John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ᎡᎲᎩ ᏂᎦᏗᎹᏏ ᏧᏙᎢᏛ, ᎠᏂᏆᎵᏏᏱ ᎤᏤᎵᎪᎯ, ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᏗᎬᏩᏁᎶᏗ ᎨᏒᎩ.
2 this one came to Him by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we have known that You have come from God—a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that You do, if God may not be with him.”
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏌ ᎤᎷᏤᎸᎩ ᏒᏃᏱ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᏗᏍᏇᏲᎲᏍᎩ, ᎣᏥᎦᏔᎭ ᏔᏕᏲᎲᏍᎩ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏅᏓᏣᏅᏏᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ: ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᎤᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ ᏥᏕᏣᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎭ ᏱᏙᎬᏩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏏ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏂᏚᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗᏙᎲᎾᏱᎩ.
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God”;
ᏥᏌ ᎤᏁᏨ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᎤᏙ ᎯᏳᎯᏯ, ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏯ ᎯᎠ ᏂᎬᏪᏎᎭ, ᎩᎶ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎤᏕᏅᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎢᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎥᏝ ᏴᎬᎪᏩᏛ ᎾᎿᎭᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᎬᏫ ᏳᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ.
4 Nicodemus says to Him, “How is a man able to be born, being old? Is he able to enter into the womb of his mother a second time, and to be born?”
ᏂᎦᏗᎹᏏᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᎦᏙ ᏱᎦᎵᏍᏙᏓ ᏴᏫ ᏯᏕᎲᎦ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᏱᎩ? ᏥᎪ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎤᏥᏏᏱ ᏫᏯᏴᎭ, ᏯᏕᎲᎦ?
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of God;
ᏥᏌ ᎤᏁᏨᎩ; ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏯ, ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏯ ᎯᎠ ᏂᎬᏪᏎᎭ, ᎩᎶ ᎠᎹ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎬᏩᎾᏄᎪᏫᏒᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎢᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎥᏝ ᏴᎬᏴᎭ ᎾᎿᎭᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ.
6 that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎤᎾᏄᎪᏫᏒᎯ ᎤᏇᏓᎵᏉ ᎨᏐᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᎾᏄᎪᏫᏒᎯ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎨᏐᎢ.
7 You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
ᏞᏍᏗ ᏣᏍᏆᏂᎪᏒᎩ ᎠᏎ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎢᏣᏕᏗ, ᏥᎬᏲᏏ.
8 the Spirit blows where [that] One wills, and you hear [that] One’s voice, but you have not known from where [that] One comes, and to where [that] One goes; thus is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”

9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
ᏂᎦᏗᎹᏏ ᎤᏁᏨ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᎦᏙ ᏱᎦᎵᏍᏙᏓ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏱᏄᏍᏗ?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?
ᏥᏌ ᎤᏁᏨ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᏥᎪ ᏔᏕᏲᎲᏍᎩ ᎢᏏᎵ ᎠᏁᎲᎢ, ᏂᎦᏔᎲᎾᏃ ᎢᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ.
11 Truly, truly, I say to you, what We have known We speak, and what We have seen We testify, and you do not receive Our testimony;

12 if I spoke to you of the earthly things, and you do not believe, how, if I will speak to you of the heavenly things, will you believe?
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎡᎶᎯ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏔᏂᏙᎲ ᎢᏨᏃᎮᎮᎸ ᏂᏦᎯᏳᎲᏍᎬᎾ ᏱᎩ, ᎦᏙ ᏱᎦᎵᏍᏙᏓ ᏱᏦᎯᏳᎲᎦ, ᎦᎸᎳᏗ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏔᏂᏙᎲ ᏱᏨᏃᎮᎮᎸ?
13 And no one has gone up to Heaven, except He who came down out of Heaven—the Son of Man who is in Heaven.
ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎦᎸᎳᏗ ᏫᏳᎶᏐᎢ, ᎦᎸᎳᏗ ᏅᏓᏳᎶᏒᎯ ᎤᏩᏒ, ᏴᏫ ᎤᏪᏥ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᎸᎳᏗ ᏤᎭ.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up,
ᎠᎴ ᎼᏏ ᎢᎾᏛ ᏧᏌᎳᏓᏁ ᎢᎾᎨᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏴᏫ ᎤᏪᏥ ᏓᏰᏥᏌᎳᏗᏂ,
15 that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life, (aiōnios g166)
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎩᎶ ᎪᎯᏳᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎤᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎬᏂᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏩᏛᏗ. (aiōnios g166)
16 for God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life. (aiōnios g166)
ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᏂᎦᎥᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᎨᏳᏒᎩ ᎡᎶᎯ, ᏕᎤᏲᏒᎩ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ ᎤᏪᏥ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏩᏒᎯᏳ ᎤᏕᏁᎸᎯ, ᎩᎶ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏱᎪᎯᏳᎲᏍᎦ ᎤᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎬᏂᏛᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏩᏛᏗ. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God did not send His Son into the world that He may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through Him;
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎤᎷᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᏴᏧᏅᏒ ᎤᏪᏥ ᏧᏭᏓᏁᏗᏱ ᎡᎶᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎠᏥᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ.
18 he who is believing in Him is not judged, but he who is not believing has been judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.
ᎩᎶ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏥᎪᎯᏳᎲᏍᎪᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎤᏍᎦᏅᏨᎯ ᏧᏚᎪᏔᏅᎯ ᏱᎨᏐᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎩᏂ Ꮎ ᏂᎪᎯᏳᎲᏍᎬᎾ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏳᎳ ᎤᏍᎦᏅᏨᎯ ᏧᏚᎪᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏐᎢ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎪ ᏄᏬᎯᏳᏅᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏪᏥ ᏕᎤᏙᎥ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏩᏒᎯᏳ ᎤᏕᏁᎸᎯ.
19 And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎤᏂᏍᎦᏅᏨ ᏥᏚᎾᏚᎪᏓᏁᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎦᎦᏘ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎤᎾᏄᎪᏥᎸ, ᎠᎴ ᏴᏫ ᎤᏟ ᎤᏂᏰᎸᏅ ᎤᎵᏏᎩ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᎢᎦ-ᎦᏘ, ᏚᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲᏰᏃ ᎤᏲᎢᏳ ᎨᏒᎩ.
20 for everyone who is doing wicked things hates the light, and does not come into the light, that his works may not be detected;
ᎤᏲᏰᏃ ᏧᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᎠᏍᎦᎪ ᎢᎦᎦᏘ, ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᏱᎦᎷᎪ ᎢᎦᎦᏛᎢ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎪ ᏄᏚᎵᏍᎬᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏄᏍᏛ ᏚᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲᎢ.
21 but he who is doing the truth comes into the light, that his works may be revealed, that in God they are having been worked.”

22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏂᏙᎸ, ᏥᏌ ᎠᎴ ᎬᏩᏍᏓᏩᏗᏙᎯ ᏧᏗᏱ ᏭᏂᎶᏒᎩ, ᎾᎿᎭᏃ ᎤᏁᏙᎸᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏚᏓᏬᎥᎩ.
23 and John was also immersing in Aenon, near to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being immersed—
ᏣᏂᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎢᏃᏂ ᏓᏓᏬᏍᎬᎩ, ᏎᎵᎻ ᎾᎥᎢ, ᎾᎿᎭᏰᏃ ᎤᏣᏛᎩ ᎠᎹ. ᎠᏂᎷᎬᎩᏃ ᎠᎴ ᏕᎨᎦᏬᏍᎬᎩ.
24 for John was not yet cast into the prison—
ᏣᏂᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎠᏏ ᏗᏓᏍᏚᏗᏱ ᏯᏥᏴᏗᏍᎨᎢ.
25 there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᎧᏃᎮᏗ ᏄᎾᎵᏍᏓᏁᎸᎩ ᏣᏂ ᎬᏩᏍᏓᏩᏗᏙᎯ ᎠᏂᏧᏏᏃ ᎠᏓᏅᎦᎸᏗᏱ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ.
26 and they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you testified, behold, this One is immersing, and all are coming to Him.”
ᏣᏂᏃ ᎤᏂᎵᏤᎸᎩ, ᎯᎠ ᏄᏂᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᏔᏕᏲᎲᏍᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏥᏍᏕᏙᎲᎩ ᏦᏓᏂ ᏍᎪᏂᏗᏢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏃᎮᏍᎬᎩ, ᎬᏂᏳᏉ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏓᏓᏬᎠ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᏛᏉ ᎬᏩᎷᏤᎭ.
27 John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given him from Heaven;

28 you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been sent before Him;

29 He who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing Him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy has been fulfilled.

30 It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎠᏎ ᏛᏛᏃᏏ, ᎠᏴᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᏎ ᏓᏥᏲᎶᏥ.
31 He who is coming from above is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaks; He who is coming from Heaven is above all.

32 And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;

33 he who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;

34 for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure;

35 the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand;

36 he who is believing in the Son has continuous life; and he who is not believing the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (aiōnios g166)
