Yooxanaa 3
1 Waxaa jiray nin ka mid ahaa Farrisiinta oo la odhan jiray Nikodemos oo Yuhuudda taliye u ahaa.
Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a leading man among his people.
2 Isagu habeenkuu u yimid Ciise, wuxuuna ku yidhi, Macallimow, waannu og nahay inaad tahay macallin ka yimid Ilaah, waayo, ninna ma samayn karo calaamooyinkan aad samayso haddaan Ilaah la jirin.
This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him, ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one could give such signs as you are giving, unless God were with him.’
3 Ciise ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Runtii, runtii waxaan kugu leeyahay, Qof haddaanu mar kale dhalan, boqortooyadii Ilaah arki kari maayo.
‘In truth I tell you,’ exclaimed Jesus, ‘unless a person is reborn, they cannot see the kingdom of God.’
4 Nikodemos wuxuu ku yidhi, Sidee baa nin mar kale u dhalan karaa isagoo duq ah? Miyuu mar kale uurkii hooyadiis geli karaa oo ka dhalan karaa?
‘How can a person,’ asked Nicodemus, ‘be born when they are old? Can they be born a second time?’
5 Ciise baa ugu jawaabay, Runtii, runtii, waxaan kugu leeyahay, Qof haddaanu ka dhalan biyo iyo Ruuxa, boqortooyadii Ilaah geli kari maayo.
‘In truth I tell you,’ answered Jesus, ‘unless a person owes their birth to water and Spirit, they cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 Waxa jidhka ka dhashaa waa jidh, waxa Ruuxa ka dhashaana waa ruux.
All that owes its birth to human nature is human, and all that owes its birth to the Spirit is spiritual.
7 Ha la yaabin haddaan ku leeyahay, Waa inaad mar kale dhalataan.
Do not wonder at my telling you that you all need to be reborn.
8 Dabayshu way u dhacdaa meeshay doonto, waxaadna maqashaa xiinkeeda, laakiin ma ogid meeshay ka timaado iyo meeshay u kacdo; waa sidaas oo kale qof kasta oo Ruuxa ka dhasha.
The wind blows wherever it wants, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from, or where it goes; it is the same with everyone who owes his birth to the Spirit.’
9 Nikodemos ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Sidee baa waxyaalahaas u noqon karaan?
‘How can that be?’ asked Nicodemus.
10 Markaasaa Ciise u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Ma waxaad tahay macallinka Israa'iil, oo aadan weliba waxyaalahaasna garanayn?
‘What! You a teacher of Israel,’ exclaimed Jesus, ‘and yet do not understand this!
11 Runtii, runtii, waxaan ku leeyahay, Waxaannu naqaan ayaannu ka hadalnaa, oo waxaannu aragnay ayaannu ka marag furnaa, idinkuna maraggayaga ma aqbashaan.
In truth I tell you that we speak of what we know, and state what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our statements.
12 Haddaan wixii dunida idiin sheegay oo aad rumaysan weydeen, sidee baad u rumaysanaysaan haddaan waxa jannada idiin sheego?
If, when I tell you earthly things, you do not believe me, how will you believe me when I tell you of heavenly things?
13 Ninna jannada kor uma tegin, kii jannada ka soo degay maahee, waana Wiilka Aadanaha oo jannada jooga.
No one has ascended to heaven, except him who descended from heaven – the Son of Man himself.
14 Sidii Muuse abeesadii kor ugu qaaday cidlada, sidaasoo kale Wiilka Aadanaha waa in kor loo qaado,
And, as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up;
so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.’ (aiōnios g166)
16 Ilaah intuu dunida jacayl u qabay ayuu siiyey Wiilkiisa keliya oo dhashay in mid kastoo isaga rumaystaa uusan lumin laakiinse uu lahaado nolosha weligeed ah. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Ilaah Wiilka uguma soo dirin dunida inuu xukumo dunida, laakiin wuxuu u soo diray inay dunidu ku badbaaddo isaga.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through him.
18 Kii isaga rumaystaa ma xukumna, laakiinse kii aan isaga rumaysan, hore ayaa loo xukumay, maxaa yeelay, wuxuusan rumaysan magaca Wiilka Ilaah oo keliya oo dhashay.
The person who believes in him escapes condemnation, while the person who does not believe in him is already condemned, because they have not believed in the only Son of God.
19 Kanu waa xukunka, nuurka ayaa dunida yimid, dadkiise waxay nuurkii ka jeclaadeen gudcurka, maxaa yeelay, shuqulladoodu shar bay ahaayeen.
The ground of their condemnation is this, that though the light has come into the world, people preferred the darkness to the light, because their actions were wicked.
20 Nin kastoo shar falaa nuurkuu nebcaadaa, umana yimaado nuurka, si aan shuqulladiisa loogu canaanan.
For the person who lives an evil life hates the light, and will not come to it, fearing that their actions will be exposed;
21 Laakiinse kii runta falaa, nuurkuu yimaadaa si shuqulladiisu u muuqdaan in Ilaah laga sameeyey.
but the person who lives by the truth comes into the light, so it can be clearly seen that God is in all they do.
22 Waxaas dabadeed Ciise iyo xertiisii waxay yimaadeen dalka Yahuudiya, oo meeshaas ayuu iyaga la joogay oo dad ku baabtiisay.
After this, Jesus went with his disciples into the country parts of Judea; and there he stayed with them, and baptized.
23 Yooxanaana wuxuu dad ku baabtiisayay Caynoon oo ku dhow Saalim, waayo, meeshaasu waxay lahayd biyo badan, iyaguna way yimaadeen, waana la baabtiisay.
John, also, was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there were many streams there; and people were constantly coming and being baptized.
24 Waayo, Yooxanaa weli xabsiga laguma tuurin.
(For John had not yet been imprisoned).
25 Sidaa aawadeed waxaa ka dhex kacay Yooxanaa xertiisii iyo nin Yuhuudi ahaa weyddiis oo daahirinta ku saabsan.
Now a discussion arose between some of John’s disciples and a fellow Jew on the subject of purification;
26 Markaasay u yimaadeen Yooxanaa oo ku yidhaahdeen, Macallimow, kii kula jiray Webi Urdun shishadiisa oo aad marag u furtay ayaa dad baabtiisaya, oo dadka oo dhan way u imanayaan.
and the disciples came to John and said, ‘Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, and to whom you have yourself borne testimony – he, also, is baptizing, and everybody is going to him.’
27 Yooxanaa waa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Ninna waxba ma heli karo haddaan jannada laga siin.
John’s answer was – ‘A person can gain nothing but what is given them from heaven.
28 Idinka qudhiinnu markhaatiyaal baad tihiin inaan idhi, Anigu ma ihi Masiixa, laakiin hortiisa ayaa lay soo diray.
You are yourselves witnesses that I said “I am not the Christ,” but “I have been sent before him as a messenger.”
29 Kii aroosadda qabaa waa arooska, laakiin saaxiibka arooska oo ag taagan oo maqla isaga, aad buu ugu farxaa codkii arooska daraaddiis. Sidaa aawadeed farxaddaydu waa dhan tahay.
It is the groom who has the bride; but the groom’s friend, who stands by and listens to him, is filled with joy when he hears the groom’s voice. This joy I have felt to the full.
30 Isagu waa inuu kordho, aniguse waa inaan yaraado.
He must become greater, and I less.’
31 Kii xagga sare ka yimaadaa, dhammaan ayuu ka sarreeyaa; kii dunida ka yimaadaana waa kii dunida, oo wuxuu ka hadlaa dunida. Kii jannada ka yimaadaa, dhammaan ayuu ka sarreeyaa.
He who comes from above is above all others; but a child of earth is earthly, and his teaching is earthly, too. He who comes from heaven is above all others.
32 Wuxuu arkay oo maqlay waxaas ayuu ka marag furaa, ninnana maraggiisa ma aqbalo.
He states what he has seen and what he heard, and yet no one accepts his statement.
33 Kii maraggiisa aqbalay wuxuu xaqiijiyey in Ilaah run yahay.
They who did accept his statement confirm the fact that God is true.
34 Waayo, kii Ilaah soo diray ayaa ereygii Ilaah ku hadla, maxaa yeelay, isagu qiyaas kuma siiyo Ruuxa.
For he whom God sent as his messenger gives us God’s own teaching, for God does not limit the gift of the Spirit.
35 Aabbuhu wuu jecel yahay Wiilka, oo wax walba ayuu gacanta u geliyey.
The Father loves his Son, and has put everything in his hands.
36 Kii Wiilka rumaystaa, wuxuu leeyahay nolosha weligeed ah, kii aan Wiilka rumaysanse, nolosha ma arki doono, laakiin cadhadii Ilaah ayaa ku taal isaga. (aiōnios g166)
The person who believes in the Son has eternal life, while a person who rejects the Son will not even see that life, but remains under God’s displeasure. (aiōnios g166)
