3:2
Hic venit ad Jesum nocte, et dixit ei : Rabbi, scimus quia a Deo venisti magister, nemo enim potest haec signa facere, quae tu facis, nisi fuerit Deus cum eo.
He came to Jesus 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.”

3:3
Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei : Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit denuo, non potest videre regnum Dei.
Jesus answered him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”
耶穌回答說：「我實實在在地告訴你，人若不重生，就不能見上帝的國。」
3:4
Dicit ad eum Nicodemus : Quomodo potest homo nasci, cum sit senex ? numquid potest in ventrem matris suae iterato introire et renasci ?
Nicodemus 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?”

Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.
耶穌說：「我實實在在地告訴你，人若不是從水和聖靈生的，就不能進上帝的國。
3:6
Quod natum est ex carne, caro est : et quod natum est ex spiritu, spiritus est.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
從肉身生的就是肉身；從靈生的就是靈。
3:7
Non mireris quia dixi tibi : oportet vos nasci denuo.
Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must all be born anew.’
我說：『你們必須重生』，你不要以為希奇。
3:8
Spiritus ubi vult spirat, et vocem ejus audis, sed nescis unde veniat, aut quo vadat : sic est omnis qui natus est ex spiritu.
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.”
風隨着意思吹，你聽見風的響聲，卻不曉得從哪裏來，往哪裏去；凡從聖靈生的，也是如此。」

Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”

我實實在在地告訴你，我們所說的是我們知道的；我們所見證的是我們見過的；你們卻不領受我們的見證。
3:12
Si terrena dixi vobis, et non creditis : quomodo, si dixero vobis caelestia, credetis ?
If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
我對你們說地上的事，你們尚且不信，若說天上的事，如何能信呢？
3:13
Et nemo ascendit in caelum, nisi qui descendit de caelo, Filius hominis, qui est in caelo.
No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
除了從天降下、仍舊在天的人子，沒有人升過天。
3:14
Et sicut Moyses exaltavit serpentem in deserto, ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis :
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
摩西在曠野怎樣舉蛇，人子也必照樣被舉起來，
3:15
ut omnis qui credit in ipsum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam aeternam.
that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

3:17
Non enim misit Deus Filium suum in mundum, ut judicet mundum, sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum.
For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
因為上帝差他的兒子降世，不是要定世人的罪 ，乃是要叫世人因他得救。
3:18
Qui credit in eum, non judicatur ; qui autem non credit, jam judicatus est : quia non credit in nomine unigeniti Filii Dei.
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.
信他的人，不被定罪；不信的人，罪已經定了，因為他不信上帝獨生子的名。
3:19
Hoc est autem judicium : quia lux venit in mundum, et dilexerunt homines magis tenebras quam lucem : erant enim eorum mala opera.
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.
光來到世間，世人因自己的行為是惡的，不愛光，倒愛黑暗，定他們的罪就是在此。
3:20
Omnis enim qui male agit, odit lucem, et non venit ad lucem, ut non arguantur opera ejus :
For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
凡作惡的便恨光，並不來就光，恐怕他的行為受責備。
3:21
qui autem facit veritatem, venit ad lucem, ut manifestentur opera ejus, quia in Deo sunt facta.
But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
但行真理的必來就光，要顯明他所行的是靠上帝而行。」

3:29
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 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. Therefore my joy is made full.
娶新婦的就是新郎；新郎的朋友站着，聽見新郎的聲音就甚喜樂。故此，我這喜樂滿足了。
3:30
Illum oportet crescere, me autem minui.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
他必興旺，我必衰微。」
3:31
Qui desursum venit, super omnes est. Qui est de terra, de terra est, et de terra loquitur. Qui de caelo venit, super omnes est.

Et quod vidit, et audivit, hoc testatur : et testimonium ejus nemo accipit.
What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
他將所見所聞的見證出來，只是沒有人領受他的見證。
3:33
Qui accepit ejus testimonium signavit, quia Deus verax est.
He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
那領受他見證的，就印上印，證明上帝是真的。
3:34
Quem enim misit Deus, verba Dei loquitur : non enim ad mensuram dat Deus spiritum.
For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.
