John 3 (KLG) · Opened

1Na, awun utaw na Parisiyo na pigngalanan na si Nikodimo, aw sambuk uman sakanan na magdadumala͡ay sa manga Judiyu.Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

2Sambuk na gabi, nyadtu sakanan ni sayid ni Jisus aw piglongan nan, “Kay Magpalna-uway, kya-ede-an nami na sambuk kaw na magpalna-uway na pigpadala na Tyumanem. Kay awun manga milagru na pigpan-imo' mu na dili' mabatug na utaw kun wala' ya Tyumanem dun ni kanan.”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.”

3Tyumubag si Jisus kanan, “Matinaw ya un ku paglongun kanmu: Dili' mabatug na utaw kita-en ya Kasakupan na Pighari-an na Tyumanem kun dili' una sakanan mabagu.”Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

4Aw nyusip si Nikodimo kanan, “Unu ya imo-un na utaw pada mabagu ya kanan pagka-utawun? Kun unud da ya ginawa nan, unun nan ya pagliku' aw pagseled adti buntit na ina nan pada ma͡utaw salut?”“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?”

5Aw tyumubag si Jisus kanan, “Matinaw saba ya un ku kanmu paglongun: Wala' ya utaw na makaseled adti Kasakupan na Pighari-an na Tyumanem kun dili' sakanan una mabagu magi sa tubig aw Ispiritu Santo.Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

6Kay ya pig-ise' na utaw, utaw saba na awun sala', aw ya utaw na pigbagu na Ispiritu, pig-atagan saba sakanan na bagu na pagka-utawun.Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.

7Dili' kaw magkabelengbeleng sa piglong ku kanmu na ka-ilangan ya kadég mayu mabagu.Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’

8Ya samet tumambel pangkay ayin pasinan, aw dengegen tadun ya pagtambel nan manang dili' tadun ka-ede-an kun ayin lekat aw ayin uman pasinan. Kasiling uman na maynan, dili' ka-ede-an kun pig-unu na Ispiritu Santo ya pagbagu sa utaw.”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.”

9Aw nyusip pa uman si Nikodimo, “Unu ya pagkabatug na kadég yeiy?”“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

10Tyumubag si Jisus kanan, “Sambuk kaw saba na pigkilala na magpalna-uway sa Uldin asini banwa na Isra-él. Ananga' wala' mu ka-ede-i ya kadég yeiy?“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?

11Matinaw saba ya un ku kanmu paglongun: Pig-ubat nami ya kanami kya-ede-an aw pigmatinaw nami ya kanami kyinita', manang wala' mayu dawata.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.

12Kun wala' kamu pangintu-u sa piglong ku sa asini tas na lupa', unun mayu ya pagpangintu-u kun ubat ku kamayu ya adti tas na langit?If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

13Wala' ya utaw na nyaka-ede' kun unu ya adti tas na langit kay wala' ya utaw na nyakakadtu. Yan olo' ya nyaka-ede' ya Ise' na Utaw kay lyumekat sakanan adti tas na langit.”No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

14“Ya un ma-imo' kanaken, kasiling na nya-imo' sa inutaw na kamugung na galang na pigbetang ni Moysis adti aligi na pigpa-indeg nan adti kaligbinan, pada kita-en na manga utaw aw mataw silan. Ka-ilangan maynan uman ya ma-imo' sa Ise' na Utaw, un sakanan pakalabu adti krus,Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

15pada pangkay singalan ya mangintu-u kanan, makatagtun sa ginawa na wala' ya katigkasan.” Yeiy ya piglong ni Jisus adti kan Nikodimo.that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.

16Pigginawa͡an to-o na Tyumanem ya kadég na manga utaw, aw yan ya du-an na pig-atag nan ya kanan Ise' na tamisa pada pangkay singalan ya gayed mangintu-u kanan dili' ka-eletan lekat adti Tyumanem aw dili' sakanan pa-emel-emelen, manang makatagtun baling sa ginawa na wala' ya katigkasan.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.

17Kay ya pagpadala na Tyumanem sa Ise' nan asini tas na lupa', beke' na kaliman nan na ukuman ya manga utaw asuntu sa manga sala' nilan, manang yan ya tud nan na paluwa-en silan magi sa Ise' nan.For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

18Yanagaw, pangkay singalan ya mangintu-u kanan, dili' saba pa-emel-emelen. Manang pangkay singalan ya dili' mangintu-u kanan, pig-ukuman da sakanan kay wala' nan pangintu-uwi na yan ya Ise' na Tyumanem na tamisa.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.

19Ini ya du-an na un silan ukuman: Dyumateng ya kalalamdag asini tas na lupa' na un mag-ilaw sa anenganeng na manga utaw. Manang yan baling ya pigginawa͡an nilan ya kangitngitan aw beke' na kalalamdag kay malatay ya manga imo-unun nilan.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.

20Kay ya kadég na manga utaw na gayed mig-imo' sa malatay, pigkele͡an nilan ya kalalamdag pagaw kabukasan ya imo-unun nilan na malatay.Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

21Manang ya manga utaw na gayed dyumalug sa tengteng matinaw, kaliman nilan magpalapit adti kalalamdag, pada kita-en ya manga imo-unun nilan na madyaw kay nyabatug nilan yeiy magi sa tabang na Tyumanem.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.”

22Pagkatigkas yan, nyadtu si Jisus aw manga umagakan nan ni probinsiya na Judiya. Aw sa talana pa nilan dun, pigba͡utismuwan nilan ya manga utaw.After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.

23Aw si Juan uman migba͡utismu adti Énun malapit adti lunsud na Salim kay madég ya tugbul na tubig aw manga linaw dun ni banwa yan. Aw madég ya nyangkadtu adti kanan na un magpaba͡utismu,Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.

24kay dun ni manga allaw yan, wala' pa kalabusuwa si Juan.(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)

25Na, migbalawbalaw ya sambuk na Judiyu aw manga umagakan ni Juan, aw pigbilingbilingan nilan ya katanem na paglinis na manga Judiyu.Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.

26Yanagaw nyadtu silan ni kan Juan aw pig-usip nilan sakanan, “Kay Rabbi, kya-anenganengan mu ya utaw na pigpakilala mu kanami adti dipag na Jordan? Migba͡utismu la uman sakanan! Tanawa! Nyadtu la baling ni kanan ya kadég na manga utaw!”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.”

27Manang tyumubag si Juan kanilan, “Wala' ya un mabatug na utaw pangkay sambuk kun dili' tumbay na Tyumanem.John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.

28Kamu saba ya makamatinaw sa pigpa-ede' ku idtu muna na beke' ku ya Kristu manang pigsugu' aku olo' na Tyumanem na muna kanan pada ubat-ubat ku ya kanan pagdateng.You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’

29Kasiling na awun pigkasal, yan olo' ya tagtun sa pangubayanen ya eseg nan. Manang ya ubaybay na pigpamalli' na pangesegenen na migtagad kanan, to-o magleya sa pagdengeg nan na dyumateng da ya pangesegenen. Yanagaw aku uman, to-o aku migleya asuntu na nyangkadtu la ya manga utaw adti kan Jisus.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.

30Ka-ilangan na magkatas to-o ya kanan dengeg aw ka-ilangan na dili' da aku sa kanak magkadengganen.” Yeiy ya piglong ni Juan na Magba͡utismuway.He must increase; I must decrease.

31Ya utaw asini tas na lupa', yan olo' ya pigkasampetan nan ya asini tas na lupa'. Manang ya lyumekat adti tas na langit, matas pa kay sa kadég.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.

32Aw ya manga kyinita' nan aw ya manga dyengeg nan adti tas na langit, pig-ubat nan, manang tabay ya nyangintu-u sa piglong nan.He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.

33Manang pangkay singalan ya mangintu-u sa paglongun nan, yan ya magmatinaw sa kadég na pigpa-ede' kanan na Tyumanem.Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.

34Kay si Jisus ya Pigpadala na Tyumanem na un maglong sa manga tingeg nan, aw pig-atag kanan na Tyumanem ya Ispiritu Santo na wala' ya tyamanan.For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

35Pigginawa͡an na Ama ya kanan Ise' aw pig-atag adti kanan ya kadég.The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.

36Pangkay singalan ya mangintu-u sa Ise' na Tyumanem, matagtun nan ya ginawa na wala' ya katigkasan. Manang kun singalan ya dili' dumalug sa Ise' nan, dili' nan matagtun ya ginawa na wala' ya katigkasan, aw awun baling gayed ni kanan ya kadaman na Tyumanem.Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
