

¹²But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:

¹³Uma-ra mewali ana' Alata'ala sabana totu'a-ra, bela wo'o ngkai kuasa manusia', ba ngkai poncamoko. Alata'ala moto to mpopajadi' -ra ana' -na.

¹³who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

¹⁴Lolita toei, mewali manusia' -imi, pai' -i mo'oha' hi laintongo' -ta. Kai', kihilo-mi-kaina kabaraka' -na. Kabaraka' -na toe narata ngkai Tuama-na, apa' Hi'a-mi Ana' -na to Hadudua. Ngkai Hi'a toe-mi pai' alaa-na ta'inca Alata'ala pai' kabula rala-na hi kita'.

¹⁴And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

¹⁵Yohanes Topeniu' mpopo'incai ntodea kahema-na Lolita toei. Mekio' -i napesukui na'uli': "Hi'a toi-mile to ku'uli' -e wengi! Ku'uli': ria mpai' to tumai ngkabokoa' ngkai aku', aga meliu kabaraka' -na ngkai aku'. Apa' kako'ia-ku putu, mpolia' ria-imi-hana."

¹⁵John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.

¹⁶Uma ria ka'otia ahi' -na, pai' ngkai ahi' -na toe nagane' -tamo omea, uma ria kaputua-na rasi' to tarata ngkai Hi'a.

¹⁶For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.

¹⁷Ngkai nabi Musa tatarima Atura Pue' Ala. Tapi' ngkai Yesus Kristus toe-mi pai' ta'inca mpu'u-i Alata'ala, pai' kabula rala-na hi kita'.

¹⁷For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

¹⁸Uma ria haduaa to mpohilo Alata'ala. Tapi' Ana' -na to Hadudua toei, to tida oa' hi ncori-na, Hi'a-mi to mpakanoto Alata'ala hi kita'.

¹⁸No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].

¹⁹Hewa toi posabi' -na Yohanes Topeniu' mpo'uli' kahema-nai Yesus. Topoparenta to Yahudi hi Yerusalem mposuro ba hangkuja dua imam pai' to Lewi hilou hi Yohanes. Karata-ra hi Yohanes, mepekune' -ra: "Pai' -kai tumai toi-e, tumai mpekune' -ko ba hema-ko. Ba iko mpu'u-mi Magau' Topetolo' -e?"

¹⁹And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?

²⁰Yohanes mpotompoi' -ra hante kalonto' -lonto' -na, na'uli' -raka: "Bela-kuwo aku' Magau' Topetolo'."

²⁰And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ.

²¹Mepekune' tena-ra: "Ane wae, hema-ko? Ba nabi Elia-dako?" Na'uli' Yohanes: "Bela wo'o." Mepekune' tena-ra: "Ba iko lau-midi nabi bohe to rajanci owi, to ra'uli' tumai mpai' hi rala dunia' -e?" Na'uli' Yohanes: "Bela wo'o."

²¹And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.

²²Ngkai ree, ra'uli' tena: "Ane wae, uli' -kakai ba hema mpu'u-ko, bona ria woli' -na kiparata-raka to mposuro-kai. Beiwa petompoi' -nu kahema-na mpu'u-ko."

²²They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

²³Yohanes mpotompoi' -ra hante lolita nabi Yesaya owi, na'uli': "Aku' toi-le, Tauna to mekio' hi papada to wao': 'Neo' rata-imi Pue'. Porodo ami' -miki ohea-na!'"

²³He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.

²⁵Ra'uli' wo'o-mi suro to Parisi toera: "Ane bela-ko Magau' Topetolo', bela-ko nabi Elia, bela wo'o-ko nabi to rajanci, napa-di pai' mponiu' -ko tauna-e?"

²⁴And they had been sent from the Pharisees.

²⁷Na'uli' Yohanes: "Aku' -le mponiu' tauna hante ue-wadi. Tapi' rata mpai' hadua tauna ngkabokoa' ngkai aku'. Ria moto-imile hi laintongo' -ni tempo toi-e, tapi' uma-i ni'incai. Bangku' jadi' pahawaa' -na mpobongka koloro sapatu' -na, uma-a-kuwo natao."

²⁵And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?

²⁸Hawe'ea toe jadi' hi ngata Betania, hi peniua' -na Yohanes hi dipo ue Yordan.

²⁶John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,

²⁹Kampeneo-na, Yohanes mpohilo Yesus rata mpotoa' -i. Na'uli' -mi hi ntodea: "Hilo! Etu-imi tumai Ana' Bima to naporodo Alata'ala. Hi'a-mi to jadi' tolo' woto to mpolali jeko' manusia'.

²⁷[even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.

³⁰Hi'a-mi to ku'uli' -e wengi. Ku'uli' rata-i ngkabokoa' ngkai aku', aga meliu kabaraka' -na ngkai aku'. Apa' kako'ia-ku putu, mpolia' ria-imi-hana.

²⁸These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

³¹Lomo' -na wengi, ko'ia wo'o-kuwo ku'incai Kahi'a-nami Magau' Topetolo'. Hiaa' katumai-ku toi-e, bona mponiu' -ra to Israel hante ue pai' mpotudo' -raka kahema-na Magau' Topetolo' toe-e."

²⁹On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world!

³⁴Ria wo'o-mi posabi' -na Yohanes toi. Na'uli': "Lomo' -na uma ku'incai Kayesus-na Magau' Topetolo'. Tapi' Alata'ala mpohubui-a mponiu' tauna hante ue, pai' na'uli' -ka hewa toi: 'Ane nampa' nuhilo mpai' Inoha' Tomoroli' mana'u pai' rodo hi hadua tauna, Hi'a-mi mpai' to mponiu' tauna hante Inoha' Tomoroli'.' Jadi', kuhilo mpu'u-mi Inoha' Tomoroli' mana'u ngkai suruga molence danci mangkebodo, mehompo pai' mengkarodo hi Yesus. Toe pai' toi-ka lolita-ku: Yesus, Hi'a-mi Ana' Alata'ala."

³⁰This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was before me.

³⁵Kampeneo-na, ria wo'o-i Yohanes hi ree hante ana'guru-na rodua.

³¹And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing in water.

³⁶Kanahilo-na Yesus liu, na'uli': "Hilo, etu-imi tumai Ana' Bima Alata'ala!"

³²And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.

³⁷Kara'epe-na ana'guru-na lolita toe, kahilou-rami mpotuku' Yesus.

³³And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.

³⁸Yesus mewili', nahilo-ra mpotuku' -i. Napekune' -ra: "Napa to nipali' -e?" Ra'uli' -ki: "Hiapa po'ohaa' -nu Guru?"

³⁴And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.

³⁹Na'uli' Yesus: "Mai-mokoi, nihilo moto mpai'." Hilou mpu'u-ramo mpotuku' -i rata hi po'ohaa' -na. Pai' hi ree-ramo dohe-na ngkai jaa opo' duu' mobengi.

³⁵Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;

⁴⁰Ana'guru-na Yohanes toera mpotuku' Yesus, apa' mpo'epe-ra lolita-na Yohanes Topeniu' we'i. Hadua ngkai to rodua toera, hanga' -na Andreas, ompi' -na Simon Petrus.

³⁶and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!

⁴¹Kaliliu hilou-imi Andreas mpopali' Simon, na'uli' -ki: "Kirua' -imi-kaina Mesias!" (batua-na: Magau' Topetolo').

³⁷And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

⁴²Pai' napo'ema' -imi hilou hi Yesus. Yesus mponaa Simon, pai' na'uli' -ki: "Iko Simon ana' -na Yohanes. Aga ntepu'u tempo toi, rahanga' Kefas-moko." (Hanga' "Kefas" hi rala basa-ra to Yahudi, hibalia hante hanga' "Petrus" hi rala basa Yunani. Batua-na: watu.)

³⁸And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abideth thou?

⁴³Kampeneo-na, Yesus mopatuju hilou hi tana' Galilea. Kako'ia-na me'ongko', hilou-imi mpohirua' -ki Filipus pai' na'uli' -ki: "Tuku' -ama!"

³⁹He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour.

⁴⁴Filipus toei, ngkai ngata Betsaida, ngata-ra hira' Andreas pai' Petrus.

⁴⁰One of the two that heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

⁴⁵Ngkai ree, hilou wo'o-imi-hawo Filipus mpohirua' -ki doo-na to rahanga' Natanael, na'uli' -ki: "Kirua' -imi-kaina Magau' Topetolo' -e, hewa to te'uki' hi rala Buku Atura Musa pai' sura nabi owi! Hanga' -na Yesus ngkai Nazaret, ana' -na Yusuf."

⁴¹He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

⁴⁶Hampetompoi' Natanael: "Ha ria wo'o-hawo to lompe' to mehuwu ngkai Nazaret-e?" Na'uli' Filipus: "Mai-moko, nuhilo moto-i mpai'!" Hilou-ramo hi Yesus.

⁴²He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).

⁴⁷Yesus mpohilo Natanael tumai mpohirua' -ki, na'uli': "Etu-i tumai hadua to Yahudi to mpo'uhi mpu'u kehi-na Israel ntu'a-na owi, bela-i topebagiu!"

⁴³On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.

⁴⁸Na'uli' Natanael: "Ngkaiapa kanu'incaa-ku Guru?" Na'uli' Yesus: "Kako'ia-na nakio' -ko Filipus, kuhilo-mokole, hi tawu kaju ara toe-e ria."

⁴⁴Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

⁴⁹Na'uli' Natanael: "Ana' Alata'ala mpu'u-ko-tawo', Guru! Iko mpu'u-mi Magau' to Israel!"

⁴⁵Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

⁵⁰Na'uli' Yesus: "Nupangala' apa' ku'uli' kakuhilo-nu hi tawu kaju ara-e? Nuhilo tena-pi mpai' to meliu kabohe-na ngkai tetu."

⁴⁶And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

⁵¹Oti toe, na'uli' wo'o-mi Yesus: "Makono mpu'u lolita-ku toi: nihilo mpai' langi' tebea pai' mala'eka Alata'ala ngkahe' pai' mana'u tumai hi Aku', Ana' Manusia'."

⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

⁴⁸Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

⁴⁹Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel.

⁵⁰Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

⁵¹And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
