يوحنَّا 3
| كَانَ إِنْسَانٌ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ ٱسْمُهُ نِيقُودِيمُوسُ، رَئِيسٌ لِلْيَهُودِ. | ١ 1 |
There was a man named Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council.
| هَذَا جَاءَ إِلَى يَسُوعَ لَيْلًا وَقَالَ لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أَتَيْتَ مِنَ ٱللهِ مُعَلِّمًا، لِأَنْ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْآيَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ تَعْمَلُ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱللهُ مَعَهُ». | ٢ 2 |
He came at night to where Jesus was and said, “Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God, for nobody could do the miraculous signs you're doing unless God was with him.”
| أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يُولَدُ مِنْ فَوْقُ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَرَى مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ». | ٣ 3 |
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “Unless you are reborn, you can't experience God's kingdom.”
| قَالَ لَهُ نِيقُودِيمُوسُ: «كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ أَنْ يُولَدَ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ؟ أَلَعَلَّهُ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَطْنَ أُمِّهِ ثَانِيَةً وَيُولَدَ؟». | ٤ 4 |
“How can you be reborn when you're old?” Nicodemus asked. “You can't go back into your mother's womb and be born a second time!”
| أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يُولَدُ مِنَ ٱلْمَاءِ وَٱلرُّوحِ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ. | ٥ 5 |
“I tell you the truth, you can't enter God's kingdom unless you are born of water and the Spirit,” Jesus told him.
| اَلْمَوْلُودُ مِنَ ٱلْجَسَدِ جَسَدٌ هُوَ، وَٱلْمَوْلُودُ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ هُوَ رُوحٌ. | ٦ 6 |
“What's born of the flesh is flesh, and what's born of the Spirit is Spirit.
| لَا تَتَعَجَّبْ أَنِّي قُلْتُ لَكَ: يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُولَدُوا مِنْ فَوْقُ. | ٧ 7 |
Don't be surprised at my telling you, ‘You must be reborn.’
| اَلرِّيحُ تَهُبُّ حَيْثُ تَشَاءُ، وَتَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهَا، لَكِنَّكَ لَا تَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ تَأْتِي وَلَا إِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ. هَكَذَا كُلُّ مَنْ وُلِدَ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ». | ٨ 8 |
The wind blows wherever it wants, and just as you hear the sound it makes, but don't know where it's coming from or where it's going, that's how it is for everyone who is born of the spirit.”
| أَجَابَ نِيقُودِيمُوسُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا؟». | ٩ 9 |
“How is this possible?” Nicodemus asked.
| أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ مُعَلِّمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَسْتَ تَعْلَمُ هَذَا! | ١٠ 10 |
“You're a famous teacher in Israel, and yet you don't understand such things?” Jesus replied.
| اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّنَا إِنَّمَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِمَا نَعْلَمُ وَنَشْهَدُ بِمَا رَأَيْنَا، وَلَسْتُمْ تَقْبَلُونَ شَهَادَتَنَا. | ١١ 11 |
“I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know and give evidence regarding what we have seen, but you refuse to accept our testimony.
| إِنْ كُنْتُ قُلْتُ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضِيَّاتِ وَلَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ، فَكَيْفَ تُؤْمِنُونَ إِنْ قُلْتُ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّاتِ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
If you don't trust what I say when I tell you about earthly things, how would you ever trust what I say if I were to tell you about heavenly things?
| وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ صَعِدَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِي نَزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ١٣ 13 |
No one has gone up to heaven, but the Son of man came down from heaven.
| «وَكَمَا رَفَعَ مُوسَى ٱلْحَيَّةَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ هَكَذَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُرْفَعَ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، | ١٤ 14 |
Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the Son of man must be lifted up,
| لِكَيْ لَا يَهْلِكَ كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ بَلْ تَكُونُ لَهُ ٱلْحَيَاةُ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةُ. (aiōnios g166) | ١٥ 15 |
that everyone who trusts in him will have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا أَحَبَّ ٱللهُ ٱلْعَالَمَ حَتَّى بَذَلَ ٱبْنَهُ ٱلْوَحِيدَ، لِكَيْ لَا يَهْلِكَ كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ، بَلْ تَكُونُ لَهُ ٱلْحَيَاةُ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةُ. (aiōnios g166) | ١٦ 16 |
For God loved the world, and this is how: he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who trusts in him shouldn't die, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
| لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُرْسِلِ ٱللهُ ٱبْنَهُ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ لِيَدِينَ ٱلْعَالَمَ، بَلْ لِيَخْلُصَ بِهِ ٱلْعَالَمُ. | ١٧ 17 |
God didn't send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
| اَلَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ لَا يُدَانُ، وَٱلَّذِي لَا يُؤْمِنُ قَدْ دِينَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِٱسْمِ ٱبْنِ ٱللهِ ٱلْوَحِيدِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Those who trust in him are not condemned, while those who don't trust in him are condemned already because they didn't trust in the one and only Son of God.
| وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلدَّيْنُونَةُ: إِنَّ ٱلنُّورَ قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَأَحَبَّ ٱلنَّاسُ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلنُّورِ، لِأَنَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ كَانَتْ شِرِّيرَةً. | ١٩ 19 |
This is how the decision is made: the light came to the world, but people loved the darkness rather than the light, for their actions were evil.
| لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ ٱلسَّيِّآتِ يُبْغِضُ ٱلنُّورَ، وَلَا يَأْتِي إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ لِئَلَّا تُوَبَّخَ أَعْمَالُهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
All those who do evil hate the light and don't come into the light, because they don't want their actions to be exposed.
| وَأَمَّا مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ٱلْحَقَّ فَيُقْبِلُ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ، لِكَيْ تَظْهَرَ أَعْمَالُهُ أَنَّهَا بِٱللهِ مَعْمُولَةٌ». | ٢١ 21 |
But those who do good come into the light, so that what God accomplishes in them can be revealed.”
| وَبَعْدَ هَذَا جَاءَ يَسُوعُ وَتَلَامِيذُهُ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَمَكَثَ مَعَهُمْ هُنَاكَ، وَكَانَ يُعَمِّدُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
After this Jesus and his disciples went into Judea and spent some time with the people, baptizing them.
| وَكَانَ يُوحَنَّا أَيْضًا يُعَمِّدُ فِي عَيْنِ نُونٍ بِقُرْبِ سَالِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ هُنَاكَ مِيَاهٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ وَيَعْتَمِدُونَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water there and people kept coming to be baptized.
| لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُوحَنَّا قَدْ أُلْقِيَ بَعْدُ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
(This was before John was imprisoned.)
| وَحَدَثَتْ مُبَاحَثَةٌ مِنْ تَلَامِيذِ يُوحَنَّا مَعَ يَهُودٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلتَّطْهِيرِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
An argument developed between John's disciples and a Jew over ceremonial purification.
| فَجَاءُوا إِلَى يُوحَنَّا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، هُوَذَا ٱلَّذِي كَانَ مَعَكَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ قَدْ شَهِدْتَ لَهُ، هُوَ يُعَمِّدُ، وَٱلْجَمِيعُ يَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
They went to John and told him, “Rabbi, the man you were with on the other side of the Jordan River, the one you testified in support of—see, now he's baptizing, and everyone is going to him!”
| أجَابَ يُوحَنَّا وَقَالَ: «لَا يَقْدِرُ إِنْسَانٌ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ شَيْئًا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
“No one receives anything unless they're given it from heaven,” John replied.
| أَنْتُمْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ لِي أَنِّي قُلْتُ: لَسْتُ أَنَا ٱلْمَسِيحَ بَلْ إِنِّي مُرْسَلٌ أَمَامَهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
“You yourselves can testify that I declared, ‘I'm not the Messiah. I've been sent to prepare his way.’
| مَنْ لَهُ ٱلْعَرُوسُ فَهُوَ ٱلْعَرِيسُ، وَأَمَّا صَدِيقُ ٱلْعَرِيسِ ٱلَّذِي يَقِفُ وَيَسْمَعُهُ فَيَفْرَحُ فَرَحًا مِنْ أَجْلِ صَوْتِ ٱلْعَرِيسِ. إِذًا فَرَحِي هَذَا قَدْ كَمَلَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
The bridegroom is the one who has the bride! The best man waits, listening for the bridegroom, and is so happy when he hears the bridegroom's voice—in the same way my happiness is now complete.
| يَنْبَغِي أَنَّ ذَلِكَ يَزِيدُ وَأَنِّي أَنَا أَنْقُصُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
He must become more important, and I must become less important.”
| اَلَّذِي يَأْتِي مِنْ فَوْقُ هُوَ فَوْقَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ هُوَ أَرْضِيٌّ، وَمِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَتَكَلَّمُ. اَلَّذِي يَأْتِي مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ هُوَ فَوْقَ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، | ٣١ 31 |
He who comes from above is greater than all; he who comes from the earth belongs to the earth and talks about earthly things. He who comes from heaven is greater than all.
| وَمَا رَآهُ وَسَمِعَهُ بِهِ يَشْهَدُ، وَشَهَادَتُهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَقْبَلُهَا. | ٣٢ 32 |
He gives evidence about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts what he has to say.
| وَمَنْ قَبِلَ شَهَادَتَهُ فَقَدْ خَتَمَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ صَادِقٌ، | ٣٣ 33 |
Yet anyone who accepts what he says confirms that God is truthful.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ ٱللهُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِكَلَامِ ٱللهِ. لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِكَيْلٍ يُعْطِي ٱللهُ ٱلرُّوحَ. | ٣٤ 34 |
For the one God sent speaks God's words, because God doesn't restrict the Spirit.
| اَلْآبُ يُحِبُّ ٱلِٱبْنَ وَقَدْ دَفَعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فِي يَدِهِ. | ٣٥ 35 |
The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
| ٱلَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِٱلِٱبْنِ لَهُ حَيَاةٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ، وَٱلَّذِي لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱلِٱبْنِ لَنْ يَرَى حَيَاةً بَلْ يَمْكُثُ عَلَيْهِ غَضَبُ ٱللهِ». (aiōnios g166) | ٣٦ 36 |
Anyone who trusts in the Son has eternal life, but anyone who refuses to trust the Son will not experience eternal life but remains under God's condemnation. (aiōnios g166)
