John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Pakumala yeleyo Che Yesu ŵajawile ku chikwesya cha Miseituni.
2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
Malaŵi jakwe kundaŵi pe, Che Yesu ŵajawile sooni pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Ŵandu wose ŵansyungwile, nombewo ŵatemi ni kutanda kwajiganya.
3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
Nipele Ŵakwiganya malajisyo pamo ni Mafalisayo ŵannyichenawo jwankongwe juŵakamwilwe ali nkutenda chikululu. Ŵanjimiche jwankongwe jo paujo pa ŵandu.
4 they said to him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
Nipele ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Jwakwiganya, jwankongwe ju akamwilwe ali nkutenda chikululu.
5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
Mmalajisyo getu che Musa ŵatulajisye yele, jwankongwe mpela aju aulajikwe kwa kuputikwa ni maganga. Nambi mmwejo nkuti uli?”
6 Now they said this to test him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Ŵatite yeleyo kuti ŵalinje Che Yesu akole chakumbechetela. Nambo Che Yesu ŵakoteme ni kulemba paasi ni chala chakwe.
7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
Paŵapundile kumbusya, Che Yesu ŵajinamukwiche ni kwasalila, “Naga kwana mundu jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe jwanganakola sambi aŵe jwaandanda kumponya liganga.”
8 Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
Nipele ŵakoteme sooni ni kulemba paasi.
9 But when they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last, and he was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
Paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵatandite kutyoka jumo jumo achilongolelaga achachekulu. Che Yesu ŵasigele jikape ni jwankongwe jula ali ajimi palapala.
10 Then Jesus, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
Ni Che Yesu paŵajinamukwiche ŵambusisye jwankongwe jula, “Amao, ŵandu ŵala alinji kwapi? Uli, ngapagwa jwanlamwile mmwejo?”
11 And she said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more."
Jwankongwe jula ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, ngapagwa namose jumo jwanamwile!” Nombe Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Uneji nombe ngangunlamula. Njaule, nambo kutandila sambano nkatenda sambi sooni.”
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
Che Yesu ŵakungulwiche sooni ni ŵandu achitiji, “Uneji ndili lilanguka lya pachilambo pano. Mundu jwalijose jwakunguya uneji ngajenda mu chipi ng'o, nambo chakole ni lilanguka lya umi.”
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
Nipele Mafalisayo ŵansalile, “Nkusala umboni wenu mwasyene, sambano umboni wenu uli wa unami.”
14 Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I am going.
Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Atamuno nasalaga umboni wangu nansyene, umboni wangu uli usyene ligongo uneji nakumanyi kungopochele ni kungwaula. Nambo mwanya ngankukumanyilila kungopochele ni kungwaula.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
Ŵanyamwe nkulamula kwa ng'anisyo sya chiundu nambo uneji ngangunlamula mundu.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
Naatamuno nalamulaga, ulamusi wangu uli usyene ligongo uneji ngangupanganya masengo jika, Atati ŵandumile une wo ali pamo ni une.
17 It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.
Ilembekwe mmalajisyo genu, umboni wa ŵandu ŵaŵili uli wa usyene.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
Uneji ngusala umboni wangu nansyene, ni Atati ŵandumile nombe akusala umboni wangu.”
19 They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
Pelepo ŵambusisye, “Ana Atati ŵenu ali kwapi?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe ngankuumanyilila uneji atamuno ngankummanyilila Atati ŵangu. Nkaamanyilile uneji nkaamanyilile Atati ŵangu nombe.”
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
Che Yesu ŵaŵechete maloŵe go mu chuumba cha mbiko, paŵaliji nkwiganya pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Ni nganapagwa mundu juŵankamwile pakuŵa katema kakwe kaliji kakanaŵe kwika.
21 Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come."
Che Yesu ŵaasalile sooni, “Uneji ngwaula ni ŵanyamwe chimuusose, nambo chimmwe mu sambi syenu. Kungwaula uneji, ŵanyamwe ngankombola kwika.”
22 The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come?'"
Nipele, achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵatite, “Ana chaliulaje? Ana kwa ligongo chi akuti, ‘Kungwaula ŵanyamwe ngankombola kwika?’”
23 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe nkopochele papapa pachilambo cha paasi, nambo uneji ngopochele kwinani. Ŵanyamwe nlinji ŵa pachilambo pano, nambo uneji nguniŵa jwa pachilambo pano.
24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
Kwaligongo lyo nansalile kuti chimmwe mu sambi syenu. Pakuŵa ngankukulupilila kuti, ‘Uneji ndili jwelejo’ chimmwe mu sambi syenu.”
25 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
Nombe ŵanyawo ŵambusisye, “Ana mmwejo ni ŵaani?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uneji ndili jwelejo, mpela inansalile chitandile kundanda!
26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
Ngwete yejinji yakuŵecheta ni kulamula nkati ŵanyamwe. Nambo ŵandumile une ali ŵausyene, none ngwasalila ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo yeila pe imbilikene kutyochela kwa ŵelewo.”
27 They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
Ŵanyawo nganaimanyilila kuti Che Yesu ŵaŵechetaga nawo yankati ngani sya Akunnungu, Atati ŵao.
28 Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Pachimunnyakule Mwana jwa Mundu, pelepo ni pachimmanyilile kuti, ‘Uneji ndili jwelejo,’ ni chimmanyilile kuti ngangupanganya chachili chose nansyene, nambo nguŵecheta yeila pe inyiganyikwe ni Atati.
29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
Ŵandumile ŵala ali pamo ni uneji, nganaaneka jika, pakuŵa moŵa gose nguitendekanya aila yaikwanonyela.”
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵampilikanile Che Yesu achiŵechetaga maloŵe ga ŵankulupilile.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakulupilile ŵala kuti, “Mwaikamulichisyaga inanjigenye, chimme ŵakulijiganya ŵangu ŵa usyenesyene.
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
Chimuumanyilile usyene, ni usyene wo chiuntende ŵalecheleswe.”
33 They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"
Nombe ŵanyawo ŵanjanjile, “Tuli uŵelesi u che Iblahimu ni nganituŵa achikapolo ŵa mundu jwalijose. Ana malumbo gakwe chichi pankuti, ‘Chinchilecheleswa?’”
34 Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Ngunsalila isyene, mundu jwalijose jwakutendekanya sambi ali kapolo jwa sambi.
Kapolo ngakutama pamusi moŵa gose, nambo mwanache akutama pamusi moŵa gose. (aiōn g165)
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Nipele Mwana annechelesyaga ŵanyamwe nombe chimbe ŵalecheleswe kusyenesyene.
37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
Naimanyi kuti ŵanyamwe nlinji uŵelesi u che Iblahimu. Nambo nkusaka kumulaga ligongo nkugakana majiganyo gangu.
38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have heard from your father."
Uneji nguŵecheta aila pe yanosisye Atati ŵangu, nambo ŵanyamwe nkupanganya aila yansalile atati ŵenu.”
39 They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
Ŵanyawo ŵanjanjile, “Uweji Atati ŵetu ali che Iblahimu!” Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe nkaŵe ŵanache ŵa che Iblahimu nkaitendekenye aila iŵaitendekenye che Iblahimu.
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
Uneji nansalile usyene unaupilikene kutyochela kwa Akunnungu, atamuno yeleyo ŵanyamwe nkusaka kumulaga. Che Iblahimu nganapanganya yeleyo!
41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
Ŵanyamwe nkutendekanya ilaila yaitesile atati ŵenu.” Ŵanyawo ŵansalile, “Uweji nganitupagwe kwa chikululu! Tukwete atati ŵamope, ŵelewo ali Akunnungu.”
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I have not come of myself, but he sent me.
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ikaŵe Akunnungu ali Atati ŵenu, nkaanonyele uneji pakuŵa uneji natyosile kwa Akunnungu ni sambano ndili papapa pepa. Nguniika kwa malamulo gangu nansyene nambo kwa malamulo ga ŵandumile une wo.
43 Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
Ana kwachichi ngankugapilikanichisya ginguŵecheta ga? Ligongo ngankusaka kugapilikana maloŵe gangu.
44 You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.
Ŵanyamwe atati ŵenu Jwakulinga ni ŵanyamwe nkusaka kutendekanya yaikwanonyelesya atati ŵenu. Chitandile kundanda jwelejo ŵaliji jwakuulaga, ni nganawai kwima ku upande wa usyene, mwa jwelejo nganiupagwa usyene. Paakuŵecheta ya unami, akuŵecheta yatite kusyoŵelela, pakuŵa jwelejo ali jwa unami ni atati jwa unami wose.
45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
Pakuŵa uneji ngunsalila usyene, ŵanyamwe ngankungulupilila.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Mwa ŵanyamwe nduni juchakombole kuŵalanga umboni kuti uneji ngwete sambi? Ana iŵaga nguŵecheta usyene, kwachichi ngankungulupilila?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God."
Ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu akugapilikana maloŵe gakuŵecheta Akunnungu, ŵanyamwe ngankupilikana pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nganimma ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu.”
48 Then the Judeans answered him, "Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"
Ŵayahudi ŵanjanjile Che Yesu, “Ana nganitusala uchenene kuti mmwejo ndi Msamalia ni sooni nkwete lisoka?”
49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uneji nganingola lisoka. Uneji ngwachimbichisya Atati ŵangu, nambo ŵanyamwe ngankunjimbichisya une.
50 But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
Uneji ngangulisosela ukulu wangu nansyene. Apali jumo jwakuusosela ukulu wo, nombejo ali jwakulamula.
Ngunsalila isyene, mundu jwalijose jwakugakamulichisya majiganyo gangu ngaawa nambo chatame moŵa gose pangali mbesi.” (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Judeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' (aiōn g165)
Ŵayahudi ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Sambano twimanyi uchenene kuti mmwejo nkwete lisoka! Che Iblahimu ŵawile, ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵawile iyoyo peyo, nomwe nkuti, ‘Mundu jwalijose agakamulichisyaga majiganyo gangu ngaawa!’ (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
Ana mmwejo nkulitenda ŵakulungwa kwapunda atati ŵetu che Iblahimu juŵawile jula? Natamuno ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵawile nombewo. Sambano mmwejo nkulitenda ŵaani?”
54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say 'He is our God.'
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nalikusyaga une nansyene, ukulu wangu ngaŵa chindu. Atati ŵangu ŵankwaŵilanga Akunnungu ŵenu, ŵelewo ni ŵakungusya une.
55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.
Ŵanyamwe ngannaŵe kwamanyilila, nambo uneji naamanyi. Nombe nasalaga kuti ngangwamanyilila, chime jwaunami mpela ŵanyamwe. Uneji ngwamanyilila ni ngulikamulichisya liloŵe lyao.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
Atati ŵenu che Iblahimu ŵasangalele aliwone lyuŵa lya kwika kwangu, nombewo ŵaliweni ni ŵasengwile.”
57 The Judeans therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵaasalile, “Mmwejo nkuti uli kuti mwaweni che Iblahimu nomwe nganinnyiche yaka makumi nsano?”
58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngunsalila isyene, akanaŵe kupagwa che Iblahimu uneji napali.”
59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was concealed, and went out of the temple.
Pelepo ŵalokwete maganga achisakaga kwaponya, nambo Che Yesu ŵaalesile ni kutyoka pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
