John 3 (AMO) · Opened

1Nkon ku Farisawa wa duku lissame Nikodimus, awa di nin tigo nanya kudaru na Yahudawa.Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

2Unit 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.”He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”

3Yesu kawaghe aworo, “kidegenere andi na imara unit tutung ba, na awasa ayene kipin tigo Kutelle ba.”Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

4Nikodimu woroghe, “Ima kuru imaru unit inyizari na amal ti kukune? Na awasa apira liburi nna me imaraghe unba ba, awasa ayinnua?”“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?”

5Yesu kawa, aworo, “Kidegenere ndin bellu minu, andi na imara unit nanya nmyen nin Ruhu ba, na awasa apira nanya kipin tigo Kutelle ba.”Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

6Imong ilenge na ina maru nanya kidowo, kidowari, a ilenge na ina maru nanya Ruhu, uruhuari.Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.

7Na iwase uzikpu bara na nbellin minu, 'uso gbas ikuru imacu minu tutung.'Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’

8Ufunu 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”The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

9Nikodimu kawa, aworo, “Inyizari imon ilele ma yitu nani?”“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

10Yesu kawaghe, aworo, “Fe unan dursuzu nanan Israila, vat nani, na uyinno ilenge imone ba?“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?

11Kidegenere, tidin belu ilenge imon nati yiru, ti din belu ilenge na tiyene, vat nani na anughe nsere uliru bite ba.Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, and yet you people do not accept our testimony.

12Asa nbelin minu ubelen nimon nle uye a na anung yinna mun ba, ima yinnu inyizari nwa bellin ubelen nimon kitene kutelle?If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

13Na umong nsa ghana kitene kani ba, se dei ulenge na ana tolu unzu kitene kani.No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

14Nafo na Musa wa ghantin fiyii nanya ntene, nanere wang uso gbas i ghantin Usaun Nnit kitene.Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

15Bara vat na lenge na iyinna ninghe nan se ulai unsali ligang.that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.

16Bara 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.For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

17Na Kutelle natu Gono me nanya nyie ada molu uyie ba, nani uyie nan se utucu unuzume.For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

18Ulenge na ayinna ninghe na ima molughe ba. Ulenge na ayinna ninghe ba imal ciughe nca nkul bara na ayinna nin lissan Gono Kutelle ba.Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

19ILenge imonere finu nsharawe, nworu nkanang na dak nanya inyii, anit ani nadi nin su nnsirti a na nkannanghe ba bara na adadumine an sirtiari.And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil.

20Bara vat nlenge na adin su adadu nsirti din su ivira tutung na ama dak kiti nkanangghe ba bara katwa me wa nuzu kanang.Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

21Vat 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.”But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”

22Kimal nani, Yesu nin nono katwa me wa nya udu nmyin Yahudiya. Awa di dandaun kikane ligowe nanghinu acin shinto anit nmyen.After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.

23Yuhana tutung wadi nshitu nanite in Ayinon kupo in Salim bara nmyen wadiku gbardang. Anit wa dasu kitime a shinto nani nmyen,Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.

24Na iwa di isa tursu Yuhana ku kilari licine ba.(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)

25Mayardang fita kiyetik nnono katwa in Yuhana nin nkon ku Yahudawaaa in belen nwesu ulau.Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.

26I 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.”So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.”

27Yuhana kawa nani, “Na unit wasa a sere imonmong ba, andi na inaghe unuzu kiti Kutelle ba.John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.

28Anung nin nati mine wasa ileoyi unanba, nlire na belle. 'Na meghari Kriste ba' nna woro, 'ina tuyi nbun mere.'You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’

29Ulenge 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.The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.

30Uma so gbas ame kpizinku, meng cazin.He must increase; I must decrease.

31Ulenge 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.The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all.

32Adin su uliru nimon ilenge na ana yene akuru alanza, nani na umon wasa asere uliru me ba.He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.

33Ulenge na asere uliru me ayinna Kutelle kidegenare.Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.

34Ame ulenge na Kutelle na tughe din bellu uliru Kutelle. Bara na adin guccu uruhu me anin na unin ba.For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

35Ucife dinin su Nsaune, amini nani imon vat nacara me.The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.

36Ulenge 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.Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
