Yohana 3
1 Basi kulikuwa na Farisayo ambaye jina lake Nikodemo, mmoja wa wajumbe wa baraza la Wayahudi.
There was now a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus name to him, a ruler of the Jews.
2 Mtu huyu alimwendea Bwana Yesu usiku na akamwambia, “Rabi, tunajua ya kuwa u mwalimu kutoka kwa Mungu, kwa maana hakuna mtu awezaye kutenda ishara hizi zote Mungu asipokuwa pamoja naye.”
He came to (*k*) (Him *N(K)O*) by night and said to Him; Rabbi, we know that from God You have come a teacher; no [one] for is able these signs to do that You yourself do, only unless shall be God with him.
3 Yesu akamjibu, “Amini, amini, mtu hawezi kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu asipozaliwa mara ya pili.”
Answered (*k*) Jesus and said to him; Amen Amen I say to you; only unless someone shall be born from above, not he is able to see the kingdom of God.
4 Nikodemo akasema,” Mtu anawezaje kuzaliwa akiwa mzee? Hawezi kuingia tumboni mwa mama yake mara ya pili na kuzaliwa, je anaweza?”
Says to Him Nicodemus; How is able a man to be born old being? Not is he able into the womb of the mother of him a second time to enter and to be born?
5 Yesu akajibu, “Amini, amini mtu sipozaliwa kwa maji na kwa Roho, hawezi kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu.
Answered (*ko*) Jesus; Amen Amen I say to you, only unless someone shall be born of water and of [the] Spirit, not he is able to enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Kilichozaliwa kwa mwili ni mwili, na kilichozaliwa kwa Roho ni roho.
That born of the flesh flesh is, and that born of the Spirit spirit is.
7 Usishangae kwa sababu nilikuwambia, 'ni lazima kuzaliwa mara ya pili.'
Not may do wonder that I said to you; It is necessary for you [all] to be born from above.
8 Upepo huvuma popote upendapo na sauti yake mwaisikia, lakini hamjui utokako wala uendako. Ndivyo ilivyo hali ya kila aliyezaliwa na roho.
The wind where it wishes blows, and the sound of it You hear but not you know from where it comes and where it goes; thus is everyone who born of the Spirit.
9 Nikodemo akajibu, kwa kusema, “Mambo haya yawezekanaje?”
Answered Nicodemus and said to Him; How are able these things to be?
10 Yesu akamjibu, “Wewe u mwalimu wa Israeli, hata hauyajui mambo haya?
Answered (*k*) Jesus and said to him; You yourself are the teacher of Israel and these things not know?
11 Amini, amini, nakuambia, kile tunachokifahamu twakishuhudia kwa kile tulichokiona. Lakini hampokei ushuhuda wetu.
Amen Amen I say to you that what we know we speak and what we have seen we bear witness to, and the witness of us not you people receive.
12 Kama nimewambia mambo ya hapa duniani na hamuamini, mtawezaje kuamini kama nikiwambia mambo ya mbinguni?
If the [things] earthly I have told you and not you believe, how if I may tell to you the [things] heavenly will you believe?
13 Maana hakuna aliyepanda juu kutoka mbinguni isipokuwa yeye aliyeshuka, Mwana wa Adamu.
And no [one] has gone up into heaven only except the [One] out of heaven having come down, the Son of Man (who is being in heaven. *KO*)
14 Kama vile Musa alivyomwinua nyoka jangwani, vivyo hivyo Mwana wa Adamu lazima ainuliwe,
And even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus to be lifted up it behooves the Son of Man,
so that everyone who is believing (in Him *N(k)O*) (not may perish but *K*) may have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
16 Kwa maana jinsi hii Mungu aliupenda ulimwengu, kwamba akamtoa mwanae wa pekee, ili kwamba mtu yeyote amwaminiye asiangamie bali awe na uzima wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
Thus for loved God the world, that the Son (of him *ko*) the only begotten He gave, so that everyone who is believing in Him not may perish but may have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 Kwa sababu Mungu hakumtuma mwanae duniani ili auhukumu ulimwengu, bali kwamba ulimwengu uokolewe katika yeye.
Not for sent God the Son (of Him *ko*) into the world that He may judge the world, but that may be saved the world through Him.
18 Amwaminiye Yeye hatahukumiwa. Yeye asiyemwamini tayari ameshahukumiwa kwa sababu hajaliamini jina la Mwana pekee wa Mungu.
The [one] believing on Him not is judged; the [one] but not believing already has been judged because not he has believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Hii ndiyo sababu ya hukumu, ya kwamba nuru imekuja ulimwenguni, lakini wanadamu wakapenda giza zaidi ya nuru kwa sababu matendo yao yalikuwa maovu.
This now is the judgement that the Light has come into the world, and loved men rather the darkness than the Light; were for of them evil the deeds.
20 kila mtu atendaye mabaya huichukia nuru wala haji nuruni ili matendo yake yasije yakawekwa wazi.
Everyone for evil practicing hates the Light and not comes to the Light so that not may be exposed the works of him;
21 Lakini, yeye atendaye kweli huja kwenye nuru ili matendo yake yaonekane kwamba yametendwa kwa utiifu wa Mungu.
the [one] however practicing the truth comes to the Light that may be manifest his works that in God have been done.
22 Baada ya haya, Yesu pamoja na wanafunzi walienda katika nchi ya Yudea. Huko alitumia muda pamoja nao na alikuwa akibatiza.
After these things came Jesus and the disciples of Him into the Judean land, and there He was staying with them and was baptizing.
23 Sasa Yohana pia alikuwa akibatiza huko Ainea karibu na Salim maana kulikuwa na maji mengi pale. Watu walikuwa wakija kwake na kubatizwa,
Was now also (*no*) John baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because waters many were there. and they were coming and were being baptized;
24 kwa kuwa Yohana alikuwa hajatupwa gerezani.
Not yet for were cast into the prison John.
25 Kisha palitokea mabishano kati ya wanafunzi wa Yohana na Myahudi kuhusu sikukuuu za utakaso.
Arose then a debate among the disciples of John with ([a certain] Jew *N(K)O*) about purification.
26 Wakaenda kwa Yohana wakamwambia, “Rabi, yeye uliyekuwa naye ng'ambo ya Mto Yorodani, yeye uliyeshuhudia habari zake, tazama, anabatiza na wote wanaenda wanamfuata.”
And they came to John and said to him; Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you yourself have borne witness, behold He baptizes, and all are coming to Him.
27 Yohana akajibu mtu hawezi kupokea kitu chochote isipokuwa kama amepewa kutoka mbinguni.
Answered John and said; Nothing is able a man to receive (and not *N(k)O*) (one *no*) only unless it shall be given to him from heaven.
28 Ninyi wenyewe mwashuhudia kuwa nalisema kuwa, 'mimi sio Kristo', badala yake nilisema, 'nimetumwa mbele yake.'
Yourselves you yourselves to me bear witness that I said (that: *n*) (I myself *o*) Not am I myself the Christ, but for sent I am before Him.
29 Yeye aliye na bibi arusi ni bwana harusi. Sasa rafiki wa bwana arusi, asimamaye na kusikiliza hufurahia sana kwa sababu ya sauti ya bwana arusi. Hii sasa ni furaha yangu iliyotimilika.
The [one] having the bride [the] bridegroom is. the now friend of the bridegroom, the [one] having stood and listening for him, with joy rejoices because of the voice of the bridegroom. This therefore the joy of mine has been fulfilled.
30 Anapaswa kuzidi, nami napaswa kupungua.
Him it behooves to increase, me myself however to decrease.
31 Yeye atokaye juu, yu juu ya yote. Yeye aliye wa ulimwengu anatoka ulimwenguni na huongea mambo ya ki ulimwengu. Yeye atokaye mbinguni yuko juu ya yote.
The [One] from above coming above all is. The [one] being from the earth from the earth is and from the earth speaks. The [One] from heaven coming above all is;
32 Yeye hushuhudia yale aliyoyaona na kuyasikia, lakini hakuna apokeaye ushuhuda wake.
(and *k*) What He has seen and heard, this He testifies, and the testimony of Him no [one] receives.
33 Yeye aliye pokea ushuhuda wake amehakikisha kuwa Mungu ni mkweli.
The [one] having received His testimony has set his seal that God true is.
34 Kwa sababu yeye aliyetumwa na Mungu huongea maneno ya Mungu. Kwa kuwa hampi Roho kwa kipimo.
He whom for sent God, the declarations of God speaks; not for by measure He gives (God *KO*) the Spirit.
35 Baba humpenda Mwana na amempa vitu vyote mikononi mwake.
The Father loves the Son and all things has given into the hand of Him.
36 Yeye amwaminiye Mwana anao uzima wa milele, lakini kwa yeye asiye mtii Mwana hatauona uzima, bali ghadhabu ya Mungu hushikamana juu yake. (aiōnios g166)
The [one] believing in the Son has life eternal; the [one] however not obeying the Son not will behold life, but the wrath of God abides on him. (aiōnios g166)
