John 8
1 And at dawn He came again to the temple [courts],
Yesu wuyenda ku mongo minti mi Olive.
2 and all the people were coming to Him, and having sat down, He was teaching them;
Vayi mu nsuka-nsuka, Yesu wuvutuka ku Nzo Nzambi. Batu boso bayizaku va kaba; wuvuanda ayi wuba longa.
3 and the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having 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 to Him, “Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime [of] committing adultery,
bankamba: —Nlongi, nketo wawu bambuila mu thangu kaba vanga kitsuza.
5 and in the Law, Moses commanded us that such be stoned; You, therefore, what do You say?”
Mu Mina, Moyize wututuma ti tufueti vonda baketo ba phila yayi mu matadi. Vayi ngeyo, mbi wuntuba e?
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,
Banyuvudila kiuvu kioki mu diambu di bamfiela muingi babaka bila kioki bafueti kumfundila. Vayi Yesu wuyinama, wusonika mu nlemvo va tsi.
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”;
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 having stooped down, He was writing on the ground,
Buesidi yinama, wusonika va tsi.
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.
Bu bawa bobo, baboso batona tina wumosi wumosi; tonina kuidi banuna. Yesu wusiala niandi veka va kimosi ayi nketo va ntualꞌandi.
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?”
Buna Yesu wuvumbuka ayi wunkamba: —A nketo, mimfundi miaku kuevi midi e? Kadi mutu kasi kubedisa ko e?
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.”]]
Nketo wumvutudila: —A tata, kadi mutu. Buna Yesu wukamba: —Minu mamvama ndikadi kubedisa, Yenda kuaku vayi kadi buelavola masumu.]
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.”
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 to Him, “You testify of Yourself, Your testimony is not true”;
Buna Bafalisi bankamba: —Ngeyo veka wulembo kiteliminanga kimbangi, kimbangi kiaku kisi ki kiedika ko!
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.
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 You judge according to the flesh; I do not judge anyone,
Beno mu kimutu lueta sambisila. Vayi minu ndikadi sambisa kadi mutu wumosi.
16 and even if I do judge My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me;
Enati minu ndilembo sambisa, buna tsambusuluꞌama yidi yi kiedika; bila ndisi ko minu veka vayi Tata wuthumba widi yama.
17 and also in your law it has been written 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] who is testifying of Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies of Me.”
Minu veka ndilembo kitelimina kimbangi ayi Tata wuthuma wulembo thelimina diaka kimbangi.
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.”
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 Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized Him, because His hour had 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 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.”
Yesu wubuela ku bakamba: —Minu ndieka nkuenda, muaki luela kuthomba ayi luela fuila mu masumu meno. Ku ndinkuenda beno lulendi kuiza kuawu ko.
22 The Jews, therefore, said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, To where I go away, you are not able to 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 to them, “You are from beneath, I am from above; you 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, to you, that you will die in your sins, for if you may not believe that I AM, you will 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 They said, therefore, to Him, “You—who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Even what I spoke of to you at the beginning;
Buna banyuvula: —Ngeyo widi nani e? Yesu wuba vutudila: —Wowo ndieti ku lukambanga mu zithangu zioso.
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.”
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 did not know that He spoke to them of the Father;
Vayi basia sudika ko ti Yesu wuyolukila bobo mu diambu di Tata.
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;
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 who sent Me is with Me; the Father did not leave Me alone, because I always do the things pleasing to 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 is speaking these things, many believed in Him;
Bu katuba mambu momo, batu bawombo banwilukila.
31 Jesus, therefore, said to the Jews who believed in Him, “If you may remain in My word, you are truly My disciples,
Yesu wukamba Bayuda bobo banwilukila ti: —Enati beno lunkangananga mu mambu mama buna luidi minlonguki miama mu kiedika,
32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
luela zaba kiedika ayi kiedika kiela kulukula.
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?”
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, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who is committing sin, is a servant of sin,
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti: Woso mutu wumvanganga masumu, buna niandi mvika wu masumu.
35 and the servant does not remain in the house—throughout the age, the Son remains—throughout the age; (aiōn g165)
Mvika kasi muisi dikanda ko vayi muana, mu zithangu zioso, widi muisi dikanda. (aiōn g165)
36 if then the Son may make you free, in reality you will be free.
Diawu enati Muana wulukudidi, buna lukululu mu kiedika.
37 I have known that you are seed of Abraham, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has 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 you, therefore, do that which you 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 to Him, “Our father is Abraham”; Jesus says to them, “If you were children of Abraham, the works of Abraham you were doing;
Bankamba: —Abalahami niandi sieto! Yesu wuba vutudila: —Enati luidi bana ba Abalahami, nganu lulembo vangi mavanga ma Abalahami.
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;
Vayi buabu beno lulembo tombi kuphondisa, minu, mutu ndilukembi kiedika kioki ndiwa kuidi Nzambi. Abalahami kasia bu vanga ko.
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”;
Beno lulembo vangi mavanga ma sieno. Bawu bamvutudila: —Beto tuisi bana ba kindumba ko. Vayi Nzambi niandi khatika Sieto.
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;
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 you not know My speech? Because you are not able to hear My word.
Bila mbi lunkambu sudikila mambu ndilembo lukambi e? Bila lulendi ko wa mambu mama.
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.
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 say the truth, you do not believe Me.
Vayi minu bu ndilembo tubi kiedika, beno lukadi kunguilukila.
46 Who of you convicts Me of sin? And if I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
Nani mu beno wulenda kukhamba disumu diodi ndivanga e? Buna bila mbi lukadi kunguilukila enati ndilembo lukambi kiedika e?
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.”
Woso mutu Nzambi kavuidi wunwanga mambu ma Nzambi. Beno Nzambi kasi luvua ko, diawu ka luwilanga ko.
48 The Jews, therefore, answered and said to Him, “Do we not say well, that You are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
Bayuda bamvutudila: —Mueni ti bukiedika kuandi tulembo kambanga ti ngeyo widi muisi Samaliayi Pheve yimbimbi yidi yaku.
49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me;
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Nana, minu ndisiꞌama Pheve yimbimbi ko. Vayi Dise diama ndieta kinzikavayi beno lulembo kundenzi.
50 and I do not seek My own glory; there is [One] who is seeking and is judging;
Minu nditombanga nkemboꞌama ko. Vayi vadi mutu wuntombanga wawu ayi weta sambisa.
51 truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may keep My word, he may not see death—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
Bukiedika ndikulukamba: woso mutu wunlundanga mambu mama, kalendi fua ko. (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)
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 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died; whom do You make Yourself?”
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 glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who is glorifying Me, of whom you 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 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;
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 was glad that he might see My day; and he saw, and rejoiced.”
Dise dieno Abalahami wumona khini bu kayindula ti wulenda mona lumbu kiama; wumona kiawu ayi wumona khini yiwombo.
57 The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
Bayuda bankamba: —Ngeyo kudukisidi ko makumatanu ma mimvu, vayi buabu wulembo tubi ti wumona Abalahami!
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham’s coming—I AM”;
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti tuamina Abalahami kabutuka, buna minu ndidi.
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.
Bu katuba mambu momo, batota matadi muingi banzuba vayi Yesu wusuama ayi wutotuka mu nzo Nzambi.
