Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
1Oasr sie mwet kol lun mwet Jew pangpang Nicodemus, su ma in u lun mwet Pharisee.
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.
2Sie fong ah el som nu yurin Jesus ac fahk nu sel, “Rabbi, kut etu lah kom sie mwet luti supweyukme sin God. Wangin sie mwet ku in oru mwenmen ma kom oru God El fin tia welul.”
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.
3Jesus el fahk, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu sum: sie mwet el fin tia sifil isusla, el koflana liye Tokosrai lun God.”
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?
4Na Nicodemus el siyuk sel, “Sie mwet matu ac sifilpa osweyukla fuka? Mea, el ku in sifil ilyak nu insien nina kial ac isusla pacl se akluo?”
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.
5Jesus el topuk, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu sum: sie mwet el fin tia isusla ke kof ac Ngun, el koflana ilyak nu in Tokosrai lun God.
6That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
6Mwet su isusla ke ikwa, ma lun ikwa; a mwet su isusla ke Ngun, ma lun ngun.
7Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.
7Nik kom lut mweyen nga fahk lah kowos nukewa enenu in sifilpa isusla.
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.
8Eng uh tuh nu yen el lungse. Kom lohng kusa, a kom tia etu yen el tuku we me, ku yen el ac som nu we. Ac oapana inge elos nukewa su isusla ke Ngun.”
9Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?
9Nicodemus el siyuk, “Mea, ku in ouingan?”
10Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?
10Jesus el topuk, “Kom sie mwet luti fulat in Israel, ya pwaye kom tia etu ma se inge?
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.
11Nga fahk na pwaye nu sum: kut kaskas ke ma kut etu, ac fahkak ma kut liye uh. Ne ouinge, wangin sie suwos lulalfongi ma kut fahk uh.
12If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?
12Kowos tia lulalfongiyu ke nga fahk nu suwos ke ma lun faclu, na kowos ac lulalfongiyu fuka nga fin kaskas ke ma nu inkusrao?
13And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
13Soenna oasr sie mwet na sowak nu inkusrao sayen Wen nutin Mwet, su oatui inkusrao me.”
14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
14Oana ke Moses el tuh srupusrak serpent bronze soko fin sak soko in acn mwesis ah, in ouiya sacna Wen nutin Mwet el fah sripsripyak,
15That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.
15tuh elos nukewa su lulalfongi in el elos fah ku in ilyak nu ke sie moul sasu wangin saflaiya.
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.
16Tuh God El lungse faclu ouinge: El ase Wen sefanna natul, tuh elos nukewa su lulalfongi in el fah tia misa, a elos fah eis moul ma pahtpat.
17For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
17Tuh God El tia supwama Wen natul in tuh nununku faclu, a tuh faclu in eis moul kacl.
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.
18Kutena mwet su lulalfongi in Wen el tia nununkeyuk; tusruktu kutena mwet su tia lulalfongi, el nununkeyuk tari, mweyen el tia lulalfongi in Wen sefanna nutin God.
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.
19Pa inge luman nununku sac: kalem tuku tari nu faclu, a mwet uh elos lungse lohsr yohk liki kalem sac, mweyen orekma lalos uh koluk.
20For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
20Kutena mwet su oru ma koluk el srunga kalem, ac el fah tia tuku nu ke kalem, mweyen el tia lungse orekma koluk lal in liyeyuk.
21But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.
21A kutena mwet su oru ma pwaye el tuku nu ke kalem, tuh in kalem lah ma el oru el oru in akos God.
22After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
22Tukun ma inge, Jesus ac mwet tumal lutlut elos som nu in acn Judea, ac el muta yorolos we ke kutu pacl, ac el baptaisi mwet.
23And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
23John el oayapa oru baptais lal in acn Aenon apkuran nu Salim, mweyen yohk kof in acn sac. Mwet uh fahsrel ac el baptaiselos.
24For John was not yet cast into prison.
24(Ma inge ma meet liki John el kapiri in presin.)
25And there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews concerning purification:
25Kutu sin mwet lutlut lal John mutawauk in akukuin yurin sie mwet Jew ke ouiyen aknasnas ke alu lun mwet Jew.
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.
26Ke ma inge elos som nu yorol John ac fahk nu sel, “Mwet Luti, kom esam mwet se ma tuh wi kom layen kutulap ke infacl Jordan, mwet se ma kom tuh fahkak kac ah? Inge el wi pac orek baptais, ac mwet uh rirla nu yorol!”
27John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
27John el topuk, “Wangin ma ku in sikyak nu sin sie mwet, fin tia ma sin God me.
28You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
28Kowos sifacna mwet loh luk ke nga tuh fahk, ‘Tia nga pa Christ, a supweyukme nga meet lukel.’
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.
29In pacl in marut, mukul se ma marut uh ac ma kial pa mutan sac. Tusruktu mwet kawuk se lun mukul sac el engankin lah el tu siskal ac lohng pusren mukul marut sac. Ouinge engan luk uh oapana engan lun mukul se ma kawuk lun mukul marut sacn.
30He must increase, but I must decrease.
30Ac fah puseni mwet fahsr tukun Jesus, ac mwet luk uh ac fah pueni.”
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.
31El su tuku lucng me el fulat liki nukewa. El su ma faclu me el ma lun faclu ac el kaskas ke ma lun faclu, a el su tuku inkusrao me el fulat liki nukewa.
32And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.
32El fahkak ke ma el liye ac lohng tari, a wangin mwet lulalfongi ma el fahk uh.
33He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.
33Kutena mwet su lulalfongi ma el fahk, el akkalemye lah el lulalfongi lah ma God El fahk uh ma pwaye.
34For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
34El su God El supwama el fahk kas lun God, mweyen God El sang nufon Ngun lal nu sel.
35The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.
35Papa El lungse Wen natul, ac El sang elan ku fin ma nukewa.
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.
36Kutena mwet su lulalfongi ke Wen oasr moul ma pahtpat lal. Kutena mwet su seakos Wen fah wangin moul lal, a el ac fah mutana ye kaiyuk lun God.
