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 was walking in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jewish leaders sought to kill him.
2 U igan idin u Yahudawa tewhire.
Now the Jewish festival, the 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, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your 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
For no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world."
5 Nitu wa imri vayi ma me bana kpanyime niwu na.
For even his brothers did not believe in him.
6 Yesu hla ni bawu, iton mu na tsira rina, ka iton bi ni he ni tan.
Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
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 it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
8 Bika lunde hi ni idin, ime mi na hi na iton mu tsira rina.
You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."
9 Ni kogon iwa a hla ikpi biyi, a kuk'ri ni Galili.
After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
10 Ni kogon wa imiri vayi ma ba hi ni rira na.
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
11 Nitu iwa Yahudawa ba si wa'u ni bubu indji'a, nani minye, a he ni ntsen?
The Jewish leaders therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "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.
There was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." But others said, "Not so, but he leads the crowd astray."
13 Ni naki me idiori na tre ni rira ni tumana nitu sisir Yahudawa.
Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jewish leaders.
14 Niwa ba ri igan indji ka ri ni zuzma, u Yesu lu ri ye hekali na (fara) ni tsroroba.
But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
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.
Then the Jewish leaders were astonished, saying, "How does this man know such writings, having never been educated?"
16 Yesu kasa ni bawu, “Itsroro mu'a ana umu na, a u Indji wa a ton me ye'a.”
Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching 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 desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
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.
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is 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 none of you keeps the Law? Why do you seek 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 seeks to kill you?"
21 Yesu hla bawu, mi ti indu iriri migen, u bi ti sisir wawu mbi.
Jesus answered them, "I did one work, 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.
Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
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 boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
24 Na tron ni ya shishi na, tron ni u njanji.”
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
25 Bari mba rji ni Urushelima ba tre, “Iwa ana indji iwa ki si wa ndi ki wu ana?
Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek 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?
Look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this 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.”
However we know where this man comes 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.
Jesus therefore called out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
29 Ime mi to mi rji ni wawuyi, a wawuyi ton me.”
I 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.
They sought therefore to take him; but 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?
But many in the crowd believed in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those 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 concerning him, and the chief priests and the 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, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
34 Bi wa me bi na to mena, bubu iwa mi hi'a, bina ya hina.
You will seek me, but won't find; 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?
The Jewish leaders therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
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 is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, but won't find; 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 on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, 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.”
He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him 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.
But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet 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 therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the Prophet."
41 Bari ba tre, iwayi a hi Almasihu.” U bari ba tre, “Almasihu ni rji ni Galili?
Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Nda tre Irji hla Almasihu ni rji ni mi mla Dauda ni Batalami na, rji ni mi vi gbu wa Dauda rji?
Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
43 U ba ga kpa ni mi son nitu ma.
So there arose a division in the crowd because of him.
44 Wa bari mba ba vu, idiori na yowo na.
Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands 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?
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"
46 Bi gben ba tre, ko diori na ti bre tre nayi.
The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man."
47 Farisawa ba sa ni bawa, “Ba kpayi kasran?
The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You are not also led astray, are you?
48 Ka iri ni mi chuba a kpanyeme niwu, ka ni mi Farisawa?
Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
49 Indji bi son yi ba na to tron na, ba ti meme ye.
But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed."
50 Nikodimus hla ni bawu, wawu wa a ye ni Yesu, ni ri ni mi Farisawa,
Nicodemus (he who came to him before, being one of them) said to them,
51 Indu mbu tre ni ndu fu ton nidi ndi ri ni wo ikpe iwa a ti'a?
"Does our Law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"
52 U ba minye, iwume u rji ni Galili? ban ya ni hla anibi wa ani ya rji Galili'a.
They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."
53 Niki indji wawu ba lu shan hi ni ko'mba.
Then everyone went to his own house,
