Johan 3
1 Te vaengah Pharisee khuikah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Nikodemu, Judah rhoek kah boei te om.
There was a man of the Pharisees, the name to him Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 Anih loh khoyin ah a taengla a paan tih, “Rhabbi, Pathen taeng lamkah aka pawk saya pakhat la kam ming uh, Pathen te a taengah om pawt atah miknoek na saii he saii ham coeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
the same came to Him by night, and said to Him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come a teacher from God; for no one is able to do these miracles, which thou art doing, unless God may he with him.
3 Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Nang taengah rhep, rhep kan thui, koep a cun hlang pawt loh Pathen kah ram te a hmuh ham coeng pawh,” a ti nah.
Jesus responded and said to him, Truly, truly, I say unto thee, unless any one may be born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.
4 Nikodemu loh amah te, “Metlam patong la aka om hlang he a thang ham a coeng eh? Pabae la a manu bung khuila kun ham neh a thaang ham a coeng moenih?” a ti nah.
Nicodemus says to him; How is a man able to be born, being old? whether he is able to enter the second time into the womb of his mother, and be born?
5 Jesuh loh, “Nang taengah rhep, rhep kan thui, tui neh Mueihla kah a cun pawt te tah, Pathen kah ram khuiah a kun ham coeng pawh.
Jesus responded, Truly, truly, I say unto thee, Unless any one may be born of water and Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
6 Pumsa kah a cun tah pumsa la om tih Mueihla kah a cun tah mueihla la om van.
That which has been born of the flesh is flesh; and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Nang taengah kan thui te ngaihmang sak boeh, nangmih he koep cun ham a kuek.
Be not astonished because I said to thee; It behooveth you to be born from above.
8 Khohli loh a ngaih la hli tih a ol te na yaak. Tedae me lamkah ha pawk tih mela a caeh khaw na ming moenih. Mueihla kah a cun khaw te tlam ni boeih a om,” a ti nah.
The Spirit breathes on whom He willeth, and thou hearest His voice, but dost not know whence He cometh and whither He goeth; so is every one who has been born of the Spirit.
9 Nikodemu loh a doo tih, “He tla om thai aya?” a ti nah.
Nicodemus responded and said to Him, How are these things able to he?
10 Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Nang tah Israel kah saya la na om coeng dae he khaw na ming mahnim?”.
Jesus responded and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel and knowest not these things?
11 Nang taengah rhep, rhep kan thui, m'ming te n'thui tih m'hmuh te ni m'phong. Tedae kaimih kah olphong te na ming uh moenih.
Truly, truly, I say unto thee, that we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; and you received not our testimony.
12 Nangmih taengah diklai koe ka thui vaengah na tangnah uh pawt atah nangmih taengah vaan koe te ka thui koinih metlam na tangnah uh eh?
If I spoke to you things upon the earth, and you do net believe, how will you believe, if I speak to you of things in heaven?
13 Te dongah vaan lamkah aka rhum hlang capa pawt koinih vaan la luei uh mahpawh.
No one hath ascended up into heaven, but the one having come down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven.
14 Moses loh khosoek ah rhul a tai bangla hlang capa khaw tai ham a kuek van.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so does it behoove the Son of man to be lifted up:
that every one believing in Him may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Pathen loh Diklai a lungnah tangloeng tih khueh duen capa te a paek. Amah aka tangnah boeih tah poci pawt vetih dungyan hingnah a dang ni. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that every one believing on Him may not perish but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Pathen loh Diklai te laitloek thil hamla Diklai ah capa a tueih moenih. Tedae anih lamloh Diklai te khang ham ni a tueih.
For God sent not His Son into the world that He may condemn the world; but that the world through Him may be saved.
18 Amah aka tangnah tah laitloek thil mahpawh, tedae aka tangnah pawt tah Pathen capa khueh duen ming te a tangnah pawt dongah a tangtae la lai a tloek thil coeng.
He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not, has already been condemned, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Laitloeknah he om ngawn coeng. Vangnah tah Diklai la ha pawk coeng dae hlang rhoek loh a khoboe thae a khueh dongah vangnah lakah yinnah te lat a lungnah uh.
And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light; for their works are evil.
20 A thae la aka khoboe boeih loh vangnah te a hmuhuet tih a khoboe te a toeltham pawt ham ni vangnah khuila ha pawk pawh.
For every one doing evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, in order that his works may not be convicted;
21 Oltak aka saii tah vangnah khuila ha pawk. Te daengah ni Pathen ming neh a saii a bitat te a phoe sak eh,” a ti nah.
but every one doing the truth comes to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they have been wrought in God.
22 He phoeiah Jesuh tah a hnukbang rhoek neh Judah kho la pawk. Te vaengah amih taengah tapkhoeh om tih a nuem.
After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the Judean country; and there He was tarrying with them and baptizing.
23 Salim Johan long khaw Salim kaep kah Aenon ah om tih a nuem. Tui khaw muep a om tapkhoeh dongah ha pawk uh vaengah a nuem uh.
And John was also baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there were many waters there: and they came and baptized.
24 Johan te thongim ah hlak la a om hlan dongah ni.
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Te phoeiah Johan kah hnukbang rhoek te Judah hoel neh cimcaihnah kawng olpungnah om.
And there was a disputation of the disciples of John, concerning purifying.
26 Te dongah Johan te a paan uh tih, “Rhabbi, anih ke Jordan rhalvangan la nang taengah om tih, a kawng na phong dae ta. Anih loh a nuem dongah a taengla boeih ha pawk uh coeng ke,” a ti nauh.
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, He who is with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all are coming to Him.
27 Johan loh a doo tih, “Anih te vaan lamloh paek la om pawt koinih hlang loh pakhat khaw a dang thai moenih,” a ti nah.
John responded and said, No man is able to receive anything, unless it may have been given unto him from heaven.
28 Nangmih loh kai taengah na phong uh te, 'Kai tah Khrih moenih, tedae a hmaikah a tueih te ni, ' ka ti.
You are witnessing to me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before Him.
29 Yulokung loh vasakung te a khueh la om dae yulokung kah paya long tah khueh pawh. Aka pai tih aka hnatun loh yulokung kah ol dongah omngaihnah neh omngaih. Te dongah ka omngaihnah tah soep coeng.
The one having the bride is the Bridegroom: but the friend of the Bridegroom is the one standing and hearing him, rejoiceth with joy on account of the Bridegroom: This, my joy has been made complete.
30 Anih te a rhoeng mak atah, ka tlak khaw a kuek mai coeng.
It behooveth Him to increase, and me to decrease.
31 A so lamkah aka pawk tah hlang boeih soah om. Diklai ah aka om tah diklai kah la om tih diklai lamkah te a thui. Vaan lamkah aka pawk tah a soah boeih om.
He that cometh from above is above all;
32 A hmuh neh a yaak te a phong. Tedae anih kah olphong te doe uh pawh.
the one being of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. The one coming from heaven witnesses what He has seen and heard, and no one receives His testimony.
33 Anih kah olphong aka doe loh Pathen tah oltak ni tila kutnoek a daeng coeng.
The one having received His testimony hath set his seal, that God is true.
34 Anih te Pathen loh a tueih dongah Pathen kah olthang ni a thui. Mueihla a paek te khaw a tarhing a khueh pah moenih.
For whom God sent speaketh the words of God: for He does not give His spirit by measure.
35 Pa loh capa te a lungnah dongah a cungkuem he a kut ah a paek.
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things in His hands.
36 Capa aka tangnah loh dungyan hingnah a khueh. Tedae capa ol aka aek tah hingnah hmu pawt tih anih loh Pathen kah kosi a rhaeh thil. (aiōnios g166)
He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
