John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Asi Jesu wakaenda kugomo reMiorivhi.
2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
Zvino mangwanani-ngwanani wakauyazve kutembere, vanhu vese ndokuuya kwaari; iye ndokugara pasi akavadzidzisa.
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
Zvino vanyori neVaFarisi vakauya kwaari nemukadzi wakabatwa mukufeva, vakati vamumisa pakati,
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
vakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, mukadzi uyu wabatwa achifeva, pachiitiko chaipo;
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
zvino Mozisi pamurairo wakatiraira kuti vakadaro vatakwe nemabwe; naizvozvo imwi munoti kudini?
6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Asi izvozvi vakareva vachimuedza, kuti vave nechavangamupomera. Asi Jesu wakakotamira pasi, akanyora pasi nemunwe, seasina kuvanzwa.
7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
Zvino vakati vachiramba vachimubvunza, akatasamuka akati kwavari: Asina chivi pakati penyu, ngaatange kukanda ibwe kwaari.
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Zvino akakotamirazve pasi, akanyora pasi.
9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
Zvino ivo vanzwa, vachipiwa mhosva nehana yavo, vakabuda umwe-umwe, kutanga kuvakuru kusvikira kune vekupedzisira; Jesu akasara ari ega, nemukadzi amire pakati.
10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
Jesu wakati atasamuka, akasaona munhu asi mukadzi, akati kwaari: Mai, varipi vaya vapomeri vako? Hakuna wakupa mhosva here?
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
Iye ndokuti: Hakuna, Ishe. Jesu ndokuti kwaari: Neni handikupi mhosva. Enda, usachitadzazve.
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Naizvozvo Jesu wakataurazve kwavari, achiti: Ini ndiri chiedza chenyika; anonditevera haangatongofambi murima, asi achava nechiedza cheupenyu.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
Naizvozvo VaFarisi vakati kwaari: Iwe unopupura nezvako; uchapupu hwako hahuna chokwadi.
14 Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.
Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Kunyange ndichipupura nezvangu ini, uchapupu hwangu ndehwechokwadi; nokuti ndinoziva kwandakabva, uye kwandinoenda; asi imwi hamuzivi kwandakabva, uye kwandinoenda.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
Imwi munotonga maererano nenyama; ini handitongi munhu.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
Asi kunyange ini ndichitonga, kutonga kwangu ndekwechokwadi; nokuti handisi ndega, asi ini naBaba vakandituma.
17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
Uye mumurairo wenyu makanyorwa kuti uchapupu hwevanhu vaviri ndehwechokwadi.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
Ndini ndinopupura nezvangu, naBaba vakandituma vanopupura nezvangu.
19 They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Baba vako varipi? Jesu akapindura akati: Hamuzivi ini, kana Baba vangu. Dai maindiziva ini, mungadai maiziva Baba vanguwo.
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
Jesu wakataura mashoko awa muchivigiro chezvipo, achidzidzisa mutembere; asi hakuna munhu wakamubata, nokuti awa rake rakange risati rasvika.
21 Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come.”
Naizvozvo Jesu wakatizve kwavari: Ini ndinoenda, uye muchanditsvaka, mukafira muzvivi zvenyu; ini pandinoenda, imwi hamugoni kuuyapo.
22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakati: Achazviuraya kanhi? Nokuti anoti: Pandinoenda ini, imwi hamugoni kuuyapo?
23 He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
Zvino akati kwavari: Imwi munobva pasi, ini ndinobva kumusoro; imwi munobva panyika ino, ini handibvi panyika ino.
24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
Naizvozvo ndareva kwamuri kuti muchafira muzvivi zvenyu; nokuti kana musinganditendi kuti ndini iye, muchafira muzvivi zvenyu.
25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Ndiwe ani? Jesu ndokuti kwavari: Ndizvo zvandakuudzaiwo kubva pakutanga.
26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”
Ndine zvinhu zvizhinji zvekutaura nekutonga pamusoro penyu; asi wakandituma ndewechokwadi, uye izvo zvandakanzwa ini kwaari ndizvo zvandinotaura kunyika.
27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
Havana kunzwisisa kuti anotaura kwavari zvaBaba.
28 Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kwavari: Kana masimudza Mwanakomana wemunhu, ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini iye, uye handiiti chinhu pachangu, asi Baba vangu sezvavakandidzidzisa, ndinotaura zvinhu izvi.
29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
Zvino iye wakandituma aneni; Baba havana kundisiya ndega, nokuti ini ndinoita nguva dzese zvinovafadza.
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
Achiri kutaura izvi vazhinji vakatenda kwaari.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kuVaJudha vakatenda kwaari: Kana imwi muchirambira mushoko rangu, muri vadzidzi vangu zvirokwazvo;
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
uye muchaziva chokwadi, uye chokwadi chichakusunungurai.
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
Vakamupindura vakati: Tiri mbeu yaAbhurahama, uye hatina kutongova varanda vemunhu; iwe unoreva sei kuti: Muchava vakasunungurwa?
34 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
Jesu akavapindura akati: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Ani nani anoita chivi muranda wechivi.
Uye muranda haagari mumba nekusingaperi; mwanakomana anogara nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
Naizvozvo kana Mwanakomana achikusunungurai, muchava vakasununguka zvirokwazvo.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
Ndinoziva kuti muri mbeu yaAbhurahama; asi munotsvaka kundiuraya, nokuti shoko rangu harina nzvimbo mamuri.
38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
Ini ndinotaura izvo zvandakaona kuna Baba vangu; naizvozvo nemwi munoita izvo zvamakaona kuna baba venyu.
39 They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
Vakapindura vakati kwaari: Baba vedu ndiAbhurahama. Jesu akati kwavari: Dai maiva vana vaAbhurahama, maiita mabasa aAbhurahama.
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
Asi ikozvino munotsvaka kundiuraya, munhu wakakuudzai chokwadi, chandakanzwa kuna Mwari; izvo Abhurahama haana kuzviita.
41 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
Imwi munoita mabasa ababa venyu. Naizvozvo vakati kwaari: Hatina kuberekwa neupombwe isu; tina Baba vamwe, Mwari.
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.
Jesu akati kwavari: Dai Mwari aiva Baba venyu, maindida; nokuti ini ndakabuda ndichibva kuna Mwari; nokuti handina kuzviuyira, asi iye wakandituma.
43 Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
Sei musinganzwisisi nhaurwa yangu? Nokuti hamugoni kunzwa shoko rangu.
44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
Imwi muri vababa venyu dhiabhorosi, munoda kuita zvishuvo zvababa venyu. Iye wakange ari mhondi kubva pakutanga, asingagari muchokwadi, nokuti maari hamuna chokwadi. Kana achitaura nhema, anotaura pachake; nokuti mutauri wenhema uye baba vadzo.
45 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
Asi nokuti ini ndinoreva chokwadi, hamunditendi.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Ndiani kwamuri angandipomera pamusoro pechivi? Uye kana ndichireva chokwadi, imwi munoregerei kunditenda?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
Uyo anobva kuna Mwari anonzwa mashoko aMwari; naizvozvo imwi hamunzwi, nokuti hamubvi kuna Mwari.
48 Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakapindura vakati kwaari: Isu hatina kureva kwazvo here kuti iwe uri muSamaria, uye une dhimoni?
49 Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
Jesu akapindura, akati: Ini handina dhimoni, asi ndinokudza Baba vangu; asi imwi munondizvidza.
50 But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
Asi ini handitsvaki rumbidzo yangu; ariko anotsvaka nekutonga.
Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Kana munhu akachengeta shoko rangu, haangatongooni rufu nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’ (aiōn g165)
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakati kwaari: Ikozvino toziva kuti une dhimoni; Abhurahama wakafa, nevaporofita, asi iwe unoti: Kana munhu akachengeta shoko rangu, haangatongoraviri rufu nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
Iwe uri mukuru kuna baba vedu Abhurahama, vakafa? Nevaporofita vakafa; iwe unozviita ani?
54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
Jesu akapindura akati: Kana ini ndichizvikudza, rukudzo rwangu harwusi chinhu; ndiBaba vangu vanondikudza, avo imwi vamunoti ndiMwari wenyu.
55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.
Uye hamuna kuvaziva; asi ini ndinovaziva, uye kana ndikati handivazivi, ndichava murevi wenhema semwi; asi ndinovaziva, ndinochengeta shoko ravo.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
Baba venyu Abhurahama vakafara kuona zuva rangu, uye vakariona vakapembera.
57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakati kwaari: Hausati wava nemakore makumi mashanu, zvino wakaona Abhurahama here?
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
Jesu akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Abhurahama asati avapo, ini ndiripo.
59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.
Ipapo vakanonga mabwe kuti vaposhere kwaari; asi Jesu wakazvivanza, akabuda mutembere, achigura nepakati pavo; akapfuura saizvozvo.
