John 3
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewish people.
nikadimanAmA yihUdIyAnAm adhipatiH phirUzI kSaNadAyAM
2 This man came to him at night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."
yIzaurabhyarNam Avrajya vyAhArSIt, hE gurO bhavAn IzvarAd Agat Eka upadESTA, Etad asmAbhirjnjAyatE; yatO bhavatA yAnyAzcaryyakarmmANi kriyantE paramEzvarasya sAhAyyaM vinA kEnApi tattatkarmmANi karttuM na zakyantE|
3 Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is 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 said to him, "How can anyone be born when he is old? Can he enter a 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, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born of water and 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. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
mAMsAd yat jAyatE tan mAMsamEva tathAtmanO yO jAyatE sa Atmaiva|
7 Do not be surprised that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
yuSmAbhiH puna rjanitavyaM mamaitasyAM kathAyAm AzcaryaM mA maMsthAH|
8 The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who 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 to him, "How can these things be?"
tadA nikadImaH pRSTavAn Etat kathaM bhavituM zaknOti?
10 Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
yIzuH pratyaktavAn tvamisrAyElO gururbhUtvApi kimEtAM kathAM na vEtsi?
11 Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, but you do not accept our testimony.
tubhyaM yathArthaM kathayAmi, vayaM yad vidmastad vacmaH yaMcca pazyAmastasyaiva sAkSyaM dadmaH kintu yuSmAbhirasmAkaM sAkSitvaM na gRhyatE|
12 If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
Etasya saMsArasya kathAyAM kathitAyAM yadi yUyaM na vizvasitha tarhi svargIyAyAM kathAyAM kathaM vizvasiSyatha?
13 And no one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who 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,
aparanjca mUsA yathA prAntarE sarpaM prOtthApitavAn manuSyaputrO'pi tathaivOtthApitavyaH;
tasmAd yaH kazcit tasmin vizvasiSyati sO'vinAzyaH san anantAyuH prApsyati| (aiōnios g166)
16 For this is how God loved the world: he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have life without end. (aiōnios g166)
Izvara itthaM jagadadayata yat svamadvitIyaM tanayaM prAdadAt tatO yaH kazcit tasmin vizvasiSyati sO'vinAzyaH san anantAyuH prApsyati| (aiōnios g166)
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
IzvarO jagatO lOkAn daNPayituM svaputraM na prESya tAn paritrAtuM prESitavAn|
18 The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
ataEva yaH kazcit tasmin vizvasiti sa daNPArhO na bhavati kintu yaH kazcit tasmin na vizvasiti sa idAnImEva daNPArhO bhavati, yataH sa IzvarasyAdvitIyaputrasya nAmani pratyayaM na karOti|
19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their works were evil.
jagatO madhyE jyOtiH prAkAzata kintu manuSyANAM karmmaNAM dRSTatvAt tE jyOtiSOpi timirE prIyantE EtadEva daNPasya kAraNAM bhavati|
20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works will not be exposed.
yaH kukarmma karOti tasyAcArasya dRSTatvAt sa jyOtirRRtIyitvA tannikaTaM nAyAti;
21 But the one who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
kintu yaH satkarmma karOti tasya sarvvANi karmmANIzvarENa kRtAnIti sathA prakAzatE tadabhiprAyENa sa jyOtiSaH sannidhim AyAti|
22 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them, and was baptizing.
tataH param yIzuH ziSyaiH sArddhaM yihUdIyadEzaM gatvA tatra sthitvA majjayitum Arabhata|
23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. 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 thrown into prison.
tadA yOhan kArAyAM na baddhaH|
25 Now a dispute arose between John's disciples with a Jew about purification.
aparanjca zAcakarmmaNi yOhAnaH ziSyaiH saha yihUdIyalOkAnAM vivAdE jAtE, tE yOhanaH saMnnidhiM gatvAkathayan,
26 And they came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, look, he is baptizing, and everyone is coming 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, "No one can receive anything, unless it has been given to him from heaven.
tadA yOhan pratyavOcad IzvarENa na dattE kOpi manujaH kimapi prAptuM na zaknOti|
28 You yourselves bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent before him.'
ahaM abhiSiktO na bhavAmi kintu tadagrE prESitOsmi yAmimAM kathAM kathitavAnAhaM tatra yUyaM sarvvE sAkSiNaH stha|
29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine is now complete.
yO janaH kanyAM labhatE sa Eva varaH kintu varasya sannidhau daNPAyamAnaM 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 who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
ya UrdhvAdAgacchat sa sarvvESAM mukhyO yazca saMsArAd udapadyata sa sAMsArikaH saMsArIyAM kathAnjca kathayati yastu svargAdAgacchat sa sarvvESAM mukhyaH|
32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
sa yadapazyadazRNOcca tasminnEva sAkSyaM dadAti tathApi prAyazaH kazcit tasya sAkSyaM na gRhlAti;
33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
kintu yO gRhlAti sa Izvarasya satyavAditvaM mudrAggitaM karOti|
34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for he does not give the Spirit by measure.
IzvarENa yaH prEritaH saEva IzvarIyakathAM kathayati yata Izvara AtmAnaM tasmai aparimitam adadAt|
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
pitA putrE snEhaM kRtvA tasya hastE sarvvANi samarpitavAn|
36 Whoever believes in the Son has everlasting life, but whoever refuses to believe in the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains 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)
