1 PBBR Ani nyungan sok Farisi bagaatn Nikodemus. Ini' anilah nyungan pamimpin bangsa Yahudi. BSB BSB: Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.
2 PBBR Jangkah ano ngarum, ini' utukng wa' Yesus ge' nyansana, "Rabi, kai pane bahwa Akupm anilah Guru da utukng umpatn Jabata karna kati' ani nyungan pun da kaatn umas tande-tande ajaib da Akupmbulah, kacuali Jabata ani samahua'." 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 PBBR Jawab Yesus waini', "Sabatol-batola Iko muji' kaimu', sak sook kati' gatnberanak agi', ini' kati' kaatn mile' Karajaan Jabata." BSB BSB: Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
4 PBBR Nikodemus mansikatn, "Langkina mungkinlah sook kaatn gatnberanak agi' kalo ini' nga ama? Kaat a' ini' maruh agi' ka sadatn buhul sinioa' ge' gatnberanak agi'?" 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 PBBR Yesus naham a', "Sabatola, Iko' muji' kaimu', sak sook kati' gatnberanak umpatn paitn ge' Roh, ini' kati' kaatn maruh ka sadatn Karajaan Jabata. 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 PBBR Jai da gatnberanak umpatn dagin anilah dagin, ge' jai da gatnberanak umpatn Roh anilah roh. BSB BSB: Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.
7 PBBR Iya' heran karna Iko' muji' kaimu', 'Imu' arus gatnberanak agi." BSB BSB: Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’
8 PBBR Nyaru ngampoh ka dume pun ini' ngate ge' imu' dangah mihua', tapi imu' kati' pane umpatn dume asala' ge' ka dume ini' ao' anu. Ladakoh uga nige' satiap sok da gatnberanak umpatn Roh." 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 PBBR Nikodemus mansikatn, "Langkinalah mungkin smaan hal dakoh tajadi?" BSB BSB: “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
10 PBBR Yesus naham, "Inyata imu' guru sok Israel, tapi imu' kati' ngarati smaan hal diah? BSB BSB: “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?
11 PBBR Da sabatola', Iko' muji' kaimu' bahwa kai nyansana manganai jai da kai pane ge' mangkatn kesaksian manganai jai da kai ile', tapi imu' kati' nyamut kesaksian kai. 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 PBBR Kalo Iko' mangkatn pane kaimu' manganai hal-hal duaniawi sadi' imu' kati' pacaya, langkina mungkin imu' ao' pacaya kalo Iko' mangkatn pane kaimu' manganai hal-hal surgawi? 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 PBBR Kati' nyungan pun suah makka ka surga, kacuali Ini' da laka disah umpatn surga, dakohta Anak Talino. BSB BSB: No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
14 PBBR Samu' ulah Musa majakka nipa' tembaga ka padang belantara, ladakoh uga' Anak Talino arus gatn ngangkanyamo, BSB BSB: Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
15 PBBR supaya asi pun sok da pacaya ka-Ini' ao' kaatn idup da kekal. BSB BSB: that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.
17 PBBR Karna Jabata ngutus Anak-A ka sadatn dunia inya ya' manghakim dunia, tapi supaya dunia gatnnyelamat nabo' Anak-A. BSB BSB: For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
18 PBBR Sok da pacaya wa-Ini' kati' ao' gatn ngukum, tapi sok da kati' pacaya nga madi' ka saroh hukuman karna ini' kati' pacaya wa' gaatn Anak Tunggal Jabata. 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 PBBR Diahta hukuman dakoh: Tarakng nga utukng ka sadatn dunia, tapi talino labih suka wa' dagalap daripada tarakng karna jai da ayoa umas anilah jahe.' 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 PBBR Karna satiap sok da umas jahe' rusi' Tarakng ge' kati' utukng uga' wa' Tarakng dakoh supaya parbuatan-parbuatan a' kati' gatn ngungkit-ungkit. 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 PBBR Tapi ao'a, sok da umas da taman utukng wa' Tarakng dakoh supaya gatn nganyata parbuatan-parbuatan a' dakoh dagatna' umas ka sadatn Jabata." 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 PBBR Ngalaka dakoh, Yesus ge' ayo murid-A anu ka tana' Yudea. Ka teetn, Ini' ngangkabas ano samahu ayoa' ge' mambaptis. BSB BSB: After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.
23 PBBR Yohanes uga' mambaptis ka Ainon jiket Salim karna ani paitn karah ka teetn. Ayo sok bajutukng ge' gatn baptis. 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 PBBR Waktu dakoh, Yohanes tinga gatnnyise' ka sadatn panjara. BSB BSB: (For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
25 PBBR Ge, timbul lah perdebatan antara nyamani murid Yohanes ge' nyungan sok Yahudi mengenai panyuci. BSB BSB: Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.
26 PBBR Ayo a' amput Yohanes ge' nyasana, "Guru, sok da bariuh ge' imu ka sabarang Yordan, ge' tentang Ini' imu ngalaka bersaksi, mile mih, Ini' uga membaptis ge' smaan sok dautukng wa-Ini'." 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 PBBR Yohanes naham, "Talino kati kaatn naap jai pun, kacuali hal dakoh gatn mangkatn wa ini' umpatn surga. BSB BSB: John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
28 PBBR Adup imu kaatn mangkatn kesaksian bahwa iko suah nyasana, 'Iko' inya Mesias,' tapi iko' gatn ngutus yak nyatulu A.' BSB BSB: You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
29 PBBR Sok da umpu panganten mahu diu ta panganten are; tapi kawan panganten are, da agutn ge' dangah a', aru ahwatn dangah saratn panganten are. Jadi ahwatn iko diah nga tao ta ahwatn. 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 PBBR Ini' arus smakin ahyo' ge' iko' smakin inek." BSB BSB: He must increase; I must decrease.
31 PBBR "Ini' da nga utukng umpatn samo smaan a,' Ini' da barasal umpatn bumi diu ta umpatn bumi ge' nyasana tentang hal-hal da ani ka bumi. Ini' da ngautukng umpatn surga diu ta mih kasamo smaan tarutn. 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 PBBR Ini' mangkatn kesaksian tentang jai da gatn na mile' ge ni dangah-A, tapi ayo-sok kati kaatn kesaksian-A. BSB BSB: He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.
33 PBBR Sok da kaatn kesaksian-A ngako' nige' sungguh bahwa Jabata dakoh taman. BSB BSB: Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
34 PBBR Sabab, sok da gatn Jabata ngutus nyampe saratn Jabata karna Jabata mangkatn Roh da kati terbatas. BSB BSB: For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
35 PBBR Bapa mase' ge' Anak A' ge' laka nyarah smaan tarutn ka sadatn barekng-A. BSB BSB: The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.
36 PBBR Sok da nga pacaya wa Anak da umpu' idup da kekal, tapi sok da kati mantaati Anak kati ao mile' kaidupan, malain murka Jabata tetap ani wa ini.'" BSB BSB: Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
