John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews,
Ama li den pia niyendo ke o yi Nikodema ki tie falisieni, ki go tie Jufinba yudanba siiga yendo.
2 this one came unto him by night, and said to him, 'Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come — a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.'
O den cua Jesu kani ku ñiagu ki yedi o: Canba ti bani ke a tie ya bangika n ñani U Tienu kani, kelima o bakuli kan fidi ki yaa tiendi han tiendi yaa banciama ne li yaa tie U Tienu n ye leni yua.
3 Jesus answered and said to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;'
Jesu den guani ki yedi o: Imoamoani imoamoani kani n yedi a, yaa nilo n ki mali mi maa panma kan fidi le U Tieenu diema.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 'How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?'
Nikodema den guani ki yedi: Nikpelo mo daa, li baa tieni lede yo ban go maa o? Naani li baa tuo wan go guani kua o naa tugu nni wan maa o.
5 Jesus answered, 'Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;
Jesu den guani ki yedi o: Imoamoani imoamoani kani n yedi a, yua n ki mali mi ñima leni U Tienu fuoma yua yaa madi, o kan fidi ki kua U Tienu diema nni.
6 that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit.
Ti gbannandi n mali yua kuli pia ti gbannandi yaa miali buolu yo, ama U Tienu fuoma yua n mali yua kuli pia U Tienu fuoma yua miali.
7 'Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above;
Lan da bagi a, ke n yedi: Kali yin maa mi maapanma.
8 the Spirit where he willeth doth blow, and his voice thou dost hear, but thou hast not known whence he cometh, and whither he goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit.'
Ufaalu figi wun bua naani ke a gba u sagimu ama haa bani wun ñani naankani, haa go bani wun caa naani mo, U Tienu fuoma yua n mali yua moko tie yene.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, 'How are these things able to happen?'
Nikodema den buali Jesu, laa bonla mo baa tieni lede ki tieni?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, 'Thou art the teacher of Israel — and these things thou dost not know!
Jesu den guani ki yedi o: Fini yua n tie isalele siiga bangikaciamo haa bani laa bonla?
11 'Verily, verily, I say to thee — What we have known we speak, and what we have seen we testify, and our testimony ye do not receive;
N yedi a yi moamoani ti wangi tin bani yaala leni tin laa yaala, ama yii tuodi ki gaani ti siedi.
12 if the earthly things I said to you, and ye do not believe, how, if I shall say to you the heavenly things, will ye believe?
N ya maadi ki tinga nni bonla ke yii ga li fuuli, li baa ga lede yo, n ya maadi tanpoli bonla maama yin ga li fuuli?
13 and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down — the Son of Man who is in the heaven.
O bakuli ki doni tanpoli, li yaa tie yua n ñani tanpoli ki jiidi, lani n tie O joa Bijua yua, n ye tanpoli.
14 'And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up,
Nani Musa n den joani o kumoanwa mi fanpienma nni maama yeni, kali ban joani Ojoa Bijua moko yeni,
15 that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during, (aiōnios g166)
ke yua n daani o kuli n fidi ki baa yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
16 for God did so love the world, that His Son — the only begotten — He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during. (aiōnios g166)
Kelima U Tienu den bua handuna hali boncianla, ki puni o bi ja yenyenga ke yua n daani o kuli n da bodi ama wan baa yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;
Kelima U Tienu naa den soani o bi Jua handuna nni ke wan jia handuna buudi ka, ama ke wan faabi handuna.
18 he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Yua n daani o kuli bi kan jia o buudi, ama yua n ki daani o wani bi tuodi ki jia o buudi kelima waa daani U Tienu bon ja yenyenga.
19 'And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;
Yaala n baa teni ban jia bi niba ti buudi tie ke mi yenma cua handuna nni, ama bi niba bua li biigili ki ha mi yenma kelima bi tuona bia.
20 for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected;
Kelima yua n tiendi yaala n bia kuli o nani mi yenma waa bua ki cua mi yenma kani kelima ojie o tuona n da doagidi.
21 but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'
Ama yua n tuuni yi moamoani nni baa cua mi yenma kani kelima o bua o tuona n doagidi, kelima o tuona tie U Tienu yanbuame.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing;
Lani n pendi Jesu ieni o hoadikaaba den gedi jude tinga nni, o den ye leni o hoadkaaba likani ki batisi bi niba.
23 and John was also baptizing in Aenon, nigh to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being baptized —
Jan moko den ye Eno, ya dogu n kuu leni samali ki batisi bi niba, kelima mi ñima den yaba likani, bi niba kuli den kpendi ke o batisi ba
24 for John was not yet cast into the prison —
kelima li sua ke bi daa kuani Jan li kadidieli nni.
25 there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
Jan hoadikaaba siiga bi tianba den nia leni jufi yendo yaala n tie mi walihanbima bogida po.
26 and they came unto John, and said to him, 'Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou didst testify, lo, this one is baptizing, and all are coming unto him.'
Bi den cua ki yedi Jan: Canba yua n den ye leni a judana kandima po yeni, han den tieni yua yaapo siedi yeni, o batisi bi niba, ke bi niba kuli caa o kani.
27 John answered and said, 'A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven;
Jan den guani ki yedi ba: O nilo kan fidi ki baa li ba, kali U Tienu n den tuodi ki puni o yaala tanpoli po.
28 ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him;
Yinba yiba tie n siedinba ke n yedi: Mini ka, tie Kilisiti «lani n tie U Tienu n gandi yua» Ama bi den soani nni o liiga.
29 he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled.
Yua n die opocaano tie opocaano calo. Ama opocaano calo danli yua n ye o kani ya gbadi opocaano calo nialu, o pali yen mangi hali boncianla, kelima opcaano calo nialu po. Li yaa po n moko pia li pamanli cianli.
30 'Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less;
Kali wan yaa yabidi n mo min yaa wada.
31 he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaketh; he who from the heaven is coming is above all.
Yua n ñani tanpoli ki cua cie nilo kuli, yua n tie ki tinga nni yua maadi nani ki tinga nni bonla yaa maama, ama yua n ñani tanpoli cie nilo kuli.
32 'And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;
o tiendi siedi wan laa ki go gbadi yaala po, ama nilo ba kuli ki ga o maama.
33 he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;
Yua n ga o siedi saa yi moamoani ke U Tienu tie moamondaano.
34 for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;
Kelima U Tienu n soani yua maadi U Tienu maama, kelima U Tienu gbieni o, o fuoma yua.
35 the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;
Baa bua bi Jua ki tieni li bonla kuli bali o nuu nni.
36 he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.' (aiōnios g166)
Yua n daani bi Jua pia yaa miali n kan gbeni, ama yua n ki daani bi Jua kan le li miali U Tienu pabienli cuonu bebe n baa jagi o yulipo. (aiōnios g166)
