Yohana 1
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Coptic New Testament
1Hapo Mwanzo, Neno alikuwako; naye alikuwa na Mungu, naye alikuwa Mungu.
1ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ.
2Tangu mwanzo Neno alikuwa na Mungu.
2ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
3Kwa njia yake vitu vyote viliumbwa; hakuna hata kiumbe kimoja kilichoumbwa pasipo yeye.
3ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲧϭⲛⲟⲩϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ.
4Yeye alikuwa chanzo cha uhai na uhai huo ulikuwa mwanga wa watu.
4ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲡⲉ.
5Na mwanga huo huangaza gizani, nalo giza halikuweza kuushinda.
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲧⲁϩⲟϥ.
6Mungu alimtuma mtu mmoja jina lake Yohane,
6ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ.
7ambaye alikuja kuwaambia watu juu ya huo mwanga. Alikuja ili kwa ujumbe wake watu wote wapate kuamini.
7ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ.
8Yeye hakuwa huo mwanga, ila alikuja tu kuwaambia watu juu ya huo mwanga.
8ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ.
9Huu ndio mwanga halisi, mwanga unaokuja ulimwenguni, na kuwaangazia watu wote.
9ⲛⲁϥϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲙⲏⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
10Basi, Neno alikuwako ulimwenguni; na kwa njia yake ulimwengu uliumbwa, lakini ulimwengu haukumtambua.
10ⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ.
11Alikuja katika nchi yake mwenyewe, nao walio wake hawakumpokea.
11ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲟⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
12Lakini wale wote waliompokea na kumwamini, hao aliwapa uwezo wa kuwa watoto wa Mungu.
12ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲟⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥϯⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ.
13Hawa wamekuwa watoto wa Mungu si kwa uwezo wa kibinadamu, wala kwa nguvu za kimwili, wala kwa mapenzi ya mtu, bali Mungu mwenyewe ndiye baba yao.
13ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲙⲁⲥⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
14Naye Neno akawa mwanadamu, akakaa kwetu. Nasi tumeuona utukufu wake, utukufu wake yeye aliye Mwana wa pekee wa Baba; amejaa neema na ukweli.
14ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
15Yohane aliwaambia watu habari zake, akasema kwa sauti, “Huyu ndiye niliyemtaja wakati niliposema: Anakuja mtu mmoja baada yangu ambaye ni mkuu kuliko mimi, maana alikuwako kabla mimi sijazaliwa.”
15ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⳿ϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲓϫⲟϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲣⲱ ⲡⲉ.
16Kutokana na ukamilifu wake sisi tumepokea neema mfululizo.

17Maana Mungu alitoa Sheria kwa njia ya Mose, lakini neema na kweli vimekuja kwa njia ya Kristo.
17ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
18Hakuna mtu aliyemwona Mungu wakati wowote ule. Mwana wa pekee aliye sawa na Mungu ambaye ameungana na Baba, ndiye aliyetujulisha habari za Mungu.

19Huu ndio ushahidi Yohane alioutoa wakati viongozi wa Wayahudi kule Yerusalemu walipowatuma makuhani wa Walawi kwake wamwulize: “Wewe u nani?”
19ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲏⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲗⲉⲩⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ.
20Yohane hakukataa kujibu swali hilo, bali alisema waziwazi, “Mimi siye Kristo.”
20ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϫⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
21Hapo wakamwuliza, “Basi, wewe ni nani? Je, wewe ni Eliya?” Yohane akajibu, “La, mimi siye.” Wakamwuliza, “Je, wewe ni yule nabii?” Yohane akawajibu, “La!”
21ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ.
22Nao wakamwuliza, “Basi, wewe ni nani? Wasema nini juu yako mwenyewe? Tuambie, ili tuwapelekee jibu wale waliotutuma.”
22ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϫⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲕϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧⲕ.
23Yohane akawajibu, “Mimi ndiye yule ambaye nabii Isaya alisema habari zake: Sauti ya mtu imesikika jangwani: Nyoosheni njia ya Bwana.”
23ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ϯ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲧⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϣⲁϥⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲏⲥⲁ⳿ⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏ ⲧⲏⲥ.
24Hao watu walikuwa wametumwa na Mafarisayo.
24ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ.
25Basi, wakamwuliza Yohane, “Kama wewe si Kristo, wala Eliya, wala yule nabii, mbona wabatiza?”
25ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⳿ⲕϯⲱⲙⲥ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
26Yohane akawajibu, “Mimi nabatiza kwa maji, lakini yuko mmoja kati yenu, msiyemjua bado.
26ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ϥ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.

28Mambo haya yalifanyika huko Bethania, ng'ambo ya mto Yordani ambako Yohane alikuwa anabatiza.

29Kesho yake, Yohane alimwona Yesu akimjia, akasema, “Huyu ndiye Mwana-kondoo wa Mungu aondoaye dhambi ya ulimwengu!

31Mimi mwenyewe sikumfahamu, lakini nimekuja kubatiza kwa maji ili watu wa Israeli wapate kumjua.”

32Huu ndio ushahidi Yohane alioutoa: “Nilimwona Roho akishuka kama njiwa kutoka mbinguni na kutua juu yake.

33Mimi sikumjua, lakini yule aliyenituma nikabatize watu kwa maji alikuwa ameniambia: Mtu yule utakayemwona Roho akimshukia kutoka mbinguni na kukaa juu yake, huyo ndiye anayebatiza kwa Roho Mtakatifu.

35Kesho yake, Yohane alikuwa tena mahali hapo pamoja na wanafunzi wake wawili.

36Alipomwona Yesu akipita akasema, “Tazameni! Huyu ndiye Mwana-kondoo wa Mungu.”

37Hao wanafunzi walimsikia Yohane akisema maneno hayo, wakamfuata Yesu.

38Basi, Yesu aligeuka, na alipowaona hao wanafunzi wanamfuata, akawauliza, “Mnatafuta nini?” Nao wakamjibu, “Rabi (yaani Mwalimu), unakaa wapi?”
38ⲉⲧⲁϥⲫⲟⲛϩϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲣⲁⲃⲃⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲙⲉϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲁⲕϣⲟⲡ ⲑⲱⲛ.
39Yesu akawaambia, “Njoni, nanyi mtaona.” Hao wanafunzi wakamfuata, wakaona mahali alipokuwa anakaa, wakashinda naye siku hiyo. Ilikuwa yapata saa kumi jioni.

40Andrea, nduguye Simoni Petro, alikuwa mmoja wa hao wawili waliokuwa wamemsikia Yohane akisema hivyo, wakamfuata Yesu.

41Andrea alimkuta kwanza Simoni, ndugu yake, akamwambia, “Tumemwona Masiha” (maana yake Kristo).

42Kisha akampeleka Simoni kwa Yesu. Naye Yesu akamtazama Simoni akasema, “Wewe ni Simoni mwana wa Yohane. Sasa utaitwa Kefa.” (maana yake ni Petro, yaani, “Mwamba.”)

43Kesho yake Yesu aliamua kwenda Galilaya. Basi, akamkuta Filipo, akamwambia, “Nifuate.”

45Naye Filipo akamkuta Nathanieli, akamwambia, “Tumemwona yule ambaye Mose aliandika juu yake katika kitabu cha Sheria, na ambaye manabii waliandika habari zake, yaani Yesu Mwana wa Yosefu, kutoka Nazareti.”
