John 7
1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jewish leaders sought to kill him.
Thuutha ũcio, Jesũ nĩaceerangire Galili, nĩ ũndũ ndendaga gũthiĩ Judea tondũ Ayahudi akuo nĩmamũcaragia mamũũrage.
2 Now the Jewish festival, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.
No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ kĩa Ayahudi gĩakuhĩrĩirie-rĩ,
3 So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works that you are doing.
ariũ a nyina na Jesũ makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩwagĩrĩirwo uume gũkũ ũthiĩ Judea, nĩguo arutwo aku mone ciama iria ũringaga.
4 For no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world."
Gũtirĩ mũndũ wendaga kũmenyeka nĩ andũ ũhithaga ũrĩa areeka. Na tondũ nĩũreeka maũndũ maya-rĩ, wĩonanie kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ.”
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Nĩgũkorwo o na ariũ a nyina matiamwĩtĩkĩtie.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ihinda rĩakwa rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire rĩtirĩ rĩrakinya; no harĩ inyuĩ ihinda o rĩothe nĩrĩagĩrĩire.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
Andũ a gũkũ thĩ matingĩmũthũũra, no niĩ nĩmathũire tondũ nĩnyumbũraga atĩ ũrĩa mekaga nĩ ũũru.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."
Inyuĩ thiĩi Gĩathĩ-inĩ. Niĩ ndikwamba kwambata Gĩathĩ-inĩ kĩu, nĩgũkorwo ihinda rĩakwa rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩru rĩtirĩ rĩrakinya.”
9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
Na aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, agĩikara kũu Galili.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
No rĩrĩ, thuutha wa ariũ a nyina gũthiĩ Gĩathĩ-inĩ kĩu, o nake agĩcooka agĩthiĩ, no ndaathiire akĩmenyekaga, no aathiire na hitho.
11 The Jewish leaders therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"
Na rĩrĩ, kũu Gĩathĩ-inĩ-rĩ, Ayahudi nĩmamũcaragia, makĩũranagia atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio arĩ ha?”
12 There was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." But others said, "Not so, but he leads the crowd astray."
Kũu mũingĩ-inĩ guothe andũ nĩmaragia na mĩheehũ ũhoro wake. Amwe makoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio nĩ mũndũ mwega.” Nao arĩa angĩ makoiga atĩrĩ, “Aca, mũndũ ũcio nĩaheenagia andũ.”
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jewish leaders.
No gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩaririe ũhoro wake akĩiguagwo nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra Ayahudi.
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Gĩathĩ gĩakinya gatagatĩ-rĩ, Jesũ akĩambata agĩthiĩ nja-inĩ cia hekarũ, akĩambĩrĩria kũrutana.
15 Then the Jewish leaders were astonished, saying, "How does this man know such writings, having never been educated?"
Nao Ayahudi makĩgega, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ aamenyeire maũndũ maya kũ, na ndathomete?”
16 Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũrutani ũrĩa ndutanaga ti wakwa niĩ mwene. Uumaga kũrĩ ũrĩa wandũmire.
17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
Mũndũ o wothe angĩenda gwĩka wendi wa Ngai, ũcio nĩarĩĩmenyaga kana ũrutani wakwa uumaga kũrĩ Ngai, kana njaragia ũhoro wakwa mwene.
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Mũndũ ũrĩa waragia ũhoro wake we mwene eekaga ũguo nĩgeetha egoocithie we mwene, no ũrĩa ũrutaga wĩra nĩgeetha agoocithie ũrĩa ũmũtũmĩte nĩ mũndũ wa ma; gũtirĩ ũndũ wa maheeni ũmũkoniĩ.
19 Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you keeps the Law? Why do you seek to kill me?"
Githĩ Musa ndaamũheire watho? No gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu ũmenyagĩrĩra watho. Mũrageria kũnjũraga nĩkĩ?”
20 The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?"
Naguo mũingĩ wa andũ ũkĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Wee ũrĩ na ndaimono. Nũũ ũrageria gũkũũraga?”
21 Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you are all amazed.
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ndaaringire kĩama kĩmwe, na inyuĩ inyuothe mũkĩgega.
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
No rĩrĩ, tondũ Musa nĩamũheire ũhoro wa kũrua (o na gũtuĩka ũhoro ũcio ndwoimire kũrĩ Musa, no woimĩte kũrĩ maithe manyu ma tene-rĩ), inyuĩ nĩ mũruithagia mwana mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
Rĩu angĩkorwo mwana no aruithio mũthenya wa Thabatũ nĩgeetha watho wa Musa ndũgathaahio-rĩ, mũrakĩndakarĩra nĩkĩ nĩkũhonia mũndũ mũthenya wa Thabatũ?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
Tigai gũtuanagĩra ciira na ũrĩa mũndũ atariĩ, tuanagĩrai ciira na kĩhooto.”
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Tondũ ũcio andũ amwe a kũu Jerusalemu makĩambĩrĩria kũũrania atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũyũ tiwe mũndũ ũrĩa marageria kũũraga?
26 Look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?
Na rĩu araaria atekwĩhitha, na matirĩ ũndũ maramwĩra. Kaĩ anene mamenyete kũna atĩ ũyũ nĩwe Kristũ?
27 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."
No ithuĩ nĩtũũĩ kũrĩa mũndũ ũyũ oimĩte; rĩrĩa Kristũ agooka, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaamenya kũrĩa agaakorwo oimĩte.”
28 Jesus therefore called out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
Tondũ ũcio Jesũ, o akĩrutanaga kũu hekarũ-inĩ, akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ; “Ĩĩ nĩguo, nĩmũnjũũĩ, na mũkamenya kũrĩa nyumĩte. Ndiũkĩte gũkũ nĩ ũndũ wakwa niĩ mwene, no ũrĩa wandũmire nĩ wa ma. Inyuĩ mũtimũũĩ,
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."
no niĩ nĩndĩmũũĩ, tondũ nyumĩte kũrĩ we, na nĩwe wandũmire.”
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Maigua ũguo makĩgeria kũmũnyiita, no gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wamũhutirie, tondũ ihinda rĩake rĩtiarĩ ikinyu.
31 But many in the crowd believed in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"
O na kũrĩ o ũguo, andũ aingĩ makĩmwĩtĩkia. Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Kristũ agooka-rĩ, nĩakaringa ciama nyingĩ gũkĩra mũndũ ũyũ?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Afarisai makĩigua andũ makĩheehana maũndũ ta macio mamũkoniĩ. Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na Afarisai magĩtũma thigari cia hekarũ ikamũnyiite.
33 Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ngũkorwo na inyuĩ o ihinda inini, njooke thiĩ kũrĩ ũrĩa wandũmire.
34 You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come."
Inyuĩ mũkaanjaria, no mũtikanyona; na kũrĩa ngaakorwo, mũtikahota gũkinya.”
35 The Jewish leaders therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
Ayahudi makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ nĩ kũ arenda gũthiĩ, kũu tũtangĩhota kũmuona? Hihi egũthiĩ kũrĩa andũ aitũ matũũraga mahurunjũkĩte gatagatĩ ka Ayunani, akarute Ayunani ũhoro?
36 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come'?"
Nĩ atĩa ekwendaga kuuga, rĩrĩa oigire atĩ, ‘Mũkaanjaria no mũtikanyona’ na ‘kũrĩa ngaakorwo mũtikahota gũkinya’?”
37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
Mũthenya wa mũthia, na ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa Gĩathĩ kĩu-rĩ, Jesũ akĩrũgama, akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũnyootiĩ-rĩ, nĩoke harĩ niĩ anyue.
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."
Ũrĩa wothe ũnjĩtĩkĩtie, thĩinĩ wake nĩkũriumaga njũũĩ cia maaĩ marĩ muoyo, o ta ũrĩa Maandĩko moigĩte.”
39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Akĩaria ũguo aaragia ũhoro wa Roho, ũrĩa arĩa maamwĩtĩkĩtie makaheo thuutha-inĩ. Amu hĩndĩ ĩyo Roho ndaaheanĩtwo, nĩgũkorwo Jesũ ndaagoocithĩtio.
40 Some of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the Prophet."
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ maiguire ciugo ciake, amwe makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ mũndũ ũyũ nĩ we Mũnabii ũrĩa.”
41 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Arĩa angĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Kristũ.” Nao angĩ makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kwahoteka atĩa Kristũ oime Galili?
42 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
Githĩ Maandĩko matiugĩte atĩ Kristũ akoima rũciaro-inĩ rwa Daudi, na oime Bethilehemu itũũra rĩrĩa Daudi aatũũraga?”
43 So there arose a division in the crowd because of him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũkĩgĩa na nyamũkano gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Amwe nĩmendaga kũmũnyiita, no gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wamũhutirie.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"
Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ arangĩri a hekarũ magĩcooka kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na Afarisai, nao makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mwaga kũmũrehe nĩkĩ?”
46 The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man."
Arangĩri acio magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũrĩ waria ta ũrĩa mũndũ ũcio aragia.”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You are not also led astray, are you?
Nao Afarisai makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũroiga atĩ o na inyuĩ nĩamũheenetie?
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Nĩ kũrĩ mũnene o na ũmwe kana Mũfarisai ũmwĩtĩkĩtie?
49 But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed."
Aca! No gĩkundi gĩkĩ kĩa andũ matooĩ watho-rĩ, nĩkĩnyiite nĩ kĩrumi.”
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him before, being one of them) said to them,
Nikodemo, ũrĩa wathiĩte kũrĩ Jesũ mbere ĩyo na aarĩ ũmwe wa gĩkundi kĩao, akĩũria atĩrĩ,
51 "Does our Law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"
“Watho witũ nĩũtuagĩra mũndũ ciira ataambĩte gũthikĩrĩrio nĩguo akamenyeka ũrĩa ekĩte?”
52 They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."
Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “O nawe kaĩ uumĩte Galili? Tuĩria ũhoro, na nĩũkũmenya atĩ mũnabii ndangiuma Galili.”
53 Then everyone went to his own house,
(O mũndũ akĩinũka gwake mũciĩ.
