Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Now there was a man of the Perushim named Nakdimon, a ruler of the Yehudim.
1
And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews,
2 The same came to him by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."
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 Yeshua answered him, "Most assuredly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can't see the kingdom of God."
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 Nakdimon said 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?"
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 Yeshua answered, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the kingdom of God!
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 is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
6
that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Don't marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.'
7
`Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above;
8 The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don't know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
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 Nakdimon answered him, "How can these things be?"
9
Nicodemus answered and said to him, `How are these things able to happen?'
10 Yeshua answered him, "Are you the teacher of Yisra'el, and don't understand these things?
10
Jesus answered and said to him, `Thou art the teacher of Israel -- and these things thou dost not know!
11 Most assuredly I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, and you don't receive our witness.
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 I told you earthly things and you don't believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
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 No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
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 As Moshe lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
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 whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
15
that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
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 didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
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 believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
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 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
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 everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, for fear that his works would be reproved.
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 does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
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, Yeshua came with his talmidim into the land of Yehudah. He stayed there with them, and immersed.
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 Yochanan also was immersing in Einayim near Shalem, because there was much water there. They came, and were immersed.
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 Yochanan was not yet thrown into prison.
24
for John was not yet cast into the prison --
25 There arose therefore a questioning on the part of Yochanan's talmidim with some Yehudim about purification.
25
there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
26 They came to Yochanan, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Yarden, to whom you have testified, behold, the same immerses, and everyone is coming to him."
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 Yochanan answered, "A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given him from heaven.
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 You yourselves testify that I said, 'I am not the Messiah,' but, 'I have been sent before him.'
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 has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. This, my joy, therefore is made full.
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 He must increase, but I must decrease.
30
`Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less;
31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the Eretz belongs to the Eretz, and speaks of the Eretz. He who comes from heaven is above all.
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 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
32
`And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;
33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
33
he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;
34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.
34
for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
35
the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;
36 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
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.'
