John 3
1 Now there was a man among the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.
Hambu atahori esa mia partei agama Farisi, naran Nikodemus. Eni, atahori Yahudi ra meser monaen esa.
2 He went to Jesus at night, and he said to him: “Rabbi, we know that you have arrived as a teacher from God. For no one would be able to accomplish these signs, which you accomplish, unless God were with him.”
Lao esa, ana nema tetembaꞌ nandaa no Yesus. Boe ma ana nae, “Ama Meser! Hai bubꞌuluꞌ oi, Lamatualain mana denu Papa fo munori hai. Huu manadadꞌi-manaseliꞌ fo Papa taoꞌ ra naa, ratudꞌu bukti oi, Lamatualain mana fee koasa naa neu Papa. Mete ma nda taꞌo naa sa, na, tantu manadadꞌi-manaseliꞌ naa nda dadꞌi sa.”
3 Jesus responded and said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one has been reborn anew, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.”
Yesus nataa nae, “Tebꞌe! Ma Au ae ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: mete ma atahori nda nenebonggi baliꞌ sa, na, ana nda dadꞌi Lamatualain atahorin sa.”
4 Nicodemus said to him: “How could a man be born when he is old? Surely, he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be reborn?”
Boe ma Nikodemus natane nae, “Taꞌo bee fo atahori bisa nenebonggiꞌ onaꞌ naa, mete ma ana naꞌamoko ena!? Ana nda bisa baliꞌ lao ka ruan nisiꞌ maman tein rala neu, fo bonggi seluꞌ e sa. Nda bisa sa, to!?”
5 Jesus responded: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one has been reborn by water and the Holy Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.
Yesus nataa nae, “Tebꞌe! Te Au ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: atahori musi nenebonggiꞌ no oe fo dadꞌi meuꞌ, ma nenebonggiꞌ no dula-daleꞌ a fo dadꞌi atahori feuꞌ. No taꞌo naa, dei fo ana bisa dadꞌi Lamatualain atahorin.
6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Huu atahori nenebonggiꞌ mia atahori, te atahori dula-dalen nenebonggi feuꞌ mia Lamatualain Dula-dalen.
7 You should not be amazed that I said to you: You must be born anew.
Afiꞌ tabanganga mete ma Au ae, ‘Hei musi nenebonggi feuꞌ, fo hambu masodꞌa feuꞌ.’
8 The Spirit inspires where he wills. And you hear his voice, but you do not know where he comes from, or where he is going. So it is with all who are born of the Spirit.”
Ata taꞌasasamaꞌ no anin. Huu anin humbu tungga hihiin. Hita rena muun, te nda bubꞌuluꞌ ana mia bee nema, ma nae bee neu sa boe. Basa atahori mana nenebonggi feuꞌ mia Lamatualain Dula-dalen o onaꞌ naa boe. Huu ata bisa tita Lamatualain Dula-dalen tao atahori dadꞌi feuꞌ ena, mae hita nda tahine tae taꞌo bee de dalaꞌ naa bisa dadꞌi.”
9 Nicodemus responded and said to him, “How are these things able to be accomplished?”
Basa ma Nikodemus natane nae, “Taꞌo bee de bisa dadꞌi taꞌo naa?”
10 Jesus responded and said to him: “You are a teacher in Israel, and you are ignorant of these things?
Yesus nataa nae, “We, aꞌa. Aꞌa dadꞌi atahori Israꞌel ra meser monaen ena. Taꞌo bee de aꞌa nda nahine dalaꞌ ia ra sa?
11 Amen, amen, I say to you, that we speak about what we know, and we testify about what we have seen. But you do not accept our testimony.
Au ufadꞌe tetebꞌes. Naa, hai, naeni Au o atahori nggara, mihine dalaꞌ ia ra. Huu hai dadꞌi sakasii soꞌal dala-dalaꞌ fo hai mita no mata mara ena. Te hei nda simbo no maloleꞌ hai oꞌola mara sa.
12 If I have spoken to you about earthly things, and you have not believed, then how will you believe, if I will speak to you about heavenly things?
Hei nda nau mimihere leleꞌ Au ufadꞌe dala-dalaꞌ manadadꞌiꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia sa. Saa fai mete ma Au ufadꞌe soꞌal dala-dala manadadꞌi sia lalai a. Tantu hei nda mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ sa boe!
13 And no one has ascended to heaven, except the one who descended from heaven: the Son of man who is in heaven.
Nda hambu atahori esa sa boe hene neu nataa mbali Lamatuaꞌ sia lalai a sa. Akaꞌ Au, naeni Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, mana onda nema mia E.
14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so also must the Son of man be lifted up,
Fai maꞌahulun sia mamana rouꞌ, baꞌi Musa londa mengge riti esa sia hau ata, fo basa atahori mete rita e, fo ara hambu masodꞌaꞌ. Dalaꞌ onaꞌ naa boe o musi dadꞌi fee Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia. Dei fo ara rae londa doko-doko au sia hau ata,
fo basa atahori mana ramahere Au hambu masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ nda mana basaꞌ sa. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Huu Lamatualain sue-lai naseliꞌ basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia. Naeni de Ana denu Au, Ana isen ia, fo basa atahori mana ramahere neu Au nda saranggaa mia Lamatualain sa. No taꞌo naa, ara hambu masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ nda etu ma nda basa sa. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God did not send his Son into the world, in order to judge the world, but in order that the world may be saved through him.
Naa! Lamatualain nda denu Au, Anan ia, uma sia raefafoꞌ ia fo nggero-furi atahori huku-dokin sa. Te Ana denu Au fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori mia sala-kilu nara.
18 Whoever believes in him is not judged. But whoever does not believe is already judged, because he does not believe in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
Lamatualain nda huku-doki atahori mana ramahere neu Au sa. Te Ana naꞌetu memaꞌ huku-dokiꞌ fee neu atahori nda mana namahere neu Au sa, huu atahori naa nda namahere neu Au sa, naeni Lamatualain Ana isen ia.
19 And this is the judgment: that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness more than light. For their works were evil.
Onaꞌ taꞌo ia: Lamatualain haitua manggareloꞌ a nema fo naronda sia raefafoꞌ ia. Te atahori hiiꞌ a rasodꞌa sia maꞌahatuꞌ a. Ara nda hii rasodꞌa sia manggareloꞌ a sa, huu sira tataon nara nda maloleꞌ sa. Naa de Lamatualain nae huku-doki se.
20 For everyone who does evil hates the Light and does not go toward the Light, so that his works may not be corrected.
Huu basa atahori nda mana tao maloleꞌ ra sa, binci manggareloꞌ naa. Ara nda hii manggareloꞌ a naronda sia se sa, naa fo manggareloꞌ a afiꞌ soi natudꞌu tatao deꞌulaka nara.
21 But whoever acts in truth goes toward the Light, so that his works may be manifested, because they have been accomplished in God.”
Te atahori mana tao tungga ndoo-tetuꞌ a, ara rema fo manggareloꞌ a naronda sia se. Huu manggareloꞌ a natudꞌu nae, sira tao tungga Lamatualain hihii-nanaun.”
22 After these things, Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea. And he was living there with them and baptizing.
Basa naa ma, Yesus no ana mana tungga nara lao hela kota Yerusalem, de leo raꞌatataaꞌ sia nusa Yudea. Ara sarani atahori sia naa.
23 Now John was also baptizing, at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water in that place. And they were arriving and being baptized.
Leleꞌ naa, Herodes se nda feꞌe tao Yohanis bui rala neu sa. Ma Yohanis o sarani atahori sia kambo Ainon, deka kambo Salim, huu oe mataꞌ hetar sia naa. Boe ma atahori akaꞌ rema sia Yohanis fo ana sarani se.
24 For John had not yet been cast into prison.
25 Then a dispute occurred between the disciples of John and the Jews, about purification.
Naa, agama Yahudi hambu adꞌat esa fo tao nemeu aoꞌ, dei fo ara feꞌe bisa hule-oꞌe ena. Sia naa, hambu atahori Yahudi esa nareresi no Yohanis ana mana tungga nara soꞌal dalaꞌ naa.
26 And they went to John and said to him: “Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, about whom you offered testimony: behold, he is baptizing and everyone is going to him.”
Basa ma ara rema risiꞌ Yohanis de rafadꞌe rae, “Ama Meser! Musunedꞌa do hokoꞌ, Atahori fo mana sangga papa mia loe Yarden bobꞌoan, fo papa mae, Eni, Kristus? Ana o sarani atahori boe! Nda hambu rema sia hai sa ena! Huu basa atahori akaꞌ reu sia E!”
27 John responded and said: “A man is not able to receive anything, unless it has been given to him from heaven.
Yohanis nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Atahori nda bisa tao rala saa-saa sa boe, mete ma Lamatualain sia sorga nda soi dalaꞌ fee ne sa.
28 You yourselves offer testimony for me that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but that I have been sent before him.
Hei rena au ufadꞌe relo-relo ena ae, ‘Au ia, nda Kristus fo hita tahaniꞌ a sa. Te Lamatualain denu au uma uꞌuhuluꞌ, fo soi dalaꞌ fee neu Kristus. Taꞌoꞌ a naa ena!’
29 He who holds the bride is the groom. But the friend of the groom, who stands and listens to Him, rejoices joyfully at the voice of the groom. And so, this, my joy, has been fulfilled.
Conto, tou mana nae saoꞌ a naꞌena inaꞌ fo nae saoꞌ a. Te eni sakasii na, mana nambariiꞌ no eni, leleꞌ rena tou mana nae saoꞌ ola-olaꞌ na ralan namahoꞌo. Yesus naa, onaꞌ tou mana nae saoꞌ esa. Boe ma au ia, onaꞌ Eni sakasii na. Naeni de leleꞌ ia rala ngga namahoꞌo nala seli.
30 He must increase, while I must decrease.
Pantin na, Eni musi bau dadꞌi atahori manaseliꞌ nakandoo, ma au bau umukura ukundoo dadꞌi atahori ana dikiꞌ.”
31 He who comes from above, is above everything. He who is from below, is of the earth, and he speaks about the earth. He who comes from heaven is above everything.
Yohanis tute oꞌolan nae, “Ana onda nema mia Lamatualain sia lalai, naeni de Ana monaeꞌ lenaꞌ mia basaꞌ e. Te au uma miaꞌ a raefafoꞌ ia, naeni de au onaꞌ basa atahori mana sia raefafoꞌ ia. Au olaꞌ soꞌal dala mana dadꞌi tungga-tungga fai sia raefafoꞌ ia. Te mana onda nema mia Lamatualain sia lalai a naa, Eni manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ basa e.
32 And what he has seen and heard, about this he testifies. And no one accepts his testimony.
Ana nafadꞌe soꞌal saa fo Ana nita ma rena ena. Te atahori nda simbo no malole saa fo Ana nafadꞌeꞌ a sa.
33 Whoever has accepted his testimony has certified that God is truthful.
Mete ma atahori simbo saa fo Atahori mana nema mia ataꞌ naa nefadꞌen, naa o natudꞌu bukti boe oi, namahere Lamatualain oꞌolan naa, tebꞌe.
34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God. For God does not give the Spirit by measure.
Atahori fo Lamatualain haitua nemaꞌ a, nafadꞌe Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin. Te Lamatualain fee Dula-dalen nda mana etu mana basaꞌ sa neu Eni ena.
35 The Father loves the Son, and he has given everything into his hand.
Huu Amaꞌ sia sorga sue nala Anan seli. Ma Ana fee basa-bꞌasaꞌ e neu Anaꞌ naa liman ena.
36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But whoever is unbelieving toward the Son shall not see life; instead the wrath of God remains upon him.” (aiōnios g166)
Ma atahori mana namahere neu Anan, ara hambu masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ nda mana basaꞌ sa. Te atahori nda mana namahere neu E sa, ma nda tao tungga hehelu-fufulin sa, ara nda hambu masodꞌaꞌ naa sa, huu Lamatualain akaꞌ natudꞌuꞌ a nasan fo huku-doki se.” (aiōnios g166)
