John 3
1 Now there was one of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus--a ruler among the Jews.
Hwa hali omuntu oFalisayo itawa aliyo Nikodemo, wali jumbe mwibaraza lya Yahudi.
2 He came to Jesus by night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher from God; for no one can do these miracles which you are doing, unless God is with him.
Omuntu abhaliye Ogosi oYesu na hubhozye nabi timenye aje awe oli mwalimwa afume hwa Ngolobhe, afuataje nomo umuntu wagabhombe ezi zyo bhomba awe paka abhanje nawe.”
3 "In most solemn truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless a man is born anew he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
O Yesu ajile, “Atesheli, atesheli, umuntu sawezizye ahwinjile amwanya paka apapwe emara yabhele.”
4 "How is it possible," Nicodemus asked, "for a man to be born when he is old? Can he a second time enter his mother's womb and be born?"
O Nikodemo ajile, “Agapapwa bhole wakati endi gogolo? Sawezizye ahwinjile muvianda mwa nyina wakwe emara ya bhele, na papwe shigabha?”
5 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
O Yesu ajile etesheli etesheli umuntu nkasaga papwe humenze na hu Mpepo, sawazizye ahwinjile hwa Ngolobhe.
6 Whatever has been born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
Hahapepwe hubele hubele, hahapepwe husi Loho heshiroho.
7 Do not be astonished at my telling you, 'You must all be born anew.'
Ungaje aswije shanabhozezye, 'lazima apape emara ya bhele.'
8 The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is it with every one who has been born of the Spirit."
Ehala evugula hwahonti hwehwanza abhale izu lyakwe mliovwa, ila semuhwelewa hwefuma wala ata hwebhala sashili ehali ya wantu bhabhapepwe hushiroho.
9 "How is all this possible?" asked Nicodemus.
O Nikodemo ajile, nayanje, Enongwa iziu ziwezehena?”
10 "Are you," replied Jesus, "'the Teacher of Israel,' and yet do you not understand these things?
O Yesu ajile, “Awe oli mwalimwa we Israeli, sogamenye amambo ega?
11 In most solemn truth I tell you that we speak what we know, and give testimony of that of which we were eye-witnesses, and yet you all reject our testimony.
Eteshela, eteshela, ehubhozya hala hati hamenye tihayanga hwa hala hatihalolile. Ila semwaposhenje olweteshelo wetu.
12 If I have told you earthly things and none of you believe me, how will you believe me if I tell you of things in Heaven?
Nkashe embabho zezye enongwa zyepa pansi na semuhweteshele nkanaibhabhozya ezya mwanya?
13 There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose home is in Heaven.
Afuatanaje nomo wazubhile humwanya mbinguni ila omwahale ahishile, Omwana wa Adamu.
14 And just as Moses lifted high the serpent in the Desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
Nansi shila oMusa shabhosezye enzoha mwipoli, shesho shesho Omwana wa Adamu abhosewe,
aje bhonti bhabha yetesha wapataje owomi wewila wila. (aiōnios g166)
16 For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have the Life of Ages. (aiōnios g166)
Hunamna ene Ongolobhe aigene insi, paka afumizye omwana wakwe waje umuntu wowonti wai humweteha aganje teje mowomi we wila wila. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
Ongolobhe sagatumile mwana wakwe munsi aje alonje ensi, ahenzele aje ensi efyolwe no mwahale.
18 He who trusts in Him does not come up for judgement. He who does not trust has already received sentence, because he has not his trust resting on the name of God's only Son.
Wahumweteshela omwahale sagailongwa. Umwene wasagahumweteshela alongwile tayali sababu salyeteshela itawa lya Mwana wa Ngolobhe.
19 And this is the test by which men are judged--the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than they loved the Light, because their deeds were wicked.
Ene yenongwa eyalongwe, aje olukhozyo lwenzele munsi, awantu wasongwelwe enkisi ashile olughozyo alengane embombo zyabho zya mbibhi.
20 For every wrongdoer hates the light, and does not come to the light, for fear his actions should be exposed and condemned.
omntu wowonti wabhomba embibhi aluvitwa olukhozyo wala sahwenza mulokhozyo aje embombo zyakwe zigabhoneha wene.
21 But he who does what is honest and right comes to the light, in order that his actions may be plainly shown to have been done in God.
Omwene, wabhomba zyelyoli ahwenza hulukhozyo aje embombo zyakwe zibhoneshe aje ziwoombwa hulunyenyekelo lwa Ngolobhe.
22 After this Jesus and His disciples went into Judaea; and there He made a stay in company with them and baptized.
Badala yego, oYesu pamo na bhanafunzi bhakwe bhabhalile hunsi ye Yudea. Ohwo akheye muda pamo nabho ali abhozya.
23 And John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there were many pools of water there; and people came and received baptism.
O Yohana aliahwozyaohwo hu Ainea pepe na Salim afutanaje hwaliamenze minii hula. Abhantu bhahenzaga hwa mwahale ahwozewe,
24 (For John was not yet in prison.)
afuatanaje oYohana alisaponyiziwe mwijela.
25 As the result, a discussion having arisen on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purification,
Hwafumiye amadali abhanafunzi bha Yohana na Myahudi ahusu evikulukulu vya hwiyozye.
26 they came to John and reported to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan and to whom you bore testimony is now baptizing, and great numbers of people are resorting to him."
Bhabhalile hwa Yohana bhabhabhozezye aje, “Rabi, omwene wohali nawo hwisyela Lisoho Yordani, omwene wahahakikisizye enongwa zyakwe, enya, obhozya awantu bhonti bhabhala bhahulondolela.”
27 "A man cannot obtain anything," replied John, "unless it has been granted to him from Heaven.
O Yohana ajile omuntu sagaposhela hantu haonti ila nkashe apewilwe afume amwanya.
28 You yourselves can bear witness to my having said, 'I am not the Christ,' but 'I am His appointed forerunner.'
Amwe mwemwe muhakikisizye aje nayanjile aje, 'ane sene Kilisiti', pamande yakwe nayanjile, 'aje entumwilwe hwitazi lyakwe.'
29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; and the bridegroom's friend who stands by his side and listens to him, rejoices heartily on account of the bridegroom's happiness. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete.
Omwene wali no bibi harusi yo mweji we harusi. Eshi manyani wa mweji we harusi, wahwemelela na tejizye asongwa tee afutanaje izulya bwana harusi. Ene esalezi lusongwo lwane lwalukamilishe.
30 He must grow greater, but I must grow less.
Ahwanziwa ahwonjelele na ehwanziwa apongoshe.
31 He who comes from above is above all. He whose origin is from the earth is not only himself from the earth, his teaching also is from the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all.
Omwene wafuma humwanya, ali hugonti omwene wali wa munsi afuma munsi na ayanga enongwa zyeshi ngolobhe. Omwene wafuma humwana ali pamwanya pagonti.
32 What He has seen and heard, to that He bears witness; but His testimony no one receives.
Omwene wayanga gala gagalolile nagomvwe, nomo waposhela enongwa zyakwe.
33 Any man who has received His testimony has solemnly declared that God is true.
Omwene waposheye enongwa zyakwe ahakikisizye aje Ongolobhe welyoli.
34 For He whom God has sent speaks God's words; for God does not give the Spirit with limitations."
Afuatane naje omwane watumwilwe no Ngolobhe ayanga enongwa zya Ngolobhe. Afatanaje sahupela Ompepo eshipimo.
35 The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything to His hands.
Odaada ahugana Omwana na apiye evintu vyonti mumakhono gakwe.
