John 8
1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Kasi Yesu akendeki na ngomba ya banzete ya olive.
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.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, azongaki kati na lopango ya Tempelo; mpe lokola bato nyonso bayaki kozingela Ye, avandaki mpe abandaki koteya bango.
3 The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them
Balakisi ya Mobeko mpe Bafarizeo bakumbaki mwasi moko oyo bakutaki azali kosala ekobo; batambolisaki ye kati na ebele ya bato mpe batiaki ye liboso ya Yesu, na miso ya bato nyonso.
4 and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
Balobaki na Yesu: — Moteyi, mwasi oyo asali ekobo; bakuti ye penza azali kosala yango!
5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”
Kati na mibeko, Moyize apesa biso mitindo ya koboma basi ya boye na mabanga. Bongo yo, olobi nini na tina na yango?
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.
Balobaki bongo mpo na kotiela Yesu motambo mpe koluka nzela ya kofunda Ye. Kasi Yesu agunzamaki; mpe na nzela ya mosapi na Ye, abandaki kokoma na mabele.
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.”
Lokola bakobaki kaka kopesa Ye mituna, Yesu atelemaki mpe alobaki na bango: — Tika ete moto oyo, kati na bino, asala nanu lisumu te abamba ye libanga moto ya liboso.
8 And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
Bongo Yesu agunzamaki lisusu mpe azongelaki kokoma na mabele.
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.
Tango bayokaki bongo, bango nyonso babendanaki moko sima na moninga, kobanda na mikolo. Mpe Yesu atikalaki Ye moko. Lokola mwasi yango azalaki kaka wana kati na lopango ya Tempelo,
10 Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”
Yesu atombolaki moto mpe alobaki na ye: — Mwasi, bato oyo bayei kofunda yo bazali wapi? Boni, ata moko te akateli yo etumbu?
11 “No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”
Mwasi azongisaki: — Nkolo, moko te! Bongo Yesu alobaki na ye: — Ngai mpe nakateli yo etumbu te. Kende; kasi, kobanda lelo, kosala lisusu masumu te.]
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.”
Yesu alobaki lisusu na bato: — Nazali pole ya mokili; moto nyonso oyo alandaka Ngai akotikala kotambola kati na molili te, kasi akozwa pole ya bomoi.
13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”
Bafarizeo balobaki na Ye: — Ozali kotatola mpo na yo moko, litatoli na yo ezali ya solo te.
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 azongiselaki bango: — Ezala soki natatoli mpo na Ngai moko, litatoli na Ngai ezali ya solo, pamba te nayebi epai nawuti mpe epai nazali kokende; kasi bino, boyebi te ezala epai nawuti to epai nazali kokende.
15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
Bino, bosambisaka na ndenge ya bomoto; kasi Ngai, nasambisi moto ata moko te.
16 But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.
Mpe ezala soki esalemi ete Ngai nasambisi moto, kosambisa na Ngai ezali ya solo, pamba te nazali Ngai moko te: Tata oyo atindi Ngai azali elongo na Ngai.
17 Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.
Ekomama kutu, kati na mibeko na bino, ete litatoli ya bato mibale nde ezalaka ya solo.
18 I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”
Ngai, nazali kopesa litatoli na tina na Ngai moko, mpe Tata oyo atindaki Ngai azali lisusu kotatola na tina na Ngai.
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.”
Bongo batunaki Ye: — Tata na yo azali wapi? Yesu azongisaki: — Boyebi Ngai te, mpe boyebi Tata na Ngai te. Soki boyebaki Ngai, bolingaki mpe koyeba Tata na Ngai.
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.
Yesu alobaki bongo, wana azalaki koteya kati na lopango ya Tempelo, pene ya esika oyo bazalaki kotia makabo; mpe moto ata moko te amekaki kokanga Ye, pamba te tango na Ye ekokaki nanu te.
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.”
Yesu alobaki na bango lisusu: — Ngai, nazali kokende; mpe bokoluka Ngai, kasi bokokufa kati na lisumu na bino. Epai Ngai nazali kokende, bino, bokoki te koya kuna.
22 So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
Na bongo, Bayuda batunanaki bango na bango: — Boni, azali na makanisi ya komiboma, yango wana alobi: « Epai Ngai nazali kokende, bino, bokokoka te koya kuna? »
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 azongiselaki bango: — Bino, bozali bato ya se; kasi Ngai, nawuti na Likolo. Bino, bozali bato ya mokili oyo; kasi Ngai, nazali ya mokili oyo te.
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.”
Yango wana nalobaki na bino: « Bokokufa kati na lisumu na bino; » pamba te soki bondimi te ete « Nazali oyo azali, » bokokufa kati na lisumu na bino.
25 “Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
Batunaki Ye: — Boye ozali nani? Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Oyo nazali koloba na bino wuta na ebandeli.
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.”
Nazali na makambo mingi ya koloba na tina na bino mpe ya kosambisa kati na bino; kasi Ye oyo atindaki Ngai azali solo, mpe makambo oyo nayokaki epai na Ye, yango nde nazali koyebisa mokili.
27 They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.
Kasi bazalaki kososola te ete Yesu azalaki koloba na bango na tina na Tata.
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.
Alobaki lisusu: — Sima na bino kotombola Mwana na Moto nde bokoyeba ete, Ngai, nazali oyo azali, mpe ete nasalaka eloko moko te na ndenge na Ngai moko, kasi nalobaka kolanda makambo oyo Tata ateyaki Ngai.
29 He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”
Ye oyo atindaki Ngai azali elongo na Ngai; atikaki Ngai moko te, pamba te, Ngai, nasalaka tango nyonso makambo oyo esepelisaka Ye.
30 As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
Wana Yesu azalaki koloba bongo, bato mingi bandimaki Ye.
31 So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
Bongo Yesu alobaki na Bayuda oyo bandimaki Ye: — Soki bowumeli kati na Liloba oyo nateyaki bino, bokozala penza bayekoli na Ngai,
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
bokoyeba solo, mpe solo ekokangola bino.
33 “We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
Bazongiselaki Ye: — Biso, tozali bato ya libota ya Abrayami, totikala kozala te bawumbu ya moto; ndenge nini oloba ete tokokoma bansomi?
34 Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto nyonso oyo asalaka masumu azali mowumbu ya lisumu.
Nzokande, mowumbu azalaka kati na libota tango nyonso te, kasi mwana azali kati na yango mpo na seko. (aiōn g165)
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Boye, soki Mwana akangoli bino, bokozala penza bansomi.
37 I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.
Nayebi ete bozali bato ya libota ya Abrayami; nzokande, bozali koluka koboma Ngai, pamba te boboyi koyamba Liloba na Ngai.
38 I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
Ngai, nazali koloba makambo oyo namonaki epai ya Tata na Ngai; bino mpe bozali kosala makambo oyo boyokaki epai ya tata na bino.
39 “Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.
Bazongisaki: — Ezali Abrayami nde azali tata na biso. Yesu alobaki na bango: — Soki bozalaki bana ya Abrayami, bolingaki kosala misala oyo Abrayami asalaki.
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.
Kasi sik’oyo, na esika ete bosala yango, bozali koluka koboma Ngai, Ngai oyo nalobi na bino solo oyo nayokaki epai ya Nzambe! Abrayami atikala kosala bongo te.
41 You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
Bozali penza kosala misala ya tata na bino. Bazongisaki: — Tozali bana ya makangu te; tozali kaka na tata moko: Nzambe!
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 alobaki na bango: — Soki Nzambe azalaki penza Tata na bino, bolingaki kolinga Ngai, pamba te nawutaki epai ya Nzambe, mpe ezali kolanda mokano na Ye nde nazali sik’oyo awa. Nayaki na ndenge na Ngai moko te, kasi Ye nde atindaki Ngai.
43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.
Mpo na nini bozali kososola te elobeli na Ngai? Ezali mpo ete bozali kokoka te koyoka makambo oyo nazali koloba na bino.
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.
Ezali Satana nde azali tata na bino, mpe bolingi nde kaka kokokisa posa ya tata na bino. Wuta na ebandeli, ye azala mobomi; avandaka kati na solo te, pamba te solo ezalaka te kati na ye. Tango akosaka, alobaka penza makambo oyo ewutaka kati na ye; pamba te azali mokosi mpe tata ya lokuta.
45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!
Kasi Ngai, lokola nalobi solo, yango wana bozali kondima Ngai te.
46 Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?
Nani kati na bino akoki kotalisa Ngai ete nasali masumu? Soki nalobaka solo, mpo na nini bondimaka Ngai te?
47 Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
Moto oyo azali ya Nzambe ayokaka makambo oyo Nzambe alobaka; kasi soki bino boyokaka te, ezali mpo ete bozali ya Nzambe te.
48 The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”
Bayuda bazongiselaki Ye: — Omoni! Yango wana tolobaki na biso ete ozali moto ya Samari mpe ozali na molimo mabe kati na yo.
49 “I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
Yesu azongisaki: — Nazali na molimo mabe te kati na Ngai. Ngai nazali nde kopesa Tata na Ngai lokumu, kasi bino bozali kotiola Ngai.
50 I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.
Nalukaka lokumu na Ngai moko te; ezali na Moko oyo alukaka yango mpe asambisaka.
Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto oyo akobatela Liloba na Ngai kati na ye akotikala kokufa te. (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)
Na yango, Bayuda balobaki na Ye: — Tomoni sik’oyo ete ozali na molimo mabe kati na yo! Pamba te Abrayami asila kokufa, basakoli mpe lokola; bongo yo ozali koloba ete moto oyo akobatela Liloba na yo kati na ye akotikala kokufa te! (aiōn g165)
53 Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?”
Boni, yo okanisi ete oleki Abrayami, tata na biso, oyo akufa to mpe oleki basakoli nyonso oyo bakufa? Yango yo, ozali komimona nani?
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 azongiselaki bango: — Soki namipesaki Ngai moko lokumu, lokumu na Ngai elingaki kozala na tina te. Kasi ezali Tata na Ngai, Ye oyo bino bozali koloba ete azali Nzambe na bino, nde azali kopesa Ngai lokumu.
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.
Solo, bino, boyebi Ye te; kasi Ngai, nayebi Ye. Soki nameki koloba ete nayebi Ye te, wana nakozala mokosi lokola bino. Kasi nayebi Ye mpe nabatelaka Liloba na Ye.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.”
Tata na bino, Abrayami, atondaki na esengo, wana akanisaki ete akomona mokolo na Ngai. Amonaki yango mpe atondaki na esengo.
57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
Bayuda balobaki na Ye: — Nini? Yo moto oyo okokisi nanu te ata mibu tuku mitano ya mbotama, ozali koloba ete omonaki Abrayami!
58 “Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
Yesu azongisaki: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: liboso ete Abrayami abotama, Ngai nazali.
59 At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.
Tango Bayuda bayokaki bongo, balokotaki mabanga mpo na kobamba Yesu, kasi abombamaki mpe abimaki libanda ya lopango ya Tempelo.
