Yokaana 3
1 Awo waaliwo omukulembeze w’Abayudaaya erinnya lye Nikodemo, Omufalisaayo,
Anadwo bi, ɔbarima bi a ɔyɛ Yudafoɔ mpanin no mu baako a wɔfrɛ no Nikodemo a ɔsane yɛ Farisini no,
2 n’ajja eri Yesu ekiro okwogera naye. N’amugamba nti, “Labbi, tumanyi nti oli muyigiriza eyava eri Katonda kubanga eby’amagero by’okola tewali ayinza kubikola okuggyako nga Katonda ali wamu naye.”
kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn, kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, yɛnim sɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔsomaa wo, ɛfiri sɛ, obiara ntumi nyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a woyɛ yi gye sɛ Onyankopɔn ka ne ho.”
3 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ddala ddala nkugamba nti, Omuntu bw’atazaalibwa mulundi gwakubiri tayinza kulaba bwakabaka bwa Katonda.”
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Merema woate aseɛ sɛ, sɛ wɔanwo wo foforɔ a, worentumi nkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu.”
4 Nikodemo n’amuddamu nti, “Omuntu ayinza atya okuzaalibwa bw’aba nga muntu mukulu? Ayinza okuyingira mu lubuto lwa nnyina omulundi ogwokubiri, n’azaalibwa?”
Nikodemo bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na me abasiriwa yi, bɛtumi akɔ me maame yam ama wɔawo me bio?”
5 Yesu kwe kumuddamu nti, “Ddala ddala nkugamba nti, Okuggyako ng’omuntu azaaliddwa amazzi n’Omwoyo tasobola kuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.
Yesu nso buaa no sɛ, “Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ wo, sɛ wɔamfiri nsuo ne Honhom mu anwo obi a, ɔrentumi nkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu.
6 Ekizaalibwa omubiri kiba mubiri, n’ekizaalibwa Omwoyo kiba mwoyo.
Deɛ wɔfiri onipa mu awo no no, yɛ ɔhonam, na deɛ wɔfiri Honhom mu awo no no, yɛ honhom.
7 Noolwekyo teweewuunya kubanga nkugambye nti kibagwanira okuzaalibwa omulundi ogwokubiri.
Mma ɛnnyɛ wo nwanwa sɛ maka sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwo wo foforɔ!
8 Empewo ekuntira gy’eyagala, n’owulira okuwuuma kwayo, naye tomanya gy’eva newaakubadde gyegenda; bw’atyo bw’abeera omuntu yenna azaalibwa Omwoyo.”
Sɛdeɛ wote mframa nka, nanso wontumi nkyerɛ faako a ɛfiri ba ne faako a ɛbɔ kɔ no, saa ara na Honhom mu awoɔ no nso te.”
9 Nikodemo n’amubuuza nti, “Ebyo biyinza bitya okubaawo?”
Nikodemo bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yei aba mu?”
10 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ggwe omuyigiriza wa Isirayiri, n’otomanya bintu bino?
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Wo, ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a wodi mu Israel na wonte yei ase?
11 Ddala ddala nkugamba nti twogera kye tumanyi, ne tutegeeza kye twalaba, so temukkiriza bujulirwa bwaffe.
Deɛ yɛnim ne deɛ yɛahunu na yɛreka akyerɛ mo yi, nanso monnye yɛn nni.
12 Naye obanga temukkiriza bwe mbabuulira eby’ensi, kale munaasobola mutya okukkiriza bwe nnaababuulira eby’omu ggulu?
Sɛ meka asase yi so nsɛm kyerɛ mo na monnye nni a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na sɛ meka ɔsoro nsɛm kyerɛ mo a, mobɛgye adi?
13 Kubanga tewali muntu eyali alinnye mu ggulu, okuggyako eyava mu ggulu, ye Mwana w’Omuntu.
Obiara nkɔɔ ɔsoro da, agye deɛ ɔfiri ɔsoro baeɛ no—Onipa Ba no.
14 Era nga Musa bwe yawanika omusota mu ddungu, bwe kityo n’Omwana w’Omuntu kimugwanira okuwanikibwa,
Sɛdeɛ Mose maa ɔwɔ sɛso a wɔde kɔbere ayɛ asɛn dua so wɔ ɛserɛ so no, saa ara na Onipa Ba no nso wɔbɛma no so,
na obiara a ɔgye me di no, ɔbɛnya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. (aiōnios g166)
16 “Kubanga Katonda bwe yayagala ensi, bw’atyo n’awaayo Omwana we omu yekka, buli muntu yenna amukkiriza aleme kuzikirira, wabula afune obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
“Na sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn dɔɔ ewiase nie; sɛ ɔde ne Ba a ɔwoo no korɔ no maeɛ, na obiara a ɔgye no di no anyera, na mmom wanya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. (aiōnios g166)
17 Kubanga Katonda teyatuma Mwana we mu nsi kugisalira musango, wabula ensi erokolebwe okuyita mu ye.
Onyankopɔn ansoma ne Ba amma ewiase sɛ ɔmmɛbu ewiase atɛn, na mmom, ɔsomaa no sɛ, ɔmmɛgye ewiase nkwa.
18 Amukkiriza tasalibwa musango, naye atakkiriza gumaze okumusinga kubanga takkiririza mu linnya ly’Omwana oyo omu yekka owa Katonda.
Obiara a ɔgye ɔba no di no, wɔremmu no atɛn; na deɛ ɔnnye no nni no, wɔabu no atɛn dada, ɛfiri sɛ, wannye Onyankopɔn Ba korɔ no anni.
19 Era guno gwe musango nti: Omusana guzze mu nsi, kyokka abantu ne baagala ekizikiza okusinga omusana, kubanga ebikolwa byabwe bibi.
Deɛ Onyankopɔn gyina so bu atɛn ne sɛ: Hann no aba ewiase, nanso nnipa ani gye sum ho sene Hann no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn nneyɛeɛ nyinaa yɛ bɔne.
20 Buli akola ebibi akyawa Omusana era tajja eri musana, ebikolwa bye bireme okumanyibwa.
Ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ biara mpɛ Hann no, na ɔremmɛn Hann no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔsuro sɛ ne nneyɛeɛ bɔne no bɛda adi.
21 Naye buli ajja eri omusana akola eby’amazima, ebikolwa bye bimanyibwe nga byakolerwa mu Katonda.”
Na deɛ ɔyɛ Onyame apɛdeɛ no ba Hann no mu na obiara ahunu sɛ ɔyɛ Onyame apɛdeɛ.”
22 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be ne bajja mu nsi y’e Buyudaaya, n’abeera eyo nabo, era n’abatiza.
Yei akyi, Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no firii Yerusalem kɔɔ Yudea akuraa bi ase kɔtenaa hɔ kakra bɔɔ asu wɔ hɔ.
23 Mu kiseera ekyo ne Yokaana yali abatiriza mu Enoni okumpi ne Salimu, kubanga awo waaliwo amazzi mangi, era ng’abantu bangi bajja okubatizibwa,
Saa ɛberɛ no ara na Yohane nso rebɔ asu wɔ Ainon a ɛbɛn Salim, ɛfiri sɛ, na nsuwansuwa wɔ hɔ. Nnipa pii baa ne nkyɛn ma ɔbɔɔ wɔn asu.
24 olwo nga tannateekebwa mu kkomera.
Saa ɛberɛ no na wɔmfaa Yohane ntoo afiase.
25 Ne wabaawo empaka wakati w’abayigirizwa ba Yokaana n’Omuyudaaya ku nsonga ey’okutukuzibwa.
Ɛda bi, Yohane akyidifoɔ bi ne Yudani bi gyee akyinnyeɛ faa ahodwira ho.
26 Ne bajja eri Yokaana ne bamugamba nti, “Labbi, omuntu oli gwe wali naye emitala w’omugga Yoludaani, gwe wayogerako, laba abatiza era abantu bonna bagenda gy’ali.”
Enti, asuafoɔ no kɔɔ Yohane nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, ɔbarima bi a na ɔwɔ wo nkyɛn wɔ Yordan fa nohoa no a wodii ne ho adanseɛ no nso rebɔ asu na nnipa pii rekɔ ne nkyɛn.”
27 Yokaana n’abaddamu nti, “Omuntu tayinza kuba na kintu okuggyako nga kimuweereddwa okuva mu ggulu.
Yohane buaa sɛ, “Obi rentumi nni dwuma a ɛte saa gye sɛ Onyame ka ne ho.
28 Mmwe mwennyini mukimanyi bulungi nga bwe nabagamba nti, ‘Si nze Kristo.’ Nze natumibwa okumukulembera.
Mo ara modi me adanseɛ sɛ meka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ‘Ɛnyɛ me ne Kristo no, na mmom, wɔasoma me adi nʼanim kane.’
29 Nannyini mugole ye awasizza, naye mukwano nnannyini mugole ayimirira ng’amuwulidde, era asanyukira nnyo eddoboozi ly’oyo awasizza. Noolwekyo essanyu lyange lituukiridde.
Adamfo a ɔboa ayeforɔkunu no wɛn nʼaso twɛn no, na sɛ ɔte ne nne a, nʼani gye. Ɛno enti na mʼanigyeɛ wie pɛyɛ no.
30 Kimugwanira ye okugulumizibwa naye nze okutoowazibwa.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkɛseɛ na me nso meyɛ ɔketewa.
31 “Oyo ava mu ggulu, yafuga byonna. Ow’omu nsi, aba wa mu nsi, era ayogera bya mu nsi.
“Deɛ ɔfiri ɔsoro aba no yɛ ɔkɛseɛ sene obiara; Deɛ ɔfiri asase so no yɛ wiaseni na ɔkasa sɛ wiaseni.
32 Ye ategeeza ebyo bye yalaba ne bye yawulira, so tewali akkiriza by’ategeeza.
Ɔsoroni no ka deɛ wahunu ne deɛ wate, nanso obiara nnye no nni.
33 Naye oyo akkiriza by’ategeeza akakasa nti Katonda wa mazima.
Wɔn a wɔgye no di no di adanseɛ sɛ, Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔnokwafoɔ.
34 Kubanga oyo eyatumwa Katonda ategeeza ebigambo bya Katonda, n’Omwoyo gw’agaba tagerebwa.
Deɛ Onyankopɔn asoma no no ka Onyankopɔn asɛm, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn de ne Honhom ahyɛ no ma.
35 Kitaffe ayagala Omwana we era yamukwasa byonna mu mukono gwe.
Agya no dɔ ne Ba no enti ɔde biribiara so tumi ahyɛ ne nsa.
