John 3
1 Now there was one of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus--a ruler among the Jews.
Ne nitie ngʼat moro ma ja-Farisai ma nyinge Nikodemo, ne en achiel kuom jobuch jo-Yahudi.
2 He came to Jesus by night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher from God; for no one can do these miracles which you are doing, unless God is 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 "In most solemn truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless a man is born anew 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 "How is it possible," Nicodemus asked, "for a man to be born when he is old? Can he a second time enter his mother's womb and be born?"
Nikodemo nopenje niya, “Ere kaka inyalo nywol ngʼato kosebedo ngʼama duongʼ? Adier, bende dochak odog ei min mare mi chak nywole kendo!”
5 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter 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 Whatever has been born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
Ringruok nywolo mana ringruok, to Roho nywolo roho.
7 Do not be astonished at my telling you, 'You must all be born anew.'
Ok onego ibwogi kuom gima awacho ni, ‘Nyaka nywoli nywol manyien.’
8 The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is it with every one who has been 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 "How is all this possible?" asked Nicodemus.
Nikodemo nopenje niya, “Gigo nyalo timore kamano nade?”
10 "Are you," replied Jesus, "'the Teacher of Israel,' and yet do you not understand these things?
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ere kaka ok iwinj tiend wechegi, to in japuonj jo-Israel?
11 In most solemn truth I tell you that we speak what we know, and give testimony of that of which we were eye-witnesses, and yet you all reject 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 told you earthly things and none of you believe me, how will you believe me if I tell you of things in Heaven?
Asewuoyo kodu mana kuom gik manie pinyni, to utamoru yie; koro ubiro yie nade ka awuoyo kuom gik manie polo?
13 There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose home is in Heaven.
Onge ngʼato angʼata mosedhi e polo makmana Jal mane olor oa e polo, ma en Wuod Dhano.
14 And just as Moses lifted high 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 so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have the Life of Ages. (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 did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
Nimar Nyasaye ne ok ooro Wuode e piny mondo ongʼad ne piny bura, to noore mondo ores piny.
18 He who trusts in Him does not come up for judgement. He who does not trust has already received sentence, because he has not his trust resting on the name of God's only Son.
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 test by which men are judged--the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than they loved the Light, because their deeds were wicked.
Ma e gima bura osengʼado: Ler osebiro e piny, to ji nohero mudho moloyo ler, nikech timbegi ne richo.
20 For every wrongdoer hates the light, and does not come to the light, for fear his actions should be exposed and condemned.
Ngʼato ka ngʼato matimo richo ok dwar ler, kendo ok odwar donjo ei ler, nikech oluor ni dipo ka timbene ongʼere.
21 But he who does what is honest and right comes to the light, in order that his actions may be plainly shown to have been 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 this Jesus and His disciples went into Judaea; and there He made a stay in company 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 too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there were many pools of water there; and people came and received baptism.
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 in prison.)
(Mano notimore ka Johana ne pok oter e od twech.)
25 As the result, a discussion having arisen on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purification,
Mino wach nochakore e kind jopuonjre Johana moko gi ja-Yahudi moro kuom wach mar pwodhruok.
26 they came to John and reported to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan and to whom you bore testimony is now baptizing, and great numbers of people are resorting 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 "A man cannot obtain anything," replied John, "unless it has been granted to him from Heaven.
Johana nodwokogi niya, “Onge gima ngʼato nyalo yudo makmana mano momiye koa e polo.
28 You yourselves can bear witness to my having said, 'I am not the Christ,' but 'I am His appointed forerunner.'
Un uwegi unyalo timo neno ni ne anyisou ni, ‘An ok an Kristo, to an ngʼat moor mondo otel nyime.’
29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; and the bridegroom's friend who stands by his side and listens to him, rejoices heartily on account of the bridegroom's happiness. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete.
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 grow greater, but I must grow less.
En ema nyaka omed yudo duongʼ moloyo, to an nyaka adog piny.
31 He who comes from above is above all. He whose origin is from the earth is not only himself from the earth, his teaching also is from the earth. He who comes 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 What He has seen and heard, to that He bears witness; but His testimony no one receives.
Otimo neno kuom gik moseneno kendo owinjo, to onge ngʼama orwako nende.
33 Any man who has received His testimony has solemnly declared that God is true.
Ngʼat moyie ni wechene gin adier, biro ngʼeyo malongʼo ni Nyasaye en ja-adiera.
34 For He whom God has sent speaks God's words; for God does not give the Spirit with limitations."
Nimar Jal ma Nyasaye oseoro wacho weche Nyasaye, nikech Nyasaye chiwo Rohone mogundho ma ok ongʼwonyo lwete.
35 The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything to His hands.
Wuoro ohero Wuowi, kendo oseketo gik moko duto e lwete.
