Yowana 3:3-30

³A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Kweli ngunakummalanjila, mundu akabhelekwe gwabhili, akagubhona Upalume gwa a Nnungu.”

⁴A Nikodemo gubhaabhushiye, “Mundu jwa nkulungwa pa bhelekwa gwabhili shanabhuli? Shakombole bhuli kujinjila nnipitiu lya akwabhe nibhelekwa gwabhili!”

⁵A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Kweli ngunakummalanjila, mundu akabhelekwe kwa mashi na kwa Mbumu jwa a Nnungu, akakombola kujinjila mu Upalume gwa a Nnungu.

⁶Shibhelekwe kwa shiilu ni shiilu na shibhelekwe kwa Mbumu ni mbumu.

⁷Nnaimonje pabha njibheleketa kuti, nnapinjikwanga mmelekwanje gwabhili.

⁸Mbungo jinapuga niloya kujipinga, mpugo gwakwe gunapilikanika, ikabheje kukamanyika kuukoposhela wala kuukwenda. Nneyo peyo puili kuka mundu abhelekwa kwa Mbumu jwa a Nnungu.”

⁹A Nikodemo gubhaabhushiye, “Genega shigakomboleshe shanabhuli?”

¹⁰A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Mmwe mmaajiganya bha pa Ishilaeli, bhuli, nnagamanye genega?

¹¹Kweli ngunakummalanjila, uwe tunabheleketa itukwimanya nikong'ondela ituibhweni, ikabheje mmanganya nkaakundanga ntenga gwetu.

¹²Monaga nkaakulupalipanga indu ya pa shilambolyo inimmalanjilenje, shinkulupalilanje bhuli nimmalanjilangaga indu ya kunnungu?

¹³Jwakwa jojowe apite kunnungu, ikabhe nne Mwana juka Mundu ngopweshe kunnungu.

¹⁴“Malinga a Musha shibhannjinwile kunani nnuishi lijoka jwa alaywa na shabha kuanga kula, nneyo peyo inapinjikwa nne Mwana juka Mundu nyinulwe kunani,

¹⁵nkupinga jojowe shakulupalile akole gumi gwa pitipiti.”

¹⁶Pabha a Nnungu bhashinkwaapinganga bhandu pa shilambolyo, mpaka gubhampeleshe mwanagwabho jwa jika, nkupinga jojowe shankulupalile anaobhe, ikabhe akole gumi gwa pitipiti.

¹⁷Pabha a Nnungu bhangampeleka mwanagwabho kushilambolyo nkupinga aukumule bhandu, ikabhe kwabhatapulanje.

¹⁸“Akunkulupalila Mwana jwa a Nnungu akaukumulwa, ikabheje akakunkulupalila jwenejo aukumwilwe, pabha jwangankulupalila Mwana jwa jika jwa a Nnungu.

¹⁹Bhashiukumulwanga pabha, shilangaya shiishe pa shilambolyo, ikabheje bhandunji gubhapinjilenje lubhindu kupunda shilangaya, kwa ligongo lya itendi yabhonji yangali ya mmbone.

²⁰Mundu jojowe atenda yambi shinakunshima shilangaya, na akabhandishila ku shilangaya, pabha akaapinga itendi yakwe ya yambi imanyishe.

²¹Ikabheje atenda itendi ya mmbone anakwiya ku shilangaya, nkupinga imanyishe kuti itendi yakwe ni yakomboywa na a Nnungu.”

²²Gakapiteje genego, a Yeshu na bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhapitengenenje mmbali ja ku Yudea, gubhatemi kweneko bhalibhatisha bhandu.

²³Na bhalabho a Yowana kubhaaliji ku Ainoni, tome na ku Shalemu bhalibhatisha bhandu, pabha kweneko gashinkupagwa mashi gamagwinji. Bhandu gubhaajendelenje, na bhalabho gubhaabhatishenje.

²⁴Gene mobhago a Yowana pubhaliji bhakanabhe kamulwa nitabhwa.

²⁵Jishinkukoposhela mitau ja bhaajiganywa bha a Yowana na bhayaudi bhamo ga nkubho gwa Shiyaudi gwa tawasha.

²⁶Bhai bhaajiganywa bhala gubhaajendelenje a Yowana nikwaalugulila, “Mmaajiganya, mundu aaliji na mmwe kung'ambu lushi lwa Yolodani jumwakong'ondele ga ngani jakwe jula, na jwalakwe nnaino anabhatisha na bhandu bhabhagwinji bhanakunnjendelanga.”

²⁷A Yowana gubhajangwile, “Mundu nngakola shoshowe akapegwe na a Nnungu kukoposhela kunnungu.

²⁸Numbe mwaashayene nnikong'ondelanga kuti nantashiyenje kuti, ‘Nne nngabha a Kilishitu Bhagombola, ikabhe njitumwa nkupinga naalongolele!’

²⁹Jwenejo malinga nkulomba, na nne malinga mmbwiga mwine nkulomba, ajima nkulindilila nkulomba aishe, anakwiinonyela kwa kaje paapilikana lilobhe lika nkulomba alikwiiya. Bhai, kwa nneyo kwiinonyela kwangu kutimilile kwa pilikana genego.

³⁰Inapinjikwa bhenebho bhapunde kukuywa, nne mujile nnyuma.”
