Hino pakibhegha mundu yumu Nfalisayu, lihina lyake kakikemwa Nikodemu, kilongohi ghwa Akaayahudi.
BSB
BSB:
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.
2
NWW
Aywo kakinng'endele Yesu pakilo na kunng'ombela, “Labi, tungumanya kukita ghwenga ghu nhunda ywakalaghilitwe na Chapanga, kiyaha kahone mundu yunakuhotola kutenda mihabho ayi yighuyitenda ghwenga, handa Chapanga kabhegha ng'obhe papamu na ywombe.”
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
NWW
Yesu kakinnyanga, “Kulyagila nenga ningughughombela, mundu ywohele ywangabhelekwa paubhili kaahotola ng'obhe kuyingila mu Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga.”
BSB
BSB:
Jesus replied,
“Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
4
NWW
Nikodemu kakinkonya, “Mundu kaahotola bhuli kubhelekwa paubhili? Mundu nahota kaahotola ng'obhe kuyingila mu lutumbo lwa mama ywake pabhili na mbole kabhelekwe kangi!”
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
NWW
Yesu kakinnyanga, “Kulyaghila nenga ningughughombela, kahone mundu ywohele ywakahotola kuyingila mu Ghubhutwa ghwa Chapanga mbaka kabhelekwe kwa machi na Nhuki ywa Chapanga.
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
NWW
Bhandu bhangubhelekwa kuhuma kwa abhele bhake, peni bhandu bhangughalambulwa kubhegha bhana bha Chapanga na Nhuki ywa Chapanga.
BSB
BSB:
Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.
7
NWW
Hino, ghukotoke kukangacha panughughombela ghungunoghwa ghubhelekwe kangi.
BSB
BSB:
Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’
8
NWW
Liyegha lingupula kughenda kwohele kuulipala, ghwayihwa lupulo lwake, peni kahone kulimanya kulihuma ebu kulighenda. Yibha ubhwabhu kwa mundu ywohele ywakabhelekwite kwa Nhuki.”
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
NWW
Nikodemu kakinkonya, “Milando ayi yaahotoleka bhuli?”
BSB
BSB:
“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
10
NWW
Yesu kakinnyanga, “Ghwenga ghu nhunda nhwadali ywa Isilaeli, na ghwenga ghungumanya ng'obhe milando ayi?
BSB
BSB:
“You are Israel’s teacher,”
said Jesus,
“and you do not understand these things?
11
NWW
Kulyaghila nenga ningughughombela, twenga tungukambuka ghatughamanya na kubhoneha lila litulibhona, peni mwenga mungulikana Lilagho lyetu.
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
NWW
Ningubhaghombela milando yiitendeka pannima, na mwenga mungunhyubhalila ng'obhe, manyubhalila bhuli panuaghombela milando ya kunani kwa Chapanga?
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
NWW
Kahone mundu ywohele ywakaghendite kunani kwa Chapanga maha nga ywombe ywakahulukite kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, ywene ndo Mwana ywa Mundu.”
BSB
BSB:
No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
14
NWW
Handa bhula Musa pakannyinulite yula liyoka ywa lihabha kula kukibhala, ubhwabhu abhu Mwana ywa Mundu kangukangunoghwa kuyinulighwa kunani,
BSB
BSB:
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
15
NWW
ili mundu ywohele ywakanhyubhalila kabheghe na ubhumi ghwa manjubha ghoha ghwanga kupela.
BSB
BSB:
that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.
16
NWW
“Kiyaha Chapanga kakighupala nnima mbaka kakimmuha Mwana ghwake ghwa kighweka, ngati kila mundu ywakanhyubhalila kakotoke kuhobha, ngati kabheghe na ubhumi ghwa manjubha ghoha ghanga pela!”
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
NWW
Kiyaha Chapanga kakinnaghila ng'obhe Mwana ghwake ngati kaghutose nnima, maha kaghulopohe nnima.
BSB
BSB:
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
18
NWW
Mundu ywohele ywakanhyubhalila Mwana kaatoswa ng'obhe, peni mundu ywohele ywanga kunhyubhalila Mwana kaatoswa kala, kiyaha kakinhyubhalila ng'obhe Mwana ywa kighweka ywa Chapanga.
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
NWW
Na toso yene ndo ayi, kukita lung'ali luhika pannima, peni bhandu bhalupala lubhindo bhaghulema lung'ali, kwa ndendelo yabhe ya uhokelo.
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
NWW
Kila mundu ywakatenda uhokelo kangulukalalila lung'ali, kangi kanguhika ng'obhe palung'ali ngati mandendelo ghake gha uhokelo ghakotoke kung'alighwa.
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
NWW
Peni bhala bhanakughungila gha hoto bhanguhika palung'ali, ili mandendelo ghabhe ghabhonekane paubhwelo kukita ghatendeka handa paapala Chapanga.
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
NWW
Mbole ya agho, Yesu na ahundwa bhake bhakighenda ku nnima ghwa Yudea, nabho bhakitama akwo manjubha gha mandina na bhakiabatisa bhandu.
BSB
BSB:
After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.
23
NWW
Yohane naywo kakibhegha kangubatisa akwo ku Ainoni ugheghela na kijiji kya Salimu kiyaha akwo kukibhegha na machi ngenju. Bhandu bhakinng'endela akwo ngati bhabatiswe.
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
NWW
Ayi yikibhegha yikali na Yohane kubhopwa kukibhopo.
BSB
BSB:
(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
25
NWW
Linjubhalimu ghakihwimbuka malimbano muamoo bha ahundwa bha Yohane yunakubatisa na Nnyahudi yumu yakya luhumu lwa kitohe kya kukuha yikali ya kutundamila.
BSB
BSB:
Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.
26
NWW
Bhala ahundwa bhakinng'endela Yohane na bhakinng'ombela, “Nhunda, yula mundu ywakabheghite na ghwenga kumwambo ya lukemba lwa Yoludani, ywene ghwenga ghukitughombela mihalo yake, hinu kangubatisa na bhandu atangalo bhangunng'endela.”
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
NWW
Yohane kakiayanga, “Kahone mundu ywakahotola kumokola kilibhi kyohele, ngati mbaka kapeghwe na Chapanga.
BSB
BSB:
John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
28
NWW
Na mwenga ndo ayimiho bha nenga kukita nikilongela, ‘Nenga nu Kilisto ng'obhe ywakahaghulitwe na Chapanga, ngati naghilwa ninnongolele ywombe.’
BSB
BSB:
You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
29
NWW
Nndala yunakutolelwa ndo ywake bambo yunakutolela, peni ghanja ywake bambo yunakutola, kanguyelelwa munu pakaliyihwa lilobhe lya bambo yunakutolela. Hinu nunguyelelwa kyanalumu.
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
NWW
Ywombe yingunnogha kabheghe nkulu munu na nenga yingunnogha meghe nndoko.”
BSB
BSB:
He must increase; I must decrease.
31
NWW
Ywombe ywakahika kuhuma kunani kabhegha kunani kwa bhandu bhoha. Na ywombe ywakabheghite pannima ndo ywa pannima naywo kanguyobhela milando ya pannima, ngati ywombe ywakahikite kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga kabhegha nnkulu kwa bhandu bhoha.
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
NWW
Ywombe kanguaghombela bhandu ghala ghakaghabhonite na kughayihwa, peni kahone mundu ywakauyitikila uyimiho ghwake.
BSB
BSB:
He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.
33
NWW
Peni mundu ywohele ywakauyikitila uyimiho aghwo kanguyimiha kukita ghakalongela Chapanga ndo hoto.
BSB
BSB:
Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
34
NWW
Ywombe ywakalagihitwe na Chapanga kangulongela malagho gha Chapanga, kiyaha Chapanga kangunpegha Nhuki ywake ili kannongohe mundu aywo kwa milando hyoha.

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

Tate kangunpala Mwana, naywo kampegha hilibhi hyoha ili kahitabhale.

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

Mundu ywohele ywakanhyubhalila Mwana ywa Chapanga kangubhegha na ubhumi ghwa manjubha ghoha, peni mundu ywanga kunhyubhalila Mwana kataghubhona ng'obhe ubhumi, ngati kiyaghabhu kya Chapanga kyabhegha unani mwake kyanga uhiko.
