Yohana 3
1 Pakhuva pale nu Falisayo ovikhela ngiwa Nikodemo, paninie na vafumbwe vavakhegi va Vayahudi.
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 Umunu oyo akhandutile umbakha u Yesu pakelo nukhumbula, “Rabi, tulumanyile ukhuta ulemanyisi ukhukhuma khwa Nguluve, pakhuva asikholi uyiwesya ukhavomba indagelo nchooni incha Nguluve pupaninie numwene.”
The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him.
3 U Yesuakhanda, “Lweli, lweli, umunu siwesya ukhwingela muvotwa ovwa Nguluve angalekhe okhokholiwe mala ya vele.”
Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Unikodemo akhanchova, “Umunu iwesya ndakhekhi okhokholiwa angave igogolo? Siwesya okhwingila igati mulitumbo elwa mama vamwene mala ya vele nu khukholwa, je yiwesekhana?”
Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 U Yesu akhavanda, “Lweli, lweli umunu inave sikholiwa na magasi nu Mepo, siwesya okhwingila muvutwa owa Nguluve.
Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Ekhekholiwe nu mbele khya mbele, ne khekholiwe khu Mepo khwa mepo.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Mulekhe okhosyiga pakhuva nekhavavolile, vinogiwa okhokholiwa akhasekhe akhavele.'
Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again.
8 Emepu yikula khwakhwoni okhuyinogwa ne savoti ya yene mukhuyipolekha, pakhuva samukhweliwa ukhuwikhuma khuwi luta. Voyelevo ehali eyakholiwe nu mepo.
The wind blows where it wants, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Unikodemo akhanda, nu khunchova, “Imbombo inchi nchiwesekhana ndeti?”
Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
10 U Yesu akhanda, “Uveve ve ndogonchi vava Israeli, pakhuva sunchimanyile imbombo inchi?
Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a master of Israel, and know not these things?
11 Lweli, lweli, nikhokhovula, khela ekhetu khemanyile nemivele nukholola. Pakhuva samukhwopelela emivele gweto.
Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness.
12 Inave nevavalile imbombo incha pakhelunga samukhwedekha, yamuwesya okhwedekha ningavavole imbombo incha khukwanya?
If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 Pakhuva asikholi oya togile khukwanya pakhuva khukwanya pakhuva umwene oyoakhikhile, oswambe va Adamu.
And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 Pu yengave ndo Musa uluakhayemikhe enjokha khulijangwa, vovolevole umwaleve va Adamu lasima emenchiwe,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
That whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Pakhuva khunjila eye Unguluve akheganile ekhelunga, khukhuta oswambe va mwene, khukhuta amunu oyikhamwedekha alekhe okhosaga ila ave nu wumi wa sikhu nchooni. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Pakhuva u Nguluve sakhasukhe oswambe pakhelunga ili akhege ekhelunga, khukhuta ekhelunga khepone okhogendela omwene.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 Oyikhomwamini sakhakhegiwe. Oyosikhomwamini tayali akhegiwe pukhuva salwaminile ilitawa elwa swambe va Nguluve.
He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Eye yonjila ya vukhegi, pakhuta olomuli lwinchile nkelunga, pakhuva avanu vakhano gwa ekelo saidi ya olomuli pakhuva imbombo inchavo nchale mu mbivi.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 Pakhuva oyivomba imbivi ikholovipela alomuli pukhuva sigenda ndomuli idwada ukhuta imbombo inchamwene yanchivonekha.
For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 Pakhuva, oyivomba elweli ikhwincha ndomuli ni mbombo incha mwene nchivonekha ukhuta nchilimbogolofu wa Nguluve.
But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.
22 Akhasekhe akha, o Yesu paninie na vakongi vamwene vakhaluta khukhelunga khwa Yudea. Okwa atolile akhasekhe paninie na vene alevooncha.
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 Pakhuva u Yohana alekhwoncha khukhukhwu Ainea igati mu Salim pakhuva pale na magasi mingi avanu valekhwincha khumwene nu khwonchiwa,
And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 pakhuva Oyohana sakhadendeliwa igati.
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Pakhuva savalekhwelevana avakongi Yohana na Vayahudi ukhokhusu ishelekhe incha lwesayo.
Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 Vakhaluta khwa Yohana vakhata, “Rabi, umwene uvekhale nave khumwabo khulo gasi olu Yorodani, uvemukhalolile emivele ni mbombo incha mwene, lola, ikhwoncha vooni viluta vikhukonga.”
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, the same baptizes, and all men come to him.
27 U Yohana akhanda akhata umunu siwesya ukhwupelela ekhenu khyokhyoni pekhuva apeviwe ukhukhuma khwa Nguluve.
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Yumwe nemivele gwenyo mwinchova ukhuta, 'one si Klisiti', pakhuva ya pene nekhanchovile, 'nesukhiwa khuvolongolo khumwene.'
You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 Umwene ovale nu bibi arusi ale mbakha va harusi. Leno olokololwe va mbakha va harusi, oyikhwema nukhupulekhencha imbakha sinchopakhuva khulimenyu elya mbakha va harusi olo lulukhekhelo ulwango olwedikhe.
He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 Inogiwa okhotoga, nayone ninogiwa okhwikha.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 Ovikhuma khukyanya, alekhukyanya khugoni. Umwene uvakhelunga ikhuma mukhelunga puinchova imbombo incha khelunga. Ovikhuma khwa Nguluve alekhukyanya khugoni.
He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he that comes from heaven is above all.
32 Omwene veinchova agalolile nukhupulekha, Pakhuva asipali ovikhwopelela emivele gwa mwene.
And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man receives his testimony.
33 Umwene uvikhwopela emivele egwa mwene edikhe ukhu u Nguluve ve lweli.
He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true.
34 Pakhuva avasukhiwe nu Nguluve inchova amamenyu aga Nguluve. Pakhuva sikhupa Umepo khwa khupima.
For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him.
35 Ubaba aganile oswambe ikhupa vyooni ifilemavokho aga mwene.
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
36 Uvikhomwedekha oswambe ale nu wumi lweli, pakhuva oyosikhi mwedekha sikhovovona awumi, pakhuva uvukalale ovwa Nguluve wikhwibatana nu mwene. (aiōnios g166)
He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God stays on him. (aiōnios g166)
