John 3 (GHN) · Opened

1Ego kolenana za maka kuta tinoni matamata tadiria na tinoni Jiu, maka ria na Parese, na izongona i Nikodimasi.Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

2Ko na tinoni ani za lao ti Jisu maka bongi, ko ari za guni vei i Jisu, <<Rabi, gami gilagilagomami gami za ao za maka tinoni varivagigalai na tagarunu lame veimu tana Tamaza ao. Ura kepore za maka tinoni bi boka roitidi za na roiti vinagilagila vevei qu korapa roitidi ao zara vei bike somana tana za na Tamaza,>> za gua.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.”

3Nari za oea i Jisu aza, ari za guni vei, <<Zozoto pa zozoto ma pojanigo ara ao: kepore za maka tinoni mina boka batia na binangara tana Tamaza, vei minake podo mule mae tu aza,>> za gua.Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

4Nari za paranga i Nikodimasi, <<Ae mina vei beto mina boka maka podo mule mutu za na tinoni za tori baragozo tu? Na tinoni lavatana za minake boka lugea na iapana na tinana ko mina podo na vinaori totozo!>> za gua.“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?”

5Nari za oea i Jisu aza, <<Zozoto pa zozoto ma pojanigo ara ao: kepore za maka tinoni mina boka luge pa binangara tana Tamaza, vei minake podo kolo beto na Ongongu aza.Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

6Aza za podo masa za na masa tugu, goto aza za podo Ongongu za na Ongongu tugu.Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.

7Muke gabarani aza qa korapa pojanigo na veveina muna podo mule mae tu za gamu doru qa guni.Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’

8Na gava za iru lao vei ketakoi za nyorogua lao vei aza. Qu nongoriamua za na ovangana, ba quke gilagilai pae za koko lame vei beto pae za korapa lao vei aza. Maka moqaza podeke vei tugu aza za na tinoni za podo pana Ongongu,>> za gua i Jisu.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.”

9Nari za nanaza i Nikodimasi, <<Ko ae mina vei mina boka gore votu zana?>> za gua.“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

10Nari za oea i Jisu aza, ari za guni vei, <<Beko ao tu za na tinoni varivagigalai tadiria pa Izireli, ba quke gilagilai tu ari?“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?

11Zozoto pa zozoto ma pojanigo ara ao: gami za gami paranga votudi ria vei gami gilagilaria, beto gami ulule votudi ria vei gami bati zozotoria, ba kepore maka gamu bi vazozotoria ria na mami ulule.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.

12Vei mana vavakato vadigamu ara ria na zakazava gu qari gore votu pa kasia guguzu ba munake vazozoto za gamu, nari za vei mana vavakato vadigamu ara ria na zakazava qari gore votu pa noka za totonai za pala munake izongo vazozoto podeke za gamu.If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

13Kepore za maka tinoni bi tori zae mae tu pa noka, ba kolenana za aza za gore lagere vei pa noka, na Tuna na Tinoni.No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

14Za varitoto vei tugu pa qega za alaka vaiolo zaeni i Mosese pa nulu za na dole pa uqu kolu, nari za mina taovulu vaiolo zae vei tugu aza za na Tuna na Tinoni,Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

15ko ria doru mari vazozotoa aza za mari tekua na toa jola.that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.

16Ura pa zona vei ani za roquroqua na Tamaza za na kasia guguzu: za valamea aza za na Tuna makai, ko ria doru mari rangea aza za marike uke manyao goto mari tekua na toa jola.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.

17Ura na Tamaza zake garunu valageria pa kasia guguzu za na tuna ko mi pitua aza za na kasia guguzu zake guni, goto za garunu lagereni ko mi aloa tu aza za na kasia guguzu za gua.For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

18Aza za vazozotoa na Tuna za zake tapitu; goto aza zake vazozotoa na Tuna za tori tapitu tu, ura za tori ke vazozotoa tu aza za na Tuna makai na Tamaza.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.

19Ari za vei za na varituti: za tori lame tu pa kasia guguzu za na kabere, ba ria na tinoni za nake kabere goto na rodomo tu za qari nyoroguani, ura na dia roiti za na seladi.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.

20Aza na tinoni za roitidi na roiti ikikeredi za zake tavaraguani za na kabere, ko zake lame pa kabere aza, ura zake nyorogudi aza ria nana roiti ikikeredi bari tauduku votu.Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

21Ba aza za roitini na zozoto za lame pa kabere, ko qari bola votu ria nana roiti za roitidi aza ura za vatabea na Tamaza aza,>> za gua i Jisu.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.”

22Ego pa liguna aza za i Jisu beto ria nana sepele za qari lao pa ia pa Jiudia, ko ketakoi za suvere tavitiria iapeki totozo kakazana ko za kole paputaiso tinoni.After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.

23I Jone ba za paputaiso tinoni tugu pa Aenoni, maka guguzu za tata pa Saleimi, ura za kubo za na pie pa kota ketakoi, ko qari lalao tana ria na tinoni ko za kole paputaisoria aza ria.Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.

24(Pa totozo aza za qari oqoro vakolea pa ruma varipiuna i Jone.)(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)

25Ego ko kaki ria na sepele ti Jone za qari variguani tana maka tinoni Jiu za na veveina na loqaloqa vavalioso pa vavanau tadiria na tinoni Jiu.Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.

26Beto za qari lao ria kaki nana sepele ko ari qari guni vei i Jone, <<Rabi, qu gilagilaimua ao aza na tinoni za somana suvere tavitigo totonai qu suvere pa kale zagere tapo pa pie Jodani, aza na veveina qu kole mae ululeni ao? Dogoro! Koviria za korapa varipaputaiso aza, ko na rave tinoni za qari korapa lalao tana!>> qari gua.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.”

27Nari za oeria i Jone ria, ari za gudi vei, <<Kepore za maka tinoni mina boka izongia maka zakazava vei minake vani na Tamaza aza.John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.

28Gamu makamiu za gamu tori nongoria tu ko muna boka ululeni za aza qa pojai ara tonai ari qa gua vei, <Ara za nake Karisito ara, goto qa tagarunu vamomoe lao gu pa moena aza,> qa gua.You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’

29Na reko mina varielava za nana tugu na marene mina elavaia, nake tana tinoni aza ari kori na baere leana. Goto na baere leana ani za kole turu vainongoro, ko za somana qera totonai za nongoria aza za na mamalaingi lamena na nana tinoni. Ko ara za qa vei gu aza, ko za okoto valeana za na qua qeraqera.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.

30Aza za mina iolo zae, goto ara za mana gore peki tugu,>> za gua i Jone.He must increase; I must decrease.

31<<Aza na koko lagere veina pa nulu za ululu joladi doruna. Aza na koko veina pa pezo za tana pezo tugu, beto za kole tugu vavavakatodi na zakazava pa pezo. Goto aza za gore lagere vei pa noka za ululu joladi doruna.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.

32Aza za tori batia tu beto za tori nongoria tu za ululeni aza, ba kepore tinoni bi vazozotoa za nana vavakato.He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.

33Ba aza za vazozotoa na nana ulule za vaegoia tugu za na Tamaza za na zozoto.Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.

34Aza za garunia na Tamaza za ule votudi na paranga tana Tamaza, ura na Tamaza zake vani kobukobua na Ongongu pugelena aza.For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

35Na Tamana za roquroqua za na Tuna ko za tori vakolea tu pa limana aza za doru zakazava.The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.

36Aza za vazozotoa na Tuna za tekua na toa jola. Aza na tinoni za kilupaleni na Tuna za minake tekua na toa jola, goto za tavapogozoni aza za na vinakilasa tana Tamaza,>> za gua i Jone.Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
