< John 8 >

1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Yesu agendele muchima che mizaituni.
2 Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them.
Namweja katondo naja Lindi muyekalu, na bhanu bhona nibhamulubha neyanja nabheigisha.
3 The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them
Abhandiki na Bhafarisayo nibhaleta omugasi unu bhagwatile mu bhulomelwa. Nibhamutula agati.
4 and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
Niwo nibhamubwila Yesu ati, “Omwiigisha, omugasi unu bhamugwata mubhulomelwa,
5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”
Woli, echilagilo cha Musa achilagiliye okubhalasa amabhui abhanu lwa bhanu, owaika kutiki ingulu yaye?
6 They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.
Bhaikile ago okumusaka koleleki bhabhone omusango gwo kumubhula, nawe Yesu nenama asi nandika kwe Chala chaye.
7 When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
Bhejile bhagendelela nibhamubhusha, nemelegulu nabhabwila ati, “Oyo atali na chibhibhi kwimwe, abhe wa kwamba okumulasa amabhui.”
8 And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
Nenama lindi asi, nandika kwe Chala chae.
9 When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.
Bhejile bhongwa ago bhagendele oumwi no undi okwambila kumukaluka. kubhutelo Yesu nasigalao enyele ela, amwi no mugasi aliga agati yebwe.
10 Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”
Yesu nemelegulu nabhabwila ati, “Omugasi, abho abhakusitaka bhalyaki? Atalio nolwo umwi oyo kamulamula?”
11 “No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”
Naika ati,” Atalio nolwo umwi Lata bhugenyi.” Yesu naika ati, “nolwo anye nitakulamula. Genda njila yao okwambila oli no kugendelela utakola chibhibhi lindi.”
12 Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Lindi Yesu naloma na bhanu naika ati, “Anye ni bwelu bwa isi; oyo kandubha atakulibhata muchisute kabha no bwelu bwo bhuanga.”
13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”
Abhafalisayo nibhamubwila ati, Owibhambalila omwene; obhubhambasi bwao bhutali bwe chimali.”
14 Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because 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.
Yesu nasubya nabhabwila ati, “Nolwo nikebhambalila omwene, obhubhambasi bhana ni bwe chimali. Enimenya eyo enisoka niyo enigenda, nawe emwe mutakumenya eyo enisoka neyo enigenda.
15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
Emwe omulamula chinyamubwili; Anye nitakulamula ona ona.
16 But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.
Anye nolwo nikalamula, obhulamusi bwani ni bwe chimali okubha nitali wenyele, nawe nili na Lata oyo antumile.
17 Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.
Nikwo nebhilagilo byemwe byandikilwe ati obhubhambasi bwa bhanu bhabhili no bwe chimali.
18 I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”
Anye enibhambalila, na Lata oyo antumile kambambalila.”
19 “Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.”
Nibhamubwila ati, Lata wao alyaki?” Yesu nasubya ati, “Anye mutakumenya nolwo Lata wani mutakumunyenya mwakasangile nimumenya anye mwakamumenyele na Lata wani.
20 He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts, near the treasury. Yet no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
Aikile emisango ejo Ali ayei need chibhikilo awo aliga neigisha mu yekalu, na Atalio nolwo umwi oyo amugwatile ku kubha omwanya gwae gwaliga guchali kukinga.
21 Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
Mbe nabhabwila lindi ati, “Nagenda jani; nawe mulinyenja na mulifwila mu bhibhibhi byemwe. eyo enigenda, mutakutula kujayo.”
22 So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
Abhayaudi nibhzika ati, “Kajaokwiita omwene, okubha aikile ati, 'eyo enigenda mutakula kujayo'?”
23 Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Omusoka emwalo; anye enisoka injulu. Emwe ni bha isi inu; anye ntali wa isi inu.
24 That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
Kulwejo, nabhabwila ati mulifwila mubhibhibhi byemwe. mwikilishe okubha ANYE NIWE, omufwa mu bhibhibhi byemwe”.
25 “Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
Kulwejo nibhamubwila ati, “Awe niga?” Yesu nabhabwila ati, galiya nabhabwiliye ku bwambilo.
26 “I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”
ninajo emisango mwafu ejokuloma no kulamula ingulu yemwe. Nolwo kutyo, unu antumile ni we chimali; ne misango ejo nonguwe okusoka kwemwe, ne misango ejo enijaika mu si;
27 They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.
Bhatamwelewe ati aliga naika nabho eja Lata.
28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.
Yesu anaika ati, “mukamuyanika ingulu Omwana wo munu, awo mulimenya okubha ANYE NIWE, na ati nitakukola lyonalyona kubwani any akabha Lata anyiigisishe, enaika emisango jinu.
29 He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”
Unu antumile ali amwi nanye, nomwene atakusiga wenyele, bhuli katungu enikola agoagamukondela.”
30 As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
Omwanya Yesu naika emisango ejo abhafu nibhamwikilisha.
31 So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
Yesu naika ati kubhaliya Abhayaudi abho bhamwikilisishe, “Akabha mukeyanja misango jani, ndiwo omubha bheigisibwa bhani bhechimali,
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Emwe mulimenya echimali, ne chimali chilibhatula mumulabho.”
33 “We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
Nibhamubya ati, “Eswe ni lwibholo lwa Ibrahimu na kata chichaliga kubha asi yobhugaya bhonabhona owaikaki, “Echitulwa muchilabho?”
34 Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
Yesu nabhasubya ati, “Nichimali, nichimali enibhabwila ati, oyokakola echibhibhi ni mugaya we chibhibhi.
35 A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son belongs to it forever. (aiōn g165)
Omugaya atakwiyanja munyumba mwanya gwona; Omwana kekala siku jona. (aiōn g165)
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Kulwejo, akabha Omwana akabhatula muchilabho, omubha muchilabho chimali kata.”
37 I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.
Enimenya ati emwe ni lwibholo lwa Ibrahimu; omundonda okunyita kulwa injuno yo musango gwani gutana mwanya agati yemwe.
38 I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
Enaika amagambo ganu nalolele amwi na Lata want, emwona abhene omukola amagambo ganu mwonguwe okusoka kwi esomwana wemwe.”
39 “Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.
Mbe nibhamubya no kumubhwila ati, “Lata weswe ni Aburamu.” Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Chisanga muli bhana bha Aburamu, mwakakolele emilimu ja Aburamu.
40 But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.
Nolwo olyanu omuiga okunyita, omunu unu abhabhwiliye echimali ati nonguwe okusoka ku Nyamuanga. Aburamu atakolele kutyo.
41 You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
Omukola emilimu je somwana.” Ni bhamubhwila ati, “Chitebhuwe mubhulomesi, China Lata umwi, unu ali Nyamuanga.
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.
Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Akabha Nyamuanga ni Lata wemwe, mwakanyendele anye, okubha nisokele ku Nyamuanga; okubha nitejile kubwani, nawe unu antumile.
43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.
Kulwaki mutakungwila emisango jani? kwokubha mutakutula kwikomesha okungwa emisango jani
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
Amwe ni bha esomwana wemwe, shetani, no mwenda okujikola okuligila eje somwana wemwe. okwimilegulu muchimali kwo kubha echimali chitalimo kwimwe. Akaloma olubhei, kaloma okusoka mukatungilwe kaye okubha ni mubhei ne semwene nimubhei.
45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!
Nolwo woli, kwo kubha enaika ebye chimali, mutakunyikilisha.
46 Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?
Niga kwimwe unu katula okumbambalila ati ndine chibhibhi? akabha ninaika ebye chimali, kubhaki mutakunyikilisha?
47 Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
Unu ali Wanyamuanga kongwa emisango ja Nyamuanga; emwe mutakungwila kwo kubha emwe mutali bha Nyamuanga.”
48 The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”
Abhayaudi nibhamubya nibhamubwila ati, chitaikile echimali kubha awe ni Musamalia na una lisambwa?”
49 “I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
Yesu nasubya ati, tali nesambwa; nawe enibhala Lata wani, nemwe mutakumubhala.
50 I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.
Nitakuyenja likusho lyani; alio umwi unu kayenja no kulamula.
51 Truly, truly, I tell you, if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death.” (aiōn g165)
Nichimali, chimali, enibhabwila ati, unu kagwata omusango gwani, atalibhona lufu kajanende.” (aiōn g165)
52 “Now we know that You have a demon!” declared the Jews. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet You say that anyone who keeps Your word will never taste death. (aiōn g165)
Abhayaudi nibhamubya ati, “Oli chamenya ati uli no musambwa. Abrahamu na bhaligi bhafue; nawe owaika ati, 'Akabha omunu atakugwata omusango gwani, akulabha lufu.' (aiōn g165)
53 Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?”
Awe utali mukulu kukila Lata weswe Abrahamu unu afuye, na bhalagi ona bhafuye. Awe owikola kubha niga?”
54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The One who glorifies Me is My Father, of whom you say ‘He is our God.’
Yesu nasubya ati, “Akabha nikekusha nenyele, okwikusha kwani ni kwa kutyo ela; ni Lata wani niwekankusha - onu omwaika kubha Nyamuanga wemwe.
55 You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.
Emwe mutamumenyaga omwene, nawe anye nimumenyele omwene. Akabha nikaika ati,'nitakumumenya,' enijosusana nemwe, bhanu omubheya. Nolwo kutyo, nimumenyele nemisango jaye nijigwatile.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.”
Lata weswe Abrahamu akondewe okulola olusiku lwani; nalulola nakondelelwa.”
57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
Abhayaudi nibhamubwila ati, “uchali kumala mwaka makumi gatanu awe umulolele Ibrahimu?”
58 “Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Nichimali, chimali, nabhabwila ati, Abrahimu achali kwibhulwa, ANYE NDIO.”
59 At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.
Mbe nibhagenda amabhui bhabhone okumubhuma, nawe Yesu neibhisa nauluka mu yekalu.
