John 1
1 In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Kar chakruok, Wach ne nitie, kendo Wach ne ni kod Nyasaye, kendo Wach ne en Nyasaye.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Ne en gi Nyasaye nyaka aa chakruok.
3 All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being.
En ema nomiyo gik moko duto ochwe; kendo ka dine onge en, to onge gima dine ochwe mosechwe.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Ngima ne ni kuome, kendo ngimano ne en ler ni ji.
5 And the light appears in darkness, and the darkness apprehended it not.
Lerno rieny ei mudho, to mudho pok oime.
6 There was a man sent from God, his name John.
Nyasaye nooro ngʼat moro ma nyinge Johana.
7 He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him.
Nobiro kaka janeno mondo otim nend lerno, mondo kanyalore to ji duto oyie kuom lerno.
8 He was not the light, but that he might witness concerning the light.
Johana owuon ne ok en ler nogo, to nobiro mana kaka janeno mar lerno.
9 The true light was that which, coming into the world, lightens every man.
Ler mar adier machiwo ler ni ji duto noyudo biro e piny e kindeno.
10 He was in the world, and the world had [its] being through him, and the world knew him not.
Ne en e piny, to kata obedo ni en ema nomiyo ochwe piny, to piny ne ok ongʼeye.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not;
Nobiro ir joge owuon, to joge ne ok orwake.
12 but as many as received him, to them gave he [the] right to be children of God, to those that believe on his name;
To ji duto mane orwake, mi oyie kuome, nomiyogi teko mar doko nyithind Nyasaye,
13 who have been born, not of blood, nor of flesh's will, nor of man's will, but of God.
ma gin nyithindo mane ok onywol koa e koth dhano, kata kuom pach dhano, kata kuom dwach dichwo, to nonywolgi kuom Nyasaye.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth;
Wach nodoko dhano kendo nodak kodwa. Waseneno duongʼne, ma en duongʼ mar Wuowi ma Miderma, ma noa ka Wuoro kopongʼ gi ngʼwono kod adiera.
15 (John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me; )
Johana notimo neno kuome. Nokok matek kowacho niya, “Ma e Jal mane awuoyo kuome kane awachonu ni, ‘Jal mabiro bangʼa oloya mabor nikech ne entie kapok ne abetie.’”
16 for of his fulness we all have received, and grace upon grace.
Waduto waseyudo gweth mogundho kuom ngʼwonone mathoth.
17 For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth subsists through Jesus Christ.
Chik nochiw kokalo kuom Musa, to ngʼwono kod adiera, to Yesu Kristo ema nokelo.
18 No one has seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
Onge ngʼama oseneno Nyasaye, to Wuowi ma Miderma machiegni gi Wuoro ema osemiyo wangʼeye.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou?
Ma e neno mane Johana otimo ka jo-Yahudi modak Jerusalem nooro jodolo gi jo-Lawi mondo openje ni ne en ngʼa.
20 And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am not the Christ.
Johana ne ok opandonegi gimoro, to nohulonigi ka en thuolo niya, “Ok an Kristo.”
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
Negipenje niya, “Kare in ngʼa? In Elija koso?” To nowacho niya, “Ok an.” “Koso in e janabi?” Nodwoko niya, “Ooyo.”
22 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
Eka negiwachone mogik niya, “Kare, in ngʼa? Miwa dwoko mondo water ni joma ne oorowa. Iwacho angʼo kuomi in iwuon?”
23 He said, I [am] [the] voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the path of [the] Lord, as said Esaias the prophet.
Johana nodwokogi gi weche mag Isaya Janabi niya, “An e ngʼat makok e thim ni, ‘Losuru yo moriere tir ne Jehova Nyasaye.’”
24 And they were sent from among the Pharisees.
To jo-Farisai moko ma noor,
25 And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
nopenje niya, “Ka ok in Kristo, kata Elija, kata janabi, to angʼo momiyo ibatiso ji?”
26 John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,
Johana nodwokogi niya, “An abatisou gi pi, to nitie ngʼato e dieru ma ukia.
27 he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose.
En Jal mabiro bangʼa, ma ok awinjora gonyo tond wuochene.”
28 These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.
Magi duto notimore Bethania, loka mar aora Jordan, kuma Johana ne batisoe ji.
29 On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
Kinyne Johana noneno Yesu kabiro ire, mi nowacho niya, “Neuru, Jalcha e Nyarombo mar Nyasaye, magolo richo mar piny!
30 He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he was before me;
Ma e jal mane awuoyo kuome kane awacho ni, ‘Ngʼato mabiro bangʼa oloya mabor, nikech ne entie kapok ne abetie.’
31 and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.
An awuon ne ok angʼeye, to gimomiyo ne abiro ka abatiso ji gi pi ne en mondo ofwenyre ni Israel.”
32 And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
Eka Johana notimo nenoni kama: “Ne aneno Roho kalor piny koa e polo e kido mar akuru kendo kapiyo kuome.
33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, he said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with [the] Holy Spirit.
Ka dine Jal mane oora mondo abatis ji gi pi we nyisa, to dine ok angʼeye. Nonyisa ni, ‘Ngʼama ineno ka Roho olor mi opiyo kuome e Jal mabiro batiso ji gi Roho Maler.’
34 And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.
Koro aseneno mano kotimore omiyo anyisou ni en Wuod Nyasaye.”
35 Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples.
Kinyne Johana ne ni kanyo kendo gi jopuonjrene ariyo.
36 And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.
Kane gineno ka Yesu kalo machiegni, nowacho niya, “Neuru, Jalcha e Nyarombo mar Nyasaye!”
37 And the two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus.
Kane jopuonjrene ariyogo owinjo kowacho mano, negiluwo bangʼ Yesu.
38 But Jesus having turned, and seeing them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which, being interpreted, signifies Teacher), where abidest thou?
Yesu nolokore monenogi ka giluwo bangʼe, mi nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo mudwaro?” Negiwachone niya, “Rabi” (ma tiende ni “Japuonj”), “idak kanye?”
39 He says to them, Come and see. They went therefore, and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
Nodwokogi niya, “Biuru mondo udhi une.” Omiyo negidhi mine gineno kama ne odakie, kendo negibet kode kanyo odiechiengʼ ngima. Ne en kar sa apar mar odhiambo.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard [this] from John and followed him.
Andrea mowadgi Simon Petro ne en achiel kuom ji ariyo mane owinjo gima Johana nowacho mi noluwo bangʼ Yesu.
41 He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messias (which being interpreted is Christ).
Gima Andrea notimo mokwongo ne en manyo owadgi ma Simon kendo nyise niya, “Waseyudo Mesia” (tiende ni Kristo).
42 And he led him to Jesus. Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which interpreted is stone).
Omiyo nokelo Simon ir Yesu. Yesu nongʼiye tir mowachone niya, “In Simon wuod Johana, chiengʼ moro noluongi ni Kefa” (tiende ni Petro).
43 On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee, and Jesus finds Philip, and says to him, Follow me.
Kinyne Yesu nongʼado e pache mondo oa odhi Galili. Kane oyudo Filipo, nowachone niya, “Luwa.”
44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Filipo, mana kaka Andrea gi Petro, ne aa e dala mar Bethsaida.
45 Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.
Filipo noyudo Nathaniel mowachone niya, “Waseyudo ngʼat ma Musa nondiko kuome e kitap Chik, kendo ma jonabi bende nondiko kuome, ma en Yesu ja-Nazareth, ma wuod Josef.”
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.
Nathaniel nopenje niya, “Bende gima ber moro amora nyalo aa Nazareth adier?” Filipo nodwoke niya, “Bi mondo ine.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold [one] truly an Israelite, in whom there is no guile.
Kane Yesu oneno Nathaniel ka biro kochomo ire, nowuoyo kuome kowacho niya, “Neuru ja-Israel adier, maonge miganga moro amora kuome.”
48 Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
Nathaniel nopenje niya, “Ingʼeya nade?” Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ne aneni sa ma ne in e tiend ngʼowu, kane pok Filipo oluongi.”
49 Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.
Eka Nathaniel nodwoke niya, “Rabi, in Wuod Nyasaye adier; in Ruodh Israel.”
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
Yesu nowachone niya, “Iyie mana nikech aa wachoni ni nende aneni e tie yiend ngʼowu. To ibiro neno gik madongo mohingo mano.”
51 And he says to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
Eka nomedo wacho niya, “Awachonu adier ni ubiro neno ka polo oyawore, kendo ka malaike mag Nyasaye idho kendo lor kuom Wuod Dhano.”
