John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí Jesu ń rìn ní Galili, nítorí tí kò fẹ́ rìn ní Judea, nítorí àwọn Júù ń wá a láti pa.
2 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
Àjọ àwọn Júù tí í ṣe àjọ àgọ́ súnmọ́ etílé tan.
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.
Nítorí náà, àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, “Lọ kúrò níhìn-ín yìí, kí o sì lọ sí Judea, kí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ pẹ̀lú lè fi iṣẹ́ rẹ hàn fún aráyé.
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.
Nítorí pé kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí í ṣe ohunkóhun níkọ̀kọ̀, tí òun tìkára rẹ̀ sì ń fẹ́ kí a mọ òun ní gbangba. Bí ìwọ bá ń ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí, fi ara rẹ hàn fún aráyé.”
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
Nítorí pé àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ pàápàá kò tilẹ̀ gbà á gbọ́.
6 Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
Nítorí náà ni Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Àkókò gan an fún mi kò tí ì dé; fún ẹ̀yin, gbogbo àkókò ni ó dára fún yín.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil.
Ayé kò lè kórìíra yín; ṣùgbọ́n èmi ni ó kórìíra, nítorí tí mo jẹ́rìí gbé é pé, iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ burú.
8 Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.
Ẹ̀yin ẹ gòkè lọ sí àjọ yìí, èmi kì yóò tí ì gòkè lọ sí àjọ yìí; nítorí tí àkókò mi kò ì tí ì dé.”
9 When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.
Nígbà tí ó ti sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún wọn tan, ó dúró ní Galili síbẹ̀.
10 But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ gòkè lọ tan, nígbà náà ni òun sì gòkè lọ sí àjọ náà pẹ̀lú, kì í ṣe ní gbangba, ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹni pé níkọ̀kọ̀.
11 The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he?
Nígbà náà ni àwọn Júù sì ń wá a kiri nígbà àjọ wí pé, “Níbo ni ó wà?”
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.
Ìkùnsínú púpọ̀ sì wà láàrín àwọn ìjọ ènìyàn nítorí rẹ̀, nítorí àwọn kan wí pé, “Ènìyàn rere ní í ṣe.” Àwọn mìíràn wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ṣùgbọ́n òun ń tan ènìyàn jẹ ni.”
13 Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
Ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ ní gbangba nítorí ìbẹ̀rù àwọn Júù.
14 Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
Nígbà tí àjọ dé àárín; Jesu gòkè lọ sí tẹmpili ó sì ń kọ́ni.
15 And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?
Ẹnu sì ya àwọn Júù, wọ́n wí pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí ti ṣe mọ ìwé, nígbà tí kò kọ́ ẹ̀kọ́?”
16 Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
Jesu dáhùn, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ̀kọ́ mi kì í ṣe tèmi, bí kò ṣe ti ẹni tí ó rán mi.
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.
Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fẹ́ láti ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ yóò mọ̀ ní ti ẹ̀kọ́ náà, bí ìbá ṣe ti Ọlọ́run, tàbí bí èmi bá sọ ti ara mi.
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.
Ẹni tí ń sọ ti ara rẹ̀ ń wá ògo ara rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ń wá ògo ẹni tí ó rán an, òun ni olóòtítọ́, kò sì sí àìṣòdodo nínú rẹ̀.
19 Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
Mose kò ha fi òfin fún yín, kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín tí ó pa òfin náà mọ́? Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa mí?”
20 Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?
Ìjọ ènìyàn dáhùn, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ìwọ ní ẹ̀mí èṣù, ta ni ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa ọ́?”
21 Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:
Jesu dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Kìkì iṣẹ́ àmì kan ni mo ṣe, ẹnu sì ya gbogbo yín.
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.
Síbẹ̀, nítorí pé Mose fi ìkọlà fún yín (kò tilẹ̀ kúkú wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Mose bí kò ṣe láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn baba ńlá yín); nítorí náà ẹ sì ń kọ ènìyàn ní ilà ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi.
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?
Bí ènìyàn bá ń gba ìkọlà ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, kí a má ba à rú òfin Mose, ẹ ha ti ṣe ń bínú sí mi, nítorí mo mú ènìyàn kan láradá ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.
Ẹ má ṣe ìdájọ́ nípa ti ara, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ máa ṣe ìdájọ́ òdodo.”
25 Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Nígbà náà ni àwọn kan nínú àwọn ará Jerusalẹmu wí pé, “Ẹni tí wọ́n ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa kọ́ yìí?
26 And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?
Sì wò ó, ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ ní gbangba, wọn kò sì wí nǹkan kan sí i. Àwọn olórí ha mọ̀ nítòótọ́ pé, èyí ni Kristi náà?
27 But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwa mọ ibi tí ọkùnrin yí gbé ti wá, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Kristi bá dé, kò sí ẹni tí yóò mọ ibi tí ó gbé ti wá.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Jesu kígbe ní tẹmpili bí ó ti ń kọ́ni, wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin mọ̀ mí, ẹ sì mọ ibi tí mo ti wá, èmi kò sì wá fún ara mi, ṣùgbọ́n olóòtítọ́ ni ẹni tí ó rán mi, ẹni tí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi mọ̀ ọ́n, nítorí pé lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ni mo ti wá, òun ni ó rán mi.”
30 They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
Nítorí náà wọ́n ń wá ọ̀nà à ti mú un, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó gbé ọwọ́ lé e, nítorí tí wákàtí rẹ̀ kò tí ì dé.
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?
Ọ̀pọ̀ nínú ìjọ ènìyàn sì gbà á gbọ́, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Nígbà tí Kristi náà bá dé, yóò ha ṣe iṣẹ́ àmì jù wọ̀nyí, tí ọkùnrin yìí ti ṣe lọ?”
32 The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.
Àwọn Farisi gbọ́ pé, ìjọ ènìyàn ń sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí lábẹ́lẹ̀ nípa rẹ̀; àwọn Farisi àti àwọn olórí àlùfáà sì rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ lọ láti mú un.
33 Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.
Nítorí náà Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Níwọ́n ìgbà díẹ̀ ni èmi yóò wà pẹ̀lú yín, èmi yóò lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó rán mi.
34 You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.
Ẹ̀yin yóò wá mi, ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì rí mi, àti ibi tí èmi bá wà, ẹ̀yin kì yóò le wà.”
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?
Nítorí náà ni àwọn Júù ń bá ara wọn sọ pé, “Níbo ni ọkùnrin yìí yóò gbé lọ tí àwa kì yóò fi rí i? Yóò ha lọ sí àárín àwọn Helleni tí wọ́n fọ́n káàkiri, kí ó sì máa kọ́ àwọn Helleni bí.
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?
Ọ̀rọ̀ kín ni èyí tí ó sọ yìí, ‘Ẹ̀yin yóò wá mi, ẹ kì yóò sì rí mi,’ àti ‘Ibi tí èmi bá wà ẹ̀yin kì yóò le wà’?”
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.
Lọ́jọ́ tó kẹ́yìn, tí í ṣe ọjọ́ ńlá àjọ, Jesu dúró, ó sì kígbe wí pé, “Bí òǹgbẹ bá ń gbẹ ẹnikẹ́ni, kí ó tọ̀ mí wá, kí ó sì mu.
38 He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbà mí gbọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ìwé Mímọ́ ti wí, láti inú rẹ̀ ni odò omi ìyè yóò ti máa sàn jáde wá.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó sọ èyí ní ti ẹ̀mí, tí àwọn tí ó gbà á gbọ́ ń bọ̀ wá gbà, nítorí a kò tí ì fi Èmí Mímọ́ fún ni; nítorí tí a kò tí ì ṣe Jesu lógo.
40 Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.
Nítorí náà, nígbà tí ọ̀pọ̀ nínú ìjọ ènìyàn gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, wọ́n wí pé, “Lóòótọ́ èyí ni wòlíì náà.”
41 Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?
Àwọn mìíràn wí pé, “Èyí ni Kristi náà.” Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn kan wí pé kínla, “Kristi yóò ha ti Galili wá bí?
42 Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was?
Ìwé mímọ́ kò ha wí pé, Kristi yóò ti inú irú-ọmọ Dafidi wá, àti Bẹtilẹhẹmu, ìlú tí Dafidi ti wá?”
43 So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìyapa wà láàrín ìjọ ènìyàn nítorí rẹ̀.
44 And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him.
Àwọn mìíràn nínú wọn sì fẹ́ láti mú un; ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó gbé ọwọ́ lé e.
45 The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?
Ní ìparí, àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ tẹmpili padà tọ àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn Farisi lọ, wọ́n sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi mú un wá?”
46 The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.
Àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ dáhùn wí pé, “Kò sí ẹni tí ó tí ì sọ̀rọ̀ bí ọkùnrin yìí rí!”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?
Nítorí náà àwọn Farisi dá wọn lóhùn pé, “A ha tan ẹ̀yin jẹ pẹ̀lú bí?
48 Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Ǹjẹ́ nínú àwọn ìjòyè, tàbí àwọn Farisi ti gbà á gbọ́ bí?
49 But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìjọ ènìyàn yìí, tí ko mọ òfin di ẹni ìfibú.”
50 Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them: )
Nikodemu ẹni tí ó tọ Jesu wá lóru rí, tí ó sì jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú wọn sì sọ fún wọn pé,
51 Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth?
“Òfin wa ha ń ṣe ìdájọ́ ènìyàn kí ó tó gbọ́ ti ẹnu rẹ̀ àti kí ó tó mọ ohun tí ó ṣe bí?”
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.
Wọ́n dáhùn wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ pẹ̀lú wá láti Galili bí? Wá kiri, kí o sì wò nítorí kò sí wòlíì kan tí ó ti Galili dìde.”
53 And every man returned to his own house.
Wọ́n sì lọ olúkúlùkù sí ilé rẹ̀.
