John 7
1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Pa aga, Yesu kaweriti kankugendagenda kulaa ku Galilaya. Kafiriti ndiri kugendagenda kumkowa wa Yudeya toziya wakulu wa Wayawudi waweriti wankufira kumlaga.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
Shipindi sha msambu gwa Wayawudi gwa visasa guweriti gwapakwegera.
3 His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
Su, walongu wakuwi wamgambira, “Guwuki panu gugendi Yudeya, su wafundwa waku wawoni vitwatira vyagutenda.
4 For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
Muntu katenda ndiri vitwatira kwa kubada pakafira kamanikani kwa wantu. Toziya gutenda vitwatira avi, guleki wantu wa pasipanu poseri wavimani kuusu gwenga.”
5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
Ata walongu wakuwi wamjimira ndiri.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Yesu kawagambira, “Shipindi shangu shashifaa shankali kusoka. Mwenga kila shipindi shifaa.
7 The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
Wantu wa pasipanu hapeni wizi kuwakalalira mwenga, neni wankalalira toziya neni ntakula kwawu kuwera matendu gakuwi gadoda.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
Mwenga mgendi kumsambu. Neni hapeni ng'endi ku msambu aku vinu, toziya saa yaneni yaifaa yankali kusoka.”
9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
Katakuliti aga, shakapanu kendereyiti kulikala Galilaya.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
Walongu wakuwi pawagenditi kala kumsambu, Yesu kagenditi viraa, kumbiti kagenditi ndiri pawamlola ira kagenditi kwa kulififa.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
Wakulu wa Wayawudi waweriti wankumsakula ku msambu aku. Womberi wakosiya, “Ka koshi?”
12 There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
Kuweriti mapwepweziyu nentu kuusu Yesu mulipinga lya wantu. Wamonga watakuliti, “Yesu ndo muntu muheri.” Na wamonga watakuliti, “Ndala! Kankuwapayira wantu.”
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Kumbiti kwahera muntu yakatakuliti kuusu Yesu paweru, toziya waweriti wankuwatira wakulu wa Shiyawudi.
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Msambu agu pagusokiti pakati na kumalirika, Yesu pakagenditi ku Numba nkulu ya Mlungu, kanjiti kufunda.
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
Wakulu wa Shiyawudi walikangashiti nentu, walongiti, “Iwera hashi muntu ayu kerewa nentu, nayomberi kagenditi ndiri kushuli?”
16 Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
Yesu kawankula, “Shilii shanfunda shilawa kwaneni ndiri, ira shilawa kwa Mlungu, ndo mweni yakantumiti.
17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
Muntu yakafira kutenda galii gagafira Mlungu, haguvimani handa mafundu gangu galawa kwa Mlungu, ama neni nfunda kwa uwezu wangu namweni.
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Muntu yakatakula kwa uwezu wakuwi mweni, kankusakula uzyumi wakuwi mweni. Kumbiti ulii yakasakula uzyumi wa ulii yakantumiti, ayu ndo mwaminika na mngati mwakuwi kwahera ufyangu woseri.
19 Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
Hashi, Musa kakupanana ndiri Lilagaliru? Ata hangu, kwahera ata yumu gwenu yakalijimila Lilagaliru. Hashi, mfira mndagi?”
20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
Lipinga lya wantu limwankula, “Gwenga gwana shamshera! Gani kafira kukulaga?”
21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
Yesu kawankula, “Kwana liuzauza limu lyantenditi, namwenga mlikangashiti.
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
Musa kawalagaliriti mwenga muwayingiziyi jandu wana wenu, shitiba ashi sha Musa ndiri ira wambuyi wenu ndo wanjiti kushitenda shitiba ashi na mumwingiziya jandu mwana mulishaka lya Kwoyera.
23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
Handa pamumwingiziya mwana jandu mulishaka lya Kwoyera su mleka ndiri Lilagaliru lya Musa, iwera hashi munkalalira neni toziya numponiziya muntu mulishaka lya Kwoyera?
24 Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
Mleki kutoza kwa kunja hera, mtozi kwa shipimu sha teratera.”
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
Wantu wamu wa Yerusalemu watakuliti, “Ndo ayu ndiri, muntu yawamsakula wamlagi?
26 Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
Mloli! Kawagambira pota na kufifa, womberi watakula ndiri shintu shoseri kuusu yomberi! Hashi, iwezekana kuwera wakulu wavimana nakaka kuwera muntu ayu ndo Kristu?
27 However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
Kumbiti Kristu pakaweriti kankwiza, kwahera muntu yoseri yakavimaniti kuwera Kristu hakalawili koshi, kumbiti tuvimana kuwera muntu ayu kwakalawira!”
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
Yesu pakaweriti kankufunda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, yomberi katakuliti kwa liziwu, “Mumana neni na muvimana kwanawa? Niza ndiri kwa uwezu wangu mweni. Ulii yakantumiti ndo mwaminika nentu, mwenga mumana ndiri,
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
Kumbiti neni numumana, toziya ndawa kwakuwi, ndo mweni yakantumiti.”
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Womberi wafiliti kumkamula Yesu, kumbiti kwahera muntu yakaweza kumbata yomberi toziya saa yakuwi yankali kusoka.
31 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
Wantu wavuwa mulipinga wamjimiriti na walonga, “Kristu pakiza hakatendi mauzauza nentu kuliku aga gakatenditi muntu ayu?”
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Mafalisayu wapikiniriti wantu pawapwepa visoweru avi kuusu Yesu. Su womberi pamuhera na watambika wakulu wa Numba ya Mlungu wawatumiti wanjagila wambati Yesu.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
Yesu katakula, “Nankali namwenga kwa shipindi shididini, su hanumugenderi ulii yakantumiti.
34 You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
Hamunsakuli kumbiti hapeni mumoni, toziya hapeni mwizi pahala palii panwera.”
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
Wakulu wa Shiyawudi walitakuziana weni, “Muntu ayu hakagendi koshi ndo peni hapeni tumpati? Hakagendi kwa lushi zya Wagiriki ndo peni wantu wetu Wayawudi pawalikala na hakawafundi Wagiriki?
36 What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’?”
Kamanisha shishi pakatakula, ‘Hatumsakuli kumbiti hapeni tumwoni na palii pahala pakawera hapeni tuwezi kusoka?’”
37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
Lishaka lya kupelera lya msambu agu liweriti lishaka likulu. Yesu kagolokiti na kutakula kwa liziwu likulu, “Yakayumuluwa, kizi kwaneni,
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
na yoseri yakanjimira neni kalandi. Gambira Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalembwa, ‘Yakanjimira neni lushemba lwa mashi ga ukomu haganyiririki kulawa mumoyu mwakuwi.’”
39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.
Yesu katakuliti aga kuusu Rohu, ndo mweni yawamjimira yomberi hawamuwanki. Shipindi shilii, Rohu Mnanagala kaweriti kankali kusoka toziya Yesu kaweriti kankali kukwiswa.
40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
Wantu wamu pakati pa lipinga lilii wapikiniriti visoweru avi, watakula, “Nakaka muntu ayu ndo ulii mbuyi gwa Mlungu!”
41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Wamonga watakula, “Ayu ndo Kristu!” Kumbiti wamonga watakuliti, “Kristu hapeni kizi kulawa ku Galilaya!
42 Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
Malembu Mananagala galembwiti hangu kuwera Kristu hakaweri mushiyiwuku sha Mfalumi Dawudi na hakayiwuki ku Betirehemu, lushi lyakalikaliti Dawudi.”
43 So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
Su, kulawiriti malekaniru kuusu yomberi pakati palipinga lilii lya wantu.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Wantu wamu wafiriti kumbata Yesu, kumbuti kwahera yakajeriti kumbata.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
Wanjagila pawawuyiti kwa Watambika wakulu na Mafalisayu, womberi wawakosiya, “Iwera hashi mumjega ndiri Yesu?”
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
Wanjagila wawankula, “Kwahera muntu yakapatiti nakamu kutakula gambira muntu ayu ntambu yakatakuliti!”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
Mafalisayu wawakosiya, “Hashi na mwenga wakuzyangani viraa?
48 Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
Hashi, muwoniti kala yumu gwa wakulu wa wantu, ama yumu gwa Mafalisayu yakamjimiriti?
49 But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
Lipinga ali lya wantu livimana ndiri Lilagaliru lya Musa, lipangirwa!”
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
Yumu gwa Mafalisayu kaweriti Nikodemu ndo mweni pakwanjira paliya kamgenderiti Yesu. Su, kawagambiriti womberi,
51 “Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
“Lilagaliru lyetu liweza ndiri kumtoza muntu pamberi pa kumpikinira kwanja na kuvimana shakatenda”
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
Womberi wamwankula, “Hashi, gwenga viraa gulawira Galilaya? Su kagabetuli Malembu Mananagala, nagwenga haguwoni kuwera Galilaya hapeni kalawiri mbuyi gwa Mlungu!”
53 Everyone went to his own house,
Kila muntu kagenditi ukaya.
