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,
Eyi akyi no Yesu kyinkyinii wɔ Galilea. Wampɛ sɛ obekyinkyin wɔ Yudea, efisɛ na Yudafo mpanyin no rehwehwɛ no akum no.
2 and the celebration of the Jews was near—that of Shelters—
Bere a Yudafo Asese Afahyɛ no reyɛ adu no,
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;
Yesu nuanom ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wufi ha san kɔ Yudea sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na wʼakyidifo behu nsɛnkyerɛnne a woyɛe no.
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”;
Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ogye din a ɔmmfa ne nneyɛe nsie. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔma nnipa nyinaa hu ne nneyɛe.”
5 for not even His brothers were believing in Him.
Na nʼankasa ne nuanom mpo nnye no nni.
6 Jesus, therefore, says to them, “My time is not yet present, 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 concerning 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 this celebration; I do not yet go up to this celebration, because My time has not yet been fulfilled”;
Mo de, munni kan nkɔ afahyɛ no na me de, minnya nkɔɔ ɛ, efisɛ me bere nnuu ɛ.”
9 and saying these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ wɔn akyi no ɔtenaa Galilea.
10 And when His brothers went up, then also He Himself went up to the celebration, not openly, but as in secret;
Yesu nuanom kɔɔ akyi no na ɔno nso kɔɔ afahyɛ no ase bi a wanna ne ho adi wɔ hɔ.
11 the Jews, therefore, were seeking Him in the celebration, and said, “Where is that One?”
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 about Him among the multitudes, some indeed said, “He is good”; and others said, “No, but He leads the multitude astray”;
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, however, was speaking freely about Him, through fear of the Jews.
Yudafo mpanyin no ho hu nti obiara antumi anyi nʼanim anka ne ho asɛm wɔ bagua mu.
14 And it being now the middle of the celebration, Jesus went up to the temple, and He was teaching,
Afahyɛ no duu ne mpɔmpɔnso no, Yesu kɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔkyerɛkyerɛe.
15 and the Jews were wondering, saying, “How has this One known letters—having not learned?”
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 Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me;
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Nea merekyerɛ no mfi mʼankasa, na mmom efi Onyankopɔn a ɔsomaa me no.
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.
Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn apɛde a obehu sɛ me nkyerɛkyerɛ no fi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn anaa efi mʼankasa.
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;
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 has not Moses given you the Law? And none 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 The multitude answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?”
Nnipa no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Gyama honhommɔne bi hyɛ wo so? Hena na ɔrehwehwɛ wo akum wo?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all wonder,
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Anwonwade baako pɛ a mayɛ nti na mo ho adwiriw mo sɛɛ yi.
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;
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 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?
Sɛ mutwa twetia homeda na moanto Mose mmara a, adɛn nti na sɛ mesa obi yare homeda a, mo bo fuw me?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.”
Mummmu atɛn kwa. Monhwɛ biribiara a muhu no yiye ansa na moabu ho atɛn.”
25 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking 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 freely, and they say nothing to Him; did the rulers truly know that this 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 this One—we have known where He is from; and the Christ, when He comes, no one knows where He is from.”
Yenim sɛ Agyenkwa no nya ba a, obiara rentumi nkyerɛ faako a ofi bae nanso saa onipa yi de, yenim faako a ofi.”
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;
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 and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
na me de, minim no, efisɛ mifi ne nkyɛn na mebae na ɔno na ɔsomaa me.”
30 They were seeking, therefore, to seize Him, and no one laid the 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 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?”
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 multitude murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take 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 Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Yet a short time I am with you, and I go away to Him who 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 you will not find; and where I am, you are not able to come.”
Mobɛhwehwɛ me nanso morenhu me, efisɛ faako a merekɔ no morentumi nkɔ hɔ.”
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?
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 that He said, You will seek Me, and you will not find? 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 in the last, the great day of the celebration, Jesus stood and cried, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me 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 he who is believing in Me, according as the Writing said, Rivers of living water will flow out of his belly”;
Na Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, ‘Obiara a ogye me di no, nsu a ɛma nkwa bɛsen afi ne mu.’”
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 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 Many, therefore, out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, “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 said, “This is the Christ”; and others said, “Why, does the 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 the Writing not say that out of the seed of David, and from Beth-Lehem—the village where David was—the Christ comes?”
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 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of Him.
Yesu nti nnipa no mu kyekyɛe.
44 And certain of them were willing to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him;
Ebinom pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere no nanso obiara amfa ne nsa anka no.
45 the officers came, therefore, 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 answered, “Never so spoke man—as this Man.”
Asomfo no buae se, “Nsɛm a onipa no ka no, ɛyɛ nwonwa na yɛntee bi da.”
47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, “Have you also been led astray?
Farisifo no san bisaa asomfo no se, “Mo nso wadaadaa mo ana?
48 Did anyone out of the rulers believe in Him? Or out of the Pharisees?
Moahu sɛ mpanyimfo anaa Farisifo no bi agye no adi ana?
49 But this multitude, that is not knowing the Law, is accursed.”
Dabi, ɛremma sa, na mmom ɛyɛ wɔn a wonnim mmara no na wɔadome wɔn no na wobegye no adi.”
50 Nicodemus says to them—he who came by night to Him—being one of 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 “Does our law judge the Man, if it may not hear from Him first, 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 answered and said to him, “Are you also out of Galilee? Search and see that a prophet has not risen 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.”
53 and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the Mount of Olives.
Afei obiara fii hɔ kɔe a wɔantumi ansi gyinae biara.
