1Now 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.
2He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is 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 him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”
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 said 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?”
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, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.
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. 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 .
7Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must all be born anew.’
7Nang taengah kan thui te ngaihmang sak boeh, nangmih he koep cun ham a kuek .
8The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who 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 him, “How can these things be?”
9Nikodemu loh a doo tih, “He tla om thai aya?” a ti nah.
10Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?
10Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “ Nang tah Israel kah saya la na om coeng dae he khaw na ming mahnim? ”.
11Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.
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 told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell 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?
13No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
13Te dongah vaan lamkah aka rhum hlang capa pawt koinih vaan la luei uh mahpawh .
14As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even 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 whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
15Te dongah amah aka tangnah boeih tah dungyan hingnah a dang ni .
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
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 didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through 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 who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born 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 .
19This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the 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 everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
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 who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been 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 came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there 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.
23John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. 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 thrown into prison.
24Johan te thongim ah hlak la a om hlan dongah ni.
25Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.
25Te phoeiah Johan kah hnukbang rhoek te Judah hoel neh cimcaihnah kawng olpungnah om.
26They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming 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, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been 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 testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been 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 who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore my joy is made full.
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.
31“He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes 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.
32What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
32A hmuh neh a yaak te a phong. Tedae anih kah olphong te doe uh pawh.
33He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
33Anih kah olphong aka doe loh Pathen tah oltak ni tila kutnoek a daeng coeng.
34For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without 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 loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
35Pa loh capa te a lungnah dongah a cungkuem he a kut ah a paek.
36One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains 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.
