John 7
1 After these things Jesus continued to move about in Galilee, since He did not wish to move about in Judea because the Jews were wanting 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 near.
Unsiki ughwa kikulukulu kya Vayahudi ikya fyeve, ghulyale piipi kufika.
3 So His brothers said to Him: “Leave here and go up into Judea so your disciples also may see the works that you are doing,
Avanuuna va Yesu vakam'buula uYesu vakati, “Lino uvuuke apa, ulute kukighavo ikya Yudea kuuti avavingilili vaako vafyaghe ifidegho fyako fino ghuvomba.
4 because no one does anything in secret while he actually wants to be in evidence. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world!”
Umuunhu juno ilonda kukagulika, naivomba imbombo saake kuvusyefu, lino ulwakuva ghuvomba isi sooni, ghuhufie kuvaanhu vooni.”
5 For not even His brothers were believing into Him.
Avanuuna valyajovile enendiiki, ulwakuva voope navalyamwitiike.
6 So Jesus says to them: “My time is not here yet, but your time is always available.
Pe uYesu akavavuula akati, “Unsiki ghwango ghukyale pifika, looli umue ndepoonu muluta amasiki ghooni.
7 The world cannot hate you, but does hate me, because I testify about it that its works are malignant.
Avaanhu ava mu iisi muno navangavakalalile umue, looli vikung'halalila une, ulwakuva nikuvaavuula kuuti, sino vivoomba mbiivi.
8 You guys go up to this feast; I am not going up yet to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come.”
Umue lutaghi kukikulukulu ikio; une naniluta ulwakuvaunsiki ghwango ghukyale pifika.
9 So upon saying these things to them He stayed on in Galilee.
U Yesu ye ajovile aghuo akajigha mu kighavo ikya Galilaya.
10 Now when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He too went up, not openly but in secret like.
Neke avanuuna ye valutile ku kikulukulu, ghwope u Yesu akaluta, neke akaluta kisyefu, kisila kuhufia kuvaanhu. Kukikulukulu ukuo,
11 So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and saying, “Where is he?”
aVayahudi vakava vikumulonda u Yesu viposia kuvaanhu vitii, “Alikuughi?”
12 And there was a lot of murmuring about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is good”; others were saying, “On the contrary, he's deceiving the people.”
Avaanhu vinga mulipugha lila. Vakava vikujovasia, vamo vitii, “Umuunhu ujuo nnofu.” Avange vitii, “Ndali, umuunhu ujuo isofia avaanhu.”
13 However, no one was talking openly about Him for fear of the Jews.
Neke nakwealyale umuunhu juno alyale ijova imhola saake pa vuvalafu, ulwakuva vakoghopagha aVayahudi.
14 Now when the feast was already half over Jesus went up into the temple and started to teach.
Pakate pa fighono ifya kikulukulu u Yesu akingila mu luviika ulwa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, akatengula kuvulanisia avaanhu.
15 And the Jews were marveling saying, “How is this man learned, not having been educated?”
Avayahudi vakava videgha vitii, “Umuunhu uju akaghwile ndaani isi, kisila kwimba?
16 So Jesus answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but His who sent me.
Pe pano U Yesu akavamula akati, “Imbulanisio soni nivulanisia na sango, looli sihumile kwa juno asung'hile.
17 If anyone wants to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.
Umuunhu juno ilonda kuvomba isa vughane vusa Nguluve, ikagula kuuti imbulanisio isi sihumile Nguluve, nambe kuuti nijova muvutavulilua vwango juune.
18 Someone who speaks on his own is seeking his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness 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 not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law! Why do you want to kill me?”
U Moose naalyavapeliile umue indaghilo? Neke nakwalemambe jumo pakate palyumue juno ivingilila indaghilo isio. Lino kiki milonda pikumbuda?”
20 The crowd answered and said, “You must have a demon! Who wants to kill you?”
Avaantu mu lipugha lila vakamwamula vakati, “Uli ni lipepo uve. Ghwe veeni juno ilonda pikukubuda?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them: “I did one work, and you all marvel.
U Yesu akavamula akati, “Une nikavombile ikidegho kimo, umue mweni mukakenyemuka.
22 Consider this: Moses gave you circumcision (not that it comes from Moses, but from the patriarchs), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
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 receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Law of Moses won't be broken, are you angry at me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?
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 Stop judging on the basis of appearances, but judge the righteous judgment.”
Mulekaghe kuhiga umuunhu mulwa kulola pamaaso, looli muhighaghe mu vwakyang'haani.
25 Now some of the Jerusalemites were saying: “Isn't this the man they are wanting to kill?
Avaanhu vamonga ava mu likaaja ilya Yelusalemu vakava viposania vitii, Asi, umuunhu uju naghwe juno avalongosi va Vayahudi vilonda kukumbuda?
26 Yet look! He is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to Him. Could it be true that the rulers know that this is really the Christ?
Lolagha ijova pa vuvalafu, neke avene naijova kimonga! Pamo aveene avolongosi vitii umuunhu uju lweli ghwe Kilisite!
27 On the other hand, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ comes nobody knows where He is from.”
Ukilisite iliiva ikwisa nakwale nambe muunhu juno ilikagula kuno ihumila! Umuunhu uju kuno ihumatukagwile.
28 So Jesus called out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You do know me, and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own, but the One who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
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 do know Him because I am from Him, and He sent me.”
une nanilisile mu vutavulilua vwango, ulwene juno asung'hile une ghwa kyang'haani, umue namunkagwile.
30 So they tried to arrest Him, yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had 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 Now many of the crowd were believing into Him, and they were saying, “Whenever the Christ comes He won't perform more signs than these which this man has done, will He?”
Avaanhu vinga mu lipugha lila vakamwitika. Vakava vijova viiti, “Iliiva ikwisa uKiliste ilivomba ifidegho kukila fino avombile uju?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Him, so the Pharisees and the chief priests sent operatives to arrest Him.
Avafalisayi vakapulika ilipugha lya vaanhu vipwepa vwimila imhola sa Yesu, pe avavaha va vatekesi na Vafalisayi vakasuung'ha avasikali kuuti vankole.
33 Then Jesus said: “For a little while I am still with you, and then I go to the One who sent me.
Pepano uYesu ajajova akati, “Niiva numue unsiki n'debe vuvule, neke pambele nigomoka kwa juno asun'ghile.
34 You will look for me and not find me; also, where I am you cannot come.”
Mulikundoonda, neke namulikunyaagha, kange kuno niliiva, umue namungafike.”
35 So the Jews said among themselves: “Where does this fellow intend to go that we won't find him? He doesn't intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does he?
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 word is this that he spoke, ‘You will look for me and not find me’; also, ‘where I am you cannot come’?”
Asi, kwe kuti kiki pano iiti, 'Mulikundonda, neke namulikunyaagha, kange kuno niliiva umue namungafike?”
37 Now on the last and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood up and called out saying: “If anyone thirsts, 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 The one believing into me, just as the Scripture has said, out from his innermost being will 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 He said this about the Spirit, whom those believing into Him were going to receive, in that the Holy Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet been 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 So upon hearing this word many from the crowd began to say, “This One really is ‘the Prophet’!”
Avaanhu vamonga mu lipugha lila ye vapuliike amasio aghuo, vakati, “Kyang'haani, umuunhu uju m'bili.”
41 Others were saying, “This One is the Christ!” Others were saying: “Surely the Christ isn't coming out of Galilee, is He?
Vamonga vakati, “Umuunhu uju ghwe Kilisite.” Neke avange vakati, “Ndali, uKilisite ndepoonu ihuma ku Galilaya?
42 Doesn't the Scripture say that the Christ comes out of the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, 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 developed a division in the crowd because of Him.
Pepano avaanhu vakalekeng'hana vivimila uYesu.
44 Further, some of them were wanting to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
Avaanu vamonga mu lipugha lila vakava vilonda kuku nkola, neke nakwealyale umuunhu juno akaghela kuku nkola.
45 Then the operatives came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why haven't you brought him?”
Avasikali vala vakagomoka ku vavaha va vatekesi na kuVafalisayi, kisila kunkola uYesu. Avavaha vala vakavaposia vakati, “Kiki namunkolile na kukumuleeta?”
46 The operatives answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
Avasikali vala vakamula vakati, “Naaghelile kuhumila umuunhu juno ijova ndavule umuunhu jula.
47 So the Pharisees answered them: “You haven't been fooled too, have you?
Avafalisayi vakavaposia vakati, “Kwekuti najumue musyangilue?
48 None of the rulers or the Pharisees have believed into him, have they?
Asi ghwe veeni mu valongosi viitu nambe mu Vafalisayi juno amwitiike?
49 But this crowd that doesn't know the law is accursed!”
Ulwene avanu avuo avuo navasikagwile indaghilo sa moose, avuo vaghunilue.”
50 Nicodemus (the one who came to Him at night, being one of them) says to them,
Pepano uNikodemu (umo mu valongosi va Vafalisayi, juno ikighono kimonga alyalutile kwa Yesu pakilo), akavaposia akati,
51 “Our law doesn't judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing, does it?”
“Asi indaghilo siitu sikwitikisia kukumhigha umuunhu kisila kumpulikisia na kukusitang'hania sino avombile?”
52 They answered and said to him: “You aren't from Galilee too, are you? Search and see that no prophet has ever arisen out of Galilee.”
Aveene vakamwamula vakati, “Neke najuuve uhumile ku Galilaya? Londagha muMalembe amimike pekyaghukagula kuuti nakwale umbili juno ahumile ku Galilaya.”
53 So each one went to his own house.
