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

Now 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.

The same came to him 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 him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

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 certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom!

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

That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

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

Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’

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 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.”

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

Nicodemus answered 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 him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand 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 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.

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

If I told you earthly things and you don’t 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 into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, 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,

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 one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

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

For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

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 judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

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

This 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.

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

For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would 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 works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

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 came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there 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.

John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came, and were baptized.

24 W aayo, Yooxanaa weli xabsiga laguma tuurin.

For John was not yet thrown into prison.

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

There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with some 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.

They came to John, and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, the same baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”

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

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

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

You yourselves testify 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. This, my joy, therefore is made full.

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 from the earth belongs to the earth, 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.

What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.

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

He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, 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 gives the Spirit without 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.

One 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.”
