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.
Ug human niining mga butanga si Jesus mipanaw sa Galilea, kay dili siya buot nga moadto sa Judea tungod kay ang mga Judio nangita aron mopatay kaniya.
2 But when the time of the Jewish celebration [called] ‘Celebration of [Living in] Shelters’ was near,
Karon ang Judio nga pista sa mga Payag-payag, haduol na.
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!
Busa ang iyang mga igsoon miingon kaniya, “Biyai kining dapita ug adto sa Judea, aron nga ang imong mga disipulo makakita usab sa mga buhat nga imong gihimo.
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!”
Walay usa nga mobuhat sa usa ka butang diha sa tago kung sa iyang kaugalingon buot niyang mahibaw-an sa dayag. Kung imong buhaton kining mga butanga, ipakita ang imong kaugalingon sa kalibotan.”
5 [They said this critically], because even [though they were] his own [younger] brothers, they did not believe he [was from God].
Kay bisan ang iyang mga igsoon wala motuo kaniya.
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].
Busa miingon si Jesus kanila, “Ang akong panahon wala pa moabot, apan ang inyong panahon kanunay andam.
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.
Ang kalibotan dili magdumot kaninyo, apan kini nagadumot kanako tungod kay ako nagpamatuod bahin niini nga ang ilang mga binuhatan daotan.
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].”
Pangadto kamo sa kapistahan; dili ako moadto niini nga kapistahan tungod kay ang akong panahon wala pa matuman.”
9 After he said that, Jesus stayed [a little longer] in Galilee.
Human siya miingon niining mga butanga kanila, siya nagpabilin sa 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.
Apan sa dihang ang iyang mga igsoon nakalakaw na ngadto sa kapistahan, unya mitungas usab siya, nga dili dayag apan sa tago lamang.
11 At the celebration, the Jewish [leaders] were looking for him. They were asking people, “Has Jesus come?”
Ang mga Judio nangita kaniya didto sa kapistahan ug miingon, “Asa naman siya?”
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!”
Adunay daghang paghisgot taliwala sa panon mahitungod kaniya. Ang uban miingon, “Siya usa ka maayo nga tawo.” Ang uban miingon, “Dili, siya ang nangulo sa pagpahisalaag sa panon.”
13 But no one was speaking so that others could hear them, because they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
Apan walay usa nga misulti sa dayag bahin kaniya tungod kay nahadlok sa mga Judio.
14 In the middle of the days of the celebration, Jesus went to the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach people.
Sa dihang ang kapistahan hapit na mahuman, si Jesus mitungas sa templo ug misugod sa pagtudlo.
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]”
Unya ang mga Judio nahibulong, ug miingon, “Unsa ba kining tawhana nga daghan man kaayo ang nahikat-onan? Nga wala man siya makaiskwela.”
16 Jesus replied to them, “What I teach does not come from myself. It comes from [God], the one who sent me.
Si Jesus mitubag ug miingon kanila, “Ang akong pagtulon-an dili kini kanako, apan kaniya nga nagpadala kanako.
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].
Kung ang matag usa motinguha sa pagbuhat sa iyang kabubut-on, masayod siya bahin niini nga pagtulon-an, kung kini ba naggikan sa Dios, o kung ako nagsulti gikan sa akong kaugalingon.
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.
Si bisan kinsa nga mosulti gikan sa iyang kaugalingon nagapangita sa iyang kaugalingong himaya, apan si bisan kinsa nga nagapangita sa himaya niya nga nagpadala kaniya, kanang tawhana tinuod, ug walay dili matarong diha kaniya.
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])?”
Dili ba si Moises man ang naghatag ug balaod kaninyo? Apan bisan usa kaninyo walay nagtuman sa balaod. Nganong nagapangita man kamo sa pagpatay kanako?”
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!”
Ang panon mitubag, “Ikaw adunay demonyo. Kinsa man ang nangita kanimo aron ikaw patyon?”
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.
Si Jesus mitubag ug miingon kanila, “Ako naghimo sa usa ka buhat, ug kamong tanan nahibulong tungod niini.
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]
Si Moises mihatag ug pagpatuli kaninyo (kini dili gikan kang Moises, apan gikan sa mga katigulangan), ug sa Igpapahulay kamo magtuli ug usa ka tawo.
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]!
Kung ang usa ka tawo modawat sa pagpatuli panahon sa Igpapahulay aron nga ang balaod ni Moises dili maguba, nganong nangasuko man kamo kanako tungod ba kay gihimo nako ang usa ka tawo nga hingpit ug himsog panahon sa Igpapahulay?
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]”!
Ayaw paghukom sumala sa panagway, apan paghukom nga makatarunganon.”
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]
Pipila kanila gikan sa Jerusalem nga miingon, “Dili ba kini ang usa nga ilang gipangita aron patyon?
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)?
Ug tan-awa, siya nagasulti nga dayag, ug sila walay ikasulti kaniya. Dili mahimo nga ang mga magmamando masayod sa tinuod nga mao kini ang Cristo, dili ba?
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.”
Apan nasayod kita kung asa gikan kining usa. Apan sa dihang ang Cristo moabot, walay usa nga masayod kung asa siya gikan.”
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.
Unya si Jesus misinggit didto sa templo, nga nagtudlo ug nagsulti, “Kamo nakaila kanako ug nasayod kung asa ako gikan. Wala ako mianhi sa akong kaugalingon, apan siya nga mipadala kanako tinuod, ug wala kamo masayod kaniya.
29 But I know him, because I have come from him. He is the one who sent me!”
Nasayod ako kaniya tungod kay gikan ako kaniya ug siya ang mipadala kanako.”
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].
Misulay sila sa pagdakop kaniya, apan walay usa nga mitugyan kaniya, tungod kay ang iyang takna wala pa moabot.
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?”
Apan daghan sa panon nga mituo kaniya, ug sila nagaingon, “Sa dihang moabot ang Cristo, maghimo ba siya ug daghan pang mga timaan kaysa nabuhat niining usa?”
32 The Pharisees heard them whispering these things about him. So they and the chief priests sent some Temple guards to seize him.
Ang mga Pariseo nakadungog sa panon nga naghinunghungay niining mga butanga mahitungod kang Jesus, ug ang pangulo sa mga pari ug ang mga Pariseo mipadala sa mga kadagkoan aron sa pagdakop kaniya.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you for only a short time. Then I will return to the one who sent me.
Unya miingon si Jesus, “Ako magpabilin uban kaninyo sa hamubo lang nga panahon, ug unya moadto ako kaniya nga mipadala kanako.
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.”
Magapangita kamo kanako apan dili ninyo ako makaplagan; kung asa ako moadto, dili kamo makahimo sa pag-adto.”
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?
Busa ang mga Judio miingon sa ilang kaugalingon, “Asa man kining tawhana moadto nga dili man nato siya mahikaplagan? Moadto ba siya aron sa pagsabwag taliwala sa mga Griyego ug tudlo-an ang mga Griyego?
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]?”
Unsa kining pulong nga iyang giingon, “Mangita kamo kanako apan dili ninyo ako makaplagan; diin ako moadto, dili kamo makaadto?”
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].
Sa kataposan, ang dakong adlaw sa kapistahan, si Jesus mitindog ug misinggit, nga nag-ingon, “Kung si bisan kinsa nga giuhaw, tugoti siya nga moduol kanako ug mag-inom.
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].”
Siya nga mituo kanako, sama sa gisulti sa kasulatan, ang mga sapa sa buhi nga tubig modagayday gikan sa iyang tiyan.”
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].
Apan siya miingon niini bahin sa Espiritu, nga alang niadtong motuo kaniya makadawat; ang Espiritu wala pa gihatag tungod kay si Jesus wala pa man himayaa.
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]!”
Pipila sa panon, sa dihang nadunggan nila kini nga mga pulong, nga miingon, “Tinuod gayod nga mao kini ang propeta.”
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?
Ang uban nagaingon, “Mao kini ang Cristo.” Apan ang uban nagaingon, “Ang Cristo ba gikan sa 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]”
Ang kasulatan ba wala miingon nga ang Cristo maggikan sa kaliwatan ni David ug gikan sa Betlehem, ang baryo diin si David nagpuyo?”
43 So the people were divided because of [what they thought about] Jesus.
Busa adunay pagkabahin sa mga panon tungod kaniya.
44 Some people wanted to seize him, but no one tried [to do that].
Pipila kanila buot nga modakop kaniya, apan walay usa nga migunit kaniya.
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]?”
Unya ang mga pamunoan mibalik ngadto sa pangulo sa mga pari ug sa mga Pariseo, nga miingon ngadto kanila, “Nganong wala man ninyo siya dad-a?”
46 They replied, “No one ever spoke such [amazing things] as this man does!”
Ang mga pamunoan mitubag, “Walay bisan usa nga nakasulti nga sama niini.”
47 Then the Pharisees replied, “Have you been deceived {Has [he] deceived you}, too?
Busa ang mga Pariseo mitubag kanila, “Nalingla ba usab gihapon kamo?
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]
Aduna bay mga magmamando nga mituo kaniya, o sa mga Pariseo?
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)
Apan kini nga panon wala masayod sa balaod, sila tinunglo.”
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],
Si Nicodemo (usa sa mga Pariseo, nga miadto kang Jesus sa dili palang dugay), miingon ngadto kanila,
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]”
“Ang ato bang balaod maghukom sa usa ka tawo sa walay pagpaminaw gikan kaniya ug pagsuta kung unsa ang iyang gipangbuhat?”
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]!”
Sila mitubag ug miingon kaniya, “Ikaw ba usab gikan sa Galilea? Susiha ug tan-awa nga walay propeta nga naggikan sa Galilea.”
53 [Then they all left and went to their own homes.
Unya ang tanan miuli sa tagsa-tagsa nila ka panimalay.
