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 that Iesus wet about in Galile and wolde not go about in Iewry for the Iewes sought to kill him.
2 Gake esi Yudatɔwo ƒe Agbadɔmeŋkekenyui la tu aƒe la,
The Iewes tabernacle feast was at honde.
3 Yesu nɔviŋutsuwo gblɔ nɛ be, “Ele be nàdzo le afi sia ayi Yudea, be wò nusrɔ̃lawo nakpɔ nukunu siwo nèwɔna la.
His brethren therfore sayde vnto him: get ye hence and go into Iewry yt thy disciples maye se thy workes yt 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 ther is no man yt doeth eny thing secretly and he him selfe seketh to be knowen. Yf thou do soche thinges shewe thy selfe to the worlde.
5 Nɔviawo gblɔ esia, elabena womexɔ edzi se o.
For as yet his brethre beleved 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 sayd vnto them: My tyme is not yet come youre tyme is all waye redy.
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 worlde canot hate you. Me it hateth: because I testify of it that the workes of it are evyll.
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 will not go vp yet vnto this feast for my tyme is not yet full come.
9 Ale Yesu tsi Galilea le ŋkeke mawo me.
These wordes 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 assone as his brethren were goone vp then went he also vp vnto the feast: not openly but as it were prevely.
11 Yudatɔwo ƒe amegãwo dii vevie le azã la ɖuƒe, eye wonɔ eta biam be, “Afi ka ŋutsu ma le?”
Then sought him the Iewes at ye feast and sayde: 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 moche murmurynge was ther of him amonge the people. Some sayde: He is good. Wother sayde naye but he deceaveth 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.
How be it no ma 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.
In ye middes of the feast 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 marveylled sayinge: How knoweth he ye scriptures seynge yt he never 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 sayde: My doctrine is not myne: 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 eny man will do 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.
He that speaketh of him selfe seketh his awne prayse. But he that seketh his prayse that sent him the same is true and no vnrightewesnes 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?”
Dyd not Moses geve you a lawe and yet none of you kepeth ye lawe? Why goo ye aboute to kyll 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 sayde: thou hast the devyll: who goeth aboute to kyll the?
21 Yesu gblɔ na wo be, “Nukunu ɖeka pɛ ko mewɔ, eye mi katã miaƒe mo wɔ yaa.
Iesus answered and sayde to them: I have done one worke and ye all marvayle.
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 therfore gave vnto you circumcision: not because it is of Moses but of the fathers. And yet ye on the Saboth daye 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 Saboth daye receave circumcision without breakinge of the lawe of Moses: disdayne ye at me because I have made a man every whit whoale on the saboth daye?
24 Migadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ɖe dzedzeme nu o, ke boŋ midrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ɖe dzɔdzɔenyenye nu, eye miadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe.”
Iudge not after the vtter aperaunce: but iudge rightewes iudgement.
25 Yerusalemtɔ aɖewo bia be, “Menye ame si dim wole be yewoawu lae nye esia oa?
Then sayd some of them of Ierusalem: Is not this he who they goo aboute to kyll?
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?
Beholde he speaketh boldly and they saye nothinge to him. Do the rulars knowe in dede that this is very Christ?
27 Míenya afi si ame sia tso. Ne Kristo la va la, ame aɖeke manya afi si wòtso o.”
How be it we knowe this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh 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 cryed Iesus in ye temple as he taught sayinge: ye knowe me and whence I am ye knowe. And yet I am not come of my selfe but he yt sent me is true whom ye knowe not.
29 gake nye la menyae, elabena nye kplie li hafi wòdɔm.”
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 ma layde hondes on him because his tyme 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?”
Many of the people beleved on him and sayde: when Christ cometh will he do moo 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 hearde that the people murmured suche thinges about him. Wherfore ye pharises and hye prestes sent ministres forthe to take him.
33 Yesu gblɔ be, “Ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko maganɔ mia gbɔ hafi matrɔ ayi ame si dɔm la gbɔ.
Then sayde Iesus vnto the: Yet am I a lytell whyle with you and then goo I vnto him that sent me.
34 Miadim, gake miakpɔm o, eye miate ŋu ava afi si meyina la o.”
Ye shall seke me and shall not fynde me: and where I am thyther 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 sayde the Iewes bitwene the selves: whyther will he goo that we shall not fynde him? Will he goo amonge the gentyls which are scattered all a broade and teache the gentyls?
36 Nu ka tututu wòwɔnɛ, esi wògblɔ be, ‘Miadim, gake miakpɔm o,’ eye ‘Miate ŋu ava afi si meyi la o.’”
What maner of sayinge is this that he sayde: ye shall seke me and shall not fynde me: and where I am thyther can ye not 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 the last daye that great daye of the feaste Iesus stode and cryed sayinge: If eny man thyrst 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.’”
He that beleveth on me as sayeth the scripture out of his belly shall flowe ryvers of water of lyfe.
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 spak he of the sprete which they that beleved on him shuld receave. For the holy goost was not yet there because that Iesus was not yet glorifyed.
40 Esi ameha la se nya si wògblɔ la, wo dometɔ aɖewo gblɔ be, “Le nyateƒe me la, ame siae nye Nyagblɔɖila la.”
Many of the people when they hearde this sayinge sayd: of a truth this is a 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 sayde: this is Christ. Some sayde: shall 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?”
Sayeth not the scripture that Christ shall come of the seed of David: and out of the toune of Bethleem where David was?
43 Ale mama ɖo ameawo dome ɖe Yesu ta.
So was ther dissencion amonge the people aboute him.
44 Ame aɖewo di vevie be yewoalée, gake wo dometɔ aɖeke meka asi eŋu o.
And some of them wolde have taken him: but no man layed hondes 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 ye ministres to ye hye prestes and pharises. And they sayde vnto the: why have ye not brought him?
46 Gbedoxɔŋudzɔlaawo ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Ame aɖeke meƒo nu abe ŋutsu sia ene kpɔ o.”
The servautes answered never man spake as this man doeth.
47 Farisitɔawo gblɔ na wo be, “Ɖe ŋutsu sia ble miawo hã?
Then answered the the pharises: are ye also disceaved?
48 Ɖe dumegã aɖe alo Farisitɔ aɖe xɔ ame sia dzi sea?
Doth eny of the rulers or of the pharises beleve on 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 the comen people whiche knowe not ye lawe are cursed.
50 Nikodemo, ame si nye Farisitɔwo dometɔ ɖeka, ame si yi Yesu gbɔ le zã me la bia etɔwo be,
Nicodemus sayde vnto them: He that came to Iesus by nyght 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 oure lawe iudge eny 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 sayde vnto him: arte thou also of Galile? Searche and loke for out of Galile aryseth no Prophet.
53 Ale takpekpea kaka, eye ame sia ame dzo yi eƒe aƒe me.
And every man went vnto his awne housse.
