Κατα Ιωαννην 8
lakini Yesu akaenda kwenye mlima wa Mizeituni.
Kesho yake asubuhi na mapema alikwenda tena Hekaluni. Watu wote wakamwendea, naye akaketi akawa anawafundisha.
Basi, walimu wa Sheria na Mafarisayo wakamletea mwanamke mmoja aliyefumaniwa katika uzinzi. Wakamsimamisha katikati yao.
Kisha wakamwuliza Yesu, “Mwalimu! Mwanamke huyu alifumaniwa katika uzinzi.
Katika Sheria yetu Mose alituamuru mwanamke kama huyu apigwe mawe. Basi, wewe wasemaje?”
Walisema hivyo kumjaribu, wapate kisa cha kumshtaki. Lakini Yesu akainama chini, akaandika ardhini kwa kidole.
Walipozidi kumwuliza, Yesu akainuka, akawaambia, “Mtu asiye na dhambi miongoni mwenu na awe wa kwanza kumpiga jiwe.”
Kisha akainama tena, akawa anaandika ardhini.
Waliposikia hivyo, wakaanza kutoweka mmojammoja, wakitanguliwa na wazee. Yesu akabaki peke yake, na yule mwanamke amesimama palepale.
Yesu alipoinuka akamwuliza huyo mwanamke, “Wako wapi wale watu? Je, hakuna hata mmoja aliyekuhukumu?”
Huyo mwanamke akamjibu, “Mheshimiwa, hakuna hata mmoja!” Naye Yesu akamwambia, “Wala mimi sikuhukumu. Nenda zako; na tangu sasa usitende dhambi tena.”
12 Πάλιν οὖν αὐτοῖς ἐλάλησεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς λέγων, “Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου· ὁ ἀκολουθῶν μοι οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, ἀλλʼ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς.”
Yesu alipozungumza nao tena, aliwaambia, “Mimi ndimi mwanga wa ulimwengu. Anayenifuata mimi hatembei kamwe gizani, bali atakuwa na mwanga wa uzima.”
13 Εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι, “Σὺ περὶ σεαυτοῦ μαρτυρεῖς· ἡ μαρτυρία σου οὐκ ἔστιν ἀληθής.”
Basi, Mafarisayo wakamwambia, “Wewe unajishuhudia mwenyewe; kwa hiyo ushahidi wako si halali.”
14 Ἀπεκρίθη ˚Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Κἂν ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, ἀληθής ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία μου, ὅτι οἶδα πόθεν ἦλθον καὶ ποῦ ὑπάγω. Ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐκ οἴδατε πόθεν ἔρχομαι ἢ ποῦ ὑπάγω.
Yesu akawajibu, “Hata kama ninajishuhudia mwenyewe, ushahidi wangu ni wa kweli kwa sababu mimi najua nilikotoka na ninakokwenda. Lakini ninyi hamjui nilikotoka wala ninakokwenda.
15 Ὑμεῖς κατὰ τὴν σάρκα κρίνετε, ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω οὐδένα.
Ninyi mnahukumu kwa fikira za kibinadamu, lakini mimi simhukumu mtu.
16 Καὶ ἐὰν κρίνω δὲ ἐγώ, ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ ἀληθινή ἐστιν, ὅτι μόνος οὐκ εἰμί, ἀλλʼ ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πέμψας με Πατήρ.
Hata nikihukumu, hukumu yangu ni ya haki kwa sababu mimi siko peke yangu; Baba aliyenituma yuko pamoja nami.
17 Καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ δὲ τῷ ὑμετέρῳ γέγραπται, ὅτι δύο ἀνθρώπων ἡ μαρτυρία ἀληθής ἐστιν.
Imeandikwa katika Sheria yenu ya kwamba ushahidi wa watu wawili ni halali.
18 Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, καὶ μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὁ πέμψας με Πατήρ.”
Mimi najishuhudia mwenyewe, naye Baba aliyenituma, ananishuhudia pia.”
19 Ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ, “Ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ πατήρ σου;” Ἀπεκρίθη ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Οὔτε ἐμὲ οἴδατε, οὔτε τὸν Πατέρα μου. Εἰ ἐμὲ ᾔδειτε, καὶ τὸν Πατέρα μου ἂν ᾔδειτε.”
Hapo wakamwuliza, “Baba yako yuko wapi?” Yesu akawajibu “Ninyi hamnijui mimi wala hamumjui Baba. Kama mngenijua mimi, mngemjua na Baba yangu pia.”
20 Ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ γαζοφυλακίῳ, διδάσκων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ· καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπίασεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὔπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὥρα αὐτοῦ.
Yesu alisema maneno hayo kwenye chumba cha hazina alipokuwa anafundisha Hekaluni. Wala hakuna mtu aliyemtia nguvuni, kwa sababu saa yake ilikuwa haijafika bado.
21 Εἶπεν οὖν πάλιν αὐτοῖς, “Ἐγὼ ὑπάγω καὶ ζητήσετέ με, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ ὑμῶν ἀποθανεῖσθε· ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν.”
Yesu akawaambia tena, “Naenda zangu nanyi mtanitafuta, lakini mtakufa katika dhambi zenu. Niendako mimi, ninyi hamwezi kufika.”
22 Ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, “Μήτι ἀποκτενεῖ ἑαυτὸν, ὅτι λέγει, ‘Ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς, οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν’;”
Basi, viongozi wa Wayahudi wakasema, “Je, atajiua? Mbona anasema: Niendako ninyi hamwezi kufika?”
23 Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Ὑμεῖς ἐκ τῶν κάτω ἐστέ, ἐγὼ ἐκ τῶν ἄνω εἰμί· ὑμεῖς ἐκ τούτου τοῦ κόσμου ἐστέ, ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου.
Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi mmetoka papa hapa chini, mimi nimetoka juu; ninyi ni wa ulimwengu huu, mimi si wa ulimwengu huu.
24 Εἶπον οὖν ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν· ἐὰν γὰρ μὴ πιστεύσητε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν.”
Ndiyo maana niliwaambieni mtakufa katika dhambi zenu. Kama msipoamini kwamba Mimi ndimi, mtakufa katika dhambi zenu.”
25 Ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ, “Σὺ τίς εἶ;” Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Τὴν ἀρχὴν ὅ τι καὶ λαλῶ ὑμῖν;
Nao wakamwuliza, “Wewe ni nani?” Yesu akawajibu, “Nimewaambieni tangu mwanzo!
26 Πολλὰ ἔχω περὶ ὑμῶν λαλεῖν καὶ κρίνειν· ἀλλʼ ὁ πέμψας με ἀληθής ἐστιν, κἀγὼ ἃ ἤκουσα παρʼ αὐτοῦ, ταῦτα λαλῶ εἰς τὸν κόσμον.”
Ninayo mengi ya kusema na kuhukumu juu yenu. Lakini yule aliyenituma ni kweli; nami nauambia ulimwengu mambo yale tu niliyoyasikia kutoka kwake.”
27 Οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι τὸν Πατέρα αὐτοῖς ἔλεγεν.
Hawakuelewa kwamba Yesu alikuwa akisema nao juu ya Baba.
28 Εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ὅταν ὑψώσητε τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, τότε γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ ποιῶ οὐδέν, ἀλλὰ καθὼς ἐδίδαξέν με ὁ Πατὴρ, ταῦτα λαλῶ.
Basi, Yesu akawaambia, “Mtakapokwisha mwinua Mwana wa Mtu hapo ndipo mtakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi, na kwamba sifanyi chochote mimi mwenyewe, ila nasema tu yale Baba aliyonifundisha.
29 Καὶ ὁ πέμψας με, μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν· οὐκ ἀφῆκέν με μόνον, ὅτι ἐγὼ τὰ ἀρεστὰ αὐτῷ ποιῶ πάντοτε.”
Yule aliyenituma yuko pamoja nami; yeye hakuniacha peke yangu kwani nafanya daima yale yanayompendeza.”
30 Ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος, πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν.
Baada ya kusema hayo watu wengi walimwamini.
31 Ἔλεγεν οὖν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τοὺς πεπιστευκότας αὐτῷ Ἰουδαίους, “Ἐὰν ὑμεῖς μείνητε ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τῷ ἐμῷ, ἀληθῶς μαθηταί μού ἐστε.
Basi, Yesu akawaambia wale Wayahudi waliomwamini, “Kama mkiyazingatia mafundisho yangu mtakuwa kweli wanafunzi wangu.
32 Καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς.”
Mtaujua ukweli, nao ukweli utawapeni uhuru.”
33 Ἀπεκρίθησαν πρὸς αὐτόν, “Σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐσμεν, καὶ οὐδενὶ δεδουλεύκαμεν πώποτε· πῶς σὺ λέγεις, ὅτι ‘Ἐλεύθεροι γενήσεσθε’;”
Nao wakamjibu, “Sisi ni wazawa wa Abrahamu, na hatujapata kamwe kuwa watumwa wa mtu yeyote yule. Una maana gani unaposema: mtakuwa huru?”
34 Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν, δοῦλός ἐστιν τῆς ἁμαρτίας.
Yesu akawajibu, “Kweli nawaambieni, kila mtu anayetenda dhambi ni mtumwa wa dhambi.
Mtumwa hana makao ya kudumu nyumbani, lakini mwana anayo makao ya kudumu. (aiōn g165)
36 Ἐὰν οὖν ὁ Υἱὸς ὑμᾶς ἐλευθερώσῃ, ὄντως ἐλεύθεροι ἔσεσθε.
Kama mwana akiwapeni uhuru mtakuwa huru kweli.
37 Οἶδα ὅτι σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐστε, ἀλλὰ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι ὁ λόγος ὁ ἐμὸς οὐ χωρεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν.
Najua kwamba ninyi ni wazawa wa Abrahamu. Hata hivyo, mnataka kuniua kwa sababu hamuyakubali mafundisho yangu.
38 Ἃ ἐγὼ ἑώρακα παρὰ τῷ Πατρὶ, λαλῶ· καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν ἃ ἠκούσατε παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς, ποιεῖτε.”
Mimi nasema yale aliyonionyesha Baba, lakini ninyi mwafanya yale aliyowaambieni baba yenu.”
39 Ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, “Ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ ἐστιν.” Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Εἰ τέκνα τοῦ Ἀβραάμ ἐστε, τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ ἐποιεῖτε.
Wao wakamjibu, “Baba yetu ni Abrahamu!” Yesu akawaambia, “Kama ninyi mngekuwa watoto wa Abrahamu, mngefanya kama alivyofanya Abrahamu,
40 Νῦν δὲ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ἄνθρωπον ὃς τὴν ἀλήθειαν ὑμῖν λελάληκα, ἣν ἤκουσα παρὰ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ· τοῦτο Ἀβραὰμ οὐκ ἐποίησεν.
Mimi nimewaambieni ukweli niliousikia kwa Mungu; hata hivyo, ninyi mwataka kuniua. Abrahamu hakufanya hivyo!
41 Ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν.” εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ, “Ἡμεῖς ἐκ πορνείας οὐ γεγεννήμεθα· ἕνα Πατέρα ἔχομεν, τὸν ˚Θεόν.”
Ninyi mnafanya mambo yaleyale aliyofanya babu yenu.” Wao wakamwambia, “Sisi si watoto haramu! Tunaye baba mmoja tu, yaani Mungu.”
42 Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Εἰ ὁ ˚Θεὸς Πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἦν, ἠγαπᾶτε ἂν ἐμέ, ἐγὼ γὰρ ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἥκω· οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ ἐλήλυθα, ἀλλʼ ἐκεῖνός με ἀπέστειλεν.
Yesu akawaambia, “Kama Mungu angekuwa Baba yenu, mngenipenda mimi, maana mimi nilitoka kwa Mungu na sasa niko hapa. Sikuja kwa mamlaka yangu mwenyewe, ila yeye alinituma.
43 Διὰ τί τὴν λαλιὰν τὴν ἐμὴν οὐ γινώσκετε; Ὅτι οὐ δύνασθε ἀκούειν τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐμόν.
Kwa nini hamwelewi hayo ninayosema? Ni kwa kuwa hamwezi kuusikiliza ujumbe wangu.
44 Ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ διαβόλου ἐστὲ, καὶ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν θέλετε ποιεῖν. Ἐκεῖνος ἀνθρωποκτόνος ἦν ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ οὐκ ἔστηκεν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀλήθεια ἐν αὐτῷ. Ὅταν λαλῇ τὸ ψεῦδος, ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων λαλεῖ, ὅτι ψεύστης ἐστὶν, καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
Ninyi ni watoto wa baba yenu Ibilisi na mnataka tu kutekeleza tamaa za baba yenu. Yeye alikuwa muuaji tangu mwanzo; hana msimamo katika ukweli, kwani ukweli haumo ndani yake. Kila asemapo uongo, husema kutokana na hali yake ya maumbile, maana yeye ni mwongo na baba wa uongo.
45 Ἐγὼ δὲ ὅτι τὴν ἀλήθειαν λέγω, οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι!
Mimi nasema ukweli, na ndiyo maana ninyi hamniamini.
46 Τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐλέγχει με περὶ ἁμαρτίας; Εἰ ἀλήθειαν λέγω, διὰ τί ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι;
Nani kati yenu awezaye kuthibitisha kuwa mimi nina dhambi? Ikiwa basi nasema ukweli, kwa nini hamniamini?
47 Ὁ ὢν ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἀκούει· διὰ τοῦτο ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἀκούετε, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ οὐκ ἐστέ.”
Aliye wa Mungu husikiliza maneno ya Mungu. Lakini ninyi hamsikilizi kwa sababu ninyi si (watu wa) Mungu.”
48 Ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, “Οὐ καλῶς λέγομεν ἡμεῖς ὅτι Σαμαρείτης εἶ σὺ, καὶ δαιμόνιον ἔχεις;”
Wayahudi wakamwambia, “Je, hatukusema kweli kwamba wewe ni Msamaria, na tena una pepo?”
49 Ἀπεκρίθη ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἐγὼ δαιμόνιον οὐκ ἔχω, ἀλλὰ τιμῶ τὸν Πατέρα μου, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀτιμάζετέ με.
Yesu akajibu, “Mimi sina pepo; mimi namheshimu Baba yangu, lakini ninyi hamniheshimu.
50 Ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ ζητῶ τὴν δόξαν μου· ἔστιν ὁ ζητῶν καὶ κρίνων.
Mimi sijitafutii utukufu wangu mwenyewe; yuko mmoja mwenye kuutafuta utukufu huo, naye ni hakimu.
51 Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐάν τις τὸν ἐμὸν λόγον τηρήσῃ, θάνατον οὐ μὴ θεωρήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.” (aiōn g165)
Kweli nawaambieni, anayeuzingatia ujumbe wangu hatakufa milele.” (aiōn g165)
52 Εἶπον αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, “Νῦν ἐγνώκαμεν ὅτι δαιμόνιον ἔχεις. Ἀβραὰμ ἀπέθανεν καὶ οἱ προφῆται, καὶ σὺ λέγεις, ‘Ἐάν τις τὸν λόγον μου τηρήσῃ, οὐ μὴ γεύσηται θανάτου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.’ (aiōn g165)
Basi, Wayahudi wakasema, “Sasa tunajua kweli kwamba wewe ni mwendawazimu! Abrahamu alikufa, na manabii pia walikufa, nawe wasema ati, Anayeuzingatia ujumbe wangu hatakufa milele! (aiōn g165)
53 Μὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ, ὅστις ἀπέθανεν; Καὶ οἱ προφῆται ἀπέθανον! Τίνα σεαυτὸν ποιεῖς;”
Je, unajifanya mkuu zaidi kuliko baba yetu Abrahamu ambaye alikufa? Hata na manabii walikufa. Wewe unajifanya kuwa nani?”
54 Ἀπεκρίθη ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἐὰν ἐγὼ δοξάσω ἐμαυτόν, ἡ δόξα μου οὐδέν ἐστιν· ἔστιν ὁ Πατήρ μου ὁ δοξάζων με, ὃν ὑμεῖς λέγετε, ὅτι ‘˚Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐστιν’,
Yesu akawajibu, “Nikijitukuza mwenyewe, utukufu wangu si kitu. Baba yangu ambaye ninyi mwasema ni Baba yenu, ndiye anayenitukuza.
55 καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώκατε αὐτόν, ἐγὼ δὲ οἶδα αὐτόν, κἂν εἴπω ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα αὐτόν, ἔσομαι ὅμοιος ὑμῖν ψεύστης. Ἀλλʼ οἶδα αὐτὸν, καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τηρῶ.
Ninyi hamjapata kumjua, lakini mimi namjua. Na, nikisema simjui, nitakuwa mwongo kama ninyi. Mimi namjua na ninashika neno lake.
56 Ἀβραὰμ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἠγαλλιάσατο, ἵνα ἴδῃ τὴν ἡμέραν τὴν ἐμήν, καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἐχάρη.”
Abrahamu, baba yenu, alishangilia aione siku yangu; naye aliiona, akafurahi.”
57 Εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρὸς αὐτόν, “Πεντήκοντα ἔτη οὔπω ἔχεις, καὶ Ἀβραὰμ ἑώρακας;”
Basi, Wayahudi wakamwambia, “Wewe hujatimiza miaka hamsini bado, nawe umemwona Abrahamu?”
58 Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, πρὶν Ἀβραὰμ γενέσθαι, ἐγὼ εἰμί.”
Yesu akawaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, kabla Abrahamu hajazaliwa, mimi niko.”
59 Ἦραν οὖν λίθους, ἵνα βάλωσιν ἐπʼ αὐτόν· ˚Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐκρύβη, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ.
Hapo wakaokota mawe ili wamtupie, lakini Yesu akajificha, akatoka Hekaluni.
