John 3
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Akwai wani Bafarisiye mai suna Nikodimus, wani ɗan majalisar 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.
Ya zo wurin Yesu da dad dare ya ce, “Rabbi, mun sani kai malami ne daga Allah. Gama ba wanda zai iya yin waɗannan abubuwan banmamaki da kake yi in Allah ba ya tare da shi.”
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 ya amsa ya ce, “Gaskiya nake faɗa maka, ba wanda zai iya ganin mulkin Allah sai an sāke haihuwarsa.”
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?
Nikodimus ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Yaya za a haifi mutum sa’ad da ya tsufa? Tabbatacce ba zai sāke koma sau na biyu a cikin mahaifiyarsa don a haife shi kuma ba!”
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 ya amsa ya ce, “Gaskiya nake faɗa maka, ba wanda zai iya ganin mulkin Allah sai an haife shi ta wurin ruwa da kuma Ruhu.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Jiki yakan haifi jiki, amma Ruhu yana haifi ruhu.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.
Kada ka yi mamaki da na ce, ‘Dole ne a sāke haifarku.’
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.
Iska takan hura zuwa inda take so. Kai kakan ji motsinta, sai dai ba ka iya sanin inda take fitowa ko kuwa inda za ta. Haka yake ga duk wanda aka haifa ta wurin Ruhu.”
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Nikodimus ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Yaya wannan zai yiwu?”
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?
Yesu ya ce, “Kai ma da kake malami na Isra’ila, ba ka fahimci waɗannan abubuwa ba?
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.
Gaskiya nake faɗa maka, muna magana a kan abin da muka sani, muka kuma shaida abin da muka gani ne, amma har yanzu kun ƙi ku karɓi shaidarmu.
12 If I told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you heavenly things?
Na yi muku magana a kan abubuwan duniya amma ba ku gaskata ba; to, yaya za ku gaskata in na yi magana a kan abubuwan sama?
13 And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, which is in heaven.
Ba wanda ya taɓa hawa zuwa sama sai wanda ya sauka daga sama, wato, Ɗan Mutum.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Kamar dai yadda Musa ya ɗaga maciji a hamada, haka dole ne a ɗaga Ɗan Mutum,
don duk mai gaskata da shi ya sami rai madawwami.” (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)
Gama Allah ya ƙaunaci duniya sosai har ya ba da wanda yake Ɗaya kuma Makaɗaicin Ɗansa domin duk wanda ya gaskata da shi kada yă hallaka sai dai yă sami rai madawwami. (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.
Gama Allah bai aiki Ɗansa duniya don yă yi wa duniya hukunci ba, sai dai domin yă ceci duniya ta wurinsa.
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.
Duk wanda ya gaskata da shi ba za a yi masa hukunci ba, amma duk wanda bai gaskata ba an riga an yi masa hukunci domin bai gaskata da sunan wanda yake Ɗaya kuma Makaɗaicin Ɗan Allah ba.
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.
Hukuncin shi ne, Haske ya zo cikin duniya, amma mutane suka so duhu a maimakon haske domin ayyukansu mugaye ne.
20 For every one that doeth ill hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.
Duk mai aikata mugunta yana ƙin haske, ba zai kuwa zo cikin haske ba don yana tsoro kada ayyukansa su tonu.
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.
Amma duk mai rayuwa bisa ga gaskiya yakan zo cikin haske, domin a gani a sarari cewa ayyukan da ya yi an yi su ne ta wurin Allah.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
Bayan wannan, Yesu da almajiransa suka tafi ƙauyukan Yahudiya, inda ya ɗan jima da su, ya kuma yi baftisma.
23 And John also was baptizing in AEnon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
To, Yohanna ma yana yin baftisma a Ainon kusa da Salim, saboda akwai ruwa da yawa a can, mutane kuwa suka yi ta zuwa don a yi musu baftisma.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
(Wannan kuwa kafin a sa Yohanna a kurkuku.)
25 There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying.
Sai gardama ta tashi tsakanin waɗansu almajiran Yohanna da wani mutumin Yahuda a kan zancen al’adar tsarkakewa.
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.
Sai suka zo wurin Yohanna suka ce masa, “Rabbi, wancan mutumin da yake tare da kai a ƙetaren Urdun, wannan da ka ba da shaida a kansa sosai nan, yana baftisma, kuma kowa yana zuwa wurinsa.”
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.
Ga wannan zancen Yohanna ya amsa ya ce, “Mutum yakan karɓi kawai abin da aka ba shi ne daga sama.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.
Ku kanku za ku shaida cewa na ce, ‘Ba ni ne Kiristi ba, sai dai an aiko ni ne in sha gabansa.’
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.
Ango ne mai amarya. Abokin da yake masa hidima yakan jira ya kuma saurara masa, yakan kuma cika da farin ciki sa’ad da ya ji muryar ango. Wannan farin cikin kuwa nawa ne, ya kuma cika a yanzu.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Dole ne yă yi ta ƙaruwa, ni kuma in yi ta raguwa.
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.
“Wannan da ya zo daga sama ya fi kowa; wannan da ya zo daga ƙasa na ƙasa ne, yana kuma magana kamar wanda ya zo daga ƙasa ne. Wannan da ya zo daga sama ya fi kowa.
32 What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness.
Yana ba da shaidar abin da ya gani da kuma ya ji, duk da haka ba wanda ya yarda da shaidarsa.
33 He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to [this], that God is true.
Mutumin da ya yarda da ita ya tabbatar da cewa Allah mai gaskiya ne.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
Gama wannan da Allah ya aiko yakan faɗi kalmomin Allah ne, gama Allah yana ba da Ruhu babu iyaka.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
Uban yana ƙaunar Ɗan ya kuma danƙa kome a hannuwansa.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
Duk wanda ya gaskata da Ɗan yana da rai madawwami, amma duk wanda ya ƙi Ɗan ba zai sami rai ba, gama fushin Allah yana nan a bisansa.” (aiōnios g166)
