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.
And after these things was walking Jesus in Galilee; not for He was desiring in Judea to walk, because were seeking Him the Jews to kill.
2 Gake esi Yudatɔwo ƒe Agbadɔmeŋkekenyui la tu aƒe la,
Was now near the feast of the Jews of Booths.
3 Yesu nɔviŋutsuwo gblɔ nɛ be, “Ele be nàdzo le afi sia ayi Yudea, be wò nusrɔ̃lawo nakpɔ nukunu siwo nèwɔna la.
Said therefore to Him the brothers of Him; do depart from here and do go into Judea so that also the disciples of You (will see *N(k)O*) of You the works that You are doing;
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.”
No [one] for anything in secret does and seeks himself in public to be; If these things You do, do show Yourself to the world.
5 Nɔviawo gblɔ esia, elabena womexɔ edzi se o.
Not even for the brothers of Him were believing 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.
Says therefore to them Jesus; The time for Me not yet is come, but the time of you always is ready.
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.
Not is able the world to hate you, Me myself however it hates, because I myself bear witness concerning it that the works of it evil are.
8 Mido ŋgɔ mianɔ yiyim faa. Ne ɣeyiɣi nyuitɔ ɖo nam ko la, nye hã madze mia yome.”
You yourselves do go up to feast (this; *k*) I myself (not *N(k)O*) am going up to feast this, for My time (*k*) not yet has been fulfilled.
9 Ale Yesu tsi Galilea le ŋkeke mawo me.
These things now having said (He himself *N(K)O*) He remained in Galilee.
10 Esi Yesu nɔviŋutsuwo dzo vɔ megbe la, eya hã yi Ŋkekenyui la ɖuƒe. Ke eyi le bebeme.
When however had gone up the brothers of Him to the feast, then also He himself went up not openly but as in secret.
11 Yudatɔwo ƒe amegãwo dii vevie le azã la ɖuƒe, eye wonɔ eta biam be, “Afi ka ŋutsu ma le?”
The therefore Jews were seeking Him at the feast and were saying; Where is He?
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 murmuring about Him there was much among the crowds. Some indeed were saying that Good He is, Others however were saying; No, but He deceives 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.
No [one] however publicly was speaking about Him because of the fear of the Jews.
14 Esi ŋkekenyui la ƒe afã nu yi la, Yesu yi ɖe gbedoxɔ la me, eye wòde asi nufiafia amewo me.
Now also of the feast being in the middle went up (*k*) Jesus into the temple and was teaching.
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 *k*) Were marveling (then *NO*) the Jews saying; How this one writings knows not having studied?
16 Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Nye la, nyemele nu siwo menya la fiam o, ke boŋ etso Mawu si dɔm ɖa la gbɔ.
Answered (therefore *NO*) them Jesus and said: My teaching not is of Myself but of the [One who] having 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 anyone shall desire the will of Him to do, he will know concerning the teaching whether from God it is or I myself from Myself speak.
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.
The [one] from himself speaking the glory [their] own seeks; the [One] however seeking the glory of the [One who] having sent Him, He true is, and unrighteousness in Him not is.
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?”
Not Moses (has given *NK(o)*) to you the law? and no [one] of you keeps the law! Why Me do you seek to kill?
20 Ameha la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Wò la, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ le mewò! Ame kae le didim be yeawu wò?”
Answered the crowd (and said: *k*) A demon You have; who You seeks to kill?
21 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nukunu ɖeka pɛ ko mewɔ, eye mi katã miaƒe mo wɔ yaa.
Answered (*k*) Jesus and said to them; One work I did, and all you marvel.
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.)
Because of this: Moses has given you circumcision — not that of Moses it is but of the fathers — also on Sabbath you 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 circumcision receives (*o*) a man on Sabbath so that not shall be broken the law of Moses, with Me myself are you angry because entirely a man sound I made on [the] Sabbath?
24 Migadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ɖe dzedzeme nu o, ke boŋ midrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ɖe dzɔdzɔenyenye nu, eye miadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe.”
Not do judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment (do judge. *N(k)O*)
25 Yerusalemtɔ aɖewo bia be, “Menye ame si dim wole be yewoawu lae nye esia oa?
Were saying therefore some of those of Jerusalem; Not this is he whom they seek 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 behold publicly He speaks, and no [thing] to Him they say. otherwise otherwise Truly have recognized the rulers that this is (truly *K*) the Christ?
27 Míenya afi si ame sia tso. Ne Kristo la va la, ame aɖeke manya afi si wòtso o.”
But this [man] we know from where He is; The however Christ whenever He may come, no [one] knows from where 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,
Cried out therefore in the temple teaching Jesus and saying; Me Me you know and you know from where I am; and of Myself not I have come, but is true the [One] having sent Me whom you yourselves not know;
29 gake nye la menyae, elabena nye kplie li hafi wòdɔm.”
I myself (now *k*) know Him, because from Him I am, and He and He Me sent.
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.
They were seeking therefore Him to take, but no [one] laid upon Him the hand, because not yet had come the hour of Him.
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?”
Out of the crowd now many believed in Him and were saying (that: *k*) The Christ When He may come, (Surely not *N(k)O*) more signs (than these things *k*) will He do than this [man] has done?
32 Farisitɔwo se nya siwo gblɔm ameha la le tso eŋu. Ale nunɔlagãwo kple Farisitɔwo dɔ gbedoxɔmesrafowo ɖa be woayi aɖalée.
Heard the Pharisees the crowd murmuring about Him these things, and sent the chief priests and the Pharisees officers that they may seize Him.
33 Yesu gblɔ be, “Ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko maganɔ mia gbɔ hafi matrɔ ayi ame si dɔm la gbɔ.
Said therefore (to them *k*) Jesus; Yet time a little with you I am and I go to the [One] having sent Me.
34 Miadim, gake miakpɔm o, eye miate ŋu ava afi si meyina la o.”
You will seek Me and not will find Me, and where am I myself you yourselves not are able to 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?
Said therefore the Jews among themselves; Where He is about to go that we ourselves not will find Him? Surely to the Dispersion among the Greeks is He about to go and to teach the Greeks?
36 Nu ka tututu wòwɔnɛ, esi wògblɔ be, ‘Miadim, gake miakpɔm o,’ eye ‘Miate ŋu ava afi si meyi la o.’”
What is word this that He said; You will seek Me and not will find (Me, *NK*) and Where am I myself you yourselves not are able to 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.
In now the last day the great [day] of the feast had stood Jesus and cried out saying; If anyone shall thirst, he should come to Me and should drink.
38 Elabena mawunya gblɔ be, ‘Ame si xɔ dzinye se la, tɔsisi si nye agbetsi la anɔ dzidzim tso eya amea me.’”
The [one] believing in Me myself, even as has said the Scripture: Rivers out of the belly of him will flow of water living.
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 now He said concerning the Spirit (which *N(k)O*) were about to receive those (having believed *N(k)O*) in Him; not yet for was [the] Spirit (Holy *KO*) (given *O*) because (*k*) Jesus (not yet *N(k)O*) was glorified.
40 Esi ameha la se nya si wògblɔ la, wo dometɔ aɖewo gblɔ be, “Le nyateƒe me la, ame siae nye Nyagblɔɖila la.”
(many *K*) from the crowd therefore having heard (the *N(k)O*) (words *N(K)O*) these were saying (that: *o*) This is truly the Prophet.
41 Ame bubu aɖewo be, “Eyae nye Kristo la.” Ke ame bubu aɖewo bia be, “Ɖe Kristo la ate ŋu atso Galilea mahã?
Others were saying; This is the Christ; (Those *N(k)O*) however were saying; Surely not for out of Galilee the Christ comes?
42 Ɖe mawunya megblɔ be Kristo la atso David ƒe ƒome me kple Betlehem, du si me David nɔ la me oa?”
(Surely *N(k)O*) the Scripture has said that out of the seed of David and from Bethlehem the village where was David comes the Christ
43 Ale mama ɖo ameawo dome ɖe Yesu ta.
A division therefore occurred in the crowd because of Him.
44 Ame aɖewo di vevie be yewoalée, gake wo dometɔ aɖeke meka asi eŋu o.
Some now were desiring of them to seize Him, but no [one] (laid *NK(o)*) on Him the hands.
45 Mlɔeba la, gbedoxɔŋudzɔlawo trɔ yi nunɔlagãwo kple Farisitɔwo gbɔ, eye wobia wo be, “Nu ka ta mielée vɛ o ɖo?”
Came therefore the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees, and said to them that; Because of why not did you bring Him?
46 Gbedoxɔŋudzɔlaawo ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ame aɖeke meƒo nu abe ŋutsu sia ene kpɔ o.”
Answered the officers; Never spoke like this a man (as *ko*) (this *KO*) (*ko*) (man. *KO*)
47 Farisitɔawo gblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe ŋutsu sia ble miawo hã?
Answered therefore them the Pharisees; Surely not also you yourselves have been deceived?
48 Ɖe dumegã aɖe alo Farisitɔ aɖe xɔ ame sia dzi sea?
Surely not any of the rulers has believed on Him or of the Pharisees?
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 crowd this not knowing the law (cursed *N(k)O*) are.
50 Nikodemo, ame si nye Farisitɔwo dometɔ ɖeka, ame si yi Yesu gbɔ le zã me la bia etɔwo be,
Says Nicodemus to them, the [one] having come (at night *K*) to Him (the *N*) (former *NO*) one being of them;
51 “Ɖe míaƒe se la bua fɔ ame aɖe nenye be womedrɔ̃ ʋɔnui, hese eƒe nyawo me gbã oa?”
Surely not the law of us does judge the man only unless it shall hear (first *N(k)O*) from him and may know what he does?
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 they said to him; Surely not also you yourself from Galilee are? do search and do see that out of Galilee a prophet not (is raised. *N(k)O*)
53 Ale takpekpea kaka, eye ame sia ame dzo yi eƒe aƒe me.
(And *KO*) (he went *K(o)*) (each to the home of him, *KO*)
