< John 7 >

1 After those things happened, Jesus went around in Galilee [province]. He did not want to travel in Judea [province], because he knew that the Jewish [leaders there] were wanting to kill him.
Goude an traoù-se, Jezuz a valee dre C'halilea, rak ne felle ket dezhañ chom e Judea, abalamour ma klaske ar Yuzevien e lazhañ.
2 But when the time of the Jewish celebration [called] ‘Celebration of [Living in] Shelters’ was near,
Met, gouel ar Yuzevien, galvet an Teltennoù, a dostae.
3 Jesus’ [younger] brothers said to him, “[Since many people] here [have left you], you should leave and go to Judea [province and perform] some miracles there, so that your disciples may see them!
E vreudeur a lavaras dezhañ: Kae ac'han, ha kae e Judea, evit ma welo ivez da ziskibien an oberoù a rez.
4 No one who wants to become famous does things secretly. [You say] you are doing these miracles, [so do some miracles there] so that everyone [MTY] can see them!”
Rak den ne ra netra e-kuzh, pa glask bezañ anavezet. Mar rez an traoù-se, en em ziskouez da-unan d'ar bed.
5 [They said this critically], because even [though they were] his own [younger] brothers, they did not believe he [was from God].
Rak e vreudeur memes ne gredent ket ennañ.
6 So Jesus said to them, “It is not yet time for me [MTY] [to go to the celebration]. For you, any time is right [to go to the celebration].
Jezuz a lavaras dezho: Va amzer n'eo ket c'hoazh deuet; met hoc'h amzer-hu a zo atav deuet.
7 [The people] [MTY] [who] ([do not believe in me/do not belong to God]) cannot hate you, but they hate me because I tell them that what they are doing is evil.
Ar bed ne c'hell ket ho kasaat; met kasaat a ra ac'hanon, abalamour ma roan testeni anezhañ, penaos eo fall e oberoù.
8 You [(pl)] go ahead to the celebration. I am not going up [to Jerusalem] to the celebration [yet], because now is not the right time for me [to go].”
Evidoc'h-c'hwi, pignit d'ar gouel-mañ; evidon-me, ne bignin ket c'hoazh dezhañ, rak va amzer n'eo ket c'hoazh deuet.
9 After he said that, Jesus stayed [a little longer] in Galilee.
Hag o vezañ lavaret kement-se dezho, e chomas e Galilea.
10 However, [a few days] after his younger brothers left to go up to the celebration, he went also. He went, along with [us] disciples, but no others went with us.
Met, pa voe aet e vreudeur, e pignas ivez d'ar gouel, neket a-wel d'an holl, met evel e-kuzh.
11 At the celebration, the Jewish [leaders] were looking for him. They were asking people, “Has Jesus come?”
Ar Yuzevien eta a glaske anezhañ e-pad ar gouel, hag a lavare: Pelec'h emañ?
12 Among the crowds, many people were whispering about Jesus. Some were saying, “He is a good man!” But others were saying instead, “No! He is deceiving the crowds!”
Hag e voe ur brud diwar e benn e-touez ar bobl. Darn a lavare: Un den mat eo; ha darn all a lavare: Nann, met touellañ a ra ar bobl.
13 But no one was speaking so that others could hear them, because they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
Koulskoude, den ne gomze frank anezhañ, gant aon rak ar Yuzevien.
14 In the middle of the days of the celebration, Jesus went to the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach people.
War-dro hanter ar gouel, Jezuz a bignas en templ, hag a gelenne.
15 The Jewish [elders] were amazed [at what he was saying]. They said, “This man never studied [in one of our religious schools]! So (how can he have learned [so much about Scripture]?/it is difficult for us to believe that he has learned [so much about Scripture]!) [RHQ]”
Ar Yuzevien a oa souezhet hag a lavare: Penaos ec'h anavez an den-mañ ar skriturioù, o vezañ n'en deus ket o desket?
16 Jesus replied to them, “What I teach does not come from myself. It comes from [God], the one who sent me.
Jezuz a respontas dezho: Va c'helennadurezh n'eo ket ac'hanon, met eus an hini en deus va c'haset.
17 Those who choose to do what God wants will find out whether what I teach comes from God or whether I am speaking with [only] my own [authority].
Mar fell da unan bennak ober bolontez Doue, ec'h anavezo hag-eñ eo va c'helennadurezh eus Doue, pe ha me a gomz ac'hanon va-unan.
18 Those who speak with [only] their own [authority] do that [only] so that others will honor them. But I am [doing things so that others] will honor the one who sent me, and I am someone who speaks the truth. I never lie.
An hini a gomz anezhañ e-unan, a glask e c'hloar e-unan; met an hini a glask gloar an hini en deus e gaset, a dle bezañ kredet, ha n'eus ket a zireizhder ennañ.
19 [Think about] the laws that Moses gave you [RHQ]. None of you [completely] obeys those laws. So why are you trying to kill me, [saying I do not obey the laws concerning] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest])?”
N'en deus ket Moizez roet al lezenn deoc'h? Hag hini ac'hanoc'h ne vir anezhi. Perak e klaskit va lazhañ?
20 Someone in the crowd answered, “[By saying this you show that] you are crazy (OR, A demon is controlling you)! Certainly no one is trying to kill you!”
Ar bobl a respontas dezhañ: Un diaoul ac'h eus; piv eo an hini a glask da lazhañ?
21 Jesus replied to them, “Because I did a miracle [of healing someone] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), you are all shocked.
Jezuz a respontas hag a lavaras dezho: Un oberenn am eus graet, hag oc'h holl souezhet a gement-se.
22 Moses gave you [a law that you must] circumcise [the male children and that you must do that exactly seven days after they are born. Actually], it was your ancestors, [Abraham and Isaac and Jacob], not Moses, who [started that ritual]. But because of that law, you sometimes circumcise them (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), [but that is working, too]
Moizez en deus gourc'hemennet deoc'h an amdroc'h (n'eo ket ma teu eus Moizez, met eus an Tadoù), ha c'hwi a amdroc'h un den deiz ar sabad.
23 You [sometimes] circumcise boys (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) so that the law of Moses is not disobeyed {[you] do not disobey the law of Moses}, so (it is ridiculous that you are angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man!/why are you angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man?) [RHQ] [Healing someone is far more helpful than circumcising a baby boy]!
Mar bez amdroc'het un den deiz ar sabad, evit na vo ket torret lezenn Voizez, perak en em fulorit a-enep ac'hanon abalamour ma em eus yac'haet un den penn-da-benn deiz ar sabad?
24 Stop deciding whether my healing this man is wrong according to what you see! Instead, decide according to what is really the right action [to help people]”!
Na varnit ket hervez an doare, met barnit hervez ar reizhder.
25 Some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, “(This is the man that they are trying to kill!/Isn’t this the man that they are trying to kill?) [RHQ]
Hag ur re bennak eus Jeruzalem a lavare: n'eo ket an hini a glasker da lakaat da vervel?
26 He is saying these things (publicly/in front of many people), but our [Jewish] rulers are not saying anything to [oppose] him. Is that because they have decided that he is truly (the Messiah/God’s chosen king)?
Ha setu aze e komz frank, ha ne lavarer netra dezhañ. Ar mestroù, hag anavezet o defe ez eo e gwirionez ar C'hrist?
27 But [he cannot be the Messiah, because] we know where this man came from. When the Messiah really comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
Koulskoude, ni a oar a-belec'h eo hemañ; e-lec'h pa zeuio ar C'hrist, den n'anavezo a-belec'h eo.
28 [They said that because they thought Jesus was born in Nazareth]. So while Jesus was teaching [people] in the Temple [courtyard], he shouted, “Yes, [you say that] you know me, and [you think] you know [IRO] where I am from. But I have come here not (because I appointed myself/with my own authority). Instead, [God] is the one who truly sent me. You do not know him.
Ha Jezuz a grie en templ eta, o kelenn, hag o lavarout: C'hwi a anavez ac'hanon, hag ec'h ouzoc'h a-belec'h on. N'on ket deuet ac'hanon va-unan, met an hini en deus va c'haset a zo gwirion, ha c'hwi n'anavezit ket anezhañ.
29 But I know him, because I have come from him. He is the one who sent me!”
Me a anavez anezhañ, rak dont a ran eus e berzh, hag eñ eo en deus va c'haset.
30 Then they tried to seize him [because he said that he had come from God]. But no one put their hands on him [to do that], because it was not yet the time [MTY] [for him to die].
Klask a raent kregiñ ennañ; met den ne grede lakaat e zorn warnañ, abalamour e eur ne oa ket c'hoazh deuet.
31 But many of the crowd believed that he [had come from God]. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he certainly will not do more miracles than this man has done, will he?”
Koulskoude, kalz eus ar bobl a gredas ennañ, hag a lavare: Pa zeuio ar C'hrist, hag ober a raio brasoc'h mirakloù eget ma ra hemañ?
32 The Pharisees heard them whispering these things about him. So they and the chief priests sent some Temple guards to seize him.
Ar farizianed, o vezañ klevet ar pezh a lavare ar bobl anezhañ e-kuzh, a gasas, a-unvan gant ar veleien vras, serjanted evit kregiñ ennañ.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you for only a short time. Then I will return to the one who sent me.
Setu perak Jezuz a lavaras dezho: Me a zo ganeoc'h c'hoazh evit un nebeut amzer, ha mont a ran da gavout an hini en deus va c'haset;
34 Then you will search for me, but you will not find me. And you will not be able to come to the place where I am.”
klask a reot ac'hanon, ha ne'm c'havot ket; ha c'hwi, ne c'hellit ket dont e-lec'h ma'z on.
35 So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to themselves, “Where is this man about to go with the result that we will not be able to find him? [Some Jewish people have] dispersed [and live] among Greek people. He is not intending to go [and live among them] and teach them, is he?
Ar Yuzevien eta a lavare etrezo: Pelec'h ez aio, na c'hellimp ket kavout anezhañ? Mont a raio etrezek ar re a zo strewet e-touez ar C'hresianed, ha kelenn a raio ar C'hresianed?
36 When he said ‘You will search for me, but you will not be able to find me,’ and when he said ‘You will not be able to come to the place where I am,’ what [did he mean]?”
Petra eo ar pezh en deus lavaret: C'hwi am c'hlasko, ha ne'm c'havot ket; ha c'hwi ne c'hellit ket dont e-lec'h ma'z on?
37 [On each of the seven days of the celebration, the high priest poured out some water on the altar in the Temple to remember how God provided water for the people in the desolate area long ago. But the water he poured did not help anyone who was thirsty. So] on the last day of the festival, which was the most important day, Jesus stood up [in the Temple courtyard] and said with a loud voice, “Those who are thirsty should come to me to drink [what I will give them].
An deiz diwezhañ ha brasañ eus ar gouel, Jezuz en em gave eno, hag a grie: Mar en deus unan bennak sec'hed, ra zeuio da'm c'havout, ha ra evo.
38 Just like the Scriptures teach, streams of water shall flow out from within those who believe in me, and that water will cause them to live [eternally].”
An hini a gred ennon, stêrioù dour a vuhez a redo eus e askre, evel ma lavar ar Skritur.
39 When Jesus said that, he was referring to [God’s] Spirit, whom those who believed in Jesus would receive later. Up to that time God had not sent the Spirit [to live within believers], because Jesus had not yet [died and returned to his] glorious [home in] heaven, [from where he would send the Spirit].
Met eñ a lavare kement-se eus ar Spered a dlee resev ar re a gredje ennañ; rak ar Spered-Santel ne oa ket bet c'hoazh roet, abalamour na oa ket bet c'hoazh roet da Jezuz e c'hloar.
40 When some of the crowd heard those words, they said, “Surely this man is the prophet [whom God promised to send who would be like Moses]!”
Kalz eus ar bobl, o vezañ klevet ar gerioù-se, a lavare: Hemañ eo e gwirionez ar profed.
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah!” But others, [thinking Jesus was born in Galilee], said, “The Messiah will not come from Galilee [province], will he?
Reoù all a lavare: Ar C'hrist eo. Ha reoù all a lavare: Met ar C'hrist, ha dont a ra eus Galilea?
42 (Did [a prophet] not write in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived?/[It is written] in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived!) [RHQ]”
Ar Skritur, ha ne lavar ket e teuio ar C'hrist eus lignez David hag eus bourc'h Betlehem, a-belec'h e oa David?
43 So the people were divided because of [what they thought about] Jesus.
Ar bobl eta a oa lodennet diwar e benn.
44 Some people wanted to seize him, but no one tried [to do that].
Hag ur re bennak anezho a c'hoantae kregiñ ennañ, met den ne lakaas e zaouarn warnañ.
45 So the Temple guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees, [the ones who had sent them to arrest Jesus]. They said to the guards, “Why did you not [seize him and] bring him [here]?”
Ar serjanted eta a zistroas etrezek ar veleien vras hag ar farizianed; ar re-mañ a lavaras dezho: Perak n'hoc'h eus ket e zegaset?
46 They replied, “No one ever spoke such [amazing things] as this man does!”
Ar serjanted a respontas: Biskoazh den n'en deus komzet evel an den-se.
47 Then the Pharisees replied, “Have you been deceived {Has [he] deceived you}, too?
Ar farizianed a lavaras dezho: Bet oc'h-hu ivez touellet?
48 (None of our rulers nor any of us Pharisees have believed that (he [is the Messiah]!/he [came from God]!)/Have any of our [Jewish] rulers or any of us Pharisees believed that (he [is the Messiah]?/he [came from God]?)) [RHQ]
Ha bez' ez eus unan bennak eus ar mestroù pe eus ar farizianed hag en defe kredet ennañ?
49 Not one! But, on the contrary, some of this crowd [have believed in him]. They do not know [the true teachings of] our laws! They will go to hell [for listening to him]!” (questioned)
Met ar bobl villiget-mañ n'anavez ket al lezenn.
50 Then Nicodemus spoke. He was the one who earlier went to Jesus [at night]. He was also a member of the Jewish council. He said to [the rest of the Council members],
Nikodem, an hini a oa deuet en noz da gavout Jezuz hag a oa unan anezho, a lavaras dezho:
51 “[We] have not listened to what he says to find out what he is doing. (It is not permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him!/Is it permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him?) [RHQ]”
Ha barn a ra hol lezenn un den hep bezañ e glevet hag hep anavezout ar pezh en deus graet?
52 They replied to him, “(Are you another [disgusting person] from Galilee?/[You talk like] another [disgusting person] from Galilee!) [RHQ] Read [what is written in the Scriptures] You will find that no prophet comes from Galilee [province, like he does]!”
Int a respontas dezhañ: Bez' out ivez Galileat? Evesha ha gwel: profed ebet a zo deuet eus Galilea.
53 [Then they all left and went to their own homes.
Ha pep hini en em dennas en e di.
