Yuhana 7
1 Kimal ni lenge imone Yesu uni wa wasu ucin udu u Galili, na awa di ninsu a dofin nanya Yahudiya, bara a Yahudawa wa din pizuru nwo imolughe.
After those things happened, Jesus went around in Galilee [province]. He did not want to travel in Judea [province], because he knew that the Jewish [leaders there] were wanting to kill him.
2 Kubin idi na Yahudawa, u idi na danga wa dak susut.
But when the time of the Jewish celebration [called] ‘Celebration of [Living in] Shelters’ was near,
3 Nuana me woroghe, “suna kikane udo u Yahudiya, bara nono katwafe nan yene katwa kanga na udin sue.
Jesus’ [younger] brothers said to him, “[Since many people] here [have left you], you should leave and go to Judea [province and perform] some miracles there, so that your disciples may see them!
4 Na umong din su imonmong liyeshin ba, andi ame litime di nin su iyinin ghe. Andi udi su ile imone, durso litife nanya nyie”
No one who wants to become famous does things secretly. [You say] you are doing these miracles, [so do some miracles there] so that everyone [MTY] can see them!”
5 Bara inung nauna me wang wa yinin nighe ba.
[They said this critically], because even [though they were] his own [younger] brothers, they did not believe he [was from God].
6 Yesu uni wa belin nani, “Na kubi ninghe nsa da ba, anung dinin kubi ko kishi.
So Jesus said to them, “It is not yet time for me [MTY] [to go to the celebration]. For you, any time is right [to go to the celebration].
7 Na uyie was unari minu ba, ama unari meng ku bara nna ni ushaida liti nnin kitene lidu linanzang nnin.
[The people] [MTY] [who] ([do not believe in me/do not belong to God]) cannot hate you, but they hate me because I tell them that what they are doing is evil.
8 Anung can kitin ide; na meng ba du kiti idi ulele ba, bara na kubi nighe nsa kulo ba.”
You [(pl)] go ahead to the celebration. I am not going up [to Jerusalem] to the celebration [yet], because now is not the right time for me [to go].”
9 KImal nbellu nani nleli ulirue, amini wa so in Galili.
After he said that, Jesus stayed [a little longer] in Galilee.
10 Vat nani na nuane nya udu kitin ide, ame tutung nya na nin yiru nanit ba, likire.
However, [a few days] after his younger brothers left to go up to the celebration, he went also. He went, along with [us] disciples, but no others went with us.
11 A Yahudawa wa pizurughe kitin ide, i woro. “Adin nwe?”
At the celebration, the Jewish [leaders] were looking for him. They were asking people, “Has Jesus come?”
12 Anit wa su uliru litime kan. Among woro. “Unit ucinari ame” Among woro “Nanere ba, adin wultunu nanitari.”
Among the crowds, many people were whispering about Jesus. Some were saying, “He is a good man!” But others were saying instead, “No! He is deceiving the crowds!”
13 Vat nani na umong wa su uliru litime kanang ba, bara fiu na Yahudawa.
But no one was speaking so that others could hear them, because they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
14 Na u idi wa dak susut nmalu, Yesu do nanya kutii nlira adin dursuzu nanit ku.
In the middle of the days of the celebration, Jesus went to the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach people.
15 A Yahudawa wa su umamaki i woro, “Ita iyizari unit ulele di nin yiru kang? Na asa do kutii ndursuzu, idursuzoghe ba.”
The Jewish [elders] were amazed [at what he was saying]. They said, “This man never studied [in one of our religious schools]! So (how can he have learned [so much about Scripture]?/it is difficult for us to believe that he has learned [so much about Scripture]!) [RHQ]”
16 Yesu kawa nani aworo, “Imon ile na ndin dursuzue na inaghari ba, in lenge na a toyiari.
Jesus replied to them, “What I teach does not come from myself. It comes from [God], the one who sent me.
17 Andi umong dinin su asu imon kibinai nnit une, ama yinnu ubellen nlenge udursuzue, sa una dak unuzu kiti Kutelle, sa ndin su uliru bara lit ningahri.
Those who choose to do what God wants will find out whether what I teach comes from God or whether I am speaking with [only] my own [authority].
18 Ulenge na adin su uliru bara litime adin pizuru ngongon litime, ame ulenge na adin pizuru ngongong nlenge na ana tughe, unit une unan kidegenari, ana udiru katwa kacine dinghe ba.
Those who speak with [only] their own [authority] do that [only] so that others will honor them. But I am [doing things so that others] will honor the one who sent me, and I am someone who speaks the truth. I never lie.
19 Na Musari wa nimu uduke ba. Vat nani na umong mine din dortu uduke ba. Iyaghari nta idi nin su imoli?”
[Think about] the laws that Moses gave you [RHQ]. None of you [completely] obeys those laws. So why are you trying to kill me, [saying I do not obey the laws concerning] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest])?”
20 Ligozin kawaghe, “Udi nin kugbergenu. Ghari dinin su amolufi?”
Someone in the crowd answered, “[By saying this you show that] you are crazy (OR, A demon is controlling you)! Certainly no one is trying to kill you!”
21 Yesu kawa nani a woro, “Nna su nkan katwa vat mine ani na lanza nzikiki kanin.
Jesus replied to them, “Because I did a miracle [of healing someone] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), you are all shocked.
22 Musa na niminu ukalzu nacuru (Na una nuzu kitin Musere ba, kiti na Cif nburnuari), inani asa kala unit kucuru liri na Sabbat.
Moses gave you [a law that you must] circumcise [the male children and that you must do that exactly seven days after they are born. Actually], it was your ancestors, [Abraham and Isaac and Jacob], not Moses, who [started that ritual]. But because of that law, you sometimes circumcise them (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), [but that is working, too]
23 Asa ikala unit kucuru liri na Sabbat bara iwa patilin udukan Musa, iyaghari nta idin lanzu ayi ninmi kitene nwo nshino nin nit liri na Sabbat?
You [sometimes] circumcise boys (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) so that the law of Moses is not disobeyed {[you] do not disobey the law of Moses}, so (it is ridiculous that you are angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man!/why are you angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man?) [RHQ] [Healing someone is far more helpful than circumcising a baby boy]!
24 Na iwa su ushara bara u yenju nmuro ba, sun usharawe nin fiu Kutelle.”
Stop deciding whether my healing this man is wrong according to what you see! Instead, decide according to what is really the right action [to help people]”!
25 Among mine anan Urshalima woro, “Na amere ulengene na idin pizuru imolu ba?
Some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, “(This is the man that they are trying to kill!/Isn’t this the man that they are trying to kill?) [RHQ]
26 Yeneng, adin liru kanang, ana iworoge iyang ba. Na umaso nafo adidya bite yiru amere Kriste, na nanere ba?
He is saying these things (publicly/in front of many people), but our [Jewish] rulers are not saying anything to [oppose] him. Is that because they have decided that he is truly (the Messiah/God’s chosen king)?
27 Arik yiru kikanga na unit ulele na nuzu ku, asa Kristi nda, na imong ma yinnu kikanga na ana nuzu ba.”
But [he cannot be the Messiah, because] we know where this man came from. When the Messiah really comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
28 Yesu uni wa ghatin liwui kan nanya kutii nlira, ndursuzu kiti a woro, “Anung vat yirue, iyuro kikanga nan nna nuzu ku; na nna dak bara litinin ba, ame ulenge na ana tuyi unan kidegenari, ulenge na iyirughe ba.
[They said that because they thought Jesus was born in Nazareth]. So while Jesus was teaching [people] in the Temple [courtyard], he shouted, “Yes, [you say that] you know me, and [you think] you know [IRO] where I am from. But I have come here not (because I appointed myself/with my own authority). Instead, [God] is the one who truly sent me. You do not know him.
29 Meng yirughe, bara nna dak unuzu kiti mere, amere na tuyi.
But I know him, because I have come from him. He is the one who sent me!”
30 Icizina nworu i kifoghe, na umong nkifoghe ba bara na kubi me wadi kusa da ba.
Then they tried to seize him [because he said that he had come from God]. But no one put their hands on him [to do that], because it was not yet the time [MTY] [for him to die].
31 Nani, among gbardang nanya ligozin wa yinin nighe. I woro “Asa Kristte nda, ama su imon izikiki ikata ilenge na unit ulele nsuwa?”
But many of the crowd believed that he [had come from God]. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he certainly will not do more miracles than this man has done, will he?”
32 Afarisawa lanza ligozin nanite din belu ulenge ulirue litin Yesu, adidya na Yahudawe nin na Farisawa to a dugari idi kifoghe.
The Pharisees heard them whispering these things about him. So they and the chief priests sent some Temple guards to seize him.
33 Yesu tunna a woro, “Ndu nin kubiri bat in yita ligowe nan ghinu, Nma nin du kitin lenge na ana tuyi.
Then Jesus said, “I will be with you for only a short time. Then I will return to the one who sent me.
34 Ima pizirui na ima yeni ba, kiti kanga na nma du, na yinnu idak bak.”
Then you will search for me, but you will not find me. And you will not be able to come to the place where I am.”
35 Ayahudawa tunna nbelu nati mine, “Unit ulengene madu weri ki kanga na arik ma yinnu upizirughe ba? Sa ama du kiti na Helenawari, alenge na isosin buu adi dursuzo nani ti Helenawa?
So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to themselves, “Where is this man about to go with the result that we will not be able to find him? [Some Jewish people have] dispersed [and live] among Greek people. He is not intending to go [and live among them] and teach them, is he?
36 Uyapin uliruiari ulele na a belle, 'ima piziri, ana ima yeni ba; kiti kanga na nma du, na anung ma yinnu udake ba.'?”
When he said ‘You will search for me, but you will not be able to find me,’ and when he said ‘You will not be able to come to the place where I am,’ what [did he mean]?”
37 Nengene liri nimalin idi udya, Yesu wa fita asu uliru nin liwui kang, aworo,”Andi umong dinin kotu nayi na adak kitining ada sono.
[On each of the seven days of the celebration, the high priest poured out some water on the altar in the Temple to remember how God provided water for the people in the desolate area long ago. But the water he poured did not help anyone who was thirsty. So] on the last day of the festival, which was the most important day, Jesus stood up [in the Temple courtyard] and said with a loud voice, “Those who are thirsty should come to me to drink [what I will give them].
38 Ulenge na ayinna nin mi nafo na uliru Kutelle na belli, unuzu nanya me, igawan nmyen nlai ma cun ku.”
Just like the Scriptures teach, streams of water shall flow out from within those who believe in me, and that water will cause them to live [eternally].”
39 Nani awa su uleli ulire litin Ruhu, ulenge na ale na iyinna ninghe ma seru; na iwadi isa na uruhe ba, bara na iwa di isa ta Yesu ku gongong ba.
When Jesus said that, he was referring to [God’s] Spirit, whom those who believed in Jesus would receive later. Up to that time God had not sent the Spirit [to live within believers], because Jesus had not yet [died and returned to his] glorious [home in] heaven, [from where he would send the Spirit].
40 Among ligozin, na iwa lanza uleli ulirre, iworo, “Kidegene ulengene unan liru nin nu Kutelleari.”
When some of the crowd heard those words, they said, “Surely this man is the prophet [whom God promised to send who would be like Moses]!”
41 Among woro, “Ulengenere Kristi.” Among tutung woro, “Iyangha, Kristi ma dak unuzun Galiliaria?
Others said, “He is the Messiah!” But others, [thinking Jesus was born in Galilee], said, “The Messiah will not come from Galilee [province], will he?
42 Na uliru Kutelle na woro Kristi ma dak unuzu fimusun Dauda in Baitalami, ka gbiri kanga na Dauda wa duku?”
(Did [a prophet] not write in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived?/[It is written] in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived!) [RHQ]”
43 Usalin yinnu nin nati fita nanya ligozighe bara ame.
So the people were divided because of [what they thought about] Jesus.
44 Among mine wa dinin su ikifoghe, a nan umong mine tardaghe ucara ba (na umong mine kifoghe ba.)
Some people wanted to seize him, but no one tried [to do that].
45 Adugare tunna i kpilla kiti na didya na Yahudawa nan na Farisawe, inung woro nani, “Iyaghari nta na ida ningheba?”
So the Temple guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees, [the ones who had sent them to arrest Jesus]. They said to the guards, “Why did you not [seize him and] bring him [here]?”
46 Adugare kawa nani, iworo, “Na umong nsa su uliru nafo ulengene ba.”
They replied, “No one ever spoke such [amazing things] as this man does!”
47 Afarisawa kawa nani, iworo “Anung wang iwultun minua?
Then the Pharisees replied, “Have you been deceived {Has [he] deceived you}, too?
48 Umong nanya na Gowe sa Afarisawa nyinna ninghe?
(None of our rulers nor any of us Pharisees have believed that (he [is the Messiah]!/he [came from God]!)/Have any of our [Jewish] rulers or any of us Pharisees believed that (he [is the Messiah]?/he [came from God]?)) [RHQ]
49 Linin ligozin longo na liyiru uduke ba, ita nani unuu.”
Not one! But, on the contrary, some of this crowd [have believed in him]. They do not know [the true teachings of] our laws! They will go to hell [for listening to him]!” (questioned)
50 Nikodimo woro nani, (Umong na awa mang dak kitin Yesu, ame wang ku Farisawari),
Then Nicodemus spoke. He was the one who earlier went to Jesus [at night]. He was also a member of the Jewish council. He said to [the rest of the Council members],
51 “Uduka bite din suzu unit ushara a udutu sa ulanzu kitime iyinnin imong ilenge na adin sua?”
“[We] have not listened to what he says to find out what he is doing. (It is not permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him!/Is it permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him?) [RHQ]”
52 I kawage i woro, “Fe wang kunan Galiliaria? Piziran iyene na umong unan liru nin nuu Kutelle ma dak unuzun Galili ba.”
They replied to him, “(Are you another [disgusting person] from Galilee?/[You talk like] another [disgusting person] from Galilee!) [RHQ] Read [what is written in the Scriptures] You will find that no prophet comes from Galilee [province, like he does]!”
53 Kogha mine nya udu kilari me.
[Then they all left and went to their own homes.
