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.
Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí Jesu ń rìn ní Galili, nítorí tí kò fẹ́ rìn ní Judea, nítorí àwọn Júù ń wá a láti pa.
2 Now the Jewish festival, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.
Àjọ àwọn Júù tí í ṣe àjọ àgọ́ súnmọ́ etílé tan.
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.
Nítorí náà, àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, “Lọ kúrò níhìn-ín yìí, kí o sì lọ sí Judea, kí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ pẹ̀lú lè fi iṣẹ́ rẹ hàn fún aráyé.
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."
Nítorí pé kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí í ṣe ohunkóhun níkọ̀kọ̀, tí òun tìkára rẹ̀ sì ń fẹ́ kí a mọ òun ní gbangba. Bí ìwọ bá ń ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí, fi ara rẹ hàn fún aráyé.”
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Nítorí pé àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ pàápàá kò tilẹ̀ gbà á gbọ́.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Nítorí náà ni Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Àkókò gan an fún mi kò tí ì dé; fún ẹ̀yin, gbogbo àkókò ni ó dára fún yín.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
Ayé kò lè kórìíra yín; ṣùgbọ́n èmi ni ó kórìíra, nítorí tí mo jẹ́rìí gbé é pé, iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ burú.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."
Ẹ̀yin ẹ gòkè lọ sí àjọ yìí, èmi kì yóò tí ì gòkè lọ sí àjọ yìí; nítorí tí àkókò mi kò ì tí ì dé.”
9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
Nígbà tí ó ti sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún wọn tan, ó dúró ní Galili síbẹ̀.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ gòkè lọ tan, nígbà náà ni òun sì gòkè lọ sí àjọ náà pẹ̀lú, kì í ṣe ní gbangba, ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹni pé níkọ̀kọ̀.
11 The Jewish leaders therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"
Nígbà náà ni àwọn Júù sì ń wá a kiri nígbà àjọ wí pé, “Níbo ni ó wà?”
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."
Ìkùnsínú púpọ̀ sì wà láàrín àwọn ìjọ ènìyàn nítorí rẹ̀, nítorí àwọn kan wí pé, “Ènìyàn rere ní í ṣe.” Àwọn mìíràn wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ṣùgbọ́n òun ń tan ènìyàn jẹ ni.”
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jewish leaders.
Ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ ní gbangba nítorí ìbẹ̀rù àwọn Júù.
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Nígbà tí àjọ dé àárín; Jesu gòkè lọ sí tẹmpili ó sì ń kọ́ni.
15 Then the Jewish leaders were astonished, saying, "How does this man know such writings, having never been educated?"
Ẹnu sì ya àwọn Júù, wọ́n wí pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí ti ṣe mọ ìwé, nígbà tí kò kọ́ ẹ̀kọ́?”
16 Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
Jesu dáhùn, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ̀kọ́ mi kì í ṣe tèmi, bí kò ṣe ti ẹni tí ó rán mi.
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.
Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá fẹ́ láti ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ yóò mọ̀ ní ti ẹ̀kọ́ náà, bí ìbá ṣe ti Ọlọ́run, tàbí bí èmi bá sọ ti ara mi.
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.
Ẹni tí ń sọ ti ara rẹ̀ ń wá ògo ara rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ń wá ògo ẹni tí ó rán an, òun ni olóòtítọ́, kò sì sí àìṣòdodo nínú rẹ̀.
19 Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you keeps the Law? Why do you seek to kill me?"
Mose kò ha fi òfin fún yín, kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín tí ó pa òfin náà mọ́? Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa mí?”
20 The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?"
Ìjọ ènìyàn dáhùn, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ìwọ ní ẹ̀mí èṣù, ta ni ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa ọ́?”
21 Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you are all amazed.
Jesu dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Kìkì iṣẹ́ àmì kan ni mo ṣe, ẹnu sì ya gbogbo yín.
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
Síbẹ̀, nítorí pé Mose fi ìkọlà fún yín (kò tilẹ̀ kúkú wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Mose bí kò ṣe láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn baba ńlá yín); nítorí náà ẹ sì ń kọ ènìyàn ní ilà ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi.
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?
Bí ènìyàn bá ń gba ìkọlà ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, kí a má ba à rú òfin Mose, ẹ ha ti ṣe ń bínú sí mi, nítorí mo mú ènìyàn kan láradá ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
Ẹ má ṣe ìdájọ́ nípa ti ara, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ máa ṣe ìdájọ́ òdodo.”
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Nígbà náà ni àwọn kan nínú àwọn ará Jerusalẹmu wí pé, “Ẹni tí wọ́n ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa kọ́ yìí?
26 Look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?
Sì wò ó, ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ ní gbangba, wọn kò sì wí nǹkan kan sí i. Àwọn olórí ha mọ̀ nítòótọ́ pé, èyí ni Kristi náà?
27 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."
Ṣùgbọ́n àwa mọ ibi tí ọkùnrin yí gbé ti wá, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Kristi bá dé, kò sí ẹni tí yóò mọ ibi tí ó gbé ti wá.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Jesu kígbe ní tẹmpili bí ó ti ń kọ́ni, wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin mọ̀ mí, ẹ sì mọ ibi tí mo ti wá, èmi kò sì wá fún ara mi, ṣùgbọ́n olóòtítọ́ ni ẹni tí ó rán mi, ẹni tí ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi mọ̀ ọ́n, nítorí pé lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ni mo ti wá, òun ni ó rán mi.”
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Nítorí náà wọ́n ń wá ọ̀nà à ti mú un, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó gbé ọwọ́ lé e, nítorí tí wákàtí rẹ̀ kò tí ì dé.
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?"
Ọ̀pọ̀ nínú ìjọ ènìyàn sì gbà á gbọ́, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Nígbà tí Kristi náà bá dé, yóò ha ṣe iṣẹ́ àmì jù wọ̀nyí, tí ọkùnrin yìí ti ṣe lọ?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Àwọn Farisi gbọ́ pé, ìjọ ènìyàn ń sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí lábẹ́lẹ̀ nípa rẹ̀; àwọn Farisi àti àwọn olórí àlùfáà sì rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ lọ láti mú un.
33 Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
Nítorí náà Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Níwọ́n ìgbà díẹ̀ ni èmi yóò wà pẹ̀lú yín, èmi yóò lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ẹni tí ó rán mi.
34 You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come."
Ẹ̀yin yóò wá mi, ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì rí mi, àti ibi tí èmi bá wà, ẹ̀yin kì yóò le wà.”
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?
Nítorí náà ni àwọn Júù ń bá ara wọn sọ pé, “Níbo ni ọkùnrin yìí yóò gbé lọ tí àwa kì yóò fi rí i? Yóò ha lọ sí àárín àwọn Helleni tí wọ́n fọ́n káàkiri, kí ó sì máa kọ́ àwọn Helleni bí.
36 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come'?"
Ọ̀rọ̀ kín ni èyí tí ó sọ yìí, ‘Ẹ̀yin yóò wá mi, ẹ kì yóò sì rí mi,’ àti ‘Ibi tí èmi bá wà ẹ̀yin kì yóò le wà’?”
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.
Lọ́jọ́ tó kẹ́yìn, tí í ṣe ọjọ́ ńlá àjọ, Jesu dúró, ó sì kígbe wí pé, “Bí òǹgbẹ bá ń gbẹ ẹnikẹ́ni, kí ó tọ̀ mí wá, kí ó sì mu.
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbà mí gbọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ìwé Mímọ́ ti wí, láti inú rẹ̀ ni odò omi ìyè yóò ti máa sàn jáde wá.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó sọ èyí ní ti ẹ̀mí, tí àwọn tí ó gbà á gbọ́ ń bọ̀ wá gbà, nítorí a kò tí ì fi Èmí Mímọ́ fún ni; nítorí tí a kò tí ì ṣe Jesu lógo.
40 Some of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the Prophet."
Nítorí náà, nígbà tí ọ̀pọ̀ nínú ìjọ ènìyàn gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, wọ́n wí pé, “Lóòótọ́ èyí ni wòlíì náà.”
41 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Àwọn mìíràn wí pé, “Èyí ni Kristi náà.” Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn kan wí pé kínla, “Kristi yóò ha ti Galili wá bí?
42 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
Ìwé mímọ́ kò ha wí pé, Kristi yóò ti inú irú-ọmọ Dafidi wá, àti Bẹtilẹhẹmu, ìlú tí Dafidi ti wá?”
43 So there arose a division in the crowd because of him.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìyapa wà láàrín ìjọ ènìyàn nítorí rẹ̀.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Àwọn mìíràn nínú wọn sì fẹ́ láti mú un; ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó gbé ọwọ́ lé e.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"
Ní ìparí, àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ tẹmpili padà tọ àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn Farisi lọ, wọ́n sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi mú un wá?”
46 The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man."
Àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ dáhùn wí pé, “Kò sí ẹni tí ó tí ì sọ̀rọ̀ bí ọkùnrin yìí rí!”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You are not also led astray, are you?
Nítorí náà àwọn Farisi dá wọn lóhùn pé, “A ha tan ẹ̀yin jẹ pẹ̀lú bí?
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Ǹjẹ́ nínú àwọn ìjòyè, tàbí àwọn Farisi ti gbà á gbọ́ bí?
49 But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed."
Ṣùgbọ́n ìjọ ènìyàn yìí, tí ko mọ òfin di ẹni ìfibú.”
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him before, being one of them) said to them,
Nikodemu ẹni tí ó tọ Jesu wá lóru rí, tí ó sì jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú wọn sì sọ fún wọn pé,
51 "Does our Law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"
“Òfin wa ha ń ṣe ìdájọ́ ènìyàn kí ó tó gbọ́ ti ẹnu rẹ̀ àti kí ó tó mọ ohun tí ó ṣe bí?”
52 They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."
Wọ́n dáhùn wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ pẹ̀lú wá láti Galili bí? Wá kiri, kí o sì wò nítorí kò sí wòlíì kan tí ó ti Galili dìde.”
53 Then everyone went to his own house,
Wọ́n sì lọ olúkúlùkù sí ilé rẹ̀.
