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.
Early in the morning he returned to the temple, and all the people having come to him, 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.
Then the Scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman, taken in adultery; and having placed her in the middle,
4 U ba tre niwu, Malan, Iwa yi ba vu ahe ni mi si ti ngyungyu.
said to him, Rabbi, this woman was surprised in the act of adultery.
5 Ni du Musa, a tre ki ta bi indji bi ki, Iwu u tre nigen ni tuma?”
Now Moses has commanded in the law, that such should be stoned; and what do you say?
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.
They said this to try him, that they might have matter for accusing him. But Jesus, having stooped down, was writing with his finger, upon the ground.
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.
As they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said to them, Let him who is sinless, amongst you, throw the first stone at her.
8 A la sontu grji na nha ni vren woma.
Again, having stooped down, he wrote upon 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.
They, hearing that, withdrew, one after another, the eldest first, till Jesus was left alone, with 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?
Jesus, raising himself, and seeing none but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those, your accusers? Has no person passed sentence on you?
11 Wa hla ba diori, (Ubangiji), “Yesu tre, imeme mina nhawu na, hi na la latre ganna.
She answered, No person, Sir. Jesus said to her, Neither do I pass sentence on 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).”
Again Jesus addressed the people, saying, I am the light of the world. He who 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 retorted, You testify concerning yourself; your testimony is not to be regarded.
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, Though I testify concerning myself, my testimony ought to be regarded; because I know whence I came, and whither I go. As for you, you know not whence I came, and whither I go.
15 Bi tron u son tu, ime na tron to ni diori na.
You judge from passion; I judge no person:
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 if I do, my judgment ought to be regarded, for I am not alone, but concur with the Father, who sent me.
17 Ee, Ana ki ni du wa ba nha mi tre bitsi, andi sheda indji hari a njanji.
It is a maxim in your law, that the concurrent testimony of two is credible.
18 Ahi me yi mi sheda itu mu, u Itimu iwa a ton me a sheda mu.”
Now I am one who testify concerning myself; the Father that sent me is another that testifies 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 they asked him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You know neither me nor my Father: if you knew me, you would know 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 things he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple, and no person seized him, his hour not being 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.
Again, Jesus said to them, I am going away; you will seek me, and shall die in your sins; whither I go, you can not 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, that he says, Whither I go, you can not 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.
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.
therefore I said, 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.
They, therefore, asked him, Who are you? Jesus answered, The same that I told you formerly.
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 of you, and to reprove in you: but he who sent me is worthy of belief; and I do but publish to the world what I have learned from him.
27 Bana tona ndi asi tre nitu Iti'a.
They did not perceive, that he meant 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.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, When you shall have raised the Son of Man on high, then you shall know what I am; and that I do nothing of myself, and say nothing which the Father has not 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 what pleases him.
30 Wa Yesu si hla bi mba, indji gbugbu'u ba kpa yemme ni wu.
While he spoke thus, 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.
Jesus, therefore, said to those Jews who believed on him, If you persevere in my doctrine, you are 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?”
Some made answer, We are Abraham's offspring, and were never enslaved to any man. How do you say, You shall be made free?
34 Yesu hla bawu, “Njani, njanji, mi hla ni yiwu, indji wa ani latre, ahi gran latre.
Jesus replied, Most assuredly, I say to you, whosoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
Now the slave abides not in the family perpetually, the Son abides perpetually. (aiōn g165)
36 Naki, ivren nita kpa yi chuwo, u bi nawo wawu.
If, therefore, the Son make you free, you will 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 offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my doctrine 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 with my Father: and you do what you have learned 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, Abraham is our Father. Jesus replied, If you were Abraham's children, you would act as Abraham acted.
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 who has told you the truth, which I received from God. Abraham acted not thus.
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. They answered, We were 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 replied, If God were your Father, you would love me; for I proceeded, and am come from God. I came not of myself. 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 language? It is because you can not bear my doctrine.
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.
The devil is your father, and the desires of your father you will gratify: he was a manslayer from the beginning; he swerved from the truth, because there was no veracity in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks suitably to his character; for he is a liar, and the father of lying.
45 Wa mi si hla njanji ni yiwu u bi na kpa yenme ni kpe wa mi si hla na.
As for me, because I speak the truth, you 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?
Who of you convicts me of falsehood? And if I speak 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 who is of God, regards God's words. You regard 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?”
The Jews then answered, Have we not reason to say, You 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 replied, I have not a demon: but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 Mina wa to tu mu ti kperi u tu mu na, Indji ri he wa ani wa na ni gbi ton.
As for me, I seek not to promote my own glory; another seeks it, who judges.
Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever keeps my word, 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)
The Jews then said to him, Now we are certain that you have a demon: Abraham is dead, and the prophets; yet you say, Whoever keeps my word, shall never taste 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, who is dead. The prophets also are dead: whom do you make 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 commend myself, my commendation is nothing: it is my Father, whom you call your God, who commends me.
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.
Nevertheless, you know him not; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should speak falsely like you: but I know him, and keep his word.
56 Iti bi Ibrahim a gir ni to ivi mu, a tou na gir.”
Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he should see my day; and he did see it, and was glad.
57 Yahudawa ba hla niwu, “Una ti hamsi rina, una to Ibrahim?”
The Jews replied, You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?
58 Yesu hla bawu, “Njanji, njanji, mi si hla ni yiwu, mi heri, ban grji Ibrahim.
Jesus answered, Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.
59 U ba vu tita ndi ba tau, u Yesu ri tuma, na rju ni mi hekeli'a.
Then they took up stones to cast at him; but Jesus concealed himself, and went out of the temple.
