1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1Di tazwara yella win yellan d Awal n Ṛebbi, yella akk-d Ṛebbi, d nețța i d Ṛebbi.
2The same was in the beginning with God.
2Si tazwara, yella akk-d Ṛebbi,
3All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.
3kullec yețwaxleq seg-s ; deg wayen meṛṛa yețwaxelqen, ulac ayen ur d-nekki ara s ɣuṛ-es.
4In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
4Deg-s i tella tudert ; tudert-agi tella ț-țafat i yemdanen.
5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome The word translated “overcome” (katelaben) can also be translated “comprehended.” It refers to getting a grip on an enemy to defeat him. it.
5Tafat tețfeǧǧiǧ di ṭṭlam, yerna ṭṭlam ur ț-iqbil ara.
6There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
6Yella yiwen wergaz yețwaceggeɛ ed s ɣuṛ Ṛebbi, argaz-agi isem-is Yeḥya ;
7The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
7yusa-d ad yili d inigi n tafat iwakken imdanen meṛṛa ad amnen s cchada-ines.
8He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
8Mačči d nețța i ț-țafat, nețța yusa-d d inigi n tafat.
9The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
9Tafat-agi ț-țafat n tideț, tusa-d ɣer ddunit iwakken aț-țecṛeq ɣef yal amdan.
10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
10Win yellan d Awal n Ṛebbi yella yakan si tazwara di ddunit, imi d nețța i ț-ixelqen lameɛna ddunit ur t- teɛqil ara.
11He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
11Yusa-d ɣer lumma-s lameɛna nețțat ur t-teqbil ara.
12But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:
12Ma d wid i t-iqeblen yumnen yis, widak iɛuzz-iten, uɣalen d arraw n Ṛebbi,
13who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
13mačči seg wemdan i d-lulen, mačči s lebɣi n tnefsit neɣ s lebɣi n wemdan, lameɛna d Ṛebbi i sen-yefkan tudert tajdiṭ.
14The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
14Win akken yellan d Awal, yuɣal-ed d amdan, iɛac gar-aneɣ, yeččuṛ ț-țideț akk-d ṛṛeḥma. Nețweḥḥid di lqeḍra i d-yefka Baba Ṛebbi i Mmi-s awḥid.
15John 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.’”
15Yeḥya iched-ed fell-as zdat lɣaci yeqqaṛ : D nețța ɣef i wen-d-nniɣ : win ara d-yasen deffir-iw yezwar-iyi-d axaṭer yella uqbel ad iliɣ.
16From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
16Yesseṛwa-yaɣ s lxiṛat-is, lbaṛaka ɣef tayeḍ.
17For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
17ccariɛa tusa-d s ufus n Sidna Musa, ma d ṛṛeḥma ț-țideț usant-ed s Sidna Ɛisa Lmasiḥ
18No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, NU reads “God” who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
18Yiwen ur yeẓri Sidi Ṛebbi, Mmi-s awḥid yellan ɣuṛ-es, d nețța i ɣ-t-id isbeggnen.
19This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
19Atah wamek i geched Yeḥya asmi i d-ceggɛen ɣuṛes lḥekkam n wudayen si temdint n Lquds. Ceggɛen-d ɣuṛes tajmaɛt n lmu-qedmin akk-d yemṛabḍen n at Lewwi akken a t-steqsin, nnan-as : Anwa-k keččini ?
20He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
20Yenna-yasen tideț mbla tuffra : Mačči d nekk i d Lmasiḥ !
21They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”
21Rnan steqsan-t : Anwa-k ihi ? D kečč i d nnbi Ilyas ? Yeḥya yenna-yasen : Xaṭi mačči d nekk. Nutni rnan nnan-as : D nnbi i telliḍ ? Nețța yerra-yasen : Xaṭi !
22They 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?”
22Rnan ḥeṛsen-t nnan-as : Anwa-k ihi ? Ilaq a nerr lexbaṛ i wid i ɣ-d-iceggɛen. D acu i teqqaṛeḍ ɣef yiman-ik ?
23He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ Isaiah 40:3 as Isaiah the prophet said.”
23Yeḥya yenna-yasen : Nekk d win akken ɣef i d-yenna nnbi Iceɛya : ț-țaɣect tețɛeggiḍ deg unezṛuf : Heggit abrid i Sidi Ṛebbi !
24The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
24Wid i d-yusan ɣuṛ-es i gellan di tejmaɛt n ifariziyen,
25They asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”
25rnan steqsan-t nnan-as : Imi ur telliḍ ara d Lmasiḥ neɣ d nnbi Ilyas neɣ d nnbi nniḍen, iwacu ihi i tesseɣḍaseḍ lɣaci deg waman ?
26John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
26Yeḥya yerra-yasen : Nekk sseɣḍaseɣ-kkun deg waman ; yella gar-awen yiwen ur t-tessinem ara,
27He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
27usiɣ-ed uqbel-is, lameɛna ur uklaleɣ ara ad fsiɣ ulamma d lexyuḍ n warkasen-is.
28These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
28Annect-agi meṛṛa yedṛa di taddart n Bitanya ɣer tama n cceṛq n wasif n Urdun anda i gesseɣḍas Yeḥya lɣaci.
29The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
29Azekka-nni, Yeḥya iwala Sidna Ɛisa iteddu-d ɣuṛ-es, yenṭeq s ṣṣut ɛlayen : Atan Izimer n Ṛebbi, d win ițekksen ddnub n ddunit.
30This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
30Fell-as i wen-d-nniɣ : « a d-yas yiwen, zwareɣ-t-id meɛna yella uqbel a d iliɣ.»
31I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel.”
31Nekk s yiman-iw ur ẓriɣ ara anwa-t meɛna usiɣ-ed ad sɣeḍseɣ deg waman akken a t-issinen wat Isṛail .
32John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
32Atan wayen i d-yenna Yeḥya Aɣeṭṭas fell-as : Walaɣ Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen iṣubb-ed seg igenni s ṣṣifa n tetbirt yers-ed fell-as.
33I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’
33Nekk ur ẓriɣ ara belli d nețța, meɛna Sidi Ṛebbi i yi-d iceggɛen iwakken ad sɣeḍseɣ deg waman, yenna-yi-d : « Aț-țwaliḍ Ṛṛuḥ iṣubb-ed seg igenni, a d-yers ɣef yiwen wergaz, d nețța ara yesɣeḍsen imdanen s Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen. »
34I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
34Ayagi d ayen i ẓrant wallen-iw, daymi i d-cehdeɣ fell-as qqaṛeɣ : « Argaz-agi d Mmi-s n Ṛebbi.»
35Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
35Azekka-nni, Yeḥya mazal-it dinna nețța d sin seg inelmaden-is.
36and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
36Akken i gwala Sidna Ɛisa iɛedda-d, yenna-yasen : Atan izimer n Ṛebbi !
37The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
37Mi slan i imeslayen-agi, inelmaden-nni tebɛen Sidna Ɛisa.
38Jesus 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?”
38Sidna Ɛisa mi geẓra tebɛen-t-id, yezzi-d ɣuṛ-sen, yenna-yasen : D acu tebɣam ? Nutni nnan-as : Ṛabi ( yeɛni : a Sidi ), anda tzedɣeḍ ?
39He 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. 4:00 PM.
39Yenna-yasen : Ddut yid-i aț-țeẓrem. Inelmaden-nni ddan yid-es, ẓran anda yezdeɣ. Aț-țili d ṛebɛa n tmeddit, qqimen yid-es armi yekfa wass.
40One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
40Andriyus, gma-s n Semɛun Buṭrus d yiwen seg inelmaden-nni i gtebɛen Sidna Ɛisa m'akken i sen-d-yehdeṛ fell-as Yeḥya ;
41He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ “Messiah” (Hebrew) and “Christ” (Greek) both mean “Anointed One”. ).
41iṛuḥ uqbel ɣer gma-s Semɛun, yenna-yas : Nufa Lmasiḥ ! Win i gextaṛ Ṛebbi.
42He 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).
42Andriyus yewwi Semɛun ɣer Sidna Ɛisa. Akken i t-iwala Sidna Ɛisa, imuqel-it yenna-yas : Kečč i d Semɛun mmi-s n Yunes. Sya d asawen aț-tețțusemmiḍ Sifas yeɛni : Buṭrus.
43On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
43Azekka-nni, Sidna Ɛisa yeqsed ad iṛuḥ ɣer tmurt n Jlili. Deg ubrid yemmuger-ed Filibus, yenna-yas : Ddu-d yid-i !
44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
44Filibus, d yiwen si taddart n Bitsayda, anda akken zedɣen Buṭrus d Andriyus.
45Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
45Syenna Filibus yeẓra-d Natanahil, yenna-yas : Nufa win ɣef i d-yehdeṛ Sidna Musa di ccariɛa, win akken i ɣef d-xebbṛen lenbiya. D Ɛisa, mmi-s n Yusef n taddart n Naṣaret.
46Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
46Natanahil yerra-yas : Amek, yezmer a d-iffeɣ wayen yelhan si taddart n Naṣaret ? Filibus yerra-yas : Eyya-d aț-țwaliḍ s wallen-ik !
47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
47Sidna Ɛisa mi gwala Natanahil iteddu-d ɣuṛ-es, yenna : Atah yiwen n wat Isṛail n tideț, ulac deg-s leɣdeṛ.
48Nathanael 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.”
48Natanahil yenna i Sidna Ɛisa : Anda i yi-tesneḍ ? Sidna Ɛisa yerra-yas : Uqbel a k-d-yessiwel Filibus, mi telliḍ ddaw n tneqleț, walaɣ-k-in !
49Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
49Dɣa Natanahil yenna-yas : A Sidi, kečč d Mmi-s n Ṛebbi ! D agellid n wat Isṛail !
50Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”
50Sidna Ɛisa yerra-yas : Tumneḍ imi i k-d-nniɣ walaɣ k-in seddaw n tneqleț ; sya ɣer zdat aț-țeẓred ayen yugaren annect-a !
51He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
51S tideț qqaṛeɣ-awen : aț-țwalim igenni yeldi, lmalayekkat n Sidi Ṛebbi țțalint țṣubbunt sennig Mmi-s n bunadem.
