John 3
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
Un tur viens cilvēks bija no tiem farizejiem, vārdā Nikademus, Jūdu virsnieks.
2 He came to Jesus by 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.”
Tas nāca pie Jēzus naktī un uz Viņu sacīja: “Rabbi, mēs zinām, ka Tu esi Mācītājs, no Dieva nācis; jo neviens nevar darīt tās brīnuma zīmes, ko Tu dari, ja Dievs nav ar to.”
3 Jesus answered him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”
Jēzus atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Patiesi, Es tev saku, ja kas nav piedzimis no augšienes, tad tas Debesu valstību nevar redzēt.”
4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
Nikademus uz Viņu saka: “Kā cilvēks var piedzimt, vecs būdams? Vai viņš atkal var ieiet savas mātes miesās un piedzimt?”
5 Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.
Un Jēzus atbildēja: “Patiesi, patiesi, Es tev saku: ja kas nepiedzimst caur ūdeni un Garu, tad tas nevar ieiet Dieva valstībā.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Kas piedzimis no miesas, tas ir miesa, un kas piedzimis no Gara, tas ir gars.
7 Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’
Nebrīnies, ka Es tev esmu sacījis: Jums būs piedzimt no augšienes.
8 The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Vējš pūš, kur gribēdams, un tu gan dzirdi viņa pūšanu, bet tu nezini, no kurienes viņš nāk un kurp viņš iet. Tā ir ar ikvienu, kas piedzimis no Gara.”
9 Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”
Nikademus atbildēja un uz Viņu sacīja: “Kā tas var notikt?”
10 Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?
Jēzus atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Tu esi mācītājs iekš Israēla un to tu nezini?
11 Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.
Patiesi, patiesi, Es tev saku. Mēs runājam, ko zinām, un liecinājām, ko esam redzējuši, un jūs mūsu liecību nepieņemat.
12 If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
Ja jūs neticat, kad Es jums saku par zemes lietām; kā jūs tad ticēsiet, kad Es jums sacīšu par debesu lietām?
13 No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
Jo neviens nav braucis uz debesīm kā vien Tas, kas ir nācis no debesīm, Tas Cilvēka Dēls, kas ir debesīs.
14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
Un kā Mozus tuksnesī čūsku ir paaugstinājis, tāpat Tam Cilvēka Dēlam būs tapt paaugstinātam,
Lai ikviens, kas tic uz Viņu, dabū mūžīgu dzīvošanu. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Jo tik ļoti Dievs pasauli mīlējis, ka Viņš Savu vienpiedzimušo Dēlu devis, ka visiem tiem, kas tic uz Viņu, nebūs pazust, bet dabūt mūžīgu dzīvošanu. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
Jo Dievs Savu Dēlu nav sūtījis pasaulē, ka Tas pasauli sodītu, bet ka pasaule caur Viņu taptu pestīta.
18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
Kas tic uz Viņu, tas netop sodīts, bet kas netic, tas jau ir sodīts, tāpēc ka tas nav ticējis uz tā vienpiedzimušā Dieva Dēla Vārdu.
19 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.
Bet šī ir tā sodība, ka gaišums nācis pasaulē un cilvēki vairāk mīlēja tumsību nekā gaišumu, tāpēc ka viņu darbi bija ļauni.
20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
Jo ikviens, kas dara ļaunu, tas ienīst gaismu un nenāk priekš gaismas, lai viņa darbi netop norāti.
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
Bet kas dara patiesību, tas nāk priekš gaismas, lai viņa darbus var redzēt, jo tie darīti iekš Dieva.”
22 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptized.
Pēc tam Jēzus un Viņa mācekļi nāca uz Jūdu zemi, un Viņš tur ar tiem palika un kristīja.
23 John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were baptized;
Un Jānis arīdzan kristīja Enonā, tuvu pie Zalimes, jo tur bija daudz ūdens. Un tie (ļaudis) nogāja un tapa kristīti.
24 for John was not yet thrown into prison.
Jo Jānis vēl nebija likts cietumā.
25 Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification.
Tad viena apjautāšanās cēlās starp Jāņa mācekļiem un tiem Jūdiem par šķīstīšanu.
26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”
Un tie nāca pie Jāņa un uz to sacīja: “Rabbi, Tas, kas bija pie tevis viņpus Jardānes, kam tu liecību devi, redzi, Tas kristī, un visi nāk pie Viņa.”
27 John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.
Jānis atbildēja un sacīja: “Cilvēks nekā nevar ņemties, ja tas viņam nav dots no debesīm.
28 You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’
Jūs paši esat mani liecinieki, ka es esmu sacījis: Es neesmu Tas Kristus, bet sūtīts Viņa priekšā.
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. Therefore my joy is made full.
Kam tā brūte, tas ir brūtgāns, bet tā brūtgāna draugs, kas stāv un viņu dzird, priecājās ļoti par tā brūtgāna balsi. Tad nu šis mans prieks ir piepildīts.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Viņam būs iet lielumā, bet man mazumā.
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.
Kas nāk no augšienes, tas ir pār visiem; kas ir no zemes, tas ir no zemes: kas nāk no debesīm, tas ir pār visiem.
32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
Un ko Tas ir redzējis un dzirdējis, to Tas apliecina; un Viņa liecību neviens nepieņem.
33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
Kas Viņa liecību pieņēmis, tas ir apzieģelējis, Dievu esam patiesīgu.
34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.
Jo ko Dievs ir sūtījis, tas runā Dieva vārdus, jo Dievs nedod To Garu ar mēru.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
Tas Tēvs mīļo To Dēlu un visas lietas ir devis Viņa rokā.
