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,
Momo bu mavioka, Yesu wudiengila mu Ngalili, kasia zola vuanda mu Yuda ko, bila Byuda batomba ku mvonda.
2 and the celebration of the Jews was near—that of Shelters—
Nyengo wu Bayuda, nyengo wu zinzo zi kapu, wuba nduka.
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;
Buna bakhomba bandi zinkamba: —Katuka vava, yenda ku Yuda muingi minlonguki miaku mimona mavanga momo wulembo vangi.
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”;
Bila kuisi ko mutu wumvanganga diambu mu kinsueki ayi tidi zabakana kuidi batu. Bu wulembo vangi mambu mama, wukimonisa ngeyo veka kuidi batu ba nza.
5 for not even His brothers were believing in Him.
Bila bakhomba bandi mamvawu zisia kunwilukila ko.
6 Jesus, therefore, says to them, “My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Thanguꞌama yifueni ko vayi beno thangu eno yidi yimbote mu zithangu zioso.
7 the world is not able to hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.
Nza yilendi ku lulenda ko. Vayi minu yifueti kaka kundenda bu ndieti kuyitelimina kimbangi ti mavanga mandi madi mambimbi.
8 You—go up to this celebration; I do not yet go up to this celebration, because My time has not yet been fulfilled”;
Diawu beno yendanu kueno ku nyengo beni. Minu ndisi nkuenda ko ku nyengo beni bila thangu ama yifueni ko.
9 and saying these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
Yesu wuvuanda ku Ngalili bu kamana kuba kamba mambu momo.
10 And when His brothers went up, then also He Himself went up to the celebration, not openly, but as in secret;
Bakhomba bandi bu bayenda ku nyengo, niandi mamvandi wuyenda mu kinsueki, mu kambu kukimonisa kuidi batu.
11 the Jews, therefore, were seeking Him in the celebration, and said, “Where is that One?”
Bayuda bantomba ku nyengo bu batuba: —Kuevi kuidi mutu wowo e?
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”;
Maniunguta mawombo mabua mu diambu diandi va khatitsika nkangu wu batu. Batu bankaka batuba ti: —Mutu wowo widi mutu wumboti. Vayi batu bankaka batuba ti: —Nana, batu kalembo vukumuna.
13 no one, however, was speaking freely about Him, through fear of the Jews.
Vayi kadi mutu kasia baka kibakala ko mu ku nzonzila va meso ma batu, mu diambu di boma baba mona Bayuda.
14 And it being now the middle of the celebration, Jesus went up to the temple, and He was teaching,
Nyengo buna weka va khatitsika, Yesu wukota mu Nzo Nzambi ayi wulonga.
15 and the Jews were wondering, saying, “How has this One known letters—having not learned?”
Bayuda basimina buwombo ayi batuba: Buevi mutu wawu kazabidi masonuku bu didi ti niandi kasia longa ko e?
16 Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me;
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Malongi mama masi mama veka ko vayi malongi ma mutu wowo wuthuma.
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.
Woso tidi kuandi vanga luzolo lu Nzambi buna buedika wela zaba ti malongi ma ndieta longa kuidi Nzambi maba voti mu luzolo luama veka ndieta yolukila.
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;
Mutu wunlonganga mu luzolo luandi veka, wuntombanga wandi nkembo. Vayi mutu wowo wuntombanga nkembo wu mutu wowo wuntuma, buna niandi mutu wukiedika ayi kuisi ko diambu di luvunu mu niandi.
19 has not Moses given you the Law? And none of you does the Law; why do you seek to kill Me?”
Moyize kasia kuluvana mina ko e? Vayi kadi mutu mu beno kakinzikanga Mina ko. Buna bila mbi luntomba kuphondila e?
20 The multitude answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?”
Nkangu wuvutula: —Pheve yi mbimbi yidi yaku! Nani tidi kuvonda e?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all wonder,
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Kumu kimosi ndivengi, vayi beno babo lulembo simina.
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;
Moyize wuluvana muina wu zenganga nitu yi kibakala, (wusia ba muinꞌandi ko vayi wuba wu bakulu). Vayi beno lueti zenganga nitu yi kibakala mu lumbu ki 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?
Enati bakala zengusulu nitu yi kibakala mu lumbu ki saba mu diambu di bika bundula muina wu Moyize, buna bila mbi beno lufueti kumfuemina bu ndibelusa mbevo mu lumbu ki saba e?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.”
Diawu bikanu sambisa batu mu thalu yi zizi vayi lusambisa mu tsambusulu yi songa.
25 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
Basi Yelusalemi bankaka batuba: —Niandi ko mutu wowo batidi vonda e?
26 And behold, He speaks freely, and they say nothing to Him; did the rulers truly know that this is the Christ?
Vayi tala buabu wulembo longi mu kiphuanza vayi bakadi kunkanga kadi diambu dimosi. Mananga bapfumu zimueni ti bukiedika kuandi niandi Klisto e?
27 But this One—we have known where He is from; and the Christ, when He comes, no one knows where He is from.”
Vayi tuzebi mutu wowo ayi tunzebi kuevi kaba vayi Klisto bu kela kuiza, kadi mutu kasi zaba ko kuevi kela ba!
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;
Muna nzo Nzambi, Yesu wuyamikina, bu kaba longa: —Bukiedika luzebi minu ndidi nani ayi kuevi ndiba! Ndisia kuizila mu luzolo luama veka ko vayi mutu wowo wuthuma niandi wukiedika; beno luisi kunzaba ko.
29 and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
Minu ndinzebi, bila kuidi niandi ndiba ayi niandi wuthuma.
30 They were seeking, therefore, to seize Him, and no one laid the hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come,
Bazola kumbuila. Vayi kadi mutu kasia nunga ko mu kumbuila, bila thangu andi buna yifueni ko.
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?”
Batu bawombo mu bobo baba mu nkangu banwilukila ayi batuba: —Klisto bu kela kuiza, wela vanga bikumu biwombo viokila biobi bilembu vangi mutu wawu e?
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;
Bafalisi bawa nkangu wu batu wuniunguta mambu momo mu diambu diandi. Diawu Bafalisi va kimosi ayi bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi batumaminsungi mi Nzo Nzambi muingi mienda kangi Yesu.
33 Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Yet a short time I am with you, and I go away to Him who sent Me;
Vayi Yesu wukamba: —Ndikidi yeno diaka vava mu thangu yikhufi, bosi ndiela vutuka kuidi mutu wuthuma.
34 you will seek Me, and you will not find; and where I am, you are not able to come.”
Buna luela kuthomba vayi lulendi kumbona ko. Koko ndiela ba, beno lulendi kuiza kuna ko.
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 bakambasana bawu na bawu: —Buna kuevi mutu wawu kela kuenda koko tulendi kummonina ko e? Mananga tidi kuenda kuidi batu bobo bamuangana mu zitsi zi Bangeleki ayi tidi kuenda longi Bangeleki e?
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?”
Buna buevi buididi tsundu yi mambu momo katubidi ti: “Luela kuthomba, vayi lulendi kumbona ko ayi koko ndiela ba beno lulendi kuiza kuna ko e?”
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;
Mu lumbu kitsuka ki nyengo, kiawu lumbu kinneni ki nyengo, Yesu wutelama vana ayi wuyamikina: —Enati mutu phuila kadi buna bika kiza kuidi minu ayi kanua.
38 he who is believing in Me, according as the Writing said, Rivers of living water will flow out of his belly”;
Banga bu dikisonimina: woso wukunguilukila, minlangu miwombo mi luzingu miela kumba mu niandi.
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.
Wutubila bobo mu diambu di Pheve Yinlongo yela tambula batu babo bela kunwilukila. Mu thangu yina batu batambudi ko Pheve bila buna Yesu katambudi ko nkembo.
40 Many, therefore, out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, “This is truly the Prophet”;
Batu bawombo mu nkangu bu bawa mambu momo, batuba: —Kiedika mutu wawu mbikudi.
41 others said, “This is the Christ”; and others said, “Why, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Vayi bankaka ti: —Niandi Klisto. Bankaka ti: —Buna Klisto wulenda kuandi totukila mu Ngalili e?
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?”
Tala, masonoko matubanga ko ti Klisto kafueti totukila mu nkuna Dividi ayi kafueti butukila ku Betelemi, buala bu Davidi e?
43 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of Him.
—Nkangu wu batu wuvasuka mu diambu diandi.
44 And certain of them were willing to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him;
Bankaka bazola kumbuila vayi kadi mutu kasia ku mbuidikisa ko.
45 the officers came, therefore, to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?”
Minsungi mi Nzo Nzambi mivutuka kuidi bapfumu zinganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi; bawu baba yuvula: —Bila mbi luisi kuntuadila ko e?
46 The officers answered, “Never so spoke man—as this Man.”
Minsungi mivutula: —Kuisi ko mutu wumatuama yolukila banga buyolukidi mutu wowo!
47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, “Have you also been led astray?
Bafalisi baba yuvula: —Buna beno mamveno luvunukini e?
48 Did anyone out of the rulers believe in Him? Or out of the Pharisees?
Vadi mutu wumosi mu bapfumu voti mu Bafalisi wuwilukidi mutu wowo e?
49 But this multitude, that is not knowing the Law, is accursed.”
Vayi nkangu wu batu bobo bakambulu zaba Mina, widi wusingu!
50 Nicodemus says to them—he who came by night to Him—being one of them,
Buna mutu wumosi mu bawu, Nikodemi, mutu wowo wuyenda kuidi Yesu va builu, wuba kamba:
51 “Does our law judge the Man, if it may not hear from Him first, and know what He does?”
—A buevi, Mina mieto mieti zengila mutu nkanu mu kambu teka wa mutu beni ayi mu kambu teka zaba mambu mbi kavengi e?
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”; [[
Bamvutudila: —Ayi ngeyo mamvaku widi muisi Ngalili e? Tanga mu Mina ayi yindula masonoko, buna ma wumona ti mbikudi kalendi totukila mu Ngalili ko. [
53 and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the Mount of Olives.
Buna kadika mutu wuvutuka ku nzoꞌandi.
