John 3 (BSJ) · Opened

1la ni dinglime kange wi wo den cero Nicodemu, nii dur Yahuda.Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

2nii wo bow Yeecu nin ki kume la yico, “Rabbi, nyin nyumom mwin nii merangka wo bou kwama nine, wori nii kange mani wo ama diker nyimangkako mwi mane ri no kwama mani kange cori.”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.”

3Yeecu ciya cinen, “bilenke, no cii bo nii takri, mani ci to liyar kwama ti”Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

4Nicodimu yi co “ciya boten nii nyi ki kwama ci cirame? mani ca do mor fwiye nee ce ti kiritti yob naci bo ten co, can do wa?“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?”

5Yeecu ciya,”bilenke, bilenke, no ci bo bo nii ki mwem kangi yuwa tangberi mani ci do liyar kwamak ti.Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

6wo cii bo mor nange ri nange, la wo cii bo mor yuwatangberi, yuwatenbe.Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.

7Niyimangde wori min yi nen miki tam nyo cia fulongum boka mweko.Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’

8yiwako ki cui fiye ci fobi, mwan nuwa diir cero, dila mwi nyombo fte cibow wiyeu kaka fiye ci yaken tiyeu. nyo kange nubo gwam wo ci bo co mor yiwu tangbeke.”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.”

9Nicodimu ciya lan yi co “dikero wo a manyi?“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

10Yeecu ciya lan yi co “mwin nii meranka Icirailari durwal mwi nyombo digero wa?“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?

11bilenke, bilengke ma yinenti tok ike nyi nyomeu, nyi nee to-e. di duwal kom yo bo warke nyeu.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.

12no min yi nen diker dor kalere mwi ne bo bilenke ri, mwa nee bilenke nyi no yinen dor diker dii kwama ri?If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

13nii kange mani wo kwiken dii kwama no cum co wo yirau dii kwamari bi bwe nii fiye.No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

14na wo ci yam kung bi bwe nii fiye dii,Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

15ri la gwam wo nee bilenke atin fiye dume di riye.that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.

16kwama ciu kale wo ri cin neken bibwe ce wiin cuar, la wo ne bilenke cineneri mani a bwiya ti la wi ki lai dume diriri.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.

17kwama tungu bo bwew mor kalewo na kume dor bitinero dila na dor bitinero fiya fuloka fiye ci wiyeFor God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

18wo ne bilenke cine neri mani a bwiya ti, wo nebo bilenke cine neri, kweri bwiyam bwiya wiro ci nebo bilenke ki den bi bwe kwama ro wiin cuwareu.”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.

19Won co dike bwi bolang filang ko bou dor bitiner, nubo cwi kuntacile la filang ko, wori nangen cero cile.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.

20No wo ma bwirang keri ko filang ko, bou bo filang nin wori nangen cero nungi yanglang.Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

21Bwen dwal nyiri, niwo ma bilenkeu, bou filang ko nin na nungi yang lang, nangen cero na kwama ce co mane.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.”

22Bwikowo Yeesu kange bibei tomange ceu cuu biten Yahudiya, co yim wi lenger kange ci kange yuka mwengek kwamak.After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.

23Yuwanna yuu mwem ti Ainon bidom kange Salima wori mwembo bidom wi. Nubo bouti cinen con yuu cinen mwembo.Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.

24Fiya Yuwana ci tung bo furcuna bwiri.(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)

25Kwalkang ke kweni tiber bibei tomange Yuwana kange Yahudawa, ker maka duklumek.Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.

26Cin ya Yuwana nin cin yi co ki, “nii merangka, nii wuro kange mweu dinge kon caji Jordaneu dor we? mo ware, too, co yuu mwem ti, takeu gwam ci yaken ti ci nin.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.”

27Yuwana kari, “Nii mani a yoo kange diger ti, tano ci ne co dii kwamari.”John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.

28Mo ki bwimi mwan wari, man toki ma kebo Kiristi', dila cin twomou ye nimde co.You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’

29Bine ki nii bine, dila fakuwe nii bineu wo ti nuwa ceu, bilange ducce ki dir nii binero, wuro, co bilangtum mimbo kambo ken.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.

30Ca yokten miu man yiram.He must increase; I must decrease.

31Nii wo bou diyeu, la gwam. Nii wo dor bitenereu, ki no dorbitinerer, tok diger ti dor, dorbitinere. Nii wo bou dii kwamau la gwam.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.

32Co war kerti dor digero co toweu kange co nuwau, dila kange man wo ciya warke ceu.He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.

33Nii wo ciya warkeceu, co nungi kwama nii bilenker.Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.

34La nii wo kwama tun ceu tok ker kwamar ti. Co nebo yuwa tangbe ki cuwaka.For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

35Tee cwi bi bwece, neken co digero gwam kang cak.The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.

36Nii wo ne bilenke ki bweri, dume na ce, nii wo nuwabo bweri mani ca to dume ti, cwika kwama ko a yii kange co.Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
