John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Na baada ya makowe aga Yesu atisafiri mu'Galilaya, kwa sababu apendile kwaa kuyenda Uyahudi kwa sababu Bayahudi babile bakipanga mipango ya kummulaga.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
Nambeambe sikukuu ya Ayahudi, sikukuu ya vibanda, yabile papipi.
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.
Nga alongo bake batikummakiya, “Uboke pandu hapa uyende Uyahudi, ili kwamba anapunzi bako nyonyonyo bayabone makowe uyapangayo.
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.
Ntopo ywapanga lolote kwa siri iwapo ywembe mwene apala kutangikana wazi. Iwapo upanga makowe aga, ujibonekeye wamwene kwa ulimwengu.”
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Hata nnongo bake bamwaminiye kwaa.
6 Jesus saith to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
Nga Yesu kammakiya, “Muda wango uikite kwaa bado, lakini muda winu kila mana ubile tayari.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
Ulimwengu waweza kwaa kubachukiya mwenga, ila wanichukiya nenga kwa kuwa niashuhudia kuwa makowe gake ni mabou.
8 Go ye up to the feast; I go not up to this feast; for my time is not yet fully come.
Mubokange kuyenda mu'sikukuu: nenga niyenda kwaa mu'sikukuu yee kwa sababu muda wangu ukamilika bado.”
9 Having said these things, he remained in Galilee.
Baada ya kulongela makowe ago kwabe, atami 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.
Hata nyoo, nongo bake pababile mu'sikukuu, nga ni ywembe atiyenda, sio kwa wazi bali kwa siri.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
Ayahudi pabile pakimpala mu'sikukuu no baya, “Abile kwaako?”
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.
Pabile ni malongelo ganyansima nkati ya makutano nnani yake. Benge batibaya, “Ni mundu mwema,” Benge babayite, “Hapana, uwapotosha bandu.”
13 No one, however, spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
Hata nyoo ntopo ywalongela wazi nnani yake kwa kuwaogopa Ayahudi.
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Muda wa sikukuu waikite katikati, Yesu kayenda mu'hekalu ni kuanza kupundisha.
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
Ayahudi babile batishangala no kubaya, “Kwa jinsi yanamani mundu yee ayatangite makowe ganyansima? Asoma kwaa kamwe.”
16 Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
Yesu kabayangwa ni kuamakiya, “Mapundisho gango nga yango kwaa, ila ni ya yolo ywanitumile.
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.
Iwapo yeyote ywapenda panga mapenzi gake ywembe, atangite kuhusu mapundisho aga, kati yatiboka kwa Nnongo, au kati nialongela kuoma kwango mwene.
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.
Kila ywalongela yaboite kwake mwene upala utukufu wake, ila kila yaa aupala utukufu wake ywembe ywamtumile, mundu yoo nga wa kweli, ni nkati yake ntopo kutenda ubou.
19 Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me?
Musa awapeile kwaa mwenga saliya? Lakini ntopo hata yumo nkati yinu ywaipangite saliya. Mwanja namani mwapala kunibualaga?
20 The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee?
Bandu kabannyangwa, “Ubile ni nchela, nyai ywapala kukubulaga?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering.
Yesu kayangwa ni kuamakiya, nipangite kazi yimo, ni mwenga mwabote mwatishangala kwa sababu ya yelo kazi.
22 Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.
Musa atikuwapea mwenga tohara (iboite kwaa boka kwa Musa, ila yelo yaboite kwa tate), ni nkati ya Sabato mwastahili mundu.
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?
Mana abile mundu ywapokya tohara mu'siku ya Sabato ili saliya ya Musa itekwanike, kwa mwanja namani mwanikasirikya nenga kwa sababu nimpangite mundu kuwa nkoto kabisa mu'sabato?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Kana mhukumu lengana na mwonekano, ila muhukumu kwa haki.
25 Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Baadhi yabe baboka Yerusalemu kababaya, “Yolo kwaaa wampala kummulaga?
26 and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ?
No linga, alongela waziwazi, nga balongela kwaa chochote nnani yake. Iwezekana kwaa ibile kwamba atawala batangite kweli kuwa ayoo nga Kristo, yawezana batangite?
27 Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
Twayowine kuwa mundu yolo aboka kwaako. Kristo paaisa, hata nyoo, ntopo ywatangite abokakwaako.
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.
Yesu abile akombwa lilobe lyake mu'hekalu, kapundisha no baya, “Mwenga mwabote mtangite paniboka. Niisile kwaa kwa nafasi yango, ila ywembe ywanitumile nga wa kweli, na muntangite kwaa ywembe.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
Nintangite ywembe kwa mana niboka kwake nga anitumite.”
30 Therefore they sought to take him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Babile kabajaribu kuntaba, lakini ntopo hata yumo ywauluwa luboko lwake nnani yake kwa kuwa saa yake yabile bado iikite.
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?
Hata nyoo, baingi mu'bandu baaminiya. Kababaya, “Kristo paaisile, alowa panga ishara zanyansima kuliko za azipangite mundu yolo?”
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.
Mafarisayo babayowine bandu kabalongela bembe makowe aga husu Yesu, ni akolo ba makuhani ni Mafarisayo watikubatuma maafisa ili kuntaba.
33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
Palyo Yesu kabaya, “Bado kwabile ni muda nchunu nabile pamope ni mwenga, ni baadae nalowa boka kuyenda kwake ywembe ywanitumile.
34 Ye will seek me and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come.
Mwalowa kunipala ila munibweni kwaa; kolyo kaniyenda, muweza kwaa kuisa.
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?
Kwa nyo Ayahudi kabalongela bene kwa bene, “Mundu yoo ayenda kwaako ambako twaweza kwaa kummona? Ayenda kwa batawanyike nkati ya Ayunani ni kubapundisha Ayunani?
36 What meaneth this which he said, Ye will seek me, and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
Ni neno lyaako lee alibayite,'Mwalowa kunipala wala mwanibweni kwaa, kolyo niyenda muweza kwaa kuisa?”
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.
Nambeambe mu'lisiku lya mwisho, lisoba likolo lya sikukuu, Yesu ayemi kakombwa lilobe, kabaya, “Mana itei yeyote abile na kiu, aise kwango anywe.
38 He that believeth in me, from within him, as the Scripture hath said, will flow rivers of living water.
Ywembe ywaniaminiye nenga, kati maandiko gabayite, kuoma nkati yake yatitiririka mito ya mase ya ukoto.
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.
Lakini abayite aga kuhusu Roho, ywabile wao watikumwamini walowa kumpoteza; Roho abile bado tolewa kwa sababu Yesu abile atukuzwa kwaa bado.
40 Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ.
Baadhi ya bandu, pabayowine maneno aga, babayite, “Kweli yolo ni nabii.”
41 Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee?
Benge babayite, “Ayoo nga Kristo.” Lakini benge babayite, “Kristo aweza kwaa boka Galilaya?
42 Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?
Maandiko gabayite kwaa kuwa Kristo aboka mu'lukolo lwa Daudi ni kuoma Bethlehemu, kijiji ambacho Daudi abile?
43 So there was a division among the multitude because of him.
Nyo, patiuluka mgawanyiko nkati ya bandu kwa ajili yake.
44 And some of them wished to seize him; but no one laid hands on him.
Benge nkati yabe balowa kuntaba, lakini ntopo ywauluwa maboko gake nnani yake.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
Nga balo maofisa kababuyangine kwa akolo ba makuhani ni mafarisayo, nabo wakaakokeya, “Kwa mwanja namani munletike kwaa?
46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
Maofisa kaayangwa, “Ntopo mundu ywaweza longela kati yolo kabla.”
47 The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived?
Nga mafarisayo kabayangwa, “Ni mwenga pia mwatipotoshwa?
48 Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees?
Kwabile ni yoyoti nkati ya atawala amwaminiye, au yeyote wa Mafarisayo?
49 but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed.
Ila aba bandu baitangite kwaa saliya-balaanilwe.”
50 Nicodemus saith to them, being one of them,
Nikodemo kaabakiya (ywembe atikunyendea Yesu zamani, abile yumo ywa Mafarisayo),
51 Doth our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he doeth?
“Je saliya yitu yaweza kumhukumu mundu ila abile atikusikilizwa kwanza ni kuyowa chaakipangite?
52 They answered and said to him, Art thou too from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.
Kabanyangwa ni kummakiya, “Ni wenga uboka Galilaya? Tafuta ni ubone kwamba ntopo nabii ywaboka Galilaya.”
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;
