Meriam Mir Gospels
1And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
1Abele nerute le Faresaio, nei Nikodemo, Iudaia tarim le:
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.
2E ki ge Iesuim tabakeam, a abi detager, kega, Rabi, keriba umele ma ereuer le tarabu Adelam: abelelam nole nerute le umele ikeli abele gaire atamelam mama ikeli, ese Ade nole abi dog.
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.
3Iesu etkalu, a abi detager, kega, Ageakar, ageakar, kaka mari natagere, Ese nerute le nole iako esmeda, E umer kak Ade ra baselaia dasmer.
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?
4Nikodemo abi detaut, kega, Nalugem aule umele ko eosmeda? nako E umele ko neisem badari taba apu kem ge, a iako esmeda?
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.
5Iesu etkalu, kega, Ageakar, ageakar, kaka mari natager, Ese nerute le nole esmeda ni de a Lamar de, E nole umer kak Ade ra baselaia badari.
6That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
6Abele gemlam esmeda, gem pedali; abele Lamarlam esmeda, lamar pedali.
7Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.
7Nole amer kak abele mer kaka mari natagere, kega, Ido lu uaba iako esmerare.
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.
8Uag uami abele uteb E laglag, ma bumer asoli, a nole ardar kak E nagelam, a E nagedim bakeam: mokakalam gaire le Lamar de esmerare.
9Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?
9Nikodemo etkalu, a abi detager, kega, Nako umele gaire lu pedali?
10Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?
10Iesu etkalu, a abi detager, kega, Nako, ma Isaraela ereuer le, a nole erdali abele gaire lu?
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.
11Ageakar, ageakar, kaka mari natager, kega, Keriba detagereda abele gaire lu keriba erdarda, a ageakarem abele gaire lu keriba dasmereda; epe uaba nole arpeir kak abele keriba ageakarem.
12If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?
12Ese kaka uabi detagereda gaire lu geseb ge, a uaba nole oatur kak, nako uaba onatareda ese kaka uabi detagereda gaire lu kotor ge?
13And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
13Nole nerute le ogi kotorem, epe mamoro E kotorlam uatabu, abele Le la Uerem kotor ge emri.
14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
14Mokakalam Mose taba armem agisilu abele soge purge, pako mokakalam Le la Uerem ko arem agisilu:
15That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.
15Epe gaire le abim onatareda, ko nagri eded akaida.
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.
16Abele absaimarsaimar Ade ra omare gesepem, gako E ikuar abara Uerem netate, epe nole eud kak, abele le abi oituli, mamoro E nagri eded aseamur kak.
17For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
17Ade nole emarida abara Uerem gesepem ko gesep mer barditug; epe mamoro gesep eded abielam.
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.
18Abele le abi oituli nole mer barditug abim: abele le nole oatur kak emetu mer barditug abim, abelelam E nole oatur kak abele nei Ade ra Uerem netate.
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.
19Abele mer barditug, datki gesepem tabarki, gaire le kupkup laglag tumem datki, abelelam uiaba dorge adud.
20For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
20Gaire le adud ikereda, uiaba datki derarteda, a nole datkim tabakeuare, uiaba dorge akmelam.
21But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.
21Gaire le ageakar ikereda, uiaba datkim tabakeuare, ko uiaba dorge paret kak, abele emetu ikereda Adim.
22After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
22Abele gaire lu iobaru, Iesu a abara kaimeg giz bakeuare Iudaia gedim, E uiabi kemem bamer, a bapataiso.
23And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
23Ege Ioane ko Ainonem bapataiso, abele maike Salim, abelelam au ni pedali: uiaba tabakeuare, a bapataisoem.
24For John was not yet cast into prison.
24Abelelam Ioane nole aziri kak au dubar meta.
25And there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews concerning purification:
25Ioane ra kaimeg giz a nerute uiaba Iudaia le giz basardare abele tonar ogarup.
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.
26Uiaba Ioaneim tabakeuare, a abi detagereda, kega, Rabi, abele le mari dog, Ioridano apek, mama emetu abi ageakarem, dasmer, E ko bapataiso, a gaire le uridili abim tabakeuare.
27John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
27Ioane etkalu, a detager, kega, Nerute le umer kak ko nerute lu erpeilu, ese nole abi ikuar kotorlam.
28You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
28Uaba kari ageakarem, karielam detaut, kega, Kaka nole Keriso, epe kaka taramarida abi opem.
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.
29Abele le kosker nagri emetu abim babeida, E dali ko ispida: abele le aspidar le la boai ekue, a abi asoli, au sererge abele le ispida ra kodo mer: abele kara sererge kemerkemer.
30He must increase, but I must decrease.
30E ko bataili, kaka ko ekekeli.
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.
31Le kotorlam uatabu, E tumem gaire lu uridili: le geseplam, E geseplam, a ko gesep mer atager: le kotorlam uatabu, E tumem gaire lu uridili.
32And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.
32Abele lu E emetu dasmer a asoli, E ageakarem peik; a nole le abara ageakarem erpei.
33He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.
33Abele le abara ageakarem erpei, E dedkomet, kega, Ade ageakar.
34For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
34E dali Ade de temarida mer atagerem gaire Ade ra mer: abelelam E nole Lamar Zogo ikuar au tale lu ge de.
35The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.
35Abet abele Uerem omare, a gaire lu uridili abi tagem aisuer.
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.
36Abele le Ueremem oituli, E nagri eded aseamur kak: abele le nole Ueremem asor kak, E nole eded asmer kak, epe Ade ra urker abi tumge dikmerik.
