Yohana 3
1 Pakhuva pale nu Falisayo ovikhela ngiwa Nikodemo, paninie na vafumbwe vavakhegi va Vayahudi.
And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name 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.”
this one came to Him by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we have known that You have come from God—a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that You do, if God may not 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, if anyone may not be born from above, he is not able to 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 is a man able to be born, being old? Is he able to enter into the womb of his mother a second time, and to 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, if anyone may not be born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of God;
6 Ekhekholiwe nu mbele khya mbele, ne khekholiwe khu Mepo khwa mepo.
that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Mulekhe okhosyiga pakhuva nekhavavolile, vinogiwa okhokholiwa akhasekhe akhavele.'
You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
8 Emepu yikula khwakhwoni okhuyinogwa ne savoti ya yene mukhuyipolekha, pakhuva samukhweliwa ukhuwikhuma khuwi luta. Voyelevo ehali eyakholiwe nu mepo.
the Spirit blows where [that] One wills, and you hear [that] One’s voice, but you have not known from where [that] One comes, and to where [that] One goes; thus is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
9 Unikodemo akhanda, nu khunchova, “Imbombo inchi nchiwesekhana ndeti?”
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
10 U Yesu akhanda, “Uveve ve ndogonchi vava Israeli, pakhuva sunchimanyile imbombo inchi?
Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?
11 Lweli, lweli, nikhokhovula, khela ekhetu khemanyile nemivele nukholola. Pakhuva samukhwopelela emivele gweto.
Truly, truly, I say to you, what We have known We speak, and what We have seen We testify, and you do not receive Our testimony;
12 Inave nevavalile imbombo incha pakhelunga samukhwedekha, yamuwesya okhwedekha ningavavole imbombo incha khukwanya?
if I spoke to you of the earthly things, and you do not believe, how, if I will speak to you of the heavenly things, will you believe?
13 Pakhuva asikholi oya togile khukwanya pakhuva khukwanya pakhuva umwene oyoakhikhile, oswambe va Adamu.
And no one has gone up to Heaven, except He who came down out of Heaven—the Son of Man who 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, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up,
that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous 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 the only begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Pakhuva u Nguluve sakhasukhe oswambe pakhelunga ili akhege ekhelunga, khukhuta ekhelunga khepone okhogendela omwene.
For God did not send His Son into the world that He may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through Him;
18 Oyikhomwamini sakhakhegiwe. Oyosikhomwamini tayali akhegiwe pukhuva salwaminile ilitawa elwa swambe va Nguluve.
he who is believing in Him is not judged, but he who is not believing has been judged 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 judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;
20 Pakhuva oyivomba imbivi ikholovipela alomuli pukhuva sigenda ndomuli idwada ukhuta imbombo inchamwene yanchivonekha.
for everyone who is doing wicked things hates the light, and does not come into the light, that his works may not be detected;
21 Pakhuva, oyivomba elweli ikhwincha ndomuli ni mbombo incha mwene nchivonekha ukhuta nchilimbogolofu wa Nguluve.
but he who is doing the truth comes into the light, that his works may be revealed, that in God they are having been worked.”
22 Akhasekhe akha, o Yesu paninie na vakongi vamwene vakhaluta khukhelunga khwa Yudea. Okwa atolile akhasekhe paninie na vene alevooncha.
After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
23 Pakhuva u Yohana alekhwoncha khukhukhwu Ainea igati mu Salim pakhuva pale na magasi mingi avanu valekhwincha khumwene nu khwonchiwa,
and John was also immersing in Aenon, near to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being immersed—
24 pakhuva Oyohana sakhadendeliwa igati.
for John was not yet cast into the prison—
25 Pakhuva savalekhwelevana avakongi Yohana na Vayahudi ukhokhusu ishelekhe incha lwesayo.
there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] 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 who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you testified, behold, this One is immersing, and all are coming to Him.”
27 U Yohana akhanda akhata umunu siwesya ukhwupelela ekhenu khyokhyoni pekhuva apeviwe ukhukhuma khwa Nguluve.
John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given him from Heaven;
28 Yumwe nemivele gwenyo mwinchova ukhuta, 'one si Klisiti', pakhuva ya pene nekhanchovile, 'nesukhiwa khuvolongolo khumwene.'
you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been 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 who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing Him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy has been fulfilled.
30 Inogiwa okhotoga, nayone ninogiwa okhwikha.
It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
31 Ovikhuma khukyanya, alekhukyanya khugoni. Umwene uvakhelunga ikhuma mukhelunga puinchova imbombo incha khelunga. Ovikhuma khwa Nguluve alekhukyanya khugoni.
He who is coming from above is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaks; He who is coming from Heaven is above all.
32 Omwene veinchova agalolile nukhupulekha, Pakhuva asipali ovikhwopelela emivele gwa mwene.
And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;
33 Umwene uvikhwopela emivele egwa mwene edikhe ukhu u Nguluve ve lweli.
he who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;
34 Pakhuva avasukhiwe nu Nguluve inchova amamenyu aga Nguluve. Pakhuva sikhupa Umepo khwa khupima.
for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure;
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 who is believing in the Son has continuous life; and he who is not believing the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (aiōnios g166)
