John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
Kuweriti na mkulu gwa Shiyawudi yawamshema Nikodemu, kaweriti gwa shipinga sha Mafalisayu.
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.
Lishaka limu kamgendera Yesu pashiru na kamgambira, “Mfunda, tuvimana handa gwenga gwa mfunda yagutumitwi na Mlungu. Kwahera muntu yakaweziti kutenda mauzauza gagutenda mpaka Mlungu kapamuhera na yomberi.”
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.
Yesu kamwankula, “Nakugambira nakaka, Kwahera muntu yakaweza kuwona Ufalumi wa Mlungu, pakayiwuka kayi ndiri.”
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?
Nikodemu kamkosiya, “Muntu mkulu kaweza hashi kwiwuka kayi? Hashi, kaweza kwingira mumtima mwa mawu gwakuwi na kwiwuka mala ya pili?”
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.
Yesu kamwankula, “Nakaka nukugambira, muntu yoseri pakiwuka ndiri kwa mashi na Rohu Mnanagala, hapeni kingiri Muufalumi wa Mlungu.
6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
Muntu kiwuka shinshimba kwa tati na mawu, kumbiti yakiwuka shirohu kwa Rohu Mnanagala.
7 Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again.
Nagulikangasha toziya nukugambira mpaka gwiwuki kayi.
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.
Liyega ligendaga palifira kugenda, gulipikanira kuvuma kwakuwi, kumbiti guvimana ndiri kwalilawiti ama kwaligenda. Ntambu iraayi, iwera hangu kwa muntu yakiwuka kwa Rohu.”
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
Nikodemu kamkosiya, “Hashi, shitwatila ashi, shiwezikani?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?
Yesu kamwankula, “Hashi, gwenga guwera mfunda gwa Israeli na guvimana ndiri vitwatira avi?
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.
Nukugambira nakaka, tutakula galii tugamaniti na tuwera wakapitawu wa galii tugawoniti, su mwenga mjimira ndiri ujumbi wetu.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?
Mjimira ndiri paniwagambireni vitwatira vya isi ayi, hashi hamjimiri panuwagambireni vitwatira vya kumpindi?
13 And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man.
Kwahera muntu yakapatiti kugenda kumpindi kwa Mlungu, ira Mwana gwa Muntu ndo mweni yakalawiti kumpindi kwa Mlungu.”
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up
Gambira Musa ntambu yakamtuliti njoka gwa shaba palusiki kushiwala kulii, ntambu iraayi Mwana gwa Muntu hakanyasulwi kumpindi,
su kila yakamjimira kawera na ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (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)
Mana Mlungu kawafiriti nentu wantu wa pasipanu, su kamlaviyiti Mwana gwakuwi gwa gweka, su kila yakamjimira hapeni kahowi, kumbiti kaweri na ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (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.
Mlungu kamjegiti ndiri Mwana gwakuwi pasipanu kupatoza, kumbiti kapalopoziyi.
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.
Woseri yawamjimira Mwana hapeni katozwi, kumbiti woseri yawamjimira ndiri watozwa kala, toziya wamjimira ndiri Mwana gwa gweka gwa Mlungu.
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.
Na toza yeni ndo ayi, gulangala gwiza pasipanu, kumbiti wantu wafiriti ntiti kuliku gulangala, toziya vitendu vyawu vidoda.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Woseri walii yawatenda vidoda wagukalalira gulangala, hapeni wizi muulangala, toziya wafira ndiri vitendu vyawu vimaniki.
21 But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Kumbiti woseri yawatenda unakaka wiza mu mulangala, su gulangala guvilangaliri vitendu vyawu vyawavitenda vyakumjimilira Mlungu.
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea; and there he remained with them, and baptized.
Shakapanu, Yesu pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi wagenditi kumkowa gwa Yudeya, kalikaliti kuliya pamuhera nawomberi kwa shipindi pakabatiza wantu.
23 And John also was baptizing in AEnon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized.
Viraa Yohani kaweriti kankubatiza wantu kulii Ainoni, pakwegera na Salemu, toziya kulii kuweriti na mashi gamema. Wantu wamgendiriti, nayomberi kaweriti kankuwabatiza.
24 For John was not yet thrown into prison.
Shipindi ashi Yohani wenimtuli mushibetubetu.
25 Then there arose a question on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purifying.
Likakatala lilawiriti pakati pa wafundwa wa Yohani na Myawudi yumu kuusu shitiba sha kunawa ntambu yayifiriwitwi.
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.
Su wamgenderiti Yohani na kumgambira, “mfunda, gumuhola muntu uliya yakaweriti pamuhera nagwenga kusika kumwambu kwa Yoridani, ulii gwenga yagumtakuliti? Vinu yomberi kankubatiza na kila muntu kamgendera!”
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it be given him from heaven.
Yohani kawankula, “Kwahera muntu yakawera na shintu shoseri, mpaka kapananwi kulawa kumpindi.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before that man.
Maweni mwenga muweza kutakula galii gantakuliti, ‘Neni na Kristu ndiri, kumbiti wantumiti su numulongoleri.’”
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.
Mpalu gwa ndowa ndo mweni gwa mdala gwa ndowa, su wagolokera ndowa yawagolokiti na kupikinira, wanemelera nentu pawapikanira liziwu lya mpalu gwa ndowa. Hangu ndo ntambu ya nemeleriti nentu.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Mweni ndo kendereyi kamanikana ira neni nendereyi kumanikana ndiri.
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
Yakiza kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu ndo mkulu kuliku woseri. Yakalawila pasipanu ndo gwa pasipanu na katakulaga vitwatira vya pasi panu, kumbiti yakiza kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu ndo mkulu kuliku woseri.
32 testifieth what he hath seen and heard; and no one receiveth his testimony.
Yomberi kapitawulira galii kagawoniti na kugapikanira, kumbiti kwahera muntu yakaujimilira ujumbi wakuwi.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set his seal that God is true.
Su muntu yoseri yakajimira ukapitawu wakuwi, katakula weri handa Mlungu ndo gwa nakaka.
34 For he whom God sent speaketh the words of God; for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
Uliya yakatumitwi na Mlungu kutakula visoweru vya Mlungu, toziya Mlungu kumpanana muntu ayu Rohu Mnanagala pota na shipimu.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
Tati kamfira Mwana gwakuwi na kavitula vintu vyoseri mumawoku mwakuwi.
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)
Yakamwamini Mwana kana ukomu wa mashaka goseri, yakamjimira ndiri Mwana hakaweri ndiri na ukomu, su maya ga Mlungu hagaweri kwakuwi. (aiōnios g166)
