Yohana 3
1 Abile Farisayo ywakemilwe lina lyake Nikodemo, yumo ya ajumbe ba baraza lya Ayahudi.
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 Mundu yoo atin'yendya Ngwana Yesu kilo ni kummakiya”Rabi, tutangite kuwa u mwalimu kuoma kwa Nnongo, kwa mana ntopo mundu ywaweza panga ishara zeno zoti abile pamope ni Nnongo.”
This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou have come a teacher from God, for no man can do these signs that thou do if God is not with him.
3 Yesu kayangwa, “Amini, amini, mundu aweza kwaa jingya mu'upwalume wa Nnongo mana abelekwile kwaa mara ya ibele.”
Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to thee, If any man is not begotten from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nikodemo kabaya, “Mundu awesa kinamani belekwa muda abile mpindo? Aweza kwaa jingya mu'ndumbo lya mao bake mara ya na'ibele ni belekwa, je ywaweza?
Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be begotten, being old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's belly, and be born?
5 Yesu kan'yangwa, “Amini amini mundu ywa abelekwile kwaa mu'mase ni kwa Roho, aweza kwaa jingya mu'upwalume wa Nnongo.
Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to thee, If any man is not begotten from water and Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Chabile belekwa ni yega nga yega, na chabelekwile ni Roho nga roho.
That which is begotten from the flesh is flesh, and that which is begotten from the Spirit is spirit.
7 Kana ushangae kwa mana natikukumakiya,'lazima kubelekwa mara ya ibele.'
Marvel not that I said to thee, ye must be begotten from above.
8 Mbepo ipuma popoti paupendile ni lilobe lyake mwaiyowa, lakini mtangite kwaa pa'ubokile wala kwouyenda. Nga ibile hali ya kila ywabelekwile ni Roho.
The wind blows where it will, and thou hear the sound of it, but know not from where it comes, and where it goes. So is every man who is begotten from the Spirit.
9 Nikodemo kayangwa, no baya, “Makowe aga gapangika kinamani?
Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things happen?
10 Yesu kannyangwa, “Wenga wa mwalimu wa Israeli, hata ugatangite kwaa makowe aga?
Jesus answered and said to him, Thou are the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
11 Amini, amini nakumakiya, chelo tukiyowine twaishuhudia kwa chelo twakibweni. Lakini upokea kwaa ushuhuda witu.
Truly, truly, I say to thee, we speak that which we know, and testify of what we have seen, and ye do not accept our testimony.
12 Kati niabakiye makowe ya pano pa'nnema ni mwamini kwaa, muwesa kinamani kuamini kati natikuabakiya makowe ga kumaunde?
If I told you earthly things, and ye do not believe, how will ye believe if I should tell you heavenly things?
13 Mana ntopo ywapanda nnani kuoma kumaunde ila ywembe ywauluka, mwana wa Adamu.
And no man has ascended into heaven, except he who came down out of heaven: the Son of man who is in heaven.
14 Kati Musa mwaankakatuye nngambo mulijangwa, nyonyo Mwana wa Adamu lazima akakatuyilwe,
And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,
so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Kwa mana nga namna yee Nnongo aipendile dunia, kam'boywa mwana wake wa pekee, ili mundu yeyoti ywamwamini kana aangamiye ila abe ni ukoti wangayomoka. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Kwa mana Nnongo amtumite kwaa mwana wake mu dunia ili kuihukumu dunia ila dunia ilopolewe pitya ywembe.
For God sent the Son into the world not that he might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
18 Ywamwamini ywembe alowa hukumilwa kwaa. Ywembe ywange mwamini tayari atihukumilwa kwa mana aliamini kwaa lina lya Mwana pekee ywa Nnongo.
He who believes in him is not condemned. He who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Ayee nga sababu ya hukumu, ya panga bweya uisile mu'ulimwengu, Lakini bandu kabapenda muno libendo kwa mana makowe gabe gabile mabou.
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil.
20 kila mundu ywapanga mabou uitola bweya wala aisa kwaa mu'bweya ili makowe gake gabonekane kwaa.
For every man who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be exposed.
21 Lakini, ywembe ywapanga kweli uisa mu'bweya ili makowe gake gabonekane gapangilwe kwa eshima ya Nnongo.
But he who does the truth comes to the light, so that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God.
22 Baada ya aga, Yesu pamope ni anapunzi bake batiyenda mu'nnema ya Yudea. Kolyo kabatumia muda pamope nabo ni abile atiabatiza.
After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the Judean country. And he remained there with them and immersed.
23 Nambeambe Yohana abile atikwabatiza kolyo Ainea papipi ni Salim maana pabile ni mase ganansima palyo.
And John also was immersing in Aenon near Salim because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed.
24 Kwa mana Yohana abile atabilwe kwa muligereza.
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Pabile papangilwe mabishano nkati ya anapunzi ba Yohana na Myahudi husu sikukuu ya utakaso.
Therefore a debate developed from John's disciples with the Jews about purification.
26 Kabayenda kwa Yohana kabammakiya, “Rabi, ywembe waubile niywembe ng'ambo ya mto Yordani, ywembe ywashuhudia habari yake, linga, aabatiza ni bote bayenda kunkengama.”
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, about whom thou have testified, behold, this man immerses, and all men come to him.
27 Yohana kayangwa mundu aweza kwaa pokya kilebe chochote ila kati ywapeilwe kuoma kumaunde.
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it is given to him from heaven.
28 Mwenga mwabene mwatishuhudia kuwa nabayite kuwa,'nenga kwaa Kristo,'badala yake nabayite,'Nitumilwe nnonge yake.'
Ye yourselves testify that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent ahead of that man.
29 Ywembe ywabile ni bibi arusi nga ngwana arusi. Nambeambe mbwiga wa ngwana arusi, ywayema ni kuyowa upulaiya muno kwa sababu ya lilobe lya ngwana arusi. Ayee nga puraha yango ya itimilike.
He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This therefore my joy is fulfilled.
30 Apalikwa yongeya, ni nenga nipalikwa pongwa.
It is necessary for that man to increase, but me to decrease.
31 Ywembe ywaboka kunani, abile nnani ya yoti. Ywembe ywabile ba ulimwengu abaka mu'ulimwengu. Ywembe ywaboka kumaunde abile nnani ya goti.
He who comes from above is above all things. He who is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all things.
32 Ywembe ushuhudia galo agabweni ni kugayowa, lakini ntopo ywapokya ushuhuda bake.
And what he has seen and heard, of this he testifies, and no man receives his testimony.
33 Ywembe ywapokya ushuhuda bake atihakikisha kuwa Nnongo nga mkweli.
He who has received his testimony has set a seal that God is true.
34 Kwa mana yolo ywatumilwe ni Nnongo ulongela maneno ga Nnongo. kwa mana ampeya kwaa mu'kipimo.
For he whom God sent speaks the sayings of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.
35 Tate umpenda mwana ni kumpeya ilebe yoti mumaboko gake.
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
36 Ywembe ywaaminiye mwana abile ni ukoti wanga yomoka, lakini kwa ywembe ywa mweshimu kwaa mwana aubweni kwaa ukoti, ila ghadhabu ya Nnongo ubile nnani yake. (aiōnios g166)
He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (aiōnios g166)
