Joon 3
1 Jehudi noksong phansiitte Nikodimas ngeh ih Pharisi mih wasiit angta.
And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 Pheesiit Jisu reeni wang ano li wangta, [Chuupha, seng ih jat ehi an Rangte ih kaat thuk ho rah nyootte warah ah. Rangte heh damdoh lah angka bah an reelu paatjaajih loong ah o uh tajen reeka.
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 Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Ngah ih amiisak tiit ah baat hala; o uh weedop tup lah eka bah Rangte hasong ah mabah uh tachoh tupka ang ah.”
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 “Mihak ah mamah ma we ngaak dongtup ah?” Nikodimas ih chengta. “Amiimi dobah heh nuh mong nah tami ngaak nopka eno dopnyi tami doptup ka!”
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 “Ngah ih amiisak tiit ah baat hala,” Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Ju nyia Chiiala nah latupka bah Rangte Hasong nah o uh tajen nop wangka.
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 Mina ah hansi ni henuh hewah ih dongtup ha; enoothong chiiala lam dobah Chiiala nawa ih tup ah.
that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Sen loong ah weedop tup jaatjaat etheng ngeh ih baatrum kohaano nak paatja an.
You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
8 Pong ah madi pongtheng ah erah di pongla; sen ih pong huuk ah ba chaat han, enoothong manawa pongwang hala nyia maako pong kala erah an ih tajatko. Erah raangtaan ih o mina Chiiala nawa ih tup ha mirep erah likhiik ang ah.”
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 “Emah mamah mi ang ah?” Nikodimas ih chengta.
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
10 Jisu ih ngaakbaatta. “Ijirel ni nyootte elong laangma ang uh, eno an ih erah tanih jatko?
Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?
11 Ngah ih amiisak tiit ah baat hala: Seng ih marah jat hi erah jengli nyia marah tup hi erah ah baat hi, erabah uh sen loong ah ih o ih uh seng jengkhaap ah tathang kan.
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 Arah mongrep dowa jaatrep tiit baat rumhala ah sen ih tahanpi ri; eno, Rangmong hasong tiit baat rumhala tang ah, mamah ma ih hanpi an?
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 Eno rangmong ni wasiit taan uh maang thaak wangka, rangmong nawa ra taha Mina Sah ah luulu ba.”
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 Phisaang hani Moses ih jaanmeen nawa hoon arah pu ah thong ni toonbotta, erah likhiik ih Mina Sah ah toonbot jaatjaat ih ah,
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 Rangte ih mongrep ah erah than ih minchanha Hesah wasiit luulu ah thoonkota, tiimnge liidi o mina ih heh hanpi ah erah tatiika erah nang ebah lathoon roidong ah ba choh ah. (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 Rangte ih Hesah ah arah mongrep dandeete tadaap jataha, erah nang ih khopui pang suh daapkaat taha.
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 O mina ih Hesah ah hanpiiha erah tadande ka ang ah; enoothong o mina ih lahanpiika erabah jen dande eta, tiimnge liidi heh ih Rangte Sah heh luulu ah tahanpiika.
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 Dande ah emamah ih dande kaat ah; weephaak ah mongrep ni phaak e ra hala, enoothong mina loong ah ih weephaak nang ih laamang asuh ese choha, tiimnge liidi neng reeraang ah ethih.
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 O mina ethih mokala erah mih ah ih weephaak ah echiik eha eno weephaak ni tawangra, tiimnge liidi neng ethih reeraang loong ah noisok suh tanook rumka.
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 Enoothong o mina ih amiisak moot ah mokala erah loong ah ba weephaak adoh thok haano heh reeraangta ah Rangte jeng chaatchaat ih reeta ngeh ih weephaak ah ih noisok rum ah.
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 Erah lilih, Jisu nyia heliphante loong ah Judia hadaang ko ih karumta, erah ni Jisu neng damdi chomroe saapoot roongtong ano juutem thuk rumta.
After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
23 Aenon ni ju ah hantek ang kano, Joon ih uh erah hah ni juutem rumta, erah hah ah Salim dowa ih haloh tah angta. Miloong ah heh reeni karumta, eno Joon ih ju ah tem ih rumta. (
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 Erah langla Joon phaatak ni maangsak kaadi.)
for John was not yet cast into the prison—
25 Joon liphante loong dowa mararah ah Jehudi damdi neng banlam juusaakaat thoidi daanmui rumta.
there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
26 Erah thoidi Joon reeni wangrum ano liiwang rumta, [Nyootte, Jordan ju saadongko adi an damdi angta wah ah dokthun thaak uh, an ih kabaattu warah ah? Heh ih amadi juutem rumha, eno loongtang heh reeni karumla!]
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 Joon ih ngaakbaat rumta, [O suh uh Rangte ih lakoka bah tiim uh tachoka.
John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given him from Heaven;
28 Ngah ih baatrum taha nga haaki ah sen loong ah, ‘Ngah Kristo tah angkang, enoothong heh ngah ni ngah ban kaat thuk halang.’
you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been sent before Him;
29 Jaaro suh nookte jaalah ah heteenuh kapte jaaro ah raangtaan ih; eno jaalah kapte warah reeni chapla joonte loong ah heh root ah japchaat rum ano eroon ela. Nga tenroon ah emamah ih ang ah.
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 Jisu ah nga nang ih elong jaatjaat ang ah ngah ehin.]
It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
31 O khothung nawa ra hala ah loongtang nang ih elongthoon. O arah hah nawa dongla erabah arah hah raangtaan eno heh ih bah arah hatoh hadaang tiit baat ah, enoothong o rangmong nawa ra hala erabah loongtang nang ih echoong ni.
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 Heh ih tiimjaat tupta nyia chaatta ah baat ha, erabah uh heh tiitkhaap ah o ih uh takapka.
And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;
33 Enoothong o ih heh tiitkhaap ah kap eha erah dowa ih jattheng Rangte ah amiisak ju.
he who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;
34 Rangte ih marah wasiit daapjah hala heh Rangte jeng jengla, tiimnge liidi heh suh Rangte ih Chiiala thoontang koha.
for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure;
35 Hewah ih Hesah ah rapne ih minchan thoidi jirep ah heh chaan hephaan khui ni thiinkoha.
the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand;
36 O ih Hesah ah hanpi eha erah taang ni lathoon roidong ah jeela; Hesah jeng laboichaatte loong asuh bah roidong tajeeka, erah nang ebah Rangte tenkhat khui nah cham ah. (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)
