John 8
1 And Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
Jesu wakaya kuchilundu cha Oliva.
2 And in the morning he came again to the temple; and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
Chifumofumo wakaya ku tempele lubo, eelyo bantu boonse bakasika; wakakkala aansi akubayiisya.
3 And the Scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman that was caught in adultery. And when they had placed her in the midst,
Balembi bamulawu abaFalisi bakeeta mukayintu wakajatwa nkalookuchita bumambe. Bakamubika aakati.
4 they say to him: Teacher, this woman was caught openly in the act of adultery.
Mpawo bakati kulinguwe, “Muyiisi, ooyu mwanakaziwajatwa kalikuchita bumambe.
5 And in the law of Moses, God hath commanded us to stone such persons. What therefore dost thou say?
Lino mumulawu, Mozesi wakatulayilila kuti bantu baliboobu tubatulule mabwe; iwe utyeni aatala anguwe?”
6 And this they said, tempting him, so that they might have ground to accuse him. But Jesus having stooped down, was writing on the ground.
Bakaamba eezi kuchitila kuti bamupe mulandu anzizyo, pesi Jesu wakakotama walemba aansi amunwe wakwe.
7 And as they continued asking him, he straightened himself up, and said to them: Whoever among you is without sin, let him first cast a stone at her.
Nibakiinkilila aanembo akumubuzya mibuzyo, wakanyampuka akubaambila kuti, “Ooyo utakwe chibi aakati kenu, ngabe mutanzi kutulula mwanakazi ooyu ibbwe.”
8 And, having again stooped down, he wrote on the ground.
Wakakotama aansi lubo, akulemba aanyika amunwe wakwe.
9 And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning with the older; and the woman was left, alone where she had stood in the midst.
Nibakamvwa eezi bakeenda umwi awumwi, kutalika aamupati. Kumamanino Jesu wakasyaala aalike, nkali aamwanakazi ngubakabikide aakati.
10 And when Jesus had straightened himself up, he said to the woman: Where are they? Doth no one condemn thee?
Jesu wakanyampuka akumwaambila kuti, “Yoo mwanakazi, mbali basikukupa mulandu? Takwe muntu wajana mulandu na mulinduwe?”
11 And she said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither do I condemn thee. Go thou, and henceforth sin no more.
Wakati, “Takwe, nikuba womwe Mwaami.” Jesu wakati, “Ambebo nsikupi mulandu. Koya alimwi utakabisyi limbi.”]
12 And Jesus again conversed with them, and said: I am the light of the world: he that cometh to me, will not walk in darkness; but will find for himself the light of life.
Alimwi Jesu wakaambuula aabo nkati, “Ndili mumuni wanyika; ooyo unditobela takoyoyenda mumudima pesi uyooba aamumuni wabuumi.”
13 The Pharisees said to him: Thou bearest witness of thyself, thy testimony is not certain.
Ba Falisi bakati kulinguwe, “Ulipeda bukamboni nomwini, bukamboni bwako tabusinizizye pe.”
14 Jesus answered and said to them: Although I bear witness of myself, my testimony is certain, because I know whence I came, and whither I go. But ye do not know, whence I came, and whither I go.
Jesu wakabasandula akwaamba kuti kulimbabo, “Nekuba kuti ndipa bukamboni bwangu ndemwini, bukamboni bwangu bulisinizizye. Ndilikwizi nkundakazwa ankwenjobuya.
15 Ye judge according to the flesh: I judge no one.
Mubeteka chanyama; Ime nsibeteki muntu pe.
16 Yet if I Judge, my judgment is certain, because I am not alone, but I and my Father who sent me.
Nikuba kuti ndabeteka, kubeteka kwangu kulisinizizye nkaambo nsili aandike pe, pesi ndili aaTaata wakandituma.
17 And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two persons is certain.
Iyii, alimwi mumulawu wenu kulilembedwe kuti bukamboni bwabantu babili bulisinizizye.
18 I am one: who bear witness of myself, and my Father who sent me, beareth witness of me.
Ndili ooyo uulungulula bukamboni aatala alwangu, eelyo Taata wakandituma upeda bukamboni aatala andime.”
19 They say to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus replied, and said to them: Ye neither know me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would also have known my Father.
Bakati kulinguwe, “Ulikuli wuso?” Jesu wakasandula, “Takwe ngomuzi imebo na Taata; kansinga mwalindiz, mwalikunomuziba Taata alakwe.”
20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no one laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
Aaya majwi wakaamba muchibambalilo nkali kuyiisya mutempele pesi takwe muntu wakamusunga nkaambo chiindi chakwe techakalinaakkwana pe.
21 Again Jesus said to them: I go away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins. And whither I go, ye cannot come.
Aawo wakabaambila lubo kuti, “Ndiyobwiinka, muyondiyanduula eelyo muyofwa muzibi zyanu. Ooko nkweya, tamukonzyi kusika pe.”
22 The Jews said: Is he about to kill himself, that he should say, Whither I go ye cannot come?
Ba Juda bakati, “Mpo ulalijaya na? Nchenchicho na mpo nchati, 'Nkweya tamuyosika?”
23 And he said to them: Ye are from below, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Muli baansi; Imebo ndiwakujulu. Muli banyika eeyi; Mebo nsili wenyika eeyi pe.
24 I said to you, That ye will die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am he, ye will die in your sins.
Akaako ndakamwaambila kuti muyoofwa muzibi zyabo. Ado do mane musyome kuti NDIME, muyoofwa muzibi zyenu.”
25 The Jews said to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: Although I have begun to converse with you,
Bakati kulinguwe, ikuti kuliboobo, “Nduweni?” Jesu wakabaambila kuti, “Nzindamwaambila kuzwa kumatalikilo.
26 I have yet many things to say and to Judge concerning you. But he that sent me is true: and the things which I have heard from him, them I speak in the world.
Ndili aazintu zyiingi zyakwaamba azyakubeteka aatala andinywe. Nikubaboobo, ooyo wakandituma ulisinizizye; mpawo zintu nzyemvwa kuzwa kulinguwe, nzyezintu nzyewamba kunyika.”
27 And they did not know, that he spake to them of the Father.
Tensi bakamvwisisisya pe kuti wakalikwaambula aatala aTaata.
28 Jesus said to them again: When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then will ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing from my own pleasure, but as my Father taught me, so I speak.
Jesu wakati, “Aawo mwayoonyampula Mwana waMuntu, mpempawo mpomuyooziba kuti NDIME, akuti nsichiti chintu alwangu. Mbubo Taata mbwakandiyiisya me, mbubo bewamba zintu eezi.
29 And he that sent me, is with me; and my Father hath not left me alone, because I do, at all times, that which pleaseth him.
Ooyo wakandituma uli aandime, mpawo tandisiide andiike pe, nkaambo ndichita zintu zimukonda chiindi choonse.
30 And when he had spoken these things, many believed on him.
Nkachaambula zintu eezi Jesu, bantu biingi bakasyoma mulinguwe.
31 And Jesus said to those Jews who believed on him: If ye continue in my word, ye will be truly my disciples.
Jesu wakati kuma Juda ibakali bamusyoma, “Na mwakkalilila mujwi lyangu, muyooba basikwiiya bangu basinizizye,
32 And ye will know the truth; and the truth will make you free.
alimwi muyoziba kasimpe, eelyo kasimpe kayoomwaangununa.”
33 They say to him: We are the seed of Abraham, and never were in servitude to any man; and how sayest thou, Ye will be freemen?
Bakamusandula, “Tulizyalane lya Abbulahamu mpawo tatunaaba bazike bamuntu pe; waambilaaaloi kuti, 'Muyowangununwa'?”
34 Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, That whoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
Jesu wakabasandula, “Nchobeni, nchobeni, ndamwaambila kuti, ooyo woonse uchita chibi muzike wachibi.
Muzike takkalilili mun'anda kwalyoonse; mwana ulakkalilila chalyoonse. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will really be free men.
Akaako, na Mwana wakwaangununa, ulaangunuka cha nchobeni.
37 I know that ye are the children of Abraham; but ye seek to kill me, because ye do not acquiesce in my word.
Ndilizizi kuti muli zyalane lya Abbulahamu; muyandula kundijaya nkaambo ijwi lyangu talikwe busena mulindinywe.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father, and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Ndiwamba nzindakabona kuli Taata, alimwi andinywe muchite nzimwakamvwa kuli wuso wanu.”
39 They answered, and said to him: Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them: If ye were children of Abraham, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Bakamusandula alimwi bakati kulinguwe, “Taata wesu ngu Abbulahamu.” Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Na mwali bana ba Abbulahamu, nimunga muchita milimu ya Abbulahamu.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
Pesi, lino muyanduula kundijaya, muntu wamwaambila kasimpe nkendakamvwa kuli Leza. Abbulahamu takwe nakachita eechi.
41 But ye do the works of your father. They say to him: We are not the offspring of whoredom; we have one Father, God.
Muchita milimu yawuso wenu.” Bakati kulinguwe, “Tetwakazyalilwa mubwamu pe; tuli aaTaata omwe: Leza.”
42 Jesus said to them: If God were your Father, ye would love me; for I proceeded and came from God: I did not come of my own accord, but he sent me.
Jesu wakabaambila wakati, “Kaansinga Leza ngu Wuso wenu, mwalikunondiyanda, nkaambo ndakazwa kuli Leza mpawo ndili aano; nkaambo nsilizidilide pe ndemwini, pesi wakandituma.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? It is because ye cannot hear my speech.
Nkaambonzi nimutamvwisisisyi majwi aangu? Kuli oobu nkaambo tamukonzyi kumvwa majwi aangu.
44 Ye are of your father, the calumniator; and the lust of your father ye are disposed to do. He was from the beginning a manslayer, and abode not in the truth; for the truth is not in him, and when he speaketh a lie he speaketh from himself, for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Muli bawuso wenu, dyabbulosi, alimwi mukanza kuchita ziyandisyo zyawuso. Wakali mujayi kuzwa kumatangunino mpawo tayiimvwi muchisinizyo nkaambo takwe kusinizya mulinguwe. Aawo nawamba zyakubeja, uwamba kazizwa mubube bwakwe mwini nkaambo mubeji alimwi ngowisi wabubeji.
45 But me, because I speak the truth, ye believe me not.
Eelyo, nkaambo ndiwamba lusinizyo, tamundisyomi pe.
46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Ngwani aakati kenu uundipa mulandu wachibi? Kuti ndaamba lusinizyo, nkambooyi nimutandisyomi?
47 He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
Muntu waLeza woonse ulaamvwa majwi aa Leza; tamwaamvwi nkaambo tamuli ba Leza.”
48 The Jews answered, and said to him: Did we not well say, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
Ba Juda bakamusandula alimwi bakati kulinguwe, “Nchoonzyo tatwaambi kuti uli mu Samaliya na akuti uli aadayimona?”
49 Jesus said to them: I have no demon: but I honor God; and ye contemn me.
Jesu wakasandula, “Nsikwe dayimona pe, pesi ndilemya Taata wangu, alimwi inywe mulanduubawulusya.
50 But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh it, and judgeth.
Nsilanguuli bulemu bwangu ndemwini; kuli uumwi uuyandula akubeteka.
Chobeni, nchobeni, ndamwaambila, na umwi wabamba ijwi lyangu, takoyoobona lufu.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews say to him: Now we know, that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; yet thou sayest: He that keepeth my word, will never taste death. (aiōn g165)
Ma Juda bakati kulinguwe, “Lino twaziba kuti uli aadayimona. Abbulahamu abasinsimi bakafwa; pesi wamba kuti, 'Na umwi wabamba ijwi lyangu, takoyoolabila lufu.' (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham who is dead, or than the prophets who died? What dost thou make thyself?
Toli mupati pe kwiinda taata Abbulahamu wakafwa, ulimupati na? Basinsimi abalabo bakafwa. Ulichita ani?”
54 Jesus said to them: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say, He is our God.
Jesu wakasandula, “Kuti nkelipa bulemu ndemwini, bulemu bwangu mbwabuyo; ngu Taata undilemya - ooyo ngumuti ngu Leza wanu.
55 And ye know him not. But I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar, like you: but I do know him, and I observe his word.
Tamunaamuziba pe, pesi ndilimwizi. Kuti ndati, 'Nsimwizi, ndilaba mbuli ndinyw, mubeji. Nikuba boobo, ndimwizi alimwi ndilabamba ijwi lyakwe.
56 Abraham your father desired to see my day: and he saw it, and rejoiced.
Wuso wenu Abbulahamu wakabotelwa kubamba izuba lyangu; waklibona alimwi wakabotelwa.”
57 The Jews say to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
BamaJuda bakati kulinguwe, “Tonaakuba aaminyaka ili makkumi musanu pe, mpawo wakamubona Abbulahamu?”
58 Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, That before Abraham existed, I was.
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Nchobeni, nchobeni, ndamwaambila Abbulahamu nkatanaaba, NDIME.”
59 And they took up stones to stone him. But Jesus concealed himself, and went out of the temple, and passed along among them, and went away.
Mpawo bakabweza mabwe kuti bamutulule, pesi Jesu wakayuba akuzwa aanze kwe tempele.
