Yohane 3
1 Muntu wamulikoto lya Bafalisi, lina lyakendi Nikodemo, mutangunishi wa Bayuda,
There was nowe a man of the Pharises, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Iewes.
2 walesa kuli Yesu mashiku ne kwambeti, “Bashikwiyisha, tucinsheti njamwe shikwiyisha ngwalatutumina Lesa, pakwinga kuliya muntu wela kwinsa bingashilo byeshikukankamanisha mbyomulenshinga, na Lesa nkalipo nendi.”
This man came to Iesus by night, and sayd vnto him, Rabbi, we knowe ye thou art a teacher come from God: for no man could do these miracles that thou doest, except God were with him.
3 Yesu walambeti, “Cancine ndakwambilinga kuliya muntu wela kwingila mubwami bwa Lesa na liya kusemwa cipya.”
Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except a man be borne againe, he can not see the kingdome of God.
4 Nikodemo walepusheti, “Sena muntu ngosemwa kayi cipya lakulu kendi? Sena ngawingila mulibunda mubanyina ne kusemwa cipya?”
Nicodemus sayde vnto him, Howe can a man be borne which is olde? can he enter into his mothers wombe againe, and be borne?
5 Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Ndakwambilinga cancine ncine kwambeti kotana wingila mu Bwami bwa Lesa citanshi kusemwa ne menshi ne Mushimu Uswepa.
Iesus answered, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except that a man be borne of water and of the Spirite, hee can not enter into the kingdome of God.
6 Muntu ukute kusemwa kumubili, nsombi kumushimu ukute kusemwa ne Mushimu Uswepa.
That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh: and that that is borne of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 Kotakankamana pakwinga ndakwambilyeti wela kusemwa katubili.
Marueile not that I said to thee, Yee must be borne againe.
8 Lukupwe lukute kupupula kulubasu kulikonse, kayi mukute kunyumfweti lulapupulunga, nsombi nkokute kwinshiba nkolulafumunga nambi nkolulenga. Nicimo cimo ne muntu uliyense lasemwa ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
The winde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it commeth, and whither it goeth: so is euery man that is borne of the Spirit.
9 Nikodemo walepusheti, “Ibi ngabinshika aconi?”
Nicodemus answered, and said vnto him, Howe can these things be?
10 Yesu walambeti, “Sena obe ntobe shikwiyisha wenshibikwa mu islayeli, nomba nkobinshi aconi bintu ibi?”
Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Ndakwambilinga cancine ncine tukute kwamba mbyotwinshi, kayi tukute kupa bukamboni mbyotwalabona, nomba amwe nkamulashomonga maswi etu.
Verely, verely I say vnto thee, wee speake that we know, and testifie that we haue seene: but yee receiue not our witnesse.
12 Na nkamulashomonga mpondamwambilinga byapanshi pano, nomba ngamushoma aconi ndamwambila bintu byakwilu?
If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things?
13 “Kuliya muntu walayako kwilu, nsombi Mwana Muntu ewalesa kufuma kwilu.
For no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that hath descended from heauen, that Sonne of man which is in heauen.
14 Nomba kayi mbuli Mose mucinyika musa walapacika njoka ya mukuba pelu pacitondo, copeleco neye Mwana Muntu nakanyamunwe pelu mushobomo.
And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp,
That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shoulde not perish, but haue eternall life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Kayi Lesa walabasunisha bantu pacishi capanshi, ecebo cakendi walayaba Mwanendi umo enka, kwambeti uliyense eti akamushome akacane buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loued the worlde, that hee hath giuen his onely begotten Sonne, that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Lesa nkalatuma Mwanendi panshi pano, kwambeti omboloshe milandu ya bantu, nsombi kwambeti abapulushe.
For God sent not his Sonne into the world, that he should condemne the world, but that the world through him might be saued.
18 “Namuntu washoma muli Yesu, Lesa nteshi akamomboloshe, nsombi abo balabulunga kushoma balomboloshewanga kendi, pakwinga nkabalashomonga Mwana wa Lesa enka.
Hee that beleeueth in him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because he hath not beleeued in the Name of that onely begotten Sonne of God.
19 Lombolosho nulu lwakwambeti nekukabeti mumuni walesa pacishi capanshi bantu balasuna mushinshe, kupita mumuni pakwinga incito shabo shaipa.
And this is the condemnation, that that light came into the worlde, and men loued darknesse rather then that light, because their deedes were euill.
20 Uliyense lenshinga byaipa, wapatana ne mumuni. Kayi nkakute kwisa patuba, kutina incito shakendi shaipa kwambeti ngashibonekela.
For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued.
21 Nsombi balenshinga byancine ncine bakute kwisa patuba, kayi bya kwinsa byabo bikute kwinshibiketi labinshi mwakunyumfwila Lesa.”
But he that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deedes might bee made manifest, that they are wrought according to God.
22 Panyuma pakendi, Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi balaya ku cimpansha caYudeya. Walekala nabo kwacindi citali kopeloko kabatisha bantu.
After these things, came Iesus and his disciples into the lande of Iudea, and there taried with them, and baptized.
23 Neye Yohane walikubatisha ku Ainoni pepi ne Salimu, pakwinga ekwalikuba menshi angi. Bantu balikushika kulyendiye, walikubabatisha.
And Iohn also baptized in Enon besides Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 Pacindici Yohane walikatana uwalwa mujele.
For Iohn was not yet cast into prison.
25 Beshikwiya bambi baYohane balatatika kutototekeshana ne Muyuda naumbi shamwambo wakuliswepesha.
Then there arose a question betweene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifying.
26 Neco beshikwiya basa balesa kuli Yohane ne kumwambileti, “Mwiyi bonani, muntu usa ngomwalikwamba nendi kutala kwa mulonga wa Yolodani, usa ngomwalenshila bukamboni neye labatishinga, kayi bantu bonse balafwambilinga kulyendiye.”
And they came vnto Iohn, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iorden, to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 Yohane walakumbuleti, “Muntu nkela kutambula kantu kalikonse na Lesa liya kumupa.
Iohn answered, and saide, A man can receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen.
28 Amwe ngamumbela bukamboni pakwinga mwalanyumfwa ndalambeti, Ntame Mupulushi Walaiwa, nsombi njame walatumwa pantangu pakendi.
Yee your selues are my witnesses, that I sayde, I am not that Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 Nyabwinga nimuka shibwinga. Nomba munendi nyabwinga emanapepi kanyumfwako ukute kukondwa anyumfwa maswi ashibwinga. Nicimo cimo nenjame kukondwa kwakame kulakwana.
He that hath the bride, is the bridegrome: but the friend of the bridegrome which standeth and heareth him, reioyceth greatly, because of the bridegromes voyce. This my ioy therefore is fulfilled.
30 Usa welela kuba ne bulemu bunene bwapita bwakame.”
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 “Weshikufuma kwilu wapita bonse. Weshikufuma panshi pano niwapanshi pano, kayi ukute kwamba bya panshi pano. Weshikufuma kwilu wapita bonse.
Hee that is come from an hie, is aboue all: he that is of the earth, is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: hee that is come from heauen, is aboue all.
32 Nendi uyu lenshinga bukamboni pa bintu mbyalabona ne kunyumfwa, nsombi paliya ukute kushoma maswi akendi.
And what hee hath seene and heard, that he testifieth: but no man receiueth his testimonie.
33 Nsombi muntu ashoma maswi akendi, ukute kulesheti Lesa ukute kukwanilisha malayano akendi.
He that hath receiued his testimonie, hath sealed that God is true.
34 Uyo Lesa ngwalatuma, ukute kwamba maswi a Lesa, pakwinga Lesa ukute kumupa Mushimu Uswepa wabula cipimo.
For hee whome God hath sent, speaketh the woordes of God: for God giueth him not the Spirit by measure.
35 Bata bamusuni mwanabo, kayi babika bintu byonse mumakasa akendi.
The Father loueth the Sonne, and hath giuen all things into his hande.
36 Muntu lashomonga mwanoyo, ukute buyumi butapu. Nsombi lakananga kushoma mwanoyo, nteshi akabe nebuyumi, neco bukalu bwa Lesa buli palyendiye cindi conse.” (aiōnios g166)
Hee that beleeueth in the Sonne, hath euerlasting life, and hee that obeyeth not the Sonne, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
