Yoana 3
1 Mbe aliga alio Farisayo unu lisina lyaye Nikodemo, oumwi.
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewish people.
2 Omunu unu amulubhile Esebhugenyi mungeta namubwila ati, “Ribi, chimenyele kubha uli mutangasha osokele ku Nyamuanga, Kulwejo atalio omunu unu katula okutula ebhibhalikisho bhinu vyona Nyamuanga akalema okubha amwi nage.”
This man came to him at night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."
3 Yesu nasubya ati, “Nichimali, chimali, omunu atakutula okwingila mu bhukama bwa Nyamuanga atebhuwe kwiya kabhili.”
Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."
4 Nikodemo naika ati,” Omunu katula kutiki okwibhulwa alabha mukaluka? atakutula kwingila munda ya nyilamwene olwa kabhili nebhulwa mbe katula?”
Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
5 Yesu nasubya ati, “Nichimali, chimali omunu akalema okwibhulwa kwa manji na kwa Mwoyo, atakutula kwingila mubhukama bwa Nyamuanga.
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Chinu chibhuwe kwo mubhili no mubhili, na chinu chibhuliwe kwo Mwoyo ni mwoyo.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Usigekulugula kwo kubha nakubwiliye, nibhusi husi okwibhulwa kabhili.'
Do not be surprised that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
8 Omuyanga oguyemba wona wona eyo ogwenda no bhulaka bwae omubhugwa, nawe mutakumenya eyo ogusoka neyo oguja. Nikwo kutyo jili bhuli unu ebhuwe no mwoyo.
The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
9 Nikodemo nasubya ati, kwo kwaika, “Emisango jinu ejikolekana kutiki?”
Nicodemus answered and said to him, "How can these things be?"
10 Yesu nasubya ati, “Awe ni mwiigisha wa Israeli, nolwo otakumenya emisango jinu?
Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
11 Nichimali, chimali nakubwila ati, chiliya echoechimenya chachibhambaliye ku chiliya echoechilola. Mbe mutakulamila obhubhambasi bweswe.
Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, but you do not accept our testimony.
12 Alabha nabhabwila emisango ja kuchalo namutakwikilisha, omutula kutiki okwikilisha alabha nabhabwila emisango mulwile?
If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13 Mbe atalio unu alinyile ingulu okusoka mulwile tali unu ekile, Omwana wo munu.
And no one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
14 Kulwejo Musa ayanikile injoka ibhala, kutyo kutyo Omwana wo munu bhusibhusi ayanikwe,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
so that everyone who believes in him may have life without end. (aiōnios g166)
16 Kwo kubha nikwo kutyo Nyamuanga achendele echalo ati namusosha Omwana wae umwila, Koleleki bhuli munu wona wona amwikilishe ataja kubhula nawe abhe no bhuanga bwa kajanende. (aiōnios g166)
For this is how God loved the world: he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have life without end. (aiōnios g166)
17 Kwo kubha Nyamuanga atamukutula Omwana wae achilamulile echalo chikilbwe kumwene.
For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
18 Unu kamwikilisha atakulamulwa. Unu atakelisishe alamuwe kwo kubha atalikilisishe lisina lwo Mwana umwila was Nyamuanga.
The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
19 Inu niyo injuno yo kulamula, ati obwelu bwijile muchalo, nawe bhanya bhanu nibhenda echisute okukila obwelu kwo kubha ebhikolwa byabho byalinga bhibhibhi.
This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their works were evil.
20 Bhuli munu Unu kakola bhubhibhi kabhiililwa obwelu nolwo atakuja mubwelu Koleleki ebhikolwa byae byasiga okutulwa abwelu.
For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works will not be exposed.
21 Nawe, unu kakola echimali kaja mubwelu koleleki ebhikolwa byae bhibhokane ati byakolelwe kwa likusho lya Nyamuanga.
But the one who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
22 Wejile ejo jawa, Yesu amwi na bheigisibwa mbagenda mu chalo cha Yudea. Eyo agegele omwanya amwi nabho aliga nabhatija.
After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them, and was baptizing.
23 Woli Yohana on aliga nabhatija eyo Ainea yei na Salim kwo kubha galiga galio na manji mafu aliya. Abhanu bhaliga nibhaja kumwene nabhabhatija,
Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came, and were baptized.
24 Kwo kubha Yohana aliga achali okweswa mwibhoyelo.
For John was not yet thrown into prison.
25 Mbe mbabhambashanya abheigisibwa bha Yohana no Muyaudi ku malya gwo kwiyesha.
Now a dispute arose between John's disciples with a Jew about purification.
26 Nibhagenda ku Yohana nibhamubwila ati, “Rabi, unu waliga nage kungego yo mugela gwa Yorodani, unu abhambaliye emisango jaye, lola, nabhatija na bhona abhagenda abhamujako.”
And they came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, look, he is baptizing, and everyone is coming to him."
27 Yohana nabhasubya ati omunu atakutula kulamila chinu chona chona tali aguyanibwe okusoka mu lwile.
John answered, "No one can receive anything, unless it has been given to him from heaven.
28 Emwe abhene mwabhambalila kubha naika ati, 'anye nitali Kristo', nawe naikile ati, 'natumilwe imbele yae.'
You yourselves bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent before him.'
29 Unu ali no mwenga ni mutwasi. Woli omusani wo mutwasi, nemelegulu namungwa ka alikondelwa muno kwo kubha lilaka lyae omutwasi. Inu woli ni kondelelwa lyani likumiye.
He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine is now complete.
30 Kumwiile okukula, anye kunyiile okukeya.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 Unu kasoka inguli Ali ingulu ya bhona unu we chalo kasoka muchalo na kaika emisango ja ku chalo. Unu kasoka mulwile niwe katunga byona. Unu kabhambalila galiya ago alolele
He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
32 nokugongwa, nawe atalio unu alamiye obhubhambasi bwae.
What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
33 Unu alamiye obhubhambasi bwae katao echibhalikisho kubha Nyamuanga ni we chimali.
He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
34 Kwo kubha unu atumilwe na Nyamuanga kaika emisango ja Nyamuanga. Okubha atakumuyana omwoyo kwo kulenga.
For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for he does not give the Spirit by measure.
35 Lata kamwenda Omwana na muyaye bhinu bhyona mumabhoko gaye.
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
36 Unu amwikilisishe Omwana anabyo obhuanga bwa kajanende, nawe ku unu atakumwikilisha Omwana atalibhubhona bhuanga, nawe lisungu lya Nyamuanga limuliko inguluyae. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever believes in the Son has everlasting life, but whoever refuses to believe in the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him." (aiōnios g166)
