Vangelo secondo Giovanni - John 3

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Ητο δε ανθρωπος τις εκ των Φαρισαιων, Νικοδημος ονομαζομενος, αρχων των Ιουδαιων.	1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2 Ουτος ηλθε προς τον Ιησουν δια νυκτος και ειπε προς αυτον? Ραββι, εξευρομεν οτι απο Θεου ηλθες διδασκαλος? διοτι ουδεις δυναται να καμνη τα σημεια ταυτα, τα οποια συ καμνεις, εαν δεν ηναι ο Θεος μετ' αυτου.	2 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.
3 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτον? Αληθως, αληθως σοι λεγω, εαν τις δεν γεννηθη ανωθεν, δεν δυναται να ιδη την βασιλειαν του Θεου.	3 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.
4 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Νικοδημος? Πως δυναται ανθρωπος να γεννηθη γερων ων; μηποτε δυναται να εισελθη δευτεραν φοραν εις την κοιλιαν της μητρος αυτου και να γεννηθη;	4 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?
5 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους? Αληθως, αληθως σοι λεγω, εαν τις δεν γεννηθη εξ υδατος και Πνευματος, δεν δυναται να εισελθη εις την βασιλειαν του Θεου.	5 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.
6 Το γεγεννημενον εκ της σαρκος ειναι σαρξ και το γεγεννημενον εκ του Πνευματος ειναι πνευμα.	6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 Μη θαυμασης οτι σοι ειπον, Πρεπει να γεννηθητε ανωθεν.	7 Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.
8 Ο ανεμος οπου θελει πνεει, και την φωνην αυτου ακουεις, αλλα δεν εξευρεις ποθεν ερχεται και που υπαγει? ουτως ειναι πας, οστις εγεννηθη εκ του Πνευματος.	8 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.
9 Απεκριθη ο Νικοδημος και ειπε προς αυτον? Πως δυνανται να γεινωσι ταυτα;	9 Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?
10 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτον? Συ εισαι ο διδασκαλος του Ισραηλ και ταυτα δεν εξευρεις;	10 Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Αληθως, αληθως σοι λεγω οτι εκεινο το οποιον εξευρομεν λαλουμεν και εκεινο το οποιον ειδομεν μαρτυρουμεν, και την μαρτυριαν ημων δεν δεχεσθε.	11 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.
12 Εαν τα επιγεια σας ειπον και δεν πιστευητε, πως, εαν σας ειπω τα επουρανια, θελετε πιστευσει;	12 If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?
13 Και ουδεις ανεβη εις τον ουρανον ειμη ο καταβας εκ του ουρανου, ο Υιος του ανθρωπου, ο ων εν τω ουρανω.	13 And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
14 Και καθως ο Μωυσης υψωσε τον οφιν εν τη ερημω, ουτω πρεπει να υψωθη ο Υιος του ανθρωπου,	14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 δια να μη απολεσθη πας ο πιστευων εις αυτον, αλλα να εχη ζωην αιωνιον.	15 That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.
16 Διοτι τοσον ηγαπησεν ο Θεος τον κοσμον, ωστε εδωκε τον Υιον αυτου τον μονογενη, δια να μη απολεσθη πας ο πιστευων εις αυτον, αλλα να εχη ζωην αιωνιον.	16 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.
17 Επειδη δεν απεστειλεν ο Θεος τον Υιον αυτου εις τον κοσμον δια να κρινη τον κοσμον, αλλα δια να σωθη ο κοσμος δι' αυτου.	17 For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
18 Οστις πιστευει εις αυτον δεν κρινεται, οστις ομως δεν πιστευει ειναι ηδη κεκριμενος, διοτι δεν επιστευσεν εις το ονομα του μονογενους Υιου του Θεου.	18 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.
19 Και αυτη ειναι η κρισις, οτι το φως ηλθεν εις τον κοσμον, και οι ανθρωποι ηγαπησαν το σκοτος μαλλον παρα το φως? διοτι ησαν πονηρα τα εργα αυτων.	19 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.
20 Επειδη πας, οστις πραττει φαυλα, μισει το φως και δεν ερχεται εις το φως, δια να μη ελεγχθωσι τα εργα αυτου?	20 For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
21 οστις ομως πραττει την αληθειαν, ερχεται εις το φως, δια να φανερωθωσι τα εργα αυτου οτι επραχθησαν κατα Θεον.	21 But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.
22 Μετα ταυτα ηλθεν ο Ιησους και οι μαθηται αυτου εις την γην της Ιουδαιας, και εκει διετριβε μετ' αυτων και εβαπτιζεν.	22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
23 Ητο δε και ο Ιωαννης βαπτιζων εν Αινων πλησιον του Σαλειμ, διοτι ησαν εκει υδατα πολλα, και ηρχοντο και εβαπτιζοντο?	23 And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
24 Επειδη ο Ιωαννης δεν ητο ετι βεβλημενος εις την φυλακην.	24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Εγεινε λοιπον συζητησις περι καθαρισμου παρα των μαθητων του Ιωαννου με Ιουδαιους τινας.	25 And there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews concerning purification:
26 Και ηλθον προς τον Ιωαννην και ειπον προς αυτον? Ραββι, εκεινος οστις ητο μετα σου περαν του Ιορδανου, εις τον οποιον συ εμαρτυρησας, ιδου, ουτος βαπτιζει και παντες ερχονται προς αυτον.	26 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.
27 Απεκριθη ο Ιωαννης και ειπε? Δεν δυναται ο ανθρωπος να λαμβανη ουδεν, εαν δεν ηναι δεδομενον εις αυτον εκ του ουρανου.	27 John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
28 Σεις αυτοι εισθε μαρτυρες μου οτι ειπον? Δεν ειμαι εγω ο Χριστος, αλλ' οτι ειμαι απεσταλμενος εμπροσθεν εκεινου.	28 You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 Οστις εχει την νυμφην ειναι νυμφιος? ο δε φιλος του νυμφιου, ο ισταμενος και ακουων αυτον, χαιρει καθ' υπερβολην δια την φωνην του νυμφιου. Αυτη λοιπον η χαρα η ιδικη μου επληρωθη.	29 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.
30 Εκεινος πρεπει να αυξανη, εγω δε να ελαττονωμαι.	30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 Ο ερχομενος ανωθεν ειναι υπερανω παντων. Ο ων εκ της γης εκ της γης ειναι και εκ της γης λαλει? ο ερχομενος εκ του ουρανου ειναι υπερανω παντων,	31 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.
32 και εκεινο το οποιον ειδε και ηκουσε, τουτο μαρτυρει, και ουδεις δεχεται την μαρτυριαν αυτου.	32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 Οστις δεχθη την μαρτυριαν αυτου επεσφραγισεν οτι ο Θεος ειναι αληθης.	33 He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 Διοτι εκεινος, τον οποιον απεστειλεν ο Θεος, τους λογους του Θεου λαλει? επειδη ο Θεος δεν διδει εις αυτον το Πνευμα με μετρον.	34 For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
35 Ο Πατηρ αγαπα τον Υιον και παντα εδωκεν εις την χειρα αυτου.	35 The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.
36 Οστις πιστευει εις τον Υιον εχει ζωην αιωνιον? οστις ομως απειθει εις τον Υιον δεν θελει ιδει ζωην, αλλ' η οργη του Θεου μενει επανω αυτου.	36 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.
