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 was walking in Galilee; for he was not wishing, in Judaea, to be walking, because the Jews were seeking to slay him.
2 Chindimba cha Ŵayahudi cha masakasa chaŵandichile.
But the feast of the Jews was near, that of the pitching of tents.
3 Nipele achapwakwe Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ntyoche pelepa njaule ku Yudea kuti ŵakunkuya mmwe nombewo aiwone yakusimonjeka inkwipanganya.
His brethren, therefore, said unto him—Remove hence, and withdraw into Judaea, that, thy disciples also, may view thy works which thou art doing.
4 Ngapagwa mundu jwakupanganya chindu kwakulisisa iŵaga akusaka kumanyika ni ŵandu. Pakuŵa nkupanganya yelei, nlilosye mwasyene kwa ŵandu ŵa pachilambo.”
For, no one, anything in secret, doeth, and yet is seeking, himself, to be well-known. If, these things, thou art doing, manifest thyself unto the world.
5 Namose achapwakwe nganiŵakulupilila.
For, not even his brethren, were believing on him.
6 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Katema kambone kukwangu kakanaŵe kwika, kukwenu ŵanyamwe katema kakalikose kali kambone.
Jesus, therefore, saith unto them—My season, not yet, is here; but, your season, at anytime, is 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, bear witness concerning it, that, the works thereof, are, wicked.
8 Ŵanyamwe njaule kuchindimba cho. Uneji ngunyaula kuchindimba cho pakuŵa katema kambone kukwangu kakanaŵe kwika.”
Ye, go up unto the feast: I, not yet, am coming up unto this feast, because, my season, not yet, hath fully come.
9 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo ni kusigala pa Galilaya palapala.
And, these things, having said unto them, he was still abiding 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 unto the feast, then, he also, went up, —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, were seeking him in the feast, and were saying—Where is that one?
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 great, murmuring, about him among the multitudes: some, indeed, were saying—Good, is he! [but], others, were saying—Not so! but he is leading the multitude astray.
13 Atamuno yeleyo ngapagwa mundu jwalijose jwalinjile kuŵecheta ngani syakwe pelanga kwa ligongo lya kwajogopa achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi.
No one, nevertheless, was speaking, openly, about him, because of their fear of the Jews.
14 Chindimba cho pichaŵandichile kumala, Che Yesu ŵajawile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kutanda kwiganya.
Presently, however, the feast being at its height, Jesus went up unto the temple and was teaching.
15 Nipele achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵasimosile ni kuti, “Ana mundu ju agapatile kwapi majiganyo ga, nombejo nganajaule kukulijiganya?”
The Jews, therefore, began to marvel, saying—How, doth this one know, letters, not having learned?
16 Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Majiganyo gungwiganya nganigaŵa gangu, nambo gakutyochela kwa ŵelewo ŵandumile une.
Jesus, therefore, answered them, and said—My teaching, 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 any one intend, his will, to do, he shall get to know concerning the teaching—whether it is, of God, or, I, from myself, am speaking,
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, from himself, doth speak, his own glory, is seeking: he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same, is, true, and, injustice, in him, is there none.
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, doeth the law!—Why, seek ye, to slay, me?
20 Papopo mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu wajanjile, “Ana mmwe nkwete masoka! Nduni jwakusaka kummulaga mmwe?”
The multitude answered—A demon, thou hast: Who, is seeking, to slay, thee?
21 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Mbanganyisye chakusimonjeka chimo ni ŵanyamwe nkuchisimonga.
Jesus answered, and said unto them—One work, I did, and ye, all, are marvelling:
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.
For this cause, Moses, hath given you, circumcision, —not that, of Moses, it is, but of the fathers; —and, on Sabbath, ye 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, circumcision, a man receiveth, on Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, with me, are ye bitter as gall, because, a whole man, I made, well, on Sabbath?
24 Kasinlamula kwa meeso pe, nambo nlamule kwa goloka.”
Be not judging according to appearance, but, just judgment, be judging,
25 Ŵandu ŵane ŵa ku Yelusalemu ŵatandite kuliusya, “Ana mundu ju ngaŵa ajula jwakusosekwa ni ilongola kuti ammulaje?
So then, some of them of Jerusalem were saying—Is not, this, he whom they are seeking to kill?
26 Nnole, sambano akuŵecheta pelanga, nombe ngapagwa mundu jwakuntanjila chachilichose. Uli, ilongola akwimanyilila kuti aju ali Kilisito Jwakuwombola?
And yet, see! with freedom of speech, he is talking, and, nothing, unto him, do they say: —Have the rulers perhaps come to know, of a truth, that, this, is, the Christ?
27 Pachaiche Kilisito ngapagwa mundu juchakumanye kwakopochele, nambo uweji tukumanyi kwakopochele mundu ju!”
But, as for this one, we know whence he is; The Christ, however, whensoever he shall come, no one, getteth to know 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 aloud in the temple, teaching, and saying—Both me, ye know, and ye know whence I am, —and yet, of myself, have I not come, but he is real, who sent me, whom, ye, know not.
29 uneji ngwamanyilila pakuŵa ngopochele kwa ŵelewo, nombewo ni ŵandumile une.”
I, know him, because, from him, I am, and, he, sent me forth.
30 Nipele ŵandu ŵasachile kwakamula, nambo nganapagwa mundu jwalijose jwalinjile kunkwaya, ligongo katema kakwe kaliji kakanaŵe kwika.
They were seeking therefore to seize him; and yet no one laid on him his hand, because, not yet, had come his hour.
31 Mumpingo wa ŵandu mula, ŵandu ŵajinji ŵakulupilile ni kuti, “Ana aikaga Kilisito Jwakuwombola chapanganye imanyisyo yekulungwa kupunda ayiyi yakuitendekanya aŵa?”
But, from amongst the multitude, many, believed on him, and were saying—The Christ, whensoever he cometh, greater signs, will he do, than those which, this one, did?
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 hearkened unto the multitude murmuring concerning him these things; and the High-priests and the Pharisees sent forth officers, that they might seize him.
33 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Chindame ni ŵanyamwe kwa katema kakajipi, nipele chinyaule kwa ŵandumile ŵala.
Jesus, therefore, said—Yet a little time, I am, with you, and withdraw unto him that sent me:
34 Chimuusose nambo ngamuuwona, pakuŵa pepala pachime ŵanyamwe ngankombolanga kwika.”
Ye shall seek me, and 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 unto themselves—Whither, is, this one, about to go, that we shall not find him? Unto the dispersion of the Greeks, is he about to go, and teach the Greeks?
36 Ana malumbo gakwe chichi pakuti, ‘Chimuusose nambo ngamuuwona, ni pepala pachime ŵanyamwe ngankombola kwika?’”
What, is this which he said: Ye shall seek me and 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.
Now, on the last—the great—day of the feast, Jesus was standing, and he cried aloud, saying—If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink:
38 Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, ‘Jwakungulupilila uneji, sulo sya meesi gagakwikanawo umi chigajilime kutyochela nkati mwao!’”
He that believeth on me—just as said the Scripture, —River, from within him, shall flow, 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, spake he concerning the Spirit which they who believed on him were about to receive; for, not yet, was there Spirit, because, Jesus, not yet, was glorified!
40 Ŵandu ŵane mu mpingo ula ŵapilikene maloŵe go, ni ŵatite, “Isyene mundu ju ali jwakulondola jula!”
Some from amongst the multitude, therefore, having hearkened unto these words, were saying—This, is, in truth, 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, is, the Christ. But, others, were saying—Out of Galilee, is, the Christ, to come?
42 Ana Malembelo ga Akunnungu ngagakuti, ‘Kilisito Jwakuwombola chakopochele mu lukosyo lwa mwenye che Daudi, ni chapagwe ku Beselehemu, musi uŵatemi mwenye che Daudi?’”
Hath not the Scripture said: Of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was, cometh the Christ?
43 Nipele, ŵandu ŵa mumpingo ŵalekangene kwa ligongo lya Che Yesu.
A division, therefore, arose in the multitude, because of him.
44 Ŵandu ŵane ŵasachile kwakamula nambo ngapagwa mundu jwalijose juŵankwaiye.
Certain, indeed, from among them, were wishing to seize him; but, no one, thrust upon him his hands.
45 Nipele ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu paŵausile, achakulu ŵambopesi ni Mafalisayo, ŵausisye, “Kwachichi nganimwaichisya Che Yesu?”
So then the officers came unto the High-priests and Pharisees, and, they, said unto them—For what cause, have ye not brought him?
46 Ŵakulindilila ŵala ŵajanjile, “Nganapagwe mundu jwalijose jwakombwele kuŵecheta mpela mundu ju!”
The officers answered—Never, man spake thus!
47 Nipele Mafalisayo ŵausisye, “Ana annambwisye ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe?
The Pharisees, therefore, answered them—Surely, ye also, have not been led astray?
48 Ana mpatile kumbona jumo jwa ilongola, pane jumo jwa Mafalisayo jwankulupilile jwelejo?
Surely, none of the rulers, hath believed in him, nor of the Pharisees?
49 Ngwamba, nambo ŵandu ŵa ngakugamanyilila malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa, kwayele Akunnungu ŵalwesisye!”
But, this multitude, that take no note of the law, are, laid under a curse.
50 Jumo jwao ŵaliji che Nikodemu jumo jwa Mafalisayo juŵajaulile Che Yesu kundanda, ŵaasalile achinjakwe,
Nicodemus saith unto them—he that came unto him formerly, being, one, from among them—
51 “Malajisyo getu gakusala kuti, ngatukukombola kunlamula mundu jwalijose pangampilikanila kaje ni kwimanyilila chichi chakupanganya.”
Surely, our law, doth not judge the man, unless it hear first from him, and get to know what he is doing?
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 unto him—Surely, thou also, art not, of Galilee? Search and see! That, out of Galilee, a prophet is not to arise.
53 Nipele kila mundu ŵausile kumangwakwe.
And they went, each unto his own house;
