John 3
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
nikadimanAmA yihUdIyAnAm adhipatiH phirUzI kSaNadAyAM
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.
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 unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, 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 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?
tato nikadImaH pratyavocat manujo vRddho bhUtvA kathaM janiSyate? sa kiM puna rmAtRrjaTharaM pravizya janituM zaknoti?
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.
yIzuravAdId yathArthataram ahaM kathayAmi manuje toyAtmabhyAM puna rna jAte sa Izvarasya rAjyaM praveSTuM na zaknoti|
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
mAMsAd yat jAyate tan mAMsameva tathAtmano yo jAyate sa Atmaiva|
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
yuSmAbhiH puna rjanitavyaM mamaitasyAM kathAyAm AzcaryaM mA maMsthAH|
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.
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 unto him, How can these things be?
tadA nikadImaH pRSTavAn etat kathaM bhavituM zaknoti?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
yIzuH pratyaktavAn tvamisrAyelo gururbhUtvApi kimetAM kathAM na vetsi?
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.
tubhyaM yathArthaM kathayAmi, vayaM yad vidmastad vacmaH yaMcca pazyAmastasyaiva sAkSyaM dadmaH kintu yuSmAbhirasmAkaM sAkSitvaM na gRhyate|
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
etasya saMsArasya kathAyAM kathitAyAM yadi yUyaM na vizvasitha tarhi svargIyAyAM kathAyAM kathaM vizvasiSyatha?
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.
yaH svarge'sti yaM ca svargAd avArohat taM mAnavatanayaM vinA kopi svargaM nArohat|
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
aparaJca mUsA yathA prAntare sarpaM protthApitavAn manuSyaputro'pi tathaivotthApitavyaH;
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, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting 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 not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Izvaro jagato lokAn daNDayituM svaputraM na preSya tAn paritrAtuM preSitavAn|
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.
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 light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
jagato madhye jyotiH prAkAzata kintu manuSyANAM karmmaNAM dRSTatvAt te jyotiSopi timire prIyante etadeva daNDasya kAraNAM bhavati|
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
yaH kukarmma karoti tasyAcArasya dRSTatvAt sa jyotirRRtIyitvA tannikaTaM nAyAti;
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, 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 came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
tataH param yIzuH ziSyaiH sArddhaM yihUdIyadezaM gatvA tatra sthitvA majjayitum Arabhata|
23 And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
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 Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
aparaJca zAcakarmmaNi yohAnaH ziSyaiH saha yihUdIyalokAnAM vivAde jAte, te yohanaH saMnnidhiM gatvAkathayan,
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.
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, except it be given him from heaven.
tadA yohan pratyavocad IzvareNa na datte kopi manujaH kimapi prAptuM na zaknoti|
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
ahaM abhiSikto na bhavAmi kintu tadagre preSitosmi yAmimAM kathAM kathitavAnAhaM tatra yUyaM sarvve sAkSiNaH stha|
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.
yo janaH kanyAM labhate sa eva varaH kintu varasya sannidhau daNDAyamAnaM tasya yanmitraM tena varasya zabde zrute'tIvAhlAdyate mamApi tadvad AnandasiddhirjAtA|
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
tena kramazo varddhitavyaM kintu mayA hsitavyaM|
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.
ya UrdhvAdAgacchat sa sarvveSAM mukhyo yazca saMsArAd udapadyata sa sAMsArikaH saMsArIyAM kathAJca kathayati yastu svargAdAgacchat sa sarvveSAM mukhyaH|
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
sa yadapazyadazRNocca tasminneva sAkSyaM dadAti tathApi prAyazaH kazcit tasya sAkSyaM na gRhlAti;
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
kintu yo gRhlAti sa Izvarasya satyavAditvaM mudrAGgitaM karoti|
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
IzvareNa yaH preritaH saeva IzvarIyakathAM kathayati yata Izvara AtmAnaM tasmai aparimitam adadAt|
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
pitA putre snehaM kRtvA tasya haste sarvvANi samarpitavAn|
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)
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)
