Κατα Ιωαννην 3
1 ην δε ανθρωποσ εκ των φαρισαιων νικοδημοσ ονομα αυτω αρχων των ιουδαιων
There was however, a man from among the Pharisees, Nicodemus, his name, —ruler of the Jews.
2 ουτοσ ηλθεν προσ αυτον νυκτοσ και ειπεν αυτω ραββι οιδαμεν οτι απο θεου εληλυθασ διδασκαλοσ ουδεισ γαρ ταυτα τα σημεια δυναται ποιειν α συ ποιεισ εαν μη η ο θεοσ μετ αυτου
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 απεκριθη ο ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τισ γεννηθη ανωθεν ου δυναται ιδειν την βασιλειαν του θεου
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 λεγει προσ αυτον ο νικοδημοσ πωσ δυναται ανθρωποσ γεννηθηναι γερων ων μη δυναται εισ την κοιλιαν τησ μητροσ αυτου δευτερον εισελθειν και γεννηθηναι
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 απεκριθη ιησουσ αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τισ γεννηθη εξ υδατοσ και πνευματοσ ου δυναται εισελθειν εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου
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 το γεγεννημενον εκ τησ σαρκοσ σαρξ εστιν και το γεγεννημενον εκ του πνευματοσ πνευμα εστιν
That which hath been born of the flesh, is, flesh, and, that which hath been born of the spirit, is, spirit.
7 μη θαυμασησ οτι ειπον σοι δει υμασ γεννηθηναι ανωθεν
Do not marvel, that I said unto thee: Ye must needs be born from above.
8 το πνευμα οπου θελει πνει και την φωνην αυτου ακουεισ αλλ ουκ οιδασ ποθεν ερχεται και που υπαγει ουτωσ εστιν πασ ο γεγεννημενοσ εκ του πνευματοσ
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 απεκριθη νικοδημοσ και ειπεν αυτω πωσ δυναται ταυτα γενεσθαι
Nicodemus answered, and said unto him—How, can these things, come about?
10 απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω συ ει ο διδασκαλοσ του ισραηλ και ταυτα ου γινωσκεισ
Jesus answered, and said unto him—Art, thou, the teacher of Israel, and, these things, knowest not?
11 αμην αμην λεγω σοι οτι ο οιδαμεν λαλουμεν και ο εωρακαμεν μαρτυρουμεν και την μαρτυριαν ημων ου λαμβανετε
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 ει τα επιγεια ειπον υμιν και ου πιστευετε πωσ εαν ειπω υμιν τα επουρανια πιστευσετε
If, the earthly things, I told you, and ye believe not, How, if I should tell you the heavenly things, will ye believe?
13 και ουδεισ αναβεβηκεν εισ τον ουρανον ει μη ο εκ του ουρανου καταβασ ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ο ων εν τω ουρανω
And, no one, hath ascended into heaven, save he that, out of heaven, descended, —The Son of Man.
14 και καθωσ μωσησ υψωσεν τον οφιν εν τη ερημω ουτωσ υψωθηναι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου
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 ουτωσ γαρ ηγαπησεν ο θεοσ τον κοσμον ωστε τον υιον αυτου τον μονογενη εδωκεν ινα πασ ο πιστευων εισ αυτον μη αποληται αλλ εχη ζωην αιωνιον (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 ου γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεοσ τον υιον αυτου εισ τον κοσμον ινα κρινη τον κοσμον αλλ ινα σωθη ο κοσμοσ δι αυτου
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 ο πιστευων εισ αυτον ου κρινεται ο δε μη πιστευων ηδη κεκριται οτι μη πεπιστευκεν εισ το ονομα του μονογενουσ υιου του θεου
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 αυτη δε εστιν η κρισισ οτι το φωσ εληλυθεν εισ τον κοσμον και ηγαπησαν οι ανθρωποι μαλλον το σκοτοσ η το φωσ ην γαρ πονηρα αυτων τα εργα
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 πασ γαρ ο φαυλα πρασσων μισει το φωσ και ουκ ερχεται προσ το φωσ ινα μη ελεγχθη τα εργα αυτου
For, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, lest his works should be reproved;
21 ο δε ποιων την αληθειαν ερχεται προσ το φωσ ινα φανερωθη αυτου τα εργα οτι εν θεω εστιν ειργασμενα
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 μετα ταυτα ηλθεν ο ιησουσ και οι μαθηται αυτου εισ την ιουδαιαν γην και εκει διετριβεν μετ αυτων και εβαπτιζεν
After these things, came Jesus, and his disciples, into the Judaean land; and, there, was he tarrying with them, and immersing.
23 ην δε και ιωαννησ βαπτιζων εν αινων εγγυσ του σαλημ οτι υδατα πολλα ην εκει και παρεγινοντο και εβαπτιζοντο
And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; —
24 ουπω γαρ ην βεβλημενοσ εισ την φυλακην ο ιωαννησ
for, not yet, had John been cast into prison.
25 εγενετο ουν ζητησισ εκ των μαθητων ιωαννου μετα ιουδαιου περι καθαρισμου
There arose, therefore, a questioning, from among the disciples of John, with a Jew, —concerning purification.
26 και ηλθον προσ τον ιωαννην και ειπον αυτω ραββι οσ ην μετα σου περαν του ιορδανου ω συ μεμαρτυρηκασ ιδε ουτοσ βαπτιζει και παντεσ ερχονται προσ αυτον
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 απεκριθη ιωαννησ και ειπεν ου δυναται ανθρωποσ λαμβανειν ουδεν εαν μη η δεδομενον αυτω εκ του ουρανου
John answered, and said—A man can receive, nothing, except it have been given him out of heaven.
28 αυτοι υμεισ μαρτυρειτε οτι ειπον ουκ ειμι εγω ο χριστοσ αλλ οτι απεσταλμενοσ ειμι εμπροσθεν εκεινου
Ye yourselves, unto me, bear witness, that, I, said—I, am not the Christ; but—I am sent before, That One.
29 ο εχων την νυμφην νυμφιοσ εστιν ο δε φιλοσ του νυμφιου ο εστηκωσ και ακουων αυτου χαρα χαιρει δια την φωνην του νυμφιου αυτη ουν η χαρα η εμη πεπληρωται
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 εκεινον δει αυξανειν εμε δε ελαττουσθαι
That One, it behoveth to increase, —but, me, to decrease.
31 ο ανωθεν ερχομενοσ επανω παντων εστιν ο ων εκ τησ γησ εκ τησ γησ εστιν και εκ τησ γησ λαλει ο εκ του ουρανου ερχομενοσ επανω παντων εστιν
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 και ο εωρακεν και ηκουσεν τουτο μαρτυρει και την μαρτυριαν αυτου ουδεισ λαμβανει
What he hath seen and heard, of, the same, he beareth witness, —and, his witness, no one, receiveth: —
33 ο λαβων αυτου την μαρτυριαν εσφραγισεν οτι ο θεοσ αληθησ εστιν
He that hath received his witness, hath set seal—that, God, is, true.
34 ον γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεοσ τα ρηματα του θεου λαλει ου γαρ εκ μετρου διδωσιν ο θεοσ το πνευμα
For, he whom God hath sent, the sayings of God, doth speak; for, not by measure, giveth he the Spirit.
35 ο πατηρ αγαπα τον υιον και παντα δεδωκεν εν τη χειρι αυτου
The Father, loveth the Son, and, all things, hath given into his hand.
36 ο πιστευων εισ τον υιον εχει ζωην αιωνιον ο δε απειθων τω υιω ουκ οψεται ζωην αλλ η οργη του θεου μενει επ αυτον (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)
