2 lo weza kuJesu ebusuku, wathi kuye: Rabi, siyazi ukuthi ungumfundisi ovela kuNkulunkulu; ngoba kakho ongenza lezizibonakaliso ozenzayo wena, uba uNkulunkulu engelaye.

3 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe: Ngaphandle kokuthi umuntu azalwe ngokutsha, angewubone umbuso kaNkulunkulu.

4 UNikodima wathi kuye: Umuntu angazalwa njani esemdala? Angangena yini ngokwesibili esiswini sikanina azalwe?

5 UJesu waphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe: Uba umuntu engazalwanga ngamanzi langoMoya, angengene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.

6 Lokho okuzelwe yinyama kuyinyama; lalokho okuzelwe nguMoya kungumoya.

8 Umoya uphephethela lapho othanda khona, uyawuzwa umdumo wawo, kodwa kawazi lapho ovela khona lalapho oya khona; unjalo wonke ozelwe nguMoya.

9 UNikodima waphendula wathi kuye: Lezizinto zingenzeka njani?

10 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Wena ungumfundisi wakoIsrayeli, kodwa kawuzazi lezizinto yini?

11 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe: Sikhuluma esikwaziyo, sifakaze esikubonileyo; kodwa kalibemukeli ubufakazi bethu.

12 Nxa ngilitshelile izinto zomhlaba njalo lingakholwa, lizakholwa njani, uba ngilitshela izinto zezulwini?
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲉ͡ⲓϫⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁⲛϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲧⲡⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ.
13 Njalo kakho owake wenyukela ezulwini, ngaphandle kowehla ezulwini, iNdodana yomuntu esezulwini.

14 Futhi njengoba uMozisi waphakamisa inyoka enkangala, ngokunjalo iNdodana yomuntu imele ukuphakanyiswa;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲙⲱⲩ̈ⲥⲏⲥ ϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲏⲙⲟⲥ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϫⲉⲥⲧⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ
15 ukuze wonke okholwa kuyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe lempilo elaphakade. (aiōnios )

16 Ngoba uNkulunkulu wawuthanda umhlaba ngokunjalo, ngakho wanika iNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuze wonke okholwa kuyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe lempilo elaphakade. (aiōnios )
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥⲉϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōnios )
17 Ngoba uNkulunkulu kayithumanga iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukuthi iwulahle umhlaba, kodwa ukuze umhlaba usindiswe ngayo.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅.
18 Okholwa kiyo kalahlwa; kodwa ongakholwayo uselahliwe, ngoba engakholwanga ebizweni leNdodana kaNkulunkulu ezelwe yodwa.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲏⲇⲏ ⲁⲩⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
19 Ukulahlwa kuyilokhu, ukuthi ukukhanya kufikile emhlabeni, kodwa abantu bathanda ubumnyama kulokukhanya; ngoba imisebenzi yabo yayimibi.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ. ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲩϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ.
20 Ngoba wonke owenza okubi uzonda ukukhanya, njalo kezi ekukhanyeni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ingasolwa.
ⲕ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ϥⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩϫⲡⲓⲉⲛⲉϥϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ.
21 Kodwa owenza iqiniso uyeza ekukhanyeni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ibonakale, ukuthi yenziwe kuNkulunkulu.

22 Emva kwalezizinto uJesu weza elizweni leJudiya labafundi bakhe; njalo wahlala khona kanye labo njalo wabhabhathiza.

23 UJohane laye wayebhabhathiza eEnoni eduze leSalima, ngoba kwakulamanzi amanengi khona; njalo babesiza bebhabhathizwa.
