John 3
1 Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a leading man among his people.
Hagi Farisi vahepinti mago nera agi'a Nikodimasi, Jiu vahe'mokizmi mono kanisol ne' mani'ne.
2 This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him, ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one could give such signs as you are giving, unless God were with him.’
E'i ana ne'mo'a kenage hanimpi Jisasinte eno amanage huno antahige'ne. Rempi hurami ne'moka antahi'none, Kagrama hurami ne' Anumzamofontegati e'nane. Mago'mo'a Kagrama nehanaza huno amanahu avame zana osugahie, Anumzamo agrane mani'nesimo hugahie.
3 ‘In truth I tell you,’ exclaimed Jesus, ‘unless a person is reborn, they cannot see the kingdom of God.’
Higeno Jisasi'a kenona'a amanage huno asami'ne, Tamagerafa hu'na ama kea negasamue. Runema kasefa osnimo'a, Anumzamofo kumapina uofregahie,
4 ‘How can a person,’ asked Nicodemus, ‘be born when they are old? Can they be born a second time?’
Nikodimasi'a kenona'a huno, inankna huno ra vahe'mo'a ete osi mofavregna huno fore hugahie? Ete ra vahe'mo'a anta'amofo arimpafina ufrenkeno eteno kasentegahifi?
5 ‘In truth I tell you,’ answered Jesus, ‘unless a person owes their birth to water and Spirit, they cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Higeno Jisasi'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Tamagerafa hu'na kagrira negasamue. Aza'o tinteti'ene Avamuteti'ene kasefa osnimo'a, Anumzamofo kumapina uofregahie,
6 All that owes its birth to human nature is human, and all that owes its birth to the Spirit is spiritual.
Mopafi vahe'mo'ma kasente'nesiana vahere. Hanki Ruotge Avamu'mo'ma eri fore hu'nesia zana avamure.
7 Do not wonder at my telling you that you all need to be reborn.
Amama kasamisua zankura Nagriku hie hunka kmanogura osunka, kagra etenka kasefa mofavre hampro,
8 The wind blows wherever it wants, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from, or where it goes; it is the same with everyone who owes his birth to the Spirit.’
Zahomo'a inantega vunaku hirega nevigenka agasasa'a nentahine. Hagi inantegati eteno, inantega nevio antahinka kenka nosane. E'ina hu'za mika vahe'mo'za Avamupina kasefara nehaze.
9 ‘How can that be?’ asked Nicodemus.
Higeno Nikodimasi'a ana zanku, amanahu zamo'a inankna hugahie? huno higeno,
10 ‘What! You a teacher of Israel,’ exclaimed Jesus, ‘and yet do not understand this!
Jisasi'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage huno hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mokizmi rempi huzami ne' mani'nenka, ama nanekea antahi amara nosano?
11 In truth I tell you that we speak of what we know, and state what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our statements.
Tamagerfa hu'na negasamue. Kema nehunana, antahita keta hu'nona zanku huama nehunketa, ana nanekegura tamagra antahinoramize.
12 If, when I tell you earthly things, you do not believe me, how will you believe me when I tell you of heavenly things?
Mopafi zanku'ma neramasamisunketa tamagrama tamentintima osanuta inankna huta monafi zanku'ma tamasami'sunana tamentintia hugahaze?
13 No one has ascended to heaven, except him who descended from heaven – the Son of Man himself.
Mago'mo'a monafinka mrerino ovu'ne. Hagi Agra monafinkati'ma erami'neana, Vahe'mofo Mofavremo erami'ne.
14 And, as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up;
Mosesema hagage kokampi osifa'vema erintesga hu'nea kna hu'za, Vahe'mofo Mofavrea azeri antesga hugahaze.
Hanigeno aza'o, Agripi amentinti hanimo'a, manivava asimu erigahie. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Anumzamo tusiza huno mopafi vaheku avesi nezmanteno, magoke ante'nea Ne'mofavre'a zami'ne. Agrite zamentinti hanamo'za fanane osu'za manivava zamasimu erigahaze. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through him.
Na'ankure Anumzamo Mofavre'a huntegeno ama mopafima e'neana, mopafi vahe refko hinogu huntegeno ome'ne. Hagi Agripinkati vahe'mo'za zamagu'vazizana erisaze huno huntegeno erami'ne.
18 The person who believes in him escapes condemnation, while the person who does not believe in him is already condemned, because they have not believed in the only Son of God.
Aza'o Agrite'ma amentintima himofona refko huno nanekea hunonte, iza'o Agrite'ma amentintima nosimofona, trate ko avrenteno keaga hunte'ne. Na'ankure Anumzamofona magoke Mofavre'amofo agirera, agra amentinti osigu ana nehie.
19 The ground of their condemnation is this, that though the light has come into the world, people preferred the darkness to the light, because their actions were wicked.
Nanekema huzmante'siana, ama kemofo agafare huzmantegahie. Masamo'a ama mopafima efregeno'a, vahe'mo'za hani avu'ava'zanku avesinente'za masamofona avesi onte'naze. Na'ankure havi zamu'zamake'za hu'naze.
20 For the person who lives an evil life hates the light, and will not come to it, fearing that their actions will be exposed;
Aza'o havizama nehia vahe'mo'a, tavi'mofona zamesra hunente'za, masarera nomaze. Na'ankure haviza nehazazamo eama huzanku nomaze.
21 but the person who lives by the truth comes into the light, so it can be clearly seen that God is in all they do.
Hu'neanagi aza'o tamage avu'ava'ma nehimo'a tavitera egahie. Na'ankure hakaremo'za nege'za Anumzamofo avenesiaza nehie hu'za hugahaze.
22 After this, Jesus went with his disciples into the country parts of Judea; and there he stayed with them, and baptised.
Hagi ananteti Jisasi'a amagenentaza disaipol naga'ane, Judia kaziga vu'za mago'a kna umani'ne'za mono tina fre zamante'naze.
23 John, also, was baptising at Aenon near Salim, because there were many streams there; and people were constantly coming and being baptised.
E'i ana knafi Joni'a, Salim kumamofo tava'onte Ainoni kumate mono tina frezmante'ne. Na'ankure anantega rama'a tina me'nege'za vahe'mo'za ete'vute hu'za mono tina fre'naze.
24 (For John had not yet been imprisoned).
Na'ankure Jonina kina huonte'naza knafine.
25 Now a discussion arose between some of John’s disciples and a fellow Jew on the subject of purification;
Ana nehazage'za Jonima amage nentaza disaipol naga'ane, mago Jiu ne'ene, Juda vahe'mokizmi avu'avapi ti fre'za avu sese nehaza zanku keaga hu'naze.
26 and the disciples came to John and said, ‘Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, and to whom you have yourself borne testimony – he, also, is baptising, and everybody is going to him.’
Nehu'za Joninte e'za amanage hu'za asmi'naze. Hurami (Rabbai) ne'moke, Jodani timofo kantu kaziga kagrane mani'neama, Agri agi hu'ama hu'nana ne'mo'a, mono ti frenezmantege'za mika vahe'mo'za Agrite nevaze.
27 John’s answer was – ‘A person can gain nothing but what is given them from heaven.
Hazageno Joni'a anage hu'ne, mago vahe'mo'a, Mago zana e'origahie, ana hugahianagi monafinkati mago'zama amisigeno'a amne erigahie.
28 You are yourselves witnesses that I said “I am not the Christ,” but “I have been sent before him as a messenger.”
Tamagratmi antahi'nage'na amanahu kea hu'noe, Nagra Kraisi'na omani'noe hu'na hu'noe. Hianagi Agrira azeri henka atreno, nagrira pusante hunantege'na e'noe.
29 It is the groom who has the bride; but the groom’s friend, who stands by and listens to him, is filled with joy when he hears the groom’s voice. This joy I have felt to the full.
Mago vemo'ma a'ma erinaku nehigeno rone'amo oti'neno antahi nemino, aravema huku hia vahe'mofo ageru nentahino muse nehie. E'ina higu nagrira muse zamo'a avite'ne.
30 He must become greater, and I less.’
Agri agimo marerisigeno nagri nagimo uramisie.
31 He who comes from above is above all others; but a child of earth is earthly, and his teaching is earthly, too. He who comes from heaven is above all others.
Agra anagamiti e'nemo'a maka'zana agatere'ne, aza'o ama mopafinti'ma e'nesimo'a, ama mopafi vahekino, ama mopafi zankuke kea hugahie. Agra aza'o monafinkati'ma e'nemo'a, Agra maka'zamofona zamagtere'ne.
32 He states what he has seen and what he heard, and yet no one accepts his statement.
Agrama antahino keno hu'nea zante Agra naneke'a huama nehie, hianagi mago'mo'e huno agi agenke'a antahi anira osu'ne.
33 They who did accept his statement confirm the fact that God is true.
Iza'o, Agri agi agenke'a erimo'a, tamage huno Anumzamofo nanekegura nehie.
34 For he whom God sent as his messenger gives us God’s own teaching, for God does not limit the gift of the Spirit.
Na'ankure Agrira Anumzamo huntege'no e'neankino, Anumzamofo keaga nehie. Na'ankure Agra refko osuga'are Avamura aviteno ami'ne.
35 The Father loves his Son, and has put everything in his hands.
Nefa'a, Nemofona avesinteno mika'zana kva hugahie huno, Agri azampi ante'ne.
36 The person who believes in the Son has eternal life, while a person who rejects the Son will not even see that life, but remains under God’s displeasure. (aiōnios g166)
Aza'o Nemofonte amentintima hanimo'a manivava asimura erigahie. Hagi iza'o Nemofo kema rutagresimo'a manivava asimura e'origahie. Hanki Anumzamofo tusi'a rimpahe knazamo agrite megahie. (aiōnios g166)
