Janez 3
1 Bil je človek izmed farizejev, po imenu Nikodém, vladar Judov.
And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 Ta isti je ponoči prišel k Jezusu in mu rekel: »Rabi, vemo, da si učitelj, ki je prišel od Boga, kajti noben človek ne more delati teh čudežev, ki jih delaš ti, razen če ni Bog z njim.«
this one came to Him by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we have known that You have come from God—a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that You do, if God may not be with him.”
3 Jezus je odgovoril in mu rekel: »Resnično, resnično, povem ti: ›Razen če se človek ponovno ne rodi, ne more videti Božjega kraljestva.‹«
Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God”;
4 Nikodém mu reče: »Kako je lahko človek ponovno rojen, ko je star? Ali lahko drugič vstopi v maternico svoje matere in se rodi?«
Nicodemus says to Him, “How is a man able to be born, being old? Is he able to enter into the womb of his mother a second time, and to be born?”
5 Jezus je odgovoril: »Resnično, resnično, povem ti: ›Razen če se človek ne rodi iz vode in iz Duha, ne more vstopiti v Božje kraljestvo.‹
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of God;
6 To, kar je rojeno iz mesa, je meso, in to, kar je rojeno iz Duha, je duh.
that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Ne čudi se, da sem ti rekel: ›Morate se ponovno roditi.‹
You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
8 Veter piha, kjer želi in slišiš zvok le-tega, toda ne moreš povedati, od kod prihaja in kam gre. Tako je z vsakim, ki je rojen iz Duha.«
the Spirit blows where [that] One wills, and you hear [that] One’s voice, but you have not known from where [that] One comes, and to where [that] One goes; thus is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
9 Nikodém je odgovoril in mu rekel: »Kako so te stvari mogoče?«
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
10 Jezus je odgovoril in mu rekel: »Ali si ti učitelj Izraelu, pa ne veš teh stvari?
Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?
11 Resnično, resnično, povem ti: ›Mi govorimo to, kar vemo in pričujemo to, kar smo videli, vi pa našega pričevanja ne sprejemate.
Truly, truly, I say to you, what We have known We speak, and what We have seen We testify, and you do not receive Our testimony;
12 Če sem vam govoril zemeljske stvari in niste verovali, kako boste verovali, če vam povem o nebeških stvareh?
if I spoke to you of the earthly things, and you do not believe, how, if I will speak to you of the heavenly things, will you believe?
13 In noben človek se ni dvignil v nebesa, razen tisti, ki je prišel dol iz nebes, celó Sin človekov, ki je v nebesih.
And no one has gone up to Heaven, except He who came down out of Heaven—the Son of Man who is in Heaven.
14 In kakor je Mojzes povzdignil kačo v divjini, točno tako mora biti povzdignjen Sin človekov,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up,
that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life, (aiōnios g166)
16 Kajti Bog je tako ljubil svet, da je dal svojega edinorojenega Sina, da kdorkoli veruje vanj, se ne bo pogubil, temveč bo imel večno življenje. (aiōnios g166)
for God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Kajti Bog svojega Sina ni poslal na svet, da svet obsodi, temveč, da bi bil svet po njem lahko rešen.
For God did not send His Son into the world that He may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through Him;
18 Kdor veruje vanj, ni obsojen, toda kdor ne veruje, je že obsojen, ker ni veroval v ime edinorojenega Božjega Sina.
he who is believing in Him is not judged, but he who is not believing has been judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 In to je obsodba, da je svetloba prišla na svet, ljudje pa so raje ljubili temo kakor svetlobo, ker so bila njihova dejanja hudobna.
And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;
20 Kajti vsak, kdor počne zlo, sovraži svetlobo niti ne prihaja k svetlobi, da njegova dejanja ne bi bila pograjana.
for everyone who is doing wicked things hates the light, and does not come into the light, that his works may not be detected;
21 Toda kdor ravna po resnici, prihaja k svetlobi, da bi se njegova dejanja lahko razodela, da so narejena v Bogu.‹«
but he who is doing the truth comes into the light, that his works may be revealed, that in God they are having been worked.”
22 Po teh besedah so prišli Jezus in njegovi učenci v judejsko deželo in z njimi je ostal tam ter krščeval.
After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
23 Pa tudi Janez je krščeval v Enónu blizu Salíma, ker je bilo tam veliko vode; in prihajali so in bili so krščeni.
and John was also immersing in Aenon, near to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being immersed—
24 Kajti Janez še ni bil vržen v ječo.
for John was not yet cast into the prison—
25 Potem je med nekaterimi Janezovimi učenci in Judi nastalo pričkanje glede očiščevanja.
there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
26 In prišli so k Janezu ter mu rekli: »Rabi, kdor je bil s teboj onstran Jordana, o katerem prinašaš pričevanje, glej, isti krščuje in vsi ljudje prihajajo k njemu.«
and they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you testified, behold, this One is immersing, and all are coming to Him.”
27 Janez je odgovoril in rekel: »Človek ne more ničesar prejeti, razen če mu ni dano iz nebes.
John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given him from Heaven;
28 Vi sami mi prinašate pričevanje, da sem rekel: ›Jaz nisem Kristus, temveč, da sem poslan pred njim.‹
you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been sent before Him;
29 Kdor ima nevesto, je ženin, toda ženinov prijatelj, ki stoji in ga posluša, se silno razveseljuje zaradi ženinovega glasu. Ta moja radost je torej dopolnjena.
He who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing Him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy has been fulfilled.
30 On mora rasti, toda jaz se moram manjšati.
It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
31 Kdor prihaja od zgoraj, je nad vsem. Kdor je z zemlje, je zemeljski in govori zemeljsko. Kdor prihaja iz nebes, je nad vsem.
He who is coming from above is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaks; He who is coming from Heaven is above all.
32 Kar je videl in slišal, to pričuje in noben človek ne sprejema njegovega pričevanja.
And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;
33 Kdor je sprejel njegovo pričevanje, je pristavil k njegovemu pečatu, da je Bog resničen.
he who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;
34 Kajti tisti, ki ga je Bog poslal, govori Božje besede, kajti Bog mu ne daje Duha na mero.
for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure;
35 Oče ljubi Sina in mu je vse stvari dal v njegovo roko.
the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand;
