Johana 3
1 Ne nitie ngʼat moro ma ja-Farisai ma nyinge Nikodemo, ne en achiel kuom jobuch jo-Yahudi.
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewish people.
2 Nikodemo nobiro ir Yesu gotieno mowachone niya, “Rabi, wangʼeyo ni in japuonj moa ka Nyasaye, nimar onge ngʼama nyalo timo ranyisi mag honni mitimogi ka Nyasaye ok ni kode.”
This man came to him at 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 Yesu nodwoke kawacho niya, “Awachoni adier, ni onge ngʼama nyalo neno pinyruoth Nyasaye ka ok onywole nywol manyien.”
Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
4 Nikodemo nopenje niya, “Ere kaka inyalo nywol ngʼato kosebedo ngʼama duongʼ? Adier, bende dochak odog ei min mare mi chak nywole kendo!”
Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
5 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Awachoni adier ni onge ngʼama nyalo donjo e pinyruoth Nyasaye ka ok onywole gi pi kod Roho Maler.
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
6 Ringruok nywolo mana ringruok, to Roho nywolo roho.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Ok onego ibwogi kuom gima awacho ni, ‘Nyaka nywoli nywol manyien.’
Do not be surprised that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
8 Yamo futo kochomo kuma ohero, kendo inyalo winje, to ok inyal nyiso kuma oaye kata kuma odhiye. Mano bende e gima timore ni ngʼato ka ngʼato monywol kuom Roho.”
The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
9 Nikodemo nopenje niya, “Gigo nyalo timore kamano nade?”
Nicodemus answered and said to him, "How can these things be?"
10 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ere kaka ok iwinj tiend wechegi, to in japuonj jo-Israel?
Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
11 Anyisi adier ni wawuoyo kuom gik mwangʼeyo, kendo watimo neno kuom gik mwaseneno; to un, to pod utamoru rwako neno marwa.
Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, but you do not accept our testimony.
12 Asewuoyo kodu mana kuom gik manie pinyni, to utamoru yie; koro ubiro yie nade ka awuoyo kuom gik manie polo?
If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13 Onge ngʼato angʼata mosedhi e polo makmana Jal mane olor oa e polo, ma en Wuod Dhano.
And no one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
14 Mana kaka Musa nochungo thuol e thim, e kaka Wuod Dhano bende ibiro chungo,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
so that everyone who believes in him may have life without end. (aiōnios g166)
16 “Nikech Nyasaye nohero piny ahinya, omiyo nochiwo Wuode ma miderma, mondo ngʼato angʼata moyie kuome kik lal, to obed gi ngima mochwere. (aiōnios g166)
For this is how God loved the world: he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have life without end. (aiōnios g166)
17 Nimar Nyasaye ne ok ooro Wuode e piny mondo ongʼad ne piny bura, to noore mondo ores piny.
For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
18 Ngʼato angʼata moyie kuome ok nobed gi bura. To ngʼat ma ok oyie kuome bura oseloyo, nikech pok oyie kuom nying Wuowi ma miderma mar Nyasaye.
The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
19 Ma e gima bura osengʼado: Ler osebiro e piny, to ji nohero mudho moloyo ler, nikech timbegi ne richo.
This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their works were evil.
20 Ngʼato ka ngʼato matimo richo ok dwar ler, kendo ok odwar donjo ei ler, nikech oluor ni dipo ka timbene ongʼere.
For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works will not be exposed.
21 To ngʼato angʼata mawuotho e adiera donjo e ler, mondo onere maler ni gik motimo duto gin gik ma Nyasaye oyiego.”
But the one who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
22 Bangʼ mano, Yesu gi jopuonjrene nodhi e gwenge mag piny Judea, kendo nokawo kinde mogwarore kodgi kuno, kobatiso ji.
After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them, and was baptizing.
23 To Johana bende ne batiso ji Ainon machiegni gi Salim, nikech pi ne ngʼeny kanyo, kendo ji nosiko ka biro ire mondo obatisgi.
Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came, and were baptized.
24 (Mano notimore ka Johana ne pok oter e od twech.)
For John was not yet thrown into prison.
25 Mino wach nochakore e kind jopuonjre Johana moko gi ja-Yahudi moro kuom wach mar pwodhruok.
Now a dispute arose between John's disciples with a Jew about purification.
26 Negibiro ir Johana mi giwachone niya, “Rabi, jal manyocha ni kodi loka Jordan, ma en Jal mane iwuoyo kuome cha, parie ni en bende tinde obatiso ji, kendo ji duto dhi ire.”
And they came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, look, he is baptizing, and everyone is coming to him."
27 Johana nodwokogi niya, “Onge gima ngʼato nyalo yudo makmana mano momiye koa e polo.
John answered, "No one can receive anything, unless it has been given to him from heaven.
28 Un uwegi unyalo timo neno ni ne anyisou ni, ‘An ok an Kristo, to an ngʼat moor mondo otel nyime.’
You yourselves bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent before him.'
29 Miaha en mar wuon kisera. Jachungʼ mar wuon kisera nyaka chik ite ne wuon kisera kendo winje; opongʼ gi mor kowinjo dwond wuon kisera kawuoyo. An ema an gi mor machal kamano, kendo mornano koro oromo chuth.
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. So this joy of mine is now complete.
30 En ema nyaka omed yudo duongʼ moloyo, to an nyaka adog piny.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 “Jal moa e polo malo duongʼ moloyo gik moko duto, to ngʼat monywol e piny en mar piny, kendo owuoyo kaka ngʼama onywol e piny. Jal moa e polo duongʼ moloyo gik moko duto.
He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
32 Otimo neno kuom gik moseneno kendo owinjo, to onge ngʼama orwako nende.
What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness.
33 Ngʼat moyie ni wechene gin adier, biro ngʼeyo malongʼo ni Nyasaye en ja-adiera.
He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
34 Nimar Jal ma Nyasaye oseoro wacho weche Nyasaye, nikech Nyasaye chiwo Rohone mogundho ma ok ongʼwonyo lwete.
For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for he does not give the Spirit by measure.
35 Wuoro ohero Wuowi, kendo oseketo gik moko duto e lwete.
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
