John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Gakapiteje genego, a Yeshu bhatendaga owa mmbali ya ku Galilaya. Bhangapinga kuowela nkowa gwa ku Yudea kwa ligongo lya ashikalongolele bha Bhayaudi bhapingangaga kwaabhulaganga.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
Shikukuu sha Bhayaudi, shishemwa shikukuu sha ibhanda shishinkubhandishila.
3 His brothers therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou art doing.
Bhai ashaapwabho gubhaalugulilenje, “Nnjabhule apano nnjende ku Yudea bhaajiganywa bhenu bhagabhonanje maengo gunkutenda.
4 For no one doeth anything in secret, and yet himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.
Mundu apinga manyika na bhandunji, akaatenda indu kwa nng'iyo. Ibhaga nkutenda genega, bhai, mwiilanguye ku shilambolyo.”
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Nkali ashaapwabho bhangaakulupalilanga.
6 Jesus saith to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Malanga gangu gapwaa gakanabhe ika. Ikabheje kwenu mmanganya malanga gowe ganakumpwaanga.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
Bhandunji pa shilambolyo bhakakunshimanga mmanganya, ikabheje bhanashimwanga na nne pabha ngunakong'ondela kuti itendi yabhonji yangali ya mmbone.
8 Go ye up to the feast; I go not up to this feast; for my time is not yet fully come.
Mmanganya nnjendangananje kushikukuuko. Nne ngajenda, pabha malanga gangu gapwaa gakanabheika.”
9 Having said these things, he remained in Galilee.
Bhakabheleketeje genego gubhaigele ku Galilaya.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.
Ashaapwabho bhakajendanganaje kushikukuu, nabhalabho a Yeshu gubhapite, ikabheje bhangajenda kwa bhonekana kulugwinjili ikabhe kwa nng'iyo.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
Ashikalongolele bha Bhayaudi bhatendaga kwaaloleyanga kushikukuuko, gubhashitenje, “Kubhali kwei?”
12 And there was much debating among the multitude concerning him. Some said, He is a good man; others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the multitude.
Gashinkupagwa manong'ono gamagwinji nnugwinjili lwa bhandu ga bhenebho. Bhananji gubhashitenje, “Pubhalipa bhanguja.” Bhananji gubhashitenje, “Nng'oo! Bhanapuganya bhandu.”
13 No one, however, spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
Nkali nneyo, jwakwa mundu alinjile kubheleketa ngani jabho palugwinjili nkwaajogopanga ashikalongolele bha Bhayaudi.
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Ikaishileje pakati shikukuu, a Yeshu nabhalabho gubhapite ku likanisha gubhatandwibhe kujiganya.
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
Bhai, Bhayaudi gubhakanganigwenje nibheleketa, “Abha bhandubha bhapatile bhuli alu lundalu nabhalabho bhangashoma shule?”
16 Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
Bhai a Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Majiganyo gungujiganya nngabha gangu, ikabhe gabho bhandumile bhala.
17 If any one is desirous to do his will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.
Mundu apinga kutenda gubhapinga a Nnungu, shamumanye monaga majiganyo gangu gano gakopoka kwa a Nnungu, eu ngunakwiibheleketela namwenepe.
18 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and in him is no unrighteousness.
Jwene akwiibheleketela nnyene, analoleya ukonjelo gwakwe nnyene, ikabheje aloleya ukonjelo gwabho bhantumile bhala, jwenejo jwa kulupalilwa na muntima gwakwe yakwapi yangali ya mmbone.
19 Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me?
Bhuli, a Musha bhangampanganga shalia? Nkali nneyo, jwakwa nkali jumo munkumbi gwenunji akamula shalia. Kwa nndi mpinga mulaganga?”
20 The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee?
Bhandunji bhala gubhaajangwilenje, “Mmwe nshikola maoka! Gani apinga kummulaga?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Shipali shindu shimo shindendile, shinkanganigwenje.
22 Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.
A Musha bhampelenje nkubho gwa jaluka. Nngabha kuti gwene nkubhogo kugwakopweshe kwa a Musha, ikabhe kwa ashambuje. Na nnaino mmanganyanji nkali Lyubha lya Pumulila, nnakuntaganga mundu unyago.
23 If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye angry at me, because I have restored soundness to the whole body of a man on the sabbath?
Bhai ibhaga, nkali Lyubha lya Pumulila mundu anajaluka nkupinga shalia ja a Musha jinaleshwe, pakuti nnandumbalilanga kwa ligongo lya kunnamya mundu Lyubha lya Pumulila?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Nnaukumulanje indu kwa lola sha palangape, nshoyanje ukumu ja aki.”
25 Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Bhandu bhananji bha ku Yelushalemu gubhashitenje, “Bhuli, bhenebha nngabha bhubhaakwaloleyanga bhaabhulaganje bhala?
26 and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ?
Nnolanje nnaino! Bhanabheleketa palugwinjili, na wala bhakakwaabhalanjilanga shindu. Bhuli ipingaga ashikalongolele bhang'amwilenje kuti kweli bhenebha a Kilishitu?
27 Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
Ikabheje tukumanyi abha bhandubha kubhakoposhele, a Kilishitu pushibhaishe jwakwa mundu shakumanye kubhakoposhele!”
28 Jesus therefore cried aloud, teaching in the temple and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but there is in truth one who sent me, whom ye know not.
Bhai, a Yeshu pubhaliji nkujiganya Nniekalu gubhautiye lilobhe, “Elo mmanyinji nne, na kungoposhele nkumanyinji! Nkali nneyo, nangaika kwa mashili gangu namwene, ikabhe bhandumile bhala bha kweli, mmanganyanji nkakwaamanyanga.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
Ikabheje nne naamanyi pabha kungoposhele kunngwabho, bhenebho ni bhandumile.”
30 Therefore they sought to take him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Bhai, bhandunji gubhapinjilenje kwaakamula, ikabheje jwakwapi mundu alinjile kwaakamula, pabha malanga gabho ga kamulwa galiji gakanabheika.
31 But of the multitude many believed in him, and said, When the Christ cometh, will he do more signs than these which this man doeth?
Bhandunji bhabhagwinji nnugwinjili mula gubhaakulupalilenje, nigubhashitenje, “Igala, pushibhaishe a Kilishitu shibhatende ilangulo yaikulungwa kupunda ibhatendile bhenebhai?”
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.
Ashimapalishayo gubhaapilikenenje bhandunji bhalinong'onanga nkwainginika a Yeshu. Bhai, Ashimapalishayo na bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila gubhaatumilenje bhalinda bhaakakamulanje.
33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
A Yeshu gubhashite, “Puni pamo na mmanganyanji mobha gashoko, kungai shinyende kubhandumile bhala.
34 Ye will seek me and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come.
Nkupinganoleyanga, ikabheje nkamonanga, pabha pene pushimbagwe nne pala, nkakombolanga kuika.”
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
Ashikalongolele bha Bhayaudi gubhabhuyenenje ashaayenenji, “Abha bhandubha kubhapinga kwenda kwei kwaatenda uwe tunaapate? Eti bhapinga kwaajendelanga Bhayaudi bhapwilinganishilenje ku Bhagiliki bhakaajiganyanje Bhagiliki?
36 What meaneth this which he said, Ye will seek me, and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
Malombolelo gakwe nndi malobhe gubhabheleketega. ‘Nkupinga noleyanga ikabheje nkamonanga, na pushimbagwe nne mmanganyanji nkakombolanga kuika?’”
37 On the last day, which is the great day, of the feast, Jesus stood and cried aloud, saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
Lyubha lya mpelo gwa shikukuusho pulyaaliji lyubha likulu. A Yeshu gubhajimi, gubhashite kwa lilobhe lya utiya, “Akwete nnjota ajiye kwangune apapile.
38 He that believeth in me, from within him, as the Scripture hath said, will flow rivers of living water.
Malinga shigataya Majandiko ga Ukonjelo. ‘Angulupalila nne, nushi ya mashi ga gumi shibhutushe kopoka muntima gwakwe!’”
39 But this he said of the Spirit, which those that believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Bhashinkubheleketa genego kwa ligongo lya Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo jushibhamposhelanje bhaakulupalilenjebho. Gene malangago Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo paaliji akanabhe ika, pabha a Yeshu bhaliji bhakanabhe kuywa.
40 Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ.
Bhandu bhananji nnugwinjili mula gubhapilikenenje gene malobhego, gubhashitenje, “Kweli bhene bhandubha ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhakwiya bhala!”
41 Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee?
Bhananji gubhashitenje, “Abha a Kilishitu!” Ikabheje bhananji gubhashitenje, “Bhuli, inakomboleka a Kilishitu kukopoka ku Galilaya?
42 Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?
Gakuti bhuli Majandiko ga Ukonjelo? Gakuti. ‘A Kilishitu shibhakoposhele nshipinga sha a Daudi, shibhabhelekwe ku Bheteleemu, shilambo sha a Daudi!’”
43 So there was a division among the multitude because of him.
Bhai, gugakoposhele malekano munkumbi gwa bhandunji mula kwa ligongo lya a Yeshu.
44 And some of them wished to seize him; but no one laid hands on him.
Bhandu bhananji gubhapinjilenje kwaakamula ikabheje jwakwa alinjile kwaaamula.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
Kungai bhalinda bhala gubhabhujilenje kubhakulungwanji bha bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na Mapalishayo, nabhalabhonji gubhaabhushiyenje, “Kwa nndi mwangajia nabhonji?”
46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
Bhalinda gubhaajangwilenje, “Wala jwakwa mundu akombwele bheleketa malinga shibhaabheleketa bhene bhandu bhala!”
47 The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived?
Ashimapalishayo gubhaabhushiyenje, “Bhuli, nkali mmanganyanji ntembilwenje?
48 Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees?
Bhuli, mumweninji nkali jumo jwa ashikalongolele bha bhandu, eu jumo jwa Mapalishayo abhakulupalile?
49 but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed.
Ikabheje alu lugwinjililu bhakakujigamanya shalia ja a Musha, bhashiloshwanga na a Nnungu!”
50 Nicodemus saith to them, being one of them,
Bhamo bha munkumbi gwa Mapalishayo, a Nikodemo, bhaajendele a Yeshu mobha gapitile, gubhaalugulilenje,
51 Doth our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he doeth?
“Bhuli, shalia jetu jinakunng'ukumula mundu gwangatandubha kumpilikanishiya nikugamanya gatendile?”
52 They answered and said to him, Art thou too from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.
Bhalabhonji gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhuli na mmwe kunkopweshe ku Galilaya? Ayaga, nkalole Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo, na mmwe shimumanye kuti ku Galilaya kukakopoka Nkulondola jwa a Nnungu!”
53 (Joh 7:53 - 8:12: This passage is omitted as ungenuine by Tischendorf and most critical editors of the Greek Testament. It is found in some manuscripts, but not in the most ancient. It is, however, very generally regarded as a genuine relic of the teaching of Christ, though not forming a part of the fourth Gospel. I give it in the text of Tregelles, omitting the words which he incloses in brackets. Tregelles, however, does not suppose it to be genuine.) [[And they went each to his house;
Bhai kila mundu gwapite kunngwakwe.
