Yohana 7
1 Payamasile yeleyo, Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwendajenda ku Galilaya ko. Nganasaka kwendajenda ku Yudea ligongo achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵasachile kwaulaga.
And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Chindimba cha Ŵayahudi cha masakasa chaŵandichile.
Now the tabernacles, the feast of the Jews, was near.
3 Nipele achapwakwe Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ntyoche pelepa njaule ku Yudea kuti ŵakunkuya mmwe nombewo aiwone yakusimonjeka inkwipanganya.
His brethren therefore said to him, Remove hence and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest;
4 Ngapagwa mundu jwakupanganya chindu kwakulisisa iŵaga akusaka kumanyika ni ŵandu. Pakuŵa nkupanganya yelei, nlilosye mwasyene kwa ŵandu ŵa pachilambo.”
for no one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be [known] in public. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world:
5 Namose achapwakwe nganiŵakulupilila.
for neither did his brethren believe on him.
6 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Katema kambone kukwangu kakanaŵe kwika, kukwenu ŵanyamwe katema kakalikose kali kambone.
Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7 Ŵandu ŵa pachilambo ngakombola kunchima ŵanyamwe, nambo uneji akunjima pakuŵa naasalile kuti yakuitendekanya yo ili yangalumbana.
The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I bear witness concerning it that its works are evil.
8 Ŵanyamwe njaule kuchindimba cho. Uneji ngunyaula kuchindimba cho pakuŵa katema kambone kukwangu kakanaŵe kwika.”
Ye, go ye up to this feast. I go not up to this feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.
9 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo ni kusigala pa Galilaya palapala.
Having said these things to them he abode in Galilee.
10 Achapwakwe paŵamasile kwaula kuchindimba cha masakasa, Che Yesu nombe ŵajawile, nambo nganajaula kwakulilosya, ŵajawile kwakulisisa.
But when his brethren had gone up, then he himself also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in secret.
11 Kuchindimba cho achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaliji nkwasosasosa Che Yesu, ni ŵausyene, “Ana ali kwapi ŵelewo?”
The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 Mpingo wa ŵandu waliji nkusongona jwine ni jwine yankati Che Yesu. Ŵandu ŵane ŵatite, “Ali mundu jwambone.” Ni ŵane ŵatite, “Ngaŵa! Akwalambusya ŵandu.”
And there was much murmuring concerning him among the crowds. Some said, He is [a] good [man]; others said, No; but he deceives the crowd.
13 Atamuno yeleyo ngapagwa mundu jwalijose jwalinjile kuŵecheta ngani syakwe pelanga kwa ligongo lya kwajogopa achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi.
However, no one spoke openly concerning him on account of [their] fear of the Jews.
14 Chindimba cho pichaŵandichile kumala, Che Yesu ŵajawile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kutanda kwiganya.
But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
15 Nipele achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵasimosile ni kuti, “Ana mundu ju agapatile kwapi majiganyo ga, nombejo nganajaule kukulijiganya?”
The Jews therefore wondered, saying, How knows this [man] letters, having never learned?
16 Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Majiganyo gungwiganya nganigaŵa gangu, nambo gakutyochela kwa ŵelewo ŵandumile une.
Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but [that] of him that has sent me.
17 Mundu asakaga kupanganya yakusaka Akunnungu, chaimanyilile kuti majiganyo gungwiganya gatyosile kwa Akunnungu pane nguŵecheta kwa ukombole wangu nansyene.
If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or [that] I speak from myself.
18 Jwelejo jwakuŵecheta ngani syakwe nsyene akusosasosa ukulu wakwe nsyene, nambo jwakusosasosa ukulu wa jwannajisye jula, jwelejo ali jwausyene ni mwa jwelejo ngapagwa unami.
He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that has sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.
19 Ana che Musa nganampanga malajisyo? Atamuno yeleyo, ngapagwa jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe jwakugatendekanya gagalembekwe mmalajisyo go. Ana ligongo chi nkusaka kumulaga?”
Has not Moses given you the law, and no one of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?
20 Papopo mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wajanjile, “Ana mmwe nkwete masoka! Nduni jwakusaka kummulaga mmwe?”
The crowd answered [and said], Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?
21 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Mbanganyisye chakusimonjeka chimo ni ŵanyamwe nkuchisimonga.
Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.
22 Che Musa ŵampele chisyoŵelo cha kwaumbasya achiŵana ŵenu. Nambo chisyoŵelo cho nganichityochela ku che Musa nambo chatyochele kwa achambuje ŵenu. Sambano ŵanyamwe nkummumbasya mwanache pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.
Therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on sabbath.
23 Iŵaga mundu akuumbala pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila kuti ganatemeche malajisyo, sambano kwa chichi nkuundumbilila une ligongo nannamisye mundu pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?
If a man receives circumcision on sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be violated, are ye angry with me because I have made a man entirely sound on sabbath?
24 Kasinlamula kwa meeso pe, nambo nlamule kwa goloka.”
Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Ŵandu ŵane ŵa ku Yelusalemu ŵatandite kuliusya, “Ana mundu ju ngaŵa ajula jwakusosekwa ni ilongola kuti ammulaje?
Some therefore of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26 Nnole, sambano akuŵecheta pelanga, nombe ngapagwa mundu jwakuntanjila chachilichose. Uli, ilongola akwimanyilila kuti aju ali Kilisito Jwakuwombola?
and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?
27 Pachaiche Kilisito ngapagwa mundu juchakumanye kwakopochele, nambo uweji tukumanyi kwakopochele mundu ju!”
But [as to] this [man] we know whence he is. Now [as to] the Christ, when he comes, no one knows whence he is.
28 Nipele Che Yesu paŵaliji nkwiganya pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Ana ŵanyamwe nkuumanyilila une ni sooni nkumanyi kungopochele? Une nguniika kwa ulamusi wangu nansyene, nambo ŵandumile une wo ali ŵausyenesyene, ni ŵanyamwe ngunkwamanyilila,
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me and ye know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye do not know.
29 uneji ngwamanyilila pakuŵa ngopochele kwa ŵelewo, nombewo ni ŵandumile une.”
I know him, because I am from him, and he has sent me.
30 Nipele ŵandu ŵasachile kwakamula, nambo nganapagwa mundu jwalijose jwalinjile kunkwaya, ligongo katema kakwe kaliji kakanaŵe kwika.
They sought therefore to take him; and no one laid his hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 Mumpingo wa ŵandu mula, ŵandu ŵajinji ŵakulupilile ni kuti, “Ana aikaga Kilisito Jwakuwombola chapanganye imanyisyo yekulungwa kupunda ayiyi yakuitendekanya aŵa?”
But many of the crowd believed on him, and said, Will the Christ, when he comes, do more signs than those which this [man] has done?
32 Mafalisayo ŵapilikene ŵandu achisongonaga jwine ni jwine yankati Che Yesu. Nipele achakulu ŵambopesi pamo ni Mafalisayo ŵatumile ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu akaakamule Che Yesu.
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they might take him.
33 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Chindame ni ŵanyamwe kwa katema kakajipi, nipele chinyaule kwa ŵandumile ŵala.
Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and I go to him that has sent me.
34 Chimuusose nambo ngamuuwona, pakuŵa pepala pachime ŵanyamwe ngankombolanga kwika.”
Ye shall seek me and shall not find [me], and where I am ye cannot come.
35 Achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵausyanaga achinsyene pe, “Ana mundu ju chajaule kwapi kwakuti ngatukombola kwawona? Ana chajaule kwa Ŵayahudi ŵapwilingene ni kutama mu misi ja Ŵagiliki ni kwajiganya Ŵagiliki?
The Jews therefore said to one another, Where is he about to go that we shall not find him? Is he about to go to the dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 Ana malumbo gakwe chichi pakuti, ‘Chimuusose nambo ngamuuwona, ni pepala pachime ŵanyamwe ngankombola kwika?’”
What word is this which he said, Ye shall seek me and shall not find [me]; and where I am ye cannot come?
37 Lyuŵa lya mbesi lya chindimba cho lyaliji lyuŵa lyekulungwa. Che Yesu ŵajimi ni kuŵecheta kwa liloŵe lyakunyanyisya, “Mundu jwalijose jwakwete njota aiche kung'wa kukwangu.
In the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.
38 Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, ‘Jwakungulupilila uneji, sulo sya meesi gagakwikanawo umi chigajilime kutyochela nkati mwao!’”
He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo nkati Mbumu jwa Akunnungu juchapochelwe ni aŵala ŵakwakulupilila Che Yesu. Mpaka katema ko ŵandu ŵaliji nganampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaliji akanaŵe kunkusya Che Yesu.
But this he said concerning the Spirit, which they that believed on him were about to receive; for [the] Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40 Ŵandu ŵane mu mpingo ula ŵapilikene maloŵe go, ni ŵatite, “Isyene mundu ju ali jwakulondola jula!”
[Some] out of the crowd therefore, having heard this word, said, This is truly the prophet.
41 Ŵandu ŵane ŵatite, “Aju ali Kilisito Jwakuwombola!” Nambo ŵandu ŵane ŵaliji nkuliusya, “Ana ikukomboleka Kilisito akopochele ku Galilaya?
Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, Does then the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Ana Malembelo ga Akunnungu ngagakuti, ‘Kilisito Jwakuwombola chakopochele mu lukosyo lwa mwenye che Daudi, ni chapagwe ku Beselehemu, musi uŵatemi mwenye che Daudi?’”
Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 Nipele, ŵandu ŵa mumpingo ŵalekangene kwa ligongo lya Che Yesu.
There was a division therefore in the crowd on account of him.
44 Ŵandu ŵane ŵasachile kwakamula nambo ngapagwa mundu jwalijose juŵankwaiye.
But some of them desired to take him, but no one laid hands upon him.
45 Nipele ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu paŵausile, achakulu ŵambopesi ni Mafalisayo, ŵausisye, “Kwachichi nganimwaichisya Che Yesu?”
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 Ŵakulindilila ŵala ŵajanjile, “Nganapagwe mundu jwalijose jwakombwele kuŵecheta mpela mundu ju!”
The officers answered, Never man spoke thus, as this man [speaks].
47 Nipele Mafalisayo ŵausisye, “Ana annambwisye ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe?
The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?
48 Ana mpatile kumbona jumo jwa ilongola, pane jumo jwa Mafalisayo jwankulupilile jwelejo?
Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?
49 Ngwamba, nambo ŵandu ŵa ngakugamanyilila malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa, kwayele Akunnungu ŵalwesisye!”
But this crowd, which does not know the law, are accursed.
50 Jumo jwao ŵaliji che Nikodemu jumo jwa Mafalisayo juŵajaulile Che Yesu kundanda, ŵaasalile achinjakwe,
Nicodemus says to them (being one of themselves),
51 “Malajisyo getu gakusala kuti, ngatukukombola kunlamula mundu jwalijose pangampilikanila kaje ni kwimanyilila chichi chakupanganya.”
Does our law judge a man before it have first heard from himself, and know what he does?
52 Ni ŵanyawo ŵanjanjile, “Ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe ntyochele ku Galilaya? Nsosesose Mmalembelo Gamaswela nomwe chinnole kuti ku Galilaya ngaakopochela jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu!”
They answered and said to him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and look, that no prophet arises out of Galilee.
53 Nipele kila mundu ŵausile kumangwakwe.
And every one went to his home.
