Yohana 8
1 Pakumala yeleyo Che Yesu ŵajawile ku chikwesya cha Miseituni.
Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Malaŵi jakwe kundaŵi pe, Che Yesu ŵajawile sooni pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Ŵandu wose ŵansyungwile, nombewo ŵatemi ni kutanda kwajiganya.
Early in the morning he came to the temple again, and all the people came; he sat down and taught them.
3 Nipele Ŵakwiganya malajisyo pamo ni Mafalisayo ŵannyichenawo jwankongwe juŵakamwilwe ali nkutenda chikululu. Ŵanjimiche jwankongwe jo paujo pa ŵandu.
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery. They placed her in the middle.
4 Nipele ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Jwakwiganya, jwankongwe ju akamwilwe ali nkutenda chikululu.
Then they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.
5 Mmalajisyo getu che Musa ŵatulajisye yele, jwankongwe mpela aju aulajikwe kwa kuputikwa ni maganga. Nambi mmwejo nkuti uli?”
Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such people; what do you say about her?”
6 Ŵatite yeleyo kuti ŵalinje Che Yesu akole chakumbechetela. Nambo Che Yesu ŵakoteme ni kulemba paasi ni chala chakwe.
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 Paŵapundile kumbusya, Che Yesu ŵajinamukwiche ni kwasalila, “Naga kwana mundu jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe jwanganakola sambi aŵe jwaandanda kumponya liganga.”
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 Nipele ŵakoteme sooni ni kulemba paasi.
Again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
9 Paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵatandite kutyoka jumo jumo achilongolelaga achachekulu. Che Yesu ŵasigele jikape ni jwankongwe jula ali ajimi palapala.
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 Ni Che Yesu paŵajinamukwiche ŵambusisye jwankongwe jula, “Amao, ŵandu ŵala alinji kwapi? Uli, ngapagwa jwanlamwile mmwejo?”
Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11 Jwankongwe jula ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, ngapagwa namose jumo jwanamwile!” Nombe Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Uneji nombe ngangunlamula. Njaule, nambo kutandila sambano nkatenda sambi sooni.”
She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”]
12 Che Yesu ŵakungulwiche sooni ni ŵandu achitiji, “Uneji ndili lilanguka lya pachilambo pano. Mundu jwalijose jwakunguya uneji ngajenda mu chipi ng'o, nambo chakole ni lilanguka lya umi.”
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 Nipele Mafalisayo ŵansalile, “Nkusala umboni wenu mwasyene, sambano umboni wenu uli wa unami.”
The Pharisees said to him, “You bear witness about yourself; your witness is not true.”
14 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Atamuno nasalaga umboni wangu nansyene, umboni wangu uli usyene ligongo uneji nakumanyi kungopochele ni kungwaula. Nambo mwanya ngankukumanyilila kungopochele ni kungwaula.
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 Ŵanyamwe nkulamula kwa ng'anisyo sya chiundu nambo uneji ngangunlamula mundu.
You judge according the flesh; I judge no one.
16 Naatamuno nalamulaga, ulamusi wangu uli usyene ligongo uneji ngangupanganya masengo jika, Atati ŵandumile une wo ali pamo ni une.
Yet if I judge, my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 Ilembekwe mmalajisyo genu, umboni wa ŵandu ŵaŵili uli wa usyene.
Yes, and in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Uneji ngusala umboni wangu nansyene, ni Atati ŵandumile nombe akusala umboni wangu.”
I am he who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”
19 Pelepo ŵambusisye, “Ana Atati ŵenu ali kwapi?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe ngankuumanyilila uneji atamuno ngankummanyilila Atati ŵangu. Nkaamanyilile uneji nkaamanyilile Atati ŵangu nombe.”
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 Che Yesu ŵaŵechete maloŵe go mu chuumba cha mbiko, paŵaliji nkwiganya pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Ni nganapagwa mundu juŵankamwile pakuŵa katema kakwe kaliji kakanaŵe kwika.
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 Che Yesu ŵaasalile sooni, “Uneji ngwaula ni ŵanyamwe chimuusose, nambo chimmwe mu sambi syenu. Kungwaula uneji, ŵanyamwe ngankombola kwika.”
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 Nipele, achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵatite, “Ana chaliulaje? Ana kwa ligongo chi akuti, ‘Kungwaula ŵanyamwe ngankombola kwika?’”
The Jews said, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?”
23 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe nkopochele papapa pachilambo cha paasi, nambo uneji ngopochele kwinani. Ŵanyamwe nlinji ŵa pachilambo pano, nambo uneji nguniŵa jwa pachilambo pano.
Jesus said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Kwaligongo lyo nansalile kuti chimmwe mu sambi syenu. Pakuŵa ngankukulupilila kuti, ‘Uneji ndili jwelejo’ chimmwe mu sambi syenu.”
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 Nombe ŵanyawo ŵambusisye, “Ana mmwejo ni ŵaani?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uneji ndili jwelejo, mpela inansalile chitandile kundanda!
They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I have said to you from the beginning.
26 Ngwete yejinji yakuŵecheta ni kulamula nkati ŵanyamwe. Nambo ŵandumile une ali ŵausyene, none ngwasalila ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo yeila pe imbilikene kutyochela kwa ŵelewo.”
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 Ŵanyawo nganaimanyilila kuti Che Yesu ŵaŵechetaga nawo yankati ngani sya Akunnungu, Atati ŵao.
They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.
28 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Pachimunnyakule Mwana jwa Mundu, pelepo ni pachimmanyilile kuti, ‘Uneji ndili jwelejo,’ ni chimmanyilile kuti ngangupanganya chachili chose nansyene, nambo nguŵecheta yeila pe inyiganyikwe ni Atati.
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 Ŵandumile ŵala ali pamo ni uneji, nganaaneka jika, pakuŵa moŵa gose nguitendekanya aila yaikwanonyela.”
He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.”
30 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵampilikanile Che Yesu achiŵechetaga maloŵe ga ŵankulupilile.
As Jesus was saying these things, many believed in him.
31 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakulupilile ŵala kuti, “Mwaikamulichisyaga inanjigenye, chimme ŵakulijiganya ŵangu ŵa usyenesyene.
Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples;
32 Chimuumanyilile usyene, ni usyene wo chiuntende ŵalecheleswe.”
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 Nombe ŵanyawo ŵanjanjile, “Tuli uŵelesi u che Iblahimu ni nganituŵa achikapolo ŵa mundu jwalijose. Ana malumbo gakwe chichi pankuti, ‘Chinchilecheleswa?’”
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 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Ngunsalila isyene, mundu jwalijose jwakutendekanya sambi ali kapolo jwa sambi.
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 Nipele Mwana annechelesyaga ŵanyamwe nombe chimbe ŵalecheleswe kusyenesyene.
Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.
37 Naimanyi kuti ŵanyamwe nlinji uŵelesi u che Iblahimu. Nambo nkusaka kumulaga ligongo nkugakana majiganyo gangu.
I know that you are Abraham's descendants; you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you.
38 Uneji nguŵecheta aila pe yanosisye Atati ŵangu, nambo ŵanyamwe nkupanganya aila yansalile atati ŵenu.”
I say what I have seen with my Father, and you also do what you heard from your father.”
39 Ŵanyawo ŵanjanjile, “Uweji Atati ŵetu ali che Iblahimu!” Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe nkaŵe ŵanache ŵa che Iblahimu nkaitendekenye aila iŵaitendekenye che Iblahimu.
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 Uneji nansalile usyene unaupilikene kutyochela kwa Akunnungu, atamuno yeleyo ŵanyamwe nkusaka kumulaga. Che Iblahimu nganapanganya yeleyo!
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 Ŵanyamwe nkutendekanya ilaila yaitesile atati ŵenu.” Ŵanyawo ŵansalile, “Uweji nganitupagwe kwa chikululu! Tukwete atati ŵamope, ŵelewo ali Akunnungu.”
You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born in sexual immorality; we have one Father: God.”
42 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ikaŵe Akunnungu ali Atati ŵenu, nkaanonyele uneji pakuŵa uneji natyosile kwa Akunnungu ni sambano ndili papapa pepa. Nguniika kwa malamulo gangu nansyene nambo kwa malamulo ga ŵandumile une wo.
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 Ana kwachichi ngankugapilikanichisya ginguŵecheta ga? Ligongo ngankusaka kugapilikana maloŵe gangu.
Why do you not understand my words? It is because you cannot hear my words.
44 Ŵanyamwe atati ŵenu Jwakulinga ni ŵanyamwe nkusaka kutendekanya yaikwanonyelesya atati ŵenu. Chitandile kundanda jwelejo ŵaliji jwakuulaga, ni nganawai kwima ku upande wa usyene, mwa jwelejo nganiupagwa usyene. Paakuŵecheta ya unami, akuŵecheta yatite kusyoŵelela, pakuŵa jwelejo ali jwa unami ni atati jwa unami wose.
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 Pakuŵa uneji ngunsalila usyene, ŵanyamwe ngankungulupilila.
Yet, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Mwa ŵanyamwe nduni juchakombole kuŵalanga umboni kuti uneji ngwete sambi? Ana iŵaga nguŵecheta usyene, kwachichi ngankungulupilila?
Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu akugapilikana maloŵe gakuŵecheta Akunnungu, ŵanyamwe ngankupilikana pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nganimma ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu.”
He who is of God hears the words of God; you do not hear them because you are not of God.”
48 Ŵayahudi ŵanjanjile Che Yesu, “Ana nganitusala uchenene kuti mmwejo ndi Msamalia ni sooni nkwete lisoka?”
The Jews answered and said to him, “Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
49 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uneji nganingola lisoka. Uneji ngwachimbichisya Atati ŵangu, nambo ŵanyamwe ngankunjimbichisya une.
Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 Uneji ngangulisosela ukulu wangu nansyene. Apali jumo jwakuusosela ukulu wo, nombejo ali jwakulamula.
I do not seek my glory; there is one seeking and judging.
51 Ngunsalila isyene, mundu jwalijose jwakugakamulichisya majiganyo gangu ngaawa nambo chatame moŵa gose pangali mbesi.” (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” (aiōn g165)
52 Ŵayahudi ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Sambano twimanyi uchenene kuti mmwejo nkwete lisoka! Che Iblahimu ŵawile, ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵawile iyoyo peyo, nomwe nkuti, ‘Mundu jwalijose agakamulichisyaga majiganyo gangu ngaawa!’ (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 Ana mmwejo nkulitenda ŵakulungwa kwapunda atati ŵetu che Iblahimu juŵawile jula? Natamuno ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵawile nombewo. Sambano mmwejo nkulitenda ŵaani?”
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 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nalikusyaga une nansyene, ukulu wangu ngaŵa chindu. Atati ŵangu ŵankwaŵilanga Akunnungu ŵenu, ŵelewo ni ŵakungusya une.
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 Ŵanyamwe ngannaŵe kwamanyilila, nambo uneji naamanyi. Nombe nasalaga kuti ngangwamanyilila, chime jwaunami mpela ŵanyamwe. Uneji ngwamanyilila ni ngulikamulichisya liloŵe lyao.
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 Atati ŵenu che Iblahimu ŵasangalele aliwone lyuŵa lya kwika kwangu, nombewo ŵaliweni ni ŵasengwile.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced at seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
57 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵaasalile, “Mmwejo nkuti uli kuti mwaweni che Iblahimu nomwe nganinnyiche yaka makumi nsano?”
The Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?”
58 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngunsalila isyene, akanaŵe kupagwa che Iblahimu uneji napali.”
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
59 Pelepo ŵalokwete maganga achisakaga kwaponya, nambo Che Yesu ŵaalesile ni kutyoka pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
