John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
Ne nitie ngʼat moro ma ja-Farisai ma nyinge Nikodemo, ne en achiel kuom jobuch jo-Yahudi.
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.
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.”
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.
Yesu nodwoke kawacho niya, “Awachoni adier, ni onge ngʼama nyalo neno pinyruoth Nyasaye ka ok onywole nywol manyien.”
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?
Nikodemo nopenje niya, “Ere kaka inyalo nywol ngʼato kosebedo ngʼama duongʼ? Adier, bende dochak odog ei min mare mi chak nywole kendo!”
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.
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Awachoni adier ni onge ngʼama nyalo donjo e pinyruoth Nyasaye ka ok onywole gi pi kod Roho Maler.
6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
Ringruok nywolo mana ringruok, to Roho nywolo roho.
7 Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.
Ok onego ibwogi kuom gima awacho ni, ‘Nyaka nywoli nywol manyien.’
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.
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.”
9 Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?
Nikodemo nopenje niya, “Gigo nyalo timore kamano nade?”
10 Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ere kaka ok iwinj tiend wechegi, to in japuonj jo-Israel?
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.
Anyisi adier ni wawuoyo kuom gik mwangʼeyo, kendo watimo neno kuom gik mwaseneno; to un, to pod utamoru rwako neno marwa.
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?
Asewuoyo kodu mana kuom gik manie pinyni, to utamoru yie; koro ubiro yie nade ka awuoyo kuom gik manie polo?
13 And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
Onge ngʼato angʼata mosedhi e polo makmana Jal mane olor oa e polo, ma en Wuod Dhano.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Mana kaka Musa nochungo thuol e thim, e kaka Wuod Dhano bende ibiro chungo,
mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato moyie kuome obed gi ngima mochwere. (aiōnios g166)
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. (aiōnios g166)
“Nikech Nyasaye nohero piny ahinya, omiyo nochiwo Wuode ma miderma, mondo ngʼato angʼata moyie kuome kik lal, to obed gi ngima mochwere. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
Nimar Nyasaye ne ok ooro Wuode e piny mondo ongʼad ne piny bura, to noore mondo ores piny.
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.
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.
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.
Ma e gima bura osengʼado: Ler osebiro e piny, to ji nohero mudho moloyo ler, nikech timbegi ne richo.
20 For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.
Ngʼato ka ngʼato matimo richo ok dwar ler, kendo ok odwar donjo ei ler, nikech oluor ni dipo ka timbene ongʼere.
21 But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.
To ngʼato angʼata mawuotho e adiera donjo e ler, mondo onere maler ni gik motimo duto gin gik ma Nyasaye oyiego.”
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
Bangʼ mano, Yesu gi jopuonjrene nodhi e gwenge mag piny Judea, kendo nokawo kinde mogwarore kodgi kuno, kobatiso ji.
23 And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.
To Johana bende ne batiso ji Ainon machiegni gi Salim, nikech pi ne ngʼeny kanyo, kendo ji nosiko ka biro ire mondo obatisgi.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
(Mano notimore ka Johana ne pok oter e od twech.)
25 And there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews concerning purification:
Mino wach nochakore e kind jopuonjre Johana moko gi ja-Yahudi moro kuom wach mar pwodhruok.
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.
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.”
27 John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
Johana nodwokogi niya, “Onge gima ngʼato nyalo yudo makmana mano momiye koa e polo.
28 You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
Un uwegi unyalo timo neno ni ne anyisou ni, ‘An ok an Kristo, to an ngʼat moor mondo otel nyime.’
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.
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.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
En ema nyaka omed yudo duongʼ moloyo, to an nyaka adog piny.
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.
“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.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.
Otimo neno kuom gik moseneno kendo owinjo, to onge ngʼama orwako nende.
33 He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.
Ngʼat moyie ni wechene gin adier, biro ngʼeyo malongʼo ni Nyasaye en ja-adiera.
34 For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
Nimar Jal ma Nyasaye oseoro wacho weche Nyasaye, nikech Nyasaye chiwo Rohone mogundho ma ok ongʼwonyo lwete.
35 The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.
Wuoro ohero Wuowi, kendo oseketo gik moko duto e lwete.
