John 3 (RMNA) · Opened

1A maškaro fariseja inele jekh manuš palo anav Nikodim, kova inele jekh oto vođe e jevrejengere.Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.

2Jekh rat dželo koro Isus hem phenđa lese: “Rabi, džanaja da e Devlestar injan bičhaldo sar učitelj, adalese so nijekh našti te ćerel esavke čudesna znakija save tu ćereja te o Devel nane oleja.”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.”

3O Isus phenđa lese: “Čače, čače vaćerava će, te o manuš palem na bijanđola, naka šaj te dikhel o carstvo e Devlesoro.”Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

4O Nikodim pučlja le: “Sar šaj o manuš palem te bijanđol kadi purano? Našti, valjda, dujto puti te đerdini ple dajaće ano vođi hem palem te bijanđol!”“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?”

5O Isus phenđa lese: “Čače, čače vaćerava će, te o manuš na bijanđola oto pani hem oto Duho, naka šaj te đerdini ko carstvo e Devlesoro.Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

6Okova soi bijando oto telo, teloi, a soi bijando oto Duho, duhoi.Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.

7Ma čudin tut so phenđum će so valjani palem te bijanđoven.Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’

8I barval phudela kaj mangela; šuneja la, ali na džane kotar avela ni kaj džala. Ađahari svakoneja kovai bijando oto Duho.”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.”

9A o Nikodim pučlja le: “Sar šaj adava te ovel?”“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

10A o Isus phenđa lese: “Tu injan cenime učitelj ano Izrael, a adava na džane!“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?

11Čače, čače vaćerava će: vaćeraja okova so džanaja hem svedočinaja zako okova so dikhljam, ali tumen na prihvatinena amaro svedočanstvo.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.

12Vaćerđum tumenđe oto stvarija save ovena ki phuv, i tumen na verujinena. Sar ka verujinen te vaćerđum tumenđe oto stvarija save ovena ko nebo?If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

13Niko na uštino ko nebo sem o Čhavo e manušesoro kova taro nebo huljilo.No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

14Hem sar so o Mojsije ani pustinja vazdinđa ko štapi e sape oti bronza, ađahar valjani te ovel vazdime hem o Čhavo e manušesoro,Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

15te šaj svako kova verujini ano leste te ovel le večno dživdipe.”that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.

16Adalese so, o Devel edobor volinđa e manušen taro sveto da dinđa ple jekhore Čhave, da svako kova verujini ano leste te na merel, nego te ovel le večno dživdipe.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.

17O Devel na bičhalđa ple Čhave ko sveto te osudini e manušen, nego o manuša te oven spasime prekalo leste.For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

18Ko verujini ano leste, nane osudime, a ko na verujini, ovi već osudime, adalese so na poverujinđa ano anav e Devlesere jekhore Čhavesoro.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.

19A akavai i osuda: o svetlost alo ko sveto, ali o manuša volinde i tomina umesto o svetlost, adalese so lengere delja inele bišukar.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.

20Ko god ćerela bišukaripe, mrzini o svetlost hem na ikljola ko svetlost, te na dičhon lesere delja.Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

21A okova kova živini palo čačipe, ikljola ko svetlost, te dičhol soi lesere delja ćerde ano zoralipe e Devlesoro.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.”

22Palo adava o Isus dželo ple učenikonencar ko gavutno deo e Judejakoro. Adari inele olencar nesavo vreme hem krstini ine.After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.

23A hem o Jovan krstini ine ano than Enon, paše uzalo gav Salim, adalese so adari inele but pani, a o manuša avena ine koro leste te krstini len.Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.

24Adava inele angleder so e Jovane frdinde ano phandlipe.(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)

25A maškaro e Jovanesere učenici hem nesavo aver Jevrejco uli rasprava zako adeti e thojbnasoro.Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.

26I adala učenici ale koro Jovan hem phende lese: “Rabi, okova so inele tuja tari aver strana oti len Jordan, okova kastar tu svedočinđan, eče krstini hem sa edobor manuša džana koro leste.”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.”

27A o Jovan phenđa: “O manuš šaj te primini samo okova soi lese dindo e Devlestar kovai ano nebo.John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.

28Korkore injen maje svedoci so phenđum da me na injum o Hrist, nego da injum bičhaldo anglo leste.You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’

29O mladoženjai okova kasiri i nevesta. A o najšukar amal e mladoženjasoro, kova adžićeri te šunel da o mladoženja avela, radosnoi but kad šunela e mladoženjasoro glaso. I adajai radost mli, hem akana uli pherdi.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.

30Ov valjani te ovel sa po baro, a me sa po tikoro.”He must increase; I must decrease.

31Okova kova avela odupral, ovi upreder sarijende, a okova kovai tari phuv, ovi e phuvjakoro hem vaćeri taro stvarija e phuvjakere. Okova kova avela taro nebo, ovi upreder sarijende.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.

32Ov svedočini zako okova so dikhlja hem šunđa, ali niko na prihvatini lesoro svedočanstvo.He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.

33A ko prihvatini lesoro svedočanstvo, potvrdini dai o Devel čačikano.Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.

34Okova kas o Devel bičhalđa, vaćeri e Devlesere lafija, adalese so o Devel dinđa le pherdeste e Duho.For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

35O Dad volini e Čhave hem sa muklja lese ano vasta.The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.

36Svako kova verujini ano Čhavo, isi le večno dživdipe, a kova nane poslušno e Čhavese, naka ovel le večno dživdipe, nego upro leste ačhola e Devlesiri holi.Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
