Johana 7
1 Thuutha ũcio, Jesũ nĩaceerangire Galili, nĩ ũndũ ndendaga gũthiĩ Judea tondũ Ayahudi akuo nĩmamũcaragia mamũũrage.
And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for He did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him,
2 No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ kĩa Ayahudi gĩakuhĩrĩirie-rĩ,
and the celebration of the Jews was near—that of Shelters—
3 ariũ a nyina na Jesũ makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩwagĩrĩirwo uume gũkũ ũthiĩ Judea, nĩguo arutwo aku mone ciama iria ũringaga.
His brothers, therefore, said to Him, “Depart from here, and go away to Judea, that Your disciples may also behold Your works that You do;
4 Gũtirĩ mũndũ wendaga kũmenyeka nĩ andũ ũhithaga ũrĩa areeka. Na tondũ nĩũreeka maũndũ maya-rĩ, wĩonanie kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ.”
for no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be in public; if you do these things—reveal Yourself to the world”;
5 Nĩgũkorwo o na ariũ a nyina matiamwĩtĩkĩtie.
for not even His brothers were believing in Him.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ihinda rĩakwa rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire rĩtirĩ rĩrakinya; no harĩ inyuĩ ihinda o rĩothe nĩrĩagĩrĩire.
Jesus, therefore, says to them, “My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
7 Andũ a gũkũ thĩ matingĩmũthũũra, no niĩ nĩmathũire tondũ nĩnyumbũraga atĩ ũrĩa mekaga nĩ ũũru.
the world is not able to hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.
8 Inyuĩ thiĩi Gĩathĩ-inĩ. Niĩ ndikwamba kwambata Gĩathĩ-inĩ kĩu, nĩgũkorwo ihinda rĩakwa rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩru rĩtirĩ rĩrakinya.”
You—go up to this celebration; I do not yet go up to this celebration, because My time has not yet been fulfilled”;
9 Na aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, agĩikara kũu Galili.
and saying these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
10 No rĩrĩ, thuutha wa ariũ a nyina gũthiĩ Gĩathĩ-inĩ kĩu, o nake agĩcooka agĩthiĩ, no ndaathiire akĩmenyekaga, no aathiire na hitho.
And when His brothers went up, then also He Himself went up to the celebration, not openly, but as in secret;
11 Na rĩrĩ, kũu Gĩathĩ-inĩ-rĩ, Ayahudi nĩmamũcaragia, makĩũranagia atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio arĩ ha?”
the Jews, therefore, were seeking Him in the celebration, and said, “Where is that One?”
12 Kũu mũingĩ-inĩ guothe andũ nĩmaragia na mĩheehũ ũhoro wake. Amwe makoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio nĩ mũndũ mwega.” Nao arĩa angĩ makoiga atĩrĩ, “Aca, mũndũ ũcio nĩaheenagia andũ.”
And there was much murmuring about Him among the multitudes, some indeed said, “He is good”; and others said, “No, but He leads the multitude astray”;
13 No gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩaririe ũhoro wake akĩiguagwo nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra Ayahudi.
no one, however, was speaking freely about Him, through fear of the Jews.
14 Gĩathĩ gĩakinya gatagatĩ-rĩ, Jesũ akĩambata agĩthiĩ nja-inĩ cia hekarũ, akĩambĩrĩria kũrutana.
And it being now the middle of the celebration, Jesus went up to the temple, and He was teaching,
15 Nao Ayahudi makĩgega, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ aamenyeire maũndũ maya kũ, na ndathomete?”
and the Jews were wondering, saying, “How has this One known letters—having not learned?”
16 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũrutani ũrĩa ndutanaga ti wakwa niĩ mwene. Uumaga kũrĩ ũrĩa wandũmire.
Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me;
17 Mũndũ o wothe angĩenda gwĩka wendi wa Ngai, ũcio nĩarĩĩmenyaga kana ũrutani wakwa uumaga kũrĩ Ngai, kana njaragia ũhoro wakwa mwene.
if anyone may will to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or—[if] I speak from Myself.
18 Mũndũ ũrĩa waragia ũhoro wake we mwene eekaga ũguo nĩgeetha egoocithie we mwene, no ũrĩa ũrutaga wĩra nĩgeetha agoocithie ũrĩa ũmũtũmĩte nĩ mũndũ wa ma; gũtirĩ ũndũ wa maheeni ũmũkoniĩ.
He who is speaking from himself seeks his own glory, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;
19 Githĩ Musa ndaamũheire watho? No gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu ũmenyagĩrĩra watho. Mũrageria kũnjũraga nĩkĩ?”
has not Moses given you the Law? And none of you does the Law; why do you seek to kill Me?”
20 Naguo mũingĩ wa andũ ũkĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Wee ũrĩ na ndaimono. Nũũ ũrageria gũkũũraga?”
The multitude answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?”
21 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ndaaringire kĩama kĩmwe, na inyuĩ inyuothe mũkĩgega.
Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all wonder,
22 No rĩrĩ, tondũ Musa nĩamũheire ũhoro wa kũrua (o na gũtuĩka ũhoro ũcio ndwoimire kũrĩ Musa, no woimĩte kũrĩ maithe manyu ma tene-rĩ), inyuĩ nĩ mũruithagia mwana mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
because of this, Moses has given you the circumcision—not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers—and on a Sabbath you circumcise a man;
23 Rĩu angĩkorwo mwana no aruithio mũthenya wa Thabatũ nĩgeetha watho wa Musa ndũgathaahio-rĩ, mũrakĩndakarĩra nĩkĩ nĩkũhonia mũndũ mũthenya wa Thabatũ?
if a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with Me that I made a man all whole on a Sabbath?
24 Tigai gũtuanagĩra ciira na ũrĩa mũndũ atariĩ, tuanagĩrai ciira na kĩhooto.”
Do not judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.”
25 Tondũ ũcio andũ amwe a kũu Jerusalemu makĩambĩrĩria kũũrania atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũyũ tiwe mũndũ ũrĩa marageria kũũraga?
Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
26 Na rĩu araaria atekwĩhitha, na matirĩ ũndũ maramwĩra. Kaĩ anene mamenyete kũna atĩ ũyũ nĩwe Kristũ?
And behold, He speaks freely, and they say nothing to Him; did the rulers truly know that this is the Christ?
27 No ithuĩ nĩtũũĩ kũrĩa mũndũ ũyũ oimĩte; rĩrĩa Kristũ agooka, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaamenya kũrĩa agaakorwo oimĩte.”
But this One—we have known where He is from; and the Christ, when He comes, no one knows where He is from.”
28 Tondũ ũcio Jesũ, o akĩrutanaga kũu hekarũ-inĩ, akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ; “Ĩĩ nĩguo, nĩmũnjũũĩ, na mũkamenya kũrĩa nyumĩte. Ndiũkĩte gũkũ nĩ ũndũ wakwa niĩ mwene, no ũrĩa wandũmire nĩ wa ma. Inyuĩ mũtimũũĩ,
Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, “You have both known Me, and you have known from where I am; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you have not known;
29 no niĩ nĩndĩmũũĩ, tondũ nyumĩte kũrĩ we, na nĩwe wandũmire.”
and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
30 Maigua ũguo makĩgeria kũmũnyiita, no gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wamũhutirie, tondũ ihinda rĩake rĩtiarĩ ikinyu.
They were seeking, therefore, to seize Him, and no one laid the hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come,
31 O na kũrĩ o ũguo, andũ aingĩ makĩmwĩtĩkia. Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Kristũ agooka-rĩ, nĩakaringa ciama nyingĩ gũkĩra mũndũ ũyũ?”
and many out of the multitude believed in Him and said, “The Christ—when He may come—will He do more signs than these that this One did?”
32 Afarisai makĩigua andũ makĩheehana maũndũ ta macio mamũkoniĩ. Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na Afarisai magĩtũma thigari cia hekarũ ikamũnyiite.
The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take Him;
33 Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ngũkorwo na inyuĩ o ihinda inini, njooke thiĩ kũrĩ ũrĩa wandũmire.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Yet a short time I am with you, and I go away to Him who sent Me;
34 Inyuĩ mũkaanjaria, no mũtikanyona; na kũrĩa ngaakorwo, mũtikahota gũkinya.”
you will seek Me, and you will not find; and where I am, you are not able to come.”
35 Ayahudi makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ nĩ kũ arenda gũthiĩ, kũu tũtangĩhota kũmuona? Hihi egũthiĩ kũrĩa andũ aitũ matũũraga mahurunjũkĩte gatagatĩ ka Ayunani, akarute Ayunani ũhoro?
The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, “To where is this One about to go that we will not find Him? Is He about to go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks?
36 Nĩ atĩa ekwendaga kuuga, rĩrĩa oigire atĩ, ‘Mũkaanjaria no mũtikanyona’ na ‘kũrĩa ngaakorwo mũtikahota gũkinya’?”
What is this word that He said, You will seek Me, and you will not find? And, Where I am, you are not able to come?”
37 Mũthenya wa mũthia, na ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa Gĩathĩ kĩu-rĩ, Jesũ akĩrũgama, akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũnyootiĩ-rĩ, nĩoke harĩ niĩ anyue.
And in the last, the great day of the celebration, Jesus stood and cried, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink;
38 Ũrĩa wothe ũnjĩtĩkĩtie, thĩinĩ wake nĩkũriumaga njũũĩ cia maaĩ marĩ muoyo, o ta ũrĩa Maandĩko moigĩte.”
he who is believing in Me, according as the Writing said, Rivers of living water will flow out of his belly”;
39 Akĩaria ũguo aaragia ũhoro wa Roho, ũrĩa arĩa maamwĩtĩkĩtie makaheo thuutha-inĩ. Amu hĩndĩ ĩyo Roho ndaaheanĩtwo, nĩgũkorwo Jesũ ndaagoocithĩtio.
and this He said of the Spirit, which those believing in Him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ maiguire ciugo ciake, amwe makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ mũndũ ũyũ nĩ we Mũnabii ũrĩa.”
Many, therefore, out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, “This is truly the Prophet”;
41 Arĩa angĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Kristũ.” Nao angĩ makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kwahoteka atĩa Kristũ oime Galili?
others said, “This is the Christ”; and others said, “Why, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Githĩ Maandĩko matiugĩte atĩ Kristũ akoima rũciaro-inĩ rwa Daudi, na oime Bethilehemu itũũra rĩrĩa Daudi aatũũraga?”
Did the Writing not say that out of the seed of David, and from Beth-Lehem—the village where David was—the Christ comes?”
43 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũkĩgĩa na nyamũkano gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ.
A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of Him.
44 Amwe nĩmendaga kũmũnyiita, no gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wamũhutirie.
And certain of them were willing to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him;
45 Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ arangĩri a hekarũ magĩcooka kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na Afarisai, nao makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mwaga kũmũrehe nĩkĩ?”
the officers came, therefore, to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?”
46 Arangĩri acio magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũrĩ waria ta ũrĩa mũndũ ũcio aragia.”
The officers answered, “Never so spoke man—as this Man.”
47 Nao Afarisai makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũroiga atĩ o na inyuĩ nĩamũheenetie?
The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, “Have you also been led astray?
48 Nĩ kũrĩ mũnene o na ũmwe kana Mũfarisai ũmwĩtĩkĩtie?
Did anyone out of the rulers believe in Him? Or out of the Pharisees?
49 Aca! No gĩkundi gĩkĩ kĩa andũ matooĩ watho-rĩ, nĩkĩnyiite nĩ kĩrumi.”
But this multitude, that is not knowing the Law, is accursed.”
50 Nikodemo, ũrĩa wathiĩte kũrĩ Jesũ mbere ĩyo na aarĩ ũmwe wa gĩkundi kĩao, akĩũria atĩrĩ,
Nicodemus says to them—he who came by night to Him—being one of them,
51 “Watho witũ nĩũtuagĩra mũndũ ciira ataambĩte gũthikĩrĩrio nĩguo akamenyeka ũrĩa ekĩte?”
“Does our law judge the Man, if it may not hear from Him first, and know what He does?”
52 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “O nawe kaĩ uumĩte Galili? Tuĩria ũhoro, na nĩũkũmenya atĩ mũnabii ndangiuma Galili.”
They answered and said to him, “Are you also out of Galilee? Search and see that a prophet has not risen out of Galilee”; [[
53 (O mũndũ akĩinũka gwake mũciĩ.
and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the Mount of Olives.
