John 3
1 NOW there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Uugwa ai ukoli nu Afarisayo nai iza ilina nilakwe Nikodemo, ung'wi nua anyampala ni i anza nila Ayahudi.
2 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.
Muntu uyu ai umuhangile uYesu utiku nu kumuila, “Rabi, kulingile kina wi ng'walimu kupuma kung'wa Itunda, ku ndogoelyo kutili u muntu nu humile kituma izi yihi Itunda aze wikutili palung'wi nu ng'wenso.”
3 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.
uYesu akamusukiilya, “Huiila huiila, shsnga uhumile u muntu kingila mu utemi nuang'wa Itunda anga wahite kutugwa nkua a kabiili.”
4 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?
uNikodemo akaligitya, “Umuntu uhumile uli kutugwa aze mnyampala? Shanga uhumile kingila munda ang'wa nyinya nuakwe nkua a kabiili nu kutugwa, itii uhuile uli?”
5 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.
uYesu akasukiilya, “Huiila huiila muntu anga wahite kutugwa ku mazi nu ku Ng'wau Ng'welu, shanga uhumile kingila mu utemi nuang'wa Itunda.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Ni kitugilwe ku muili inge muili, hangi nikitugilwe ku nkolo inge nkolo.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Leka ku kuilwa kunsoko aza nakuilaa, inge kusinja kutugwa nkua aka biili.
8 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.
Ung'wega wikunkaa pihi ku uloilwe nu luli nu lakwe mulijaa, kuiti shanga mulingile kuupumiie nuko ku ulongoe. Uugwa ni yili i hali a kila nutugilwe nu Ng'wau Ng'welu.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
uNikodemo akasukiilya, ku kuligitya, “Makani aya ahumikile uli?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
uYesu akasukiilya, “u ewe wi ng'walimu nua Israeli shanga ulingile ga ni makani aya?
11 Verily, verity, I tell thee, That what we know we speak, and what we have seen we affirm; and ye receive not our testimony.
Huiila, huiila, nu kuuila, iko ni kukilingile kuuki kuiila ku iko ni kuki hengile. kuiti shanga mukusingiilya u ukuili nu itu.
12 If I have told you of earthly things, and ye believe not, how will you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
Anga ize namuilaa imakani aya apa mihi shanga mu huiie, muhumile uli kuhuiila anga numuile imakani na kilunde?
13 Though no man hath ascended into heaven, except he that descended from heaven, that Son of man the I am in heaven.
Ndogoelyo kutili nai unankie migulya kupuma kilunde kwaala ng'wenso nai usimile, uNg'wana wang'wa Adamu.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, in like manner must the Son of man be lifted up:
Anga uu uMusa nai umiyansue inzoka mi bambazi, u uu uNg'wa nu ang'wa Adamu kusinja wanyansulwe,
iti kina ihi ni ika muhuiila alije u upanga nua kali na kali. (aiōnios g166)
16 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)
Ku ndogoelyo iyi Itunda ai u uloelwe u unkumbigulu, kina akamupumya u ng'wana nu akwe nu ing'wene, iti kina muntu wihi nu muhuiie waleke kulimila ila watule nu upanga nua kali na kali. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world by him might be saved.
Ku nsoko Itunda shanga ai umulagiiye ung'wana nu akwe mihi iti aulamule u unkumbigulu, ila kina u unkumbigulu ugunike mung'wa akwe.
18 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.
Nu muhuiie nuanso shanga ukulamulwa. Nuanso ni shanga umuhuiie yakondaa walamulwaa ku nsoko shanga ulihuiie i lina nila Ng'wana wing'wene nuang'wa Itunda.
19 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.
Iyi yiyo nsoko a ulamulwa, nia kina u welu ai uzile mu unkumbigulu, kuiti iana adamu akalowa kiti ikilo a welu ku nsoko ntendo ni ao ai yatulaa ya ubii.
20 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.
Kila muntu nuitumaa u ubii wibipilwaa u welu ni iti shanga uzile mu welu iti kina intendo niakwe ileke kuikwa ng'walyi.
21 But he who practices the truth, cometh to the light, that his actions may be evident, as being done for God.
Kuiti, nuanso nuitumaa i tai wizaa mu welu iti intendo niakwe igeeleke kina yitumilwe ku ikulyo ni lang'wa Itunda.
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; and there he abode with them, and baptised.
Ze akilaa aya, uYesu palung'wi ni amanyisigwa akalongola mihi a Yudea. Kung'wanso ai utumie itungo palung'wi ni enso hangi ai watulaa ukoja.
23 Now John also was baptising at Enon, near to Salem, for there were many streams of water there: and they came, and were baptised.
Itungili ga nu uYohana ai watulaa ukoja uko ku Ainea pakupi ni Salam ndogoelyo ai akoli ni mazi idu pang'wanso. Antu ai atulaa akupembya kitalakwe nu kogigwa,
24 For as yet John was not cast into prison.
ku nsoko uYohana ai watulaa wakili kugung'wa mu kadulumu.
25 Then a dispute arose between the disciples of John and the Jews with regard to purification.
Uugwa ai ipumie wikungumi mu amanyisigwa ang'wa Yohana ni Ayahudi kutula siku kuu nia weligwa.
26 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.
Akalongola kung'wa Yohana akamuila, “Rabi, nuanso naza mine nu ng'wenso kitumbi nila mongo nua Yordani, Ng'wenso nai ukuiie i nkani ni akwe, goza, ukoja ni ihi akulongola akumutyata.”
27 John answered and said, A man cannot assume any thing, except it be given him from heaven.
uYohana akasukiilya umuntu shanga uhumile kusingiilya kintu kihi kwaala anga ize winkiiigwe kupuma kilunde.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, but that I am sent before him.
uNyenye akola mikuiila kina aindigitilye kina, 'unene shanga ni kilisto; badala akwe ai ndigitilye, 'ndagiigwe ntongeela akwe.'
29 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.
Nuanso nuine nu mutiziila ingi mukulu nua winga. Itungili umuhumbamuya nuang'wa mukulu nua winga, nuimikaa nu kutegeelya wiloeelya lukulu kunsoko a luli nula mukulu nua winga. Uwu itungili ingi ulowa nu ane ni ukondaniie.
30 He must grow great, but I diminutive.
Utakiwe kukilinkiila nu nene ntakiwe kukepa.
31 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.
Nuanso nu pembeeye migulya, ukoli migulya a ihi. Nuanso nua unkumbigulu upumiie mu unkumbigulu hangi wiligitya makani a kinya unkumbigulu. Nuanso nupembeeye kilunde ukoli migulya a yihi.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; though no man receiveth his testimony.
Nuanso wikuiila ayo nuihengile nu kigiilya, kuiti kutili nuisingiilya u ukuiili nu akwe.
33 He that receiveth his testimony hath avouched that God is true.
Nuanso nai usingiiye u ukuiili nuakwe ukomaniigwe kina Itunda ingi watai.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God hath not given the Spirit by measure unto him.
Ku nsoko nuanso nai ulagiingwe ni Itunda wiligitya makani ang'wa Itunda. Ku nsoko shanga wiminkiilya uNg'wau ng'welu nua ngele.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
uTata wimulowaa ung'wana hangi uminkiiye i intu yihi mu mikono akwe.
36 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)
Nuanso numuhuiie uNg'wana ukete u upanga nua kali na kali, Kuiti ku ng'waakwe ni shanga ukumukulya uNg'wana shanga ukuihenga u upanga nua kali na kali, ila ikuo ni lang'wa Itunda liambinkanaa migulya akwe. (aiōnios g166)
