Ja(jaa) means like "then". "Mata" means see you. So it could be "see you then" or "then, see you!"
"Ne" is used to make a sentence sounds softer.
eg: きょう は てんき が いいです。
きょう は てんき が いいですね。
You can say only "mata!" as well but adding "ne" sounds like more friendly.

They mean the same. We use them colloquially.
We also say:
Jaa mata, Ja matane, Jaa matane, Jaane, Dewa mata...etc.
They mean the same like "see you" or "bye".
("Dewa" sounds more formal than "ja" or "jaa".)
I hope this helped you.
