Yohana 8
1 Yesu hi ni gbunlu Zaitun.
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 early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and 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 scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle,
4 U ba tre niwu, Malan, Iwa yi ba vu ahe ni mi si ti ngyungyu.
They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Ni du Musa, a tre ki ta bi indji bi ki, Iwu u tre nigen ni tuma?”
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say you?
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.
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
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.
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 A la sontu grji na nha ni vren woma.
And again he stooped down, and 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 which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle.
10 Yesu lu kir dinde na miyen, “Iwa, bi wa ba nha wu ba he ni tse? Idiori na nhau na?
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you?
11 Wa hla ba diori, (Ubangiji), “Yesu tre, imeme mina nhawu na, hi na la latre ganna.
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and 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).”
Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall 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, You bore record of yourself; your record is not true.
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, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know from where I came, and where I go; but you cannot tell from where I come, and where I go.
15 Bi tron u son tu, ime na tron to ni diori na.
You judge after 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.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 Ee, Ana ki ni du wa ba nha mi tre bitsi, andi sheda indji hari a njanji.
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Ahi me yi mi sheda itu mu, u Itimu iwa a ton me a sheda mu.”
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bears witness of 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.
Then said they to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You neither know me, nor my Father: if you had known me, you should 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.
These words spoke Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was 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.
Then said Jesus again to them, I go my way, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I go, you cannot come.
22 Yahudawa ba tre, ani wutuma mu, na ni tre iwurji wa mi hi'a bina ya hi na?”
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he says, Where I go, you 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, You are from beneath; I am from above: you 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 you shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins.
25 U ba tre niwu, awu nha? “Yesu hla ba wu, ikpe mi hla rji ni mumla.
Then said they to him, Who are you? And Jesus says to them, Even the same that I said to you from the beginning.
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 of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27 Bana tona ndi asi tre nitu Iti'a.
They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.
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.
Then said Jesus to them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.
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 that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 Wa Yesu si hla bi mba, indji gbugbu'u ba kpa yemme ni wu.
As he spoke these words, many believed on 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.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed;
32 Bi to njanji, u njanji ni kpayi chuwo.”
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall 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 him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you, You shall be made 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, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin.
And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Naki, ivren nita kpa yi chuwo, u bi nawo wawu.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
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 you are Abraham’s seed; but you 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 that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with 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 you were Abraham’s children, you 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 you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Bi ti na Iti mbi, u ba hla niwu, “Bana grji ta ni mi gyugyu na, ki he ni Iti riri, Irji.”
You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even 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.
Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Ahi genri sa bina ya to wo tre mu na? e bina wo tre mu na.
Why do you not understand my speech? even because you 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.
You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stayed not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for 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 because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.
46 Ahi nha ni ri mbi a vu me ni latre? Mi ta hla njanji u bi ka na kpayemme na?
Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you 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 that is of God hears God’s words: you therefore hear them not, because you 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?”
Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil?
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 not a devil; but I honor my Father, and you do dishonor me.
50 Mina wa to tu mu ti kperi u tu mu na, Indji ri he wa ani wa na ni gbi ton.
And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.
Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. (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)
Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. (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 you greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom make you yourself?
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 honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honors me; of whom you say, that he is your 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.
Yet you have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like to you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Iti bi Ibrahim a gir ni to ivi mu, a tou na gir.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Yahudawa ba hla niwu, “Una ti hamsi rina, una to Ibrahim?”
Then said the Jews to him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you 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 was, I am.
59 U ba vu tita ndi ba tau, u Yesu ri tuma, na rju ni mi hekeli'a.
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the middle of them, and so passed by.
