< यूहन्‍ना 3 >

1 अब त्यहाँ निकोदेमस नाउँ गरेका एक जना यहूदी अगुवा थिए ।
And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 यी मानिस राति येशूकहाँ आए, र उहाँलाई भने, “गुरुज्यू, हामी जान्दछौँ, कि तपाईं परमेश्‍वरबाट आउनुभएका एक जना शिक्षक हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि तपाईंले गर्नुभएका यी चिह्न‍हरू परमेश्‍वर त्यससँग नभईकन कसैले पनि गर्न सक्दैन ।”
This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.
3 येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, कोही फेरि नजन्मिएसम्म, त्यसले परमेश्‍वरको राज्य देख्‍न सक्दैन ।”
Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 निकोदेमसले उहाँलाई भने “मानिस वृद्ध भएपछि कसरी जन्मन सक्छ? ऊ फेरि दोस्रो पल्ट उसकी आमाको गर्भमा पस्‍न, र जन्मन सक्दैन, सक्छ त?
Nicodemus saith 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 again?
5 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, कोही पनि पानी र आत्माबाट नजन्मेसम्म ऊ परमेश्‍वरको राज्यमा पस्‍न सक्दैन ।
Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 शरीरबाट जन्मेको शरीर हो, र पवित्र आत्माबाट जन्मेको आत्मा हो ।
That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 मैले तिमीलाई, ‘तिमी फेरि जन्मनुपर्छ’ भनेकोमा अचम्म नमान ।
Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.
8 हावा जता चाहन्छ त्यतै बहन्छ; तिमीले यसको आवाज सुन्छौ; तर यो कहाँबाट आउँछ, र कतातिर गइरहेको छ तिमी जान्दैनौ । पवित्र आत्माबाट जन्मेका सबै त्यस्तै हुन्छन् ।”
The Spirit breatheth where he will; and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 निकोदेमसले जवाफ दिए, र उहाँलाई भने, “यी कुराहरू कसरी हुन सक्छन्”?
Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?
10 येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “के तिमी इस्राएलका शिक्षक भएर पनि यी कुराहरू बुझ्दैनौ?
Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 साँचो, साँचो म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, कि हामी जे जान्दछौँ, त्यहीँ भन्छौँ, र हामीले जे देखेका छौँ, त्यसैको गवाही दिन्‍छौँ । तापनि तिमीहरू हाम्रो गवाही स्वीकार गर्दैनौ ।
Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony.
12 यदि मैले तिमीलाई पृथ्‍वीको कुरा भनेँ भने तिमीहरू विश्‍वास गर्दैनौ, यदि मैले स्वर्गका कुराहरू भनेँ भने तिमीले कसरी विश्‍वास गर्छौ?
If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?
13 स्वर्गबाट ओर्लिआउनुभएका मानिसका पुत्रबाहेक कोही पनि स्वर्गमा उक्लेको छैन ।
And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
14 जसरी मोशाले उजाड-स्थानमा सर्पलाई उचाले, त्यसै गरी मानिसका पुत्र पनि उचालिनुपर्छ,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 ताकि उहाँमा विश्‍वास गर्ने सबैले अनन्त जीवन पाऊन् । (aiōnios g166)
That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
16 किनभने परमेश्‍वरले संसारलाई यस्तो प्रेम गर्नुभयो, कि उहाँले आफ्ना एक मात्र पुत्र दिनुभयो, ताकि उहाँमा ‍विश्‍वास गर्ने कोही पनि नमरोस्, तर उसले अनन्त जीवन पाओस् । (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
17 किनकि परमेश्‍वरले यस संसारलाई दण्ड दिन होइन, तर उहाँद्वारा संसारलाई बचाउन आफ्ना पुत्र पठाउनुभयो ।
For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
18 उहाँमा विश्‍वास गर्ने दण्डित हुँदैन, तर उहाँमा विश्‍वास नगर्ने अगि नै दण्डित भइसकेको छ, किनभने त्यसले परमेश्‍वरका एक मात्र पुत्रको नाउँमा विश्‍वास गरेको छैन ।
He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 न्यायको कारण यही होः ज्योति संसारमा आउनुभएको छ, र मानिसहरूले ज्योतिभन्दा अन्धकारलाई नै रुचाए, किनभने तिनीहरूका कामहरू दुष्‍ट थिए ।
And this is the judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.
20 किनकि दुष्‍ट काम गर्ने हरेकले ज्योतिलाई घृणा गर्छ, र त्यो ज्योतितर्फ आउँदैन, ताकि त्यसका कार्यहरू प्रकट नहोऊन् ।
For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
21 तापनि सत्य काम गर्ने ज्योतिमा आउँछ, ताकि परमेश्‍वरमा गरिएका त्यसका कामहरू प्रकट होऊन् ।
But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.
22 त्यसपछि येशू र उहाँका चेलाहरू यहूदियामा जानुभयो । त्यहाँ उहाँले तिनीहरूसँग केही समय बिताउनुभयो र बप्‍तिस्मा दिनुभयो ।
After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
23 अहिले यूहन्‍नाले पनि सालीम नजिकैको एनोनमा बप्‍तिस्मा दिइरहेका थिए, किनभने त्यहाँ धेरै पानी थियो । मानिसहरू उनीकहाँ आइरहेका थिए, र तिनीहरूले बप्‍तिस्मा लिँदै थिए ।
And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
24 किनकि यूहन्‍ना यस बेलासम्म झ्यालखानामा परेका थिएनन् ।
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 त्यहाँ यूहन्‍नाका केही चेलाहरू र एक जना यहूदीबिच विधिवत् शुद्धिकरणको विषयमा विवाद भयो ।
And there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews concerning purification:
26 तिनीहरू यूहन्‍नाकहाँ गए, तिनलाई भने “गुरुज्यू, हेर्नुहोस्, यर्दन नदीको पारिपट्टि तपाईंसँग हुनुहुने र तपाईंले गवाही दिनुभएको व्यक्‍तिले बप्‍तिस्मा दिइरहनुभएको छ र तिनीहरू सबै उहाँकहाँ गइरहेका छन् ।”
And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 यूहन्‍नाले जवाफ दिए “मानिसलाई स्वर्गबाट नदिएसम्म त्यसले कुनै पनि कुरा प्राप्‍त गर्न सक्दैन ।
John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
28 तिमीहरू आफैँ गवाही दिन सक्‍छौ, कि मैले भनेँ, ‘म ख्रीष्‍ट होइनँ,’ तर बरु ‘म उहाँभन्दा अगि पठाइएको हुँ ।’
You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 दुलहीचाहिँ दुलहाको नै हो । दुलहाको छेउमा खडा हुने र उहाँको आवाज सुन्‍ने साथी दुलहाको आवाज सुनेर धेरै आनन्दित हुन्छ । तब मेरो आनन्द पुरा हुनेछ ।
He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 उहाँ बढ्नुपर्छ र म घट्नुपर्छ ।
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 माथिबाट आउनुहुने सबैभन्दा माथि हुनुहुन्छ । जो पृथ्‍वीबाटको हो त्यो पृथ्वीकै हो, र त्यसले पृथ्‍वीका कुराहरू बोल्दछ । जो स्वर्गबाट आउनुहुन्छ, उहाँ सबैभन्दा माथि हुनुहुन्छ ।
He that cometh from above, is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from heaven, is above all.
32 उहाँले जे देख्‍नु र सुन्‍नुभएको छ, त्यसको गवाही दिनुहुन्छ, तर उहाँको गवाही कसैले स्वीकार गर्दैन ।
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 उहाँको गवाही ग्रहण गर्नेले परमेश्‍वर सत्य हुनुहुन्छ भन्‍ने पुष्‍टि गरेको छ ।
He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 किनकि परमेश्‍वरले जसलाई पठउनुभएको छ, त्यसले उहाँको वचन बोल्छ । किनकि उहाँले पवित्र आत्मा नापतौल गरेर दिनुहुन्‍न ।
For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
35 पिताले पुत्रलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ, र उहाँले सबै कुरा उहाँको हातमा दिनुभएको छ ।
The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.
36 पुत्रमा विश्‍वास गर्नेसँग अनन्त जीवन हुन्छ, तर पुत्रको अवाज्ञा गर्नेले जीवन देख्‍नेछैन, तर त्यसमाथि परमेश्‍वरको क्रोध पर्नेछ ।” (aiōnios g166)
He that believeth in the Son, hath life everlasting; but he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
