John 3
1 But there was a man from among the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
And there was a man of the Farisees, Nychodeme bi name, a prince of the Jewis.
2 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.
And he cam to Jhesu bi niyt, and seide to hym, Rabi, we witen, that thou art comun fro God maister; for no man may do these signes, that thou doist, but God be with hym.
3 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.
Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun ayen, he may not se the kyngdom of God.
4 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?
Nychodeme seide to hym, Hou may a man be borun, whanne he is eeld? whether he may entre ayen in to his modris wombe, and be borun ayen?
5 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.
Jhesus answeride, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun ayen of watir, and of the Hooli Goost, he may not entre in to the kyngdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
`That that is borun of the fleisch, is fleisch; and `that that is borun of spirit, is spirit.
7 Do not wonder that I said to thee, It is needful that ye should be born anew.
Wondre thou not, for Y seide to thee, It bihoueth you to be borun ayen.
8 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.
The spirit brethith where he wole, and thou herist his vois, but thou wost not, fro whennus he cometh, ne whidir he goith; so is ech man that is borun of the spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
Nychodeme answeride, and seide to hym, Hou moun these thingis be don?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Thou art the teacher of Israel and knowest not these things!
Jhesus answeride, and seide to hym, Thou art a maister in Israel, and knowist not these thingis?
11 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.
Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, for we speken that that we witen, and we witnessen that that we han seyn, and ye taken not oure witnessyng.
12 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?
If Y haue seid to you ertheli thingis, and ye bileuen not, hou if Y seie to you heueneli thingis, schulen ye bileue?
13 And no one has gone up into heaven, save he who came down out of heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
And no man stieth in to heuene, but he that cam doun fro heuene, mannys sone that is in heuene.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up,
And as Moises areride a serpent in desert, so it bihoueth mannys sone to be reisid,
that ech man that bileueth in hym, perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf. (aiōnios g166)
16 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)
For God louede so the world, that he yaf his `oon bigetun sone, that ech man that bileueth in him perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf. (aiōnios g166)
17 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.
For God sente not his sone in to the world, that he iuge the world, but that the world be saued bi him.
18 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.
He that bileueth in hym, is not demed; but he that bileueth not, is now demed, for he bileueth not in the name of the `oon bigetun sone of God.
19 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.
And this is the dom, for liyt cam in to the world, and men loueden more derknessis than liyt; for her werkes weren yuele.
20 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;
For ech man that doith yuele, hatith the liyt; and he cometh not to the liyt, that hise werkis be not repreued.
21 but he that practises the truth comes to the light, that his works may be manifested that they have been wrought in God.
But he that doith treuthe, cometh to the liyt, that hise werkis be schewid, that thei ben don in God.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he abode with them and baptised.
Aftir these thingis Jhesus cam, and hise disciplis, in to the loond of Judee, and there he dwellide with hem, and baptiside.
23 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:
And Joon was baptisinge in Ennon, bisidis Salym, for many watris weren there; and thei camen, and weren baptisid.
24 for John was not yet cast into prison.
And Joon was not yit sent in to prisoun.
25 There was therefore a reasoning of the disciples of John with a Jew about purification.
Therfor a questioun was maad of Jonys disciplis with the Jewis, of the purificacioun.
26 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.
And thei camen to Joon, and seiden `to hym, Maister, he that was with thee biyonde Jordan, to whom thou hast borun witnessyng, lo! he baptisith, and alle men comen to hym.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it be given him out of heaven.
Joon answerde, and seide, A man may not take ony thing, but it be youun to hym fro heuene.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.
Ye you silf beren witnessyng to me, that Y seide, Y am not Crist, but that Y am sent bifore hym.
29 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.
He that hath a wijf, is the hosebonde; but the freend of the spouse that stondith, and herith hym, ioieth with ioye, for the vois of the spouse. Therfor in this thing my ioye is fulfillid.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
It bihoueth hym to wexe, but me to be maad lesse.
31 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,
He that cam from aboue, is aboue alle; he that is of the erthe, spekith of the erthe; he that cometh from heuene, is aboue alle.
32 [and] what he has seen and has heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony.
And he witnessith that thing that he hath seie, and herde, and no man takith his witnessing.
33 He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true;
But he that takith his witnessyng, hath confermyd that God is sothefast.
34 for he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives not the Spirit by measure.
But he whom God hath sent, spekith the wordis of God; for not to mesure God yyueth the spirit.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things [to be] in his hand.
The fadir loueth the sone, and he hath youun alle thingis in his hoond.
36 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)
He that bileueth in the sone, hath euerlastynge lijf; but he that is vnbileueful to the sone, schal not se euerlastynge lijf, but the wraththe of God dwellith on hym. (aiōnios g166)
