John 8
1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Jesu avayendi kwi Lundu lya Olive.
2 Early in the morning he again went to the temple courts. All the people came, and he sat down and taught them.
Kuseni-seni avakezi kwi tempele hape, linu vantu vangi vava kezi; chi kala hansi nikuva luta.
3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought him a woman who had been caught in adultery. Making her stand before them all,
Vañoli ni ma Falisi nivaleta mwanakazi yava swalehi. Chiva muvika hakati.
4 they said to Jesus, testing him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery.
Linu chiva mucho, “Muluti, uzu mwanakazi wa swaleha.
5 In the law, Moses commanded us that such women should be stoned; what then do yoʋ say?”
Lyahanu mumulawo wetu, Mushe avatulaeli kuti vantu vena vuti vaswanela kupwacholwa ni mañomwe; uwamba nzi kuamana naye?”
6 (They said this to test him, so that they might have something to accuse him of.) But Jesus stooped down and wrote with his finger on the ground, taking no notice.
Vavawambi vulyo chokuti vawane inzila yo kumu hambiliza, kono Jesu ava sungami nikuñola hansi ni munwe wakwe.
7 When they continued asking him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him among you who is without sin throw the first stone at her.”
Hava zwila havusu kumuvuza, avazimi nikuwamba kuvali, “Iye yasena chivi kwenu, ave wentanzi kumuzinda iñomwe.”
8 And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
Hape chakotamina hansi, niku ñola hansi ni munwe wakwe.
9 When they heard this, they were convicted by their own consciences and began to go away one by one, starting with the older men. So Jesus was left alone, with the woman there before him.
Hava zuwa bulyo, chivayenda umwina ka umwina, kutangila kumu kulwana. Kuma mani mani Jesu ava shali yenke, ni mwanakazi yavena hakati.
10 Then Jesus stood up and saw no one but the woman. So he said to her, “Where are yoʋr accusers? Has no one condemned yoʋ?”
Jesu chazimana nikumuvuza, “Mwanakazi va hambilizi vako vena kuhi? Kakwina wakunyaza?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I pass judgment on yoʋ; go and sin no more.”
Cha wamba, “Kakwina Simwine.” Jesu chati, “Name kani kunyazi. Yende ukasiye kupanga chivi hape.”
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will certainly not walk in darkness, but will 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 So the Pharisees said to him, “Yoʋ are testifying about yoʋrself, so yoʋr testimony is not valid.”
Ma Falisi chiva muwambila, “Uhindite vupaki hako; vupaki vwako kena vwe niti.”
14 Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
Jesu chavetava nikuvata kuti, nanga hanilihindila vupaki vwangu, vupaki vwangu vwe niti. Nizi kunizwa ni kuni kaya, kono inwe kamwizi kunikazwa kapa kunikaya.
15 You judge according to the flesh, but I judge no one.
Muatula ke nyama; kono kakwina ini atula.
16 Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
Nanga anitula, inkatulo yangu yeniti kakuli kanikele nenke, kono nina ni Tayo yo nitumite.
17 In your own law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.
Eeye, nanga mumulao wenu kuñoletwe kuti vupaki vwa vantu vovele vwe niti.
18 I testify about myself, and the Father who sent me also testifies about me.”
Njeme nili hindila vupaki vwangu, hape Tayo yo nitumite wina vupaki vwangu.”
19 Then they said to him, “Where is yoʋr father?” Jesus answered, “You neither know me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father as well.”
Vavawambi kwali, “Iso wina kuhi?” Jesu chetava, “Kakwina imwizi ime kapa Tayo; kambe munizi, ni mweziva ni Tayo naye.”
20 (Jesus spoke these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple courts. But no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.)
avawambi aa manzwi muchivulukelo na kwete kuruta mwi tempele, mi kakwina yava musumini kakuti inako yakwe kena iveni kusika.
21 Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
Cwale hape ava wambi kuvali, “niya kungi; kamuni ngane mi kamufwile mu chivi chenu. Kuniya, kamuwoli kwiza koo.”
22 So the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means by saying, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
Ma Juda chiva wamba, “kalihaye iye mwine? chingi uwamba; Kuniya kamuwoli kuya kwateni'?”
23 He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You 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 I said to you that you will die in your sins, for if you do not believe that I am he, you will 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 said to him, “Who are yoʋ?” Jesus said to them, “Exactly what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
Chiva wamba cwale he kwako, “Njewe ni?” Jesu cha wamba kwavo, “China wamba kwenu kuma tangilo.
26 I have many things to say about you and to judge, but he who sent me is true, and I tell the world what I have heard from him.”
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 did not know that he was speaking to them about the Father.)
Kena vava zuwisisi kuti ava kuwamba kuvali ze Shetu.
28 So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own authority, but I speak these things just as my Father taught me.
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 He who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”
Iye wani tuma wina name, mi kena ni siya nenke, kakuti ni panganga chimu tavisa.”
30 As he was saying these things, many believed in him.
Sina Jesu hava kuwamba izi zintu, vangi vava zumini kwali.
31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples.
Jesu cha wamba kuvo ma Juda vava zumini kwali, “Haiva mushala mu linzwi lyangu, cwale muva rutwana vangu ve niti,
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
mi kamwizive initi, mi initi kai milukulule.”
33 They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham, and we have never been enslaved to anyone. How then can yoʋ say, ‘You will be set free’?”
chiva mwitava mwitavi, “Tuvana va Abrahama mi kena tuvavi va hikana va muntu; uwola kuwamba vule, 'ka mulukuluhe'?”
34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits 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 So if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Cwale he, haiva mwana umilukulula, ke niti ka mulukuluhe.
37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you are seeking to kill me because your hearts have no room for my word.
Nizi kuti muvana va Abrahama; mukwete kungana kunihaya kakuti linzwi kalyina chivaka mwenu.
38 I speak of what I have seen with my Father; so you also are doing what you have seen with your father.”
Ni wamba chini va voni ni Ishangu, mi mupanga chimu vazuwi kwe shenu.”
39 They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were children of Abraham, you would be doing the works of Abraham.
Chiva mwitava niku wamba, “Ishetu nji Abrahama.” Jesu cha wamba kuvali, “kape sekeli muvana va Abrahama, nimwa panga mitendo ya Abrahama.
40 But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do such a thing.
Kono, hanu musaka kuni haya, mukwame yava miwambili initi ini vaka zuwi kwe Ireeza. Abrahama kena va pangi izi.
41 You are doing the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of fornication. We have one Father—God.”
Mupanga mitendo ye Shenu,” chiva mu wambila, “Kena tuva zalwa muvuliyendezi; twina Shetu yenke: Ireeza.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come of my own accord, but he sent me.
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 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot bear to accept my word.
Chinzi hamu sa zuwisisi manzwi angu? Ivaka lyo kuti kamuwoli kuzuwa manzwi angu.
44 You belong to your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks lies, he speaks from his own character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
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 because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
Kono, kakuti ni wamba vuniti, kamu zumini.
46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I am telling the truth, why do you not believe me?
Njeni kwenu yoni hambika chivi? haiva ni wamba vuniti, chizi hamu sa zumini?
47 Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear them is because you do not belong to God.”
Iye yazwa kwe Ireeza uzuwa manzwi ee Ireeza; kamu ya zuwi kakuti ka muzwi kwali.”
48 The Jews answered him, “Do we not rightly say that yoʋ are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
Ma Juda chivetava niku mu wambila, “Kena kuti tuwamba kuti umu Samariya mi wina i dimona?”
49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
Jesu che tava, “kanina i dimona, kono ni kuteka Shangu, mi kamuni kuteki.
50 I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.
Kani ngani inkaya yangu; kwina yo ngana niku watula.
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will certainly never see death.” (aiōn g165)
Niti, niti, nimi wambila, haiva kwina yata vike linzwi lyangu, keta vone ifu.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that yoʋ have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet yoʋ say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will certainly never taste death.’ (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 Are yoʋ greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Who do yoʋ make yoʋrself out to be?”
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 who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our 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 You do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I keep his word.
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 Your father Abraham was glad that he would see my day. He saw it and rejoiced.”
Ishenu Abrahama ava sangi chokuvona izuva lyangu; ava lyivoni niku nyakalala.”
57 Then the Jews said to him, “Yoʋ are not yet fifty years old, and yoʋ have seen Abraham?”
Ma Juda vava wambi kwali, “kawini kukwanisa makumi akwana iyanza ezilimo, mi muva voni Abrahama?”
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”
Jesu chava wambila, “Niti, niti, nimi wambila, Abrahama naseni, Njeme.”
59 So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple grounds. And passing through the crowd, he walked away.
Cwale chiva tola mabwe niku musoholera kono Jesu cha lipata nikuzwa mwi tempele.
