John 3 (JNI) · Opened

1Urunu marane neza numeme nikodimo memani unaje wa yahudawa.Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

2Unu uginome ma e ahira a yeso in niye magunmme hu una jetirusa hu unu rusamani sa wa e ahire asere, barki unu rusa wuza katuma kawe ma maraneba, de be sa mazi nigo nan na Asere memani madi uiuzi kani.”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.”

3Yeso makabirka me magu aneni inzinu bezi uwe in kadaki akuri ayo unububa mada irame akura asere be.Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

4Nikodimo magun me adi wo aneni ayo unubu sama uiuna ucokoro? ani madi kuri maribe aburu aino meme makuri mayome?”“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?”

5Yeso makabirka me magu, “Inkadaki ayo unubu usuro ugmei nan bibe ba asere ba mada ribeneme akura asere 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.

6Immum be sa unubu mayo unubu mani, imum be sa bibe ba yo bibe bini.Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.

7Kati icukuno we imum itize barki sa ma guna ya cukuno gbas akuri ayo we.Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’

8Ueebu usuma uhama ahira iriba u uni uduki u kunna tanu tu uni utame ahira sa wasuroni uyami ahira me sa uhazani, anima izi ahira ade be sa bibe ba yo me.”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.”

9Nikodimo ma kabirka me magu, “Aneni idi cukuno?”“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

10Yeso ma kabirka me magu hume sa uzi unu bezi ihori anyimo isra'ila daki wa rusa ani me ba?“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?

11Ine ini inzin nu gusan hu, imumbe sa tirusa ine ini ta buka we tizin nu kuri ubizi imumbe sata ira yagashi uhem inni mumbe sata bezi.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.

12Izi nu uboo ushi abanga uneh da hem ni ba, indi wa aneni i hem in na banga atize ta zezzere?If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

13Avene mamu nyene azesere in daki memani de be sa matuu usuro azezze abanname me mani vana unu be sa marani azezzere me.No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

14Kasi musa sama yeze biwa, biginome ani ja'a, ane ani adi yeze vana unubu.Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

15Barki vat desa ma hem in me madi kem uvenke uzatu umara.that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.

16Barki uhemme sa ugomo asere mawu uneh men madusa ma nya vana uinde ugino me, barki vat debe sama kaba me kati macorno me, idi cukono me madi kem venke uzatu umarsa.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.

17Ugomo asere matubarka vana umeme uneh ugeme barki agi ma weki tize tini ba manyari uneh ukem ukaba ahira amame.For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

18Vat debe sama hem me, ada weke me tize ba vat debe sa ma nyari me uhem in niza nu vana u inde ugino ugomo asere.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.

19U weki utize teki u yenne masa'a mariba uneh anabu wa taki unu nyara u mareu nan kani.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.

20Vat de sa ma wuza imum izenzen ma nyar si me masa'a me nyani agu ma hanaa hira anmasa'a me barki kati a iri katuma ka zenze ka meme.Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

21Unu uwuza ukadura me mani madike ma-e ahira a masaa me, barki masuso tize timeme, unuguna, ugomo asere mani mawuna ini.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.”

22Yeso nan nahana akatuma kameme wa dusa amanyanga mu yahudiya abinime madii nan we mazi nu zarso anabu.After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.

23Yahaya mazin nu zorso anabu uainon mamamun nan nu salima barki gmei marani gbardan ahira me anabu wa ezi azorsowe.Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.

24Barki anime da amu hanan yahaya udenge uni rereba.(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)

25Abineme ana katuma ka yahaya wa meki matara nan ure u yahude ahira a tize tumeki unicce.Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.

26Wakuri wa eh ahira a yahaya, wagunmme desa dati wazi wazi nanme, urusa u urdun me, desa hu necce nu we wabezi urusa ume, manno mazin nu zorso anabu ine ini anabu wazin nu haza ahira ameme.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.”

27Yahaya ma kabirka magu in daki anya unu imum ahira a sere unu ukem ini mazoni.John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.

28Shi acce ashime irusa uguna ana azo mimani asere me, mi a tuburkon ini a je ameme.You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’

29Una anya memani unu unee uso uroni unu nee sa ma turi, magunna tize timeme, ma wuza apuru arom kgan innu kunna uni gmirang ni manyani manya me, barki ani me iriba iram in ya gminca.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.

30Me madingi ukingizi mi, indii unu kaza unupum.He must increase; I must decrease.

31Unu aye usuro azesere marani azesere nan na nabu desa marani adizii me una dizzii mani tize ta dizii tini mawuza, unu uayye azezere mara azezere a ko de avi.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.

32Imum be sama kunna ma kuri ma ira, ine ini mazin nukurzo men, vat anime anu wa game imum be sa mazi nu boo me.He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.

33Vat desa mahem ini mum be sa maboo makuri, matunno azezzere ani uguna ugomo Asere una kadura mani.Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.

34Barki desa ugomo asere matu mime, abanga ugomo asere ani maboo, ugomo asere ma nyinza bibe bizatu ubinani.For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

35Acome ma hem invana me makuri mawu vat imum atari ti meme.The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.

36Desa ma hem invaname mazin nu venke uzatu ubinani. De be sa ma game vana me, mada kem me uvenke ugino me, madi ribe anyimo iriba ugomo Asere.Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
