Joan 3
1 Cen bada Phariseuetaric edoceimbat Nicodemo deitzen cenic, Iuduén arteco principaletaric bat:
But there was a man from among the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 Haur ethor cedin Iesusgana gauaz, eta erran cieçón, Magistruá, baceaquiagu ecen Iaincoaganic magistru ethorria aicela: ecen nehorc ecin eguin citzaquec hic eguiten dituán signo hauc, Iaincoa harequin ezpada.
he came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God, for none can do these signs that thou doest unless God be with him.
3 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec eta erran cieçón, Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauat, berriz iayo içanen eztenec, ecin ikus deçaquela Iaincoaren resumá
Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born anew he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Erran cieçón Nicodemoc, Nolatan guiçona iayo ahal daite çahar denean? ala berriz bere amaren sabelean sar eta iayo ahal daite?
Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born being old? can he enter a second time into the womb of his mother and be born?
5 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauát, vrez eta Spirituz iayo eztena, ecin sar daitela Iaincoaren resumán.
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born of water and of Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Haraguitic iayo dena haragui duc: eta Spiritutic iayo dena, spiritu duc.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Ezteçála mirets ceren erran drauadan, Berriz iayo behar çarete.
Do not wonder that I said to thee, It is needful that ye should be born anew.
8 Haiceac nahi duen lekura diraunsac: eta haren hotsa ençuten duc: baina eztaquic nondic heldu den ez norat ioaiten den: hala duc spiritutic iayo den gucia.
The wind blows where it will, and thou hearest its voice, but knowest not whence it comes and where it goes: thus is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Ihardets ceçan Nicodemoc, eta erran cieçon, Nolatan gauça hauc eguin ahal daitezque?
Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
10 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, eta erran cieçón, Hi aiz Israeleco doctor, eta gauça hauc eztituc eçagutzen?
Jesus answered and said to him, Thou art the teacher of Israel and knowest not these things!
11 Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauat, ecen daquigun gauçá erraiten dugula, eta ikussi dugun gauçáz testificatzen dugula: baina gure testimoniagea eztuçue recebitzen.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and we bear witness of that which we have seen, and ye receive not our witness.
12 Baldin lurreco gauçác erran badrauzquiçuet, eta sinhesten ezpadituçue? nolatan baldin ceruco gauçác erran badietzaçuet sinhetsiren duçue?
If I have said the earthly things to you, and ye believe not, how, if I say the heavenly things to you, will ye believe?
13 Ecen nehor ezta igan cerura, cerutic iautsi dena baicen, cein baita guiçonaren Seme ceruän dena.
And no one has gone up into heaven, save he who came down out of heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
14 Eta nola Moysesec altcha baitzeçan suguea desertuan, hala altcha dadin behar da guiçonaren Semea:
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up,
that every one who believes on him may [not perish, but] have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
16 Ecen hala Iaincoac onhetsi vkan du mundua, non bere Seme bakoitza eman vkan baitu, hura baithan sinhesten duenic gal eztadin, baina vicitze eternala duençát. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 Ecen eztu igorri Iaincoac bere Semea mundura, mundua condemna deçançát, baina mundua harçaz salua dadinçát.
For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him.
18 Hura baithan sinhesten duenic, ezta condemnatzen: baina sinhesten eztuena ia condemnatua da: ecen eztu sinhetsi Iaincoaren Seme bakoitzaren icenean.
He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
19 Haur da bada condemnationea, ecen Arguia ethorri da mundura, baina onhetsiago dute guizonéc ilhumbea ecen ez Arguia: ceren hayen obrác gaichtoac baitirade.
And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light; for their works were evil.
20 Ecen gaizqui ari den guciac, gaitz daritza arguiari: eta ezta arguira ethorten, haren obrác reprehendi eztitecençat.
For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light that his works may not be shewn as they are;
21 Baina bidezqui ari dena, ethorten da arguira, haren obrác manifesta ditecençat: ceren Iaincoaren araura eguinac baitirade.
but he that practises the truth comes to the light, that his works may be manifested that they have been wrought in God.
22 Guero ethor cedin Iesus bere discipuluequin Iudeaco lurrera: eta han egoiten cen hequin, eta batheyatzen ari cen.
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he abode with them and baptised.
23 Eta Ioannes-ere batheyatzen ari cen Enonen Salimgo aldean, ceren anhitz vr baitzén han: eta ethorten ciradén gendeac eta batheyatzen ciraden.
And John also was baptising in Aenon, near Salim, because there was a great deal of water there; and they came to [him] and were baptised:
24 Ecen oraino etzén eçarri içan Ioannes presoindeguian.
for John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Altcha cedin bada questionebat Ioannesen discipuluetaric Iuduequin purificationeaz.
There was therefore a reasoning of the disciples of John with a Jew about purification.
26 Eta ethor citecen Ioannesgana, eta erran cieçoten, Magistruá, Iordanaz berce aldean hirequin cena, ceinez hic testificatu baituc, hará, batheyatzen ari duc, eta guciac ethorten dituc harengana.
And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, he baptises, and all come to him.
27 Ihardets ceçan Ioannes-ec eta erran ceçan, Ecin guiçonac recebi deçaque deus, baldin eman ezpadaquio cerutic.
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it be given him out of heaven.
28 Çuec ceuroc çaituztet testimonio nola erran dudan, Ez naiz ni Christ, baina igorri içan naiz haren aitzinean.
Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.
29 Sposa duena sposo da: baina sposo denaren adisquide han dena eta hura ençuten duena, haguitz alegueratzen da sposoaren vozagatic: beraz ene alegrançá complitu da.
He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices in heart because of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy then is fulfilled.
30 Harc behar du handitu, eta nic chipitu.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 Garaitic ethorri dena, gucién gaineco da: lurretic dena, lurreco da, eta lurreco gaucéz minço da: cerutic ethorri dena gucién gaineco da.
He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin in the earth is of the earth, and speaks [as] of the earth. He who comes out of heaven is above all,
32 Eta cer ikussi eta ençun baitu hura testificatzen du: baina haren testimoniagea nehorc eztu recebitzen.
[and] what he has seen and has heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony.
33 Haren testimoniagea recebitu duenac ciguilatu du ecen Iaincoa eguiati dela.
He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true;
34 Ecen Iaincoac igorri duena Iaincoaren hitzéz minçatzen da, ecen Iaincoac eztrauca neurriz emaiten Spiritua.
for he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives not the Spirit by measure.
35 Aitác maite du Semea, eta gauça guciac eman ditu haren escura.
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things [to be] in his hand.
36 Sinhesten duenac Semea baithan, badu vicitze eternala: baina Semea obeditzen eztuenac, eztu ikussiren vicitzea, baina Iaincoaren hirá dago haren gainean. (aiōnios g166)
He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him. (aiōnios g166)
