< John 3 >
1 There was nowe a man of the Pharises, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Iewes.
Abile Farisayo ywakemilwe lina lyake Nikodemo, yumo ya ajumbe ba baraza lya Ayahudi.
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.
Mundu yoo atin'yendya Ngwana Yesu kilo ni kummakiya”Rabi, tutangite kuwa u mwalimu kuoma kwa Nnongo, kwa mana ntopo mundu ywaweza panga ishara zeno zoti abile pamope ni Nnongo.”
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.
Yesu kayangwa, “Amini, amini, mundu aweza kwaa jingya mu'upwalume wa Nnongo mana abelekwile kwaa mara ya ibele.”
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?
Nikodemo kabaya, “Mundu awesa kinamani belekwa muda abile mpindo? Aweza kwaa jingya mu'ndumbo lya mao bake mara ya na'ibele ni belekwa, je ywaweza?
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.
Yesu kan'yangwa, “Amini amini mundu ywa abelekwile kwaa mu'mase ni kwa Roho, aweza kwaa jingya mu'upwalume wa Nnongo.
6 That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh: and that that is borne of the Spirit, is spirit.
Chabile belekwa ni yega nga yega, na chabelekwile ni Roho nga roho.
7 Marueile not that I said to thee, Yee must be borne againe.
Kana ushangae kwa mana natikukumakiya,'lazima kubelekwa mara ya ibele.'
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.
Mbepo ipuma popoti paupendile ni lilobe lyake mwaiyowa, lakini mtangite kwaa pa'ubokile wala kwouyenda. Nga ibile hali ya kila ywabelekwile ni Roho.
9 Nicodemus answered, and said vnto him, Howe can these things be?
Nikodemo kayangwa, no baya, “Makowe aga gapangika kinamani?
10 Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
Yesu kannyangwa, “Wenga wa mwalimu wa Israeli, hata ugatangite kwaa makowe aga?
11 Verely, verely I say vnto thee, wee speake that we know, and testifie that we haue seene: but yee receiue not our witnesse.
Amini, amini nakumakiya, chelo tukiyowine twaishuhudia kwa chelo twakibweni. Lakini upokea kwaa ushuhuda witu.
12 If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things?
Kati niabakiye makowe ya pano pa'nnema ni mwamini kwaa, muwesa kinamani kuamini kati natikuabakiya makowe ga kumaunde?
13 For no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that hath descended from heauen, that Sonne of man which is in heauen.
Mana ntopo ywapanda nnani kuoma kumaunde ila ywembe ywauluka, mwana wa Adamu.
14 And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp,
Kati Musa mwaankakatuye nngambo mulijangwa, nyonyo Mwana wa Adamu lazima akakatuyilwe,
15 That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shoulde not perish, but haue eternall life. (aiōnios )
ili bote balowa kumwamini bapate ukoti wangayomoka. (aiōnios )
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 )
Kwa mana nga namna yee Nnongo aipendile dunia, kam'boywa mwana wake wa pekee, ili mundu yeyoti ywamwamini kana aangamiye ila abe ni ukoti wangayomoka. (aiōnios )
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.
Kwa mana Nnongo amtumite kwaa mwana wake mu dunia ili kuihukumu dunia ila dunia ilopolewe pitya ywembe.
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.
Ywamwamini ywembe alowa hukumilwa kwaa. Ywembe ywange mwamini tayari atihukumilwa kwa mana aliamini kwaa lina lya Mwana pekee ywa Nnongo.
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.
Ayee nga sababu ya hukumu, ya panga bweya uisile mu'ulimwengu, Lakini bandu kabapenda muno libendo kwa mana makowe gabe gabile mabou.
20 For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued.
kila mundu ywapanga mabou uitola bweya wala aisa kwaa mu'bweya ili makowe gake gabonekane kwaa.
21 But he that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deedes might bee made manifest, that they are wrought according to God.
Lakini, ywembe ywapanga kweli uisa mu'bweya ili makowe gake gabonekane gapangilwe kwa eshima ya Nnongo.
22 After these things, came Iesus and his disciples into the lande of Iudea, and there taried with them, and baptized.
Baada ya aga, Yesu pamope ni anapunzi bake batiyenda mu'nnema ya Yudea. Kolyo kabatumia muda pamope nabo ni abile atiabatiza.
23 And Iohn also baptized in Enon besides Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
Nambeambe Yohana abile atikwabatiza kolyo Ainea papipi ni Salim maana pabile ni mase ganansima palyo.
24 For Iohn was not yet cast into prison.
Kwa mana Yohana abile atabilwe kwa muligereza.
25 Then there arose a question betweene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifying.
Pabile papangilwe mabishano nkati ya anapunzi ba Yohana na Myahudi husu sikukuu ya utakaso.
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.
Kabayenda kwa Yohana kabammakiya, “Rabi, ywembe waubile niywembe ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, ywembe ywashuhudia habari yake, linga, aabatiza ni bote bayenda kunkengama.”
27 Iohn answered, and saide, A man can receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen.
Yohana kayangwa mundu aweza kwaa pokya kilebe chochote ila kati ywapeilwe kuoma kumaunde.
28 Yee your selues are my witnesses, that I sayde, I am not that Christ, but that I am sent before him.
Mwenga mwabene mwatishuhudia kuwa nabayite kuwa,'nenga kwaa Kristo,'badala yake nabayite,'Nitumilwe nnonge yake.'
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.
Ywembe ywabile ni bibi arusi nga ngwana arusi. Nambeambe mbwiga wa ngwana arusi, ywayema ni kuyowa upulaiya muno kwa sababu ya lilobe lya ngwana arusi. Ayee nga puraha yango ya itimilike.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Apalikwa yongeya, ni nenga nipalikwa pongwa.
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.
Ywembe ywaboka kunani, abile nnani ya yoti. Ywembe ywabile ba ulimwengu abaka mu'ulimwengu. Ywembe ywaboka kumaunde abile nnani ya goti.
32 And what hee hath seene and heard, that he testifieth: but no man receiueth his testimonie.
Ywembe ushuhudia galo agabweni ni kugayowa, lakini ntopo ywapokya ushuhuda bake.
33 He that hath receiued his testimonie, hath sealed that God is true.
Ywembe ywapokya ushuhuda bake atihakikisha kuwa Nnongo nga mkweli.
34 For hee whome God hath sent, speaketh the woordes of God: for God giueth him not the Spirit by measure.
Kwa mana yolo ywatumilwe ni Nnongo ulongela maneno ga Nnongo. kwa mana ampeya kwaa mu'kipimo.
35 The Father loueth the Sonne, and hath giuen all things into his hande.
Tate umpenda mwana ni kumpeya ilebe yoti mumaboko gake.
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 )
Ywembe ywaaminiye mwana abile ni ukoti wanga yomoka, lakini kwa ywembe ywa mweshimu kwaa mwana aubweni kwaa ukoti, ila ghadhabu ya Nnongo ubile nnani yake. (aiōnios )
