Κατα Ιωαννην 8
1 [D Ιησους δε επορευθη εις το ορος των ελαιων.] [Steph Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν·]
Lakini Yesu akaenda katika Mlima wa Mizeituni.
2 [D ορθρου δε παλιν παραγεινεται εις το εἱερον, και πας ὁ λαος ηρχετο προς αυτον·] [Steph ὄρθρου δὲ πάλιν παρεγένετο εἰς τὸ ἱερόν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ καθίσας ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς.]
Alfajiri na mapema Yesu akaja tena Hekaluni, watu wote wakakusanyika, akakaa akaanza kuwafundisha.
3 [D αγουσιν δε οἱ γραμματεις και οἱ φαρισαιοι επι ἁμαρτειᾳ γυναικα ειλημμενην· και στησαντες αυτην εν μεσῳ] [Steph ἄγουσιν δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι γυναῖκα ἐπὶ μοιχείᾳ κατειλημμένην, καὶ στήσαντες αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ, ]
Walimu wa sheria na Mafarisayo wakamleta mwanamke mmoja aliyefumaniwa akizini. Wakamsimamisha katikati ya umati wa watu wote.
4 [D λεγουσιν αυτῳ, εκπειραζοντες αυτον οἱ ἱερεις ἱνα εχωσιν κατηγορειαν αυτου, Διδασκαλε, αὑτη ἡ γυνη κατειληπται επαυτοφωρῳ μοιχευομενη, ] [Steph λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, Διδάσκαλε, αὕτη ἡ γυνὴ κατείληπται ἐπαυτοφώρῳ μοιχευομένη.]
Wakamwambia Yesu, “Mwalimu, huyu mwanamke amekutwa akizini.
5 [D Μωυσης δε εν τῳ νομῳ εκελευσεν τας τοιαυτας λιθαζειν· συ δε νυν τι λεγεις; ] [Steph ἐν δὲ τῷ νόμῳ ἡμῖν Μωυσῆς ἐνετείλατο τὰς τοιαύτας λιθάζειν· σὺ οὖν τί λέγεις; ]
Katika sheria, Mose alituamuru kuwapiga kwa mawe wanawake wa namna hii, mpaka wafe. Sasa wewe wasemaje?”
6 [D ὁ δε Ιησους κατω κυψας τῳ δακτυλῳ κατεγραφεν εις την γην.] [Steph τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγον πειράζοντες αὐτόν, ἵνα ἔχωσιν κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κάτω κύψας, τῷ δακτύλῳ κατέγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν·]
Walimuuliza swali hili kama mtego ili wapate sababu ya kumshtaki. Lakini Yesu akainama akaanza kuandika ardhini kwa kidole chake.
7 [D ὡς δε επεμενον ερωτωντες, ανεκυψεν και ειπεν αυτοις, Ὁ αναμαρτητος ὑμων πρωτος επ᾽ αυτην βαλετω λιθον.] [Steph ὡς δὲ ἐπέμενον ἐρωτῶντες αὐτόν, ἀνέκυψεν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Ὁ ἀναμάρτητος ὑμῶν πρῶτος λίθον ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν βαλέτω.]
Walipoendelea kumuulizauliza akainuka, akawaambia, “Kama kuna mtu yeyote miongoni mwenu ambaye hana dhambi na awe wa kwanza kumtupia jiwe.”
8 [D και παλιν κατακυψας τῳ δακτυλῳ κατεγραφεν εις την γην.] [Steph καὶ πάλιν κάτω κύψας ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν.]
Akainama tena na kuandika ardhini.
9 [D ἑκαστος δε των Ιουδαιων εξηρχετο αρξαμενοι απο των πρεσβυτερων, ὡστε παντας εξελθειν· και κατελειφθη μονος και ἡ γυνη εν μεσῳ ουσα.] [Steph οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες ἐξήρχοντο εἷς καθεῖς, ἀρξάμενοι ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων [[ἕως τῶν ἐσχάτων·]] καὶ κατελείφθη μόνος ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἐν μέσῳ οὖσα.]
Waliposikia haya, wakaanza kuondoka mmoja mmoja, wakianzia wazee, hadi Yesu akabaki peke yake na yule mwanamke akiwa amesimama mbele yake.
10 [D ανακυψας δε ὁ Ιησους ειπεν τῃ γυναικει, Που εισιν; ουδεις σε κατεκρεινεν; ] [Steph ἀνακύψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς [[καὶ μηδένα θεασάμενος πλὴν τῆς γυναικὸς]] εἶπεν αὐτῇ, Γύναι, ποῦ εἰσιν [[ἐκεῖνοι οἱ κατήγοροί σου]]; οὐδείς σε κατέκρινεν; ]
Yesu akainuka na kumwambia, “Wako wapi wale waliokuwa wanakuhukumu kuwa mwenye hatia?”
11 [D κακεινη ειπεν αυτῳ, Ουδεις, κυριε. ὁ δε ειπεν, Ουδε εγω σε κατακρεινω. ὑπαγε, απο του νυν μηκετι ἁμαρτανε.] [Steph ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, Οὐδείς, κύριε. Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Οὐδὲ ἐγώ σε κατακρίνω· πορεύου καὶ μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε.]
Yule mwanamke akajibu, “Hakuna hata mmoja Bwana.” Yesu akamwambia, “Hata mimi sikuhukumu. Nenda zako, kuanzia 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, ἀλλ᾽ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς.
Kisha Yesu akasema nao tena akawaambia, “Mimi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Mtu yeyote akinifuata hatatembea gizani kamwe, bali atakuwa na nuru ya uzima.”
13 Εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι, Σὺ περὶ σεαυτοῦ μαρτυρεῖς· ἡ μαρτυρία σου οὐκ ἔστιν ἀληθής.
Mafarisayo wakamwambia, “Ushuhuda wako haukubaliki kwa kuwa unajishuhudia mwenyewe.”
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 najishuhudia mwenyewe, ushuhuda wangu ni kweli kwa sababu najua nilikotoka na ninakokwenda. Lakini ninyi hamjui nilikotoka wala ninakokwenda.
15 ὑμεῖς κατὰ τὴν σάρκα κρίνετε, ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω οὐδένα·
Ninyi mnahukumu kwa kufuata vipimo vya kibinadamu, mimi simhukumu mtu yeyote.
16 καὶ ἐὰν κρίνω δὲ ἐγώ, ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ ἀληθινή ἐστιν, ὅτι μόνος οὐκ εἰμί, ἀλλ᾽ ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ.
Lakini hata kama nikihukumu, uamuzi wangu ni sahihi kwa sababu sitoi hukumu yangu peke yangu, bali niko pamoja na Baba, aliyenituma.
17 καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ δὲ τῷ ὑμετέρῳ γέγραπται ὅτι δύο ἀνθρώπων ἡ μαρτυρία ἀληθής ἐστιν.
Imeandikwa katika Sheria yenu kwamba, ushahidi wa watu wawili ni thabiti.
18 ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, καὶ μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ.
Mimi najishuhudia mwenyewe, naye Baba aliyenituma hunishuhudia.”
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.
Ndipo wakamuuliza, “Huyo Baba yako yuko wapi?” Yesu akawajibu, “Ninyi hamnifahamu mimi ni nani, wala hammfahamu Baba yangu. Kama mngenifahamu mimi, mngemfahamu na Baba yangu.”
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 haya alipokuwa akifundisha katika chumba cha hazina Hekaluni. Lakini hakuna mtu aliyemkamata kwa kuwa saa yake ilikuwa haijawadia.
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, “Ninaenda zangu, nanyi mtanitafuta, lakini mtakufa katika dhambi zenu. Niendako mimi ninyi hamwezi kuja.”
22 ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, Μή τι ἀποκτενεῖ ἑαυτόν, ὅτι λέγει, Ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν;
Ndipo wale Wayahudi wakasema, “Je, atajiua? Je, hii ndiyo sababu amesema, ‘Niendako mimi ninyi hamwezi kuja’?”
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.
Akawaambia, “Ninyi mmetoka 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.
Niliwaambia kuwa mtakufa katika dhambi zenu, kwa maana msipoamini ya kwamba ‘Mimi Ndiye,’ mtakufa katika dhambi zenu.”
25 ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ, Σὺ τίς εἶ; εἶπεν αὐτοῖς [ὁ] Ἰησοῦς, Τὴν ἀρχὴν ὅ τι καὶ λαλῶ ὑμῖν;
Wakamuuliza, “Wewe ni nani?” Naye Yesu akawajibu, “Mimi ndiye yule ambaye nimekuwa nikiwaambia tangu mwanzo.
26 πολλὰ ἔχω περὶ ὑμῶν λαλεῖν καὶ κρίνειν· ἀλλ᾽ ὁ πέμψας με ἀληθής ἐστιν, κἀγὼ ἃ ἤκουσα παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ, ταῦτα λαλῶ εἰς τὸν κόσμον.
Nina mambo mengi ya kusema juu yenu na mengi ya kuwahukumu. Lakini yeye aliyenituma ni wa kweli, nami nanena na ulimwengu niliyoyasikia kutoka kwake.”
27 οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῖς ἔλεγεν.
Hawakuelewa kuwa alikuwa akiwaambia juu ya Baba yake wa Mbinguni.
28 εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ὅταν ὑψώσητε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, τότε γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ ποιῶ οὐδέν, ἀλλὰ καθὼς ἐδίδαξέν με ὁ πατήρ, ταῦτα λαλῶ.
Kisha Yesu akawaambia, “Mtakapokwisha kumwinua juu Mwana wa Adamu, ndipo mtakapojua kuwa, ‘Mimi ndiye yule niliyesema na kwamba mimi sitendi jambo lolote peke yangu bali ninasema yale tu ambayo Baba yangu amenifundisha.
29 καὶ ὁ πέμψας με, μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν· οὐκ ἀφῆκέν με μόνον, ὅτι ἐγὼ τὰ ἀρεστὰ αὐτῷ ποιῶ πάντοτε.
Yeye aliyenituma yu pamoja nami, hajaniacha, kwa kuwa siku zote nafanya mapenzi yake.’”
30 Ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν.
Wengi waliomsikia Yesu akisema maneno haya wakamwamini.
31 Ἔλεγεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τοὺς πεπιστευκότας αὐτῷ Ἰουδαίους, Ἐὰν ὑμεῖς μείνητε ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τῷ ἐμῷ, ἀληθῶς μαθηταί μού ἐστε,
Kisha Yesu akawaambia wale Wayahudi waliomwamini, “Kama mkidumu katika maneno yangu, mtakuwa wanafunzi wangu kweli kweli.
32 καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς.
Ndipo mtaijua kweli nayo kweli itawaweka huru.”
33 ἀπεκρίθησαν πρὸς αὐτόν, Σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐσμεν καὶ οὐδενὶ δεδουλεύκαμεν πώποτε· πῶς σὺ λέγεις ὅτι Ἐλεύθεροι γενήσεσθε;
Wao wakamjibu, “Sisi tu wazao wa Abrahamu, nasi hatujawa watumwa wa mtu yeyote. Wawezaje kusema kwamba tutawekwa huru?”
34 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς [ὁ] Ἰησοῦς, Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν, δοῦλός ἐστιν τῆς ἁμαρτίας.
Yesu akajibu, “Amin, amin nawaambia, kila atendaye dhambi ni mtumwa wa dhambi.
Mtumwa hakai nyumbani anakotumika siku zote, lakini mwana hukaa nyumbani daima. (aiōn g165)
36 ἐὰν οὖν ὁ υἱὸς ὑμᾶς ἐλευθερώσῃ, ὄντως ἐλεύθεροι ἔσεσθε.
Hivyo Mwana akiwaweka huru mtakuwa huru kweli kweli.
37 οἶδα ὅτι σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐστε· ἀλλὰ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι ὁ λόγος ὁ ἐμὸς οὐ χωρεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν.
Ninajua ya kuwa ninyi ni wazao wa Abrahamu, lakini mnatafuta wasaa wa kuniua kwa sababu ndani yenu hamna nafasi ya neno langu.
38 ἃ ἐγὼ ἑώρακα παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ λαλῶ· καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν ἃ ἠκούσατε, παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ποιεῖτε.
Ninasema yale niliyoyaona mbele za Baba yangu, nanyi inawapa kufanya yale mliyosikia kutoka kwa 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.
Wakajibu, “Baba yetu ni Abrahamu.” Yesu akawaambia, “Kama mngekuwa wazao wa Abrahamu mngefanya mambo yale aliyofanya Abrahamu.
40 νῦν δὲ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ἄνθρωπον ὃς τὴν ἀλήθειαν ὑμῖν λελάληκα, ἣν ἤκουσα παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ· τοῦτο Ἀβραὰμ οὐκ ἐποίησεν.
Lakini sasa ninyi mnatafuta kuniua, mtu ambaye nimewaambia kweli ile niliyosikia kutoka kwa Mungu, Abrahamu hakufanya jambo la namna hii.
41 ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν. εἶπον αὐτῷ, Ἡμεῖς ἐκ πορνείας οὐ ἐγεννήθημεν, ἕνα πατέρα ἔχομεν τὸν θεόν.
Ninyi mnafanya mambo afanyayo baba yenu.” Wakamjibu, “Sisi hatukuzaliwa kwa uzinzi. Tunaye Baba mmoja, Mungu pekee.”
42 εἶπεν αὐτοῖς [ὁ] Ἰησοῦς, Εἰ ὁ θεὸς πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἦν, ἠγαπᾶτε ἂν ἐμέ· ἐγὼ γὰρ ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἥκω· οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ ἐλήλυθα, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκεῖνός με ἀπέστειλεν.
Yesu akawaambia, “Kama Mungu angekuwa Baba yenu, mngenipenda, kwa maana nilitoka kwa Mungu na sasa niko hapa. Sikuja kwa ajili 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 ninayowaambia? Ni kwa sababu hamwezi kusikia nisemacho.
44 ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ διαβόλου ἐστὲ καὶ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν θέλετε ποιεῖν. ἐκεῖνος ἀνθρωποκτόνος ἦν ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ οὐχ ἕστηκεν, 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, nanyi mnataka kutimiza matakwa ya baba yenu. Yeye alikuwa muuaji tangu mwanzo, wala hakushikana na kweli maana hamna kweli ndani yake. Asemapo uongo husema yaliyo yake mwenyewe kwa maana yeye ni mwongo na baba wa huo uongo.
45 ἐγὼ δὲ ὅτι τὴν ἀλήθειαν λέγω, οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι.
Lakini kwa sababu nimewaambia kweli hamkuniamini!
46 τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐλέγχει με περὶ ἁμαρτίας; εἰ ἀλήθειαν λέγω, διὰ τί ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι;
Je, kuna yeyote miongoni mwenu awezaye kunithibitisha kuwa mwenye dhambi? Kama nawaambia yaliyo kweli, mbona hamniamini?
47 ὁ ὢν ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ θεοῦ ἀκούει· διὰ τοῦτο ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἀκούετε, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ἐστέ.
Yeye atokaye kwa Mungu husikia kile Mungu asemacho. Sababu ya ninyi kutosikia ni kwa kuwa hamtokani na Mungu.”
48 ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, Οὐ καλῶς λέγομεν ἡμεῖς ὅτι Σαμαρείτης εἶ σὺ καὶ δαιμόνιον ἔχεις;
Wayahudi wakamjibu Yesu, “Je, hatuko sahihi tunaposema ya kwamba wewe ni Msamaria na ya kwamba una pepo mchafu?”
49 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς, Ἐγὼ δαιμόνιον οὐκ ἔχω, ἀλλὰ τιμῶ τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀτιμάζετέ με.
Yesu akawajibu, “Mimi sina pepo mchafu, bali ninamheshimu Baba yangu, nanyi mnanidharau.
50 ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ ζητῶ τὴν δόξαν μου· ἔστιν ὁ ζητῶν καὶ κρίνων.
Lakini mimi sitafuti utukufu wangu mwenyewe, bali yuko anayetaka kunitukuza, naye ndiye mwamuzi.
51 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐάν τις τὸν ἐμὸν λόγον τηρήσῃ, θάνατον οὐ μὴ θεωρήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. (aiōn g165)
Amin, amin nawaambia, mtu yeyote akilitii neno langu hataona mauti 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)
Ndipo Wayahudi wakamwambia, “Sasa tumejua kwamba una pepo mchafu. Ikiwa Abrahamu alikufa na vivyo hivyo manabii, nawe unasema ‘Mtu akitii neno langu hatakufa milele.’ (aiōn g165)
53 μὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ, ὅστις ἀπέθανεν; καὶ οἱ προφῆται ἀπέθανον· τίνα σεαυτὸν ποιεῖς;
Je, wewe ni mkuu kuliko baba yetu Abrahamu ambaye alikufa na manabii ambao nao pia walikufa? Hivi 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, “Kama nikijitukuza utukufu wangu hauna maana. Baba yangu, huyo ambaye ninyi mnadai kuwa ni Mungu wenu, ndiye anitukuzaye mimi.
55 καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώκατε αὐτόν, ἐγὼ δὲ οἶδα αὐτόν. κἂν εἴπω ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα αὐτόν, ἔσομαι ὅμοιος ὑμῖν ψεύστης· ἀλλὰ οἶδα αὐτὸν καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τηρῶ.
Ingawa hamkumjua, mimi ninamjua. Kama ningesema simjui, ningekuwa mwongo kama ninyi, lakini mimi ninamjua na ninalitii neno lake.
56 Ἀβραὰμ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἠγαλλιάσατο ἵνα ἴδῃ τὴν ἡμέραν τὴν ἐμήν, καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἐχάρη.
Baba yenu Abrahamu alishangilia kwamba angaliiona siku yangu, naye akaiona na akafurahi.”
57 εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρὸς αὐτόν, Πεντήκοντα ἔτη οὔπω ἔχεις, καὶ Ἀβραὰμ ἑώρακας;
Wayahudi wakamwambia, “Wewe hujatimiza hata miaka hamsini, wewe wasema umemwona Abrahamu?”
58 εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς, Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, πρὶν Ἀβραὰμ γενέσθαι ἐγὼ εἰμί.
Yesu akawaambia, “Amin, amin nawaambia, kabla Abrahamu hajakuwako, ‘Mimi niko.’”
59 ἦραν οὖν λίθους ἵνα βάλωσιν ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν· Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐκρύβη καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ.
Ndipo wakaokota mawe ili kumpiga, lakini Yesu akajificha, naye akatoka Hekaluni.
