Meriam Mir Gospels
1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
1Abele nerute le Faresaio, nei Nikodemo, Iudaia tarim le:
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.”
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 him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”
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 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?”
4Nikodemo abi detaut, kega, Nalugem aule umele ko eosmeda? nako E umele ko neisem badari taba apu kem ge, a iako esmeda?
5Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.
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. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
6Abele gemlam esmeda, gem pedali; abele Lamarlam esmeda, lamar pedali.
7Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must all be born anew.’
7Nole amer kak abele mer kaka mari natagere, kega, Ido lu uaba iako esmerare.
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.”
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 him, “How can these things be?”
9Nikodemo etkalu, a abi detager, kega, Nako umele gaire lu pedali?
10Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?
10Iesu etkalu, a abi detager, kega, Nako, ma Isaraela ereuer le, a nole erdali abele gaire lu?
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.
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 told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell 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?
13No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of 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.
14As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even 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 whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
15Epe gaire le abim onatareda, ko nagri eded akaida.
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.
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 didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
17Ade nole emarida abara Uerem gesepem ko gesep mer barditug; epe mamoro gesep eded abielam.
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.
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.
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.
19Abele mer barditug, datki gesepem tabarki, gaire le kupkup laglag tumem datki, abelelam uiaba dorge adud.
20For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
20Gaire le adud ikereda, uiaba datki derarteda, a nole datkim tabakeuare, uiaba dorge akmelam.
21But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
21Gaire le ageakar ikereda, uiaba datkim tabakeuare, ko uiaba dorge paret kak, abele emetu ikereda Adim.
22After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.
22Abele gaire lu iobaru, Iesu a abara kaimeg giz bakeuare Iudaia gedim, E uiabi kemem bamer, a bapataiso.
23John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. 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 thrown into prison.
24Abelelam Ioane nole aziri kak au dubar meta.
25Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.
25Ioane ra kaimeg giz a nerute uiaba Iudaia le giz basardare abele tonar ogarup.
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.”
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, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.
27Ioane etkalu, a detager, kega, Nerute le umer kak ko nerute lu erpeilu, ese nole abi ikuar kotorlam.
28You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’
28Uaba kari ageakarem, karielam detaut, kega, Kaka nole Keriso, epe kaka taramarida abi opem.
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.
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.
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.
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.
32What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
32Abele lu E emetu dasmer a asoli, E ageakarem peik; a nole le abara ageakarem erpei.
33He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
33Abele le abara ageakarem erpei, E dedkomet, kega, Ade ageakar.
34For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without 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 loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
35Abet abele Uerem omare, a gaire lu uridili abi tagem aisuer.
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.”
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.
