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.
Panyuma pakendi Yesu walikwendana mucishi ca Galileya, nkalikuyanda kuya Yudeya. Pakwinga bamakulene Babayuda balikuyanda kumushina.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
Cindi cakusekelela mishasha calikuba pepi,
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.
lino bakwabo Yesu balamwambileti, “Inga nicani kutaya kuYudeya kwambeti beshikwiya bakobe bakabone bikankamanisho mbyolenshinga.
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.”
Kuliya muntu ukute kusoleka mbyalenshinga na kayanda kwinshibikwa. Kwelana ne mbyolenshinga leka bantu bonse bakwinshibe.”
5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
Nambi bamakwabo balambeco nkabali kumushoma.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Yesu walabambileti, “Cindi cakame nkacitana cishika, nsombi amwe mukute cindi cakuya kulikonse nkomulayandanga.
7 The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
Bantu basuni byapanshi pano nkabela kumupata, nsombi bakute kupata njame, pakwinga nkute kubalesha ncito shabo shaipa.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
Amwe kamuyani akusekelela uko. Ame nkandengonga pakwinga cindi cakame nkacina cishika.”
9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
Yesu mpwalambeco, walashalila mu Galileya.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
Nomba bamakwabo mpobalaya akusekelela mishasha isa, Yesu neye walabakonkela. Nomba liya kuyanda kubonekela kubantu.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
Bamakulene ba Bayuda balikumuyandaula uko nkobalikusekelela, nkabepushaneti, “Nomba usa muntu ulikupeyo?”
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.”
Popelapo palikuba kunung'unusha palyendiye. Bambi balikwambeti, “Usa muntu waina”Nsombi bambi balikwambeti, “Sobwe, usa layungaulunga bantu.”
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Nomba nkapalikuba muntu weshikwamba patuba sha Yesu, pakwinga balikutina Bayuda.
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Lino kusekelela mpokwalashika pakati, Yesu walaya ku Nga'nda ya Lesa nekutatika kwiyisha.
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
Bamakulene ba Bayuda balakankamana nekwambeti, “Nomba muntu uyu ubinshi aconi bintu ibi pabula balamwiyishapo!”
16 Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
Nomba Yesu walambeti, “Mbyonkute kwiyisha nte byakame sobwe, nsombi bikute kufuma kuli Bata abo balantuma.
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.
Uliyense layandanga kwinsa kuyanda kwa Lesa, nakenshibeti kwiyisha kwakame kulafumunga kuli Lesa nteko kuli ndemwine
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.
Pakwinga muntu lambangowa byakendi ukute kuliyandawila bulemu. Nsombi nendi ukute bulemu bwa uyo walamutuma, wopeloyo ewancine ncine, kayi mumoyo mwakendi muliya bwipishi.
19 Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
“Lino sena Mose liya kumupa Milawo ya Lesa? Nsombi paliya naba umo mulinjamwe ukute kwikonkela. Nomba nicani mulayandanga kunshina?”
20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
Nsombi likoto lya bantu lyalamukumbuleti, “Sena ulakonyo. Layandanga kukushina niyani?”
21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Ndalensowa ceshikukankamanisha cimo, mwense mwalakankamana.”
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
“Nte pasa Mose walamupa mulawo wa kupalula bana benu batuloba (mulawo uyo uliya kufuma kuli Mose nsombi walafuma kubamashali benu bakulukulu.) Neco mukute kupalula mwana mutuloba nambi nipa busuba bwa Sabata.”
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?
“Na mwanoyo mukute kumupalula pa Sabata, nicani nkamukute kutina kupwaya mulawo wa Mose? Nomba nicani mulankalalilinga pacebo cakwambeti ndashilika muntu pabusuba bwa Sabata?
24 Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
Kamucileka kombolosha kwakulanga pamenso, lino tatikani kombolosha mubululami.”
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
Popelapo bantu nabambi baku Yelusalemu balambeti, “Sena muntu usa ngobalayandanga kushina, nte wopele uyu?
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?
Nte uyu lambanga patuba, kwakubula weshikwambapo kantu kalikonse! Ekwambeti aba bantu bacinsheti eMupulushi Walaiwa?
27 However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
Mupulushi Walaiwa akesa, paliya weshakenshibe nkoshakafume. Nomba uyu tukwinshi twense nkwalafumunga.”
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.
Popelapo Yesu kaciyisha mu Nga'nda ya Lesa walolobesha, “Mukwinshi nkondalafuma. Nsombi ndiya kwisa palwakame sobwe. Uyo walantuma washomeka, nomba amwe nkamumwinshi.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
Nsombi ame ndikwinshi, pakwinga njame ndalafuma kulyendiye, kayi endiye walantuma.”
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Popelapo bantu balayanda kumwikata Yesu, nsombi paliya nambi umo walamwikatamo, pakwinga cindi cakendi calikacitana cishika.
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?”
Bantu bangi mulikoto ilyo balamushoma, kayi balikwambeti, “Mupulushi Walaiwa akesa, nakensepo bingashilo byapita ibi muntuyu mbyalenshi?”
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Neco Bafalisi balanyumfwa kunung'unusha kwa bantu balikwamba sha Yesu. Nomba bamakulene beshimilumbo balatuma bamalonda bamu Nga'nda ya Lesa kwambeti bamwikate.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
Lino Yesu walabambileti, “Ndi nenu kwa kacindi kang'ana kantananja kuli walantuma.
34 You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
Cakubinga nimukanyandaule, nsombi nteshi mukancane. Kayi uko nkondenga amwe nkamwela kushikako.”
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?
Popelapo bamakulene ba Bayuda balatatika kwipushaneti, “Uyu layandanga kuya kupeyo uko afwe nkotwela kubula kumucana? Sena layandanga kuya kuminshi ya ba Giliki kwekala bantu betu nekuya kubeyisha?
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’?”
Lambangeti, nimukanangaule nsombi nteshi mukancane, kayi eti, uko nkwalenga, amwe nkamwela kushikako. Anu maswi awa alapandululunga cani?”
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!
Pa busuba bunene bwakupwisha kusekelela. Yesu walemana nekwamba mwakolobesha, “Napali muntu ukute inyotwa, kesani kulinjame kwisakunwa.
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
Muntu wanshoma, moyo wakendi nukabeti tumilonga twa menshi eshikupa buyumi. Mbuli Mabala a Lesa ncalambangeti, nakabeti tumilonga twa menshi”
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 walamba sha Mushimu Uswepa uyo bantu bamushoma ngoshi bakatambule. Pacindico Mushimu Uswepa walinkautana upewa kubantu, pakwinga Yesu walinkatana utambula bulemu bwakendi.
40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
Popelapo likoto lya bantu mpolyalanyumfwa maswi awa, nabambi balatatika kwambeti, “Cancine muntu uyu niMushinshimi.”
41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Nabambi balikwambeti, “uyu eMupulushi Walaiwa usa.” Nsombi nabambi balikwambeti, “Sena Mupulushi Walaiwa ngaufuma ku Galileya sobwe!
42 Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
Mabala a Lesa alambangeti Mupulushi Walaiwa wela kufumina mu cikombo ca Mwami Dafeti, kayi wela kusemenwa mumunshi wa Betelehemu uko nkwalikwikala Dafeti”
43 So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
Lino bantu balatatika kupansana pacebo ca Yesu.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Nabambi balikuyanda kumwikata, nsombi paliya walamwikata.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
Bamalonda ba Nga'nda ya Lesa basa balabwelela kuli bamakulene beshimilumbo neBafalilsi. Nabo balepusha bamalonda basa, “nicani muliya kwisa nendi?”
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
Bamalonda balakumbuleti, “Bintu uyu muntu mbyalamba paliya muntu naumbi walabyambapo sobwe.”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
Lino Bafalisi balambeti, “Sena nenjamwe lamubepe kendi?
48 Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
Sena mwalanyumfwapo kwambeti umo wabamakulene nambi Bafalisi pali wamushoma?
49 But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
Nomba bantu aba baluya batainshi Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose, ecebo cakendi bashinganwa.”
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
Lino Nikodemo, umo waBafalisi, usa walaya kuli Yesu kumasuba akunyuma, walabepusha banendi,
51 “Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
“Sena milawo yetu yasuminisha kombolosha muntu ngotutana tunyumfwapo maswi akendi kwambeti twinshibe mbyalenshi?”
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
Nabo balambeti, “Sena nenjobe owakuGalileya? Koya ubelenge Mabala niwinshibeti kuliya mushinshimi wela kufuma kuGalileya.”
53 Everyone went to his own house,
Popelapo bantu bonse balabwelela kucomwabo.
