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 continued to move about in Galilee, since He did not wish to move about in Judea because the Jews were wanting to kill Him.
2 Chindimba cha Ŵayahudi cha masakasa chaŵandichile.
Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was near.
3 Nipele achapwakwe Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ntyoche pelepa njaule ku Yudea kuti ŵakunkuya mmwe nombewo aiwone yakusimonjeka inkwipanganya.
So His brothers said to Him: “Leave here and go up into Judea so your disciples also may see the works that you are doing,
4 Ngapagwa mundu jwakupanganya chindu kwakulisisa iŵaga akusaka kumanyika ni ŵandu. Pakuŵa nkupanganya yelei, nlilosye mwasyene kwa ŵandu ŵa pachilambo.”
because no one does anything in secret while he actually wants to be in evidence. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world!”
5 Namose achapwakwe nganiŵakulupilila.
For not even His brothers were believing into Him.
6 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Katema kambone kukwangu kakanaŵe kwika, kukwenu ŵanyamwe katema kakalikose kali kambone.
So Jesus says to them: “My time is not here yet, but your time is always available.
7 Ŵandu ŵa pachilambo ngakombola kunchima ŵanyamwe, nambo uneji akunjima pakuŵa naasalile kuti yakuitendekanya yo ili yangalumbana.
The world cannot hate you, but does hate me, because I testify about it that its works are malignant.
8 Ŵanyamwe njaule kuchindimba cho. Uneji ngunyaula kuchindimba cho pakuŵa katema kambone kukwangu kakanaŵe kwika.”
You guys go up to this feast; I am not going up yet to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come.”
9 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo ni kusigala pa Galilaya palapala.
So upon saying these things to them He stayed on in Galilee.
10 Achapwakwe paŵamasile kwaula kuchindimba cha masakasa, Che Yesu nombe ŵajawile, nambo nganajaula kwakulilosya, ŵajawile kwakulisisa.
Now when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He too went up, not openly but in secret like.
11 Kuchindimba cho achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaliji nkwasosasosa Che Yesu, ni ŵausyene, “Ana ali kwapi ŵelewo?”
So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and saying, “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 a lot of murmuring about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is good”; others were saying, “On the contrary, he's deceiving the people.”
13 Atamuno yeleyo ngapagwa mundu jwalijose jwalinjile kuŵecheta ngani syakwe pelanga kwa ligongo lya kwajogopa achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi.
However, no one was talking openly about Him for fear of the Jews.
14 Chindimba cho pichaŵandichile kumala, Che Yesu ŵajawile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kutanda kwiganya.
Now when the feast was already half over Jesus went up into the temple and started to teach.
15 Nipele achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵasimosile ni kuti, “Ana mundu ju agapatile kwapi majiganyo ga, nombejo nganajaule kukulijiganya?”
And the Jews were marveling saying, “How is this man learned, not having been educated?”
16 Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Majiganyo gungwiganya nganigaŵa gangu, nambo gakutyochela kwa ŵelewo ŵandumile une.
So Jesus answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but His who sent me.
17 Mundu asakaga kupanganya yakusaka Akunnungu, chaimanyilile kuti majiganyo gungwiganya gatyosile kwa Akunnungu pane nguŵecheta kwa ukombole wangu nansyene.
If anyone wants to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.
18 Jwelejo jwakuŵecheta ngani syakwe nsyene akusosasosa ukulu wakwe nsyene, nambo jwakusosasosa ukulu wa jwannajisye jula, jwelejo ali jwausyene ni mwa jwelejo ngapagwa unami.
Someone who speaks on his own is seeking his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
19 Ana che Musa nganampanga malajisyo? Atamuno yeleyo, ngapagwa jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe jwakugatendekanya gagalembekwe mmalajisyo go. Ana ligongo chi nkusaka kumulaga?”
“Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law! Why do you want to kill me?”
20 Papopo mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wajanjile, “Ana mmwe nkwete masoka! Nduni jwakusaka kummulaga mmwe?”
The crowd answered and said, “You must have a demon! Who wants to kill you?”
21 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Mbanganyisye chakusimonjeka chimo ni ŵanyamwe nkuchisimonga.
Jesus answered and said to them: “I did one work, and you all marvel.
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.
Consider this: Moses gave you circumcision (not that it comes from Moses, but from the patriarchs), and you circumcise a man on the 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 the Sabbath, so that the Law of Moses won't be broken, are you angry at me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?
24 Kasinlamula kwa meeso pe, nambo nlamule kwa goloka.”
Stop judging on the basis of appearances, but judge the righteous judgment.”
25 Ŵandu ŵane ŵa ku Yelusalemu ŵatandite kuliusya, “Ana mundu ju ngaŵa ajula jwakusosekwa ni ilongola kuti ammulaje?
Now some of the Jerusalemites were saying: “Isn't this the man they are wanting to kill?
26 Nnole, sambano akuŵecheta pelanga, nombe ngapagwa mundu jwakuntanjila chachilichose. Uli, ilongola akwimanyilila kuti aju ali Kilisito Jwakuwombola?
Yet look! He is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to Him. Could it be true that the rulers know that this is really the Christ?
27 Pachaiche Kilisito ngapagwa mundu juchakumanye kwakopochele, nambo uweji tukumanyi kwakopochele mundu ju!”
On the other hand, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ comes nobody knows where He is from.”
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,
So Jesus called out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You do know me, and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own, but the One who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
29 uneji ngwamanyilila pakuŵa ngopochele kwa ŵelewo, nombewo ni ŵandumile une.”
I do know Him because I am from Him, and He sent me.”
30 Nipele ŵandu ŵasachile kwakamula, nambo nganapagwa mundu jwalijose jwalinjile kunkwaya, ligongo katema kakwe kaliji kakanaŵe kwika.
So they tried to arrest Him, yet no one laid a hand on 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?”
Now many of the crowd were believing into Him, and they were saying, “Whenever the Christ comes He won't perform more signs than these which this man has done, will He?”
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 about Him, so the Pharisees and the chief priests sent operatives to arrest Him.
33 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Chindame ni ŵanyamwe kwa katema kakajipi, nipele chinyaule kwa ŵandumile ŵala.
Then Jesus said: “For a little while I am still with you, and then I go to the One who sent me.
34 Chimuusose nambo ngamuuwona, pakuŵa pepala pachime ŵanyamwe ngankombolanga kwika.”
You will look for me and not find me; also, where I am 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?
So the Jews said among themselves: “Where does this fellow intend to go that we won't find him? He doesn't intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does he?
36 Ana malumbo gakwe chichi pakuti, ‘Chimuusose nambo ngamuuwona, ni pepala pachime ŵanyamwe ngankombola kwika?’”
What word is this that he spoke, ‘You will look for me and not find me’; also, ‘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.
Now on the last and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood up and called out saying: “If anyone thirsts, 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!’”
The one believing into me, just as the Scripture has said, out from his innermost being will 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 He said this about the Spirit, whom those believing into Him were going to receive, in that the Holy Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)
40 Ŵandu ŵane mu mpingo ula ŵapilikene maloŵe go, ni ŵatite, “Isyene mundu ju ali jwakulondola jula!”
So upon hearing this word many from the crowd began to say, “This One really is ‘the Prophet’!”
41 Ŵandu ŵane ŵatite, “Aju ali Kilisito Jwakuwombola!” Nambo ŵandu ŵane ŵaliji nkuliusya, “Ana ikukomboleka Kilisito akopochele ku Galilaya?
Others were saying, “This One is the Christ!” Others were saying: “Surely the Christ isn't coming out of Galilee, is He?
42 Ana Malembelo ga Akunnungu ngagakuti, ‘Kilisito Jwakuwombola chakopochele mu lukosyo lwa mwenye che Daudi, ni chapagwe ku Beselehemu, musi uŵatemi mwenye che Daudi?’”
Doesn't the Scripture say that the Christ comes out of the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”
43 Nipele, ŵandu ŵa mumpingo ŵalekangene kwa ligongo lya Che Yesu.
So there developed a division in the crowd because of Him.
44 Ŵandu ŵane ŵasachile kwakamula nambo ngapagwa mundu jwalijose juŵankwaiye.
Further, some of them were wanting to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
45 Nipele ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu paŵausile, achakulu ŵambopesi ni Mafalisayo, ŵausisye, “Kwachichi nganimwaichisya Che Yesu?”
Then the operatives came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why haven't you brought him?”
46 Ŵakulindilila ŵala ŵajanjile, “Nganapagwe mundu jwalijose jwakombwele kuŵecheta mpela mundu ju!”
The operatives answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
47 Nipele Mafalisayo ŵausisye, “Ana annambwisye ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe?
So the Pharisees answered them: “You haven't been fooled too, have you?
48 Ana mpatile kumbona jumo jwa ilongola, pane jumo jwa Mafalisayo jwankulupilile jwelejo?
None of the rulers or the Pharisees have believed into him, have they?
49 Ngwamba, nambo ŵandu ŵa ngakugamanyilila malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa, kwayele Akunnungu ŵalwesisye!”
But this crowd that doesn't know the law is accursed!”
50 Jumo jwao ŵaliji che Nikodemu jumo jwa Mafalisayo juŵajaulile Che Yesu kundanda, ŵaasalile achinjakwe,
Nicodemus (the one who came to Him at night, being one of them) says to them,
51 “Malajisyo getu gakusala kuti, ngatukukombola kunlamula mundu jwalijose pangampilikanila kaje ni kwimanyilila chichi chakupanganya.”
“Our law doesn't judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing, does it?”
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: “You aren't from Galilee too, are you? Search and see that no prophet has ever arisen out of Galilee.”
53 Nipele kila mundu ŵausile kumangwakwe.
So each one went to his own house.
