Yohana 3
1 Jwapali chilongola jwa Chiyahudi liina lyakwe che Nikodemu juŵaliji mu mpingo wa Mafalisayo.
And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 Chilo chimo che Nikodemu ŵanjaulile Che Yesu ni kunsalila, “Jwakwiganya, tukwimanyilila kuti mmwe ndi jwakwiganya jwalajiswe ni Akunnungu, pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kupanganya imanyisyo inkwitendekanya mmwe akaŵe Akunnungu ali pamo najo.”
this one came to Him by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we have known that You have come from God—a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that You do, if God may not be with him.”
3 Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Isyene ngunsalila, iŵaga mundu ngakupagwa kaaŵili, ngaakombola kwinjila mu umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God”;
4 Che Nikodemu ŵambusisye, “Ana mundu akukombola chinauli kupagwa kaaŵili ali akusile? Akukombola chinauli kwinjila mu lutumbo lwa achikulugwe ni kupagwa kaaŵili?”
Nicodemus says to Him, “How is a man able to be born, being old? Is he able to enter into the womb of his mother a second time, and to be born?”
5 Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Isyene ngunsalila, iŵaga mundu ngaapagwa kwa meesi ni kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ngaakombola kwinjila mu umwenye wa Akunnungu.
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of God;
6 Kwa chiilu mundu akupagwa ni atati ni achikulugwe, nambo akupagwa kwa mbumu, akupagwa kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Nkasimonga pakuŵa ndite kuti nkusachilwa mpagwe kaaŵili.
You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
8 Mbungo jikupuga kujikusaka, nkujipikana pajikupuga, nambo ngankukumanyilila kujikukopochela atamuno kujikwaula. Ikuŵa yelei kwa jwalijose jwapagwilwe kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.”
the Spirit blows where [that] One wills, and you hear [that] One’s voice, but you have not known from where [that] One comes, and to where [that] One goes; thus is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
9 Che Nikodemu ŵausisye Che Yesu, “Ayi indu yi ana chiikomboleche chinauli?”
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
10 Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “Mmwejo ndi jwakwiganya jwa Ŵaisilaeli ana iŵele uli ngankwimanyilila indu yi?
Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?
11 Isyene ngunsalila, uweji tukuŵecheta itukwimanyilila ni kuŵalanga umboni wa itwiweni, nambo ŵanyamwe ngankusaka kuujitichisya utenga wetu.
Truly, truly, I say to you, what We have known We speak, and what We have seen We testify, and you do not receive Our testimony;
12 Iŵaga nantanjile indu ya pachilambo ni ŵanyamwe nganinjitichisya, ana nantanjilaga indu ya kwinani chinjitichisye chinauli?
if I spoke to you of the earthly things, and you do not believe, how, if I will speak to you of the heavenly things, will you believe?
13 Ngapagwa jwalijose jwajawile kwinani ikaŵe Mwana jwa Mundu juŵatulwiche kutyochela kwinani.”
And no one has gone up to Heaven, except He who came down out of Heaven—the Son of Man who is in Heaven.
14 Mpela ila che Musa iŵatite pakulikoleka penani pa luchanamila lijoka lilyakolochekwe ni shaba mwipululu mula, iyoyo peyo Mwana jwa Mundu ikusachilwa anyakulikwe mwinani,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up,
that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life, (aiōnios g166)
16 Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaanonyele nnope ŵandu ŵa pachilambo, nipele ŵantyosisye Mwanagwe jwajikape, kuti jwalijose jwakunkulupilila akajonasika, nambo akole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
for God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Pakuŵa Akunnungu nganantuma Mwanagwe pachilambo kuti aiche kukwalamula ŵandu, nambo aiche kukwakulupusya.
For God did not send His Son into the world that He may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through Him;
18 Jwakunkulupilila Mwana jwa Akunnungu, jwelejo ngakulamulwa, nambo jwangankulupilila jwelejo amasile kulamulikwa, pakuŵa nganankulupilila Mwana jwajikape jwa Akunnungu.
he who is believing in Him is not judged, but he who is not believing has been judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Lilamulo lili lyeleli, lilanguka liiche pachilambo nambo ŵandu achinonyele nnope chipi kupunda lilanguka, pakuŵa akupanganya ya chigongomalo.
And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;
20 Mundu jwalijose jwakupanganya ya chigongomalo akulichima lilanguka, ngakwika kulilanguka pakuŵa ngakusaka iwoneche indu yao ya chigongomalo.
for everyone who is doing wicked things hates the light, and does not come into the light, that his works may not be detected;
21 Nambo jwakuukamulisya usyene akwika kulilanguka kuti yakuipanganya iwoneche kuti ipanganyiche kwa kwajitichisya Akunnungu.
but he who is doing the truth comes into the light, that his works may be revealed, that in God they are having been worked.”
22 Payamasile yeleyo Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵajawile ku chilambo cha Ŵayahudi. Ŵatemi pamo nawo kweleko, achibatisyaga ŵandu.
After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
23 Che Yohana nombe ŵaliji ku Ainoni, pachiŵandi ku Salimu achibatisyaga ŵandu, pakuŵa kweleko kwaliji ni meesi gamajinji. Ŵandu ŵanjaulilaga, nombewo ŵabatisye.
and John was also immersing in Aenon, near to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being immersed—
24 Yeleyo yakopochele katema che Yohana nganataŵikwe mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
for John was not yet cast into the prison—
25 Gakopochele makani pasikati ja Myahudi jumo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵampepe ŵa che Yohana nkati masyoŵelelo ga kuliswejesya kwaligongo lya kwapopelela Akunnungu.
there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
26 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya wo ŵanjaulile che Yohana ni kunsalila, “Jwakwiganya, ajula mundu juŵaliji pamo nomwe peesi Yolodani, jumwaŵalasile ngani syakwe, nombejo sambano akubatisya, ni ŵandu wose akwajaulila.”
and they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you testified, behold, this One is immersing, and all are coming to Him.”
27 Che Yohana ŵajanjile, “Mundu ngakukombola kukola chachilichose ikaŵe apegwilwe ni Akunnungu ŵa kwinani.
John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given him from Heaven;
28 Ni ŵanyamwe mwachinsyene nkumanyilila kuti nasasile, ‘Uneji nguniŵa Kilisito Jwakuwombola, nambo nalajiswe kuti naalongolele!’
you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been sent before Him;
29 Jwakulombekwa ali jwakwe nnombela, nambo nkamusi jwa nnombela akwima kuntumichila nnombela, nkamusi jo akusangalala nnope pakupilikana liloŵe lya nnombela ali nkukunguluka. Iyoyo peyo ni uneji ngusangalala nnope.
He who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing Him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy has been fulfilled.
30 Che Yesu ikusachilwa aŵe jwankulu, ni uneji mme jwannondi.
It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
31 “Jwakwika kutyochela kwinani ali jwankulu kwapunda wose. Jwakutyochela pachilambo ali jwa pachilambo nombe akuŵecheta mpela mundu jwa pachilambo. Nambo jwakwika kutyochela kwinani akuilongosya indu yose.
He who is coming from above is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaks; He who is coming from Heaven is above all.
32 Jwelejo akutyosya umboni wa indu yaiweni ni kuilipikana, nambo ngapagwa mundu jwakukunda indu yakuisala.
And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;
33 Nambo mundu jwalijose jwakukunda umboni wakuusala jwelejo, akwitichisya kuti Akunnungu ali usyene.
he who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;
34 Ajula jwatumikwe ni Akunnungu akusala maloŵe ga Akunnungu, pakuŵa Akunnungu akwapa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kwa winji.
for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure;
35 Akunnungu akunnonyela Mwana ni indu yose aŵisile mu ulamusi wao.
the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand;
36 Jwakunkulupilila Mwana akwete umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, jwangakunkulupilila Mwana ngakola umi, ni uchimwa wa Akunnungu uli pa jwelejo.” (aiōnios g166)
he who is believing in the Son has continuous life; and he who is not believing the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (aiōnios g166)
