John 7
1 And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for He did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him,
Sima na yango, Yesu atambolaki na mokili ya Galile, aboyaki kovanda na Yuda, pamba te Bayuda bazalaki koluka koboma Ye.
2 and the celebration of the Jews was near—that of Shelters—
Nzokande, feti ya Bandako ya kapo, feti ya Bayuda, ekomaki pene.
3 His brothers, therefore, said to Him, “Depart from here, and go away to Judea, that Your disciples may also behold Your works that You do;
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 no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be in public; if you do these things—reveal Yourself 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 not even His brothers were believing in Him.
Pamba te, ezala bandeko ya Yesu, bango mpe bazalaki kondima Ye te.
6 Jesus, therefore, says to them, “My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Tango na Ngai ekoki nanu te; kasi mpo na bino, tango nyonso ezali malamu.
7 the world is not able to hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.
Mokili ekoki koyina bino te; kasi Ngai, ezali koyina Ngai mpo ete natatolaka ete misala na yango ezali mabe.
8 You—go up to this celebration; I do not yet go up to this celebration, because My time has not yet been fulfilled”;
Bino, bokende na feti wana; kasi Ngai, nakokende te, pamba te tango na Ngai ekoki nanu te.
9 and saying these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
Sima na Ye koloba na bango bongo, atikalaki na Galile.
10 And when His brothers went up, then also He Himself went up to the celebration, not openly, but as in secret;
Nzokande, tango bandeko na Ye bakendeki na feti, Ye mpe akendeki kuna, na komilakisa te, kasi na nkuku.
11 the Jews, therefore, were seeking Him in the celebration, and said, “Where is that One?”
Wana bazalaki kati na feti, Bayuda bazalaki koluka Ye mpe bazalaki kotuna-tuna: « Azali wapi? »
12 And there was much murmuring about Him among the multitudes, some indeed said, “He is good”; and others said, “No, but He leads the multitude astray”;
Kati na bato, tembe ekomaki makasi na tina na Ye. Bamoko bazalaki koloba: Azali moto malamu; bamosusu: « Te, azali kokosa bato nyonso. »
13 no one, however, was speaking freely about Him, through 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 And it being now the middle of the celebration, Jesus went up to the temple, and He was teaching,
Tango mikolo ya feti ekomaki na kati-kati, Yesu akendeki na Tempelo mpe akomaki koteya.
15 and the Jews were wondering, saying, “How has this One known letters—having not learned?”
Bayuda bakamwaki mpe bazalaki kotunana: — Ndenge nini moto oyo ayekola te akoki koyeba Makomi boye?
16 Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me;
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Makambo oyo nazali koteya ewuti epai na Ngai te, kasi ewuti epai na Ye oyo atindi Ngai.
17 if anyone may will to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or—[if] I speak from 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 who is speaking from himself seeks his own glory, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not 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 has not Moses given you the Law? And none of you does the Law; why do you seek 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 multitude answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?”
Bato kati na ngulupa bazongiselaki Yesu: — Ozali na molimo mabe. Nani azali koluka koboma yo?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all wonder,
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Mpo na likamwisi moko oyo nasalaki, yango wana bino nyonso bokamwe!
22 because of this, Moses has given you the circumcision—not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers—and on a Sabbath you 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 receives circumcision on a Sabbath that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with Me that I made a man all whole on a Sabbath?
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 Do not judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.”
Bosambisaka lisusu te kolanda oyo miso na bino ezali komona, kasi bokataka makambo na bosembo.
25 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
Na bongo, ndambo ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi bakomaki komituna: « Azali te moto oyo bazali koluka koboma?
26 And behold, He speaks freely, and they say nothing to Him; did the rulers truly know that this is the 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 But this One—we have known where He is from; and the Christ, when He comes, no one knows where He is from.”
Kasi biso, toyebi epai moto oyo awuti; nzokande tango Klisto akoya, moto moko te akoyeba soki azali moto ya engumba nini! »
28 Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, “You have both known Me, and you have known from where I am; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you have not known;
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 and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
Ngai, nayebi Ye, pamba te nawuti epai na Ye, mpe ezali Ye nde atindi Ngai.
30 They were seeking, therefore, to seize Him, and no one laid the hand on Him, because His hour had 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 out of the multitude believed in Him and said, “The Christ—when He may come—will He do more signs than these that this One did?”
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 the multitude murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may 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 Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Yet a short time I am with you, and I go away to Him who sent Me;
Yesu alobaki: — Nazali nanu elongo na bino mpo na mwa tango moke, bongo nakozonga epai ya Ye oyo atindaki Ngai.
34 you will seek Me, and you will not find; and where I am, you are not able to come.”
Bokoluka Ngai, kasi bokomona Ngai te; mpe epai Ngai nakozala, bino, bokoki te koya kuna.
35 The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, “To where is this One about to go that we will not find Him? Is He about to go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks?
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 is this word that He said, You will seek Me, and you will not find? And, Where I am, you are not able to come?”
Alingi penza koloba nini tango azali koloba: « Bokoluka Ngai, kasi bokomona Ngai te; mpe epai Ngai nakozala, bino, bokoki te koya kuna? »
37 And in the last, the great day of the celebration, Jesus stood and cried, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to 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 who is believing in Me, according as the Writing said, Rivers of living water will flow out of his belly”;
Moto oyo akondima Ngai, kolanda ndenge Makomi elobi, bibale ya mayi ya bomoi ekotiola wuta kati na ye.
39 and this He said of the Spirit, which those believing in Him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because 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, therefore, out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, “This is truly 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”; and others said, “Why, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
bamosusu: « Azali Klisto, » kasi bamosusu lisusu: « Boni, Klisto akoki kobimela na Galile?
42 Did the Writing not say that out of the seed of David, and from Beth-Lehem—the village where David was—the Christ comes?”
Boni, Makomi ezali koloba te ete Klisto akobimela na libota ya Davidi mpe akobotama na Beteleemi, mboka ya Davidi? »
43 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of Him.
Ezali bongo nde bato bakabwanaki na tina na Yesu.
44 And certain of them were willing to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him;
Bamosusu kati na bango balukaki kokanga Ye, kasi moto ata moko te alongaki.
45 the officers came, therefore, to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why did you not bring 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 so spoke man—as this Man.”
Bakengeli bazongisaki: — Ezali na moto ata moko te oyo asila koloba makambo oyo moto wana azali koloba.
47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, “Have you also been led astray?
Bafarizeo batunaki lisusu: — Bino mpe bomitiki penza mpo ete akosa bino?
48 Did anyone out of the rulers believe in Him? Or out of the Pharisees?
Boni, kati na bakonzi to kati na Bafarizeo, ezali ata na moko oyo andimi ye?
49 But this multitude, that is not knowing the Law, is accursed.”
Ezali kaka bato oyo bayebi mibeko ya Moyize te, bazali penza bato balakelama mabe!
50 Nicodemus says to them—he who came by night to Him—being one of them,
Kasi moko kati na bango, Nikodemi, oyo, mokolo moko, akendeki epai ya Yesu, alobaki:
51 “Does our law judge the Man, if it may not hear from Him first, and know what He does?”
— 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 to him, “Are you also out of Galilee? Search and see that a prophet has not risen out of Galilee”; [[
Bazongiselaki ye: — Boni, yo mpe ozali moto ya Galile? Kundola malamu Makomi, mpe okomona penza ete mosakoli moko te abimela na Galile. [
53 and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the Mount of Olives.
Na bongo, moko na moko azongaki na ndako na ye.
