Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

Unga aba ru Uyesu ru untsuuka, agɔr Uyesu agɛ, <<A umarhem, umɛn ihwɛngmɛn ungo uwu umarhemwi aka adzeku Unum, ubinkutsu unera asi ídɛ̃ɛ̃ akorhunga abin idzeu nu atsarkɛ ungo uku ikorhe, Unum aba asi iwea nggu unga.>>
BSB
BSB:
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
LDB
Uyesu agɔr unga agɛ, <<Umum indɛyiwa ungo idzidzɛrhe, aba asi imarmbɔ unera ide ivaa, asi ídɛ̃ɛ̃ atsĩã ri Iyɛrhe Unum.>>
BSB
BSB:
Jesus replied,
“Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
4
LDB
Unikodimu arhusa agɛ, <<Abvui amar unera aguse ri ikɔ̃ uner? Idzidzɛrhe asi íbvui atsĩã ra anaa uyanga umbɔ amar unga ide ivaa!>>
BSB
BSB:
“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
LDB
Uyesu agɔr unga agɛ, <<Umum indɛyiwa ungo idzidzɛrhe, umbɔ aba asi imarmbɔ unera ra amɛ̃ nu Ipfu-Num, asi ídɛ̃ɛ̃ atsĩã Iyɛrhe Unum.
BSB
BSB:
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
LDB
Ubinkpi unera aka amar uwu uner, bɔr ubinkpi Ipfu-Num iki imar uwu ipfu.
BSB
BSB:
Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.
7
LDB
Niba ugũo idzeu umum iki igɔr ungo ugɛ, <Awu ufang umbɔ abvui amar umbi.>
BSB
BSB:
Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’
8
LDB
Ugba ufɛu ra anangkɛ ukpɔ uku ubee. Ungo ugũo ititɔngkpɔ, bɔr ungo usi ihwɛngo anangkɛ ukpɔ uku udzek, ikɛi ungo usi ihwɛngo anangkɛ ukpɔ uku izĩ. Iwu rimi nggu unerwi Ipfu-Num iki imar.>>
BSB
BSB:
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
LDB
Unikodimu arhusu Uyesu agɛ, <<Akɛrɛ ha akorha aguse na awe?>>
BSB
BSB:
“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
10
LDB
Uyesu agɛ, <<Ungo uwu umarhem uwuku ugɔng ru Uisrairha, bɔr ungo usi ihwɛngo abina akɛrɛ?
BSB
BSB:
“You are Israel’s teacher,”
said Jesus,
“and you do not understand these things?
11
LDB
Umum indɛyiwa ungo idzidzɛrhe, umɛn irherha abinkɛ umɛn iki ihwɛng, ikɛi umɛn ĩdzaa umbi ideka abinkɛ umɛn iki inyã, bɔr utsɛku icɛrɛ umbi akpɛ̃mbi iyɛi idekayɛ umɛn iki isɔma umbi.
BSB
BSB:
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
LDB
Uba umum irherhuwa umbi arherhe ra abinkɛ aka uwe ru upfung nu umbi asi iwembi ri imangmang, ude umbi akorha aguse na awe ru imangmang umum ĩba isɔma umbi abinkɛ aka awe ra afã?
BSB
BSB:
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
LDB
Unera anasi ifũã ra afã. Ungwɛ̃-Ner ukpekũ unga aka adzek umɔ acipuwa.
BSB
BSB:
No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
14
LDB
Ru nyaku Umusa aka aberi ibvui nu ucici ra arhum, rimi hã ikɛi awu ufang umbɔ aberu Ungwɛ̃-Ner,
BSB
BSB:
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
15
LDB
agɛ uwuruwi aka awea ri imangmang ru unga ama akpo urhɛ uwu ugbagbaa.
BSB
BSB:
that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.
16
LDB
<<Unum abemu upfunga akarhãrhã nggee unga adzowe unanyĩ Ungwɛ̃nga, agɛ ubɛn unera aka awea ri imangmang ru unga asi íkpea, bɔr unga awuri ikpo urhɛ uwu ugbagbaa.
BSB
BSB:
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
LDB
Unum asi idenuka Ungwɛ̃nga ru upfung agɛ unga atsu uvau ru upfung, bɔr agɛ upfung ukpo ififɔrh ru uboknga.
BSB
BSB:
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
18
LDB
Ubɛn uwuku uwe ru imangmang ru Ungwɛ̃ Unum, asi ítsumbɔ uvau ru unga, bɔr uwuruwi aka asi iwea ri imangmang ru unga, aka atsumbɔ uvau ru unga, ubinkutsu asi idzowuka imangmang ri itsok unanyĩ Ungwɛ̃ Unum.
BSB
BSB:
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
LDB
Nu izharha arherhenga iwe ri iminɛ. Irhirhang itsĩwã ru upfung, bɔr anera abemu uzĩ anangmbɔ irhirhang, ubinkutsu itsermbɔ iwu iyiki ibewe.
BSB
BSB:
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
LDB
Ubɛn uwuku utɔ̃itser iyiki ibewe akpɛ̃ irhirhang, asi íbanga ri irhirhang, utsur umbɔ anyãmbɔ itsernga.
BSB
BSB:
Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
21
LDB
Bɔr uwuku utɔ̃itser idzidzɛrhe aka isaka aba ra anang aka arhurhang ngge itsú umbɔ anyã ra awiya agɛ abinkɛ unga aka adɛ̃ɛ̃ ikikorhe awu Unum ayike unga.>>
BSB
BSB:
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
LDB
Akɛrɛ aka amaa, Uyesu nu angwɛ̃ imesanga adzek azĩmbɔ abĩ Uyahudiya, umɔ unga amaa inuma irhɛirhɛ nggu umbɔ, anu ikorhuwe ubɔtisima ra anera.
BSB
BSB:
After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.
23
LDB
Uyohana ikɛi anu ikorhuwe ubɔtisima ru Uainon uku ukhapa nggu Usarhim, ubinkutsu amɛ̃ awu arhɛrhɛ umɔ. Anera ubɛn unum akɛyi ru unga umɔ azĩ isorhu ubɔtisima.
BSB
BSB:
Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.
24
LDB
Akɛrɛ ha akorhuke kata, umbɔ adɔrha agbange Uyohana ru ugborzĩ.
BSB
BSB:
(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
25
LDB
Umɔ angwɛ̃ imesu Uyohana atsĩmbɔ uning nggu utsa Uyahuda uwɔɔ ra arherhi isorh iyor ru nyaka agbeyi abi Uyahuda.
BSB
BSB:
Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.
26
LDB
Umbɔ azĩmbɔ ru Uyohana agɔr unga agɛ, <<A umarhem, utsa ha umbi aka awu nggu unga unum hã ru ugar ubang Azɛ̃ Urdun, uwu ha ungo uku udzowe ideka ri itsinga hã, unggawɔ nggɔɔ adɛ̃ɛ̃ isorhuwe ubɔtisima. Anera kishoo azĩ ru unga.>>
BSB
BSB:
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
LDB
Mɔcɛ Uyohana agɛ, <<Unera asi idɛ̃ɛ̃ ayɛisa ubin, Unum aba asi ídzowuka ukpɔ ra afã.
BSB
BSB:
John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
28
LDB
Umbi awu idekamum, umum ĩgɔr ugɛ, <Asi iwea umum iwu Ukiristo, bɔr adena umum inggbaashia ĩba.>
BSB
BSB:
You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
29
LDB
Utsak uwuku ufa unga apfunu utsɛrh uwuku ufa. Bɔr uwɛrhu utsak uwuku ufa uwuku uzĩ irhowa ipfuna hã aka isaka adzɛu igũ irhak utsak uwuku ufa, na aka isaka agɔm anggɔm ri ivangyɛ unga aka igũ irhak utsak uwuku ufa ha. Anggɔm hã awu akimum, atsuafɛr icɛrɛ.
BSB
BSB:
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
LDB
Awu ufang unga awu ukugɔnga, bɔr awu ufang umum iwu uku ucia.
BSB
BSB:
He must increase; I must decrease.
31
LDB
<<Uwuruwi aka adzeka afã aba ananga anera kishoo. Uwuruwi aka adzeka abĩ awu uwu abĩ na arherhe ra abinkɛ aka awu ra abĩ. Uwuruwi aka adzeka afã aba ananga kishoo.
BSB
BSB:
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
LDB
Unga arherhe ideka ubinkpi unga aka agũ na anyã, bɔr anera asi iyɛimbɔ idekanga.
BSB
BSB:
He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.
33
LDB
Ubɛn unera aka ubemu idekanga atsu utsar adɛyiwe ugɛ Unum arherhi idzidzɛrhe.
BSB
BSB:
Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
34
LDB
Uwu ha Unum aka adene arherhe irhɛm Unum, ubinkutsu adzowe Ipfu iyiriyɛ iki isi ímaangge.
BSB

For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.
36

Ubɛn uwuku uwe ru imangmang ru Ungwɛ̃ awea ru urhɛ uwu ugbagbaa, bɔr ubɛn uwuku ukpɛ̃ɛ̃ Ungwɛ̃ asi ínyãã urhɛ, ubinkutsu avɔm Unum awu ni itsinga.>>
