John 8
1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
Yesu wuyenda ku mongo minti mi Olive.
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.
Vayi mu nsuka-nsuka, Yesu wuvutuka ku Nzo Nzambi. Batu boso bayizaku va kaba; wuvuanda ayi wuba longa.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
Minlongi mi mina ayi Bafalisi bannatina nketo wumosi babuila mu kitsuza; bantula va ntuala wu batu boso;
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
bankamba: —Nlongi, nketo wawu bambuila mu thangu kaba vanga kitsuza.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
Mu Mina, Moyize wututuma ti tufueti vonda baketo ba phila yayi mu matadi. Vayi ngeyo, mbi wuntuba e?
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].
Banyuvudila kiuvu kioki mu diambu di bamfiela muingi babaka bila kioki bafueti kumfundila. Vayi Yesu wuyinama, wusonika mu nlemvo va tsi.
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.
Bu bantantisa mu kunyuvula; buna niandi wuvumbuka ayi wuba kamba: —Woso mutu mu beno zebi ti kasi disumu ko, kaba mutu wutheti mu kunzuba ditadi.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
Buesidi yinama, wusonika va tsi.
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.
Bu bawa bobo, baboso batona tina wumosi wumosi; tonina kuidi banuna. Yesu wusiala niandi veka va kimosi ayi nketo va ntualꞌandi.
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?
Buna Yesu wuvumbuka ayi wunkamba: —A nketo, mimfundi miaku kuevi midi e? Kadi mutu kasi kubedisa ko e?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Nketo wumvutudila: —A tata, kadi mutu. Buna Yesu wukamba: —Minu mamvama ndikadi kubedisa, Yenda kuaku vayi kadi buelavola masumu.]
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.
Yesu wubuela kuba kamba diaka: —Minu ndidi kiezila ki nza. Woso mutu wukundandakana kalendi diatila mu tombi ko, vayi wela baka kiezila ki luzingu.
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
Buna Bafalisi bankamba: —Ngeyo veka wulembo kiteliminanga kimbangi, kimbangi kiaku kisi ki kiedika ko!
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.
Vayi Yesu wuba vutudila: —Kimbangi kiama kidi ki kiedika, ka diambu ko minu veka ndilembo kitelimina kimbangi. Bila minu nzebi kuevi ndiba ayi nzebi kuevi ndinkuenda. Vayi beno luisi zaba ko kueve ndiba ayi kuevi ndinkuenda.
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
Beno mu kimutu lueta sambisila. Vayi minu ndikadi sambisa kadi mutu wumosi.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
Enati minu ndilembo sambisa, buna tsambusuluꞌama yidi yi kiedika; bila ndisi ko minu veka vayi Tata wuthumba widi yama.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
Madi Masonama mu Mina mieno ti: kimbangi ki batu buadi kidi ki kiedika.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
Minu veka ndilembo kitelimina kimbangi ayi Tata wuthuma wulembo thelimina diaka kimbangi.
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.
Banyuvula: —Kuevi kuidi Dise diaku e? Yesu wuba vutudila: —Beno luisi kunzaba ko ayi luisi zaba ko Dise diama! Enati lunzebi, nganu luzebi Dise diama.
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.
Yesu wutubila mambu momo bu kaba longa mu Nzo Nzambi, wutelama va ndambu buangu bantambikilanga makaba. Kadi mutu kasia nunga ko mu kumbuila, bila thanguꞌandi yifueni ko.
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.
Yesu wubuela ku bakamba: —Minu ndieka nkuenda, muaki luela kuthomba ayi luela fuila mu masumu meno. Ku ndinkuenda beno lulendi kuiza kuawu ko.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
Buna Bayuda bayuvasana: —Buna wela kukivonda e? Mananga diawu kalembo tubilanga ti: “Ku ndinkuenda beno lulendi kuiza kuawu ko e?”
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.
Yesu wuba kamba: —Beno luidi basi nza vayi minu ndidi muisi diyilu. Beno luidi basi nza yayi, vayi minu ndisi ko muisi nza yayi.
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.
Diawu ndilukambidi ti “beno luela fuila mu masumu meno”, bila enati lukadi wilukila ti “Minu ndidi”, buna luela fuila mu masumu meno.
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.
Buna banyuvula: —Ngeyo widi nani e? Yesu wuba vutudila: —Wowo ndieti ku lukambanga mu zithangu zioso.
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.
Mawombo madi yama mu tuba mu diambu dieno ayi ma kulusambisila; vayi mutu wowo wuthuma widi wu kiedika ayi mambu momo ndiwa kuidi niandi mawu ndieta kamba kuidi basi nza.
27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
Vayi basia sudika ko ti Yesu wuyolukila bobo mu diambu di Tata.
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.
Buna Yesu wuba kamba: —Bu luela nangika Muana-Mutu, buna bosi luela zaba ti “Minu ndidi” ayi buna luela zaba ti ndivanganga ko kadi diambu dimosi mu minu veka vayi ndilembo tubi mambu momo mandonga Tata.
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.
Mutu wowo wuthuma widi yama; kasia kumbika minu veka ko, bila minu ndieta vanga mu zithangu zioso mambu momo meta kummonisa khini.
30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
Bu katuba mambu momo, batu bawombo banwilukila.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;
Yesu wukamba Bayuda bobo banwilukila ti: —Enati beno lunkangananga mu mambu mama buna luidi minlonguki miama mu kiedika,
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
luela zaba kiedika ayi kiedika kiela kulukula.
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?
Bamvutudila: —Beto tuidi mu nkuna Abalahami ayi kadi khumbu tusia beto bavika ba mutu ko! Buna buevi wuntubila ti: “Luela ba batu ba kiphuanza e?”
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti: Woso mutu wumvanganga masumu, buna niandi mvika wu masumu.
Mvika kasi muisi dikanda ko vayi muana, mu zithangu zioso, widi muisi dikanda. (aiōn g165)
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Diawu enati Muana wulukudidi, buna lukululu mu kiedika.
37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Nyinga, nzebi ti luidi mu nkuna Abalahami, vayi lutidi kuphonda bila mambu mama masi ko buangu mu beno.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Ndilembo lukambi mambu momo minu ndimona bu ndiba kuidi Siama vayi beno lulembo vangi mambu momo luwa kuidi Sieno.
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.
Bankamba: —Abalahami niandi sieto! Yesu wuba vutudila: —Enati luidi bana ba Abalahami, nganu lulembo vangi mavanga ma Abalahami.
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.
Vayi buabu beno lulembo tombi kuphondisa, minu, mutu ndilukembi kiedika kioki ndiwa kuidi Nzambi. Abalahami kasia bu vanga ko.
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.
Beno lulembo vangi mavanga ma sieno. Bawu bamvutudila: —Beto tuisi bana ba kindumba ko. Vayi Nzambi niandi khatika Sieto.
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.
Yesu wuba kamba: —Enati Nzambi niandi Sieno nganu lueta kunzola, bila mu Nzambi nditotukila; ayi buabu ndidi vava. Ndisia kuizila ko mu luzolo luama vekavayi niandi wuthuma.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word.
Bila mbi lunkambu sudikila mambu ndilembo lukambi e? Bila lulendi ko wa mambu mama.
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.
Beno Satana niandi dise dieno ayi lutidi vanga zinzinunu zi dise dieno. Niandi mvondi tona vana thonono ayi kasia zingila ko mu kiedika, bila mu niandi muisi ko kadi kiedika. Mu thangu keta vuna, buna mu ntimꞌandi mueta ba luvunu bila niandi nkua luvunu ayi dise di luvunu.
45 And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
Vayi minu bu ndilembo tubi kiedika, beno lukadi kunguilukila.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Nani mu beno wulenda kukhamba disumu diodi ndivanga e? Buna bila mbi lukadi kunguilukila enati ndilembo lukambi kiedika e?
47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
Woso mutu Nzambi kavuidi wunwanga mambu ma Nzambi. Beno Nzambi kasi luvua ko, diawu ka luwilanga ko.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Bayuda bamvutudila: —Mueni ti bukiedika kuandi tulembo kambanga ti ngeyo widi muisi Samaliayi Pheve yimbimbi yidi yaku.
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Nana, minu ndisiꞌama Pheve yimbimbi ko. Vayi Dise diama ndieta kinzikavayi beno lulembo kundenzi.
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Minu nditombanga nkemboꞌama ko. Vayi vadi mutu wuntombanga wawu ayi weta sambisa.
Bukiedika ndikulukamba: woso mutu wunlundanga mambu mama, kalendi fua ko. (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)
Buna byuda bamvutudila: —Buabu tuzebi ti Pheve yi mbimbi yidi yaku! Bila Abalahami ayi mimbikudi bamana fua, vayi ngeyo wunkamba ti woso mutu wunlunda mambu maku kalendi fua ko! (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
Buna ngeyo wumbanza ti ngeyo lutidi mu bunneni. Dise dieto Abalahami, diodi difua voti mimbikudi miomi mimana fua e? Buevi wulembo kibanzila e?
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:
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Enati minu ndilembo kikembisa minu veka, buna nkemboꞌama widi wuphamba. Vayi Dise diama, diodi lulembo tedila Nzambi eno niandi wulembo khembisa.
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.
Muaki beno luisi kunzaba ko vayi minu ndinzebi. Enati thubidi ti ndisi kunzaba ko, buna ndieka nkua luvunu banga beno. Bayi minu ndinzebi ayi ndieta lunda mambu mandi.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
Dise dieno Abalahami wumona khini bu kayindula ti wulenda mona lumbu kiama; wumona kiawu ayi wumona khini yiwombo.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Bayuda bankamba: —Ngeyo kudukisidi ko makumatanu ma mimvu, vayi buabu wulembo tubi ti wumona Abalahami!
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti tuamina Abalahami kabutuka, buna minu ndidi.
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.
Bu katuba mambu momo, batota matadi muingi banzuba vayi Yesu wusuama ayi wutotuka mu nzo Nzambi.
