John 3
1 Oasr sie mwet kol lun mwet Jew pangpang Nicodemus, su ma in u lun mwet Pharisee.
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewish people.
2 Sie fong ah el som nu yurin Jesus ac fahk nu sel, “Rabbi, kut etu lah kom sie mwet luti supweyukme sin God. Wangin sie mwet ku in oru mwenmen ma kom oru God El fin tia welul.”
This man came to him at 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 Jesus el fahk, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu sum: sie mwet el fin tia sifil isusla, el koflana liye Tokosrai lun God.”
Yeshua answered him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
4 Na Nicodemus el siyuk sel, “Sie mwet matu ac sifilpa osweyukla fuka? Mea, el ku in sifil ilyak nu insien nina kial ac isusla pacl se akluo?”
Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
5 Jesus el topuk, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu sum: sie mwet el fin tia isusla ke kof ac Ngun, el koflana ilyak nu in Tokosrai lun God.
Yeshua answered, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born of water and Ruach he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
6 Mwet su isusla ke ikwa, ma lun ikwa; a mwet su isusla ke Ngun, ma lun ngun.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Ruach is spirit.
7 Nik kom lut mweyen nga fahk lah kowos nukewa enenu in sifilpa isusla.
Do not be surprised that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
8 Eng uh tuh nu yen el lungse. Kom lohng kusa, a kom tia etu yen el tuku we me, ku yen el ac som nu we. Ac oapana inge elos nukewa su isusla ke Ngun.”
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 Ruach."
9 Nicodemus el siyuk, “Mea, ku in ouingan?”
Nicodemus answered and said to him, "How can these things be?"
10 Jesus el topuk, “Kom sie mwet luti fulat in Israel, ya pwaye kom tia etu ma se inge?
Yeshua answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
11 Nga fahk na pwaye nu sum: kut kaskas ke ma kut etu, ac fahkak ma kut liye uh. Ne ouinge, wangin sie suwos lulalfongi ma kut fahk uh.
Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, but you do not accept our testimony.
12 Kowos tia lulalfongiyu ke nga fahk nu suwos ke ma lun faclu, na kowos ac lulalfongiyu fuka nga fin kaskas ke ma nu inkusrao?
If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13 Soenna oasr sie mwet na sowak nu inkusrao sayen Wen nutin Mwet, su oatui inkusrao me.”
And no one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
14 Oana ke Moses el tuh srupusrak serpent bronze soko fin sak soko in acn mwesis ah, in ouiya sacna Wen nutin Mwet el fah sripsripyak,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
15 tuh elos nukewa su lulalfongi in el elos fah ku in ilyak nu ke sie moul sasu wangin saflaiya. (aiōnios g166)
so that everyone who believes in him may have life without end. (aiōnios g166)
16 Tuh God El lungse faclu ouinge: El ase Wen sefanna natul, tuh elos nukewa su lulalfongi in el fah tia misa, a elos fah eis moul ma pahtpat. (aiōnios g166)
For this is how God loved the world: he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have life without end. (aiōnios g166)
17 Tuh God El tia supwama Wen natul in tuh nununku faclu, a tuh faclu in eis moul kacl.
For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
18 Kutena mwet su lulalfongi in Wen el tia nununkeyuk; tusruktu kutena mwet su tia lulalfongi, el nununkeyuk tari, mweyen el tia lulalfongi in Wen sefanna nutin God.
The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
19 Pa inge luman nununku sac: kalem tuku tari nu faclu, a mwet uh elos lungse lohsr yohk liki kalem sac, mweyen orekma lalos uh koluk.
This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their works were evil.
20 Kutena mwet su oru ma koluk el srunga kalem, ac el fah tia tuku nu ke kalem, mweyen el tia lungse orekma koluk lal in liyeyuk.
For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works will not be exposed.
21 A kutena mwet su oru ma pwaye el tuku nu ke kalem, tuh in kalem lah ma el oru el oru in akos God.
But the one who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
22 Tukun ma inge, Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos som nu in acn Judea, ac el muta yorolos we ke kutu pacl, ac el baptaisi mwet.
After these things, Yeshua came with his talmidim into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them, and was immersing.
23 John el oayapa oru baptais lal in acn Aenon apkuran nu Salim, mweyen yohk kof in acn sac. Mwet uh fahsrel ac el baptaiselos.
Now John also was immersing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came, and were immersed.
24 (Ma inge ma meet liki John el kapiri in presin.)
For John was not yet thrown into prison.
25 Kutu sin mwet lutlut lal John mutawauk in akukuin yurin sie mwet Jew ke ouiyen aknasnas ke alu lun mwet Jew.
Now a dispute arose between John's talmidim with a Jew about purification.
26 Ke ma inge elos som nu yorol John ac fahk nu sel, “Mwet Luti, kom esam mwet se ma tuh wi kom layen kutulap ke infacl Jordan, mwet se ma kom tuh fahkak kac ah? Inge el wi pac orek baptais, ac mwet uh rirla nu yorol!”
And they came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, look, he is immersing, and everyone is coming to him."
27 John el topuk, “Wangin ma ku in sikyak nu sin sie mwet, fin tia ma sin God me.
John answered, "No one can receive anything, unless it has been given to him from heaven.
28 Kowos sifacna mwet loh luk ke nga tuh fahk, ‘Tia nga pa Christ, a supweyukme nga meet lukel.’
You yourselves bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Messiah,' but, 'I have been sent before him.'
29 In pacl in marut, mukul se ma marut uh ac ma kial pa mutan sac. Tusruktu mwet kawuk se lun mukul sac el engankin lah el tu siskal ac lohng pusren mukul marut sac. Ouinge engan luk uh oapana engan lun mukul se ma kawuk lun mukul marut sacn.
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. So this joy of mine is now complete.
30 Ac fah puseni mwet fahsr tukun Jesus, ac mwet luk uh ac fah pueni.”
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 El su tuku lucng me el fulat liki nukewa. El su ma faclu me el ma lun faclu ac el kaskas ke ma lun faclu, a el su tuku inkusrao me el fulat liki nukewa.
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 El fahkak ke ma el liye ac lohng tari, a wangin mwet lulalfongi ma el fahk uh.
What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
33 Kutena mwet su lulalfongi ma el fahk, el akkalemye lah el lulalfongi lah ma God El fahk uh ma pwaye.
He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
34 El su God El supwama el fahk kas lun God, mweyen God El sang nufon Ngun lal nu sel.
For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for he does not give the Ruach by measure.
35 Papa El lungse Wen natul, ac El sang elan ku fin ma nukewa.
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
36 Kutena mwet su lulalfongi ke Wen oasr moul ma pahtpat lal. Kutena mwet su seakos Wen fah wangin moul lal, a el ac fah mutana ye kaiyuk lun God. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever believes in the Son has everlasting life, but whoever refuses to believe in the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him." (aiōnios g166)
