Yohana 7
1 Akhasekhe kha mbombo nchoni o Yesu akhaluta leno khu Galilaya, pakhuva sakhanogwe ukhuluta khuvuyahudi pakhuva avayakhudi valekhovomba amipango egwakhubuda.
After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.
2 Leno olonemele olwa Vayahudi, olonemelo olwa vitembe, vwale pakhufikha.
However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.
3 Pu avalokololwe vakhambula, “Khega apa ulutage khuvuyahudi, khuta avakongi va mwene valole imbombo inchivomba.
So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.
4 Asipali uvivomba lyolyoni khu siri pakhuva yuhwa inogwa ukhuvonekha pavuvalafu. Inave vuvomba imbombo inchi, evonesye yuve khuvakhelunga.”
For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”
5 Ata avalokololye sa vakhamwedekha.
For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.
6 Pu Yesu akhambula, “Akhasekhe khango sakhafighe bado, pakhuva akhasekhe akhenyo khela sekhekhale tayali.
Therefore Jesus told them, “Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.
7 Ekherunga sakhiwesya ukhuvakalalila omwe, pukhikhong'ararena one pakhuva nikhuvavoneswa isivombo pakhuta utovombo tuvivi.
The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.
8 Tagaga mulutage khulonemero; one saniluta khurunemero olo pakhuva osekhe gwango sagukwelile bado.”
Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”
9 Osekhe ogwa khunchova imbombo incho khuvene, akhanchiga khu Galilaya.
Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.
10 Inave evo, avalokorolwe vavile valutile kholonemelo, navope puakhaluta, sio pavuvalafu nukhwefikha.
But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.
11 Avayahudi valekhundonda upuvale palonemelo nukhunchova, “Ale ndakhu?”
So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”
12 Pale na mamenyu mingi igati mululundamo ukhulingana nu mwene. Vingi vakhanchovile, “Munu inonu.” Avange vakhata, “Hamuna, ikhoruyancha ululundamano.”
Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”
13 Hata evo akhasipali uvekha nchovile pavuvarafu ukhukongana nukhuva dwada Avayahudi.
Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.
14 Ulunemelo luvile lufike pagati, o Yesu akhatoga pakyanya patembile nukhumanyisya.
About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.
15 Avayahudi valekhuswiga nukhunchova, “Khu njila elekhu umunu oyo anchimanyile imbombo nyingi? Sasomile mwee.”
The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”
16 O Yesu akhavanda nukhuvavula, “Olumanyisyo lwango sio lwango, pakhuva lwamwene uyasukhile.
“My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.
17 Inave vevoni ovinogwa okhovomba ovuvalanche vwa mwene, ikhulumanya ulumanyisyo olu, inave gikhuma khwa Nguluve, inave ninchova khulyune nemwene.
If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.
18 Uninchova gikhuma khumwene ilonda uluginwo ulwamwene pakhuva uyilonda oluginwo ulwa vasung'ire, umunu uyo va lweli, mugati mumwene pasipali okhovomba elweli.
He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.
19 U Musa sakhavapa omwe ululagero? Pakhuva asipali ate yumo igati indyumwe uvivomba ovulagelo. Khekhi munogwa okhumbuda?
Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”
20 Ululundamano lukhanda, “Ulene lipepo. Veni inogwa ukhukhubuda?”
“You have a demon,” the crowd replied. “Who is trying to kill You?”
21 O Yesu akhavanda akhavavula, “Nevombile embombo yemo, na yumwe muswigire pakhuva ya mwene.
Jesus answered them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.
22 U Musa avapile etohara (Sio ukhuta yikhuma khwa Musa, pakhuva yikhuma khuva baba), ne Sabato mukhotahili umunu.
But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)
23 Inave umunu ikhwopelela etokhara esikhu eya Sabato khukhuta ululagero ulwa Musa lulekhe ukhung'ararera one pakhuva nevombile umunu ukhuva inkafu pa sikhu ya Sabato?
If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?
24 Mulekhe okhokhega okhokongana nu luvonekho, bali khegaga khu ye lweli.
Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”
25 Pakhuva eyavene yikhuma khu Yerusalemu puvinchova, “Sio ve oyo ovevikhondonda ukhubuda?
Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?
26 Lola, vuinchova pavuvalafu, na savinchova khyokhyoni khumwene. Sayiwesekhana ukhuta avalongonchi valumanyile elweli ukhuta oyo ve Klisiti, yiwesya ukhuva?
Yet here He is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying anything to Him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?
27 Tulumanyile umunu oyo ikhomila ndakhu. Uklisiti voikhwincha, pakhuva evo asipali ovealumanyile ukhuyakha ikhoma.”
But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”
28 O Yesu akhatoja elimenyu elwa mwene khutembile, akhamanyisya nukhunchova, “Omwe mwe voni mumanyile one nukhunikhoma. Sanekhinche khu nafsi yango pakhuva aveasukhile vwali ne lweli, pu mumanyile omwene.
Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,
29 Nemanyile omwene pakhuva nekhumile khumwene veasukhile.”
but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”
30 Vakhagela okhomwibata, pakhuva akhasipali ata yumo uvakhagera ukhwinura ekhevokho khukyanya pakhuva akhasekhe khamwene khale bado sakhafikhe.
So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31 Hata evo, vingi mululundamano vakhamwedikhe. Vakhanchova, “Oklisiti alava ikhwincha, ayivomba imbombo nyingi khulikho inchavombile umunu oyo?”
Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”
32 Avafalisayo vakhapulekha avanya rurundamano vovivunguma imbombo incha Yesu, avavakha na valongonchi vavafalisayo vakhavasukha avanu khulikho mwibata.
When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.
33 Pu Yesu puakhanchovile, “Nele nakhasekhe khadebe nepupaninie numye, pongera puniluta khumwene uve asukhile.
So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.
34 Yamukhondonda samukhambone; ukhuyakha niluta.”
You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
35 Pu Avayahudi valekhonchovanchova, “Umunu oyo puayiluta ndakhu tulekhe okhupona? Ayiluta khu Vayevanikhe pagati pa Wayunani nukhuvamanyesya Avayunani?
At this, the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go that we will not find Him? Will He go where the Jews are dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 Limenyu likhi elya nehovile, 'Yamukhundonda samukhambone; okhuyakha niluta samukhawesye okhwincha'?”
What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”
37 Pu leno akhasekhe akhamwisyo, akhasekhe akhavakha akharonemelo, o Yesu akhima akhatoncha esavoti, akhanchova, inave vevoni alenekhyumila inche anywe.
On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
38 Omwene uvikhumwedekha, ndu vusimbe vovinchova, ukhukhuma igati mumwene yagikhwikha amagasi aga wumi.”
Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”
39 Pakhuva akhanchovile aga ukhukongana nu Mepo, avavi khumwedekha voni vamwopelile; Omepo ale bado sakhumenchiwe pakhuva o Yesu sakhinoliwe bado.
He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40 Pu ululundamana, vavile vapulikhe amamenyu aga, vakhanchova, “Lweli oyo venyamalago.”
On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”
41 Avange vakhanchova, “Oyo ve Klisiti.” Pu avange vakhanchova, “Khekhi, Klisiti iwesya ukhukhuma khu Galilaya?
Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?
42 Uvosimbe savunchovile ukhuta u Klisiti ukhuta Klisiti ayikhumele ekhekoro khya Daudi nukhukhuma khu Bethlehemu, ekhejiji ekhe alemo u Daudi?
Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”
43 Evo, pugukhakhumila ugavanye kho pagati parurundamano olwa Yesu.
So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.
44 Avange pagati pavene vakhale vikhomwibata, pakhuva akhasipali oyakhakhusinche ekhevokho khokyanya khumwene.
Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
45 Pu ava ofisa vakhavuya khuvavakha vavalongonchi Avafalisayo na vope vakhavavola, “Pu khekhi samundetile?”
Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”
46 Avaofisa vakhanda, “Asipali umunu ovagelile okhonchova nduyu kabla.”
“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.
47 Pu Avafalisayo vakhanda, “Nayumwe musanchiwe?
“Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.
48 Pukhwale vevoni muvalongonchi ovikhomwedekha, au vevoni Uvamafalisayo?
“Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?
49 Pakhuva avalulundamano avasalumanyile wrulagelo - vaberiwe.”
But this crowd that does not know the law, they are under a curse.”
50 O Nikodemo akhavavula (Omwene uviakhandundile o Yesu khatale, ale paninie na Vafarisayo),
Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,
51 “Je urulagero lweto lukhung'ega umunu pakhuva vikhopulekhencha tale nukhulumanya ekhivomba?”
“Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”
52 Vakhanda nu khumbura, “Na yuve vukhumela khu Galilaya? Olonde nulole ukhuta asipali onyamarago aveakhomile khu Galilaya.”
“Aren’t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”
53 Pu khela munu akhaluta khunyumba yamwene.
Then each went to his own home.
