eng: “Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

abt: “Wuna kundi kurkale vékute wuné wandéka yaan duké yékunmba vékulakakwa du dakwa wa de akwi kulémawulé kéraandarén wa. Kéraae de apapu apapu Gorale yékunmba yatépékakandakwa.

Yi wan wanana wa. Gunat wa wawutékwa.” Naandén.


eng: that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.

abt: Akwi du dakwa wuna aapana yé kavérékndakwa pulak, wa wuna yé kavérék-ndarénngé wa wani jémbaa wunat tiyaandén. Wuna yé kavérékngapuk yakwa du dakwa wa de wuné wandéka yaan duna yé waak yamba kavérékndakwe wa.


eng: For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

abt: Wuna aapa néma kot vékukwa néma du rate, du dakwa yandarén muséké det katik kundi waké dé. Wani jémbaa wa tiyaandén wunat. Wuné néma kot vékukwa néma du rate wa yandarén muséké wakawutékwa.


eng: For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

abt: Wuna aapa kiyaan du dakwa wandéka taamale waarape yékunmba yatépékandakwa. Yandékwa pulak wa wuné mawulé yawutékwa du dakwa wawutu de yékunmba yatépéka-kandakwa.


eng: For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

abt: Wuna aapa wunéké mawulé tawulé yate wa déku jémbaa wunat wakwasnyéndékwa. Wunat kukmba wakwasnyéké yandékwa jémbaa wa bulaa a yawutékwa jémbaat taalékéraké yakwa. Wuné wani kulé jémbaa yawutu guné ve vatvat naate vékulaka vékulaka naakangunéngwa, wani jémbaaké.


eng: Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

abt: Wunga yandaka Jisas det anga wandén, “Gunat a wawutékwa. Wuna mawulémba vékulakate jémbaa nak katik yaké wuté. Wuna aapa jémbaa yandéka, wa wuné déku nyaan véte wani jémbaa yawutékwa. Yi wan wanana wa. Wuna aapa yakwa akwi jémbaa wuné waak wa yakawutékwa.


eng: But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”

abt: Yandaka Jisas det anga wandén, “Wuna aapa akwi nyaa wa jémbaa yandékwa. Yandéka wuné waak jémbaa yawutékwa.”


eng: For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

abt: Wunga wandéka vékutake de taale ye Jisasét yaavan kutmuké vékulakandarén, yaap yaré nyaamba wani musé yandénngé.


eng: The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

abt: Wunga wandéka wani du ye Judana néma dusat anga wandén, “Wuné wandéka yékun yan du wan Jisas wa.”


eng: Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

abt: Kukmba Jisas dat Gotna kundi bulndakwa néma gaamba véndén. Vétake wandén, “Ma véku. Bulaa wa yékun yaménén. Kapérandi musé nakapuk yaké yambak. Wuna kundi vékukapuk yamunaaménu néma kapérandi musé ras waak yaakandékwa ménéké.”


eng: But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

abt: Naandaka yamba vésékndékwe wa. Wani taalémba némaamba du dakwa yatanmba yénge véké? Jisas dé wa yén.


eng: Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”

abt: Naandéka dat waatakundarén, “Ména ara kure yaaménénngé kandé wak?”


eng: He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”

abt: Naandaka det wandén, “Du nak wa wandéka yékun yawutéka wunat watakandén, ‘Ména ara ma kéraae kure yé.’ Naandéka wa kure yéwutékwa.”


eng: So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”

abt: Wani nyaa wan nané Judaséna yaap yaré nyaa wa. Wanngé de néma du wani yékun yan duwat anga wandarén, “Nana apakundi vékutake wa wananén, ‘Yaap yaré nyaamba du nak déku musé katik yaate yéké dé.’ Wunga wananén. Bulaa méné katik yaate yéké méné ména ara, yaap yaré nyaamba.”


eng: Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.

abt: Naandéka wani du yékun yandén. Yandéka déku ara kéraae kure yéndén.


eng: The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”

abt: Wunga waatakundéka wani sépé kapére yan du wa wan, “Néma du, gu maakulakndu wunat kéraae gumba kusandana du nak yamba wa. Yénga pulak yaké wuté? Wuna kapmang daaké yawutéka nak du wa taale daakwa wuné taalékérate.”


eng: A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

abt: Kwaakésndarénmba du nak déku sépé kapére yandéka kwaaré késépéri (38) wa randén.


eng: In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;

abt: Némaamba du dakwa baat yate wani gaamba kwaakésndarén. Du dakwa ras méni kiyaan, ras maan kapére yan, du dakwa ras deku sépémaaléna apa akwi liwuréndéka baka kwakwamale kwaakwa apu, wunga kwaakésndarén wani gaamba. [Wani gu maakulakndu véké watake kwaandarén.


eng: for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.

abt: Talimba ras nyaa ras nyaa Gotna kundi kure gaayakwa du nak gaayate wani gumba daawulindéka gu maakulakén. Gu vatmakulakndéka ve wani gumba taale daakwa baan wa yékun yakwa.]

eng: Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.

abt: Jerusalem talimba matut aatmu giye taakandaka awula nyéndémba téndén. Wani aatmumba néma pété ras tékésén. Nakurak male pétémba wa sipsip wulaaténdarén. Wani pété ténale makal gu kwaawu nak wamba tén. Wani gu kwaawuké Hibruna kundimba wandakwa, Betesda. Wani gu wutépmba barenga pulak gaa taambak (5) kwaakésén.


eng: After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

abt: Kukmba Judana néma nyaa nak yaandéka Jisas Jerusalemét yéndén.


eng: This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.

abt: Jisas Judia taakatake Galilimba ye wandéka wani nyaan yékun yan. Jisas talimba vékapuk yandarén kulé apanjémba yatake wani sapak kulé apanjémba nak waak yandén.


eng: So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.

abt: Wunga wandaka aapa vékusék naandén. Nalé Jisasale bulndén sapak male wa déku nyaan yékun yandén. Wunga vékusékte déku kémale sékét akwi Jisaské yékunmba vékulakate déku kundiké anga wandarén, “Yi wan wanana wa.” Naandarén.


eng: So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”

abt: Naandaka det waatakundén, “Yani sapak dé yékun yak?” Waatakundéka wandarén, “Nalé nyaa tépatekundéka wa baat yéput yandén.”


eng: As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”

abt: Yéndéka déku jémbaa yakwa dunyansé yaae yaambumba vétake wandarén, “Ména nyaan dé wa yékun yan.”


eng: Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

abt: Naandéka Jisas wa wan, “Ma yé. Ména nyaan yékun yakandékwa.” Naandéka wani du Jisasna kundi yékunmba vékute wa yéndén.


eng: The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

abt: Naandéka néma du wa wan, “Néma du, ma yaa bari. Yaakapuk yamunaaménu wuna nyaan kiyaakandékwa.”


eng: Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”

abt: Méné wunale ma yaae wuna nyaanét yékun yaménu.” Naandéka wandén Jisas, “Wuné talimba vékapuk yangunén kulé apanjémba yawutu wani sapak male wa guné Got wunat tiyaan mayé apaké yékunmba vékulaka-kangunéngwa.”


eng: When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

abt: De Galilimba yeyé yaayate Kanamba saambakndarén. Jisas talimba wani gaayémba yaréte wandéka wa gumbés kulak waalakwe wain kulak yaalan. Jisas déku dunyansale Judia taakatake Galilit ye Kanamba saambake yaréndaka néma du nak vékundén. Wani néma duna nyaan baat ye Kaperneammba kwaan. Kwaandéka néma du Jisaské yaandén. Yaae dat wandén, “Wuna nyaan ani kiyaakwate yakwa.


eng: So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

abt: Talimba yis kurkapuk yandakwa bret kanangwa sapak de Galili du dakwa ras Jerusalemét yéndarén. Ye véndarén wa Jisas talimba vékapuk yandarén kulé apanjémba yandéka. Vétake deku gaayét waambule ye yare véndarén Jisas deku gaayét yaandéka. Vétake déké mawulé tawulé yandarén. Yate déku kundi vékundarén.

eng: They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

abt: Yate wani taakwat anga wandarén, “Taale nyéna kundimba vékunanén. Vékute Jisaské yékunmba vékulakananén. Yatake kukmba Jisasna kundi vékunanén. Déku kundi vékwe wa bulaa anga vékuséknangwa. Dé ani képmaamba tékwa du dakwa Satanna taambamba kéraaké yakwa du wa. Yi wan wanana wa.” Naandarén Samaria du dakwa.


eng: So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

abt: Yate Jisasét yaae waatakundarén, dé ye dele yaréndénngé. Waatakundaka dele nyaa vétik yaréndén.


eng: From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”

abt: Samaria taakwa lé takamba wani gaayé du dakwat wa walén, “Wani du wuné talimba yawutén akwi muséké wunat wandén.” Wunga waléka Samaria du dakwa rékaamba de Jisaské yékunmba vékulakandarén.


eng: I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

abt: “Kadému kéraakwa du nak duké jébaa yate de déku kadému kérae jawute de yéwaa nyégélu. Guné Gotké jébaa yate kadému kéraakwa du pulak guné ro. Guné wani jébaa yate wuna kudi wakwegunu, de wupmalemu du taakwa jawe wunéké miték sanévéknwute kulé mawulé kérae, miték rasaakuké de yo apuba apuba. Rado Got guna yéknwun jébaa kaataké dé yo.

eng: Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

abt: Guné kakému yaanantake wangunéngwa, ‘Kakému kéraaké yanangwa baapmu vétik vétik wa tékwa.’ Wangunénga gunat wawutékwa: Bulaa kéraakangunéngwa. Ma véngunu. Samaria du dakwa némaamba wa, de wa yaakwa. Bulaa deku mawulé wa yékunmba tékwa, kéraangunéngwa kakému yékun ye tékwa pulak. Bulaa wunéké vékulakate wuna kundiké, ‘Yi wan wanana wa,’ naakandakwa.


eng: Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

abt: Wunga wandaka det wandén, “Wuna kakému anga wa. Wuné wandéka yaan duna kundi vékukawutékwa. Vékute tiyaandén jémbaa ye yasékéyak-ngawutékwa. Wan wuna kakému pulak wa.


eng: The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”

abt: Naandéka déku dunyan dekét deku kapmang bulte anga wandarén, “Du nak dat kakému ras ka kure yaae kwayéna?” Naandarén.


eng: But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

abt: Naandaka wandén, “Wuna kakému wa rakwa. Guné yamba ve wa.”


eng: In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

abt: Yaambumba yaaténdaka Jisasna dunyan dat anga wandarén, “Néma du, méné kakému ma kana.”


eng: They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

abt: Wunga waléka gaayé taakatake Jisaské yaandarén.


eng: “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”

abt: Yanaka lé wani taakwa gu tulékwa mu kulaknyénytakne lé gayét gwaamale yék. Ye lé du taakwat las wak, “Yae guné dut nak véké yo. Déknyényba wunat kaapuk védén. Yate déknyényba yawurén akwi muké dé wunat wakwek. Dé Got wadén ban Krais, kapu yaga pulak?”


eng: Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”

abt: Jisas wunga waténdéka wa déku dunyan kakému kéraae kure nakapuk waambule yaandarén. Yaae taakwa nakale bulténdéka vétake vat naae vékulaka vékulaka naandarén. Ye yamba wandakwe, “Kamu musé kéraakwate nyéné yo? Kamuké méné lale bulto?” Wunga yamba wandakwe wa.


eng: The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”

abt: Wunga wandéka walén, “Got wan du Mesaia déku nak yé Krais dé yaakandékwa, nanat yékun yaké. Wuné wunga vékuwutén. Dé yaae akwi kundi kwayékandékwa nanat.”


eng: God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

abt: Got kwaminyan pulak wa randékwa. Déku sépé yamba yé wa. Du dakwa dé yamba véndakwe wa. Gorké yékunmba vékulakakwa du dakwa déku kundiké, ‘Yi wan wanana wa,’ naate deku mawulémba déku yé kavérék-ngandakwa.” Naandén.


eng: But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.

abt: Nana aapa Gotna kundi yékunmba vékukwa du dakwa de déku kundiké, ‘Yi wan wanana wa,’ naate deku mawulémba déku yé kavérék-ngandakwa. Wani du dakwa déku yé kavérékndarénngé wa mawulé yandékwa. Déku yé wunga kavérékndara sapak a yaakwa.


eng: You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

abt: Guné Samariasé Gorké vékusékngapuk ye wa déku yé kavérékngunéngwa. Nané Judasé nané Gorké vékuséke wa déku yé kavéréknangwa. Du dakwana kapérandi mawulé kururéna baan Juda du wuné anana.


eng: Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

eng: The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

abt: Naandéka walén, “Néma du, wuné wa vésékménéngwa. Méné Gotna yémba kundi kwayékwa du wa. Bulaa wunga wa vékusékwutékwa.


eng: for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

abt: Talimba du taambakale (5) yatényénén. Bulaa a ranyénéngwa du wan nyéna du yamba wa. Wunga wa wanyénén. Yi wan wanana wa.”


eng: The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

abt: Naandéka walén, “Wuné du yamba yé wa.” Naaléka wandén, “Yi wan wanana wa.


eng: Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

abt: Lé wunga waléka wandén, “Ma ye nyéna du waanyénu yaandu kure yaa.”


eng: The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

abt: Naandéka dat walén, “Néma du, wani kulak bulaa ma tiyaaménu wunat. Tiyaaménu séré, maa, wunat katik kwaalé rékandang yaké dé. Nakapuk katik yaae ani vaakulakmba tuké wuté.” Naate lé déku gwaaménja kundi yamba kurkale vékuséklékwe. Lé kulakngé wa walén. Dé kulémawuléké wa wandén.


eng: Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

abt: Naaléka wandén Jisas, “Akwi du dakwa wani kulak kandaru deku kwaalé rékandang yawuréké yakwa.


eng: Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”

abt: Nana gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamu Jekop wa tiyaan ani vaakulak nanat. Déku nyambalé, sipsip bulmakau, dé waak ani kulakmba wa kandarén. Ména jémbaa déku jémbaat taalékérandénngé méné wunga wo, kapuk yénga pulak yandénngé?”


eng: The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

abt: Wunga wandéka lé déku kundi vékusékngapuk ye anga walén, “Néma du, méné kulak tu musé nak yamba yé wa. Ani vaakulak andalamba wa rakwa. Wa waménéngwa kulak yamba tuké méné?


eng: Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

abt: Waléka Jisas wa wan, “Bulaa nyénat kulakngé yaawiwutén. Got kwayékwa yéku musé vésékte wuné waak vésékmunaae nyéné wunat nak pulak kulakngé wakanyénéngwa. Nyéné wani kulak katake yékunmba yarépéka-kanyénéngwa.” Wunga wate du dakwa kulémawulé kéraae yékunmba yatépékamuké wa gwaaménja kundi wandén.


eng: The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

abt: Naandéka lé Samaria taakwa wa wan, “Méné Juda du wa. Wuné Samaria taakwa a. Yénge kulak kwayéwuténngé méné yaawiyu?” Naalén. Judasé Samariasale yamba yeyé yaaténdakwe wa. Wanngé wa walén.


eng: So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

abt: Ye Samariana gaayé nakmba saambakndarén. Wani gaayéna yé Sikar wa. Wani gaayé tékwanmba, néma baan némbu nak tékwa. Talimba nana gwaal, waaranga, maandéka bakamu Jekop wa déku nyaan Josepét kwayén wani képmaa. Sikar wani képmaa tékwanmba wa téndékwa.


eng: Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

abt: Wani taaléba gu tuwe kadakwa waagu dé nak tu. Déknyényba Jekop dé vaak wani waagu. Jisas séknaaba yae wani waagu tékwa saabadéka yaap yadéka dé wani waagu tékwaba rak. Nyaa nawuréké yadéka dé waba rak.


eng: For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

eng: He needed to pass through Samaria.

Vékutake Judia distrik taakatake Galili distrikét nakapuk yémuké watake Samaria distrikét yéndakwa yaambumba déku dunyansé dale sékét yéndarén.


eng: One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

abt: Gotna nyaanngé yékunmba vékulakakwa du dakwa kulémawulé kéraae apapu apapu yékunmba yatépéka-kandakwa. Déku kundi vékukapuk yakwa du dakwa kulémawulé katik kéraaké daré. Got apapu apapu wani du dakwat rakarka yandu de katik yékunmba yatésékéyakngé daré.

abt: Déku aapa Got déké néma mawulé yandékwa. Yate dat wa wandén, dé néma du rate akwi du dakwa, salmu walmuké waak yékunmba véndénngé.

abt: Gotna jémbaaké vésékéyake, vékusékéyaktake wa det wandékwa. Wandéka de déku kundi vékumuké kalik yandakwa.


eng: “He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

abt: Anjorémba yaae képmaat gaayan du dé akwi du dakwana néma du wa. Ani képmaamba tékwa du de képmaana musé aséké male wa vékusékndakwa. Anjorémba gaayan du det yasandawure dé akwi muséké vékusékéyak-wuréndékwa wa.

eng: He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore my joy is made full.

eng: But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

eng: This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.

abt: Jisas yéku yaa vérékngwa téwaayé pulak téte wa ani képmaat yaandén. Yaandéka du dakwa kapéremusé yate ganngumba téké wa mawulé yandarén. Wani yaa kalik yandarén. Wani yaa kalik yandarénngé, Got waarukandékwa det.

abt: Nikodemus wunga waatakundéka wandén, “Méné Judana néma du wa téménéngwa. Yénge méné wani muséké vékukapuk yak?


eng: Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”

abt: Naandéka wandén, “Wani musé yénga pulak yaké dé?” Naandén.


eng: The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

abt: Wimut kutte dékét déku kapmang yeyé yaayandékwa. Yeyé yaayate waandéka wa vékuménéngwa. Vékute yamba vésékménéngwe wa. Yamba dé yaakwo? Yamba dé yékwaau?

Adél wuné ménat wakweyo.”


eng: Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”

abt: Naandéka vékusékngapuk ye waatakundén, “Aanyapa yan du dakwa yénga pulak ye nakapuk vatpuniye kulé du dakwa yaréké daré? Kalmu makalkéri nyaan ye aasana biyaamba wulaandaru aasa nakapuk waambule kéraaké daré, kapuk yénga pulak yaké daré?” Naandén.


eng: Jesus answered him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

abt: Wunga wandéka Jisas dat wandén, “Wawutékwa kundi kurkale ma vékuménu. Du dakwa vatpuniye nakapuk kulé du dakwa yaalakapuk yamunaandaru Got néma du rate deké katik yékunmba véké dé. Yandu de Gotna du dakwa katik yaréké daré.”


eng: Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

abt: Du nak yaréndén. Déku yé Nikodemus. Dé Judana néma du nak wa. Wani du dé Farisi du wa.


eng: He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”

abt: Wani du nak gaan Jisaské ye dat wandén, “Néma du, ménat Got wandéka wa yaaménén, déku kundi nanat yakwasnyéké. A vénangwa. Baka du talimba vékapuk yananén kulé apanjémba méné yakwa pulak katik yaké dé. Got ménale randéka wa méné wani apanjémba yaménéngwa.” Naandén.

eng: But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

abt: Naate wadaka dé Jisas deku mawulé kutdéngék. Deku kudi bakna kudi. Déké kaapuk miték sanévéknwudan. Waga kutdéngte dé de wale kaapuk tédén.


eng: and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

eng: He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables.

abt: Wunga yaténdaka véndén Jisas. Vétake kalik yandén. Ye makal baangwi kéraae apa jorik léngwiyenydén. Léngwiyenye kure téte wamba rakésén dunyan, sipsip, bulmakau, akwi kewurésalendén. Kewurésaletéte wani yéwaa kéraaréndarén jaambé taakungéru yasnyéndéka wani yéwaa guriksandan.

eng: After this, he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they stayed there a few days.

abt: Wani kakému katake Jisas, deku aasa, déku waayékanje, déku dunyan wunga yéndarén, Kaperneamét. Ye nyaa ras wani gaayémba yaréndarén.

abt: Ané Jonna kudi véknwutakne ané Jisasna kukba yék. Du nak déku yé Andru wan Saimonna wayékna. Saimonna nak yé Pita.

Wuné du dakwa yarékapuk taalémba yatéte anga wawutékwa, ‘Néman Du yaanda yaambu ma kururéngunék.’ Wuné Aisaiana kundi vékute wa ani kundi wawutékwa.

eng: The 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.

eng: But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:

abt: De ras déku kundi yékunmba vékundarén. Vékute wandarén, “Dé nana néma du wa.” Wunga wandaka dé wandéka de Gotna nyambalésé wa téndakwa.

eng: They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

eng: While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.

abt: Waatakutéte de yaasékandéka Got dé déku gaayét kure waaréndén.


eng: He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

eng: He took them, and ate in front of them.

abt: Kwayéndaka kéraae kandéka véndarén.


eng: They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

abt: Wunga waatakundéka tutakandaka ran gukwami dat kwayéndarén.

eng: When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

abt: [Wunga watake déku maan taamba det wakwasnyéndén, raaményét baangndarén wani katak véndarénngé].


eng: See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”

abt: Wunga wandaka det wandén, “Kamuké guné vatvat naau? Kamuké guné guna mawulémba vékulaka vékulaka naau?


eng: But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

abt: Téndéka de vatvat naae wup yate deku mawulémba anga wandarén, “Wa gaamba dé.”


eng: As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

abt: Bét wani kundi watémbéréka dékét Jisas déku kapmang yaae deku nyéndémba téndén.


eng: They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

abt: Yatake bérku kapmang bulte anga wambérén, “Aané yaambumba yaatéka Gotna nyéngaamba kwaakwa kundiké aanat wandéka, wa aana mawulé yékun yan. Yi wan wanana wa.” Naambérén.

abt: Kwayéndéka bét bari dé vésék naambérén. Vésékmbéréka wamba yamba randékwe. Bét dé yamba vémbérékwe.


eng: When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave it to them.

abt: Rate kakému kaké yate bret kéraae Gorét anga wandén, “Yéku kakému a tiyaaménén nanat. Wan yékun wa.” Wunga watake bret bule bérét kwayéndén.


eng: They urged him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.” He went in to stay with them.

abt: Yambuyambu bulaakét ye bét yéké yén gaayémba saambakngé yaténdarén. Ye saambake Jisas nakapuk yékwate yandén.


eng: Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

abt: Wunga watake Moses déké viyaatakandén kundi, Gotna yémba kundi kwayétan akwi dunyan déké viyaatakandarén kundiké waak bérét wandén.


eng: Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”

eng: But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

eng: While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them.

abt: Bulte yébétka dé Jisas kapmu yae dé bét wale yék.


eng: But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

abt: Yéténdéka dat véte yamba vésékmbérékwe.

eng: They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.

abt: Bét yéte Jisas kiyaanngé saapélaakét yétémbérén. Saapéte Jisaské dakwasé wan muséké waak saapé yémbérén.


eng: Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.

eng: But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.

abt: [Yandaka Pita waarape pétépété yéndén Jisasna pusaa rémndarén kwaawut. Ye kwaatambe yaasole véndén pusaamba saaptakandarén laplap male randéka. Vétake waambule déku gaat yéte vékulaka vékulaka naayéndén wani muséké.]

abt: Wani kundi saapéndaka vékutake de Jisasna dunyan wa wan, “Wa paapu wa yandakwa. Wa yaambumba kundi wa.” Naatake deku kundi yamba vékundakwe.


eng: returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

abt: Wani kundi Jisasna dunyansat saapan dakwasé, wan Makdala taakwa Maria, Joana, nak Maria lé Jemsna aasa, ras dele sékét yaréndarén dakwa waak.


abt: Jisasna duwat wani kudi wakwen taakwa wan Makdalaba yaan taakwa Maria, Joana, Jemsna néwaa Maria, taakwa las wawo.


eng: They remembered his words,

abt: Bérku kundi vékutake wani dakwasé Jisas talimba wandén kundiké vékulakandarén.

abt: Dé amba yamba re wa. Dé wa nakapuk taamale waarapén. Dé Galilimba yatéte gunat wani wandén kundiké ma vékulakangunék.


eng: Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. The men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?

abt: Témbéréka de wup ye kwaati se saawi képmaat tindarén. Yandaka anga wambérén, “Kamu yaké guné waaku kiyangambana taalémba taamale waarape kulé rakwa duké?

abt: Yatake wani muséké wamba téte vékulaka vékulaka naaténdaka du vétik gaaye dele témbérén. Bérku laplap wamatama ye kalkal naan.


eng: They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body.

eng: They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

abt: Ye véndarén wani kwaawumba kétaaktépéndarén matu varémansati-takandaka randéka.

eng: The women who had come with him out of Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.

abt: Galilimba Jisasale yaan dakwasé Josepna kukmba ye véndarén dé Jisasna pusaamba yéku yaama yakwa musé kurkapuk baka taakandéka. Taakandén taalé waak véndarén.


eng: He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.

abt: Waatakundéka yi naandéka ye Jisasna pusaa lepékwe kure gaaye waama laplapét saape kwaawumba taakandén. Wani kwaawu talimba Josep dékét déku jémbaa yakwa dunyansé wa matumba vaae wulaan. Talimba wani kwaawumba kiyaan duna pusaa nak yamba taakandakwe wa.

abt: Wani du ye Romna néma du Pailarét waatakundén Jisasna pusaa kéraamuké.


eng: (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.

abt: Yandéka Jisas némaanmba anga waandén, “Aapa wa, wuna kwaminyan ména taambamba a taakawutékwa.” Watake wunga kiyaandén.

abt: Naandéka wandén, “Jisas, méné apamama ye du dakwaké néma du raké waambule yaate wunéké ma vékulakaménu.”


eng: And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

abt: Kapérandi musé yaténngé aané viyaandaru wan yékun wa. Ani du kapérandi musé nak yamba yandékwe wa.”

eng: The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”

eng: Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

abt: Jisas takwemimba baangtakandaka anga wandén, “Aapa, ani wunat yandakwa kapérandi muséké vékulakate méné det waambule yakataké yambak. De yamba vékusékndakwe wa yandakwa muséké.” Naandén Jisas.

abt: Pailat wandéka de Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa dunyanséna néma dunyan, Israelséna néma dunyan, némaamba du dakwa waak yaae jaawundarén.

eng: He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

abt: Yate Jisasét késépéri muséké waatakundén. Waatakundéka Jisas déku kundi nak yamba waambule wandékwe.


eng: Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.

abt: Talimba Herot Jisaské kundi vékutake dé véké wa mawulé yaréndén. Ye késépéri baapmu Jisas vékapuk yaréndéka wani sapak dé déké kure yaandaka Herot dat véte mawulé tawulé wa yandén. Jisas talimba vékapuk yandén kulé apanjémba nak déku ménimba yandu véké wa mawulé yate dusék yandén.

abt: Wunga ye de wani néma dunyansé akwi waarape Jisas Romna néma du déku yé Pailat, déké kure yéndarén.


eng: They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”

abt: Wunga wandéka de akwi wandarén, “Yénga méné wo? Méné Gotna nyaan méné, kapuk yénga méné?” Naandéka wandén, “Yi. Gunékét guné wa wunga wakwa.”

eng: As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,

abt: Wunga wandéka Pita wa wan, “Méno, wa waménéngwa kundi wuné yamba vékwe wa.” Wunga waké naaténdéka séraa nak bari waan.

abt: Wunga wandaka det anga wandén, “Bulaa gunat anga wawutékwa. Guné yéwaa kure témunaae yéwaa ma kure yéngunék. Guné wut kure témunaae wut ma kure yéngunék. Waariyangunéngwa kulaa kurerékapuk ye, guna laplap nak kwayéte yéwaa kéraae waariyangunéngwa kulaa ma kéraangunék.
