John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews,
And there was a man of the Farisees, Nychodeme bi name, a prince of the Jewis.
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.'
And he cam to Jhesu bi niyt, and seide to hym, Rabi, we witen, that thou art comun fro God maister; for no man may do these signes, that thou doist, but God be with hym.
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;'
Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun ayen, he may not se the kyngdom 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?'
Nychodeme seide to hym, Hou may a man be borun, whanne he is eeld? whether he may entre ayen in to his modris wombe, and be borun ayen?
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;
Jhesus answeride, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun ayen of watir, and of the Hooli Goost, he may not entre in to the kyngdom of God.
6 that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit.
`That that is borun of the fleisch, is fleisch; and `that that is borun of spirit, is spirit.
7 'Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above;
Wondre thou not, for Y seide to thee, It bihoueth you to be borun ayen.
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.'
The spirit brethith where he wole, and thou herist his vois, but thou wost not, fro whennus he cometh, ne whidir he goith; so is ech man that is borun of the spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, 'How are these things able to happen?'
Nychodeme answeride, and seide to hym, Hou moun these thingis be don?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, 'Thou art the teacher of Israel — and these things thou dost not know!
Jhesus answeride, and seide to hym, Thou art a maister in Israel, and knowist not these thingis?
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;
Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, for we speken that that we witen, and we witnessen that that we han seyn, and ye taken not oure witnessyng.
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?
If Y haue seid to you ertheli thingis, and ye bileuen not, hou if Y seie to you heueneli thingis, schulen ye bileue?
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.
And no man stieth in to heuene, but he that cam doun fro heuene, mannys sone that is in heuene.
14 'And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up,
And as Moises areride a serpent in desert, so it bihoueth mannys sone to be reisid,
15 that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during, (aiōnios g166)
that ech man that bileueth in hym, perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf. (aiōnios g166)
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. (aiōnios g166)
For God louede so the world, that he yaf his `oon bigetun sone, that ech man that bileueth in him perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf. (aiōnios g166)
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;
For God sente not his sone in to the world, that he iuge the world, but that the world be saued bi 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.
He that bileueth in hym, is not demed; but he that bileueth not, is now demed, for he bileueth not in the name of the `oon bigetun sone 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;
And this is the dom, for liyt cam in to the world, and men loueden more derknessis than liyt; for her werkes weren yuele.
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;
For ech man that doith yuele, hatith the liyt; and he cometh not to the liyt, that hise werkis be not repreued.
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.'
But he that doith treuthe, cometh to the liyt, that hise werkis be schewid, that thei ben don in God.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing;
Aftir these thingis Jhesus cam, and hise disciplis, in to the loond of Judee, and there he dwellide with hem, and baptiside.
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 —
And Joon was baptisinge in Ennon, bisidis Salym, for many watris weren there; and thei camen, and weren baptisid.
24 for John was not yet cast into the prison —
And Joon was not yit sent in to prisoun.
25 there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
Therfor a questioun was maad of Jonys disciplis with the Jewis, of the purificacioun.
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.'
And thei camen to Joon, and seiden `to hym, Maister, he that was with thee biyonde Jordan, to whom thou hast borun witnessyng, lo! he baptisith, and alle men comen to hym.
27 John answered and said, 'A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven;
Joon answerde, and seide, A man may not take ony thing, but it be youun to hym fro heuene.
28 ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him;
Ye you silf beren witnessyng to me, that Y seide, Y am not Crist, but that Y am sent bifore hym.
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.
He that hath a wijf, is the hosebonde; but the freend of the spouse that stondith, and herith hym, ioieth with ioye, for the vois of the spouse. Therfor in this thing my ioye is fulfillid.
30 'Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less;
It bihoueth hym to wexe, but me to be maad lesse.
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.
He that cam from aboue, is aboue alle; he that is of the erthe, spekith of the erthe; he that cometh from heuene, is aboue alle.
32 'And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;
And he witnessith that thing that he hath seie, and herde, and no man takith his witnessing.
33 he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;
But he that takith his witnessyng, hath confermyd that God is sothefast.
34 for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;
But he whom God hath sent, spekith the wordis of God; for not to mesure God yyueth the spirit.
35 the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;
The fadir loueth the sone, and he hath youun alle thingis in his hoond.
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.' (aiōnios g166)
He that bileueth in the sone, hath euerlastynge lijf; but he that is vnbileueful to the sone, schal not se euerlastynge lijf, but the wraththe of God dwellith on hym. (aiōnios g166)
