Yohanes 7
1 Emegbe la, Yesu yi Galilea henɔ tsatsam le kɔƒewo me. Medi be yeayi Yudea o, elabena Yudatɔwo nɔ nugbe ɖom ɖe eŋu le afi ma be yewoawui.
After these things, Iesus walked in Galile, and woulde not walke in Iudea: for the Iewes sought to kill him.
2 Gake esi Yudatɔwo ƒe Agbadɔmeŋkekenyui la tu aƒe la,
Nowe the Iewes feast of the Tabernacles was at hande.
3 Yesu nɔviŋutsuwo gblɔ nɛ be, “Ele be nàdzo le afi sia ayi Yudea, be wò nusrɔ̃lawo nakpɔ nukunu siwo nèwɔna la.
His brethren therefore sayde vnto him, Depart hence, and goe into Iudea, that thy disciples may see thy woorkes that thou doest.
4 Ame si dina be yeazu ame ŋkuta la mewɔa nu le bebeme o, eya ta esi nèle nu siawo wɔm la, ele be nàɖe ɖokuiwò afia xexea me.”
For there is no man that doeth any thing secretely, and hee himselfe seeketh to be famous. If thou doest these things, shewe thy selfe to the worlde.
5 Nɔviawo gblɔ esia, elabena womexɔ edzi se o.
For as yet his brethren beleeued not in him.
6 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ɣeyiɣi sia menye ɣeyiɣi nyuitɔ nam be mayi o, ke miawo la, ɣeyiɣi ɖe sia ɖe nyo na mi.
Then Iesus saide vnto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway readie.
7 Miawo la, xexea me tɔwo mate ŋu alé fu mi o, ke nye la, wolé fum, elabena megblɔna na wo be woƒe nuwɔnawo nye nu vɔ̃ɖi.
The world can not hate you: but me it hateth, because I testifie of it, that the workes thereof are euill.
8 Mido ŋgɔ mianɔ yiyim faa. Ne ɣeyiɣi nyuitɔ ɖo nam ko la, nye hã madze mia yome.”
Go ye vp vnto this feast: I wil not go vp yet vnto this feast: for my time is not yet fulfilled.
9 Ale Yesu tsi Galilea le ŋkeke mawo me.
These things he sayde vnto them, and abode still in Galile.
10 Esi Yesu nɔviŋutsuwo dzo vɔ megbe la, eya hã yi Ŋkekenyui la ɖuƒe. Ke eyi le bebeme.
But assoone as his brethren were gone vp, then went hee also vp vnto the feast, not openly, but as it were priuilie.
11 Yudatɔwo ƒe amegãwo dii vevie le azã la ɖuƒe, eye wonɔ eta biam be, “Afi ka ŋutsu ma le?”
Then the Iewes sought him at the feast, and saide, Where is hee?
12 Ame geɖewo nɔ nu ƒom le eŋu le amehawo dome. Ame aɖewo gblɔ be, “Enye ame nyui.” Ame bubuwo hã gblɔ be, “Alakpatɔ wònye le amewo flum.”
And much murmuring was there of him among the people. Some said, He is a good man: other sayd, Nay: but he deceiueth the people.
13 Ke dzideƒo menɔ ame siwo nɔ ekafum la si be woaƒo nu tso eŋu le dutoƒo o, elabena wonɔ vɔvɔ̃m na Yudatɔwo.
Howbeit no man spake openly of him for feare of the Iewes.
14 Esi ŋkekenyui la ƒe afã nu yi la, Yesu yi ɖe gbedoxɔ la me, eye wòde asi nufiafia amewo me.
Nowe when halfe the feast was done, Iesus went vp into the Temple and taught.
15 Ewɔ nuku na Yudatɔwo ƒe amegãwo ŋutɔ esi wose nu siwo gblɔm wònɔ le gbedoxɔ la me. Wobia be, “Aleke ame sia wɔ nya nu siawo, togbɔ be mede suku aɖeke o?”
And the Iewes marueiled, saving, Howe knoweth this man the Scriptures, seeing that hee neuer learned!
16 Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Nye la, nyemele nu siwo menya la fiam o, ke boŋ etso Mawu si dɔm ɖa la gbɔ.
Iesus answered them, and saide, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 Ne ame aɖe di be yeawɔ Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu la, akpɔe be nye nufiafia tso Mawu gbɔ loo alo enye nye ŋutɔ nye nyawo.
If any man will doe his will, he shall knowe of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe.
18 Ame si le nu ƒom le eɖokui si la, ele kafukafu dim na eɖokui, gake ame si le didim be yeade bubu ame si dɔe ŋuti la, enye nyateƒetɔ, alakpa aɖeke mele eme o.
Hee that speaketh of himselfe, seeketh his owne glorie: but hee that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no vnrighteousnes is in him.
19 Ɖe Mose metsɔ seawo na mi oa? Gake mia dometɔ aɖeke mewɔa Mose ƒe sewo dzi o. Ke nu ka ta miedi be yewoawum ɖo?”
Did not Moses giue you a Law, and yet none of you keepeth the lawe? Why goe ye about to kill me?
20 Ameha la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Wò la, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ le mewò! Ame kae le didim be yeawu wò?”
The people answered, and said, Thou hast a deuil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nukunu ɖeka pɛ ko mewɔ, eye mi katã miaƒe mo wɔ yaa.
Iesus answered, and saide to them, I haue done one worke, and ye all maruaile.
22 Ke Mose fia aʋatsotso mi, eye mietsoa aʋa na mia viwo le Dzudzɔgbe ŋkekea gɔ̃ hã dzi. (Ke menye Mosee to aʋatsotso vɛ o, ke boŋ edzɔ tso fofoawo dzi le blema.)
Moses therefore gaue vnto you circumcision, (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers) and ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.
23 Azɔ la, nenye be woate ŋu atso aʋa na ɖevi le Dzudzɔgbe dzi ale be womada le Mose ƒe se dzi o la, nu ka ta miele dɔmedzoe dom ɖe ŋunye be meda gbe le ameti blibo la ŋu le Dzudzɔgbe dzi?
If a man on the Sabbath receiue circumcision, that the Lawe of Moses should not be broken, be ye angrie with me, because I haue made a man euery whit whole on the Sabbath day?
24 Migadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ɖe dzedzeme nu o, ke boŋ midrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ɖe dzɔdzɔenyenye nu, eye miadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe.”
Iudge not according to the appearance, but iudge righteous iudgement.
25 Yerusalemtɔ aɖewo bia be, “Menye ame si dim wole be yewoawu lae nye esia oa?
Then saide some of them of Hierusalem, Is not this he, whom they goe about to kill?
26 Ame lae nye esi le afii le mawunya gblɔm le dutoƒo, gake ame aɖeke mebia nya aɖekee o. Ɖe dumegãwo xɔe se mlɔeba be eyae nye Kristo la?
And beholde, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him: doe the rulers know in deede that this is in deede that Christ?
27 Míenya afi si ame sia tso. Ne Kristo la va la, ame aɖeke manya afi si wòtso o.”
Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when that Christ commeth, no man shall knowe whence he is.
28 Esi Yesu ganɔ nu fiam le gbedoxɔa me la, edo ɣli be, “Ɛ̃, mienyam, eye mienya afi si metso. Nyemeva afi sia le ɖokuinye si o; ame si dɔm la nye nyateƒetɔ. Miawo la, mienyae o,
Then cried Iesus in the Temple as hee taught, saying, Ye both knowe mee, and knowe whence I am: yet am I not come of my selfe, but he that sent me, is true, whome ye knowe not.
29 gake nye la menyae, elabena nye kplie li hafi wòdɔm.”
But I knowe him: for I am of him, and he hath sent me.
30 Le Yesu ƒe nya siawo ta la, Yudatɔwo ƒe amegãwo di be yewoalée, gake ame aɖeke mete ŋu ka asi eŋu o, elabena Mawu ƒe ɣeyiɣi si wòɖo la mede haɖe o.
Then they sought to take him, but no man layde handes on him, because his houre was not yet come.
31 Ame geɖe siwo nɔ ameha la dome la xɔ edzi se. Wogblɔ be, “Ne Kristo la va la, ɖe wòawɔ nukunuwo wu esiwo ame sia wɔa?”
Now many of the people beleeued in him, and said, When that Christ commeth, will he doe moe miracles then this man hath done?
32 Farisitɔwo se nya siwo gblɔm ameha la le tso eŋu. Ale nunɔlagãwo kple Farisitɔwo dɔ gbedoxɔmesrafowo ɖa be woayi aɖalée.
The Pharises heard that the people murmured these thinges of him, and the Pharises, and high Priestes sent officers to take him.
33 Yesu gblɔ be, “Ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko maganɔ mia gbɔ hafi matrɔ ayi ame si dɔm la gbɔ.
Then saide Iesus vnto them, Yet am I a little while with you, and then goe I vnto him that sent mee.
34 Miadim, gake miakpɔm o, eye miate ŋu ava afi si meyina la o.”
Ye shall seeke me, and shall not finde me, and where I am, can ye not come.
35 Yudatɔwo bia wo nɔewo be, “Afi ka wòle ɖoɖo wɔm be yeadzo ayi, eye míate ŋu akpɔe o? Ɖe wòyina mía nɔvi siwo kaka ɖe Grikitɔwo dome la gbɔ be yeafia nu Grikitɔwoa?
Then saide the Iewes amongs themselues, Whither will he goe, that we shall not finde him? Will he goe vnto them that are dispersed among the Grecians, and teache the Grecians?
36 Nu ka tututu wòwɔnɛ, esi wògblɔ be, ‘Miadim, gake miakpɔm o,’ eye ‘Miate ŋu ava afi si meyi la o.’”
What saying is this that hee saide, Ye shall seeke mee, and shall not finde mee? and where I am, cannot ye come?
37 Le Agbadɔmeŋkekenyui la ƒe ŋkeke mamlɛtɔ kple gãtɔ dzi la, Yesu nɔ tsitre, eye wòdo ɣli sesĩe gblɔ na ameha la be, “Ne tsikɔ le mia dometɔ aɖe wum la, neva gbɔnye wòano tsi.
Nowe in the last and great day of the feast, Iesus stoode and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come vnto me, and drinke.
38 Elabena mawunya gblɔ be, ‘Ame si xɔ dzinye se la, tɔsisi si nye agbetsi la anɔ dzidzim tso eya amea me.’”
Hee that beleeueth in mee, as saith the Scripture, out of his bellie shall flowe riuers of water of life.
39 Yesu nɔ nu ƒom tso Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ŋuti, elabena woana Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ame sia ame si xɔ edzi se. Ke womena Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la haɖe o, elabena womekɔ Yesu ŋuti haɖe o.
(This spake hee of the Spirite which they that beleeued in him, should receiue: for the holy Ghost was not yet giuen, because that Iesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Esi ameha la se nya si wògblɔ la, wo dometɔ aɖewo gblɔ be, “Le nyateƒe me la, ame siae nye Nyagblɔɖila la.”
So many of the people, when they heard this saying, said, Of a trueth this is that Prophet.
41 Ame bubu aɖewo be, “Eyae nye Kristo la.” Ke ame bubu aɖewo bia be, “Ɖe Kristo la ate ŋu atso Galilea mahã?
Other saide, This is that Christ: and some said, But shall that Christ come out of Galile?
42 Ɖe mawunya megblɔ be Kristo la atso David ƒe ƒome me kple Betlehem, du si me David nɔ la me oa?”
Saith not the Scripture that that Christ shall come of the seede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Beth-leem, where Dauid was?
43 Ale mama ɖo ameawo dome ɖe Yesu ta.
So was there dissension among the people for him.
44 Ame aɖewo di vevie be yewoalée, gake wo dometɔ aɖeke meka asi eŋu o.
And some of them would haue taken him, but no man layde handes on him.
45 Mlɔeba la, gbedoxɔŋudzɔlawo trɔ yi nunɔlagãwo kple Farisitɔwo gbɔ, eye wobia wo be, “Nu ka ta mielée vɛ o ɖo?”
Then came the officers to the hie Priests and Pharises, and they said vnto them, Why haue ye not brought him?
46 Gbedoxɔŋudzɔlaawo ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ame aɖeke meƒo nu abe ŋutsu sia ene kpɔ o.”
The officers answered, Neuer man spake like this man.
47 Farisitɔawo gblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe ŋutsu sia ble miawo hã?
Then answered them the Pharises, Are yee also deceiued?
48 Ɖe dumegã aɖe alo Farisitɔ aɖe xɔ ame sia dzi sea?
Doeth any of the rulers, or of the Pharises beleeue in him?
49 Gbeɖe! Ne ameha gã sia, ame siwo menya naneke tso se la ŋu o lae xɔ edzi se la, fiƒode le ame siawo dzi!”
But this people, which know not the Law, are cursed.
50 Nikodemo, ame si nye Farisitɔwo dometɔ ɖeka, ame si yi Yesu gbɔ le zã me la bia etɔwo be,
Nicodemus said vnto them, (he that came to Iesus by night, and was one of them.)
51 “Ɖe míaƒe se la bua fɔ ame aɖe nenye be womedrɔ̃ ʋɔnui, hese eƒe nyawo me gbã oa?”
Doth our Law iudge a man before it heare him, and knowe what he hath done?
52 Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Wò hã Galileatɔe nènyea? Wò ŋutɔ dzro mawunya la me, eye nàkpɔ be Nyagblɔɖila aɖeke matso Galilea o!” [
They answered, and said vnto him, Art thou also of Galile? Searche and looke: for out of Galile ariseth no Prophet.
53 Ale takpekpea kaka, eye ame sia ame dzo yi eƒe aƒe me.
And euery man wet vnto his owne house.
