Uyuhana 8
1 Yeso maha ani po nu zaitun,
but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Ni sisizo maze udenge wasere, anu vat wa eh ahira ame; ma cukuno madun garwe.
At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself;
3 Ba anu nitike nan nanubezizi uru sa wa en ure vanau e sa amekki me in ni hara ni ma dini. Wawume atii.
and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put the case to Him.
4 Ba wagun me, “Unu dungara, unee uginome a mekkime mara anyimo uwuza uni hara ni madi.
"Rabbi," they said, "this woman has been found in the very act of committing adultery.
5 Anyimo uweki utize ti Musa maguna n duru ti tizi usasana wanu aginome, hu nyani waguna me?”
Now, in the Law, Moses has ordered us to stone such women to death. But what do you say?"
6 Wabuki anime barki wa masame. Wa kem imumbe sa wadi buki ani ce nu me, Ba Yeso ma tunguno ma nitiki a dizii inni bo nume.
They asked this in order to put Him to the test, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger on the ground.
7 Sawa reje innu igizo ume, maluri ma tonno magunwe, “Deebe sa ma zoome in madini ba anyimo ashime, matubi u vingizi ume inpo”.
When however they persisted with their question, He raised His head and said to them, "Let the sinless man among you be the first to throw a stone at her."
8 Makuri mutunguno, ma nitiki innibo nume adizii.
Then He leant forward again, and again began to write on the ground.
9 Sawa kunna anime, wasusi a inde-inde, umeki uzika unaanu uwe. Umasir ka a ceki Yeso me i sisi ime nan nu ne me sa mara atii awe.
They listened to Him, and then, beginning with the eldest, took their departure, one by one, till all were gone. And Jesus was left behind alone--and the woman in the centre of the court.
10 Yeso mahiri matonno ma gunme, “Unee, ani anu boo uwe wa raa? Daa unu reki uwe marani ba?
Then, raising His head, Jesus said to her, "Where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
11 Magu, “Unu mazoni, Ugomo Asere” Yeso magu, “micangi daki mare kuwe ba. Dusaule kati ukuri u wuzi ni hara nimadini.
"No one, Sir," she replied. "And I do not condemn you either," said Jesus; "go, and from this time do not sin any more."]
12 Yeso ma kinki ubuku tize nan nanume magu, mimani masz munee, me desa ma tarsam, mada wuza me tanu anyi mo amareuba. Anime madi kem masa mi vai.
Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the Light of the world," He said; "the man who follows me shall certainly not walk in the dark, but shall have the light of Life."
13 Anu bezizi urusa wagun me, “U nyinza urusa uni ce nuwe, urusa uwe daki u ka daure kaniba”.
"You are giving testimony about yourself," said the Pharisees; "your testimony is not true."
14 Yeso ma kabirka magunwe, “Inki manya urasa ani ce num kadure kani, inrusa ahira sama suroni nan na hirame sandi dusani shi tashi ahira sa masuro ni ba, ida kuri irusi shi ahira sandi dusa niba.
"Even if I am giving testimony about myself," replied Jesus, "my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you know neither of these two things.
15 I wesi tize tu hemu ni ce, mi daa mawe ki uye tize ba.
You judge according to appearances: I am judging no one.
16 Ko gusi ma agu ma weki uye tize, u weki utize tum kadure kani barki dakki min sisi in iniba, inzi nanka coo desa ma tumam.
And even if I do judge, my judgement is just; for I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.
17 Um, anyimo u inko u tize tishi a ni tike u guna unyinza urusa ana ware kadure kani.
In your own Law, too, it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Mimani in zini nyinza urusa unice num, me a coo desa matumam mazin nu nyinza urasa um.
I am one giving testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony about me."
19 Wagun me, “Acoome maraa?” Yeso ma ka birka we magu, “itashimiba nani a coo um, inda gi irusam ida rusa a coo u me.
"Where is your Father?" they asked. "You know my Father as little as you know me." He replied; "if you knew me, you would know my Father also."
20 Mabuki ni guran nigino mamu nan na hira ati inso uganiya amen nu dungara anyimo udenge Asere, ani me daki uye ma meki barki sa u ganiya u me dakki wa wuna ba udaza.
These sayings He uttered in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come.
21 Makinki uguna uwe, “indi dusa, idi nyarini mi ida kem me miba, idi wiji a nyimo u cara abanga ashimeni. Ahira san in haza idake irusa u hana me ba.
Again He said to them, "I am going away. Then you will try to find me, but you will die in your sins. Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come."
22 Mayahudawa magu, “Madi hu ni ce nume ni ni, sama guna ahira sa in haza idakee ida hana shiba?”
The Jews began to ask one another, "Is he going to kill himself, do you think, that he says, 'Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come'?"
23 Yesu magun we, shi a dizi ani irani, mi Asesere ani. Shi ira unee ugeuni, mi kuma daki un nee ugen ne uniba.
"You," He continued, "are from below, I am from above: you are of this present world, I am not of this present world.
24 Inee ini ya wuna magunan shi idi wiji anyimo ucara abanga ashime in. Indaki ya hem in mi ba idi wiji anyimo amadi mashi.
That is why I told you that you will die in your sins; for, unless you believe that I am He, that is what will happen."
25 Ba wagun me,”Humani aveni?” Yeso magun we, “imumbe sa mabuka shi da ti utuba.
"You--who are you?" they asked. "How is it that I am speaking to you at all?" replied Jesus.
26 In zin ni mum gwardang san di buki shi, inkuri in gbarika shi aini. Vat a ani me de sa ma, tumam, una kadure mani, ati mumume sa makuna ahirame, ti mu mum tigino tini in bo unee.”
"Many things I have to speak and to judge concerning you. But He who sent me is true, and the things which I have heard from Him are those which I have come into the world to speak."
27 Daki wa rusa imumbe sa mazin nu bo me ani ce na coo me.
They did not perceive that He was speaking to them of the Father.
28 Yeso magu, “Inki yahiriza vana unu Azesere ani me idi rusi mimani, daki ma wuza ani me barki ni ce mumba, kasi gusi a coo ma dungaram, ane ani in bo ti mumum tiginoo.
So Jesus added, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He. Of myself I do nothing; but as the Father has taught me, so I speak.
29 Mede sa ma tuma, ma zi nigome nan mi daki ma cekum isisi imba, barki in wuza timumu sa ti mumum tiginoo.
And He who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone: for I do always what is pleasing to Him."
30 Sa Yeso mazin nu bo uti mumu, gbardang wa hem in me.
As He thus spoke, many became believers in Him.
31 Yeso ma buki Ayahudawa sa wa hem in me, “inki yatonno anyimo atize tum shi anu tarsa um wani aka dure.
Jesus therefore said to those of the Jews who had now believed in Him, "As for you, if you hold fast to my teaching, then you are truly my disciples;
32 Idi rusi kadure, kadure kadi burishi.
and you shall know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free."
33 Wakabirka, “We bisana bi Ibrahim bini daki tamu wuza nirere ahira a uyeba, aneni udigu, a dibuiri shi?”
"We are descendants of Abraham," they answered, "and have never at any time been in slavery to any one. What do those words of yours mean, 'You shall become free'?"
34 Yeso magun we, “kadure, kadundure, in gussan shi, vat de sa ma wuza bi wuza wuza bima dini urere u madini mani.
"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that every one who commits sin is the slave of sin.
Now a slave does not remain permanently in his master's house, but a son does. (aiōn g165)
36 Barki anime, inki vana mabura shi, idi cukuno anu bura kam.
If then the Son shall make you free, you will be free indeed.
37 In rusa shi bisana bi Ibrahim bini, inyara ihuni mi barki ni guran num ni zomen na hira ati cukum anyimo ashi.
You are descendants of Abraham, I know; but you want to kill me, because my teaching gains no ground within you.
38 Mabuka ti mu mum sa ma ira ahira a coo um, shi iwuza imumbe sa ya kunna ahira a coo ushi.”
The words I speak are those I have learnt in the presence of the Father. Therefore you also should do what you have heard from your father."
39 Wa kabirka wagun me, “Ibrahim mani a coo uru” Yeso magun we, “Gussishi a hanna Ibrahim wani ida wuza i mumbe sa Ibrahim ma wuza.
"Our father is Abraham," they said. "If you were Abraham's children," replied Jesus, "it is Abraham's deeds that you would be doing.
40 Ine ini aname inyara ihunimi, unume sama buka shi kadura sa makunna a hira Aserte. Ibrahim daka ma wuzi anime ba.
But, in fact, you are longing to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth which I have heard from God. Abraham did not do that.
41 I wuzi imumu ya coo ushi. Wagun me, “Haru daki ayon duru upebu uniba, tizinka coo u inde: Asere.”
You are doing the deeds of your father." "We," they replied, "are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, namely God."
42 Yeso magun we, “Gusi Asere a coo u shi mani, ida hemin mi, barki ma aye usuro a hira Asere mibe abame, daki barki ni ce num nini ma aye ba, Me nani matuman.
"If God were your Father," said Jesus, "you would love me; for it is from God that I came and I am now here. I have not come of myself, but He sent me.
43 Nyani ya wuna daki ya rusa tize tumba? barki sadaki sa idake ikuntize tum tiniba.
How is it you do not understand me when I speak? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my words.
44 Shi wa coo, ushi uburu mani inyara i wuzi imumu ya coo ushi. Me unu huzaa nu mani daati utuba mada tunzino me a kadure barki kadure ka zoni a anyimo ame. Uganiya sa mabo ma cuco, mabo u zina ume uni barki me una macuco mani nan ka coo a mooco.
The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do what gives him pleasure. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth--for there is no truth in him. Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
45 In boshi kadure daki ya nyaa ce in mi ba.
But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Avee ni anyimo ashime mamekum in hara nimadi? Inki mabuka kadu re kani nyani yawuna daki ya hen in miba?
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Me de sama zi wasere make ma kunna tize ta, asere, shi da kunna shi tize tasere barki sa shi da Asere.”
He who is a child of God listens to God's words. You do not listen to them: and why? It is because you are not God's children."
48 Mayaduwa wakabirka me, “tidabome kadure ba barki sa taguna hu ubasamariya mani u zin na gbergene?”
"Are we not right," answered the Jews, "in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?"
49 Yeso makabirka, “Minzoom na gbergene, inyinza a coo um ti nanu. Slibe ida nyin zami tinanu tum ba.”
"I am not possessed by a demon," replied Jesus. "On the contrary I honour my Father, and you dishonour me.
50 Idaa nyaram u ye zize u nice numba, anunyara u anime warani wagwara.
I, however, am not aiming at glory for myself: there is One who aims at glory for me--and who judges.
In most solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall have obeyed my teaching he shall in no case ever see death." (aiōn g165)
52 Ba mayahudawa wagunme, anume tarusa in zin na gbergene. Ibrahim nan ana katuma kasere wa wijo. hube waguna, debesa matarsa tize tuwe madi da donkin kino me iwowoba'. (aiōn g165)
"Now," exclaimed the Jews, "we know that you are possessed by a demon. Abraham died, and so did the Prophets, and yet you say, 'If any one shall have obeyed my teaching, he shall in no case ever taste death.' (aiōn g165)
53 Uda tekuwe a coo uru Ibrahim sama ma wi, nani uteki me? ana dang aka tuma kasere wawijo, hu ucira nice nuwe aveni?”
Are you really greater than our forefather Abraham? For he died. And the prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
54 Yeso makubirka, “Inki ma heza nice num uyeze usisi unee ani, acooum mani Asere ashime.
"Were I to glorify myself," answered Jesus, "I should have no real glory. There is One who glorifies me--namely my Father, who you say is your God.
55 Shibe itashime ba, min inrusanme. inki maguna intamin me, macukuno kasi we ini, una ma cuco.
You do not know Him, but I know Him perfectly; and were I to deny my knowledge of Him, I should resemble you, and be a liar. On the contrary I do know Him, and I obey His commands.
56 Min rusanme intarsa tize tume. Aco ushi ibrahim ma zin na puru a rum in nu ira u wui um, ma ira uni ma wuna apum arum”.
Abraham your forefather exulted in the hope of seeing my day: and he saw it, and was glad."
57 Ma yahudawa wagun me, “Daki wabiki tiwe akuru ciibi sa udigu wamu ira Ibrahim?”
"You are not yet fifty years old," cried the Jews, "and have you seen Abraham?"
58 Yeso ma gun we, “kadundure kani in boshi, ayoo Ibrahim adumo am ani.
"In most solemn truth," answered Jesus, "I tell you that before Abraham came into existence, I am."
59 Wa ziki apo wadi tizimeni, Yeso ma hunze nice mimeni, ma suri u denge Asere me.
Thereupon they took up stones with which to stone Him, but He hid Himself and went away out of the Temple.
