< John 3 >

1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewish people.
But there was one of the Pharishee whose name was Nikodimos, a ruler of the Jihudoyee:
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."
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 him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is 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 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?"
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, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born of water and 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. 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 Do not be surprised that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
Wonder not that I have said to thee, that it behoves you to be born anew.
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."
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 to him, "How can these things be?"
Nikodimos answered and said to him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
Jeshu answered and said to him, Art thou Malphona of Israel, and these knowest not?
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.
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 told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you 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 one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who 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 so that everyone who believes in him may have life without end. (aiōnios g166)
that every man who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. (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)
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 did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
For Aloha sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might live by him.
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.
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 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.
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 everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works will not be exposed.
For every one who doeth abominable things hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
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."
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, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them, and was baptizing.
AFTER these came Jeshu and his disciples into the land of Jihuda, and there conversed with them and baptized.
23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. 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 thrown into prison.
for not yet was Juchanon cast into the house of the bound.
25 Now a dispute arose between John's disciples with a Jew about purification.
But there was a question with some of the disciples of Juchanon (and) a certain Jihudoya, upon purification.
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."
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, "No one can receive anything, unless it has been given to 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 You yourselves bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent before him.'
You bear me witness that I said, I am not the Meshicha, but I am an apostle before him.
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.
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 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.
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 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
And what he hath seen and heard he testifieth, and his testimony no man receiveth.
33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
But he who hath received his testimony, hath sealed that the true Aloha is he.
34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for he does not give the Spirit by measure.
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 loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
The Father loveth the Son, and every thing hath he given into his hands.
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)
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)
