Yuhana 3
1 Nkon ku Farisawa wa duku lissame Nikodimus, awa di nin tigo nanya kudaru na Yahudawa.
Now there was one of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus--a ruler among 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, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher from God; for no one can do these miracles which you 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.”
"In most solemn truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless a man is born anew 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?”
"How is it possible," Nicodemus asked, "for a man to be born when he is old? Can he a second time enter his mother's womb 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.”
"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that unless a man 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.
Whatever has been born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Na iwase uzikpu bara na nbellin minu, 'uso gbas ikuru imacu minu tutung.'
Do not be astonished at my telling you, 'You must all be born anew.'
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 chooses, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is it with every one who has been born of the Spirit."
9 Nikodimu kawa, aworo, “Inyizari imon ilele ma yitu nani?”
"How is all this possible?" asked Nicodemus.
10 Yesu kawaghe, aworo, “Fe unan dursuzu nanan Israila, vat nani, na uyinno ilenge imone ba?
"Are you," replied Jesus, "'the Teacher of Israel,' and yet do you 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.
In most solemn truth I tell you that we speak what we know, and give testimony of that of which we were eye-witnesses, and yet you all reject 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 told you earthly things and none of you believe me, how will you believe me if I tell you of things in Heaven?
13 Na umong nsa ghana kitene kani ba, se dei ulenge na ana tolu unzu kitene kani.
There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose home is in Heaven.
14 Nafo na Musa wa ghantin fiyii nanya ntene, nanere wang uso gbas i ghantin Usaun Nnit kitene.
And just as Moses lifted high the serpent in the Desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
in order that every one who trusts in Him may have the Life of the Ages." (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 so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have the Life of Ages. (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 judge the world, but 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.
He who trusts in Him does not come up for judgement. He who does not trust has already received sentence, because he has not his trust resting on the name of God's only Son.
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.
And this is the test by which men are judged--the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than they loved the Light, because their deeds were wicked.
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 every wrongdoer hates the light, and does not come to the light, for fear his actions should be exposed and condemned.
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 he who does what is honest and right comes to the light, in order that his actions may be plainly shown to 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 and His disciples went into Judaea; and there He made a stay in company 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,
And John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there were many pools of water there; and people came and received baptism.
24 Na iwa di isa tursu Yuhana ku kilari licine ba.
(For John was not yet in prison.)
25 Mayardang fita kiyetik nnono katwa in Yuhana nin nkon ku Yahudawaaa in belen nwesu ulau.
As the result, a discussion having arisen on the part of John's disciples with 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.”
they came to John and reported to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan and to whom you bore testimony is now baptizing, and great numbers of people are resorting to him."
27 Yuhana kawa nani, “Na unit wasa a sere imonmong ba, andi na inaghe unuzu kiti Kutelle ba.
"A man cannot obtain anything," replied John, "unless it has been granted 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 bear witness to my having said, 'I am not the Christ,' but 'I am His appointed forerunner.'
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; and the bridegroom's friend who stands by his side and listens to him, rejoices heartily on account of the bridegroom's happiness. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete.
30 Uma so gbas ame kpizinku, meng cazin.
He must grow greater, but I must grow less.
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 whose origin is from the earth is not only himself from the earth, his teaching also is from the earth. 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.
What He has seen and heard, to that He bears witness; but His testimony no one receives.
33 Ulenge na asere uliru me ayinna Kutelle kidegenare.
Any man who has received His testimony has solemnly declared 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 has sent speaks God's words; for God does not give the Spirit with limitations."
35 Ucife dinin su Nsaune, amini nani imon vat nacara me.
The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything to His hands.
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)
He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's anger remains upon him. (aiōnios g166)
