John 3
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Hambu atahori esa mia partei agama Farisi, naran Nikodemus. Eni, atahori Yahudi ra meser monaen esa.
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.
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 answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot 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 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?
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 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.
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 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Huu atahori nenebonggiꞌ mia atahori, te atahori dula-dalen nenebonggi feuꞌ mia Lamatualain Dula-dalen.
7 Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again.
Afiꞌ tabanganga mete ma Au ae, ‘Hei musi nenebonggi feuꞌ, fo hambu masodꞌa feuꞌ.’
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.
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 answered and said to him, How can these things be?
Basa ma Nikodemus natane nae, “Taꞌo bee de bisa dadꞌi taꞌo naa?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a master of Israel, and know not 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 Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness.
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 told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of 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 man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which 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 as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so 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, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting 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 sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
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 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.
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 condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds 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 every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
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 he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked 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 came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
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 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were 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 was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
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 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.
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 answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given 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 bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am 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 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.
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, but I must decrease.
Pantin na, Eni musi bau dadꞌi atahori manaseliꞌ nakandoo, ma au bau umukura ukundoo dadꞌi atahori ana dikiꞌ.”
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.
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, that he testifies; and no man receives 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 He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true.
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 gives not the Spirit by measure to him.
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 has given all things into his hand.
Huu Amaꞌ sia sorga sue nala Anan seli. Ma Ana fee basa-bꞌasaꞌ e neu Anaꞌ naa liman ena.
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)
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)
