Meriam Mir Gospels
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1Abele Logo degraret, Ade dog abele Logo, a Ade Logo,
2He was with God in the beginning.
2E ko Ade dog degraret.
3Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.
3E ge gaire lu detagem eseamulu; a nole nerute lu, E nole atagem kak.
4In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
4Eded abi dog; a eded gaire le daratkeda.
5The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
5Abele be de daratkeda muige kupkupi ge; a kupkup nole arpeir kak.
6There came a man who was sent from God. His name was John.
6Ege nerute le tabaruk, Ade de temariklu, nei atker Ioane.
7He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe.
7E dali tabaruk ageakarem, abele lugem ko datki ageakarem, epe gaire le uridili odaratare abielam.
8He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
8E dali nole abele datki, E tabaruk ko ageakarem datki penoka ekas.
9The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world.
9Abele datki kar, ko daratkeare gaire le uridili, sepem tabarkare.
10He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.
10E geseb ge, a geseb abi atagemlam, a geseb nole abi ardar kak.
11He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
11E abara boai tabaruk, a abara boai nole abi agaret kak.
12But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—
12Ui uridili abi egardare, a odaratarare abi nei de, E uiabim adigir nakuarare ko Ade ra omasker:
13children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
13Uiaba nole mamlam aosos, a nole gem ra lag, a nole le ra lag, epe Adelam.
14The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
14Logo depeger le gem ise, a E meribi dog emrilu, (a keriba abara zorom dasmerare, zorom mokakalam Aba ra Uerem netat,) mitkar omare, a ageakar.
15John testified concerning Him. He cried out, saying, “This is He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’”
15Ioane abi ageakarem, a ereretikri, kega, Idali kaka detautili, kega, Nerute le kari sorge ikas au kale kari tumge; abelegelam E kekiam, ka keubu.
16From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.
16Meriba uridili nagri no omare tumem no omare abi mitkarlam.
17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
17Abele gelar Mose de dekuarare, abele omare a ageakar tonar, Iesu Kerisolam.
18No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.
18Nole le Ade asmer kak; epe abara Uerem tepteb taba Aba ra marmot, E etomeret.
19And this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?”
19Ge Ioane de ageakarem peik, uiabi Iudaia giz gaire zogo le a gaire Leui namarida Ierusalemlam, ko abi itmerare, kega, Ma nete?
20He did not refuse to confess, but openly declared, “I am not the Christ.”
20E natomertare, a nole agem kak; a mamoro natomertare, kega, Kaka nole Keriso.
21“Then who are you?” they inquired. “Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
21Uiaba abi itmerare, kega, Ma nete? Ma Elia ao? E etkalu, kega, Kaka nolea. Ma perofeta ao? E etkalu, Nolea.
22So they said to him, “Who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
22Uiaba abi detagerare, kega, Ma nete? Ma natkar keribi uiabim tedautare keribi pe tedemarida. Nako mara mer marielam?
23John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet: “I am a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
23E detaut, kega, Kaka kodo ereretikrili soge purge, kega, Barditugili Iehoua ra gab, mokakalam Isaia perofeta detauter.
24Then the Pharisees who had been sent
24Uader Faresaio taramarkare.
25asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
25Uiaba abi itmerare, a abi detagerare, kega, Nalugem ma bapataiso, ese ma nole Keriso, a nole Elia, a nole nerute perofeta?
26“I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands One you do not know.
26Ioane uiabim etkalu, kega, Kaka bapataiso ni de; nerute uabi eipu ekuei uaba asmer kak,
27He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
27E dali kari sorge ikas au kale kari tumem, kaka nole abkoreb ko detue abara teter gab mukub.
28All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
28Abele gaire lu Bethabara ge ikerare, Ioridano ge sager pek, ge abele uteb ge Ioane de bapataiso.
29The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
29Iuoakaer, Ioane de Iesu dasmer abim tabakeam, a E detager, kega, A ma dasmer Ade ra Arenio, ko adem dikri gaire geseb uit!
30This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’
30E dali kari atautelam, kega, Nerute le kari sorge ikas au kale kari tumge; abelelam E kekiam, ka keubu.
31I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”
31Kaka nole abi ardar kak; debele abi etomer Isaraela ibim, abelelam kaka tabaruk ko bapataiso ni de.
32Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.
32Ioane de ageakarem, a detager, kega, Kaka Lamar Zogo dasmer kotorlam tepelu dibadiba ise, a abi kerem ge egimulu.
33I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
33Kaka nole abi ardar kak: epe E dali kari taramarida ko bapataiso ni de, E kari natager, kega, Abele le ma dasmer Lamar Zogo ueeperoa abi kerem ge ueegimurua, E dali bapataiso Lamar Zogo de.
34I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
34Kaka dasmer, a kaka ageakarem, kega, Ade ra Uerem pedali.
35The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
35Iako iuaokaer, Ioane ekueilu, a neis abara kaimeg giz;
36When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
36E Iesu dasmer, ekasereder, E daratager, kega, Ua dasmeram Ade ra Arenio!
37And when the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
37Abele neis kaimeg abara mer aserei, ui darali Iesu irmilei.
38Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”
38Iesu egreemalu, a darasmer ui darali abi irmili, a ui darali detagerei, kega, Nalu ua deraimerei? Ui natkalei abim, kega, Rabi (tonar, Ereuer le), ma nade emri?
39“Come and see,” He replied. So they went and saw where He was staying, and spent that day with Him. It was about the tenth hour.
39E ui darali detagerei, kega, Ua tabarkam, a dasmeram. Ui darali bakeamulei a dasmerei abara uteb, a abi kemem emrilei abele gerger ge: abelelam maike kige.
40Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John’s testimony and followed Jesus.
40Nerute le uiabielam Ioane aserei, a abi irmilei, pe Anederea, Simona Peteru ra keimer.
41He first found his brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated as Christ).
41E kekiam erdalu abara keimer Simona, a abi detager, kega, Ki Mesaia erdali, (tonar abele nei, Keriso.)
42Andrew brought him to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter).
42E Iesuim egaredelu. Iesu abi dasmer, a detager, kega, Ma Simona Iona ra uerem; mari nei natkeri Kefa, (tonar abele nei, Peteru.)
43The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”
43Iuaokaer, Iesu laglag Galalaiem bakeam, E Filipo erdalu, a abi detager, Kari narmili.
44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same town as Andrew and Peter.
44Filipo Bethesaidalam, uteb Anederea a Peteru.
45Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the One Moses wrote about in the Law, the One the prophets foretold—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
45Filipo de Nathaniela erdalu, a abi detager, kega, Keriba abi erdali Mose de abielam gelar ge, a gaire perofeta detar, Iesu Nazaretalam, Iosefa ra uerem.
46“Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.
46Nathaniela de abi detager, kega, Nako, umelo nerute debe lu ua tabakeamur Nazaretalam? Filipo abi detager, Ma tabakeam dasmer.
47When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”
47Iesu Nathaniela dasmer abim tabakeam, a abi detager, kega, Dasmer, Isaraela kar, nole bes kak abi dog!
48“How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
48Nathaniela abi detager, kega, Nade ma kari nasmer? Iesu etkalu, a abi detager, kega, Kaka mari nasmeli suke mudge, a Filipo nole mari abger kak.
49“Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
49Nathaniela abim etkalu, kega, Rabi, ma Ade ra Uerem, a Isaraela ra Opole.
50Jesus said to him, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.”
50Iesu etkalu, a abi detager, kega Ma oituli abelelam kaka mari natageri, kega, Kaka mari nasmili suke mudge? mena ma keubu dasmer gaire au lu tumem abele.
51Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
51Iesu abi detager, kega, Ageakar, ageakar kaka uabi detagereda, kega, Uarem uaba ko dasmerare kotor uanakesmur, a gaire Ade ra angela uatabatuer iako uabog tumem Le la Uerem.
