Yuhana 3
1 Nkon ku Farisawa wa duku lissame Nikodimus, awa di nin tigo nanya kudaru na Yahudawa.
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 Unit une wa dak kitin Yesu nin kitik a woroghe, “Rabbi, tiyiru fe unan dursuzu nanitari unuzu kiti Kutelle, bara na umong wasa asu ukama nilenge imone na udin suze se dei Kutelle di ninghe.”
He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that yoʋ are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that yoʋ are doing unless God is with him.”
3 Yesu kawaghe aworo, “kidegenere andi na imara unit tutung ba, na awasa ayene kipin tigo Kutelle ba.”
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to yoʋ, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nikodimu woroghe, “Ima kuru imaru unit inyizari na amal ti kukune? Na awasa apira liburi nna me imaraghe unba ba, awasa ayinnua?”
Nicodemus said to him, “How can a person be born when he is old? Can he enter the womb of his mother a second time and be born?”
5 Yesu kawa, aworo, “Kidegenere ndin bellu minu, andi na imara unit nanya nmyen nin Ruhu ba, na awasa apira nanya kipin tigo Kutelle ba.”
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to yoʋ, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 Imong ilenge na ina maru nanya kidowo, kidowari, a ilenge na ina maru nanya Ruhu, uruhuari.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Na iwase uzikpu bara na nbellin minu, 'uso gbas ikuru imacu minu tutung.'
Do not be amazed that I said to yoʋ, ‘You must be born again.’
8 Ufunu din ko udu kusari ko na unya udue. Asa ilanza uduwe, nani na iyiru kiti kanga na unuzu ku sa kiti kanga na udin cinu udue ba. Nanere wang unit ulenge na imaraghe nanyan Ruhu”
The wind blows where it wishes. Yoʋ hear the sound of it, but yoʋ do not know where it is coming from or where it is going; so it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
9 Nikodimu kawa, aworo, “Inyizari imon ilele ma yitu nani?”
In response Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?”
10 Yesu kawaghe, aworo, “Fe unan dursuzu nanan Israila, vat nani, na uyinno ilenge imone ba?
Jesus answered him, “Yoʋ are the teacher of Israel, and yoʋ do not understand these things?
11 Kidegenere, tidin belu ilenge imon nati yiru, ti din belu ilenge na tiyene, vat nani na anughe nsere uliru bite ba.
Truly, truly, I say to yoʋ, we speak of what we know, and we testify about what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony.
12 Asa nbelin minu ubelen nimon nle uye a na anung yinna mun ba, ima yinnu inyizari nwa bellin ubelen nimon kitene kutelle?
If I have spoken to you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I speak to you about heavenly things?
13 Na umong nsa ghana kitene kani ba, se dei ulenge na ana tolu unzu kitene kani.
No one has ascended into heaven, except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
14 Nafo na Musa wa ghantin fiyii nanya ntene, nanere wang uso gbas i ghantin Usaun Nnit kitene.
Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
so that everyone who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Bara Kutelle nati usu inyii ulele, amini na ni gono kinin kirum cas, vat nlenge na ayinna ninghe, na ama nanu ba, ama se ulai un saligang. (aiōnios g166)
“For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Na Kutelle natu Gono me nanya nyie ada molu uyie ba, nani uyie nan se utucu unuzume.
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 Ulenge na ayinna ninghe na ima molughe ba. Ulenge na ayinna ninghe ba imal ciughe nca nkul bara na ayinna nin lissan Gono Kutelle ba.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
19 ILenge imonere finu nsharawe, nworu nkanang na dak nanya inyii, anit ani nadi nin su nnsirti a na nkannanghe ba bara na adadumine an sirtiari.
This is the judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
20 Bara vat nlenge na adin su adadu nsirti din su ivira tutung na ama dak kiti nkanangghe ba bara katwa me wa nuzu kanang.
For whoever does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be exposed.
21 Vat nani, ulenge na adin su kidegen ma dak kitin kanang adadu me nan yita fang nyenju tutung inin damun ubun Kutelle unuzu nyinnu nin Kutelle.”
But whoever lives by the truth comes to the light, so that it may be evident that his works have been done in God.”
22 Kimal nani, Yesu nin nono katwa me wa nya udu nmyin Yahudiya. Awa di dandaun kikane ligowe nanghinu acin shinto anit nmyen.
After this Jesus went into the Judean countryside along with his disciples, and he spent some time there with them and baptized.
23 Yuhana tutung wadi nshitu nanite in Ayinon kupo in Salim bara nmyen wadiku gbardang. Anit wa dasu kitime a shinto nani nmyen,
Now John was also baptizing in Aenon near Salem, because there was much water there, and people were coming to him and being baptized.
24 Na iwa di isa tursu Yuhana ku kilari licine ba.
(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
25 Mayardang fita kiyetik nnono katwa in Yuhana nin nkon ku Yahudawaaa in belen nwesu ulau.
Now a discussion arose between the disciples of John and a Jew about purification.
26 I do kiti in Yuhana i woroghe, “Unan dursuzu niyerte, ulenge na ani yita ninfi nleli ugau kurawan urdunghe, ame ulenge na uni su uliru kitene me, yene adin shintu anit nmyen, tutung vat din cinu kiti me.”
So John's disciples came and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with yoʋ beyond the Jordan, about whom yoʋ have testified, behold, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.”
27 Yuhana kawa nani, “Na unit wasa a sere imonmong ba, andi na inaghe unuzu kiti Kutelle ba.
John replied, “A person cannot receive anything unless it is given to him from heaven.
28 Anung nin nati mine wasa ileoyi unanba, nlire na belle. 'Na meghari Kriste ba' nna woro, 'ina tuyi nbun mere.'
You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but rather, ‘I have been sent ahead of him.’
29 Ulenge na adinin wani upese, unan kifu kudanari. Nengene udo tiyom, ulenge na ayisina alanza, asa asu liburi libo kang bara liwui kwanyane. Nengene liburi libo nin nkulo.
He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made full.
30 Uma so gbas ame kpizinku, meng cazin.
He must increase, but I must decrease.”
31 Ulenge na ana dak unuzu kitene, di kinen vat. Ulenge na ana nuzu kutyin kunan kutyinari akuru adin belu nimon kutyin. Ulenge na ana nuzu kitene kani di kitenen koyan.
He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. But he who comes from heaven is above all.
32 Adin su uliru nimon ilenge na ana yene akuru alanza, nani na umon wasa asere uliru me ba.
He testifies to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony.
33 Ulenge na asere uliru me ayinna Kutelle kidegenare.
Whoever does receive his testimony has certified that God is true.
34 Ame ulenge na Kutelle na tughe din bellu uliru Kutelle. Bara na adin guccu uruhu me anin na unin ba.
For he whom God sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without measure.
35 Ucife dinin su Nsaune, amini nani imon vat nacara me.
The Father loves the Son and has put all things in his hand.
36 Ulenge na ayinna nin Saune di nin lai nsali ligang, ame ulenge na ayinna nin Saune ba, ama yenu ulai ba, nani tinana nayi Kutelle sossin litime. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life; rather, the wrath of God remains upon him. (aiōnios g166)
