Yohane 3
1 Muntu wamulikoto lya Bafalisi, lina lyakendi Nikodemo, mutangunishi wa Bayuda,
Ther was a man of the pharises named Nicodemus a ruler amonge ye 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.”
The same cam to Iesus by nyght and sayde vnto him: Rabbi we knowe that thou arte a teacher whiche arte come from God. For no man coulde do suche miracles as 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 sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto the: except a man be boren a newe he cannot se the kyngdom of God.
4 Nikodemo walepusheti, “Sena muntu ngosemwa kayi cipya lakulu kendi? Sena ngawingila mulibunda mubanyina ne kusemwa cipya?”
Nicodemus sayde vnto him: how can a man be boren when he is olde? can he enter into his moders wombe and be boren agayne?
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 saye vnto the: except that a man be boren of water and of ye sprete he cannot enter into the kyngdome of god.
6 Muntu ukute kusemwa kumubili, nsombi kumushimu ukute kusemwa ne Mushimu Uswepa.
That which is boren of the flesshe is flesshe: and that which is boren of the sprete is sprete.
7 Kotakankamana pakwinga ndakwambilyeti wela kusemwa katubili.
Marvayle not that I sayd to the ye must be boren a newe.
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 wynde bloweth where he listeth and thou hearest his sounde: but canst not tell whence he cometh and whether he goeth. So is every man that is boren of the sprete.
9 Nikodemo walepusheti, “Ibi ngabinshika aconi?”
And Nicodemus answered and sayde vnto him: how can these thinges be?
10 Yesu walambeti, “Sena obe ntobe shikwiyisha wenshibikwa mu islayeli, nomba nkobinshi aconi bintu ibi?”
Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: arte thou a master in Israel and knowest not these thinges?
11 Ndakwambilinga cancine ncine tukute kwamba mbyotwinshi, kayi tukute kupa bukamboni mbyotwalabona, nomba amwe nkamulashomonga maswi etu.
Verely verely I saye vnto the we speake that we knowe and testify that we have sene: and ye receave not oure witnes.
12 Na nkamulashomonga mpondamwambilinga byapanshi pano, nomba ngamushoma aconi ndamwambila bintu byakwilu?
Yf when I tell you erthely thinges ye beleve not: how shuld ye beleve yf I shall tell you of hevenly thinges?
13 “Kuliya muntu walayako kwilu, nsombi Mwana Muntu ewalesa kufuma kwilu.
And no man ascendeth vp to heaven but he that came doune from heaven that is to saye the sonne of man which is in heaven.
14 Nomba kayi mbuli Mose mucinyika musa walapacika njoka ya mukuba pelu pacitondo, copeleco neye Mwana Muntu nakanyamunwe pelu mushobomo.
And as Moses lifte vp the serpent in the wyldernes even so must the sonne of man be lifte vp
that none that beleveth in him perisshe: but have eternall lyfe. (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 loveth the worlde yt he hath geven his only sonne that none that beleve in him shuld perisshe: but shuld have everlastinge lyfe. (aiōnios g166)
17 Lesa nkalatuma Mwanendi panshi pano, kwambeti omboloshe milandu ya bantu, nsombi kwambeti abapulushe.
For God sent not his sonne into the worlde to condepne the worlde: but that the worlde through him might be saved.
18 “Namuntu washoma muli Yesu, Lesa nteshi akamomboloshe, nsombi abo balabulunga kushoma balomboloshewanga kendi, pakwinga nkabalashomonga Mwana wa Lesa enka.
He that beleveth on him shall not be condepned. But he that beleveth not is condempned all redy be cause he beleveth not in the name of the only 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 condempnacion: that light is come into the worlde and the me loved darcknes more then light because their dedes were evill.
20 Uliyense lenshinga byaipa, wapatana ne mumuni. Kayi nkakute kwisa patuba, kutina incito shakendi shaipa kwambeti ngashibonekela.
For every man that evyll doeth hateth the light: nether commeth to light lest his dedes shuld be reproved.
21 Nsombi balenshinga byancine ncine bakute kwisa patuba, kayi bya kwinsa byabo bikute kwinshibiketi labinshi mwakunyumfwila Lesa.”
But he that doth truth commeth to the light that his dedes might be knowen how that they are wrought in God.
22 Panyuma pakendi, Yesu ne beshikwiya bakendi balaya ku cimpansha caYudeya. Walekala nabo kwacindi citali kopeloko kabatisha bantu.
After these thinges cam Iesus and his disciples into the Iewes londe and ther he haunted with them and baptised.
23 Neye Yohane walikubatisha ku Ainoni pepi ne Salimu, pakwinga ekwalikuba menshi angi. Bantu balikushika kulyendiye, walikubabatisha.
And Iohn also baptised in Enon besydes Salim because ther was moche water there and they came and were baptised.
24 Pacindici Yohane walikatana uwalwa mujele.
For Iohn was not yet cast into preson.
25 Beshikwiya bambi baYohane balatatika kutototekeshana ne Muyuda naumbi shamwambo wakuliswepesha.
And ther arose a questio bitwene Iohns disciples and the Iewes about purifiynge.
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 sayde vnto him: Rabbi he that was with the beyonde Iordan to whom thou barest witnes. Beholde the same baptyseth and all me come to him.
27 Yohane walakumbuleti, “Muntu nkela kutambula kantu kalikonse na Lesa liya kumupa.
Iohn answered and sayde: a man can receave no thinge at all except it be geve him fro heaven.
28 Amwe ngamumbela bukamboni pakwinga mwalanyumfwa ndalambeti, Ntame Mupulushi Walaiwa, nsombi njame walatumwa pantangu pakendi.
Ye youre selves are witnesses how that I sayde: I am not Christ but 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 bryde is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome which stondeth by and heareth him reioyseth greately of the brydgromes voyce. Tis my ioye is fulfilled.
30 Usa welela kuba ne bulemu bunene bwapita bwakame.”
He must increace: and I muste decreace.
31 “Weshikufuma kwilu wapita bonse. Weshikufuma panshi pano niwapanshi pano, kayi ukute kwamba bya panshi pano. Weshikufuma kwilu wapita bonse.
He that commeth from an hye is above all: He that is of ye erth is of the erth and speaketh of the erth. He that cometh from heaven is above all
32 Nendi uyu lenshinga bukamboni pa bintu mbyalabona ne kunyumfwa, nsombi paliya ukute kushoma maswi akendi.
and what he hath sene and hearde: that he testifieth: but no man receaveth his testimonye.
33 Nsombi muntu ashoma maswi akendi, ukute kulesheti Lesa ukute kukwanilisha malayano akendi.
How be it he that hath receaved hys testimonye hath set to his seale that God is true.
34 Uyo Lesa ngwalatuma, ukute kwamba maswi a Lesa, pakwinga Lesa ukute kumupa Mushimu Uswepa wabula cipimo.
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the wordes of God. For God geveth not the sprete by measure.
35 Bata bamusuni mwanabo, kayi babika bintu byonse mumakasa akendi.
The father loveth the sonne and hath geven all thinges into his honde.
36 Muntu lashomonga mwanoyo, ukute buyumi butapu. Nsombi lakananga kushoma mwanoyo, nteshi akabe nebuyumi, neco bukalu bwa Lesa buli palyendiye cindi conse.” (aiōnios g166)
He that beleveth on the sonne hath everlastynge lyfe: and he that beleveth not the sonne shall not se lyfe but the wrathe of God abydeth on him. (aiōnios g166)
