Yohana 3:1-33

¹Basi kwajhele ni Farisayo ambajhe lihina lya muene Nikodemo, mmonga wa bhajumbe wa baraza lya bhayahudi.

²Munu ojho andotili Bwana Yesu pakilu ni kun'jobhela, “Rabi, tumanyili kujha bhebhe mwalimu kuh'omela kwa K'yara, kwa maana ajhelepi munu jha ibhwesya kubhomba ishara ese syoha sya K'yara isipokujha pamonga ni bhebhe.”

³Yesu ajibili, “Aminiayi, aminiayi, munu ibhwesyalepi kujhingila mu bhufalme bhwa k'yara kama ahogiliki lepi mara jha pili.”

⁴Nikodemo akajobha,” Munu ibhwesya bhuli kuh'ogoleka akajhelayi nseya? Ibhwesya lepi kujhingila mu lileme mwa nyinamunu mara ya pili ni kuhogoleka, je ibhwesya?”

⁵Yesu ajibili, “Aminiayi, aminiayi munu kama ahogoliki lepi kwa masi ni kwa Roho, ibhwesya lepi kujhingila mu bhufalme bhwa K'yara.

⁶Kyakihogoliki ni mb'ele ni mb'ele, na kyakihogoliki kwa Roho ni roho.

⁷Usishangali kwa ndabha nakujobhili, 'ni lazima kuh'ogoleka mara jha pili.'

⁸Mp'ongo ghwibhuma popoha pa wilonda ni sauti jhiake mukajhipeleka, lakini mumanyilepi kwa wihoma wala kwa wilota. Ndivyo kyajhijhele hali jha kila jhaahogoliki ni roho.

⁹Nikodemo ajibili, kwa kujobha, “Mambo agha ghibhwessekana bhuli?”

¹⁰Yesu akan'jibu, “Bhebhe ghwa mwalimu wa Israeli, hata ughamanyi lepi mambo agha?

¹¹Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikujobhela khela kyatukimanyili tukakishuhudila kwa khela kya tukibhuene. Lakini mwipokela lepi bhushuda bhwa tete.

¹²Kama nibhajobhili mambo agha apa pa duniani na mwiamini lepi, mubetakuamini bhuli nikabhajobhilayi mambo gha kumbinguni?

¹³Maana ajhelepi jha akwelili kunani kuhomela kumbinguni isipokujha muene jhaaselili, Mwana ghwa Adamu.

¹⁴Kama vile Musa kya ajhinuili liyoka jangwani, mebhu ni Mwana ghwa Adamu lazima ajhinulibhwayi,

¹⁵ili kwamba bhoha bhabhibetakumwamini bhakabhayi uzima bhwa milele.

¹⁶Kwa maana jinsi ejhe K'yara abhuganili bhulimwengu, kwamba akambosya mwanamunu ghwa pekee, ili kwamba munu yeyioha jhaakamwamini asijhangamili bali ajhelayi ni uzima bhwa milele.

¹⁷Kwa ndabha K'yara antumilepi mwanamunu pa dunia ili kubhuhukumu ulimwengu, bali ulimwengu uokolibhwayi kup'etela muene.

¹⁸Jhaibetakumwamini muene ibetalepi kuhukumulibhwa. Bhebhe jhaiamini lepi tayari amalikuhukumulibhwa kwa ndabha abelikuliamini lihina lya Mwana pekee ghwa K'yara.

¹⁹Ejhe ndo sababu jha hukumu, jha kujha nuru ihidili ulimwengu, lakini bhanadamu bhaganili ngisi zaidi jha nuru kwandabha matendo gha bhene ghajhe maovu.

²⁰kila munu jhaibhomba mabhibhi akayidadila nuru wala ihidalepi mu nuru ili matendo gha muene ghasihidi kubhakibhwa wazi.

²¹Lakini, muene jha ibhomba kweli ihida mu nuru ili matendo gha muene ghabhonekanayi kujha ghabhombibhu kwa utiifu bhwa K'yara.

²²Baada jha agha, Yesu pamonga ni bhanafunzi bha muene bhakalota mpaka nchi ya Yudea. Okhu atumili muda pamonga nabhu na abatisieghe.

²³Henu Yohana pia ajhele ibatisya okhu Ainea karibu ni Salim maana kwajhele ni masi mingi pala. Bhanu bhakajha bhihida kwa muene ni kubatisibhwa,

²⁴kwa kujha Yohana ajheasopibhulepi mu ligereza.

²⁵Kisha ghatokili mabishano kati jha bhanafunzi bha Yohana ni Myahudi kuhusu sikukuu sya utakaso.

²⁶Bhakalota kwa Yohana bhakan'jobhela, “Rabi, muene jhaukajhenaku kwiselya ya kiholo Yorodani, muene ghwashuhudili habari sya muene, langayi, ibatisya ni bhoha bhilota bhakan'kesya.”

²⁷Yohana ajibili munu ibhwesyalepi kupokela khenu kyokyoha isipokujha kama apelibhu kuh'omela kumbinguni.

²⁸Mwejhomu mwishuhudila kujha najobhili kujha, 'nene na Kristu lepi', badala jhiake najobhili, 'nitumibhu mbele jha muene.'

²⁹Muene jha ajhe ni bibi arusi ndo bwana arusi. Henu rafiki wa bwana arusi, jhaijhema ni kup'elekesya ifurahibhwa sana kwa ndabha jha sauti jha bwana arusi. Ejhe henu ndo furaha jha nene jha jhitimiliki.

³⁰Ilondeka kuzidi, nani nilondeka kup'ongola.

³¹Muene jha ihoma kunani, ajhele panani pa fyoha. Muene jha ajhele ghwa ulimwengu ihomela kuulimwengu na ilongela mambo gha kiulimwengu. Muene jha ihomela kumbinguni ajhele panani pa ghoha.

³²Muene ishuhudila ghala ghaaghabhwene ni kughap'eleka, lakini ajhelepi jhaipokela ushuhuda bhwa mwene.

³³Muene jha apokili ushuhuda bhwa muene ahakikishi kujha K'yara ndo mkweli.
