John 8
1 But Jesus continued on to the Mount of Olives.
Yesu hi ni gbunlu Zaitun.
2 And early in the morning, he went again to the temple; and all the people came to him. And sitting down, he taught them.
Ni mbubele a ka ban ye ni hekeli, indji wawu'u ba kaban ye niwu, aye kuson na si tsoro ba.
3 Now the scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman caught in adultery, and they stood her in front of them.
Se bi nha ni Farisawa ba nji Iwa wandi ba vu asi tie ngyungyu, u ba yo ni tsutsu mba.
4 And they said to him: “Teacher, this woman was just now caught in adultery.
U ba tre niwu, Malan, Iwa yi ba vu ahe ni mi si ti ngyungyu.
5 And in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such a one. Therefore, what do you say?”
Ni du Musa, a tre ki ta bi indji bi ki, Iwu u tre nigen ni tuma?”
6 But they were saying this to test him, so that they might be able to accuse him. Then Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the earth.
U ba tre naki ni ndu sa tre ni ndu ba fe ni ikpe wa ani kpa ndema tie meme (Ko latre), u Yesu sontu grji na si nha ni menme ni vren wo.
7 And then, when they persevered in questioning him, he stood upright and said to them, “Let whoever is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
U ba kamba na kri ti tutu bubu miyen, wa lukri ni ndide na hla bawu, “Indji ri ni mi biwa ato ana latre na, ka guci ta.
8 And bending down again, he wrote on the earth.
A la sontu grji na nha ni vren woma.
9 But upon hearing this, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, with the woman standing in front of him.
Ba wo naki na lu shan rju ni yi yir ri ni ninkon, na ka Yesu don ni grjima, mba Iwa wa ba na yo ni tsutsu mba.
10 Then Jesus, raising himself up, said to her: “Woman, where are those who accused you? Has no one condemned you?”
Yesu lu kir dinde na miyen, “Iwa, bi wa ba nha wu ba he ni tse? Idiori na nhau na?
11 And she said, “No one, Lord.” Then Jesus said: “Neither will I condemn you. Go, and now do not choose to sin anymore.”
Wa hla ba diori, (Ubangiji), “Yesu tre, imeme mina nhawu na, hi na la latre ganna.
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
Yesu tre niba ganri, andi, “I hi me yi mi kpan u gbungbulu, Indji iwa a hume ana tre ni bwuh na ama ani he ni kpan u re (iviri).”
13 And so the Pharisees said to him, “You offer testimony about yourself; your testimony is not true.”
Farisawa ba tre niwu, “U zi tre nitu ikpe wa wuto'a nmitu tume, ana njanji na.
14 Jesus responded and said to them: “Even though I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going.
Yesu sa nibawu na hla, mi ti sheda tu mu me, ahi njanji, mi to iwurji wa mi rji ni wa mi hi'a, biyi kuko bina to wurji wa mi rji'a na, bina to wurji wa mi hi'a na.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I do not judge anyone.
Bi tron u son tu, ime na tron to ni diori na.
16 And when I do judge, my judgment is true. For I am not alone, but it is I and he who sent me: the Father.
Ko mina tron ni diori me, itron mu mu'a a u njani nitu ana me kankrji mu na, ki he mbu Iti mu wa a ton me.
17 And it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.
Ee, Ana ki ni du wa ba nha mi tre bitsi, andi sheda indji hari a njanji.
18 I am one who offers testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me offers testimony about me.”
Ahi me yi mi sheda itu mu, u Itimu iwa a ton me a sheda mu.”
19 Therefore, they said to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.”
Ba miyen, “Iti me ahe ni tsen?” Yesu hla ni bawu bina tome na, me bika tre Itimu, bina to me, bina to Iti mu'a me.
20 Jesus spoke these words at the treasury, while teaching in the temple. And no one apprehended him, because his hour had not yet come.
A hla tre biyi whirewhir ni bubu wa ba zi kpi wa si tsoro ba tre Rji ni mi hekeli, idiori na vu na nitu iton ma na tsira rina.
21 Therefore, Jesus again spoke to them: “I am going, and you shall seek me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to go.”
Na hla bawu bru, mi hi biwa bina to me na, bi kwu ni mi latre bi. bubu wa misi hi'a, bina ya hi na.
22 And so the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself, for he said: ‘Where I am going, you are not able to go?’”
Yahudawa ba tre, ani wutuma mu, na ni tre iwurji wa mi hi'a bina ya hi na?”
23 And he said to them: “You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
Yesu hla bawu biyi bi rji ni meme, u me mi rji ni shu. Bi he ni gbungbulu yi, ime mina rji ni yi ni gbungbulu yi na.
24 Therefore, I said to you, that you will die in your sins. For if you will not believe that I am, you will die in your sin.”
Iki sa mi hla niyu bi kwu ni mi latre bi. Bitana kpayemmen ni soron bi andi a hi me na, bi kwu ni mi latre bi.
25 And so they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them: “The Beginning, who is also speaking to you.
U ba tre niwu, awu nha? “Yesu hla ba wu, ikpe mi hla rji ni mumla.
26 I have much to say about you and to judge. But he who sent me is true. And what I have heard from him, this I speak within the world.”
Mi he ni kpi gbugbuwu wa mi hla ni yiwu, ni gbi ton ni yiwu ni tuma. Naki me, indji wa a ton ndu, andi u njanji, ikpi wa mi wo niwu'a a baki mi si hla ni gbungbulu ba.”
27 And they did not realize that he was calling God his Father.
Bana tona ndi asi tre nitu Iti'a.
28 And so Jesus said to them: “When you will have lifted up the Son of man, then you shall realize that I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but just as the Father has taught me, so do I speak.
Yesu tre, bita zu Vren Ndji hi ni shu ri bi to ndi a hi me, ndi mi ti kpi ri ni tumu na. Na wa Iti tsoro me, naki mi si ikpi ni yiwu.
29 And he who sent me is with me, and he has not abandoned me alone. For I always do what is pleasing to him.”
Wawu wa a ton me ndu'a, ana ka me don kan grji mu na, ahe ni me nitu kpi wawu wa me ti'a ani kpa soron ma si.”
30 As he was speaking these things, many believed in him.
Wa Yesu si hla bi mba, indji gbugbu'u ba kpa yemme ni wu.
31 Therefore, Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him: “If you will abide in my word, you will truly be my disciples.
Yesu hla biyi ni Yahudawa biwa ba wo na kpayenmen niwu, “Bi ta kli ni mi tre mu ni njanji, bi almajere mu bi nanji.
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
Bi to njanji, u njanji ni kpayi chuwo.”
33 They answered him: “We are the offspring of Abraham, and we have never been a slave to anyone. How can you say, ‘You shall be set free?’”
U ba sa niwu, “Ki mir bi grji ba Ibrahim wa kina ti bre hu diori kan na, iwa tre ni genri, ba kpatachuwo?”
34 Jesus answered them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
Yesu hla bawu, “Njani, njanji, mi hla ni yiwu, indji wa ani latre, ahi gran latre.
35 Now the slave does not abide in the house for eternity. Yet the Son does abide in eternity. (aiōn g165)
Igran, na son ni ko se ka se na, ata son se ka se. (aiōn g165)
36 Therefore, if the Son has set you free, then you will truly be free.
Naki, ivren nita kpa yi chuwo, u bi nawo wawu.
37 I know that you are sons of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word has not taken hold in you.
Mi to bi, bi igrji Ibrahim, bi son bi wuma, nitu wa lan tre mu na he ni bubu son ni mi bina.
38 I speak what I have seen with my Father. And you do what you have seen with your father.”
Mi hla ikpe wa mi to ni Ti mu, biyi bi ti ikpe wa bi wo ni ba ti bi'a.
39 They responded and said to him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them: “If you are the sons of Abraham, then do the works of Abraham.
U ba sa niwu, “Ibrahim mba a timbu, Yesu hla bawu, “Bina mir Ibrahim bina ti ikpe wa Ibrahim a ti'a.
40 But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.
U, zizan bi son wume, indji wa a hla njani ni yiwu wa a wo rji ni Rji. Ibrahim na ti naki na.
41 You do the works of your father.” Therefore, they said to him: “We were not born out of fornication. We have one father: God.”
Bi ti na Iti mbi, u ba hla niwu, “Bana grji ta ni mi gyugyu na, ki he ni Iti riri, Irji.”
42 Then Jesus said to them: “If God were your father, certainly you would love me. For I proceeded and came from God. For I did not come from myself, but he sent me.
Yesu hla bawu, “Irji ana Iti bi bi na son me, u mi rji ni Irji i mi he ni yi zizan, ana ni tumu mi ye na, a wawu yi ton me.
43 Why do you not recognize my speech? It is because you are not able to hear my word.
Ahi genri sa bina ya to wo tre mu na? e bina wo tre mu na.
44 You are of your father, the devil. And you will carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning. And he did not stand in the truth, because the truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks it from his own self. For he is a liar, and the father of lies.
Bi u Ti bi, Ibrji, bi son bi hu iza ma Iti bi, ani wu ndi rji ni mumla mu ana kri ni njanji na he ni wuna, anita ni hla ice, asi hla Iti ma (isoron ma) rji ni mu a indji u ce na Iti u ce ngari.
45 But if I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
Wa mi si hla njanji ni yiwu u bi na kpa yenme ni kpe wa mi si hla na.
46 Which of you can convict me of sin? If I speak the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
Ahi nha ni ri mbi a vu me ni latre? Mi ta hla njanji u bi ka na kpayemme na?
47 Whoever is of God, hears the words of God. For this reason, you do not hear them: because you are not of God.”
Indji wa a u Rji ani wo tre Rji, biyi bina wo tre Irji na, nitu wa bina u Rji na.
48 Therefore, the Jews responded and said to him, “Are we not correct in saying that you are a Samaritan, and that you have a demon?”
Yahudawa ba sa niwu, natre, “Kina hla njanji na nitu wa ki hla andi u indji u Samariya ni he ni meme brji?”
49 Jesus responded: “I do not have a demon. But I honor my Father, and you have dishonored me.
Yesu sa bawu, “ime mi na he ni Ibrji na, mi to ninkon u Timu, biyi bina to ninkon mu na.”
50 But I am not seeking my own glory. There is One who seeks and judges.
Mina wa to tu mu ti kperi u tu mu na, Indji ri he wa ani wa na ni gbi ton.
51 Amen, amen, I say to you, if anyone will have kept my word, he will not see death for eternity.” (aiōn g165)
Njanji, njanji, mi hla ni yiwu, indji wa a hu tre mu, ana to kwu na.” (aiōn g165)
52 Therefore, the Jews said: “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets; and yet you say, ‘If anyone will have kept my word, he shall not taste death for eternity.’ (aiōn g165)
U Yahudawa ba tre, zizan yi ki to u he ni brji. Ibrahim ni ana bawa ba kwu, iwu u tre, indji wa a hu tre me ana to kwu na.' (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. So who do you make yourself to be?”
Ee, u na zan Iti mbu Ibrahim ni ninkon na wa kwu, ka u zan? anabawa me ba kwu, u ban tu ndi u nha?”
54 Jesus responded: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me. And you say about him that he is your God.
Yesu sa, “Mita ban tumu ti kperi u tu mu, ani u migyen, ahi Iti mu mba ban ti kperi iwa bi tre ahi wawuyi a Irji bi.
55 And yet you have not known him. But I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, then I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.
Bi mebina tou na, ime mi tou, mi ta tre mina tou na, ka mi kati iriri ni yi me, indji u ce, se me, mi to ni ni hu tre ma.
56 Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it and was glad.”
Iti bi Ibrahim a gir ni to ivi mu, a tou na gir.”
57 And so the Jews said to him, “You have not yet reached fifty years, and you have seen Abraham?”
Yahudawa ba hla niwu, “Una ti hamsi rina, una to Ibrahim?”
58 Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.”
Yesu hla bawu, “Njanji, njanji, mi si hla ni yiwu, mi heri, ban grji Ibrahim.
59 Therefore, they took up stones to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and he departed from the temple.
U ba vu tita ndi ba tau, u Yesu ri tuma, na rju ni mi hekeli'a.
