1Pea naʻe ai ha tangata ʻi he kau Fālesi, ko Nikotimasi hono hingoa, ko e ʻeiki ia ʻi he kakai Siu.
1Kulikuwa na kiongozi mmoja Myahudi, wa kikundi cha Mafarisayo, jina lake Nikodemo.
2Pea naʻe haʻu ia kia Sisu ʻi he poʻuli, ʻo ne pehē, “Lāpai, ʻoku mau ʻilo ko e akonaki koe kuo haʻu mei he ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi mana ni ʻoku ke fai, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae ʻOtua.”
2Siku moja alimwendea Yesu usiku, akamwambia, “Rabi, tunajua kwamba wewe ni mwalimu uliyetumwa na Mungu, maana hakuna mtu awezaye kufanya ishara unazozifanya Mungu asipokuwa pamoja naye.”
3Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate koe, Kapau ʻe ʻikai fanauʻi foʻou ha tangata, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mamata ia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
3Yesu akamwambia, “Kweli nakwambia, mtu asipozaliwa upya hataweza kuuona ufalme wa Mungu.”
4Pea pehē ʻe Nikotimasi kiate ia, “ʻE faʻa fanauʻi fēfeeʻi ʻae tangata ʻoku motuʻa? ʻE toe faʻa hū ia ki he manāva ʻo ʻene faʻē, pea fanauʻi?”
4Nikodemo akamwuliza, “Mtu mzima awezaje kuzaliwa tena? Hawezi kuingia tumboni mwa mama yake na kuzaliwa mara ya pili!”
5Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate koe, Kapau ʻe ʻikai fanauʻi ʻae tangata ʻi he vai pea mo e Laumālie, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa hū ia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
5Yesu akamjibu, “Kweli nakwambia, mtu asipozaliwa kwa maji na Roho, hawezi kamwe kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu.
6Ko ia kuo fanauʻi ʻi he kakano, ko e kakano ia; pea ko ia kuo fanauʻi ʻi he Laumālie, ko e laumālie ia.
6Mtu huzaliwa kimwili kwa baba na mama, lakini huzaliwa kiroho kwa Roho.
7ʻOua te ke ofo ʻi heʻeku tala kiate koe, ʻOku totonu ke mou fanauʻi foʻou.
7Usistaajabu kwamba nimekwambia kuwa ni lazima kuzaliwa upya.
8ʻOku maʻili ʻae matangi ko hono faʻiteliha pe, pea ʻoku ke fanongo ki hono mumuhu ʻo ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe ʻoku haʻu mei fē, pe ʻalu ki fē ia: ʻoku pehē pe ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku fanauʻi ʻi he Laumālie.”
8Upepo huvuma kuelekea upendako; waisikia sauti yake, lakini hujui unakotoka wala unakokwenda. Ndivyo ilivyo kwa mtu aliyezaliwa kwa Roho.”
9Pea leaange ʻa Nikotimasi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku fēfē nai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?”
9Nikodemo akamwuliza, “Mambo haya yanawezekanaje?”
10Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “He ko e akonaki koe ʻi ʻIsileli, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻiloa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?
10Yesu akamjibu, “Je, wewe ni mwalimu katika Israel na huyajui mambo haya?
11Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate koe, ʻOku mau lea ʻaki ʻaia ʻoku mau ʻilo, ʻo fakapapau ʻaia kuo mau mamata; ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou maʻu ʻemau fakamoʻoni.
11Kweli nakwambia, sisi twasema tunayoyajua na kushuhudia tuliyoyaona, lakini ninyi hamkubali ujumbe wetu.
12Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ʻi heʻeku tala kiate kimoutolu ʻae meʻa ʻoe māmani, ʻe fēfē hoʻomou tui, ʻo kapau teu tala kiate kimoutolu ʻae meʻa ʻoe langi?
12Ikiwa nimewaambieni mambo ya kidunia nanyi hamniamini, mtawezaje kuamini nikiwaambieni mambo ya mbinguni?
13Pea ʻoku teʻeki ai ʻalu hake ha tangata ki he langi, ka ko ia pe naʻe ʻalu hifo mei he langi, ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi.”
13Hakuna mtu aliyepata kwenda juu mbinguni isipokuwa Mwana wa Mtu ambaye ameshuka kutoka mbinguni.
14¶ Pea hangē naʻe hiki hake ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngata ʻi he toafa, ʻe pehē hono hiki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki ʻolunga:
14“Kama vile Mose alivyomwinua juu nyoka wa shaba kule jangwani, naye Mwana wa Mtu atainuliwa juu vivyo hivyo,
15Koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku tui kiate ia ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha ia, kae maʻu ʻae moʻui taʻengata.
15ili kila anayemwamini awe na uzima wa milele.
16¶ He naʻe ʻofa pehē ʻae ʻOtua ki māmani, naʻa ne foaki hono ʻAlo pe taha naʻe fakatupu, koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pē ʻe tui kiate ia ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha, kae maʻu ʻae moʻui taʻengata.
16Maana Mungu aliupenda ulimwengu hivi hata akamtoa Mwana wake wa pekee, ili kila amwaminiye asipotee, bali awe na uzima wa milele.
17He naʻe ʻikai fekau ʻe he ʻOtua hono ʻAlo ki māmani ke fakamalaʻia ʻa māmani: ka koeʻuhi ke moʻui ʻa māmani ʻiate ia.
17Maana Mungu hakumtuma Mwanae ulimwenguni ili auhukumu ulimwengu, bali aukomboe ulimwengu.
18¶ Ko ia ʻoku tui kiate ia, ʻoku ʻikai fakamalaʻia ia: ka ko ia ʻoku ʻikai tui, ʻoku fakamalaʻia ni ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai tui ia ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻAlo pe taha naʻe tupu ʻi he ʻOtua.
18“Anayemwamini Mwana hahukumiwi; asiyemwamini amekwisha hukumiwa kwa sababu hakumwamini Mwana wa pekee wa Mungu.
19Pea ko e malaʻiaʻanga eni, koeʻuhi kuo haʻu ʻae maama ki māmani, pea ʻofa lahi ʻae kakai ki he poʻuli ʻi he maama, koeʻuhi ʻoku kovi ʻenau ngaahi ngāue.
19Na hukumu yenyewe ndiyo hii: Mwanga umekuja ulimwenguni lakini watu wakapenda giza kuliko mwanga, kwani matendo yao ni maovu.
20He ko ia fulipē ʻoku fai kovi ʻoku fehiʻa ki he maama, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻu ia ki he maama, telia naʻa fakahā ai ʻene ngaahi ngāue.
20Kila mtu atendaye maovu anauchukia mwanga, wala haji kwenye mwanga, maana hapendi matendo yake maovu yamulikwe.
21Ka ko ia ʻoku fai ki he moʻoni, ʻoku haʻu ia ki he maama, koeʻuhi ke fakahā ai ʻene ngaahi ngāue, ʻoku fai ia ʻi he ʻOtua.
21Lakini mwenye kuuzingatia ukweli huja kwenye mwanga, ili matendo yake yaonekane yametendwa kwa kumtii Mungu.”
22¶ Pea hili eni, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sisu mo ʻene kau ākonga ki he fonua ko Siutea; pea nofo ai mo kinautolu, ʻo fai papitaiso.
22Baada ya hayo, Yesu alifika mkoani Yudea pamoja na wanafunzi wake. Alikaa huko pamoja nao kwa muda, akibatiza watu.
23Pea naʻe fai papitaiso ʻa Sione foki ʻi ʻEnoni ʻo ofi ki Selemi, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻi ai ʻae vai lahi: pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai, ʻo papitaiso.
23Yohane pia alikuwa akibatiza watu huko Ainoni, karibu na Salemu, maana huko kulikuwa na maji mengi. Watu walimwendea, naye akawabatiza.
24He naʻe teʻeki ai ʻave ʻa Sione ki he fale fakapōpula.
24(Wakati huo Yohane alikuwa bado hajafungwa gerezani.)
25¶ Pea naʻe kikihi ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione mo e kau Siu ki he fakamaʻa.
25Ubishi ulitokea kati ya baadhi ya wanafunzi wa Yohane na Myahudi mmoja kuhusu desturi za kutawadha.
26Pea naʻa nau haʻu kia Sione ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Lāpai, ko ia ia naʻe ʻiate koe ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻaia naʻa ke fakamoʻoni ki ai, vakai, ʻoku fai papitaiso ʻe ia, pea ʻoku ʻalu ange ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate ia.”
26Basi, wanafunzi hao wakamwendea Yohane na kumwambia, “Mwalimu, yule mtu aliyekuwa pamoja nawe ng'ambo ya Yordani na ambaye wewe ulimshuhudia, sasa naye anabatiza, na watu wote wanamwendea.”
27Pea leaange ʻa Sione, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe ha tangata ha meʻa, ka ʻi hono foaki ia kiate ia mei he langi.
27Yohane akawaambia, “Mtu hawezi kuwa na kitu asipopewa na Mungu.
28ʻOku mou fakamoʻoni kiate au naʻaku pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ko e Kalaisi au, ka kuo fekau au ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia.’
28Nanyi wenyewe mwaweza kushuhudia kuwa nilisema: Mimi siye Kristo, lakini nimetumwa ili nimtangulie!
29Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae taʻahine, ko e tangata taʻane ia: ka ko e kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane ʻoku tuʻu ʻo fanongo kiate ia, ʻoku fiefia lahi ia ko e meʻa ʻi he leʻo ʻoe tangata taʻane: ko ia ko ʻeku fiefia ni kuo kakato.
29Bibiarusi ni wake bwanaarusi, lakini rafiki yake bwana arusi, anayesimama na kusikiliza, hufurahi sana anapomsikia bwana arusi akisema. Ndivyo furaha yangu ilivyokamilishwa.
30ʻE fakaʻaʻau ia ki muʻa, ka te u fakaʻaʻau au ki mui.”
30Ni lazima yeye azidi kuwa maarufu, na mimi nipungue.
31Ko ia ʻoku haʻu mei ʻolunga, ʻoku māʻolunga taha pe ia: ko ia ʻoku mei he māmani, ʻoku fakamaama ia, pea ʻoku lea ia ki he māmani: ko ia ʻoku haʻu mei he langi, ʻoku māʻolunga taha pe ia.
31“Anayekuja kutoka juu ni mkuu kuliko wote; atokaye duniani ni wa dunia, na huongea mambo ya kidunia. Lakini anayekuja kutoka mbinguni ni mkuu kuliko wote.
32Pea ko e meʻa kuo ne mamata mo ongoʻi, ko ia ʻoku ne fakamoʻoni ki ai; ka ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe ha tangata ʻene fakamoʻoni.
32Yeye husema yale aliyoyaona na kuyasikia, lakini hakuna mtu anayekubali ujumbe wake.
33Ko ia kuo ne tui ki heʻene fakamoʻoni, kuo ne ʻai ki ai hono fakaʻilonga ʻoku moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua.
33Lakini mtu yeyote anayekubali ujumbe wake anathibitisha kwamba Mungu ni kweli.
34He ko ia kuo fekau ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻoku ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai tuku fuofua ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae Laumālie kiate ia .
34Yule aliyetumwa na Mungu husema maneno ya Mungu, maana Mungu humjalia mtu huyo Roho wake bila kipimo.
35ʻOku ʻofa ʻae Tamai ki he ʻAlo, pea kuo ne tuku ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ki hono nima.
35Baba anampenda Mwana na amemkabidhi vitu vyote.
36Ko ia ʻoku tui ki he ʻAlo, ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae moʻui taʻengata: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai tui ki he ʻAlo, ʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he moʻui; ka ʻoku nofo pe kiate ia ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua.
36Anayemwamini Mwana anao uzima wa milele; asiyemtii Mwana hatakuwa na uzima wa milele, bali ghadhabu ya Mungu hubaki juu yake.”
