Yohana 7
1 Payamasile yeleyo, Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwendajenda ku Galilaya ko. Nganasaka kwendajenda ku Yudea ligongo achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵasachile kwaulaga.
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Chindimba cha Ŵayahudi cha masakasa chaŵandichile.
Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 Nipele achapwakwe Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ntyoche pelepa njaule ku Yudea kuti ŵakunkuya mmwe nombewo aiwone yakusimonjeka inkwipanganya.
And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Judea; that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.
4 Ngapagwa mundu jwakupanganya chindu kwakulisisa iŵaga akusaka kumanyika ni ŵandu. Pakuŵa nkupanganya yelei, nlilosye mwasyene kwa ŵandu ŵa pachilambo.”
For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.
5 Namose achapwakwe nganiŵakulupilila.
For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Katema kambone kukwangu kakanaŵe kwika, kukwenu ŵanyamwe katema kakalikose kali kambone.
Then Jesus said 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 hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Ŵanyamwe njaule kuchindimba cho. Uneji ngunyaula kuchindimba cho pakuŵa katema kambone kukwangu kakanaŵe kwika.”
Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.
9 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo ni kusigala pa Galilaya palapala.
When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.
10 Achapwakwe paŵamasile kwaula kuchindimba cha masakasa, Che Yesu nombe ŵajawile, nambo nganajaula kwakulilosya, ŵajawile kwakulisisa.
But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.
11 Kuchindimba cho achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaliji nkwasosasosa Che Yesu, ni ŵausyene, “Ana ali kwapi ŵelewo?”
The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, 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 among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.
13 Atamuno yeleyo ngapagwa mundu jwalijose jwalinjile kuŵecheta ngani syakwe pelanga kwa ligongo lya kwajogopa achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi.
Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
14 Chindimba cho pichaŵandichile kumala, Che Yesu ŵajawile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kutanda kwiganya.
Now about the midst 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?”
And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?
16 Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Majiganyo gungwiganya nganigaŵa gangu, nambo gakutyochela kwa ŵelewo ŵandumile une.
Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 Mundu asakaga kupanganya yakusaka Akunnungu, chaimanyilile kuti majiganyo gungwiganya gatyosile kwa Akunnungu pane nguŵecheta kwa ukombole wangu nansyene.
If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of 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 speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him.
19 Ana che Musa nganampanga malajisyo? Atamuno yeleyo, ngapagwa jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe jwakugatendekanya gagalembekwe mmalajisyo go. Ana ligongo chi nkusaka kumulaga?”
Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
20 Papopo mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wajanjile, “Ana mmwe nkwete masoka! Nduni jwakusaka kummulaga mmwe?”
Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?
21 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Mbanganyisye chakusimonjeka chimo ni ŵanyamwe nkuchisimonga.
Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you 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 because it is of Moses, but of the fathers; ) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.
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 receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?
24 Kasinlamula kwa meeso pe, nambo nlamule kwa goloka.”
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.
25 Ŵandu ŵane ŵa ku Yelusalemu ŵatandite kuliusya, “Ana mundu ju ngaŵa ajula jwakusosekwa ni ilongola kuti ammulaje?
Some therefore 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 speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?
27 Pachaiche Kilisito ngapagwa mundu juchakumanye kwakopochele, nambo uweji tukumanyi kwakopochele mundu ju!”
But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth 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: You both know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself; but he that sent me, is true, whom you know not.
29 uneji ngwamanyilila pakuŵa ngopochele kwa ŵelewo, nombewo ni ŵandumile une.”
I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Nipele ŵandu ŵasachile kwakamula, nambo nganapagwa mundu jwalijose jwalinjile kunkwaya, ligongo katema kakwe kaliji kakanaŵe kwika.
They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was 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 of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?
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 people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.
33 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Chindame ni ŵanyamwe kwa katema kakajipi, nipele chinyaule kwa ŵandumile ŵala.
Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.
34 Chimuusose nambo ngamuuwona, pakuŵa pepala pachime ŵanyamwe ngankombolanga kwika.”
You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you 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 among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36 Ana malumbo gakwe chichi pakuti, ‘Chimuusose nambo ngamuuwona, ni pepala pachime ŵanyamwe ngankombola kwika?’”
What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you 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.
And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man 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 believeth in me, as the scripture saith, 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.
Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Ŵandu ŵane mu mpingo ula ŵapilikene maloŵe go, ni ŵatite, “Isyene mundu ju ali jwakulondola jula!”
Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.
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. But some said: Doth 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?’”
Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was?
43 Nipele, ŵandu ŵa mumpingo ŵalekangene kwa ligongo lya Che Yesu.
So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.
44 Ŵandu ŵane ŵasachile kwakamula nambo ngapagwa mundu jwalijose juŵankwaiye.
And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him.
45 Nipele ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu paŵausile, achakulu ŵambopesi ni Mafalisayo, ŵausisye, “Kwachichi nganimwaichisya Che Yesu?”
The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?
46 Ŵakulindilila ŵala ŵajanjile, “Nganapagwe mundu jwalijose jwakombwele kuŵecheta mpela mundu ju!”
The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.
47 Nipele Mafalisayo ŵausisye, “Ana annambwisye ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe?
The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?
48 Ana mpatile kumbona jumo jwa ilongola, pane jumo jwa Mafalisayo jwankulupilile jwelejo?
Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
49 Ngwamba, nambo ŵandu ŵa ngakugamanyilila malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa, kwayele Akunnungu ŵalwesisye!”
But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.
50 Jumo jwao ŵaliji che Nikodemu jumo jwa Mafalisayo juŵajaulile Che Yesu kundanda, ŵaasalile achinjakwe,
Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them: )
51 “Malajisyo getu gakusala kuti, ngatukukombola kunlamula mundu jwalijose pangampilikanila kaje ni kwimanyilila chichi chakupanganya.”
Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth?
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 a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see, that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.
53 Nipele kila mundu ŵausile kumangwakwe.
And every man returned to his own house.
