Jon 3
1 Hoka Jius vdwa rigvnv nyi go aminv Nikodemas vnamgo dooto, hv Parisis haalung lokv.
Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews.
2 Ayu yupgolo hv Jisu gvlo vngto okv ninyia tvvkato, “Tamsarnv, ngonu chindu Pwknvyarnv nam tamsarnvbv vla vngmupvnv. Yvvka no gv rinam vbv lamrwpadubv rinam a rinyu mare Pwknvyarnv ngv ninyia lvkobv dooming gvma bolo.”
He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him.
3 Jisu mirwksito, “Ngo nam jvjvbv mindunv; Lvnyibv kuu bvngdi kuma bolo yvvka Pwknvyarnv gv Karv nga kaapa kumare.”
Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.
4 “Nyi ngv nyigabv rikunv oguaingbv bvngdi kodu kubv?” Nikodemas tvvkato. “Hv lvkodv bvngdi kodu kubv vla anv gv namam lo aala nyuku mare!”
Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?
5 “Ngo jvjvbv nam mindunv,” Jisu mirwkto. “Yvvka Pwknvyarnv gv Karv lo vdwloka aanyu mare isi okv Darwknv Dow lokv bvnglin kuma dvdvlo.
Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.
6 Nyi v anvabu lokv bvngnam v nyi amarbv ridunv, vbvritola Darwknv Dow lokv bvngnam v dow bv ridunv.
That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit.
7 Ngo gv nonu mvnwngnga kuu bvngdi kolaka vnam a no lamrwpamabvka.
Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.
8 Doori v ogolo ridubv mvngdudw hoka ridu; nonu ho gv adua tvvpa nyumdo, vbvritola nonuno chima v ogo lokv aapvnvdw okv ogolo vngdu nvdw. Dow lo kuu bvngnam v mvnwng v ho apiabv ridunv.”
The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.
9 Nikodemas tvvkato, “Si oguaingbv rinyu dunv?”
And Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for these things to be?
10 Jisu mirwkto, “No Israel gv kainv tamsar nvgobv ridu, vbvritola no sum chima dunvre?
And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?
11 Ngo jvjvbv nam mindunv: ngonu ogugo chindudw hum mindu okv ogugo kaadudw hum minpa jido, vbvritola nonuno yvvka ngonugv doin a naarwk sinv kaama.
Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.
12 Vdwlo ngo nyiamooku gv lvgabv nam minji renyi no nga tvjwngmanv; oguaingbv no tvjwng dukubv vdwlo ngo nyidomooku gv lvgabv nam minji rikunyi?
If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?
13 Nyia Kuunyilo nyidomooku tolokv inv mvngchik, ho lvvya yvvka nyidomooku ao tolo chaakwnv kaama.”
And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.
14 Chukrimooku lo Moses gv daachwng tabwa svngtung ao golo timpvto, vbvdvdvbv Nyia Kuunyilo ngamka aolo timpv rungre,
As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:
So that whoever has faith may have in him eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Pwknvyarnv nyiamooku a achialvbv pakla ninyigv Kuunyilo akin mvngchik a jitoku, vkvlvgabv yvvdw ninyia mvngjwng rinv v simare vbvritola turbwngnv singnam a paare. (aiōnios g166)
For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Pwknvyarnv ninyigv Kuunyilo nga nyiamooku so gv nyi vdwa jwngkadaka yanv gubv imu ma, vbvritola ringyanv gubv imu pvnv.
God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.
18 Yvvdw Kuunyilo nga mvngjwng rekunv bunua jwngkadaka kumare; vbvritola yvbunudw mvngjwng marinv ho vdwa jwngkadaka roku, vkvlvgabv vbolo hv bunu Pwknvyarnv gv Kuunyilo akin a mvngjwng kuma.
The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.
19 Jwngkadaka ngv svbv rireku: loung ngv nyiamooku so aatoku, vbvritola nyi vdwv loung nga kaiyabv kanv yanga mvngbiu yatoku, ogulvgavbolo bunugv rinam mvngnam v alvmatoku.
And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.
20 Yvvdw alvmanv nga ridunv hv loung nga kaanwng madunv, okv lounglo aamadunv, ogulvgavbolo ninyibunugv alvmabv rinam a kaatam nwngma dunv.
The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen.
21 Vbvritola yvvdw jvjv rungnv nga ridunv, hv lounglo aadunv, ninyibunugv Pwknvyarnv gvlo mvnglwkkaalwk bv rinam a kaatam dubv vla.
But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.
22 So kochingbv Jisu okv ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwv Judia mookubv vngtoku, hoka bunua lvkobv achukgo relwk tvkula okv nyi vdwa baptisma naamu toku.
After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism.
23 Hoka Jon ka Ainon nampum lo Salem vnam lokv adumako lo baptisma jidungla reto, ogulvgavbolo ho mooku hoka isi v kaigo dookunam lvgabv nyi vdwv Jon gvlo baptisma jiku dubv vla aatoku, hv bunua hoka baptisma jitoku.
Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism.
24 So si Jonnyi patwk lvkma dwbv ripvnv.
For at this time John had not been put into prison.
25 Jon gv lvbwlaksu megonv darpudvbv sokbwngnam lvkwngbv Jius nyi gonyi larmi surapto.
Then a question came up between John's disciples and a Jew about washing.
26 Vkvlvgabv bunu Jon gvlo vngtoku okv minto, “Tamsarnv, no mvngpa dukudw Jordan takdv gv doonyi chaaku kyamgv nam lvkobv rinv nyi, okv yvvgv lvgabv no mindudw? Alvdo, hv nyi vdwa baptisma jiduku okv nyi mvnwngngv hvkv gvlo vngdung duku!”
And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.
27 Jon mirwkto, “Yvvka ogugo doogv nyuma vdwlo Pwknvyarnv hum ninyi jima dvdvlo.
And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.
28 Nonu ngoogv minam ha tvvnvkaanv pingko nyi vdwv, ngo minto ‘ngo Kristo ma, vbvritola ngam ninyia vngcho yamu pvnv.’
You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.
29 Nyimv nyamjibongv paapum gvjinv gvbv ridu; vbvritola paapumgvjinvgv ajin v, dakdula tvrianv, himpu yadu vdwlo hv paapumgvjinvgv gaam a tvvpa rikudw. Svbv dvdvbv ngo atubogv mvngpuv punya dukunv.
He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.
30 Hv kaiyaya rungre, ngo miang yaya rungre.”
He has to become greater while I become less.
31 Hv nyido mooku tolokv inv mvnwngnga kaiyadunv. Hv yvvdw Siching sokvdw Siching so gvbv ridunv okv Sichingmooku lvgabv mindu, vbvritola hv yvvdw nyido mooku tolokv idunv mvnwngnga kaiyanv.
He who comes from heaven is greater than all others: he who comes from earth is of the earth, and of the earth are his words: he who comes from heaven is over all.
32 Hv minpado ogugo hv kaapvdw okv tvvpvdw, vbvrijvka yvvka ninyigv doin ha torwk sinv kaama.
He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.
33 Vbvritola yvvdw ninyigv doin ha naarwk sidunv hv Pwknvyarnv jvjv rungnv ngv vla chindu.
He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true.
34 Yvvnyi Pwknvyarnv vngmu pvdw hv Pwknvyarnv gv gaam a mindu, ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv ninyigv Darwknv Dow ha ninyi gvlo jinya chekala jito.
For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure.
35 Abu ninyigv Kuunyilo nga pakdu okv ogumvnwng nga ninyigv laak lo jilwk toku.
The Father has love for the Son and has put all things into his hands.
36 Yvvdw Kuunyilo nga mvngjwng dunv turbwngnv singnam ha paare; yvvdw Kuunyilo gv minam ha tvvma dunv hv singnam a paamare, vbvritola Pwknvyarnv gv mvritririt jiku arwng lo doore. (aiōnios g166)
He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him. (aiōnios g166)
