1 PBDT Tege siku urang Farisi banamae Nikodemus. Inya iyaham pamimpin bangsa Yahudi. BSB BSB: Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.
2 PBDT Katikae malam, inya datang ka Yesus lalue bapaner, "Rabi, kamie ingat bahwa Kolaie iyaham Gurue am datang mulae Hatalla laie hontae arae urang gin am ulih mangaruh tanae-tanae heran am kolaie karuh, kacualie Hatalla tege barotaenya." 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 PBDT Timat Yesus kannya, "Sabujur-bujurnya Aku bapaner kakolaie, jakae siku urang hontae diriwah mulae, inya mayan mailae Karajaan Hatalla." BSB BSB: Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
4 PBDT Nikodemus batanya, "Apae mungkin siku urang ulih diriwah baulang mulae inya jadi tuhae? Ulihkah inya tamae mulae kalalam porut inainya lalue diriwah mulae?" 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 PBDT Timat Yesus kannya, "Sabujurnya, Aku bapaner kakolae, jakae siku urang hontae di riwah mulae arae umakan Roh, inya hontae ulih tamae ka lalam Karajaan Hatalla. 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 PBDT Apae am diriwah mulae tuwuh iyaham tuwuh, lalue apae am diriwah mulae Roh iyaham roh. BSB BSB: Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.
7 PBDT Hinang heran laie Aku bapaner ka kolai, 'Kolai musti di riwah mula.' BSB BSB: Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’
8 PBDT Riwut batiup kamanih jam inya hona lalu kolai manogar bungienya, tapi kolai honta ingat mula manih asalnya lalu kamanih inya akan badari. Bera iyah jam akan satiap urang am di riwah mula 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 PBDT Nikodemus batanya, "Apa mungkin uras iyah tajadi?" BSB BSB: “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
10 PBDT Yesus timat, "Tarienya kolai guru urang Israel, tapi kolai honta paham uras itie? BSB BSB: “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?
11 PBDT Sabujurnya, Aku mamaner ka kolai laie kami bapaner tahoyue apa am kami ingat lalu mamori kasaksian tahoyue apa am kami ilae, tapi kolai honta manarima kasaksian kami. 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 PBDT Amun Aku mamarahmu tahoyue hal duniawi mah kolai honta parcaya, apa mungkin kolai akan parcaya amun Aku mamarahkanmu tahoyue 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 PBDT Mayan siku urang mun basa naie ka surga, kacuali Inya am jadi turun mula surga, iyaham Ana Kalunen. BSB BSB: No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
14 PBDT Samah bera Musa maninggie ular tamagae ka padang pasir, bera iyah jam Ana Kalunen musti di incang, BSB BSB: Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
15 PBDT nyaman satiap urang parcaya ka Inya baulih hirup kekal. BSB BSB: that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.
17 PBDT Laie Hatalla mautus Ana-Nya ka lalam dunia bukan akan mahakimi dunia, tapi nyaman dunia kona salamat malalu Ana-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 PBDT Urang am parcaya ka Inya honta akan basa kona hukum, tapi urang am honta parcaya jadi tege ka loba hukuman laie inya honta parcaya ka nama Ana Tunggal Hatalla. 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 PBDT Itielah hukuman iyah: Torang jadi datang ka lalam dunia, tapi kalunen lobih rajin potang mula torang laie apa am urang gawie iyaham jahat. 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 PBDT Laie satiap urang am bagawie jahat gili kan torang lalu honta datang jam ka torang iyah nyaman gawienya honta kona tahoyue. 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 PBDT Tapi, urang am mangawie kabujur datang ka torang iyah nyaman kona nyata gawienya iyah kona gawienya ka lalam Hatalla." 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 PBDT Limah iyah, Yesus umakan kawan murid-Nya badari ka tanah Yudea. Diah, Inya mahabiskan waktu basamah urang lalu mampanie. BSB BSB: After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.
23 PBDT Yohanes jam mampanie ka Ainon damping Salim laie tege banya araie diah. Urang datang lalu kona panie. 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 PBDT Metuh iyah, Yohanes hompan kano tama ka lalam panjara. BSB BSB: (For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
25 PBDT Lalu, timullah pardebatan antara babarapa murid Yohanes lalu siku urang Yahudi tahoyue pamarasih. BSB BSB: Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.
26 PBDT Urang badapat Yohanes lalu bapaner, "Guru, Urang am basamahmu ka sorap Yordan, am tentang Inya kolai jadi basaksi, ilae, Inya jam mambaptis lalu uras urang datang ka Inya." 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 PBDT Yohanes timat,"Kalunen honta ulih manarima apa jam, kacuali hal iyah kona borinya mula surga. BSB BSB: John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
28 PBDT Kolai kaniri ulih mamori kasaksian laie aku basa bapaner,'Aku bukan Mesias,' tapi aku kona suruh nanyahelu-Nya. BSB BSB: You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
29 PBDT Urang am bagora panganten labini iyaham panganten kalaki; tapi sahabat mampelai kalaki, am badiri lalu manongarkannya, bujur ramie manongar suara panganten kalaki. Jadi, kasanang iyah gin ponuh. 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 PBDT Inya harus makin bakah lalu aku harus makin konie." BSB BSB: He must increase; I must decrease.
31 PBDT "Inya am datang mula tingie iyaham ka tingie urasnya, Inya am asalnya mulae tanah lalu bapaner tentang hal am tege ka tanah. Inya am datang mula surga iyaham ka tingie sagalanya. 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 PBDT Inya mamori kasaksian tahoyue apa am kona ilae lalu kona dongar-Nya, tapi urang honta manarima kasaksian-Nya. BSB BSB: He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.
33 PBDT Urang am manarima kasaksian-Nya mangaku bujur Hatalla iyah bujur. BSB BSB: Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
34 PBDT Sabab. Urang am disuruh Hatalla akan mangesah pamaner Hatalla laie Hatalla mamorie Roh mayan honyangnya. BSB BSB: For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
35 PBDT Ompaie mangasih Ana lalue manyorah sagalae hak akan-Nya. BSB BSB: The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.
36 PBDT Urang am parcayae akan Ana bagorae hirup am sapalamatnya, tapi urang honta manulat Ana hontae akan mailae hirup, tapi pangusar Hatalla tatap tege kannya." 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.”
