1 Kukabhaakwo umulongoshi yumo uMuyuuta ukufuma mu chibhughutila icha Bhafalisaayi yuuyo ingamu yaake akabha ghwi Nikondeemu. 2 Ishiku limo pabhushiku, uNikondeemu akabhuuka kuukwo uYeesu akabha, akamubhuula akati, “Ghwe Mumanyishi, tumeenye ukuti ughwe ghwe mumanyishi ghwe uChaala akutumite, paapo ataliipo umundu naayumo yuuyo abhaghiile ukubhomba ifyika fiifyo kufibhomba linga uChaala atali pamupeene naghwe.” 3 UYeesu akamwamula akati, “Nalooli ingukubhuula, ataliipo umundu yuuyo abhaghiile ukwingila mu chitangalala icha Chaala* 3:3 Bhelenga ishu ilya Ichitangalala icha Chaala ku Mashu aMaheesha. linga atapaapiighwe ulwa bhubhili.” 4 UNikondeemu akamubhuusha uYeesu akati, “Kali, umundu umughome abhaghiile ukupaapighwa bhuleele ulwa bhubhili? Kali, abhaghiile ukwingila soona mu lufukwe ulwa ngʼina ukuti apaapighwe?” 5 UYeesu akamwamula akati, “Nalooli ingukubhuula, ataliipo umundu yuuyo abhaghiile ukwingila mu chitangalala icha Chaala linga atapaapiighwe ku miishi na ku sila iya Mbepo ughwa Chaala. 6 Umundu akupaapighwa nu mubhili ukufuma ku bhapaapi bhaake, loole akupokeela ubhwumi ubhupya ukufuma kwa Mbepo ughwa Chaala. 7 Manye uswighaghe shiisho naakubhuula ukuti, ‘Kulondighwa upaapighwe taashi ulwa bhubhili.’ 8 Imbepo yikukuka ukubhuuka kwoshi kuukwo yiighana.

9 UNikondeemu akamubhuusha uYeesu akati, “Kali, umundu abhaghiile ukupaapighwa bhuleele ku sila iya Mbepo ughwa Chaala?” 10 UYeesu akamwamula akati, “Ughwe ghwe mumanyishi umughindikighwa ughwa bhandu abha chiisu icha Isilaeli, kali, utashimeenye shooshi ishi? 11 Nalooli ingukubhuula, utwe tukubhabhuula umwe shooshi shiisho tushimeenye nu kubhalingaania shooshi shiisho tushibhweni, loole umwe mutakwitika shiisho tukubhabhuula. 12 Bhwo naabhabhuula shiisho shikubhombighwa pa chiisu ichi umwe mutakwitika, po kali, mubhaghiile ukwitika bhuleele linga ingubhabhuula shiisho shikubhombighwa kumwanya? 13 Ataliipo umundu naayumo yuuyo abhuukite lumo kumwanya, loole uMwana ughwa Mundu yuuyo akiisa ukufuma kumwanya. 14 Isa muumwo uMoose akachikweshekesha ichifwani icha njoka yiiyo yikatendekeshighwa ni shabha ukuti abhapoke aBhaisilaeli bhwo bhali mu lungalangala,✡ 3:14 Mbelengelo 21:4-9 ghwepe uMwana ughwa Mundu akulondighwa ukuti bhakamukweshe pa chikobhekano, 15 ukuti abhape ubhwumi ubhwa bhwila na bhwila abhandu bhaabho bhakumwitika. 16 UChaala akabhaghana abhandu abha mu chiisu ichi, yo yiiyo nongwa iyi akamufumya uMwana ghwake yuuyo ali mwene, ukuti umundu ghweshi yuuyo akumwitika manye asobhaghe, loole abhwaghe ubhwumi ubhwa bhwila na bhwila. 17 UChaala atakamutuma uMwana ghwake pakubhalonga abhandu abha mu chiisu ichi, loole akamutuma pakubhapoka.

18 “UChaala atakubhalonga abhandu bhooshi bhaabho bhakumwitika umwene, loole bhalongiighwe ngaanila abhandu bhooshi bhaabho bhatakumwitika uMwana ghwake yuuyo ali mwene. 19 Ubhu bhwo bhuubhwo bhulongi ukuti umwene akiisa pa chiisu ichi ungati bhwelu, loole abhandu bhakachighana ichiisi ukukinda ukubhughana ubhwelu ubhwo paapo imbombo shaabho shikabha mbiibhi. 20 Abhandu bhooshi bhaabho bhakubhomba imbiibhi bhakubhukalalila ubhwelu ubhwo, soona bhatakulonda ukubhuuka kukwake yuuyo ali ungati bhwelu, paapo bhakwoghopa ukuti manye ashibhiike pabhwelu imbiibhi shaabho. 21 Loole abhandu bhooshi bhaabho bhakubhomba inyiisa bhakubhuuka kukwake yuuyo ali ungati bhwelu.

22 Bhwo isho shaakinda, uYeesu na bhamanyili bhaake bhakatiila mu kaaya aka Yelusaleemu nu kubhuuka mu chiisu icha Yuteeya. Bhakiikala ku kabhalilo kamu mu chiisu icho nu kubhoosha abhandu.† 3:22 Kubhoosha abhandu Panu ataa ghwi Yeesu yuuyo akabhooshanga abhandu, loole akabhapa abhamanyili bhaake amaka agha kubhoosha abhandu (Yoohani 4:2). 23 Mu kabhalilo kala kala, uYoohani uMwoshi ghwepe akabhooshanga abhandu mu kaaya aka Ayinooni kupiipi na kaaya aka Saleemu ku nongwa iya kuti kukabha na miishi amingi. Abhandu bhakabhuukagha kukwake ukuti abhooshe. 24 UYoohani uMwoshi akabhombagha imbombo iyo bhwo uHelooti akaali ukumukola nu kumubhiika mu nyumba iya bhapinyighwa.

25 Ishiku limo abhamanyili abha Yoohani uMwoshi bhamu bhakaanda ukukaanikana nu Muyuuta yumo ku sha lwiho ulwa kwiyeelufya ukubha mwelu. 26 Po bhakabhuuka kwa Yoohani uMwoshi, bhakamubhuula bhakati, “Ghwe Mumanyishi, umundu yuuyo ukabha naghwe ku isiila ilya lusooko ulwa Yoolotani, yuuyo ukatulingaaniapo ni nongwa shaake, ulu ali pakubhoosha abhandu na bhandu bhooshi bhakubhuuka kukwake.” 27 UYoohani akabhaamula akati, “Umundu atabhaghiile ukukaagha akandu linga uChaala atamupiile. 28 Umwe mwe bhakeeti bhangu ku shiisho ingayugha ukuti, ‘Une indaa nee Mesiiya,’ loole uChaala akaanduma ukuti indangile mundaashi mumwake pakubhabhuula abhandu ukuti akwisa. 29 Umulindu yuuyo akweghighwa, akulondighwa ukubhuuka ku muliisha yuuyo akumwegha. Une indi isa umumanyani ughwa mundu yuuyo akwegha, yuuyo akwima kulubhafu kukwake nu kuhobhoka bhwo akupulika ishu ilya yuuyo akwegha. Bhubhuubhwo, nuune inguhobhoka leka paapo abhandu bhakubhuuka kwa Yeesu. 30 Shikulondighwa uYeesu abhange ghwi songo ngaani, loole une imbange munandi ngaani.

31 “UYeesu yuuyo afumite kumwanya ali na maka ukukinda abhandu bhooshi, loole umwene yuuyo ghwa pa chiisu ichi, ashimeenye nu kushiyugha shiisho shikubhoneka pa chiisu ichi.
