John 3
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
igu ri ahi bafarise ba yomi niko dimu a hi tuzan ni mi yahudawa
2 The same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him.
igua lu wa yesu ye ni chu na yo Rabbi ki tohwu u malami wawu tsi ni rji ki toh idiori na toh tie kpe wa wu si tie yinna se orji he niwu
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
yesu sa niwu njanji njanji indi wa ba na la ngriji a na ana toh iko irjina
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
nikodemu a miyen bati ni heri na la ngrji indi iwa a ce ye? ana ya kban hi ri ni minen yima ba ka la ngrjina ani iya?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
yesu tre anjaji anjaji indi wa bana la ngrji ni ma mba ruhu na ana ya hiri nitra rjina
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
ikpe wa ba ngrji ni konkbon kpa ahi kobonkpa iwa ba ngrji ni kon ruhu ahi u ruhu
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.
na tie sisir na ni tu wa me hla ni wu a hi gbigbi ndu ba la ngri wu
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
ngyugyu ni fuw hi ni werji a wa a ni son a u ya wo chu ma iwu na toh ka a rjini tsen ka ni hi ni tsen na anaki indi waba ngrji u ni ruhu a
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
nikodi mu miyen batie ki ma ni he naki?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?
yesu u miyen i wu u malami ni israila u na toh iri kpe yi na?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and bear witness of that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
njaji njaji mi si hla ni wu kisi tre kpr wa ki toh ni shaida ni yiwu na ki me bina kpa shaida buna
12 If I told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you heavenly things?
mi tie hla niwu ikpe wa ahe ni gbungbolo yi i wuna kpayemen na u tie ni heni kpayemen ni tre wa mi hla niwu u shulu
13 And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, which is in heaven.
idiori na hon hi ni shu toh na se wawu wa a grji rji ni shu yea sei vren indi
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
na wa musa a zu wan hi ni shu ni miji na ki me gbigbi ba zu ivren ndi hi shu
nitu biwa ba no suron ba na kpayememe ni wu ba kana tie memenana son tuntur (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
niwa irji a lo suron ni gbungbulua kpukpome na ban ivren ma riri no wa a ka suron ma no wa ka que na kason ni viri hi ni tuntur (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.
irji bachi ana ton verri ye ni ndu ye ka gbungbulu a suto na amma ni ndu kpa ba chuwo
18 He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
indi wa ayo suron ma niwu kana tie meme na u indi wa ana yo suron ma niwuna atie meme ye ni tu wa ana yo suron ma ni mi nde ivren ciriti na
19 And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
a ni tu kima ibla tre he ni tu wa ikpan ye ni gbungbulua u ndi ba son bwu zankpan ni tu meme tie mba
20 For every one that doeth ill hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.
wawuu indi wa ani tie meme kpe a ni kama ni kpan nda na ni hi ni kpan na don ndu bana toh meme tie mana
21 But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.
sei indi wa ani tie njanji ani ye ni kpan nitu tie ma wa ba toh ni rira me a ndi da ni tie niwu rji
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
ni kogon kima yesu ni almajeran ma ba lu hi yanki igbu judea ni ki ason hi ni ton ri niba natie batisma
23 And John also was baptizing in AEnon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
yahaya me ni tie batisma ni aino whiwhire ni salim nitu ima he ni ki babran indi baye niwu wani ti batisma
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
ba na rigen yo yahaya ni mi tra u tro na
25 There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying.
u kbonronkpa lude ni mi almajeran yahaya ni indi u yahuda nitu al adun tsarka kewa
26 And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
ba luhi ni yahaya na tre Rabbi indi wa a he niwu ni gran ne urdun wa u shaidu wu toh asi tie batisma indi wawu ba si hi niwu
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.
yahaya sa ni bawu idiori na ya fe kperina sei ba no rji ni shulu
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.
biyi ni tubi bi to mi hla ni a na imeyin me Almasihuna ba ton me ye guci niwu
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
iwa sah ahi u lon ma ikpan glon zizan ikpana kri siwowu a si ngir ni wa asi wo lan likona ingir mu a shu mala
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
a hi gbibbi ni ndu shu babran u me grji ye meme
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaketh: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
wawu iwa a rji ni shu a zan indi wawu
32 What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness.
a shaida ikpu iwa awo na toh idiori me tie bre kpa shaida ma
33 He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to [this], that God is true.
indi iwa akpa shaida ma a kpayemmen gbigbi irji a njaji
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
indi wa irji ton a ani tre ni lan u rji ana no ruhu a ni tsara tsara na
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
itie kpayemen nl vrena na ka koggen no nriwoma
