John 3
1 There was nowe a man of the Pharises, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Iewes.
Erat autem homo ex pharisæis, Nicodemus nomine, princeps Judæorum.
2 This man came to Iesus by night, and sayd vnto him, Rabbi, we knowe ye thou art a teacher come from God: for no man could do these miracles that thou doest, except God were with him.
Hic venit ad Jesum nocte, et dixit ei: Rabbi, scimus quia a Deo venisti magister, nemo enim potest hæc signa facere, quæ tu facis, nisi fuerit Deus cum eo.
3 Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except a man be borne againe, he can not see the kingdome of God.
Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit denuo, non potest videre regnum Dei.
4 Nicodemus sayde vnto him, Howe can a man be borne which is olde? can he enter into his mothers wombe againe, and be borne?
Dicit ad eum Nicodemus: Quomodo potest homo nasci, cum sit senex? numquid potest in ventrem matris suæ iterato introire et renasci?
5 Iesus answered, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except that a man be borne of water and of the Spirite, hee can not enter into the kingdome of God.
Respondit Jesus: Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit ex aqua, et Spiritu Sancto, non potest introire in regnum Dei.
6 That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh: and that that is borne of the Spirit, is spirit.
Quod natum est ex carne, caro est: et quod natum est ex spiritu, spiritus est.
7 Marueile not that I said to thee, Yee must be borne againe.
Non mireris quia dixi tibi: oportet vos nasci denuo.
8 The winde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it commeth, and whither it goeth: so is euery man that is borne of the Spirit.
Spiritus ubi vult spirat, et vocem ejus audis, sed nescis unde veniat, aut quo vadat: sic est omnis qui natus est ex spiritu.
9 Nicodemus answered, and said vnto him, Howe can these things be?
Respondit Nicodemus, et dixit ei: Quomodo possunt hæc fieri?
10 Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Tu es magister in Israël, et hæc ignoras?
11 Verely, verely I say vnto thee, wee speake that we know, and testifie that we haue seene: but yee receiue not our witnesse.
amen, amen dico tibi, quia quod scimus loquimur, et quod vidimus testamur, et testimonium nostrum non accipitis.
12 If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things?
Si terrena dixi vobis, et non creditis: quomodo, si dixero vobis cælestia, credetis?
13 For no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that hath descended from heauen, that Sonne of man which is in heauen.
Et nemo ascendit in cælum, nisi qui descendit de cælo, Filius hominis, qui est in cælo.
14 And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp,
Et sicut Moyses exaltavit serpentem in deserto, ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis:
ut omnis qui credit in ipsum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loued the worlde, that hee hath giuen his onely begotten Sonne, that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
Sic enim Deus dilexit mundum, ut Filium suum unigenitum daret: ut omnis qui credit in eum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not his Sonne into the world, that he should condemne the world, but that the world through him might be saued.
Non enim misit Deus Filium suum in mundum, ut judicet mundum, sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum.
18 Hee that beleeueth in him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because he hath not beleeued in the Name of that onely begotten Sonne of God.
Qui credit in eum, non judicatur; qui autem non credit, jam judicatus est: quia non credit in nomine unigeniti Filii Dei.
19 And this is the condemnation, that that light came into the worlde, and men loued darknesse rather then that light, because their deedes were euill.
Hoc est autem judicium: quia lux venit in mundum, et dilexerunt homines magis tenebras quam lucem: erant enim eorum mala opera.
20 For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued.
Omnis enim qui male agit, odit lucem, et non venit ad lucem, ut non arguantur opera ejus:
21 But he that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deedes might bee made manifest, that they are wrought according to God.
qui autem facit veritatem, venit ad lucem, ut manifestentur opera ejus, quia in Deo sunt facta.
22 After these things, came Iesus and his disciples into the lande of Iudea, and there taried with them, and baptized.
Post hæc venit Jesus et discipuli ejus in terram Judæam: et illic demorabatur cum eis, et baptizabat.
23 And Iohn also baptized in Enon besides Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
Erat autem et Joannes baptizans, in Ænnon, juxta Salim: quia aquæ multæ erant illic, et veniebant et baptizabantur.
24 For Iohn was not yet cast into prison.
Nondum enim missus fuerat Joannes in carcerem.
25 Then there arose a question betweene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifying.
Facta est autem quæstio ex discipulis Joannis cum Judæis de purificatione.
26 And they came vnto Iohn, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iorden, to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
Et venerunt ad Joannem, et dixerunt ei: Rabbi, qui erat tecum trans Jordanem, cui tu testimonium perhibuisti, ecce hic baptizat, et omnes veniunt ad eum.
27 Iohn answered, and saide, A man can receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen.
Respondit Joannes, et dixit: Non potest homo accipere quidquam, nisi fuerit ei datum de cælo.
28 Yee your selues are my witnesses, that I sayde, I am not that Christ, but that I am sent before him.
Ipsi vos mihi testimonium perhibetis, quod dixerim: Non sum ego Christus: sed quia missus sum ante illum.
29 He that hath the bride, is the bridegrome: but the friend of the bridegrome which standeth and heareth him, reioyceth greatly, because of the bridegromes voyce. This my ioy therefore is fulfilled.
Qui habet sponsam, sponsus est: amicus autem sponsi, qui stat, et audit eum, gaudio gaudet propter vocem sponsi. Hoc ergo gaudium meum impletum est.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Illum oportet crescere, me autem minui.
31 Hee that is come from an hie, is aboue all: he that is of the earth, is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: hee that is come from heauen, is aboue all.
Qui desursum venit, super omnes est. Qui est de terra, de terra est, et de terra loquitur. Qui de cælo venit, super omnes est.
32 And what hee hath seene and heard, that he testifieth: but no man receiueth his testimonie.
Et quod vidit, et audivit, hoc testatur: et testimonium ejus nemo accipit.
33 He that hath receiued his testimonie, hath sealed that God is true.
Qui accepit ejus testimonium signavit, quia Deus verax est.
34 For hee whome God hath sent, speaketh the woordes of God: for God giueth him not the Spirit by measure.
Quem enim misit Deus, verba Dei loquitur: non enim ad mensuram dat Deus spiritum.
35 The Father loueth the Sonne, and hath giuen all things into his hande.
Pater diligit Filium et omnia dedit in manu ejus.
36 Hee that beleeueth in the Sonne, hath euerlasting life, and hee that obeyeth not the Sonne, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
Qui credit in Filium, habet vitam æternam; qui autem incredulus est Filio, non videbit vitam, sed ira Dei manet super eum. (aiōnios g166)
