यूहन्ना 3
1 अब त्यहाँ निकोदेमस नाउँ गरेका एक जना यहूदी अगुवा थिए ।
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 यी मानिस राति येशूकहाँ आए, र उहाँलाई भने, “गुरुज्यू, हामी जान्दछौँ, कि तपाईं परमेश्वरबाट आउनुभएका एक जना शिक्षक हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि तपाईंले गर्नुभएका यी चिह्नहरू परमेश्वर त्यससँग नभईकन कसैले पनि गर्न सक्दैन ।”
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 येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, कोही फेरि नजन्मिएसम्म, त्यसले परमेश्वरको राज्य देख्न सक्दैन ।”
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 निकोदेमसले उहाँलाई भने “मानिस वृद्ध भएपछि कसरी जन्मन सक्छ? ऊ फेरि दोस्रो पल्ट उसकी आमाको गर्भमा पस्न, र जन्मन सक्दैन, सक्छ त?
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 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, कोही पनि पानी र आत्माबाट नजन्मेसम्म ऊ परमेश्वरको राज्यमा पस्न सक्दैन ।
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 शरीरबाट जन्मेको शरीर हो, र पवित्र आत्माबाट जन्मेको आत्मा हो ।
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 मैले तिमीलाई, ‘तिमी फेरि जन्मनुपर्छ’ भनेकोमा अचम्म नमान ।
Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again.
8 हावा जता चाहन्छ त्यतै बहन्छ; तिमीले यसको आवाज सुन्छौ; तर यो कहाँबाट आउँछ, र कतातिर गइरहेको छ तिमी जान्दैनौ । पवित्र आत्माबाट जन्मेका सबै त्यस्तै हुन्छन् ।”
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 निकोदेमसले जवाफ दिए, र उहाँलाई भने, “यी कुराहरू कसरी हुन सक्छन्”?
Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
10 येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “के तिमी इस्राएलका शिक्षक भएर पनि यी कुराहरू बुझ्दैनौ?
Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a master of Israel, and know not these things?
11 साँचो, साँचो म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, कि हामी जे जान्दछौँ, त्यहीँ भन्छौँ, र हामीले जे देखेका छौँ, त्यसैको गवाही दिन्छौँ । तापनि तिमीहरू हाम्रो गवाही स्वीकार गर्दैनौ ।
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 यदि मैले तिमीलाई पृथ्वीको कुरा भनेँ भने तिमीहरू विश्वास गर्दैनौ, यदि मैले स्वर्गका कुराहरू भनेँ भने तिमीले कसरी विश्वास गर्छौ?
If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 स्वर्गबाट ओर्लिआउनुभएका मानिसका पुत्रबाहेक कोही पनि स्वर्गमा उक्लेको छैन ।
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 जसरी मोशाले उजाड-स्थानमा सर्पलाई उचाले, त्यसै गरी मानिसका पुत्र पनि उचालिनुपर्छ,
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 किनभने परमेश्वरले संसारलाई यस्तो प्रेम गर्नुभयो, कि उहाँले आफ्ना एक मात्र पुत्र दिनुभयो, ताकि उहाँमा विश्वास गर्ने कोही पनि नमरोस्, तर उसले अनन्त जीवन पाओस् । (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 किनकि परमेश्वरले यस संसारलाई दण्ड दिन होइन, तर उहाँद्वारा संसारलाई बचाउन आफ्ना पुत्र पठाउनुभयो ।
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 उहाँमा विश्वास गर्ने दण्डित हुँदैन, तर उहाँमा विश्वास नगर्ने अगि नै दण्डित भइसकेको छ, किनभने त्यसले परमेश्वरका एक मात्र पुत्रको नाउँमा विश्वास गरेको छैन ।
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 न्यायको कारण यही होः ज्योति संसारमा आउनुभएको छ, र मानिसहरूले ज्योतिभन्दा अन्धकारलाई नै रुचाए, किनभने तिनीहरूका कामहरू दुष्ट थिए ।
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 किनकि दुष्ट काम गर्ने हरेकले ज्योतिलाई घृणा गर्छ, र त्यो ज्योतितर्फ आउँदैन, ताकि त्यसका कार्यहरू प्रकट नहोऊन् ।
For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 तापनि सत्य काम गर्ने ज्योतिमा आउँछ, ताकि परमेश्वरमा गरिएका त्यसका कामहरू प्रकट होऊन् ।
But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.
22 त्यसपछि येशू र उहाँका चेलाहरू यहूदियामा जानुभयो । त्यहाँ उहाँले तिनीहरूसँग केही समय बिताउनुभयो र बप्तिस्मा दिनुभयो ।
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 अहिले यूहन्नाले पनि सालीम नजिकैको एनोनमा बप्तिस्मा दिइरहेका थिए, किनभने त्यहाँ धेरै पानी थियो । मानिसहरू उनीकहाँ आइरहेका थिए, र तिनीहरूले बप्तिस्मा लिँदै थिए ।
And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 किनकि यूहन्ना यस बेलासम्म झ्यालखानामा परेका थिएनन् ।
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 त्यहाँ यूहन्नाका केही चेलाहरू र एक जना यहूदीबिच विधिवत् शुद्धिकरणको विषयमा विवाद भयो ।
Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 तिनीहरू यूहन्नाकहाँ गए, तिनलाई भने “गुरुज्यू, हेर्नुहोस्, यर्दन नदीको पारिपट्टि तपाईंसँग हुनुहुने र तपाईंले गवाही दिनुभएको व्यक्तिले बप्तिस्मा दिइरहनुभएको छ र तिनीहरू सबै उहाँकहाँ गइरहेका छन् ।”
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 यूहन्नाले जवाफ दिए “मानिसलाई स्वर्गबाट नदिएसम्म त्यसले कुनै पनि कुरा प्राप्त गर्न सक्दैन ।
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 तिमीहरू आफैँ गवाही दिन सक्छौ, कि मैले भनेँ, ‘म ख्रीष्ट होइनँ,’ तर बरु ‘म उहाँभन्दा अगि पठाइएको हुँ ।’
You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 दुलहीचाहिँ दुलहाको नै हो । दुलहाको छेउमा खडा हुने र उहाँको आवाज सुन्ने साथी दुलहाको आवाज सुनेर धेरै आनन्दित हुन्छ । तब मेरो आनन्द पुरा हुनेछ ।
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 उहाँ बढ्नुपर्छ र म घट्नुपर्छ ।
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 माथिबाट आउनुहुने सबैभन्दा माथि हुनुहुन्छ । जो पृथ्वीबाटको हो त्यो पृथ्वीकै हो, र त्यसले पृथ्वीका कुराहरू बोल्दछ । जो स्वर्गबाट आउनुहुन्छ, उहाँ सबैभन्दा माथि हुनुहुन्छ ।
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 उहाँले जे देख्नु र सुन्नुभएको छ, त्यसको गवाही दिनुहुन्छ, तर उहाँको गवाही कसैले स्वीकार गर्दैन ।
And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man receives his testimony.
33 उहाँको गवाही ग्रहण गर्नेले परमेश्वर सत्य हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने पुष्टि गरेको छ ।
He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true.
34 किनकि परमेश्वरले जसलाई पठउनुभएको छ, त्यसले उहाँको वचन बोल्छ । किनकि उहाँले पवित्र आत्मा नापतौल गरेर दिनुहुन्न ।
For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him.
35 पिताले पुत्रलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ, र उहाँले सबै कुरा उहाँको हातमा दिनुभएको छ ।
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
