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.
Early in the morning he came to the temple again, and all the people came; 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.
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery. They placed her in the middle.
4 U ba tre niwu, Malan, Iwa yi ba vu ahe ni mi si ti ngyungyu.
Then they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.
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 to stone such people; what do you 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.
They said this in order to trap him so that they might have something to accuse him about, but Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
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.
When they continued asking him questions, he stood up and said to them, “The one among you who has no sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8 A la sontu grji na nha ni vren woma.
Again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
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.
When they heard it, they left one by one, beginning with the oldest. Finally Jesus was left alone, with the woman who had been 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 stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11 Wa hla ba diori, (Ubangiji), “Yesu tre, imeme mina nhawu na, hi na la latre ganna.
She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “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).”
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will 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 said to him, “You bear witness about yourself; your witness 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, “Even if I bear witness about myself, my witness is true. I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
15 Bi tron u son tu, ime na tron to ni diori na.
You judge according the flesh; I judge no one.
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.
Yet if I judge, my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 Ee, Ana ki ni du wa ba nha mi tre bitsi, andi sheda indji hari a njanji.
Yes, and in your law it is written 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 he who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness 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 to him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me, you 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.
He said these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one arrested 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.
So again he said to them, “I am going away; you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
22 Yahudawa ba tre, ani wutuma mu, na ni tre iwurji wa mi hi'a bina ya hi na?”
The Jews said, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going 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.
Jesus said to them, “You are from below; 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 to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I AM, you 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 you?” Jesus said to them, “What I have 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 speak and to judge about you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things that I heard from him, these things I say to the world.”
27 Bana tona ndi asi tre nitu Iti'a.
They did not understand that he was speaking to them about 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 said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then will you know that I AM, and that I do nothing of myself. As the Father 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.”
He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.”
30 Wa Yesu si hla bi mba, indji gbugbu'u ba kpa yemme ni wu.
As Jesus was saying these things, 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 said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples;
32 Bi to njanji, u njanji ni kpayi chuwo.”
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set 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 are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves of anyone; how can you say, 'You will be set 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, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Naki, ivren nita kpa yi chuwo, u bi nawo wawu.
Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be truly 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 you are Abraham's descendants; 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 say what I have seen with my Father, and you also do what you heard 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, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said 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.
Yet, now you 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.”
You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born in sexual immorality; 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.
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; for neither have I come 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 words? It is because you cannot hear my words.
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 you wish to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature because he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 Wa mi si hla njanji ni yiwu u bi na kpa yenme ni kpe wa mi si hla na.
Yet, 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?
Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak 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 who is of God hears the words of God; you do not hear them 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 answered and said to him, “Do we not truly say that 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 answered, “I do not have 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.
I do not seek my glory; there is one seeking and judging.
Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will 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 said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died; but you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will 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?”
You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? The prophets also died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
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; it is my Father who glorifies me—about 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.
You have not known him, but I know him. If I would say, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. However, I know him and keep his word.
56 Iti bi Ibrahim a gir ni to ivi mu, a tou na gir.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced at seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
57 Yahudawa ba hla niwu, “Una ti hamsi rina, una to Ibrahim?”
The Jews said to him, “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 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 they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
