Chamorro: Gospels, Acts and Psalms
1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.
1YA guaja un taotao Fariseo na naanña si Nicodemo, prinsipe y Judiosija.
2He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”
2Este mato gui as Jesus gui puenge ya ilegna nu güiya: Rabi, jame intingo na jago maestro guine as Yuus, sa taya siña fumatinas este sija na señat, ni unfatitinas, yaguin ti sumisija yan Yuus.
3Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
3Ynepe as Jesus ya ilegña nu güiya: Magajet ya magajet y jusangane jao, na y ti mafañago talo, ti siña jalie y raenon Yuus.
4“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?”
4Ylegña nu güiya si Nicodemo: Jafa muna siña y taotao mafañago yaguin este biju; siña güe jumalom dos biaje, talo gui jalom y tiyan nanaña ya umafañago?
5Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
5Ynepe as Jesus: Magajet ya magajet jusangane jao, na y ti mafañago ni janom yan ni iyon Espiritu, ti siña jumalom gui raenon Yuus.
6Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.
6Todo y mafañago ni guine catne, catneja güe; ya y mafañago guine Espiritu, espirituja güe.
7Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’
7Chamo ninamamanman ni jusangane jao: Y nesesita jamyo na mafañago talo.
8The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
8Y manglo manguaefe mano malagoña, ya unjungog y bengbengña, lao ti untungo guine manu mague, ni tampoco para manu guato. Taegüenao todo ayo y manmafañago guine Espiritu.
9“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
9Si Nicodemo manope ya ilegña: Jafa muna siña este?
10“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?
10Ynepe as Jesus ya ilegña nu güiya: Jago un maestro guiya Israel ya ti untungo este?
11Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, and yet you people do not accept our testimony.
11Magajet ya magajet jusangane jao, Y tatungo, tasangan; ya y talie tadeclara, ya ti inresibe y testimoniota.
12If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
12Yaguin jusangane jao güinajan tano, ya ti unjonggue, jafa taemano unjonggue yaguin jusangane jao güinajan langet?
13No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
13Ya taya cajulo gui langet, güiyaja y tumunog guine y langet, güiya matungo, y Lajin taotao ni y gaegue gui langet,
14Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
14Ya jaf taemanoja si Moises janacajulo y serpiente gui desierto, taegüijeja na nesesita na y Lajin taotao umanacajulo.
15that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.
15Para todo ayo y jumonggue güe, ti siña malingo, ya guaja linâlâña na taejinecog.
16For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
16Sa taegüenao na jaguaeya si Yuus y tano, janae ni linilisja Lajiña y para todo ayo y jumonggue güe, ti siña malingo, ya guaja linâlâña na taejinecog.
17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
17Sa ti jatago si Yuus y Lajiña guato gui tano, para usapit y tano, lao para y tano unalibre pot güiya.
18Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
18Y jumonggue güe, ti umasapit; ayo y ti jumonggue güe ayo umasapit, sa ti manjonggue ni naan unoja na Lajin Yuus.
19And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil.
19Ya este na sinapit, na y inina malag y tano, ya y taotao sija gaonñija y jemjom qui y inina, sa y finatinasñija taelaye.
20Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
20Sa todo ayo y fumatinas y taelaye, chatlie y inina, ya ti malag y inina, sa y chechoña no sea umareprende.
21But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”
21Ayo y fumatinas y magajet, malag y inina, para y unamatungo finatinasña, sa y finatinasña guine as Yuus.
22After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.
22Despues di estesija, mato si Jesus yan y disipuluña sija, gui un tano Judea ya gaegue güije yan sija managpange.
23Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.
23Managpapange locue si Juan, guiya Enon, jijot guiya Salim, sa gaegue güije megae na janom: ya sija manmamaela, ya manmatagpange.
24(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
24Sa si Juan trabia ti mapopolo gui catset.
25Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.
25Ya guaja un inaguaguat entre sija yan y disipulon Juan yan y Judio sija pot y guinasgas.
26So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.”
26Ya manmato gui as Juan, ya ilegñija nu güiya: Rabi, ayo y gaegue güije guinin iya jago, gui otro banda Jordan ni unnae testimonio, estagüe! na jatagpange, yan y todo y taotao manmato guiya güiya.
27John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
27Manope si Juan ilegña: Ti siña y taotao manresibe jafa, yaguin ti manae guine y langet.
28You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
28Jamyoja innae testimonio na guinin jusangan: Ti guajo si Jesucristo, lao guajo matago gui menaña.
29The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.
29Ya guaja asaguaña, güiya y nobio locue; lao amigon nobio, ni y tomotojgue ya jajujungogja, ya magof dangculo pot y sinangan y nobio. Taegüine pues este minagofjo esta macumple.
30He must increase; I must decrease.
30Güiya siempre, lumálamodong; ya guajo manaladiquique.
31The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all.
31Y guinin jila mague, güiya mas taquilo qui todo; ya y iyon y tano, tanoja güe, ya iyon y tanoja jasasangan; ya y mamaela guine langet, güiya iyajululo.
32He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.
32Tanae testimonio, nu y lumie ya jajungog, ya taya rumesibe y testimonioña.
33Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
33Ya y rumesibe y testimonioña, este sumeyo na si Yuus, güiya magajet.
34For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
34Sa y tinago as Yuus, y fino Yuus jasangan; sa si Yuus ti mannanae güe ni y Espiritu pot medida.
35The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.
35Sa y tata yaña y Lajiña ya todo y güinaja japolo gui canaeña.
36Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
36Y jumonggue y Lajiña guaja taejinecog na linâlâ; ya ayo y ti manjonggue y Lajiña, ti ulie linâlâ, lao y binibon Yuus gaegue gui jiloña.
