John 3
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Basi kwajhele ni Farisayo ambajhe lihina lya muene Nikodemo, mmonga wa bhajumbe wa baraza lya bhayahudi.
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Munu ojho andotili Bwana Yesu pakilu ni kun'jobhela, “Rabi, tumanyili kujha bhebhe mwalimu kuh'omela kwa K'yara, kwa maana ajhelepi munu jha ibhwesya kubhomba ishara ese syoha sya K'yara isipokujha pamonga ni bhebhe.”
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Yesu ajibili, “Aminiayi, aminiayi, munu ibhwesyalepi kujhingila mu bhufalme bhwa k'yara kama ahogiliki lepi mara jha pili.”
4 Nicodemus saith unto 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 akajobha,” Munu ibhwesya bhuli kuh'ogoleka akajhelayi nseya? Ibhwesya lepi kujhingila mu lileme mwa nyinamunu mara ya pili ni kuhogoleka, je ibhwesya?”
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Yesu ajibili, “Aminiayi, aminiayi munu kama ahogoliki lepi kwa masi ni kwa Roho, ibhwesya lepi kujhingila mu bhufalme bhwa K'yara.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Kyakihogoliki ni mb'ele ni mb'ele, na kyakihogoliki kwa Roho ni roho.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Usishangali kwa ndabha nakujobhili, 'ni lazima kuh'ogoleka mara jha pili.'
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Mp'ongo ghwibhuma popoha pa wilonda ni sauti jhiake mukajhipeleka, lakini mumanyilepi kwa wihoma wala kwa wilota. Ndivyo kyajhijhele hali jha kila jhaahogoliki ni roho.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Nikodemo ajibili, kwa kujobha, “Mambo agha ghibhwessekana bhuli?”
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
Yesu akan'jibu, “Bhebhe ghwa mwalimu wa Israeli, hata ughamanyi lepi mambo agha?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikujobhela khela kyatukimanyili tukakishuhudila kwa khela kya tukibhuene. Lakini mwipokela lepi bhushuda bhwa tete.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
Kama nibhajobhili mambo agha apa pa duniani na mwiamini lepi, mubetakuamini bhuli nikabhajobhilayi mambo gha kumbinguni?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
Maana ajhelepi jha akwelili kunani kuhomela kumbinguni isipokujha muene jhaaselili, Mwana ghwa Adamu.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Kama vile Musa kya ajhinuili liyoka jangwani, mebhu ni Mwana ghwa Adamu lazima ajhinulibhwayi,
ili kwamba bhoha bhabhibetakumwamini bhakabhayi uzima bhwa milele. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
Kwa maana jinsi ejhe K'yara abhuganili bhulimwengu, kwamba akambosya mwanamunu ghwa pekee, ili kwamba munu yeyioha jhaakamwamini asijhangamili bali ajhelayi ni uzima bhwa milele. (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.
Kwa ndabha K'yara antumilepi mwanamunu pa dunia ili kubhuhukumu ulimwengu, bali ulimwengu uokolibhwayi kup'etela muene.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Jhaibetakumwamini muene ibetalepi kuhukumulibhwa. Bhebhe jhaiamini lepi tayari amalikuhukumulibhwa kwa ndabha abelikuliamini lihina lya Mwana pekee ghwa K'yara.
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.
Ejhe ndo sababu jha hukumu, jha kujha nuru ihidili ulimwengu, lakini bhanadamu bhaganili ngisi zaidi jha nuru kwandabha matendo gha bhene ghajhe maovu.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
kila munu jhaibhomba mabhibhi akayidadila nuru wala ihidalepi mu nuru ili matendo gha muene ghasihidi kubhakibhwa wazi.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Lakini, muene jha ibhomba kweli ihida mu nuru ili matendo gha muene ghabhonekanayi kujha ghabhombibhu kwa utiifu bhwa K'yara.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
Baada jha agha, Yesu pamonga ni bhanafunzi bha muene bhakalota mpaka nchi ya Yudea. Okhu atumili muda pamonga nabhu na abatisieghe.
23 And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
Henu Yohana pia ajhele ibatisya okhu Ainea karibu ni Salim maana kwajhele ni masi mingi pala. Bhanu bhakajha bhihida kwa muene ni kubatisibhwa,
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
kwa kujha Yohana ajheasopibhulepi mu ligereza.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
Kisha ghatokili mabishano kati jha bhanafunzi bha Yohana ni Myahudi kuhusu sikukuu sya utakaso.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
Bhakalota kwa Yohana bhakan'jobhela, “Rabi, muene jhaukajhenaku kwiselya ya kiholo Yorodani, muene ghwashuhudili habari sya muene, langayi, ibatisya ni bhoha bhilota bhakan'kesya.”
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
Yohana ajibili munu ibhwesyalepi kupokela khenu kyokyoha isipokujha kama apelibhu kuh'omela kumbinguni.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
Mwejhomu mwishuhudila kujha najobhili kujha, 'nene na Kristu lepi', badala jhiake najobhili, 'nitumibhu mbele jha muene.'
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
Muene jha ajhe ni bibi arusi ndo bwana arusi. Henu rafiki wa bwana arusi, jhaijhema ni kup'elekesya ifurahibhwa sana kwa ndabha jha sauti jha bwana arusi. Ejhe henu ndo furaha jha nene jha jhitimiliki.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Ilondeka kuzidi, nani nilondeka kup'ongola.
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
Muene jha ihoma kunani, ajhele panani pa fyoha. Muene jha ajhele ghwa ulimwengu ihomela kuulimwengu na ilongela mambo gha kiulimwengu. Muene jha ihomela kumbinguni ajhele panani pa ghoha.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
Muene ishuhudila ghala ghaaghabhwene ni kughap'eleka, lakini ajhelepi jhaipokela ushuhuda bhwa mwene.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
Muene jha apokili ushuhuda bhwa muene ahakikishi kujha K'yara ndo mkweli.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
Kwa ndabha muene jhaatumibhu ni K'yara ilongela malobhi gha K'yara. kwa kujha akampela lepi Roho kwa kip'emu.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
Baba akan'gana Mwana na ampelili fenu fyoha mu mabhoko gha muene.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
Muene jha akamwamini Mwana ajhenabhu uzima bhwa milele, lakini kwa muene jha abelikun'tii ibetalepi kubhubhona bhuzima, bali ghadhabu jha K'yara jhikamulana panani pa muene. (aiōnios g166)
