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,
2The same was in the beginning with God.
2E ko Ade dog degraret.
3All things were made through him. 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 the life was the light of men.
4Eded abi dog; a eded gaire le daratkeda.
5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.
5Abele be de daratkeda muige kupkupi ge; a kupkup nole arpeir kak.
6There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
6Ege nerute le tabaruk, Ade de temariklu, nei atker Ioane.
7The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
7E dali tabaruk ageakarem, abele lugem ko datki ageakarem, epe gaire le uridili odaratare abielam.
8He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
8E dali nole abele datki, E tabaruk ko ageakarem datki penoka ekas.
9The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
9Abele datki kar, ko daratkeare gaire le uridili, sepem tabarkare.
10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
10E geseb ge, a geseb abi atagemlam, a geseb nole abi ardar kak.
11He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him.
11E abara boai tabaruk, a abara boai nole abi agaret kak.
12But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:
12Ui uridili abi egardare, a odaratarare abi nei de, E uiabim adigir nakuarare ko Ade ra omasker:
13who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
13Uiaba nole mamlam aosos, a nole gem ra lag, a nole le ra lag, epe Adelam.
14The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of 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 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.’”
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 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 were realized through Jesus Christ.
17Abele gelar Mose de dekuarare, abele omare a ageakar tonar, Iesu Kerisolam.
18No one has seen God at any time. The only born Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.
18Nole le Ade asmer kak; epe abara Uerem tepteb taba Aba ra marmot, E etomeret.
19This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem 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 declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.”
20E natomertare, a nole agem kak; a mamoro natomertare, kega, Kaka nole Keriso.
21They asked him, “What then? 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.
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?”
22Uiaba abi detagerare, kega, Ma nete? Ma natkar keribi uiabim tedautare keribi pe tedemarida. Nako mara mer marielam?
23He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
23E detaut, kega, Kaka kodo ereretikrili soge purge, kega, Barditugili Iehoua ra gab, mokakalam Isaia perofeta detauter.
24The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
24Uader Faresaio taramarkare.
25They asked 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?
26John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.
26Ioane uiabim etkalu, kega, Kaka bapataiso ni de; nerute uabi eipu ekuei uaba asmer kak,
27He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”
27E dali kari sorge ikas au kale kari tumem, kaka nole abkoreb ko detue abara teter gab mukub.
28These things were done in 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, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, 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, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’
30E dali kari atautelam, kega, Nerute le kari sorge ikas au kale kari tumge; abelelam E kekiam, ka keubu.
31I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”
31Kaka nole abi ardar kak; debele abi etomer Isaraela ibim, abelelam kaka tabaruk ko bapataiso ni de.
32John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
32Ioane de ageakarem, a detager, kega, Kaka Lamar Zogo dasmer kotorlam tepelu dibadiba ise, a abi kerem ge egimulu.
33I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in 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 have testified that this is the Son of God.”
34Kaka dasmer, a kaka ageakarem, kega, Ade ra Uerem pedali.
35Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
35Iako iuaokaer, Ioane ekueilu, a neis abara kaimeg giz;
36and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
36E Iesu dasmer, ekasereder, E daratager, kega, Ua dasmeram Ade ra Arenio!
37The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
37Abele neis kaimeg abara mer aserei, ui darali Iesu irmilei.
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?”
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?
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.
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.
40One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
40Nerute le uiabielam Ioane aserei, a abi irmilei, pe Anederea, Simona Peteru ra keimer.
41He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
41E kekiam erdalu abara keimer Simona, a abi detager, kega, Ki Mesaia erdali, (tonar abele nei, Keriso.)
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).
42E Iesuim egaredelu. Iesu abi dasmer, a detager, kega, Ma Simona Iona ra uerem; mari nei natkeri Kefa, (tonar abele nei, Peteru.)
43On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
43Iuaokaer, Iesu laglag Galalaiem bakeam, E Filipo erdalu, a abi detager, Kari narmili.
44Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
44Filipo Bethesaidalam, uteb Anederea a Peteru.
45Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: 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.
46Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
46Nathaniela de abi detager, kega, Nako, umelo nerute debe lu ua tabakeamur Nazaretalam? Filipo abi detager, Ma tabakeam dasmer.
47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
47Iesu Nathaniela dasmer abim tabakeam, a abi detager, kega, Dasmer, Isaraela kar, nole bes kak abi dog!
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.”
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.
49Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”
49Nathaniela abim etkalu, kega, Rabi, ma Ade ra Uerem, a Isaraela ra Opole.
50Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? 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.
51He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, 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.
