< Yohana 7 >

1 Ni baada jha mambo agha Yesu asafiri na ku Galialaya kwa ndabha alondelepi kulota Bhuyahudi kwa ndabha bhayahudi bhabhombeghe mipango ghya kun'koma.
After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.
2 Henu sikukuu jha Bhayahudi, sikukuu jha fibanda, jhajhele karibu.
However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.
3 Ndipo bhalongomunu bhan'jobhili, “Bhokayi mahali apa ulotayi ku Bhuyahudi, ili kwamba bhanafunzi bha jhobhi khelakhela bhaghabhonayi matendo ghaghwifuanya.
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 Ajhelepi jha ibhomba lyolyoha kwa siri iwapo muene ilonda kumanyikana bhwasi. Iwapo ghwibhomba mambo agha, ghwilasiayi ghwimuene kwa bhalimwengu.”
For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”
5 Hata bhalongomunu pia bhakyeli lepi.
For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.
6 Ndipo Yesu akabhajobhela, “Bhwakati ghwa nene bhwakona, lakini wakati ghwa muenga khila mara bhujhe tayari.
Therefore Jesus told them, “Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.
7 Bhulimwengu bhwibhuesya lepi kubhadadila muenga, bali bhukanidadila nene kwa ndabha nikabhushuhudila kwa matendo ghake maovu.
The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.
8 Mukwelayi kulota ku sikukuu; nene nilotalepi ku sikukuu ejhe kwa ndabha muda gha nene bhukamilikilepi 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 Baada jha kujobha mambo aghu kwa bhene, abakili Galilaya.
Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.
10 Hata ivyo bhalongo munu bhalotili ku sikukuu, ndipo ni muene akalota, sio kwa wazi bali kwa siri.
But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.
11 Bhayahudi bhakayabhakandonda ku sikukuu ni kujobha, “Ajhendaku?”
So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”
12 Kwajhele ni majadiliano mingi miongoni mwa makutano juu jha muene. Bhangi bhajobhili, “Munu n'nofu.” Bhangi bhakajobha, “Lepi, ikabhakofya makutano.”
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 ivyo ajhelepi jha ajobhili bhukweli juu jha muene kwa kubhatila Bhayahudi.
Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.
14 Wakati sikukuu jhifikili pagati, Yesu akwelili kulota ku lihekalu ni kuyanda kumanyisya.
About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.
15 Bhayahudi bhakaya bhisyangala ni kujobha, “Kibhuli munu ojho amanyili mambo ghamehele? Abhwayilepi kusoma hata.”
The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”
16 Yesu abhajibhili ni kubhajobhela, “Mafundisu gha nene ghanelepi, bali jha muene jha anilaghisi.
“My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.
17 Ikajhelayi jhejhioha jhaibeta kubhomba mapenzi gha muene, ibetakumanya kuhusu mafundisu agha kama ghihomela kwa K'yara, au kama nilongela kuhomela kwa nene ne muene.
If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.
18 Khila ghailongela ghihoma kwa muene ghilonda utukufu bhwa muene jhaanilaghisi, munu ojhu ghwa bhukweli, ni mugati mwa muene kujhelepi kutokubhomba haki.
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 Musa abhapelili lepi muenga sheria? Lakini ajhelepi hata mmonga kati jha muenga jhaibhomba sheria. Kwa ndabha jhakiki mwilonda kunikoma?
Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”
20 Makutano bhakajibu, “Ujhe ni pepo. Niani ilonda kukoma?”
“You have a demon,” the crowd replied. “Who is trying to kill You?”
21 Yesu akajibu ni kubhajobhela, “Nikhetili mbombo jhimonga, namu mwebhoka musyangesibhu kwa ndabha jha muene.
Jesus answered them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.
22 Musa abapelili tohara (siyo kwamba jhihoma kwa Musa, bali jhela jhihoma kwa mababa), ni mu Sabato mukan'tahili munu.
But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)
23 Ikajhelayi munu ibetakupokela tohara mu ligono lya Sabato ili kwamba sheria jha Musa isivunjibhu, kwandajhakiki mkanidadila nene kwa ndabha nimponyisi munu ligono lya 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 Musihukumu kul'engana ni mwonekano, bali muhukumuajhi kwa haki.
Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”
25 Baadhi jha bhene kuhoma Yerusalemu bhakajobha, “Ojho lepi jha bhikandonda kun'koma?
Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?
26 Na langayi ilongela waziwazi, na bhijobhalepi kyokyoha juu jha muene. Jhibhwesya lepi kujha bhalongosi bhamanyili kueli kujha ojho ndo Kristu, jhibhwesya kujha?
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 Tumanyili munu ojho ihomela ndaku. Kristu paibeta kuhida, ataivyo. ajhelepi jhaibetakumanya ndaku kwaihomela.”
But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”
28 Yesu ajhele ikwesya sauti jha muene mu lihekalu ifundisya ni kujobha, “Muenga mwebhoha munimanyili nene na mumanyili kwa nihomela. Nahidilepi kwa nafsi jha nene, bali muene jhaanilaghisi ni ghwa bhukweli, na mumanyilepi muene.
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 Nimanyili muene kwa ndabha nihomili kwa muene na anilaghisi.”
but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”
30 Bhajaribueghe kun'teemula, lakini ajhelepi hata mmonga jha ajhinuleghe kibhoko kya muene panani pa muene kwa ndandabha jha saa jha muene jhajhele bado jhifikili lepi.
So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31 Hata hivyo, bhingi mu makutano bhamwamini. Bhajobhili, “Kristu paibetakuhida, ibetakukheta ishara simehele kuliko sya abhombili munu ojho?”
Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”
32 Mafarisayo bhapeliki makutano bhinong'onezana mambo agha kuhusu Yesu, ni bhabhaha bha makuhani ni Mafarisayo bhakatuma maafisa ili kunikamula.
When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.
33 Ndipo Yesu pajobhili, “Bado kujha ni muda kitambo ni jha pamonga namu, ni baadaye nibetakulota kwa muene jhaanilaghisi.
So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.
34 Mwibeta kunilonda wala mwibeta lepi kunibhona; khola kwanibeta kulota.”
You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
35 Kwahiyo Bhayahudi bhakajobhesana bhene kwa bhene, “Munu ojho ibetakulota ndaku kwamba tusibhwesi kumbona? Ibetakulota kwa bhabhatawanyiki kati jha Bhayunani ni kubhafundisya Bhayunani?
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 Litobhi leleku e'le lyaali jobhili, 'Mwibetakunilonda ni wala mwibetalepi kunibhona; khola kwa nilota mwibetalepi bhuesya kuhida'?”
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 Henu ligono lya mwishu, ligono libhaha lya sikukuu, Yesu akajhema akakuesya sauti, akajobha, “Ikajhiajhi jhejhioha ajhe ni kiu, na ahidayi kwa nene anyuajhi.
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 Muene jha akaniamini nene, kama maandiku kyaghajobhili, kuhoma mugati mwa muene jhibetakutiririka masi gha uzima.”
Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”
39 Lakini aghajibhili agha kuhusu Roho, ambajhe bhene bhakamwamini bhibetakumpokela; Roho ajhe akona kupisibhwa kwa ndabha Yesu ajhe akona kutukusibhwa.
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 Baadhi jha makutano, bho bhap'eliki malobhi agha bhajobhili, “Kweli ojho ndo nabii.”
On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”
41 Bhamana bhajobhili, “Ojho ndo Kristu.” Lakini bhamana bhajobhili, “kiki, Kristu abhwesiajhi kuhoma Galilaya?
Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?
42 Maandiku ghajobhi lepi kujha Kristu ibeta kuhomela mu lukhoto kwa Daudi ni kuhoma Bethlehemu, kijiji ambakyo Daudi ajhele?
Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”
43 Hivyo pala ghwajhinuiki mgawanijo pagati pa makutano kwandabha jha muene.
So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.
44 Bhamana kati jha bhene ngabhan'kamuili, lakini ajhelepi jha anyosisi mabhoko gha muene panani pa muene.
Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
45 Ndipo bhala maofisa bhakakerebhuka kwa bhabhaha bha makuhani ni Mafarisayo, na bhene bhakajobhela, “Kwandajhakiki mundetili lepi?”
Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”
46 Maofisa bhakajibu, “Ajhelepi munu jha abhwayili kulongela kama ojho kabla.”
“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.
47 Ndipo Mafarisayo bhabhajibhili, “Ni muenga kabhele mupotosibhu?
“Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.
48 Kujha ni jhejhioha kati jha bhatawala jhaikan'kiera, au jhejhioha bhwa Mafarisayo?
“Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?
49 Bali abha makutano bhabhamanyilepi sheria - bhalaanibhu.”
But this crowd that does not know the law, they are under a curse.”
50 Nikodemo akabhajobhela (muene jhaandotili Yesu lukhombi, bho ajhe mmonga ghwa Mafarisayo),
Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,
51 “Je sheria jha tete ikan'hukumu munu isipokujha ap'elekisibhu hoti ni kumanya kyaikheta?”
“Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”
52 Bhajibili ni kun'jobhela, “Ni bhebhe kabhele ghwihomela Galilaya? Londayi na ulotayi kwamba ajhelepi nabii jha ahomili Galilaya.”
“Aren’t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”
53 Kisha khila munu alotili kunyumba jha muene.
Then each went to his own home.
