John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Pambele uYesu atakaluta mufikaaja ifya mu kighavo ikya Galilaya, naakalondagha kuluta kukighavo ikya Yudea, u'wakuva aVayahudi vakalondagha kukum'buda.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
Unsiki ughwa kikulukulu kya Vayahudi ikya fyeve, ghulyale piipi kufika.
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.
Avanuuna va Yesu vakam'buula uYesu vakati, “Lino uvuuke apa, ulute kukighavo ikya Yudea kuuti avavingilili vaako vafyaghe ifidegho fyako fino ghuvomba.
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.
Umuunhu juno ilonda kukagulika, naivomba imbombo saake kuvusyefu, lino ulwakuva ghuvomba isi sooni, ghuhufie kuvaanhu vooni.”
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Avanuuna valyajovile enendiiki, ulwakuva voope navalyamwitiike.
6 Jesus saith to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
Pe uYesu akavavuula akati, “Unsiki ghwango ghukyale pifika, looli umue ndepoonu muluta amasiki ghooni.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
Avaanhu ava mu iisi muno navangavakalalile umue, looli vikung'halalila une, ulwakuva nikuvaavuula kuuti, sino vivoomba mbiivi.
8 Go ye up to the feast; I go not up to this feast; for my time is not yet fully come.
Umue lutaghi kukikulukulu ikio; une naniluta ulwakuvaunsiki ghwango ghukyale pifika.
9 Having said these things, he remained in Galilee.
U Yesu ye ajovile aghuo akajigha mu kighavo ikya 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.
Neke avanuuna ye valutile ku kikulukulu, ghwope u Yesu akaluta, neke akaluta kisyefu, kisila kuhufia kuvaanhu. Kukikulukulu ukuo,
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
aVayahudi vakava vikumulonda u Yesu viposia kuvaanhu vitii, “Alikuughi?”
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.
Avaanhu vinga mulipugha lila. Vakava vikujovasia, vamo vitii, “Umuunhu ujuo nnofu.” Avange vitii, “Ndali, umuunhu ujuo isofia avaanhu.”
13 No one, however, spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
Neke nakwealyale umuunhu juno alyale ijova imhola saake pa vuvalafu, ulwakuva vakoghopagha aVayahudi.
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Pakate pa fighono ifya kikulukulu u Yesu akingila mu luviika ulwa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, akatengula kuvulanisia avaanhu.
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
Avayahudi vakava videgha vitii, “Umuunhu uju akaghwile ndaani isi, kisila kwimba?
16 Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
Pe pano U Yesu akavamula akati, “Imbulanisio soni nivulanisia na sango, looli sihumile kwa juno asung'hile.
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.
Umuunhu juno ilonda kuvomba isa vughane vusa Nguluve, ikagula kuuti imbulanisio isi sihumile Nguluve, nambe kuuti nijova muvutavulilua vwango juune.
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.
Umuunhu juno ijova muvutavulilya vwake jujuo, ilonda avaanhu vamug'hiniaghe. Neke umuunhu juno ilonda vamughiniaghe juno ansunghile, ujuo ijova isa kyang'haani, naijova isa vudesi.
19 Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me?
U Moose naalyavapeliile umue indaghilo? Neke nakwalemambe jumo pakate palyumue juno ivingilila indaghilo isio. Lino kiki milonda pikumbuda?”
20 The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee?
Avaantu mu lipugha lila vakamwamula vakati, “Uli ni lipepo uve. Ghwe veeni juno ilonda pikukubuda?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering.
U Yesu akavamula akati, “Une nikavombile ikidegho kimo, umue mweni mukakenyemuka.
22 Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.
U Moose alyalaghiile kuvomba ikivungo ikya kudumula ingola ija kidiimi avaana viinu. Ululaghilo uluo nalulyahumile kwa Moose, looli lulyahumile kuvakuulu viinu. Umue muvomba uluo nambe nambe kive kighono kya Sabati.
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?
Lino nave lukwitikisivua umwana kuvombelua ikivungo ikio mukighono ikya Sabati kuuti muleke kudeenya ululaghilo ulwa Moose, kiki mukung'halalila une. Kukunsosia umuunhu mu kighono ikya Sabati?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Mulekaghe kuhiga umuunhu mulwa kulola pamaaso, looli muhighaghe mu vwakyang'haani.
25 Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Avaanhu vamonga ava mu likaaja ilya Yelusalemu vakava viposania vitii, Asi, umuunhu uju naghwe juno avalongosi va Vayahudi vilonda kukumbuda?
26 and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ?
Lolagha ijova pa vuvalafu, neke avene naijova kimonga! Pamo aveene avolongosi vitii umuunhu uju lweli ghwe Kilisite!
27 Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
Ukilisite iliiva ikwisa nakwale nambe muunhu juno ilikagula kuno ihumila! Umuunhu uju kuno ihumatukagwile.
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.
U Yesu ye ajhighe ivulanisia mu luviika ulwa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, akajova fiijo akati, “Lweli umue mweni mung'haghwile une, kange mukaghwile kuno nihuma. Nambe mwiti mukagwile uluo,
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
une nanilisile mu vutavulilua vwango, ulwene juno asung'hile une ghwa kyang'haani, umue namunkagwile.
30 Therefore they sought to take him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Une ninkagwile ulwakuva nihumile kwa mwene, kange ghwe juno asung'hile. Pepano vakava vilonda kukunkola, neke nakwealyale umuunhu juno akaghela kukunkola, ulwakuva unsiki ghwake ughwa kukolua ghulyakyale kufika.
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?
Avaanhu vinga mu lipugha lila vakamwitika. Vakava vijova viiti, “Iliiva ikwisa uKiliste ilivomba ifidegho kukila fino avombile uju?”
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.
Avafalisayi vakapulika ilipugha lya vaanhu vipwepa vwimila imhola sa Yesu, pe avavaha va vatekesi na Vafalisayi vakasuung'ha avasikali kuuti vankole.
33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
Pepano uYesu ajajova akati, “Niiva numue unsiki n'debe vuvule, neke pambele nigomoka kwa juno asun'ghile.
34 Ye will seek me and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come.
Mulikundoonda, neke namulikunyaagha, kange kuno niliiva, umue namungafike.”
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?
Pe aVayahudi vakava viposania viiti, “Umuunhu uju iluta kuughi kuno usue natunga mwaghe? Asi, iluya ku vano Vapalasiine vano nkate mu vaYunani na kukuvavulanisia avaYunani?
36 What meaneth this which he said, Ye will seek me, and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
Asi, kwe kuti kiki pano iiti, 'Mulikundonda, neke namulikunyaagha, kange kuno niliiva umue namungafike?”
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.
Ikighono ikya vusililo ikya kikulukulu kya fyeve, kino kilyale kighono kivaha, uYesu akiima akajova fiijo akati, “Umuunhu nave ali ni kyumilua, iise kulyune anyue.
38 He that believeth in me, from within him, as the Scripture hath said, will flow rivers of living water.
Umuunhu juno ikunyitika une, iiva ndavule ghijova amalembe amimike kuuti, isaasa isa malenga amanya vwumi sidwivuka mu mwojo ghwake.
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.
Alyajovile uluo mu mhola ija mhepo uMwimike, juno avaanhu vano vikumwitika vilikumwupila pambele, unsiki ughuo, uNguluve alyakyale kukunsuung'ha umhepo ghwake, ulwakuva alyakyale kuhufia kuvaanu uvuvaha vwa Yesu.
40 Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ.
Avaanhu vamonga mu lipugha lila ye vapuliike amasio aghuo, vakati, “Kyang'haani, umuunhu uju m'bili.”
41 Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee?
Vamonga vakati, “Umuunhu uju ghwe Kilisite.” Neke avange vakati, “Ndali, uKilisite ndepoonu ihuma 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?
Asi amalembe amimike naghiiti uKilisite ilihuma mu kikolo ikya ntwa u Daudi ku kikaaja ikya Bethelehemu, kikaaja kino alyale ikukukala untwa uDaudi?
43 So there was a division among the multitude because of him.
Pepano avaanhu vakalekeng'hana vivimila uYesu.
44 And some of them wished to seize him; but no one laid hands on him.
Avaanu vamonga mu lipugha lila vakava vilonda kuku nkola, neke nakwealyale umuunhu juno akaghela kuku nkola.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
Avasikali vala vakagomoka ku vavaha va vatekesi na kuVafalisayi, kisila kunkola uYesu. Avavaha vala vakavaposia vakati, “Kiki namunkolile na kukumuleeta?”
46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
Avasikali vala vakamula vakati, “Naaghelile kuhumila umuunhu juno ijova ndavule umuunhu jula.
47 The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived?
Avafalisayi vakavaposia vakati, “Kwekuti najumue musyangilue?
48 Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees?
Asi ghwe veeni mu valongosi viitu nambe mu Vafalisayi juno amwitiike?
49 but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed.
Ulwene avanu avuo avuo navasikagwile indaghilo sa moose, avuo vaghunilue.”
50 Nicodemus saith to them, being one of them,
Pepano uNikodemu (umo mu valongosi va Vafalisayi, juno ikighono kimonga alyalutile kwa Yesu pakilo), akavaposia akati,
51 Doth our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he doeth?
“Asi indaghilo siitu sikwitikisia kukumhigha umuunhu kisila kumpulikisia na kukusitang'hania sino avombile?”
52 They answered and said to him, Art thou too from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.
Aveene vakamwamula vakati, “Neke najuuve uhumile ku Galilaya? Londagha muMalembe amimike pekyaghukagula kuuti nakwale umbili juno ahumile ku 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;
