Yuhana 3
1 Nkon ku Farisawa wa duku lissame Nikodimus, awa di nin tigo nanya kudaru na Yahudawa.
There was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 Unit une wa dak kitin Yesu nin kitik a woroghe, “Rabbi, tiyiru fe unan dursuzu nanitari unuzu kiti Kutelle, bara na umong wasa asu ukama nilenge imone na udin suze se dei Kutelle di ninghe.”
This man came to Jesus by night, and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”
3 Yesu kawaghe aworo, “kidegenere andi na imara unit tutung ba, na awasa ayene kipin tigo Kutelle ba.”
Jesus answered and told him, “Most assuredly, I tell you, unless one is born again, that person can’t see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nikodimu woroghe, “Ima kuru imaru unit inyizari na amal ti kukune? Na awasa apira liburi nna me imaraghe unba ba, awasa ayinnua?”
Nicodemus asked Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He can’t go back into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?”
5 Yesu kawa, aworo, “Kidegenere ndin bellu minu, andi na imara unit nanya nmyen nin Ruhu ba, na awasa apira nanya kipin tigo Kutelle ba.”
Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I tell you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, that one can’t enter the Kingdom of God.
6 Imong ilenge na ina maru nanya kidowo, kidowari, a ilenge na ina maru nanya Ruhu, uruhuari.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Na iwase uzikpu bara na nbellin minu, 'uso gbas ikuru imacu minu tutung.'
Don’t marvel that I told you, ‘You must be born again.’
8 Ufunu din ko udu kusari ko na unya udue. Asa ilanza uduwe, nani na iyiru kiti kanga na unuzu ku sa kiti kanga na udin cinu udue ba. Nanere wang unit ulenge na imaraghe nanyan Ruhu”
The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but can’t tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Nikodimu kawa, aworo, “Inyizari imon ilele ma yitu nani?”
Nicodemus asked Him, “How can these things be?”
10 Yesu kawaghe, aworo, “Fe unan dursuzu nanan Israila, vat nani, na uyinno ilenge imone ba?
“Are you Israel’s teacher,” asked Jesus, “and yet you don’t understand these things?
11 Kidegenere, tidin belu ilenge imon nati yiru, ti din belu ilenge na tiyene, vat nani na anughe nsere uliru bite ba.
Most assuredly, I tell you, we speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.
12 Asa nbelin minu ubelen nimon nle uye a na anung yinna mun ba, ima yinnu inyizari nwa bellin ubelen nimon kitene kutelle?
If I have told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13 Na umong nsa ghana kitene kani ba, se dei ulenge na ana tolu unzu kitene kani.
No one has ever gone up into Heaven except the one who came from Heaven — the Son of Man.
14 Nafo na Musa wa ghantin fiyii nanya ntene, nanere wang uso gbas i ghantin Usaun Nnit kitene.
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
that everyone who believes in Him should not die, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Bara Kutelle nati usu inyii ulele, amini na ni gono kinin kirum cas, vat nlenge na ayinna ninghe, na ama nanu ba, ama se ulai un saligang. (aiōnios g166)
For God so sincerely loved the world that He gave His only born Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Na Kutelle natu Gono me nanya nyie ada molu uyie ba, nani uyie nan se utucu unuzume.
For God didn’t send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
18 Ulenge na ayinna ninghe na ima molughe ba. Ulenge na ayinna ninghe ba imal ciughe nca nkul bara na ayinna nin lissan Gono Kutelle ba.
Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever doesn’t believe is condemned already because that person has not believed in the name of God’s only Son.
19 ILenge imonere finu nsharawe, nworu nkanang na dak nanya inyii, anit ani nadi nin su nnsirti a na nkannanghe ba bara na adadumine an sirtiari.
This is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, but people sincerely loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 Bara vat nlenge na adin su adadu nsirti din su ivira tutung na ama dak kiti nkanangghe ba bara katwa me wa nuzu kanang.
Everyone who practices evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
21 Vat nani, ulenge na adin su kidegen ma dak kitin kanang adadu me nan yita fang nyenju tutung inin damun ubun Kutelle unuzu nyinnu nin Kutelle.”
Whoever practices the truth comes to the light to show clearly that their deeds have been done with God.”
22 Kimal nani, Yesu nin nono katwa me wa nya udu nmyin Yahudiya. Awa di dandaun kikane ligowe nanghinu acin shinto anit nmyen.
After this, Jesus and His disciples went out into the countryside of Judea, where He remained with them, and baptized.
23 Yuhana tutung wadi nshitu nanite in Ayinon kupo in Salim bara nmyen wadiku gbardang. Anit wa dasu kitime a shinto nani nmyen,
John was also baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there, and people kept coming to be baptized.
24 Na iwa di isa tursu Yuhana ku kilari licine ba.
John had not yet been thrown into prison.
25 Mayardang fita kiyetik nnono katwa in Yuhana nin nkon ku Yahudawaaa in belen nwesu ulau.
There were some questions between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purification.
26 I do kiti in Yuhana i woroghe, “Unan dursuzu niyerte, ulenge na ani yita ninfi nleli ugau kurawan urdunghe, ame ulenge na uni su uliru kitene me, yene adin shintu anit nmyen, tutung vat din cinu kiti me.”
They came to John and told him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, that you have testified about — look, He is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to Him!”
27 Yuhana kawa nani, “Na unit wasa a sere imonmong ba, andi na inaghe unuzu kiti Kutelle ba.
John replied, “A man can receive nothing, unless it’s given to him from Heaven.
28 Anung nin nati mine wasa ileoyi unanba, nlire na belle. 'Na meghari Kriste ba' nna woro, 'ina tuyi nbun mere.'
You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I’m not the Christ, but I have been sent ahead of Him.’
29 Ulenge na adinin wani upese, unan kifu kudanari. Nengene udo tiyom, ulenge na ayisina alanza, asa asu liburi libo kang bara liwui kwanyane. Nengene liburi libo nin nkulo.
The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and rejoices when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. This joy of mine is now made complete.
30 Uma so gbas ame kpizinku, meng cazin.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 Ulenge na ana dak unuzu kitene, di kinen vat. Ulenge na ana nuzu kutyin kunan kutyinari akuru adin belu nimon kutyin. Ulenge na ana nuzu kitene kani di kitenen koyan.
“He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the Earth belongs to the Earth and speaks of the Earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all.
32 Adin su uliru nimon ilenge na ana yene akuru alanza, nani na umon wasa asere uliru me ba.
He testifies about what He has seen and heard, but no one accepts His testimony.
33 Ulenge na asere uliru me ayinna Kutelle kidegenare.
The man who has accepted His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
34 Ame ulenge na Kutelle na tughe din bellu uliru Kutelle. Bara na adin guccu uruhu me anin na unin ba.
The one that God has sent speaks God’s words, for God gives the Spirit without measure.
35 Ucife dinin su Nsaune, amini nani imon vat nacara me.
The Father sincerely loves the Son, and has given everything into His hand.
36 Ulenge na ayinna nin Saune di nin lai nsali ligang, ame ulenge na ayinna nin Saune ba, ama yenu ulai ba, nani tinana nayi Kutelle sossin litime. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son won’t see life, for God’s wrath remains on that person.” (aiōnios g166)
