¹There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

¹Waxaa jiray nin ka mid ahaa Farrisiinta oo la odhan jiray Nikodemos oo Yuhuudda taliye u ahaa.

²The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

²Isagu habeenkuu u yimid Ciise, wuxuuna ku yidhi, Macallimow, waannu og nahay inaad tahay macallin ka yimid Ilaah, waayo, ninna ma samayn karo calaamooyinkan aad samayso haddaan Ilaah la jirin.

³Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

³Ciise ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Runtii, runtii waxaan kugu leeyahay, Qof haddaanu mar kale dhalan, boqortooyadii Ilaah arki kari maayo.

⁴Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

⁴Nikodemos wuxuu ku yidhi, Sidee baa nin mar kale u dhalan karaa isagoo duq ah? Miyuu mar kale uurkii hooyadiis geli karaa oo ka dhalan karaa?

⁵Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

⁵Ciise baa ugu jawaabay, Runtii, runtii, waxaan kugu leeyahay, Qof haddaanu ka dhalan biyo iyo Ruuxa, boqortooyadii Ilaah geli kari maayo.

⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁶Waxa jidhka ka dhashaa waa jidh, waxa Ruuxa ka dhashaana waa ruux.

⁷Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

⁷Ha la yaabin haddaan ku leeyahay, Waa inaad mar kale dhalataan.

⁸The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

⁸Dabayshu way u dhacdaa meeshay doonto, waxaadna maqashaa xiinkeeda, laakiin ma ogid meeshay ka timaado iyo meeshay u kacdo; waa sidaas oo kale qof kasta oo Ruuxa ka dhasha.

⁹Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

⁹Nikodemos ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Sidee baa waxyaalahaas u noqon karaan?

¹⁰Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

¹⁰Markaasaa Ciise u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Ma waxaad tahay macallinka Israa'iil, oo aadan weliba waxyaalahaasna garanayn?

¹¹Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

¹¹Runtii, runtii, waxaan ku leeyahay, Waxaannu naqaan ayaannu ka hadalnaa, oo waxaannu aragnay ayaannu ka marag furnaa, idinkuna maraggayaga ma aqbashaan.

¹²If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

¹²Haddaan wixii dunida idiin sheegay oo aad rumaysan weydeen, sidee baad u rumaysanaysaan haddaan waxa jannada idiin sheego?

¹³And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

¹³Ninna jannada kor uma tegin, kii jannada ka soo degay maahee, waana Wiilka Aadanaha oo jannada jooga.

¹⁴And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁴Sidii Muuse abeesadii kor ugu qaaday cidlada, sidaasoo kale Wiilka Aadanaha waa in kor loo qaado,

¹⁵That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁵in mid kastoo isaga rumaystaa uu lahaado nolosha weligeed ah.

¹⁶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁶Ilaah intuu dunida jacayl u qabay ayuu siiyey Wiilkiisa keliya oo dhashay in mid kastoo isaga rumaystaa uusan lumin laakiinse uu lahaado nolosha weligeed ah.

¹⁷For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

¹⁷Ilaah Wiilka uguma soo dirin dunida inuu xukumo dunida, laakiin wuxuu u soo diray inay dunidu ku badbaaddo isaga.

¹⁸He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁸Kii isaga rumaystaa ma xukumna, laakiinse kii aan isaga rumaysan, hore ayaa loo xukumay, maxaa yeelay, wuxuusan rumaysan magaca Wiilka Ilaah oo keliya oo dhashay.

¹⁹And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

¹⁹Kanu waa xukunka, nuurka ayaa dunida yimid, dadkiise waxay nuurkii ka jeclaadeen gudcurka, maxaa yeelay, shuqulladoodu shar bay ahaayeen.

²⁰For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²⁰Nin kastoo shar falaa nuurkuu nebcaadaa, umana yimaado nuurka, si aan shuqulladiisa loogu canaanan.

²¹But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

²¹Laakiinse kii runta falaa, nuurkuu yimaadaa si shuqulladiisu u muuqdaan in Ilaah laga sameeyey.

²²After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

²²Waxaas dabadeed Ciise iyo xertiisii waxay yimaadeen dalka Yahuudiya, oo meeshaas ayuu iyaga la joogay oo dad ku baabtiisay.

²³And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

²³Yooxanaana wuxuu dad ku baabtiisayay Caynoon oo ku dhow Saalim, waayo, meeshaasu waxay lahayd biyo badan, iyaguna way yimaadeen, waana la baabtiisay.

²⁴For John was not yet cast into prison.

²⁴Waayo, Yooxanaa weli xabsiga laguma tuurin.

²⁵Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.

²⁵Sidaa aawadeed waxaa ka dhex kacay Yooxanaa xertiisii iyo nin Yuhuudi ahaa weyddiis oo daahirinta ku saabsan.

²⁶And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

²⁶Markaasay u yimaadeen Yooxanaa oo ku yidhaahdeen, Macallimow, kii kula jiray Webi Urdun shishadiisa oo aad marag u furtay ayaa dad baabtiisaya, oo dadka oo dhan way u imanayaan.

²⁷John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

²⁷Yooxanaa waa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Ninna waxba ma heli karo haddaan jannada laga siin.

²⁸Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

²⁸Idinka qudhiinnu markhaatiyaal baad tihiin inaan idhi, Anigu ma ihi Masiixa, laakiin hortiisa ayaa lay soo diray.

²⁹He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

²⁹Kii aroosadda qabaa waa arooska, laakiin saaxiibka arooska oo ag taagan oo maqla isaga, aad buu ugu farxaa codkii arooska daraaddiis. Sidaa aawadeed farxaddaydu waa dhan tahay.

³⁰He must increase, but I must decrease.

³⁰Isagu waa inuu kordho, aniguse waa inaan yaraado.

³¹He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

³¹Kii xagga sare ka yimaadaa, dhammaan ayuu ka sarreeyaa; kii dunida ka yimaadaana waa kii dunida, oo wuxuu ka hadlaa dunida. Kii jannada ka yimaadaa, dhammaan ayuu ka sarreeyaa.

³²And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

³²Wuxuu arkay oo maqlay waxaas ayuu ka marag furaa, ninnana maraggiisa ma aqbalo.

³³He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

³³Kii maraggiisa aqbalay wuxuu xaqiijiyey in Ilaah run yahay.

³⁴For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

³⁴Waayo, kii Ilaah soo diray ayaa ereygii Ilaah ku hadla, maxaa yeelay, isagu qiyaas kuma siiyo Ruuxa.

³⁵The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

³⁵Aabbuhu wuu jecel yahay Wiilka, oo wax walba ayuu gacanta u geliyey.Kii Wiilka rumaystaa, wuxuu leeyahay nolosha weligeed ah, kii aan Wiilka rumaysanse, nolosha ma arki doono, laakiin cadhadii Ilaah ayaa ku taal isaga.

³⁶He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

³⁶Kii Wiilka rumaystaa, wuxuu leeyahay nolosha weligeed ah, kii aan Wiilka rumaysanse, nolosha ma arki doono, laakiin cadhadii Ilaah ayaa ku taal isaga.
