1 Johana 3
1 Mano kaka hera ma Wuoro oherowago duongʼ kuom luongowa ni nyithind Nyasaye. Kendo mano e gima wan! Gimomiyo piny, ok ongʼeyowa en nikech piny ne ok ongʼeye.
See what love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God; because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
2 Osiepena mageno, koro wan nyithind Nyasaye, to kaka wabiro bedo achien pok ongʼere. To wangʼeyo ni ka Kristo nofwenyre, to wanabed machal kode, nikech wananene kaka ochal.
Beloved, now, we are children of God, and it was not yet revealed what we will be. We have known that if He may have appeared, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is;
3 Ngʼato ka ngʼato man-gi genoni pwodhore owuon mondo osik koler mana kaka en bende oler.
and everyone who is having this hope on Him, purifies himself, even as He is pure.
4 Ji matimo richo ketho chik; chutho, richo en ketho chik.
Everyone who is doing sin, he also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,
5 To ungʼeyo ni Kristo nobiro mondo ogol richowa. Ungʼeyo bende ni richo onge kuome.
and you have known that He appeared that He may take away our sins, and sin is not in Him;
6 Ngʼat man kuom Kristo ok sik katimo richo. Ngʼat mosiko katimo richo pok onene kendo okiaye.
everyone who is remaining in Him does not sin; everyone who is sinning, has not seen Him, nor known Him.
7 Nyithinda mageno, kik uyie ngʼato wuondu. Ngʼat matimo gima kare en ngʼama kare, mana kaka en bende en ngʼama kare.
Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous,
8 Ngʼat mosiko katimo richo en ngʼat Satan, nikech Satan osiko katimo richo nyaka aa chakruok. Gimomiyo Wuod Nyasaye nobiro ne en ni mondo otiek tich Satan.
he who is doing sin, he is of the Devil, because the Devil sins from the beginning; for this [reason] the Son of God appeared, that He may undo the works of the Devil;
9 Ngʼama Nyasaye onywolo ok dhi nyime katimo richo, nikech kit Nyasaye osiko kuome. Ok onyal timo richo onywole kuom Nyasaye.
everyone who has been begotten of God, he does not sin, because His seed remains in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been begotten of God.
10 Kaka wanyalo ngʼeyo pogruok manie kind nyithind Nyasaye gi nyithind Satan ema: Ngʼat ma ok tim gima kare kendo ma ok ohero owadgi ok en nyathi Nyasaye.
In this are revealed the children of God, and the children of the Devil; everyone who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,
11 Wach mane uwinjo nyaka aa chakruok ema: Nyaka waherreuru ngʼato gi ngʼato.
because this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we may love one another,
12 Kik wachal gi Kain mane en koth ngʼama rach, omiyo nonego owadgi mahie. To nonego owadgi nangʼo? Nonego owadgi nikech timbene ne richo, to timbe owadgi ne ni kare.
not as Cain—he was of the evil one, and he slew his brother. And for [what] reason did he slay him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother [were] righteous.
13 Kuom mano, owetena kik ubwogi ka jopiny mon kodu.
Do not wonder, my brothers, if the world hates you;
14 Wangʼeyo ni wasekalo waa e tho miwadonjo e ngima, nikech wahero owetewa. Ngʼama ok ohero owadgi osiko e tho.
we have known that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers; he who is not loving [his] brother remains in death.
Everyone who is hating his brother is a manslayer, and you have known that no manslayer has continuous life remaining in him; (aiōnios g166)
16 Ma e kaka wangʼeyo gima hera en; Kristo nochiwonwa ngimane. Wan bende onego wachiw ngimawa ni owetewa.
in this we have known love, because He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brothers;
17 Ka ngʼato jamoko to oneno owadgi kochando to ok okeche, ere kaka ngʼama kamano nyalo wacho ni en gihera mar Nyasaye?
and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his yearnings from him—how does the love of God remain in him?
18 Nyithinda mageno, kik wawach mana gi dhowa ni wahero ji, to waher ji gi tim kendo gi adiera.
My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in work and in truth!
19 Mano e yo ma wangʼeyogo ni wachungʼ e adiera, kendo mabiro miyo chunywa bed gi chir e nyim Nyasaye
And in this we know that we are of the truth, and before Him we will assure our hearts,
20 sa moro amora ma chunywa ngʼadonwa bura. Nikech Nyasaye duongʼ moloyo chunywa, kendo ongʼeyo gik moko duto.
because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He knows all things.
21 Omiyo, osiepega mageno, ka chunywa ok ngʼadnwa bura to wan gi chir e nyim Nyasaye.
Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,
22 To wayudo koa kuome, gimoro amora mwakwaye nikech wamako chikene kendo watimo gik mamore.
and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commands, and we do the things pleasing before Him,
23 To ma e chik Nyasaye: ni mondo wayie e nying Wuode Yesu Kristo kendo mondo waherre ngʼato gi ngʼato, mana kaka Kristo nochikowa.
and this is His command, that we may believe in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He gave command to us,
24 Joma orito chike Nyasaye ni kuome to en bende en kuomgi. To ma e kaka wangʼeyo ni Nyasaye odak eiwa: Wangʼeyo nikech Roho ma osemiyowa.
and he who is keeping His commands, remains in Him, and He in him; and in this we know that He remains in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.
