John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
Oasr sie mwet kol lun mwet Jew pangpang Nicodemus, su ma in u lun mwet Pharisee.
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.
Sie fong ah el som nu yurin Jesus ac fahk nu sel, “Rabbi, kut etu lah kom sie mwet luti supweyukme sin God. Wangin sie mwet ku in oru mwenmen ma kom oru God El fin tia welul.”
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.
Jesus el fahk, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu sum: sie mwet el fin tia sifil isusla, el koflana liye Tokosrai lun God.”
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?
Na Nicodemus el siyuk sel, “Sie mwet matu ac sifilpa osweyukla fuka? Mea, el ku in sifil ilyak nu insien nina kial ac isusla pacl se akluo?”
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.
Jesus el topuk, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu sum: sie mwet el fin tia isusla ke kof ac Ngun, el koflana ilyak nu in Tokosrai lun God.
6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
Mwet su isusla ke ikwa, ma lun ikwa; a mwet su isusla ke Ngun, ma lun ngun.
7 Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again.
Nik kom lut mweyen nga fahk lah kowos nukewa enenu in sifilpa isusla.
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.
Eng uh tuh nu yen el lungse. Kom lohng kusa, a kom tia etu yen el tuku we me, ku yen el ac som nu we. Ac oapana inge elos nukewa su isusla ke Ngun.”
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
Nicodemus el siyuk, “Mea, ku in ouingan?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?
Jesus el topuk, “Kom sie mwet luti fulat in Israel, ya pwaye kom tia etu ma se inge?
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.
Nga fahk na pwaye nu sum: kut kaskas ke ma kut etu, ac fahkak ma kut liye uh. Ne ouinge, wangin sie suwos lulalfongi ma kut fahk uh.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?
Kowos tia lulalfongiyu ke nga fahk nu suwos ke ma lun faclu, na kowos ac lulalfongiyu fuka nga fin kaskas ke ma nu inkusrao?
13 And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man.
Soenna oasr sie mwet na sowak nu inkusrao sayen Wen nutin Mwet, su oatui inkusrao me.”
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up
Oana ke Moses el tuh srupusrak serpent bronze soko fin sak soko in acn mwesis ah, in ouiya sacna Wen nutin Mwet el fah sripsripyak,
tuh elos nukewa su lulalfongi in el elos fah ku in ilyak nu ke sie moul sasu wangin saflaiya. (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)
Tuh God El lungse faclu ouinge: El ase Wen sefanna natul, tuh elos nukewa su lulalfongi in el fah tia misa, a elos fah eis moul ma pahtpat. (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.
Tuh God El tia supwama Wen natul in tuh nununku faclu, a tuh faclu in eis moul kacl.
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.
Kutena mwet su lulalfongi in Wen el tia nununkeyuk; tusruktu kutena mwet su tia lulalfongi, el nununkeyuk tari, mweyen el tia lulalfongi in Wen sefanna nutin God.
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.
Pa inge luman nununku sac: kalem tuku tari nu faclu, a mwet uh elos lungse lohsr yohk liki kalem sac, mweyen orekma lalos uh koluk.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Kutena mwet su oru ma koluk el srunga kalem, ac el fah tia tuku nu ke kalem, mweyen el tia lungse orekma koluk lal in liyeyuk.
21 But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
A kutena mwet su oru ma pwaye el tuku nu ke kalem, tuh in kalem lah ma el oru el oru in akos God.
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea; and there he remained with them, and baptized.
Tukun ma inge, Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos som nu in acn Judea, ac el muta yorolos we ke kutu pacl, ac el baptaisi mwet.
23 And John also was baptizing in AEnon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized.
John el oayapa oru baptais lal in acn Aenon apkuran nu Salim, mweyen yohk kof in acn sac. Mwet uh fahsrel ac el baptaiselos.
24 For John was not yet thrown into prison.
(Ma inge ma meet liki John el kapiri in presin.)
25 Then there arose a question on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purifying.
Kutu sin mwet lutlut lal John mutawauk in akukuin yurin sie mwet Jew ke ouiyen aknasnas ke alu lun mwet Jew.
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.
Ke ma inge elos som nu yorol John ac fahk nu sel, “Mwet Luti, kom esam mwet se ma tuh wi kom layen kutulap ke infacl Jordan, mwet se ma kom tuh fahkak kac ah? Inge el wi pac orek baptais, ac mwet uh rirla nu yorol!”
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it be given him from heaven.
John el topuk, “Wangin ma ku in sikyak nu sin sie mwet, fin tia ma sin God me.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before that man.
Kowos sifacna mwet loh luk ke nga tuh fahk, ‘Tia nga pa Christ, a supweyukme nga meet lukel.’
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.
In pacl in marut, mukul se ma marut uh ac ma kial pa mutan sac. Tusruktu mwet kawuk se lun mukul sac el engankin lah el tu siskal ac lohng pusren mukul marut sac. Ouinge engan luk uh oapana engan lun mukul se ma kawuk lun mukul marut sacn.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Ac fah puseni mwet fahsr tukun Jesus, ac mwet luk uh ac fah pueni.”
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
El su tuku lucng me el fulat liki nukewa. El su ma faclu me el ma lun faclu ac el kaskas ke ma lun faclu, a el su tuku inkusrao me el fulat liki nukewa.
32 testifieth what he hath seen and heard; and no one receiveth his testimony.
El fahkak ke ma el liye ac lohng tari, a wangin mwet lulalfongi ma el fahk uh.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set his seal that God is true.
Kutena mwet su lulalfongi ma el fahk, el akkalemye lah el lulalfongi lah ma God El fahk uh ma pwaye.
34 For he whom God sent speaketh the words of God; for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
El su God El supwama el fahk kas lun God, mweyen God El sang nufon Ngun lal nu sel.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
Papa El lungse Wen natul, ac El sang elan ku fin ma nukewa.
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)
Kutena mwet su lulalfongi ke Wen oasr moul ma pahtpat lal. Kutena mwet su seakos Wen fah wangin moul lal, a el ac fah mutana ye kaiyuk lun God. (aiōnios g166)
