یوہَنَح 3
| نِکَدِمَناما یِہُودِییانامْ اَدھِپَتِح پھِرُوشِی کْشَنَدایاں | 1 |
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.
| یِیشَورَبھْیَرْنَمْ آوْرَجْیَ وْیاہارْشِیتْ، ہے گُرو بھَوانْ اِیشْوَرادْ آگَتْ ایکَ اُپَدیشْٹا، ایتَدْ اَسْمابھِرْجْنایَتے؛ یَتو بھَوَتا یانْیاشْچَرْیَّکَرْمّانِ کْرِیَنْتے پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ ساہایَّں وِنا کیناپِ تَتَّتْکَرْمّانِ کَرْتُّں نَ شَکْیَنْتے۔ | 2 |
He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”
| تَدا یِیشُرُتَّرَں دَتَّوانْ تَواہَں یَتھارْتھَتَرَں وْیاہَرامِ پُنَرْجَنْمَنِ نَ سَتِ کوپِ مانَوَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیَں دْرَشْٹُں نَ شَکْنوتِ۔ | 3 |
Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
| تَتو نِکَدِیمَح پْرَتْیَووچَتْ مَنُجو ورِدّھو بھُوتْوا کَتھَں جَنِشْیَتے؟ سَ کِں پُنَ رْماترِرْجَٹھَرَں پْرَوِشْیَ جَنِتُں شَکْنوتِ؟ | 4 |
“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?”
| یِیشُرَوادِیدْ یَتھارْتھَتَرَمْ اَہَں کَتھَیامِ مَنُجے تویاتْمَبھْیاں پُنَ رْنَ جاتے سَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیَں پْرَویشْٹُں نَ شَکْنوتِ۔ | 5 |
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
| ماںسادْ یَتْ جایَتے تَنْ ماںسَمیوَ تَتھاتْمَنو یو جایَتے سَ آتْمَیوَ۔ | 6 |
Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit.
| یُشْمابھِح پُنَ رْجَنِتَوْیَں مَمَیتَسْیاں کَتھایامْ آشْچَرْیَں ما مَںسْتھاح۔ | 7 |
Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’
| سَداگَتِرْیاں دِشَمِچّھَتِ تَسْیامیوَ دِشِ واتِ، تْوَں تَسْیَ سْوَنَں شُنوشِ کِنْتُ سَ کُتَ آیاتِ کُتْرَ یاتِ وا کِمَپِ نَ جاناسِ تَدْوادْ آتْمَنَح سَکاشاتْ سَرْوّیشاں مَنُجاناں جَنْمَ بھَوَتِ۔ | 8 |
The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
| تَدا نِکَدِیمَح پرِشْٹَوانْ ایتَتْ کَتھَں بھَوِتُں شَکْنوتِ؟ | 9 |
“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
| یِیشُح پْرَتْیَکْتَوانْ تْوَمِسْراییلو گُرُرْبھُوتْواپِ کِمیتاں کَتھاں نَ ویتْسِ؟ | 10 |
“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?
| تُبھْیَں یَتھارْتھَں کَتھَیامِ، وَیَں یَدْ وِدْمَسْتَدْ وَچْمَح یَںچَّ پَشْیامَسْتَسْیَیوَ ساکْشْیَں دَدْمَح کِنْتُ یُشْمابھِرَسْماکَں ساکْشِتْوَں نَ گرِہْیَتے۔ | 11 |
Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, and yet you people do not accept our testimony.
| ایتَسْیَ سَںسارَسْیَ کَتھایاں کَتھِتایاں یَدِ یُویَں نَ وِشْوَسِتھَ تَرْہِ سْوَرْگِییایاں کَتھایاں کَتھَں وِشْوَسِشْیَتھَ؟ | 12 |
If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
| یَح سْوَرْگےسْتِ یَں چَ سْوَرْگادْ اَواروہَتْ تَں مانَوَتَنَیَں وِنا کوپِ سْوَرْگَں ناروہَتْ۔ | 13 |
No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
| اَپَرَنْچَ مُوسا یَتھا پْرانْتَرے سَرْپَں پْروتّھاپِتَوانْ مَنُشْیَپُتْروپِ تَتھَیووتّھاپِتَوْیَح؛ | 14 |
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
| تَسْمادْ یَح کَشْچِتْ تَسْمِنْ وِشْوَسِشْیَتِ سووِناشْیَح سَنْ اَنَنْتایُح پْراپْسْیَتِ۔ (aiōnios g166) | 15 |
that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
| اِیشْوَرَ اِتّھَں جَگَدَدَیَتَ یَتْ سْوَمَدْوِتِییَں تَنَیَں پْرادَداتْ تَتو یَح کَشْچِتْ تَسْمِنْ وِشْوَسِشْیَتِ سووِناشْیَح سَنْ اَنَنْتایُح پْراپْسْیَتِ۔ (aiōnios g166) | 16 |
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
| اِیشْوَرو جَگَتو لوکانْ دَنْڈَیِتُں سْوَپُتْرَں نَ پْریشْیَ تانْ پَرِتْراتُں پْریشِتَوانْ۔ | 17 |
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
| اَتَایوَ یَح کَشْچِتْ تَسْمِنْ وِشْوَسِتِ سَ دَنْڈارْہو نَ بھَوَتِ کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ تَسْمِنْ نَ وِشْوَسِتِ سَ اِدانِیمیوَ دَنْڈارْہو بھَوَتِ،یَتَح سَ اِیشْوَرَسْیادْوِتِییَپُتْرَسْیَ نامَنِ پْرَتْیَیَں نَ کَروتِ۔ | 18 |
Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
| جَگَتو مَدھْیے جْیوتِح پْراکاشَتَ کِنْتُ مَنُشْیاناں کَرْمَّناں درِشْٹَتْواتْ تے جْیوتِشوپِ تِمِرے پْرِییَنْتے ایتَدیوَ دَنْڈَسْیَ کارَناں بھَوَتِ۔ | 19 |
And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil.
| یَح کُکَرْمَّ کَروتِ تَسْیاچارَسْیَ درِشْٹَتْواتْ سَ جْیوتِررِیتِییِتْوا تَنِّکَٹَں نایاتِ؛ | 20 |
Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
| کِنْتُ یَح سَتْکَرْمَّ کَروتِ تَسْیَ سَرْوّانِ کَرْمّانِیشْوَرینَ کرِتانِیتِ سَتھا پْرَکاشَتے تَدَبھِپْرایینَ سَ جْیوتِشَح سَنِّدھِمْ آیاتِ۔ | 21 |
But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”
| تَتَح پَرَمْ یِیشُح شِشْیَیح سارْدّھَں یِہُودِییَدیشَں گَتْوا تَتْرَ سْتھِتْوا مَجَّیِتُمْ آرَبھَتَ۔ | 22 |
After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized.
| تَدا شالَمْ نَگَرَسْیَ سَمِیپَسْتھایِنِ اَینَنْ گْرامے بَہُتَرَتویَسْتھِتیسْتَتْرَ یوہَنْ اَمَجَّیَتْ تَتھا چَ لوکا آگَتْیَ تینَ مَجِّتا اَبھَوَنْ۔ | 23 |
Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.
| تَدا یوہَنْ کارایاں نَ بَدّھَح۔ | 24 |
(For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
| اَپَرَنْچَ شاچَکَرْمَّنِ یوہانَح شِشْیَیح سَہَ یِہُودِییَلوکاناں وِوادے جاتے، تے یوہَنَح سَںنِّدھِں گَتْواکَتھَیَنْ، | 25 |
Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing.
| ہے گُرو یَرْدَّنَنَدْیاح پارے بھَوَتا سارْدّھَں یَ آسِیتْ یَسْمِںشْچَ بھَوانْ ساکْشْیَں پْرَدَداتْ پَشْیَتُ سوپِ مَجَّیَتِ سَرْوّے تَسْیَ سَمِیپَں یانْتِ چَ۔ | 26 |
So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.”
| تَدا یوہَنْ پْرَتْیَووچَدْ اِیشْوَرینَ نَ دَتّے کوپِ مَنُجَح کِمَپِ پْراپْتُں نَ شَکْنوتِ۔ | 27 |
John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven.
| اَہَں اَبھِشِکْتو نَ بھَوامِ کِنْتُ تَدَگْرے پْریشِتوسْمِ یامِماں کَتھاں کَتھِتَواناہَں تَتْرَ یُویَں سَرْوّے ساکْشِنَح سْتھَ۔ | 28 |
You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’
| یو جَنَح کَنْیاں لَبھَتے سَ ایوَ وَرَح کِنْتُ وَرَسْیَ سَنِّدھَو دَنْڈایَمانَں تَسْیَ یَنْمِتْرَں تینَ وَرَسْیَ شَبْدے شْرُتےتِیواہْلادْیَتے مَماپِ تَدْوَدْ آنَنْدَسِدّھِرْجاتا۔ | 29 |
The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.
| تینَ کْرَمَشو وَرْدّھِتَوْیَں کِنْتُ مَیا ہْسِتَوْیَں۔ | 30 |
He must increase; I must decrease.
| یَ اُورْدھْواداگَچّھَتْ سَ سَرْوّیشاں مُکھْیو یَشْچَ سَںسارادْ اُدَپَدْیَتَ سَ ساںسارِکَح سَںسارِییاں کَتھانْچَ کَتھَیَتِ یَسْتُ سْوَرْگاداگَچّھَتْ سَ سَرْوّیشاں مُکھْیَح۔ | 31 |
The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all.
| سَ یَدَپَشْیَدَشرِنوچَّ تَسْمِنّیوَ ساکْشْیَں دَداتِ تَتھاپِ پْرایَشَح کَشْچِتْ تَسْیَ ساکْشْیَں نَ گرِہْلاتِ؛ | 32 |
He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.
| کِنْتُ یو گرِہْلاتِ سَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ سَتْیَوادِتْوَں مُدْرانْگِتَں کَروتِ۔ | 33 |
Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
| اِیشْوَرینَ یَح پْریرِتَح سَایوَ اِیشْوَرِییَکَتھاں کَتھَیَتِ یَتَ اِیشْوَرَ آتْمانَں تَسْمَے اَپَرِمِتَمْ اَدَداتْ۔ | 34 |
For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
| پِتا پُتْرے سْنیہَں کرِتْوا تَسْیَ ہَسْتے سَرْوّانِ سَمَرْپِتَوانْ۔ | 35 |
The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.
| یَح کَشْچِتْ پُتْرے وِشْوَسِتِ سَ ایوانَنْتَمْ پَرَمایُح پْراپْنوتِ کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ پُتْرے نَ وِشْوَسِتِ سَ پَرَمایُشو دَرْشَنَں نَ پْراپْنوتِ کِنْتْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ کوپَبھاجَنَں بھُوتْوا تِشْٹھَتِ۔ (aiōnios g166) | 36 |
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.” (aiōnios g166)
