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 PBA Jo, ob Yesus ke'nanya, "Sebe'tul be'tulnya Aku nyakap kena dike'u, kalau seseohang tu tide' de' lae, h agi, die' kok de'pat ngabe'h Kerajaan Allah." BSB BSB: Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

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 PBA Jo, ob Yesus kenanya, "Dengan se'be'tulnya, Aku ka nyakapkena dike'u, kalau se'se'ohang tide' de'lae'hkan agi ae, h, Maya, die' kokkan de'pat masok ke de'lam Kerajaan Allah. 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 PBA Apa nang de'lae, h agi deging ade' ah de'ging apa nang de'lae, hkan agi Maya ade' ah Maya. BSB BSB: Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.

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 PBA Nikodemus be'tanya, "Macam manah munggin semua hal itu te'je'di?" BSB BSB: “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
10 PBA Jo, ob Yesus, "Ken mika ka guhu uhang Israel, tapi mika kok nge'he'ti semua hal ika? BSB BSB: “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?
11 PBA Sebe'ne'h-be'ne'hnya, Aku nyakap kena mika be'he'sanya kame becakap tendang apa nang tau mehi kesaksian tendang apa nang kame' abe'h, tapi mika konak ne'hima kesaksian kame. 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 PBA Kalau Aku me'hi tau dikeu tendang hal- hal se'ste' dunie saje mika konak pecaya, macam manah munggin mika akan pecaya kalau Aku mehi tau tendang hal -hal she'ge? 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 PBA Kok ade' sohang pon pe'he'nah nae'k ke she'ge', kecuali Die nang lah tuhun adi she'ge yaitu Anak Manisia. BSB BSB: No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

17 PBA Ke'hana Tuan Allah mengutus Anak-Nya ke delam ne'nie' buke'n ndok menghakim ne'nie, tapi bie'h ne'nie' de'selamatkan agi Anak-Nya. BSB BSB: For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
18 PBA Uhang nang pecaya kena-Nya kok akan de'hukum, tapi uhang nang kok pecaya lah be'he'de' de' be'wah hukum ke'hana kok pe'caya pade nama Anak Tunge'l Tuan Allah 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 PBA Ikalah hukuman itu, "Te"hang lah detang bek de'lam nenie', tapi manisia lebih nyukan nang ge'lep agi pade te'hang ke'hana apa nang de'buetnya ade ah je'et. 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 PBA Ke'hana setiap uhang nang be'bue't je'et mebe'nji Te'hang konak de; tang juge de' ke Te'hang itubie'h apa nang de'bue'tnya de'se'but. 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 PBA Akan tetapi uhang nang be'nue't hal nang be'ne'h detang kena Tehang itu bie'h de'nyatakan kelakun- kelakunnya itu de'bue't bek delam Tuan Allah," Yohanes besaksi tendang Yesus. 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 PBA Sesude'h itu, Yesus dengan muhit- muhit-Nya pegi ke tanah Yudea. De' situ, Die de'debiskan waktu-Nya be'sama uhang tu dan membaptis. BSB BSB: After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.
23 PBA Yohanes juge' membaptis bek Ainon deke't Salim ke'hana ade benyak ae'h de'situ. Uhang -uhang hami detang dan de'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 PBA Waktu itu, Yohanes blom de'masokkanke de'lamk pe'nye'ha. BSB BSB: (For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
25 PBA Te'je'dilah be'de'be't andaha be'be'he'pa muhit Yohanes mengenai sohang Yahudi mengenai penyucian. BSB BSB: Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.

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 PBA De'Jo, ob Yohanes," Manisia kok de'pat de ne'hima apapon, kecuali hal ika de'behikan kenanya agi she'ge. BSB BSB: John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
28 PBA Mika senihi de'pat me'hu kesaksian be'he'sanya aku pe'he'nah nyakap, "Aku buke'n Mesias,' tapi aku de'utus ondok ngalui-Nya BSB BSB: You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
29 PBA Uhang nang ade se'nio ade' ah kia'sai; tapi seniopua, nang be'dihi ne'nge'ngkannya, pale'ng be'suka hia ne'nge'ng suaha ki'asai. 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 PBA Jedi, sukahia kau ika lah pe'noh. Die. Mak semakin be'se'h aku mak semakin kecik," BSB BSB: He must increase; I must decrease.
31 PBA Die nang de'tang agi atas ade' ah de atas semuanya. Die' be'he'sel agi bumi nyakap tendang hal -hal nang ade' bek buni. Die, nang de; tang agi she'ge' ade' ah bek atas se'ge'lanya seoato. 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 PBA Die mehi kesaksian tendang apa nang de'debe'h de'te'nge'ng-Nya, tapi uhang- uhang kok ne'hima kesaksiann-Nya. BSB BSB: He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.
33 PBA Uhang nang ne'hima kesaksian-Nya de'akui dengan betu' be'he'sanya Tuan Allah itu be'ne'h. BSB BSB: Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
34 PBA Sbe, b, uhang nang de'utus Tuan Allah akan nyambaikan penyakap Tuan Allah ke'hana Tuan Allah nang mehikan Maya nang kok ade' be'tasnya. BSB BSB: For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
35 PBA Bapa mengasihi Anak lah nye'hahkan se'ge'la sesoato ke de'lam tangan-Nya. BSB BSB: The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.
36 PBA Uhang nang pecaya kena Anak depat idup nang kekal, tapi uhang nang kok ta'at ke Anak kok akan nye'ngo, h kehidupan, tapi murka Tuan Allah tetap ade' padenya," 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.”
