< 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 these things Jesus continued to move about in Galilee, since He did not wish to move about in Judea because the Jews were wanting to kill Him.
2 Henu sikukuu jha Bhayahudi, sikukuu jha fibanda, jhajhele karibu.
Now the Jews' 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 His brothers said to Him: “Leave here and go up into Judea so your disciples also may see the works that you are doing,
4 Ajhelepi jha ibhomba lyolyoha kwa siri iwapo muene ilonda kumanyikana bhwasi. Iwapo ghwibhomba mambo agha, ghwilasiayi ghwimuene kwa bhalimwengu.”
because no one does anything in secret while he actually wants to be in evidence. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world!”
5 Hata bhalongomunu pia bhakyeli lepi.
For not even His brothers were believing into Him.
6 Ndipo Yesu akabhajobhela, “Bhwakati ghwa nene bhwakona, lakini wakati ghwa muenga khila mara bhujhe tayari.
So Jesus says to them: “My time is not here yet, but your time is always available.
7 Bhulimwengu bhwibhuesya lepi kubhadadila muenga, bali bhukanidadila nene kwa ndabha nikabhushuhudila kwa matendo ghake maovu.
The world cannot hate you, but does hate me, because I testify about it that its works are malignant.
8 Mukwelayi kulota ku sikukuu; nene nilotalepi ku sikukuu ejhe kwa ndabha muda gha nene bhukamilikilepi bado.”
You guys go up to this feast; I am not going up yet to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come.”
9 Baada jha kujobha mambo aghu kwa bhene, abakili Galilaya.
So upon saying these things to them He stayed on in Galilee.
10 Hata ivyo bhalongo munu bhalotili ku sikukuu, ndipo ni muene akalota, sio kwa wazi bali kwa siri.
Now when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He too went up, not openly but in secret like.
11 Bhayahudi bhakayabhakandonda ku sikukuu ni kujobha, “Ajhendaku?”
So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and saying, “Where is he?”
12 Kwajhele ni majadiliano mingi miongoni mwa makutano juu jha muene. Bhangi bhajobhili, “Munu n'nofu.” Bhangi bhakajobha, “Lepi, ikabhakofya makutano.”
And there was a lot of murmuring about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is good”; others were saying, “On the contrary, he's deceiving the people.”
13 Hata ivyo ajhelepi jha ajobhili bhukweli juu jha muene kwa kubhatila Bhayahudi.
However, no one was talking openly about Him for fear of the Jews.
14 Wakati sikukuu jhifikili pagati, Yesu akwelili kulota ku lihekalu ni kuyanda kumanyisya.
Now when the feast was already half over Jesus went up into the temple and started to teach.
15 Bhayahudi bhakaya bhisyangala ni kujobha, “Kibhuli munu ojho amanyili mambo ghamehele? Abhwayilepi kusoma hata.”
And the Jews were marveling saying, “How is this man learned, not having been educated?”
16 Yesu abhajibhili ni kubhajobhela, “Mafundisu gha nene ghanelepi, bali jha muene jha anilaghisi.
So Jesus answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but His 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 wants to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God or whether I am speaking 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.
Someone who speaks on his own is seeking his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
19 Musa abhapelili lepi muenga sheria? Lakini ajhelepi hata mmonga kati jha muenga jhaibhomba sheria. Kwa ndabha jhakiki mwilonda kunikoma?
“Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law! Why do you want to kill me?”
20 Makutano bhakajibu, “Ujhe ni pepo. Niani ilonda kukoma?”
The crowd answered and said, “You must have a demon! Who wants to kill you?”
21 Yesu akajibu ni kubhajobhela, “Nikhetili mbombo jhimonga, namu mwebhoka musyangesibhu kwa ndabha jha muene.
Jesus answered and said to them: “I did one work, and you all marvel.
22 Musa abapelili tohara (siyo kwamba jhihoma kwa Musa, bali jhela jhihoma kwa mababa), ni mu Sabato mukan'tahili munu.
Consider this: Moses gave you circumcision (not that it comes from Moses, but from the patriarchs), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
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 man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Law of Moses won't be broken, are you angry at me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?
24 Musihukumu kul'engana ni mwonekano, bali muhukumuajhi kwa haki.
Stop judging on the basis of appearances, but judge the righteous judgment.”
25 Baadhi jha bhene kuhoma Yerusalemu bhakajobha, “Ojho lepi jha bhikandonda kun'koma?
Now some of the Jerusalemites were saying: “Isn't this the man they are wanting 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 look! He is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to Him. Could it be true that the rulers know that this is really the Christ?
27 Tumanyili munu ojho ihomela ndaku. Kristu paibeta kuhida, ataivyo. ajhelepi jhaibetakumanya ndaku kwaihomela.”
On the other hand, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ comes nobody knows 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.
So Jesus called out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You do know me, and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own, but the One who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
29 Nimanyili muene kwa ndabha nihomili kwa muene na anilaghisi.”
I do 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 arrest Him, yet 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?”
Now many of the crowd were believing into Him, and they were saying, “Whenever the Christ comes He won't perform more signs than these which this man has done, will He?”
32 Mafarisayo bhapeliki makutano bhinong'onezana mambo agha kuhusu Yesu, ni bhabhaha bha makuhani ni Mafarisayo bhakatuma maafisa ili kunikamula.
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Him, so the Pharisees and the chief priests sent operatives to arrest Him.
33 Ndipo Yesu pajobhili, “Bado kujha ni muda kitambo ni jha pamonga namu, ni baadaye nibetakulota kwa muene jhaanilaghisi.
Then Jesus said: “For a little while I am still with you, and then I go to the One who sent me.
34 Mwibeta kunilonda wala mwibeta lepi kunibhona; khola kwanibeta kulota.”
You will look for me and not find me; also, 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?
So the Jews said among themselves: “Where does this fellow intend to go that we won't find him? He doesn't intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does he?
36 Litobhi leleku e'le lyaali jobhili, 'Mwibetakunilonda ni wala mwibetalepi kunibhona; khola kwa nilota mwibetalepi bhuesya kuhida'?”
What word is this that he spoke, ‘You will look for me and not find me’; also, ‘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.
Now on the last and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood up and called out saying: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
38 Muene jha akaniamini nene, kama maandiku kyaghajobhili, kuhoma mugati mwa muene jhibetakutiririka masi gha uzima.”
The one believing into me, just as the Scripture has said, out from his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.”
39 Lakini aghajibhili agha kuhusu Roho, ambajhe bhene bhakamwamini bhibetakumpokela; Roho ajhe akona kupisibhwa kwa ndabha Yesu ajhe akona kutukusibhwa.
(Now He said this about the Spirit, whom those believing into Him were going to receive, in that the Holy 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.”
So upon hearing this word many from the crowd began to say, “This One really is ‘the Prophet’!”
41 Bhamana bhajobhili, “Ojho ndo Kristu.” Lakini bhamana bhajobhili, “kiki, Kristu abhwesiajhi kuhoma Galilaya?
Others were saying, “This One is the Christ!” Others were saying: “Surely the Christ isn't coming out of Galilee, is He?
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 comes out of the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”
43 Hivyo pala ghwajhinuiki mgawanijo pagati pa makutano kwandabha jha muene.
So there developed a division in the crowd because of Him.
44 Bhamana kati jha bhene ngabhan'kamuili, lakini ajhelepi jha anyosisi mabhoko gha muene panani pa muene.
Further, some of them were wanting to arrest 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 operatives came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why haven't you brought him?”
46 Maofisa bhakajibu, “Ajhelepi munu jha abhwayili kulongela kama ojho kabla.”
The operatives answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
47 Ndipo Mafarisayo bhabhajibhili, “Ni muenga kabhele mupotosibhu?
So the Pharisees answered them: “You haven't been fooled too, have you?
48 Kujha ni jhejhioha kati jha bhatawala jhaikan'kiera, au jhejhioha bhwa Mafarisayo?
None of the rulers or the Pharisees have believed into him, have they?
49 Bali abha makutano bhabhamanyilepi sheria - bhalaanibhu.”
But this crowd that doesn't know the law is accursed!”
50 Nikodemo akabhajobhela (muene jhaandotili Yesu lukhombi, bho ajhe mmonga ghwa Mafarisayo),
Nicodemus (the one who came to Him at night, being one of them) says to them,
51 “Je sheria jha tete ikan'hukumu munu isipokujha ap'elekisibhu hoti ni kumanya kyaikheta?”
“Our law doesn't judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing, does it?”
52 Bhajibili ni kun'jobhela, “Ni bhebhe kabhele ghwihomela Galilaya? Londayi na ulotayi kwamba ajhelepi nabii jha ahomili Galilaya.”
They answered and said to him: “You aren't from Galilee too, are you? Search and see that no prophet has ever arisen out of Galilee.”
53 Kisha khila munu alotili kunyumba jha muene.
So each one went to his own house.
