John 3
1 There was now a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus name to him, a ruler of the Jews.
Kwaiva nemunhu wekuVaFarisi, Nikodhimo riri zita rake, mutungamiriri weVaJudha.
2 He came to (Him *N+KO) by night and said to Him; Rabbi, we know that from God You have come a teacher; no [one] for is able these signs to do that You yourself do, only unless shall be God with him.
Uyu wakauya kuna Jesu usiku, akati kwaari: Rabhi, tinoziva kuti muri Mudzidzisi wakabva kuna Mwari; nokuti hakuna anogona kuita zviratidzo izvi zvamunoita imwi, kana Mwari asinaye.
3 Answered Jesus and said to him; Amen Amen I say to you; only unless someone shall be born from above, not he is able to see the kingdom of God.
Jesu akapindura ndokuti kwaari: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwauri: Kunze kwekuti munhu aberekwa kutsva, haagoni kuona ushe hwaMwari.
4 Says to Him Nicodemus; How is able a man to be born old being? Not is he able into the womb of the mother of him a second time to enter and to be born?
Nikodhimo akati kwaari: Munhu anogona kuberekwa sei ava mukuru? Anogona kupinda rwechipiri mudumbu ramai vake agoberekwa here?
5 Answered Jesus; Amen Amen I say to you, only unless someone shall be born of water and of [the] Spirit, not he is able to enter into the kingdom of God.
Jesu akapindura akati: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwauri: Kana munhu asina kuberekwa nemvura neMweya, haagoni kupinda muushe hwaMwari.
6 That born of the flesh flesh is, and that born of the Spirit spirit is.
Icho chakaberekwa nenyama inyama; nechakaberekwa neMweya, mweya.
7 Not may do wonder that I said to you; It is necessary for you [all] to be born from above.
Usashamisika kuti ndati kwauri: Zvakafanira kuti muberekwe kutsva.
8 The wind where it wishes blows, and the sound of it You hear but not you know from where it comes and where it goes; thus is everyone who born of the Spirit.
Mhepo inovhuvhuta painoda, uye unonzwa inzwi rayo, asi hauzivi painobva nepainoenda; wakadaro wese wakaberekwa neMweya.
9 Answered Nicodemus and said to Him; How are able these things to be?
Nikodhimo akapindura ndokuti kwaari: Zvinhu izvi zvinogona kuitika sei?
10 Answered Jesus and said to him; You yourself are the teacher of Israel and these things not know?
Jesu akapindura, ndokuti kwaari: Iwe uri mudzidzisi waIsraeri, asi haunzwisisi zvinhu izvi here?
11 Amen Amen I say to you that what we know we speak and what we have seen we bear witness to, and the witness of us not you people receive.
Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwauri: Tinotaura zvatinoziva, tichipupura zvatakaona; asi hamugamuchiri uchapupu hwedu.
12 If the [things] earthly I have told you and not you believe, how if I may tell to you the [things] heavenly will you believe?
Kana ndakakuudzai zvinhu zvenyika uye mukasatenda, muchatenda sei kana ndichikuudzai zvinhu zvekudenga?
13 And no [one] has gone up into heaven only except the [One] out of heaven having come down, the Son of Man (who is being in heaven. *KO)
Uye hakuna munhu wakakwira kudenga, kunze kwewakaburuka kudenga, Mwanakomana wemunhu ari kudenga.
14 And even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus to be lifted up it behooves the Son of Man,
Uye Mozisi sezvaakasimudza nyoka murenje, saizvozvowo Mwanakomana wemunhu anofanira kusimudzwa;
15 so that everyone who is believing (in Him *N+kO) (not may perish but *K) may have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
kuti ani nani anotenda maari arege kuparara asi ave neupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
16 Thus for loved God the world, that the Son (of him *ko) the only begotten He gave, so that everyone who is believing in Him not may perish but may have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Nokuti Mwari wakada nyika zvakadai, kuti wakapa Mwanakomana wake wakaberekwa umwe ega, kuti ani nani anotenda kwaari arege kuparara, asi ave neupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
17 Not for sent God the Son (of Him *ko) into the world that He may judge the world, but that may be saved the world through Him.
Nokuti Mwari haana kutuma Mwanakomana wake munyika kuti ape nyika mhosva, asi kuti nyika iponeswe naye.
18 The [one] believing on Him not is judged; the [one] but not believing already has been judged because not he has believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Anotenda kwaari haapiwi mhosva; asi asingatendi watopiwa mhosva, nokuti haana kutenda kuzita reMwanakomana waMwari wakaberekwa umwe ega.
19 This now is the judgement that the Light has come into the world, and loved men rather the darkness than the Light; were for of them evil the deeds.
Uku ndiko kupiwa mhosva, kuti chiedza chakasvika panyika, asi vanhu vakada rima pane chiedza; nokuti mabasa avo akange akaipa.
20 Everyone for evil practicing hates the Light and not comes to the Light so that not may be exposed the works of him;
Nokuti umwe neumwe anoita zvakaipa anovenga chiedza, uye haauyi pachiedza, kuti mabasa ake arege kutsiurwa.
21 the [one] however practicing the truth comes to the Light that may be manifest his works that in God have been done.
Asi anoita chokwadi anouya pachiedza, kuti mabasa ake aratidzwe, kuti akaitwa muna Mwari.
22 After these things came Jesus and the disciples of Him into the Judean land, and there He was staying with them and was baptizing.
Shure kwezvinhu izvi wakauya Jesu nevadzidzi vake munyika yeJudhiya; zvino akagarako navo, uye akabhabhatidza.
23 Was now also John baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because waters many were there. and they were coming and were being baptized;
NaJohwaniwo wakange achibhabhatidza muAinoni pedo neSarimi, nokuti paiva nemvura zhinji ipapo; uye vaiuyapo vachibhabhatidzwa.
24 Not yet for were cast into the prison John.
Nokuti Johwani wakange asati akandwa mutirongo.
25 Arose then a debate among the disciples of John with ([a certain] Jew *N+KO) about purification.
Zvino gakava rikamuka pakati pevamwe vevadzidzi vaJohwani neVaJudha pamusoro pekuchenura.
26 And they came to John and said to him; Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you yourself have borne witness, behold He baptizes, and all are coming to Him.
Zvino vakauya kuna Johwani vakati kwaari: Rabhi, uya waiva nemwi mhiri kwaJoridhani, wamaipupura nezvake, tarirai, iye anobhabhatidza, uye vanouya kwaari vese.
27 Answered John and said; Nothing is able a man to receive (and not *N+kO) (one *no) only unless it shall be given to him from heaven.
Johwani akapindura ndoti: Munhu haagoni kugamuchira chinhu, kunze kwekuti achipiwa kubva kudenga.
28 Yourselves you yourselves to me bear witness that I said (that: *n) (I myself *o) Not am I myself the Christ, but for sent I am before Him.
Imwi momene munopupura nezvangu kuti ndakati: Handisi Kristu ini, asi kuti ndakatumwa mberi kwake.
29 The [one] having the bride [the] bridegroom is. the now friend of the bridegroom, the [one] having stood and listening for him, with joy rejoices because of the voice of the bridegroom. This therefore the joy of mine has been fulfilled.
Uyo ane mwenga muwani; asi shamwari yemuwani, imire ichimunzwa, inofara nemufaro nekuda kwenzwi remuwani. Naizvozvo mufaro wangu uyu wazadziswa.
30 Him it behooves to increase, me myself however to decrease.
Iye anofanira kukura, asi ini kuderedzwa.
31 The [One] from above coming above all is. The [one] being from the earth from the earth is and from the earth speaks. The [One] from heaven coming above all is;
Anobva kumusoro ari pamusoro pezvese. Anobva panyika anobva panyika, uye anotaura achibva panyika; anobva kudenga ari pamusoro pezvese.
32 (and *k) What He has seen and heard, this He testifies, and the testimony of Him no [one] receives.
Uye zvaakaona nezvaakanzwa, ndizvo zvaanopupura; asi hakuna munhu anogamuchira uchapupu hwake.
33 The [one] having received His testimony has set his seal that God true is.
Anogamuchira uchapupu hwake anoisa mucherechedzo kuti Mwari ndewechokwadi.
34 He whom for sent God, the declarations of God speaks; not for by measure He gives (God *KO) the Spirit.
Nokuti uyo Mwari waakatuma, anotaura mashoko aMwari; nokuti Mwari anopa Mweya kwete nechiyero.
35 The Father loves the Son and all things has given into the hand of Him.
Baba vanoda Mwanakomana, uye vakapa zvinhu zvese muruoko rwake.
36 The [one] believing in the Son has life eternal; the [one] however not obeying the Son not will behold life, but the wrath of God abides on him. (aiōnios g166)
Iye anotenda kuMwanakomana ane upenyu husingaperi; asi iye asingatendi kuMwanakomana, haazooni upenyu, asi kutsamwa kwaMwari kunogara pamusoro pake. (aiōnios g166)
