Johana 3
1 Ne nitie ngʼat moro ma ja-Farisai ma nyinge Nikodemo, ne en achiel kuom jobuch jo-Yahudi.
And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
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 one came to Him by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we have known that You have come from God—a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that You do, if God may not be with him.”
3 Yesu nodwoke kawacho niya, “Awachoni adier, ni onge ngʼama nyalo neno pinyruoth Nyasaye ka ok onywole nywol manyien.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born from above, he is not able to 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 says to Him, “How is a man able to be born, being old? Is he able to enter into the womb of his mother a second time, and to 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 say to you, if anyone may not be born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of God;
6 Ringruok nywolo mana ringruok, to Roho nywolo roho.
that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Ok onego ibwogi kuom gima awacho ni, ‘Nyaka nywoli nywol manyien.’
You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
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 Spirit blows where [that] One wills, and you hear [that] One’s voice, but you have not known from where [that] One comes, and to where [that] One goes; thus is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
9 Nikodemo nopenje niya, “Gigo nyalo timore kamano nade?”
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
10 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ere kaka ok iwinj tiend wechegi, to in japuonj jo-Israel?
Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know 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 say to you, what We have known We speak, and what We have seen We testify, and you do not receive 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 spoke to you of the earthly things, and you do not believe, how, if I will speak to you of the heavenly things, will you believe?
13 Onge ngʼato angʼata mosedhi e polo makmana Jal mane olor oa e polo, ma en Wuod Dhano.
And no one has gone up to Heaven, except He who came down 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, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up,
that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life, (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 God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life. (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 that He may judge the world, but that the world may 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.
he who is believing in Him is not judged, but he who is not believing has been judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Ma e gima bura osengʼado: Ler osebiro e piny, to ji nohero mudho moloyo ler, nikech timbegi ne richo.
And 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;
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 is doing wicked things hates the light, and does not come into the light, that his works may not be detected;
21 To ngʼato angʼata mawuotho e adiera donjo e ler, mondo onere maler ni gik motimo duto gin gik ma Nyasaye oyiego.”
but he who is doing the truth comes into the light, that his works may be revealed, that in God they are having been worked.”
22 Bangʼ mano, Yesu gi jopuonjrene nodhi e gwenge mag piny Judea, kendo nokawo kinde mogwarore kodgi kuno, kobatiso ji.
After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
23 To Johana bende ne batiso ji Ainon machiegni gi Salim, nikech pi ne ngʼeny kanyo, kendo ji nosiko ka biro ire mondo obatisgi.
and John was also immersing in Aenon, near to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being immersed—
24 (Mano notimore ka Johana ne pok oter e od twech.)
for John was not yet cast into the prison—
25 Mino wach nochakore e kind jopuonjre Johana moko gi ja-Yahudi moro kuom wach mar pwodhruok.
there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
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 testified, behold, this One is immersing, and all are coming to Him.”
27 Johana nodwokogi niya, “Onge gima ngʼato nyalo yudo makmana mano momiye koa e polo.
John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given 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 testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having 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 is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing Him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy has been fulfilled.
30 En ema nyaka omed yudo duongʼ moloyo, to an nyaka adog piny.
It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
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 is coming from above is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaks; He who is coming from Heaven is above all.
32 Otimo neno kuom gik moseneno kendo owinjo, to onge ngʼama orwako nende.
And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;
33 Ngʼat moyie ni wechene gin adier, biro ngʼeyo malongʼo ni Nyasaye en ja-adiera.
he who is receiving His testimony sealed 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 sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God 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;
