Juan 3
1 Ngayon mayroon isang Pariseo na nagngangalang Nicodemo, kasapi ng Konseho ng Judio.
And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 Pumunta ang taong ito kay Jesus nang bandang gabi, at sinabi niya “Rabi, alam namin ikaw ay isang guro galing sa Diyos dahil walang sinumang makagagawa ng mga tandang ito na ginawa mo maliban na nasa kaniya ang Diyos.”
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 Sumagot si Jesus sa kanya, “Tunay nga, maliban kung isilang muli ang isang tao hindi niya makikita ang kaharian ng Diyos.”
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 Sinabi ni Nicodemo sa kaniya, “Paano ipapanganak ang isang tao kung siya ay matanda na? Hindi na siya pwedeng pumasok sa pangalawang pagkakataon sa sinapupunan ng kaniyang ina at ipanganak, kaya ba niya?”
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 Sumagot si Jesus, “Tunay nga, maliban kung ipinanganak ang isang tao sa tubig at sa Espiritu, hindi siya makakapasok sa kaharian ng Diyos.
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 Iyong ipanganak sa laman ay laman, at iyong ipanganak sa Espiritu ay espritu.
that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Huwag kayong mamangha na sinabi ko sa inyo, 'Dapat kayong ipanganak muli.'
You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
8 Umiihip ang hangin kung saan niya gusto. Naririnig ninyo ang huni nito, ngunit hindi ninyo alam kung saan ito nagmula o kung saan ito pupunta. Gayon din naman ang sinumang isilang sa Espiritu.”
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 Sumagot si Nicodemo, sinasabi, “Paano mangyayari ang mga bagay na ito?”
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
10 Sinagot siya ni Jesus, “Ikaw ba ay guro ng Israel, at hindi mo naiintindihan ang mga bagay na ito?
Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?
11 Tunay nga, sinasabi namin iyong alam namin, at pinatotohanan iyong nakita namin. Subalit kayong mga tao, hindi ninyo tinatanggap ang aming patotoo.
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 Kung sinabi ko sa iyo ang tungkol sa mga bagay na makalupa at hindi ka naniwala, paano ka maniniwala kung sasabihin ko sa iyo ang mga bagay na makalangit?
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 Walang sinumang umakyat sa langit maliban ang bumaba mula sa langit, ang Anak ng Tao.
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 Tulad ng pagtaas ni Moises ng ahas sa ilang, gayon din naman ang Anak ng Tao ay kailangang maitaas,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up,
15 upang ang lahat ng mananampalataya sa kaniya ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. (aiōnios g166)
that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life, (aiōnios g166)
16 Dahil labis na inibig ng Diyos ang sangkatauhan, ibinigay niya ang kaniyang natatangi at nag-iisang Anak upang ang sinumang manalig sa kaniya ay hindi mamatay ngunit magkakaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. (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 Dahil hindi isinugo ng Diyos ang kaniyang Anak sa mundo para parusahan ang sangkatauhan, ngunit para ang mundo ay marapat na maligtas sa pamamagitan niya.
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 Ang nananampalataya sa kaniya ay hindi mahatulan. Ang hindi nananampalataya ay nahatulan na dahil hindi siya nananampalataya sa pangalan ng natatanging Anak ng Diyos.
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 Ito ang dahilan sa paghahatol, na ang ilaw ay dumating sa mundo, at minahal ng mga tao ang dilim kaysa ang liwanag dahil masama ang kanilang mga naging gawa.
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 Dahil ang sinuman na gumagawa ng masama ay galit sa liwanag at hindi lumalapit sa ilaw upang ang kaniyang mga gawa ay hindi malantad.
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 Subalit ang gumagawa ng katotohanan ay lumalapit sa liwanag upang ang kaniyang mga gawa ay malinaw na makita at ang mga iyon ay naganap dahil sa pagsunod sa Diyos.”
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 Pagkatapos nito, si Jesus at ang kaniyang mga alagad ay pumunta sa lupain ng Judea. Doon siya ay naglalaan ng panahon kasama nila at nagbabautismo.
After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
23 Ngayon si Juan din ay nagbabautismo sa Enon malapit sa Salim dahil higit na marami ang tubig doon. Lumalapit sa kaniya amg mga tao at sila ay nababautismuhan,
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 dahil hindi pa naipatapon sa bilangguan si Juan.
for John was not yet cast into the prison—
25 Pagkatapos ay may lumitaw na alitan sa pagitan ng ilang alagad ni Juan at sa isang Judio tungkol sa seremonya ng paghuhugas.
there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
26 Pumunta sila kay Juan, at sinabi nila sa kanya “Rabi, yung kasama mo sa ibayo ng ilog Jordan, na iyong pinatotohanan, tingnan mo, nagbabautismo siya at pumupunta ang lahat sa kaniya.”
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 Sumagot si Juan, “Walang anumang bagay ang tatanggapin ng isang tao maliban na lamang kung ito ay ibinigay sa kaniya mula sa langit.
John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given him from Heaven;
28 Kayo mismo ang makapagpapatunay na sinabi ko, 'Hindi ako ang Cristo' sa halip sinabi ko, 'Isinugo ako bago pa siya.”
you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been sent before Him;
29 Ang kasama ng ikakasal na babae ay ang ikakasal na lalaki. Ngayon ang kaibigan ng ikakasal na lalaki, na siyang nakatayo at nakikinig, ay labis ang tuwa dahil sa tinig ng ikakasal na lalaki. Ito ngang aking kagalakan ay naging ganap.
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 Siya ay dapat maitaas, subalit ako ay dapat maibaba.
It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
31 Ang mula sa kaitaasan ay nakatataas sa lahat. Ang taga lupa ay nagmula sa lupa at nagsasalita ng mga bagay na makalupa. Ang mula sa langit ay nakatataas sa lahat.
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 Nagpapatotoo siya kung ano ang kaniyang nakita at narinig, ngunit walang taong tumatanggap sa kaniyang patotoo.
And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;
33 Ang tumanggap sa kaniyang patotoo ay pinatunayan na totoo ang Diyos.
he who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;
34 Dahil ang sinumang ipinadala ng Diyos ay ipinapahayag ang mga salita ng Diyos. Dahil hindi niya ibinigay ang Espiritu sa pamamagitan ng sukat.
for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure;
35 Mahal ng Ama ang Anak at ibinigay niya ang lahat sa kaniyang mga kamay.
the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand;
36 Ang nananampalataya sa Anak ay may buhay na walang hanggan, ngunit ang sinumang hindi sumusunod sa Anak ay hindi makakakita ng buhay, kundi mananatili ang poot ng Diyos sa kaniya.” (aiōnios g166)
he who is believing in the Son has continuous life; and he who is not believing the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (aiōnios g166)
