约翰福音 3
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
人必须重生
3 有一个法利赛人，名叫尼哥德慕，是犹太人的官长。 2 他夜间来到耶稣那里，对他说：“拉比，我们知道你是从 神那里来的教师，因为如果没有 神同在，你所行的这些神迹，就没有人能行。” 3 耶稣回答：“我实实在在告诉你，人若不重生，就不能见 神的国。” 4 尼哥德慕说：“人老了，怎能重生呢？难道他能再进母腹生出来吗？” 5 耶稣回答：“我实实在在告诉你，人若不是从水和圣灵生的，就不能进 神的国。 6 从肉身生的就是肉身，从灵生的就是灵。 7 你不要因为我对你说‘你们必须重生’而感到希奇。 8 风随意而吹，你听见它的响声，却不知道它从哪里来，往哪里去；凡从圣灵生的，也是这样。” 9 尼哥德慕说：“怎能有这事呢？” 10 耶稣说：“你是以色列人的教师，还不明白这事吗？ 11 我实实在在告诉你，我们知道的，才讲论；见过的，就作证，然而你们却不接受我们的见证。 12 我对你们讲地上的事，你们尚且不信，如果讲天上的事，怎能相信呢？ 13 除了那从天上降下来的人子（有些抄本作“除了那从天上降下来仍旧在天上的人子”），没有人升过天。 14 摩西在旷野怎样把铜蛇举起，人子也必照样被举起来， 15 使所有信他的人都得永生。
16 “ 神爱世人，甚至把他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。 17 因为 神差他的儿子到世上来，不是要定世人的罪，而是要使世人借着他得救。 18 信他的，不被定罪；不信的，罪已经定了，因为他不信 神独生子的名。 19 光来到世上，世人因为自己的行为邪恶，不爱光倒爱黑暗，定他们罪的原因，就在这里。 20 凡作恶的都恨光，不来接近光，免得他的恶行暴露出来。 21 凡行真理的，就来接近光，好显明他所作的都是靠着 神而作的。”
他必兴旺，我必衰微
22 这事以后，耶稣和门徒来到犹太地，他和他们住在那里，并且施洗。 23 约翰也在靠近撒冷的艾嫩施洗，因为那里水多；众人都去受洗。 24 那时约翰还没有入狱。 25 约翰的门徒和一个犹太人为洁净礼发生辩论。 26 他们来到约翰那里，对他说：“拉比，你看，从前和你在约旦河东，你为他作见证的那一位，他也在施洗，众人都到他那里去了。” 27 约翰回答：“除了从天上赐下来给他的，人就不能得到甚么。 28 你们自己可以为我作证：我曾说，我不是基督，不过是奉差遣作他的先锋的。 29 娶新娘的是新郎。新郎的好友站在那里听着，听见新郎的声音就非常喜乐。因此，我这喜乐满溢了！ 30 他必兴旺，我必衰微。
从天上来的
31 “那从天上来的，是在万有之上；从地上来的，是属于地，所讲的也是属于地。那从天上来的，是超越万有之上。 32 他把所见所闻的见证出来，可是没有人接受他的见证。 33 那接受他的见证的，就确认 神是真的。 34 神所差来的那一位讲 神的话，因为 神把圣灵无限地赐给他。 35 父爱子，已经把万有交在他手里。 36 信子的，有永生；不信从子的，必不得见永生， 神的震怒却常在他身上。”
John 3
King James Version
3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 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 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 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 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 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 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 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 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 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 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 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 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.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 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 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 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 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 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 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 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 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 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 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.
Juan 3

Si Jesus at si Nicodemo
3 May isang taong nagngangalang Nicodemo, isang Fariseo at pinuno ng mga Judio. 2 Kinagabiha'y pumunta kay Jesus ang taong ito at sinabi sa kanya, “Rabbi, alam po naming ikaw ay isang gurong mula sa Diyos, sapagkat walang sinumang makagagawa ng mga himalang ginagawa mo malibang sumasakanya ang Diyos.” 3 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa iyo, malibang ang tao'y ipanganak mula sa itaas,[a] hindi niya makikita ang kaharian ng Diyos.” 4 Sinabi ni Nicodemo sa kanya, “Paanong maipanganganak ang isang tao kung siya'y matanda na? Maaari ba siyang pumasok muli sa sinapupunan ng kanyang ina upang maipanganak?” 5 Sumagot si Jesus, “Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa iyo, malibang ang isang tao ay ipanganak sa tubig at sa Espiritu, hindi siya makapapasok sa kaharian ng Diyos. 6 Ang isinilang sa laman ay laman at ang isinilang sa Espiritu ay espiritu. 7 Huwag kang magtaka sa sinabi ko sa iyo, ‘kailangang kayo'y ipanganak mula sa itaas[b].’ 8 Ang hangin[c] ay umiihip kung saan nito nais, at naririnig mo ang tunog nito, ngunit hindi mo alam kung saan ito nagmumula at kung saan ito pumupunta. Gayundin ang sinumang ipinanganak sa Espiritu.” 9 Sumagot si Nicodemo sa kanya, “Paano pong mangyayari ang mga ito?” 10 Sumagot si Jesus, “Guro ka ng Israel, at hindi mo alam ang mga bagay na ito? 11 Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa iyo, nagsasalita kami tungkol sa alam namin, at nagpapatotoo sa mga nakita namin; ngunit hindi ninyo ito tinatanggap. 12 (A)Kung ang sinabi ko sa inyo na mga bagay na panlupa ay hindi ninyo pinaniniwalaan, paano kayong maniniwala kung mga bagay na panlangit na ang sasabihin ko sa inyo? 13 (B)Walang sinumang nakaakyat sa langit maliban sa kanya na bumaba mula sa langit, ang Anak ng Tao. 14 (C)At kung paanong itinaas ni Moises ang ahas sa ilang, ganoon din kailangang maitaas ang Anak ng Tao, 15 upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa kanya ay magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. 16 Sapagkat ganoon inibig ng Diyos ang sanlibutan, kaya ipinagkaloob niya ang kanyang kaisa-isang Anak, upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa kanya ay huwag mapahamak kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. 17 Sapagkat isinugo ng Diyos ang Anak sa sanlibutan, hindi upang hatulan ang sanlibutan kundi upang sa pamamagitan niya ay maligtas ang sanlibutan. 18 Ang sumasampalataya sa kanya ay hindi hinahatulan, ngunit ang hindi sumasampalataya ay nahatulan na, sapagkat hindi siya sumasampalataya sa pangalan ng tanging Anak ng Diyos. 19 At ito ang hatol: dumating sa sanlibutan ang ilaw, ngunit mas inibig ng mga tao ang kadiliman kaysa ilaw, dahil masasama ang kanilang mga gawa. 20 Ang sinumang gumagawa ng mga masama ay namumuhi sa ilaw, at hindi siya lumalapit sa ilaw upang hindi malantad ang kanyang mga gawa. 21 Ngunit ang sinumang nagsasagawa ng katotohanan ay lumalapit sa ilaw, nang sa gayon ay mahayag na ang ginagawa niya ay naaayon sa Diyos.”
Si Jesus at si Juan na Tagapagbautismo
22 Pagkatapos ng mga ito, nagtungo si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad sa lupain ng Judea, at doo'y nanatili siya kasama nila at nagbautismo. 23 Nagbabautismo rin si Juan sa Enon malapit sa Salim dahil maraming tubig doon. Maraming tao ang dumating at nabautismuhan. 24 (D)(Hindi pa nakakulong si Juan nang mga panahong ito.) 25 Nagkaroon ng pagtatalo ang mga alagad ni Juan at ang isang Judio tungkol sa rituwal ng paglilinis. 26 Kaya't lumapit sila kay Juan at sinabi sa kanya, “Rabbi, ang taong kasama mo sa kabila ng Jordan, na iyong pinatotohanan ay nagbabautismo. Pumupunta sa kanya ang lahat.” 27 Sumagot si Juan, “Hindi makatatanggap ng anuman ang isang tao malibang ito ay ibinigay sa kanya mula sa langit. 28 (E)Kayo mismo ay mga saksi nang sabihin kong hindi ako ang Cristo, kundi ako ay isinugong una sa kanya. 29 Ang kasama ng kasintahang babae ay ang lalaking ikakasal. Nakatayo ang kaibigan ng lalaking ikakasal at siya'y lubos na nagagalak dahil sa narinig na niya ang tinig ng lalaking ikakasal. Dahil dito'y lubos na rin ang aking kagalakan. 30 Dapat siyang maitaas at ako nama'y maibaba.”
Ang Nagmula sa Langit
31 Siya na nanggaling sa itaas ang pinakamataas; siya na mula sa lupa ay kabilang sa lupa, at nagsasalita nang ayon sa lupa; siya na mula sa langit ang pinakamataas. 32 Nagpapatotoo siya sa kanyang nakita at narinig, ngunit walang tumatanggap ng kanyang patotoo. 33 Ang tumatanggap ng kanyang patotoo ay nagpapatunay na ang Diyos ay totoo. 34 Sapagkat ang isinugo ng Diyos ay nagpapahayag ng mga salita ng Diyos, dahil walang hangganan ang kanyang pagbibigay ng Espiritu. 35 (F)Iniibig ng Ama ang Anak, at ibinigay ang lahat ng bagay sa kanyang kamay. 36 Ang sumasampalataya sa Anak ay may buhay na walang hanggan; subalit ang sumusuway sa Anak ay hindi makalalasap ng buhay. Sa halip, ang poot ng Diyos ang mananatili sa kanya.
John 3
Young's Literal Translation
3 And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews,
2 this one came unto him by night, and said to him, `Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come -- a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.'
3 Jesus answered and said to him, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;'
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, `How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?'
5 Jesus answered, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;
6 that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 `Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above;
8 the Spirit where he willeth doth blow, and his voice thou dost hear, but thou hast not known whence he cometh, and whither he goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit.'
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, `How are these things able to happen?'
10 Jesus answered and said to him, `Thou art the teacher of Israel -- and these things thou dost not know!
11 `Verily, verily, I say to thee -- What we have known we speak, and what we have seen we testify, and our testimony ye do not receive;
12 if the earthly things I said to you, and ye do not believe, how, if I shall say to you the heavenly things, will ye believe?
13 and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down -- the Son of Man who is in the heaven.
14 `And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up,
15 that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,
16 for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.
17 For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;
18 he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 `And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;
20 for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected;
21 but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing;
23 and John was also baptizing in Aenon, nigh to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being baptized --
24 for John was not yet cast into the prison --
25 there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
26 and they came unto John, and said to him, `Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou didst testify, lo, this one is baptizing, and all are coming unto him.'
27 John answered and said, `A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven;
28 ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him;
29 he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled.
30 `Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less;
31 he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaketh; he who from the heaven is coming is above all.
32 `And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;
33 he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;
34 for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;
35 the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;
36 he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'
