John 3
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Mbe aliga alio Farisayo unu lisina lyaye Nikodemo, oumwi.
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him.
Omunu unu amulubhile Esebhugenyi mungeta namubwila ati, “Ribi, chimenyele kubha uli mutangasha osokele ku Nyamuanga, Kulwejo atalio omunu unu katula okutula ebhibhalikisho bhinu vyona Nyamuanga akalema okubha amwi nage.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Yesu nasubya ati, “Nichimali, chimali, omunu atakutula okwingila mu bhukama bwa Nyamuanga atebhuwe kwiya kabhili.”
4 Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Nikodemo naika ati,” Omunu katula kutiki okwibhulwa alabha mukaluka? atakutula kwingila munda ya nyilamwene olwa kabhili nebhulwa mbe katula?”
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Yesu nasubya ati, “Nichimali, chimali omunu akalema okwibhulwa kwa manji na kwa Mwoyo, atakutula kwingila mubhukama bwa Nyamuanga.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Chinu chibhuwe kwo mubhili no mubhili, na chinu chibhuliwe kwo Mwoyo ni mwoyo.
7 Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again.
Usigekulugula kwo kubha nakubwiliye, nibhusi husi okwibhulwa kabhili.'
8 The wind blows where it wants, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Omuyanga oguyemba wona wona eyo ogwenda no bhulaka bwae omubhugwa, nawe mutakumenya eyo ogusoka neyo oguja. Nikwo kutyo jili bhuli unu ebhuwe no mwoyo.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
Nikodemo nasubya ati, kwo kwaika, “Emisango jinu ejikolekana kutiki?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a master of Israel, and know not these things?
Yesu nasubya ati, “Awe ni mwiigisha wa Israeli, nolwo otakumenya emisango jinu?
11 Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness.
Nichimali, chimali nakubwila ati, chiliya echoechimenya chachibhambaliye ku chiliya echoechilola. Mbe mutakulamila obhubhambasi bweswe.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
Alabha nabhabwila emisango ja kuchalo namutakwikilisha, omutula kutiki okwikilisha alabha nabhabwila emisango mulwile?
13 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
Mbe atalio unu alinyile ingulu okusoka mulwile tali unu ekile, Omwana wo munu.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Kulwejo Musa ayanikile injoka ibhala, kutyo kutyo Omwana wo munu bhusibhusi ayanikwe,
Koleleki bhona bhanu bhamwikilishe bhabhone obhuanga bwa kajanende. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
Kwo kubha nikwo kutyo Nyamuanga achendele echalo ati namusosha Omwana wae umwila, Koleleki bhuli munu wona wona amwikilishe ataja kubhula nawe abhe no bhuanga bwa kajanende. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Kwo kubha Nyamuanga atamukutula Omwana wae achilamulile echalo chikilbwe kumwene.
18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Unu kamwikilisha atakulamulwa. Unu atakelisishe alamuwe kwo kubha atalikilisishe lisina lwo Mwana umwila was Nyamuanga.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Inu niyo injuno yo kulamula, ati obwelu bwijile muchalo, nawe bhanya bhanu nibhenda echisute okukila obwelu kwo kubha ebhikolwa byabho byalinga bhibhibhi.
20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Bhuli munu Unu kakola bhubhibhi kabhiililwa obwelu nolwo atakuja mubwelu Koleleki ebhikolwa byae byasiga okutulwa abwelu.
21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.
Nawe, unu kakola echimali kaja mubwelu koleleki ebhikolwa byae bhibhokane ati byakolelwe kwa likusho lya Nyamuanga.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
Wejile ejo jawa, Yesu amwi na bheigisibwa mbagenda mu chalo cha Yudea. Eyo agegele omwanya amwi nabho aliga nabhatija.
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
Woli Yohana on aliga nabhatija eyo Ainea yei na Salim kwo kubha galiga galio na manji mafu aliya. Abhanu bhaliga nibhaja kumwene nabhabhatija,
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
Kwo kubha Yohana aliga achali okweswa mwibhoyelo.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
Mbe mbabhambashanya abheigisibwa bha Yohana no Muyaudi ku malya gwo kwiyesha.
26 And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, the same baptizes, and all men come to him.
Nibhagenda ku Yohana nibhamubwila ati, “Rabi, unu waliga nage kungego yo mugela gwa Yorodani, unu abhambaliye emisango jaye, lola, nabhatija na bhona abhagenda abhamujako.”
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
Yohana nabhasubya ati omunu atakutula kulamila chinu chona chona tali aguyanibwe okusoka mu lwile.
28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
Emwe abhene mwabhambalila kubha naika ati, 'anye nitali Kristo', nawe naikile ati, 'natumilwe imbele yae.'
29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
Unu ali no mwenga ni mutwasi. Woli omusani wo mutwasi, nemelegulu namungwa ka alikondelwa muno kwo kubha lilaka lyae omutwasi. Inu woli ni kondelelwa lyani likumiye.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Kumwiile okukula, anye kunyiile okukeya.
31 He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he that comes from heaven is above all.
Unu kasoka inguli Ali ingulu ya bhona unu we chalo kasoka muchalo na kaika emisango ja ku chalo. Unu kasoka mulwile niwe katunga byona. Unu kabhambalila galiya ago alolele
32 And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man receives his testimony.
nokugongwa, nawe atalio unu alamiye obhubhambasi bwae.
33 He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true.
Unu alamiye obhubhambasi bwae katao echibhalikisho kubha Nyamuanga ni we chimali.
34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him.
Kwo kubha unu atumilwe na Nyamuanga kaika emisango ja Nyamuanga. Okubha atakumuyana omwoyo kwo kulenga.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
Lata kamwenda Omwana na muyaye bhinu bhyona mumabhoko gaye.
36 He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God stays on him. (aiōnios g166)
Unu amwikilisishe Omwana anabyo obhuanga bwa kajanende, nawe ku unu atakumwikilisha Omwana atalibhubhona bhuanga, nawe lisungu lya Nyamuanga limuliko inguluyae. (aiōnios g166)
