Yohanis 3
1 Hambu atahori esa mia partei agama Farisi, naran Nikodemus. Eni, atahori Yahudi ra meser monaen esa.
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 Lao esa, ana nema tetembaꞌ nandaa no Yesus. Boe ma ana nae, “Ama Meser! Hai bubꞌuluꞌ oi, Lamatualain mana denu Papa fo munori hai. Huu manadadꞌi-manaseliꞌ fo Papa taoꞌ ra naa, ratudꞌu bukti oi, Lamatualain mana fee koasa naa neu Papa. Mete ma nda taꞌo naa sa, na, tantu manadadꞌi-manaseliꞌ naa nda dadꞌi sa.”
The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Yesus nataa nae, “Tebꞌe! Ma Au ae ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: mete ma atahori nda nenebonggi baliꞌ sa, na, ana nda dadꞌi Lamatualain atahorin sa.”
Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Boe ma Nikodemus natane nae, “Taꞌo bee fo atahori bisa nenebonggiꞌ onaꞌ naa, mete ma ana naꞌamoko ena!? Ana nda bisa baliꞌ lao ka ruan nisiꞌ maman tein rala neu, fo bonggi seluꞌ e sa. Nda bisa sa, to!?”
Nicodemus saith 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 Yesus nataa nae, “Tebꞌe! Te Au ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: atahori musi nenebonggiꞌ no oe fo dadꞌi meuꞌ, ma nenebonggiꞌ no dula-daleꞌ a fo dadꞌi atahori feuꞌ. No taꞌo naa, dei fo ana bisa dadꞌi Lamatualain atahorin.
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Huu atahori nenebonggiꞌ mia atahori, te atahori dula-dalen nenebonggi feuꞌ mia Lamatualain Dula-dalen.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Afiꞌ tabanganga mete ma Au ae, ‘Hei musi nenebonggi feuꞌ, fo hambu masodꞌa feuꞌ.’
Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again.
8 Ata taꞌasasamaꞌ no anin. Huu anin humbu tungga hihiin. Hita rena muun, te nda bubꞌuluꞌ ana mia bee nema, ma nae bee neu sa boe. Basa atahori mana nenebonggi feuꞌ mia Lamatualain Dula-dalen o onaꞌ naa boe. Huu ata bisa tita Lamatualain Dula-dalen tao atahori dadꞌi feuꞌ ena, mae hita nda tahine tae taꞌo bee de dalaꞌ naa bisa dadꞌi.”
The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the sound of it, but canst not tell where it cometh from, and where it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Basa ma Nikodemus natane nae, “Taꞌo bee de bisa dadꞌi taꞌo naa?”
Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
10 Yesus nataa nae, “We, aꞌa. Aꞌa dadꞌi atahori Israꞌel ra meser monaen ena. Taꞌo bee de aꞌa nda nahine dalaꞌ ia ra sa?
Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Au ufadꞌe tetebꞌes. Naa, hai, naeni Au o atahori nggara, mihine dalaꞌ ia ra. Huu hai dadꞌi sakasii soꞌal dala-dalaꞌ fo hai mita no mata mara ena. Te hei nda simbo no maloleꞌ hai oꞌola mara sa.
Verily, verily, I say to thee, We speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 Hei nda nau mimihere leleꞌ Au ufadꞌe dala-dalaꞌ manadadꞌiꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia sa. Saa fai mete ma Au ufadꞌe soꞌal dala-dala manadadꞌi sia lalai a. Tantu hei nda mimihere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ sa boe!
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you heavenly things?
13 Nda hambu atahori esa sa boe hene neu nataa mbali Lamatuaꞌ sia lalai a sa. Akaꞌ Au, naeni Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, mana onda nema mia E.
And no man hath ascended to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.
14 Fai maꞌahulun sia mamana rouꞌ, baꞌi Musa londa mengge riti esa sia hau ata, fo basa atahori mete rita e, fo ara hambu masodꞌaꞌ. Dalaꞌ onaꞌ naa boe o musi dadꞌi fee Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia. Dei fo ara rae londa doko-doko au sia hau ata,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
That whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Huu Lamatualain sue-lai naseliꞌ basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia. Naeni de Ana denu Au, Ana isen ia, fo basa atahori mana ramahere neu Au nda saranggaa mia Lamatualain sa. No taꞌo naa, ara hambu masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ nda etu ma nda basa sa. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Naa! Lamatualain nda denu Au, Anan ia, uma sia raefafoꞌ ia fo nggero-furi atahori huku-dokin sa. Te Ana denu Au fee masoi-masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori mia sala-kilu nara.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him may be saved.
18 Lamatualain nda huku-doki atahori mana ramahere neu Au sa. Te Ana naꞌetu memaꞌ huku-dokiꞌ fee neu atahori nda mana namahere neu Au sa, huu atahori naa nda namahere neu Au sa, naeni Lamatualain Ana isen ia.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Onaꞌ taꞌo ia: Lamatualain haitua manggareloꞌ a nema fo naronda sia raefafoꞌ ia. Te atahori hiiꞌ a rasodꞌa sia maꞌahatuꞌ a. Ara nda hii rasodꞌa sia manggareloꞌ a sa, huu sira tataon nara nda maloleꞌ sa. Naa de Lamatualain nae huku-doki se.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 Huu basa atahori nda mana tao maloleꞌ ra sa, binci manggareloꞌ naa. Ara nda hii manggareloꞌ a naronda sia se sa, naa fo manggareloꞌ a afiꞌ soi natudꞌu tatao deꞌulaka nara.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 Te atahori mana tao tungga ndoo-tetuꞌ a, ara rema fo manggareloꞌ a naronda sia se. Huu manggareloꞌ a natudꞌu nae, sira tao tungga Lamatualain hihii-nanaun.”
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22 Basa naa ma, Yesus no ana mana tungga nara lao hela kota Yerusalem, de leo raꞌatataaꞌ sia nusa Yudea. Ara sarani atahori sia naa.
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 Leleꞌ naa, Herodes se nda feꞌe tao Yohanis bui rala neu sa. Ma Yohanis o sarani atahori sia kambo Ainon, deka kambo Salim, huu oe mataꞌ hetar sia naa. Boe ma atahori akaꞌ rema sia Yohanis fo ana sarani se.
And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Naa, agama Yahudi hambu adꞌat esa fo tao nemeu aoꞌ, dei fo ara feꞌe bisa hule-oꞌe ena. Sia naa, hambu atahori Yahudi esa nareresi no Yohanis ana mana tungga nara soꞌal dalaꞌ naa.
Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 Basa ma ara rema risiꞌ Yohanis de rafadꞌe rae, “Ama Meser! Musunedꞌa do hokoꞌ, Atahori fo mana sangga papa mia loe Yarden bobꞌoan, fo papa mae, Eni, Kristus? Ana o sarani atahori boe! Nda hambu rema sia hai sa ena! Huu basa atahori akaꞌ reu sia E!”
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 Yohanis nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Atahori nda bisa tao rala saa-saa sa boe, mete ma Lamatualain sia sorga nda soi dalaꞌ fee ne sa.
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Hei rena au ufadꞌe relo-relo ena ae, ‘Au ia, nda Kristus fo hita tahaniꞌ a sa. Te Lamatualain denu au uma uꞌuhuluꞌ, fo soi dalaꞌ fee neu Kristus. Taꞌoꞌ a naa ena!’
Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 Conto, tou mana nae saoꞌ a naꞌena inaꞌ fo nae saoꞌ a. Te eni sakasii na, mana nambariiꞌ no eni, leleꞌ rena tou mana nae saoꞌ ola-olaꞌ na ralan namahoꞌo. Yesus naa, onaꞌ tou mana nae saoꞌ esa. Boe ma au ia, onaꞌ Eni sakasii na. Naeni de leleꞌ ia rala ngga namahoꞌo nala seli.
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 Pantin na, Eni musi bau dadꞌi atahori manaseliꞌ nakandoo, ma au bau umukura ukundoo dadꞌi atahori ana dikiꞌ.”
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 Yohanis tute oꞌolan nae, “Ana onda nema mia Lamatualain sia lalai, naeni de Ana monaeꞌ lenaꞌ mia basaꞌ e. Te au uma miaꞌ a raefafoꞌ ia, naeni de au onaꞌ basa atahori mana sia raefafoꞌ ia. Au olaꞌ soꞌal dala mana dadꞌi tungga-tungga fai sia raefafoꞌ ia. Te mana onda nema mia Lamatualain sia lalai a naa, Eni manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ basa e.
He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 Ana nafadꞌe soꞌal saa fo Ana nita ma rena ena. Te atahori nda simbo no malole saa fo Ana nafadꞌeꞌ a sa.
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 Mete ma atahori simbo saa fo Atahori mana nema mia ataꞌ naa nefadꞌen, naa o natudꞌu bukti boe oi, namahere Lamatualain oꞌolan naa, tebꞌe.
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 Atahori fo Lamatualain haitua nemaꞌ a, nafadꞌe Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin. Te Lamatualain fee Dula-dalen nda mana etu mana basaꞌ sa neu Eni ena.
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for to him God giveth not the Spirit by measure.
35 Huu Amaꞌ sia sorga sue nala Anan seli. Ma Ana fee basa-bꞌasaꞌ e neu Anaꞌ naa liman ena.
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 Ma atahori mana namahere neu Anan, ara hambu masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ nda mana basaꞌ sa. Te atahori nda mana namahere neu E sa, ma nda tao tungga hehelu-fufulin sa, ara nda hambu masodꞌaꞌ naa sa, huu Lamatualain akaꞌ natudꞌuꞌ a nasan fo huku-doki se.” (aiōnios g166)
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
