Joan 3
1 Cen bada Phariseuetaric edoceimbat Nicodemo deitzen cenic, Iuduén arteco principaletaric bat:
Now there was a man among the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.
2 Haur ethor cedin Iesusgana gauaz, eta erran cieçón, Magistruá, baceaquiagu ecen Iaincoaganic magistru ethorria aicela: ecen nehorc ecin eguin citzaquec hic eguiten dituán signo hauc, Iaincoa harequin ezpada.
He went to Jesus at night, and he said to him: “Rabbi, we know that you have arrived as a teacher from God. For no one would be able to accomplish these signs, which you accomplish, unless God were with him.”
3 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec eta erran cieçón, Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauat, berriz iayo içanen eztenec, ecin ikus deçaquela Iaincoaren resumá
Jesus responded and said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one has been reborn anew, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.”
4 Erran cieçón Nicodemoc, Nolatan guiçona iayo ahal daite çahar denean? ala berriz bere amaren sabelean sar eta iayo ahal daite?
Nicodemus said to him: “How could a man be born when he is old? Surely, he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be reborn?”
5 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauát, vrez eta Spirituz iayo eztena, ecin sar daitela Iaincoaren resumán.
Jesus responded: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one has been reborn by water and the Holy Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Haraguitic iayo dena haragui duc: eta Spiritutic iayo dena, spiritu duc.
What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Ezteçála mirets ceren erran drauadan, Berriz iayo behar çarete.
You should not be amazed that I said to you: You must be born anew.
8 Haiceac nahi duen lekura diraunsac: eta haren hotsa ençuten duc: baina eztaquic nondic heldu den ez norat ioaiten den: hala duc spiritutic iayo den gucia.
The Spirit inspires where he wills. And you hear his voice, but you do not know where he comes from, or where he is going. So it is with all who are born of the Spirit.”
9 Ihardets ceçan Nicodemoc, eta erran cieçon, Nolatan gauça hauc eguin ahal daitezque?
Nicodemus responded and said to him, “How are these things able to be accomplished?”
10 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, eta erran cieçón, Hi aiz Israeleco doctor, eta gauça hauc eztituc eçagutzen?
Jesus responded and said to him: “You are a teacher in Israel, and you are ignorant of these things?
11 Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauat, ecen daquigun gauçá erraiten dugula, eta ikussi dugun gauçáz testificatzen dugula: baina gure testimoniagea eztuçue recebitzen.
Amen, amen, I say to you, that we speak about what we know, and we testify about what we have seen. But you do not accept our testimony.
12 Baldin lurreco gauçác erran badrauzquiçuet, eta sinhesten ezpadituçue? nolatan baldin ceruco gauçác erran badietzaçuet sinhetsiren duçue?
If I have spoken to you about earthly things, and you have not believed, then how will you believe, if I will speak to you about heavenly things?
13 Ecen nehor ezta igan cerura, cerutic iautsi dena baicen, cein baita guiçonaren Seme ceruän dena.
And no one has ascended to heaven, except the one who descended from heaven: the Son of man who is in heaven.
14 Eta nola Moysesec altcha baitzeçan suguea desertuan, hala altcha dadin behar da guiçonaren Semea:
And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so also must the Son of man be lifted up,
so that whoever believes in him may not perish, but may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Ecen hala Iaincoac onhetsi vkan du mundua, non bere Seme bakoitza eman vkan baitu, hura baithan sinhesten duenic gal eztadin, baina vicitze eternala duençát. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Ecen eztu igorri Iaincoac bere Semea mundura, mundua condemna deçançát, baina mundua harçaz salua dadinçát.
For God did not send his Son into the world, in order to judge the world, but in order that the world may be saved through him.
18 Hura baithan sinhesten duenic, ezta condemnatzen: baina sinhesten eztuena ia condemnatua da: ecen eztu sinhetsi Iaincoaren Seme bakoitzaren icenean.
Whoever believes in him is not judged. But whoever does not believe is already judged, because he does not believe in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
19 Haur da bada condemnationea, ecen Arguia ethorri da mundura, baina onhetsiago dute guizonéc ilhumbea ecen ez Arguia: ceren hayen obrác gaichtoac baitirade.
And this is the judgment: that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness more than light. For their works were evil.
20 Ecen gaizqui ari den guciac, gaitz daritza arguiari: eta ezta arguira ethorten, haren obrác reprehendi eztitecençat.
For everyone who does evil hates the Light and does not go toward the Light, so that his works may not be corrected.
21 Baina bidezqui ari dena, ethorten da arguira, haren obrác manifesta ditecençat: ceren Iaincoaren araura eguinac baitirade.
But whoever acts in truth goes toward the Light, so that his works may be manifested, because they have been accomplished in God.”
22 Guero ethor cedin Iesus bere discipuluequin Iudeaco lurrera: eta han egoiten cen hequin, eta batheyatzen ari cen.
After these things, Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea. And he was living there with them and baptizing.
23 Eta Ioannes-ere batheyatzen ari cen Enonen Salimgo aldean, ceren anhitz vr baitzén han: eta ethorten ciradén gendeac eta batheyatzen ciraden.
Now John was also baptizing, at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water in that place. And they were arriving and being baptized.
24 Ecen oraino etzén eçarri içan Ioannes presoindeguian.
For John had not yet been cast into prison.
25 Altcha cedin bada questionebat Ioannesen discipuluetaric Iuduequin purificationeaz.
Then a dispute occurred between the disciples of John and the Jews, about purification.
26 Eta ethor citecen Ioannesgana, eta erran cieçoten, Magistruá, Iordanaz berce aldean hirequin cena, ceinez hic testificatu baituc, hará, batheyatzen ari duc, eta guciac ethorten dituc harengana.
And they went to John and said to him: “Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, about whom you offered testimony: behold, he is baptizing and everyone is going to him.”
27 Ihardets ceçan Ioannes-ec eta erran ceçan, Ecin guiçonac recebi deçaque deus, baldin eman ezpadaquio cerutic.
John responded and said: “A man is not able to receive anything, unless it has been given to him from heaven.
28 Çuec ceuroc çaituztet testimonio nola erran dudan, Ez naiz ni Christ, baina igorri içan naiz haren aitzinean.
You yourselves offer testimony for me that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but that I have been sent before him.
29 Sposa duena sposo da: baina sposo denaren adisquide han dena eta hura ençuten duena, haguitz alegueratzen da sposoaren vozagatic: beraz ene alegrançá complitu da.
He who holds the bride is the groom. But the friend of the groom, who stands and listens to Him, rejoices joyfully at the voice of the groom. And so, this, my joy, has been fulfilled.
30 Harc behar du handitu, eta nic chipitu.
He must increase, while I must decrease.
31 Garaitic ethorri dena, gucién gaineco da: lurretic dena, lurreco da, eta lurreco gaucéz minço da: cerutic ethorri dena gucién gaineco da.
He who comes from above, is above everything. He who is from below, is of the earth, and he speaks about the earth. He who comes from heaven is above everything.
32 Eta cer ikussi eta ençun baitu hura testificatzen du: baina haren testimoniagea nehorc eztu recebitzen.
And what he has seen and heard, about this he testifies. And no one accepts his testimony.
33 Haren testimoniagea recebitu duenac ciguilatu du ecen Iaincoa eguiati dela.
Whoever has accepted his testimony has certified that God is truthful.
34 Ecen Iaincoac igorri duena Iaincoaren hitzéz minçatzen da, ecen Iaincoac eztrauca neurriz emaiten Spiritua.
For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God. For God does not give the Spirit by measure.
35 Aitác maite du Semea, eta gauça guciac eman ditu haren escura.
The Father loves the Son, and he has given everything into his hand.
36 Sinhesten duenac Semea baithan, badu vicitze eternala: baina Semea obeditzen eztuenac, eztu ikussiren vicitzea, baina Iaincoaren hirá dago haren gainean. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But whoever is unbelieving toward the Son shall not see life; instead the wrath of God remains upon him.” (aiōnios g166)
