John 7
1 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Abha yemisango ejo Yesu nalibhata mu Galilaya, kwo kubha atendele okugenda mu Bhyaudi would kubha Abhayaudi bhaliga nibhakola obwenge bho kumwita.
2 Now the tabernacles, the feast of the Jews, was near.
Woli amalya ga Bhayaudi, amalya ge bhiuna, galiga yei.
3 His brethren therefore said to him, Remove hence and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest;
Niwo abhamula bhabho nibhamubwila ati, “Soka anu ugende Uyaudi, koleleki ebheigisibwa bhao kutyo kutyo bhalole ebhikolwo bhinu oukola.
4 for no one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be [known] in public. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world:
Atalio unu kakola lyona lyona mu mbisike kenu omwene nenda okubhulika abwelu. Alabha ukakola emisango jinu, wiyeleshe omwene ku chalo.”
5 for neither did his brethren believe on him.
Nolwo abhamula bhabho ona bhatamwikilisishe.
6 Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Niwo Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Omwanya gwani guchali kwiya, nawe omwanya gwemwe bhuli mwanya nogumalila.
7 The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I bear witness concerning it that its works are evil.
Echalo chitakutula kubhiililwa emwe, nawe echibhiililwa enye kwo kubha obhubhambasi ubha ebhikolwa byae ni bhibhibhi.
8 Ye, go ye up to this feast. I go not up to this feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.
Mulinye mugende ku malya; anye nitakujayo kumalya linu ni kwokubha omwanya gwani guchali kukumisibwa.”
9 Having said these things to them he abode in Galilee.
Ejile amala okwaika emisango ejo kubhene, asigaye Galilaya.
10 But when his brethren had gone up, then he himself also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in secret.
Nolwo kutyo, abhamula bhabho bhejile bhagenda ku malya, niwo nomwene nagenda, atali kwo bwelu nawe mwibhete.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
Abhayaudi bhaliga nibhamulonda kumalya no kwaika ati, “Alyaki?”
12 And there was much murmuring concerning him among the crowds. Some said, He is [a] good [man]; others said, No; but he deceives the crowd.
Nikubhao amasimulo mafu mu bhise ingulu yaye. Abhangi nibhaika ati, “Ni munu wa kisi.” Abhangi nibhaika ati, “Uli, kabhebheya ebhise.”.
13 However, no one spoke openly concerning him on account of [their] fear of the Jews.
Nolwo kutyo atalio unu amwaikile bwelu ingulu yaye kwo kubhaya Abhayaudi.
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Omwanya gwa malya gwejile gwakinga agati, Yesu nalinya nagenda mwiyekalu namba okwiigisha.
15 The Jews therefore wondered, saying, How knows this [man] letters, having never learned?
Abhayaudi bhaliga nibhatang'ang'ala no kwaika ati,”Omunu unu amenye emisango myafu? atasomele kata.”
16 Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but [that] of him that has sent me.
Yesu nabhasubya nabhabwila ati, “Ameigisho gani gatali gani, nawe gaye unu antumile.
17 If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or [that] I speak from myself.
Alabha wona wona kenda okukola obwenji bwae alimenya okwiigisha jinu alabha jasokele ku Nyamanga, alabha enaika okusoka kwanye ela.
18 He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that has sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.
Bhuli unu kaika okusoka kumwene kayenja likusho lyae, nawe bhuli unu kayenja likusho lyae unu antumile, omunu ununi we chimali, na munda yaye atalimo bhutalengelesi.
19 Has not Moses given you the law, and no one of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?
Musa atabhayaye emwe ebhilagilo? Nawe atalio nolwo umwi mwimwe unu kagwata ebhilagilo. Kubhaki omwenda okunyita?
20 The crowd answered [and said], Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?
Ebhise nibhamubya ati, “Uli no musambwa. Niga unu kayenja okukwita?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.
Yesu nasubya nabhabwila ati, “Nakola omulimu gumwi, nemwe bhona nimulugula.
22 Therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on sabbath.
Musa abhayaye okutenda (tali ati eisoka ku Musa, nawe iliya eisoka ku bhalata), na ku sabhato omutenda omunu.
23 If a man receives circumcision on sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be violated, are ye angry with me because I have made a man entirely sound on sabbath?
Alabha omunu akalamila okutendwa kulusiku lya isabhato koleleki ebhilangilo bya Musa byitanyamuka, kubhaki omumbiililwa anye kwo kubhaki nakolele omunu kubha muanga kata ku sabhato?
24 Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.
Musige okulamula okwinganyisha nolususo, nawe mulamule mulengele.
25 Some therefore of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Abhandi yebwe okusoka Yerusalemu nibhaika ati, “Atali unu oyoabhayenja okumwita?
26 and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?
Na lola, kaikila abwelu abwelu, na bhatakumubwila chona chona ingulu yae. Itakutula kubha ati abhakulu abhamenya echimalikubha unu ni Kristo, Eitula okubha?
27 But [as to] this [man] we know whence he is. Now [as to] the Christ, when he comes, no one knows whence he is.
Echimenya unu omunu asokele aki. Kristo alibhaja, nolwo kutyo atalio unu alimenya aki kasoka.”
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me and ye know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye do not know.
Yesu aliga naikila ingulu muyekalu, neigisha naika ati, “Emwe bhona mumenyele enye no mumenya enu enisoka. Nitejile kubwani, nawe unu antumile ni we chimali, na mutakumumenya omwene.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he has sent me.
Enimumenya omwene kwo kubha nisokele kwaye na antumile.”
30 They sought therefore to take him; and no one laid his hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.
Bhaliga nibhayenja okumsita, nawe atalio nolwo umwi enamusishe okubhoko kwaye ingulu kwo kubha omwanya gwae gwaliga guchali kwiya.
31 But many of the crowd believed on him, and said, Will the Christ, when he comes, do more signs than those which this [man] has done?
Nolwo kutyo abhafu mu bhise nibhamwikilisha. Nibhaika ati, “Kristo alibhaja, alikola ebhibhalikisho byafu okukila bhinu akolele omunu unu?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they might take him.
Abhafarisayo nibhongwa ebhise mbetong'anila emisango jinu ejimwimako Yesu, na bhakulu bha bhagabhisi na Bhafarisayo nibhatuma abhasilikale koleleki bhamugwate.
33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and I go to him that has sent me.
Niwo Yesu naika ati, “Guchali omwanya mutoto nili amwi emwe, na enigenda ku mwene unu antumile.
34 Ye shall seek me and shall not find [me], and where I am ye cannot come.
Mulinyenja nawe mutalimbona; nenu enigenda mutakutula kuja.”
35 The Jews therefore said to one another, Where is he about to go that we shall not find him? Is he about to go to the dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
Kulwejo Abhayaudi nibhaikana abheigisibhwa kwa bhene, “Omunu unu kenda kujaaki ati chitakutula okumulola? Kenda kuja kubhanu bhanyalambukele agati ya Wayunani no kubheigisha Abhayunani?
36 What word is this which he said, Ye shall seek me and shall not find [me]; and where I am ye cannot come?
Nimusangoki gunu kaika, 'Mulinyenja nawe mutalimbona; eyo enigenda mutakutula kujayo'?”
37 In the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.
Woli olusiku lwo bhutelo, olusiku olukulu lwa malya, Yesu emeleguyu naikila ingulu, naika ati, “Alabha wona wona unu ketwa obhulilo, aje kwanye anywe.
38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Unu kanyikilisha anye, lwa kutyo jandikilwe, okusoka munda yani jiliulula emisima ja manji go bhuanga.”
39 But this he said concerning the Spirit, which they that believed on him were about to receive; for [the] Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
Nawe aikile nigwo Mwoyo unu abhene bhalimwikilisha no kumulamila; Mwoyo aliga achali kusosibwa kwo kubha Yesu aliga achali kukusibwa.
40 [Some] out of the crowd therefore, having heard this word, said, This is truly the prophet.
Mbe abha mu bhise, bhejile bhongwa emisango jinu, nibhaika ati, “Nichimali unu ni mulagi.”
41 Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, Does then the Christ come out of Galilee?
Abhandi nibhaika ati, “ni Kristo.” Nawe abhandi nibhaika ati, “niki, Kristo katula okusoka Galilaya?
42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was?
Amaandiko gatakwikaga ati Kristo kasoka mu lwibhulo lwa Daudi no kusoka Bethlehemu, mu musi gunu Daudi aligamo?
43 There was a division therefore in the crowd on account of him.
Kutyo, aliya nikubhao okwauna agati ye bhise kulwae.
44 But some of them desired to take him, but no one laid hands upon him.
Abhandi agati yebhe nibhenda okumugwata, nawe atalio unu amuteeko amabhoko ingulu yae.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him?
Niwo bhaliya abhasilikale nibhasubha ku bhakulu bha bhagabhisi na Abhafarisayo, nabho nibhamubwila ati, “Kubhaki mutamuleta?”
46 The officers answered, Never man spoke thus, as this man [speaks].
Abhasilikale nibhamubya ati, Atalio omunu unu alaikile lwoyo.”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?
Niwo Abhafarisayo nibhamubya ati, “Nemwe ona abhabhabhebheya?
48 Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?
Alio wona wona agati ya bhakulu unu amwikilisishe, amwi yona yona wa Bhafarisayo?
49 But this crowd, which does not know the law, are accursed.
Nawe bhanu ebhise bhatakumenya ebhilagilo-bheimilwe.”
50 Nicodemus says to them (being one of themselves),
Nikodemo nabhabwila ati (unu amwijileko Yesu kala, niwe umwi wa Bhafarisayo),
51 Does our law judge a man before it have first heard from himself, and know what he does?
Mbe ebhilagilo byeswe ebhilamula omunu bhachali kumungwa kwamba no kumenya chinu kakola?”
52 They answered and said to him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and look, that no prophet arises out of Galilee.
Nibhasubya nibhamubwila ati, “Nawe ona wasokele Galilaya? Yenja na ulole ati atalio mulagi unu asokele Galilaya.”
53 And every one went to his home.
Mbe bhuli munu agendele mu musi gwae.
