John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
Kwavi na chilongosi mmonga Myawudi wa chikundi cha Vafalisayu, liina laki Nikodemu.
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.”
Ligono limonga kimihi Nikodemu amhambalili Yesu akamjovela, “Muwula, tikumanyii ngati veve muwula mweutumwili kuhuma kwa Chapanga, muni kawaka mundu mweihotola kukita ulangisu weukita changali kuvya na Chapanga.”
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”;
Yesu akamjovela, “Chakaka nikujovela, mundu ngati avelekiwi lepi kavili ihotola lepi kulola Unkosi wa Chapanga.”
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?”
Nikodemu akamkota, “Wu, mundu mvaha yihotoleka kuvelekewa kavili? Yihotoleka lepi kuyingila mulileme la nyina waki na kuvelekewa kavili.”
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;
Yesu akamyangula, “Chakaka nikukujovela,” Mundu ngati avelekiwi lepi kwa manji na kwa Mpungu Msopi katu nakuhotola kuyingila mu Unkosi wa Chapanga.
6 that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
Mundu ivelekewa chihiga kwa dadi na mau, nambu ivelekewa chimpungu kwa Mpungu Msopi.
7 You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
Ukotoka kukangacha kuvya nijovili yikumgana mundu kuvelekewa kavili.
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.”
Chimbungululu chibuma, kuhamba kwechigana wiyuwana chibuma, nambu wimanya lepi kwe chihuma amala kwe chihamba. Mewawa kwa kila mundu mweavelekiwi kwa Mpungu Msopi.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
Nikodemu akamkota, “Mambu genaga gihotoleka wuli?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?
Yesu akamyangula, “Veve muwula wa vandu va Isilaeli nakugamanya mambu aga?
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;
Chakaka nikujovela, tete tijova getikugamanya na tikuvajovela vandu vindu vyetiviwene, nambu nyenye nakuyidakila ujumbi witu.
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?
Nivajovili mambu ga pamulima nakusadika, hinu mwihotola wuli kusadika nikavajovela mambu ga kunani kwa Chapanga?
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.
Kawaka mundu mwahambili kunani kwa Chapanga, nambu Mwana wa Mundu ndi mweahelili kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga.”
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up,
Ngati Musa cheanyakwili Liyoka la Shaba panani ya ndonga kulugangatu kula, mewa na Mwana wa Mundu yati inyakuliwa kunani,
15 that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life, (aiōnios g166)
muni kila mundu mweakumsadika yati ivya na wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (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)
Muni Chapanga avaganili neju vandu va mulima hati amuwusili Mwana waki ngamwene yuyo, muni yoyoha mwaisadika akotoka kuyaga ndi avyayi na wumi wa magono goha. (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;
Chapanga amtumili lepi Mwana waki pamulima ndava ya kuvahamula vandu, nambu kuvasangula.
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.
Mweakumsadika Mwana ihamuliwa lepi, nambu mwangamsadika amali kuhamuliwa, ndava amsadiki lepi, nga Mwana yuyo wa Chapanga.
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;
Na uhamula wene ndi uwu, lumuli lubwelili pamulima nambu vandu vaganili chitita kuliku lumuli, muni matendu gavi gahakau.
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;
Mundu yoyoha mweikita gahakau angalugana lumuli, mewa ibwela lepi kulumuli, muni igana lepi matendu gaki gahakau galangalayi.
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.”
Nambu mundu yeyoha mweilanda gachakaka ibwela kulumuli muni matendu gaki galolekanayi, gahengiki kwa kumyidakila Chapanga.
22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
Pegamaliki genago, Yesu na vawuliwa vaki vakahamba kumulima wa Yudea, akatama navu kwenuko na kubatiza vandu.
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—
Mewawa Yohani avi mukubatiza vandu ku Ainoni, papipi na ku Salemu, muni kwenuko kwavi na manji gamahele vandu vamhambalili, mwene akavabatiza.
24 for John was not yet cast into the prison—
Genaga gahumalili lukumbi Yohani peavi angasopewa muchifungu.
25 there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
Ukahumila muhutanu pagati ya vawuliwa va Yohani na myawudi mmonga ndava ya mvelu wa kunyambiswa ndava ya kumuyupa Chapanga.
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.”
Hinu, vawuliwa avo vakamhambila Yohani na kumjovela “Muwula mundu yula mwewavili nayu kumwambu ya Yoludani, yula veve mwewatijovili malovi gaki, hinu namwene ibatiza na vandu voha vakumlanda!”
27 John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given him from Heaven;
Yohani akavayangula, “Mundu ihotola lepi kuvya na chindu ngati angapewa na Chapanga.
28 you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been sent before Him;
Nyenye mwavene mumanyili kuvya najovili, ‘Nene lepi Kilisitu Msangula, nambu natumiwi nimlongolela.’
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.
Mdala wa ndowa ndi waki mkolo ndowa, nambu nkozi wa mkolo ndowa mweiyima kumyuwanila iheka neju kuyuwana mkolo ndowa ijova. Mewa nene nisangalwiki neju.
30 It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
Yesu yikumgana avyayi mkulu na nene nivyayi namdebe.”
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.
Mweibwela kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga ndi mkulu kuliku voha, mweihuma pamulima ndi wa pamulima, na ilongela mambu ga pamulima. Nambu mweibwela kuhuma kunani ndi ilongosa vindu vyoha.
32 And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;
Mwene ijova gala geagawene na kuyuwana, nambu kawaka mundu mweiyidakila ujumbi waki.
33 he who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;
Nambu mundu yoyoha mweiyidakila ujumbi waki ndi ijova Chapanga ndi mchakaka.
34 for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure;
Ndava yula mweatumwili na Chapanga ijova malovi ga Chapanga, ndava Chapanga ammemisi mundu mwenuyo Mpungu Msopi.
35 the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand;
Dadi amganili Mwana na amgotolili vindu vyoha.
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)
Mweakumsadika Mwana avi na wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu, nambu angamsadika Mwana avi lepi na wumi, nambu ligoga la Chapanga likumtamila. (aiōnios g166)
