John 3
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
nikadimanAmA yihUdIyAnAm adhipatiH phirUzI kSaNadAyAM
2 This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou have come a teacher from God, for no man can do these signs that thou do if God is not with him.
yIzaurabhyarNam Avrajya vyAhArSIt, he guro bhavAn IzvarAd Agat eka upadeSTA, etad asmAbhirjJAyate; yato bhavatA yAnyAzcaryyakarmmANi kriyante paramezvarasya sAhAyyaM vinA kenApi tattatkarmmANi karttuM na zakyante|
3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to thee, If any man is not begotten from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
tadA yIzuruttaraM dattavAn tavAhaM yathArthataraM vyAharAmi punarjanmani na sati kopi mAnava Izvarasya rAjyaM draSTuM na zaknoti|
4 Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be begotten, being old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's belly, and be born?
tato nikadImaH pratyavocat manujo vRddho bhUtvA kathaM janiSyate? sa kiM puna rmAtRrjaTharaM pravizya janituM zaknoti?
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to thee, If any man is not begotten from water and Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
yIzuravAdId yathArthataram ahaM kathayAmi manuje toyAtmabhyAM puna rna jAte sa Izvarasya rAjyaM praveSTuM na zaknoti|
6 That which is begotten from the flesh is flesh, and that which is begotten from the Spirit is spirit.
mAMsAd yat jAyate tan mAMsameva tathAtmano yo jAyate sa Atmaiva|
7 Marvel not that I said to thee, ye must be begotten from above.
yuSmAbhiH puna rjanitavyaM mamaitasyAM kathAyAm AzcaryaM mA maMsthAH|
8 The wind blows where it will, and thou hear the sound of it, but know not from where it comes, and where it goes. So is every man who is begotten from the Spirit.
sadAgatiryAM dizamicchati tasyAmeva dizi vAti, tvaM tasya svanaM zuNoSi kintu sa kuta AyAti kutra yAti vA kimapi na jAnAsi tadvAd AtmanaH sakAzAt sarvveSAM manujAnAM janma bhavati|
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things happen?
tadA nikadImaH pRSTavAn etat kathaM bhavituM zaknoti?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Thou are the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
yIzuH pratyaktavAn tvamisrAyelo gururbhUtvApi kimetAM kathAM na vetsi?
11 Truly, truly, I say to thee, we speak that which we know, and testify of what we have seen, and ye do not accept our testimony.
tubhyaM yathArthaM kathayAmi, vayaM yad vidmastad vacmaH yaMcca pazyAmastasyaiva sAkSyaM dadmaH kintu yuSmAbhirasmAkaM sAkSitvaM na gRhyate|
12 If I told you earthly things, and ye do not believe, how will ye believe if I should tell you heavenly things?
etasya saMsArasya kathAyAM kathitAyAM yadi yUyaM na vizvasitha tarhi svargIyAyAM kathAyAM kathaM vizvasiSyatha?
13 And no man has ascended into heaven, except he who came down out of heaven: the Son of man who is in heaven.
yaH svarge'sti yaM ca svargAd avArohat taM mAnavatanayaM vinA kopi svargaM nArohat|
14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,
aparaJca mUsA yathA prAntare sarpaM protthApitavAn manuSyaputro'pi tathaivotthApitavyaH;
15 so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
tasmAd yaH kazcit tasmin vizvasiSyati so'vinAzyaH san anantAyuH prApsyati| (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Izvara itthaM jagadadayata yat svamadvitIyaM tanayaM prAdadAt tato yaH kazcit tasmin vizvasiSyati so'vinAzyaH san anantAyuH prApsyati| (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent the Son into the world not that he might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
Izvaro jagato lokAn daNDayituM svaputraM na preSya tAn paritrAtuM preSitavAn|
18 He who believes in him is not condemned. He who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
ataeva yaH kazcit tasmin vizvasiti sa daNDArho na bhavati kintu yaH kazcit tasmin na vizvasiti sa idAnImeva daNDArho bhavati, yataH sa IzvarasyAdvitIyaputrasya nAmani pratyayaM na karoti|
19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil.
jagato madhye jyotiH prAkAzata kintu manuSyANAM karmmaNAM dRSTatvAt te jyotiSopi timire prIyante etadeva daNDasya kAraNAM bhavati|
20 For every man who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be exposed.
yaH kukarmma karoti tasyAcArasya dRSTatvAt sa jyotirRRtIyitvA tannikaTaM nAyAti;
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, so that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God.
kintu yaH satkarmma karoti tasya sarvvANi karmmANIzvareNa kRtAnIti sathA prakAzate tadabhiprAyeNa sa jyotiSaH sannidhim AyAti|
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the Judean country. And he remained there with them and immersed.
tataH param yIzuH ziSyaiH sArddhaM yihUdIyadezaM gatvA tatra sthitvA majjayitum Arabhata|
23 And John also was immersing in Aenon near Salim because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed.
tadA zAlam nagarasya samIpasthAyini ainan grAme bahutaratoyasthitestatra yohan amajjayat tathA ca lokA Agatya tena majjitA abhavan|
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
tadA yohan kArAyAM na baddhaH|
25 Therefore a debate developed from John's disciples with the Jews about purification.
aparaJca zAcakarmmaNi yohAnaH ziSyaiH saha yihUdIyalokAnAM vivAde jAte, te yohanaH saMnnidhiM gatvAkathayan,
26 And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, about whom thou have testified, behold, this man immerses, and all men come to him.
he guro yarddananadyAH pAre bhavatA sArddhaM ya AsIt yasmiMzca bhavAn sAkSyaM pradadAt pazyatu sopi majjayati sarvve tasya samIpaM yAnti ca|
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it is given to him from heaven.
tadA yohan pratyavocad IzvareNa na datte kopi manujaH kimapi prAptuM na zaknoti|
28 Ye yourselves testify that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent ahead of that man.
ahaM abhiSikto na bhavAmi kintu tadagre preSitosmi yAmimAM kathAM kathitavAnAhaM tatra yUyaM sarvve sAkSiNaH stha|
29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This therefore my joy is fulfilled.
yo janaH kanyAM labhate sa eva varaH kintu varasya sannidhau daNDAyamAnaM tasya yanmitraM tena varasya zabde zrute'tIvAhlAdyate mamApi tadvad AnandasiddhirjAtA|
30 It is necessary for that man to increase, but me to decrease.
tena kramazo varddhitavyaM kintu mayA hsitavyaM|
31 He who comes from above is above all things. He who is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all things.
ya UrdhvAdAgacchat sa sarvveSAM mukhyo yazca saMsArAd udapadyata sa sAMsArikaH saMsArIyAM kathAJca kathayati yastu svargAdAgacchat sa sarvveSAM mukhyaH|
32 And what he has seen and heard, of this he testifies, and no man receives his testimony.
sa yadapazyadazRNocca tasminneva sAkSyaM dadAti tathApi prAyazaH kazcit tasya sAkSyaM na gRhlAti;
33 He who has received his testimony has set a seal that God is true.
kintu yo gRhlAti sa Izvarasya satyavAditvaM mudrAGgitaM karoti|
34 For he whom God sent speaks the sayings of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.
IzvareNa yaH preritaH saeva IzvarIyakathAM kathayati yata Izvara AtmAnaM tasmai aparimitam adadAt|
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
pitA putre snehaM kRtvA tasya haste sarvvANi samarpitavAn|
36 He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (aiōnios g166)
yaH kazcit putre vizvasiti sa evAnantam paramAyuH prApnoti kintu yaH kazcit putre na vizvasiti sa paramAyuSo darzanaM na prApnoti kintvIzvarasya kopabhAjanaM bhUtvA tiSThati| (aiōnios g166)
