Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.
2
MGH2016
Nihuku nimoka Nanikodemo nkayaanrwelha Yesu uhiyu, ni umwiirelha, “Rabi, nihochuwelha wiira inyuva phi Owiittuchiha nrumiye ni Nlhuku. Khaawo ntu nooria upanga cho ushangiha chinopangacha inyu Nlhuku ahikhalheke vamoka ni uyo.”
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
MGH2016
Yesu nkaakhulha, “Ikekheene kinouhimeriani, ntu khanooria woona Umwene wa Nlhuku ahiyarieke tho.”
BSB
BSB:
Jesus replied,
“Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
4
MGH2016
Nanikodemo nkayaakoha, “Ntu nkumi noorieke chani ukelha munthunkwani mwa anumwanawe, ni uyariya wo nayelhi?”
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
MGH2016
Yesu nkaakhulha, “Ikekheene kinouhimeriani, ntu ahiyarieke wo maashi ni wo Iphumu ya Nlhuku, ata veeriye chani khanooria ukelha Imwene ya Nlhuku.
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
MGH2016
Ntu noyaria wo iruttu wa athumwanawe ni anumwanawe, nansho noyaria munnepani wo Iphumu ya Nlhuku.
BSB
BSB:
Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.
7
MGH2016
Nhishange ukhalhawaya kihouhimeriani wiira ihophwanelhiya mwaattiva onkhaye vaa uyaria wo nayelhi.
BSB
BSB:
Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’
8
MGH2016
Iphioo inowuka ni ukelha unothanana aya, nnowiiwa vanowuka aya, nansho khannochuwelha unokhumelhelha aya mena unokelhelha aya. Phiri aya thoko ntu yarelhe wo Iphumu ya Nlhuku.”
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
MGH2016
Nanikodemo nkayankoha Yesu, “Yoyo mwaha uyo unoorieke chani?”
BSB
BSB:
“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
10
MGH2016
Yesu nkaakhulha, “Chani, inyuva ngati phi owiittuchiha attu o Uisraeli nhichuwelhe yoyo mwaha uyo?
BSB
BSB:
“You are Israel’s teacher,”
said Jesus,
“and you do not understand these things?
11
MGH2016
Ikekheene kinouhimeriani, hiyaano ninohimiacha ichuwenlhe ihu ni uhimiechesha yonne ihu, nansho mwaattiva khannorumelhelha nttenga wihu.
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
MGH2016
Akhalhaka kihouhimeriani mwaha wo velhaponi ni inyu khannokirumelhelha, nnorieke chani urumelhelha koohimeriakani mwaha wo wiirimu?
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
MGH2016
Khaawo ntu aapanche urwaa uchulhu wiirimu ahikhalhe Mwaana a Ntu, aakhuruwilhe ukhuma wiirimu.”
BSB
BSB:
No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

Thoko ashinna Musa vaatheshilhe aya nchulhu inwaa yo shaba vamwirini uthakoni ulhe, ni uyo Mwaana a Ntu nootheshiya nchulhu chiichammo,
BSB

Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
15

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
MGH2016
Nlhuku khaanrumme Mwaana awe velhaponi awe aahukumulha attu, nansho oopolhe.
BSB
BSB:
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
18
MGH2016
“Attu onkhaye anonrumelhelha Mwaana khanohukumulhiya, ahinonrumelhelha ahomalha uhukumulhiya, ukhalhawaya kharumelhenlhe nchina no Mwaana a Nlhuku o yekha awe.
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
MGH2016
Ni ihukumu ene phi ilha, nthuko uhowa velhaponi, nansho attu anothanana ipiphi ahittunaka nthuko, ukhalhawaya chittu chinopangacha aya chiri cho uhilhoka.

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.

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.”

Nayohana chiicho aari aabatiizaka attu Uainoni, iwani yaatameria Usalimu, ukhalhawaya wowo ahokhalha maashi menchi. Attu nkayanrweelha, ni ayo nkaabatiizacha.

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.”

You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
29

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
