John 8
1 And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,
(Zingatia: Angalia ufafanuzi wa Yohana 7: 53 - 8: 11 hapo juu). Yesu alienda mlima wa Mizeituni.
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.
Mapema asubuhi akaja tena hekaluni, na watu wote wakamwendea; akakaa na kuwafundisha.
3 Then the Scribes, and the Pharises brought vnto him a woman, taken in adulterie, and set her in the middes,
Waandishi na Mafarisayo wakamletea mwanamke aliyekamatwa katika kitendo cha kuzini. Wakamweka katikati.
4 And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.
(Zingatia: Angalia ufafanuzi wa Yohana 7: 53 - 8: 11 hapo juu). Ndipo wakamwambia Yesu, “Mwalimu, mwanamke huyu amekamatwa katika uzinzi, katika kitendo kabisa.
5 Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?
Sasa, katika sheria, Musa ametuamuru kuwaponda mawe watu kama hawa, unasemaje juu yake?
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.
Walisema haya ili kumtega ili kwamba wapate jambo la kumshitaki, lakini Yesu akainama chini akaandika katika ardhi kwa kidole chake.
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.
(Zingatia: Angalia ufafanuzi wa Yohana 7: 53 - 8: 11 hapo juu). Walipoendelea kumwuliza, alisimama na kuwaambia, “Yeye asiyekuwa na dhambi miongoni mwenu, awe wa kwanza kumponda mawe.”
8 And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.
Akainama tena chini, akaandika katika ardhi kwa kidole chake.
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.
(Zingatia: Angalia ufafanuzi wa Yohana 7: 53 - 8: 11 hapo juu). Waliposikia hayo, waliondoka mmoja baada ya mwingine, kuanzia aliye mzee. Mwishowe Yesu aliachwa peke yake, pamoja na mwanamke aliyekuwa katikati yao.
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?
Yesu alisimama na kumwambia, “Mwanamke, waliokushitaki wako wapi? Hakuna hata mmoja aliyekuhukumu?”
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more.
Akasema, “Hakuna hata mmoja Bwana.” Yesu akasema, “Hata mimi sikuhukumu. Nenda njia yako; kuanzia sasa na kuendelea usitende dhambi tena.”
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.
Tena Yesu akazungumza na watu akisema, “Mimi ni nuru ya ulimwengu; yeye anifuataye hatatembea gizani bali atakuwa na nuru ya uzima.”
13 The Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true.
Mafarisayo wakamwambia, “Unajishuhudia mwenyewe; ushuhuda wako siyo wa kweli.”
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.
Yesu alijibu akawaambia, “Hata kama nitajishuhudia mwenyewe, ushuhuda wangu ni kweli. Ninajua mahali nilikotoka na kule ninakoenda, lakini ninyi hamjui mahali ninapotoka au kule ninakoenda.
15 Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.
Nyinyi mnahukumu kimwili; mimi simhukumu yeyote.
16 And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.
Mimi hata nikihukumu, hukumu yangu ni kweli kwa sababu siko peke yangu, bali niko pamoja na baba aliyenituma.
17 And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.
Ndiyo, na katika sheria yenu imeandikwa kwamba ushuhuda wa watu wawili ni kweli.
18 I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.
Mimi ndiye ninayejishuhudia, na Baba aliyenituma ananishuhudia.”
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.
Wakamwambia, “Baba yako yuko wapi?” Yesu akajibu, “mimi hamnijui wala Baba yangu hammjui; mngelikuwa mnanijua mimi, mngemjua na Baba yangu pia.”
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.
Alisema maneno haya akiwa karibu na hazina alipokuwa akifundisha hekaluni, na hakuna hata mmoja aliyemkamata kwa sababu saa yake ilikuwa bado haijafika.
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.
Basi akawaambia tena, “Ninaenda zangu; mtanitafuta na mtakufa katika dhambi zenu. Kule niendako, hamuwezi kuja.”
22 Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?
Wayahudi wakasema, “Atajiua mwenyewe, yeye ambaye alisema, 'kule niendako hamuwezi kuja'?”
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.
Yesu akawaambia, “Mnatoka chini; mimi natoka juu. Ninyi ni wa Ulimwengu huu; mimi si wa ulimwengu huu.
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.
Kwa hiyo, naliwaambieni kuwa mtakufa katika dhambi zenu. Vinginevyo muamini kuwa MIMI NDIYE, mtakufa katika dhambi zenu”.
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.
Kwa hiyo wakamwambia, “Wewe ni nani?” Yesu akawaambia, Yale niliyowaambia tangu mwanzo.
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.
Ninayo mambo mengi ya kuzungumza na kuhukumu juu yenu. Hata hivyo, yeye aliyenituma ni wa kweli; na mambo niliyoyasikia kutoka kwake, mambo haya nayasema kwa Ulimwengu.”
27 They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.
Hawakumuelewa kwamba alikuwa akiongea nao kuhusu Baba.
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.
Yesu akasema, “Mtakapomwinua juu Mwana wa Mtu, ndipo mtakapojua kuwa MIMI NDIYE, na kwamba sifanyi lolote kwa nafsi yangu. Kama Baba alivyonifundisha, ninazungumza mambo haya.
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.
Yeye aliyenituma yuko pamoja nami, na yeye hajaniacha peke yangu, kwani kila mara nafanya yale yanayompendeza.”
30 As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.
Wakati Yesu akisema mambo haya, wengi walimwamini.
31 Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,
Yesu akasema kwa wale Wayahudi waliomwamini, “Ikiwa mtakaa katika neno langu, ndipo mtakuwa wanafunzi wangu kweli,
32 And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.
nanyi mtaijua kweli, na kweli itawaweka huru.”
33 They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?
Walimjibu, “Sisi ni uzao wa Ibrahimu na kamwe hatujawahi kwa chini ya utumwa wa yeyote; utasemaje, “Tutawekwa huru?”
34 Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.
Yesu aliwajibu, “Amini, amini, nawaambia, kila atendaye dhambi ni mtumwa wa dhambi.
Mtumwa hakai nyumbani wakati wote; mwana hudumu siku zote. (aiōn g165)
36 If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.
Kwa hiyo, ikiwa Mwana akiwaweka huru, mtakuwa huru kweli kabisa.”
37 I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.
Ninajua kwamba ninyi ni uzao wa Ibrahimu; mnatafuta kuniua kwa sababu neno langu halina nafasi ndani yenu.
38 I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father.
Ninasema mambo ambayo nimeyaona pamoja na Baba yangu, na ninyi vile vile mnafanya mambo ambayo mliyasikia kutoka kwa baba yenu.”
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.
Walijibu na kumwambia, “Baba yetu ni Abrahamu.” Yesu akawaambia, Kama mngelikuwa watoto wa Ibrahimu, mngefanya kazi za Ibrahimu.
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.
Hata sasa mnatafuta kuniua, mtu aliyewaambia ukweli kwamba nilisikia kutoka kwa Mungu. Abrahamu hakufanya hivi.
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.
Mnafanya kazi za baba yenu.” Wakamwambia, “Hatukuzaliwa katika uzinzi, tunaye Baba mmoja, Mungu.”
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.
Yesu akawaambia, “Ikiwa Mungu ni Baba yenu, mngenipenda mimi, kwa maana nimetoka kwa Mungu; wala sikuja kwa nafsi yangu, bali yeye alinituma.
43 Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.
Kwa nini hamyaelewi maneno yangu? Kwa sababu hamuwezi kuvumilia kuyasikia maneno yangu.
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.
Ninyi ni wa baba yenu, shetani, na mnataka kuzitenda tamaa za baba yenu. Alikuwa mwuaji tangu mwanzo na hawezi kusimama katika kweli kwa sababu kweli haimo ndani yake. Anapoongea uongo, anaongea kutoka kwenye asili yake kwa sababu ni mwongo na baba wa uongo.
45 And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.
Hata sasa, kwa sababu ninasema iliyo kweli, hamniamini.
46 Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?
Ni nani kati yenu anayenishuhudia kuwa nina dhambi? ikiwa ninasema iliyo kweli, kwa nini hamniamini?
47 He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.
Yeye aliye wa Mungu huyasikia maneno ya Mungu; ninyi hamyasikii kwa sababu ninyi si wa Mungu.”
48 Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast a deuil?
Wayahudi wakamjibu na kumwambia, hatujasema kweli kuwa wewe ni Msamaria na una pepo?”
49 Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me.
Yesu akajibu, sina pepo; lakini namheshimu Baba yangu, nanyi hamniheshimu.
50 And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.
Sitafuti utukufu wangu; kuna mmoja atafutaye na kuhukumu.
Amini, amini, nawaambia, iwapo yeyote atalishika neno langu, hataona mauti kamwe.” (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)
Wayahudi wakamwambia, “Sasa tumejua kuwa una pepo. Abrahamu na mabii walikufa; lakini unasema, 'Ikiwa mtu atalishika neno langu, hataonja mauti'. (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whome makest thou thy selfe?
Wewe si mkuu kuliko baba yetu Abrahamu aliyekufa, sivyo? Manabii pia walikufa. Wewe wajifanya kuwa nani?”
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.
Yesu akajibu, “Ikiwa nitajitukuza mwenyewe, utukufu wangu ni bure; ni Baba yangu anayenitukuza - yule mnayemsema kuwa ni Mungu wenu.
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.
Ninyi hamjamjua yeye, lakini mimi namjua yeye. Ikiwa nitasema, 'simjui,' nitakuwa kama nyinyi, muongo. Hata hivyo, ninamjua na maneno yake nimeyashika.
56 Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad.
Baba yenu Abrahamu alishangilia atakavyoiona siku yangu; aliiona na alifurahi.”
57 Then sayd ye Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeere olde, and hast thou seene Abraham?
Wayahudi wakamwambia,”Haujafikisha umri wa miaka hamsini bado, nawe umemuona Ibrahimu?”
58 Iesus sayd vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.
Yesu akawaambia, “Amini, amini, nawaambia, kabla Abrahamu hajazaliwa, MIMI NIKO.”
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.
Ndipo waliokota mawe wapate kumpiga, lakini Yesu alijificha na akatoka nje ya hekalu.
