John 3
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Jehudi noksong phansiitte Nikodimas ngeh ih Pharisi mih wasiit angta.
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.
Pheesiit Jisu reeni wang ano li wangta, [Chuupha, seng ih jat ehi an Rangte ih kaat thuk ho rah nyootte warah ah. Rangte heh damdoh lah angka bah an reelu paatjaajih loong ah o uh tajen reeka.
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.
Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Ngah ih amiisak tiit ah baat hala; o uh weedop tup lah eka bah Rangte hasong ah mabah uh tachoh tupka ang ah.”
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?
“Mihak ah mamah ma we ngaak dongtup ah?” Nikodimas ih chengta. “Amiimi dobah heh nuh mong nah tami ngaak nopka eno dopnyi tami doptup ka!”
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.
“Ngah ih amiisak tiit ah baat hala,” Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Ju nyia Chiiala nah latupka bah Rangte Hasong nah o uh tajen nop wangka.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Mina ah hansi ni henuh hewah ih dongtup ha; enoothong chiiala lam dobah Chiiala nawa ih tup ah.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.
Sen loong ah weedop tup jaatjaat etheng ngeh ih baatrum kohaano nak paatja an.
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.
Pong ah madi pongtheng ah erah di pongla; sen ih pong huuk ah ba chaat han, enoothong manawa pongwang hala nyia maako pong kala erah an ih tajatko. Erah raangtaan ih o mina Chiiala nawa ih tup ha mirep erah likhiik ang ah.”
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
“Emah mamah mi ang ah?” Nikodimas ih chengta.
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?
Jisu ih ngaakbaatta. “Ijirel ni nyootte elong laangma ang uh, eno an ih erah tanih jatko?
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.
Ngah ih amiisak tiit ah baat hala: Seng ih marah jat hi erah jengli nyia marah tup hi erah ah baat hi, erabah uh sen loong ah ih o ih uh seng jengkhaap ah tathang kan.
12 If I told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you heavenly things?
Arah mongrep dowa jaatrep tiit baat rumhala ah sen ih tahanpi ri; eno, Rangmong hasong tiit baat rumhala tang ah, mamah ma ih hanpi an?
13 And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, which is in heaven.
Eno rangmong ni wasiit taan uh maang thaak wangka, rangmong nawa ra taha Mina Sah ah luulu ba.”
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Phisaang hani Moses ih jaanmeen nawa hoon arah pu ah thong ni toonbotta, erah likhiik ih Mina Sah ah toonbot jaatjaat ih ah,
tiimnge liidi o mina ih heh hanpi ah erah mih rah ih lathoon roidong ah choh ah. (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)
Rangte ih mongrep ah erah than ih minchanha Hesah wasiit luulu ah thoonkota, tiimnge liidi o mina ih heh hanpi ah erah tatiika erah nang ebah lathoon roidong ah ba choh ah. (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.
Rangte ih Hesah ah arah mongrep dandeete tadaap jataha, erah nang ih khopui pang suh daapkaat taha.
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.
O mina ih Hesah ah hanpiiha erah tadande ka ang ah; enoothong o mina ih lahanpiika erabah jen dande eta, tiimnge liidi heh ih Rangte Sah heh luulu ah tahanpiika.
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.
Dande ah emamah ih dande kaat ah; weephaak ah mongrep ni phaak e ra hala, enoothong mina loong ah ih weephaak nang ih laamang asuh ese choha, tiimnge liidi neng reeraang ah ethih.
20 For every one that doeth ill hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.
O mina ethih mokala erah mih ah ih weephaak ah echiik eha eno weephaak ni tawangra, tiimnge liidi neng ethih reeraang loong ah noisok suh tanook rumka.
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.
Enoothong o mina ih amiisak moot ah mokala erah loong ah ba weephaak adoh thok haano heh reeraangta ah Rangte jeng chaatchaat ih reeta ngeh ih weephaak ah ih noisok rum ah.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
Erah lilih, Jisu nyia heliphante loong ah Judia hadaang ko ih karumta, erah ni Jisu neng damdi chomroe saapoot roongtong ano juutem thuk rumta.
23 And John also was baptizing in AEnon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
Aenon ni ju ah hantek ang kano, Joon ih uh erah hah ni juutem rumta, erah hah ah Salim dowa ih haloh tah angta. Miloong ah heh reeni karumta, eno Joon ih ju ah tem ih rumta. (
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
Erah langla Joon phaatak ni maangsak kaadi.)
25 There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying.
Joon liphante loong dowa mararah ah Jehudi damdi neng banlam juusaakaat thoidi daanmui rumta.
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.
Erah thoidi Joon reeni wangrum ano liiwang rumta, [Nyootte, Jordan ju saadongko adi an damdi angta wah ah dokthun thaak uh, an ih kabaattu warah ah? Heh ih amadi juutem rumha, eno loongtang heh reeni karumla!]
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.
Joon ih ngaakbaat rumta, [O suh uh Rangte ih lakoka bah tiim uh tachoka.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.
Ngah ih baatrum taha nga haaki ah sen loong ah, ‘Ngah Kristo tah angkang, enoothong heh ngah ni ngah ban kaat thuk halang.’
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.
Jaaro suh nookte jaalah ah heteenuh kapte jaaro ah raangtaan ih; eno jaalah kapte warah reeni chapla joonte loong ah heh root ah japchaat rum ano eroon ela. Nga tenroon ah emamah ih ang ah.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Jisu ah nga nang ih elong jaatjaat ang ah ngah ehin.]
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.
O khothung nawa ra hala ah loongtang nang ih elongthoon. O arah hah nawa dongla erabah arah hah raangtaan eno heh ih bah arah hatoh hadaang tiit baat ah, enoothong o rangmong nawa ra hala erabah loongtang nang ih echoong ni.
32 What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness.
Heh ih tiimjaat tupta nyia chaatta ah baat ha, erabah uh heh tiitkhaap ah o ih uh takapka.
33 He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to [this], that God is true.
Enoothong o ih heh tiitkhaap ah kap eha erah dowa ih jattheng Rangte ah amiisak ju.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
Rangte ih marah wasiit daapjah hala heh Rangte jeng jengla, tiimnge liidi heh suh Rangte ih Chiiala thoontang koha.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
Hewah ih Hesah ah rapne ih minchan thoidi jirep ah heh chaan hephaan khui ni thiinkoha.
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)
O ih Hesah ah hanpi eha erah taang ni lathoon roidong ah jeela; Hesah jeng laboichaatte loong asuh bah roidong tajeeka, erah nang ebah Rangte tenkhat khui nah cham ah. (aiōnios g166)
