YLT
Young's Literal Translation
There was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews :
And
there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his
name
, a ruler of the Jews ,
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.
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. '
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 .
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 ;'
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?
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? '
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 .
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 ;
That which is
born of the flesh is flesh ;
and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit.
that which hath
been
born of the flesh is flesh ,
and that which hath
been
born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel
not that I said unto
thee, Ye
must
be born again.
`Thou
mayest
not wonder
that I said to
thee, It
behoveth
you
to
be born from
above;
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.
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. '
Nicodemus answered and said unto
him, How can
these things be
?
Nicodemus answered and said to
him, `
How are
these things able
to
happen
? '
Jesus answered and said unto
him, Art
thou a
master
of Israel ,
and knowest
not
these things ?
Jesus answered and said to
him, `
Thou art
the
teacher
of Israel --
and these things thou
dost
not
know!
Verily, verily, I say unto
thee ,
We speak
that
we do
know
, and testify
that
we have seen ;
and ye receive
not our
witness.
`
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;
If I
have
told
you
earthly things, and ye believe
not, how shall
ye
believe
, if I tell
you of
heavenly things?
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
?
And no man
hath ascended
up to heaven, but
he that
came down from
heaven,
even
the Son of man which
is in heaven.
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 as Moses lifted
up the serpent in the wilderness, even
so must
the Son of man be lifted up :
`
And as Moses did
lift
up the serpent in the wilderness, so it
behoveth
the Son of Man to
be lifted up ,
That whosoever
believeth
in him should
not perish, but have eternal
life .
that every
one
who
is
believing
in him may
not perish, but may
have life age-during,
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.
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
.
For God sent
not his Son into
the world to
condemn
the world ;
but that the world through
him
might
be saved .
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;
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.
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.
And this is the condemnation
, that light is
come into
the world, and men loved
darkness rather than light, because
their deeds
were evil .
`
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 ;
For every one that
doeth
evil
hateth the light, neither
cometh
to
the light, lest
his deeds
should
be reproved.
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;
But he that
doeth
truth cometh
to the light, that his deeds
may be made
manifest
, that they are wrought in
God
.
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. '
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into
the land of Judaea;
and there he tarried
with them, and baptized.
After these things came Jesus and his disciples to
the land of Judea,
and there he did
tarry
with them, and was
baptizing;
And John also
was baptizing in Aenon near
to Salim
, because there was
much
water
there :
and they came,
and were baptized .
and John was also
baptizing in Aenon ,
nigh
to Salem
, because there were
many
waters
there ,
and they were
coming
and were being
baptized --
For John was not yet cast into prison .
for John was not yet cast into the
prison --
Then
there arose a question between
some
of
John's
disciples
and
the Jews about purifying .

a question from
the disciples
of
John
with
`some'
Jews about purifying ,
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.
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. '
John answered and said, A man can
receive nothing
, except
it be
given him from heaven .
John answered and said, `
A man is
not
able
to
receive anything
, if
it may
not
have
been
given him from the
heaven ;
Ye yourselves bear
me witness,
that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him .
ye yourselves do
testify
to
me that I said, I am not the Christ, but ,
that I am having
been
sent before him ;
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.
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
must
increase, but
I
must
decrease.
`Him
it
behoveth
to
increase, and
me
to
become
less;
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.
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.
And what he hath seen and heard ,
that
he testifieth;
and no
man
receiveth
his testimony .
`
And what he hath seen and heard this
he doth
testify,
and his testimony none
receiveth;
He that
hath
received
his testimony hath
set
to
his
seal that God is true .
he who
is
receiving
his testimony did
seal that God is true ;
For he whom God hath
sent speaketh
the words
of God :
for God
giveth
not the
Spirit
by measure unto
him.
for he whom God sent ,
the sayings
of God he
speaketh;
for not by measure doth
God
give
the
Spirit;
The Father loveth
the Son, and hath
given
all things into his hand .
the Father doth
love
the Son, and all things hath
given
into his hand ;
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.
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. '
