< John 8 >

1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhapite kushitumbi sha Misheituni.
2 And at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.
Malabhi gakwe lyambape gubhapite kabhili ku likanisha. Bhandu bhowe gubhaajendelenje, nigubhatemi kwaajiganyanga.
3 And the scholars and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery. And having stood her in the midst,
Bhai, bhaajiganya bha shalia na Mapalishayo gubhaapeleshelenje bhakongwe bhamo bhaimanilwe nkulabhalabha. Gubhaajimikenje mmujo jabho.
4 tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the act.
Gubhaabhushiyenje a Yeshu, “Mmajiganya! Bhene bhakongwebha bhashiimanilwa nkulabhalabha.
5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou say about her?
Kupitila shalia, a Musha bhatulajile kuti, bhakongwe malinga bhenebha bhakomwe maganga mpaka bhawe. Bhai, mmwe nkuti bhuli?”
6 But they said this, trying him, so that they might have an accusation against him. But Jesus having stooped down, wrote on the ground with his finger, not pretending.
Bhashinkubheleketanga nneyo nkwaatejela, nkupinga bhapatanje shiumilo sha kwaalugula. Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhakotime pai, nijandika na shikowe nnitaka.
7 And when they continued asking him, after standing erect, he said to them, Let the innocent man of you first cast the stone at her.
Bhakapundanjeje kwaabhuya, a Yeshu gubhajinwishe, gubhaalugulilenje, “Mundu jwangali shambi munkumbi gwenunji, abhe jwantai kuleshela liganga.”
8 And again having stooped down, he wrote on the ground.
Kungai gubhakotime kabhili, bhalijandika nnitaka.
9 And they, having heard and being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, having begun from the elder until the last. And Jesus was left behind alone, and the woman being in the midst.
Bhakapilikananjeje nneyo, gubhatandwibhenje kujabhula jumojumo, kutandubhila bhanangulungwa. A Yeshu gubhaigele jikape, na bhakongwe bhala bhajimi pala pepala.
10 And Jesus, after standing erect, and having seen no man but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those accusers of thee? Did no man condemn thee?
A Yeshu bhakajinusheje gubhaabhushiye bhakongwe bhala, “Kubhalinginji kwei bhakunshitakiyanga bhala? Bhuli, jwakwa nkali jumo akunng'ukumula?”
11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and henceforth sin no more.
Bhakongwe bhala gubhajangwile, “Mmakulungwa, jwakwa nkali jumo!” A Yeshu nabhalabho gubhaalugulile, “Nkali nne nganng'ukumula. Mwijendele, tandubhila nnaino nnatende yambi kabhili.”
12 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me would, no, not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.
A Yeshu gubhakungulwishe na bhandunji bhala kabhili, bhalinkuti, “Nne shilangaya sha shilambolyo. Angagula nne, wala akaowa nnubhindu, ikabheje shakole shilangaya sha gumi.”
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy testimony is not valid.
Bhai Ashimapalishayo gubhalugwilenje, “Mmwe nnakwikong'ondela mmayene, kwa nneyo ukong'ondelo gwenu nngabha gwa kweli.”
14 Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I might testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I go, but ye do not know where I come from and where I go.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Nkali monaga ngunakwikong'ondela namwene, ukong'ondelo gwangu gwa kweli, pabha nne nikumanyi kungoposhele na kungwenda. Ikabheje mmanganyanji nkakukumanyanga kungoposhele wala kungwenda.
15 Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man.
Mmanganyanji nnaukumulanga kwa ng'aniyo ya shigundu. Ikabheje nne ngakunng'ukumula mundu.
16 But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
Nkali ng'ukumulaga, ukumu jangu ja kweli, pabha nne puni nngabha jikape, Atati bhandumile pubhali na nne.
17 And also it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is valid.
Shalia jenunji jangajandika Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo kuti, ukong'ondelo gwa bhandu bhabhili ni gwa kweli.
18 I am he who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.
Nne ngunakwikong'ondela namwene, na bhalabho Atati bhandumile bhanangong'ondela nneyo peyo.”
19 They said therefore to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.
Penepo gubhaabhushiyenje, “Ainabhenu kubhali kwei?” A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Mmanganyanji nkaamanyanga nne, wala Atati nkakwaamanyanga. Kaliji nkamanyinji nne, nkali Atati nkaamanyinji.”
20 Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no man seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
A Yeshu pubhabhelekete genego bhalijiganya ku likanisha, tome na pushaaliji shibhiko. Jwakwa mundu abhakamwile, pabha malanga gabho galiji gakanabhe ika. Kungwenda Mmanganya Nkakombolanga Kuika.
21 Jesus therefore again said to them, I go, and ye will seek me, and ye will die in your sin. Where I go, ye cannot come.
A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje kabhili, “Nne ngunakwiijabhulila na mmanganya shinnoleyanje, ikabheje shinng'wanganje na yambi yenunji. Kungwenda nne, mmanganyanji nkakombolanga kuika.”
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, ye cannot come?
Bhai Bhayaudi gubhabheleketenje, “Bhuli bhapinga kwiibhulaga? Pabha bhakuti, ‘Kungwenda mmanganyanji nkakombolanga kuika?’”
23 And he said to them, Ye are from below, I am from above. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world.
A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmanganyanji mmapai pano, nne kungoposhele kunani, mmanganyanji mmapashilambolyo pano, nne nngabha jwa pashilambolyo pano.
24 I said therefore to you that ye will die in your sins. For unless ye believe that I am he, ye will die in your sins.
Lyeneli ni ligongo lya kummalanjilanga kuti shinng'wanganje na yambi yenunji monaga nkakulupalilanje kuti ‘Nne ni Nne,’ kweli shinng'wanganje na yambi yenunji.”
25 They said therefore to him, Who are thou? And Jesus said to them, The beginning, something that I am even telling you.
Na bhalabhonji gubhaabhushiyenje, “Mmwe agani?” A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Ninnugulilenje kuumila kundandubho!
26 I have many things to say and to judge about you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.
Ngwete gamagwinji ga bheleketa na kung'ukumulanga, ikabheje bhandumile bhala bha kweli, nne ngunakwaabhalanjilanga bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo indu imbilikene kopoka kwa bhenebho.”
27 They did not understand that he spoke the Father to them.
Wala bhangang'amulanga kuti a Yeshu bhabheleketaga ga Atati bha kunnungu.
28 Jesus therefore said to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but I speak these things as my Father taught me.
Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Pushimunnjinulanje Mwana juka Mundu kunani, penepo shimmumanyanje kuti ‘Nne ni Nne,’ Na shoshowe shingutenda nngabha shangu namwene, ikabhe gungubheleketa gubhanyigenye Atatipe.
29 And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.
Bhandumile bhala pubhali pamo na nne, bhanganeka jikape, pabha mobha gowe ingutenda ikwaanonyela ila.”
30 As he spoke these things of him, many believed in him.
Pubhabheleketaga genego, bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhaakulupalilenje.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples,
Bhai a Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje Bhayaudi bhaakulupalilangaga bhala, “Monaga nkamulangaga majiganyo gangu shimmanganje bhaajiganywa bhangu bha kweli.
32 and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
Numbe shinnjimanyanje kweli, na kwelijo shijimmikanje muungwana.”
33 They answered to him, We are Abraham's seed, and have been in bondage to no man, ever. How can thou say, Ye will become free?
Na bhalabhonji gubhaajangwilenje, “Uwe lubheleko lwa a Bhulaimu, wala tukanabhebha bhatumwa bhaka mundu jojowe jula. Nkulombola nndi punkulugula, ‘Shimmanganje mmangwana?’”
34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, that every man who does the sin is a bondman of the sin.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, mundu jojowe atenda yambi, ntumwa jwa yambi.
35 And the bondman does not remain in the house into the age. The Son remains into the age. (aiōn g165)
Mobha gowe ntumwa akaabhalanganishiywa nnikaja, ikabheje mwana anatama nnikaja mobha gowe. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son should make you free, ye will truly be free.
Ibhaga mwana shammpanganje ungwana, shimmanganje bhangwana bha kweli.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed, yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
Nimumanyi kuti mmanganyanji lubheleko lwa a Bhulaimu. Nkali nneyo, nnatumbililanga kumulaga kwa ligongo lyangagapinga majiganyo gangu.
38 I speak what I have seen from my Father, and ye therefore do what ye have seen from your father.
Nne ingubheleketa iniibhweni kwa Atati ila, ikabheje mmanganyanji inkutendanga immalanjilwenje na anakulubhenunji.”
39 They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Gubhajangwilenje, “Uwe lubheleko lwa a Bhulaimu!” A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Kaliji mmanganyanji nkalinginji lubheleko lwa a Bhulaimu, nkatendilenje ibhatendaga a Bhulaimu.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
Nne nimmalanjilenje ga kweli jimbipilikene kwa a Nnungu, nkali nneyo, mmanganya nnatumbililanga kumulaga. A Bhulaimu bhangatenda nneyo!
41 Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We were not begotten from fornication. We have one Father, God.
Mmanganya nnatendanga ibhaatenda ainabhenunji.” Penepo gubhaalugulilenje, “Uwe nngabha lubheleko lwa mmaukutu! Tukwete Atati bhamope, yani a Nnungu.”
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me, for I came forth and have come from God. For, neither have I come for myself, but he sent me.
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Kaliji a Nnungu bhakaliji Ainabhenunji nkambinjilenje nne, pabha kungoposhele kwa a Nnungu, na nnaino ng'ishe apano. Nangaika kwa mashili gangu namwene, ikabhe ga bhandumile bhala.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
Kwa nndi nkaelewanga ingubheleketa ino? Pabha nkapinganga kupilikanishiya malobhe gangu.
44 Ye are from the father, the devil, and ye want to do the desires of your father. He was a man-killer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
Mmanganyanji bha lubheleko luka Lishetani na inkupinganga kutenda ya shilokoli shika nng'inagwenunji. Jwenejo paaliji nkubhulaga kuumila kundandubho, wala akapingaga ya kweli, pabha jwangali kweli muntima gwakwe. Yaabheleketa ya unami, gabheleketa gali muntima gwakwe, pabha jwenejo nnami na nng'inamundu jwa unami.
45 And I, because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
Nne kwa ligongo lya bheleketa ga kweli, mmanganyanji nkaangulupalilanga.
46 Which of you convicts me about sin? And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
Gani munkumbi gwenunji akong'ondela kuti nne njikola yambi? Bhai ibhaga ingubheleketa ya kweli, kwa nndi nkangulupalilanga?
47 He who is of God hears the sayings of God. Because of this ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
Jwene ali jwa a Nnungu alipilikana malobhe ga a Nnungu. Ikabheje mmanganyanji nkapilikananga pabha nngabha mmandunji bha a Nnungu.”
48 Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
Bhayaudi gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhuli, twangabheleketa kweli kuti mmwe Mmashamalia, numbe nshikola maoka?”
49 Jesus answered, I have no demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Nne nangali maoka, ikabheje ngunakwaishimiya Atati na mmanganyanji nkang'ishimiyanga.
50 But I seek not my own glory. He is who seeks and judges.
Nne ngaaloleya ukonjelo gwangu namwene, ikabheje bhapali bhamo bhakuuloleya, numbe bhaukumula.
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keeps my word, he will, no, not see death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, akunda malobhe gangu akawa.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and thou say, If any man keeps my word, he will, no, not taste of death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
Bhai, Bhayaudi gubhaajangwilenje, “Nnaino tung'amwile kuti mwe nkwete maoka! A Bhulaimu bhawile, nkali ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhawilenje, mmwe nkuti, ‘Akagulila malobhe gangu akawa!’ (aiōn g165)
53 Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself?
Bhuli mmwe nkwiitenda mmakulungwa kupunda ambuje a Bhulaimu bhawile? Nkali ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhawilenje. Mmwe nkwiitenda agani?”
54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. My Father is he who glorifies me, of whom ye say, He is our God.
A Yeshu gubhajangwile, “Niikuyaga namwene, ukonjelo gwangu nngabha shindu. Atati bhunkwaalugulanga mmanganyanji kuti ainabhenunji ni bhaanguya.
55 And ye do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.
Mmanganyanji nkakwaamanyanga, ikabheje nne naamanyi. Meleketaga kuti ngakwaamanya, shinambile malinga mmanganyanji. Nne naamanyi numbe ngunakamula lilobhe lyabho.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he could see my day, and he saw it, and was glad.
Ainabhenunji a Bhulaimu, bhashinkuangalila bhalibhone lyubha lyangu, numbe bhalibhweni, gubhainonyele.”
57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham?
Bhai, Bhayaudi gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmwe nkanabhe ishila yaka makumi nng'ano, mmwe mwaabhweni a Bhulaimu?”
58 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am.
A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, nne naapali, a Bhulaimu bhakanabhe pagwa.”
59 Therefore they took up stones so that they might throw at him, but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, having passed through the midst of them, and thus passed on.
Penepo gubhalokwetenje maganga nkupinga kwaakoma, ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaijubhile, gubhashoshile ku likanisha.
