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.
Anyimo anime Yeso mameki ukesse amanyanga mugalili mahem mateki manyanga muhudaidaba, barki ayahudawa wa nyari huna ume.
2 But when the time of the Jewish celebration [called] ‘Celebration of [Living in] Shelters’ was near,
Uidi wa yahuduwa wamu aye mamamu.
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!
Ine ini anu henu umeme wagunme, hira abanname udusa a manyanga mahudiya, ahana akatuma ka we me wa iri imum be sa uzinu wuza ma.
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!”
Una katuma nihunzi maraniba, inka manyara macukono ma bari hu sa u wuza ti mum-mum tige me, kini ubezi unee nice niweme.
5 [They said this critically], because even [though they were] his own [younger] brothers, they did not believe he [was from God].
Barki we anu henume daki wa hem in kadura ka meme.
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].
Ine ini Yeso magun we, uganiya um udazo asime vat uganiya ushe uni uzi.
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.
Unee ukaki uda nyare shi, abanname mi, mani wa nyare mi barki ma buka uguna katuma ka uni kaburu kani.
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].”
Shi dusani ahira uidi me, mi inda hanam a'aname, barki uganiya um udaa sarki u aye.
9 After he said that, Jesus stayed [a little longer] in Galilee.
Sa mabuka we anime mausa matonno amanyanga mu galili.
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.
Sa anu henu umeme sawa dusa udime, me mahiri madusa anyimo awi hunzi, daki masuso nice ni meme a masaa.
11 At the celebration, the Jewish [leaders] were looking for him. They were asking people, “Has Jesus come?”
Ayahudawa wameki unyara ume ahira uidi me wameki gusa, agi maraa abani?
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!”
Nigura nimeki bibukom anicce numeme, aye wa gusi, unubo mani sa adi iri aye wagusi mazin nu ranga anabu.
13 But no one was speaking so that others could hear them, because they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
Daki uye matonno ma buki tize timeme a ma saa, barki wa kunna biyyau ba Yahudawa.
14 In the middle of the days of the celebration, Jesus went to the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach people.
Sa u idi wabiki atii Yeso maribe u denge utize ta sere mabui tize.
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]”
A yahudawa pum a wu we cam-ca, wa gu ama, aneni unu uge me maruse u bassi ihuri lau aname, iyenne daki mabezi uguna marusa ire imum. 16
16 Jesus replied to them, “What I teach does not come from myself. It comes from [God], the one who sent me.
Yeso makabarki magu, urusa ugime sanzini umumi ba. Udesa matumum uni.
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].
Vat de sa manyara ma wuzi katuma ka Asere, madirusi ubezi wa asere uni, nya in, inzi nu uboo me anicce nu mini. 18
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.
Desa maboo tize barki necce nume, manyara unonzo unicce ni meme nini unu nyara unonzo udesa matumame, memani una kadura, macico mazoni anyo ameme.
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])?”
Azo musa mani manya shi ainko utize me? Vat ani me daki ya inko ni tize me anyimo ashi me. Nyanini ya wuna ingara uhuna um?”
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!”
Anu me sa orno wakirka wagu, “Uzinu pebui aveni manyara ahuna uwe?”
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.
Yeso makabirka magu, katuma ka inde kani ma wuza, vat ushi izinu hira imu isso ini.
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]
Musa maceki shi nigbari, uguna memani matubi acokoro wa cokro wani, ayenne, i wuza nu nigbari rono uwui wa sabar.
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]!
Unubo nigbari unu wui asabar barki kati agu afatilka tize ti muusa, ine ini ya kunna iriba barki a human nu unu rono uwui asabar?
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]”!
Kati i waki tise anyimo uzatu urusa, abanna me wenki imum be sa idi ronta.”
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]
Ara anu urshalima wanno wagu, azome unu ugino mani sa wa nyara uhuna umeme ba?
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)?
Mayenne mazin tize a masaa, daki wagunamme imumba, nani anaje arumae warusa memani vana aserer me?
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.”
Agino haru tirusa ahira me samarani, uganiya sa vana asere ma eh unu urusa ahira me sa marani mazoni.”
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.
Yeso mazennu bezi anaboo. Tize ta asere anyimo udenge Asere, manno mayeze nigmirang magu, irusam irusa ahirame sa in rani. A zo agi ma ayye barki nicce num, de sa matuman una kadura kani, meme teshi me.
29 But I know him, because I have come from him. He is the one who sent me!”
Mi in rusa me, barki ahira ame ani masuron, memani matumam.
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].
Bark anime wanyari guna wudi mekime, a diri de sa madi darimme barki uganiya umeme wada sa arku aye.
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?”
Vatin aneme anabo gbardang ahira anigura me wa hem in kadura ka meme, wazi nu gusa ana, uganiya sa ugoma asere ma aye, madi muzi ti mummu tige sa ti teki ti unu geme?
32 The Pharisees heard them whispering these things about him. So they and the chief priests sent some Temple guards to seize him.
Afarisiyawa sa wa kunna magusa- magusa anime, abini me ana adandang atize wa farisiyawa watumi ana katuma kudenge Asere agi wa mekime.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you for only a short time. Then I will return to the one who sent me.
Yeso magu, “Ana uganiya um wa dee cingilin nan shi, abini me ani indi kuri ahira ade sa ma tumam.
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.”
Idi nyarin ni, ida irani ba, ahira me sa indi rani ida kem i haa ahira me ba.”
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?
Abini me ayaduawa wanno wagu acce-acce awene, “Abani ma hazanna sa tida ke ti haa ahira mee? Ma haza ahira a Yahudawa be sa warani anyimo alem, ma bezi alem mee.
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]?”
Ma bassa aneni unu guna agi, idi nyari ni mi ida kem mi ba? Nan nu guna agi ahira me sa in rani ida kem i haa ani ba?”
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].
Rono masirka uidi, uwui udandand yeso mahiri matono, mayeze nigmirang magu, desa makunna asaa agmei a ma eh ahira am masi gmei.
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].”
Vat sa ma hem mi, gusi ubuku utize ta Asere, usuro iriba imamani maraba ma gmei madi zi.
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].
Agino me ani mabuki abanga abibeu, ahiran ande be sa hem me wadi kabi, barki daki a munya bibeu me, barki sa a daa saarku unoziko u Yeso.
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]!”
Sa kunna tize tiginame, aye anyimo ani gura wagu, animani unu uge me memani una tize ta sere ugino me.
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?
Aye wagu, unu geme Asere mani, aye wagu nyanaa? Asere madi sura a manyanga mu galilinmani?”
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]”
Tize ta sere daki ta buka uguna Asere madi suri ani kura ni Dauda nini ba, nyani ubaitalami uni tirani, nigiro sa Dauda ma a'kin?”
43 So the people were divided because of [what they thought about] Jesus.
U harzina waribe a acce-acce aweme ameme.
44 Some people wanted to seize him, but no one tried [to do that].
Ayye wanyari umeki ume, wanno wa diri acce uguna wa meki me nyani unu inde ma daki madari me ba.
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]?”
Abini me ana katuma kudenge Asere wakuri ahira ananu a ma firistoci nanna Farisiyawa wanno ayen me ahira aru me?
46 They replied, “No one ever spoke such [amazing things] as this man does!”
Ane ani ana katuma kudenge wagu, azo animani izi, daki uye ma ma cukuno mabui tize gusi tigino me!
47 Then the Pharisees replied, “Have you been deceived {Has [he] deceived you}, too?
Afarisiyawa waka birka we wage, kati, shi me cangi a soki shi a ma reu?
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]
Antani uye marani anyimo ana jaa nyani Afarisiyawa ma hem in m?
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)
Nagura nigenome sani da ta me tize ta sere me, Asere a vavi we tari adii-si.
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],
Nikodimo sa mahaa ahira ameme dati, me arani nanwe, mayunwe.
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]”
Ani, tize tiru ta guna weki unu tize azo akunna anyo amemeba, arusi imumbe sa ma rani anyimo me?”
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]!”
Wa kabirka me wagu, hume unanu galili mani? Gunkonon memeru uiri, unu ube zi utize ta sere mago ni sa madi suri amanyanga mu Galili.”
53 [Then they all left and went to their own homes.
Abini me kondevi ma dusa akura.
