Jan 3
1 Te genyen yon mesye pami Farizyen yo ke yo te rele Nicodème, yon chèf a Jwif yo.
Ther was a man of the pharises named Nicodemus a ruler amonge ye Iewes.
2 Mesye sila a te vin kote Li pandan lannwit epi te di L: “Rabbi, nou konnen ke ou sòti nan Bondye kon yon Mèt. Paske pèsòn pa kapab fè sign sa yo ke nou wè ou fè yo anmwenske Bondye avè L.”
The same cam to Iesus by nyght and sayde vnto him: Rabbi we knowe that thou arte a teacher whiche arte come from God. For no man coulde do suche miracles as thou doest except God were with him.
3 Jésus te reponn e te di: “Anverite, anverite, Mwen di ou, anmwenske yon moun ne ankò, li p ap kapab wè wayòm syèl la.”
Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto the: except a man be boren a newe he cannot se the kyngdom of God.
4 Nicodème te di Li: “Kijan yon moun kapab ne lè li vin vye? Èske li kapab antre yon dezyèm fwa nan vant manman l pou l kapab fèt ankò?”
Nicodemus sayde vnto him: how can a man be boren when he is olde? can he enter into his moders wombe and be boren agayne?
5 Jésus te reponn li “Anverite, anverite, Mwen di ou, anmwenske yon moun fèt pa dlo, epi pa Lespri, li p ap kapab antre nan wayòm syèl la.
Iesus answered: verely verely I saye vnto the: except that a man be boren of water and of ye sprete he cannot enter into the kyngdome of god.
6 Sa ki ne nan lachè se lachè, men sa ki ne nan Lespri, se Lespri.
That which is boren of the flesshe is flesshe: and that which is boren of the sprete is sprete.
7 Pa etone ke Mwen te di ou: ‘Fòk ou ne tounèf.’
Marvayle not that I sayd to the ye must be boren a newe.
8 Van an soufle kote li vle, epi ou tande son li, men ou pa konnen kote li soti, ni kote li prale. Se konsa li ye avèk tout sa yo ki ne nan Lespri.”
The wynde bloweth where he listeth and thou hearest his sounde: but canst not tell whence he cometh and whether he goeth. So is every man that is boren of the sprete.
9 Nicodème te reponn Li: “Kijan bagay sa yo kapab ye?”
And Nicodemus answered and sayde vnto him: how can these thinges be?
10 Jésus te reponn: “Ou menm se Mèt an Israël epi ou pa konprann bagay sa yo?
Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: arte thou a master in Israel and knowest not these thinges?
11 Anverite, anverite, Mwen di ou, nou pale sa ke nou konnen, e fè temwayaj de sa ke nou konn wè, e ou pa aksepte temwayaj nou.
Verely verely I saye vnto the we speake that we knowe and testify that we have sene: and ye receave not oure witnes.
12 “Si Mwen di ou bagay konsènan latè a, epi ou pa konprann, kijan w ap kwè si Mwen di ou bagay konsènan syèl la.
Yf when I tell you erthely thinges ye beleve not: how shuld ye beleve yf I shall tell you of hevenly thinges?
13 “Nanpwen pèsòn ki monte nan syèl la sof ke Li menm ki te desann sòti nan syèl la, Fis a Lòm nan menm.
And no man ascendeth vp to heaven but he that came doune from heaven that is to saye the sonne of man which is in heaven.
14 “Menm jan Moïse te leve sèpan an nan dezè a, konsa fòk Fis a Lòm nan vin leve wo,
And as Moses lifte vp the serpent in the wyldernes even so must the sonne of man be lifte vp
that none that beleveth in him perisshe: but have eternall lyfe. (aiōnios g166)
16 “Paske Bondye te tèlman renmen lemond, ke Li te bay sèl Fis inik Li pou nenpòt moun ki kwè nan Li pa ta peri, men ta gen lavi etènèl. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loveth the worlde yt he hath geven his only sonne that none that beleve in him shuld perisshe: but shuld have everlastinge lyfe. (aiōnios g166)
17 Paske Bondye pa t voye Fis Li nan lemond pou jije lemond, men pou lemond ta kapab sove pa Li.
For God sent not his sonne into the worlde to condepne the worlde: but that the worlde through him might be saved.
18 “Sila ki kwè nan Li p ap jije. Men li menm ki pa kwè nan Li gen tan jije deja, paske Li pa t kwè nan non a sèl Fis inik a Bondye a.
He that beleveth on him shall not be condepned. But he that beleveth not is condempned all redy be cause he beleveth not in the name of the only sonne of God.
19 “Sa se jijman an, ke limyè a te vini nan lemond, men lòm te renmen tenèb la olye limyè a. Paske zèv pa yo te mechan.
And this is the condempnacion: that light is come into the worlde and the me loved darcknes more then light because their dedes were evill.
20 “Paske chak moun ki fè mal, li rayi limyè a, e pa vin kote limyè a, akoz perèz zèv li yo ta vin parèt.
For every man that evyll doeth hateth the light: nether commeth to light lest his dedes shuld be reproved.
21 Men sila ki aji nan verite a, ap vini vè limyè a, pou zèv li yo kapab parèt kon zèv ki te fèt pa Bondye.”
But he that doth truth commeth to the light that his dedes might be knowen how that they are wrought in God.
22 Apre bagay sa yo, Jésus avèk disip Li yo te vini nan peyi Judée, e la Li t ap pase tan avèk yo epi t ap batize.
After these thinges cam Iesus and his disciples into the Iewes londe and ther he haunted with them and baptised.
23 Konsa, Jean osi t ap batize nan Enon, toupre Salim, paske te gen anpil dlo la. E yo t ap vini e t ap batize.
And Iohn also baptised in Enon besydes Salim because ther was moche water there and they came and were baptised.
24 Paske Jean potko jete nan prizon.
For Iohn was not yet cast into preson.
25 Konsa, te leve yon diskisyon antre disip a Jean yo ak yon Jwif sou afè pirifikasyon.
And ther arose a questio bitwene Iohns disciples and the Iewes about purifiynge.
26 Yo te vin kote Jean pou di l, “Rabbi, Li menm ki te avèk ou lòtbò Jourdain an, pou Li menm ke ou te bay temwayaj la. Gade, l ap batize, e tout moun ap vin kote Li.”
And they came vnto Iohn and sayde vnto him: Rabbi he that was with the beyonde Iordan to whom thou barest witnes. Beholde the same baptyseth and all me come to him.
27 Jean te reponn e te di: “Yon nonm pa kapab resevwa anyen anmwenske li sòti nan syèl la.
Iohn answered and sayde: a man can receave no thinge at all except it be geve him fro heaven.
28 Nou menm se temwen m lè mwen te di: ‘Mwen menm se pa Kris la, men m te voye devan Li.’
Ye youre selves are witnesses how that I sayde: I am not Christ but am sent before him.
29 “Sa ki genyen madanm maryaj la se jennonm k ap marye. Zanmi li an ki kanpe epi tande l, rejwi anpil paske li tande vwa li. Konsa jwa pa m fin ranpli.
He that hath the bryde is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome which stondeth by and heareth him reioyseth greately of the brydgromes voyce. Tis my ioye is fulfilled.
30 Li menm oblije vin plis, men mwen oblije vin mwens.”
He must increace: and I muste decreace.
31 Li ki sòti pa anwo a, se anwo tout bagay. Li menm ki soti sou latè, se pou latè, epi pale sou zafè latè. Li menm ki sòti nan syèl la, anwo tout bagay.
He that commeth from an hye is above all: He that is of ye erth is of the erth and speaketh of the erth. He that cometh from heaven is above all
32 Sa ke Li te wè epi tande, se sou sa Li bay temwayaj. Epi pa gen pèsòn ki resevwa temwayaj Li.
and what he hath sene and hearde: that he testifieth: but no man receaveth his testimonye.
33 Sila ki resevwa temwayaj Li mete so li sou sa, ke Bondye vrè.
How be it he that hath receaved hys testimonye hath set to his seale that God is true.
34 Paske Li menm ke Bondye voye a, pale pawòl a Bondye. Paske Li bay Lespri a san mezi.
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the wordes of God. For God geveth not the sprete by measure.
35 Papa a renmen Fis la, epi te mete tout bagay nan men Li.
The father loveth the sonne and hath geven all thinges into his honde.
36 Sila ki kwè nan Fis la genyen lavi etènèl; men sila li ki pa obeyi Fis la, p ap wè lavi, men lakolè Bondye va rete sou li. (aiōnios g166)
He that beleveth on the sonne hath everlastynge lyfe: and he that beleveth not the sonne shall not se lyfe but the wrathe of God abydeth on him. (aiōnios g166)
