San Juan 3
1 YA guaja un taotao Fariseo na naanña si Nicodemo, prinsipe y Judiosija.
Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a leading man among the Jews.
2 Este mato gui as Jesus gui puenge ya ilegna nu güiya: Rabi, jame intingo na jago maestro guine as Yuus, sa taya siña fumatinas este sija na señat, ni unfatitinas, yaguin ti sumisija yan Yuus.
This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: “Rabbi, we know that you are a Teacher come from God; for no one could give such signs as you are giving, unless God were with him.”
3 Ynepe as Jesus ya ilegña nu güiya: Magajet ya magajet y jusangane jao, na y ti mafañago talo, ti siña jalie y raenon Yuus.
“In truth I tell you,” exclaimed Jesus, “unless a man is reborn, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
4 Ylegña nu güiya si Nicodemo: Jafa muna siña y taotao mafañago yaguin este biju; siña güe jumalom dos biaje, talo gui jalom y tiyan nanaña ya umafañago?
“How can a man,” asked Nicodemus, “be born when he is old? Can he be born a second time?”
5 Ynepe as Jesus: Magajet ya magajet jusangane jao, na y ti mafañago ni janom yan ni iyon Espiritu, ti siña jumalom gui raenon Yuus.
“In truth I tell you,” answered Jesus, “unless a man owes his birth to Water and Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
6 Todo y mafañago ni guine catne, catneja güe; ya y mafañago guine Espiritu, espirituja güe.
All that owes its birth to human nature is human, and all that owes its birth to the Spirit is spiritual.
7 Chamo ninamamanman ni jusangane jao: Y nesesita jamyo na mafañago talo.
Do not wonder at my telling you that you all need to be reborn.
8 Y manglo manguaefe mano malagoña, ya unjungog y bengbengña, lao ti untungo guine manu mague, ni tampoco para manu guato. Taegüenao todo ayo y manmafañago guine Espiritu.
The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes, or where it goes; it is the same with every one that owes his birth to the Spirit.”
9 Si Nicodemo manope ya ilegña: Jafa muna siña este?
“How can that be?” asked Nicodemus.
10 Ynepe as Jesus ya ilegña nu güiya: Jago un maestro guiya Israel ya ti untungo este?
“What! You a teacher of Israel,” exclaimed Jesus, “and yet do not understand this!
11 Magajet ya magajet jusangane jao, Y tatungo, tasangan; ya y talie tadeclara, ya ti inresibe y testimoniota.
In truth I tell you that we speak of what we know, and state what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our statements.
12 Yaguin jusangane jao güinajan tano, ya ti unjonggue, jafa taemano unjonggue yaguin jusangane jao güinajan langet?
If, when I tell you earthly things, you do not believe me, how will you believe me when I tell you of heavenly things?
13 Ya taya cajulo gui langet, güiyaja y tumunog guine y langet, güiya matungo, y Lajin taotao ni y gaegue gui langet,
No one has ascended to Heaven, except him who descended from Heaven — the Son of Man himself.
14 Ya jaf taemanoja si Moises janacajulo y serpiente gui desierto, taegüijeja na nesesita na y Lajin taotao umanacajulo.
And, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up;
that every one who believes in him may have Immortal Life.” (aiōnios g166)
16 Sa taegüenao na jaguaeya si Yuus y tano, janae ni linilisja Lajiña y para todo ayo y jumonggue güe, ti siña malingo, ya guaja linâlâña na taejinecog. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that every one who believes in him may not be lost, but have Immortal Life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Sa ti jatago si Yuus y Lajiña guato gui tano, para usapit y tano, lao para y tano unalibre pot güiya.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
18 Y jumonggue güe, ti umasapit; ayo y ti jumonggue güe ayo umasapit, sa ti manjonggue ni naan unoja na Lajin Yuus.
He who believes in him escapes condemnation, while he who does not believe in him is already condemned, because he has not believed in the only Son of God.
19 Ya este na sinapit, na y inina malag y tano, ya y taotao sija gaonñija y jemjom qui y inina, sa y finatinasñija taelaye.
The ground of his condemnation is this, that though the Light has come into the world, men preferred the darkness to the Light, because their actions were wicked.
20 Sa todo ayo y fumatinas y taelaye, chatlie y inina, ya ti malag y inina, sa y chechoña no sea umareprende.
For he who lives an evil life hates the light, and will not come to it, for fear that his actions should be exposed;
21 Ayo y fumatinas y magajet, malag y inina, para y unamatungo finatinasña, sa y finatinasña guine as Yuus.
but he who acts up to the truth comes to the light, that his actions may be shown to have been done in dependence upon God.
22 Despues di estesija, mato si Jesus yan y disipuluña sija, gui un tano Judea ya gaegue güije yan sija managpange.
After this, Jesus went with his disciples into the country parts of Judea; and there he stayed with them, and baptized.
23 Managpapange locue si Juan, guiya Enon, jijot guiya Salim, sa gaegue güije megae na janom: ya sija manmamaela, ya manmatagpange.
John, also, was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there were many streams there; and people were constantly coming and being baptized.
24 Sa si Juan trabia ti mapopolo gui catset.
(For John had not yet been imprisoned).
25 Ya guaja un inaguaguat entre sija yan y disipulon Juan yan y Judio sija pot y guinasgas.
Now a discussion arose between some of John’s disciples and a Jew on the subject of ‘purification;’
26 Ya manmato gui as Juan, ya ilegñija nu güiya: Rabi, ayo y gaegue güije guinin iya jago, gui otro banda Jordan ni unnae testimonio, estagüe! na jatagpange, yan y todo y taotao manmato guiya güiya.
and the disciples came to John and said: “Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, and to whom you have yourself borne testimony — he, also, is baptizing, and everybody is going to him.”
27 Manope si Juan ilegña: Ti siña y taotao manresibe jafa, yaguin ti manae guine y langet.
John’s answer was — “A man can gain nothing but what is given him from Heaven.
28 Jamyoja innae testimonio na guinin jusangan: Ti guajo si Jesucristo, lao guajo matago gui menaña.
You are yourselves witnesses that I said ‘I am not the Christ,’ but ‘I have been sent before him as a Messenger.’
29 Ya guaja asaguaña, güiya y nobio locue; lao amigon nobio, ni y tomotojgue ya jajujungogja, ya magof dangculo pot y sinangan y nobio. Taegüine pues este minagofjo esta macumple.
It is the bridegroom who has the bride; but the bridegroom’s friend, who stands by and listens to him, is filled with joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. This joy I have felt to the full.
30 Güiya siempre, lumálamodong; ya guajo manaladiquique.
He must become greater, and I less.”
31 Y guinin jila mague, güiya mas taquilo qui todo; ya y iyon y tano, tanoja güe, ya iyon y tanoja jasasangan; ya y mamaela guine langet, güiya iyajululo.
He who comes from above is above all others; but a child of earth is earthly, and his teaching is earthly, too. He who comes from Heaven is above all others.
32 Tanae testimonio, nu y lumie ya jajungog, ya taya rumesibe y testimonioña.
He states what he has seen and what he heard, and yet no one accepts his statement.
33 Ya y rumesibe y testimonioña, este sumeyo na si Yuus, güiya magajet.
They who did accept his statement attested the fact that God is true.
34 Sa y tinago as Yuus, y fino Yuus jasangan; sa si Yuus ti mannanae güe ni y Espiritu pot medida.
For he whom God sent as his Messenger gives us God’s own teaching, for God does not limit the gift of the Spirit.
35 Sa y tata yaña y Lajiña ya todo y güinaja japolo gui canaeña.
The Father loves his Son, and has put everything in his hands.
36 Y jumonggue y Lajiña guaja taejinecog na linâlâ; ya ayo y ti manjonggue y Lajiña, ti ulie linâlâ, lao y binibon Yuus gaegue gui jiloña. (aiōnios g166)
He who believes in the Son has Immortal Life, while he who rejects the Son will not even see that Life, but remains under ‘God’s displeasure.’ (aiōnios g166)
