John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
nikadimanāmā yihūdīyānām adhipatiḥ phirūśī kṣaṇadāyāṁ
2 This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no one can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.
yīśaurabhyarṇam āvrajya vyāhārṣīt, he guro bhavān īśvarād āgat eka upadeṣṭā, etad asmābhirjñāyate; yato bhavatā yānyāścaryyakarmmāṇi kriyante parameśvarasya sāhāyyaṁ vinā kenāpi tattatkarmmāṇi karttuṁ na śakyante|
3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly do I say to thee, Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
tadā yīśuruttaraṁ dattavān tavāhaṁ yathārthataraṁ vyāharāmi punarjanmani na sati kopi mānava īśvarasya rājyaṁ draṣṭuṁ na śaknoti|
4 Nicodemus saith to him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb a second time, and be born?
tato nikadīmaḥ pratyavocat manujo vṛddho bhūtvā kathaṁ janiṣyate? sa kiṁ puna rmātṛrjaṭharaṁ praviśya janituṁ śaknoti?
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly do I say to thee, Unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.
yīśuravādīd yathārthataram ahaṁ kathayāmi manuje toyātmabhyāṁ puna rna jāte sa īśvarasya rājyaṁ praveṣṭuṁ na śaknoti|
6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
māṁsād yat jāyate tan māṁsameva tathātmano yo jāyate sa ātmaiva|
7 Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again.
yuṣmābhiḥ puna rjanitavyaṁ mamaitasyāṁ kathāyām āścaryaṁ mā maṁsthāḥ|
8 The wind bloweth where it will; and thou hearest the sound thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
sadāgatiryāṁ diśamicchati tasyāmeva diśi vāti, tvaṁ tasya svanaṁ śuṇoṣi kintu sa kuta āyāti kutra yāti vā kimapi na jānāsi tadvād ātmanaḥ sakāśāt sarvveṣāṁ manujānāṁ janma bhavati|
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
tadā nikadīmaḥ pṛṣṭavān etat kathaṁ bhavituṁ śaknoti?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?
yīśuḥ pratyaktavān tvamisrāyelo gururbhūtvāpi kimetāṁ kathāṁ na vetsi?
11 Truly, truly do I say to thee, We speak that which we know, and testify that which we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony.
tubhyaṁ yathārthaṁ kathayāmi, vayaṁ yad vidmastad vacmaḥ yaṁcca paśyāmastasyaiva sākṣyaṁ dadmaḥ kintu yuṣmābhirasmākaṁ sākṣitvaṁ na gṛhyate|
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?
etasya saṁsārasya kathāyāṁ kathitāyāṁ yadi yūyaṁ na viśvasitha tarhi svargīyāyāṁ kathāyāṁ kathaṁ viśvasiṣyatha?
13 And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man.
yaḥ svarge'sti yaṁ ca svargād avārohat taṁ mānavatanayaṁ vinā kopi svargaṁ nārohat|
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up
aparañca mūsā yathā prāntare sarpaṁ protthāpitavān manuṣyaputro'pi tathaivotthāpitavyaḥ;
tasmād yaḥ kaścit tasmin viśvasiṣyati so'vināśyaḥ san anantāyuḥ prāpsyati| (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave the only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him may not perish, but may have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
īśvara itthaṁ jagadadayata yat svamadvitīyaṁ tanayaṁ prādadāt tato yaḥ kaścit tasmin viśvasiṣyati so'vināśyaḥ san anantāyuḥ prāpsyati| (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not the Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through him the world might be saved.
īśvaro jagato lokān daṇḍayituṁ svaputraṁ na preṣya tān paritrātuṁ preṣitavān|
18 He that believeth in him is not condemned; he that believeth not hath already been condemned, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
ataeva yaḥ kaścit tasmin viśvasiti sa daṇḍārho na bhavati kintu yaḥ kaścit tasmin na viśvasiti sa idānīmeva daṇḍārho bhavati, yataḥ sa īśvarasyādvitīyaputrasya nāmani pratyayaṁ na karoti|
19 And this is the condemnation, that the light hath come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil.
jagato madhye jyotiḥ prākāśata kintu manuṣyāṇāṁ karmmaṇāṁ dṛṣṭatvāt te jyotiṣopi timire prīyante etadeva daṇḍasya kāraṇāṁ bhavati|
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
yaḥ kukarmma karoti tasyācārasya dṛṣṭatvāt sa jyotirṝtīyitvā tannikaṭaṁ nāyāti;
21 But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
kintu yaḥ satkarmma karoti tasya sarvvāṇi karmmāṇīśvareṇa kṛtānīti sathā prakāśate tadabhiprāyeṇa sa jyotiṣaḥ sannidhim āyāti|
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea; and there he remained with them, and baptized.
tataḥ param yīśuḥ śiṣyaiḥ sārddhaṁ yihūdīyadeśaṁ gatvā tatra sthitvā majjayitum ārabhata|
23 And John also was baptizing in AEnon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized.
tadā śālam nagarasya samīpasthāyini ainan grāme bahutaratoyasthitestatra yohan amajjayat tathā ca lokā āgatya tena majjitā abhavan|
24 For John was not yet thrown into prison.
tadā yohan kārāyāṁ na baddhaḥ|
25 Then there arose a question on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purifying.
aparañca śācakarmmaṇi yohānaḥ śiṣyaiḥ saha yihūdīyalokānāṁ vivāde jāte, te yohanaḥ saṁnnidhiṁ gatvākathayan,
26 And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, he baptizeth, and all men are going to him.
he guro yarddananadyāḥ pāre bhavatā sārddhaṁ ya āsīt yasmiṁśca bhavān sākṣyaṁ pradadāt paśyatu sopi majjayati sarvve tasya samīpaṁ yānti ca|
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it be given him from heaven.
tadā yohan pratyavocad īśvareṇa na datte kopi manujaḥ kimapi prāptuṁ na śaknoti|
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before that man.
ahaṁ abhiṣikto na bhavāmi kintu tadagre preṣitosmi yāmimāṁ kathāṁ kathitavānāhaṁ tatra yūyaṁ sarvve sākṣiṇaḥ stha|
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. This my joy then hath become full.
yo janaḥ kanyāṁ labhate sa eva varaḥ kintu varasya sannidhau daṇḍāyamānaṁ tasya yanmitraṁ tena varasya śabde śrute'tīvāhlādyate mamāpi tadvad ānandasiddhirjātā|
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
tena kramaśo varddhitavyaṁ kintu mayā hsitavyaṁ|
31 He that cometh from above is above all. He that is from the earth is earthly, and speaketh earthly things; he that cometh from heaven
ya ūrdhvādāgacchat sa sarvveṣāṁ mukhyo yaśca saṁsārād udapadyata sa sāṁsārikaḥ saṁsārīyāṁ kathāñca kathayati yastu svargādāgacchat sa sarvveṣāṁ mukhyaḥ|
32 testifieth what he hath seen and heard; and no one receiveth his testimony.
sa yadapaśyadaśṛṇocca tasminneva sākṣyaṁ dadāti tathāpi prāyaśaḥ kaścit tasya sākṣyaṁ na gṛhlāti;
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set his seal that God is true.
kintu yo gṛhlāti sa īśvarasya satyavāditvaṁ mudrāṅgitaṁ karoti|
34 For he whom God sent speaketh the words of God; for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
īśvareṇa yaḥ preritaḥ saeva īśvarīyakathāṁ kathayati yata īśvara ātmānaṁ tasmai aparimitam adadāt|
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
pitā putre snehaṁ kṛtvā tasya haste sarvvāṇi samarpitavān|
36 He that believeth in the Son hath everlasting life; and he that disobeyeth the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
yaḥ kaścit putre viśvasiti sa evānantam paramāyuḥ prāpnoti kintu yaḥ kaścit putre na viśvasiti sa paramāyuṣo darśanaṁ na prāpnoti kintvīśvarasya kopabhājanaṁ bhūtvā tiṣṭhati| (aiōnios g166)
