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, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler among 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.”
who came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for none can do these miracles which thou dost, unless 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 tell thee, Unless a man be born again, 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, I tell thee of a truth, Unless a man be born of water and of 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.
Do not wonder that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
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.
As the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound of it, but knowest not whence it cometh, or 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 a teacher of Israel and knowest 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.
I assure thee, that we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; though ye receive not our testimony.
12 Anga ize namuilaa imakani aya apa mihi shanga mu huiie, muhumile uli kuhuiila anga numuile imakani na kilunde?
If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I should tell you heavenly ones?
13 Ndogoelyo kutili nai unankie migulya kupuma kilunde kwaala ng'wenso nai usimile, uNg'wana wang'wa Adamu.
For no one hath ascended up into heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who 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, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
that whosoever believeth on Him may not perish, but 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 might not perish, but have everlasting 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 his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved by 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 condemned: but he that believeth not, is already condemned; 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 condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds 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 doth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, least his deeds 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 acts according to truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are 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 Judea: and He stayed with them there, 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 Enon near Salim; because there was much water there: and people came to him 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.
Now there arose a dispute between some of the disciples of John, and the Jews, 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 to John, and said unto him, Rabbi, He that was with thee on the other side Jordan, to whom thou barest testimony, behold, He baptizeth and all the people 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 take nothing upon him, unless it be given him from heaven.
28 uNyenye akola mikuiila kina aindigitilye kina, 'unene shanga ni kilisto; badala akwe ai ndigitilye, 'ndagiigwe ntongeela akwe.'
Ye your selves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but 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, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with great joy at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore my joy is complete.
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 earthly, and talketh like one of the earth:
32 Nuanso wikuiila ayo nuihengile nu kigiilya, kuiti kutili nuisingiilya u ukuiili nu akwe.
but He that cometh from heaven, is above all: and what He hath seen and heard, this He testifieth: and yet scarce any one receiveth his testimony.
33 Nuanso nai usingiiye u ukuiili nuakwe ukomaniigwe kina Itunda ingi watai.
He that hath received his testimony, 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 God giveth the Spirit to Him not by measure.
35 uTata wimulowaa ung'wana hangi uminkiiye i intu yihi mu mikono akwe.
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all 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)
wherefore he that believeth on the Son, hath eternal life; and he that obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
