Yohannis 3
1 Fariisicha Niqoodemoos jedhamu bulchaa Yihuudootaa tokkotu ture.
And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name 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.
this one came to Him by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we have known that You have come from God—a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that You do, if God may not be with him.”
3 Yesuusis deebisee, “Ani dhuguman, dhuguman sitti hima; namni yoo lammata dhalate malee mootummaa Waaqaa arguu hin dandaʼu” jedheen.
Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not 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? Is he able to enter into the womb of his mother a second time, and to 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 answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of God;
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.’
You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for 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 blows where [that] One wills, and you hear [that] One’s voice, but you have not known from where [that] One comes, and to where [that] One goes; thus is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
9 Niqoodemoosis, “Kun akkamitti taʼuu dandaʼa?” jedhee gaafate.
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
10 Yesuus akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ati utuu barsiisaa Israaʼel taatee jirtuu waan kana hin beektuu?
Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know 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 to you, what We have known We speak, and what We have seen We testify, and you do not receive 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 of the earthly things, and you do not believe, how, if I will speak to you of the heavenly things, will you believe?
13 Ilma Namaa isa samii irraa gad buʼe malee eenyu iyyuu samiitti ol hin baane.
And no one has gone up to Heaven, except He who came down out of 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 it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up,
that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous 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 the only begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Waaqni karaa isaatiin addunyaa fayyisuudhaaf malee addunyaatti muruuf Ilma isaa gara addunyaatti hin ergineetii.
For God did not send His Son into the world that He may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through Him;
18 Kan isatti amanutti hin muramu; kan isatti hin amanne garuu waan inni maqaa Ilma Waaqaa tokkichaatti hin amaniniif ammuma iyyuu itti murameera.
he who is believing in Him is not judged, but he who is not believing has been judged already, because he has not believed in 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 judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;
20 Namni waan hamaa hojjetu kam iyyuu ifa jibba; akka hojiin isaa ifatti hin baafamneefis gara ifaa hin dhufu.
for everyone who is doing wicked things hates the light, and does not come into the light, that his works may not be detected;
21 Namni dhugaa hojjetu kam iyyuu garuu akka hojiin isaa akka fedhii Waaqaatti hojjetamuun isaa mulʼatuuf gara ifaa dhufa.
but he who is doing the truth comes into the light, that his works may be revealed, that in God they are having been worked.”
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 land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
23 Yohannisis naannoo Saalem iddoo Enoon jedhamutti ni cuupha ture; bishaan baayʼeen achi tureetii; namoonnis achi dhaqanii cuuphamu turan.
and John was also immersing in Aenon, near to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being immersed—
24 Kunis utuu Yohannis mana hidhaatti hin galfamin taʼe.
for John was not yet cast into the prison—
25 Yommus barattoota Yohannisii fi Yihuudii tokko gidduutti waaʼee qulqulleeffamuu irratti wal falmiin uumame.
there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about 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 was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you testified, behold, this One is immersing, and all are coming to Him.”
27 Yohannisis akkana jedhee deebise; “Namni yoo samii irraa isaaf kenname malee homaa fudhachuu hin dandaʼu.
John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given him from Heaven;
28 Akka ani, ‘Ani Kiristoos miti; garuu isa dura nan ergame’ jedhe isin mataan keessan iyyuu dhugaa naa baatu.
you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been 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.
He who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing Him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy has been fulfilled.
30 Inni guddaa taʼuu qaba; ani immoo xinnaa taʼuun qaba.
It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
31 “Kan olii dhufu inni hundumaa oli; inni lafaa immoo kanuma lafaa ti; waanuma lafaa dubbatas. Kan samii irraa dhufu inni hundumaa oli.
He who is coming from above is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaks; He who is coming from Heaven is above all.
32 Inni waan argee fi waan dhagaʼe dhugaa baʼa; dhuga baʼumsa isaa garuu eenyu iyyuu hin fudhatu.
And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;
33 Namni dhuga baʼumsa kana fudhates akka Waaqni dhugaa taʼe mirkaneesse.
he who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;
34 Inni Waaqni erge dubbii Waaqaa dubbata; Waaqnis safara malee Hafuura isaa ni kennaatii.
for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure;
35 Abbaan Ilma ni jaallata; waan hundas harka isaatti kenneera.
the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand;
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 who is believing in the Son has continuous life; and he who is not believing the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (aiōnios g166)
