Joan 3
1 Cen bada Phariseuetaric edoceimbat Nicodemo deitzen cenic, Iuduén arteco principaletaric bat:
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 Haur ethor cedin Iesusgana gauaz, eta erran cieçón, Magistruá, baceaquiagu ecen Iaincoaganic magistru ethorria aicela: ecen nehorc ecin eguin citzaquec hic eguiten dituán signo hauc, Iaincoa harequin ezpada.
The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec eta erran cieçón, Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauat, berriz iayo içanen eztenec, ecin ikus deçaquela Iaincoaren resumá
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Erran cieçón Nicodemoc, Nolatan guiçona iayo ahal daite çahar denean? ala berriz bere amaren sabelean sar eta iayo ahal daite?
Nicodemus saith unto 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 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauát, vrez eta Spirituz iayo eztena, ecin sar daitela Iaincoaren resumán.
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Haraguitic iayo dena haragui duc: eta Spiritutic iayo dena, spiritu duc.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Ezteçála mirets ceren erran drauadan, Berriz iayo behar çarete.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 Haiceac nahi duen lekura diraunsac: eta haren hotsa ençuten duc: baina eztaquic nondic heldu den ez norat ioaiten den: hala duc spiritutic iayo den gucia.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Ihardets ceçan Nicodemoc, eta erran cieçon, Nolatan gauça hauc eguin ahal daitezque?
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, eta erran cieçón, Hi aiz Israeleco doctor, eta gauça hauc eztituc eçagutzen?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauat, ecen daquigun gauçá erraiten dugula, eta ikussi dugun gauçáz testificatzen dugula: baina gure testimoniagea eztuçue recebitzen.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 Baldin lurreco gauçác erran badrauzquiçuet, eta sinhesten ezpadituçue? nolatan baldin ceruco gauçác erran badietzaçuet sinhetsiren duçue?
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly things?
13 Ecen nehor ezta igan cerura, cerutic iautsi dena baicen, cein baita guiçonaren Seme ceruän dena.
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 Eta nola Moysesec altcha baitzeçan suguea desertuan, hala altcha dadin behar da guiçonaren Semea:
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 Ecen hala Iaincoac onhetsi vkan du mundua, non bere Seme bakoitza eman vkan baitu, hura baithan sinhesten duenic gal eztadin, baina vicitze eternala duençát. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Ecen eztu igorri Iaincoac bere Semea mundura, mundua condemna deçançát, baina mundua harçaz salua dadinçát.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 Hura baithan sinhesten duenic, ezta condemnatzen: baina sinhesten eztuena ia condemnatua da: ecen eztu sinhetsi Iaincoaren Seme bakoitzaren icenean.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Haur da bada condemnationea, ecen Arguia ethorri da mundura, baina onhetsiago dute guizonéc ilhumbea ecen ez Arguia: ceren hayen obrác gaichtoac baitirade.
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 Ecen gaizqui ari den guciac, gaitz daritza arguiari: eta ezta arguira ethorten, haren obrác reprehendi eztitecençat.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 Baina bidezqui ari dena, ethorten da arguira, haren obrác manifesta ditecençat: ceren Iaincoaren araura eguinac baitirade.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22 Guero ethor cedin Iesus bere discipuluequin Iudeaco lurrera: eta han egoiten cen hequin, eta batheyatzen ari cen.
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 Eta Ioannes-ere batheyatzen ari cen Enonen Salimgo aldean, ceren anhitz vr baitzén han: eta ethorten ciradén gendeac eta batheyatzen ciraden.
And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 Ecen oraino etzén eçarri içan Ioannes presoindeguian.
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Altcha cedin bada questionebat Ioannesen discipuluetaric Iuduequin purificationeaz.
Then there arose a question between [some] of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 Eta ethor citecen Ioannesgana, eta erran cieçoten, Magistruá, Iordanaz berce aldean hirequin cena, ceinez hic testificatu baituc, hará, batheyatzen ari duc, eta guciac ethorten dituc harengana.
And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all [men] come to him.
27 Ihardets ceçan Ioannes-ec eta erran ceçan, Ecin guiçonac recebi deçaque deus, baldin eman ezpadaquio cerutic.
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Çuec ceuroc çaituztet testimonio nola erran dudan, Ez naiz ni Christ, baina igorri içan naiz haren aitzinean.
Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 Sposa duena sposo da: baina sposo denaren adisquide han dena eta hura ençuten duena, haguitz alegueratzen da sposoaren vozagatic: beraz ene alegrançá complitu da.
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 Harc behar du handitu, eta nic chipitu.
He must increase, but I [must] decrease.
31 Garaitic ethorri dena, gucién gaineco da: lurretic dena, lurreco da, eta lurreco gaucéz minço da: cerutic ethorri dena gucién gaineco da.
He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 Eta cer ikussi eta ençun baitu hura testificatzen du: baina haren testimoniagea nehorc eztu recebitzen.
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 Haren testimoniagea recebitu duenac ciguilatu du ecen Iaincoa eguiati dela.
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 Ecen Iaincoac igorri duena Iaincoaren hitzéz minçatzen da, ecen Iaincoac eztrauca neurriz emaiten Spiritua.
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure [unto him].
35 Aitác maite du Semea, eta gauça guciac eman ditu haren escura.
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 Sinhesten duenac Semea baithan, badu vicitze eternala: baina Semea obeditzen eztuenac, eztu ikussiren vicitzea, baina Iaincoaren hirá dago haren gainean. (aiōnios g166)
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
