Johana 8
1 No rĩrĩ, Jesũ agĩthiĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ.
Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 Na rũciinĩ tene akĩroka o rĩngĩ kũu nja cia hekarũ, kũrĩa andũ othe maamũrigiicĩirie. Nake agĩikara thĩ kũmaruta.
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 Arutani a watho hamwe na Afarisai makĩrehe mũtumia wanyiitĩtwo agĩtharia. Makĩmũrũgamia hau mbere ya gĩkundi,
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 na makĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, mũtumia ũyũ aanyiitwo agĩtharia.
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Thĩinĩ wa watho-rĩ, Musa aatwathire tũhũũrage atumia ta aya na mahiga nyuguto. Rĩu we ũkuuga atĩa?”
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say you?
6 Maahũthagĩra kĩũria gĩkĩ kĩrĩ ta mũtego, nĩgeetha magĩe na ũndũ wa kũmũthitangĩra. No Jesũ akĩinamĩrĩra, na akĩambĩrĩria kwandĩka thĩ na kĩara gĩake.
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 Na rĩrĩa maathiire na mbere kũmũũria ũhoro ũcio, akĩinamũka, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo harĩ na ũmwe wanyu ũtarĩ ehia-rĩ, nĩatuĩke wa mbere kũmũikĩria ihiga.”
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 Agĩcooka akĩinamĩrĩra rĩngĩ, akĩandĩka thĩ na kĩara.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 Rĩrĩa maiguire ũguo, makĩambĩrĩria kwehera hau ũmwe kwa ũmwe, maambĩrĩirie na arĩa akũrũ, nginya hagĩtigara o Jesũ na mũtumia ũcio arũngiĩ o hau.
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 Jesũ akĩinamũka, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ, agũthitangi marĩ ha? Hatirĩ o na ũmwe wao wagũtuĩra?”
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you?
11 Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe.” Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ ndigũgũtuĩra. Thiĩ, na ndũkanacooke kwĩhia.”)
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.
12 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aarĩirie andũ rĩngĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ ũtheri wa thĩ. Ũrĩa wothe ũnũmagĩrĩra ndarĩ hĩndĩ arĩthiiaga na nduma, no arĩgĩaga na ũtheri wa muoyo.”
Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 Nao Afarisai makĩmũkararia, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “We ũraheana ũira waku wee mwene; ũira waku ti wa ma.”
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, You bear record of yourself; your record is not true.
14 Nake Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “O na ingĩruta ũira wakwa niĩ mwene-rĩ, ũira wakwa nĩ wa ma, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũũĩ kũrĩa ndoimire o na kũrĩa ndĩrathiĩ. No inyuĩ mũtiũĩ kũrĩa nyumĩte kana kũrĩa ndĩrathiĩ.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and where I go; but all of you cannot tell whence I come, and where I go.
15 Inyuĩ mũtuanagĩra ciira na ũmũndũ; niĩ ndirĩ mũndũ nduagĩra ciira.
All of you judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 No o na ingĩtuanĩra ciira-rĩ, itua rĩakwa nĩrĩagĩrĩire, nĩgũkorwo ndituanagĩra ndĩ nyiki. No niĩ ndĩ na Baba, ũrĩa wandũmire.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 Thĩinĩ wa watho wanyu nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩ ũira wa andũ eerĩ nĩ wa ma.
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Niĩ ndĩraruta ũira wakwa mwene; nake mũira wakwa ũcio ũngĩ nĩ Baba ũrĩa wandũmire.”
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bears witness of me.
19 Ningĩ makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Thoguo arĩ kũ?” Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũtinjũũĩ, o na Baba mũtimũũĩ. Korwo nĩmũnjũũĩ, o na Baba nĩmũngĩmũũĩ.”
Then said they unto him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, All of you neither know me, nor my Father: if all of you had known me, all of you should have known my Father also.
20 Nake aaragia ciugo icio akĩrutana hekarũ-inĩ hakuhĩ na harĩa mũhothi warutagĩrwo. No gũtirĩ mũndũ wamũnyiitire nĩ tondũ ihinda rĩake rĩtiarĩ ikinyu.
These words (rhema) spoke Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21 O rĩngĩ Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩngwĩthiĩra, na inyuĩ nĩmũkanjaria no mũgaakua mũrĩ o mehia-inĩ manyu. Kũrĩa ngũthiĩ inyuĩ mũtingĩhota gũũka.”
Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and all of you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I go, all of you cannot come.
22 Ũhoro ũcio ũgĩtũma Ayahudi morie atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ekwĩyũraga? Hihi nĩkĩo aroiga atĩ, ‘Kũrĩa ngũthiĩ mũtingĩhota gũũka’?”
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he says, Where I go, all of you cannot come.
23 Nowe akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũrĩ a gũkũ thĩ, niĩ nyumĩte Igũrũ.
And he said unto them, All of you are from beneath; I am from above: all of you are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Inyuĩ mũrĩ a thĩ-ĩno; no niĩ ndirĩ wa thĩ-ĩno. Ndamwĩrire atĩ mũgaakua mũrĩ o mehia-inĩ manyu; mũngĩrega gwĩtĩkia ũrĩa njugaga atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ we, ti-itherũ mũgaakua mũrĩ o mehia-inĩ manyu.”
I said therefore unto you, that all of you shall die in your sins: for if all of you believe not that I am he, all of you shall die in your sins.
25 Nao makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe ũ.” Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ o ũrĩa ndũũrĩte ndĩmwĩraga kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria.
Then said they unto him, Who are you? And Jesus says unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 Ndĩ na maũndũ maingĩ ingiuga ma kũmũciirithia namo. No ũrĩa wandũmire nĩ mwĩhokeku, naguo ũrĩa njiguĩte kuuma kũrĩ we nĩguo njĩĩraga kĩrĩndĩ.”
I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27 Nao matiigana kũmenya atĩ aameeraga ũhoro wa Ithe.
They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.
28 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩkia kwambararia Mũrũ wa Mũndũ-rĩ, nĩguo mũkamenya ũrĩa njugaga atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ we, na atĩ gũtirĩ ũndũ njĩkaga ndĩĩrĩte, no njaragia o ũrĩa Baba andutĩte.
Then said Jesus unto them, When all of you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall all of you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.
29 Nake ũrĩa wandũmire arĩ hamwe na niĩ; ndandigĩte ndĩ nyiki, nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ciothe njĩkaga maũndũ o marĩa mamũkenagia.”
And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 O akĩaragia-rĩ, andũ aingĩ makĩmwĩtĩkia.
As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
31 Nake Jesũ akĩĩra Ayahudi arĩa maamwĩtĩkĩtie atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩrũmia ũrutani wakwa-rĩ, mũrĩ arutwo akwa kũna.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If all of you continue in my word, (logos) then are all of you my disciples indeed;
32 Nĩ mũkaamenya ũhoro wa ma, naguo ũhoro ũcio wa ma nĩ ũkaamũkũũra.”
And all of you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 Nao makĩmũcookeria makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũrĩ a rũciaro rwa Iburahĩmu, na tũtirĩ twatuĩka ngombo cia mũndũ o na ũ. Ũngĩkiuga atĩa atĩ nĩtũgakũũrwo?”
They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you, All of you shall be made free?
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ o ma, mũndũ o wothe wĩhagia nĩ ngombo ya mehia.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin.
35 No rĩrĩ, ngombo ti ya gũtũũra mũciĩ nginya tene no mũriũ wa mwene mũciĩ nĩ wa gũtũũra mũciĩ nginya tene. (aiōn g165)
And the servant abides not in the house for ever: but the Son abides ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũrũ wa Ngai angĩkamũkũũra-rĩ, nĩmũgakũũrwo kũna.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, all of you shall be free indeed.
37 Nĩnjũũĩ mũrĩ a rũciaro rwa Iburahĩmu, no nĩmwĩharĩirie kũnjũraga, tondũ ũhoro wakwa ndũrĩ na ũikaro thĩinĩ wanyu.
I know that all of you are Abraham's seed; but all of you seek to kill me, because my word (logos) has no place in you.
38 Niĩ ndĩramwĩra maũndũ marĩa nyonete harĩ Baba, na inyuĩ mwĩkaga maũndũ marĩa mũiguĩte kuuma kũrĩ ithe wanyu.”
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and all of you do that which all of you have seen with your father.
39 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Iburahĩmu nĩwe ithe witũ.” Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩrĩ ciana cia Iburahĩmu-rĩ, nĩ mũngĩĩkaga maũndũ marĩa Iburahĩmu eekaga.
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says unto them, If all of you were Abraham's children, all of you would do the works of Abraham.
40 Ũrĩa kũrĩ nĩ atĩ, inyuĩ nĩmũtuĩte itua rĩa kũnjũraga, o niĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũmũheete ũhoro ũrĩa wa ma, o ũrĩa ndaiguire kuuma kũrĩ Ngai. Ũguo tiguo Iburahĩmu eekaga.
But now all of you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Inyuĩ mũreka maũndũ marĩa ithe wanyu ekaga.” Nao makĩmũkararia makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtirĩ ciana ciumanĩte na ũtharia. Ithuĩ tũrĩ na Baba ũmwe tu, na nĩwe Ngai.”
All of you do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngai angĩrĩ Ithe wanyu-rĩ, no mũnyende, nĩgũkorwo ndoimire kũrĩ Ngai, na rĩu ndĩ gũkũ. Ti niĩ mwene ndĩĩtũmĩte, no nĩwe wandũmire.
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, all of you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Mũraga gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa ndĩroiga nĩkĩ? Tondũ mũtirahota kũmenya ũhoro ũrĩa ndĩraria.
Why do all of you not understand my speech? even because all of you cannot hear my word. (logos)
44 Inyuĩ mũrĩ ciana cia ithe wanyu, Mũcukani, na mwendaga kũhingia merirĩria ma ithe wanyu. We aarĩ mũũragani kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria. Ndathingataga ũhoro wa ma, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ ũhoro wa ma thĩinĩ wake. Rĩrĩa ekũheenania, aaragia rũthiomi rwake, tondũ we nĩ mũheenania, na nĩwe ithe wa maheeni.
All of you are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father all of you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 No tondũ njaragia ũhoro wa ma-rĩ, mũtinjĩtĩkagia.
And because I tell you the truth, all of you believe me not.
46 Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũmwe wanyu ũngĩonania atĩ ndĩ mwĩhia? Angĩkorwo ndĩraria ũhoro wa ma-rĩ, mũregaga kũnjĩtĩkia nĩkĩ?
Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do all of you not believe me?
47 Ũrĩa ũrĩ wa Ngai nĩaiguaga ũrĩa Ngai oigaga. Kĩrĩa kĩgiragia mũmũigue nĩ tondũ mũtirĩ a Ngai.”
He that is of God hears God's words: (rhema) all of you therefore hear them not, because all of you are not of God.
48 Nao Ayahudi makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ tũtirĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kuuga atĩ wee ũrĩ Mũsamaria na ũrĩ na ndaimono?”
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil?
49 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndirĩ na ndaimono, no nĩndĩĩte Baba, no inyuĩ mũtindĩĩte.
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and all of you do dishonour me.
50 Ndirecarĩria ũgooci wakwa niĩ mwene, no nĩ harĩ na ũmwe ũrĩa ũũcaragia, na nĩwe mũtuanĩri ciira.
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.
51 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũndũ o wothe angĩrũmia kiugo gĩakwa, ndarĩ hĩndĩ akona gĩkuũ.” (aiōn g165)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, (logos) he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Ayahudi maigua ũguo, makĩgũthũka makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩu nĩtwamenya atĩ ũrĩ na ndaimono. Iburahĩmu nĩakuire o na anabii magĩkua, no wee ũroiga atĩ mũndũ o wothe angĩrũmia kiugo gĩaku, ndagacama gĩkuũ. (aiōn g165)
Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keep my saying, (logos) he shall never taste of death. (aiōn g165)
53 Wee ũkĩrĩ mũnene gũkĩra ithe witũ Iburahĩmu? We nĩakuire o na anabii magĩkua. Kaĩ ũreciiria we ũrĩ ũ?”
Are you greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom make you yourself?
54 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ingĩĩgooca-rĩ, kwĩgooca gwakwa nĩ gwa tũhũ. Baba, ũrĩa muugaga atĩ nĩwe Ngai wanyu nĩwe ũngoocithagia.
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honors me; of whom all of you say, that he is your God:
55 O na gũtuĩka mũtimũũĩ, niĩ nĩndĩmũũĩ. Ingiuga atĩ ndimũũĩ, ingĩtuĩka wa maheeni ta inyuĩ, no nĩndĩmũũĩ na nĩnũmĩtie kiugo gĩake.
Yet all of you have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. (logos)
56 Ithe wanyu Iburahĩmu nĩakenaga atĩ nĩakona mũthenya wakwa; na nĩawonire na agĩcanjamũka.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Nao Ayahudi makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee o na ndũkinyĩtie mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano, na ũkoiga atĩ nĩwonete Iburahĩmu!”
Then said the Jews unto him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?
58 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, Iburahĩmu atanaciarwo, Niĩ ndũire!”
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Maigua ũguo makĩoya mahiga mamũhũũre namo nyuguto, no Jesũ akĩĩhitha, akiuma kũu hekarũ-inĩ.
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
