John 3
1 There was however, a man from among the Pharisees, Nicodemus, his name, —ruler of the Jews.
Akwai wani Bafarisiye mai suna Nikodimus, wani ɗan majalisar Yahudawa.
2 The same, came unto him, by night, and said unto him—Rabbi! we know that, from God, thou hast come, a teacher; for, no one, can be doing, these signs, which, thou, art doing, 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 one be born from above, 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, into the womb of his mother, a second time, enter, 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 one be born of water and 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 hath been born of the flesh, is, flesh, and, that which hath been born of the spirit, is, spirit.
Jiki yakan haifi jiki, amma Ruhu yana haifi ruhu.
7 Do not marvel, that I said unto thee: Ye must needs be born from above.
Kada ka yi mamaki da na ce, ‘Dole ne a sāke haifarku.’
8 The spirit, where it pleaseth, doth breathe, and, the sound thereof, thou hearest; but knowest not, whence it cometh and whither it goeth: Thus, is every one who hath been 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, come about?
Nikodimus ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Yaya wannan zai yiwu?”
10 Jesus answered, and said unto him—Art, thou, the teacher of Israel, and, these things, knowest not?
Yesu ya ce, “Kai ma da kake malami na Isra’ila, ba ka fahimci waɗannan abubuwa ba?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee: What we know, we speak, and, of what we have seen, we bear witness, and, our witness, ye receive not.
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, the earthly things, I told you, and ye believe not, How, if I should tell you the heavenly things, will ye believe?
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 one, hath ascended into heaven, save he that, out of heaven, descended, —The Son of Man.
Ba wanda ya taɓa hawa zuwa sama sai wanda ya sauka daga sama, wato, Ɗan Mutum.
14 And, just as, Moses, lifted up the serpent in the desert, 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, his Only Begotten Son, he gave, —that, whosoever believeth on him, might not perish, but have life age-abiding. (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, his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but, that the world might 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 to be judged: he that believeth not, already, hath been judged, —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, hath come into the world, —and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works.
Hukuncin shi ne, Haske ya zo cikin duniya, amma mutane suka so duhu a maimakon haske domin ayyukansu mugaye ne.
20 For, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto 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 unto the light, that his works may be, made manifest, that, in God, have they been wrought.
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 Judaean land; and, there, was he tarrying with them, and immersing.
Bayan wannan, Yesu da almajiransa suka tafi ƙauyukan Yahudiya, inda ya ɗan jima da su, ya kuma yi baftisma.
23 And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; —
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, not yet, had John been cast into prison.
(Wannan kuwa kafin a sa Yohanna a kurkuku.)
25 There arose, therefore, a questioning, from among the disciples of John, with a Jew, —concerning purification.
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 unto him—Rabbi! he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, unto whom, thou, hast borne witness, see! the same, is immersing; and, all, are coming unto 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 out of heaven.
Ga wannan zancen Yohanna ya amsa ya ce, “Mutum yakan karɓi kawai abin da aka ba shi ne daga sama.
28 Ye yourselves, unto me, bear witness, that, I, said—I, am not the Christ; but—I am sent before, That One.
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, bridegroom; but, the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth by and hearkeneth unto him, greatly, rejoiceth, by reason of the voice of the bridegroom. 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 That One, it behoveth to increase, —but, me, to decrease.
Dole ne yă yi ta ƙaruwa, ni kuma in yi ta raguwa.
31 He that, from above, doth come, over all, is: he that is of the earth, of the earth, is, and, of the earth, doth speak: he that, out of heaven, doth come, over all, is,
“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, the same, he beareth witness, —and, his witness, no one, receiveth: —
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 seal—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, the sayings of God, doth speak; for, not by measure, giveth he the Spirit.
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, all things, hath given into his hand.
Uban yana ƙaunar Ɗan ya kuma danƙa kome a hannuwansa.
36 He that believeth on the Son, hath life age-abiding: whereas, he that yieldeth not unto the Son, shall not see life, —but, the anger of God, awaiteth 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)
