John 8
1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Yesu hi ni gbunlu Zaitun.
2 And at dawn He went again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; so sitting down He started to teach them.
Ni mbubele a ka ban ye ni hekeli, indji wawu'u ba kaban ye niwu, aye kuson na si tsoro ba.
3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman caught in adultery; and placing her in the center
Se bi nha ni Farisawa ba nji Iwa wandi ba vu asi tie ngyungyu, u ba yo ni tsutsu mba.
4 they say to Him: “Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the very act.
U ba tre niwu, Malan, Iwa yi ba vu ahe ni mi si ti ngyungyu.
5 Now in our law Moses commanded that such women are to be stoned; so what do you say?”
Ni du Musa, a tre ki ta bi indji bi ki, Iwu u tre nigen ni tuma?”
6 They said this to test Him, so that they might have an accusation against Him. But stooping down Jesus began to write on the ground with His finger, taking no notice.
U ba tre naki ni ndu sa tre ni ndu ba fe ni ikpe wa ani kpa ndema tie meme (Ko latre), u Yesu sontu grji na si nha ni menme ni vren wo.
7 But since they kept on asking Him, straightening up He said to them, “Let the one without sin among you throw the first stone at her.”
U ba kamba na kri ti tutu bubu miyen, wa lukri ni ndide na hla bawu, “Indji ri ni mi biwa ato ana latre na, ka guci ta.
8 And stooping down again He continued writing on the ground.
A la sontu grji na nha ni vren woma.
9 Now upon hearing this, and being convicted by their conscience, they began to go out one by one, starting with the older ones down to the least. So only Jesus was left, with the woman in the center.
Ba wo naki na lu shan rju ni yi yir ri ni ninkon, na ka Yesu don ni grjima, mba Iwa wa ba na yo ni tsutsu mba.
10 So straightening up, and not seeing anyone except the woman, Jesus said to her: “Where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
Yesu lu kir dinde na miyen, “Iwa, bi wa ba nha wu ba he ni tse? Idiori na nhau na?
11 So she said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said to her: “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on don't sin any more!”
Wa hla ba diori, (Ubangiji), “Yesu tre, imeme mina nhawu na, hi na la latre ganna.
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk around in the darkness, but will have the light of the Life.”
Yesu tre niba ganri, andi, “I hi me yi mi kpan u gbungbulu, Indji iwa a hume ana tre ni bwuh na ama ani he ni kpan u re (iviri).”
13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about yourself; your testimony is not valid.”
Farisawa ba tre niwu, “U zi tre nitu ikpe wa wuto'a nmitu tume, ana njanji na.
14 Jesus answered and said to them: “Even though I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
Yesu sa nibawu na hla, mi ti sheda tu mu me, ahi njanji, mi to iwurji wa mi rji ni wa mi hi'a, biyi kuko bina to wurji wa mi rji'a na, bina to wurji wa mi hi'a na.
15 You are judging according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.
Bi tron u son tu, ime na tron to ni diori na.
16 Yet even if I do judge, my judging is valid, in that I am not alone in judging, but I and the Father who sent me are together.
Ko mina tron ni diori me, itron mu mu'a a u njani nitu ana me kankrji mu na, ki he mbu Iti mu wa a ton me.
17 It is written precisely in your law that the testimony of two men is valid:
Ee, Ana ki ni du wa ba nha mi tre bitsi, andi sheda indji hari a njanji.
18 I am one testifying concerning myself and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me.”
Ahi me yi mi sheda itu mu, u Itimu iwa a ton me a sheda mu.”
19 Then they said to Him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me you would also know my Father.”
Ba miyen, “Iti me ahe ni tsen?” Yesu hla ni bawu bina tome na, me bika tre Itimu, bina to me, bina to Iti mu'a me.
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come.
A hla tre biyi whirewhir ni bubu wa ba zi kpi wa si tsoro ba tre Rji ni mi hekeli, idiori na vu na nitu iton ma na tsira rina.
21 Then Jesus said to them again: “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come.”
Na hla bawu bru, mi hi biwa bina to me na, bi kwu ni mi latre bi. bubu wa misi hi'a, bina ya hi na.
22 So the Jews said, “He won't kill himself, will he, since he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?”
Yahudawa ba tre, ani wutuma mu, na ni tre iwurji wa mi hi'a bina ya hi na?”
23 He said to them: “You are from below; I am from Above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
Yesu hla bawu biyi bi rji ni meme, u me mi rji ni shu. Bi he ni gbungbulu yi, ime mina rji ni yi ni gbungbulu yi na.
24 That is why I told you that you will die in your sins, because if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins.”
Iki sa mi hla niyu bi kwu ni mi latre bi. Bitana kpayemmen ni soron bi andi a hi me na, bi kwu ni mi latre bi.
25 So they said to Him, “Who are you?” And Jesus said to them: “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
U ba tre niwu, awu nha? “Yesu hla ba wu, ikpe mi hla rji ni mumla.
26 I have many things to say and to judge about you, but He who sent me is true, and what I myself have heard from Him—these things I say to the world.”
Mi he ni kpi gbugbuwu wa mi hla ni yiwu, ni gbi ton ni yiwu ni tuma. Naki me, indji wa a ton ndu, andi u njanji, ikpi wa mi wo niwu'a a baki mi si hla ni gbungbulu ba.”
27 They did not understand that He was speaking to them about the Father.
Bana tona ndi asi tre nitu Iti'a.
28 Then Jesus said to them: “When you lift up the Son of the Man, then you will know that I am and that I do nothing from myself; but just as my Father has taught me, these things I speak.
Yesu tre, bita zu Vren Ndji hi ni shu ri bi to ndi a hi me, ndi mi ti kpi ri ni tumu na. Na wa Iti tsoro me, naki mi si ikpi ni yiwu.
29 And the One who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do the things that please Him.”
Wawu wa a ton me ndu'a, ana ka me don kan grji mu na, ahe ni me nitu kpi wawu wa me ti'a ani kpa soron ma si.”
30 While He was saying these things many believed into Him.
Wa Yesu si hla bi mba, indji gbugbu'u ba kpa yemme ni wu.
31 So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him: “If you abide in my word, you really are my disciples;
Yesu hla biyi ni Yahudawa biwa ba wo na kpayenmen niwu, “Bi ta kli ni mi tre mu ni njanji, bi almajere mu bi nanji.
32 and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free.”
Bi to njanji, u njanji ni kpayi chuwo.”
33 They answered and said to Him: “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
U ba sa niwu, “Ki mir bi grji ba Ibrahim wa kina ti bre hu diori kan na, iwa tre ni genri, ba kpatachuwo?”
34 Jesus answered them: “I tell you most assuredly that everyone committing sin is a slave of sin.
Yesu hla bawu, “Njani, njanji, mi hla ni yiwu, indji wa ani latre, ahi gran latre.
Igran, na son ni ko se ka se na, ata son se ka se. (aiōn g165)
36 Therefore, if the Son should make you free, you really will be free.
Naki, ivren nita kpa yi chuwo, u bi nawo wawu.
37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham, but you are wanting to kill me because my word finds no place in you.
Mi to bi, bi igrji Ibrahim, bi son bi wuma, nitu wa lan tre mu na he ni bubu son ni mi bina.
38 On my part, I speak what I have observed with my Father, while on your part you do what you have observed with your father.”
Mi hla ikpe wa mi to ni Ti mu, biyi bi ti ikpe wa bi wo ni ba ti bi'a.
39 They answered and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham!” Jesus says to them: “If you were children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham;
U ba sa niwu, “Ibrahim mba a timbu, Yesu hla bawu, “Bina mir Ibrahim bina ti ikpe wa Ibrahim a ti'a.
40 but now you are wanting to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. This sort of thing Abraham did not do!
U, zizan bi son wume, indji wa a hla njani ni yiwu wa a wo rji ni Rji. Ibrahim na ti naki na.
41 You do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”
Bi ti na Iti mbi, u ba hla niwu, “Bana grji ta ni mi gyugyu na, ki he ni Iti riri, Irji.”
42 So Jesus said to them: “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I came forth from God and I am here. Further, I have not come on my own, but He sent me.
Yesu hla bawu, “Irji ana Iti bi bi na son me, u mi rji ni Irji i mi he ni yi zizan, ana ni tumu mi ye na, a wawu yi ton me.
43 Why don't you understand what I say?—because you are not able to really hear my word.
Ahi genri sa bina ya to wo tre mu na? e bina wo tre mu na.
44 You are of your father the devil, and it is the desires of your father that you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks the lie he speaks from his own things, because he is a liar and the father of lying.
Bi u Ti bi, Ibrji, bi son bi hu iza ma Iti bi, ani wu ndi rji ni mumla mu ana kri ni njanji na he ni wuna, anita ni hla ice, asi hla Iti ma (isoron ma) rji ni mu a indji u ce na Iti u ce ngari.
45 But since I speak the truth you do not believe me.
Wa mi si hla njanji ni yiwu u bi na kpa yenme ni kpe wa mi si hla na.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? So if I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
Ahi nha ni ri mbi a vu me ni latre? Mi ta hla njanji u bi ka na kpayemme na?
47 The one who is of God hears God's words; that is why you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
Indji wa a u Rji ani wo tre Rji, biyi bina wo tre Irji na, nitu wa bina u Rji na.
48 So the Jews answered and said to Him, “We say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon—are we wrong?”
Yahudawa ba sa niwu, natre, “Kina hla njanji na nitu wa ki hla andi u indji u Samariya ni he ni meme brji?”
49 Jesus answered: “I do not have a demon; rather, I honor my Father, while you dishonor me.
Yesu sa bawu, “ime mi na he ni Ibrji na, mi to ninkon u Timu, biyi bina to ninkon mu na.”
50 Yet I do not seek my glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
Mina wa to tu mu ti kperi u tu mu na, Indji ri he wa ani wa na ni gbi ton.
51 Most assuredly I say to you, if anyone should keep my word he will never ever see death.” (aiōn g165)
Njanji, njanji, mi hla ni yiwu, indji wa a hu tre mu, ana to kwu na.” (aiōn g165)
52 So the Jews said to Him: “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died and so did the prophets; yet you say, ‘If anyone should keep my word he will never ever taste death’! (aiōn g165)
U Yahudawa ba tre, zizan yi ki to u he ni brji. Ibrahim ni ana bawa ba kwu, iwu u tre, indji wa a hu tre me ana to kwu na.' (aiōn g165)
53 Surely you aren't greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets are dead. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
Ee, u na zan Iti mbu Ibrahim ni ninkon na wa kwu, ka u zan? anabawa me ba kwu, u ban tu ndi u nha?”
54 Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
Yesu sa, “Mita ban tumu ti kperi u tu mu, ani u migyen, ahi Iti mu mba ban ti kperi iwa bi tre ahi wawuyi a Irji bi.
55 Yet you have not known Him, but I do know Him. And if I should say that I do not know Him I would be a liar just like you (pl); but I do know Him and I keep His word.
Bi mebina tou na, ime mi tou, mi ta tre mina tou na, ka mi kati iriri ni yi me, indji u ce, se me, mi to ni ni hu tre ma.
56 Your father Abraham was overjoyed to see my day; yes, he saw it and rejoiced.”
Iti bi Ibrahim a gir ni to ivi mu, a tou na gir.”
57 So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?!”
Yahudawa ba hla niwu, “Una ti hamsi rina, una to Ibrahim?”
58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM!”
Yesu hla bawu, “Njanji, njanji, mi si hla ni yiwu, mi heri, ban grji Ibrahim.
59 Then they picked up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus was concealed and went out of the temple, going through the middle of them; yes, that is how He got away!
U ba vu tita ndi ba tau, u Yesu ri tuma, na rju ni mi hekeli'a.
