1And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
1Judah uk kaminawk thungah, Nicodemu, tiah ahmin kaom Farasi kami maeto oh:
2This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.
2anih loe qum ah Jesu khaeah caeh moe, anih khaeah, Rabbi, nang loe Sithaw khae hoi angzo patukkung ah na oh, tiah kang panoek o: Sithaw mah anih to om thuih ai nahaeloe, na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk hae mi mah doeh sah thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
3Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
3Jesu mah anih ih lok to pathim pae, anih khaeah, Loktang to, loktang ah kang thuih, Mi kawbaktih doeh tapen let ai kami loe, Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae to hnu thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
4Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born again?
4Nikodemu mah anih khaeah, Kami loe mitong pacoengah kawbangmaw tapen let thai tih, anih loe amno zokthung ah vai hnetto akun ueloe, tapen let thai tih maw? tiah a naa.
5Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
5Jesu mah, Loktang to, loktang ah kang thuih, Tui hoi Muithla hoiah tapen ai kami loe, Sithaw prae thungah akun thai mak ai.
6That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
6Taksa ah tapen kami loe taksa ah oh; Muithla ah tapen kami loe muithla ah oh.
7Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.
7Na tapen let han oh, tiah kang thuih pongah dawnrai hmah.
8The Spirit breatheth where he will; and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
8Takhi loe a koeh baktiah song, takhi tuen to na thaih, toe naa bang hoiah maw angzoh moe, naa bangah maw caeh, tiah na thui thai ai: Muithla ah tapen kami loe to tiah oh, tiah a naa.
9Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?
9Nikodemu mah anih khaeah, Hae hmuenawk loe kawbangmaw om thai tih? tiah pathim.
10Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?
10Jesu mah anih khaeah, Israel kaminawk patukkung ah na oh to mah, hae hmuennawk hae na panoek ai maw? tiah a naa.
11Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony.
11Loktang to, loktang ah kang thuih, Kaicae loe panoek ih hmuen to ka thuih o moe, ka hnuk o ih hmuen to ni ka taphong o; ka taphong o ih hmuen to na talawk o ai.
12If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?
12Long hmuen kawngnawk ka thuih naah mataeng doeh, na tang o ai nahaeloe, van hmuen kawngnawk ka thuih nahaeloe, kawbangmaw na tang o thai tih?
13And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
13Van hoi angzo tathuk, van ah kaom kami Capa ai ah loe, mi doeh van ah daw vai ai.
14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
14Mosi mah praezaek ah takhing ih pahui baktih toengah, kami Capa to takhing o tih.
15That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.
15Mi kawbaktith doeh Anih tang kami loe anghmaa mak ai, dungzan hinghaih to hnu tih.
16For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
16Sithaw mah long palung phi pongah, maeto khue tawnh ih a Capa to a paek, mi kawbaktih doeh Anih tang kami loe anghmaa mak ai, dungzan hinghaih to hnu tih.
17For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
17Long lokcaek hanah Sithaw mah a Capa to long ah patoeh ai; Anih rang hoiah long pahlong han ih ni patoeh.
18He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
18Anih tang kami loe lokcaek mak ai, toe tang ai kami loe maeto khue tawnh ih Sithaw Capa ahmin to tang ai pongah, lokcaek ah oh boeh.
19And this is the judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.
19Hae loe lokcaekhaih ah oh, aanghaih loe long ah angzoh, toe a sak o ih hmuennawk to hoih ai pongah, kaminawk mah aanghaih pongah vinghaih to koeh o kue.
20For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
20Kahoih ai hmuen sah kami loe aanghaih to hnukma, a toksakhaih amtueng moeng tih, tiah a poek pongah, aanghaih thungah angzoh han koeh ai.
21But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.
21Toe loktang hoi kahing kami loe, Sithaw rang hoiah a sak o ih hmuennawk to amtueng thai hanah, aanghaih thungah angzoh, tiah a naa.
22After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
22To pacoengah Jesu hoi a hnukbang kaminawk loe Judea prae ah caeh o; anih loe nihcae hoi nawnto to ahmuen ah oh moe, tuinuemhaih to paek.
23And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
23Johan mah doeh Salim taengah kaom Aenon avang ah tuinuemhaih to paek: to ahmuen ah loe tui pop pongah, kaminawk angzoh o moe, tuinuemhaih to sak o.
24For John was not yet cast into prison.
24To nathuem ah Johan loe thongim krah ai vop.
25And there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews concerning purification:
25Ciimcaihaih kawng pongah Judahnawk hoi Johan hnukbang kaminawk lok angaek o.
26And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
26Nihcae loe Johan khaeah caeh o moe, anih khaeah, Rabbi, khenah, Jordan vapui yaeh ah nang hoi nawnto kaom kami, na taphong ih kami mah tuinuemhaih to paek, kaminawk loe anih khaeah caeh o boih boeh, tiah a naa o.
27John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
27Johan mah, Van hoiah anih han paek ai ah loe, kami mah tidoeh hnu thai mak ai.
28You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
28Kai loe Kri na ai ni, toe kai loe Anih hmaa ah patoeh ih kami ni, tiah hnukung ah nangcae na oh o.
29He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.
29Zu lak naah nongpa mah ni nongpata to lak: toe zu kala thendoeng ih ampui loe anih taengah angdoet moe, anih ih lok to thaih, zu lakung ih lok to thaih pongah, paroeai anghoe: to pongah kang hoehaih loe hae tiah akoep boeh.
30He must increase, but I must decrease.
30Anih loe pung tahang aep tih, toe kai loe amsah tathuk tih.
31He that cometh from above, is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from heaven, is above all.
31Van hoiah angzo kami loe hmuen boih ranui ah oh: long hoiah angcoeng kami loe long hmuen ah oh moe, long hmuen kawng to a thuih: van hoiah angzo kami loe hmuen boih ranui ah oh.
32And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.
32Anih mah loe hnuk moe, thaih ih hmuen to ni a thuih; mi mah doeh a thuih ih lok to talawk pae o ai.
33He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.
33A thuih ih lok talawk kami mah loe, Sithaw loe loktang ni, tiah catui to a daengh.
34For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
34Sithaw mah patoeh ih kami loe Sithaw lok to thuih: Sithaw mah anih khaeah tahhaih om ai ah Muithla to paek.
35The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.
35Ampa mah Capa to palung pongah hmuennawk anih ban ah paek boih.
36He that believeth in the Son, hath life everlasting; but he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
36Capa tang kami loe dungzan hinghaih to tawnh: Capa tang ai kami loe hinghaih hnu mak ai; Sithaw palungphuihaih a nuiah om tih, tiah a naa.
