Κατα Ιωαννην 3
1 ην δε ανθρωπος εκ των φαρισαιων νικοδημος ονομα αυτω αρχων των ιουδαιων
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 ουτος ηλθεν προς αυτον νυκτος και ειπεν αυτω ραββι οιδαμεν οτι απο θεου εληλυθας διδασκαλος ουδεις γαρ δυναται ταυτα τα σημεια ποιειν α συ ποιεις εαν μη η ο θεος μετ αυτου
The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him.
3 απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτω αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τις γεννηθη ανωθεν ου δυναται ιδειν την βασιλειαν του θεου
Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 λεγει προς αυτον [ο] νικοδημος πως δυναται ανθρωπος γεννηθηναι γερων ων μη δυναται εις την κοιλιαν της μητρος αυτου δευτερον εισελθειν και γεννηθηναι
Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 απεκριθη {VAR1: [ο] } ιησους αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τις γεννηθη εξ υδατος και πνευματος ου δυναται εισελθειν εις την βασιλειαν του θεου
Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 το γεγεννημενον εκ της σαρκος σαρξ εστιν και το γεγεννημενον εκ του πνευματος πνευμα εστιν
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 μη θαυμασης οτι ειπον σοι δει υμας γεννηθηναι ανωθεν
Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again.
8 το πνευμα οπου θελει πνει και την φωνην αυτου ακουεις αλλ ουκ οιδας ποθεν ερχεται και που υπαγει ουτως εστιν πας ο γεγεννημενος εκ του πνευματος
The wind blows where it wants, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 απεκριθη νικοδημος και ειπεν αυτω πως δυναται ταυτα γενεσθαι
Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
10 απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτω συ ει ο διδασκαλος του ισραηλ και ταυτα ου γινωσκεις
Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a master of Israel, and know not these things?
11 αμην αμην λεγω σοι οτι ο οιδαμεν λαλουμεν και ο εωρακαμεν μαρτυρουμεν και την μαρτυριαν ημων ου λαμβανετε
Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness.
12 ει τα επιγεια ειπον υμιν και ου πιστευετε πως εαν ειπω υμιν τα επουρανια πιστευσετε
If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 και ουδεις αναβεβηκεν εις τον ουρανον ει μη ο εκ του ουρανου καταβας ο υιος του ανθρωπου
And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 και καθως μωυσης υψωσεν τον οφιν εν τη ερημω ουτως υψωθηναι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
That whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 ουτως γαρ ηγαπησεν ο θεος τον κοσμον ωστε τον υιον τον μονογενη εδωκεν ινα πας ο πιστευων εις αυτον μη αποληται αλλ εχη ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
17 ου γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεος τον υιον εις τον κοσμον ινα κρινη τον κοσμον αλλ ινα σωθη ο κοσμος δι αυτου
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 ο πιστευων εις αυτον ου κρινεται ο {VAR2: δε } μη πιστευων ηδη κεκριται οτι μη πεπιστευκεν εις το ονομα του μονογενους υιου του θεου
He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 αυτη δε εστιν η κρισις οτι το φως εληλυθεν εις τον κοσμον και ηγαπησαν οι ανθρωποι μαλλον το σκοτος η το φως ην γαρ αυτων πονηρα τα εργα
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 πας γαρ ο φαυλα πρασσων μισει το φως και ουκ ερχεται προς το φως ινα μη ελεγχθη τα εργα αυτου
For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 ο δε ποιων την αληθειαν ερχεται προς το φως ινα φανερωθη αυτου τα εργα οτι εν θεω εστιν ειργασμενα
But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.
22 μετα ταυτα ηλθεν ο ιησους και οι μαθηται αυτου εις την ιουδαιαν γην και εκει διετριβεν μετ αυτων και εβαπτιζεν
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 ην δε και {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ιωαννης βαπτιζων εν αινων εγγυς του σαλειμ οτι υδατα πολλα ην εκει και παρεγινοντο και εβαπτιζοντο
And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 ουπω γαρ ην βεβλημενος εις την φυλακην {VAR2: ο } ιωαννης
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 εγενετο ουν ζητησις εκ των μαθητων ιωαννου μετα ιουδαιου περι καθαρισμου
Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 και ηλθον προς τον ιωαννην και ειπαν αυτω ραββι ος ην μετα σου περαν του ιορδανου ω συ μεμαρτυρηκας ιδε ουτος βαπτιζει και παντες ερχονται προς αυτον
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, the same baptizes, and all men come to him.
27 απεκριθη ιωαννης και ειπεν ου δυναται ανθρωπος λαμβανειν {VAR1: ουδεν } {VAR2: ουδε εν } εαν μη η δεδομενον αυτω εκ του ουρανου
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 αυτοι υμεις μοι μαρτυρειτε οτι ειπον {VAR1: [εγω] } {VAR2: [οτι] } ουκ ειμι εγω ο χριστος αλλ οτι απεσταλμενος ειμι εμπροσθεν εκεινου
You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 ο εχων την νυμφην νυμφιος εστιν ο δε φιλος του νυμφιου ο εστηκως και ακουων αυτου χαρα χαιρει δια την φωνην του νυμφιου αυτη ουν η χαρα η εμη πεπληρωται
He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 εκεινον δει αυξανειν εμε δε ελαττουσθαι
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 ο ανωθεν ερχομενος επανω παντων εστιν ο ων εκ της γης εκ της γης εστιν και εκ της γης λαλει ο εκ του ουρανου ερχομενος {VAR1: επανω παντων εστιν } {VAR2: [επανω παντων εστιν] }
He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he that comes from heaven is above all.
32 ο εωρακεν και ηκουσεν τουτο μαρτυρει και την μαρτυριαν αυτου ουδεις λαμβανει
And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man receives his testimony.
33 ο λαβων αυτου την μαρτυριαν εσφραγισεν οτι ο θεος αληθης εστιν
He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true.
34 ον γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεος τα ρηματα του θεου λαλει ου γαρ εκ μετρου διδωσιν το πνευμα
For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him.
35 ο πατηρ αγαπα τον υιον και παντα δεδωκεν εν τη χειρι αυτου
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
