uYohana 3
1 Uugwa ai ukoli nu Afarisayo nai iza ilina nilakwe Nikodemo, ung'wi nua anyampala ni i anza nila Ayahudi.
Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 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.”
The same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 uYesu akamusukiilya, “Huiila huiila, shsnga uhumile u muntu kingila mu utemi nuang'wa Itunda anga wahite kutugwa nkua a kabiili.”
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 uNikodemo akaligitya, “Umuntu uhumile uli kutugwa aze mnyampala? Shanga uhumile kingila munda ang'wa nyinya nuakwe nkua a kabiili nu kutugwa, itii uhuile uli?”
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 uYesu akasukiilya, “Huiila huiila muntu anga wahite kutugwa ku mazi nu ku Ng'wau Ng'welu, shanga uhumile kingila mu utemi nuang'wa Itunda.
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Ni kitugilwe ku muili inge muili, hangi nikitugilwe ku nkolo inge nkolo.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Leka ku kuilwa kunsoko aza nakuilaa, inge kusinja kutugwa nkua aka biili.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.
8 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.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 uNikodemo akasukiilya, ku kuligitya, “Makani aya ahumikile uli?”
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 uYesu akasukiilya, “u ewe wi ng'walimu nua Israeli shanga ulingile ga ni makani aya?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?
11 Huiila, huiila, nu kuuila, iko ni kukilingile kuuki kuiila ku iko ni kuki hengile. kuiti shanga mukusingiilya u ukuili nu itu.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and bear witness of that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 Anga ize namuilaa imakani aya apa mihi shanga mu huiie, muhumile uli kuhuiila anga numuile imakani na kilunde?
If I told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you heavenly things?
13 Ndogoelyo kutili nai unankie migulya kupuma kilunde kwaala ng'wenso nai usimile, uNg'wana wang'wa Adamu.
And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, which is in heaven.
14 Anga uu uMusa nai umiyansue inzoka mi bambazi, u uu uNg'wa nu ang'wa Adamu kusinja wanyansulwe,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 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)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Ku nsoko Itunda shanga ai umulagiiye ung'wana nu akwe mihi iti aulamule u unkumbigulu, ila kina u unkumbigulu ugunike mung'wa akwe.
For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.
18 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.
He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 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.
And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
20 Kila muntu nuitumaa u ubii wibipilwaa u welu ni iti shanga uzile mu welu iti kina intendo niakwe ileke kuikwa ng'walyi.
For every one that doeth ill hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.
21 Kuiti, nuanso nuitumaa i tai wizaa mu welu iti intendo niakwe igeeleke kina yitumilwe ku ikulyo ni lang'wa Itunda.
But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.
22 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.
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 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,
And John also was baptizing in AEnon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 ku nsoko uYohana ai watulaa wakili kugung'wa mu kadulumu.
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Uugwa ai ipumie wikungumi mu amanyisigwa ang'wa Yohana ni Ayahudi kutula siku kuu nia weligwa.
There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying.
26 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.”
And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 uYohana akasukiilya umuntu shanga uhumile kusingiilya kintu kihi kwaala anga ize winkiiigwe kupuma kilunde.
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.
28 uNyenye akola mikuiila kina aindigitilye kina, 'unene shanga ni kilisto; badala akwe ai ndigitilye, 'ndagiigwe ntongeela akwe.'
Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.
29 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.
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 Utakiwe kukilinkiila nu nene ntakiwe kukepa.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 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.
He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaketh: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 Nuanso wikuiila ayo nuihengile nu kigiilya, kuiti kutili nuisingiilya u ukuiili nu akwe.
What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness.
33 Nuanso nai usingiiye u ukuiili nuakwe ukomaniigwe kina Itunda ingi watai.
He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to [this], that God is true.
34 Ku nsoko nuanso nai ulagiingwe ni Itunda wiligitya makani ang'wa Itunda. Ku nsoko shanga wiminkiilya uNg'wau ng'welu nua ngele.
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
35 uTata wimulowaa ung'wana hangi uminkiiye i intu yihi mu mikono akwe.
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 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)
He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
