Nikodemos besöker Jesus om natten

3 Där fanns en farisé[a] som hette Nikodemos och som var medlem i det judiska rådet[b]. 2 Han kom till Jesus en natt och sa: ”Rabbi, vi vet att du är en lärare som har kommit från Gud. Ingen kan göra sådana tecken som du gör om inte Gud är med honom.”

3 Men Jesus svarade: ”Ja, sannerligen säger jag dig: den som inte föds på nytt[c] får aldrig se Guds rike.”

4 ”Hur kan någon födas på nytt när man är gammal?” undrade Nikodemos. ”Man kan väl inte komma in i sin moders liv och födas igen?”

5 Jesus svarade: ”Ja, sannerligen säger jag dig: den som inte blir född av vatten och Ande får överhuvudtaget inte komma in i Guds rike. 6 Det som föds på mänskligt sätt är mänskligt, men det som föds av Anden är andligt. 7 Förvåna dig därför inte över att jag säger att ni måste födas på nytt[d]. 8 Vinden[e] blåser vart den vill. Du hör den blåsa men kan inte säga varifrån den kommer eller vart den tar vägen. Så är det också med var och en som är född av Anden.”

9 ”Men hur är detta möjligt?” frågade Nikodemos.

10 Jesus svarade: ”Du är en Israels lärare och förstår inte det här? 11 Ja, sannerligen säger jag dig: det vi talar om är sådant vi vet, och vi vittnar om det vi har sett, och ändå tar ni inte emot vårt vittnesbörd. 12 Om ni inte tror när jag talar till er om det jordiska, hur ska ni då kunna tro när jag talar om det himmelska? 13 Ingen har ju stigit upp till himlen, utom Människosonen, som har kommit ner därifrån. 14 På samma sätt som Mose hängde upp kopparormen i öknen måste Människosonen lyftas upp[f], 15 för att alla som tror på honom ska ha evigt liv.”[g]

16 Så älskade Gud världen att han gav den sin ende Son, för att de som tror på honom inte ska gå förlorade utan ha evigt liv. 17 Det var inte för att döma världen som Gud sände sin Son, utan för att världen skulle räddas genom honom. 18 Den som tror på honom blir inte dömd. Men den som inte tror är redan dömd, eftersom han inte tror på Guds ende Sons namn. 19 Och detta är domen, att när ljuset kom ner till världen, älskade människorna mörkret mer än ljuset, eftersom deras handlingar var onda. 20 Den som gör det som är ont, hatar ljuset. Han håller sig borta från ljuset, så att hans gärningar inte ska avslöjas. 21 Men den som gör det som är sanningsenligt dras till ljuset, för att det ska synas att han gör det som Gud vill.

Johannes döparen berättar vem Jesus är

22 Sedan gick Jesus tillsammans med sina lärjungar till Judeen där de stannade en tid och döpte. 23 Samtidigt höll Johannes på att döpa vid Ainon, nära Salim, där det fanns gott om vatten, och folk kom dit för att döpas. 24 Det var innan Johannes hade satts i fängelse. 25 En gång kom några av Johannes lärjungar att diskutera olika reningsceremonier[h] med en jude. 26 De gick då till Johannes och sa: ”Rabbi, mannen som var tillsammans med dig på andra sidan Jordanfloden, han som du vittnade om, han döper också, och nu går alla till honom.”

27 Men Johannes svarade: ”Ingen kan ta emot något som inte ges honom från himlen.” 28 Ni kan själva vittna om att jag har sagt att jag inte är Messias. Jag är utsänd för att gå framför honom. 29 Bruden tillhör sin brudgum. Och brudgummens vän gläds åt att få stå och lyssna till brudgummen. Den glädjen är nu fullständigt min. 30 Han ska bli större och jag mindre.

31 ”Han som har kommit från ovan är över alla andra. Den som kommer från jorden är av jorden och talar det jordiska. Den som kommer från himlen är över alla. 32 Han vittnar om det han har sett och hört, och ingen tar emot hans vittnesbörd. 33 Men den som tar emot hans vittnesbörd, bekräftar att Gud talar sanning, 34 för den som är sänd av Gud talar Guds ord. Gud ger Anden utan mått. 35 Fadern älskar Sonen och har gett honom makt över allting. 36 Den som tror på Sonen har evigt liv. Men den som vägrar att lyda Sonen ska inte se livet, utan blir kvar under Guds dom.”

John 3
New International Version

Jesus Teaches Nicodemus

3 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus(A) who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.(B) 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi,(C) we know(D) that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs(E) you are doing if God were not with him.”(F)

3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]”(G)

4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.(H) 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit.(I) 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d](J)

9 “How can this be?”(K) Nicodemus asked.

10 “You are Israel’s teacher,”(L) said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know,(M) and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.(N) 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven(O) except the one who came from heaven(P)—the Son of Man.[e](Q) 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness,(R) so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f](S) 15 that everyone who believes(T) may have eternal life in him.”[g](U)

16 For God so loved(V) the world that he gave(W) his one and only Son,(X) that whoever believes(Y) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(Z) 17 For God did not send his Son into the world(AA) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.(AB) 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned,(AC) but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.(AD) 19 This is the verdict: Light(AE) has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.(AF) 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.(AG) 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

John Testifies Again About Jesus

22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized.(AH) 23 Now John(AI) also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were coming and being baptized. 24 (This was before John was put in prison.)(AJ) 25 An argument developed between some of John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of ceremonial washing.(AK) 26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi,(AL) that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified(AM) about—look, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.”

27 To this John replied, “A person can receive only what is given them from heaven. 28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah but am sent ahead of him.’(AN) 29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom.(AO) The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.(AP) 30 He must become greater; I must become less.”[h]

31 The one who comes from above(AQ) is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth.(AR) The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard,(AS) but no one accepts his testimony.(AT) 33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent(AU) speaks the words of God, for God[i] gives the Spirit(AV) without limit. 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.(AW) 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,(AX) but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

John 3
Living Bible

3 1-2 After dark one night a Jewish religious leader named Nicodemus, a member of the sect of the Pharisees, came for an interview with Jesus. “Sir,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miracles are proof enough of this.”

3 Jesus replied, “With all the earnestness I possess I tell you this: Unless you are born again, you can never get into the Kingdom of God.”

4 “Born again!” exclaimed Nicodemus. “What do you mean? How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?”

5 Jesus replied, “What I am telling you so earnestly is this: Unless one is born of water and the Spirit,[a] he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. 6 Men can only reproduce human life, but the Holy Spirit gives new life from heaven; 7 so don’t be surprised at my statement that you must be born again! 8 Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it will go next, so it is with the Spirit. We do not know on whom he will next bestow this life from heaven.”

9 “What do you mean?” Nicodemus asked.

10-11 Jesus replied, “You, a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don’t understand these things? I am telling you what I know and have seen—and yet you won’t believe me. 12 But if you don’t even believe me when I tell you about such things as these that happen here among men, how can you possibly believe if I tell you what is going on in heaven? 13 For only I, the Messiah,[b] have come to earth and will return to heaven again. 14 And as Moses in the wilderness lifted up the bronze image of a serpent on a pole, even so I must be lifted up upon a pole, 15 so that anyone who believes in me will have eternal life. 16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son[c] so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.

18 “There is no eternal doom awaiting those who trust him to save them. But those who don’t trust him have already been tried and condemned for not believing in the only Son of God. 19 Their sentence is based on this fact: that the Light from heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20 They hated the heavenly Light because they wanted to sin in the darkness. They stayed away from that Light for fear their sins would be exposed and they would be punished. 21 But those doing right come gladly to the Light to let everyone see that they are doing what God wants them to.”

22 Afterwards Jesus and his disciples left Jerusalem and stayed for a while in Judea and baptized there.

23-24 At this time John the Baptist was not yet in prison. He was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there. 25 One day someone began an argument with John’s disciples, telling them that Jesus’ baptism was best.[d] 26 So they came to John and said, “Master, the man you met on the other side of the Jordan River—the one you said was the Messiah—he is baptizing too, and everybody is going over there instead of coming here to us.”

27 John replied, “God in heaven appoints each man’s work. 28 My work is to prepare the way for that man so that everyone will go to him. You yourselves know how plainly I told you that I am not the Messiah. I am here to prepare the way for him—that is all. 29 The crowds will naturally go to the main attraction[e]—the bride will go where the bridegroom is! A bridegroom’s friends rejoice with him. I am the Bridegroom’s friend, and I am filled with joy at his success. 30 He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.

31 “He has come from heaven and is greater than anyone else. I am of the earth, and my understanding is limited to the things of earth. 32 He tells what he has seen and heard, but how few believe what he tells them! 33-34 Those who believe him discover that God is a fountain of truth. For this one—sent by God—speaks God’s words, for God’s Spirit is upon him without measure or limit. 35 The Father loves this man because he is his Son, and God has given him everything there is. 36 And all who trust him—God’s Son—to save them have eternal life; those who don’t believe and obey him shall never see heaven, but the wrath of God remains upon them.”

Ioan 3
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română

Isus şi Nicodim

3 Între farisei era un om pe nume Nicodim, un conducător al iudeilor. 2 Acesta a venit la Isus noaptea şi I-a zis:

– Rabbi[a], ştim că eşti un învăţător Care a venit de la Dumnezeu. Căci nimeni nu poate face aceste semne pe care le faci Tu, dacă nu este Dumnezeu cu el.

3 Isus i-a răspuns:

– Adevărat, adevărat îţi spun că, dacă cineva nu este născut din nou[b] nu poate vedea Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu[c]!

4 Nicodim L-a întrebat:

– Cum poate fi născut un om bătrân? Poate el oare să intre a doua oară în pântecele mamei lui şi să fie născut?

5 Isus i-a răspuns:

– Adevărat, adevărat îţi spun că, dacă cineva nu este născut din apă şi din Duh nu poate să intre în Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu! 6 Ce este născut din carne este carne, iar ce este născut din Duh este duh. 7 Să nu te miri că ţi-am spus: „Trebuie să fiţi născuţi din nou!“ 8 Vântul[d] suflă încotro vrea şi-i auzi vuietul, dar nu ştii de unde vine şi unde se duce. Tot aşa se întâmplă cu oricine este născut din Duhul.

9 Nicodim L-a întrebat:

– Cum se pot întâmpla aceste lucruri?

10 Isus i-a răspuns:

– Tu eşti învăţătorul lui Israel şi nu înţelegi aceste lucruri?! 11 Adevărat, adevărat îţi spun că noi vorbim ceea ce ştim şi depunem mărturie despre ceea ce am văzut, dar voi nu primiţi mărturia noastră. 12 Dacă v-am vorbit despre lucrurile pământeşti şi nu credeţi, cum veţi crede dacă vă voi vorbi despre lucrurile cereşti?! 13 Nimeni nu s-a suit în cer în afară de Cel Care a coborât din cer, adică de Fiul Omului (Care este în cer)[e] 14 Şi, aşa cum Moise a înălţat şarpele în pustie,[f] tot aşa trebuie să fie înălţat şi Fiul Omului, 15 pentru ca oricine crede în El să aibă viaţă veşnică.[g]

16 Fiindcă[h] atât de mult a iubit Dumnezeu lumea, încât L-a dat pe singurul Lui Fiu[i], pentru ca oricine crede în El să nu piară, ci să aibă viaţă veşnică. 17 Căci Dumnezeu nu L-a trimis pe Fiul Său în lume ca să judece lumea, ci ca lumea să fie mântuită prin El. 18 Cel ce crede în El nu este judecat; însă cel ce nu crede a şi fost judecat, pentru că nu a crezut în Numele singurului Fiu[j] al lui Dumnezeu. 19 Şi judecata este aceasta: lumina a venit în lume, dar oamenii au iubit mai mult întunericul decât lumina, pentru că faptele lor erau rele. 20 Căci oricine face răul urăşte lumina şi nu vine la lumină, ca să nu i se expună faptele. 21 Dar cel ce lucrează potrivit cu adevărul vine la lumină, ca să i se arate faptele, fiindcă sunt făcute în Dumnezeu.

Mărturia lui Ioan Botezătorul despre Isus

22 După aceea, Isus şi ucenicii Lui au venit în ţinutul Iudeii. Şi stătea acolo cu ei şi boteza[k]. 23 Ioan boteza şi el în Aenon, aproape de Salim, pentru că acolo erau multe ape, şi oamenii continuau să vină şi să fie botezaţi. 24 Căci Ioan încă nu fusese aruncat în închisoare. 25 Între unii din ucenicii lui Ioan şi un iudeu[l] s-a iscat o controversă cu privire la curăţire. 26 Au venit la Ioan şi i-au zis:

– Rabbi, iată că Cel Ce era cu tine dincolo de Iordan, Cel despre Care tu ai depus mărturie, botează şi toţi se duc la El!

27 Ioan a răspuns:

– Omul nu poate primi decât ceea ce i-a fost dat din cer. 28 Voi înşivă îmi sunteţi martori că am zis: „Nu sunt eu Cristosul, ci eu sunt trimis înaintea Lui.“ 29 Cel ce are mireasă este mire. Însă prietenul mirelui, cel care stă şi-l aude, se bucură foarte mult de glasul mirelui. Prin urmare această bucurie a mea este deplină. 30 El trebuie să crească, iar eu să mă micşorez.[m]

31 Cel Ce vine de sus este deasupra tuturor. Cel ce vine de pe pământ este pământesc şi vorbeşte lucruri de pe pământ[n]. Cel Ce vine din cer este deasupra tuturor. 32 El depune mărturie despre ceea ce a văzut şi a auzit, dar nimeni nu primeşte mărturia Lui. 33 Cel ce primeşte mărturia Lui confirmă că Dumnezeu este adevărat[o]. 34 Căci Cel pe Care L-a trimis Dumnezeu vorbeşte cuvintele lui Dumnezeu, pentru că Dumnezeu[p] nu-I dă Duhul cu măsură. 35 Tatăl Îl iubeşte pe Fiul şi a dat toate lucrurile în mâna Lui. 36 Cel ce crede în Fiul are viaţa veşnică, dar cel ce nu crede în Fiul[q] nu va vedea viaţa, ci mânia lui Dumnezeu rămâne peste el.
