Yesu na Nikodemo
1Hakaba haliho Omufarisayo eibaralye Nikodemo, ali mutwazi omu Bayahudi. 2Omushaija ogu aija ahali Yesu omw'itumbi amugambira ati, “Rabi, nitukumanya okwo oli mwegesa ayarugire ahali Ruhanga. Nitumanyira aha kubona okwo taliho muntu yakukora bitangazoki nk'ebyolikukora, shana Ruhanga abe amwemiremu.” 3Yesu amuhorora ati, “Nkugambire amazima, omuntu k'atazairwe bundi buhya taina kubona bukama bwa Ruhanga.” 4Nikodemo amubaza ati, “Omuntu ayagurusire yakuzarwa atai bundi buhya? Agaruke omuli nyina azarwe elya kabili?” 5Yesu amuhorora ati, “Nkugambire amazima, omuntu k'atazairwe mu maizi na mu Mwoyo tiyakutaha mu bukama bwa Ruhanga. 6Ekyakazarwa omubili kiba mubili, n'ekyakazarwa Mwoyo guba Mwoyo. 7Otatangara kubona ninkugambira okwo olikuragirwa kuzarwa bundi buhya. 8Omuyaga kagwihya gugya mbali gwayenda, mara ohulira akahiliro kagwo. Kyonkai mbali gulikuruga na mbali gulikugya tohamanya. N'omuntu azairwe Mwoyo nikwo ali atyo.” 9Nikodemo amubaza ati, “Eki kyakuba kitai?” 10Yesu amushubamu ati, “Iwe omuli Isiraeli oba mwegesa, kyashuba kyakulema kukishobokerwa? 11Nkugambire amazima, ebyo tulikugamba nitubimanya, n'ebyo tuboine nitubijulira; kyonkai ebyo tulikubagambira timulikubikiliza. 12Kandabagambira eby'omu nsi mutabikiliize isi kandabagambira eby'omw'iguru murabiikiliza mutai? 13Taliho aragiire mw'iguru, shana Omwana w'Omuntu ayarugireyo. 14Okwo Musa yahanikire enjoka omw'irungu nikwo Omwana w'Omuntu alikuragirwa atyo kuhanikwa, 15wena alikamwesiga aije abone oburora obutahwaho.
16“Ruhanga akagonza ensi muno yagoba n'aha kuhayo Omwanawe omumoi, wena alimwikiliza talifa, nawe abone oburora obutahwaho. 17Ruhanga akatuma Omwanawe omu nsi kugirokora, tikugiramura. 18Amwikiliza taramurwa, kandi atamwikiliza ogwo yaramwirwe, aha rw'okuba taikiliza Mwana omumoi wa Ruhanga. 19Eiramu niligenda liti: Omushana gukaija omu nsi, abantu bagonza omwilima kushaaga omushana gwonene, enshonga ebikorwa byabo bikaba bili bibi. 20Manyasi buli muntu akora kubi anoba omushana, mara taija aha mushana ebikorwabye bitaija bikazoka. 21Ayakora eky'amazima aija aha mushana, kishobore kumanyika okwo ebigirobye bilikuruga ahali Ruhanga.”
Yesu na Yohana
22Ebyo kabyahoire, Yesu n'abegesibwabe bagya Buyahudi; aikarayo nabo abatiza. 23Na Yohana hakaba nabatiliza Enoni bwatana Salimu, aha rw'enshonga kulinya bhakaba haliyo amaizi gangi. Abantu baija babatizibwa. 24Nomanya omu bir'ebyo Yohana hakaba atakafungirwe.
25Aho agya aimukwa empaka omu begesibwa ba Yohana n'Omuyahudi omoi, bahakanira okunaba. 26Bagoba Yohana bamugambira bati, “Rabi, owo mubaire muli hamoi buseli bwa Yorudani, ow'obare nojulira ali aha nabatiza, mara abantu bona nibagya ahali wenene.” 27Yohana abahorora ati, “Taliho muntu n'omoi ayakubona kintu kyona kyona atakihairwe kuruga mw'iguru. 28Inywe nywenene nimunjulira okwo nagambire okwo ntali Kirisito, shana nkatumwa kumwebembera. 29Omuntu aina omugore bamweta kishwera. Munywanyi wa kishwera k'ayemelera akamuhulira, ak'ahulira n'eirakalye ayeshanda muno. Aha rw'ekyo ebyera byange ebi byagobelera. 30Wenene aragiirwe kukura, inye ndagiirwe kutoha.”
Ayarugire omw'iguru
31Ayarugire omw'iguru nashaga bona. Omuntu ow'omu nsi aba w'ensi, mara afumora eby'ensi; ayarugire omw'iguru nashaga bona. 32Mujulizi w'ebyo yahuliire n'ebyo yaboine, kyonkai eby'alikugamba taliho alikubikiliza. 33Alikwikiliza eby'alikugamba, omu kwikiliza okwo naba nahamisa okwo Ruhanga aba w'amazima. 34Kuba owo Ruhanga atumire nagamba ebigambo bya Ruhanga, aha rw'enshonga Ruhanga k'alikumuha Mwoyo amumuha wena. 35Ish'emuntu agonza Omwanawe, mara byona abimutaire omu bushoborabwe. 36Aikiliza Mwana agira oburora obutalihwaho. Atahulira Mwana talibona burora, shana ekiliho Ruhanga aliikara amubonabonyize.
