John 8
1 And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,
Ma Jisọs rigooro nʼUgwu Oliv.
2 And early in the morning came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them.
Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ọ bịara ọzọ nʼụlọnsọ ukwuu ebe ọtụtụ mmadụ bịakwutere ya. Ọ nọdụrụ ala malite ikuziri ha ihe.
3 Then the Scribes, and the Pharises brought vnto him a woman, taken in adulterie, and set her in the middes,
Ndị ozizi iwu na ndị Farisii dọkpụtara otu nwanyị ha jidere nʼịkwa iko. Ha mere ka o guzo nʼihu igwe mmadụ ahụ niile.
4 And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.
Ha sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi, anyị jidere nwanyị a ka ọ na-akwa iko.
5 Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?
Nʼiwu, Mosis nyere anyị ikike ka e jiri okwute tugbuo onye mere ihe dị otu a. Gịnị ka i nwere ikwu banyere nke a?”
6 And this they saide to tempt him, that they might haue, whereof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the groud.
Ha kwuru nke a iji nwalee ya, iji nweta ihe ha ga-eji ebo ya ebubo. Ma Jisọs hulatara ala were mkpịsịaka ya dee ihe nʼala.
7 And while they continued asking him, hee lift himselfe vp, and sayde vnto them, Let him that is among you without sinne, cast the first stone at her.
Mgbe ha nọgidere na-ajụ ya ajụjụ, o biliri sị ha, “Onye ọbụla nʼime unu na-emebeghị mmehie ọbụla, ya buru ụzọ tụọ ya nkume.”
8 And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.
Ọzọ, o hulatakwara ala malite ide ihe ọ na-ede nʼala.
9 And when they heard it, being accused by their owne conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at ye eldest euen to the last: so Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the mids.
Mgbe ha nụrụ nke a, ha niile nʼotu nʼotu, malite nʼonye okenye ha, sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ. Nʼikpeazụ, ọ fọdụrụ naanị Jisọs na nwanyị ahụ, ebe o guzoro nʼihu ya.
10 When Iesus had lift vp himselfe againe, and sawe no man, but the woman, hee saide vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
Jisọs guzoro ọtọ jụọ ya sị, “Nwanyị, oleekwanụ ha? Ọ dịghị onye mara gị ikpe?”
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more.
Ọ sịrị, “O nweghị onye ọbụla Onyenwe anyị.” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Mụ onwe m amakwaghị gị ikpe: Gawa, kama emehiekwala ọzọ.”
12 Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am that light of the worlde: hee that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenes, but shall haue that light of life.
Ọzọ, Jisọs gwara ha sị, “Abụ m ihe nke ụwa. Onye ọbụla na-eso m agaghị ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị, kama ọ ga-enwe ìhè nke ndụ.”
13 The Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true.
Ndị Farisii sịrị, “Ị na-agbara onwe gị ama! Ya mere ama ị na-agbara onwe gị abụghị ezie.”
14 Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, Though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe.
Ma Jisọs zara sị, “A sịkwarị na mụ na-agbara onwe m ama, ama m na-agba bụ eziokwu. Nʼihi na-amara m ebe m si bịa, marakwa m ebe m na-aga. Ma unu aghọtaghị ebe m si bịa, maọbụ ebe m na-aga.
15 Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.
Unu na-ekpe ikpe dị ka mmadụ; ma ekpeghị m onye ọbụla ikpe.
16 And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.
Ma ọ bụrụ na m ekpe ikpe, ikpe m bụ eziokwu nʼihi na ọ bụghị naanị m nọ, kama ọ bụ mụ na Nna m, onye zitere m.
17 And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.
E dere nʼiwu unu sị, ‘ama mmadụ abụọ gbara bụ eziokwu.’
18 I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.
Ana m agba ama banyere onwe m. Nna m, onye zitere m, na-agbakwa ama banyere m.”
19 Then saide they vnto him, Where is that Father of thine? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor that Father of mine. If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen that Father of mine also.
Mgbe ahụ ha jụrụ ya, “Olee ebe Nna gị nọ?” Jisọs zara, “Unu amaghị m, unu amakwaghị Nna m. Ọ bụrụ na unu matara m unu ga-amatakwa onye Nna m bụ.”
20 These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurie, as hee taught in the Temple, and no man layde handes on him: for his houre was not yet come.
Okwu ndị a niile ka o kwuru nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ha, mgbe ọ na-akụzi ihe na mpaghara ụlọ ahụ ebe a na-adọba onyinye. Ma ọ dịghị onye ọbụla jidere ya nʼihi na oge ya erubeghị.
21 Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, and shall die in your sinnes, Whither I goe, can ye not come.
Ọzọ ọ gwara ha, “Aga m ahapụ unu, unu ga-achọ m, ma unu ga-anwụ nʼime mmehie unu. Ma unu apụghị ịbịa nʼebe m na-aga.”
22 Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?
Nke a mere ka ndị Juu na-asị, “Ọ ga-egbu onwe ya? Ọ bụ ya mere o ji sị, ‘Ebe m na-aga unu apụghị ị bịa’?”
23 And hee saide vnto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from aboue: ye are of this world, I am not of this worlde.
Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Unu si nʼala ma esi m nʼelu bịa. Unu bụkwa ndị ụwa, ma abụkwaghị m nke ụwa a.
24 I said therefore vnto you, That ye shall die in your sinnes: for except ye beleeue, that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes.
A sịrị m unu na unu ga-anwụ nʼime mmehie unu, naanị na unu kwenyere na mụ onwe m, bụ onye ahụ.”
25 Then saide they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saide vnto them, Euen the same thing that I said vnto you from the beginning.
Ha jụrụ ya, “Onye ka ị bụ?” Jisọs zara sị ha, “Abụ m onye ahụ m gwara unu na m bụ na mbụ.
26 I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speake I to the world.
E nwere m ọtụtụ ihe m ga-ekwu nʼikpe unu ikpe. Ma matanụ na onye ahụ zitere m bụ onye eziokwu. Nʼihi nke a, ihe niile m nụrụ site nʼọnụ ya ka m gwara ụwa.”
27 They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.
Ọ bụ ihe banyere Nna ya ka ọ na-agwa ha, ma ha aghọtaghị ya.
28 Then said Iesus vnto them, When ye haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe, but as my Father hath taught me, so I speake these things.
Ya mere Jisọs sịrị, “Mgbe unu weliri Nwa nke Mmadụ elu, mgbe ahụ ka unu ga-ama na mụ onwe m bụ ya. Unu ga-amatakwa na ọ dịghị ihe m na-eme nʼonwe m, kama, dị ka Nna m ziri m ka m na-ekwu ihe ndị a.
29 For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him.
Onye ahụ nke zitere m na-anọnyekwara m. Ọ hapụghịkwa m mgbe ọbụla, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe na-amasị ya ka m na-eme mgbe niile.”
30 As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.
Mgbe ọ na-ekwu ihe ndị a, ọtụtụ kwenyere na ya.
31 Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,
Jisọs gwara ndị Juu ndị kwere na ya, “Ọ bụrụ na unu anọgide nʼokwu m nʼezie unu ga-abụ ndị na-eso ụzọ m.
32 And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.
Unu ga-amatakwa eziokwu ahụ, eziokwu ahụ ga-emekwa ka unu nwere onwe unu.”
33 They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?
Ha zara ya, “Anyị bụ ụmụ Ebraham, o nwebeghị oge anyị ji bụrụ ohu onye ọbụla. Olee otu i si na-asị na a ga-eme ka anyị nwere onwe anyị?”
34 Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.
Jisọs zara ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie asị m unu, onye ọbụla na-eme mmehie bụ ohu mmehie.
Ohu enwekwaghị ọnọdụ mgbe ọbụla nʼezinaụlọ, ma ọkpara nwere ọnọdụ ruo ebighị ebi. (aiōn g165)
36 If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.
Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na Ọkpara ahụ emee ka unu nwere onwe unu nʼezie, unu ga-abụ ndị nwere onwe unu.
37 I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.
Ama m na unu bụ ụmụ ụmụ Ebraham, ma unu na-achọ igbu m nʼihi na okwu m enweghị ọnọdụ nʼime unu.
38 I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father.
Ana m ekwu ihe m hụrụ nʼebe Nna m nọ, ma unu na-eme ihe unu nụrụ site nʼaka nna unu.”
39 They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.
Ha zara ya, “Ebraham bụ nna anyị.” Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na unu bụ ụmụ Ebraham, unu gara na-arụ ọrụ Ebraham rụrụ.
40 But nowe ye goe about to kill mee, a man that haue told you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Ma unu na-achọ igbu m, bụ onye gwara unu eziokwu ahụ m nụrụ nʼebe Chineke nọ. Ebraham emeghị otu a.
41 Ye do the workes of your father. Then said they to him, We are not borne of fornication: we haue one Father, which is God.
Unu na-arụ ọrụ nna unu rụrụ.” Ha sịrị ya, “Anyị abụghị ụmụ a mụrụ site nʼịkwa iko; naanị Chineke ya onwe ya bụ otu Nna anyị nwere.”
42 Therefore Iesus sayde vnto them, If God were your Father, then woulde ye loue mee: for I proceeded foorth, and came from God, neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me.
Jisọs gwara ha, “Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na Chineke bụ Nna unu, unu ga-ahụ m nʼanya, nʼihi na ọ bụ Chineke zitere m. Abịaghị m site nʼike aka m.
43 Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.
Gịnị mere unu adịghị aghọta ihe m na-ekwu? Ọ bụ na unu enweghị ike ịnabata okwu m.
44 Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lustes of your father ye will doe: hee hath bene a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When hee speaketh a lie, then speaketh hee of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
Unu bụ ụmụ nke nna unu ekwensu. Uche unu bụ imezu ihe nke nna unu na-achọ. Ọ bụ ogbu ọchụ site na mbụ. Ọ dịghị ejigide eziokwu nʼihi na eziokwu adịghị nʼime ya. Mgbe ọ na-ekwu okwu ụgha, ọ na-ekwu dị ka ọdịdị ya sịrị dị, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye ụgha bụrụkwa nna nke ụgha.
45 And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.
Ma nʼihi na m na-ekwu eziokwu, ọ bụ ya mere unu ekwenyeghị na m.
46 Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?
O nwere onye nʼime unu pụrụ ịtụ m mmehie m nʼihu? Ọ bụrụ na m na-ekwu eziokwu, gịnị mere unu ekwenyeghị na m?
47 He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.
Onye ọbụla sitere na Chineke na-anụ ihe Chineke na-ekwu. Ihe kpatara unu adịghị anụ bụ maka unu abụghị ndị nke Chineke.”
48 Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast a deuil?
Ndị Juu zara sị, “Anyị e kwughị eziokwu mgbe anyị sịrị na ị bụ onye Sameria, na mmụọ ọjọọ bikwa nʼime gị?”
49 Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me.
Jisọs zaghachiri, “Mmụọ ọjọọ ọbụla adịghị nʼime m, kama ana m asọpụrụ Nna m, ma unu adịghị asọpụrụ m.
50 And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.
Anaghị m achọ otuto nke onwe m, kama ọ dị onye nke na-achọ ya. Ọ bụkwa ya bụ onye ikpe.
Nʼezie, nʼezie, agwa unu, onye ọbụla na-edebe okwu m agaghị anwụ ọzọ.” (aiōn g165)
52 Then said the Iewes to him, Now know we that thou hast a deuill. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keepe my worde, he shall neuer taste of death. (aiōn g165)
Mgbe ahụ ndị Juu sịrị ya, “Anyị maara ugbu a na mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime gị. Ebraham nwụrụ anwụ ya na ndị amụma, ma gị onwe gị na-asị na onye ọbụla kwere na gị agaghị anwụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whome makest thou thy selfe?
Ị dị ukwuu karịa nna anyị Ebraham? Ọ nwụrụ, ma ndị amụma nwụkwara. Onye ka ị na-eche na ị bụ?”
54 Iesus answered, If I honour my selfe, mine honour is nothing worth: it is my Father that honoureth me, whome ye say, that hee is your God.
Jisọs zara, “Ọ bụrụ na m etoo onwe m, otuto m bụ ihe efu, Nna m, onye unu na-asị na ọ bụ Chineke unu, bụ onye na-eto m.
55 Yet ye haue not knowen him: but I knowe him, and if I should say I know him not, I should be a liar like vnto you: but I knowe him, and keepe his worde.
Amaara m onye ọ bụ nʼagbanyeghị na unu amaghị ya. Aga m abụ onye ụgha ma ọ bụrụ na m ga-asị na-amaghị m onye ọ bụ. Amaara m ya na-edebekwa okwu ya.
56 Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad.
Nna unu Ebraham ṅụrịrị ọṅụ mgbe o chetara na ọ ga-ahụ ụbọchị m; ọ hụrụ ya ma ṅụrịakwa ọnụ.”
57 Then sayd ye Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeere olde, and hast thou seene Abraham?
Ndị Juu sịrị ya, “Ị gbabeghị iri afọ ise ma ị hụla Ebraham?”
58 Iesus sayd vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, tupu amụọ Ebraham, mụ onwe m nọ ya.”
59 Then tooke they vp stones, to cast at him, but Iesus hid himselfe, and went out of the Temple: And hee passed through the middes of them, and so went his way.
Ya mere, ha tụtụlitere nkume ịtụ ya, ma Jisọs zoro onwe ya, sitekwa nʼụlọnsọ ukwuu ahụ pụọ.
