Jon 3
1 Hoka Jius vdwa rigvnv nyi go aminv Nikodemas vnamgo dooto, hv Parisis haalung lokv.
NOW there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 Ayu yupgolo hv Jisu gvlo vngto okv ninyia tvvkato, “Tamsarnv, ngonu chindu Pwknvyarnv nam tamsarnvbv vla vngmupvnv. Yvvka no gv rinam vbv lamrwpadubv rinam a rinyu mare Pwknvyarnv ngv ninyia lvkobv dooming gvma bolo.”
this man came to Jesus in the night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.
3 Jisu mirwksito, “Ngo nam jvjvbv mindunv; Lvnyibv kuu bvngdi kuma bolo yvvka Pwknvyarnv gv Karv nga kaapa kumare.”
Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 “Nyi ngv nyigabv rikunv oguaingbv bvngdi kodu kubv?” Nikodemas tvvkato. “Hv lvkodv bvngdi kodu kubv vla anv gv namam lo aala nyuku mare!”
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 “Ngo jvjvbv nam mindunv,” Jisu mirwkto. “Yvvka Pwknvyarnv gv Karv lo vdwloka aanyu mare isi okv Darwknv Dow lokv bvnglin kuma dvdvlo.
Jesus replied, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Nyi v anvabu lokv bvngnam v nyi amarbv ridunv, vbvritola Darwknv Dow lokv bvngnam v dow bv ridunv.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Ngo gv nonu mvnwngnga kuu bvngdi kolaka vnam a no lamrwpamabvka.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 Doori v ogolo ridubv mvngdudw hoka ridu; nonu ho gv adua tvvpa nyumdo, vbvritola nonuno chima v ogo lokv aapvnvdw okv ogolo vngdu nvdw. Dow lo kuu bvngnam v mvnwng v ho apiabv ridunv.”
The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the sound of it, but knowest not from whence it cometh, nor whither it goeth: just so is every one who is born of the Spirit.
9 Nikodemas tvvkato, “Si oguaingbv rinyu dunv?”
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jisu mirwkto, “No Israel gv kainv tamsar nvgobv ridu, vbvritola no sum chima dunvre?
Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Ngo jvjvbv nam mindunv: ngonu ogugo chindudw hum mindu okv ogugo kaadudw hum minpa jido, vbvritola nonuno yvvka ngonugv doin a naarwk sinv kaama.
Verily, verity, I tell thee, That what we know we speak, and what we have seen we affirm; and ye receive not our testimony.
12 Vdwlo ngo nyiamooku gv lvgabv nam minji renyi no nga tvjwngmanv; oguaingbv no tvjwng dukubv vdwlo ngo nyidomooku gv lvgabv nam minji rikunyi?
If I have told you of earthly things, and ye believe not, how will you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 Nyia Kuunyilo nyidomooku tolokv inv mvngchik, ho lvvya yvvka nyidomooku ao tolo chaakwnv kaama.”
Though no man hath ascended into heaven, except he that descended from heaven, that Son of man the I am in heaven.
14 Chukrimooku lo Moses gv daachwng tabwa svngtung ao golo timpvto, vbvdvdvbv Nyia Kuunyilo ngamka aolo timpv rungre,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, in like manner must the Son of man be lifted up:
that every one who believeth on him may not perish, but have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
16 Pwknvyarnv nyiamooku a achialvbv pakla ninyigv Kuunyilo akin mvngchik a jitoku, vkvlvgabv yvvdw ninyia mvngjwng rinv v simare vbvritola turbwngnv singnam a paare. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 Pwknvyarnv ninyigv Kuunyilo nga nyiamooku so gv nyi vdwa jwngkadaka yanv gubv imu ma, vbvritola ringyanv gubv imu pvnv.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world by him might be saved.
18 Yvvdw Kuunyilo nga mvngjwng rekunv bunua jwngkadaka kumare; vbvritola yvbunudw mvngjwng marinv ho vdwa jwngkadaka roku, vkvlvgabv vbolo hv bunu Pwknvyarnv gv Kuunyilo akin a mvngjwng kuma.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is already under condemnation, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Jwngkadaka ngv svbv rireku: loung ngv nyiamooku so aatoku, vbvritola nyi vdwv loung nga kaiyabv kanv yanga mvngbiu yatoku, ogulvgavbolo bunugv rinam mvngnam v alvmatoku.
Now this is the condemnation, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.
20 Yvvdw alvmanv nga ridunv hv loung nga kaanwng madunv, okv lounglo aamadunv, ogulvgavbolo ninyibunugv alvmabv rinam a kaatam nwngma dunv.
For every one whose practices are foul hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his actions may not be brought to conviction.
21 Vbvritola yvvdw jvjv rungnv nga ridunv, hv lounglo aadunv, ninyibunugv Pwknvyarnv gvlo mvnglwkkaalwk bv rinam a kaatam dubv vla.
But he who practices the truth, cometh to the light, that his actions may be evident, as being done for God.
22 So kochingbv Jisu okv ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwv Judia mookubv vngtoku, hoka bunua lvkobv achukgo relwk tvkula okv nyi vdwa baptisma naamu toku.
After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; and there he abode with them, and baptised.
23 Hoka Jon ka Ainon nampum lo Salem vnam lokv adumako lo baptisma jidungla reto, ogulvgavbolo ho mooku hoka isi v kaigo dookunam lvgabv nyi vdwv Jon gvlo baptisma jiku dubv vla aatoku, hv bunua hoka baptisma jitoku.
Now John also was baptising at Enon, near to Salem, for there were many streams of water there: and they came, and were baptised.
24 So si Jonnyi patwk lvkma dwbv ripvnv.
For as yet John was not cast into prison.
25 Jon gv lvbwlaksu megonv darpudvbv sokbwngnam lvkwngbv Jius nyi gonyi larmi surapto.
Then a dispute arose between the disciples of John and the Jews with regard to purification.
26 Vkvlvgabv bunu Jon gvlo vngtoku okv minto, “Tamsarnv, no mvngpa dukudw Jordan takdv gv doonyi chaaku kyamgv nam lvkobv rinv nyi, okv yvvgv lvgabv no mindudw? Alvdo, hv nyi vdwa baptisma jiduku okv nyi mvnwngngv hvkv gvlo vngdung duku!”
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, lo! this man baptiseth, and all men come to him.
27 Jon mirwkto, “Yvvka ogugo doogv nyuma vdwlo Pwknvyarnv hum ninyi jima dvdvlo.
John answered and said, A man cannot assume any thing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Nonu ngoogv minam ha tvvnvkaanv pingko nyi vdwv, ngo minto ‘ngo Kristo ma, vbvritola ngam ninyia vngcho yamu pvnv.’
Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, but that I am sent before him.
29 Nyimv nyamjibongv paapum gvjinv gvbv ridu; vbvritola paapumgvjinvgv ajin v, dakdula tvrianv, himpu yadu vdwlo hv paapumgvjinvgv gaam a tvvpa rikudw. Svbv dvdvbv ngo atubogv mvngpuv punya dukunv.
It is the bridegroom, who possesses the bride: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing by and hearing him, rejoiceth exceedingly at the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 Hv kaiyaya rungre, ngo miang yaya rungre.”
He must grow great, but I diminutive.
31 Hv nyido mooku tolokv inv mvnwngnga kaiyadunv. Hv yvvdw Siching sokvdw Siching so gvbv ridunv okv Sichingmooku lvgabv mindu, vbvritola hv yvvdw nyido mooku tolokv idunv mvnwngnga kaiyanv.
He that cometh from above is above all: he whose origin is from earth is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: he who cometh from heaven is above all.
32 Hv minpado ogugo hv kaapvdw okv tvvpvdw, vbvrijvka yvvka ninyigv doin ha torwk sinv kaama.
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; though no man receiveth his testimony.
33 Vbvritola yvvdw ninyigv doin ha naarwk sidunv hv Pwknvyarnv jvjv rungnv ngv vla chindu.
He that receiveth his testimony hath avouched that God is true.
34 Yvvnyi Pwknvyarnv vngmu pvdw hv Pwknvyarnv gv gaam a mindu, ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv ninyigv Darwknv Dow ha ninyi gvlo jinya chekala jito.
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God hath not given the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 Abu ninyigv Kuunyilo nga pakdu okv ogumvnwng nga ninyigv laak lo jilwk toku.
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 Yvvdw Kuunyilo nga mvngjwng dunv turbwngnv singnam ha paare; yvvdw Kuunyilo gv minam ha tvvma dunv hv singnam a paamare, vbvritola Pwknvyarnv gv mvritririt jiku arwng lo doore. (aiōnios g166)
He that believeth on the Son hath life eternal: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth upon him. (aiōnios g166)
