John 3
1 Now there was a man among the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
Oasr sie mwet kol lun mwet Jew pangpang Nicodemus, su ma in u lun mwet Pharisee.
2 The same went to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that you have come as a teacher from God, because no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.”
Sie fong ah el som nu yurin Jesus ac fahk nu sel, “Rabbi, kut etu lah kom sie mwet luti supweyukme sin God. Wangin sie mwet ku in oru mwenmen ma kom oru God El fin tia welul.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly I say to you, unless someone is begotten from Above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.”
Jesus el fahk, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu sum: sie mwet el fin tia sifil isusla, el koflana liye Tokosrai lun God.”
4 Nicodemus says to Him: “How can a man be begotten, being old? He can't enter his mother's womb a second time and be born, can he?”
Na Nicodemus el siyuk sel, “Sie mwet matu ac sifilpa osweyukla fuka? Mea, el ku in sifil ilyak nu insien nina kial ac isusla pacl se akluo?”
5 Jesus answered: “Most assuredly I say to you, unless someone is begotten by water and Spirit he is not able to enter the kingdom of God.
Jesus el topuk, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu sum: sie mwet el fin tia isusla ke kof ac Ngun, el koflana ilyak nu in Tokosrai lun God.
6 That which has been begotten by the flesh is flesh, and that which has been begotten by the Spirit is spirit.
Mwet su isusla ke ikwa, ma lun ikwa; a mwet su isusla ke Ngun, ma lun ngun.
7 Do not be perplexed that I said to you, ‘You (pl) need to be begotten from Above.’
Nik kom lut mweyen nga fahk lah kowos nukewa enenu in sifilpa isusla.
8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you (sg) hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who has been begotten by the Spirit.”
Eng uh tuh nu yen el lungse. Kom lohng kusa, a kom tia etu yen el tuku we me, ku yen el ac som nu we. Ac oapana inge elos nukewa su isusla ke Ngun.”
9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”
Nicodemus el siyuk, “Mea, ku in ouingan?”
10 Jesus answered and said to Him: “You are the teacher of Israel, yet you do not understand these things?
Jesus el topuk, “Kom sie mwet luti fulat in Israel, ya pwaye kom tia etu ma se inge?
11 Most assuredly I say to you, we speak what we know and testify to what we have seen, but you (pl) do not receive our testimony.
Nga fahk na pwaye nu sum: kut kaskas ke ma kut etu, ac fahkak ma kut liye uh. Ne ouinge, wangin sie suwos lulalfongi ma kut fahk uh.
12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I should tell you the heavenly?
Kowos tia lulalfongiyu ke nga fahk nu suwos ke ma lun faclu, na kowos ac lulalfongiyu fuka nga fin kaskas ke ma nu inkusrao?
13 No one has gone up into Heaven except the One who came down out of Heaven —the Son of the Man, who is in Heaven.
Soenna oasr sie mwet na sowak nu inkusrao sayen Wen nutin Mwet, su oatui inkusrao me.”
14 Also, just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, just so the Son of the Man must be lifted up,
Oana ke Moses el tuh srupusrak serpent bronze soko fin sak soko in acn mwesis ah, in ouiya sacna Wen nutin Mwet el fah sripsripyak,
15 so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
tuh elos nukewa su lulalfongi in el elos fah ku in ilyak nu ke sie moul sasu wangin saflaiya. (aiōnios g166)
16 Because God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Tuh God El lungse faclu ouinge: El ase Wen sefanna natul, tuh elos nukewa su lulalfongi in el fah tia misa, a elos fah eis moul ma pahtpat. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God did not send His Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.
Tuh God El tia supwama Wen natul in tuh nununku faclu, a tuh faclu in eis moul kacl.
18 The one believing into Him is not condemned, but the one not believing has already been condemned, because he has not believed into the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Kutena mwet su lulalfongi in Wen el tia nununkeyuk; tusruktu kutena mwet su tia lulalfongi, el nununkeyuk tari, mweyen el tia lulalfongi in Wen sefanna nutin God.
19 “Now this is the basis for the condemning, that the Light has come into the world, but the people loved the darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were malignant.
Pa inge luman nununku sac: kalem tuku tari nu faclu, a mwet uh elos lungse lohsr yohk liki kalem sac, mweyen orekma lalos uh koluk.
20 For whoever practices evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds may not be exposed.
Kutena mwet su oru ma koluk el srunga kalem, ac el fah tia tuku nu ke kalem, mweyen el tia lungse orekma koluk lal in liyeyuk.
21 But whoever does the truth comes to the Light so that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they are done in God.”
A kutena mwet su oru ma pwaye el tuku nu ke kalem, tuh in kalem lah ma el oru el oru in akos God.
22 After these things Jesus, with His disciples, went into the Judean countryside, and there He spent time with them and baptized.
Tukun ma inge, Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos som nu in acn Judea, ac el muta yorolos we ke kutu pacl, ac el baptaisi mwet.
23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salem, because there was plenty of water there. And people were coming and being baptized;
John el oayapa oru baptais lal in acn Aenon apkuran nu Salim, mweyen yohk kof in acn sac. Mwet uh fahsrel ac el baptaiselos.
24 for John had not yet been thrown into prison.
(Ma inge ma meet liki John el kapiri in presin.)
25 Then some of John's disciples had an argument with a Judean about purification.
Kutu sin mwet lutlut lal John mutawauk in akukuin yurin sie mwet Jew ke ouiyen aknasnas ke alu lun mwet Jew.
26 So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the One who was with you across the Jordan, about whom you have testified—well, here He is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to Him!”
Ke ma inge elos som nu yorol John ac fahk nu sel, “Mwet Luti, kom esam mwet se ma tuh wi kom layen kutulap ke infacl Jordan, mwet se ma kom tuh fahkak kac ah? Inge el wi pac orek baptais, ac mwet uh rirla nu yorol!”
27 John answered and said: “A person can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from Heaven.
John el topuk, “Wangin ma ku in sikyak nu sin sie mwet, fin tia ma sin God me.
28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent ahead of Him.’
Kowos sifacna mwet loh luk ke nga tuh fahk, ‘Tia nga pa Christ, a supweyukme nga meet lukel.’
29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and hears him, has great joy at the bridegroom's voice. So this my joy has been fulfilled.
In pacl in marut, mukul se ma marut uh ac ma kial pa mutan sac. Tusruktu mwet kawuk se lun mukul sac el engankin lah el tu siskal ac lohng pusren mukul marut sac. Ouinge engan luk uh oapana engan lun mukul se ma kawuk lun mukul marut sacn.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Ac fah puseni mwet fahsr tukun Jesus, ac mwet luk uh ac fah pueni.”
31 “He who comes from Above is above all; he who is from the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all.
El su tuku lucng me el fulat liki nukewa. El su ma faclu me el ma lun faclu ac el kaskas ke ma lun faclu, a el su tuku inkusrao me el fulat liki nukewa.
32 And to what He has seen and heard He testifies, yet no one receives His testimony.
El fahkak ke ma el liye ac lohng tari, a wangin mwet lulalfongi ma el fahk uh.
33 The one who receives His testimony certifies that God is true.
Kutena mwet su lulalfongi ma el fahk, el akkalemye lah el lulalfongi lah ma God El fahk uh ma pwaye.
34 For He whom God sent speaks God's words, because God does not give the Spirit by measure.
El su God El supwama el fahk kas lun God, mweyen God El sang nufon Ngun lal nu sel.
35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.
Papa El lungse Wen natul, ac El sang elan ku fin ma nukewa.
36 The one believing into the Son has eternal life, but the one disobeying the Son will not see the Life, but the wrath of God will remain upon him.” (aiōnios g166)
Kutena mwet su lulalfongi ke Wen oasr moul ma pahtpat lal. Kutena mwet su seakos Wen fah wangin moul lal, a el ac fah mutana ye kaiyuk lun God. (aiōnios g166)
