John 8
1 And at dawn He came again to the temple [courts],
Asi Jesu wakaenda kugomo reMiorivhi.
2 and all the people were coming to Him, and having sat down, He was teaching them;
Zvino mangwanani-ngwanani wakauyazve kutembere, vanhu vese ndokuuya kwaari; iye ndokugara pasi akavadzidzisa.
3 and the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
Zvino vanyori neVaFarisi vakauya kwaari nemukadzi wakabatwa mukufeva, vakati vamumisa pakati,
4 they say to Him, “Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime [of] committing adultery,
vakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, mukadzi uyu wabatwa achifeva, pachiitiko chaipo;
5 and in the Law, Moses commanded us that such be stoned; You, therefore, what do You say?”
zvino Mozisi pamurairo wakatiraira kuti vakadaro vatakwe nemabwe; naizvozvo imwi munoti kudini?
6 And this they said, trying Him, that they might have to accuse Him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger He was writing on the ground,
Asi izvozvi vakareva vachimuedza, kuti vave nechavangamupomera. Asi Jesu wakakotamira pasi, akanyora pasi nemunwe, seasina kuvanzwa.
7 and when they continued asking Him, having bent Himself back, He said to them, “The sinless of you—let him cast the first stone at her”;
Zvino vakati vachiramba vachimubvunza, akatasamuka akati kwavari: Asina chivi pakati penyu, ngaatange kukanda ibwe kwaari.
8 and again having stooped down, He was writing on the ground,
Zvino akakotamirazve pasi, akanyora pasi.
9 and they having heard, and being convicted by the conscience, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders—to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
Zvino ivo vanzwa, vachipiwa mhosva nehana yavo, vakabuda umwe-umwe, kutanga kuvakuru kusvikira kune vekupedzisira; Jesu akasara ari ega, nemukadzi amire pakati.
10 And Jesus having bent Himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, “Woman, where are those—your accusers? Did no one pass sentence on you?”
Jesu wakati atasamuka, akasaona munhu asi mukadzi, akati kwaari: Mai, varipi vaya vapomeri vako? Hakuna wakupa mhosva here?
11 And she said, “No one, Lord”; and Jesus said to her, “Neither do I pass sentence on you; be going on, and sin no more.”]]
Iye ndokuti: Hakuna, Ishe. Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Neni handikupi mhosva. Enda, usachitadzazve.
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I AM the light of the world; he who is following Me will not walk in the darkness, but he will have the light of life.”
Naizvozvo Jesu wakataurazve kwavari, achiti: Ini ndiri chiedza chenyika; anonditevera haangatongofambi murima, asi achava nechiedza cheupenyu.
13 The Pharisees, therefore, said to Him, “You testify of Yourself, Your testimony is not true”;
Naizvozvo VaFarisi vakati kwaari: Iwe unopupura nezvako; uchapupu hwako hahuna chokwadi.
14 Jesus answered and said to them, “And if I testify of Myself—My testimony is true, because I have known from where I came, and to where I go, and you have not known from where I come, or to where I go.
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Kunyange ndichipupura nezvangu ini, uchapupu hwangu ndehwechokwadi; nokuti ndinoziva kwandakabva, uye kwandinoenda; asi imwi hamuzivi kwandakabva, uye kwandinoenda.
15 You judge according to the flesh; I do not judge anyone,
Imwi munotonga maererano nenyama; ini handitongi munhu.
16 and even if I do judge My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me;
Asi kunyange ini ndichitonga, kutonga kwangu ndekwechokwadi; nokuti handisi ndega, asi ini naBaba vakandituma.
17 and also in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true;
Uye mumurairo wenyu makanyorwa kuti uchapupu hwevanhu vaviri ndehwechokwadi.
18 I am [One] who is testifying of Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies of Me.”
Ndini ndinopupura nezvangu, naBaba vakandituma vanopupura nezvangu.
19 They said, therefore, to Him, “Where is Your father?” Jesus answered, “You have neither known Me nor My Father: if you had known Me, you had also known My Father.”
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Baba vako varipi? Jesu akapindura akati: Hamuzivi ini, kana Baba vangu. Dai maindiziva ini, mungadai maiziva Baba vanguwo.
20 Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come;
Jesu wakataura mashoko awa muchivigiro chezvipo, achidzidzisa mutembere; asi hakuna munhu wakamubata, nokuti awa rake rakange risati rasvika.
21 therefore Jesus said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sin; to where I go away, you are not able to come.”
Naizvozvo Jesu wakatizve kwavari: Ini ndinoenda, uye muchanditsvaka, mukafira muzvivi zvenyu; ini pandinoenda, imwi hamugoni kuuyapo.
22 The Jews, therefore, said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, To where I go away, you are not able to come?”
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakati: Achazviuraya kanhi? Nokuti anoti: Pandinoenda ini, imwi hamugoni kuuyapo?
23 And He said to them, “You are from beneath, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world;
Zvino akati kwavari: Imwi munobva pasi, ini ndinobva kumusoro; imwi munobva panyika ino, ini handibvi panyika ino.
24 I said, therefore, to you, that you will die in your sins, for if you may not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
Naizvozvo ndareva kwamuri kuti muchafira muzvivi zvenyu; nokuti kana musinganditendi kuti ndini iye, muchafira muzvivi zvenyu.
25 They said, therefore, to Him, “You—who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Even what I spoke of to you at the beginning;
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Ndiwe ani? Jesu ndokuti kwavari: Ndizvo zvandakuudzaiwo kubva pakutanga.
26 many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent Me is true, and I—what things I heard from Him—these I say to the world.”
Ndine zvinhu zvizhinji zvekutaura nekutonga pamusoro penyu; asi wakandituma ndewechokwadi, uye izvo zvandakanzwa ini kwaari ndizvo zvandinotaura kunyika.
27 They did not know that He spoke to them of the Father;
Havana kunzwisisa kuti anotaura kwavari zvaBaba.
28 Jesus, therefore, said to them, “When you may lift up the Son of Man then you will know that I AM; and I do nothing of Myself, but according as My Father taught Me, these things I speak;
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kwavari: Kana masimudza Mwanakomana wemunhu, ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini iye, uye handiiti chinhu pachangu, asi Baba vangu sezvavakandidzidzisa, ndinotaura zvinhu izvi.
29 and He who sent Me is with Me; the Father did not leave Me alone, because I always do the things pleasing to Him.”
Zvino iye wakandituma aneni; Baba havana kundisiya ndega, nokuti ini ndinoita nguva dzese zvinovafadza.
30 As He is speaking these things, many believed in Him;
Achiri kutaura izvi vazhinji vakatenda kwaari.
31 Jesus, therefore, said to the Jews who believed in Him, “If you may remain in My word, you are truly My disciples,
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kuVaJudha vakatenda kwaari: Kana imwi muchirambira mushoko rangu, muri vadzidzi vangu zvirokwazvo;
32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
uye muchaziva chokwadi, uye chokwadi chichakusunungurai.
33 They answered Him, “We are seed of Abraham; and we have been servants to no one at any time; how do You say—You will become free?”
Vakamupindura vakati: Tiri mbeu yaAbhurahama, uye hatina kutongova varanda vemunhu; iwe unoreva sei kuti: Muchava vakasunungurwa?
34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who is committing sin, is a servant of sin,
Jesu akavapindura akati: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Ani nani anoita chivi muranda wechivi.
35 and the servant does not remain in the house—throughout the age, the Son remains—throughout the age; (aiōn g165)
Uye muranda haagari mumba nekusingaperi; mwanakomana anogara nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
36 if then the Son may make you free, in reality you will be free.
Naizvozvo kana Mwanakomana achikusunungurai, muchava vakasununguka zvirokwazvo.
37 I have known that you are seed of Abraham, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you;
Ndinoziva kuti muri mbeu yaAbhurahama; asi munotsvaka kundiuraya, nokuti shoko rangu harina nzvimbo mamuri.
38 I speak that which I have seen with My Father, and you, therefore, do that which you have seen with your father.”
Ini ndinotaura izvo zvandakaona kuna Baba vangu; naizvozvo nemwi munoita izvo zvamakaona kuna baba venyu.
39 They answered and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham”; Jesus says to them, “If you were children of Abraham, the works of Abraham you were doing;
Vakapindura vakati kwaari: Baba vedu ndiAbhurahama. Jesu akati kwavari: Dai maiva vana vaAbhurahama, maiita mabasa aAbhurahama.
40 and now, you seek to kill Me—a Man who has spoken to you the truth I heard from God; Abraham did not do this;
Asi ikozvino munotsvaka kundiuraya, munhu wakakuudzai chokwadi, chandakanzwa kuna Mwari; izvo Abhurahama haana kuzviita.
41 you do the works of your father.” They said, therefore, to Him, “We have not been born of whoredom; we have one Father—God”;
Imwi munoita mabasa ababa venyu. Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Hatina kuberekwa neupombwe isu; tina Baba vamwe, Mwari.
42 Jesus then said to them, “If God were your father, you were loving Me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of Myself, but He sent Me;
Jesu akati kwavari: Dai Mwari aiva Baba venyu, maindida; nokuti ini ndakabuda ndichibva kuna Mwari; nokuti handina kuzviuyira, asi iye wakandituma.
43 why do you not know My speech? Because you are not able to hear My word.
Sei musinganzwisisi nhaurwa yangu? Nokuti hamugoni kunzwa shoko rangu.
44 You are of a father—the Devil, and the desires of your father you will to do; he was a manslayer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, he speaks of his own, because he is a liar—also his father.
Imwi muri vababa venyu dhiabhorosi, munoda kuita zvishuvo zvababa venyu. Iye wakange ari mhondi kubva pakutanga, asingagari muchokwadi, nokuti maari hamuna chokwadi. Kana achitaura nhema, anotaura pachake; nokuti mutauri wenhema uye baba vadzo.
45 And because I say the truth, you do not believe Me.
Asi nokuti ini ndinoreva chokwadi, hamunditendi.
46 Who of you convicts Me of sin? And if I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
Ndiani kwamuri angandipomera pamusoro pechivi? Uye kana ndichireva chokwadi, imwi munoregerei kunditenda?
47 He who is of God, he hears the sayings of God; because of this you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
Uyo anobva kuna Mwari anonzwa mashoko aMwari; naizvozvo imwi hamunzwi, nokuti hamubvi kuna Mwari.
48 The Jews, therefore, answered and said to Him, “Do we not say well, that You are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakapindura vakati kwaari: Isu hatina kureva kwazvo here kuti iwe uri muSamaria, uye une dhimoni?
49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me;
Jesu akapindura, akati: Ini handina dhimoni, asi ndinokudza Baba vangu; asi imwi munondizvidza.
50 and I do not seek My own glory; there is [One] who is seeking and is judging;
Asi ini handitsvaki rumbidzo yangu; ariko anotsvaka nekutonga.
51 truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may keep My word, he may not see death—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Kana munhu akachengeta shoko rangu, haangatongooni rufu nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “Now we have known that You have a demon; Abraham died, and the prophets, and You say, If anyone may keep My word, he will not taste of death—throughout the age! (aiōn g165)
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakati kwaari: Ikozvino toziva kuti une dhimoni; Abhurahama wakafa, nevaporofita, asi iwe unoti: Kana munhu akachengeta shoko rangu, haangatongoraviri rufu nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died; whom do You make Yourself?”
Iwe uri mukuru kuna baba vedu Abhurahama, vakafa? Nevaporofita vakafa; iwe unozviita ani?
54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who is glorifying Me, of whom you say that He is your God;
Jesu akapindura akati: Kana ini ndichizvikudza, rukudzo rwangu harwusi chinhu; ndiBaba vangu vanondikudza, avo imwi vamunoti ndiMwari wenyu.
55 and you have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I will be like you—speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and I keep His word;
Uye hamuna kuvaziva; asi ini ndinovaziva, uye kana ndikati handivazivi, ndichava murevi wenhema semwi; asi ndinovaziva, ndinochengeta shoko ravo.
56 your father Abraham was glad that he might see My day; and he saw, and rejoiced.”
Baba venyu Abhurahama vakafara kuona zuva rangu, uye vakariona vakapembera.
57 The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakati kwaari: Hausati wava nemakore makumi mashanu, zvino wakaona Abhurahama here?
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham’s coming—I AM”;
Jesu akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Abhurahama asati avapo, ini ndiripo.
59 they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at Him, but Jesus hid Himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Ipapo vakanonga mabwe kuti vaposhere kwaari; asi Jesu wakazvivanza, akabuda mutembere, achigura nepakati pavo; akapfuura saizvozvo.
