John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
Erat autem homo ex Pharisaeis, Nicodemus nomine, princeps Iudaeorum.
2 this one came to Him by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we have known that You have come from God—a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that You do, if God may not be with him.”
Hic venit ad Iesum nocte, et dixit ei: Rabbi, scimus quia a Deo venisti magister, nemo enim potest haec signa facere, quae tu facis, nisi fuerit Deus cum eo.
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God”;
Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit denuo, non potest videre regnum Dei.
4 Nicodemus says to Him, “How is a man able to be born, being old? Is he able to enter into the womb of his mother a second time, and to be born?”
Dicit ad eum Nicodemus: Quomodo potest homo nasci, cum sit senex? numquid potest in ventrem matris suae iterato introire, et renasci?
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of God;
Respondit Iesus: Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit ex aqua, et Spiritu sancto, non potest introire in regnum Dei.
6 that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
Quod natum est ex carne, caro est: et quod natum est ex spiritu, spiritus est.
7 You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
Non mireris quia dixi tibi: oportet vos nasci denuo.
8 the Spirit blows where [that] One wills, and you hear [that] One’s voice, but you have not known from where [that] One comes, and to where [that] One goes; thus is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
Spiritus ubi vult spirat: et vocem eius audis, sed nescis unde veniat, aut quo vadat: sic est omnis, qui natus est ex spiritu.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
Respondit Nicodemus, et dixit ei: Quomodo possunt haec fieri?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?
Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Tu es magister in Israel, et haec ignoras?
11 Truly, truly, I say to you, what We have known We speak, and what We have seen We testify, and you do not receive Our testimony;
Amen, amen dico tibi, quia quod scimus loquimur, et quod vidimus testamur, et testimonium nostrum non accipitis.
12 if I spoke to you of the earthly things, and you do not believe, how, if I will speak to you of the heavenly things, will you believe?
Si terrena dixi vobis, et non creditis: quomodo, si dixero vobis caelestia, credetis?
13 And no one has gone up to Heaven, except He who came down out of Heaven—the Son of Man who is in Heaven.
Et nemo ascendit in caelum, nisi qui descendit de caelo, Filius hominis, qui est in caelo.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up,
Et sicut Moyses exaltavit serpentem in deserto; ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis:
15 that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life, (aiōnios g166)
ut omnis, qui credit in ipsum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam aeternam. (aiōnios g166)
16 for God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life. (aiōnios g166)
Sic enim Deus dilexit mundum, ut Filium suum unigenitum daret: ut omnis, qui credit in eum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam aeternam. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God did not send His Son into the world that He may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through Him;
Non enim misit Deus Filium suum in mundum, ut iudicet mundum, sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum.
18 he who is believing in Him is not judged, but he who is not believing has been judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.
Qui credit in eum, non iudicatur: qui autem non credit, iam iudicatus est: quia non credit in nomine unigeniti Filii Dei.
19 And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;
Hoc est autem iudicium: quia lux venit in mundum, et dilexerunt homines magis tenebras, quam lucem: erant enim eorum mala opera.
20 for everyone who is doing wicked things hates the light, and does not come into the light, that his works may not be detected;
Omnis enim, qui male agit, odit lucem, et non venit ad lucem, ut non arguantur opera eius:
21 but he who is doing the truth comes into the light, that his works may be revealed, that in God they are having been worked.”
qui autem facit veritatem, venit ad lucem, ut manifestentur opera eius, quia in Deo sunt facta.
22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
Post haec venit Iesus, et discipuli eius in terram Iudaeam: et illic demorabatur cum eis, et baptizabat.
23 and John was also immersing in Aenon, near to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being immersed—
Erat autem et Ioannes baptizans in Aennon, iuxta Salim: quia aquae multae erant illic, et veniebant, et baptizabantur.
24 for John was not yet cast into the prison—
Nondum enim missus fuerat Ioannes in carcerem.
25 there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
Facta est autem quaestio ex discipulis Ioannis cum Iudaeis de Purificatione.
26 and they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you testified, behold, this One is immersing, and all are coming to Him.”
Et venerunt ad Ioannem, et dixerunt ei: Rabbi, qui erat tecum trans Iordanem, cui tu testimonium perhibuisti, ecce hic baptizat, et omnes veniunt ad eum.
27 John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given him from Heaven;
Respondit Ioannes, et dixit: Non potest homo accipere quidquam, nisi fuerit ei datum de caelo.
28 you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been sent before Him;
Ipsi vos mihi testimonium perhibetis, quod dixerim: Non sum ego Christus: sed quia missus sum ante illum.
29 He who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing Him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy has been fulfilled.
Qui habet sponsam, sponsus est: amicus autem sponsi, qui stat, et audit eum, gaudio gaudet propter vocem sponsi. Hoc ergo gaudium meum impletum est.
30 It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
Illum oportet crescere, me autem minui.
31 He who is coming from above is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaks; He who is coming from Heaven is above all.
Qui desursum venit, super omnes est. Qui est de terra, de terra est, et de terra loquitur. Qui de caelo venit, super omnes est.
32 And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;
Et quod vidit, et audivit, hoc testatur: et testimonium eius nemo accipit.
33 he who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;
Qui autem accepit eius testimonium, signavit quia Deus verax est.
34 for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure;
Quem enim misit Deus, verba Dei loquitur: non enim ad mensuram dat Deus spiritum.
35 the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand;
Pater diligit Filium: et omnia dedit in manu eius.
36 he who is believing in the Son has continuous life; and he who is not believing the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (aiōnios g166)
Qui credit in Filium, habet vitam aeternam: qui autem incredulus est Filio, non videbit vitam, sed ira Dei manet super eum. (aiōnios g166)
