John 8
1 But Jesus went to the Mountain of Olives.
Asi Jesu wakaenda kugomo reMiorivhi.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the Temple and all the people came to him and he was seated teaching them.
Zvino mangwanani-ngwanani wakauyazve kutembere, vanhu vese ndokuuya kwaari; iye ndokugara pasi akavadzidzisa.
3 Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;
Zvino vanyori neVaFarisi vakauya kwaari nemukadzi wakabatwa mukufeva, vakati vamumisa pakati,
4 And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.
vakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, mukadzi uyu wabatwa achifeva, pachiitiko chaipo;
5 Now in the law Moses gave directions that such women were to be stoned; what do you say about it?
zvino Mozisi pamurairo wakatiraira kuti vakadaro vatakwe nemabwe; naizvozvo imwi munoti kudini?
6 They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.
Asi izvozvi vakareva vachimuedza, kuti vave nechavangamupomera. Asi Jesu wakakotamira pasi, akanyora pasi nemunwe, seasina kuvanzwa.
7 But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her.
Zvino vakati vachiramba vachimubvunza, akatasamuka akati kwavari: Asina chivi pakati penyu, ngaatange kukanda ibwe kwaari.
8 And again, with bent head, he made letters on the floor.
Zvino akakotamirazve pasi, akanyora pasi.
9 And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.
Zvino ivo vanzwa, vachipiwa mhosva nehana yavo, vakabuda umwe-umwe, kutanga kuvakuru kusvikira kune vekupedzisira; Jesu akasara ari ega, nemukadzi amire pakati.
10 Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?
Jesu wakati atasamuka, akasaona munhu asi mukadzi, akati kwaari: Mai, varipi vaya vapomeri vako? Hakuna wakupa mhosva here?
11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.]
Iye ndokuti: Hakuna, Ishe. Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Neni handikupi mhosva. Enda, usachitadzazve.
12 Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakataurazve kwavari, achiti: Ini ndiri chiedza chenyika; anonditevera haangatongofambi murima, asi achava nechiedza cheupenyu.
13 So the Pharisees said to him, The witness you give is about yourself: your witness is not true.
Naizvozvo VaFarisi vakati kwaari: Iwe unopupura nezvako; uchapupu hwako hahuna chokwadi.
14 Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Kunyange ndichipupura nezvangu ini, uchapupu hwangu ndehwechokwadi; nokuti ndinoziva kwandakabva, uye kwandinoenda; asi imwi hamuzivi kwandakabva, uye kwandinoenda.
15 You are judging from what you see; I am judging no man.
Imwi munotonga maererano nenyama; ini handitongi munhu.
16 Even if I am judging, my decision is right, because I am not by myself — with me is the Father who sent me.
Asi kunyange ini ndichitonga, kutonga kwangu ndekwechokwadi; nokuti handisi ndega, asi ini naBaba vakandituma.
17 Even in your law it is said that the witness of two men is true.
Uye mumurairo wenyu makanyorwa kuti uchapupu hwevanhu vaviri ndehwechokwadi.
18 I give witness about myself and the Father who sent me gives witness about me.
Ndini ndinopupura nezvangu, naBaba vakandituma vanopupura nezvangu.
19 Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Baba vako varipi? Jesu akapindura akati: Hamuzivi ini, kana Baba vangu. Dai maindiziva ini, mungadai maiziva Baba vanguwo.
20 Jesus said these words in the place where the offerings were stored, while he was teaching in the Temple: but no man took him because his time was still to come.
Jesu wakataura mashoko awa muchivigiro chezvipo, achidzidzisa mutembere; asi hakuna munhu wakamubata, nokuti awa rake rakange risati rasvika.
21 Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakatizve kwavari: Ini ndinoenda, uye muchanditsvaka, mukafira muzvivi zvenyu; ini pandinoenda, imwi hamugoni kuuyapo.
22 So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakati: Achazviuraya kanhi? Nokuti anoti: Pandinoenda ini, imwi hamugoni kuuyapo?
23 And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.
Zvino akati kwavari: Imwi munobva pasi, ini ndinobva kumusoro; imwi munobva panyika ino, ini handibvi panyika ino.
24 For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.
Naizvozvo ndareva kwamuri kuti muchafira muzvivi zvenyu; nokuti kana musinganditendi kuti ndini iye, muchafira muzvivi zvenyu.
25 Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first.
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Ndiwe ani? Jesu ndokuti kwavari: Ndizvo zvandakuudzaiwo kubva pakutanga.
26 I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.
Ndine zvinhu zvizhinji zvekutaura nekutonga pamusoro penyu; asi wakandituma ndewechokwadi, uye izvo zvandakanzwa ini kwaari ndizvo zvandinotaura kunyika.
27 They did not see that his words were about the Father.
Havana kunzwisisa kuti anotaura kwavari zvaBaba.
28 So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kwavari: Kana masimudza Mwanakomana wemunhu, ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini iye, uye handiiti chinhu pachangu, asi Baba vangu sezvavakandidzidzisa, ndinotaura zvinhu izvi.
29 He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.
Zvino iye wakandituma aneni; Baba havana kundisiya ndega, nokuti ini ndinoita nguva dzese zvinovafadza.
30 When he said this a number came to have faith in him.
Achiri kutaura izvi vazhinji vakatenda kwaari.
31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kuVaJudha vakatenda kwaari: Kana imwi muchirambira mushoko rangu, muri vadzidzi vangu zvirokwazvo;
32 And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.
uye muchaziva chokwadi, uye chokwadi chichakusunungurai.
33 They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?
Vakamupindura vakati: Tiri mbeu yaAbhurahama, uye hatina kutongova varanda vemunhu; iwe unoreva sei kuti: Muchava vakasunungurwa?
34 And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.
Jesu akavapindura akati: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Ani nani anoita chivi muranda wechivi.
Uye muranda haagari mumba nekusingaperi; mwanakomana anogara nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
36 If then the son makes you free, you will be truly free.
Naizvozvo kana Mwanakomana achikusunungurai, muchava vakasununguka zvirokwazvo.
37 I am conscious that you are Abraham's seed; but you have a desire to put me to death because my word has no place in you.
Ndinoziva kuti muri mbeu yaAbhurahama; asi munotsvaka kundiuraya, nokuti shoko rangu harina nzvimbo mamuri.
38 I say the things which I have seen in my Father's house: and you do the things which come to you from your father's house.
Ini ndinotaura izvo zvandakaona kuna Baba vangu; naizvozvo nemwi munoita izvo zvamakaona kuna baba venyu.
39 In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.
Vakapindura vakati kwaari: Baba vedu ndiAbhurahama. Jesu akati kwavari: Dai maiva vana vaAbhurahama, maiita mabasa aAbhurahama.
40 But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.
Asi ikozvino munotsvaka kundiuraya, munhu wakakuudzai chokwadi, chandakanzwa kuna Mwari; izvo Abhurahama haana kuzviita.
41 You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.
Imwi munoita mabasa ababa venyu. Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Hatina kuberekwa neupombwe isu; tina Baba vamwe, Mwari.
42 Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.
Jesu akati kwavari: Dai Mwari aiva Baba venyu, maindida; nokuti ini ndakabuda ndichibva kuna Mwari; nokuti handina kuzviuyira, asi iye wakandituma.
43 Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching.
Sei musinganzwisisi nhaurwa yangu? Nokuti hamugoni kunzwa shoko rangu.
44 You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.
Imwi muri vababa venyu dhiabhorosi, munoda kuita zvishuvo zvababa venyu. Iye wakange ari mhondi kubva pakutanga, asingagari muchokwadi, nokuti maari hamuna chokwadi. Kana achitaura nhema, anotaura pachake; nokuti mutauri wenhema uye baba vadzo.
45 But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.
Asi nokuti ini ndinoreva chokwadi, hamunditendi.
46 Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?
Ndiani kwamuri angandipomera pamusoro pechivi? Uye kana ndichireva chokwadi, imwi munoregerei kunditenda?
47 He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God.
Uyo anobva kuna Mwari anonzwa mashoko aMwari; naizvozvo imwi hamunzwi, nokuti hamubvi kuna Mwari.
48 The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakapindura vakati kwaari: Isu hatina kureva kwazvo here kuti iwe uri muSamaria, uye une dhimoni?
49 And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.
Jesu akapindura, akati: Ini handina dhimoni, asi ndinokudza Baba vangu; asi imwi munondizvidza.
50 I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.
Asi ini handitsvaki rumbidzo yangu; ariko anotsvaka nekutonga.
Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Kana munhu akachengeta shoko rangu, haangatongooni rufu nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death. (aiōn g165)
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakati kwaari: Ikozvino toziva kuti une dhimoni; Abhurahama wakafa, nevaporofita, asi iwe unoti: Kana munhu akachengeta shoko rangu, haangatongoraviri rufu nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are?
Iwe uri mukuru kuna baba vedu Abhurahama, vakafa? Nevaporofita vakafa; iwe unozviita ani?
54 Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.
Jesu akapindura akati: Kana ini ndichizvikudza, rukudzo rwangu harwusi chinhu; ndiBaba vangu vanondikudza, avo imwi vamunoti ndiMwari wenyu.
55 You have no knowledge of him, but I have knowledge of him; and if I said I have no knowledge of him I would be talking falsely like you: but I have full knowledge of him, and I keep his word.
Uye hamuna kuvaziva; asi ini ndinovaziva, uye kana ndikati handivazivi, ndichava murevi wenhema semwi; asi ndinovaziva, ndinochengeta shoko ravo.
56 Your father Abraham was full of joy at the hope of seeing my day: he saw it and was glad.
Baba venyu Abhurahama vakafara kuona zuva rangu, uye vakariona vakapembera.
57 Then the Jews said to him, You are not fifty years old; have you seen Abraham?
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakati kwaari: Hausati wava nemakore makumi mashanu, zvino wakaona Abhurahama here?
58 Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I am.
Jesu akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Abhurahama asati avapo, ini ndiripo.
59 So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.
Ipapo vakanonga mabwe kuti vaposhere kwaari; asi Jesu wakazvivanza, akabuda mutembere, achigura nepakati pavo; akapfuura saizvozvo.
