Yohana 8
1 Unkoludeva alutile pakhewamba khyo Mizeituni.
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Akhalava panavosihu akhincha khutembile na vanu voni vahandotela; akhatana nukhuva manyesya.
Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them.
3 Usimbi avandisi usimbaji va Mafalisayo vakhatwalela udada uyibatiwe khumbombo ya voligu vakhambeha pagati.
The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them
4 Povakhambola u Yesu, “Umanyesi, udala uyu ibatiwe huvuligu, ikhohevomba elyeli.
and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5 Leno, hulu lulagelo, u Musa atuvulile alile tuvapondange amawe avanu ndava, wita ndakhehi khumwene?
In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”
6 Vakhanchovile aga ukhugela leno vapate enjela ya khung'ega, u Yesu akhinama pasi akhasimba pakhelonga khuhedole khyamwene.
They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.
7 Vavile vendelile uhumbuncha, akhema nokhuvavola, “Uyunchila mbivi avevakhwancha ukhutaviwa amawe.”
When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
8 Akhinama tena pasi, akhandikha khuhedole khya mwene.
And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
9 Vavapidikhe ago, akhahega yumo bada ya yumo, ukhyanjela ugogole. Humwisyo u Yesu vakhandeha mwene, nu dala uyuvavile pagati pavene.
When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.
10 U Yesu akhima nuhuvavola, “Un'dala, avahuhekile valindahu? Asipali khata yumo uyahuhegile?”
Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”
11 Akhan'chova, “Asikholi khata yumo Itwa.” U Yesu akhanchova, “Ate une sanikhohohega lutaga injela yaho; ukhuma lene nukhwendelela usite uvombe imbivi.”
“No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”
12 U Yesu anchava na vanu akhata, “Unene nene lumuli lwa n'gelunga; Yuywa ihofyata sigenda muhisi poiva nulumuli ulwa womi.”
Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13 Avamafalisayo vahambola, wihesuhudela yuve; uvosuhuda wakho sio wayelweli.”
So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”
14 U Yesu akhajbu akhavavola, “Ndaneve nikhesuhudela yune, nekhumanyile ukhunehomile nuhuniluta, ulwa khova umwe samukhumanyile uponikhoma nakhohwa nilota.
Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because 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 Umwe mwikhega umbele, unesanikhega yeyoni.
You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
16 Une ndanekhege, uwakhegi wango wayelweli ulwa khova sanelenemwene, ulwa khova tulenu baba uya suhile.
But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.
17 Ilweli, nululagelo lwenyo lusimbiwe uhuta uvosuhuda wa vanu vavele wilweli.
Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.
18 Une nene nikhesuhudela wa vanu vavele wolweli.”
I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”
19 Vakhambola, “Uwiso vaho alendahu?” U Yesu ukhanda, “umwesamumanjile oda ubaba vango samumumanyile; muamuvinchage mumanyile une, ndani mumanyile ubaba vango.”
“Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.”
20 Akhanchovile amamenyu aga akhavilejilani ne hazina ahavile imanyesya pa tembile, akhasipali khata yumo uyamwibite ulwakhova usekhe gwa mwene ngovile bado san'gofihe.
He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts, near the treasury. Yet no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
21 Akhavavola hange, “Niluta inchango; yamukhondonda nayamwifwa mumbivi ngenyo. Uhuniluta, samukhawesye uhwincha.”
Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
22 Avayahudi vakhachova, “Ihebuda yuywa, yuywa ahachovile, 'Ukhuniluta samuhawesye uhwincha'?”
So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
23 U Yesu ahannchova, “Mhuma pasi; une nihuma hukyanya. Umwe mlevakelunga ekhei une sio nelevangelunga ekhe.
Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Ulwahova, nawavolile uhuta mwifwa ni mbivi nchenye. La sivyo munyamini uhuta UNENE NENE, mwifya musambi nchenyo.”
That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
25 Po wakhambula, “Uwe veve veni?” Yesu akhavavola, aganevavolile ukhuhuma khuvutengolelo.
“Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
26 Nelena mambo mingi agakhanchova nuvukhegi hulwomwe. Ata eve, uyasuhile vayelyeli; na mambo aganepolihe ukhuhuma khumwene, amambo aganinchova khuvakelunga.”
“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”
27 Savahamveliwe uhuta alenkonchova ukhuhusu Udada.
They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.
28 U Yesu akhachova, “Upoyaheva mukhomwinula umwana va munu, poyamuhumanya ukhuta nene, nuhuta sanivomba lyo lyoni khunafisi yange.
So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.
29 Ulyahovo udada afundisye, ninchava amambo aga. Yuywa asuhile alepopaninye nane, nu mwene sandehile nemwene, ulyahuva khela isekhe nivamba agaganeliwa.”
He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”
30 U Yesu woichova amambo aga, vingi va khamwedihe.
As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
31 U Yesu akhachova uvayahudi avamwedikhe, “Munganogwe ndimenyu lyango, pomwiva vasyole vango elweli,
So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
32 numwe muhuyemanya elweli, yihuvaveha hulu.” Vakhanda,
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 “Ufye tulevaholiva va Ibrahimu nasatugele tuve pasi ya wotumwa wayeyoni, “Twiva hulu?”
“We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
34 U Yesu akhanda, “Lweli, lweli, ukhuta, yuywa ivamba imbivi iva itimwa va mbivi.
Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son belongs to it forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Ulwahova, umwana ikhovaveha hulu, mwiva hulu elweli.”
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 Nelumanyile uhuta umwe mlevaholiwa va Ibrahimu; Mulunda ukhumbuda ulwahova elimenyu lyango lesimoli lelevovole enafasi ingati ndimwe.
I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.
38 Ninchova amamba gago negawene nu dada vango, nayomwe velevote muvamba amambo agamupolihe uhuhuma khwa dada venyo.”
I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
39 Vakhanda nuhuvavola, “Udada veto ve Ibrahimu.” U Yesu akhanda, mwamuvinchage vana va Ibrahimu, muhamuvumbaga imbombo ncha Ibrahimu.
“Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.
40 Ata leno mulonda uhumbuda, umunu uya vavolile uvolyeli uhuta akhapolikhe uhuhuma khwa Nguluve. Uabrahamu sahavombe evo.
But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.
41 Mvombe imbombo ncha Dada venyo.” Vahambola, “Satuhoheliwe mboligu, tuleno Dada yomo, Unguluve.”
You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
42 U Yesu ahavavola, “Ingave Unguluve vedada venyo, mhale muhongana une, ulwahova nchomile khwa Nguluve; sanchinche hunafsi yango, umwene vyahasuhile.
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.
43 Hekhi samuhugeliwa amamenyu gango? Ulwahova samuhawesye uhufamelela uhugapoleha amamenyu gango.
Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.
44 Umwe malevadada venyo, utavangwa, namwinogwa uhuvomba uvonogwe wadada venyo. Ahavile ibadi uhuhima hwutengolelelo nasahawesye uhwema huvoyelweli ulwahova uwoyelweli vosimoli igati mumwene. Uluichova uvadesi lohova uhuhuma huasili yamwene ulwahova idesi nubabaye idesi.
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 Hata leno, ninchova yeyo yelweli, samuhonyamini (samuhunyedeha).
But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!
46 Veni kati yenyo iyihoshuhudele uhuta nele ni mbivi? Ingava nichova uvolweli, mbana samuhonyedeha?
Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?
47 Uyalenu Nguluve ipoleha amamenyu ga Nguluve; umwe sampoleha ulyahuva samleva Nguluve.”
Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
48 Avayahudi vahanda nohumbula, satunchovile uvolweli uhuta uveve ulesamalia nole no mepo?”
The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”
49 U Yesu ahanda, nilivovole ilipepo ulwahuva nihumwesimu udada vango, numwe samuhonyesimu.
“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
50 Sanilonda ulyonginyo lwango; khwale yomo iyilonda nuhuhega.
I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.
51 Nihovavola, nihovavola, uhuta, uyaheva yeyoni iholibata elimenyu lyango, sihuvovona uvofya habisa.” (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I tell you, if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death.” (aiōn g165)
52 Avayahudi vahambola, “Leno tulumanyile uhita ulenelipepo. U Abrahamu na vanyamalaga vahafwile; ulwahuva winchova, 'Ingave umunu ihulipata ilimenyu lyango, sihovova uvofye'. (aiōn g165)
“Now we know that You have a demon!” declared the Jews. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet You say that anyone who keeps Your word will never taste death. (aiōn g165)
53 Uveve sidembaho luliko udada veto Abrahamu uyafyule, avanyamalago vope vafyile. Uwe powihefyanya veve veni?”
Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?”
54 U Yesu akhanda, “Nengave nihetoja yune, khwetoja hwango hwa vovole; u Dada vango valionoja - yuywa muhunchova uhuta ve Nguluve venyo.
Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The One who glorifies Me is My Father, of whom you say ‘He is our God.’
55 Umwe samumanyile umwene, une nemanyile umwene. Nengave nichova, 'sanemanyile,' niva kama umwe, vadesi. Ata leno, nelumanyile namamenyu gamwene negibite.
You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.
56 Udada venyo u Abrahamu ayihovaha yaheva ihoyevona isihu yango; ahayawene ahahovaha.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.”
57 Avayahudi vahambula, “Sofihinche ulimuli wa miaha hamsini bado, nuve umbwene u Ibrahimu?”
Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
58 U Yesu ahambola, “Nihovavola, nihovavola, nichova, tangu U Abrahamu saholiwe, UNE HUNELE.”
“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
59 Povahahola amawe vanje uhutova, po u Yesu ahefiha nahahoma hunji hutembile.
At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.
