John 7
1 After these things Jesus resided in Galilee: for He would not appear in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.
Na baada ya makowe aga Yesu atisafiri mu'Galilaya, kwa sababu apendile kwaa kuyenda Uyahudi kwa sababu Bayahudi babile bakipanga mipango ya kummulaga.
2 Now the Jews feast called the feast of tabernacles was near;
Nambeambe sikukuu ya Ayahudi, sikukuu ya vibanda, yabile papipi.
3 his brethren therefore said, Depart from hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples there also may see the works which thou performest.
Nga alongo bake batikummakiya, “Uboke pandu hapa uyende Uyahudi, ili kwamba anapunzi bako nyonyonyo bayabone makowe uyapangayo.
4 For no man doth any thing in secret, who is himself desirous to be known in public. As thou dost these wonderful things, make thyself known to the world.
Ntopo ywapanga lolote kwa siri iwapo ywembe mwene apala kutangikana wazi. Iwapo upanga makowe aga, ujibonekeye wamwene kwa ulimwengu.”
5 For neither did his brethren believe in Him.
Hata nnongo bake bamwaminiye kwaa.
6 Then saith Jesus unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always alike ready; for the world cannot hate you:
Nga Yesu kammakiya, “Muda wango uikite kwaa bado, lakini muda winu kila mana ubile tayari.
7 but me it hates, because I bear my testimony concerning it, that it's deeds are evil.
Ulimwengu waweza kwaa kubachukiya mwenga, ila wanichukiya nenga kwa kuwa niashuhudia kuwa makowe gake ni mabou.
8 Go ye up to this feast as soon as ye please; for I am not yet going up to it, because my time is not yet fully come.
Mubokange kuyenda mu'sikukuu: nenga niyenda kwaa mu'sikukuu yee kwa sababu muda wangu ukamilika bado.”
9 And after He had said these things unto them, He stayed a while in Galilee.
Baada ya kulongela makowe ago kwabe, atami Galilaya.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not in a public manner but as it were in private.
Hata nyoo, nongo bake pababile mu'sikukuu, nga ni ywembe atiyenda, sio kwa wazi bali kwa siri.
11 The Jews therefore sought for Him at the feast, and said, Where is He?
Ayahudi pabile pakimpala mu'sikukuu no baya, “Abile kwaako?”
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning Him: for some said, He is a good man; others said, No: He deceiveth the people.
Pabile ni malongelo ganyansima nkati ya makutano nnani yake. Benge batibaya, “Ni mundu mwema,” Benge babayite, “Hapana, uwapotosha bandu.”
13 No one however spake openly in favor of Him, for fear of the Jews.
Hata nyoo ntopo ywalongela wazi nnani yake kwa kuwaogopa Ayahudi.
14 But when it was now about the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Muda wa sikukuu waikite katikati, Yesu kayenda mu'hekalu ni kuanza kupundisha.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?
Ayahudi babile batishangala no kubaya, “Kwa jinsi yanamani mundu yee ayatangite makowe ganyansima? Asoma kwaa kamwe.”
16 Jesus answered them and said, The doctrine that I teach is not mine, but his that sent me.
Yesu kabayangwa ni kuamakiya, “Mapundisho gango nga yango kwaa, ila ni ya yolo ywanitumile.
17 If any man desire to do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Iwapo yeyote ywapenda panga mapenzi gake ywembe, atangite kuhusu mapundisho aga, kati yatiboka kwa Nnongo, au kati nialongela kuoma kwango mwene.
18 He, that speaketh from himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of Him that sent him is true, and there is no imposture in him.
Kila ywalongela yaboite kwake mwene upala utukufu wake, ila kila yaa aupala utukufu wake ywembe ywamtumile, mundu yoo nga wa kweli, ni nkati yake ntopo kutenda ubou.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you observeth the law? wherefore else do ye seek to kill me?
Musa awapeile kwaa mwenga saliya? Lakini ntopo hata yumo nkati yinu ywaipangite saliya. Mwanja namani mwapala kunibualaga?
20 The people answered and said, Thou art possessed by a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?
Bandu kabannyangwa, “Ubile ni nchela, nyai ywapala kukubulaga?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I performed one miracle on the sabbath, and ye are all amazed at it.
Yesu kayangwa ni kuamakiya, nipangite kazi yimo, ni mwenga mwabote mwatishangala kwa sababu ya yelo kazi.
22 Now Moses gave you the law of circumcision, (not that it is originally from Moses, but from the patriarchs, ) and ye circumcise even on the sabbath:
Musa atikuwapea mwenga tohara (iboite kwaa boka kwa Musa, ila yelo yaboite kwa tate), ni nkati ya Sabato mwastahili mundu.
23 if then a man receive circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye angry with me, because I made a man perfectly well on the sabbath-day?
Mana abile mundu ywapokya tohara mu'siku ya Sabato ili saliya ya Musa itekwanike, kwa mwanja namani mwanikasirikya nenga kwa sababu nimpangite mundu kuwa nkoto kabisa mu'sabato?
24 Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.
Kana mhukumu lengana na mwonekano, ila muhukumu kwa haki.
25 Therefore some of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this He whom they seek to put to death?
Baadhi yabe baboka Yerusalemu kababaya, “Yolo kwaaa wampala kummulaga?
26 and here He talketh openly, and they say nothing to Him: Do the rulers indeed know, that this is in truth the Messiah?
No linga, alongela waziwazi, nga balongela kwaa chochote nnani yake. Iwezekana kwaa ibile kwamba atawala batangite kweli kuwa ayoo nga Kristo, yawezana batangite?
27 But we know whence this man is; whereas when Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence He is.
Twayowine kuwa mundu yolo aboka kwaako. Kristo paaisa, hata nyoo, ntopo ywatangite abokakwaako.
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, ye say, and ye know whence I am: now I am not come of myself, but He that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
Yesu abile akombwa lilobe lyake mu'hekalu, kapundisha no baya, “Mwenga mwabote mtangite paniboka. Niisile kwaa kwa nafasi yango, ila ywembe ywanitumile nga wa kweli, na muntangite kwaa ywembe.
29 But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He hath sent me.
Nintangite ywembe kwa mana niboka kwake nga anitumite.”
30 They sought therefore to seize Him, but no one laid hand on Him, because his hour was not yet come.
Babile kabajaribu kuntaba, lakini ntopo hata yumo ywauluwa luboko lwake nnani yake kwa kuwa saa yake yabile bado iikite.
31 And many of the people believed on Him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will He do more miracles than this man hath done?
Hata nyoo, baingi mu'bandu baaminiya. Kababaya, “Kristo paaisile, alowa panga ishara zanyansima kuliko za azipangite mundu yolo?”
32 Now the pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning Him: and they, with the chief priests, sent officers to seize Him.
Mafarisayo babayowine bandu kabalongela bembe makowe aga husu Yesu, ni akolo ba makuhani ni Mafarisayo watikubatuma maafisa ili kuntaba.
33 Therefore Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while I am to be among you, and then I shall go to Him that sent me.
Palyo Yesu kabaya, “Bado kwabile ni muda nchunu nabile pamope ni mwenga, ni baadae nalowa boka kuyenda kwake ywembe ywanitumile.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, ye cannot come.
Mwalowa kunipala ila munibweni kwaa; kolyo kaniyenda, muweza kwaa kuisa.
35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? will He go to them that are dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
Kwa nyo Ayahudi kabalongela bene kwa bene, “Mundu yoo ayenda kwaako ambako twaweza kwaa kummona? Ayenda kwa batawanyike nkati ya Ayunani ni kubapundisha Ayunani?
36 What is the meaning of this speech, that He said, "Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, ye cannot come?"
Ni neno lyaako lee alibayite,'Mwalowa kunipala wala mwanibweni kwaa, kolyo niyenda muweza kwaa kuisa?”
37 And on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If any one thirst, let him come unto me and drink.
Nambeambe mu'lisiku lya mwisho, lisoba likolo lya sikukuu, Yesu ayemi kakombwa lilobe, kabaya, “Mana itei yeyote abile na kiu, aise kwango anywe.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, rivers of living water shall flow from within him.
Ywembe ywaniaminiye nenga, kati maandiko gabayite, kuoma nkati yake yatitiririka mito ya mase ya ukoto.
39 (This He spake of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive; for the holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Lakini abayite aga kuhusu Roho, ywabile wao watikumwamini walowa kumpoteza; Roho abile bado tolewa kwa sababu Yesu abile atukuzwa kwaa bado.
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this discourse, said, This is in truth a prophet.
Baadhi ya bandu, pabayowine maneno aga, babayite, “Kweli yolo ni nabii.”
41 Others said, This is the Messiah. But some said, Shall the Messiah come out of Galilee?
Benge babayite, “Ayoo nga Kristo.” Lakini benge babayite, “Kristo aweza kwaa boka Galilaya?
42 Hath not the Scripture said, that Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town whence David was.
Maandiko gabayite kwaa kuwa Kristo aboka mu'lukolo lwa Daudi ni kuoma Bethlehemu, kijiji ambacho Daudi abile?
43 So there was a division among the people about Him.
Nyo, patiuluka mgawanyiko nkati ya bandu kwa ajili yake.
44 And some among them would have seized Him: but no one laid hands on Him.
Benge nkati yabe balowa kuntaba, lakini ntopo ywauluwa maboko gake nnani yake.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and pharisees, and they said, Why have ye not brought Him? and the officers answered,
Nga balo maofisa kababuyangine kwa akolo ba makuhani ni mafarisayo, nabo wakaakokeya, “Kwa mwanja namani munletike kwaa?
46 Never man spake like this man.
Maofisa kaayangwa, “Ntopo mundu ywaweza longela kati yolo kabla.”
47 The pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?
Nga mafarisayo kabayangwa, “Ni mwenga pia mwatipotoshwa?
48 have any of the rulers believed on Him, or of the pharisees?
Kwabile ni yoyoti nkati ya atawala amwaminiye, au yeyote wa Mafarisayo?
49 but these people, who know not the law, are cursed.
Ila aba bandu baitangite kwaa saliya-balaanilwe.”
50 Upon this Nicodemus, (who came to Him by night)
Nikodemo kaabakiya (ywembe atikunyendea Yesu zamani, abile yumo ywa Mafarisayo),
51 being one of them, saith to them, Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he hath done?
“Je saliya yitu yaweza kumhukumu mundu ila abile atikusikilizwa kwanza ni kuyowa chaakipangite?
52 They replied, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
Kabanyangwa ni kummakiya, “Ni wenga uboka Galilaya? Tafuta ni ubone kwamba ntopo nabii ywaboka Galilaya.”
53 And every man went to his own house.
