< John 3 >

1 THERE was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
But there was one of the Pharishee whose name was Nikodimos, a ruler of the Jihudoyee:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
this came to Jeshu in the night, and said to him, Rabi, we know that from Aloha thou art sent a teacher; for no man can these signs perform which thou doest, unless Aloha be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of Aloha.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Nikodimos said to him, How can an old man be born? Who can again the womb of his mother the second time enter, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, That if a man be not born of waters and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Aloha.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Whatever is born of the flesh, is flesh; and whatever is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Wonder not that I have said to thee, that it behoves you to be born anew.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
The wind bloweth where she willeth, and her voice thou hearest; but thou knowest not whence she cometh, nor whither she goeth: so is every man who is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Nikodimos answered and said to him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
Jeshu answered and said to him, Art thou Malphona of Israel, and these knowest not?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
Amen, amen, I say to thee, What we know we speak, and what we have seen we testify; but our testimony you receive not.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
If of (what is) on earth I tell you, and you believe not, how if I tell you of (what is) in heaven, could you believe me?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
AND no man hath ascended into heaven, but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man, he who is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
And as Musha elevated the serpent in the wilderness, so is to be elevated the Son of man,
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
that every man who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
For Aloha sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might live by him.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
He who believeth on him is not judged, and he who believeth not is judged already, because he believeth not in the name of the only-begotten Son of Aloha.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
And this is the judgment, that the light hath come into the world, and the sons of men have loved darkness rather than the light, for their deeds have been evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
For every one who doeth abominable things hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
But he who doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be known that in Aloha they are wrought.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
AFTER these came Jeshu and his disciples into the land of Jihuda, and there conversed with them and baptized.
23 And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
But Juchanon also was baptizing in Ein-yon, near Sholim, because the waters were there many; and they came and were baptized;
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
for not yet was Juchanon cast into the house of the bound.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
But there was a question with some of the disciples of Juchanon (and) a certain Jihudoya, upon purification.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
And they came to Juchanon, and said to him, Raban, he who was with thee at the passage of Jurdan, (and) concerning whom thou didst give witness, he also baptizeth, and many come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
Juchanon answered and said to them, A man cannot receive of his own will any thing, unless it be given to him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
You bear me witness that I said, I am not the Meshicha, but I am an apostle before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and attendeth him, with great joy rejoiceth on account of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy therefore, behold, is complete.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
To him it must be to increase, and to me to decrease.
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
For he who from above hath come, is above all; and he who is from the earth, is of the earth, and of the earth speaketh: he who from heaven hath come, is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
And what he hath seen and heard he testifieth, and his testimony no man receiveth.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
But he who hath received his testimony, hath sealed that the true Aloha is he.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
For he whom Aloha hath sent, the very words of Aloha speaketh; for it was not in measure that Aloha gave the Spirit.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
The Father loveth the Son, and every thing hath he given into his hands.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
He who believeth in the Son hath the life which is eternal; and he who obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Aloha remaineth on him. (aiōnios g166)
