Johana 8
1 No rĩrĩ, Jesũ agĩthiĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ.
but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Na rũciinĩ tene akĩroka o rĩngĩ kũu nja cia hekarũ, kũrĩa andũ othe maamũrigiicĩirie. Nake agĩikara thĩ kũmaruta.
Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
3 Arutani a watho hamwe na Afarisai makĩrehe mũtumia wanyiitĩtwo agĩtharia. Makĩmũrũgamia hau mbere ya gĩkundi,
Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 na makĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, mũtumia ũyũ aanyiitwo agĩtharia.
they said to him, "Teacher, we found this woman 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 in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
6 Maahũthagĩra kĩũria gĩkĩ kĩrĩ ta mũtego, nĩgeetha magĩe na ũndũ wa kũmũthitangĩra. No Jesũ akĩinamĩrĩra, na akĩambĩrĩria kwandĩka thĩ na kĩara gĩake.
Now they said this to test him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
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.”
But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
8 Agĩcooka akĩinamĩrĩra rĩngĩ, akĩandĩka thĩ na kĩara.
Again he stooped down, and with his finger 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.
But when they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last, and he was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
10 Jesũ akĩinamũka, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ, agũthitangi marĩ ha? Hatirĩ o na ũmwe wao wagũtuĩra?”
Then Jesus, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
11 Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe.” Nake Jesũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ ndigũgũtuĩra. Thiĩ, na ndũkanacooke kwĩhia.”)
And she said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "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.”
Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will 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 to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
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 them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I am going.
15 Inyuĩ mũtuanagĩra ciira na ũmũndũ; niĩ ndirĩ mũndũ nduagĩra ciira.
You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16 No o na ingĩtuanĩra ciira-rĩ, itua rĩakwa nĩrĩagĩrĩire, nĩgũkorwo ndituanagĩra ndĩ nyiki. No niĩ ndĩ na Baba, ũrĩa wandũmire.
Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 Thĩinĩ wa watho wanyu nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩ ũira wa andũ eerĩ nĩ wa ma.
It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 Niĩ ndĩraruta ũira wakwa mwene; nake mũira wakwa ũcio ũngĩ nĩ Baba ũrĩa wandũmire.”
I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
19 Ningĩ makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Thoguo arĩ kũ?” Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũtinjũũĩ, o na Baba mũtimũũĩ. Korwo nĩmũnjũũĩ, o na Baba nĩmũngĩmũũĩ.”
They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know 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.
Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had 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.”
Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come."
22 Ũhoro ũcio ũgĩtũma Ayahudi morie atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ekwĩyũraga? Hihi nĩkĩo aroiga atĩ, ‘Kũrĩa ngũthiĩ mũtingĩhota gũũka’?”
The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come?'"
23 Nowe akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũrĩ a gũkũ thĩ, niĩ nyumĩte Igũrũ.
He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. 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 to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will 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.
They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to 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 speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
27 Nao matiigana kũmenya atĩ aameeraga ũhoro wa Ithe.
They did not understand that he spoke to them about 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.
Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things.
29 Nake ũrĩa wandũmire arĩ hamwe na niĩ; ndandigĩte ndĩ nyiki, nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ciothe njĩkaga maũndũ o marĩa mamũkenagia.”
He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
30 O akĩaragia-rĩ, andũ aingĩ makĩmwĩtĩkia.
As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31 Nake Jesũ akĩĩra Ayahudi arĩa maamwĩtĩkĩtie atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩrũmia ũrutani wakwa-rĩ, mũrĩ arutwo akwa kũna.
Jesus therefore said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32 Nĩ mũkaamenya ũhoro wa ma, naguo ũhoro ũcio wa ma nĩ ũkaamũkũũra.”
You will know the truth, and the truth will 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 are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"
34 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ o ma, mũndũ o wothe wĩhagia nĩ ngombo ya mehia.
Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the slave 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)
A slave does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũrũ wa Ngai angĩkamũkũũra-rĩ, nĩmũgakũũrwo kũna.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 Nĩnjũũĩ mũrĩ a rũciaro rwa Iburahĩmu, no nĩmwĩharĩirie kũnjũraga, tondũ ũhoro wakwa ndũrĩ na ũikaro thĩinĩ wanyu.
I know that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 Niĩ ndĩramwĩra maũndũ marĩa nyonete harĩ Baba, na inyuĩ mwĩkaga maũndũ marĩa mũiguĩte kuuma kũrĩ ithe wanyu.”
I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have heard from 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 him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, 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 you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
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.”
You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, 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.
Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I have not come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Mũraga gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa ndĩroiga nĩkĩ? Tondũ mũtirahota kũmenya ũhoro ũrĩa ndĩraria.
Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
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.
You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.
45 No tondũ njaragia ũhoro wa ma-rĩ, mũtinjĩtĩkagia.
But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũmwe wanyu ũngĩonania atĩ ndĩ mwĩhia? Angĩkorwo ndĩraria ũhoro wa ma-rĩ, mũregaga kũnjĩtĩkia nĩkĩ?
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Ũrĩa ũrĩ wa Ngai nĩaiguaga ũrĩa Ngai oigaga. Kĩrĩa kĩgiragia mũmũigue nĩ tondũ mũtirĩ a Ngai.”
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because 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 the Judeans answered him, "Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"
49 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndirĩ na ndaimono, no nĩndĩĩte Baba, no inyuĩ mũtindĩĩte.
Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 Ndirecarĩria ũgooci wakwa niĩ mwene, no nĩ harĩ na ũmwe ũrĩa ũũcaragia, na nĩwe mũtuanĩri ciira.
But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
51 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũndũ o wothe angĩrũmia kiugo gĩakwa, ndarĩ hĩndĩ akona gĩkuũ.” (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will 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 the Judeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will 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, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
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 glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say 'He is our God.'
55 O na gũtuĩka mũtimũũĩ, niĩ nĩndĩmũũĩ. Ingiuga atĩ ndimũũĩ, ingĩtuĩka wa maheeni ta inyuĩ, no nĩndĩmũũĩ na nĩnũmĩtie kiugo gĩake.
You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.
56 Ithe wanyu Iburahĩmu nĩakenaga atĩ nĩakona mũthenya wakwa; na nĩawonire na agĩcanjamũka.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
57 Nao Ayahudi makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee o na ndũkinyĩtie mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano, na ũkoiga atĩ nĩwonete Iburahĩmu!”
The Judeans therefore said to 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 to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
59 Maigua ũguo makĩoya mahiga mamũhũũre namo nyuguto, no Jesũ akĩĩhitha, akiuma kũu hekarũ-inĩ.
Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was concealed, and went out of the temple.
