Yohana 3
1 igu ri ahi bafarise ba yomi niko dimu a hi tuzan ni mi yahudawa
And 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 art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, 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: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot 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 saith 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 again?
5 yesu tre anjaji anjaji indi wa bana la ngrji ni ma mba ruhu na ana ya hiri nitra rjina
Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot 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 born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born 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 thee, you must 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 breatheth where he will; and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 nikodi mu miyen batie ki ma ni he naki?
Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?
10 yesu u miyen i wu u malami ni israila u na toh iri kpe yi na?
Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not 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
Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify what 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 spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you 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 hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended 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 desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting. (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, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting. (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 judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
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 believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in 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 judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works 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 doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
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 doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because 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 there he abode with them, and baptized.
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 baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
24 ba na rigen yo yahaya ni mi tra u tro na
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 u kbonronkpa lude ni mi almajeran yahaya ni indi u yahuda nitu al adun tsarka kewa
And there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews concerning 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 that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 yahaya sa ni bawu idiori na ya fe kperina sei ba no rji ni shulu
John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given 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 do bear me witness, that I said, I am not 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 hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.
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 cometh from above, is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from heaven, is above all.
32 a shaida ikpu iwa awo na toh idiori me tie bre kpa shaida ma
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 indi iwa akpa shaida ma a kpayemmen gbigbi irji a njaji
He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal 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 hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
35 itie kpayemen nl vrena na ka koggen no nriwoma
The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.
