3 Yesu nakedichila, “Ndanguwalonjelani ndikomya, kuduhu munhu yowona Undewa wa Nguluwi mbaka yavumbuche lwa keli.”
4 Nikodemo nakauza, “Yowa ndaze munhu mkulu yavumbuche lwa keli? Hambi koweza kwinjila kuli munda wa mayake ndo yavumbuche lwa keli!”
5 Yesu nakamlonjela, “Ndanguwalonjelani ndikomya, kuduhu munhu yokwinjila kuli Undewa wa Nguluwi wone havumbuche kwa malenga na kwa Muhe Yelile. 6 Munhu kovumbuka chilukuli na Mhaza wa heye na mayake, ila kovumbuka kwa Muhe Yelile. 7 Uleche kijesa vyondikulonjele kota igana mvumbuche lwa keli. 8 Mbeho iputaga kweng'ha kota vyoilingugana, hegwe kohulika lizi vyoidita, ila kowa huvizelele kota kohi koulawila na kohi kouluta. Ahi ndo vyoili kwa munhu yaleligwe kwa Muhe Yelile.”
9 Nikodemo nakamuuza, “Mbuli azi zowa ndaze?”
10 Yesu nakedichila, “Hegwe uli mlangusa mkulu ahano Isilaeli ila hugazelele agano? 11 Ndangukulonjela ndikomya, twangulonga agala tugazelele na twangulonga ulolezi kwa agala tugawene, ila kuduhu munhu yowakola lupichi kubochela aga tutumigwe. 12 Wone hamkundile hondiwalonjele mbuli za isi ino, hambi mokunda ndaze hondiwalonjela mbuli za kilanga? 13 Kuduhu munhu yalutile kilanga ila heye Mwana wa Munhu, yaduliche kulawa kilanga.”
14 Kota vila Musa vyowenule izoka lya shaba akula kugunuche, hiho yowa kuli Mwana wa Munhu kokwinuligwa kuchanya, 15 leka munhu yoneche yomkunda yawe na ukomu wa mazuwa gose ne kuduma. 16 Nguluwi nakawagana wanhu wa isi, mbaka kamigala Mwanage yaliyeng'ha leka chila munhu yomkunda yaleche kubagama ila yawe na ukomu wa mazuwa gose ne kuduma. 17 Nguluwi hamwigale Mwanage kuli isi leka yawataguse wanhu, ila kamigala yawalohole.
18 Munhu yoneche yamkundile Yesu kahela utaguso, ila munhu yohomkunda, mina katagusigwa, kwavila kalema kumkunda Mwana yaliyeng'ha wa Nguluwi. 19 Utaguso awo ndo uno. Lumuli luya kuli isi yeng'ha ila wanhu nawagana kutitu woleka lumuli, kwa vila madito gawo geha. 20 Chila munhu yalingudita gehile kangulema lumuli, nahokuya kuli lumuli mina halingugana gehile ga heye goneche. 21 Leka munhu yoneche yalingudita ga kukomya galingumnojeza Nguluwi koyaga kuli lumuli, leka madito ga heye goneche gaditigwa kwa kumtogola Nguluwi.
25 Kitwanza nakulawila hagati kwa wamwe wa walanguswa wa Yohani na Myahudi yumwe kuli chihendo cha kihovuga leka wamlande Nguluwi. 26 Walanguswa awo nawamlutila Yohani na kumlonjela, “Mlangusa, yula munhu yawele hamwe na hegwe kumwambu kwa Yolodani, na hegwe ulonjile mbuli za heye, sambi na heye kangubatiza, na wanhu weng'ha wanguluta kwa heye!”
27 Yohani nakamlonjela, “Munhu howeza kuwa na chinhu wone hapeligwe kulawa kilanga. 28 Na hemwe namwe moweza kulavya ulolezi kota nandonga, ‘Heni siwele Kilistu Mlohozi, ila nhumigwa leka ndimlongole!’ 29 Mkasano wa heye mzenjele, ila mganwa wa mzenjele, yalingwima na kuhulichiza, kasechelelaga hoyohulika mzenjele yolonga. Ndo usangalalo wa heni vyowenele. 30 Imgana heye yazidi kuwa na ukulu, na heni ndiwe mdodo.”
