John 7
1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Pegamaliki genago, Yesu agendayi ku Galilaya kwenuko. Aganili lepi kugenda pamulima wa Yudea ndava Vachilongosi va Vayawudi vaganayi kumkoma.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
Lukumbi lwa mselebuko wa Vayawudi wewukemelewa vindanda wavi papipi.
3 His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
Hinu, valongo vaki vakamjovela mwene, “Uwuka penapa na uhambayi ku Yudea muni vevakulanda vagawonayi mahengu gaku geukugahenga.
4 For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
Kawaka mundu mweihenga mambu cha mfiyu kuni mwene igana kumanyikana kwa vandu. Ndava wikita mambu ago, hinu jilangilasa kwa vandu va mulima woha.”
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Hati valongo vaki mewawa vamsadika lepi.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Yesu akavajovela, “Lukumbi lwangu lwabwina lwakona kuhika, nambu kwa nyenye lukumbi lwoha lwabwina.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
Vandu va mulima nakuhotola kuvahakalila nyenye, nambu ukunihakalila nene ndava nene nijova kuvya matendu gaki gahakau.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
Nyenye mhamba kumselebuko. Nambu nene nakuhamba kumselebuko wenuwo, muni lukumbi lwangu lwabwina lwakona kuhika.”
9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
Peamalili kujova genago, mwene akasigalila ku Galilaya.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
Valongo vaki pevahambili kumselebuko wa vindanda, Yesu namwene akahamba, nambu lepi hotohoto ndi chamfiyu.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
Vachilongosi va Vayawudi vamlondayi Yesu kumselebuko wenuwo, vakakota “Avi koki?”
12 There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
Pamsambi wa vandu kwavi na vandu vamahele vevajovai chinunu. Vangi pagati yavi vakajova, “Mundu mbwina.” Vangi vakajova, “Mwe! Akuvayaganisa vandu.”
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Nambu avi lepi mundu mweahotwili kujova malovi ga Yesu hotohoto, ndava ya kuvayogopa Vachilongosi va Vayawudi.
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Peyahikili pagati ya mselebuko, Yesu akahamba mu Nyumba ya Chapanga na kutumbula kuwula.
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
Hinu, Vachilongosi va Vayawudi vakakangasa na kujova, “Mundu uyu agamanyili wuli goha aga changali mwene kuwuliwa na mundu?”
16 Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
Penapo Yesu akavayangula, “Mawuliwu genikugawula aga ganamwene lepi, nambu gaki yula mweanitumili.
17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
Mundu mweigana kuhenga gala geigana Chapanga, yati imanya ngati mawuliwu gangu gahumili kwa Chapanga amala nijova namwene.
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Mweijova ga mwene ndu, mwenuyu ilonda ukulu waki mwene, nambu yula mweilonda ukulu wa mweamtumili, ndi chakaka na mugati yaki kawaka uhakau.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
Wu, Musa avapelili lepi Malagizu? Nambu kawaka hati mmonga mweiyidakila Malagizu. Ndava kyani mulonda kunikoma?”
20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
Bahapo msambi wa vandu ukayangula, “Una mizuka veve! Yani mweigana kukukoma?”
21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
Yesu akavayangula, “Nikitili ulangisu umonga na nyenye uvakangisi.
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
Musa avapeli malagizu ga kudumula jandu ndi wahumili lepi kwa Musa muni wahumili kwa vagogo. Hinu nyenye mukumdumula mundu jandu hati Ligono la Kupumulila.
23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
Yakavya mundu idumuliwa jandu Ligono la Kupumulila, ndi muni malagizu ga Musa ukoto kudenywa, hinu ndava kyani mukuniyomela ndava ya kumlamisa mundu mu Ligono la Kupumulila?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
Mkotoka kumuhamula mundu kwa kumlola chakuvala ndu, nambu muhamula cheyiganikiwa.”
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Vandu vangi va pa Yelusalemu vajovili, “Wu, mundu mwenuyu lepi yula vachilongosi vilonda kumkoma?
26 Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
Mlola, ilongela hotohoto kawaka mundu mweakumjovela hati lilovi! Wu yihotoleka vachilongosi vamanyili chakaka, mwenuyu ndi Kilisitu?
27 However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
Nambu Kilisitu peibwela avi lepi mundu yati imanya ihumila koki. Nambu tete tikumanyi kwe ahumili mundu uyu!”
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
Hinu, Yesu peavili mukuwula Munyumba ya Chapanga akajova kwa lwami, “Mwe! Mnimanyili, hati kwe nihumili mukukumanya? Nene nibweli lepi kwa uhotola wangu. Muni mwene mweanitumili nene ndi wa chakaka, na nyenye nakummanya,
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
nambu nene nimmanyili ndava nihumili kwaki, mwene ndi mweanitumili.”
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Hinu, vandu vakalonda kumkamula, nambu kawaka mundu mweatalambwili chiwoko kumpamisa ndava lukumbi lwaki lwavi lwakona kuhika.
31 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he will not do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
Vandu vamahele mu msambi wula vamsadiki, vakajova, “Peibwela Kilisitu Msangula, yati ihenga milangisu ya kukangasa yamahele neju kuliku yeihenga mundu uyu?”
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Vafalisayu vevayuwini vandu vijova ga pahi ndava ya Yesu. Hinu, vene pamonga na Vamteta vakulu va Chapanga vavatumili valonda va nyumba ya Chapanga vamkamulayi.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
Yesu akajova, “Nakona nivii pamonga na nyenye palukumbi luhupi, kangi nihamba kwa mwene mweanitumili.
34 You will seek me and will not find me. You cannot come where I am.”
Yati mukunilonda nambu nakuniwona, na penivya nene, nyenye nakuhotola kuhika.”
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we will not find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
Vachilongosi va Vayawudi vakajovesana vene kwa vene, “Mundu mwenuyu yati ihamba koki kwe nakuhotola kumkamula? Yati ihamba kumiji ya Vagiliki, kwevahamalili vandu vitu na kuvawula Vagiliki?
36 What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and will not find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”
Mwenuyu ijova kyani peijova, yati mukunilonda nambu nakuniwona na pala penivya nene nyenye nakuhotola kuhika?”
37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
Ligono la kumalakisa mselebuko wenuwo ndi lavi ligono likulu, Yesu akayima na kujova kwa lwami mundu mweavi na njota ndi abwela kwanene anywayi.
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
Ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, mweakunisadika nene, mifuleni ya manji yeyileta wumi yati yihelela mumtima waki.
39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Ajovili genago kumvala Mpungu Msopi kuvya vevakumsadika vala yati vakumpokela. Lukumbi lwenulo Mpungu Msopi avi akona kuhika, ndava Yesu avi akona kupewa ukulu na Chapanga.
40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
Vandu vangi mu msambi wula pevayuwini malovi ago, vakajova, “Chakaka mundu uyu ndi yula mlota wa Chapanga!”
41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Vangi vakajova, “mwenuyu ndi Kilisitu.” Nambu vangi vakajova, “Wu, yihotoleka Kilisitu kuhuma ku Galilaya?
42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
Wu, Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova wuli? Gijova Kilisitu yati ihumila mu lukolo lwa Daudi na ivelekewa ku Betelehemu, pamuji wa Daudi.”
43 So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
Hinu, mu msambi wula mpechenganu wahumalili ndava ya Yesu.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Vandu vangi vaganayi kumkamula nambu avi lepi mundu mweatalambwili chiwoko chaki kumpamisa.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why did not you bring him?”
Kangi valonda vala vakavahambila Vakulu va kuteta va Chapanga na Vafalisayu. Ndi vene vakavakota valonda, “Ndava kyani, mwangamleta Yesu?”
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
Valonda vala vakayangula, “Avi lepi mundu mweamali kujova vindu vyeajovili mundu uyu!”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You are not also led astray, are you?
Vafalisayu vakavakota, “Wu, na nyenye mkongiwi mewa?
48 Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
Wu, mumuwene hati mmonga wa chilongosi wa vandu, amala mmonga wa Vafalisayu mweakumsadika?
49 But this multitude that does not know the law is cursed.”
Lepi, nambu msambi wenuwo vangamanya Malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa, vapeliwi likoto na Chapanga!”
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
Mmonga wavi avi Nikodemu mweamuhambili Yesu magono ga mumbele. Hinu mwene akavajovela.
51 “Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
“Malagizu gitu gijova tikumuhamula lepi mundu changali kumuyuwanila na kumanya ahengili kyani?”
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
Vene vakamyangula, “Wu, na veve mewa uhumili ku Galilaya? Hinu ukagasoma bwina Mayandiku Gamsopi wamwene yati wilola kuvya ku Galilaya katu nakuhuma mlota wa Chapanga!”
53 Everyone went to his own house,
Penapo kila mmonga awuyili kunyumba yaki.
