John 3
1 And there was a man of the Farisees, Nychodeme bi name, a prince of the Jewis.
There was however, a man from among the Pharisees, Nicodemus, his name, —ruler of the Jews.
2 And he cam to Jhesu bi niyt, and seide to hym, Rabi, we witen, that thou art comun fro God maister; for no man may do these signes, that thou doist, but God be with hym.
The same, came unto him, by night, and said unto him—Rabbi! we know that, from God, thou hast come, a teacher; for, no one, can be doing, these signs, which, thou, art doing, except, God, be with him.
3 Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun ayen, he may not se the kyngdom of God.
Jesus answered, and said unto him—Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nychodeme seide to hym, Hou may a man be borun, whanne he is eeld? whether he may entre ayen in to his modris wombe, and be borun ayen?
Nicodemus saith unto him—How, can a man be born, when he is, old? Can he, into the womb of his mother, a second time, enter, and be born?
5 Jhesus answeride, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun ayen of watir, and of the Hooli Goost, he may not entre in to the kyngdom of God.
Jesus answered—Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born of water and spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 `That that is borun of the fleisch, is fleisch; and `that that is borun of spirit, is spirit.
That which hath been born of the flesh, is, flesh, and, that which hath been born of the spirit, is, spirit.
7 Wondre thou not, for Y seide to thee, It bihoueth you to be borun ayen.
Do not marvel, that I said unto thee: Ye must needs be born from above.
8 The spirit brethith where he wole, and thou herist his vois, but thou wost not, fro whennus he cometh, ne whidir he goith; so is ech man that is borun of the spirit.
The spirit, where it pleaseth, doth breathe, and, the sound thereof, thou hearest; but knowest not, whence it cometh and whither it goeth: Thus, is every one who hath been born of the spirit.
9 Nychodeme answeride, and seide to hym, Hou moun these thingis be don?
Nicodemus answered, and said unto him—How, can these things, come about?
10 Jhesus answeride, and seide to hym, Thou art a maister in Israel, and knowist not these thingis?
Jesus answered, and said unto him—Art, thou, the teacher of Israel, and, these things, knowest not?
11 Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, for we speken that that we witen, and we witnessen that that we han seyn, and ye taken not oure witnessyng.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee: What we know, we speak, and, of what we have seen, we bear witness, and, our witness, ye receive not.
12 If Y haue seid to you ertheli thingis, and ye bileuen not, hou if Y seie to you heueneli thingis, schulen ye bileue?
If, the earthly things, I told you, and ye believe not, How, if I should tell you the heavenly things, will ye believe?
13 And no man stieth in to heuene, but he that cam doun fro heuene, mannys sone that is in heuene.
And, no one, hath ascended into heaven, save he that, out of heaven, descended, —The Son of Man.
14 And as Moises areride a serpent in desert, so it bihoueth mannys sone to be reisid,
And, just as, Moses, lifted up the serpent in the desert, so, must, the Son of Man, be lifted up, —
That, whosoever believeth in him, may have life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God louede so the world, that he yaf his `oon bigetun sone, that ech man that bileueth in him perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf. (aiōnios g166)
For God, so loved, the world, that, his Only Begotten Son, he gave, —that, whosoever believeth on him, might not perish, but have life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sente not his sone in to the world, that he iuge the world, but that the world be saued bi him.
For God, sent not, his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but, that the world might be saved through him.
18 He that bileueth in hym, is not demed; but he that bileueth not, is now demed, for he bileueth not in the name of the `oon bigetun sone of God.
He that believeth on him, is not to be judged: he that believeth not, already, hath been judged, —because he hath not believed on the name of the Only Begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the dom, for liyt cam in to the world, and men loueden more derknessis than liyt; for her werkes weren yuele.
And, this, is the judgment: That, the light, hath come into the world, —and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works.
20 For ech man that doith yuele, hatith the liyt; and he cometh not to the liyt, that hise werkis be not repreued.
For, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, lest his works should be reproved;
21 But he that doith treuthe, cometh to the liyt, that hise werkis be schewid, that thei ben don in God.
But, he that doeth the truth, cometh unto the light, that his works may be, made manifest, that, in God, have they been wrought.
22 Aftir these thingis Jhesus cam, and hise disciplis, in to the loond of Judee, and there he dwellide with hem, and baptiside.
After these things, came Jesus, and his disciples, into the Judaean land; and, there, was he tarrying with them, and immersing.
23 And Joon was baptisinge in Ennon, bisidis Salym, for many watris weren there; and thei camen, and weren baptisid.
And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; —
24 And Joon was not yit sent in to prisoun.
for, not yet, had John been cast into prison.
25 Therfor a questioun was maad of Jonys disciplis with the Jewis, of the purificacioun.
There arose, therefore, a questioning, from among the disciples of John, with a Jew, —concerning purification.
26 And thei camen to Joon, and seiden `to hym, Maister, he that was with thee biyonde Jordan, to whom thou hast borun witnessyng, lo! he baptisith, and alle men comen to hym.
And they came unto John, and said unto him—Rabbi! he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, unto whom, thou, hast borne witness, see! the same, is immersing; and, all, are coming unto him.
27 Joon answerde, and seide, A man may not take ony thing, but it be youun to hym fro heuene.
John answered, and said—A man can receive, nothing, except it have been given him out of heaven.
28 Ye you silf beren witnessyng to me, that Y seide, Y am not Crist, but that Y am sent bifore hym.
Ye yourselves, unto me, bear witness, that, I, said—I, am not the Christ; but—I am sent before, That One.
29 He that hath a wijf, is the hosebonde; but the freend of the spouse that stondith, and herith hym, ioieth with ioye, for the vois of the spouse. Therfor in this thing my ioye is fulfillid.
He that hath the bride, is, bridegroom; but, the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth by and hearkeneth unto him, greatly, rejoiceth, by reason of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, therefore, is fulfilled.
30 It bihoueth hym to wexe, but me to be maad lesse.
That One, it behoveth to increase, —but, me, to decrease.
31 He that cam from aboue, is aboue alle; he that is of the erthe, spekith of the erthe; he that cometh from heuene, is aboue alle.
He that, from above, doth come, over all, is: he that is of the earth, of the earth, is, and, of the earth, doth speak: he that, out of heaven, doth come, over all, is,
32 And he witnessith that thing that he hath seie, and herde, and no man takith his witnessing.
What he hath seen and heard, of, the same, he beareth witness, —and, his witness, no one, receiveth: —
33 But he that takith his witnessyng, hath confermyd that God is sothefast.
He that hath received his witness, hath set seal—that, God, is, true.
34 But he whom God hath sent, spekith the wordis of God; for not to mesure God yyueth the spirit.
For, he whom God hath sent, the sayings of God, doth speak; for, not by measure, giveth he the Spirit.
35 The fadir loueth the sone, and he hath youun alle thingis in his hoond.
The Father, loveth the Son, and, all things, hath given into his hand.
36 He that bileueth in the sone, hath euerlastynge lijf; but he that is vnbileueful to the sone, schal not se euerlastynge lijf, but the wraththe of God dwellith on hym. (aiōnios g166)
He that believeth on the Son, hath life age-abiding: whereas, he that yieldeth not unto the Son, shall not see life, —but, the anger of God, awaiteth him. (aiōnios g166)
