Jaona 3
1 Teo t’indaty mpiamo Fariseoo, i Nikodemosy ty tahina’e, mpifehe amo Jiosio,
There was nowe a man of the Pharises, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Iewes.
2 niheo mb’amy Iesoà mb’eo hàleñe, le nanoa’e ty hoe: O Talè, fohi’ay te mpañòke hirik’ aman’ Añahare irehe; amy te tsy eo ty hahatafetetse o viloñe anoe’oo naho tsy aman’ Añahare.
This man came to Iesus by night, and sayd vnto him, Rabbi, we knowe ye thou art a teacher come from God: for no man could do these miracles that thou doest, except God were with him.
3 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà aze: Eka! To o itaroñakoo, naho tsy asamake indraike t’indaty, le tsy hahaoniñe i Fifehean’ Añaharey re.
Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except a man be borne againe, he can not see the kingdome of God.
4 Aa hoe t’i Nikodemosy ama’e: Aia ty hahatolia’ ondaty, ie fa bey? Hahafimoake an-tron-drene’e ao fañindroe’e hao re hasamake?
Nicodemus sayde vnto him, Howe can a man be borne which is olde? can he enter into his mothers wombe againe, and be borne?
5 Tinoi’ Iesoà: Eka! to t’itaroñako t’ie tsy asamak’ ami’ty rano naho amy Arofoy le tsy hahazilike amy Fifehean’ Añaharey.
Iesus answered, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except that a man be borne of water and of the Spirite, hee can not enter into the kingdome of God.
6 Ze nasama’ ty nofotse ro nofotse, fe ze nasama’ i Arofoy ro arofo.
That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh: and that that is borne of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 Ko ilatsà’o i nitaroñakoy ty hoe: Tsy mahay tsy asamake boak’ añ’abo nahareo.
Marueile not that I said to thee, Yee must be borne againe.
8 Mitiok’ amy ze nahi’e i tiokey, mahajanjiñe ty feo’e irehe, fe tsy oni’o ty nihirifa’e ndra ty handoaha’e; izay ka ze hene nasama’ i Arofoy.
The winde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it commeth, and whither it goeth: so is euery man that is borne of the Spirit.
9 Hoe ty natoi’ i Nikodemosy, Aia ty hahamete izay?
Nicodemus answered, and said vnto him, Howe can these things be?
10 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Ihe mpañoke Israele hao ro tsy maharendreke o raha zao?
Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Eka! to t’itaroñako te volañe’ay o fohi’aio vaho talilie’ay o nitrea’aio, fe tsy antofe’ areo o taro’aio.
Verely, verely I say vnto thee, wee speake that we know, and testifie that we haue seene: but yee receiue not our witnesse.
12 Aa naho itaroñako raha an-tane atoio, fa tsy antofe’ areo, le aia ty hahatokisa’ areo te itaroñako rahan-dindìñe ao?
If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things?
13 Toe tsy eo ty nionjoñe mb’andindìñe ey naho tsy i nizotso hirik’ andikerañey, toe i Ana’ Ondatiy.
For no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that hath descended from heauen, that Sonne of man which is in heauen.
14 Manahake ty nañonjona’ i Mosè i mereñe am-patrambey añey, ro tsi-mete tsy hañengañe i Ana’ Ondatiy.
And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp,
That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shoulde not perish, but haue eternall life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Akore ty hakokoan’ Añahare ty voatse toy, kanao nitolora’e i lahy bako-toka’ey, soa tsy haito ze miato ama’e fa hanan-kaveloñe nainai’e. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loued the worlde, that hee hath giuen his onely begotten Sonne, that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Tsy nirahen’ Añahare mb’ ami’ty voatse toy hamàtse ty voatse toy i Anakey; fa t’ie ho fandrombahañe ty voatse toy.
For God sent not his Sonne into the world, that he should condemne the world, but that the world through him might be saued.
18 Tsy hafàtse ze miato ama’e; fa nafàtse ka ty tsi-miato, amy te tsy natokisa’e ty tahina’ i Ana-dahi-bako tokan’ Añaharey.
Hee that beleeueth in him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because he hath not beleeued in the Name of that onely begotten Sonne of God.
19 Zao o fàtseo, te nivotrak’ an-tane atoy i hazavàñey fe nitea’ ondatio o ieñeo te amy hazavàñey, ie raty sata.
And this is the condemnation, that that light came into the worlde, and men loued darknesse rather then that light, because their deedes were euill.
20 Heje’ ze hene mpanao ratio i hazavàñey, ie tsy miheo mb’amy hazavàñey tsy mone ho ventareñe o sata-rati’eo.
For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued.
21 Fe mb’amo hazavàñeo ty manao to, hampidodeàñe o fitoloña’eo, t’ie nanoeñe aman’ Añahare.
But he that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deedes might bee made manifest, that they are wrought according to God.
22 Ie añe, le nomb’an-tane’ Iehodà mb’eo t’Iesoà rekets’ o mpiama’eo le nitamañe añe miharo am’ iereo vaho nampilipotse.
After these things, came Iesus and his disciples into the lande of Iudea, and there taried with them, and baptized.
23 Nampilipotse e Ainone marine i Saleime añe ka t’i Jaona, amy t’ie maro rano, le nimb’ama’e mb’eo iareo vaho nampiliporeñe.
And Iohn also baptized in Enon besides Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 Mbe tsy nafetsak’ an-drohy ao hey t’i Jaona.
For Iohn was not yet cast into prison.
25 Ie amy zao nifandietse amo fañaliovañeo o Tehodao naho o mpiamy Jaonao.
Then there arose a question betweene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifying.
26 Aa le nimb’ amy Jaona iereo, nanao ty hoe: O Raby, i nindre ama’o alafe’ Iordaneiy, i nitalilie’oy, inao, ie ka ro mampilipotse, le kila mb’ama’e mb’eo.
And they came vnto Iohn, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iorden, to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 Hoe ty natoi’ i Jaona: Tsy maha-rambe ndra inoñ’ inoñe t’indaty naho tsy natolots’aze boak’ andindìñe añe.
Iohn answered, and saide, A man can receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen.
28 Inahareo ro valolombeloñe te nitaroñeko ty hoe, Tsy izaho i Norizañey, fa nahitrike ho fiaolo’e.
Yee your selues are my witnesses, that I sayde, I am not that Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 Talè’ ty enga-vao ty mpañenga; mijohañe eo naho mitsendreñe aze ty rañe’ i mpañengay, le mahavaranehake aze ty fiarañanaña’ i mpañengay; izay ty mañeneke o haehakoo.
He that hath the bride, is the bridegrome: but the friend of the bridegrome which standeth and heareth him, reioyceth greatly, because of the bridegromes voyce. This my ioy therefore is fulfilled.
30 Mahity te ie ty haonjoñe vaho izaho ty hareke.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 Ambone’ ze he’e i hirik’ amboney. Le a ty tane toy ty hirik’an-tane atoy, vaho ty tane toy ro fisaontsie’e; lohà’ ze he’e i boak’ andindìñey.
Hee that is come from an hie, is aboue all: he that is of the earth, is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: hee that is come from heauen, is aboue all.
32 Ze nivazoho’e naho nijanjiñe’e ro taroñe’e; fe tsy eo ty mandrambe i taro’ey.
And what hee hath seene and heard, that he testifieth: but no man receiueth his testimonie.
33 I niantoke i taro’eiy ty namolitomboke te to t’i Andrianañahare.
He that hath receiued his testimonie, hath sealed that God is true.
34 Saontsie’ i nahitrin’ Añaharey o tsaran’ Añahareo, amy te tsy arañen’ Añahare ty fanolorañe i Arofoy.
For hee whome God hath sent, speaketh the woordes of God: for God giueth him not the Spirit by measure.
35 Kokoan-dRae i Anakey vaho kila natolo’e am-pità’e.
The Father loueth the Sonne, and hath giuen all things into his hande.
36 Aman-kaveloñe nainai’e ty miato amy Anakey; fe tsy hahaisake i haveloñey ty manjehatse i Anakey, ie mb’e fehe’ ty haviñeran’ Añahare. (aiōnios g166)
Hee that beleeueth in the Sonne, hath euerlasting life, and hee that obeyeth not the Sonne, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
