John 8
1 JESUS went unto the mount of Olives.
Jesu wakaya kuchilundu cha Oliva.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
Chifumofumo wakaya ku tempele lubo, eelyo bantu boonse bakasika; wakakkala aansi akubayiisya.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
Balembi bamulawu abaFalisi bakeeta mukayintu wakajatwa nkalookuchita bumambe. Bakamubika aakati.
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Mpawo bakati kulinguwe, “Muyiisi, ooyu mwanakaziwajatwa kalikuchita bumambe.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
Lino mumulawu, Mozesi wakatulayilila kuti bantu baliboobu tubatulule mabwe; iwe utyeni aatala anguwe?”
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
Bakaamba eezi kuchitila kuti bamupe mulandu anzizyo, pesi Jesu wakakotama walemba aansi amunwe wakwe.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Nibakiinkilila aanembo akumubuzya mibuzyo, wakanyampuka akubaambila kuti, “Ooyo utakwe chibi aakati kenu, ngabe mutanzi kutulula mwanakazi ooyu ibbwe.”
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
Wakakotama aansi lubo, akulemba aanyika amunwe wakwe.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
Nibakamvwa eezi bakeenda umwi awumwi, kutalika aamupati. Kumamanino Jesu wakasyaala aalike, nkali aamwanakazi ngubakabikide aakati.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
Jesu wakanyampuka akumwaambila kuti, “Yoo mwanakazi, mbali basikukupa mulandu? Takwe muntu wajana mulandu na mulinduwe?”
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Wakati, “Takwe, nikuba womwe Mwaami.” Jesu wakati, “Ambebo nsikupi mulandu. Koya alimwi utakabisyi limbi.”]
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Alimwi Jesu wakaambuula aabo nkati, “Ndili mumuni wanyika; ooyo unditobela takoyoyenda mumudima pesi uyooba aamumuni wabuumi.”
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
Ba Falisi bakati kulinguwe, “Ulipeda bukamboni nomwini, bukamboni bwako tabusinizizye pe.”
14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
Jesu wakabasandula akwaamba kuti kulimbabo, “Nekuba kuti ndipa bukamboni bwangu ndemwini, bukamboni bwangu bulisinizizye. Ndilikwizi nkundakazwa ankwenjobuya.
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
Mubeteka chanyama; Ime nsibeteki muntu pe.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
Nikuba kuti ndabeteka, kubeteka kwangu kulisinizizye nkaambo nsili aandike pe, pesi ndili aaTaata wakandituma.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
Iyii, alimwi mumulawu wenu kulilembedwe kuti bukamboni bwabantu babili bulisinizizye.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
Ndili ooyo uulungulula bukamboni aatala alwangu, eelyo Taata wakandituma upeda bukamboni aatala andime.”
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
Bakati kulinguwe, “Ulikuli wuso?” Jesu wakasandula, “Takwe ngomuzi imebo na Taata; kansinga mwalindiz, mwalikunomuziba Taata alakwe.”
20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
Aaya majwi wakaamba muchibambalilo nkali kuyiisya mutempele pesi takwe muntu wakamusunga nkaambo chiindi chakwe techakalinaakkwana pe.
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Aawo wakabaambila lubo kuti, “Ndiyobwiinka, muyondiyanduula eelyo muyofwa muzibi zyanu. Ooko nkweya, tamukonzyi kusika pe.”
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
Ba Juda bakati, “Mpo ulalijaya na? Nchenchicho na mpo nchati, 'Nkweya tamuyosika?”
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Muli baansi; Imebo ndiwakujulu. Muli banyika eeyi; Mebo nsili wenyika eeyi pe.
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Akaako ndakamwaambila kuti muyoofwa muzibi zyabo. Ado do mane musyome kuti NDIME, muyoofwa muzibi zyenu.”
25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
Bakati kulinguwe, ikuti kuliboobo, “Nduweni?” Jesu wakabaambila kuti, “Nzindamwaambila kuzwa kumatalikilo.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
Ndili aazintu zyiingi zyakwaamba azyakubeteka aatala andinywe. Nikubaboobo, ooyo wakandituma ulisinizizye; mpawo zintu nzyemvwa kuzwa kulinguwe, nzyezintu nzyewamba kunyika.”
27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
Tensi bakamvwisisisya pe kuti wakalikwaambula aatala aTaata.
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
Jesu wakati, “Aawo mwayoonyampula Mwana waMuntu, mpempawo mpomuyooziba kuti NDIME, akuti nsichiti chintu alwangu. Mbubo Taata mbwakandiyiisya me, mbubo bewamba zintu eezi.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Ooyo wakandituma uli aandime, mpawo tandisiide andiike pe, nkaambo ndichita zintu zimukonda chiindi choonse.
30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
Nkachaambula zintu eezi Jesu, bantu biingi bakasyoma mulinguwe.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Jesu wakati kuma Juda ibakali bamusyoma, “Na mwakkalilila mujwi lyangu, muyooba basikwiiya bangu basinizizye,
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
alimwi muyoziba kasimpe, eelyo kasimpe kayoomwaangununa.”
33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Bakamusandula, “Tulizyalane lya Abbulahamu mpawo tatunaaba bazike bamuntu pe; waambilaaaloi kuti, 'Muyowangununwa'?”
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Jesu wakabasandula, “Nchobeni, nchobeni, ndamwaambila kuti, ooyo woonse uchita chibi muzike wachibi.
Muzike takkalilili mun'anda kwalyoonse; mwana ulakkalilila chalyoonse. (aiōn g165)
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Akaako, na Mwana wakwaangununa, ulaangunuka cha nchobeni.
37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Ndilizizi kuti muli zyalane lya Abbulahamu; muyandula kundijaya nkaambo ijwi lyangu talikwe busena mulindinywe.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Ndiwamba nzindakabona kuli Taata, alimwi andinywe muchite nzimwakamvwa kuli wuso wanu.”
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Bakamusandula alimwi bakati kulinguwe, “Taata wesu ngu Abbulahamu.” Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Na mwali bana ba Abbulahamu, nimunga muchita milimu ya Abbulahamu.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Pesi, lino muyanduula kundijaya, muntu wamwaambila kasimpe nkendakamvwa kuli Leza. Abbulahamu takwe nakachita eechi.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Muchita milimu yawuso wenu.” Bakati kulinguwe, “Tetwakazyalilwa mubwamu pe; tuli aaTaata omwe: Leza.”
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Jesu wakabaambila wakati, “Kaansinga Leza ngu Wuso wenu, mwalikunondiyanda, nkaambo ndakazwa kuli Leza mpawo ndili aano; nkaambo nsilizidilide pe ndemwini, pesi wakandituma.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Nkaambonzi nimutamvwisisisyi majwi aangu? Kuli oobu nkaambo tamukonzyi kumvwa majwi aangu.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Muli bawuso wenu, dyabbulosi, alimwi mukanza kuchita ziyandisyo zyawuso. Wakali mujayi kuzwa kumatangunino mpawo tayiimvwi muchisinizyo nkaambo takwe kusinizya mulinguwe. Aawo nawamba zyakubeja, uwamba kazizwa mubube bwakwe mwini nkaambo mubeji alimwi ngowisi wabubeji.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Eelyo, nkaambo ndiwamba lusinizyo, tamundisyomi pe.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Ngwani aakati kenu uundipa mulandu wachibi? Kuti ndaamba lusinizyo, nkambooyi nimutandisyomi?
47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Muntu waLeza woonse ulaamvwa majwi aa Leza; tamwaamvwi nkaambo tamuli ba Leza.”
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Ba Juda bakamusandula alimwi bakati kulinguwe, “Nchoonzyo tatwaambi kuti uli mu Samaliya na akuti uli aadayimona?”
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
Jesu wakasandula, “Nsikwe dayimona pe, pesi ndilemya Taata wangu, alimwi inywe mulanduubawulusya.
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Nsilanguuli bulemu bwangu ndemwini; kuli uumwi uuyandula akubeteka.
Chobeni, nchobeni, ndamwaambila, na umwi wabamba ijwi lyangu, takoyoobona lufu.” (aiōn g165)
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. (aiōn g165)
Ma Juda bakati kulinguwe, “Lino twaziba kuti uli aadayimona. Abbulahamu abasinsimi bakafwa; pesi wamba kuti, 'Na umwi wabamba ijwi lyangu, takoyoolabila lufu.' (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
Toli mupati pe kwiinda taata Abbulahamu wakafwa, ulimupati na? Basinsimi abalabo bakafwa. Ulichita ani?”
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
Jesu wakasandula, “Kuti nkelipa bulemu ndemwini, bulemu bwangu mbwabuyo; ngu Taata undilemya - ooyo ngumuti ngu Leza wanu.
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
Tamunaamuziba pe, pesi ndilimwizi. Kuti ndati, 'Nsimwizi, ndilaba mbuli ndinyw, mubeji. Nikuba boobo, ndimwizi alimwi ndilabamba ijwi lyakwe.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Wuso wenu Abbulahamu wakabotelwa kubamba izuba lyangu; waklibona alimwi wakabotelwa.”
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
BamaJuda bakati kulinguwe, “Tonaakuba aaminyaka ili makkumi musanu pe, mpawo wakamubona Abbulahamu?”
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Nchobeni, nchobeni, ndamwaambila Abbulahamu nkatanaaba, NDIME.”
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Mpawo bakabweza mabwe kuti bamutulule, pesi Jesu wakayuba akuzwa aanze kwe tempele.
