Yohana 3
1 igu ri ahi bafarise ba yomi niko dimu a hi tuzan ni mi yahudawa
Now there was a man among the Pharisees whose name was 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
The same went to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that you have come as a teacher from God, because no one can do these signs that you do unless God is 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, “Most assuredly I say to you, unless someone is begotten from Above, he is not able to 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 says to Him: “How can a man be begotten, being old? He can't enter his mother's womb a second time and be born, can he?”
5 yesu tre anjaji anjaji indi wa bana la ngrji ni ma mba ruhu na ana ya hiri nitra rjina
Jesus answered: “Most assuredly I say to you, unless someone is begotten by water and Spirit he is not able to enter 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 has been begotten by the flesh is flesh, and that which has been begotten by the Spirit is spirit.
7 na tie sisir na ni tu wa me hla ni wu a hi gbigbi ndu ba la ngri wu
Do not be perplexed that I said to you, ‘You (pl) need to be begotten from Above.’
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 wind blows where it wishes, and you (sg) hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who has been begotten by 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: “You are the teacher of Israel, yet you 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
Most assuredly I say to you, we speak what we know and testify to what we have seen, but you (pl) do not receive 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 earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I should tell you the heavenly?
13 idiori na hon hi ni shu toh na se wawu wa a grji rji ni shu yea sei vren indi
No one has gone up into Heaven except the One who came down out of Heaven —the Son of the 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
Also, just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, just so the Son of the Man must be lifted up,
so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should 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)
Because God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should 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 did not send His Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through 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
The one believing into Him is not condemned, but the one not believing has already been condemned, because he has not believed into 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
“Now this is the basis for the condemning, that the Light has come into the world, but the people loved the darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were malignant.
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 whoever practices evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds may not 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 whoever does the truth comes to the Light so that his deeds may be clearly seen, 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, with His disciples, went into the Judean countryside, and there He spent time 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
Now John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salem, because there was plenty of water there. And people were coming and being baptized;
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
Then some of John's disciples had an argument with a Judean 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
So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the One who was with you across the Jordan, about whom you have testified—well, here He is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to Him!”
27 yahaya sa ni bawu idiori na ya fe kperina sei ba no rji ni shulu
John answered and said: “A person can receive nothing unless it has been 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 can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent ahead of 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 who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and hears him, has great joy at the bridegroom's voice. So this my joy has been 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 who comes from Above is above all; he who is from the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all.
32 a shaida ikpu iwa awo na toh idiori me tie bre kpa shaida ma
And to what He has seen and heard He testifies, yet no one receives His testimony.
33 indi iwa akpa shaida ma a kpayemmen gbigbi irji a njaji
The one who receives His testimony certifies 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 sent speaks God's words, because God does not give the Spirit by measure.
35 itie kpayemen nl vrena na ka koggen no nriwoma
The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.
