Yoana 3
1 Mbe aliga alio Farisayo unu lisina lyaye Nikodemo, oumwi.
And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 Omunu unu amulubhile Esebhugenyi mungeta namubwila ati, “Ribi, chimenyele kubha uli mutangasha osokele ku Nyamuanga, Kulwejo atalio omunu unu katula okutula ebhibhalikisho bhinu vyona Nyamuanga akalema okubha amwi nage.”
This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.
3 Yesu nasubya ati, “Nichimali, chimali, omunu atakutula okwingila mu bhukama bwa Nyamuanga atebhuwe kwiya kabhili.”
Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nikodemo naika ati,” Omunu katula kutiki okwibhulwa alabha mukaluka? atakutula kwingila munda ya nyilamwene olwa kabhili nebhulwa mbe katula?”
Nicodemus saith 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 again?
5 Yesu nasubya ati, “Nichimali, chimali omunu akalema okwibhulwa kwa manji na kwa Mwoyo, atakutula kwingila mubhukama bwa Nyamuanga.
Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Chinu chibhuwe kwo mubhili no mubhili, na chinu chibhuliwe kwo Mwoyo ni mwoyo.
That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 Usigekulugula kwo kubha nakubwiliye, nibhusi husi okwibhulwa kabhili.'
Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.
8 Omuyanga oguyemba wona wona eyo ogwenda no bhulaka bwae omubhugwa, nawe mutakumenya eyo ogusoka neyo oguja. Nikwo kutyo jili bhuli unu ebhuwe no mwoyo.
The Spirit breatheth where he will; and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nikodemo nasubya ati, kwo kwaika, “Emisango jinu ejikolekana kutiki?”
Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?
10 Yesu nasubya ati, “Awe ni mwiigisha wa Israeli, nolwo otakumenya emisango jinu?
Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Nichimali, chimali nakubwila ati, chiliya echoechimenya chachibhambaliye ku chiliya echoechilola. Mbe mutakulamila obhubhambasi bweswe.
Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony.
12 Alabha nabhabwila emisango ja kuchalo namutakwikilisha, omutula kutiki okwikilisha alabha nabhabwila emisango mulwile?
If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?
13 Mbe atalio unu alinyile ingulu okusoka mulwile tali unu ekile, Omwana wo munu.
And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
14 Kulwejo Musa ayanikile injoka ibhala, kutyo kutyo Omwana wo munu bhusibhusi ayanikwe,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
16 Kwo kubha nikwo kutyo Nyamuanga achendele echalo ati namusosha Omwana wae umwila, Koleleki bhuli munu wona wona amwikilishe ataja kubhula nawe abhe no bhuanga bwa kajanende. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
17 Kwo kubha Nyamuanga atamukutula Omwana wae achilamulile echalo chikilbwe kumwene.
For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
18 Unu kamwikilisha atakulamulwa. Unu atakelisishe alamuwe kwo kubha atalikilisishe lisina lwo Mwana umwila was Nyamuanga.
He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Inu niyo injuno yo kulamula, ati obwelu bwijile muchalo, nawe bhanya bhanu nibhenda echisute okukila obwelu kwo kubha ebhikolwa byabho byalinga bhibhibhi.
And this is the judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.
20 Bhuli munu Unu kakola bhubhibhi kabhiililwa obwelu nolwo atakuja mubwelu Koleleki ebhikolwa byae byasiga okutulwa abwelu.
For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
21 Nawe, unu kakola echimali kaja mubwelu koleleki ebhikolwa byae bhibhokane ati byakolelwe kwa likusho lya Nyamuanga.
But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.
22 Wejile ejo jawa, Yesu amwi na bheigisibwa mbagenda mu chalo cha Yudea. Eyo agegele omwanya amwi nabho aliga nabhatija.
After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
23 Woli Yohana on aliga nabhatija eyo Ainea yei na Salim kwo kubha galiga galio na manji mafu aliya. Abhanu bhaliga nibhaja kumwene nabhabhatija,
And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
24 Kwo kubha Yohana aliga achali okweswa mwibhoyelo.
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Mbe mbabhambashanya abheigisibwa bha Yohana no Muyaudi ku malya gwo kwiyesha.
And there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews concerning purification:
26 Nibhagenda ku Yohana nibhamubwila ati, “Rabi, unu waliga nage kungego yo mugela gwa Yorodani, unu abhambaliye emisango jaye, lola, nabhatija na bhona abhagenda abhamujako.”
And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 Yohana nabhasubya ati omunu atakutula kulamila chinu chona chona tali aguyanibwe okusoka mu lwile.
John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
28 Emwe abhene mwabhambalila kubha naika ati, 'anye nitali Kristo', nawe naikile ati, 'natumilwe imbele yae.'
You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 Unu ali no mwenga ni mutwasi. Woli omusani wo mutwasi, nemelegulu namungwa ka alikondelwa muno kwo kubha lilaka lyae omutwasi. Inu woli ni kondelelwa lyani likumiye.
He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 Kumwiile okukula, anye kunyiile okukeya.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 Unu kasoka inguli Ali ingulu ya bhona unu we chalo kasoka muchalo na kaika emisango ja ku chalo. Unu kasoka mulwile niwe katunga byona. Unu kabhambalila galiya ago alolele
He that cometh from above, is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from heaven, is above all.
32 nokugongwa, nawe atalio unu alamiye obhubhambasi bwae.
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 Unu alamiye obhubhambasi bwae katao echibhalikisho kubha Nyamuanga ni we chimali.
He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 Kwo kubha unu atumilwe na Nyamuanga kaika emisango ja Nyamuanga. Okubha atakumuyana omwoyo kwo kulenga.
For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
35 Lata kamwenda Omwana na muyaye bhinu bhyona mumabhoko gaye.
The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.
36 Unu amwikilisishe Omwana anabyo obhuanga bwa kajanende, nawe ku unu atakumwikilisha Omwana atalibhubhona bhuanga, nawe lisungu lya Nyamuanga limuliko inguluyae. (aiōnios g166)
He that believeth in the Son, hath life everlasting; but he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
