John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews,
Uugwa ai ukoli nu Afarisayo nai iza ilina nilakwe Nikodemo, ung'wi nua anyampala ni i anza nila Ayahudi.
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.'
Muntu uyu ai umuhangile uYesu utiku nu kumuila, “Rabi, kulingile kina wi ng'walimu kupuma kung'wa Itunda, ku ndogoelyo kutili u muntu nu humile kituma izi yihi Itunda aze wikutili palung'wi nu ng'wenso.”
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;'
uYesu akamusukiilya, “Huiila huiila, shsnga uhumile u muntu kingila mu utemi nuang'wa Itunda anga wahite kutugwa nkua a kabiili.”
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?'
uNikodemo akaligitya, “Umuntu uhumile uli kutugwa aze mnyampala? Shanga uhumile kingila munda ang'wa nyinya nuakwe nkua a kabiili nu kutugwa, itii uhuile uli?”
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;
uYesu akasukiilya, “Huiila huiila muntu anga wahite kutugwa ku mazi nu ku Ng'wau Ng'welu, shanga uhumile kingila mu utemi nuang'wa Itunda.
6 that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit.
Ni kitugilwe ku muili inge muili, hangi nikitugilwe ku nkolo inge nkolo.
7 'Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above;
Leka ku kuilwa kunsoko aza nakuilaa, inge kusinja kutugwa nkua aka biili.
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.'
Ung'wega wikunkaa pihi ku uloilwe nu luli nu lakwe mulijaa, kuiti shanga mulingile kuupumiie nuko ku ulongoe. Uugwa ni yili i hali a kila nutugilwe nu Ng'wau Ng'welu.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, 'How are these things able to happen?'
uNikodemo akasukiilya, ku kuligitya, “Makani aya ahumikile uli?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, 'Thou art the teacher of Israel — and these things thou dost not know!
uYesu akasukiilya, “u ewe wi ng'walimu nua Israeli shanga ulingile ga ni makani aya?
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;
Huiila, huiila, nu kuuila, iko ni kukilingile kuuki kuiila ku iko ni kuki hengile. kuiti shanga mukusingiilya u ukuili nu itu.
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?
Anga ize namuilaa imakani aya apa mihi shanga mu huiie, muhumile uli kuhuiila anga numuile imakani na kilunde?
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.
Ndogoelyo kutili nai unankie migulya kupuma kilunde kwaala ng'wenso nai usimile, uNg'wana wang'wa Adamu.
14 'And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up,
Anga uu uMusa nai umiyansue inzoka mi bambazi, u uu uNg'wa nu ang'wa Adamu kusinja wanyansulwe,
15 that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during, (aiōnios g166)
iti kina ihi ni ika muhuiila alije u upanga nua kali na kali. (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)
Ku ndogoelyo iyi Itunda ai u uloelwe u unkumbigulu, kina akamupumya u ng'wana nu akwe nu ing'wene, iti kina muntu wihi nu muhuiie waleke kulimila ila watule nu upanga nua kali na kali. (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;
Ku nsoko Itunda shanga ai umulagiiye ung'wana nu akwe mihi iti aulamule u unkumbigulu, ila kina u unkumbigulu ugunike mung'wa akwe.
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.
Nu muhuiie nuanso shanga ukulamulwa. Nuanso ni shanga umuhuiie yakondaa walamulwaa ku nsoko shanga ulihuiie i lina nila Ng'wana wing'wene nuang'wa Itunda.
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;
Iyi yiyo nsoko a ulamulwa, nia kina u welu ai uzile mu unkumbigulu, kuiti iana adamu akalowa kiti ikilo a welu ku nsoko ntendo ni ao ai yatulaa ya ubii.
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;
Kila muntu nuitumaa u ubii wibipilwaa u welu ni iti shanga uzile mu welu iti kina intendo niakwe ileke kuikwa ng'walyi.
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.'
Kuiti, nuanso nuitumaa i tai wizaa mu welu iti intendo niakwe igeeleke kina yitumilwe ku ikulyo ni lang'wa Itunda.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing;
Ze akilaa aya, uYesu palung'wi ni amanyisigwa akalongola mihi a Yudea. Kung'wanso ai utumie itungo palung'wi ni enso hangi ai watulaa ukoja.
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 —
Itungili ga nu uYohana ai watulaa ukoja uko ku Ainea pakupi ni Salam ndogoelyo ai akoli ni mazi idu pang'wanso. Antu ai atulaa akupembya kitalakwe nu kogigwa,
24 for John was not yet cast into the prison —
ku nsoko uYohana ai watulaa wakili kugung'wa mu kadulumu.
25 there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
Uugwa ai ipumie wikungumi mu amanyisigwa ang'wa Yohana ni Ayahudi kutula siku kuu nia weligwa.
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.'
Akalongola kung'wa Yohana akamuila, “Rabi, nuanso naza mine nu ng'wenso kitumbi nila mongo nua Yordani, Ng'wenso nai ukuiie i nkani ni akwe, goza, ukoja ni ihi akulongola akumutyata.”
27 John answered and said, 'A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven;
uYohana akasukiilya umuntu shanga uhumile kusingiilya kintu kihi kwaala anga ize winkiiigwe kupuma kilunde.
28 ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him;
uNyenye akola mikuiila kina aindigitilye kina, 'unene shanga ni kilisto; badala akwe ai ndigitilye, 'ndagiigwe ntongeela akwe.'
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.
Nuanso nuine nu mutiziila ingi mukulu nua winga. Itungili umuhumbamuya nuang'wa mukulu nua winga, nuimikaa nu kutegeelya wiloeelya lukulu kunsoko a luli nula mukulu nua winga. Uwu itungili ingi ulowa nu ane ni ukondaniie.
30 'Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less;
Utakiwe kukilinkiila nu nene ntakiwe kukepa.
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.
Nuanso nu pembeeye migulya, ukoli migulya a ihi. Nuanso nua unkumbigulu upumiie mu unkumbigulu hangi wiligitya makani a kinya unkumbigulu. Nuanso nupembeeye kilunde ukoli migulya a yihi.
32 'And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;
Nuanso wikuiila ayo nuihengile nu kigiilya, kuiti kutili nuisingiilya u ukuiili nu akwe.
33 he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;
Nuanso nai usingiiye u ukuiili nuakwe ukomaniigwe kina Itunda ingi watai.
34 for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;
Ku nsoko nuanso nai ulagiingwe ni Itunda wiligitya makani ang'wa Itunda. Ku nsoko shanga wiminkiilya uNg'wau ng'welu nua ngele.
35 the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;
uTata wimulowaa ung'wana hangi uminkiiye i intu yihi mu mikono akwe.
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)
Nuanso numuhuiie uNg'wana ukete u upanga nua kali na kali, Kuiti ku ng'waakwe ni shanga ukumukulya uNg'wana shanga ukuihenga u upanga nua kali na kali, ila ikuo ni lang'wa Itunda liambinkanaa migulya akwe. (aiōnios g166)
