John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Pambele uYesu atakaluta mufikaaja ifya mu kighavo ikya Galilaya, naakalondagha kuluta kukighavo ikya Yudea, u'wakuva aVayahudi vakalondagha kukum'buda.
2 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
Unsiki ughwa kikulukulu kya Vayahudi ikya fyeve, ghulyale piipi kufika.
3 And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Judea; that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.
Avanuuna va Yesu vakam'buula uYesu vakati, “Lino uvuuke apa, ulute kukighavo ikya Yudea kuuti avavingilili vaako vafyaghe ifidegho fyako fino ghuvomba.
4 For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.
Umuunhu juno ilonda kukagulika, naivomba imbombo saake kuvusyefu, lino ulwakuva ghuvomba isi sooni, ghuhufie kuvaanhu vooni.”
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
Avanuuna valyajovile enendiiki, ulwakuva voope navalyamwitiike.
6 Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
Pe uYesu akavavuula akati, “Unsiki ghwango ghukyale pifika, looli umue ndepoonu muluta amasiki ghooni.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil.
Avaanhu ava mu iisi muno navangavakalalile umue, looli vikung'halalila une, ulwakuva nikuvaavuula kuuti, sino vivoomba mbiivi.
8 Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.
Umue lutaghi kukikulukulu ikio; une naniluta ulwakuvaunsiki ghwango ghukyale pifika.
9 When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.
U Yesu ye ajovile aghuo akajigha mu kighavo ikya Galilaya.
10 But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.
Neke avanuuna ye valutile ku kikulukulu, ghwope u Yesu akaluta, neke akaluta kisyefu, kisila kuhufia kuvaanhu. Kukikulukulu ukuo,
11 The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he?
aVayahudi vakava vikumulonda u Yesu viposia kuvaanhu vitii, “Alikuughi?”
12 And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.
Avaanhu vinga mulipugha lila. Vakava vikujovasia, vamo vitii, “Umuunhu ujuo nnofu.” Avange vitii, “Ndali, umuunhu ujuo isofia avaanhu.”
13 Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
Neke nakwealyale umuunhu juno alyale ijova imhola saake pa vuvalafu, ulwakuva vakoghopagha aVayahudi.
14 Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
Pakate pa fighono ifya kikulukulu u Yesu akingila mu luviika ulwa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, akatengula kuvulanisia avaanhu.
15 And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?
Avayahudi vakava videgha vitii, “Umuunhu uju akaghwile ndaani isi, kisila kwimba?
16 Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
Pe pano U Yesu akavamula akati, “Imbulanisio soni nivulanisia na sango, looli sihumile kwa juno asung'hile.
17 If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Umuunhu juno ilonda kuvomba isa vughane vusa Nguluve, ikagula kuuti imbulanisio isi sihumile Nguluve, nambe kuuti nijova muvutavulilua vwango juune.
18 He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him.
Umuunhu juno ijova muvutavulilya vwake jujuo, ilonda avaanhu vamug'hiniaghe. Neke umuunhu juno ilonda vamughiniaghe juno ansunghile, ujuo ijova isa kyang'haani, naijova isa vudesi.
19 Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
U Moose naalyavapeliile umue indaghilo? Neke nakwalemambe jumo pakate palyumue juno ivingilila indaghilo isio. Lino kiki milonda pikumbuda?”
20 Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?
Avaantu mu lipugha lila vakamwamula vakati, “Uli ni lipepo uve. Ghwe veeni juno ilonda pikukubuda?”
21 Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:
U Yesu akavamula akati, “Une nikavombile ikidegho kimo, umue mweni mukakenyemuka.
22 Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers; ) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.
U Moose alyalaghiile kuvomba ikivungo ikya kudumula ingola ija kidiimi avaana viinu. Ululaghilo uluo nalulyahumile kwa Moose, looli lulyahumile kuvakuulu viinu. Umue muvomba uluo nambe nambe kive kighono kya Sabati.
23 If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?
Lino nave lukwitikisivua umwana kuvombelua ikivungo ikio mukighono ikya Sabati kuuti muleke kudeenya ululaghilo ulwa Moose, kiki mukung'halalila une. Kukunsosia umuunhu mu kighono ikya Sabati?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.
Mulekaghe kuhiga umuunhu mulwa kulola pamaaso, looli muhighaghe mu vwakyang'haani.
25 Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Avaanhu vamonga ava mu likaaja ilya Yelusalemu vakava viposania vitii, Asi, umuunhu uju naghwe juno avalongosi va Vayahudi vilonda kukumbuda?
26 And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?
Lolagha ijova pa vuvalafu, neke avene naijova kimonga! Pamo aveene avolongosi vitii umuunhu uju lweli ghwe Kilisite!
27 But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
Ukilisite iliiva ikwisa nakwale nambe muunhu juno ilikagula kuno ihumila! Umuunhu uju kuno ihumatukagwile.
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching, and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself; but he that sent me, is true, whom you know not.
U Yesu ye ajhighe ivulanisia mu luviika ulwa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, akajova fiijo akati, “Lweli umue mweni mung'haghwile une, kange mukaghwile kuno nihuma. Nambe mwiti mukagwile uluo,
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
une nanilisile mu vutavulilua vwango, ulwene juno asung'hile une ghwa kyang'haani, umue namunkagwile.
30 They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
Une ninkagwile ulwakuva nihumile kwa mwene, kange ghwe juno asung'hile. Pepano vakava vilonda kukunkola, neke nakwealyale umuunhu juno akaghela kukunkola, ulwakuva unsiki ghwake ughwa kukolua ghulyakyale kufika.
31 But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?
Avaanhu vinga mu lipugha lila vakamwitika. Vakava vijova viiti, “Iliiva ikwisa uKiliste ilivomba ifidegho kukila fino avombile uju?”
32 The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.
Avafalisayi vakapulika ilipugha lya vaanhu vipwepa vwimila imhola sa Yesu, pe avavaha va vatekesi na Vafalisayi vakasuung'ha avasikali kuuti vankole.
33 Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.
Pepano uYesu ajajova akati, “Niiva numue unsiki n'debe vuvule, neke pambele nigomoka kwa juno asun'ghile.
34 You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.
Mulikundoonda, neke namulikunyaagha, kange kuno niliiva, umue namungafike.”
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
Pe aVayahudi vakava viposania viiti, “Umuunhu uju iluta kuughi kuno usue natunga mwaghe? Asi, iluya ku vano Vapalasiine vano nkate mu vaYunani na kukuvavulanisia avaYunani?
36 What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come?
Asi, kwe kuti kiki pano iiti, 'Mulikundonda, neke namulikunyaagha, kange kuno niliiva umue namungafike?”
37 And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
Ikighono ikya vusililo ikya kikulukulu kya fyeve, kino kilyale kighono kivaha, uYesu akiima akajova fiijo akati, “Umuunhu nave ali ni kyumilua, iise kulyune anyue.
38 He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Umuunhu juno ikunyitika une, iiva ndavule ghijova amalembe amimike kuuti, isaasa isa malenga amanya vwumi sidwivuka mu mwojo ghwake.
39 Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Alyajovile uluo mu mhola ija mhepo uMwimike, juno avaanhu vano vikumwitika vilikumwupila pambele, unsiki ughuo, uNguluve alyakyale kukunsuung'ha umhepo ghwake, ulwakuva alyakyale kuhufia kuvaanu uvuvaha vwa Yesu.
40 Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.
Avaanhu vamonga mu lipugha lila ye vapuliike amasio aghuo, vakati, “Kyang'haani, umuunhu uju m'bili.”
41 Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?
Vamonga vakati, “Umuunhu uju ghwe Kilisite.” Neke avange vakati, “Ndali, uKilisite ndepoonu ihuma ku Galilaya?
42 Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was?
Asi amalembe amimike naghiiti uKilisite ilihuma mu kikolo ikya ntwa u Daudi ku kikaaja ikya Bethelehemu, kikaaja kino alyale ikukukala untwa uDaudi?
43 So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.
Pepano avaanhu vakalekeng'hana vivimila uYesu.
44 And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him.
Avaanu vamonga mu lipugha lila vakava vilonda kuku nkola, neke nakwealyale umuunhu juno akaghela kuku nkola.
45 The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?
Avasikali vala vakagomoka ku vavaha va vatekesi na kuVafalisayi, kisila kunkola uYesu. Avavaha vala vakavaposia vakati, “Kiki namunkolile na kukumuleeta?”
46 The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.
Avasikali vala vakamula vakati, “Naaghelile kuhumila umuunhu juno ijova ndavule umuunhu jula.
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?
Avafalisayi vakavaposia vakati, “Kwekuti najumue musyangilue?
48 Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Asi ghwe veeni mu valongosi viitu nambe mu Vafalisayi juno amwitiike?
49 But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.
Ulwene avanu avuo avuo navasikagwile indaghilo sa moose, avuo vaghunilue.”
50 Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them: )
Pepano uNikodemu (umo mu valongosi va Vafalisayi, juno ikighono kimonga alyalutile kwa Yesu pakilo), akavaposia akati,
51 Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth?
“Asi indaghilo siitu sikwitikisia kukumhigha umuunhu kisila kumpulikisia na kukusitang'hania sino avombile?”
52 They answered, and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see, that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.
Aveene vakamwamula vakati, “Neke najuuve uhumile ku Galilaya? Londagha muMalembe amimike pekyaghukagula kuuti nakwale umbili juno ahumile ku Galilaya.”
53 And every man returned to his own house.
