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 travel about in Galilee, for he did not wish to go about in Judea, because the Jews kept trying to kill him.
2 U igan idin u Yahudawa tewhire.
When the time of the Jewish feast of Tabernacles drew 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.
his brothers said to him. "Leave here and go into Judea, so that your disciples also may behold the works which 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
"For no one ever does anything in secret if he himself seeks to be known publicly. If you are performing these signs, show yourself openly to the world."
5 Nitu wa imri vayi ma me bana kpanyime niwu na.
For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
6 Yesu hla ni bawu, iton mu na tsira rina, ka iton bi ni he ni tan.
"My time is not yet come," said Jesus, "but your time is always at hand.
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 me it does hate, because I am bearing testimony against it, that its ways are wicked.
8 Bika lunde hi ni idin, ime mi na hi na iton mu tsira rina.
Do you go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fully come."
9 Ni kogon iwa a hla ikpi biyi, a kuk'ri ni Galili.
After saying this, he remained in Galilee; but after his brothers had gone up to feast,
10 Ni kogon wa imiri vayi ma ba hi ni rira na.
then he went too - not openly, but as it were a secret.
11 Nitu iwa Yahudawa ba si wa'u ni bubu indji'a, nani minye, a he ni ntsen?
The Jews meanwhile kept looking for him at feast, and saying, "Where is he?" "I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.
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 much disputing about him among the crowd. Some would say, "He is a good man." Others. "No! he is misleading the people." "While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 Ni naki me idiori na tre ni rira ni tumana nitu sisir Yahudawa.
No one, however, was speaking openly about him, for fear of the Jews. "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.
14 Niwa ba ri igan indji ka ri ni zuzma, u Yesu lu ri ye hekali na (fara) ni tsroroba.
But when it was already the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. "I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
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.
The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One.
16 Yesu kasa ni bawu, “Itsroro mu'a ana umu na, a u Indji wa a ton me ye'a.”
In reply Jesus said to them; "My teaching is not mine, but is his who sent me. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
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 any one wills to do God’s will he shall know concerning my teaching, whether it is from God, or I speak my own authority. "Dedicate them in thy truth; thy word is truth.
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.
"The man who speaks on his own authority is always seeking his own glory. But one who is eager for the glory of Him who sent him, he is true, and therefore is nothing false about 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? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you seeking to kill me?"
20 Ison indji ba hla niwu, “U he ni brji. Ahi nha mba ni son wu'u?”
The crowd answered. "You have a demon! Who is trying kill you?"
21 Yesu hla bawu, mi ti indu iriri migen, u bi ti sisir wawu mbi.
Jesus answered them. "There was one thing I did, and you are all amazed.
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, therefore, Moses has given you circumcision - not that Moses originated it, but the fathers - and you are accustomed to circumcise a child even 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 child receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the Law of Moses may not be broken, how can you be angry with me because I made a man sound and well on the Sabbath?
24 Na tron ni ya shishi na, tron ni u njanji.”
"Do not judge according to appearance. Judge justly."
25 Bari mba rji ni Urushelima ba tre, “Iwa ana indji iwa ki si wa ndi ki wu ana?
Then some of the men of Jerusalem were saying. "Is not this the man they are seeking 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?
"And look! he is speaking boldly and they are saying nothing to him. Can it possibly be that the rulers have really discovered that he is 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.”
"But we know this man and where he is from; but when the Christ comes no one will know where he comes 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 cried aloud as he was teaching in the Temple, and said. "You both know me and you know where I am from; and I am not come on my own authority, but he who sent me is trustworthy, and him you do not know.
29 Ime mi to mi rji ni wawuyi, a wawuyi ton me.”
"But I now 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.
Then they kept seeking to arrest him, but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was 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?
But many of the crowd believed on him and began to say, "The Christ, when he comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"
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 muttering these things about him, and the high priest and Pharisees sent officers 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 to them. "Still for a little longer I am with you, and then I am going my way to him who sent me.
34 Bi wa me bi na to mena, bubu iwa mi hi'a, bina ya hina.
"You will search for me and will not find me, and 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?
Then the Jews said to one another. "Where does this fellow intend to go, so that we shall not find him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and to teach the Greeks, is 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 does he mean saying, ‘You shall seek me and you shall not find me,’ and ‘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 the last day, that the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried in a loud voice.
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.”
"If any man thirst let him come to me and drink. From the heart of him who believes in me will flow, as the Scripture said, 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 concerning the Spirit whom those who believed in him should receive. For the Spirit was not yet 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.”
Some of the crowd who had been listening to these discourses began to say, "Without a doubt this man is a Prophet."
41 Bari ba tre, iwayi a hi Almasihu.” U bari ba tre, “Almasihu ni rji ni Galili?
Other said, "He is the Christ." But others were saying. "Surely the Christ is not to come 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?
"Does not the Scripture say that the Christ is coming of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, David’s town?"
43 U ba ga kpa ni mi son nitu ma.
So a division arose in the crowd concerning him. Some of them wished to apprehend him, but no one laid hands on him.
44 Wa bari mba ba vu, idiori na yowo na.
Then the officers returned to the chief priest and Pharisees,
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?
and they asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"
46 Bi gben ba tre, ko diori na ti bre tre nayi.
The officers answered, "Never yet did a man speak like this man."
47 Farisawa ba sa ni bawa, “Ba kpayi kasran?
"Surely you have not been led astray, have you? answered the Pharisees.
48 Ka iri ni mi chuba a kpanyeme niwu, ka ni mi Farisawa?
"Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?
49 Indji bi son yi ba na to tron na, ba ti meme ye.
"As for this mob who do not understand the Law, they are accursed!"
50 Nikodimus hla ni bawu, wawu wa a ye ni Yesu, ni ri ni mi Farisawa,
Nicodemus, one of their number, he who had formerly visited Jesus, said to them,
51 Indu mbu tre ni ndu fu ton nidi ndi ri ni wo ikpe iwa a ti'a?
"Our law does not condemn the accused, does it, before hearing his defense, and finding out what he is doing?"
52 U ba minye, iwume u rji ni Galili? ban ya ni hla anibi wa ani ya rji Galili'a.
In answer they said to him. "You are not from Galilee, are you? Search for yourself, and see that from Galilee arises no prophet."
53 Niki indji wawu ba lu shan hi ni ko'mba.
Then they departed each to his own house.
