< John 3 >

1 But there was one of the Pharishee whose name was Nikodimos, a ruler of the Jihudoyee:
Hambu atahori esa mia partei agama Farisi, naran Nikodemus. Eni, atahori Yahudi ra meser monaen esa.
2 this came to Jeshu in the night, and said to him, Rabi, we know that from Aloha thou art sent a teacher; for no man can these signs perform which thou doest, unless Aloha be with him.
Lao esa, ana nema tetembaꞌ nandaa no Yesus. Boe ma ana nae, “Ama Meser! Hai bubꞌuluꞌ oi, Lamatualain mana denu Papa fo munori hai. Huu manadadꞌi-manaseliꞌ fo Papa taoꞌ ra naa, ratudꞌu bukti oi, Lamatualain mana fee koasa naa neu Papa. Mete ma nda taꞌo naa sa, na, tantu manadadꞌi-manaseliꞌ naa nda dadꞌi sa.”
3 Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of Aloha.
Yesus nataa nae, “Tebꞌe! Ma Au ae ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: mete ma atahori nda nenebonggi baliꞌ sa, na, ana nda dadꞌi Lamatualain atahorin sa.”
4 Nikodimos said to him, How can an old man be born? Who can again the womb of his mother the second time enter, and be born?
Boe ma Nikodemus natane nae, “Taꞌo bee fo atahori bisa nenebonggiꞌ onaꞌ naa, mete ma ana naꞌamoko ena!? Ana nda bisa baliꞌ lao ka ruan nisiꞌ maman tein rala neu, fo bonggi seluꞌ e sa. Nda bisa sa, to!?”
5 Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, That if a man be not born of waters and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Aloha.
Yesus nataa nae, “Tebꞌe! Te Au ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: atahori musi nenebonggiꞌ no oe fo dadꞌi meuꞌ, ma nenebonggiꞌ no dula-daleꞌ a fo dadꞌi atahori feuꞌ. No taꞌo naa, dei fo ana bisa dadꞌi Lamatualain atahorin.
6 Whatever is born of the flesh, is flesh; and whatever is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
Huu atahori nenebonggiꞌ mia atahori, te atahori dula-dalen nenebonggi feuꞌ mia Lamatualain Dula-dalen.
7 Wonder not that I have said to thee, that it behoves you to be born anew.
Afiꞌ tabanganga mete ma Au ae, ‘Hei musi nenebonggi feuꞌ, fo hambu masodꞌa feuꞌ.’
8 The wind bloweth where she willeth, and her voice thou hearest; but thou knowest not whence she cometh, nor whither she goeth: so is every man who is born of the Spirit.
Ata taꞌasasamaꞌ no anin. Huu anin humbu tungga hihiin. Hita rena muun, te nda bubꞌuluꞌ ana mia bee nema, ma nae bee neu sa boe. Basa atahori mana nenebonggi feuꞌ mia Lamatualain Dula-dalen o onaꞌ naa boe. Huu ata bisa tita Lamatualain Dula-dalen tao atahori dadꞌi feuꞌ ena, mae hita nda tahine tae taꞌo bee de dalaꞌ naa bisa dadꞌi.”
9 Nikodimos answered and said to him, How can these things be?
Basa ma Nikodemus natane nae, “Taꞌo bee de bisa dadꞌi taꞌo naa?”
10 Jeshu answered and said to him, Art thou Malphona of Israel, and these knowest not?
Yesus nataa nae, “We, aꞌa. Aꞌa dadꞌi atahori Israꞌel ra meser monaen ena. Taꞌo bee de aꞌa nda nahine dalaꞌ ia ra sa?
11 Amen, amen, I say to thee, What we know we speak, and what we have seen we testify; but our testimony you receive not.
Au ufadꞌe tetebꞌes. Naa, hai, naeni Au o atahori nggara, mihine dalaꞌ ia ra. Huu hai dadꞌi sakasii soꞌal dala-dalaꞌ fo hai mita no mata mara ena. Te hei nda simbo no maloleꞌ hai oꞌola mara sa.
12 If of (what is) on earth I tell you, and you believe not, how if I tell you of (what is) in heaven, could you believe me?
Hei nda nau mimihere leleꞌ Au ufadꞌe dala-dalaꞌ manadadꞌiꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia sa. Saa fai mete ma Au ufadꞌe soꞌal dala-dala manadadꞌi sia lalai a. Tantu hei nda mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ sa boe!
13 AND no man hath ascended into heaven, but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man, he who is in heaven.
Nda hambu atahori esa sa boe hene neu nataa mbali Lamatuaꞌ sia lalai a sa. Akaꞌ Au, naeni Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, mana onda nema mia E.
14 And as Musha elevated the serpent in the wilderness, so is to be elevated the Son of man,
Fai maꞌahulun sia mamana rouꞌ, baꞌi Musa londa mengge riti esa sia hau ata, fo basa atahori mete rita e, fo ara hambu masodꞌaꞌ. Dalaꞌ onaꞌ naa boe o musi dadꞌi fee Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia. Dei fo ara rae londa doko-doko au sia hau ata,
15 that every man who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
fo basa atahori mana ramahere Au hambu masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ nda mana basaꞌ sa. (aiōnios g166)
16 For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Huu Lamatualain sue-lai naseliꞌ basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia. Naeni de Ana denu Au, Ana isen ia, fo basa atahori mana ramahere neu Au nda saranggaa mia Lamatualain sa. No taꞌo naa, ara hambu masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ nda etu ma nda basa sa. (aiōnios g166)
17 For Aloha sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might live by him.
Naa! Lamatualain nda denu Au, Anan ia, uma sia raefafoꞌ ia fo nggero-furi atahori huku-dokin sa. Te Ana denu Au fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori mia sala-kilu nara.
18 He who believeth on him is not judged, and he who believeth not is judged already, because he believeth not in the name of the only-begotten Son of Aloha.
Lamatualain nda huku-doki atahori mana ramahere neu Au sa. Te Ana naꞌetu memaꞌ huku-dokiꞌ fee neu atahori nda mana namahere neu Au sa, huu atahori naa nda namahere neu Au sa, naeni Lamatualain Ana isen ia.
19 And this is the judgment, that the light hath come into the world, and the sons of men have loved darkness rather than the light, for their deeds have been evil.
Onaꞌ taꞌo ia: Lamatualain haitua manggareloꞌ a nema fo naronda sia raefafoꞌ ia. Te atahori hiiꞌ a rasodꞌa sia maꞌahatuꞌ a. Ara nda hii rasodꞌa sia manggareloꞌ a sa, huu sira tataon nara nda maloleꞌ sa. Naa de Lamatualain nae huku-doki se.
20 For every one who doeth abominable things hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Huu basa atahori nda mana tao maloleꞌ ra sa, binci manggareloꞌ naa. Ara nda hii manggareloꞌ a naronda sia se sa, naa fo manggareloꞌ a afiꞌ soi natudꞌu tatao deꞌulaka nara.
21 But he who doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be known that in Aloha they are wrought.
Te atahori mana tao tungga ndoo-tetuꞌ a, ara rema fo manggareloꞌ a naronda sia se. Huu manggareloꞌ a natudꞌu nae, sira tao tungga Lamatualain hihii-nanaun.”
22 AFTER these came Jeshu and his disciples into the land of Jihuda, and there conversed with them and baptized.
Basa naa ma, Yesus no ana mana tungga nara lao hela kota Yerusalem, de leo raꞌatataaꞌ sia nusa Yudea. Ara sarani atahori sia naa.
23 But Juchanon also was baptizing in Ein-yon, near Sholim, because the waters were there many; and they came and were baptized;
Leleꞌ naa, Herodes se nda feꞌe tao Yohanis bui rala neu sa. Ma Yohanis o sarani atahori sia kambo Ainon, deka kambo Salim, huu oe mataꞌ hetar sia naa. Boe ma atahori akaꞌ rema sia Yohanis fo ana sarani se.
24 for not yet was Juchanon cast into the house of the bound.
25 But there was a question with some of the disciples of Juchanon (and) a certain Jihudoya, upon purification.
Naa, agama Yahudi hambu adꞌat esa fo tao nemeu aoꞌ, dei fo ara feꞌe bisa hule-oꞌe ena. Sia naa, hambu atahori Yahudi esa nareresi no Yohanis ana mana tungga nara soꞌal dalaꞌ naa.
26 And they came to Juchanon, and said to him, Raban, he who was with thee at the passage of Jurdan, (and) concerning whom thou didst give witness, he also baptizeth, and many come to him.
Basa ma ara rema risiꞌ Yohanis de rafadꞌe rae, “Ama Meser! Musunedꞌa do hokoꞌ, Atahori fo mana sangga papa mia loe Yarden bobꞌoan, fo papa mae, Eni, Kristus? Ana o sarani atahori boe! Nda hambu rema sia hai sa ena! Huu basa atahori akaꞌ reu sia E!”
27 Juchanon answered and said to them, A man cannot receive of his own will any thing, unless it be given to him from heaven.
Yohanis nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Atahori nda bisa tao rala saa-saa sa boe, mete ma Lamatualain sia sorga nda soi dalaꞌ fee ne sa.
28 You bear me witness that I said, I am not the Meshicha, but I am an apostle before him.
Hei rena au ufadꞌe relo-relo ena ae, ‘Au ia, nda Kristus fo hita tahaniꞌ a sa. Te Lamatualain denu au uma uꞌuhuluꞌ, fo soi dalaꞌ fee neu Kristus. Taꞌoꞌ a naa ena!’
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and attendeth him, with great joy rejoiceth on account of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy therefore, behold, is complete.
Conto, tou mana nae saoꞌ a naꞌena inaꞌ fo nae saoꞌ a. Te eni sakasii na, mana nambariiꞌ no eni, leleꞌ rena tou mana nae saoꞌ ola-olaꞌ na ralan namahoꞌo. Yesus naa, onaꞌ tou mana nae saoꞌ esa. Boe ma au ia, onaꞌ Eni sakasii na. Naeni de leleꞌ ia rala ngga namahoꞌo nala seli.
30 To him it must be to increase, and to me to decrease.
Pantin na, Eni musi bau dadꞌi atahori manaseliꞌ nakandoo, ma au bau umukura ukundoo dadꞌi atahori ana dikiꞌ.”
31 For he who from above hath come, is above all; and he who is from the earth, is of the earth, and of the earth speaketh: he who from heaven hath come, is above all.
Yohanis tute oꞌolan nae, “Ana onda nema mia Lamatualain sia lalai, naeni de Ana monaeꞌ lenaꞌ mia basaꞌ e. Te au uma miaꞌ a raefafoꞌ ia, naeni de au onaꞌ basa atahori mana sia raefafoꞌ ia. Au olaꞌ soꞌal dala mana dadꞌi tungga-tungga fai sia raefafoꞌ ia. Te mana onda nema mia Lamatualain sia lalai a naa, Eni manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ basa e.
32 And what he hath seen and heard he testifieth, and his testimony no man receiveth.
Ana nafadꞌe soꞌal saa fo Ana nita ma rena ena. Te atahori nda simbo no malole saa fo Ana nafadꞌeꞌ a sa.
33 But he who hath received his testimony, hath sealed that the true Aloha is he.
Mete ma atahori simbo saa fo Atahori mana nema mia ataꞌ naa nefadꞌen, naa o natudꞌu bukti boe oi, namahere Lamatualain oꞌolan naa, tebꞌe.
34 For he whom Aloha hath sent, the very words of Aloha speaketh; for it was not in measure that Aloha gave the Spirit.
Atahori fo Lamatualain haitua nemaꞌ a, nafadꞌe Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin. Te Lamatualain fee Dula-dalen nda mana etu mana basaꞌ sa neu Eni ena.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and every thing hath he given into his hands.
Huu Amaꞌ sia sorga sue nala Anan seli. Ma Ana fee basa-bꞌasaꞌ e neu Anaꞌ naa liman ena.
36 He who believeth in the Son hath the life which is eternal; and he who obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Aloha remaineth on him. (aiōnios g166)
Ma atahori mana namahere neu Anan, ara hambu masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ nda mana basaꞌ sa. Te atahori nda mana namahere neu E sa, ma nda tao tungga hehelu-fufulin sa, ara nda hambu masodꞌaꞌ naa sa, huu Lamatualain akaꞌ natudꞌuꞌ a nasan fo huku-doki se.” (aiōnios g166)
