John 3
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
Ama li den pia niyendo ke o yi Nikodema ki tie falisieni, ki go tie Jufinba yudanba siiga yendo.
2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”
O den cua Jesu kani ku ñiagu ki yedi o: Canba ti bani ke a tie ya bangika n ñani U Tienu kani, kelima o bakuli kan fidi ki yaa tiendi han tiendi yaa banciama ne li yaa tie U Tienu n ye leni yua.
3 Jesus answered him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”
Jesu den guani ki yedi o: Imoamoani imoamoani kani n yedi a, yaa nilo n ki mali mi maa panma kan fidi le U Tieenu diema.
4 Nicodemus said to 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?”
Nikodema den guani ki yedi: Nikpelo mo daa, li baa tieni lede yo ban go maa o? Naani li baa tuo wan go guani kua o naa tugu nni wan maa o.
5 Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.
Jesu den guani ki yedi o: Imoamoani imoamoani kani n yedi a, yua n ki mali mi ñima leni U Tienu fuoma yua yaa madi, o kan fidi ki kua U Tienu diema nni.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Ti gbannandi n mali yua kuli pia ti gbannandi yaa miali buolu yo, ama U Tienu fuoma yua n mali yua kuli pia U Tienu fuoma yua miali.
7 Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’
Lan da bagi a, ke n yedi: Kali yin maa mi maapanma.
8 The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Ufaalu figi wun bua naani ke a gba u sagimu ama haa bani wun ñani naankani, haa go bani wun caa naani mo, U Tienu fuoma yua n mali yua moko tie yene.
9 Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”
Nikodema den buali Jesu, laa bonla mo baa tieni lede ki tieni?
10 Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?
Jesu den guani ki yedi o: Fini yua n tie isalele siiga bangikaciamo haa bani laa bonla?
11 Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.
N yedi a yi moamoani ti wangi tin bani yaala leni tin laa yaala, ama yii tuodi ki gaani ti siedi.
12 If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
N ya maadi ki tinga nni bonla ke yii ga li fuuli, li baa ga lede yo, n ya maadi tanpoli bonla maama yin ga li fuuli?
13 No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
O bakuli ki doni tanpoli, li yaa tie yua n ñani tanpoli ki jiidi, lani n tie O joa Bijua yua, n ye tanpoli.
14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
Nani Musa n den joani o kumoanwa mi fanpienma nni maama yeni, kali ban joani Ojoa Bijua moko yeni,
ke yua n daani o kuli n fidi ki baa yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Kelima U Tienu den bua handuna hali boncianla, ki puni o bi ja yenyenga ke yua n daani o kuli n da bodi ama wan baa yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
Kelima U Tienu naa den soani o bi Jua handuna nni ke wan jia handuna buudi ka, ama ke wan faabi handuna.
18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
Yua n daani o kuli bi kan jia o buudi, ama yua n ki daani o wani bi tuodi ki jia o buudi kelima waa daani U Tienu bon ja yenyenga.
19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.
Yaala n baa teni ban jia bi niba ti buudi tie ke mi yenma cua handuna nni, ama bi niba bua li biigili ki ha mi yenma kelima bi tuona bia.
20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
Kelima yua n tiendi yaala n bia kuli o nani mi yenma waa bua ki cua mi yenma kani kelima ojie o tuona n da doagidi.
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
Ama yua n tuuni yi moamoani nni baa cua mi yenma kani kelima o bua o tuona n doagidi, kelima o tuona tie U Tienu yanbuame.
22 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.
Lani n pendi Jesu ieni o hoadikaaba den gedi jude tinga nni, o den ye leni o hoadkaaba likani ki batisi bi niba.
23 John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were baptized;
Jan moko den ye Eno, ya dogu n kuu leni samali ki batisi bi niba, kelima mi ñima den yaba likani, bi niba kuli den kpendi ke o batisi ba
24 for John was not yet thrown into prison.
kelima li sua ke bi daa kuani Jan li kadidieli nni.
25 Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.
Jan hoadikaaba siiga bi tianba den nia leni jufi yendo yaala n tie mi walihanbima bogida po.
26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”
Bi den cua ki yedi Jan: Canba yua n den ye leni a judana kandima po yeni, han den tieni yua yaapo siedi yeni, o batisi bi niba, ke bi niba kuli caa o kani.
27 John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.
Jan den guani ki yedi ba: O nilo kan fidi ki baa li ba, kali U Tienu n den tuodi ki puni o yaala tanpoli po.
28 You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’
Yinba yiba tie n siedinba ke n yedi: Mini ka, tie Kilisiti «lani n tie U Tienu n gandi yua» Ama bi den soani nni o liiga.
29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore my joy is made full.
Yua n die opocaano tie opocaano calo. Ama opocaano calo danli yua n ye o kani ya gbadi opocaano calo nialu, o pali yen mangi hali boncianla, kelima opcaano calo nialu po. Li yaa po n moko pia li pamanli cianli.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Kali wan yaa yabidi n mo min yaa wada.
31 “He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
Yua n ñani tanpoli ki cua cie nilo kuli, yua n tie ki tinga nni yua maadi nani ki tinga nni bonla yaa maama, ama yua n ñani tanpoli cie nilo kuli.
32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
o tiendi siedi wan laa ki go gbadi yaala po, ama nilo ba kuli ki ga o maama.
33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
Yua n ga o siedi saa yi moamoani ke U Tienu tie moamondaano.
34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.
Kelima U Tienu n soani yua maadi U Tienu maama, kelima U Tienu gbieni o, o fuoma yua.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
Baa bua bi Jua ki tieni li bonla kuli bali o nuu nni.
