John 3
1 There was a man named Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council.
Nkon ku Farisawa wa duku lissame Nikodimus, awa di nin tigo nanya kudaru na Yahudawa.
2 He came at night to where Jesus was and said, “Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God, for nobody could do the miraculous signs you're doing unless God was with him.”
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.”
3 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “Unless you are reborn, you can't experience God's kingdom.”
Yesu kawaghe aworo, “kidegenere andi na imara unit tutung ba, na awasa ayene kipin tigo Kutelle ba.”
4 “How can you be reborn when you're old?” Nicodemus asked. “You can't go back into your mother's womb and be born a second time!”
Nikodimu woroghe, “Ima kuru imaru unit inyizari na amal ti kukune? Na awasa apira liburi nna me imaraghe unba ba, awasa ayinnua?”
5 “I tell you the truth, you can't enter God's kingdom unless you are born of water and the Spirit,” Jesus told him.
Yesu kawa, aworo, “Kidegenere ndin bellu minu, andi na imara unit nanya nmyen nin Ruhu ba, na awasa apira nanya kipin tigo Kutelle ba.”
6 “What's born of the flesh is flesh, and what's born of the Spirit is Spirit.
Imong ilenge na ina maru nanya kidowo, kidowari, a ilenge na ina maru nanya Ruhu, uruhuari.
7 Don't be surprised at my telling you, ‘You must be reborn.’
Na iwase uzikpu bara na nbellin minu, 'uso gbas ikuru imacu minu tutung.'
8 The wind blows wherever it wants, and just as you hear the sound it makes, but don't know where it's coming from or where it's going, that's how it is for everyone who is born of the spirit.”
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”
9 “How is this possible?” Nicodemus asked.
Nikodimu kawa, aworo, “Inyizari imon ilele ma yitu nani?”
10 “You're a famous teacher in Israel, and yet you don't understand such things?” Jesus replied.
Yesu kawaghe, aworo, “Fe unan dursuzu nanan Israila, vat nani, na uyinno ilenge imone ba?
11 “I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know and give evidence regarding what we have seen, but you refuse to accept our testimony.
Kidegenere, tidin belu ilenge imon nati yiru, ti din belu ilenge na tiyene, vat nani na anughe nsere uliru bite ba.
12 If you don't trust what I say when I tell you about earthly things, how would you ever trust what I say if I were to tell you about heavenly things?
Asa nbelin minu ubelen nimon nle uye a na anung yinna mun ba, ima yinnu inyizari nwa bellin ubelen nimon kitene kutelle?
13 No one has gone up to heaven, but the Son of man came down from heaven.
Na umong nsa ghana kitene kani ba, se dei ulenge na ana tolu unzu kitene kani.
14 Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the Son of man must be lifted up,
Nafo na Musa wa ghantin fiyii nanya ntene, nanere wang uso gbas i ghantin Usaun Nnit kitene.
Bara vat na lenge na iyinna ninghe nan se ulai unsali ligang. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God loved the world, and this is how: he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who trusts in him shouldn't die, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
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)
17 God didn't send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Na Kutelle natu Gono me nanya nyie ada molu uyie ba, nani uyie nan se utucu unuzume.
18 Those who trust in him are not condemned, while those who don't trust in him are condemned already because they didn't trust in the one and only Son of God.
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.
19 This is how the decision is made: the light came to the world, but people loved the darkness rather than the light, for their actions were evil.
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.
20 All those who do evil hate the light and don't come into the light, because they don't want their actions to be exposed.
Bara vat nlenge na adin su adadu nsirti din su ivira tutung na ama dak kiti nkanangghe ba bara katwa me wa nuzu kanang.
21 But those who do good come into the light, so that what God accomplishes in them can be revealed.”
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.”
22 After this Jesus and his disciples went into Judea and spent some time with the people, baptizing them.
Kimal nani, Yesu nin nono katwa me wa nya udu nmyin Yahudiya. Awa di dandaun kikane ligowe nanghinu acin shinto anit nmyen.
23 John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water there and people kept coming to be baptized.
Yuhana tutung wadi nshitu nanite in Ayinon kupo in Salim bara nmyen wadiku gbardang. Anit wa dasu kitime a shinto nani nmyen,
24 (This was before John was imprisoned.)
Na iwa di isa tursu Yuhana ku kilari licine ba.
25 An argument developed between John's disciples and a Jew over ceremonial purification.
Mayardang fita kiyetik nnono katwa in Yuhana nin nkon ku Yahudawaaa in belen nwesu ulau.
26 They went to John and told him, “Rabbi, the man you were with on the other side of the Jordan River, the one you testified in support of—see, now he's baptizing, and everyone is going to him!”
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.”
27 “No one receives anything unless they're given it from heaven,” John replied.
Yuhana kawa nani, “Na unit wasa a sere imonmong ba, andi na inaghe unuzu kiti Kutelle ba.
28 “You yourselves can testify that I declared, ‘I'm not the Messiah. I've been sent to prepare his way.’
Anung nin nati mine wasa ileoyi unanba, nlire na belle. 'Na meghari Kriste ba' nna woro, 'ina tuyi nbun mere.'
29 The bridegroom is the one who has the bride! The best man waits, listening for the bridegroom, and is so happy when he hears the bridegroom's voice—in the same way my happiness is now complete.
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.
30 He must become more important, and I must become less important.”
Uma so gbas ame kpizinku, meng cazin.
31 He who comes from above is greater than all; he who comes from the earth belongs to the earth and talks about earthly things. He who comes from heaven is greater than all.
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.
32 He gives evidence about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts what he has to say.
Adin su uliru nimon ilenge na ana yene akuru alanza, nani na umon wasa asere uliru me ba.
33 Yet anyone who accepts what he says confirms that God is truthful.
Ulenge na asere uliru me ayinna Kutelle kidegenare.
34 For the one God sent speaks God's words, because God doesn't restrict the Spirit.
Ame ulenge na Kutelle na tughe din bellu uliru Kutelle. Bara na adin guccu uruhu me anin na unin ba.
35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
Ucife dinin su Nsaune, amini nani imon vat nacara me.
36 Anyone who trusts in the Son has eternal life, but anyone who refuses to trust the Son will not experience eternal life but remains under God's condemnation. (aiōnios g166)
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)
