1. 1IKZAareho ʉmʉkangati wʉmwɨ wa Abhayaahudi wa riribhita rya Abhafarisaayo, iriina ryazɨ Nikʉdɨɨmu.BSBBSB: Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.
2. 2IKZRusikʉ rʉmwɨ ubhutikʉ, akaja kwa Yɨɨsu, akamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Umwija, tʉmɨnyirɨ kʉbha awɨ ni‑mwija wʉnʉ utumirwɨ na Mungu, kʉ kʉbha atareeho ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akʉtʉra kokora ɨbhɨsɨgʉ bhɨnʉ awɨ okokora, arɨɨbhɨ Mungu atarɨ hamwɨmwɨ nawe.”BSBBSB: 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.”
3. 3IKZYɨɨsu akabhuga, “Nɨrakʉbhʉʉrɨra amaheene, atareeho ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akʉtʉra kusikɨra mʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu arɨɨbhɨ akɨɨrɨ kwibhurwa rwa kabhɨrɨ.”BSBBSB: Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
4. 4IKZNikʉdɨɨmu akabhuurya Yɨɨsu, “Ʉmʉʉtʉ aratʉrabhwɨ kwibhurwa rwa kabhɨrɨ mʉkaruka? Aratʉra kʉgarʉka mʉnda ya unina korereke iibhurwɨ naatu?”BSBBSB: “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?”
5. 5IKZYɨɨsu akamʉgarukirya, “Nɨrakʉbhʉʉrɨra amaheene, atareeho ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akʉtʉra kusikɨra mʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu arɨɨbhɨ akɨɨrɨ kwibhurwa kʉmanzi na kwe Ekoro Ɨndɨndu.BSBBSB: Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
6. 6IKZɄmʉʉtʉ ahiibhurwa na abhiibhuri bhaazɨ, kʉnzɨra yʉ ʉmʉbhɨrɨ, nawe ʉbhʉhʉru ubhuhya bhwahaarwa kwe Ekoro Ɨndɨndu.BSBBSB: Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.
7. 7IKZɄtarʉgʉʉra kʉ kʉbha nikubhuuriirɨ, ‘Moreenderwa mwibhurwɨ rwa kabhɨrɨ.’BSBBSB: Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’
8. 8IKZEkoro Ɨndɨndu ituubhɨɨnɨ nʉ ʉmʉkama gʉnʉ gukuhuuta kwerekera ɨnʉ gukwenda. Ʉratʉra kwigwa kuhuuta kwaku, nawe ʉtɨɨzɨ ɨnʉ gukurwɨra nɨ ɨnʉ gukuja. Nɨmbu ɨrɨ kʉmʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ iibhwirwɨ ne Ekoro Ɨndɨndu.”BSBBSB: 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.”
9. 9IKZNikʉdɨɨmu akabhuurya Yɨɨsu, “Nangʉ, ʉmʉʉtʉ aratʉrabhwɨ kwibhurwabhu?”BSBBSB: “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
10. 10IKZYɨɨsu akamʉgarukirya, “Awɨ ni‑mwija wʉnʉ ukusuukwa bhʉkʉngʼu mucharʉ cha Iziraɨri, ʉtɨɨzɨ amangʼana gayo?BSBBSB: “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?
11. 11IKZNɨrakʉbhʉʉrɨra amaheene, itwɨ tʉragamba ganʉ tʉmɨnyirɨ, na tʉramenyeekererya ganʉ tʉrʉʉzɨ. Nawe imwɨ mʉtakwisirirya ʉbhʉmɨnyɨɨkɨrɨri bhwɨtʉ.BSBBSB: 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.
12. 12IKZNɨbhabhuuriirɨ amangʼana ganʉ gakokorwa kʉʉsɨ kʉnʉ, nawe imwɨ mʉtakwisirirya. Nangʉ mʉranyiisiriryabhwɨ hanʉ nɨkʉbhabhʉʉrɨra ɨngʼana ya amangʼana ganʉ gakokorwa mwisaarʉ?BSBBSB: If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
13. 13IKZAtareeho ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ agiirɨ mwisaarʉ. Nawe Umwana wʉ Ʉmʉʉtʉ newe iizirɨ kurwa mwisaarʉ.BSBBSB: No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
14. 14IKZ“Hanʉ Abhiiziraɨri bhaarɨ kʉkɨbhara, Musa akakora risambwa rye enzoka yɨ ɨshabha na kuritiirya kʉkɨtɨ korereke bhahore. Ɨbhuɨbhu nu Umwana wʉ Ʉmʉʉtʉ, areenderwa kutiiribhwa,BSBBSB: Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
15. 15IKZkorereke abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhanʉ bhakumwisirirya bhabhɨ nʉ ʉbhʉhʉru bhwa kemerano.”BSBBSB: that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.
16. 16IKZMmbe, Mungu akasɨɨga ɨɨsɨ, kuhika akahurucha umwana waazɨ umumwɨmwɨ aazɨ mʉʉsɨ, korereke abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhanʉ bhakumwisirirya bhatarimɨra, nawe bhabhɨ nʉ ʉbhʉhʉru bhwa kemerano.BSBBSB: 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.
17. 17IKZMungu ataatumirɨ Umwana waazɨ kʉʉsɨ kʉnʉ korereke atɨnɨrɨ abhaatʉ, nawe abhasabhʉrɨ kʉhɨtɨra kwewe.BSBBSB: For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
18. 18IKZɄmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akwisirirya atakutinirwa. Nawe ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ atakumwisirirya, amarirɨ kutinirwa kʉ kʉbha akɨɨrɨ kwisirirya Umwana waazɨ umumwɨmwɨ.BSBBSB: 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.
19. 19IKZƗtɨnɨrʉ nɨ‑yɨnʉ, Umwana wa Mungu arɨɨtirɨ ubhwɨrʉ mʉʉsɨ mʉnʉ, nawe abhaatʉ bhasɨɨgirɨ kʉbha mukiirimya kʉkɨra kʉbha mubhwɨrʉ, kʉ kʉbha amahocha gaabhʉ nɨ‑mabhɨ.BSBBSB: 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.
20. 20IKZAbhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhanʉ bhahaakora amahocha amabhɨ, ebho bhahaabhiihirirwa ubhwɨrʉ bhuyo. Bhatakwenda kuuza mubhwɨrʉ, korereke amahocha gaabhʉ amabhɨ gataaza komenyekana.BSBBSB: Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
21. 21IKZNawe abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhanʉ bhahaakora amahocha ga maheene, ebho bhahaamohya kʉbha mubhwɨrʉ bhuyo, korereke emenyekanɨ kʉbha Mungu newe akʉbhaha ʉbhʉnaja bhwʉ ʉkʉgakora.BSBBSB: 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.”
22. 22IKZMmbe, hanʉ gayo gaahitirɨ, Yɨɨsu na abhɨɨga bhaazɨ bhakaja mucharʉ cha Yudeya. Akiikara iyo kwibhaga irebhe, akabha arabhatiiza abhaatʉ.BSBBSB: After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.
23. 23IKZYoohana wʉʉsi aarɨ arabhatiiza abhaatʉ Ainʉʉni, haguhɨ nʉ ʉrʉbhɨri rwa Sarɨmu. Gaareho amanzi maaru iyo, na abhaatʉ bhakaja kwa Yoohana korereke abhabhatiizɨ.BSBBSB: Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.
24. 24IKZKwibhaga riyo, Yoohana aarɨ akɨɨrɨ kugwatwa na kutuurwa mokebhoho.BSBBSB: (For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
25. 25IKZRusikʉ rʉmwɨ, abhɨɨga bha Yoohana bhakatanga kʉhakaana nʉ Ʉmʉyaahudi wʉmwɨ igʉrʉ wi isimʉka yʉ ʉkʉbhɨngukya.BSBBSB: Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.
26. 26IKZNeho bhakaja kwa Yoohana, bhakamʉbhʉʉrɨra, “Umwija, ʉrahiita ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ aarɨ na naawɨ imwambʉkʉ wɨ ɨkɨtaarʉ cha Yorodaani na ʉkamenyeekererya amangʼana gaazɨ? Nangwɨnʉ wʉʉsi arabhatiiza, na abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bharaja kwewe!”BSBBSB: 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.”
27. 27IKZYoohana akabhuga, “Ʉmʉʉtʉ atakʉtʉra kobhona ekegero chʉchʉsi, arɨɨbhɨ Mungu akɨɨrɨ komoha.BSBBSB: John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
28. 28IKZImwɨ nɨ‑bhamɨnyɨɨkɨrɨri bhaanɨ, nɨkabhuga, ‘Inyɨ nɨtarɨ Kiriisitʉ, nawe Mungu antumirɨ korereke nɨmʉkangatɨrɨ Kiriisitʉ.’BSBBSB: You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
29. 29IKZUmuryakari aheenderwa kuja kumukwɨri. Inyɨ nangɨ omobheja wu umukwɨri, nimiiriirɨ rusizʉ waazɨ na nɨrazomerwa kwigwa riraka ryazɨ. Maheene ne‑meremo gɨnʉ gɨnzʉmɨɨrɨ bhʉkʉngʼu.BSBBSB: 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.
30. 30IKZEreenderwa Yɨɨsu abhɨ ʉmʉkʉrʉ kʉnkɨra, na niinyɨ nɨbhɨ umunyi.”BSBBSB: He must increase; I must decrease.
31. 31IKZEwe wʉnʉ aruurɨ mwisaarʉ, anʉ ʉbhʉnaja igʉrʉ wa bhyʉsi. Wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ akurwa kʉʉsɨ, aragamba amangʼana ga mʉʉsɨ mʉnʉ. Nawe wʉnʉ aruurɨ mwisaarʉ, anʉ ʉbhʉnaja igʉrʉ wa bhyʉsi.BSBBSB: 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.
32. 32IKZEwe aramenyeekererya ganʉ aarʉʉzɨ na kwigwa, nawe atareeho ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akwisirirya ʉbhʉmɨnyɨɨkɨrɨri bhwazɨ.BSBBSB: He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.
33. 33IKZɄmʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ akwisirirya ʉbhʉmɨnyɨɨkɨrɨri bhwazɨ, areerekeererya kʉbha Mungu nɨ‑wa amaheene,BSBBSB: Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
34. 34IKZkʉ kʉbha wʉnʉ atumirwɨ na Mungu, ahaagamba amangʼana gaazɨ, kʉ kʉbha Mungu amʉhɨɨrɨ Ekoro Ɨndɨndu ɨtaana ekerengo.BSBBSB: For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
35. 35IKZBhaabha Mungu amʉsɨɨgirɨ Umwana waazɨ, na amʉhɨɨrɨ ʉbhʉnaja igʉrʉ we ebhegero bhyʉsi.BSBBSB: The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.
36. 36IKZɄmʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ akwisirirya Umwana wa Mungu, wuyo anʉ ʉbhʉhʉru bhwa kemerano. Nawe ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ akumwanga, wuyo ataana ʉbhʉhʉru bhwa kemerano, kʉ kʉbha ʉbhʉrʉrʉ bhwa Mungu bhʉrakaja kʉbha igʉrʉ waazɨ.BSBBSB: Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
