1And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
1Te vaengah Pharisee khuikah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Nikodemu, Judah rhoek kah boei te om.
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 loh khoyin ah a taengla a paan tih, “Rhabbi, Pathen taeng lamkah aka pawk saya pakhat la kam ming uh, Pathen te a taengah om pawt atah miknoek na saii he saii ham coeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
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.
3Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “ Nang taengah rhep, rhep kan thui, koep a cun hlang pawt loh Pathen kah ram te a hmuh ham coeng pawh,” a ti nah.
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 loh amah te, “Metlam patong la aka om hlang he a thang ham a coeng eh? Pabae la a manu bung khuila kun ham neh a thaang ham a coeng moenih?” a ti nah.
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.
5Jesuh loh, “ Nang taengah rhep, rhep kan thui, tui neh Mueihla kah a cun pawt te tah, Pathen kah ram khuiah a kun ham coeng pawh .
6That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
6Pumsa kah a cun tah pumsa la om tih Mueihla kah a cun tah mueihla la om van .
7Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.
7Nang taengah kan thui te ngaihmang sak boeh, nangmih he koep cun ham a kuek .
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.
8Khohli loh a ngaih la hli tih a ol te na yaak. Tedae me lamkah ha pawk tih mela a caeh khaw na ming moenih. Mueihla kah a cun khaw te tlam ni boeih a om,” a ti nah.
9Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?
9Nikodemu loh a doo tih, “He tla om thai aya?” a ti nah.
10Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?
10Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “ Nang tah Israel kah saya la na om coeng dae he khaw na ming mahnim? ”.
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.
11Nang taengah rhep, rhep kan thui, m ' ming te n'thui tih m'hmuh te ni m ' phong. Tedae kaimih kah olphong te na ming uh moenih .
12If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?
12Nangmih taengah diklai koe ka thui vaengah na tangnah uh pawt atah nangmih taengah vaan koe te ka thui koinih metlam na tangnah uh eh?
13And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
13Te dongah vaan lamkah aka rhum hlang capa pawt koinih vaan la luei uh mahpawh .
14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
14Moses loh khosoek ah rhul a tai bangla hlang capa khaw tai ham a kuek van .
15That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.
15Te dongah amah aka tangnah boeih tah dungyan hingnah a dang ni .
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.
16Pathen loh Diklai a lungnah tangloeng tih khueh duen capa te a paek. Amah aka tangnah boeih tah poci pawt vetih dungyan hingnah a dang ni .
17For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
17Pathen loh Diklai te laitloek thil hamla Diklai ah capa a tueih moenih. Tedae anih lamloh Diklai te khang ham ni a tueih .
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.
18Amah aka tangnah tah laitloek thil mahpawh, tedae aka tangnah pawt tah Pathen capa khueh duen ming te a tangnah pawt dongah a tangtae la lai a tloek thil coeng .
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.
19Laitloeknah he om ngawn coeng. Vangnah tah Diklai la ha pawk coeng dae hlang rhoek loh a khoboe thae a khueh dongah vangnah lakah yinnah te lat a lungnah uh .
20For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
20A thae la aka khoboe boeih loh vangnah te a hmuhuet tih a khoboe te a toeltham pawt ham ni vangnah khuila ha pawk pawh .
21But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.
21Oltak aka saii tah vangnah khuila ha pawk. Te daengah ni Pathen ming neh a saii a bitat te a phoe sak eh,” a ti nah.
22After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
22He phoeiah Jesuh tah a hnukbang rhoek neh Judah kho la pawk. Te vaengah amih taengah tapkhoeh om tih a nuem.
23And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
23Salim Johan long khaw Salim kaep kah Aenon ah om tih a nuem. Tui khaw muep a om tapkhoeh dongah ha pawk uh vaengah a nuem uh.
24For John was not yet cast into prison.
24Johan te thongim ah hlak la a om hlan dongah ni.
25And there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews concerning purification:
25Te phoeiah Johan kah hnukbang rhoek te Judah hoel neh cimcaihnah kawng olpungnah om.
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.
26Te dongah Johan te a paan uh tih, “Rhabbi, anih ke Jordan rhalvangan la nang taengah om tih, a kawng na phong dae ta. Anih loh a nuem dongah a taengla boeih ha pawk uh coeng ke,” a ti na uh.
27John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
27Johan loh a doo tih, “Anih te vaan lamloh paek la om pawt koinih hlang loh pakhat khaw a dang thai moenih,” a ti nah.
28You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
28Nangmih loh kai taengah na phong uh te, 'Kai tah Khrih moenih, tedae a hmaikah a tueih te ni, ' ka ti.
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.
29Yulokung loh vasakung te a khueh la om dae yulokung kah paya long tah khueh pawh. Aka pai tih aka hnatun loh yulokung kah ol dongah omngaihnah neh omngaih. Te dongah ka omngaihnah tah soep coeng .
30He must increase, but I must decrease.
30Anih te a rhoeng mak atah, ka tlak khaw a kuek mai coeng.
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.
31A so lamkah aka pawk tah hlang boeih soah om. Diklai ah aka om tah diklai kah la om tih diklai lamkah te a thui. Vaan lamkah aka pawk tah a soah boeih om.
32And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.
32A hmuh neh a yaak te a phong. Tedae anih kah olphong te doe uh pawh.
33He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.
33Anih kah olphong aka doe loh Pathen tah oltak ni tila kutnoek a daeng coeng.
34For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
34Anih te Pathen loh a tueih dongah Pathen kah olthang ni a thui. Mueihla a paek te khaw a tarhing a khueh pah moenih.
35The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.
35Pa loh capa te a lungnah dongah a cungkuem he a kut ah a paek.
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 aka tangnah loh dungyan hingnah a khueh. Tedae capa ol aka aek tah hingnah hmu pawt tih anih loh Pathen kah kosi a rhaeh thil.
