John 8
1 but, Jesus, went unto the Mount of Olives.
Jesu avayendi kwi Lundu lya Olive.
2 And, early in the morning, again, came he into the temple, and all the people were coming unto him; and, sitting down, he began to teach them.
Kuseni-seni avakezi kwi tempele hape, linu vantu vangi vava kezi; chi kala hansi nikuva luta.
3 And the Scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman, caught, in adultery; and, setting her in the midst,
Vañoli ni ma Falisi nivaleta mwanakazi yava swalehi. Chiva muvika hakati.
4 they say unto him—Teacher! this woman, hath been caught in the very act of committing adultery!
Linu chiva mucho, “Muluti, uzu mwanakazi wa swaleha.
5 Now, in the law, Moses, [unto us] gave command to stone, such as these. What, then, dost, thou, say?
Lyahanu mumulawo wetu, Mushe avatulaeli kuti vantu vena vuti vaswanela kupwacholwa ni mañomwe; uwamba nzi kuamana naye?”
6 [This, however, they were saying, by way of testing him, —that they might have whereof to accuse him.] But, Jesus, stooping down, with his finger, wrote in the ground.
Vavawambi vulyo chokuti vawane inzila yo kumu hambiliza, kono Jesu ava sungami nikuñola hansi ni munwe wakwe.
7 When, however, they still continued questioning him, he lifted himself up and said [unto them]—He of you, that is without sin, let him first cast at her a stone;
Hava zwila havusu kumuvuza, avazimi nikuwamba kuvali, “Iye yasena chivi kwenu, ave wentanzi kumuzinda iñomwe.”
8 and, again stooping down, he wrote in the ground.
Hape chakotamina hansi, niku ñola hansi ni munwe wakwe.
9 And, they who heard, began to go out, one by one, beginning from the elders, —and he was left, alone; the woman also, being, in the midst.
Hava zuwa bulyo, chivayenda umwina ka umwina, kutangila kumu kulwana. Kuma mani mani Jesu ava shali yenke, ni mwanakazi yavena hakati.
10 And lifting himself up, Jesus said unto her—Woman, where are they? Hath, no one, condemned thee?
Jesu chazimana nikumuvuza, “Mwanakazi va hambilizi vako vena kuhi? Kakwina wakunyaza?”
11 And, she, said—No one, Sir! And Jesus said—Neither do, I, condemn thee, —be going thy way: Henceforth, be sinning, no more.
Cha wamba, “Kakwina Simwine.” Jesu chati, “Name kani kunyazi. Yende ukasiye kupanga chivi hape.”
12 Again, therefore, unto them, spake Jesus, saying—I, am the light of the world: He that followeth me, shall in nowise walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Hape Jesu avawambi kuvali kuta kuti, “Njeme niseli lwe nkanda; iye yoni chilila kete ayende mukansikwe kono mwave niseli lyo vuhalo.”
13 The Pharisees, therefore, said unto him—Thou, concerning thyself, bearest witness: thy witness, is not true.
Ma Falisi chiva muwambila, “Uhindite vupaki hako; vupaki vwako kena vwe niti.”
14 Jesus answered, and said unto them—Even though, I, bear witness concerning myself, true, is my witness, because I know whence I came, and whither I go; but, ye, know not whence I come, and whither I go.
Jesu chavetava nikuvata kuti, nanga hanilihindila vupaki vwangu, vupaki vwangu vwe niti. Nizi kunizwa ni kuni kaya, kono inwe kamwizi kunikazwa kapa kunikaya.
15 Ye, according to the flesh, do judge: I, am judging no one.
Muatula ke nyama; kono kakwina ini atula.
16 And, even if, I, am judging, my judging, is, genuine, —because, alone, am I not, but, I, and the Father who sent me;
Nanga anitula, inkatulo yangu yeniti kakuli kanikele nenke, kono nina ni Tayo yo nitumite.
17 And, in your own law, it is written, that, two men’s witness, is, true:
Eeye, nanga mumulao wenu kuñoletwe kuti vupaki vwa vantu vovele vwe niti.
18 I, am the one bearing witness of myself, and the Father who sent me is bearing witness concerning me.
Njeme nili hindila vupaki vwangu, hape Tayo yo nitumite wina vupaki vwangu.”
19 They were saying unto him, therefore—Where, is thy father? Jesus answered—Neither, me, do ye know, nor yet my Father: If, me, ye had known, my Father also, had ye known.
Vavawambi kwali, “Iso wina kuhi?” Jesu chetava, “Kakwina imwizi ime kapa Tayo; kambe munizi, ni mweziva ni Tayo naye.”
20 These sayings, spake he in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and yet, no one, seized him, because, not yet, had come his hour.
avawambi aa manzwi muchivulukelo na kwete kuruta mwi tempele, mi kakwina yava musumini kakuti inako yakwe kena iveni kusika.
21 He said unto them again, therefore—I, go, and ye shall seek me, —and yet, in your sin, shall ye die: Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come.
Cwale hape ava wambi kuvali, “niya kungi; kamuni ngane mi kamufwile mu chivi chenu. Kuniya, kamuwoli kwiza koo.”
22 The Jews, therefore, were saying—Can it be that he will kill himself, that he saith, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come?
Ma Juda chiva wamba, “kalihaye iye mwine? chingi uwamba; Kuniya kamuwoli kuya kwateni'?”
23 And he was saying unto them—Ye, are, of the realms below, I, am, of the realms above: Ye, are, of this world, I, am not of this world.
Jesu cha wamba kuvali, “uzwa ku nsi; nizwa kwi wulu. Uwe nkanda iyi; ime kena niwe nkanda iyi.
24 Therefore said I unto you, Ye shall die in your sins: For, if ye believe not that, I, am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Cwale he, na miwambila kuti kamufwile mu zivi zenu. Haisi hachi mwa zumina kuti Ime Njime, ka mufwe muzivi zenu.”
25 They were saying unto him, therefore—Who art, thou? Jesus said unto them—First and foremost, even what I speak unto you.
Chiva wamba cwale he kwako, “Njewe ni?” Jesu cha wamba kwavo, “China wamba kwenu kuma tangilo.
26 Many things, have I, concerning you, to speak, and to judge; but, he who sent me, is, true, and, I, what things I heard from him, the same, speak I unto the world.
Nina zintu zingi zo kuwamba ni kuwatula kwenu. Nihakuva bulyo, iye wani tuma we niti; mi zintu zina zuwa kwali, izi zintu ni wamba kwi nkanda.”
27 They noted not that, as touching the Father, unto them, he was speaking.
Kena vava zuwisisi kuti ava kuwamba kuvali ze Shetu.
28 Jesus, therefore, said—Whensoever ye shall lift up the Son of Man, then, shall ye know, that, I, am he, and, of myself, am doing, nothing; but, just as the Father taught me, the same things, am I speaking.
Jesu cha wamba, “Hamumana kunyamuna mwana Muntu, cwale mumwizive kuti Njeme, mi kakwina zangu zini lipangila. Sina ishangu mwava ni rutili, ni wamba izi zintu.
29 And, he that sent me, is, with me: He hath not left me, alone. Because, I, the things that please him, ever do.
Iye wani tuma wina name, mi kena ni siya nenke, kakuti ni panganga chimu tavisa.”
30 As he was speaking these things, many, believed on him.
Sina Jesu hava kuwamba izi zintu, vangi vava zumini kwali.
31 Jesus was saying, therefore, unto the Jews who had believed on him—If, ye, abide in my word, of a truth, my disciples, ye are;
Jesu cha wamba kuvo ma Juda vava zumini kwali, “Haiva mushala mu linzwi lyangu, cwale muva rutwana vangu ve niti,
32 And ye shall know the truth, and, the truth, shall make you free.
mi kamwizive initi, mi initi kai milukulule.”
33 They made answer unto him—Seed of Abraham, are we, and, unto no one, have been brought into bondage, at any time: How sayest, thou, Free, shall ye be made?
chiva mwitava mwitavi, “Tuvana va Abrahama mi kena tuvavi va hikana va muntu; uwola kuwamba vule, 'ka mulukuluhe'?”
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you: Every one who committeth sin, is, a slave, [of sin: ]
Jesu cha vetava, “Niti, niti, nimi wambila, yense yo tenda chivi muhikana we chivi.
Muhikana ke kalilili mwizuvo kuya kwile; mwana wi kalilila. (aiōn g165)
36 If then, the Son, shall make you free, really free, shall ye be.
Cwale he, haiva mwana umilukulula, ke niti ka mulukuluhe.
37 I know that ye are, seed of Abraham; but ye are seeking to kill me, because, my word, findeth no place in you.
Nizi kuti muvana va Abrahama; mukwete kungana kunihaya kakuti linzwi kalyina chivaka mwenu.
38 What things, I, have seen with the Father, I am speaking; Ye, also, then, what things ye have heard from your father, are doing.—
Ni wamba chini va voni ni Ishangu, mi mupanga chimu vazuwi kwe shenu.”
39 They answered and said unto him—Our father, is, Abraham. Jesus saith unto them—If, children of Abraham, ye are, the works of Abraham, are ye doing.
Chiva mwitava niku wamba, “Ishetu nji Abrahama.” Jesu cha wamba kuvali, “kape sekeli muvana va Abrahama, nimwa panga mitendo ya Abrahama.
40 But, now, ye are seeking, to kill me, —A man who, the truth, unto you, hath spoken, which I have heard from God: this, Abraham, did not.
Kono, hanu musaka kuni haya, mukwame yava miwambili initi ini vaka zuwi kwe Ireeza. Abrahama kena va pangi izi.
41 Ye, are doing the works of your father. They said unto him—We, of fornication, were not born: One father, have we—God.
Mupanga mitendo ye Shenu,” chiva mu wambila, “Kena tuva zalwa muvuliyendezi; twina Shetu yenke: Ireeza.”
42 Jesus said unto them—If, God, had been your father, ye had been loving me, for, I, from God, came forth, and am here; for, not even of myself, have I come, but, he, sent me forth.
Jesu cha wamba kuvali, “Haiva kape Ireeza nji Ishenu, nimwani saka, kaho nikazwa kwe Ireeza mi imozu; kaho kena niva kezi ka lwangu, kono ava ni tumi.
43 Wherefore, is it, that, my speech, ye do not understand? because ye cannot hear my word.
Chinzi hamu sa zuwisisi manzwi angu? Ivaka lyo kuti kamuwoli kuzuwa manzwi angu.
44 Ye, are, of your father—the adversary, and, the covetings of your father, ye choose to be doing. He, was, a murderer, from the beginning, and, in the truth, he stood not; because truth is not in him: Whensoever he speaketh falsehood, of his own, he speaketh; because, false, he is, and, the father of it.
Muve shenu, iye dyavulusi, mi musaka ku panga intato ze shenu. Ivali chihayi kuma tangilo mi kazimani he niti kakuti kakwina vuniti mwali. Hawamba vupono, uwamba cho mukwa wakwe ni isi wai zwile mapa.
45 But, as for me, because, the truth, I speak, ye do not believe me.
Kono, kakuti ni wamba vuniti, kamu zumini.
46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? If, truth, I speak, wherefore, do, ye, not believe me?
Njeni kwenu yoni hambika chivi? haiva ni wamba vuniti, chizi hamu sa zumini?
47 He that is of God, heareth, the sayings of God; therefore, do, ye, not hear, because, of God, ye are not.
Iye yazwa kwe Ireeza uzuwa manzwi ee Ireeza; kamu ya zuwi kakuti ka muzwi kwali.”
48 The Jews answered, and said unto him—Do, we, not, well, say: Thou, art, a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
Ma Juda chivetava niku mu wambila, “Kena kuti tuwamba kuti umu Samariya mi wina i dimona?”
49 Jesus answered—I, have not, a demon, but honour my Father: and, ye, dishonour me.
Jesu che tava, “kanina i dimona, kono ni kuteka Shangu, mi kamuni kuteki.
50 But, I, seek not my glory: There is one who seeketh and judgeth.
Kani ngani inkaya yangu; kwina yo ngana niku watula.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you: If anyone shall keep, my word, death, shall he not see, unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
Niti, niti, nimi wambila, haiva kwina yata vike linzwi lyangu, keta vone ifu.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews said unto him—Now, we know that, a demon, thou hast: —Abraham, died, and, the prophets, and yet, thou, sayest: If anyone shall keep, my word, in nowise shall he taste of death, unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
Ma Juda vava wambi kwakwe, “Hanu twizi kuti wina i dimona. Abrahama nima porofita vavafwi; kono iwe uwamba, 'haiva kwina yata vike linzwi lyangu, keta zuwe ifu.' (aiōn g165)
53 Surely, thou, art not, greater, than our father Abraham, —who, indeed, died? and, the prophets, died: —Whom, makest thou thyself?
Kena umukando kuhata ishetu Abrahama yava fwii, vule? Ma porofita navo vavafwi. Uhupula kuti njewe ni?”
54 Jesus answered—If, I, glorify myself, my glory, is nothing: It is, my Father, that glorifieth me, —of whom, ye, say—He is, your God!
Jesu che tava, “haiva nili nyamuna ime ni mwine, inkanya yangu kahena; nji Isi wangu yoni nyamuna-koo imuwamba kuti nji Ireeza wenu.
55 And yet ye have not come to know him; but, I, do know him: If I say, I know him not, I shall be like you—false; but I know him, and, his word, am I keeping.
Ihati mwa mwiziva, kono ni mwizi. Haiva ni wola kuwamba, 'kani mwizi; kani swane sina njenwe, ihata. Nihakuva bulyo, ni mwizi nikuvika linzwi lyakwe.
56 Abraham, your father, exulted that he should see my day; and he saw, and rejoiced.
Ishenu Abrahama ava sangi chokuvona izuva lyangu; ava lyivoni niku nyakalala.”
57 The Jews, therefore, said unto him—Fifty years old, not yet art thou, and, Abraham, hast thou seen?
Ma Juda vava wambi kwali, “kawini kukwanisa makumi akwana iyanza ezilimo, mi muva voni Abrahama?”
58 Jesus said unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Before, Abraham, came into existence, I, am.
Jesu chava wambila, “Niti, niti, nimi wambila, Abrahama naseni, Njeme.”
59 They took up stones, therefore, that they might cast at him; but, Jesus, was hidden, and went forth out of the temple.
Cwale chiva tola mabwe niku musoholera kono Jesu cha lipata nikuzwa mwi tempele.
