Johannes 3:1-36
3 Opa li omulumenhu Omufarisai wedina Nikodemus, umwe womovawiliki vOvajuda.
2 Opo nee okwe uya kuJesus oufiku, ndele ta ti kuye: “Muhongi,* otu shi shii kutya ove omuhongi a dja kuKalunga, osheshi kaku na omunhu ta dulu okulonga oikumwifilonga oyo to longo, okuninga a pewa eenghono kuKalunga.”
3 Jesus okwa tya kuye: “Oshili ohandi ku lombwele, kape na omunhu ta dulu okuya mOuhamba waKalunga okuninga a dalululwa.”*
4 Nikodemus okwa tya kuye: “Ngeenge omunhu okwa kula nale, ongahelipi ta dulu okudalululwa? Mbela ota dulu ngoo okushuna moshidalelo shaina ndele ta dalwa vali?”
5 Jesus okwe mu nyamukula ta ti: “Oshili ohandi ku lombwele, kape na ou ta dulu okuya mOuhamba waKalunga okuninga ta ninginifwa momeva nokupewa omhepo iyapuki.*
6 Osho sha dalwa kombelela osho ombelela, naasho sha dalwa komhepo osho omhepo.
7 Ino kumwa eshi handi ku lombwele kutya: Omu na okudalululwa.
8 Omhepo otai pepe oku ya hala nou i udite, ashike ku shii oku tai di naako ya finda. Hano osho osho shi li ngaho kwaavo va dalwa komhepo.”
9 Opo nee Nikodemus okwa tya kuye: “Ongahelipi osho tashi dulu okuningwa?”
10 Jesus okwa ti: “Ove omuhongi womuIsrael, ndele omolwashike uhe shii oinima ei?
11 Oshili ohandi ku lombwele, ohatu popi osho tu shii nokuhepaulula osho twa mona, ashike nye inamu tambula ko ehepaululo olo twe mu pa.
12 Ngeenge ohandi mu lombwele oinima yokombada yedu ndele itamu itavele, ongahelipi tamu ka itavela ngeenge onde mu lombwele ei yomeulu?
13 Ndele kape na omunhu a londa a ya meulu, kakele kOmona womunhu ou a dja meulu.
14 Ngaashi Moses a li a endjelelifa eyoka mombuwa, Omona womunhu naye ota ka endjelelifwa,
15 opo keshe ou te mu itavele* a ka mone omwenyo waalushe.
16 “Molwaashi Kalunga oku hole ounyuni neenghono, okwa yandja Omona waye ewifa, opo keshe ou te mu itavele* aha hanaunwe po ndele a ka mone omwenyo waalushe.
17 Kalunga ina tuma Omona waye mounyuni e u tokole, ndele opo ounyuni u xupifwe okupitila muye.
18 Keshe ou a itavela muye ita tokolwa. Ndele ou ina itavela okwa tokolwa nale, molwaashi ina itavela medina lOmona waKalunga ewifa.
19 Onghee ouyelele owe uya mounyuni, ndele ovanhu ponhele yokukala ve hole ouyelele, ove hole omilaulu shaashi oilonga yavo oii, nomolwaasho otava ka tokolwa.
20 Keshe ou ha longo owii oku tonde ouyelele, noihe uya pouyelele opo oilonga yaye iha monike.*
21 Ndele keshe ou ha longo osho sha yuka ohe uya pouyelele, opo oilonga yaye i monike kutya oi li metwokumwe nehalo laKalunga.”
22 Konima yaasho, Jesus novahongwa vaye ova ya komikunda daJudea, oko a kala oule wefimbo pamwe navo nova li tava ninginifa.
23 Ndele Johannes naye okwa li ta ninginifa muAinon popepi naSelim, molwaashi omwa li omeva mahapu novanhu ova li tave uya kuye va ninginifwe.
24 Pefimbo opo Johannes ka li natango a tulwa modolongo.
25 Ovahongwa vaJohannes ova li tava tu eemhata nOmujuda umwe shi na sha nanghee omunhu e na okukala a koshoka koshipala shaKalunga.
26 Opo nee ove uya kuJohannes ndele tava ti kuye: “Omuhongi,* omulumenhu winya wa li naye koushilo waJordan, oo wa li ho hepaulula, ota ninginifa, novanhu aveshe otava i kuye.”
27 Johannes okwa ti: “Omunhu ita dulu okukala na sha okuninga e shi pewa kuKalunga.
28 Omwa uda eshi nda popile kutya, ‘Ame haame Kristus, ndele Kalunga okwa tuma nge ndi tetekele Kristus.’
29 Keshe oo e na omuhombolwa oye omuhomboli. Ndele kaume komuhomboli ngeenge e li ofika popepi naye ndele ta udu ta popi, oha kala a hafa unene. Onghee naame onda hafa unene.
30 Oilonga yaye otai hapupala ofimbo yange tai ninipala.”
31 Ou a dja pombada oku dule vakwao aveshe. Ou a dja kedu owokedu noha popi oinima yokedu. Ndele ou a dja meulu oku dule vakwao aveshe.
32 Okwa hepaulula osho a mona nokwa uda, ashike kape na nande oumwe a tambula ko ehepaululo laye.
33 Keshe oo a tambula ko ehepaululo laye okwa dimina kutya Kalunga omunashili.
34 Ndele ou a tumwa kuKalunga oha popi eendjovo daKalunga osheshi Kalunga iha ngungunine* omhepo yaye.
35 Xe oku hole Omona nokwa yandja oinima aishe momake aye.
36 Keshe ou a itavela* Omona oku na omwenyo waalushe, ashike ou iha dulika kOmona ita ka mona omwenyo, ndele ota ka hangwa kehandu laKalunga.
