John 7
1 After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.
Panyuma pakendi Yesu walikwendana mucishi ca Galileya, nkalikuyanda kuya Yudeya. Pakwinga bamakulene Babayuda balikuyanda kumushina.
2 However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.
Cindi cakusekelela mishasha calikuba pepi,
3 So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.
lino bakwabo Yesu balamwambileti, “Inga nicani kutaya kuYudeya kwambeti beshikwiya bakobe bakabone bikankamanisho mbyolenshinga.
4 For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”
Kuliya muntu ukute kusoleka mbyalenshinga na kayanda kwinshibikwa. Kwelana ne mbyolenshinga leka bantu bonse bakwinshibe.”
5 For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.
Nambi bamakwabo balambeco nkabali kumushoma.
6 Therefore Jesus told them, “Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.
Yesu walabambileti, “Cindi cakame nkacitana cishika, nsombi amwe mukute cindi cakuya kulikonse nkomulayandanga.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.
Bantu basuni byapanshi pano nkabela kumupata, nsombi bakute kupata njame, pakwinga nkute kubalesha ncito shabo shaipa.
8 Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”
Amwe kamuyani akusekelela uko. Ame nkandengonga pakwinga cindi cakame nkacina cishika.”
9 Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.
Yesu mpwalambeco, walashalila mu Galileya.
10 But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.
Nomba bamakwabo mpobalaya akusekelela mishasha isa, Yesu neye walabakonkela. Nomba liya kuyanda kubonekela kubantu.
11 So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”
Bamakulene ba Bayuda balikumuyandaula uko nkobalikusekelela, nkabepushaneti, “Nomba usa muntu ulikupeyo?”
12 Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”
Popelapo palikuba kunung'unusha palyendiye. Bambi balikwambeti, “Usa muntu waina”Nsombi bambi balikwambeti, “Sobwe, usa layungaulunga bantu.”
13 Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.
Nomba nkapalikuba muntu weshikwamba patuba sha Yesu, pakwinga balikutina Bayuda.
14 About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.
Lino kusekelela mpokwalashika pakati, Yesu walaya ku Nga'nda ya Lesa nekutatika kwiyisha.
15 The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”
Bamakulene ba Bayuda balakankamana nekwambeti, “Nomba muntu uyu ubinshi aconi bintu ibi pabula balamwiyishapo!”
16 “My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.
Nomba Yesu walambeti, “Mbyonkute kwiyisha nte byakame sobwe, nsombi bikute kufuma kuli Bata abo balantuma.
17 If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.
Uliyense layandanga kwinsa kuyanda kwa Lesa, nakenshibeti kwiyisha kwakame kulafumunga kuli Lesa nteko kuli ndemwine
18 He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.
Pakwinga muntu lambangowa byakendi ukute kuliyandawila bulemu. Nsombi nendi ukute bulemu bwa uyo walamutuma, wopeloyo ewancine ncine, kayi mumoyo mwakendi muliya bwipishi.
19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”
“Lino sena Mose liya kumupa Milawo ya Lesa? Nsombi paliya naba umo mulinjamwe ukute kwikonkela. Nomba nicani mulayandanga kunshina?”
20 “You have a demon,” the crowd replied. “Who is trying to kill You?”
Nsombi likoto lya bantu lyalamukumbuleti, “Sena ulakonyo. Layandanga kukushina niyani?”
21 Jesus answered them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.
Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Ndalensowa ceshikukankamanisha cimo, mwense mwalakankamana.”
22 But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)
“Nte pasa Mose walamupa mulawo wa kupalula bana benu batuloba (mulawo uyo uliya kufuma kuli Mose nsombi walafuma kubamashali benu bakulukulu.) Neco mukute kupalula mwana mutuloba nambi nipa busuba bwa Sabata.”
23 If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?
“Na mwanoyo mukute kumupalula pa Sabata, nicani nkamukute kutina kupwaya mulawo wa Mose? Nomba nicani mulankalalilinga pacebo cakwambeti ndashilika muntu pabusuba bwa Sabata?
24 Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”
Kamucileka kombolosha kwakulanga pamenso, lino tatikani kombolosha mubululami.”
25 Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?
Popelapo bantu nabambi baku Yelusalemu balambeti, “Sena muntu usa ngobalayandanga kushina, nte wopele uyu?
26 Yet here He is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying anything to Him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?
Nte uyu lambanga patuba, kwakubula weshikwambapo kantu kalikonse! Ekwambeti aba bantu bacinsheti eMupulushi Walaiwa?
27 But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”
Mupulushi Walaiwa akesa, paliya weshakenshibe nkoshakafume. Nomba uyu tukwinshi twense nkwalafumunga.”
28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,
Popelapo Yesu kaciyisha mu Nga'nda ya Lesa walolobesha, “Mukwinshi nkondalafuma. Nsombi ndiya kwisa palwakame sobwe. Uyo walantuma washomeka, nomba amwe nkamumwinshi.
29 but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”
Nsombi ame ndikwinshi, pakwinga njame ndalafuma kulyendiye, kayi endiye walantuma.”
30 So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
Popelapo bantu balayanda kumwikata Yesu, nsombi paliya nambi umo walamwikatamo, pakwinga cindi cakendi calikacitana cishika.
31 Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”
Bantu bangi mulikoto ilyo balamushoma, kayi balikwambeti, “Mupulushi Walaiwa akesa, nakensepo bingashilo byapita ibi muntuyu mbyalenshi?”
32 When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.
Neco Bafalisi balanyumfwa kunung'unusha kwa bantu balikwamba sha Yesu. Nomba bamakulene beshimilumbo balatuma bamalonda bamu Nga'nda ya Lesa kwambeti bamwikate.
33 So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.
Lino Yesu walabambileti, “Ndi nenu kwa kacindi kang'ana kantananja kuli walantuma.
34 You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
Cakubinga nimukanyandaule, nsombi nteshi mukancane. Kayi uko nkondenga amwe nkamwela kushikako.”
35 At this, the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go that we will not find Him? Will He go where the Jews are dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
Popelapo bamakulene ba Bayuda balatatika kwipushaneti, “Uyu layandanga kuya kupeyo uko afwe nkotwela kubula kumucana? Sena layandanga kuya kuminshi ya ba Giliki kwekala bantu betu nekuya kubeyisha?
36 What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”
Lambangeti, nimukanangaule nsombi nteshi mukancane, kayi eti, uko nkwalenga, amwe nkamwela kushikako. Anu maswi awa alapandululunga cani?”
37 On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
Pa busuba bunene bwakupwisha kusekelela. Yesu walemana nekwamba mwakolobesha, “Napali muntu ukute inyotwa, kesani kulinjame kwisakunwa.
38 Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”
Muntu wanshoma, moyo wakendi nukabeti tumilonga twa menshi eshikupa buyumi. Mbuli Mabala a Lesa ncalambangeti, nakabeti tumilonga twa menshi”
39 He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
Yesu walamba sha Mushimu Uswepa uyo bantu bamushoma ngoshi bakatambule. Pacindico Mushimu Uswepa walinkautana upewa kubantu, pakwinga Yesu walinkatana utambula bulemu bwakendi.
40 On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”
Popelapo likoto lya bantu mpolyalanyumfwa maswi awa, nabambi balatatika kwambeti, “Cancine muntu uyu niMushinshimi.”
41 Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?
Nabambi balikwambeti, “uyu eMupulushi Walaiwa usa.” Nsombi nabambi balikwambeti, “Sena Mupulushi Walaiwa ngaufuma ku Galileya sobwe!
42 Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”
Mabala a Lesa alambangeti Mupulushi Walaiwa wela kufumina mu cikombo ca Mwami Dafeti, kayi wela kusemenwa mumunshi wa Betelehemu uko nkwalikwikala Dafeti”
43 So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.
Lino bantu balatatika kupansana pacebo ca Yesu.
44 Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
Nabambi balikuyanda kumwikata, nsombi paliya walamwikata.
45 Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”
Bamalonda ba Nga'nda ya Lesa basa balabwelela kuli bamakulene beshimilumbo neBafalilsi. Nabo balepusha bamalonda basa, “nicani muliya kwisa nendi?”
46 “Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.
Bamalonda balakumbuleti, “Bintu uyu muntu mbyalamba paliya muntu naumbi walabyambapo sobwe.”
47 “Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.
Lino Bafalisi balambeti, “Sena nenjamwe lamubepe kendi?
48 “Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?
Sena mwalanyumfwapo kwambeti umo wabamakulene nambi Bafalisi pali wamushoma?
49 But this crowd that does not know the law, they are under a curse.”
Nomba bantu aba baluya batainshi Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose, ecebo cakendi bashinganwa.”
50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,
Lino Nikodemo, umo waBafalisi, usa walaya kuli Yesu kumasuba akunyuma, walabepusha banendi,
51 “Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”
“Sena milawo yetu yasuminisha kombolosha muntu ngotutana tunyumfwapo maswi akendi kwambeti twinshibe mbyalenshi?”
52 “Aren’t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”
Nabo balambeti, “Sena nenjobe owakuGalileya? Koya ubelenge Mabala niwinshibeti kuliya mushinshimi wela kufuma kuGalileya.”
53 Then each went to his own home.
Popelapo bantu bonse balabwelela kucomwabo.
