John 7
1 After these things Jesus continued to travel about in Galilee, for he did not wish to go about in Judea, because the Jews kept trying to kill him.
Pegamaliki genago, Yesu agendayi ku Galilaya kwenuko. Aganili lepi kugenda pamulima wa Yudea ndava Vachilongosi va Vayawudi vaganayi kumkoma.
2 When the time of the Jewish feast of Tabernacles drew near,
Lukumbi lwa mselebuko wa Vayawudi wewukemelewa vindanda wavi papipi.
3 his brothers said to him. "Leave here and go into Judea, so that your disciples also may behold the works which you are doing.
Hinu, valongo vaki vakamjovela mwene, “Uwuka penapa na uhambayi ku Yudea muni vevakulanda vagawonayi mahengu gaku geukugahenga.
4 "For no one ever does anything in secret if he himself seeks to be known publicly. If you are performing these signs, show yourself openly to the world."
Kawaka mundu mweihenga mambu cha mfiyu kuni mwene igana kumanyikana kwa vandu. Ndava wikita mambu ago, hinu jilangilasa kwa vandu va mulima woha.”
5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
Hati valongo vaki mewawa vamsadika lepi.
6 "My time is not yet come," said Jesus, "but your time is always at hand.
Yesu akavajovela, “Lukumbi lwangu lwabwina lwakona kuhika, nambu kwa nyenye lukumbi lwoha lwabwina.
7 "The world cannot hate you, but me it does hate, because I am bearing testimony against it, that its ways are wicked.
Vandu va mulima nakuhotola kuvahakalila nyenye, nambu ukunihakalila nene ndava nene nijova kuvya matendu gaki gahakau.
8 Do you go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fully come."
Nyenye mhamba kumselebuko. Nambu nene nakuhamba kumselebuko wenuwo, muni lukumbi lwangu lwabwina lwakona kuhika.”
9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee; but after his brothers had gone up to feast,
Peamalili kujova genago, mwene akasigalila ku Galilaya.
10 then he went too - not openly, but as it were a secret.
Valongo vaki pevahambili kumselebuko wa vindanda, Yesu namwene akahamba, nambu lepi hotohoto ndi chamfiyu.
11 The Jews meanwhile kept looking for him at feast, and saying, "Where is he?" "I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.
Vachilongosi va Vayawudi vamlondayi Yesu kumselebuko wenuwo, vakakota “Avi koki?”
12 and there was much disputing about him among the crowd. Some would say, "He is a good man." Others. "No! he is misleading the people." "While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
Pamsambi wa vandu kwavi na vandu vamahele vevajovai chinunu. Vangi pagati yavi vakajova, “Mundu mbwina.” Vangi vakajova, “Mwe! Akuvayaganisa vandu.”
13 No one, however, was speaking openly about him, for fear of the Jews. "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.
Nambu avi lepi mundu mweahotwili kujova malovi ga Yesu hotohoto, ndava ya kuvayogopa Vachilongosi va Vayawudi.
14 But when it was already the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. "I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Peyahikili pagati ya mselebuko, Yesu akahamba mu Nyumba ya Chapanga na kutumbula kuwula.
15 The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One.
Hinu, Vachilongosi va Vayawudi vakakangasa na kujova, “Mundu uyu agamanyili wuli goha aga changali mwene kuwuliwa na mundu?”
16 In reply Jesus said to them; "My teaching is not mine, but is his who sent me. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Penapo Yesu akavayangula, “Mawuliwu genikugawula aga ganamwene lepi, nambu gaki yula mweanitumili.
17 "If any one wills to do God’s will he shall know concerning my teaching, whether it is from God, or I speak my own authority. "Dedicate them in thy truth; thy word is truth.
Mundu mweigana kuhenga gala geigana Chapanga, yati imanya ngati mawuliwu gangu gahumili kwa Chapanga amala nijova namwene.
18 "The man who speaks on his own authority is always seeking his own glory. But one who is eager for the glory of Him who sent him, he is true, and therefore is nothing false about him.
Mweijova ga mwene ndu, mwenuyu ilonda ukulu waki mwene, nambu yula mweilonda ukulu wa mweamtumili, ndi chakaka na mugati yaki kawaka uhakau.
19 "Did not Moses give you the Law? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you seeking to kill me?"
Wu, Musa avapelili lepi Malagizu? Nambu kawaka hati mmonga mweiyidakila Malagizu. Ndava kyani mulonda kunikoma?”
20 The crowd answered. "You have a demon! Who is trying kill you?"
Bahapo msambi wa vandu ukayangula, “Una mizuka veve! Yani mweigana kukukoma?”
21 Jesus answered them. "There was one thing I did, and you are all amazed.
Yesu akavayangula, “Nikitili ulangisu umonga na nyenye uvakangisi.
22 "Consider, therefore, Moses has given you circumcision - not that Moses originated it, but the fathers - and you are accustomed to circumcise a child even on the Sabbath.
Musa avapeli malagizu ga kudumula jandu ndi wahumili lepi kwa Musa muni wahumili kwa vagogo. Hinu nyenye mukumdumula mundu jandu hati Ligono la Kupumulila.
23 "If a child receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the Law of Moses may not be broken, how can you be angry with me because I made a man sound and well on the Sabbath?
Yakavya mundu idumuliwa jandu Ligono la Kupumulila, ndi muni malagizu ga Musa ukoto kudenywa, hinu ndava kyani mukuniyomela ndava ya kumlamisa mundu mu Ligono la Kupumulila?
24 "Do not judge according to appearance. Judge justly."
Mkotoka kumuhamula mundu kwa kumlola chakuvala ndu, nambu muhamula cheyiganikiwa.”
25 Then some of the men of Jerusalem were saying. "Is not this the man they are seeking to kill?
Vandu vangi va pa Yelusalemu vajovili, “Wu, mundu mwenuyu lepi yula vachilongosi vilonda kumkoma?
26 "And look! he is speaking boldly and they are saying nothing to him. Can it possibly be that the rulers have really discovered that he is the Christ?
Mlola, ilongela hotohoto kawaka mundu mweakumjovela hati lilovi! Wu yihotoleka vachilongosi vamanyili chakaka, mwenuyu ndi Kilisitu?
27 "But we know this man and where he is from; but when the Christ comes no one will know where he comes from."
Nambu Kilisitu peibwela avi lepi mundu yati imanya ihumila koki. Nambu tete tikumanyi kwe ahumili mundu uyu!”
28 So Jesus cried aloud as he was teaching in the Temple, and said. "You both know me and you know where I am from; and I am not come on my own authority, but he who sent me is trustworthy, and him you do not know.
Hinu, Yesu peavili mukuwula Munyumba ya Chapanga akajova kwa lwami, “Mwe! Mnimanyili, hati kwe nihumili mukukumanya? Nene nibweli lepi kwa uhotola wangu. Muni mwene mweanitumili nene ndi wa chakaka, na nyenye nakummanya,
29 "But I now him, because I am from him and he sent me."
nambu nene nimmanyili ndava nihumili kwaki, mwene ndi mweanitumili.”
30 Then they kept seeking to arrest him, but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
Hinu, vandu vakalonda kumkamula, nambu kawaka mundu mweatalambwili chiwoko kumpamisa ndava lukumbi lwaki lwavi lwakona kuhika.
31 But many of the crowd believed on him and began to say, "The Christ, when he comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"
Vandu vamahele mu msambi wula vamsadiki, vakajova, “Peibwela Kilisitu Msangula, yati ihenga milangisu ya kukangasa yamahele neju kuliku yeihenga mundu uyu?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the high priest and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Vafalisayu vevayuwini vandu vijova ga pahi ndava ya Yesu. Hinu, vene pamonga na Vamteta vakulu va Chapanga vavatumili valonda va nyumba ya Chapanga vamkamulayi.
33 Then Jesus said to them. "Still for a little longer I am with you, and then I am going my way to him who sent me.
Yesu akajova, “Nakona nivii pamonga na nyenye palukumbi luhupi, kangi nihamba kwa mwene mweanitumili.
34 "You will search for me and will not find me, and where I am you cannot come."
Yati mukunilonda nambu nakuniwona, na penivya nene, nyenye nakuhotola kuhika.”
35 Then the Jews said to one another. "Where does this fellow intend to go, so that we shall not find him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and to teach the Greeks, is he?
Vachilongosi va Vayawudi vakajovesana vene kwa vene, “Mundu mwenuyu yati ihamba koki kwe nakuhotola kumkamula? Yati ihamba kumiji ya Vagiliki, kwevahamalili vandu vitu na kuvawula Vagiliki?
36 "What does he mean saying, ‘You shall seek me and you shall not find me,’ and ‘Where I am you cannot come’?"
Mwenuyu ijova kyani peijova, yati mukunilonda nambu nakuniwona na pala penivya nene nyenye nakuhotola kuhika?”
37 Now the last day, that the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried in a loud voice.
Ligono la kumalakisa mselebuko wenuwo ndi lavi ligono likulu, Yesu akayima na kujova kwa lwami mundu mweavi na njota ndi abwela kwanene anywayi.
38 "If any man thirst let him come to me and drink. From the heart of him who believes in me will flow, as the Scripture said, rivers of living water."
Ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, mweakunisadika nene, mifuleni ya manji yeyileta wumi yati yihelela mumtima waki.
39 Now he said this concerning the Spirit whom those who believed in him should receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
Ajovili genago kumvala Mpungu Msopi kuvya vevakumsadika vala yati vakumpokela. Lukumbi lwenulo Mpungu Msopi avi akona kuhika, ndava Yesu avi akona kupewa ukulu na Chapanga.
40 Some of the crowd who had been listening to these discourses began to say, "Without a doubt this man is a Prophet."
Vandu vangi mu msambi wula pevayuwini malovi ago, vakajova, “Chakaka mundu uyu ndi yula mlota wa Chapanga!”
41 Other said, "He is the Christ." But others were saying. "Surely the Christ is not to come out of Galilee, is he?
Vangi vakajova, “mwenuyu ndi Kilisitu.” Nambu vangi vakajova, “Wu, yihotoleka Kilisitu kuhuma ku Galilaya?
42 "Does not the Scripture say that the Christ is coming of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, David’s town?"
Wu, Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova wuli? Gijova Kilisitu yati ihumila mu lukolo lwa Daudi na ivelekewa ku Betelehemu, pamuji wa Daudi.”
43 So a division arose in the crowd concerning him. Some of them wished to apprehend him, but no one laid hands on him.
Hinu, mu msambi wula mpechenganu wahumalili ndava ya Yesu.
44 Then the officers returned to the chief priest and Pharisees,
Vandu vangi vaganayi kumkamula nambu avi lepi mundu mweatalambwili chiwoko chaki kumpamisa.
45 and they asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"
Kangi valonda vala vakavahambila Vakulu va kuteta va Chapanga na Vafalisayu. Ndi vene vakavakota valonda, “Ndava kyani, mwangamleta Yesu?”
46 The officers answered, "Never yet did a man speak like this man."
Valonda vala vakayangula, “Avi lepi mundu mweamali kujova vindu vyeajovili mundu uyu!”
47 "Surely you have not been led astray, have you? answered the Pharisees.
Vafalisayu vakavakota, “Wu, na nyenye mkongiwi mewa?
48 "Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?
Wu, mumuwene hati mmonga wa chilongosi wa vandu, amala mmonga wa Vafalisayu mweakumsadika?
49 "As for this mob who do not understand the Law, they are accursed!"
Lepi, nambu msambi wenuwo vangamanya Malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa, vapeliwi likoto na Chapanga!”
50 Nicodemus, one of their number, he who had formerly visited Jesus, said to them,
Mmonga wavi avi Nikodemu mweamuhambili Yesu magono ga mumbele. Hinu mwene akavajovela.
51 "Our law does not condemn the accused, does it, before hearing his defense, and finding out what he is doing?"
“Malagizu gitu gijova tikumuhamula lepi mundu changali kumuyuwanila na kumanya ahengili kyani?”
52 In answer they said to him. "You are not from Galilee, are you? Search for yourself, and see that from Galilee arises no prophet."
Vene vakamyangula, “Wu, na veve mewa uhumili ku Galilaya? Hinu ukagasoma bwina Mayandiku Gamsopi wamwene yati wilola kuvya ku Galilaya katu nakuhuma mlota wa Chapanga!”
53 Then they departed each to his own house.
Penapo kila mmonga awuyili kunyumba yaki.
