UJohane 3
1 Kwakukhona-ke umuntu wakubaFarisi, nguNikodima ibizo lakhe, isikhulu samaJuda;
Hagi Farisi vahepinti mago nera agi'a Nikodimasi, Jiu vahe'mokizmi mono kanisol ne' mani'ne.
2 lo weza kuJesu ebusuku, wathi kuye: Rabi, siyazi ukuthi ungumfundisi ovela kuNkulunkulu; ngoba kakho ongenza lezizibonakaliso ozenzayo wena, uba uNkulunkulu engelaye.
E'i ana ne'mo'a kenage hanimpi Jisasinte eno amanage huno antahige'ne. Rempi hurami ne'moka antahi'none, Kagrama hurami ne' Anumzamofontegati e'nane. Mago'mo'a Kagrama nehanaza huno amanahu avame zana osugahie, Anumzamo agrane mani'nesimo hugahie.
3 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe: Ngaphandle kokuthi umuntu azalwe ngokutsha, angewubone umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Higeno Jisasi'a kenona'a amanage huno asami'ne, Tamagerafa hu'na ama kea negasamue. Runema kasefa osnimo'a, Anumzamofo kumapina uofregahie,
4 UNikodima wathi kuye: Umuntu angazalwa njani esemdala? Angangena yini ngokwesibili esiswini sikanina azalwe?
Nikodimasi'a kenona'a huno, inankna huno ra vahe'mo'a ete osi mofavregna huno fore hugahie? Ete ra vahe'mo'a anta'amofo arimpafina ufrenkeno eteno kasentegahifi?
5 UJesu waphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe: Uba umuntu engazalwanga ngamanzi langoMoya, angengene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
Higeno Jisasi'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Tamagerafa hu'na kagrira negasamue. Aza'o tinteti'ene Avamuteti'ene kasefa osnimo'a, Anumzamofo kumapina uofregahie,
6 Lokho okuzelwe yinyama kuyinyama; lalokho okuzelwe nguMoya kungumoya.
Mopafi vahe'mo'ma kasente'nesiana vahere. Hanki Ruotge Avamu'mo'ma eri fore hu'nesia zana avamure.
7 Ungamangali ukuthi ngithe kuwe: Kufanele ukuthi lizalwe ngokutsha.
Amama kasamisua zankura Nagriku hie hunka kmanogura osunka, kagra etenka kasefa mofavre hampro,
8 Umoya uphephethela lapho othanda khona, uyawuzwa umdumo wawo, kodwa kawazi lapho ovela khona lalapho oya khona; unjalo wonke ozelwe nguMoya.
Zahomo'a inantega vunaku hirega nevigenka agasasa'a nentahine. Hagi inantegati eteno, inantega nevio antahinka kenka nosane. E'ina hu'za mika vahe'mo'za Avamupina kasefara nehaze.
9 UNikodima waphendula wathi kuye: Lezizinto zingenzeka njani?
Higeno Nikodimasi'a ana zanku, amanahu zamo'a inankna hugahie? huno higeno,
10 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Wena ungumfundisi wakoIsrayeli, kodwa kawuzazi lezizinto yini?
Jisasi'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage huno hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mokizmi rempi huzami ne' mani'nenka, ama nanekea antahi amara nosano?
11 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe: Sikhuluma esikwaziyo, sifakaze esikubonileyo; kodwa kalibemukeli ubufakazi bethu.
Tamagerfa hu'na negasamue. Kema nehunana, antahita keta hu'nona zanku huama nehunketa, ana nanekegura tamagra antahinoramize.
12 Nxa ngilitshelile izinto zomhlaba njalo lingakholwa, lizakholwa njani, uba ngilitshela izinto zezulwini?
Mopafi zanku'ma neramasamisunketa tamagrama tamentintima osanuta inankna huta monafi zanku'ma tamasami'sunana tamentintia hugahaze?
13 Njalo kakho owake wenyukela ezulwini, ngaphandle kowehla ezulwini, iNdodana yomuntu esezulwini.
Mago'mo'a monafinka mrerino ovu'ne. Hagi Agra monafinkati'ma erami'neana, Vahe'mofo Mofavremo erami'ne.
14 Futhi njengoba uMozisi waphakamisa inyoka enkangala, ngokunjalo iNdodana yomuntu imele ukuphakanyiswa;
Mosesema hagage kokampi osifa'vema erintesga hu'nea kna hu'za, Vahe'mofo Mofavrea azeri antesga hugahaze.
Hanigeno aza'o, Agripi amentinti hanimo'a, manivava asimu erigahie. (aiōnios g166)
16 Ngoba uNkulunkulu wawuthanda umhlaba ngokunjalo, ngakho wanika iNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuze wonke okholwa kuyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe lempilo elaphakade. (aiōnios g166)
Anumzamo tusiza huno mopafi vaheku avesi nezmanteno, magoke ante'nea Ne'mofavre'a zami'ne. Agrite zamentinti hanamo'za fanane osu'za manivava zamasimu erigahaze. (aiōnios g166)
17 Ngoba uNkulunkulu kayithumanga iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukuthi iwulahle umhlaba, kodwa ukuze umhlaba usindiswe ngayo.
Na'ankure Anumzamo Mofavre'a huntegeno ama mopafima e'neana, mopafi vahe refko hinogu huntegeno ome'ne. Hagi Agripinkati vahe'mo'za zamagu'vazizana erisaze huno huntegeno erami'ne.
18 Okholwa kiyo kalahlwa; kodwa ongakholwayo uselahliwe, ngoba engakholwanga ebizweni leNdodana kaNkulunkulu ezelwe yodwa.
Aza'o Agrite'ma amentintima himofona refko huno nanekea hunonte, iza'o Agrite'ma amentintima nosimofona, trate ko avrenteno keaga hunte'ne. Na'ankure Anumzamofona magoke Mofavre'amofo agirera, agra amentinti osigu ana nehie.
19 Ukulahlwa kuyilokhu, ukuthi ukukhanya kufikile emhlabeni, kodwa abantu bathanda ubumnyama kulokukhanya; ngoba imisebenzi yabo yayimibi.
Nanekema huzmante'siana, ama kemofo agafare huzmantegahie. Masamo'a ama mopafima efregeno'a, vahe'mo'za hani avu'ava'zanku avesinente'za masamofona avesi onte'naze. Na'ankure havi zamu'zamake'za hu'naze.
20 Ngoba wonke owenza okubi uzonda ukukhanya, njalo kezi ekukhanyeni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ingasolwa.
Aza'o havizama nehia vahe'mo'a, tavi'mofona zamesra hunente'za, masarera nomaze. Na'ankure haviza nehazazamo eama huzanku nomaze.
21 Kodwa owenza iqiniso uyeza ekukhanyeni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ibonakale, ukuthi yenziwe kuNkulunkulu.
Hu'neanagi aza'o tamage avu'ava'ma nehimo'a tavitera egahie. Na'ankure hakaremo'za nege'za Anumzamofo avenesiaza nehie hu'za hugahaze.
22 Emva kwalezizinto uJesu weza elizweni leJudiya labafundi bakhe; njalo wahlala khona kanye labo njalo wabhabhathiza.
Hagi ananteti Jisasi'a amagenentaza disaipol naga'ane, Judia kaziga vu'za mago'a kna umani'ne'za mono tina fre zamante'naze.
23 UJohane laye wayebhabhathiza eEnoni eduze leSalima, ngoba kwakulamanzi amanengi khona; njalo babesiza bebhabhathizwa.
E'i ana knafi Joni'a, Salim kumamofo tava'onte Ainoni kumate mono tina frezmante'ne. Na'ankure anantega rama'a tina me'nege'za vahe'mo'za ete'vute hu'za mono tina fre'naze.
24 Ngoba uJohane wayengakaphoselwa entolongweni.
Na'ankure Jonina kina huonte'naza knafine.
25 Kwasekusiba khona ukuphikisana phakathi kwabafundi bakaJohane lamaJuda ngokuhlambulula.
Ana nehazage'za Jonima amage nentaza disaipol naga'ane, mago Jiu ne'ene, Juda vahe'mokizmi avu'avapi ti fre'za avu sese nehaza zanku keaga hu'naze.
26 Basebesiza kuJohane bathi kuye: Rabi, lowo owawulaye ngaphetsheya kweJordani, owamfakazelayo, khangela yena uyabhabhathiza, njalo bayeza kuye bonke.
Nehu'za Joninte e'za amanage hu'za asmi'naze. Hurami (Rabbai) ne'moke, Jodani timofo kantu kaziga kagrane mani'neama, Agri agi hu'ama hu'nana ne'mo'a, mono ti frenezmantege'za mika vahe'mo'za Agrite nevaze.
27 UJohane waphendula wathi: Umuntu angemukele ulutho, ngaphandle kokuthi alunikwe luvela ezulwini.
Hazageno Joni'a anage hu'ne, mago vahe'mo'a, Mago zana e'origahie, ana hugahianagi monafinkati mago'zama amisigeno'a amne erigahie.
28 Lina ngokwenu liyangifakazela ukuthi ngathi: Kangisuye uKristu mina, kodwa ukuthi ngithunyiwe ngaphambi kwakhe.
Tamagratmi antahi'nage'na amanahu kea hu'noe, Nagra Kraisi'na omani'noe hu'na hu'noe. Hianagi Agrira azeri henka atreno, nagrira pusante hunantege'na e'noe.
29 Olomakoti ungumyeni; kodwa umngane womyeni, omiyo emuzwa, uthokoza ngentokozo ngelizwi lomyeni; ngakho lintokozo yami isiphelele.
Mago vemo'ma a'ma erinaku nehigeno rone'amo oti'neno antahi nemino, aravema huku hia vahe'mofo ageru nentahino muse nehie. E'ina higu nagrira muse zamo'a avite'ne.
30 Umele ukukhula yena, kodwa mina nginciphe.
Agri agimo marerisigeno nagri nagimo uramisie.
31 Ovela phezulu uphezu kwakho konke. Ovela emhlabeni, ungowomhlaba, njalo ukhuluma okomhlaba; ovela ezulwini uphezu kwakho konke.
Agra anagamiti e'nemo'a maka'zana agatere'ne, aza'o ama mopafinti'ma e'nesimo'a, ama mopafi vahekino, ama mopafi zankuke kea hugahie. Agra aza'o monafinkati'ma e'nemo'a, Agra maka'zamofona zamagtere'ne.
32 Lalokho akubonileyo lakuzwileyo, ufakaza khona; kodwa kakho owemukela ubufakazi bakhe.
Agrama antahino keno hu'nea zante Agra naneke'a huama nehie, hianagi mago'mo'e huno agi agenke'a antahi anira osu'ne.
33 Owemukele ubufakazi bakhe uphawulile ukuthi uNkulunkulu uqinisile.
Iza'o, Agri agi agenke'a erimo'a, tamage huno Anumzamofo nanekegura nehie.
34 Ngoba lowo uNkulunkulu amthumileyo, ukhuluma amazwi kaNkulunkulu; ngoba uNkulunkulu umnika uMoya kungeyisikho ngesilinganiso.
Na'ankure Agrira Anumzamo huntege'no e'neankino, Anumzamofo keaga nehie. Na'ankure Agra refko osuga'are Avamura aviteno ami'ne.
35 UYise uyayithanda iNdodana, njalo unikele izinto zonke esandleni sayo.
Nefa'a, Nemofona avesinteno mika'zana kva hugahie huno, Agri azampi ante'ne.
36 Yena okholwa eNdodaneni ulempilo elaphakade; kodwa yena ongakholwayo eNdodaneni, kayikubona impilo, kodwa ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luhlezi phezu kwakhe. (aiōnios g166)
Aza'o Nemofonte amentintima hanimo'a manivava asimura erigahie. Hagi iza'o Nemofo kema rutagresimo'a manivava asimura e'origahie. Hanki Anumzamofo tusi'a rimpahe knazamo agrite megahie. (aiōnios g166)
