Yohannis 3
1 Fariisicha Niqoodemoos jedhamu bulchaa Yihuudootaa tokkotu ture.
There was a man of the Pharisees, the name to him Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 Innis halkaniin Yesuus bira dhaqee, “Yaa barsiisaa, akka ati barsiisaa Waaqa biraa dhufte taate nu beekna; nama Waaqni isa wajjin jiru malee namni mallattoo ati hojjettu kana hojjechuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii” jedheen.
the same came to Him by night, and said to Him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come a teacher from God; for no one is able to do these miracles, which thou art doing, unless God may he with him.
3 Yesuusis deebisee, “Ani dhuguman, dhuguman sitti hima; namni yoo lammata dhalate malee mootummaa Waaqaa arguu hin dandaʼu” jedheen.
Jesus responded and said to him, Truly, truly, I say unto thee, unless any one may be born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.
4 Niqoodemoos immoo, “Namni erga dulloomee booddee akkamitti dhalachuu dandaʼa? Dhalachuuf jedhee lammata gadameessa haadha isaa keessa seenuu dandaʼaa?” jedhee gaafate.
Nicodemus says to him; How is a man able to be born, being old? whether he is able to enter the second time into the womb of his mother, and be born?
5 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebise; “Ani dhuguman, dhuguman sitti hima; namni yoo bishaanii fi Hafuura irraa dhalate malee mootummaa Waaqaatti galuu hin dandaʼu.
Jesus responded, Truly, truly, I say unto thee, Unless any one may be born of water and Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
6 Kan foon irraa dhalate foon; kan Hafuura irraa dhalate garuu hafuura.
That which has been born of the flesh is flesh; and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Jecha ani, ‘Ati lammata dhalachuu si barbaachisa siin jedhe hin dinqifatin.’
Be not astonished because I said to thee; It behooveth you to be born from above.
8 Bubbeen gara fedhetti bubbisa. Atis huursuu isaa dhageessa malee akka inni eessaa dhufee fi akka inni garamitti deemu hin beektu; namni Hafuura irraa dhalate hundinuus akkanuma.”
The Spirit breathes on whom He willeth, and thou hearest His voice, but dost not know whence He cometh and whither He goeth; so is every one who has been born of the Spirit.
9 Niqoodemoosis, “Kun akkamitti taʼuu dandaʼa?” jedhee gaafate.
Nicodemus responded and said to Him, How are these things able to he?
10 Yesuus akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ati utuu barsiisaa Israaʼel taatee jirtuu waan kana hin beektuu?
Jesus responded and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel and knowest not these things?
11 Ani dhuguman, dhuguman sitti hima; nu waan beeknu dubbanna; waan argines dhugaa ni baana; isin garuu dhugaa baʼumsa keenya hin fudhattan.
Truly, truly, I say unto thee, that we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; and you received not our testimony.
12 Isin yoo ani waan addunyaa isinitti himnaan hin amanin, yoo ani waan samii isinitti hime akkamitti amantu ree?
If I spoke to you things upon the earth, and you do net believe, how will you believe, if I speak to you of things in heaven?
13 Ilma Namaa isa samii irraa gad buʼe malee eenyu iyyuu samiitti ol hin baane.
No one hath ascended up into heaven, but the one having come down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven.
14 Akkuma Museen gammoojjii keessatti bofa fannisesana Ilmi Namaas fannifamuu qaba.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so does it behoove the Son of man to be lifted up:
that every one believing in Him may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Kan isatti amanu hundi jireenya bara baraa akka qabaatuuf malee akka hin badneef, Waaqni hamma Ilma isaa tokkicha kennutti addunyaa jaallateeraatii. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that every one believing on Him may not perish but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Waaqni karaa isaatiin addunyaa fayyisuudhaaf malee addunyaatti muruuf Ilma isaa gara addunyaatti hin ergineetii.
For God sent not His Son into the world that He may condemn the world; but that the world through Him may be saved.
18 Kan isatti amanutti hin muramu; kan isatti hin amanne garuu waan inni maqaa Ilma Waaqaa tokkichaatti hin amaniniif ammuma iyyuu itti murameera.
He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not, has already been condemned, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Murtiin sunis isa kana: Ifni gara addunyaa dhufe; namoonni garuu waan hojiin isaanii hamaa tureef ifa caalaa dukkana jaallatan.
And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light; for their works are evil.
20 Namni waan hamaa hojjetu kam iyyuu ifa jibba; akka hojiin isaa ifatti hin baafamneefis gara ifaa hin dhufu.
For every one doing evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, in order that his works may not be convicted;
21 Namni dhugaa hojjetu kam iyyuu garuu akka hojiin isaa akka fedhii Waaqaatti hojjetamuun isaa mulʼatuuf gara ifaa dhufa.
but every one doing the truth comes to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they have been wrought in God.
22 Ergasiis Yesuusii fi barattoonni isaa gara biyya Yihuudaa dhaqan; innis isaan wajjin achi ture; ni cuuphes.
After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the Judean country; and there He was tarrying with them and baptizing.
23 Yohannisis naannoo Saalem iddoo Enoon jedhamutti ni cuupha ture; bishaan baayʼeen achi tureetii; namoonnis achi dhaqanii cuuphamu turan.
And John was also baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there were many waters there: and they came and baptized.
24 Kunis utuu Yohannis mana hidhaatti hin galfamin taʼe.
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Yommus barattoota Yohannisii fi Yihuudii tokko gidduutti waaʼee qulqulleeffamuu irratti wal falmiin uumame.
And there was a disputation of the disciples of John, concerning purifying.
26 Isaanis Yohannis bira dhufanii, “Yaa barsiisaa, namichi si wajjin Yordaanos gama ture, kan ati waaʼee isaa dhugaa baate sun kunoo cuuphuutti jira; namni hundis gara isaa dhaquutti jira” jedhaniin.
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, He who is with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all are coming to Him.
27 Yohannisis akkana jedhee deebise; “Namni yoo samii irraa isaaf kenname malee homaa fudhachuu hin dandaʼu.
John responded and said, No man is able to receive anything, unless it may have been given unto him from heaven.
28 Akka ani, ‘Ani Kiristoos miti; garuu isa dura nan ergame’ jedhe isin mataan keessan iyyuu dhugaa naa baatu.
You are witnessing to me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before Him.
29 Misirrittiin kan misirrichaa ti. Miinjeen misirricha bira dhaabatuu fi isa dhaggeeffatu, yommuu sagalee misirrichaa dhagaʼutti akka malee gammada. Gammachuun sun kan koo ti; gammachuun koos amma guutuu taʼeera.
The one having the bride is the Bridegroom: but the friend of the Bridegroom is the one standing and hearing him, rejoiceth with joy on account of the Bridegroom: This, my joy has been made complete.
30 Inni guddaa taʼuu qaba; ani immoo xinnaa taʼuun qaba.
It behooveth Him to increase, and me to decrease.
31 “Kan olii dhufu inni hundumaa oli; inni lafaa immoo kanuma lafaa ti; waanuma lafaa dubbatas. Kan samii irraa dhufu inni hundumaa oli.
He that cometh from above is above all;
32 Inni waan argee fi waan dhagaʼe dhugaa baʼa; dhuga baʼumsa isaa garuu eenyu iyyuu hin fudhatu.
the one being of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. The one coming from heaven witnesses what He has seen and heard, and no one receives His testimony.
33 Namni dhuga baʼumsa kana fudhates akka Waaqni dhugaa taʼe mirkaneesse.
The one having received His testimony hath set his seal, that God is true.
34 Inni Waaqni erge dubbii Waaqaa dubbata; Waaqnis safara malee Hafuura isaa ni kennaatii.
For whom God sent speaketh the words of God: for He does not give His spirit by measure.
35 Abbaan Ilma ni jaallata; waan hundas harka isaatti kenneera.
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things in His hands.
36 Namni Ilmatti amanu jireenya bara baraa qaba; namni Ilmaaf hin ajajamne garuu dheekkamsa Waaqaatu isa irra jiraata malee jireenya hin argu.” (aiōnios g166)
He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
