Iohannem 3
1 Erat autem homo ex Pharisaeis, Nicodemus nomine, princeps Iudaeorum.
There was however, a man from among the Pharisees, Nicodemus, his name, —ruler of the Jews.
2 Hic venit ad Iesum nocte, et dixit ei: Rabbi, scimus quia a Deo venisti magister, nemo enim potest haec signa facere, quae tu facis, nisi fuerit Deus cum eo.
The same, came unto him, by night, and said unto him—Rabbi! we know that, from God, thou hast come, a teacher; for, no one, can be doing, these signs, which, thou, art doing, except, God, be with him.
3 Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit denuo, non potest videre regnum Dei.
Jesus answered, and said unto him—Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Dicit ad eum Nicodemus: Quomodo potest homo nasci, cum sit senex? numquid potest in ventrem matris suae iterato introire, et renasci?
Nicodemus saith unto him—How, can a man be born, when he is, old? Can he, into the womb of his mother, a second time, enter, and be born?
5 Respondit Iesus: Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit ex aqua, et Spiritu sancto, non potest introire in regnum Dei.
Jesus answered—Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born of water and spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Quod natum est ex carne, caro est: et quod natum est ex spiritu, spiritus est.
That which hath been born of the flesh, is, flesh, and, that which hath been born of the spirit, is, spirit.
7 Non mireris quia dixi tibi: oportet vos nasci denuo.
Do not marvel, that I said unto thee: Ye must needs be born from above.
8 Spiritus ubi vult spirat: et vocem eius audis, sed nescis unde veniat, aut quo vadat: sic est omnis, qui natus est ex spiritu.
The spirit, where it pleaseth, doth breathe, and, the sound thereof, thou hearest; but knowest not, whence it cometh and whither it goeth: Thus, is every one who hath been born of the spirit.
9 Respondit Nicodemus, et dixit ei: Quomodo possunt haec fieri?
Nicodemus answered, and said unto him—How, can these things, come about?
10 Respondit Iesus, et dixit ei: Tu es magister in Israel, et haec ignoras?
Jesus answered, and said unto him—Art, thou, the teacher of Israel, and, these things, knowest not?
11 Amen, amen dico tibi, quia quod scimus loquimur, et quod vidimus testamur, et testimonium nostrum non accipitis.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee: What we know, we speak, and, of what we have seen, we bear witness, and, our witness, ye receive not.
12 Si terrena dixi vobis, et non creditis: quomodo, si dixero vobis caelestia, credetis?
If, the earthly things, I told you, and ye believe not, How, if I should tell you the heavenly things, will ye believe?
13 Et nemo ascendit in caelum, nisi qui descendit de caelo, Filius hominis, qui est in caelo.
And, no one, hath ascended into heaven, save he that, out of heaven, descended, —The Son of Man.
14 Et sicut Moyses exaltavit serpentem in deserto; ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis:
And, just as, Moses, lifted up the serpent in the desert, so, must, the Son of Man, be lifted up, —
That, whosoever believeth in him, may have life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
16 Sic enim Deus dilexit mundum, ut Filium suum unigenitum daret: ut omnis, qui credit in eum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam aeternam. (aiōnios g166)
For God, so loved, the world, that, his Only Begotten Son, he gave, —that, whosoever believeth on him, might not perish, but have life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
17 Non enim misit Deus Filium suum in mundum, ut iudicet mundum, sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum.
For God, sent not, his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but, that the world might be saved through him.
18 Qui credit in eum, non iudicatur: qui autem non credit, iam iudicatus est: quia non credit in nomine unigeniti Filii Dei.
He that believeth on him, is not to be judged: he that believeth not, already, hath been judged, —because he hath not believed on the name of the Only Begotten Son of God.
19 Hoc est autem iudicium: quia lux venit in mundum, et dilexerunt homines magis tenebras, quam lucem: erant enim eorum mala opera.
And, this, is the judgment: That, the light, hath come into the world, —and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works.
20 Omnis enim, qui male agit, odit lucem, et non venit ad lucem, ut non arguantur opera eius:
For, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, lest his works should be reproved;
21 qui autem facit veritatem, venit ad lucem, ut manifestentur opera eius, quia in Deo sunt facta.
But, he that doeth the truth, cometh unto the light, that his works may be, made manifest, that, in God, have they been wrought.
22 Post haec venit Iesus, et discipuli eius in terram Iudaeam: et illic demorabatur cum eis, et baptizabat.
After these things, came Jesus, and his disciples, into the Judaean land; and, there, was he tarrying with them, and immersing.
23 Erat autem et Ioannes baptizans in Aennon, iuxta Salim: quia aquae multae erant illic, et veniebant, et baptizabantur.
And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; —
24 Nondum enim missus fuerat Ioannes in carcerem.
for, not yet, had John been cast into prison.
25 Facta est autem quaestio ex discipulis Ioannis cum Iudaeis de Purificatione.
There arose, therefore, a questioning, from among the disciples of John, with a Jew, —concerning purification.
26 Et venerunt ad Ioannem, et dixerunt ei: Rabbi, qui erat tecum trans Iordanem, cui tu testimonium perhibuisti, ecce hic baptizat, et omnes veniunt ad eum.
And they came unto John, and said unto him—Rabbi! he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, unto whom, thou, hast borne witness, see! the same, is immersing; and, all, are coming unto him.
27 Respondit Ioannes, et dixit: Non potest homo accipere quidquam, nisi fuerit ei datum de caelo.
John answered, and said—A man can receive, nothing, except it have been given him out of heaven.
28 Ipsi vos mihi testimonium perhibetis, quod dixerim: Non sum ego Christus: sed quia missus sum ante illum.
Ye yourselves, unto me, bear witness, that, I, said—I, am not the Christ; but—I am sent before, That One.
29 Qui habet sponsam, sponsus est: amicus autem sponsi, qui stat, et audit eum, gaudio gaudet propter vocem sponsi. Hoc ergo gaudium meum impletum est.
He that hath the bride, is, bridegroom; but, the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth by and hearkeneth unto him, greatly, rejoiceth, by reason of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, therefore, is fulfilled.
30 Illum oportet crescere, me autem minui.
That One, it behoveth to increase, —but, me, to decrease.
31 Qui desursum venit, super omnes est. Qui est de terra, de terra est, et de terra loquitur. Qui de caelo venit, super omnes est.
He that, from above, doth come, over all, is: he that is of the earth, of the earth, is, and, of the earth, doth speak: he that, out of heaven, doth come, over all, is,
32 Et quod vidit, et audivit, hoc testatur: et testimonium eius nemo accipit.
What he hath seen and heard, of, the same, he beareth witness, —and, his witness, no one, receiveth: —
33 Qui autem accepit eius testimonium, signavit quia Deus verax est.
He that hath received his witness, hath set seal—that, God, is, true.
34 Quem enim misit Deus, verba Dei loquitur: non enim ad mensuram dat Deus spiritum.
For, he whom God hath sent, the sayings of God, doth speak; for, not by measure, giveth he the Spirit.
35 Pater diligit Filium: et omnia dedit in manu eius.
The Father, loveth the Son, and, all things, hath given into his hand.
36 Qui credit in Filium, habet vitam aeternam: qui autem incredulus est Filio, non videbit vitam, sed ira Dei manet super eum. (aiōnios g166)
He that believeth on the Son, hath life age-abiding: whereas, he that yieldeth not unto the Son, shall not see life, —but, the anger of God, awaiteth him. (aiōnios g166)
