John 8
1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
Yesu wuyenda ku mongo minti mi 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.
Vayi mu nsuka-nsuka, Yesu wuvutuka ku Nzo Nzambi. Batu boso bayizaku va kaba; wuvuanda ayi wuba longa.
3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring [to him] a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
Minlongi mi mina ayi Bafalisi bannatina nketo wumosi babuila mu kitsuza; bantula va ntuala wu batu boso;
4 they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.
bankamba: —Nlongi, nketo wawu bambuila mu thangu kaba vanga kitsuza.
5 Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?
Mu Mina, Moyize wututuma ti tufueti vonda baketo ba phila yayi mu matadi. Vayi ngeyo, mbi wuntuba e?
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.
Banyuvudila kiuvu kioki mu diambu di bamfiela muingi babaka bila kioki bafueti kumfundila. Vayi Yesu wuyinama, wusonika mu nlemvo va tsi.
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.
Bu bantantisa mu kunyuvula; buna niandi wuvumbuka ayi wuba kamba: —Woso mutu mu beno zebi ti kasi disumu ko, kaba mutu wutheti mu kunzuba ditadi.
8 And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.
Buesidi yinama, wusonika va tsi.
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.
Bu bawa bobo, baboso batona tina wumosi wumosi; tonina kuidi banuna. Yesu wusiala niandi veka va kimosi ayi nketo va ntualꞌandi.
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?
Buna Yesu wuvumbuka ayi wunkamba: —A nketo, mimfundi miaku kuevi midi e? Kadi mutu kasi kubedisa ko e?
11 And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Nketo wumvutudila: —A tata, kadi mutu. Buna Yesu wukamba: —Minu mamvama ndikadi kubedisa, Yenda kuaku vayi kadi buelavola masumu.]
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 wubuela kuba kamba diaka: —Minu ndidi kiezila ki nza. Woso mutu wukundandakana kalendi diatila mu tombi ko, vayi wela baka kiezila ki luzingu.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true.
Buna Bafalisi bankamba: —Ngeyo veka wulembo kiteliminanga kimbangi, kimbangi kiaku kisi ki kiedika ko!
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.
Vayi Yesu wuba vutudila: —Kimbangi kiama kidi ki kiedika, ka diambu ko minu veka ndilembo kitelimina kimbangi. Bila minu nzebi kuevi ndiba ayi nzebi kuevi ndinkuenda. Vayi beno luisi zaba ko kueve ndiba ayi kuevi ndinkuenda.
15 Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.
Beno mu kimutu lueta sambisila. Vayi minu ndikadi sambisa kadi mutu wumosi.
16 And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has sent me.
Enati minu ndilembo sambisa, buna tsambusuluꞌama yidi yi kiedika; bila ndisi ko minu veka vayi Tata wuthumba widi yama.
17 And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true:
Madi Masonama mu Mina mieno ti: kimbangi ki batu buadi kidi ki kiedika.
18 I am [one] who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me.
Minu veka ndilembo kitelimina kimbangi ayi Tata wuthuma wulembo thelimina diaka kimbangi.
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.
Banyuvula: —Kuevi kuidi Dise diaku e? Yesu wuba vutudila: —Beno luisi kunzaba ko ayi luisi zaba ko Dise diama! Enati lunzebi, nganu luzebi Dise diama.
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 wutubila mambu momo bu kaba longa mu Nzo Nzambi, wutelama va ndambu buangu bantambikilanga makaba. Kadi mutu kasia nunga ko mu kumbuila, bila thanguꞌandi yifueni ko.
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 wubuela ku bakamba: —Minu ndieka nkuenda, muaki luela kuthomba ayi luela fuila mu masumu meno. Ku ndinkuenda beno lulendi kuiza kuawu ko.
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye cannot come?
Buna Bayuda bayuvasana: —Buna wela kukivonda e? Mananga diawu kalembo tubilanga ti: “Ku ndinkuenda beno lulendi kuiza kuawu ko e?”
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 wuba kamba: —Beno luidi basi nza vayi minu ndidi muisi diyilu. Beno luidi basi nza yayi, vayi minu ndisi ko muisi nza yayi.
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.
Diawu ndilukambidi ti “beno luela fuila mu masumu meno”, bila enati lukadi wilukila ti “Minu ndidi”, buna luela fuila mu masumu meno.
25 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? [And] Jesus said to them, Altogether that which I also say to you.
Buna banyuvula: —Ngeyo widi nani e? Yesu wuba vutudila: —Wowo ndieti ku lukambanga mu zithangu zioso.
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.
Mawombo madi yama mu tuba mu diambu dieno ayi ma kulusambisila; vayi mutu wowo wuthuma widi wu kiedika ayi mambu momo ndiwa kuidi niandi mawu ndieta kamba kuidi basi nza.
27 They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.
Vayi basia sudika ko ti Yesu wuyolukila bobo mu diambu di 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.
Buna Yesu wuba kamba: —Bu luela nangika Muana-Mutu, buna bosi luela zaba ti “Minu ndidi” ayi buna luela zaba ti ndivanganga ko kadi diambu dimosi mu minu veka vayi ndilembo tubi mambu momo mandonga Tata.
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.
Mutu wowo wuthuma widi yama; kasia kumbika minu veka ko, bila minu ndieta vanga mu zithangu zioso mambu momo meta kummonisa khini.
30 As he spoke these things many believed on him.
Bu katuba mambu momo, batu bawombo banwilukila.
31 Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
Yesu wukamba Bayuda bobo banwilukila ti: —Enati beno lunkangananga mu mambu mama buna luidi minlonguki miama mu kiedika,
32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
luela zaba kiedika ayi kiedika kiela kulukula.
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?
Bamvutudila: —Beto tuidi mu nkuna Abalahami ayi kadi khumbu tusia beto bavika ba mutu ko! Buna buevi wuntubila ti: “Luela ba batu ba kiphuanza e?”
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti: Woso mutu wumvanganga masumu, buna niandi mvika wu masumu.
Mvika kasi muisi dikanda ko vayi muana, mu zithangu zioso, widi muisi dikanda. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.
Diawu enati Muana wulukudidi, buna lukululu mu kiedika.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no entrance in you.
Nyinga, nzebi ti luidi mu nkuna Abalahami, vayi lutidi kuphonda bila mambu mama masi ko buangu mu beno.
38 I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do what ye have seen with your father.
Ndilembo lukambi mambu momo minu ndimona bu ndiba kuidi Siama vayi beno lulembo vangi mambu momo luwa kuidi Sieno.
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;
Bankamba: —Abalahami niandi sieto! Yesu wuba vutudila: —Enati luidi bana ba Abalahami, nganu lulembo vangi mavanga ma Abalahami.
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.
Vayi buabu beno lulembo tombi kuphondisa, minu, mutu ndilukembi kiedika kioki ndiwa kuidi Nzambi. Abalahami kasia bu vanga ko.
41 Ye do the works of your father. They said [therefore] to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, God.
Beno lulembo vangi mavanga ma sieno. Bawu bamvutudila: —Beto tuisi bana ba kindumba ko. Vayi Nzambi niandi khatika Sieto.
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 wuba kamba: —Enati Nzambi niandi Sieno nganu lueta kunzola, bila mu Nzambi nditotukila; ayi buabu ndidi vava. Ndisia kuizila ko mu luzolo luama vekavayi niandi wuthuma.
43 Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
Bila mbi lunkambu sudikila mambu ndilembo lukambi e? Bila lulendi ko wa mambu mama.
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:
Beno Satana niandi dise dieno ayi lutidi vanga zinzinunu zi dise dieno. Niandi mvondi tona vana thonono ayi kasia zingila ko mu kiedika, bila mu niandi muisi ko kadi kiedika. Mu thangu keta vuna, buna mu ntimꞌandi mueta ba luvunu bila niandi nkua luvunu ayi dise di luvunu.
45 and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
Vayi minu bu ndilembo tubi kiedika, beno lukadi kunguilukila.
46 Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
Nani mu beno wulenda kukhamba disumu diodi ndivanga e? Buna bila mbi lukadi kunguilukila enati ndilembo lukambi kiedika e?
47 He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
Woso mutu Nzambi kavuidi wunwanga mambu ma Nzambi. Beno Nzambi kasi luvua ko, diawu ka luwilanga ko.
48 The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon?
Bayuda bamvutudila: —Mueni ti bukiedika kuandi tulembo kambanga ti ngeyo widi muisi Samaliayi Pheve yimbimbi yidi yaku.
49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Nana, minu ndisiꞌama Pheve yimbimbi ko. Vayi Dise diama ndieta kinzikavayi beno lulembo kundenzi.
50 But I do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and judges.
Minu nditombanga nkemboꞌama ko. Vayi vadi mutu wuntombanga wawu ayi weta sambisa.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one shall keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
Bukiedika ndikulukamba: woso mutu wunlundanga mambu mama, kalendi fua ko. (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)
Buna byuda bamvutudila: —Buabu tuzebi ti Pheve yi mbimbi yidi yaku! Bila Abalahami ayi mimbikudi bamana fua, vayi ngeyo wunkamba ti woso mutu wunlunda mambu maku kalendi fua ko! (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?
Buna ngeyo wumbanza ti ngeyo lutidi mu bunneni. Dise dieto Abalahami, diodi difua voti mimbikudi miomi mimana fua e? Buevi wulembo kibanzila e?
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 wuba vutudila: —Enati minu ndilembo kikembisa minu veka, buna nkemboꞌama widi wuphamba. Vayi Dise diama, diodi lulembo tedila Nzambi eno niandi wulembo khembisa.
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.
Muaki beno luisi kunzaba ko vayi minu ndinzebi. Enati thubidi ti ndisi kunzaba ko, buna ndieka nkua luvunu banga beno. Bayi minu ndinzebi ayi ndieta lunda mambu mandi.
56 Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.
Dise dieno Abalahami wumona khini bu kayindula ti wulenda mona lumbu kiama; wumona kiawu ayi wumona khini yiwombo.
57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Bayuda bankamba: —Ngeyo kudukisidi ko makumatanu ma mimvu, vayi buabu wulembo tubi ti wumona Abalahami!
58 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti tuamina Abalahami kabutuka, buna minu ndidi.
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.]
Bu katuba mambu momo, batota matadi muingi banzuba vayi Yesu wusuama ayi wutotuka mu nzo Nzambi.
