John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked about in Galilee: for He was not willing to walk about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.
Eyi akyi no Yesu kyinkyinii wɔ Galilea. Wampɛ sɛ obekyinkyin wɔ Yudea, efisɛ na Yudafo mpanyin no rehwehwɛ no akum no.
2 And the feast of the Jews, tabernacles, was nigh.
Bere a Yudafo Asese Afahyɛ no reyɛ adu no,
3 Then His brothers said to Him; Depart hence, and go into Judea; in order that thy disciples shall see thy works which thou art doing. For no one does anything in secret, and Himself seeks to be public.
Yesu nuanom ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wufi ha san kɔ Yudea sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na wʼakyidifo behu nsɛnkyerɛnne a woyɛe no.
4 If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ogye din a ɔmmfa ne nneyɛe nsie. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔma nnipa nyinaa hu ne nneyɛe.”
5 For His brothers were not believing on Him.
Na nʼankasa ne nuanom mpo nnye no nni.
6 Jesus says to them, My time is not yet; but your time is always ready.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me bere nnuu ɛ, na mo de bere biara ye ma mo.
7 The world is not able to hate you; but it hates me, because I testify against it, that its works are evil.
Mo de, nnipa tan mo a ɛnyɛ ye, nanso me de wɔtan me a ɛyɛ ye, efisɛ daa meka bɔne a wɔyɛ no kyerɛ wɔn.
8 You go up to the feast: I do not go to this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled.
Mo de, munni kan nkɔ afahyɛ no na me de, minnya nkɔɔ ɛ, efisɛ me bere nnuu ɛ.”
9 Saying these things He remained in Galilee.
Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ wɔn akyi no ɔtenaa Galilea.
10 And when His brothers went up to the feast, then Himself also went up, not openly, but in secret.
Yesu nuanom kɔɔ akyi no na ɔno nso kɔɔ afahyɛ no ase bi a wanna ne ho adi wɔ hɔ.
11 Then the Jews were seeking Him at the feast, and saying, Where is He?
Yudafo mpanyin no hwehwɛɛ no wɔ afahyɛ no ase na wɔanhu no no, wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Onipa a yɛrehwehwɛ no no wɔ he?”
12 And there was much murmuring in the crowd concerning Him: some indeed were saying, That He is good; others were saying, No, but He deceives the multitude.
Nnipa no kaa ne ho nsɛm huhuhuhu efisɛ na wosuro Yudafo mpanyin no. Ebinom se, “Ɔyɛ onipa pa.” Na afoforo nso se, “Ɔyɛ ɔdaadaafo.”
13 No one indeed was speaking openly concerning Him on account of the fear of the Jews.
Yudafo mpanyin no ho hu nti obiara antumi anyi nʼanim anka ne ho asɛm wɔ bagua mu.
14 But the feast already being midway, Jesus came up into the temple, and was teaching.
Afahyɛ no duu ne mpɔmpɔnso no, Yesu kɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔkyerɛkyerɛe.
15 Then the Jews marveled, saying; How does this one know letters, never having been taught?
Bere a Yudafo mpanyin no tee Yesu nkyerɛkyerɛ no, ɛyɛɛ wɔn nwonwa na wobisae se, “Onipa yi nsuaa nhoma da, na ɛyɛɛ dɛn na otumi kyerɛkyerɛ sɛɛ yi?”
16 Then Jesus responded to them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but of Him that sent me;
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Nea merekyerɛ no mfi mʼankasa, na mmom efi Onyankopɔn a ɔsomaa me no.
17 if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak for myself.
Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn apɛde a obehu sɛ me nkyerɛkyerɛ no fi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn anaa efi mʼankasa.
18 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: he that seeketh the glory of Him that sent Him, the same is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
Obiara a ɔde nʼadwene kasa no pɛ anuonyam ma ne ho, na obiara a ɔpɛ anuonyam ma nea ɔsomaa no no yɛ ɔnokwafo a nnaadaa biara nni ne mu.
19 Did not Moses give you the law? and no one of you does the law. Why do you seek to kill me?
Mose amma mo mmara no ana? Nanso mo mu biara nni saa mmara no so! Adɛn nti na mopɛ sɛ mukum me?”
20 And the multitude responded, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?
Nnipa no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Gyama honhommɔne bi hyɛ wo so? Hena na ɔrehwehwɛ wo akum wo?”
21 Jesus responded and said to them, I did one work, and you were all astonished.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Anwonwade baako pɛ a mayɛ nti na mo ho adwiriw mo sɛɛ yi.
22 Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
Mose maa mo twetiatwa (mpo ɛnyɛ sɛ Mose na ɔhyɛɛ ho mmara na ɛyɛ mo nenanom) nanso, mutwa twetia homeda.
23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you mad at me, because I made a man entirely whole on the Sabbath?
Sɛ mutwa twetia homeda na moanto Mose mmara a, adɛn nti na sɛ mesa obi yare homeda a, mo bo fuw me?
24 Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.
Mummmu atɛn kwa. Monhwɛ biribiara a muhu no yiye ansa na moabu ho atɛn.”
25 Then certain ones of Jerusalemites were saying, Is not this He whom they wished to kill?
Nnipa a na wɔwɔ Yerusalem no mu bi bisae se, “Ɛnyɛ saa onipa yi ne nea wɔpɛ sɛ wokum no no ana?
26 And behold He speaks publicly, and they say nothing to Him. Whether do the rulers truly know that He is the Christ?
Ɔno na ɔrekasa wɔ bagua mu a obiara nka hwee nkyerɛ no yi! Gyama afei de mpanyimfo no agye no ato mu sɛ ɔne Agyenkwa no?
27 But we know Him whence He is: but when Christ may come, no one knows whence He is.
Yenim sɛ Agyenkwa no nya ba a, obiara rentumi nkyerɛ faako a ofi bae nanso saa onipa yi de, yenim faako a ofi.”
28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, You indeed know me, and know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but the one sending me is true, whom you do not know.
Yesu gu so rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu no, ɔkaa no dennen se, “Ɛwɔ mu sɛ munim me na munim faako nso a mifi bae, nanso ɛnyɛ me ara me pɛ na mede bae, na nea ɔsomaa me no yɛ ɔnokwafo, nanso munnim no;
29 I know Him, because I am with Him, and He sent me.
na me de, minim no, efisɛ mifi ne nkyɛn na mebae na ɔno na ɔsomaa me.”
30 Then they were seeking to arrest Him: and no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
Nʼano sii no, wɔpɛe sɛ anka wɔkyere no nanso obiara antumi amfa ne nsa anka no, efisɛ na ne bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkyere no no nnui ɛ.
31 And many from the multitude believed on Him; and continued to say, When Christ may come, will He do more miracles than this one is doing?
Nnipa no mu fa kɛse no ara gyee no dii na wobisae se, “Sɛ Agyenkwa no ba a obetumi ayɛ anwonwade bebree sen nea ɔbarima yi ayɛ no ana?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him; and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers, that they should arrest Him.
Farisifo no tee huhuhuhu no a nnipa no yɛ faa Yesu ho no, wɔne asɔfo mpanyin no somaa hyiadan awɛmfo bi se wɔnkɔkyere Yesu mmra.
33 Then Jesus said, Yet a little while I am with you, and I go to Him that sent me.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nnipakuw no se, “Nna kakraa bi na aka me a me ne mo bɛtena na masan akɔ nea ɔsomaa me no nkyɛn.
34 You will seek me, and will not find me: and where I am, you are not able to come.
Mobɛhwehwɛ me nanso morenhu me, efisɛ faako a merekɔ no morentumi nkɔ hɔ.”
35 Then the Jews said to themselves, Where is He about to go, that we shall not find Him? is He about to go into the Dispersion of the Greek, and teach the Greeks?
Bere a Yudafo mpanyin no tee asɛm a Yesu kae no, wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Ɛhefa na ose ɔrebɛkɔ a enti yɛrenhu no yi? Anaasɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔkɔ Helafo nkurow a Yudafo tete mu no mu akɔkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn?
36 What is this word which He said, You shall seek me, and not find me: and where I am, you are not able to come?
Sɛ ɔka se, ‘Mobɛhwehwɛ me, nanso morenhu me, efisɛ faako a merekɔ no morentumi nkɔ hɔ’ a, na ɔkyerɛ dɛn?”
37 And on the last great day of the feast, Jesus stood and continued to cry out, saying, If any one thirst, let him come and drink.
Afahyɛ no da a edi akyi a ɛyɛ da titiriw no, Yesu sɔre gyinaa hɔ kasaa dennen se, “Obiara a osukɔm de no no mmra me nkyɛn mmɛnom nsu.
38 The one believing on me, as the Scripture said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.
Na Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, ‘Obiara a ogye me di no, nsu a ɛma nkwa bɛsen afi ne mu.’”
39 And He spoke this concerning the Spirit, whom those believing on Him were about to receive: for the Spirit was not yet; because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Yesu kaa saa asɛm yi faa Honhom Kronkron a wɔn a wogyee no dii no nsa bɛka no ho. Saa bere no na onya mfaa Honhom Kronkron no mmaa wɔn ɛ, efisɛ na wonnya mmaa no so nkɔɔ ɔsoro nhyɛɛ no anuonyam ɛ.
40 Then those hearing these words from the multitude, were saying, This is truly the prophet;
Nnipa no tee asɛm a Yesu kae no, ebinom kae se, “Ampa ara onipa yi ne odiyifo no!”
41 others were saying, He is the Christ; others were saying, For whether does Christ come out of Galilee?
Afoforo nso kae se, “Ɔno ne Kristo no!” Ebinom nso bisae se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Kristo no befi Galilea?
42 Did not the Scripture say, that Christ comes from the seed of David and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was?
Kyerɛwsɛm no anka se saa Kristo no befi Dawid abusua mu na wɔbɛwo no wɔ Betlehem kurow a Dawid tenaa mu no mu ana?”
43 Then there was a schism in the crowd on account of Him:
Yesu nti nnipa no mu kyekyɛe.
44 and some of them wished to arrest Him; but no one laid hands on Him.
Ebinom pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere no nanso obiara amfa ne nsa anka no.
45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why did you not bring Him?
Asomfo no san kɔe no, asɔfo mpanyin ne Farisifo no bisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na moamfa no amma?”
46 The officers responded, Never did a man so speak, as this man speaks.
Asomfo no buae se, “Nsɛm a onipa no ka no, ɛyɛ nwonwa na yɛntee bi da.”
47 And the Pharisees responded to them; Are ye also deceived?
Farisifo no san bisaa asomfo no se, “Mo nso wadaadaa mo ana?
48 Whether has any one of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on Him?
Moahu sɛ mpanyimfo anaa Farisifo no bi agye no adi ana?
49 But this crowd knowing not the law are accursed.
Dabi, ɛremma sa, na mmom ɛyɛ wɔn a wonnim mmara no na wɔadome wɔn no na wobegye no adi.”
50 Nicodemus being one of them, says to them;
Saa bere no na Nikodemo a ɔyɛ Farisini a da bi owiaa ne ho kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn anadwo no nso wɔ hɔ bi.
51 Whether does our law judge a man, until it may first hear from him and know what he does?
Ɔno na obisae se, “Enti yɛn mmara ma ho kwan ma yebu obi fɔ wɔ bere a yɛntee nʼanom asɛm, nhuu nea wayɛ ana?”
52 They responded and said to him, Whither art thou also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet rises out of Galilee.
Wobuaa no se, “Wo nso wufi Galilea ana? Hwehwɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no mu yiye na wubehu sɛ odiyifo biara rentumi mfi Galilea da.”
Afei obiara fii hɔ kɔe a wɔantumi ansi gyinae biara.
