1 O nwere otu nwoke onyeisi ndị Juu nke so nʼotu ndị Farisii aha ya bụ Nikọdimọs.
There was now a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus name to him, a ruler of the Jews.
2 Ọ bịakwutere ya nʼabalị sị ya, “Onye ozizi, anyị maara na ị bụ onye ozizi sitere na Chineke, nʼihi na o nweghị onye ọbụla pụrụ ịrụ ọrụ ebube dị otu a ma ọ bụrụ na Chineke anọnyereghị ya.”
He came to (*k*) (Him *N(K)O*) by night and said to Him; Rabbi, we know that from God You have come a teacher; no [one] for is able these signs to do that You yourself do, only unless shall be God with him.
3 Jisọs zara sị ya, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, ọ bụrụ na amụghị mmadụ ọzọ, ọ pụghị ịhụ alaeze Chineke anya.”
Answered (*k*) Jesus and said to him; Amen Amen I say to you; only unless someone shall be born from above, not he is able to see the kingdom of God.
4 Nikọdimọs sịrị ya, “Olee otu a ga-esi mụgharịa mmadụ mgbe o mere okenye? Ọ ga-aba nʼafọ nne ya nke ugboro abụọ?”
Says to Him Nicodemus; How is able a man to be born old being? Not is he able into the womb of the mother of him a second time to enter and to be born?
5 Ma Jisọs sịrị, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, ọ bụrụ na amụghị mmadụ site na mmiri na Mmụọ Nsọ, o nweghị ike ịba nʼalaeze Chineke.
Answered (*ko*) Jesus; Amen Amen I say to you, only unless someone shall be born of water and of [the] Spirit, not he is able to enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Ihe e si nʼanụ ahụ mụọ bụ anụ ahụ, ma ihe a mụrụ site na Mmụọ bụ mmụọ.
That born of the flesh flesh is, and that born of the Spirit spirit is.
7 Ya ejula gị anya na m sịrị gị, ‘Agaghị ịmụ unu ọzọ.’
Not may do wonder that I said to you; It is necessary for you [all] to be born from above.
8 Ifufe na-efe nʼebe ọbụla masịrị ya. I nwere ike nụ ụzụ ya ma ịmataghị ebe o si abịa maọbụ ebe ọ na-aga. Otu a ka ọ dịkwara onye ọbụla a mụrụ site na Mmụọ.”
The wind where it wishes blows, and the sound of it You hear but not you know from where it comes and where it goes; thus is everyone who born of the Spirit.
9 Nikọdimọs zara sị ya, “Olee otu ihe ndị a ga-esi mee?”
Answered Nicodemus and said to Him; How are able these things to be?
10 Jisọs zara sị ya, “Ị bụ onye ozizi ndị Izrel, ma ị ghọtaghị ihe ndị a?
Answered (*k*) Jesus and said to him; You yourself are the teacher of Israel and these things not know?
11 Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu. Anyị na-ekwu banyere ihe anyị maara, na-akọwapụtakwa ihe anyị hụrụ, ma unu onwe unu adịghị anabata akaebe anyị.
Amen Amen I say to you that what we know we speak and what we have seen we bear witness to, and the witness of us not you people receive.
12 Ekwuola m banyere ihe dị nʼụwa ma unu ekweghị ya, oleekwanụ otu unu ga-esi kwere, ma ọ bụrụ na mụ agwa unu banyere ihe ndị dị nʼeluigwe?
If the [things] earthly I have told you and not you believe, how if I may tell to you the [things] heavenly will you believe?
13 O nwebeghị onye ọbụla rigooro nʼeluigwe ewezuga Nwa nke Mmadụ bụ onye siri nʼeluigwe rịdata.
And no [one] has gone up into heaven only except the [One] out of heaven having come down, the Son of Man (who is being in heaven. *KO*)
14 Dị ka Mosis weliri agwọ elu nʼime ọzara, otu a ka a ga-ewelikwa Nwa nke Mmadụ elu.
And even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus to be lifted up it behooves the Son of Man,
so that everyone who is believing (in Him *N(k)O*) (not may perish but *K*) may have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
16 Nʼihi na Chineke hụrụ ụwa nʼanya, nke a mere o jiri nye Ọkpara ọ mụrụ naanị ya, ka onye ọbụla kweere na ya ghara ịla nʼiyi, kama ka o nwee ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
Thus for loved God the world, that the Son (of him *ko*) the only begotten He gave, so that everyone who is believing in Him not may perish but may have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 Nʼihi na Chineke eziteghị Ọkpara ya nʼụwa ka o maa ụwa ikpe, kama ka e site nʼaka ya zọpụta ụwa.
Not for sent God the Son (of Him *ko*) into the world that He may judge the world, but that may be saved the world through Him.
18 Ikpe amaghị onye ọbụla kwere na ya, ma onye ọbụla na-ekweghị aghọọlarị onye ikpe mara, nʼihi na o kweghị nʼaha Ọkpara Chineke mụrụ naanị ya.
The [one] believing on Him not is judged; the [one] but not believing already has been judged because not he has believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Nke a bụ mkpebi ikpe ahụ; na Ìhè abịala nʼụwa, ma ụmụ mmadụ hụrụ ọchịchịrị nʼanya kama ìhè ahụ, nʼihi na ọrụ ha jọrọ njọ.
This now is the judgement that the Light has come into the world, and loved men rather the darkness than the Light; were for of them evil the deeds.
20 Nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-eme ihe ọjọọ kpọrọ ìhè ahụ asị, ọ dịghị abịakwute ìhè ahụ, ka a ghara ime ka ọrụ ya pụta ìhè.
Everyone for evil practicing hates the Light and not comes to the Light so that not may be exposed the works of him;
21 Ma ndị na-ebi ndụ nʼeziokwu na-abịakwute ìhè ahụ, ka e nwee ike hụta ya nke ọma, na ihe niile ha na-eme sitere na ike Chineke.
the [one] however practicing the truth comes to the Light that may be manifest his works that in God have been done.
22 Emesịa, Jisọs na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya banyere nʼime obodo Judịa, ebe ọ nọtụrụ nwa oge, meekwa baptizim.
After these things came Jesus and the disciples of Him into the Judean land, and there He was staying with them and was baptizing.
23 Nʼotu aka ahụ, Jọn nọkwa nʼọnụ mmiri Enọn dị nso na Salim na-eme baptizim nʼihi na mmiri buru ibu nʼebe ahụ, ndị mmadụ gakwara nʼihu na-abịakwute ya, ọ na-emekwa ha baptizim.
Was now also (*no*) John baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because waters many were there. and they were coming and were being baptized;
24 E tinyebeghị Jọn nʼụlọ mkpọrọ mgbe ahụ.
Not yet for were cast into the prison John.
25 Nʼoge a, ịrụrịta ụka malitere nʼetiti ndị na-eso ụzọ Jọn na otu onye Juu banyere mmemme ịdị ọcha.
Arose then a debate among the disciples of John with ([a certain] Jew *N(K)O*) about purification.
26 Ha bịakwutere Jọn sị ya, “Onye ozizi, onye ahụ ị gbara ama banyere ya nọ nʼofe Jọdan na-eme baptizim, mmadụ niile na-agakwukwara ya.”
And they came to John and said to him; Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you yourself have borne witness, behold He baptizes, and all are coming to Him.
27 Jọn zaghachiri sị, “Ihe mmadụ nwere ike ịnata bụ naanị ihe ahụ e nyere ya site nʼeluigwe.
Answered John and said; Nothing is able a man to receive (and not *N(k)O*) (one *no*) only unless it shall be given to him from heaven.
28 Unu onwe unu ga-agbara m akaebe na m sịrị, na abụghị m Kraịst ahụ, kama e zitere m ka m buru ụzọ bịa.
Yourselves you yourselves to me bear witness that I said (that: *n*) (I myself *o*) Not am I myself the Christ, but for sent I am before Him.
29 Nwanyị a na-alụ ọhụrụ bụ nke di ya. Enyi onye na-alụ nwunye ọhụrụ na-eche ma na-egekwa ntị ịnụ olu ya, ọṅụ na-ejupụtakwa ya obi mgbe ọ nụrụ olu onye ahụ na-alụ nwunye ọhụrụ. Ya mere, ọṅụ m e zuola oke ugbu a.
The [one] having the bride [the] bridegroom is. the now friend of the bridegroom, the [one] having stood and listening for him, with joy rejoices because of the voice of the bridegroom. This therefore the joy of mine has been fulfilled.
30 Ọ ghaghị ịdị elu, ma mụ onwe m aghaghị ịdịkwa ala.
Him it behooves to increase, me myself however to decrease.
31 “Onye ahụ si nʼelu bịa dị elu karịa ihe niile, onye ahụ si nʼụwa bụkwa nke ụwa ma na-ekwukwa okwu dị ka onye si nʼụwa. Onye ahụ si nʼeluigwe dị elu karịa ihe niile.
The [One] from above coming above all is. The [one] being from the earth from the earth is and from the earth speaks. The [One] from heaven coming above all is;
32 Ọ na-agba ama banyere ihe ọ hụrụ nakwa nke ọ nụrụ, ma o nweghị onye na-anabata ama ya.
(and *k*) What He has seen and heard, this He testifies, and the testimony of Him no [one] receives.
33 Onye ọbụla nabatara akaebe ya ji nke a mere akara, na Chineke bụ eziokwu.
The [one] having received His testimony has set his seal that God true is.
34 Nʼihi na onye Chineke zitere na-ekwu okwu Chineke. Nʼihi na ọ na-enye Mmụọ ya nʼuju.
He whom for sent God, the declarations of God speaks; not for by measure He gives (God *KO*) the Spirit.
35 Nna hụrụ Ọkpara ya nʼanya, o tinyekwala ihe niile nʼaka ya.
The Father loves the Son and all things has given into the hand of Him.
36 Onye ọbụla kwere nʼỌkpara ahụ nwere ndụ ebighị ebi, ma onye ọbụla jụrụ Ọkpara ahụ agaghị ahụ ndụ nʼihi na iwe Chineke ga-adịrị ya.” (aiōnios g166)
The [one] believing in the Son has life eternal; the [one] however not obeying the Son not will behold life, but the wrath of God abides on him. (aiōnios g166)
