John 3
1 Pharisee mi amin Nicodemus kiti Judah teho'u lamkai khat aum e.
Now there was one of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews.
2 Amapa chu jankhat Yeshua henga ahungin Yeshua jah'a, “Houhil, keiho dinga Pathen in nahin sol ahi kaheuve; melchihna kidang hijat nabol hohi Pathen'a kon nahi aphot chetna ahitai,” ati.
This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him. "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God; for no man can do these signs which you are continually doing, unless God is with him."
3 Yeshuan adonbut'in “Tahbeh a kaseipeh nahi, nangma napen kit loule Pathen lenggam namu lou ding ahi,” ati.
"In very truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless a man is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
4 Nicodemus chun datmo tah in, “Mi ateh nunga iti anu naobu a lelut kit'a hung peng kit thei ding ham?” ati.
"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus replied; "Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?"
5 Yeshuan adonbut'in, “Thutah chu ahileh, twiya le lhagaova apenlou le koima Pathen lenggam alut thei poi.
"I tell you solemnly," Jesus answered, "that unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 Mihem tahsaphe a penga chu tahsa a hinna bou ahin, ahivangin Lhagao Thenga penga chu Lhagaova hinna chang ahi.
What is born of the flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Hijeh chun nangma napen kit ding ahi, kati chu datmo hih'in.
Marvel not at my telling you, ‘You must all be born again from above.’
8 Huikhu anopna lam lam'a anungin, nangin agin najan, ahivangin hoiya hungkon hoilam ajot nahepoi, chutobang chun Lhagaova pengho jong nangin nahethei poi,” ati.
The wind blows where it wills, and you hear its voice, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with every one who has been born of the Spirit."
9 Chuin Nicodemus chun ajah'a “Hiche ho chu iti hithei ding ham?” ati.
"How can this be?" said Nicodemus in reply.
10 Yeshuan adonbut in, “Nangla Judah te houhil pipu khat nahin, hiche hohi iti nahet thei lou ham?
"Are you the Teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?" said Jesus.
11 Tahbeh a kaseipeh nahi, keihon kahet kaseiyu ahin, kamu kahettohsah'u ahi; ahivangin kahettohsah'u hi nanghon nasang pouve.
"Most solemnly I tell you we are speaking of what we know, and it is about that of which we were eyewitnesses that we give testimony. Yet all of you reject our testimony.
12 Keiman leiset thil ho kaseiya natahsan lou leh, van'a thil ho thudol seileng iti natahsan ding ham?
If I have told you earthly things and yet none of you believe me, how will you believe if I tell you concerning heavenly things?
13 Koima van'a akal'in, ahung kile khapoi; ahivangin Mihem Chapa vang chu van'a kona hung kumlha ahi.
There is no one gone up to heaven, except the One who came down from heaven - the Son of man himself.
14 Chuleh Mose in gamthip'a thing'a sum-eng gul adop sang banga chu, Mihem Chapa kidom sang ding ahi.
And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,
in order that every one who believes in him may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Ajeh chu Pathen in hibanga hi vannoi angailut ahin, koi hijongleh Ama tahsan chan chu mangthah louva tonsot hinna anei na dingin, aneisun achapa changkhat chu apetan ahi. (aiōnios g166)
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever trusts in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Pathen in achapa vannoiya ahinsol chu, vannoi huhhing'a aumna ding joh ahibouve.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.
18 Koi hile ama tahsan chan chu, achunga thutanna umlou ahitai; ahivangin koi hijongleh atahsanlou vang chu, Pathen chapa changkhat chu atahsan loujeh a achunga thutanna umsa ahitai.
He who trusts in him is not condemned, but he who does not trust has already been condemned, because he has not put his trust in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Chule thutanna chu hiche hi ahi; Pathen vah chu vannoiya ahungin, ahivangin mihon vah sangin, achonnau aphatlou jeh in muthim joh adeijouvin ahi.
And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 Michonphalou jousen vah athet'un, nai jong anailut ngam pouve, ajeh chu achonset nau hinphong doh khante tin akichauve.
For every one who practises wrong hates light, and does not come to the light, lest his actions be exposed;
21 Ahivangin thudih'a chonphat bol ho vang chun Pathen lungdei abol'u chu mihon amuthei na dingin vah'a aum jinguve.” Tuilutsah John in Yeshua achoisang
but he who does what is true, comes to the light, in order that his actions may be shown to have been wrought in God."
22 Chuin Yeshua leh seijuiten Jerusalem adalhauvin, Judea gam thinglhang lam ajontauve; chukom a chun phat chomkhat a umkhom'un, miho baptize achansah jin ahi.
After this Jesus and his disciples went into the countryside of Judea, and there he was staying with them and baptizing.
23 Hiche pet chun Tuilutsah John injong Salim koma Aenon mun'a twi ninglhing tah'a aum jeh chun, miho baptize achansah jin, chule aphat seh in, miho jong baptize chang dingin ahung jingun ahi.
John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there were many streams there, and people kept coming to receive baptism.
24 Hichu John songkul'a akikhum masang ahi.
(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
25 Hichun kisuhtheng na thudol'a John seijui ho leh Judah mi phabep kikah'a kinelna anasoh in ahi.
Then some of John’s disciples got into a controversy with a Jew in regard to purification; so they came to John and said to him.
26 Hijeh chun John seijui ho ahenga ahung'un, ajah'a “Rabbi (hichu houhil tina ahi), Jordan luigala nakimupi a ama Messiah ahi tia nahettoh sah pa jong chun miho baptize achansah jin ahi. Chuleh mi tampi eiho henga hungtalouvin ama henga ache tauve,” atiuvin ahi.
"Rabbi, see! The man who was with you on the other side of Jordan, and to whom you yourself have borne testimony, is now baptizing, and everybody is coming to him."
27 Chuin John in adonbut'in “Pathen in vana kona apehlou chu, koima ima achangthei poi.
In reply John said. "A man cannot obtain anything unless it has been granted to him from heaven.
28 Keiman nahenguva kasei chu, nangho ahetoh'ah nahiuve; keima Christa kahipoi, ama lampi semtoh dinga hung kahi bouve.
You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but have been sent before him.’
29 Hiche hi ahi, mou kichenpia chu moulang ahin; chuleh moulang jolpa vang chu moulang koma adin'a moulang kitep na ajah chu akipana ahijenge. Hijeh chun ama lolhin na chun keima kipana dim'a eikoi ahi.
He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So then this joy of mine has now complete fulfilment.
30 Ama chu khangtou touding, chule keima kemsuh suh ding kahi. Vana hungkon Yeshua
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 Ama chunga hungkon ahin, mijouse sanga chung nungjo ahi; Eiho leiset'a kon ihiuvin, leiset thu iseiyu ahi, ahivangin ama chu chunga kon ahijeh'in mi jouse chunga achungnungpen ahi.
"He that comes from above is above all; but one who is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaks. He who comes from heaven is above all.
32 Aman amu leh ajah chu ahettohsah ahi, ahivangin ama hettohsah chu koiman asangpoi.
He bears testimony to what he has heard and seen, yet no one receives his testimony.
33 Hijeh chun koi hileh, athu hettohsah tahsan'a kisan chun Pathen dihtah chu apomdet ahitai.
Whoever does receive it has set his seal that God is true.
34 Ama chu Pathen hinsol ahi, Aman Pathen thutah aseiye, ajeh chu ama Pathen lhagao dimset'a kipe ahi.
For he whom God sent utters the words of God; for God does not give the Spirit sparingly.
35 Pa chun Achapa angailun, chule ima jouse ama khut'a apetai.
the Father loves the Son and has committed everything into his hands.
36 Hijeh chun, koi hijongleh Pathen tahsan'a chun tonsot hinna anei ahitai. Pathen chapa thungailou vang chu tonsot hinna changlouva Pathen lunghan na thutan chu achunga chu ding ahi,” ati. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him." (aiōnios g166)
