Yone 3
1 Amo esoha, Yu ouligisu dunu afae (Fa: lisi dunu) ea dio amo Nigoudimase, esalebe ba: i.
Now there was a Pharisee whose name was Nicodemus, a Jewish leader.
2 E da gasia, wamowane Yesuma misini, amane sia: i, “La: bai (Olelesu)! Gode da hame fidi ganiaba, Dia da musa: hame ba: su dawa: digima: ne olelesu hamonanebe amo hamomu da hamedela: loba. Amo ninia ba: beba: le, di da Godema asunasi olelesu dunu ninia dawa:”
This man came to Jesus at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher that came from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.”
3 Be Yesu da ema bu adole i, “Na dima dafawane sia: sa! Nowa dunu da bu hame lalelegesea, e da Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou hamedafa ba: mu.”
Jesus replied to him, “Truly, truly, unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nigoudimase fofogadigili bu adole ba: i, “Abolebela: ? Asigilai dunu da habodane bu lalelegema: bela: ? E da ame ea hagomo ganodini bu galuli amo bu lalelegema: bela: ?”
Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?”
5 Yesu E bu adole i, “Na da dima dafawane sia: sa. Dunu e da hanoga amola A: silibuga bu hame lalelegesea, e da Gode Ea Hinadafa Hou amoga heda: mu hamedei.
Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Dunu da eda amola eme, amoga ela hamoiba: le lalelegesea, e da da: i hodo fawane hamosa. Be A: silibu Hadigidafa amoga lalelegesea, e da a: silibuwane ahoanumu.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Dilia huluane da bu lalelegemu da defea, amo Na da sia: beba: le, mae fofogadigima.
Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
8 Fo da hi hanaiba: le hi logoga ahoa. Fo da habodili misi, amola habodili masunu, di hame dawa: Fo ea sia: fawane naba. Dunu ilia da Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala amoga lalelegebeba: le, ilia hou da amo agoane ba: sa.”
The wind blows wherever it wishes; you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Nigoudimase da bu fofogadigili amane adole ba: i, “Amo hou da habodane mahabela: ?”
Nicodemus replied and said to him, “How can these things be?”
10 Yesu da bu adole i, “Defea! Di da mimogo olelesu dunu Isala: ili soge ganodini. Amaiba: le, di abuliba: le amo hou hame dawa: sala: ?”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?
11 Na da dafawane sia: dilima olelesa. Na dawa: su liligi, na siga ba: su liligi, amo fawane na dilima sia: ne iaha. Be dilia huluane amo sia: ne iasu nabimu higasa.
Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak what we know, and we testify about what we have seen. Yet you do not accept our testimony.
12 Na da osobo bagade hou dilima olelebeba: le, dilia da dafawaneyale hame dawa: be. Amaiba: le, Na da Hebene hou dilima olelesea, dilia da habodane dafawaneyale dawa: ma: bela: ?
If I told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
13 Osobo bagade dunu da Hebene sogega hamedafa heda: su. Be Dunu Egefe, E da osobo bagadega gudu sa: i, Hi fawane da Hebene sogega esalebe dunu.
No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
14 Mousese da hemonega dunu hame esalebe hafoga: i wadela: i soge ganodini, sania balasiga hamoi amola ifaga gosagisili, gaguia gadole, bugili, amo hou defele ilia da Dunu Egefe gaguia gadomu.
Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
15 Dunu huluane amo da Dunu Egefe Ea hou dafawaneyale dawa: sea, eso huluane Fifi Ahoanusu lama: ne, amo hou da doaga: mu. (aiōnios g166)
so that all who believe in him may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Bai Gode da osobo bagade fifi asi gala hodole, ilima asigili, Egefe ilima i. Ea sia: dafawaneyale dawa: sea, lalegagusia, eso huluane mae bogole Fifi Ahoanumu. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Gode da osobo bagade dunu huluane ilima se imunusa: fofada: musa: , Egefe hame asunasi. Be dunu huluane gaga: musa: , E da Egefe asunasi dagoi.
For God did not send the Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but in order to save the world through him.
18 Nowa dunu da Gode Egefe dafawaneyale dawa: sea, e da se imunusa: fofada: su hame ba: mu. Be nowa da dafawaneyale hame dawa: sea, e da Yesu Ea Dio dafawaneyale hame dawa: beba: le, se imunusa: fofada: su ba: mu.
He who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is already condemned because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
19 Gode Ea fofada: su da agoane ba: sa. Hadigidafa da osobo bagadega doaga: i dagoi. Be dunu ilia hou da wadela: iba: le, ilia hadigi higale, gasi hanai galebe.
This is the reason for the judgment: The light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.
20 Nowa dunu da wadela: i hou hamosea, e da hadigi higabeba: le, hadigi amoga hame maha. Eno dunu da ea wadela: i hou ba: sa: besa: le, e da hadigiga hame maha.
For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his deeds will not be exposed.
21 Be ida: iwane, moloiwane hamosu dunu, ea hadigi da Godema hamoi amo olelemusa: , e da hadigi amoga maha.”
However, he who practices the truth comes to the light so that it may be plainly seen that his deeds have been done in God.”
22 Amalalu, Yesu amola Ea ado ba: su dunu, ilia da Yudia sogega asili, ouesalu, hanoga fane salasu hou hamonanu.
After this, Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea. There he spent some time with them and baptized.
23 Inone sogebi (amo da Sa: ilaime moilai gadenei) amoga Yone da ba: bodaise hou hamonanu. Bai amo sogebiga, hano bagohame dialebe ba: i. Dunu bagohame da ema doaga: beba: le, e da ili hanoga fane salasu.
Now John was also baptizing in Aenon near to Salim because there was much water there. People were coming to him and were being baptized,
24 (Amo esoha, Yone da se iasu diasu ganodini hame sali.)
for John had not yet been thrown in prison.
25 Yone ea ado ba: su dunu da Yu dunuma sia: ga gegei. Ilia hanoga ulasu sema amoma dawa: beba: le, sia: ga gegei.
Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and a Jew about ceremonial washing.
26 Amalalu, ilia Yonema misini, amane sia: i, “Olelesu! Dunu amo da ali Yodane gusu bega: amoga esalu. Di da Ea hou ninima olelei. Amo da wali ba: bodaise hou hamonanebeba: le, dunu huluane da Ema ahoa!”
They went to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you have testified, look, he is baptizing, and they are all going to him.”
27 Yone da bu adole i “Gode da osobo bagade dunuma hou hame olelei ganiaba, e da gasa bagade hou hame dawa: la: loba.
John replied, “A man cannot receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.
28 Na sia: dilia huluane nabi dagoi. Na amane sia: i, ‘Na da Mesaia hame be E bisili masa: ne, Gode da na asunasi.
You yourselves can testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but instead, 'I have been sent before him.'
29 Uda da uda lamu dunu amo ea uda. Be uda lamu dunu ea na: iyado, e da uda lamu dunu ea sia: nababeba: le, hahawane ba: sa. Amaiba: le, na hahawane hou da nabaiwane diala.
The bride belongs to the bridegroom. Now the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the voice of the bridegroom. This, then, is my joy made complete.
30 Ea mimogo hou da heda: le, amola na hou da gudu sa: imu da defea.”
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 Gadodafa amoga misi dunu da osobo bagade dunu huluane baligisa. Osobo bagade dunu da osobo bagadega esalebeba: le, osobo bagade hou fawane sia: daha. Be Hebene sogega misi dunu da liligi huluane baligisa.
He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks about the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
32 E da Ea ba: su amola Ea nabasu liligi olelesa. Be dunu huluane da Ea sia: hame lalegagusa.
He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.
33 Be nowa dunu Ea sia: dafawane lalegagusia, amo dunu e da Gode Ea hou da dafawanedafa eno dunuma olelesa.
He who has received his testimony has confirmed that God is true.
34 Gode Ea asunasi dunu da Gode Ea sia: fawane olelesa. Bai Gode da Ea A: silibu nabaiwane Ema iaha.
For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God. For he does not give the Spirit by measure.
35 Adadafa da Egefema asigiba: le, Ea gasa bagade hou huludafa Ema ia dagoi.
The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.
36 Nowa da Gode Egefe dafawaneyale dawa: sea, e da eso huluane Fifi Ahoanusu lai dagoi. Be nowa da Gode Egefe Ea sia: hame nabawane hame hamosea, e da eso huluane Fifi Ahoanusu mae lale, Gode Ea ougi se iasu ba: mu agoai galebe!” (aiōnios g166)
He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God stays on him.” (aiōnios g166)
