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

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

2 I sagu 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.

This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”

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

Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

4 N ikodemos 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?

Nicodemus 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?”

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

Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

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

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

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

Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

8 D abayshu 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.

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

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

Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”

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

Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?

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

Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.

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

If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

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

No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

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

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

15 i n mid kastoo isaga rumaystaa uu lahaado nolosha weligeed ah.

that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

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

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

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

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

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

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

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

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

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

For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

21 L aakiinse kii runta falaa, nuurkuu yimaadaa si shuqulladiisu u muuqdaan in Ilaah laga sameeyey. Yooxanaa Baabtiisihii Mar Labaad Ayuu Ciise U Sii Marag Furay

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John the Baptist Exalts Christ

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

After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He remained with them and baptized.

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

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

24 W aayo, Yooxanaa weli xabsiga laguma tuurin.

For John had not yet been thrown into prison.

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

Then there arose a dispute between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purification.

26 M arkaasay 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.

And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified—behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!”

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

John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.

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

You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’

29 K ii 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.

He 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 this joy of mine is fulfilled.

30 I sagu waa inuu kordho, aniguse waa inaan yaraado. Kan Jannada Ka Yimid

He must increase, but I must decrease.

31 K ii 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.

He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

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

And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

33 K ii maraggiisa aqbalay wuxuu xaqiijiyey in Ilaah run yahay.

He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true.

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

For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.

35 A abbuhu wuu jecel yahay Wiilka, oo wax walba ayuu gacanta u geliyey.

The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.

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

He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
