Yohana 8
1 Yesu hi ni gbunlu Zaitun.
But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
2 Ni mbubele a ka ban ye ni hekeli, indji wawu'u ba kaban ye niwu, aye kuson na si tsoro ba.
And at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.
3 Se bi nha ni Farisawa ba nji Iwa wandi ba vu asi tie ngyungyu, u ba yo ni tsutsu mba.
And the scholars and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery. And having stood her in the midst,
4 U ba tre niwu, Malan, Iwa yi ba vu ahe ni mi si ti ngyungyu.
tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the act.
5 Ni du Musa, a tre ki ta bi indji bi ki, Iwu u tre nigen ni tuma?”
Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou say about her?
6 U ba tre naki ni ndu sa tre ni ndu ba fe ni ikpe wa ani kpa ndema tie meme (Ko latre), u Yesu sontu grji na si nha ni menme ni vren wo.
But they said this, trying him, so that they might have an accusation against him. But Jesus having stooped down, wrote on the ground with his finger, not pretending.
7 U ba kamba na kri ti tutu bubu miyen, wa lukri ni ndide na hla bawu, “Indji ri ni mi biwa ato ana latre na, ka guci ta.
And when they continued asking him, after standing erect, he said to them, Let the innocent man of you first cast the stone at her.
8 A la sontu grji na nha ni vren woma.
And again having stooped down, he wrote on the ground.
9 Ba wo naki na lu shan rju ni yi yir ri ni ninkon, na ka Yesu don ni grjima, mba Iwa wa ba na yo ni tsutsu mba.
And they, having heard and being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, having begun from the elder until the last. And Jesus was left behind alone, and the woman being in the midst.
10 Yesu lu kir dinde na miyen, “Iwa, bi wa ba nha wu ba he ni tse? Idiori na nhau na?
And Jesus, after standing erect, and having seen no man but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those accusers of thee? Did no man condemn thee?
11 Wa hla ba diori, (Ubangiji), “Yesu tre, imeme mina nhawu na, hi na la latre ganna.
And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and henceforth sin no more.
12 Yesu tre niba ganri, andi, “I hi me yi mi kpan u gbungbulu, Indji iwa a hume ana tre ni bwuh na ama ani he ni kpan u re (iviri).”
Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me would, no, not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.
13 Farisawa ba tre niwu, “U zi tre nitu ikpe wa wuto'a nmitu tume, ana njanji na.
The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy testimony is not valid.
14 Yesu sa nibawu na hla, mi ti sheda tu mu me, ahi njanji, mi to iwurji wa mi rji ni wa mi hi'a, biyi kuko bina to wurji wa mi rji'a na, bina to wurji wa mi hi'a na.
Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I might testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I go, but ye do not know where I come from and where I go.
15 Bi tron u son tu, ime na tron to ni diori na.
Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man.
16 Ko mina tron ni diori me, itron mu mu'a a u njani nitu ana me kankrji mu na, ki he mbu Iti mu wa a ton me.
But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
17 Ee, Ana ki ni du wa ba nha mi tre bitsi, andi sheda indji hari a njanji.
And also it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is valid.
18 Ahi me yi mi sheda itu mu, u Itimu iwa a ton me a sheda mu.”
I am he who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.
19 Ba miyen, “Iti me ahe ni tsen?” Yesu hla ni bawu bina tome na, me bika tre Itimu, bina to me, bina to Iti mu'a me.
They said therefore to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.
20 A hla tre biyi whirewhir ni bubu wa ba zi kpi wa si tsoro ba tre Rji ni mi hekeli, idiori na vu na nitu iton ma na tsira rina.
Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no man seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 Na hla bawu bru, mi hi biwa bina to me na, bi kwu ni mi latre bi. bubu wa misi hi'a, bina ya hi na.
Jesus therefore again said to them, I go, and ye will seek me, and ye will die in your sin. Where I go, ye cannot come.
22 Yahudawa ba tre, ani wutuma mu, na ni tre iwurji wa mi hi'a bina ya hi na?”
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, ye cannot come?
23 Yesu hla bawu biyi bi rji ni meme, u me mi rji ni shu. Bi he ni gbungbulu yi, ime mina rji ni yi ni gbungbulu yi na.
And he said to them, Ye are from below, I am from above. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world.
24 Iki sa mi hla niyu bi kwu ni mi latre bi. Bitana kpayemmen ni soron bi andi a hi me na, bi kwu ni mi latre bi.
I said therefore to you that ye will die in your sins. For unless ye believe that I am he, ye will die in your sins.
25 U ba tre niwu, awu nha? “Yesu hla ba wu, ikpe mi hla rji ni mumla.
They said therefore to him, Who are thou? And Jesus said to them, The beginning, something that I am even telling you.
26 Mi he ni kpi gbugbuwu wa mi hla ni yiwu, ni gbi ton ni yiwu ni tuma. Naki me, indji wa a ton ndu, andi u njanji, ikpi wa mi wo niwu'a a baki mi si hla ni gbungbulu ba.”
I have many things to say and to judge about you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.
27 Bana tona ndi asi tre nitu Iti'a.
They did not understand that he spoke the Father to them.
28 Yesu tre, bita zu Vren Ndji hi ni shu ri bi to ndi a hi me, ndi mi ti kpi ri ni tumu na. Na wa Iti tsoro me, naki mi si ikpi ni yiwu.
Jesus therefore said to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but I speak these things as my Father taught me.
29 Wawu wa a ton me ndu'a, ana ka me don kan grji mu na, ahe ni me nitu kpi wawu wa me ti'a ani kpa soron ma si.”
And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.
30 Wa Yesu si hla bi mba, indji gbugbu'u ba kpa yemme ni wu.
As he spoke these things of him, many believed in him.
31 Yesu hla biyi ni Yahudawa biwa ba wo na kpayenmen niwu, “Bi ta kli ni mi tre mu ni njanji, bi almajere mu bi nanji.
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples,
32 Bi to njanji, u njanji ni kpayi chuwo.”
and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
33 U ba sa niwu, “Ki mir bi grji ba Ibrahim wa kina ti bre hu diori kan na, iwa tre ni genri, ba kpatachuwo?”
They answered to him, We are Abraham's seed, and have been in bondage to no man, ever. How can thou say, Ye will become free?
34 Yesu hla bawu, “Njani, njanji, mi hla ni yiwu, indji wa ani latre, ahi gran latre.
Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, that every man who does the sin is a bondman of the sin.
And the bondman does not remain in the house into the age. The Son remains into the age. (aiōn g165)
36 Naki, ivren nita kpa yi chuwo, u bi nawo wawu.
If therefore the Son should make you free, ye will truly be free.
37 Mi to bi, bi igrji Ibrahim, bi son bi wuma, nitu wa lan tre mu na he ni bubu son ni mi bina.
I know that ye are Abraham's seed, yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
38 Mi hla ikpe wa mi to ni Ti mu, biyi bi ti ikpe wa bi wo ni ba ti bi'a.
I speak what I have seen from my Father, and ye therefore do what ye have seen from your father.
39 U ba sa niwu, “Ibrahim mba a timbu, Yesu hla bawu, “Bina mir Ibrahim bina ti ikpe wa Ibrahim a ti'a.
They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 U, zizan bi son wume, indji wa a hla njani ni yiwu wa a wo rji ni Rji. Ibrahim na ti naki na.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
41 Bi ti na Iti mbi, u ba hla niwu, “Bana grji ta ni mi gyugyu na, ki he ni Iti riri, Irji.”
Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We were not begotten from fornication. We have one Father, God.
42 Yesu hla bawu, “Irji ana Iti bi bi na son me, u mi rji ni Irji i mi he ni yi zizan, ana ni tumu mi ye na, a wawu yi ton me.
Therefore Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me, for I came forth and have come from God. For, neither have I come for myself, but he sent me.
43 Ahi genri sa bina ya to wo tre mu na? e bina wo tre mu na.
Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Bi u Ti bi, Ibrji, bi son bi hu iza ma Iti bi, ani wu ndi rji ni mumla mu ana kri ni njanji na he ni wuna, anita ni hla ice, asi hla Iti ma (isoron ma) rji ni mu a indji u ce na Iti u ce ngari.
Ye are from the father, the devil, and ye want to do the desires of your father. He was a man-killer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 Wa mi si hla njanji ni yiwu u bi na kpa yenme ni kpe wa mi si hla na.
And I, because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 Ahi nha ni ri mbi a vu me ni latre? Mi ta hla njanji u bi ka na kpayemme na?
Which of you convicts me about sin? And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 Indji wa a u Rji ani wo tre Rji, biyi bina wo tre Irji na, nitu wa bina u Rji na.
He who is of God hears the sayings of God. Because of this ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
48 Yahudawa ba sa niwu, natre, “Kina hla njanji na nitu wa ki hla andi u indji u Samariya ni he ni meme brji?”
Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
49 Yesu sa bawu, “ime mi na he ni Ibrji na, mi to ninkon u Timu, biyi bina to ninkon mu na.”
Jesus answered, I have no demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
50 Mina wa to tu mu ti kperi u tu mu na, Indji ri he wa ani wa na ni gbi ton.
But I seek not my own glory. He is who seeks and judges.
Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keeps my word, he will, no, not see death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
52 U Yahudawa ba tre, zizan yi ki to u he ni brji. Ibrahim ni ana bawa ba kwu, iwu u tre, indji wa a hu tre me ana to kwu na.' (aiōn g165)
The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and thou say, If any man keeps my word, he will, no, not taste of death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
53 Ee, u na zan Iti mbu Ibrahim ni ninkon na wa kwu, ka u zan? anabawa me ba kwu, u ban tu ndi u nha?”
Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself?
54 Yesu sa, “Mita ban tumu ti kperi u tu mu, ani u migyen, ahi Iti mu mba ban ti kperi iwa bi tre ahi wawuyi a Irji bi.
Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. My Father is he who glorifies me, of whom ye say, He is our God.
55 Bi mebina tou na, ime mi tou, mi ta tre mina tou na, ka mi kati iriri ni yi me, indji u ce, se me, mi to ni ni hu tre ma.
And ye do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.
56 Iti bi Ibrahim a gir ni to ivi mu, a tou na gir.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced that he could see my day, and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Yahudawa ba hla niwu, “Una ti hamsi rina, una to Ibrahim?”
The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham?
58 Yesu hla bawu, “Njanji, njanji, mi si hla ni yiwu, mi heri, ban grji Ibrahim.
Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am.
59 U ba vu tita ndi ba tau, u Yesu ri tuma, na rju ni mi hekeli'a.
Therefore they took up stones so that they might throw at him, but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, having passed through the midst of them, and thus passed on.
