Yohana 3
1 igu ri ahi bafarise ba yomi niko dimu a hi tuzan ni mi yahudawa
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 igua lu wa yesu ye ni chu na yo Rabbi ki tohwu u malami wawu tsi ni rji ki toh idiori na toh tie kpe wa wu si tie yinna se orji he niwu
This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.
3 yesu sa niwu njanji njanji indi wa ba na la ngriji a na ana toh iko irjina
Jesus answered and said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, unless a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God.
4 nikodemu a miyen bati ni heri na la ngrji indi iwa a ce ye? ana ya kban hi ri ni minen yima ba ka la ngrjina ani iya?
Nicodemus said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother’s womb the second time, and be born?
5 yesu tre anjaji anjaji indi wa bana la ngrji ni ma mba ruhu na ana ya hiri nitra rjina
Jesus answered: Verily, verily I say to you, unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God.
6 ikpe wa ba ngrji ni konkbon kpa ahi kobonkpa iwa ba ngrji ni kon ruhu ahi u ruhu
That which is begotten of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is begotten of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 na tie sisir na ni tu wa me hla ni wu a hi gbigbi ndu ba la ngri wu
Wonder not that I said to you, you must all be born again,
8 ngyugyu ni fuw hi ni werji a wa a ni son a u ya wo chu ma iwu na toh ka a rjini tsen ka ni hi ni tsen na anaki indi waba ngrji u ni ruhu a
The Spirit breathes where he pleases, and you hear his voice, but you know not whence he comes, and whither he goes; so is every one that is begotten of the Spirit.
9 nikodi mu miyen batie ki ma ni he naki?
Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be?
10 yesu u miyen i wu u malami ni israila u na toh iri kpe yi na?
Jesus answered and said to him: Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
11 njaji njaji mi si hla ni wu kisi tre kpr wa ki toh ni shaida ni yiwu na ki me bina kpa shaida buna
Verily, verily, I say to you, we speak that which we know, and testify to that which we have seen; and you receive not our testimony.
12 mi tie hla niwu ikpe wa ahe ni gbungbolo yi i wuna kpayemen na u tie ni heni kpayemen ni tre wa mi hla niwu u shulu
If I have told you of earthly things, and you believe not, how will you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 idiori na hon hi ni shu toh na se wawu wa a grji rji ni shu yea sei vren indi
And no man has ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven.
14 na wa musa a zu wan hi ni shu ni miji na ki me gbigbi ba zu ivren ndi hi shu
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up;
that whoever believes on him may not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 niwa irji a lo suron ni gbungbulua kpukpome na ban ivren ma riri no wa a ka suron ma no wa ka que na kason ni viri hi ni tuntur (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 irji bachi ana ton verri ye ni ndu ye ka gbungbulu a suto na amma ni ndu kpa ba chuwo
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through him, might be saved.
18 indi wa ayo suron ma niwu kana tie meme na u indi wa ana yo suron ma niwuna atie meme ye ni tu wa ana yo suron ma ni mi nde ivren ciriti na
He that believes on him is not condemned; but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 a ni tu kima ibla tre he ni tu wa ikpan ye ni gbungbulua u ndi ba son bwu zankpan ni tu meme tie mba
And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 wawuu indi wa ani tie meme kpe a ni kama ni kpan nda na ni hi ni kpan na don ndu bana toh meme tie mana
For every one that does evil, hates the light, and comes not to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
21 sei indi wa ani tie njanji ani ye ni kpan nitu tie ma wa ba toh ni rira me a ndi da ni tie niwu rji
But he that does the truth, comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest that they are done in God.
22 ni kogon kima yesu ni almajeran ma ba lu hi yanki igbu judea ni ki ason hi ni ton ri niba natie batisma
After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea, and he remained there with them, and immersed.
23 yahaya me ni tie batisma ni aino whiwhire ni salim nitu ima he ni ki babran indi baye niwu wani ti batisma
And John also was immersing in Ænon, near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed;
24 ba na rigen yo yahaya ni mi tra u tro na
for John had not yet been thrown into prison.
25 u kbonronkpa lude ni mi almajeran yahaya ni indi u yahuda nitu al adun tsarka kewa
There arose, therefore, a dispute between some of John’s disciples and a Jew, about purification.
26 ba luhi ni yahaya na tre Rabbi indi wa a he niwu ni gran ne urdun wa u shaidu wu toh asi tie batisma indi wawu ba si hi niwu
And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, behold, he immerses, and all are going to him.
27 yahaya sa ni bawu idiori na ya fe kperina sei ba no rji ni shulu
John answered and said: A man can receive nothing unless it be given to him from heaven.
28 biyi ni tubi bi to mi hla ni a na imeyin me Almasihuna ba ton me ye guci niwu
You yourselves will testify for me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 iwa sah ahi u lon ma ikpan glon zizan ikpana kri siwowu a si ngir ni wa asi wo lan likona ingir mu a shu mala
He that has the bride, is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly on account of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, is therefore complete.
30 a hi gbibbi ni ndu shu babran u me grji ye meme
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 wawu iwa a rji ni shu a zan indi wawu
He that comes from above, is over all. He that is from the earth, is from the earth, and speaks from the earth. He that comes from heaven, is over all;
32 a shaida ikpu iwa awo na toh idiori me tie bre kpa shaida ma
and what he has seen and heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony.
33 indi iwa akpa shaida ma a kpayemmen gbigbi irji a njaji
He that has received his testimony has solemnly declared that God is true.
34 indi wa irji ton a ani tre ni lan u rji ana no ruhu a ni tsara tsara na
For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him.
35 itie kpayemen nl vrena na ka koggen no nriwoma
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
