< John 8 >

1 but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
Lino Yesu walaya ku mulundu wa ma olifi.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
Mumene mene walaya ku Nga'nda yaLesa. Bantu bonse balesa kulyendiye, walekala panshi nekutatika kubeyisha.
3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,
Bafalisi neBeshiwiyisha Milawo balaleta mutukashi ngobalekata bupombo, nekumwimanika pakati pabo.
4 they say unto him, Master, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.
Lino balambila Yesu, “Bashikwiyisha, mutukashuyu wacanika kapombolwa.
5 Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?
Lino kwelana ne Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose mutukashi uyu wela kupwaiwa mabwe. Nomba amwe mulambangapongaconi?”
6 And this they said, tempting him, that they might have [whereof] to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
Balamwipusha mwipusho uyu pakumwelesha kwambeti bamucaninepo mulandu. Nomba Yesu pacindi copeleco walakotama, nekutatika kulemba panshi ne munwe wakendi.
7 But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Pakupitilisha kumwipusha, Yesu walakotamuka nekubambileti, “pakati penu uyo utana kucimwapo, ayambilile kumanta libwe amupwaye mutukashi uyu.”
8 And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
Mpwalambeco, kayi walakotama nekupitilisha kulemba panshi.
9 And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.
Mpobalanyumfweco bantu balatatika kufumapo umo neumo, bamakulene ebalatatikila kupalangana. Lino palashalowa mutukashi usa kaliwemana pantangu pa Yesu.
10 And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?
Yesu walakotamuka nekumwipusha, “Mutukashi obe balayikupeyo bakupanga mulandu? Sena paliya nambi umo lashalapo kukupa mulandu?”
11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.]
Mutukashi walambeti, “Mwami, paliya.” Neye Yesu walamwambileti, “Nenjame nkandakupanga mulandu sobwe. Koya nsombi kuyambila lelo kotakabweshapo kwipisha.”
12 Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Kayi Yesu walambila bantu bonse, “Ame njame mumuni ulamunikilinga bantu bonse. Muntu lankonkonga, nteshi akende mumushinshe, nsombi nakekale mu mumuni weshikupa buyumi.”
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
Nabo Bafalisi balamwambileti, “Ulalinshilinga bukamboni omwine. Bukamboni ubo ntebo bwakubinga.”
14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Nambi ndalinshilinga bukamboni, bukamboni bwakame nibwakubinga, pakwinga ndikwinshi nkondalafuma nenkondenga. Nsombi amwe nkamukwinshi nkondalafuma, nambi nenkondenga.
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
Amwe mukute kombolosha pakukonka miyeyo ya bantu. Ame nkankute kombolosha muntu uliyense.
16 Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
Nsombi ndambeti ng'omboloshe, kombolosha kwakame ngakuba kwancine ncine, pakwinga nkandipo ndenka sobwe, pakwinga Bata balantuma balinenjame.
17 Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.
Kayi mumilawo yenu mwalembweti bukamboni bwa bantu babili nibwakubinga
18 I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
Ame nkute kulinshila bukamboni, nabo Bata balantuma bakute kunjinshila bukamboni.”
19 They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.
Lino nabo balamwipusheti, “Baiso abo balikupeyo?” Yesu walambeti, “Nkamunjishi, kayi ne Bata nkamubenshi. Nimunjinshi nimubenshi Bata.”
20 These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.
Yesu walamba maswi awa mpwalikwiyisha mu Nga'nda ya Lesa, mucipinda cakutambulilamo bupe bwa bantu. Paliya walamwikata, pakwinga cindi cakendi calinkacitana cishika.
21 He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Panyuma pakendi Yesu kayi walabambileti, “Ame ndenga, nimukanangaule, nomba nkondenga amwe nkamwela kushikako nimukafwilowa mubwipishi.”
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?
Lino Bayuda balambeti, “Sena layandanga kulishina, pakwambeti, ‘nkondenga, nkamwela kushikako?”
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
Yesu walabambileti, “Amwe njamwe ba pacishi capanshi pano, ame ndalafuma kwilu. Amwe mobapanshi pano, nsombi ame ntame wapacishi capanshi sobwe.
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
Weco ndalamwambilingeti. nimukafwile mubwipishi bwenu. Pakwinga na nkamulashomonga kwambeti njame wopeloyo lalyambanga, nimukafwile mubwipishi bwenu.”
25 They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.
Lino nabo balamwipusheti, “Obe njobe bani?” Yesu walambeti, “Mbuli ncondamwambilanga pakuyamba.
26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.
Nkute bingi byakwamba nebyakumomboloshelapo. Walantuma niwancine ncine, kayi nkute kwambila bantu bapanshi pano bintu mbyendalanyumfwa kulyendiye.”
27 They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.
Bantu basa baliya kwinshibeti Yesu walikwamba sha Baishi.
28 Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things.
Lino Yesu walabambileti, “Mwakantantika Mwana Muntu, popelapo nimukenshibeti njame wopeloyo lalyambanga. Nimukenshibe kwambeti nkankute kwinsa bintu pandenka, nkute kwamba ibyo Bata mbyobalanjiyisha.
29 And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.
Nsombi uyo walantuma, uli pamo nenjame. Nendi nkakute kunshiya ndenka, pakwinga cindi conse nkute kwinsa byeshi kumukondwelesha.”
30 As he spake these things, many believed on him.
Mpobalanyumfwa Yesu nkamba makani awa, bantu bangi balamushoma.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples;
Yesu walambila bantu abo balamushoma, “Na mulakonkelenga kwiyisha kwakame cindi conse, cakubinga nimube beshikwiya bakame.
32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Nimwinshibe cakubinga, kayi naco cakubinga nicikamusungululeni.”
33 They answered unto him, We be Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Nabo balambeti, “Afwe njafwe bana ba Abulahamu, kayi nkatuna tubapo basha ba muntu uliyense. Nomba aconi ulambangeti, ‘nimukasungululwe?”
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Ndamwambilinga cakubinga kwambeti muntu uliyense lenshinga bwipishi nimusha kubwipishi.
35 And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Musha nkakute kwikalisha panga'nda ya mwami wakendi cindi conse, nsombi mwinepabo. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Lino namwana lamusungululu, okwambeti mulasungululwa cancine ncine.
37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.
Ndicinshi kwambeti njamwe bana ba Abulahamu, nsombi mulayandanga kunshina, pakwinga nkamulasumininga maswi akame mumyoyo mwenu.
38 I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father.
Ame nkute kwamba ibyo mbyondalabona kuli Bata, nsombi amwe mulenshinga mbyomwalanyumfwa kuli bameshenu.”
39 They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Nabo balambeti, “Bameshetu ni Abulahamu.” Neye Yesu walabambileti, “nemuli bana ba Abulahamu, ne mulenshinga bintu mbyalikwinsa.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.
Nomba lino mulayandanga kunshina, ame ndamwambilinga makani akubinga ngondalanyumfwa kuli Lesa. Abulahamu liya kwinsapo bintu byamushobo uyu sobwe.
41 Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
Amwe mulenshinga ibyo bameshenu mbyobakute kwinsa.” Nabo balamwambileti, “ntafwe bana bamu bupombo sobwe, tukutowa mushali wetu umo, Lesa.”
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
Yesu walambeti, “Lesa nabanga mushali wenu, ne mwalansuna, pakwinga ndalafuma kuli Lesa, nomba lino ndikuno. Ndiya kwisa mungofu shakame, nsombi sha uyo walantuma.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word.
Nomba nicani nkamulanyumfunga mbyondambanga? Pakwinga nkamwela kukonsha nekunyumfwa maswi akame.
44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
Amwe mwalafuma kuli mushali wenu Satana. Pakwinga emubepeshi kayi shikushina kufuminowa cindi cakunyuma kayi, mulyendiye muliya cancine ncine sobwe. Ambanga ukute kwambowa bya mumutwi wakendi
45 But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.
Nsombi ame nkute kwamba cakubinga, weco nkamulanshomonga.
46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?
Nibani pakati penu welakumpa mulandu wabwipishi? Nipacebo cini ndamwambilanga cakubinga, nkamulashomonga?
47 He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
Muntu waLesa ukute kukutika maswi a Lesa, nomba amwe mulakananga kunyumfwa, pakwinga ntamwe bantu baLesa.”
48 The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Popelapo ba Yuda balamwipusheti, “Sena afwe nkatulambanga cakubingeti njobe wakuSamaliya, kayi wekatwa ne mushimu waipa?”
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
Yesu walambeti, “Ndiyawa mushimu waipa. Nkute kulemeka Bata, nsombi amwe nkamukute kumpa bulemu.
50 But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Nsombi nkandayandanga kulemekwa, nsombi nkwali layandangeti mpewe bulemu, kayi eukute kombolosha mubululami.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
Cakubinga ndamwambilinga muntu anyumfwa maswi akame, nteshi akafwe sobwe.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death. (aiōn g165)
Lino bantu balamwambileti, “Lino tulenshibi kwambeti ukute mushimu waipa. Abulahamu nebashinshimi bonse balafwa! Nomba obe ulambangeti muntu anyumfwa makani akobe nteshi akafwe sobwe. (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
Sena obe wapita Abulahamu mushali wetu mukulukulu nebashinshimi bonse balafwa? Nomba ulayeyengeti njobe bani?”
54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;
Yesu walambeti, “Na kandilipa bulemu, bulemubo nibwabulyo. Nomba Bata, bakute kumpa bulemu, abo nenjamwe mbomulambangeti eLesa wenu.
55 and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.
Amwe muliya kumwinshiba, nsombi ame ndimwinshi, nendalambeti nkandimwinshi nendalaba mubepeshi mbuli ncemubele. Nomba ame ndimwinshi weco nkute kunyumfwa maswi akendi.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.
Mushali wenu mukulukulu Abulahamu walikuba walasekelela kubona kwisa kwakame. Kayi walakondwa.”
57 The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Lino ba Yuda balamwipusheti, “Byaka byakobe nkabina bikwana nambi makumi asanu, ngowambaconi eti walamubona Abulahamu?”
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Yesu walambeti, “Ndamwambilinga cakubinga, Abulahamu nkatanasemwa, ndalikubapo.”
59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
Lino mpobalanyumfweco balabwesa mabwe kwambeti bamupwaye. Nsombi Yesu walasolama ne kupita mubantu nekufuma mu Nga'nda ya Lesa.
