John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Yesu akalota kid'onda kya mizeituni.
2 At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself;
Lubhuliku akahida kabhele mu lihekalu, ni bhanu bhoha bhakandotela; akatama ni kubhafundisya.
3 and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put the case to Him.
Bhaandishi ni Mafarisayo bhakandeta n'dala jha akamuili bhugoni. Bhakambeka pagati.
4 "Rabbi," they said, "this woman has been found in the very act of committing adultery.
Ndipo bhakan'jobhela Yesu, “Mwalimu, n'dala ojhu akamuliki bhugoni, kwa kitendo kabisa.
5 Now, in the Law, Moses has ordered us to stone such women to death. But what do you say?"
Henu, sheria, Musa atujobhili kubhatobha maganga bhana kama abha, ghwijobhuli juu jha muene?
6 They asked this in order to put Him to the test, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger on the ground.
Bhajobhili agha ili kun'tegha tu ili kwamba bhakabhayi lijambo lya kun'takila, lakini Yesu ajhineme pasi alembili palifu kwa kikonji kya muene.
7 When however they persisted with their question, He raised His head and said to them, "Let the sinless man among you be the first to throw a stone at her."
Bho bhijhendelela kun'kota ajhemili ni kubhajobhela, “Muene jhaajhelepi ni dhambi miongoni mwa muenga, ajhe layi wa kwanza kuh'oma liganga.”
8 Then He leant forward again, and again began to write on the ground.
Akajhinama kabhele pasi, akalemba ni kikonji kya muene pasi.
9 They listened to Him, and then, beginning with the eldest, took their departure, one by one, till all were gone. And Jesus was left behind alone--and the woman in the centre of the court.
Bho bhap'eliki aghu bhabhokili mmonga badala jha jhongi, kujhandila jhaajhe n'seya. Mwishu Yesu alekibhu muene, pamonga ni n'dala jha ajhele pagati pa bhene.
10 Then, raising His head, Jesus said to her, "Where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
Yesu ajhemili ni kun'jobhela, “N'dala bhabhakutakili bhajhendaku? Ajhelepi hata mmonga jhaakutakili?”
11 "No one, Sir," she replied. "And I do not condemn you either," said Jesus; "go, and from this time do not sin any more."]
Akajobha, “Ajhelepi hata mmonga Bwana.” Yesu akajobha, “Hata nene nikutakila lepi. Lotayi njela jha yobhi; kujhandila henu ni kujhendelela usibhombi dhambi kabhele.”
12 Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the Light of the world," He said; "the man who follows me shall certainly not walk in the dark, but shall have the light of Life."
Kabhele Yesu alungili ni bhanu akajobha, “Nene ndo nuru jha ulimwengu; muene jha akanikesya ibetalepi kugenda mu ngisi bali ibetakujha ni nuru jha bhusima.”
13 "You are giving testimony about yourself," said the Pharisees; "your testimony is not true."
Mafarisayo bhakan'jobhela, “Ghwikishuhudila ghwa muene bhushuhuda bhwa jhobhi bhwa bhukweli lepi.”
14 "Even if I am giving testimony about myself," replied Jesus, "my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you know neither of these two things.
Yesu ajibili akabhajobhela, “Hata kama nibetakwishuhudila ne muene, bhushuhuda bhwangu bhwa bhukweli. Nimanyili kwa nih'omela ni khola kwa nilota, lakini muenga mumanyilepi mahali kwa nihoma ni kwanilota.
15 You judge according to appearances: I am judging no one.
Muenga mwihukumula kimb'ele; nene nikan'takila lepi jhejhioha.
16 And even if I do judge, my judgement is just; for I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.
Nene hata nikatakilayi hukumu jha nene jha bhukweli kwa ndabha njelepi ne muene, bali nje ni dadi jhangu jha anilaghisi.
17 In your own Law, too, it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
Ena, ni ku sheria jha muenga jhilembibhu kujha bhushuhuda bhwa bhanu bhabhele bhwa bhukweli.
18 I am one giving testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony about me."
Nene ndo jhanikishuhudila, ni Dadi jha anilaghisye akanishuhudila.”
19 "Where is your Father?" they asked. "You know my Father as little as you know me." He replied; "if you knew me, you would know my Father also."
Bhakan'jobhela, “Dadi waku ajhe ndaku?” Yesu ajibili, “nene munimanyilepi; ng'amuyimunimanyi nene, ngamumanyi ni Dadi jhangu.”
20 These sayings He uttered in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come.
Ajobhi malobhi agha ajhe karibu ni hazina pa afundisieghe mu lihekalu, na ajhe lepi hata mmonga jha an'kamuili kwa ndabha saa jha muene jhajhejhakona kufika.
21 Again He said to them, "I am going away. Then you will try to find me, but you will die in your sins. Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come."
Basi akabhajobhela kabhele, “Nikilotela; mwibetakunilonda na mwibetakufwa ni dhambi sya jhomu. Khola kwa nilota, mwibwesya lepi kuhida.”
22 The Jews began to ask one another, "Is he going to kill himself, do you think, that he says, 'Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come'?"
Bhayahudi bhakajobha, “Ibetakwikoma muene, muene jha ajobhili, 'khola kwanilota mwibhwesya lepi kuhida'?”
23 "You," He continued, "are from below, I am from above: you are of this present world, I am not of this present world.
Yesu akabhajobhela, “Mwihomela pasi; nene nihomela kunani. Muenga bha ulimwengu obho nene sio ghwa ulimwengu obho.
24 That is why I told you that you will die in your sins; for, unless you believe that I am He, that is what will happen."
Henu, nabhajobhili kujha mwibetakufwa ni dhambi sya jhomu. Labda mukyerayi kujha NENE NDIYE, mwibetakufwa ni dhambi sya jhomu”.
25 "You--who are you?" they asked. "How is it that I am speaking to you at all?" replied Jesus.
Kabhele bhakayanda kunijobhela, “Bhebhe ghwa niani?” Yesu akabhajobhela, ghala ghanibhajobhili kuhomela kubhwandelu.
26 "Many things I have to speak and to judge concerning you. But He who sent me is true, and the things which I have heard from Him are those which I have come into the world to speak."
Nijhe ni mambo mingi gha kulongela ni hukumu juu jha muenga. Hata naha, muene jha anilaghisye ni ghwa bhukweli; ni mambo gha nighap'eliki kuhoma kwa muene, mambo agha nikaghajobha kwa bhulimwengu.”
27 They did not perceive that He was speaking to them of the Father.
Bhanjelibhu lepi kujha alongeleghe kuhusu Dadi.
28 So Jesus added, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He. Of myself I do nothing; but as the Father has taught me, so I speak.
Yesu akajobha, “Pamwibetakunjinula panani Muana ghwa Munu, ndipo pa mwibetakumanya kujha NENE NDO MUENE, ni kwamba nibhomba lepi lyolyoha kwa nafsi jha nene. Kama Dadi kya animanyisi, nilongela mambo agha.
29 And He who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone: for I do always what is pleasing to Him."
Muene jha anitumili ajhele pamonga nani, ni muene anilekililepi ne muene, kwandabha khila mara nibhomba ghala ghaghikampendesya.”
30 As He thus spoke, many became believers in Him.
Wakati Yesu ijobha mambo agha, bhingi bhankieriri.
31 Jesus therefore said to those of the Jews who had now believed in Him, "As for you, if you hold fast to my teaching, then you are truly my disciples;
Yesu akajobha kwa bhala Bhayahudi bhabhankieriri, “Pamwibetakutama mu lilobhi lya nene, ndipo pamwibetakujha bhanafunzi bha nene kueli,
32 and you shall know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free."
namu mwibetakujhimanya kuweli, ni kuweli jhibetakubhabheka huru.”
33 "We are descendants of Abraham," they answered, "and have never at any time been in slavery to any one. What do those words of yours mean, 'You shall become free'?"
Bhan'jibili, “Tete ndo bhuzao bhwa Ibrahimu ni kamwe tubhwayilepi kujha pasi pa utumwa ghwa jhejhioha; ghwijobha bhuli, “Tubekubhekibhwa huru?”
34 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that every one who commits sin is the slave of sin.
Yesu abhajibhili, “Muaminiayi, muaminiayi, nikabhajobhela, khila jhaibetakubhomba dhambi ndo n'tumwa ghwa dhambi.
N'tumwa itamalepi kunyumba mda ghuoha; muana itamisya mda ghuoha. (aiōn g165)
36 If then the Son shall make you free, you will be free indeed.
Henu, ikajhelayi muana abhabhekili huru, mwibetakujha huru kabisa.”
37 You are descendants of Abraham, I know; but you want to kill me, because my teaching gains no ground within you.
Nimanyili kujha muenga ndo bhuzao bhwa Ibrahimu; mwilonda kunikoma kwandabha lilobhi lya nene lijhelepi ni nafasi kwa muenga.
38 The words I speak are those I have learnt in the presence of the Father. Therefore you also should do what you have heard from your father."
Nijobha mambo ambagho nighabhuene pamonga ni Dadi jhangu, ni muenga khelakhela mwibhomba mambo ambagho mwaghap'eleki kuhoma kwa dadi jhinu.”
39 "Our father is Abraham," they said. "If you were Abraham's children," replied Jesus, "it is Abraham's deeds that you would be doing.
Bhajibili ni kun'jobhela, “Dadi jhitu ndo Ibrahimu.” Yesu akabhajobhela, Kama ngamujhebhana bha Ibrahimu, ngamubhomba mbombo sya Ibrahimu.
40 But, in fact, you are longing to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth which I have heard from God. Abraham did not do that.
Hata henu mwilonda kunikoma, munu jha abhajobhili bhukweli kujha nap'eliki kuhomela kwa K'yara. Abrahamu abhombilepi naha.
41 You are doing the deeds of your father." "We," they replied, "are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, namely God."
Mbombambombo sya dadi jhinu.” Bhakan'jobhela, “Twahogolikilepi mu uzinzi, tujhenaku Dadi mmonga, K'yara.”
42 "If God were your Father," said Jesus, "you would love me; for it is from God that I came and I am now here. I have not come of myself, but He sent me.
Yesu akabhajobhela, “Ikajhiajhi K'yara ndo Dadi jhinu, ngamunigani nene, kwa ndabha nihomili kwa K'yara; wala nahidilepi kwa nafsi jha jhoni, bali muene jha anilaghisi.
43 How is it you do not understand me when I speak? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my words.
Kwandabha jha kiki mukaghajhelebhwa lepi malobhi ghangu? Kwa ndabha mwibhwesyalepi kusindamala kughap'eleka malobhi ghangu.
44 The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do what gives him pleasure. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth--for there is no truth in him. Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
Muenga ndo bha dadi jhinu, syetani, na mwilonda kusibhomba tamaa sya dadi jhinu. Ajhele n'komi kuhomela kubhwandelu na ibhwesyalepi kujhema mu bhukweli kwandabha kweli jhilepi kwa muene. Pailongela bhudesi, ilongela kuhoma kiasili jha muene kwa ndabha n'desi ni dadi ghwa bhudesi.
45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
Hata henu, kwa ndabha nijobha jhajhijhela jha bhukweli, mukanikiera lepi.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
Niani kati jha muenga jhaakanishuhudila kujha nijhe ni dhambi? ikajhiajhi nijobha gha bhukweli, kwandabhajhakiki mkanikiera lepi?
47 He who is a child of God listens to God's words. You do not listen to them: and why? It is because you are not God's children."
Muene jha ajhe ghwa K'yara akaghapeleka malobhi gha K'yara; muenga mukaghap'eleka lepi kwandabha muenga bha K'yara lepi.”
48 "Are we not right," answered the Jews, "in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?"
Bhayahudi bhakan'jibu ni kun'jobhela, tujobhilepi bhukweli kujha bhebhe ndo Msamaria na ujhe ni pepo?”
49 "I am not possessed by a demon," replied Jesus. "On the contrary I honour my Father, and you dishonour me.
Yesu ajibili, nijhelepi ni pepo; lakini nikan'heshimu Dadi jhangu namu mukaniheshimu lepi.
50 I, however, am not aiming at glory for myself: there is One who aims at glory for me--and who judges.
Nilonda lepi bhutukufu bhwangu; ajhe mmonga jhailonda ni kuhukumu.
51 In most solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall have obeyed my teaching he shall in no case ever see death." (aiōn g165)
Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikabhajobhela, iwapo jhejhioha jhaibetakulikamula lilobhi lyangu, ibetalepi kubhona mauti kamwe.” (aiōn g165)
52 "Now," exclaimed the Jews, "we know that you are possessed by a demon. Abraham died, and so did the Prophets, and yet you say, 'If any one shall have obeyed my teaching, he shall in no case ever taste death.' (aiōn g165)
Bhayahudi bhakan'hobhela, “Henu tumanyili kujha ujhe ni pepo. Abrahamu ni manabii bhafuili; lakini ghwijobha, 'Ikajhiajhi munu ibetakulikamula lilobhi lyangu, ibetakubhonja lepi mauti'. (aiōn g165)
53 Are you really greater than our forefather Abraham? For he died. And the prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
Bhebhe ghwa mbaha lepi kuliko dadi jhitu Abrahamu jhaafuili, sivyo? Manabii pia bhafuili. Bhebhe ukibheka ghwe niani?”
54 "Were I to glorify myself," answered Jesus, "I should have no real glory. There is One who glorifies me--namely my Father, who you say is your God.
Yesu akajibu, “Ikajhiayi nibetakwitukusya ne muene bhutukufu bhwa nene ndo bure; ni Dadi jhangu jhaanitukuisi - jhola jha mukan'jobha kujha ndo K'yara ghwinu.
55 You do not know Him, but I know Him perfectly; and were I to deny my knowledge of Him, I should resemble you, and be a liar. On the contrary I do know Him, and I obey His commands.
Muenga mu mmanyilepi muene, lakini nene nimanyili muene. Ikajhiajhi nibetakujobha, 'nimanyilepi,' nibetakujha kama muenga, n'desi. Hata naha, nimmanyili ni malobhi gha muene nighakamuili.
56 Abraham your forefather exulted in the hope of seeing my day: and he saw it, and was glad."
Dadi jhinu Abrahamu ahobhwiki paibetakujhibhona ligono lya nene; ajhibhwene na ahobhwiki.”
57 "You are not yet fifty years old," cried the Jews, "and have you seen Abraham?"
Bhayahudi bhakan'jobhela, “Ufikisilepi umri ghwa miaka hamsini bado, nabhi umbwene Ibrahimu?”
58 "In most solemn truth," answered Jesus, "I tell you that before Abraham came into existence, I am."
Yesu akabhajobhela, “Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikabhajobhela, kabla Abrahamu ahogiliki lepi, NENE NIJHELE.”
59 Thereupon they took up stones with which to stone Him, but He hid Himself and went away out of the Temple.
Ndipo bhaholili maganga bhabhwesiajhi kun'tobha, lakini Yesu akifighili ni kuhoma kwibhala mu hekalu.
