John 7
1 After these things Jesus resided in Galilee: for He would not appear in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.
Pegamaliki genago, Yesu agendayi ku Galilaya kwenuko. Aganili lepi kugenda pamulima wa Yudea ndava Vachilongosi va Vayawudi vaganayi kumkoma.
2 Now the Jews feast called the feast of tabernacles was near;
Lukumbi lwa mselebuko wa Vayawudi wewukemelewa vindanda wavi 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.
Hinu, valongo vaki vakamjovela mwene, “Uwuka penapa na uhambayi ku Yudea muni vevakulanda vagawonayi mahengu gaku geukugahenga.
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.
Kawaka mundu mweihenga mambu cha mfiyu kuni mwene igana kumanyikana kwa vandu. Ndava wikita mambu ago, hinu jilangilasa kwa vandu va mulima woha.”
5 For neither did his brethren believe in Him.
Hati valongo vaki mewawa vamsadika lepi.
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:
Yesu akavajovela, “Lukumbi lwangu lwabwina lwakona kuhika, nambu kwa nyenye lukumbi lwoha lwabwina.
7 but me it hates, because I bear my testimony concerning it, that it's deeds are evil.
Vandu va mulima nakuhotola kuvahakalila nyenye, nambu ukunihakalila nene ndava nene nijova kuvya matendu gaki gahakau.
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.
Nyenye mhamba kumselebuko. Nambu nene nakuhamba kumselebuko wenuwo, muni lukumbi lwangu lwabwina lwakona kuhika.”
9 And after He had said these things unto them, He stayed a while in Galilee.
Peamalili kujova genago, mwene akasigalila ku 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.
Valongo vaki pevahambili kumselebuko wa vindanda, Yesu namwene akahamba, nambu lepi hotohoto ndi chamfiyu.
11 The Jews therefore sought for Him at the feast, and said, Where is He?
Vachilongosi va Vayawudi vamlondayi Yesu kumselebuko wenuwo, vakakota “Avi koki?”
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.
Pamsambi wa vandu kwavi na vandu vamahele vevajovai chinunu. Vangi pagati yavi vakajova, “Mundu mbwina.” Vangi vakajova, “Mwe! Akuvayaganisa vandu.”
13 No one however spake openly in favor of Him, for fear of the Jews.
Nambu avi lepi mundu mweahotwili kujova malovi ga Yesu hotohoto, ndava ya kuvayogopa Vachilongosi va Vayawudi.
14 But when it was now about the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Peyahikili pagati ya mselebuko, Yesu akahamba mu Nyumba ya Chapanga na kutumbula kuwula.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?
Hinu, Vachilongosi va Vayawudi vakakangasa na kujova, “Mundu uyu agamanyili wuli goha aga changali mwene kuwuliwa na mundu?”
16 Jesus answered them and said, The doctrine that I teach is not mine, but his that sent me.
Penapo Yesu akavayangula, “Mawuliwu genikugawula aga ganamwene lepi, nambu gaki yula mweanitumili.
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.
Mundu mweigana kuhenga gala geigana Chapanga, yati imanya ngati mawuliwu gangu gahumili kwa Chapanga amala nijova namwene.
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.
Mweijova ga mwene ndu, mwenuyu ilonda ukulu waki mwene, nambu yula mweilonda ukulu wa mweamtumili, ndi chakaka na mugati yaki kawaka uhakau.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you observeth the law? wherefore else do ye seek to kill me?
Wu, Musa avapelili lepi Malagizu? Nambu kawaka hati mmonga mweiyidakila Malagizu. Ndava kyani mulonda kunikoma?”
20 The people answered and said, Thou art possessed by a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?
Bahapo msambi wa vandu ukayangula, “Una mizuka veve! Yani mweigana kukukoma?”
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I performed one miracle on the sabbath, and ye are all amazed at it.
Yesu akavayangula, “Nikitili ulangisu umonga na nyenye uvakangisi.
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 avapeli malagizu ga kudumula jandu ndi wahumili lepi kwa Musa muni wahumili kwa vagogo. Hinu nyenye mukumdumula mundu jandu hati Ligono la Kupumulila.
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?
Yakavya mundu idumuliwa jandu Ligono la Kupumulila, ndi muni malagizu ga Musa ukoto kudenywa, hinu ndava kyani mukuniyomela ndava ya kumlamisa mundu mu Ligono la Kupumulila?
24 Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.
Mkotoka kumuhamula mundu kwa kumlola chakuvala ndu, nambu muhamula cheyiganikiwa.”
25 Therefore some of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this He whom they seek to put to death?
Vandu vangi va pa Yelusalemu vajovili, “Wu, mundu mwenuyu lepi yula vachilongosi vilonda kumkoma?
26 and here He talketh openly, and they say nothing to Him: Do the rulers indeed know, that this is in truth the Messiah?
Mlola, ilongela hotohoto kawaka mundu mweakumjovela hati lilovi! Wu yihotoleka vachilongosi vamanyili chakaka, mwenuyu ndi Kilisitu?
27 But we know whence this man is; whereas when Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence He is.
Nambu Kilisitu peibwela avi lepi mundu yati imanya ihumila koki. Nambu tete tikumanyi kwe ahumili mundu uyu!”
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.
Hinu, Yesu peavili mukuwula Munyumba ya Chapanga akajova kwa lwami, “Mwe! Mnimanyili, hati kwe nihumili mukukumanya? Nene nibweli lepi kwa uhotola wangu. Muni mwene mweanitumili nene ndi wa chakaka, na nyenye nakummanya,
29 But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He hath sent me.
nambu nene nimmanyili ndava nihumili kwaki, mwene ndi mweanitumili.”
30 They sought therefore to seize Him, but no one laid hand on Him, because his hour was not yet come.
Hinu, vandu vakalonda kumkamula, nambu kawaka mundu mweatalambwili chiwoko kumpamisa ndava lukumbi lwaki lwavi lwakona kuhika.
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?
Vandu vamahele mu msambi wula vamsadiki, vakajova, “Peibwela Kilisitu Msangula, yati ihenga milangisu ya kukangasa yamahele neju kuliku yeihenga mundu uyu?”
32 Now the pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning Him: and they, with the chief priests, sent officers to seize Him.
Vafalisayu vevayuwini vandu vijova ga pahi ndava ya Yesu. Hinu, vene pamonga na Vamteta vakulu va Chapanga vavatumili valonda va nyumba ya Chapanga vamkamulayi.
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.
Yesu akajova, “Nakona nivii pamonga na nyenye palukumbi luhupi, kangi nihamba kwa mwene mweanitumili.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, ye cannot come.
Yati mukunilonda nambu nakuniwona, na penivya nene, nyenye nakuhotola kuhika.”
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?
Vachilongosi va Vayawudi vakajovesana vene kwa vene, “Mundu mwenuyu yati ihamba koki kwe nakuhotola kumkamula? Yati ihamba kumiji ya Vagiliki, kwevahamalili vandu vitu na kuvawula Vagiliki?
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?"
Mwenuyu ijova kyani peijova, yati mukunilonda nambu nakuniwona na pala penivya nene nyenye nakuhotola kuhika?”
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.
Ligono la kumalakisa mselebuko wenuwo ndi lavi ligono likulu, Yesu akayima na kujova kwa lwami mundu mweavi na njota ndi abwela kwanene anywayi.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, rivers of living water shall flow from within him.
Ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi, mweakunisadika nene, mifuleni ya manji yeyileta wumi yati yihelela mumtima waki.
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.)
Ajovili genago kumvala Mpungu Msopi kuvya vevakumsadika vala yati vakumpokela. Lukumbi lwenulo Mpungu Msopi avi akona kuhika, ndava Yesu avi akona kupewa ukulu na Chapanga.
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this discourse, said, This is in truth a prophet.
Vandu vangi mu msambi wula pevayuwini malovi ago, vakajova, “Chakaka mundu uyu ndi yula mlota wa Chapanga!”
41 Others said, This is the Messiah. But some said, Shall the Messiah come out of Galilee?
Vangi vakajova, “mwenuyu ndi Kilisitu.” Nambu vangi vakajova, “Wu, yihotoleka Kilisitu kuhuma ku Galilaya?
42 Hath not the Scripture said, that Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town whence David was.
Wu, Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova wuli? Gijova Kilisitu yati ihumila mu lukolo lwa Daudi na ivelekewa ku Betelehemu, pamuji wa Daudi.”
43 So there was a division among the people about Him.
Hinu, mu msambi wula mpechenganu wahumalili ndava ya Yesu.
44 And some among them would have seized Him: but no one laid hands on Him.
Vandu vangi vaganayi kumkamula nambu avi lepi mundu mweatalambwili chiwoko chaki kumpamisa.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and pharisees, and they said, Why have ye not brought Him? and the officers answered,
Kangi valonda vala vakavahambila Vakulu va kuteta va Chapanga na Vafalisayu. Ndi vene vakavakota valonda, “Ndava kyani, mwangamleta Yesu?”
46 Never man spake like this man.
Valonda vala vakayangula, “Avi lepi mundu mweamali kujova vindu vyeajovili mundu uyu!”
47 The pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?
Vafalisayu vakavakota, “Wu, na nyenye mkongiwi mewa?
48 have any of the rulers believed on Him, or of the pharisees?
Wu, mumuwene hati mmonga wa chilongosi wa vandu, amala mmonga wa Vafalisayu mweakumsadika?
49 but these people, who know not the law, are cursed.
Lepi, nambu msambi wenuwo vangamanya Malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa, vapeliwi likoto na Chapanga!”
50 Upon this Nicodemus, (who came to Him by night)
Mmonga wavi avi Nikodemu mweamuhambili Yesu magono ga mumbele. Hinu mwene akavajovela.
51 being one of them, saith to them, Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he hath done?
“Malagizu gitu gijova tikumuhamula lepi mundu changali kumuyuwanila na kumanya ahengili kyani?”
52 They replied, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
Vene vakamyangula, “Wu, na veve mewa uhumili ku Galilaya? Hinu ukagasoma bwina Mayandiku Gamsopi wamwene yati wilola kuvya ku Galilaya katu nakuhuma mlota wa Chapanga!”
53 And every man went to his own house.
Penapo kila mmonga awuyili kunyumba yaki.
