Yesu na Nikodemo
1Hambiya, heja howa na munhu yumonga wa Mafalisayo, yakwinangwa Nikodemo, mukulu wa Wayahudi. 2Munhu yuno yamwijila Yesu nechilo na kugamba, “Labi, chimanya gweye fina kwa mwalimu na kulawa kwa Mulungu, kosoko hechaka munhu yakudaha kugolosa fitangilo fina fino foukugoloa gweye, inghowa iMulungu nghehamwedu naye.”
3Yesu hoyomubidula, “Chawelu chawelu nikukutamila, imunhu yanghaleka kwelekwa kwa usha, nghodaha kuwona undewa we Mulungu.”
4Nikodemo yamugamba, “I munhu yakudaha kwelekigwa nhani yanghowa musehe? Yakudaha kwingila kahi munda mwe ing'ina na kwelekigwa?”
5Yesu hakamubidula, “Chawelu, chawelu nikumutamilani imunhu yanghaleka kwelekigwa kwa meji na Muhe, ghodaha kwingila ku undewa we Mulungu. 6Achiya chelekigwe kwa mutufi ni mutufi, na chiya chelekigwe kwa Muhe ni muhe. 7Unghakisine kosoko nikugambile fina, yagila kwelekigwa kwa usha. 8Imheho ikutowa foikwenda iyecho, mukuhulika dibumo dyakwe, ninga musikumanya ikulawa hoki kahi ikuluta hoki; nheifo nofoyuwile ku chila muunhu yelekigwe kwa Muhe.”
9Nikodemo hakamugamba, “Yodahika nhani kuwa nheifo?”
10Yesu yabidula yakugamba, “Agweye kwa mwalimu wa Isilaeli na simbuli sino nghusimanyile. 11Chawelu, chawelu nikukutamila fina, chikulonga adiya dyo chimanyile, na kukuhomelela kugaya gochonile, ninga nyeye musikuhokela uhomelesi wetu. 12Nghonaga nimutamileni simbuli sa muisi nanye musikuhuwila, mohuwila nhani ninghamutamilani simbuli si kulanga. 13Kwechaka munhu wowose yakwilile kulanga ninga ayuya do yadululike kulawa kulanga iMwana wa Munhu.
14“Kahi fina iMusa foyenula dijoka diya munyika, nheifo iMwana we Munhu kokwinuligwa. 15Uleke chila munhu iyakumuhuwila yowe na uwumi wa majuwa gose. 16Mulungu kachenda ichilunga lugano, hoyomulafa iMwanagwe iyumwedu du uleke chila munhu iyakumuhuwila yang'hagilile ninga yowe na uwumi wa majuwa gose. 17Kosoko Mulungu nghamwigale iMwanagwe amuno muchilunga, uleke yachilamule ichilunga, ninga ichilunga chihonyigwe ne imwene. 18Iyakumuhuwila imwene nghakuliganisigwa; inghakumuhuwila imwene kafulusa kuliganisigwa, kosoko nghadihuwile disina dye iMwana yumwedu we Mulungu.
19“Auno no ulamusi, fina ujelu wija muchilunga awanhu howokwenda ichisa kusuma ujelu, kosoko sinhenda sawo hasuwa sihile. 20Kosoko chila munhu yakugolosa gehile yakuudesekela ujelu, kahi nghakwija ku ujelu sinhenda sakwe singhonigwe. 21Ninga ayuya iyakugolosa ichawelu yakwija kuujelu, uleke yoneke hajelu fina kagolosa kwa Mulungu.”
Yesu na Yohana mubatisaji
22Kulawa baho Yesu na wefusa wakwe hawaluta kuisi ya Uyahudi, hakasinda uko hamwedu nawo na kubatisa. 23Yohana naye yendeyobatisa, ako Ayinoni, habehi na Salimu kosoko uko hakuwa na meji mengi, awanhu wendewomulutila na kubatisigwa. 24Kosoko Yohana hakowa nghenati yagumigwe kuchifungo.
25Howolawanisa nyikusha mugati ya wefusa wa Yohana na Muyahudi yumonga kosoko ya usunhaji. 26Howomulutila Yohana na kumugamba, “Labi ayuya yowile nagwe umwambu wa Yolodani, wowahomelele, kabahano, yakubatisa, na wose wakumulutila imwene.”
27Yohana hakabidula, “I munhu ng'hakudaha kuwa na chinhu chochose ichene chonghenghigwe kulawa kulanga. 28Anye muwecho mukudaha kuhamelela, fina hanigamba, ‘Aniye siyo no Kilisito, ninga nigaligwa nimulongolele!’ 29Iyenaye mutoligwa, no mutolaji. Imbwi yakwe we mutolaji, iyakwima na kumutegelesa, yakusekelela lugano foyakuhulika dijwi dye mutolaji. Kosoko iyo ichinyemi changu hambiya chimemelesigwa. 30Imwene yongeseke ninga aniye nihunguke.”
Iyakulawa kulanga
31“Imwene iyekwija kulawa kulanga ni mukulu kusuma wose. Ayuya wa hachilunga ni munhu wa hachilunga na yakulonga simbuli sa hachilunga, ayuya yakulawa kuchanhya, kamuchanhya ya gose. 32Yakuhomelela agaya goyonile na kugamelela na kugahulika, ninga hechaka iyakuhokela uhomelesi wakwe. 33Iyakuhokela uhomelesi wakwe yakufumilisa fina Mulungu ni chawelu. 34Kosoko iyatumigwe na Mulungu yakulonga simbuli sa Mulungu; kosoko Mulungu ng'hakulafa Muhe kwa chiliganiso; 35iBaba yakumwenda iMwana, naye kamulekela finhu fyose mumikono yakwe. 36Iyakumuhuwila iMwana kena uwumi wa majuwa gose; inghekwandamila simbuli sakwe nghakwenda yawone uwumi, ninga inyono ye Mulungu ikumwikalila.”
