John 8
1 And at dawn he came again to the temple,
Pakumala yeleyo Che Yesu ŵajawile ku chikwesya cha Miseituni.
2 and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
Malaŵi jakwe kundaŵi pe, Che Yesu ŵajawile sooni pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Ŵandu wose ŵansyungwile, nombewo ŵatemi ni kutanda kwajiganya.
3 and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
Nipele Ŵakwiganya malajisyo pamo ni Mafalisayo ŵannyichenawo jwankongwe juŵakamwilwe ali nkutenda chikululu. Ŵanjimiche jwankongwe jo paujo pa ŵandu.
4 they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
Nipele ŵambusisye Che Yesu, “Jwakwiganya, jwankongwe ju akamwilwe ali nkutenda chikululu.
5 and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
Mmalajisyo getu che Musa ŵatulajisye yele, jwankongwe mpela aju aulajikwe kwa kuputikwa ni maganga. Nambi mmwejo nkuti uli?”
6 and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,
Ŵatite yeleyo kuti ŵalinje Che Yesu akole chakumbechetela. Nambo Che Yesu ŵakoteme ni kulemba paasi ni chala chakwe.
7 and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;'
Paŵapundile kumbusya, Che Yesu ŵajinamukwiche ni kwasalila, “Naga kwana mundu jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe jwanganakola sambi aŵe jwaandanda kumponya liganga.”
8 and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
Nipele ŵakoteme sooni ni kulemba paasi.
9 and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
Paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵatandite kutyoka jumo jumo achilongolelaga achachekulu. Che Yesu ŵasigele jikape ni jwankongwe jula ali ajimi palapala.
10 And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'
Ni Che Yesu paŵajinamukwiche ŵambusisye jwankongwe jula, “Amao, ŵandu ŵala alinji kwapi? Uli, ngapagwa jwanlamwile mmwejo?”
11 and she said, 'No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
Jwankongwe jula ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, ngapagwa namose jumo jwanamwile!” Nombe Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Uneji nombe ngangunlamula. Njaule, nambo kutandila sambano nkatenda sambi sooni.”
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'
Che Yesu ŵakungulwiche sooni ni ŵandu achitiji, “Uneji ndili lilanguka lya pachilambo pano. Mundu jwalijose jwakunguya uneji ngajenda mu chipi ng'o, nambo chakole ni lilanguka lya umi.”
13 The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
Nipele Mafalisayo ŵansalile, “Nkusala umboni wenu mwasyene, sambano umboni wenu uli wa unami.”
14 Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.
Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Atamuno nasalaga umboni wangu nansyene, umboni wangu uli usyene ligongo uneji nakumanyi kungopochele ni kungwaula. Nambo mwanya ngankukumanyilila kungopochele ni kungwaula.
15 'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
Ŵanyamwe nkulamula kwa ng'anisyo sya chiundu nambo uneji ngangunlamula mundu.
16 and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
Naatamuno nalamulaga, ulamusi wangu uli usyene ligongo uneji ngangupanganya masengo jika, Atati ŵandumile une wo ali pamo ni une.
17 and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
Ilembekwe mmalajisyo genu, umboni wa ŵandu ŵaŵili uli wa usyene.
18 I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'
Uneji ngusala umboni wangu nansyene, ni Atati ŵandumile nombe akusala umboni wangu.”
19 They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'
Pelepo ŵambusisye, “Ana Atati ŵenu ali kwapi?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ŵanyamwe ngankuumanyilila uneji atamuno ngankummanyilila Atati ŵangu. Nkaamanyilile uneji nkaamanyilile Atati ŵangu nombe.”
20 These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;
Che Yesu ŵaŵechete maloŵe go mu chuumba cha mbiko, paŵaliji nkwiganya pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Ni nganapagwa mundu juŵankamwile pakuŵa katema kakwe kaliji kakanaŵe kwika.
21 therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'
Che Yesu ŵaasalile sooni, “Uneji ngwaula ni ŵanyamwe chimuusose, nambo chimmwe mu sambi syenu. Kungwaula uneji, ŵanyamwe ngankombola kwika.”
22 The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'
Nipele, achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵatite, “Ana chaliulaje? Ana kwa ligongo chi akuti, ‘Kungwaula ŵanyamwe ngankombola kwika?’”
23 and he said to them, 'Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe nkopochele papapa pachilambo cha paasi, nambo uneji ngopochele kwinani. Ŵanyamwe nlinji ŵa pachilambo pano, nambo uneji nguniŵa jwa pachilambo pano.
24 I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.'
Kwaligongo lyo nansalile kuti chimmwe mu sambi syenu. Pakuŵa ngankukulupilila kuti, ‘Uneji ndili jwelejo’ chimmwe mu sambi syenu.”
25 They said, therefore, to him, 'Thou — who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;
Nombe ŵanyawo ŵambusisye, “Ana mmwejo ni ŵaani?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uneji ndili jwelejo, mpela inansalile chitandile kundanda!
26 many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.'
Ngwete yejinji yakuŵecheta ni kulamula nkati ŵanyamwe. Nambo ŵandumile une ali ŵausyene, none ngwasalila ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo yeila pe imbilikene kutyochela kwa ŵelewo.”
27 They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
Ŵanyawo nganaimanyilila kuti Che Yesu ŵaŵechetaga nawo yankati ngani sya Akunnungu, Atati ŵao.
28 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Pachimunnyakule Mwana jwa Mundu, pelepo ni pachimmanyilile kuti, ‘Uneji ndili jwelejo,’ ni chimmanyilile kuti ngangupanganya chachili chose nansyene, nambo nguŵecheta yeila pe inyiganyikwe ni Atati.
29 and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'
Ŵandumile ŵala ali pamo ni uneji, nganaaneka jika, pakuŵa moŵa gose nguitendekanya aila yaikwanonyela.”
30 As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵampilikanile Che Yesu achiŵechetaga maloŵe ga ŵankulupilile.
31 Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakulupilile ŵala kuti, “Mwaikamulichisyaga inanjigenye, chimme ŵakulijiganya ŵangu ŵa usyenesyene.
32 and the truth shall make you free.'
Chimuumanyilile usyene, ni usyene wo chiuntende ŵalecheleswe.”
33 They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?'
Nombe ŵanyawo ŵanjanjile, “Tuli uŵelesi u che Iblahimu ni nganituŵa achikapolo ŵa mundu jwalijose. Ana malumbo gakwe chichi pankuti, ‘Chinchilecheleswa?’”
34 Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,
Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Ngunsalila isyene, mundu jwalijose jwakutendekanya sambi ali kapolo jwa sambi.
35 and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; (aiōn g165)
Kapolo ngakutama pamusi moŵa gose, nambo mwanache akutama pamusi moŵa gose. (aiōn g165)
36 if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
Nipele Mwana annechelesyaga ŵanyamwe nombe chimbe ŵalecheleswe kusyenesyene.
37 'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;
Naimanyi kuti ŵanyamwe nlinji uŵelesi u che Iblahimu. Nambo nkusaka kumulaga ligongo nkugakana majiganyo gangu.
38 I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.'
Uneji nguŵecheta aila pe yanosisye Atati ŵangu, nambo ŵanyamwe nkupanganya aila yansalile atati ŵenu.”
39 They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;
Ŵanyawo ŵanjanjile, “Uweji Atati ŵetu ali che Iblahimu!” Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe nkaŵe ŵanache ŵa che Iblahimu nkaitendekenye aila iŵaitendekenye che Iblahimu.
40 and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;
Uneji nansalile usyene unaupilikene kutyochela kwa Akunnungu, atamuno yeleyo ŵanyamwe nkusaka kumulaga. Che Iblahimu nganapanganya yeleyo!
41 ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;'
Ŵanyamwe nkutendekanya ilaila yaitesile atati ŵenu.” Ŵanyawo ŵansalile, “Uweji nganitupagwe kwa chikululu! Tukwete atati ŵamope, ŵelewo ali Akunnungu.”
42 Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ikaŵe Akunnungu ali Atati ŵenu, nkaanonyele uneji pakuŵa uneji natyosile kwa Akunnungu ni sambano ndili papapa pepa. Nguniika kwa malamulo gangu nansyene nambo kwa malamulo ga ŵandumile une wo.
43 wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
Ana kwachichi ngankugapilikanichisya ginguŵecheta ga? Ligongo ngankusaka kugapilikana maloŵe gangu.
44 'Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.
Ŵanyamwe atati ŵenu Jwakulinga ni ŵanyamwe nkusaka kutendekanya yaikwanonyelesya atati ŵenu. Chitandile kundanda jwelejo ŵaliji jwakuulaga, ni nganawai kwima ku upande wa usyene, mwa jwelejo nganiupagwa usyene. Paakuŵecheta ya unami, akuŵecheta yatite kusyoŵelela, pakuŵa jwelejo ali jwa unami ni atati jwa unami wose.
45 'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
Pakuŵa uneji ngunsalila usyene, ŵanyamwe ngankungulupilila.
46 Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?
Mwa ŵanyamwe nduni juchakombole kuŵalanga umboni kuti uneji ngwete sambi? Ana iŵaga nguŵecheta usyene, kwachichi ngankungulupilila?
47 he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'
Ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu akugapilikana maloŵe gakuŵecheta Akunnungu, ŵanyamwe ngankupilikana pakuŵa ŵanyamwe nganimma ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu.”
48 The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
Ŵayahudi ŵanjanjile Che Yesu, “Ana nganitusala uchenene kuti mmwejo ndi Msamalia ni sooni nkwete lisoka?”
49 Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Uneji nganingola lisoka. Uneji ngwachimbichisya Atati ŵangu, nambo ŵanyamwe ngankunjimbichisya une.
50 and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
Uneji ngangulisosela ukulu wangu nansyene. Apali jumo jwakuusosela ukulu wo, nombejo ali jwakulamula.
51 verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' (aiōn g165)
Ngunsalila isyene, mundu jwalijose jwakugakamulichisya majiganyo gangu ngaawa nambo chatame moŵa gose pangali mbesi.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age! (aiōn g165)
Ŵayahudi ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Sambano twimanyi uchenene kuti mmwejo nkwete lisoka! Che Iblahimu ŵawile, ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵawile iyoyo peyo, nomwe nkuti, ‘Mundu jwalijose agakamulichisyaga majiganyo gangu ngaawa!’ (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'
Ana mmwejo nkulitenda ŵakulungwa kwapunda atati ŵetu che Iblahimu juŵawile jula? Natamuno ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ŵawile nombewo. Sambano mmwejo nkulitenda ŵaani?”
54 Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nalikusyaga une nansyene, ukulu wangu ngaŵa chindu. Atati ŵangu ŵankwaŵilanga Akunnungu ŵenu, ŵelewo ni ŵakungusya une.
55 and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;
Ŵanyamwe ngannaŵe kwamanyilila, nambo uneji naamanyi. Nombe nasalaga kuti ngangwamanyilila, chime jwaunami mpela ŵanyamwe. Uneji ngwamanyilila ni ngulikamulichisya liloŵe lyao.
56 Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
Atati ŵenu che Iblahimu ŵasangalele aliwone lyuŵa lya kwika kwangu, nombewo ŵaliweni ni ŵasengwile.”
57 The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'
Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵaasalile, “Mmwejo nkuti uli kuti mwaweni che Iblahimu nomwe nganinnyiche yaka makumi nsano?”
58 Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;'
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngunsalila isyene, akanaŵe kupagwa che Iblahimu uneji napali.”
59 they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Pelepo ŵalokwete maganga achisakaga kwaponya, nambo Che Yesu ŵaalesile ni kutyoka pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
