Yohani 3
1 Kuweriti na mkulu gwa Shiyawudi yawamshema Nikodemu, kaweriti gwa shipinga sha Mafalisayu.
And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 Lishaka limu kamgendera Yesu pashiru na kamgambira, “Mfunda, tuvimana handa gwenga gwa mfunda yagutumitwi na Mlungu. Kwahera muntu yakaweziti kutenda mauzauza gagutenda mpaka Mlungu kapamuhera na yomberi.”
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 Yesu kamwankula, “Nakugambira nakaka, Kwahera muntu yakaweza kuwona Ufalumi wa Mlungu, pakayiwuka kayi ndiri.”
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 Nikodemu kamkosiya, “Muntu mkulu kaweza hashi kwiwuka kayi? Hashi, kaweza kwingira mumtima mwa mawu gwakuwi na kwiwuka mala ya pili?”
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 Yesu kamwankula, “Nakaka nukugambira, muntu yoseri pakiwuka ndiri kwa mashi na Rohu Mnanagala, hapeni kingiri Muufalumi wa Mlungu.
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 Muntu kiwuka shinshimba kwa tati na mawu, kumbiti yakiwuka shirohu kwa Rohu Mnanagala.
that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Nagulikangasha toziya nukugambira mpaka gwiwuki kayi.
You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
8 Liyega ligendaga palifira kugenda, gulipikanira kuvuma kwakuwi, kumbiti guvimana ndiri kwalilawiti ama kwaligenda. Ntambu iraayi, iwera hangu kwa muntu yakiwuka kwa Rohu.”
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 Nikodemu kamkosiya, “Hashi, shitwatila ashi, shiwezikani?”
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
10 Yesu kamwankula, “Hashi, gwenga guwera mfunda gwa Israeli na guvimana ndiri vitwatira avi?
Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?
11 Nukugambira nakaka, tutakula galii tugamaniti na tuwera wakapitawu wa galii tugawoniti, su mwenga mjimira ndiri ujumbi wetu.
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 Mjimira ndiri paniwagambireni vitwatira vya isi ayi, hashi hamjimiri panuwagambireni vitwatira vya kumpindi?
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 Kwahera muntu yakapatiti kugenda kumpindi kwa Mlungu, ira Mwana gwa Muntu ndo mweni yakalawiti kumpindi kwa Mlungu.”
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 Gambira Musa ntambu yakamtuliti njoka gwa shaba palusiki kushiwala kulii, ntambu iraayi Mwana gwa Muntu hakanyasulwi kumpindi,
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 Mana Mlungu kawafiriti nentu wantu wa pasipanu, su kamlaviyiti Mwana gwakuwi gwa gweka, su kila yakamjimira hapeni kahowi, kumbiti kaweri na ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (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 Mlungu kamjegiti ndiri Mwana gwakuwi pasipanu kupatoza, kumbiti kapalopoziyi.
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 Woseri yawamjimira Mwana hapeni katozwi, kumbiti woseri yawamjimira ndiri watozwa kala, toziya wamjimira ndiri Mwana gwa gweka gwa Mlungu.
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 Na toza yeni ndo ayi, gulangala gwiza pasipanu, kumbiti wantu wafiriti ntiti kuliku gulangala, toziya vitendu vyawu vidoda.
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 Woseri walii yawatenda vidoda wagukalalira gulangala, hapeni wizi muulangala, toziya wafira ndiri vitendu vyawu vimaniki.
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 Kumbiti woseri yawatenda unakaka wiza mu mulangala, su gulangala guvilangaliri vitendu vyawu vyawavitenda vyakumjimilira Mlungu.
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 Shakapanu, Yesu pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi wagenditi kumkowa gwa Yudeya, kalikaliti kuliya pamuhera nawomberi kwa shipindi pakabatiza wantu.
After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
23 Viraa Yohani kaweriti kankubatiza wantu kulii Ainoni, pakwegera na Salemu, toziya kulii kuweriti na mashi gamema. Wantu wamgendiriti, nayomberi kaweriti kankuwabatiza.
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 Shipindi ashi Yohani wenimtuli mushibetubetu.
for John was not yet cast into the prison—
25 Likakatala lilawiriti pakati pa wafundwa wa Yohani na Myawudi yumu kuusu shitiba sha kunawa ntambu yayifiriwitwi.
there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
26 Su wamgenderiti Yohani na kumgambira, “mfunda, gumuhola muntu uliya yakaweriti pamuhera nagwenga kusika kumwambu kwa Yoridani, ulii gwenga yagumtakuliti? Vinu yomberi kankubatiza na kila muntu kamgendera!”
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 Yohani kawankula, “Kwahera muntu yakawera na shintu shoseri, mpaka kapananwi kulawa kumpindi.
John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given him from Heaven;
28 Maweni mwenga muweza kutakula galii gantakuliti, ‘Neni na Kristu ndiri, kumbiti wantumiti su numulongoleri.’”
you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been sent before Him;
29 Mpalu gwa ndowa ndo mweni gwa mdala gwa ndowa, su wagolokera ndowa yawagolokiti na kupikinira, wanemelera nentu pawapikanira liziwu lya mpalu gwa ndowa. Hangu ndo ntambu ya nemeleriti nentu.
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 Mweni ndo kendereyi kamanikana ira neni nendereyi kumanikana ndiri.
It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
31 Yakiza kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu ndo mkulu kuliku woseri. Yakalawila pasipanu ndo gwa pasipanu na katakulaga vitwatira vya pasi panu, kumbiti yakiza kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu ndo mkulu kuliku woseri.
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 Yomberi kapitawulira galii kagawoniti na kugapikanira, kumbiti kwahera muntu yakaujimilira ujumbi wakuwi.
And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;
33 Su muntu yoseri yakajimira ukapitawu wakuwi, katakula weri handa Mlungu ndo gwa nakaka.
he who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;
34 Uliya yakatumitwi na Mlungu kutakula visoweru vya Mlungu, toziya Mlungu kumpanana muntu ayu Rohu Mnanagala pota na shipimu.
for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure;
35 Tati kamfira Mwana gwakuwi na kavitula vintu vyoseri mumawoku mwakuwi.
the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand;
36 Yakamwamini Mwana kana ukomu wa mashaka goseri, yakamjimira ndiri Mwana hakaweri ndiri na ukomu, su maya ga Mlungu hagaweri kwakuwi. (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)
