Yohana 7
1 Ni kogon kpi biyi Yesu zren kagon mi gbu Galili, ni tu wa ana son ri ni mi ingbu Yahudiya nitu Yahudawa ba mla ki si gben ndi ba wu'u.
After these things Jesus continued to move about in Galilee, since He did not wish to move about in Judea because the Jews were wanting to kill Him.
2 U igan idin u Yahudawa tewhire.
Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was near.
3 U miri vayi ma ba hla niwu, “Lunde hi ni Yahudiya ni ndu almajeran me ndu ba to ikpi wa u si tre ba'a.
So His brothers said to Him: “Leave here and go up into Judea so your disciples also may see the works that you are doing,
4 Idiori, nati kperi ririna inde ani son ndu indji ndu ba to wawuu, nitu wa u tie ikpi biyi u tsoro tume ni rira ni ngbungbulu'a
because no one does anything in secret while he actually wants to be in evidence. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world!”
5 Nitu wa imri vayi ma me bana kpanyime niwu na.
For not even His brothers were believing into Him.
6 Yesu hla ni bawu, iton mu na tsira rina, ka iton bi ni he ni tan.
So Jesus says to them: “My time is not here yet, but your time is always available.
7 Gbungbulu'a ba na ya kamba niyi na, a kama ni me nitu wa mi hla ni bawu andi indu a hi memme.
The world cannot hate you, but does hate me, because I testify about it that its works are malignant.
8 Bika lunde hi ni idin, ime mi na hi na iton mu tsira rina.
You guys go up to this feast; I am not going up yet to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come.”
9 Ni kogon iwa a hla ikpi biyi, a kuk'ri ni Galili.
So upon saying these things to them He stayed on in Galilee.
10 Ni kogon wa imiri vayi ma ba hi ni rira na.
Now when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He too went up, not openly but in secret like.
11 Nitu iwa Yahudawa ba si wa'u ni bubu indji'a, nani minye, a he ni ntsen?
So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and saying, “Where is he?”
12 Rju, rju itre ba he nituma gbugbu'u nimi kuson'a, bari mba tre a hi Indji ndindi, “Ahi Ndji u toh ti.” Bari mba ba tisan, andi an, an aye kpa soron ndji ni kasran.
And there was a lot of murmuring about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is good”; others were saying, “On the contrary, he's deceiving the people.”
13 Ni naki me idiori na tre ni rira ni tumana nitu sisir Yahudawa.
However, no one was talking openly about Him for fear of the Jews.
14 Niwa ba ri igan indji ka ri ni zuzma, u Yesu lu ri ye hekali na (fara) ni tsroroba.
Now when the feast was already half over Jesus went up into the temple and started to teach.
15 Yahudawa ba luni ti sisir na ni tre, “Ani he iguyi he ni bibi kpran gbugbu'u na yi? Iwa na hi ni magrata na.
And the Jews were marveling saying, “How is this man learned, not having been educated?”
16 Yesu kasa ni bawu, “Itsroro mu'a ana umu na, a u Indji wa a ton me ye'a.”
So Jesus answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but His who sent me.
17 Indji wa ani son ti kpi iwa ani son'a ani ya to tsoro mu'a ko a rji ni Irji, ko mi tre u mu kimu.
If anyone wants to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.
18 Ko inha wa ani tre u tuma, ani wa kpandema mu, ko ahi nha iwa awa kpande Indji iwa a ton me, Indji ki a wu njanji, ikpiri meme ma na he niwu na.
Someone who speaks on his own is seeking his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
19 Musa na nuyi ndu na? Ni naki iriri ni mi mbi ana hu ndu'a na. U ahi geri mba ni yoyui ni ndu yi wu me?
“Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law! Why do you want to kill me?”
20 Ison indji ba hla niwu, “U he ni brji. Ahi nha mba ni son wu'u?”
The crowd answered and said, “You must have a demon! Who wants to kill you?”
21 Yesu hla bawu, mi ti indu iriri migen, u bi ti sisir wawu mbi.
Jesus answered and said to them: “I did one work, and you all marvel.
22 Musa noyi ji (ana ri ni Musa na, a rji ni ba Ti-Iti, Tima), ni ivi u Asabar bi no indji iji.
Consider this: Moses gave you circumcision (not that it comes from Moses, but from the patriarchs), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
23 Indji nita kpa ji, ni ivi u asabar nitu, nduba na lahtre ni du Musa na, ahi ngeri mba noyi infu ni wa ndi mi chu lilo wawu rju ni indji wa a hi lo'a ni ivi asabar?
If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Law of Moses won't be broken, are you angry at me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?
24 Na tron ni ya shishi na, tron ni u njanji.”
Stop judging on the basis of appearances, but judge the righteous judgment.”
25 Bari mba rji ni Urushelima ba tre, “Iwa ana indji iwa ki si wa ndi ki wu ana?
Now some of the Jerusalemites were saying: “Isn't this the man they are wanting to kill?
26 To, a tre dedeme, u ba na tre kperi meniwu na. Ana bi na ni ndu bi chu ndi ba to a ndi i wayi a hi Kristi na, ka ana naki na?
Yet look! He is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to Him. Could it be true that the rulers know that this is really the Christ?
27 Naki, kito i wurji iwa a rji. Ni ton iwa Kristi ni ye, idiori ana to iwurji wa ani rji'a na.”
On the other hand, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ comes nobody knows where He is from.”
28 Yesu tre ngbngban me ni mi heke li'a na ni tsoro ba na ni tre, “Bi to me ni to i wurji iwa mi rji. Mina ye ni tu muna, mi ye nitu indji wa a ton ye a hi njanji biyi bina to wu na.
So Jesus called out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You do know me, and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own, but the One who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
29 Ime mi to mi rji ni wawuyi, a wawuyi ton me.”
I do know Him because I am from Him, and He sent me.”
30 Balu ni son vu u diori na ya bre wo niwu na iton na tsira rina.
So they tried to arrest Him, yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.
31 Indji gbugbu ni mi mba ba kpa nyeme niwu, u ba tre, “Yesu ni ta ye, ani ti zan wayi wa ndi ati ba yi?
Now many of the crowd were believing into Him, and they were saying, “Whenever the Christ comes He won't perform more signs than these which this man has done, will He?”
32 Farisawa ba wo indji ba tre toto nitu Yesu, Malami bi nikon ni Farisawa ba ton bi gben ndu ba hi vu.
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Him, so the Pharisees and the chief priests sent operatives to arrest Him.
33 Yesu tre, “Miri he ni yi za mi ni vi ton ni k'ban hi ni Indji wa a ton Me.
Then Jesus said: “For a little while I am still with you, and then I go to the One who sent me.
34 Bi wa me bi na to mena, bubu iwa mi hi'a, bina ya hina.
You will look for me and not find me; also, where I am you cannot come.”
35 Yahudawa ba lu ni miyen kpamba, ani tsen iguyi ni hi wa kina ya hi to'a na? Ko ani hi ni Helinawa ba si yar ani hi tsoro Helinawa?
So the Jews said among themselves: “Where does this fellow intend to go that we won't find him? He doesn't intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does he?
36 A hi lan birime a ni tre naki, bi wa me u bina to me na, iwurji me hi'a na, bina ya hi na?”
What word is this that he spoke, ‘You will look for me and not find me’; also, ‘where I am you cannot come’?”
37 Ni vi u kekle'a, ki kle ivi u idin, Yesu lu kri kri na yar yin gbangban, na hla, “Indji wa lan ma nita ni tiwu wa ka ye nime na so.
Now on the last and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood up and called out saying: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
38 Indji wa a kpayenme ni me, ina wa itre Irji'a a la, ni mi ma iba u re (iviri) ba gukbon ni mi ne ma.”
The one believing into me, just as the Scripture has said, out from his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.”
39 A tre naki nitu Ruhu (Ibrji ndindi), ni biwa ba kpa yeme niwu'a iki ba kpa, bana nu Ruhu (ibrji) rina, nitu wa bana gbre Yesu san rina.
(Now He said this about the Spirit, whom those believing into Him were going to receive, in that the Holy Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)
40 Bari ni mi son'a ba lan tre ba naki, na tre, gbigbi iwa yin a hi ana ebi yi.”
So upon hearing this word many from the crowd began to say, “This One really is ‘the Prophet’!”
41 Bari ba tre, iwayi a hi Almasihu.” U bari ba tre, “Almasihu ni rji ni Galili?
Others were saying, “This One is the Christ!” Others were saying: “Surely the Christ isn't coming out of Galilee, is He?
42 Nda tre Irji hla Almasihu ni rji ni mi mla Dauda ni Batalami na, rji ni mi vi gbu wa Dauda rji?
Doesn't the Scripture say that the Christ comes out of the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”
43 U ba ga kpa ni mi son nitu ma.
So there developed a division in the crowd because of Him.
44 Wa bari mba ba vu, idiori na yowo na.
Further, some of them were wanting to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
45 Niki bi gben'a ba kaban ye ni Firistoci bi nonkon'a ni Farisawa biwa ba tre, “Ahi ngyeri sa bina njiwu ye na?
Then the operatives came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why haven't you brought him?”
46 Bi gben ba tre, ko diori na ti bre tre nayi.
The operatives answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
47 Farisawa ba sa ni bawa, “Ba kpayi kasran?
So the Pharisees answered them: “You haven't been fooled too, have you?
48 Ka iri ni mi chuba a kpanyeme niwu, ka ni mi Farisawa?
None of the rulers or the Pharisees have believed into him, have they?
49 Indji bi son yi ba na to tron na, ba ti meme ye.
But this crowd that doesn't know the law is accursed!”
50 Nikodimus hla ni bawu, wawu wa a ye ni Yesu, ni ri ni mi Farisawa,
Nicodemus (the one who came to Him at night, being one of them) says to them,
51 Indu mbu tre ni ndu fu ton nidi ndi ri ni wo ikpe iwa a ti'a?
“Our law doesn't judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing, does it?”
52 U ba minye, iwume u rji ni Galili? ban ya ni hla anibi wa ani ya rji Galili'a.
They answered and said to him: “You aren't from Galilee too, are you? Search and see that no prophet has ever arisen out of Galilee.”
53 Niki indji wawu ba lu shan hi ni ko'mba.
So each one went to his own house.
