John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
Judah tami, kahrawikung lah kaawm e Nikodemus tie Farasi tami buet touh ao.
2 This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no one can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.
Ahni ni tangmin vah Jisuh koe a tho teh, Bawipa nang ni na sak e mitnoutnaw Cathut ni na awmkhai hoehpawiteh sak thai lah awm mahoeh tie ka hmu awh dawkvah, Bawipa nang teh Cathut ni na patoun e doeh tie ka panue, atipouh.
3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly do I say to thee, Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jisuh ni atangcalah ka dei, apihai apâhni khekatha hoehpawiteh, Cathut uknaeram hmawt thai mahoeh atipouh.
4 Nicodemus saith to him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb a second time, and be born?
Nikodemus ni hai matawng ni bangtelamaw apâhni lah maw a manu vonthung bout a kâen vaiteh, bout a khe han vaw atipouh.
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly do I say to thee, Unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jisuh ni atangcalah ka dei, tui hoi Muitha ni a khe hoe e tami ni Cathut uknaeram dawk kâen thai mahoeh atipouh.
6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
Takthai ni a khe e teh takthai doeh, Muitha ni a khe e teh muitha doeh.
7 Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again.
Khe katha lah o han ka ti dawk na kâ ngai ru sak hanh.
8 The wind bloweth where it will; and thou hearest the sound thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Kahlî teh ama ngai e patetlah doeh a tho, kahlî tho lawk na thai ei, nâ lahoi maw a tho teh nâ lah maw a cei tie panuek thai hoeh. Hottelah doeh Muitha ni a khe e teh ao atipouh.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
Nikodemus nihai, hete hno heh bangtelah hoi maw a coung thai han atipouh.
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?
Jisuh ni bout atipouh e teh, nang heh Isarelnaw kacangkhaikung lah na o ei het patet boehai na panuek hoeh atipouh.
11 Truly, truly do I say to thee, We speak that which we know, and testify that which we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony.
Atangcalah na dei pouh, kaimouh ni ka panue e ka dei awh, ka hmu awh e doeh ka kampangkhai awh. Hatei kaimouh ni kampangkhai e teh na tang awh hoeh.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?
Talailae hno ka dei navah na tang awh hoehpawiteh kalvanlae hno natawng teh bangtelamaw na tang awh han.
13 And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man.
Kalvan hoi ka kum ni teh kalvan kho kaawm e tami Capa hloilah apihai kalvan ka luen e awm hoeh.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up
Mosi ni kahrawngum vah tahrun a pathout e patetlah tami Capa hai a pathout awh han.
A Capa ka yuem e naw pueng teh rawk laipalah yungyoe hringnae a tawn nahane doeh. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave the only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him may not perish, but may have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
Cathut ni a Capa tawntoe e pasoung ditouh talaivan a lungpataw. Capa ka yuem e tami pueng teh rawk laipalah a yungyoe hringnae a tawn awh nahane doeh. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not the Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through him the world might be saved.
Bangkongtetpawiteh Cathut ni talaivan taminaw lawkceng hanelah Capa heh patoun hoeh, talai taminaw rungngang hanlah doeh a patoun.
18 He that believeth in him is not condemned; he that believeth not hath already been condemned, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Apihai Capa ka yuem pueng ni lawkcengnae khang mahoeh. Kayuemhoehnaw teh Cathut Capa tawntoe e min a yuem awh hoe dawkvah atu hai lawkceng lah ao toe.
19 And this is the condemnation, that the light hath come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil.
Lawkceng lah a onae teh, angnae teh talaivan a pha ei, taminaw ni kahawihoehe hno hoe a sak awh dawkvah, angnae hlak hmonae hah hoe a ngai awh.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Kathout hno ka sak e naw ni angnae hah a maithoe awh teh, thoe a saknae a kamnue hoeh nahanelah angnae koe tho hane ngai awh hoeh.
21 But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Lawkkatang ka tarawi e tami teh, amae a tarawinae hah Cathut e ngainae hoi a kânging tie a kamnue thai nahanlah angnae koe a tho telah a dei.
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea; and there he remained with them, and baptized.
Hahoi, Jisuh hoi a hnukkâbangnaw teh Judah ram lah a cei awh, hawvah a hnukkâbangnaw hoi baptisma a poe awh.
23 And John also was baptizing in AEnon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized.
Jawhan hai Salim kho teng Aenon vah tui apap dawkvah, baptisma a poenae koe taminaw ni a tho teh baptisma a coe awh.
24 For John was not yet thrown into prison.
Hatnavah Jawhan thongim thung phat hoe rah.
25 Then there arose a question on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purifying.
Jawhan e a hnukkâbangnaw teh tui hoi kamthoungnae kong dawk Judahnaw hoi a kâoun awh.
26 And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, he baptizeth, and all men are going to him.
Hatdawkvah Jawhan koe a tho awh teh, Bawipa Jordan tui namran vah nang hoi rei kaawm ni teh akong na kampangkhai e tami ni tui dawk baptisma a poe teh taminaw pueng ahni koe a tho awh atipouh awh.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it be given him from heaven.
Jawhan ni Kalvan lahoi poe hoehpawiteh, tami ni banghai tet thai mahoeh.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before that man.
Kai teh Khrih nahoeh, ahnie hmalah patoun lah kaawm e doeh tie hah nangmouh teh kapanuekkhaikung lah na o awh.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. This my joy then hath become full.
Vâ ka sak e tangla teh yupaluenkung thoundoun e lah doeh ao toe. Yupaluenkung thoundoun e lawk ka thai e a hui ni yupaluenkung e a lawk a thai nah puenghoi a konawm. Hot patetvanlah kaie lunghawinae hai a kuep.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Ahni teh roung vai, kai teh ka kumcathuk han.
31 He that cometh from above is above all. He that is from the earth is earthly, and speaketh earthly things; he that cometh from heaven
Lathueng lahoi ka tho e teh bangpueng e lathueng lah ao. Talai lahoi ka tho e teh talai hoi a kâkuet dawkvah, talai kong a dei. Kalvan hoi ka tho e teh bangpueng e lathueng lah ao.
32 testifieth what he hath seen and heard; and no one receiveth his testimony.
Ahni ni a hmu hoi a thai e hah kampangkhai ei, apinihai ahnie kampangkhainae teh tang awh hoeh.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set his seal that God is true.
Apihai ahnie kampangkhainae ka dâw e teh Cathut katang doeh tie hoe a panue cai.
34 For he whom God sent speaketh the words of God; for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
Cathut ni patoun e ni teh Cathut e lawk doeh a dei. Bangkongtetpawiteh ahni koe Cathut ni Muitha pout laipalah a poe.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
Apa ni Capa lungpataw dawkvah, hnocawngca pueng teh Capa kut dawk a poe toe.
36 He that believeth in the Son hath everlasting life; and he that disobeyeth the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
Capa ka yuem e teh yungyoe hringnae a tawn. Hatei, Capa ka ek e teh hringnae a hmu hoeh e dueng laipalah, Cathut lungkhueknae ahni dawk vah ao telah Jawhan ni a ti. (aiōnios g166)
