< John 3 >

1 Now there was a man among the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
نِکَدِمَناما یِہُودِییانامْ اَدھِپَتِح پھِرُوشِی کْشَنَدایاں
2 The same went to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that you have come as a teacher from God, because no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.”
یِیشَورَبھْیَرْنَمْ آوْرَجْیَ وْیاہارْشِیتْ، ہے گُرو بھَوانْ اِیشْوَرادْ آگَتْ ایکَ اُپَدیشْٹا، ایتَدْ اَسْمابھِرْجْنایَتے؛ یَتو بھَوَتا یانْیاشْچَرْیَّکَرْمّانِ کْرِیَنْتے پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ ساہایَّں وِنا کیناپِ تَتَّتْکَرْمّانِ کَرْتُّں نَ شَکْیَنْتے۔
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly I say to you, unless someone is begotten from Above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.”
تَدا یِیشُرُتَّرَں دَتَّوانْ تَواہَں یَتھارْتھَتَرَں وْیاہَرامِ پُنَرْجَنْمَنِ نَ سَتِ کوپِ مانَوَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیَں دْرَشْٹُں نَ شَکْنوتِ۔
4 Nicodemus says to Him: “How can a man be begotten, being old? He can't enter his mother's womb a second time and be born, can he?”
تَتو نِکَدِیمَح پْرَتْیَووچَتْ مَنُجو ورِدّھو بھُوتْوا کَتھَں جَنِشْیَتے؟ سَ کِں پُنَ رْماترِرْجَٹھَرَں پْرَوِشْیَ جَنِتُں شَکْنوتِ؟
5 Jesus answered: “Most assuredly I say to you, unless someone is begotten by water and Spirit he is not able to enter the kingdom of God.
یِیشُرَوادِیدْ یَتھارْتھَتَرَمْ اَہَں کَتھَیامِ مَنُجے تویاتْمَبھْیاں پُنَ رْنَ جاتے سَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیَں پْرَویشْٹُں نَ شَکْنوتِ۔
6 That which has been begotten by the flesh is flesh, and that which has been begotten by the Spirit is spirit.
ماںسادْ یَتْ جایَتے تَنْ ماںسَمیوَ تَتھاتْمَنو یو جایَتے سَ آتْمَیوَ۔
7 Do not be perplexed that I said to you, ‘You (pl) need to be begotten from Above.’
یُشْمابھِح پُنَ رْجَنِتَوْیَں مَمَیتَسْیاں کَتھایامْ آشْچَرْیَں ما مَںسْتھاح۔
8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you (sg) hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who has been begotten by the Spirit.”
سَداگَتِرْیاں دِشَمِچّھَتِ تَسْیامیوَ دِشِ واتِ، تْوَں تَسْیَ سْوَنَں شُنوشِ کِنْتُ سَ کُتَ آیاتِ کُتْرَ یاتِ وا کِمَپِ نَ جاناسِ تَدْوادْ آتْمَنَح سَکاشاتْ سَرْوّیشاں مَنُجاناں جَنْمَ بھَوَتِ۔
9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”
تَدا نِکَدِیمَح پرِشْٹَوانْ ایتَتْ کَتھَں بھَوِتُں شَکْنوتِ؟
10 Jesus answered and said to Him: “You are the teacher of Israel, yet you do not understand these things?
یِیشُح پْرَتْیَکْتَوانْ تْوَمِسْراییلو گُرُرْبھُوتْواپِ کِمیتاں کَتھاں نَ ویتْسِ؟
11 Most assuredly I say to you, we speak what we know and testify to what we have seen, but you (pl) do not receive our testimony.
تُبھْیَں یَتھارْتھَں کَتھَیامِ، وَیَں یَدْ وِدْمَسْتَدْ وَچْمَح یَںچَّ پَشْیامَسْتَسْیَیوَ ساکْشْیَں دَدْمَح کِنْتُ یُشْمابھِرَسْماکَں ساکْشِتْوَں نَ گرِہْیَتے۔
12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I should tell you the heavenly?
ایتَسْیَ سَںسارَسْیَ کَتھایاں کَتھِتایاں یَدِ یُویَں نَ وِشْوَسِتھَ تَرْہِ سْوَرْگِییایاں کَتھایاں کَتھَں وِشْوَسِشْیَتھَ؟
13 No one has gone up into Heaven except the One who came down out of Heaven —the Son of the Man, who is in Heaven.
یَح سْوَرْگےسْتِ یَں چَ سْوَرْگادْ اَواروہَتْ تَں مانَوَتَنَیَں وِنا کوپِ سْوَرْگَں ناروہَتْ۔
14 Also, just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, just so the Son of the Man must be lifted up,
اَپَرَنْچَ مُوسا یَتھا پْرانْتَرے سَرْپَں پْروتّھاپِتَوانْ مَنُشْیَپُتْروپِ تَتھَیووتّھاپِتَوْیَح؛
15 so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
تَسْمادْ یَح کَشْچِتْ تَسْمِنْ وِشْوَسِشْیَتِ سووِناشْیَح سَنْ اَنَنْتایُح پْراپْسْیَتِ۔ (aiōnios g166)
16 Because God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
اِیشْوَرَ اِتّھَں جَگَدَدَیَتَ یَتْ سْوَمَدْوِتِییَں تَنَیَں پْرادَداتْ تَتو یَح کَشْچِتْ تَسْمِنْ وِشْوَسِشْیَتِ سووِناشْیَح سَنْ اَنَنْتایُح پْراپْسْیَتِ۔ (aiōnios g166)
17 For God did not send His Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.
اِیشْوَرو جَگَتو لوکانْ دَنْڈَیِتُں سْوَپُتْرَں نَ پْریشْیَ تانْ پَرِتْراتُں پْریشِتَوانْ۔
18 The one believing into Him is not condemned, but the one not believing has already been condemned, because he has not believed into the name of the only begotten Son of God.
اَتَایوَ یَح کَشْچِتْ تَسْمِنْ وِشْوَسِتِ سَ دَنْڈارْہو نَ بھَوَتِ کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ تَسْمِنْ نَ وِشْوَسِتِ سَ اِدانِیمیوَ دَنْڈارْہو بھَوَتِ،یَتَح سَ اِیشْوَرَسْیادْوِتِییَپُتْرَسْیَ نامَنِ پْرَتْیَیَں نَ کَروتِ۔
19 “Now this is the basis for the condemning, that the Light has come into the world, but the people loved the darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were malignant.
جَگَتو مَدھْیے جْیوتِح پْراکاشَتَ کِنْتُ مَنُشْیاناں کَرْمَّناں درِشْٹَتْواتْ تے جْیوتِشوپِ تِمِرے پْرِییَنْتے ایتَدیوَ دَنْڈَسْیَ کارَناں بھَوَتِ۔
20 For whoever practices evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds may not be exposed.
یَح کُکَرْمَّ کَروتِ تَسْیاچارَسْیَ درِشْٹَتْواتْ سَ جْیوتِررِیتِییِتْوا تَنِّکَٹَں نایاتِ؛
21 But whoever does the truth comes to the Light so that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they are done in God.”
کِنْتُ یَح سَتْکَرْمَّ کَروتِ تَسْیَ سَرْوّانِ کَرْمّانِیشْوَرینَ کرِتانِیتِ سَتھا پْرَکاشَتے تَدَبھِپْرایینَ سَ جْیوتِشَح سَنِّدھِمْ آیاتِ۔
22 After these things Jesus, with His disciples, went into the Judean countryside, and there He spent time with them and baptized.
تَتَح پَرَمْ یِیشُح شِشْیَیح سارْدّھَں یِہُودِییَدیشَں گَتْوا تَتْرَ سْتھِتْوا مَجَّیِتُمْ آرَبھَتَ۔
23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salem, because there was plenty of water there. And people were coming and being baptized;
تَدا شالَمْ نَگَرَسْیَ سَمِیپَسْتھایِنِ اَینَنْ گْرامے بَہُتَرَتویَسْتھِتیسْتَتْرَ یوہَنْ اَمَجَّیَتْ تَتھا چَ لوکا آگَتْیَ تینَ مَجِّتا اَبھَوَنْ۔
24 for John had not yet been thrown into prison.
تَدا یوہَنْ کارایاں نَ بَدّھَح۔
25 Then some of John's disciples had an argument with a Judean about purification.
اَپَرَنْچَ شاچَکَرْمَّنِ یوہانَح شِشْیَیح سَہَ یِہُودِییَلوکاناں وِوادے جاتے، تے یوہَنَح سَںنِّدھِں گَتْواکَتھَیَنْ،
26 So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the One who was with you across the Jordan, about whom you have testified—well, here He is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to Him!”
ہے گُرو یَرْدَّنَنَدْیاح پارے بھَوَتا سارْدّھَں یَ آسِیتْ یَسْمِںشْچَ بھَوانْ ساکْشْیَں پْرَدَداتْ پَشْیَتُ سوپِ مَجَّیَتِ سَرْوّے تَسْیَ سَمِیپَں یانْتِ چَ۔
27 John answered and said: “A person can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from Heaven.
تَدا یوہَنْ پْرَتْیَووچَدْ اِیشْوَرینَ نَ دَتّے کوپِ مَنُجَح کِمَپِ پْراپْتُں نَ شَکْنوتِ۔
28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent ahead of Him.’
اَہَں اَبھِشِکْتو نَ بھَوامِ کِنْتُ تَدَگْرے پْریشِتوسْمِ یامِماں کَتھاں کَتھِتَواناہَں تَتْرَ یُویَں سَرْوّے ساکْشِنَح سْتھَ۔
29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and hears him, has great joy at the bridegroom's voice. So this my joy has been fulfilled.
یو جَنَح کَنْیاں لَبھَتے سَ ایوَ وَرَح کِنْتُ وَرَسْیَ سَنِّدھَو دَنْڈایَمانَں تَسْیَ یَنْمِتْرَں تینَ وَرَسْیَ شَبْدے شْرُتےتِیواہْلادْیَتے مَماپِ تَدْوَدْ آنَنْدَسِدّھِرْجاتا۔
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
تینَ کْرَمَشو وَرْدّھِتَوْیَں کِنْتُ مَیا ہْسِتَوْیَں۔
31 “He who comes from Above is above all; he who is from the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all.
یَ اُورْدھْواداگَچّھَتْ سَ سَرْوّیشاں مُکھْیو یَشْچَ سَںسارادْ اُدَپَدْیَتَ سَ ساںسارِکَح سَںسارِییاں کَتھانْچَ کَتھَیَتِ یَسْتُ سْوَرْگاداگَچّھَتْ سَ سَرْوّیشاں مُکھْیَح۔
32 And to what He has seen and heard He testifies, yet no one receives His testimony.
سَ یَدَپَشْیَدَشرِنوچَّ تَسْمِنّیوَ ساکْشْیَں دَداتِ تَتھاپِ پْرایَشَح کَشْچِتْ تَسْیَ ساکْشْیَں نَ گرِہْلاتِ؛
33 The one who receives His testimony certifies that God is true.
کِنْتُ یو گرِہْلاتِ سَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ سَتْیَوادِتْوَں مُدْرانْگِتَں کَروتِ۔
34 For He whom God sent speaks God's words, because God does not give the Spirit by measure.
اِیشْوَرینَ یَح پْریرِتَح سَایوَ اِیشْوَرِییَکَتھاں کَتھَیَتِ یَتَ اِیشْوَرَ آتْمانَں تَسْمَے اَپَرِمِتَمْ اَدَداتْ۔
35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.
پِتا پُتْرے سْنیہَں کرِتْوا تَسْیَ ہَسْتے سَرْوّانِ سَمَرْپِتَوانْ۔
36 The one believing into the Son has eternal life, but the one disobeying the Son will not see the Life, but the wrath of God will remain upon him.” (aiōnios g166)
یَح کَشْچِتْ پُتْرے وِشْوَسِتِ سَ ایوانَنْتَمْ پَرَمایُح پْراپْنوتِ کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ پُتْرے نَ وِشْوَسِتِ سَ پَرَمایُشو دَرْشَنَں نَ پْراپْنوتِ کِنْتْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ کوپَبھاجَنَں بھُوتْوا تِشْٹھَتِ۔ (aiōnios g166)
