Yanisa Mishiracho 3
1 Parsawista baga ass gidida ayhudata hllaqappe issi Niqodimossa getetizaday assi dess.
There was a man named Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council.
2 Izi qamara Yesussakko yidi “astamare Xoossi izara dzade gidikofe atin hayta ne oothiza malalsiza malatata oothanas danda7izadeye dena. Hessa gish ne Xoossa achafe yida astamare gdidayysa nuu erosu” gidass.
He came at night to where Jesus was and said, “Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God, for nobody could do the miraculous signs you're doing unless God was with him.”
3 Yesussaykka izas zaridi “ta nes tumu gays assi namantho yeletoonta agikko Xoossa kawoteth beynanas danda7ena” gidess.
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “Unless you are reborn, you can't experience God's kingdom.”
4 Niqodimosaykka zaridi “histin assi cimidappe guye wandi namaantho yeletan danda7izee? Qassekka gede bee aye ul7on simi gelidi yeletanee?” gidi oychides.
“How can you be reborn when you're old?” Nicodemus asked. “You can't go back into your mother's womb and be born a second time!”
5 Yesussyka izas hizggidi zarides “ta nes tumu gays assi hathafenne Xillo Anappe yeletontaa dishe Xoossa kawoteth gelanass danda7ena.
“I tell you the truth, you can't enter God's kingdom unless you are born of water and the Spirit,” Jesus told him.
6 Asappe yelettida asa. Ayanappe yeletdeye ayana.
“What's born of the flesh is flesh, and what's born of the Spirit is Spirit.
7 Hessa gish (inte nmma7antho yeletanas kooshes) ta nena gida gish malaletofa.
Don't be surprised at my telling you, ‘You must be reborn.’
8 Carkkoy ba koyida baga carkess, ne carkoss gireth siyasa atin izi awappe yizakkonne awa bizakko erakka, ayanafe yelettidaykka hessa malla.”
The wind blows wherever it wants, and just as you hear the sound it makes, but don't know where it's coming from or where it's going, that's how it is for everyone who is born of the spirit.”
9 Niqodimossay “haysi wani hnana danda7ize?” gidi oychdess.
“How is this possible?” Nicodemus asked.
10 Yesussaykka izas “Isra7ele Astemare gidautada hessa ne eriki?
“You're a famous teacher in Israel, and yet you don't understand such things?” Jesus replied.
11 Ta nes tumu gays nuni nu erazaysa yotoss, nu be7idaysa markatos gido attin inte nu markateth ekekketta.
“I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know and give evidence regarding what we have seen, but you refuse to accept our testimony.
12 Ta intess hayssa ha biitta yo yotin amanonta ixikko sallo miish yotikko wosti inte wosti ammanane?
If you don't trust what I say when I tell you about earthly things, how would you ever trust what I say if I were to tell you about heavenly things?
13 Saloppe dugge wopdhia asa naape attin pude saloo keziday haray onikka denna.
No one has gone up to heaven, but the Son of man came down from heaven.
14 Bazoo biittan Musey shoshu dhoqqu histi kaqqidaysatho heesathokka asa nayy dhoqqan kaqistanas beses.
Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the Son of man must be lifted up,
that everyone who trusts in him will have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Xoossa na ammanizay wuri medhina deyo demanappe attin dhayonta mala Xoossi hayssa alameza daro siqida gish ba mixi issi na immides. (aiōnios g166)
For God loved the world, and this is how: he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who trusts in him shouldn't die, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Xoassay ba naza ha dugge alame kittday alame asay izan amanidi atinn izi alamme asa bolla firdanas gidena.
God didn't send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
18 Iza amanizade bola pirdetena, iza amanonntadey gdikko Xoossa na isinezan amanonta gish benipekka pirdeti utides.
Those who trust in him are not condemned, while those who don't trust in him are condemned already because they didn't trust in the one and only Son of God.
19 Pirdayyka hysamala po77oy ha alame yides shin asas oothoy iitta gdidagish asay po7oppe daro dumma doosides.
This is how the decision is made: the light came to the world, but people loved the darkness rather than the light, for their actions were evil.
20 Iita o7htzadeye wurikka poo7 dosena. izi o7thazza ita o7thooy pooncci kkazontamala izi ba huees poo77y dzzasa kezena.
All those who do evil hate the light and don't come into the light, because they don't want their actions to be exposed.
21 Tuumu o7thzadey gdiiko po77y dizasa yees. izi po77y dizzasa yeza gasoy Xoossa azazzomalla izi o7thdda o7thooy qonncana maalla.”
But those who do good come into the light, so that what God accomplishes in them can be revealed.”
22 Hessafe kallidi Yesussy bena kallizaytara Yhuudaa dere bedess. heniikka Asaa xxamaqqshe istarra guusa woode gmmidess.
After this Jesus and his disciples went into Judea and spent some time with the people, baptizing them.
23 Hee wode salleme achaan Henoone gistattzasann daroo haathia dizza gsaa Yaansay asa xaamakchhn asayyka izzko biidi xmaqettdess.
John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water there and people kept coming to be baptized.
24 Hesa woode Yannsaay buro qaacho kketha gelii beyyna.
(This was before John was imprisoned.)
25 Hee wode Yaansassne isi isi ayyhudea asat. garrsane Ayyhudata gessa wooga gesii gtta polamaay denndidess.
An argument developed between John's disciples and a Jew over ceremonial purification.
26 Yannssa kallisayta izakoo shiqqdie “asstamare nenara Yorrdanose shaafa pinnthane neenrra issifa dishhn ne iza gess marrkatoo adezikaa heko xaamaqess asaayka izika bess gdda.”
They went to John and told him, “Rabbi, the man you were with on the other side of the Jordan River, the one you testified in support of—see, now he's baptizing, and everyone is going to him!”
27 Yannsaayka isstas hzzgdess. “o7nnsika Xoossafe imetonta dishnn ayykoykka dana dandaeena.
“No one receives anything unless they're given it from heaven,” John replied.
28 (Tani izafe snthataa kitadiis atin yana Krrstossay tana gdikke) gada ta intees yotooysas inte inte huerra taa marrkataa.
“You yourselves can testify that I declared, ‘I'm not the Messiah. I've been sent to prepare his way.’
29 Machii msshray dzadey izika msshra msshra lageey gdikko msshraza achaan ekkdi Msshrazzi gzazz siyees. msshrraza xxalla siiydi ufaeetess hessa gssha ta uhaaththaaysi hii polltdess.
The bridegroom is the one who has the bride! The best man waits, listening for the bridegroom, and is so happy when he hears the bridegroom's voice—in the same way my happiness is now complete.
30 Izi xooqu xooqu ganamala taaka zqqi ganamalla koshees.
He must become more important, and I must become less important.”
31 Puudape yezadey wursofe boola. garrsa biitafe gedidaay izi bitazanne biitaaz yootees (hasaees) saloope yesadeey izi wursofe bola.
He who comes from above is greater than all; he who comes from the earth belongs to the earth and talks about earthly things. He who comes from heaven is greater than all.
32 Izi ba beeydazine ba siiydazz markariis gdoo atiin zia marrsatiths ekkzadeey deena.
He gives evidence about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts what he has to say.
33 Iza marrkethe ekkzadeey gddko Xoossa tumanncha gdidaaysa qonncsees (besees)
Yet anyone who accepts what he says confirms that God is truthful.
34 Xoossa kittdadeey Xoossa Qalla yotiss Xssika izades ba ayana kunnthie imess.
For the one God sent speaks God's words, because God doesn't restrict the Spirit.
35 Awaay ba na dosees haanizza yoo wurrsi iza kuseen yeegdees.
The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
36 Nazaan amanizades medaana deyooy dees. nazaan aamanontaay gediiko Xoossa hankooy iza bola dees attin deyoo demena.” (aiōnios g166)
Anyone who trusts in the Son has eternal life, but anyone who refuses to trust the Son will not experience eternal life but remains under God's condemnation. (aiōnios g166)
