4Den Nikodimos ask am, “How dem go fit take born pesin wey don old for di sekond time? Abi di pesin go enter en mama belle make di mama born am again? E fit happen like dat?”
5Jesus ansa am, “I tell yu di trut, unless God born pesin with wota and en Spirit, di pesin nor go fit enter God kingdom. 6Wetin flesh born, na flesh e bi, but wetin God Spirit born, na spirit e bi. 7So, make yu nor konfuse bikos I tok sey, ‘God go born yu for di sekond time.’ 8Wen breeze dey blow, e dey go anywhere e wont, yu dey hear di sound wey e dey make, but yu nor fit know where e dey kom from or where e dey go. Na so e bi with evribody wey God Spirit born.”
9Nikodimos kon ask am, “How dis tins go fit happen?”
10Jesus ansa, “Yu bi tisha for Israel, yet yu nor fit undastand dis tins? 11Make I tell yu di trut, wi dey tok wetin wi sabi and dey bear witness for wetin wi don si with awa eyes, but una nor gri asept wetin wi tok. 12Naw, if I dey tell una about di tins wey dey for dis world and una nor fit bilive wetin I tok, how una go fit take bilive mi, if I bigin dey tell una about di tins wey dey for heaven? 13Nobody don go heaven before, escept Man Pikin wey kom down from heaven and e go-go back der. 14Yu si, as Moses karry di snake go up wen dem dey inside desert, na so too dem go karry Man Pikin up, 15so dat anybody wey bilive am, go get life wey nor dey end.
16“God love di pipol wey dey dis world well-well, so E kon send di only pikin wey E get to us, so dat anybody wey bilive am, nor go die, but e go get life wey nor dey end. 17God nor send en pikin kom kondemn di pipol wey dey inside di world, but make e kom save dem. 18Anybody wey bilive am, God nor go kondemn am. But di pesin wey nor bilive am, God don kondemn am already, bikos di pesin nor bilive God Pikin name. 19Na dis bi di rizin why God go judge di world, bikos lite don kom inside di world, but pipol like to stay for darkness instead of lite, bikos dem dey do tins wey nor good. 20Yu si, evribody wey dey do bad tins dey hate lite and dem nor go gri kom out for where lite dey, make pipol nor for si di bad tins wey dem dey do. 21But di pesin wey dey do good tins, dey kom out for lite, so dat pipol go si di tins wey e dey do, bikos na as God wont naim e dey do.”

27John ansa dem, “Nobody go fit get anytin unless God wey dey heaven, gi-am. 28Unasef go fit bear witness sey, I tok sey I nor bi di Christ, but God send mi kom, before Christ go kom. 29Di pesin wey won marry new wife naim bi di bridegroom. En friend, wey bi di best man, dey listin to am. E go dey happy well-well wen e hear di bridegroom dey tok. Na dis dey make mi happy and my joy don full. 30Pipol must know Christ pass as dem know mi.
31“Di pesin wey kom from heaven betta pass evribody wey dey for dis world. And who dey dis world, dey tok about di tins wey dey inside di world. 32But di pesin wey kom from heaven dey tok about wetin e si and hear for heaven, but pipol nor gri listin to am. 33But pesin wey bilive wetin e tok about God, bilive sey wetin God tok, na true. 34Di pesin wey God send dey tok about God word, bikos God dey give en Spirit to pipol. 35God love en pikin well-well and E gi-am pawa to kontrol evritin. 36Pesin wey bilive di only pikin wey God get, go get life wey nor dey end. But pesin wey nor bilive Man Pikin, nor go get life at-all. God go always dey vex with dat kind pesin.”
