John 3
1 Pharisee mi amin Nicodemus kiti Judah teho'u lamkai khat aum e.
Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews.
2 Amapa chu jankhat Yeshua henga ahungin Yeshua jah'a, “Houhil, keiho dinga Pathen in nahin sol ahi kaheuve; melchihna kidang hijat nabol hohi Pathen'a kon nahi aphot chetna ahitai,” ati.
He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him.
3 Yeshuan adonbut'in “Tahbeh a kaseipeh nahi, nangma napen kit loule Pathen lenggam namu lou ding ahi,” ati.
Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus chun datmo tah in, “Mi ateh nunga iti anu naobu a lelut kit'a hung peng kit thei ding ham?” ati.
Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?
5 Yeshuan adonbut'in, “Thutah chu ahileh, twiya le lhagaova apenlou le koima Pathen lenggam alut thei poi.
Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.
6 Mihem tahsaphe a penga chu tahsa a hinna bou ahin, ahivangin Lhagao Thenga penga chu Lhagaova hinna chang ahi.
That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit.
7 Hijeh chun nangma napen kit ding ahi, kati chu datmo hih'in.
Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.
8 Huikhu anopna lam lam'a anungin, nangin agin najan, ahivangin hoiya hungkon hoilam ajot nahepoi, chutobang chun Lhagaova pengho jong nangin nahethei poi,” ati.
The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.
9 Chuin Nicodemus chun ajah'a “Hiche ho chu iti hithei ding ham?” ati.
And Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for these things to be?
10 Yeshuan adonbut in, “Nangla Judah te houhil pipu khat nahin, hiche hohi iti nahet thei lou ham?
And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?
11 Tahbeh a kaseipeh nahi, keihon kahet kaseiyu ahin, kamu kahettohsah'u ahi; ahivangin kahettohsah'u hi nanghon nasang pouve.
Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.
12 Keiman leiset thil ho kaseiya natahsan lou leh, van'a thil ho thudol seileng iti natahsan ding ham?
If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?
13 Koima van'a akal'in, ahung kile khapoi; ahivangin Mihem Chapa vang chu van'a kona hung kumlha ahi.
And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.
14 Chuleh Mose in gamthip'a thing'a sum-eng gul adop sang banga chu, Mihem Chapa kidom sang ding ahi.
As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:
So that whoever has faith may have in him eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Ajeh chu Pathen in hibanga hi vannoi angailut ahin, koi hijongleh Ama tahsan chan chu mangthah louva tonsot hinna anei na dingin, aneisun achapa changkhat chu apetan ahi. (aiōnios g166)
For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Pathen in achapa vannoiya ahinsol chu, vannoi huhhing'a aumna ding joh ahibouve.
God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.
18 Koi hile ama tahsan chan chu, achunga thutanna umlou ahitai; ahivangin koi hijongleh atahsanlou vang chu, Pathen chapa changkhat chu atahsan loujeh a achunga thutanna umsa ahitai.
The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.
19 Chule thutanna chu hiche hi ahi; Pathen vah chu vannoiya ahungin, ahivangin mihon vah sangin, achonnau aphatlou jeh in muthim joh adeijouvin ahi.
And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.
20 Michonphalou jousen vah athet'un, nai jong anailut ngam pouve, ajeh chu achonset nau hinphong doh khante tin akichauve.
The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen.
21 Ahivangin thudih'a chonphat bol ho vang chun Pathen lungdei abol'u chu mihon amuthei na dingin vah'a aum jinguve.” Tuilutsah John in Yeshua achoisang
But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.
22 Chuin Yeshua leh seijuiten Jerusalem adalhauvin, Judea gam thinglhang lam ajontauve; chukom a chun phat chomkhat a umkhom'un, miho baptize achansah jin ahi.
After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism.
23 Hiche pet chun Tuilutsah John injong Salim koma Aenon mun'a twi ninglhing tah'a aum jeh chun, miho baptize achansah jin, chule aphat seh in, miho jong baptize chang dingin ahung jingun ahi.
Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism.
24 Hichu John songkul'a akikhum masang ahi.
For at this time John had not been put into prison.
25 Hichun kisuhtheng na thudol'a John seijui ho leh Judah mi phabep kikah'a kinelna anasoh in ahi.
Then a question came up between John's disciples and a Jew about washing.
26 Hijeh chun John seijui ho ahenga ahung'un, ajah'a “Rabbi (hichu houhil tina ahi), Jordan luigala nakimupi a ama Messiah ahi tia nahettoh sah pa jong chun miho baptize achansah jin ahi. Chuleh mi tampi eiho henga hungtalouvin ama henga ache tauve,” atiuvin ahi.
And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.
27 Chuin John in adonbut'in “Pathen in vana kona apehlou chu, koima ima achangthei poi.
And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.
28 Keiman nahenguva kasei chu, nangho ahetoh'ah nahiuve; keima Christa kahipoi, ama lampi semtoh dinga hung kahi bouve.
You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.
29 Hiche hi ahi, mou kichenpia chu moulang ahin; chuleh moulang jolpa vang chu moulang koma adin'a moulang kitep na ajah chu akipana ahijenge. Hijeh chun ama lolhin na chun keima kipana dim'a eikoi ahi.
He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.
30 Ama chu khangtou touding, chule keima kemsuh suh ding kahi. Vana hungkon Yeshua
He has to become greater while I become less.
31 Ama chunga hungkon ahin, mijouse sanga chung nungjo ahi; Eiho leiset'a kon ihiuvin, leiset thu iseiyu ahi, ahivangin ama chu chunga kon ahijeh'in mi jouse chunga achungnungpen ahi.
He who comes from heaven is greater than all others: he who comes from earth is of the earth, and of the earth are his words: he who comes from heaven is over all.
32 Aman amu leh ajah chu ahettohsah ahi, ahivangin ama hettohsah chu koiman asangpoi.
He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.
33 Hijeh chun koi hileh, athu hettohsah tahsan'a kisan chun Pathen dihtah chu apomdet ahitai.
He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true.
34 Ama chu Pathen hinsol ahi, Aman Pathen thutah aseiye, ajeh chu ama Pathen lhagao dimset'a kipe ahi.
For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure.
35 Pa chun Achapa angailun, chule ima jouse ama khut'a apetai.
The Father has love for the Son and has put all things into his hands.
36 Hijeh chun, koi hijongleh Pathen tahsan'a chun tonsot hinna anei ahitai. Pathen chapa thungailou vang chu tonsot hinna changlouva Pathen lunghan na thutan chu achunga chu ding ahi,” ati. (aiōnios g166)
He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him. (aiōnios g166)
