< Joni 3 >

1 Hagi Farisi vahepinti mago nera agi'a Nikodimasi, Jiu vahe'mokizmi mono kanisol ne' mani'ne.
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 E'i ana ne'mo'a kenage hanimpi Jisasinte eno amanage huno antahige'ne. Rempi hurami ne'moka antahi'none, Kagrama hurami ne' Anumzamofontegati e'nane. Mago'mo'a Kagrama nehanaza huno amanahu avame zana osugahie, Anumzamo agrane mani'nesimo hugahie.
He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”
3 Higeno Jisasi'a kenona'a amanage huno asami'ne, Tamagerafa hu'na ama kea negasamue. Runema kasefa osnimo'a, Anumzamofo kumapina uofregahie,
Jesus answered him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see God’s Kingdom.”
4 Nikodimasi'a kenona'a huno, inankna huno ra vahe'mo'a ete osi mofavregna huno fore hugahie? Ete ra vahe'mo'a anta'amofo arimpafina ufrenkeno eteno kasentegahifi?
Nicodemus said to 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 Higeno Jisasi'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Tamagerafa hu'na kagrira negasamue. Aza'o tinteti'ene Avamuteti'ene kasefa osnimo'a, Anumzamofo kumapina uofregahie,
Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter into God’s Kingdom.
6 Mopafi vahe'mo'ma kasente'nesiana vahere. Hanki Ruotge Avamu'mo'ma eri fore hu'nesia zana avamure.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Amama kasamisua zankura Nagriku hie hunka kmanogura osunka, kagra etenka kasefa mofavre hampro,
Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’
8 Zahomo'a inantega vunaku hirega nevigenka agasasa'a nentahine. Hagi inantegati eteno, inantega nevio antahinka kenka nosane. E'ina hu'za mika vahe'mo'za Avamupina kasefara nehaze.
The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Higeno Nikodimasi'a ana zanku, amanahu zamo'a inankna hugahie? huno higeno,
Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”
10 Jisasi'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage huno hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mokizmi rempi huzami ne' mani'nenka, ama nanekea antahi amara nosano?
Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
11 Tamagerfa hu'na negasamue. Kema nehunana, antahita keta hu'nona zanku huama nehunketa, ana nanekegura tamagra antahinoramize.
Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you do not receive our witness.
12 Mopafi zanku'ma neramasamisunketa tamagrama tamentintima osanuta inankna huta monafi zanku'ma tamasami'sunana tamentintia hugahaze?
If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13 Mago'mo'a monafinka mrerino ovu'ne. Hagi Agra monafinkati'ma erami'neana, Vahe'mofo Mofavremo erami'ne.
No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
14 Mosesema hagage kokampi osifa'vema erintesga hu'nea kna hu'za, Vahe'mofo Mofavrea azeri antesga hugahaze.
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
15 Hanigeno aza'o, Agripi amentinti hanimo'a, manivava asimu erigahie. (aiōnios g166)
that whoever believes in him may have consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
16 Anumzamo tusiza huno mopafi vaheku avesi nezmanteno, magoke ante'nea Ne'mofavre'a zami'ne. Agrite zamentinti hanamo'za fanane osu'za manivava zamasimu erigahaze. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
17 Na'ankure Anumzamo Mofavre'a huntegeno ama mopafima e'neana, mopafi vahe refko hinogu huntegeno ome'ne. Hagi Agripinkati vahe'mo'za zamagu'vazizana erisaze huno huntegeno erami'ne.
For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
18 Aza'o Agrite'ma amentintima himofona refko huno nanekea hunonte, iza'o Agrite'ma amentintima nosimofona, trate ko avrenteno keaga hunte'ne. Na'ankure Anumzamofona magoke Mofavre'amofo agirera, agra amentinti osigu ana nehie.
He who believes in him is not judged. He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
19 Nanekema huzmante'siana, ama kemofo agafare huzmantegahie. Masamo'a ama mopafima efregeno'a, vahe'mo'za hani avu'ava'zanku avesinente'za masamofona avesi onte'naze. Na'ankure havi zamu'zamake'za hu'naze.
This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.
20 Aza'o havizama nehia vahe'mo'a, tavi'mofona zamesra hunente'za, masarera nomaze. Na'ankure haviza nehazazamo eama huzanku nomaze.
For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
21 Hu'neanagi aza'o tamage avu'ava'ma nehimo'a tavitera egahie. Na'ankure hakaremo'za nege'za Anumzamofo avenesiaza nehie hu'za hugahaze.
But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
22 Hagi ananteti Jisasi'a amagenentaza disaipol naga'ane, Judia kaziga vu'za mago'a kna umani'ne'za mono tina fre zamante'naze.
After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.
23 E'i ana knafi Joni'a, Salim kumamofo tava'onte Ainoni kumate mono tina frezmante'ne. Na'ankure anantega rama'a tina me'nege'za vahe'mo'za ete'vute hu'za mono tina fre'naze.
John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were baptized;
24 Na'ankure Jonina kina huonte'naza knafine.
for John was not yet thrown into prison.
25 Ana nehazage'za Jonima amage nentaza disaipol naga'ane, mago Jiu ne'ene, Juda vahe'mokizmi avu'avapi ti fre'za avu sese nehaza zanku keaga hu'naze.
Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.
26 Nehu'za Joninte e'za amanage hu'za asmi'naze. Hurami (Rabbai) ne'moke, Jodani timofo kantu kaziga kagrane mani'neama, Agri agi hu'ama hu'nana ne'mo'a, mono ti frenezmantege'za mika vahe'mo'za Agrite nevaze.
They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”
27 Hazageno Joni'a anage hu'ne, mago vahe'mo'a, Mago zana e'origahie, ana hugahianagi monafinkati mago'zama amisigeno'a amne erigahie.
John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.
28 Tamagratmi antahi'nage'na amanahu kea hu'noe, Nagra Kraisi'na omani'noe hu'na hu'noe. Hianagi Agrira azeri henka atreno, nagrira pusante hunantege'na e'noe.
You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’
29 Mago vemo'ma a'ma erinaku nehigeno rone'amo oti'neno antahi nemino, aravema huku hia vahe'mofo ageru nentahino muse nehie. E'ina higu nagrira muse zamo'a avite'ne.
He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore my joy is made full.
30 Agri agimo marerisigeno nagri nagimo uramisie.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 Agra anagamiti e'nemo'a maka'zana agatere'ne, aza'o ama mopafinti'ma e'nesimo'a, ama mopafi vahekino, ama mopafi zankuke kea hugahie. Agra aza'o monafinkati'ma e'nemo'a, Agra maka'zamofona zamagtere'ne.
“He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
32 Agrama antahino keno hu'nea zante Agra naneke'a huama nehie, hianagi mago'mo'e huno agi agenke'a antahi anira osu'ne.
What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
33 Iza'o, Agri agi agenke'a erimo'a, tamage huno Anumzamofo nanekegura nehie.
He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
34 Na'ankure Agrira Anumzamo huntege'no e'neankino, Anumzamofo keaga nehie. Na'ankure Agra refko osuga'are Avamura aviteno ami'ne.
For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.
35 Nefa'a, Nemofona avesinteno mika'zana kva hugahie huno, Agri azampi ante'ne.
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
36 Aza'o Nemofonte amentintima hanimo'a manivava asimura erigahie. Hagi iza'o Nemofo kema rutagresimo'a manivava asimura e'origahie. Hanki Anumzamofo tusi'a rimpahe knazamo agrite megahie. (aiōnios g166)
One who believes in the Son has consummate (aiōnios g166) life, but one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
