John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Sima na yango, Yesu atambolaki na mokili ya Galile, aboyaki kovanda na Yuda, pamba te Bayuda bazalaki koluka koboma Ye.
2 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
Nzokande, feti ya Bandako ya kapo, feti ya Bayuda, ekomaki pene.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
Bandeko ya Yesu balobaki na Ye: — Longwa awa na Galile mpe kende na Yuda, mpo ete bayekoli na Yo bamona kuna bikamwa oyo ozali kosala.
4 For [there is] no man [that] doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
Moto moko te asalaka na nkuku soki alingi koyebana. Lokola ozali kosala makambo minene koleka, sala ete moto nyonso kati na mokili ayeba soki ozali nani.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
Pamba te, ezala bandeko ya Yesu, bango mpe bazalaki kondima Ye te.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Tango na Ngai ekoki nanu te; kasi mpo na bino, tango nyonso ezali malamu.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
Mokili ekoki koyina bino te; kasi Ngai, ezali koyina Ngai mpo ete natatolaka ete misala na yango ezali mabe.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
Bino, bokende na feti wana; kasi Ngai, nakokende te, pamba te tango na Ngai ekoki nanu te.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode [still] in Galilee.
Sima na Ye koloba na bango bongo, atikalaki na Galile.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
Nzokande, tango bandeko na Ye bakendeki na feti, Ye mpe akendeki kuna, na komilakisa te, kasi na nkuku.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
Wana bazalaki kati na feti, Bayuda bazalaki koluka Ye mpe bazalaki kotuna-tuna: « Azali wapi? »
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
Kati na bato, tembe ekomaki makasi na tina na Ye. Bamoko bazalaki koloba: Azali moto malamu; bamosusu: « Te, azali kokosa bato nyonso. »
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Kasi, lokola bango nyonso bazalaki kobanga Bayuda, moto ata moko te akokaki koloba na bonsomi nyonso na tina na Yesu.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
Tango mikolo ya feti ekomaki na kati-kati, Yesu akendeki na Tempelo mpe akomaki koteya.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
Bayuda bakamwaki mpe bazalaki kotunana: — Ndenge nini moto oyo ayekola te akoki koyeba Makomi boye?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Makambo oyo nazali koteya ewuti epai na Ngai te, kasi ewuti epai na Ye oyo atindi Ngai.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself.
Moto nyonso oyo azwi mokano ya kosala makambo oyo Nzambe alingaka, akososola soki mateya na Ngai ewuti na Nzambe to nazali koloba na ndenge na Ngai moko.
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Moto oyo alobaka na kombo na ye moko alukaka lokumu na ye moko; kaka oyo azali koluka lokumu ya Nzambe oyo atindaki Ye nde azali koloba solo, mpe mabe ezali te kati na Ye.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
Boni, Moyize apesaki bino mibeko te? Nzokande moko te kati na bino atosaka yango! Bongo mpo na nini bozali koluka koboma Ngai?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
Bato kati na ngulupa bazongiselaki Yesu: — Ozali na molimo mabe. Nani azali koluka koboma yo?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Mpo na likamwisi moko oyo nasalaki, yango wana bino nyonso bokamwe!
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
Bokanisa nanu: Moyize apesaki bino mitindo ya kokatisa ngenga, —mobeko yango ewutaki kutu na Moyize te, kasi na bakoko— mpe botosaka mitindo yango ata na mokolo ya Saba.
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
Bongo soki bokataka bato ngenga na mokolo ya Saba, mpe yango ebukaka mobeko ya Moyize te, mpo na nini bozali kosilikela Ngai mpo ete nabikisi moto na mokolo ya Saba?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Bosambisaka lisusu te kolanda oyo miso na bino ezali komona, kasi bokataka makambo na bosembo.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
Na bongo, ndambo ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi bakomaki komituna: « Azali te moto oyo bazali koluka koboma?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
Tala, azali koloba na bonsomi nyonso, mpe bazali koloba na ye eloko moko te mpo na kotelemela ye! Boni, bokanisi ete bakonzi na biso bayebi ete azali penza Klisto?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
Kasi biso, toyebi epai moto oyo awuti; nzokande tango Klisto akoya, moto moko te akoyeba soki azali moto ya engumba nini! »
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
Kaka na tango yango, wana Yesu azalaki koteya kati na Tempelo, alobaki na mongongo makasi: — Solo, boyebi Ngai mpe boyebi epai nawuti! Nzokande, nayei na ndenge na Ngai moko te; ezali Ye oyo azali penza ya solo nde atindi Ngai, mpe bino, boyebi Ye te.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
Ngai, nayebi Ye, pamba te nawuti epai na Ye, mpe ezali Ye nde atindi Ngai.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
Na bongo, balukaki kokanga Yesu, kasi moto ata moko te alongaki; pamba te tango na Ye ekokaki nanu te.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this [man] hath done?
Boye kati na bato, mingi bandimaki Ye; bazalaki koloba: — Boni, tango Klisto akoya, akosala bikamwa mingi koleka oyo moto oyo ozali kosala?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
Bafarizeo bayokaki makambo oyo bato bazalaki koloba na se se na tina na Yesu. Bongo bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo batindaki bakengeli ya Tempelo mpo na kokanga Yesu.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and [then] I go unto him that sent me.
Yesu alobaki: — Nazali nanu elongo na bino mpo na mwa tango moke, bongo nakozonga epai ya Ye oyo atindaki Ngai.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come.
Bokoluka Ngai, kasi bokomona Ngai te; mpe epai Ngai nakozala, bino, bokoki te koya kuna.
35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
Bayuda balobanaki bango na bango: — Asengeli kokende wapi mpo ete tomona ye lisusu te? Akokende epai ya Bayuda oyo bapalangana kati na Bagreki mpe koteya Bagreki?
36 What [manner of] saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come?
Alingi penza koloba nini tango azali koloba: « Bokoluka Ngai, kasi bokomona Ngai te; mpe epai Ngai nakozala, bino, bokoki te koya kuna? »
37 In the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Na mokolo ya suka ya feti, mokolo oyo eleki monene, Yesu atelemaki mpe alobaki na mongongo makasi: — Tika ete moto nyonso oyo azali na posa ya mayi aya epai na Ngai mpe amela.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Moto oyo akondima Ngai, kolanda ndenge Makomi elobi, bibale ya mayi ya bomoi ekotiola wuta kati na ye.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet [given]; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Yesu alobaki bongo na tina na Molimo oyo bato oyo bakotia kondima na bango kati na Ye bakozwa; mpo ete na tango wana, Molimo apesamaki nanu te, pamba te Yesu akotaki nanu te kati na nkembo na Ye.
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
Kati na bato oyo bayokaki maloba na Ye, bamoko bazalaki koloba: « Moto oyo azali penza Mosakoli, »
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
bamosusu: « Azali Klisto, » kasi bamosusu lisusu: « Boni, Klisto akoki kobimela na Galile?
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
Boni, Makomi ezali koloba te ete Klisto akobimela na libota ya Davidi mpe akobotama na Beteleemi, mboka ya Davidi? »
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
Ezali bongo nde bato bakabwanaki na tina na Yesu.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
Bamosusu kati na bango balukaki kokanga Ye, kasi moto ata moko te alongaki.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
Bakengeli ya Tempelo bazongaki epai ya bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo. Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo batunaki bakengeli: — Mpo na nini bomemi Yesu awa te?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
Bakengeli bazongisaki: — Ezali na moto ata moko te oyo asila koloba makambo oyo moto wana azali koloba.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
Bafarizeo batunaki lisusu: — Bino mpe bomitiki penza mpo ete akosa bino?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
Boni, kati na bakonzi to kati na Bafarizeo, ezali ata na moko oyo andimi ye?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
Ezali kaka bato oyo bayebi mibeko ya Moyize te, bazali penza bato balakelama mabe!
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them, )
Kasi moko kati na bango, Nikodemi, oyo, mokolo moko, akendeki epai ya Yesu, alobaki:
51 Doth our law judge [any] man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
— Boni, mibeko na biso ekoki kokatela moto etumbu na kozanga koyoka ye liboso, mpe na kozanga koyeba mabe oyo asili kosala?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
Bazongiselaki ye: — Boni, yo mpe ozali moto ya Galile? Kundola malamu Makomi, mpe okomona penza ete mosakoli moko te abimela na Galile. [
53 And every man went unto his own house.
Na bongo, moko na moko azongaki na ndako na ye.
