Jāņa Evaņg̒elijs 3
1 Un tur viens cilvēks bija no tiem farizejiem, vārdā Nikademus, Jūdu virsnieks.
Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews.
2 Tas nāca pie Jēzus naktī un uz Viņu sacīja: “Rabbi, mēs zinām, ka Tu esi Mācītājs, no Dieva nācis; jo neviens nevar darīt tās brīnuma zīmes, ko Tu dari, ja Dievs nav ar to.”
He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him.
3 Jēzus atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Patiesi, Es tev saku, ja kas nav piedzimis no augšienes, tad tas Debesu valstību nevar redzēt.”
Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.
4 Nikademus uz Viņu saka: “Kā cilvēks var piedzimt, vecs būdams? Vai viņš atkal var ieiet savas mātes miesās un piedzimt?”
Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?
5 Un Jēzus atbildēja: “Patiesi, patiesi, Es tev saku: ja kas nepiedzimst caur ūdeni un Garu, tad tas nevar ieiet Dieva valstībā.
Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.
6 Kas piedzimis no miesas, tas ir miesa, un kas piedzimis no Gara, tas ir gars.
That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit.
7 Nebrīnies, ka Es tev esmu sacījis: Jums būs piedzimt no augšienes.
Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.
8 Vējš pūš, kur gribēdams, un tu gan dzirdi viņa pūšanu, bet tu nezini, no kurienes viņš nāk un kurp viņš iet. Tā ir ar ikvienu, kas piedzimis no Gara.”
The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.
9 Nikademus atbildēja un uz Viņu sacīja: “Kā tas var notikt?”
And Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for these things to be?
10 Jēzus atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Tu esi mācītājs iekš Israēla un to tu nezini?
And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?
11 Patiesi, patiesi, Es tev saku. Mēs runājam, ko zinām, un liecinājām, ko esam redzējuši, un jūs mūsu liecību nepieņemat.
Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.
12 Ja jūs neticat, kad Es jums saku par zemes lietām; kā jūs tad ticēsiet, kad Es jums sacīšu par debesu lietām?
If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?
13 Jo neviens nav braucis uz debesīm kā vien Tas, kas ir nācis no debesīm, Tas Cilvēka Dēls, kas ir debesīs.
And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.
14 Un kā Mozus tuksnesī čūsku ir paaugstinājis, tāpat Tam Cilvēka Dēlam būs tapt paaugstinātam,
As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:
So that whoever has faith may have in him eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Jo tik ļoti Dievs pasauli mīlējis, ka Viņš Savu vienpiedzimušo Dēlu devis, ka visiem tiem, kas tic uz Viņu, nebūs pazust, bet dabūt mūžīgu dzīvošanu. (aiōnios g166)
For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Jo Dievs Savu Dēlu nav sūtījis pasaulē, ka Tas pasauli sodītu, bet ka pasaule caur Viņu taptu pestīta.
God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.
18 Kas tic uz Viņu, tas netop sodīts, bet kas netic, tas jau ir sodīts, tāpēc ka tas nav ticējis uz tā vienpiedzimušā Dieva Dēla Vārdu.
The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.
19 Bet šī ir tā sodība, ka gaišums nācis pasaulē un cilvēki vairāk mīlēja tumsību nekā gaišumu, tāpēc ka viņu darbi bija ļauni.
And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.
20 Jo ikviens, kas dara ļaunu, tas ienīst gaismu un nenāk priekš gaismas, lai viņa darbi netop norāti.
The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen.
21 Bet kas dara patiesību, tas nāk priekš gaismas, lai viņa darbus var redzēt, jo tie darīti iekš Dieva.”
But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.
22 Pēc tam Jēzus un Viņa mācekļi nāca uz Jūdu zemi, un Viņš tur ar tiem palika un kristīja.
After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism.
23 Un Jānis arīdzan kristīja Enonā, tuvu pie Zalimes, jo tur bija daudz ūdens. Un tie (ļaudis) nogāja un tapa kristīti.
Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism.
24 Jo Jānis vēl nebija likts cietumā.
For at this time John had not been put into prison.
25 Tad viena apjautāšanās cēlās starp Jāņa mācekļiem un tiem Jūdiem par šķīstīšanu.
Then a question came up between John's disciples and a Jew about washing.
26 Un tie nāca pie Jāņa un uz to sacīja: “Rabbi, Tas, kas bija pie tevis viņpus Jardānes, kam tu liecību devi, redzi, Tas kristī, un visi nāk pie Viņa.”
And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.
27 Jānis atbildēja un sacīja: “Cilvēks nekā nevar ņemties, ja tas viņam nav dots no debesīm.
And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.
28 Jūs paši esat mani liecinieki, ka es esmu sacījis: Es neesmu Tas Kristus, bet sūtīts Viņa priekšā.
You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.
29 Kam tā brūte, tas ir brūtgāns, bet tā brūtgāna draugs, kas stāv un viņu dzird, priecājās ļoti par tā brūtgāna balsi. Tad nu šis mans prieks ir piepildīts.
He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.
30 Viņam būs iet lielumā, bet man mazumā.
He has to become greater while I become less.
31 Kas nāk no augšienes, tas ir pār visiem; kas ir no zemes, tas ir no zemes: kas nāk no debesīm, tas ir pār visiem.
He who comes from heaven is greater than all others: he who comes from earth is of the earth, and of the earth are his words: he who comes from heaven is over all.
32 Un ko Tas ir redzējis un dzirdējis, to Tas apliecina; un Viņa liecību neviens nepieņem.
He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.
33 Kas Viņa liecību pieņēmis, tas ir apzieģelējis, Dievu esam patiesīgu.
He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true.
34 Jo ko Dievs ir sūtījis, tas runā Dieva vārdus, jo Dievs nedod To Garu ar mēru.
For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure.
35 Tas Tēvs mīļo To Dēlu un visas lietas ir devis Viņa rokā.
The Father has love for the Son and has put all things into his hands.
