Evangelium secundum Joannem

Erat autem homo ex pharisæis, Nicodemus nomine, princeps Judæorum.

And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

Es autem homine ex pharisaeos, Nicodemo nomine, principe de Iudaeos.

Hic venit ad Jesum nocte, et dixit ei: Rabbi, scimus quia a Deo venisti magister, nemo enim potest hæc signa facere, quæ tu facis, nisi fuerit Deus cum eo.

This man came to Jesus by night and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.

Hoc veni ad Iesu nocte, et dic ad illo: rabbi, sci quia ab Deo veni magistro, nemo nam pote hoc signos facere, te fac que, nisi es Deo cum eo.

Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit denuo, non potest videre regnum Dei.

Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Iesu responde, et dic ad illo: amen, amen dic ad te, nisi qui rene es denuo, non pote videre regno de Deo.

Dicit ad eum Nicodemus: Quomodo potest homo nasci, cum sit senex? numquid potest in ventrem matris suæ iterato introire et renasci?

Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born again?

Nicodemo ad illo dic: quomodo homine pote nasce, cum es sene? Numquid pote in ventre de matre suo iterato introi et renascor?

Respondit Jesus: Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit ex aqua, et Spiritu Sancto, non potest introire in regnum Dei.

Jesus answered: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Iesu responde: amen, amen dic ad te, nisi qui rene es ex aqua, et Spiritu Sancto, non pote introi in regno de Deo.

Quod natum est ex carne, caro est: et quod natum est ex spiritu, spiritus est.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh: and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Quod nasce es ex carne, carne es: et quod nasce es ex spiritu, spiritu es.

Non mireris quia dixi tibi: oportet vos nasci denuo.

Wonder not that I said to thee: You must be born again.

Non miror quia dic ad te: debe vos nasce denuo.

Spiritus ubi vult spirat, et vocem ejus audis, sed nescis unde veniat, aut quo vadat: sic est omnis qui natus est ex spiritu.

The Spirit breatheth where he will and thou hearest his voice: but thou knowest not whence he cometh and whither he goeth. So is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Spiritu ubi vol spira, et voce de illo audi, sed ne sci unde que veni, aut quo vade: sic es omni qui nato es ex spiritu.

Respondit Nicodemus, et dixit ei: Quomodo possunt hæc fieri?

Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be done?

Nicodemo responde, et dic ad illo: quomodo pote hoc fieri?

Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Tu es magister in Israël, et hæc ignoras?

Jesus answered and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?

Iesu responde, et dic ad illo: te es magistro in Israële, et hoc ignora?

Amen, amen dico tibi, quia quod scimus loquimur, et quod vidimus testamur, et testimonium nostrum non accipitis.

Amen, amen, I say to thee that we speak what we know and we testify what we have seen: and you receive not our testimony.

Amen, amen dic ad te, quia quod sci loque, et quod vide testor, et testimonio nostro non accipe.

Si terrena dixi vobis, et non creditis: quomodo, si dixero vobis cælestia, credetis?

If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not: how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?

Si terreno dic ad vos, et non crede: quomodo, si dic ad vos caelesti, crede?

Et nemo ascendit in cælum, nisi qui descendit de cælo, Filius hominis, qui est in cælo.

And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

Et nemo ascende in caelo, nisi qui descende de caelo, Filio de homine, qui es in caelo.

Et sicut Moyses exaltavit serpentem in deserto, ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis:

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:

Et sicut Moyse exalta serpente in deserto, ita exalta debe Filio de homine:

ut omnis qui credit in ipsum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam.

That whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting.

Ut omni qui crede in ipso, non peri, sed que habe vita aeterno.

Sic enim Deus dilexit mundum, ut Filium suum unigenitum daret: ut omnis qui credit in eum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam.

For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting.

Sic nam Deo dilige mundo, ut Filio suo unigenito da: ut omni qui crede in illo, non peri, sed que habe vita aeterno.

Non enim misit Deus Filium suum in mundum, ut judicet mundum, sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum.

For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him.

Non nam Deo mitte Filio suo in mundo, ut iudica mundo, sed ut mundo salva per ipso.

Qui credit in eum, non judicatur; qui autem non credit, jam judicatus est: quia non credit in nomine unigeniti Filii Dei.

He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Qui crede in illo, non iudica; qui autem non crede, jam iudica es: quia non de Filio in nomine unigenito de Deo crede.

Hoc est autem judicium: quia lux venit in mundum, et dilexerunt homines magis tenebras quam lucem: erant enim eorum mala opera.

And this is the judgment: Because the light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.

Hoc es autem iudicio: quia luce veni in mundo, et homines dilige magis tenebras quam luce: es nam de illos malo operes.

Omnis enim qui male agit, odit lucem, et non venit ad lucem, ut non arguantur opera ejus:

For every one that doth evil hateth the light and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.

Omni nam qui male age, ode luce, et non veni ad luce, ut non operes de illo argue:

qui autem facit veritatem, venit ad lucem, ut manifestentur opera ejus, quia in Deo sunt facta.

But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest: because they are done in God.

Qui autem fac veritate, veni ad luce, ut operes de illo manifesta, quia in Deo es facto.

Post hæc venit Jesus et discipuli ejus in terram Judæam: et illic demorabatur cum eis, et baptizabat.

After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them and baptized.

Post hoc Iesu et discipulos de illo veni in terra Iudaea: et ibi demoror cum illos, et baptiza.

Erat autem et Joannes baptizans, in Ænnon, juxta Salim: quia aquæ multæ erant illic, et veniebant et baptizabantur.

And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim: because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized.

Et autem Ioanne es baptiza, in Aennone, juxta Salime: quia aquas multo es ibi, et veni et baptiza.

Nondum enim missus fuerat Joannes in carcerem.

For John was not yet cast into prison.

Non adhuc nam misso es Ioanne in carcere.

Facta est autem quæstio ex discipulis Joannis cum Judæis de purificatione.

And there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews, concerning purification.

Facto es autem quaestione ex discipulos de Ioanne cum Iudaeos de purificatione.

Et venerunt ad Joannem, et dixerunt ei: Rabbi, qui erat tecum trans Jordanem, cui tu testimonium perhibuisti, ecce hic baptizat, et omnes veniunt ad eum.

And they came to John and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony: behold, he baptizeth and all men come to him.

Et veni ad Ioanne, et dic ad illo: rabbi, qui es tecum trans Iordane, ad que te perhibe testimonio, ecce hoc baptiza, et omni veni ad illo.

Respondit Joannes, et dixit: Non potest homo accipere quidquam, nisi fuerit ei datum de cælo.

John answered and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.

Ioanne responde, et dic: non homine pote accipe ullo, nisi es ad illo dato de caelo.

Ipsi vos mihi testimonium perhibetis, quod dixerim: Non sum ego Christus: sed quia missus sum ante illum.

You yourselves do bear me witness that I said that I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.

Ipso vos ad me perhibe testimonio, quod dic: non es me Christo: sed quia misso es ante illo.

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 the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth Him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.

Qui habe sponsa, sponso es: amico autem de sponso, qui sta, et audi illo, gaudio gaude propter voce de sponso. Hoc ergo gaudio meo imple es.

Illum oportet crescere, me autem minui.

He must increase: but I must decrease.

Illo debe cresce, me autem minue.

Qui desursum venit, super omnes est. Qui est de terra, de terra est, et de terra loquitur. Qui de cælo venit, super omnes est.

He that cometh from above is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from heaven is above all.

Qui desurso veni, super omni es. Qui es de terra, de terra es, et de terra loque. Qui de caelo veni, super omni es.

Et quod vidit, et audivit, hoc testatur: et testimonium ejus nemo accipit.

And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.

Et quod vide, et audi, hoc testor: et nemo accipe testimonio de illo.

Qui accepit ejus testimonium signavit, quia Deus verax est.

He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

Qui accipe de illo testimonio signa, quia Deo verace es.

Quem enim misit Deus, verba Dei loquitur: non enim ad mensuram dat Deus spiritum.

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.

Deo nam mitte quem, verbos de Deo loque: non nam ad mensura Deo da spiritu.

Pater diligit Filium et omnia dedit in manu ejus.

The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.

Patre dilige Filio et omni da in manu de illo.

Qui credit in Filium, habet vitam æternam; qui autem incredulus est Filio, non videbit vitam, sed ira Dei manet super eum.

He that believeth in the Son hath life everlasting: but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Qui crede in Filio, habe vita aeterno; qui autem incredulus es ad Filio, non vide vita, sed ira de Deo mane super illo.
