< 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.
Pamande ye mambo ega oYesu asafiliye eshi hu Galilaya, afuatanaje sagaasongwelwe abhala huu Yahudi afwatanaje huuyahudi wapangaga ahubude.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
Eshi eshikulukulu sha Yahudi, eshi kulukulu ye Vibanda, ya pepee.
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.
Aholo wakwe nkabhozya, “Sogala apantu epa obhale hu Yahudi, abhanafunzi bhaho bhagalole amambo gobhomba.
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.”
Nomo wabhomba lyolyonti hu shi siri nkashe omwene yoyo ahwanza ajulihane pazelu. Nkashe obhomba ega, hwilanje wewe hwabha munsi.”
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Hata bhaholo bhakwe sebhamwetesheye.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
O Yesu nkabhabhozya, “Insiku zyane sezifishile bado, ila ensiku zyenyu kila muda zihweli.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
Abhamunsi sebhawezizye abhavitwe amwe, ila bhamvitwa ane afuatane embahakikisya aje ambombo zyao mbibhi.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
Zubhaji abhale hu shikulukulu; ane sembala hu shikulukulu afuatanaje omuda gwane guli seele afishe.”
9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
Nayanga enongwa izyo hwa bhahala, asageye hu 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.
Hata sheshi, aholo bhakwe na bhabhalile hushikulukulu wope nkahabhala, sio apazelu bali pasirisiri.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
Ayahudi bhali bhahufuata hushikulukulu naje, “Ali hwii?”
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.”
Hwali no luyangano lwinji muhati mlubhongano ahusu omwene. Wamo bhajile, “Muntu mwinza.” Bhamwabho wajile, “Ndadi abhatezya olubhongano.”
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Hata sheshi nomo wayanjile pazelu ahusu omwahale afuatanaje bhabhogope Ayahudi.
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Ensiku zye shikulukulu nazyahali katikati, oYesu azubhile abhale mshibhanza na hwande asambelezye.
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
Ayahudi bhaswigaga na nayanje, “Huu namna wele omuntu amanye enongwa enyinji? Sasambeleye nkahashe.”
16 Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
O Yesu ayanga naje, “Emanyizyo zyane se zyaline, ila zyoola wantumile.
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.
Nkashe wawonti anzasongwe abhombe olusongwo lwakwe omwene, anzamanye emanyizyo ezi, aje zifuma hwa Ngolobhe, au aje eyanga afume huline nene.
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.
Shila wayanga gagafuma hwa mwene yoyo ahwenza umwamu wakwe, na shila wahwanza oumwamu wakwe omwene wantumile, omuntu omuntu oyo we lyoli, na muhati yakwe nahumo abhombeshe zye malenka.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
O Musa sagabhapiye amwe endajizyo? Ila nomo hata weka hulimwe wabhomba endajizyo. Yenyu muhwanza ambude?
20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
Amabhongano gayanga, “Aje oli na mapepo. Wenu wahanza ahubude?”
21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
O Yesu wayanga wagaa, “Ombombile embombo yeeka, namwe mwenti muswijile afuatanajenesho.
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
O Musa abhapiye etohara (sio aje efuma hwa Musa, ila efuma hwa daada), na hu Sabato mhutahiri omuntu.
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?
Nkashe omuntu anzaposhele etohara hwi siku lye Sabato aje endajizyo zya Musa zinganje nankanywe, yeenu munvitwa ane afwatanaje ebheshele omuntu abhe mwinza kabisa hu Sabato?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
Mganje alonje alengane sha mlola, ila alonje hulyoli.
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Bhamo bhamo uYelusalemu bhaga, “Seyayono wabhahu mwanza ahude?
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?
Enya, oyanga pazelu, na sebhayanga hahonti alengane no mwene. Sawezizye aje egabha aje alongozi bhamenye elyoli aje ono yo Kilisiti, ewezizye abhe?
27 However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
Timenye aje omuntu ono afumila hwii. O Kilisti lwayenza, atasheshii, nomo wailola aje afuma hwii.”
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.
O Yesu afumiaga izu lyakwe mwibhanza, asambele zyaga naje, “Amwe mwenti mumenye ane na mumeenye hwe fuma. Senamenye hubele gwane, ila omwene wantumile welyoli, semumenye omwene.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
Emenye omwene afuatanaje enfumile hwa mwene na antumile.”
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Bhalenga ahaate, ila nomo ata omo wabhosezye okhono gwakwe ahusu omwene afuatanaje esaa yakwe yaali seele afishe.
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?”
Hata sheshi bhinji mubhongano bhamwetesheye. Bhajile, “Kilisiti lwa yeenza, aibhomba embombo nyinji ashile zyabhombile omuntu ono?”
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Amafarisayo bhabhonvwezye amawongano wakwepelena enongwa ezi eshi oYesu, na agosi bha dimi na Mafarisayo bhatumile amaafisa aje ahukhate.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
O Yesu nkayanga, “Ali seele insiku ndodo embabhe pandwemo namwe, napamande naibhala hwa mwene wantumile.
34 You will seek me and will not find me. You cannot come where I am.”
Munanza ila semubhandole; hula hwembala, semubhawezye ahwenze.”
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?
Abhayaudi bhayangama bhene hu bhene, “Omuntu ono anzabhale hwii aje tipotwe ahulole? Anzabhale hwa bhabhanyampene mhati ya yunanu bhamanyinzye Ayunani?
36 What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and will not find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”
Nongwa bhole ene yayanjile, 'Mwainanza nantele semwainaga; hula hwembala semwaiwezya ahwenze'?”
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!
Esalezi hunsiku zya mwisho, isiku igosi lye shikulukulu, pYesu ahemeleye azurizwe izu ajile, “Nkashe wa wonti ali ne sshomelwa, ayenze huline amwele.
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
Omwene waneteshe ane, nanshi amazu shagayanjile, afume mhati yakwe ganza hwiteshe amasoho gemenze gewomi.”
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.
Ila ayanji ega alengane hushi Roho, afuatanaje bhala bhabhamwetesheye bhayihuposhela; Ompempo ali seele safumiziwe alengane naje oYesu ali samwamihwe.
40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
Bhamo bhelubhongano, nabhahomvwezye enongwa eezi, bhajile, “Yoli ono kuwaa.”
41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Bhamo bhayanjile, “Ono Kilisiti.” Ila bhamo bhamo bhajile, “yenu, oKilisiti awezya afume hu Galilaya?
42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
Amaazu segayanga aje oKilisiti aifuma hushikholo sha Daudi na afume hubenselehemu, hushi jiji shahali oDaudi?
43 So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
Shesho, pala pabhoha olugabhano mhati yelubhongamo alengane no mwahale.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Bhamo mhati yabho handabhakhete, ila nomo wagolosezye okhono gwakwe hwa mwene.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why did not you bring him?”
Bhala ofisa bhawela hwa gosi adimi na Mafarisayo, bhope bhabhabhozya, “Yenu semletile?”
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
Amaofisa bhajile, “Nomo omunti wawayile ayanje nanshi ono haani.”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You are not also led astray, are you?
Amafarisayo nkabhahaga, “Namwe nantele mtejile?
48 Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
Ahweli omuntu wawonti hwa gosi wahumweteha, au wawonti hwa Mafarisayo?
49 But this multitude that does not know the law is cursed.”
Ila ebha amabhongano bhasebhemenye endwajizyo - wapete amakhosi.”
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
O Nikodemo abhabhozya (omwene wabhaliye oYesu imwaha, ali pamo na Mafarisayo),
51 “Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
“Aje endajizyo zyetu ziholonga omuntu ila atejezewe na soti na amanye habhomba?”
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
Bhayanjile na hubhozye, “Ivi nawe ofumila hu Galilaya? Anza na oyenye aje nomo okuwaa wafumila hu Galilaya.”
53 Everyone went to his own house,
Pamande shila munti ahabhala akhaya yakwe.
