John 3
1 There was nowe a man of the Pharises, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Iewes.
Pakhuva pale nu Falisayo ovikhela ngiwa Nikodemo, paninie na vafumbwe vavakhegi va Vayahudi.
2 This man came to Iesus by night, and sayd vnto him, Rabbi, we knowe ye thou art a teacher come from God: for no man could do these miracles that thou doest, except God were with him.
Umunu oyo akhandutile umbakha u Yesu pakelo nukhumbula, “Rabi, tulumanyile ukhuta ulemanyisi ukhukhuma khwa Nguluve, pakhuva asikholi uyiwesya ukhavomba indagelo nchooni incha Nguluve pupaninie numwene.”
3 Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except a man be borne againe, he can not see the kingdome of God.
U Yesuakhanda, “Lweli, lweli, umunu siwesya ukhwingela muvotwa ovwa Nguluve angalekhe okhokholiwe mala ya vele.”
4 Nicodemus sayde vnto him, Howe can a man be borne which is olde? can he enter into his mothers wombe againe, and be borne?
Unikodemo akhanchova, “Umunu iwesya ndakhekhi okhokholiwa angave igogolo? Siwesya okhwingila igati mulitumbo elwa mama vamwene mala ya vele nu khukholwa, je yiwesekhana?”
5 Iesus answered, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except that a man be borne of water and of the Spirite, hee can not enter into the kingdome of God.
U Yesu akhavanda, “Lweli, lweli umunu inave sikholiwa na magasi nu Mepo, siwesya okhwingila muvutwa owa Nguluve.
6 That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh: and that that is borne of the Spirit, is spirit.
Ekhekholiwe nu mbele khya mbele, ne khekholiwe khu Mepo khwa mepo.
7 Marueile not that I said to thee, Yee must be borne againe.
Mulekhe okhosyiga pakhuva nekhavavolile, vinogiwa okhokholiwa akhasekhe akhavele.'
8 The winde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it commeth, and whither it goeth: so is euery man that is borne of the Spirit.
Emepu yikula khwakhwoni okhuyinogwa ne savoti ya yene mukhuyipolekha, pakhuva samukhweliwa ukhuwikhuma khuwi luta. Voyelevo ehali eyakholiwe nu mepo.
9 Nicodemus answered, and said vnto him, Howe can these things be?
Unikodemo akhanda, nu khunchova, “Imbombo inchi nchiwesekhana ndeti?”
10 Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
U Yesu akhanda, “Uveve ve ndogonchi vava Israeli, pakhuva sunchimanyile imbombo inchi?
11 Verely, verely I say vnto thee, wee speake that we know, and testifie that we haue seene: but yee receiue not our witnesse.
Lweli, lweli, nikhokhovula, khela ekhetu khemanyile nemivele nukholola. Pakhuva samukhwopelela emivele gweto.
12 If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things?
Inave nevavalile imbombo incha pakhelunga samukhwedekha, yamuwesya okhwedekha ningavavole imbombo incha khukwanya?
13 For no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that hath descended from heauen, that Sonne of man which is in heauen.
Pakhuva asikholi oya togile khukwanya pakhuva khukwanya pakhuva umwene oyoakhikhile, oswambe va Adamu.
14 And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp,
Pu yengave ndo Musa uluakhayemikhe enjokha khulijangwa, vovolevole umwaleve va Adamu lasima emenchiwe,
pakhuva vooni avavikhumwedekha vave nu wumi uwa sikhu nchooni. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loued the worlde, that hee hath giuen his onely begotten Sonne, that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
Pakhuva khunjila eye Unguluve akheganile ekhelunga, khukhuta oswambe va mwene, khukhuta amunu oyikhamwedekha alekhe okhosaga ila ave nu wumi wa sikhu nchooni. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not his Sonne into the world, that he should condemne the world, but that the world through him might be saued.
Pakhuva u Nguluve sakhasukhe oswambe pakhelunga ili akhege ekhelunga, khukhuta ekhelunga khepone okhogendela omwene.
18 Hee that beleeueth in him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because he hath not beleeued in the Name of that onely begotten Sonne of God.
Oyikhomwamini sakhakhegiwe. Oyosikhomwamini tayali akhegiwe pukhuva salwaminile ilitawa elwa swambe va Nguluve.
19 And this is the condemnation, that that light came into the worlde, and men loued darknesse rather then that light, because their deedes were euill.
Eye yonjila ya vukhegi, pakhuta olomuli lwinchile nkelunga, pakhuva avanu vakhano gwa ekelo saidi ya olomuli pakhuva imbombo inchavo nchale mu mbivi.
20 For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued.
Pakhuva oyivomba imbivi ikholovipela alomuli pukhuva sigenda ndomuli idwada ukhuta imbombo inchamwene yanchivonekha.
21 But he that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deedes might bee made manifest, that they are wrought according to God.
Pakhuva, oyivomba elweli ikhwincha ndomuli ni mbombo incha mwene nchivonekha ukhuta nchilimbogolofu wa Nguluve.
22 After these things, came Iesus and his disciples into the lande of Iudea, and there taried with them, and baptized.
Akhasekhe akha, o Yesu paninie na vakongi vamwene vakhaluta khukhelunga khwa Yudea. Okwa atolile akhasekhe paninie na vene alevooncha.
23 And Iohn also baptized in Enon besides Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
Pakhuva u Yohana alekhwoncha khukhukhwu Ainea igati mu Salim pakhuva pale na magasi mingi avanu valekhwincha khumwene nu khwonchiwa,
24 For Iohn was not yet cast into prison.
pakhuva Oyohana sakhadendeliwa igati.
25 Then there arose a question betweene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifying.
Pakhuva savalekhwelevana avakongi Yohana na Vayahudi ukhokhusu ishelekhe incha lwesayo.
26 And they came vnto Iohn, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iorden, to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
Vakhaluta khwa Yohana vakhata, “Rabi, umwene uvekhale nave khumwabo khulo gasi olu Yorodani, uvemukhalolile emivele ni mbombo incha mwene, lola, ikhwoncha vooni viluta vikhukonga.”
27 Iohn answered, and saide, A man can receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen.
U Yohana akhanda akhata umunu siwesya ukhwupelela ekhenu khyokhyoni pekhuva apeviwe ukhukhuma khwa Nguluve.
28 Yee your selues are my witnesses, that I sayde, I am not that Christ, but that I am sent before him.
Yumwe nemivele gwenyo mwinchova ukhuta, 'one si Klisiti', pakhuva ya pene nekhanchovile, 'nesukhiwa khuvolongolo khumwene.'
29 He that hath the bride, is the bridegrome: but the friend of the bridegrome which standeth and heareth him, reioyceth greatly, because of the bridegromes voyce. This my ioy therefore is fulfilled.
Umwene ovale nu bibi arusi ale mbakha va harusi. Leno olokololwe va mbakha va harusi, oyikhwema nukhupulekhencha imbakha sinchopakhuva khulimenyu elya mbakha va harusi olo lulukhekhelo ulwango olwedikhe.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Inogiwa okhotoga, nayone ninogiwa okhwikha.
31 Hee that is come from an hie, is aboue all: he that is of the earth, is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: hee that is come from heauen, is aboue all.
Ovikhuma khukyanya, alekhukyanya khugoni. Umwene uvakhelunga ikhuma mukhelunga puinchova imbombo incha khelunga. Ovikhuma khwa Nguluve alekhukyanya khugoni.
32 And what hee hath seene and heard, that he testifieth: but no man receiueth his testimonie.
Omwene veinchova agalolile nukhupulekha, Pakhuva asipali ovikhwopelela emivele gwa mwene.
33 He that hath receiued his testimonie, hath sealed that God is true.
Umwene uvikhwopela emivele egwa mwene edikhe ukhu u Nguluve ve lweli.
34 For hee whome God hath sent, speaketh the woordes of God: for God giueth him not the Spirit by measure.
Pakhuva avasukhiwe nu Nguluve inchova amamenyu aga Nguluve. Pakhuva sikhupa Umepo khwa khupima.
35 The Father loueth the Sonne, and hath giuen all things into his hande.
Ubaba aganile oswambe ikhupa vyooni ifilemavokho aga mwene.
36 Hee that beleeueth in the Sonne, hath euerlasting life, and hee that obeyeth not the Sonne, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
Uvikhomwedekha oswambe ale nu wumi lweli, pakhuva oyosikhi mwedekha sikhovovona awumi, pakhuva uvukalale ovwa Nguluve wikhwibatana nu mwene. (aiōnios g166)
