John 8
1 Jesus went to the mount of Olives:
Jesu avayendi kwi Lundu lya Olive.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.
Kuseni-seni avakezi kwi tempele hape, linu vantu vangi vava kezi; chi kala hansi nikuva luta.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery: and when they had set her in the midst,
Vañoli ni ma Falisi nivaleta mwanakazi yava swalehi. Chiva muvika hakati.
4 They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Linu chiva mucho, “Muluti, uzu mwanakazi wa swaleha.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned; but what sayest thou?
Lyahanu mumulawo wetu, Mushe avatulaeli kuti vantu vena vuti vaswanela kupwacholwa ni mañomwe; uwamba nzi kuamana naye?”
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not].
Vavawambi vulyo chokuti vawane inzila yo kumu hambiliza, kono Jesu ava sungami nikuñola hansi ni munwe wakwe.
7 So when they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a 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 And they who heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
Hava zuwa bulyo, chivayenda umwina ka umwina, kutangila kumu kulwana. Kuma mani mani Jesu ava shali yenke, ni mwanakazi yavena hakati.
10 When Jesus had raised himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those thy accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
Jesu chazimana nikumuvuza, “Mwanakazi va hambilizi vako vena kuhi? Kakwina wakunyaza?”
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Cha wamba, “Kakwina Simwine.” Jesu chati, “Name kani kunyazi. Yende ukasiye kupanga chivi hape.”
12 Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall 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 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testifiest concerning thyself; thy testimony is not true.
Ma Falisi chiva muwambila, “Uhindite vupaki hako; vupaki vwako kena vwe niti.”
14 Jesus answered and said to them, Though I testify concerning myself, [yet] my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
Jesu chavetava nikuvata kuti, nanga hanilihindila vupaki vwangu, vupaki vwangu vwe niti. Nizi kunizwa ni kuni kaya, kono inwe kamwizi kunikazwa kapa kunikaya.
15 Ye judge after the flesh, I judge no man.
Muatula ke nyama; kono kakwina ini atula.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
Nanga anitula, inkatulo yangu yeniti kakuli kanikele nenke, kono nina ni Tayo yo nitumite.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
Eeye, nanga mumulao wenu kuñoletwe kuti vupaki vwa vantu vovele vwe niti.
18 I am one that testifieth concerning myself; and the Father that sent me, testifieth concerning me.
Njeme nili hindila vupaki vwangu, hape Tayo yo nitumite wina vupaki vwangu.”
19 Then said they to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.
Vavawambi kwali, “Iso wina kuhi?” Jesu chetava, “Kakwina imwizi ime kapa Tayo; kambe munizi, ni mweziva ni Tayo naye.”
20 These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.
avawambi aa manzwi muchivulukelo na kwete kuruta mwi tempele, mi kakwina yava musumini kakuti inako yakwe kena iveni kusika.
21 Then said Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Cwale hape ava wambi kuvali, “niya kungi; kamuni ngane mi kamufwile mu chivi chenu. Kuniya, kamuwoli kwiza koo.”
22 Then said the Jews, will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
Ma Juda chiva wamba, “kalihaye iye mwine? chingi uwamba; Kuniya kamuwoli kuya kwateni'?”
23 And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye 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 I said therefore to you, that ye will die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye 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 Then said they to him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith to them, Even [the same] that I said 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, and to judge of you: but he that sent me, is true: and I speak to the world those things which 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 understood not that he spoke to them concerning the Father.
Kena vava zuwisisi kuti ava kuwamba kuvali ze Shetu.
28 Then said Jesus to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
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 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Iye wani tuma wina name, mi kena ni siya nenke, kakuti ni panganga chimu tavisa.”
30 As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
Sina Jesu hava kuwamba izi zintu, vangi vava zumini kwali.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye continue in my word, ye are my disciples indeed;
Jesu cha wamba kuvo ma Juda vava zumini kwali, “Haiva mushala mu linzwi lyangu, cwale muva rutwana vangu ve niti,
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
mi kamwizive initi, mi initi kai milukulule.”
33 They answered him, We are Abraham's offspring, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
chiva mwitava mwitavi, “Tuvana va Abrahama mi kena tuvavi va hikana va muntu; uwola kuwamba vule, 'ka mulukuluhe'?”
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Whoever committeth sin, is the servant 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 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Cwale he, haiva mwana umilukulula, ke niti ka mulukuluhe.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Nizi kuti muvana va Abrahama; mukwete kungana kunihaya kakuti linzwi kalyina chivaka mwenu.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Ni wamba chini va voni ni Ishangu, mi mupanga chimu vazuwi kwe shenu.”
39 They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do 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 ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
Kono, hanu musaka kuni haya, mukwame yava miwambili initi ini vaka zuwi kwe Ireeza. Abrahama kena va pangi izi.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] 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, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, 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 ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word.
Chinzi hamu sa zuwisisi manzwi angu? Ivaka lyo kuti kamuwoli kuzuwa manzwi angu.
44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
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 And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
Kono, kakuti ni wamba vuniti, kamu zumini.
46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Njeni kwenu yoni hambika chivi? haiva ni wamba vuniti, chizi hamu sa zumini?
47 He that is of God, heareth God's words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
Iye yazwa kwe Ireeza uzuwa manzwi ee Ireeza; kamu ya zuwi kakuti ka muzwi kwali.”
48 Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
Ma Juda chivetava niku mu wambila, “Kena kuti tuwamba kuti umu Samariya mi wina i dimona?”
49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
Jesu che tava, “kanina i dimona, kono ni kuteka Shangu, mi kamuni kuteki.
50 And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Kani ngani inkaya yangu; kwina yo ngana niku watula.
51 Verily, verily, I say to you, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
Niti, niti, nimi wambila, haiva kwina yata vike linzwi lyangu, keta vone ifu.” (aiōn g165)
52 Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall 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 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
Kena umukando kuhata ishetu Abrahama yava fwii, vule? Ma porofita navo vavafwi. Uhupula kuti njewe ni?”
54 Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honoreth me, of whom ye say, that he is your 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 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar like you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
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 rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
Ishenu Abrahama ava sangi chokuvona izuva lyangu; ava lyivoni niku nyakalala.”
57 Then said the Jews to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Ma Juda vava wambi kwali, “kawini kukwanisa makumi akwana iyanza ezilimo, mi muva voni Abrahama?”
58 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jesu chava wambila, “Niti, niti, nimi wambila, Abrahama naseni, Njeme.”
59 Then they took up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Cwale chiva tola mabwe niku musoholera kono Jesu cha lipata nikuzwa mwi tempele.
