John 8
1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
Kasi Yesu akendeki na ngomba ya banzete ya olive.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught 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 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring [to him] a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
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 they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.
Balobaki na Yesu: — Moteyi, mwasi oyo asali ekobo; bakuti ye penza azali kosala yango!
5 Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?
Kati na mibeko, Moyize apesa biso mitindo ya koboma basi ya boye na mabanga. Bongo yo, olobi nini na tina na yango?
6 But this they said proving him, that they might have [something] to accuse him [of]. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
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 But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the 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 stooping down he wrote on the ground.
Bongo Yesu agunzamaki lisusu mpe azongelaki kokoma na mabele.
9 But they, having heard [that], went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and 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 And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee?
Yesu atombolaki moto mpe alobaki na ye: — Mwasi, bato oyo bayei kofunda yo bazali wapi? Boni, ata moko te akateli yo etumbu?
11 And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: 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 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall 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 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true.
Bafarizeo balobaki na Ye: — Ozali kotatola mpo na yo moko, litatoli na yo ezali ya solo te.
14 Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is true, because I know whence I came and whither I go: but ye know not whence I come and whither I go.
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 Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.
Bino, bosambisaka na ndenge ya bomoto; kasi Ngai, nasambisi moto ata moko te.
16 And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has 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 And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true:
Ekomama kutu, kati na mibeko na bino, ete litatoli ya bato mibale nde ezalaka ya solo.
18 I am [one] who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me.
Ngai, nazali kopesa litatoli na tina na Ngai moko, mpe Tata oyo atindaki Ngai azali lisusu kotatola na tina na Ngai.
19 They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father.
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 These words spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him, for his hour was 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 He said therefore again to them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin; where I go ye 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 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye 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 And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above. Ye 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 I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for unless ye shall believe that I am [he], ye shall 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 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? [And] Jesus said to them, Altogether that which I also say to you.
Batunaki Ye: — Boye ozali nani? Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Oyo nazali koloba na bino wuta na ebandeli.
26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but he that has sent me is true, and I, what I have heard from him, these things I say to 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 knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.
Kasi bazalaki kososola te ete Yesu azalaki koloba na bango na tina na Tata.
28 Jesus therefore said to them, When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me I speak these things.
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 And he that has sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I do always the things that are pleasing to 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 he spoke these things many believed on him.
Wana Yesu azalaki koloba bongo, bato mingi bandimaki Ye.
31 Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye 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 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
bokoyeba solo, mpe solo ekokangola bino.
33 They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?
Bazongiselaki Ye: — Biso, tozali bato ya libota ya Abrayami, totikala kozala te bawumbu ya moto; ndenge nini oloba ete tokokoma bansomi?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of 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 If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.
Boye, soki Mwana akangoli bino, bokozala penza bansomi.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no entrance in you.
Nayebi ete bozali bato ya libota ya Abrayami; nzokande, bozali koluka koboma Ngai, pamba te boboyi koyamba Liloba na Ngai.
38 I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do what ye have seen with 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 They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye 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 ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
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 Ye do the works of your father. They said [therefore] to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, God.
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 ye would have loved me, for I came forth from God and am come [from him]; for neither am I come of myself, but he has 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 ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
Mpo na nini bozali kososola te elobeli na Ngai? Ezali mpo ete bozali kokoka te koyoka makambo oyo nazali koloba na bino.
44 Ye are of the devil, as [your] father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:
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 and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
Kasi Ngai, lokola nalobi solo, yango wana bozali kondima Ngai te.
46 Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
Nani kati na bino akoki kotalisa Ngai ete nasali masumu? Soki nalobaka solo, mpo na nini bondimaka Ngai te?
47 He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of 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 and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast 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 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour 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 But I do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and judges.
Nalukaka lokumu na Ngai moko te; ezali na Moko oyo alukaka yango mpe asambisaka.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one shall keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto oyo akobatela Liloba na Ngai kati na ye akotikala kokufa te. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham has died, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall 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 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?
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 is nothing: it is my Father who glorifies me, [of] whom ye 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 And ye know him not; but I know him; and if I said, I know him not, I should be like you, a liar. But I 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 exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.
Tata na bino, Abrayami, atondaki na esengo, wana akanisaki ete akomona mokolo na Ngai. Amonaki yango mpe atondaki na esengo.
57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou 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 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Yesu azongisaki: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: liboso ete Abrayami abotama, Ngai nazali.
59 They took up therefore stones that they might cast [them] at him; but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, [going through the midst of them, and thus passed on.]
Tango Bayuda bayokaki bongo, balokotaki mabanga mpo na kobamba Yesu, kasi abombamaki mpe abimaki libanda ya lopango ya Tempelo.
