| [1]But there was one of the Pharishee whose name was Nikodimos, a ruler of the Jihudoyee: |
[1][G1161]There wasG2258[G5713] a manG444 ofG1537 the PhariseesG5330, namedG3686[G846] NicodemusG3530, a rulerG758 of the JewsG2453: |
| [2]This came to Jeshu in the night, and said to him, Rabi, we know that from Aloha thou art sent a teacher; for no man can these signs perform which thou doest, unless Aloha be with him. |
[2]The sameG3778 cameG2064[G5627] toG4314 JesusG2424 by nightG3571, andG2532 saidG2036[G5627] unto himG846, RabbiG4461, we knowG1492[G5758] thatG3754 thou artG2064 a teacherG1320 comeG2064[G5754] fromG575 GodG2316: forG1063 no manG3762 canG1410[G5736] doG4160[G5721] theseG5023 miraclesG4592 thatG3739 thouG4771 doestG4160[G5719], exceptG3362 GodG2316 beG5600[G5753] withG3326 himG846. |
| [3]Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of Aloha. |
[3]JesusG2424 answeredG611[G5662] andG2532 saidG2036[G5627] unto himG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004[G5719] unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080[G5686] againG509, he cannotG1410[G5736][G3756] seeG1492[G5629] the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. |
| [4]Nikodimos said to him, How can an old man be born? Who can again the womb of his mother the second time enter, and be born? |
[4]NicodemusG3530 saithG3004[G5719] untoG4314 himG846, HowG4459 canG1410[G5736] a manG444 be bornG1080[G5683] when he isG5607[G5752] oldG1088? canG3361[G1410][G5736] he enterG1525[G5629] the second timeG1208 intoG1519 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836, andG2532 be bornG1080?[G5683] |
| [5]Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, That if a man be not born of waters and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Aloha. |
[5]JesusG2424 answeredG611[G5662], VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004[G5719] unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080[G5686] ofG1537 waterG5204 andG2532 of the SpiritG4151, he cannotG3756[G1410][G5736] enterG1525[G5629] intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. |
| [6]Whatever is born of the flesh, is flesh; and whatever is born of the Spirit, is spirit. |
[6]That which is bornG1080[G5772] ofG1537 the fleshG4561 isG2076[G5748] fleshG4561; andG2532 that which is bornG1080[G5772] ofG1537 the SpiritG4151 isG2076[G5748] spiritG4151. |
| [7]Wonder not that I have said to thee, that it behoves you to be born anew. |
[7]MarvelG2296[G5661] notG3361 thatG3754 I saidG2036[G5627] unto theeG4671, YeG5209 mustG1163[G5748] be bornG1080[G5683] againG509. |
| [8]The wind bloweth where she willeth,ⓘ and her voice thou hearest; but thou knowest not whence she cometh, nor whither she goeth: so is every man who is born of the Spirit. |
[8]The windG4151 blowethG4154[G5719] whereG3699 it listethG2309[G5719], andG2532 thou hearestG191[G5719] the soundG5456 thereofG846, butG235 canstG1492 notG3756 tellG1492[G5758] whenceG4159 it comethG2064[G5736], andG2532 whitherG4226 it goethG5217[G5719]: soG3779 isG2076[G5748] every oneG3956 that is bornG1080[G5772] ofG1537 the SpiritG4151. |
| [9]Nikodimos answered and said to him, How can these things be? |
[9]NicodemusG3530 answeredG611[G5662] andG2532 saidG2036[G5627] unto himG846, HowG4459 canG1410[G5736] these thingsG5023 beG1096?[G5635] |
| [10]Jeshu answered and said to him, Art thou Malphona of Israel, and these knowest not? |
[10]JesusG2424 answeredG611[G5662] andG2532 saidG2036[G5627] unto himG846, ArtG1488[G5748] thouG4771 a masterG1320 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 knowestG1097[G5719] notG3756 these thingsG5023? |
| [11]Amen, amen, I say to thee, What we know we speak, and what we have seen we testify; but our testimony you receive not. |
[11]VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004[G5719] unto theeG4671, We speakG2980[G5719] thatG3754[G3739] we do knowG1492[G5758], andG2532 testifyG3140[G5719] thatG3739 we have seenG3708[G5758]; andG2532 ye receiveG2983[G5719] notG3756 ourG2257 witnessG3141. |
| [12]If of [what is] on earth I tell you, and you believe not, how if I tell you of [what is] in heaven, could you believe me? |
[12]IfG1487 I have toldG2036[G5627] youG5213 earthly thingsG1919, andG2532 ye believeG4100[G5719] notG3756, howG4459 shall ye believeG4100[G5692], ifG1437 I tellG2036[G5632] youG5213 of heavenly thingsG2032? |
| [13]AND no man hath ascended into heaven, but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man, he who is in heaven. |
[13]AndG2532 no manG3762 hath ascended upG305[G5758] toG1519 heavenG3772, butG1508 he that came downG2597[G5631] fromG1537 heavenG3772, even the SonG5207 of manG444 whichG3588 isG5607[G5752] inG1722 heavenG3772. |
| [14]And as Musha elevated the serpent in the wilderness, so is to be elevated the Son of man, |
[14]AndG2532 asG2531 MosesG3475 lifted upG5312[G5656] the serpentG3789 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, even soG3779 mustG1163[G5748] the SonG5207 of manG444 be lifted upG5312:[G5683] |
| [15]That every man who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. |
[15]ThatG3363 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100[G5723] inG1519 himG846 shouldG622 notG3363 perishG622[G5643], butG235 haveG2192[G5725] eternalG166 lifeG2222. |
| [16]For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. |
[16]ForG1063 GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25[G5656] the worldG2889, thatG5620 he gaveG1325[G5656] hisG846 only begottenG3439 SonG5207, thatG2443 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100[G5723] inG1519 himG846 shouldG622 notG3361 perishG622[G5643], butG235 haveG2192[G5725] everlastingG166 lifeG2222. |
| [17]For Aloha sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might live by him. |
[17]ForG1063 GodG2316 sentG649[G5656] notG3756 hisG846 SonG5207 intoG1519 the worldG2889 toG2443 condemnG2919[G5725] the worldG2889; butG235 thatG2443 the worldG2889 throughG1223 himG846 might be savedG4982.[G5686] |
| [18]He who believeth on him is not judged, and he who believeth not is judged already, because he believeth not in the name of the only-begotten Son of Aloha. |
[18]He that believethG4100[G5723] onG1519 himG846 isG2919 notG3756 condemnedG2919[G5743]: butG1161 he that believethG4100[G5723] notG3361 is condemnedG2919[G5769] alreadyG2235, becauseG3754 he hathG4100 notG3361 believedG4100[G5758] inG1519 the nameG3686 of the only begottenG3439 SonG5207 of GodG2316. |
| [19]And this is the judgment, that the light hath come into the world, and the sons of men have loved darkness rather than the light, for their deeds have been evil. |
[19]AndG1161 thisG3778 isG2076[G5748] the condemnationG2920, thatG3754 lightG5457 is comeG2064[G5754] intoG1519 the worldG2889, andG2532 menG444 lovedG25[G5656] darknessG4655 ratherG3123 thanG2228 lightG5457, becauseG1063 theirG846 deedsG2041 wereG2258[G5713] evilG4190. |
| [20]For every one who doeth abominable things hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. |
[20]ForG1063 every oneG3956 that doethG4238[G5723] evilG5337 hatethG3404[G5719] the lightG5457, neitherG2532[G3756] comethG2064[G5736] toG4314 the lightG5457, lestG3363 hisG846 deedsG2041 should be reprovedG1651.[G5686] |
| [21]But he who doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be known that in Aloha they are wrought. |
[21]ButG1161 he that doethG4160[G5723] truthG225 comethG2064[G5736] toG4314 the lightG5457, thatG2443 hisG846 deedsG2041 may be made manifestG5319[G5686], thatG3754 they areG2076[G5748] wroughtG2038[G5772] inG1722 GodG2316. |
| [22]AFTER these came Jeshu and his disciples into the land of Jihuda, and there conversed with them and baptized. |
[22]AfterG3326 these thingsG5023 cameG2064[G5627] JesusG2424 andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 intoG1519 the landG1093 of JudaeaG2449; andG2532 thereG1563 he tarriedG1304[G5707] withG3326 themG846, andG2532 baptizedG907.[G5707] |
| [23]But Juchanon also was baptizing in Ein-yon, near Sholim, because the waters were there many; and they came and were baptized; |
[23]AndG1161 JohnG2491 alsoG2532 wasG2258[G5713] baptizingG907[G5723] inG1722 AenonG137 nearG1451 to SalimG4530, becauseG3754 there wasG2258[G5713] muchG4183 waterG5204 thereG1563: andG2532 they cameG3854[G5708], andG2532 were baptizedG907.[G5712] |
| [24]For not yet was Juchanon cast into the house of the bound. |
[24]ForG1063 JohnG2491 wasG2258[G5713] not yetG3768 castG906[G5772] intoG1519 prisonG5438. |
| [25]But there was a question with some of the disciples of Juchanon [and] a certain Jihudoya, upon purification. |
[25]ThenG3767 there aroseG1096[G5633] a questionG2214 betweenG3326 some ofG1537 John'sG2491 disciplesG3101 and the JewsG2453 aboutG4012 purifyingG2512. |
| [26]And they came to Juchanon, and said to him, Raban, he who was with thee at the passage of Jurdan, [and] concerning whom thou didst give witness, he also baptizeth, and many come to him. |
[26]AndG2532 they cameG2064[G5627] untoG4314 JohnG2491, andG2532 saidG2036[G5627] unto himG846, RabbiG4461, heG3739 that wasG2258[G5713] withG3326 theeG4675 beyondG4008 JordanG2446, to whomG3739 thouG4771 barest witnessG3140[G5758], beholdG2396, the sameG3778 baptizethG907[G5719], andG2532 allG3956 men comeG2064[G5736] toG4314 himG846. |
| [27]Juchanon answered and said to them, A man cannot receive of his own will any thing, unless it be given to him from heaven. |
[27]JohnG2491 answeredG611[G5662] andG2532 saidG2036[G5627], A manG444 canG1410[G5736][G3756] receiveG2983[G5721] nothingG3762, exceptG3362 it beG5600[G5753] givenG1325[G5772] himG846 fromG1537 heavenG3772. |
| [28]You bear me witness that I said, I am not the Meshicha, but I am an apostleⓘ before him. |
[28]YeG5210 yourselvesG846 bearG3140 meG3427 witnessG3140[G5719], thatG3754 I saidG2036[G5627], IG1473 amG1510[G5748] notG3756 the ChristG5547, butG235 thatG3754 I amG1510[G5748] sentG649[G5772] beforeG1715 himG1565. |
| [29]He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and attendeth him, with great joy rejoiceth on account of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy therefore, behold, is complete. |
[29]He that hathG2192[G5723] the brideG3565 isG2076[G5748] the bridegroomG3566: butG1161 the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, whichG3588 standethG2476[G5761] andG2532 hearethG191[G5723] himG846, rejoicethG5463[G5719] greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom'sG3566 voiceG5456: thisG3778 myG1699 joyG5479 thereforeG3767 is fulfilledG4137.[G5769] |
| [30]To him it must be to increase, and to me to decrease. |
[30]HeG1565 mustG1163[G5748] increaseG837[G5721], butG1161 IG1691 must decreaseG1642.[G5745] |
| [31]For he who from above hath come, is above all; and he who is from the earth, is of the earth, and of the earth speaketh: he who from heaven hath come, is above all. |
[31]He that comethG2064[G5740] from aboveG509 isG2076[G5748] aboveG1883 allG3956: he that isG5607[G5752] ofG1537 the earthG1093 isG2076[G5748] earthlyG1537[G1093], andG2532 speakethG2980[G5719] ofG1537 the earthG1093: he that comethG2064[G5740] fromG1537 heavenG3772 isG2076[G5748] aboveG1883 allG3956. |
| [32]And what he hath seen and heard he testifieth, and his testimony no man receiveth. |
[32]AndG2532 whatG3739 he hath seenG3708[G5758] andG2532 heardG191[G5656], thatG5124 he testifiethG3140[G5719]; andG2532 no manG3762 receivethG2983[G5719] hisG846 testimonyG3141. |
| [33]But he who hath received his, hath sealed that the true Aloha is he.ⓘ |
[33]He that hath receivedG2983[G5631] hisG846 testimonyG3141 hath set to his sealG4972[G5656] thatG3754 GodG2316 isG2076[G5748] trueG227. |
| [34]For he whom Aloha hath sent, the very words of Aloha speaketh; for it was not in measure that Aloha gave the Spirit. |
[34]ForG1063 he whomG3739 GodG2316 hath sentG649[G5656] speakethG2980[G5719] the wordsG4487 of GodG2316: forG1063 GodG2316 givethG1325[G5719] notG3756 the SpiritG4151 byG1537 measure unto himG3358. |
| [35]The Father loveth the Son, and every thing hath he given into his hands. |
[35]The FatherG3962 lovethG25[G5719] the SonG5207, andG2532 hath givenG1325[G5758] all thingsG3956 intoG1722 hisG846 handG5495. |
| [36]He who believeth in the Son hath the life which is eternal; and he who obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Aloha remaineth on him. |
[36]He that believethG4100[G5723] onG1519 the SonG5207 hathG2192[G5719] everlastingG166 lifeG2222: andG1161 he that believeth notG544[G5723] the SonG5207 shallG3700 notG3756 seeG3700[G5695] lifeG2222; butG235 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 abidethG3306[G5719] onG1909 himG846. |
