John 3
1 Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews.
Uugwa ai ukoli nu Afarisayo nai iza ilina nilakwe Nikodemo, ung'wi nua anyampala ni i anza nila Ayahudi.
2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him.
Muntu uyu ai umuhangile uYesu utiku nu kumuila, “Rabi, kulingile kina wi ng'walimu kupuma kung'wa Itunda, ku ndogoelyo kutili u muntu nu humile kituma izi yihi Itunda aze wikutili palung'wi nu ng'wenso.”
3 Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.
uYesu akamusukiilya, “Huiila huiila, shsnga uhumile u muntu kingila mu utemi nuang'wa Itunda anga wahite kutugwa nkua a kabiili.”
4 Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?
uNikodemo akaligitya, “Umuntu uhumile uli kutugwa aze mnyampala? Shanga uhumile kingila munda ang'wa nyinya nuakwe nkua a kabiili nu kutugwa, itii uhuile uli?”
5 Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.
uYesu akasukiilya, “Huiila huiila muntu anga wahite kutugwa ku mazi nu ku Ng'wau Ng'welu, shanga uhumile kingila mu utemi nuang'wa Itunda.
6 That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit.
Ni kitugilwe ku muili inge muili, hangi nikitugilwe ku nkolo inge nkolo.
7 Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.
Leka ku kuilwa kunsoko aza nakuilaa, inge kusinja kutugwa nkua aka biili.
8 The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.
Ung'wega wikunkaa pihi ku uloilwe nu luli nu lakwe mulijaa, kuiti shanga mulingile kuupumiie nuko ku ulongoe. Uugwa ni yili i hali a kila nutugilwe nu Ng'wau Ng'welu.
9 And Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for these things to be?
uNikodemo akasukiilya, ku kuligitya, “Makani aya ahumikile uli?”
10 And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?
uYesu akasukiilya, “u ewe wi ng'walimu nua Israeli shanga ulingile ga ni makani aya?
11 Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.
Huiila, huiila, nu kuuila, iko ni kukilingile kuuki kuiila ku iko ni kuki hengile. kuiti shanga mukusingiilya u ukuili nu itu.
12 If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?
Anga ize namuilaa imakani aya apa mihi shanga mu huiie, muhumile uli kuhuiila anga numuile imakani na kilunde?
13 And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.
Ndogoelyo kutili nai unankie migulya kupuma kilunde kwaala ng'wenso nai usimile, uNg'wana wang'wa Adamu.
14 As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:
Anga uu uMusa nai umiyansue inzoka mi bambazi, u uu uNg'wa nu ang'wa Adamu kusinja wanyansulwe,
iti kina ihi ni ika muhuiila alije u upanga nua kali na kali. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Ku ndogoelyo iyi Itunda ai u uloelwe u unkumbigulu, kina akamupumya u ng'wana nu akwe nu ing'wene, iti kina muntu wihi nu muhuiie waleke kulimila ila watule nu upanga nua kali na kali. (aiōnios g166)
17 God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.
Ku nsoko Itunda shanga ai umulagiiye ung'wana nu akwe mihi iti aulamule u unkumbigulu, ila kina u unkumbigulu ugunike mung'wa akwe.
18 The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.
Nu muhuiie nuanso shanga ukulamulwa. Nuanso ni shanga umuhuiie yakondaa walamulwaa ku nsoko shanga ulihuiie i lina nila Ng'wana wing'wene nuang'wa Itunda.
19 And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.
Iyi yiyo nsoko a ulamulwa, nia kina u welu ai uzile mu unkumbigulu, kuiti iana adamu akalowa kiti ikilo a welu ku nsoko ntendo ni ao ai yatulaa ya ubii.
20 The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen.
Kila muntu nuitumaa u ubii wibipilwaa u welu ni iti shanga uzile mu welu iti kina intendo niakwe ileke kuikwa ng'walyi.
21 But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.
Kuiti, nuanso nuitumaa i tai wizaa mu welu iti intendo niakwe igeeleke kina yitumilwe ku ikulyo ni lang'wa Itunda.
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism.
Ze akilaa aya, uYesu palung'wi ni amanyisigwa akalongola mihi a Yudea. Kung'wanso ai utumie itungo palung'wi ni enso hangi ai watulaa ukoja.
23 Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism.
Itungili ga nu uYohana ai watulaa ukoja uko ku Ainea pakupi ni Salam ndogoelyo ai akoli ni mazi idu pang'wanso. Antu ai atulaa akupembya kitalakwe nu kogigwa,
24 For at this time John had not been put into prison.
ku nsoko uYohana ai watulaa wakili kugung'wa mu kadulumu.
25 Then a question came up between John's disciples and a Jew about washing.
Uugwa ai ipumie wikungumi mu amanyisigwa ang'wa Yohana ni Ayahudi kutula siku kuu nia weligwa.
26 And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.
Akalongola kung'wa Yohana akamuila, “Rabi, nuanso naza mine nu ng'wenso kitumbi nila mongo nua Yordani, Ng'wenso nai ukuiie i nkani ni akwe, goza, ukoja ni ihi akulongola akumutyata.”
27 And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.
uYohana akasukiilya umuntu shanga uhumile kusingiilya kintu kihi kwaala anga ize winkiiigwe kupuma kilunde.
28 You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.
uNyenye akola mikuiila kina aindigitilye kina, 'unene shanga ni kilisto; badala akwe ai ndigitilye, 'ndagiigwe ntongeela akwe.'
29 He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.
Nuanso nuine nu mutiziila ingi mukulu nua winga. Itungili umuhumbamuya nuang'wa mukulu nua winga, nuimikaa nu kutegeelya wiloeelya lukulu kunsoko a luli nula mukulu nua winga. Uwu itungili ingi ulowa nu ane ni ukondaniie.
30 He has to become greater while I become less.
Utakiwe kukilinkiila nu nene ntakiwe kukepa.
31 He who comes from heaven is greater than all others: he who comes from earth is of the earth, and of the earth are his words: he who comes from heaven is over all.
Nuanso nu pembeeye migulya, ukoli migulya a ihi. Nuanso nua unkumbigulu upumiie mu unkumbigulu hangi wiligitya makani a kinya unkumbigulu. Nuanso nupembeeye kilunde ukoli migulya a yihi.
32 He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.
Nuanso wikuiila ayo nuihengile nu kigiilya, kuiti kutili nuisingiilya u ukuiili nu akwe.
33 He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true.
Nuanso nai usingiiye u ukuiili nuakwe ukomaniigwe kina Itunda ingi watai.
34 For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure.
Ku nsoko nuanso nai ulagiingwe ni Itunda wiligitya makani ang'wa Itunda. Ku nsoko shanga wiminkiilya uNg'wau ng'welu nua ngele.
35 The Father has love for the Son and has put all things into his hands.
uTata wimulowaa ung'wana hangi uminkiiye i intu yihi mu mikono akwe.
36 He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him. (aiōnios g166)
Nuanso numuhuiie uNg'wana ukete u upanga nua kali na kali, Kuiti ku ng'waakwe ni shanga ukumukulya uNg'wana shanga ukuihenga u upanga nua kali na kali, ila ikuo ni lang'wa Itunda liambinkanaa migulya akwe. (aiōnios g166)
