John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews,
Basi kwajhele ni Farisayo ambajhe lihina lya muene Nikodemo, mmonga wa bhajumbe wa baraza lya bhayahudi.
2 this one came unto him by night, and said to him, 'Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come — a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.'
Munu ojho andotili Bwana Yesu pakilu ni kun'jobhela, “Rabi, tumanyili kujha bhebhe mwalimu kuh'omela kwa K'yara, kwa maana ajhelepi munu jha ibhwesya kubhomba ishara ese syoha sya K'yara isipokujha pamonga ni bhebhe.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;'
Yesu ajibili, “Aminiayi, aminiayi, munu ibhwesyalepi kujhingila mu bhufalme bhwa k'yara kama ahogiliki lepi mara jha pili.”
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 'How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?'
Nikodemo akajobha,” Munu ibhwesya bhuli kuh'ogoleka akajhelayi nseya? Ibhwesya lepi kujhingila mu lileme mwa nyinamunu mara ya pili ni kuhogoleka, je ibhwesya?”
5 Jesus answered, 'Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;
Yesu ajibili, “Aminiayi, aminiayi munu kama ahogoliki lepi kwa masi ni kwa Roho, ibhwesya lepi kujhingila mu bhufalme bhwa K'yara.
6 that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit.
Kyakihogoliki ni mb'ele ni mb'ele, na kyakihogoliki kwa Roho ni roho.
7 'Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above;
Usishangali kwa ndabha nakujobhili, 'ni lazima kuh'ogoleka mara jha pili.'
8 the Spirit where he willeth doth blow, and his voice thou dost hear, but thou hast not known whence he cometh, and whither he goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit.'
Mp'ongo ghwibhuma popoha pa wilonda ni sauti jhiake mukajhipeleka, lakini mumanyilepi kwa wihoma wala kwa wilota. Ndivyo kyajhijhele hali jha kila jhaahogoliki ni roho.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, 'How are these things able to happen?'
Nikodemo ajibili, kwa kujobha, “Mambo agha ghibhwessekana bhuli?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, 'Thou art the teacher of Israel — and these things thou dost not know!
Yesu akan'jibu, “Bhebhe ghwa mwalimu wa Israeli, hata ughamanyi lepi mambo agha?
11 'Verily, verily, I say to thee — What we have known we speak, and what we have seen we testify, and our testimony ye do not receive;
Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikujobhela khela kyatukimanyili tukakishuhudila kwa khela kya tukibhuene. Lakini mwipokela lepi bhushuda bhwa tete.
12 if the earthly things I said to you, and ye do not believe, how, if I shall say to you the heavenly things, will ye believe?
Kama nibhajobhili mambo agha apa pa duniani na mwiamini lepi, mubetakuamini bhuli nikabhajobhilayi mambo gha kumbinguni?
13 and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down — the Son of Man who is in the heaven.
Maana ajhelepi jha akwelili kunani kuhomela kumbinguni isipokujha muene jhaaselili, Mwana ghwa Adamu.
14 'And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up,
Kama vile Musa kya ajhinuili liyoka jangwani, mebhu ni Mwana ghwa Adamu lazima ajhinulibhwayi,
15 that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during, (aiōnios g166)
ili kwamba bhoha bhabhibetakumwamini bhakabhayi uzima bhwa milele. (aiōnios g166)
16 for God did so love the world, that His Son — the only begotten — He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during. (aiōnios g166)
Kwa maana jinsi ejhe K'yara abhuganili bhulimwengu, kwamba akambosya mwanamunu ghwa pekee, ili kwamba munu yeyioha jhaakamwamini asijhangamili bali ajhelayi ni uzima bhwa milele. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;
Kwa ndabha K'yara antumilepi mwanamunu pa dunia ili kubhuhukumu ulimwengu, bali ulimwengu uokolibhwayi kup'etela muene.
18 he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Jhaibetakumwamini muene ibetalepi kuhukumulibhwa. Bhebhe jhaiamini lepi tayari amalikuhukumulibhwa kwa ndabha abelikuliamini lihina lya Mwana pekee ghwa K'yara.
19 'And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;
Ejhe ndo sababu jha hukumu, jha kujha nuru ihidili ulimwengu, lakini bhanadamu bhaganili ngisi zaidi jha nuru kwandabha matendo gha bhene ghajhe maovu.
20 for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected;
kila munu jhaibhomba mabhibhi akayidadila nuru wala ihidalepi mu nuru ili matendo gha muene ghasihidi kubhakibhwa wazi.
21 but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'
Lakini, muene jha ibhomba kweli ihida mu nuru ili matendo gha muene ghabhonekanayi kujha ghabhombibhu kwa utiifu bhwa K'yara.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing;
Baada jha agha, Yesu pamonga ni bhanafunzi bha muene bhakalota mpaka nchi ya Yudea. Okhu atumili muda pamonga nabhu na abatisieghe.
23 and John was also baptizing in Aenon, nigh to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being baptized —
Henu Yohana pia ajhele ibatisya okhu Ainea karibu ni Salim maana kwajhele ni masi mingi pala. Bhanu bhakajha bhihida kwa muene ni kubatisibhwa,
24 for John was not yet cast into the prison —
kwa kujha Yohana ajheasopibhulepi mu ligereza.
25 there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
Kisha ghatokili mabishano kati jha bhanafunzi bha Yohana ni Myahudi kuhusu sikukuu sya utakaso.
26 and they came unto John, and said to him, 'Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou didst testify, lo, this one is baptizing, and all are coming unto him.'
Bhakalota kwa Yohana bhakan'jobhela, “Rabi, muene jhaukajhenaku kwiselya ya kiholo Yorodani, muene ghwashuhudili habari sya muene, langayi, ibatisya ni bhoha bhilota bhakan'kesya.”
27 John answered and said, 'A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven;
Yohana ajibili munu ibhwesyalepi kupokela khenu kyokyoha isipokujha kama apelibhu kuh'omela kumbinguni.
28 ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him;
Mwejhomu mwishuhudila kujha najobhili kujha, 'nene na Kristu lepi', badala jhiake najobhili, 'nitumibhu mbele jha muene.'
29 he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled.
Muene jha ajhe ni bibi arusi ndo bwana arusi. Henu rafiki wa bwana arusi, jhaijhema ni kup'elekesya ifurahibhwa sana kwa ndabha jha sauti jha bwana arusi. Ejhe henu ndo furaha jha nene jha jhitimiliki.
30 'Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less;
Ilondeka kuzidi, nani nilondeka kup'ongola.
31 he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaketh; he who from the heaven is coming is above all.
Muene jha ihoma kunani, ajhele panani pa fyoha. Muene jha ajhele ghwa ulimwengu ihomela kuulimwengu na ilongela mambo gha kiulimwengu. Muene jha ihomela kumbinguni ajhele panani pa ghoha.
32 'And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;
Muene ishuhudila ghala ghaaghabhwene ni kughap'eleka, lakini ajhelepi jhaipokela ushuhuda bhwa mwene.
33 he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;
Muene jha apokili ushuhuda bhwa muene ahakikishi kujha K'yara ndo mkweli.
34 for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;
Kwa ndabha muene jhaatumibhu ni K'yara ilongela malobhi gha K'yara. kwa kujha akampela lepi Roho kwa kip'emu.
35 the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;
Baba akan'gana Mwana na ampelili fenu fyoha mu mabhoko gha muene.
36 he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.' (aiōnios g166)
Muene jha akamwamini Mwana ajhenabhu uzima bhwa milele, lakini kwa muene jha abelikun'tii ibetalepi kubhubhona bhuzima, bali ghadhabu jha K'yara jhikamulana panani pa muene. (aiōnios g166)
