Yoane 7
1 Sima na yango, Yesu atambolaki na mokili ya Galile, aboyaki kovanda na Yuda, pamba te Bayuda bazalaki koluka koboma Ye.
After these things Jesus walked about in Galilee: for He was not willing to walk about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.
2 Nzokande, feti ya Bandako ya kapo, feti ya Bayuda, ekomaki pene.
And the feast of the Jews, tabernacles, was nigh.
3 Bandeko ya Yesu balobaki na Ye: — Longwa awa na Galile mpe kende na Yuda, mpo ete bayekoli na Yo bamona kuna bikamwa oyo ozali kosala.
Then His brothers said to Him; Depart hence, and go into Judea; in order that thy disciples shall see thy works which thou art doing. For no one does anything in secret, and Himself seeks to be public.
4 Moto moko te asalaka na nkuku soki alingi koyebana. Lokola ozali kosala makambo minene koleka, sala ete moto nyonso kati na mokili ayeba soki ozali nani.
If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5 Pamba te, ezala bandeko ya Yesu, bango mpe bazalaki kondima Ye te.
For His brothers were not believing on Him.
6 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Tango na Ngai ekoki nanu te; kasi mpo na bino, tango nyonso ezali malamu.
Jesus says to them, My time is not yet; but your time is always ready.
7 Mokili ekoki koyina bino te; kasi Ngai, ezali koyina Ngai mpo ete natatolaka ete misala na yango ezali mabe.
The world is not able to hate you; but it hates me, because I testify against it, that its works are evil.
8 Bino, bokende na feti wana; kasi Ngai, nakokende te, pamba te tango na Ngai ekoki nanu te.
You go up to the feast: I do not go to this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled.
9 Sima na Ye koloba na bango bongo, atikalaki na Galile.
Saying these things He remained in Galilee.
10 Nzokande, tango bandeko na Ye bakendeki na feti, Ye mpe akendeki kuna, na komilakisa te, kasi na nkuku.
And when His brothers went up to the feast, then Himself also went up, not openly, but in secret.
11 Wana bazalaki kati na feti, Bayuda bazalaki koluka Ye mpe bazalaki kotuna-tuna: « Azali wapi? »
Then the Jews were seeking Him at the feast, and saying, Where is He?
12 Kati na bato, tembe ekomaki makasi na tina na Ye. Bamoko bazalaki koloba: Azali moto malamu; bamosusu: « Te, azali kokosa bato nyonso. »
And there was much murmuring in the crowd concerning Him: some indeed were saying, That He is good; others were saying, No, but He deceives the multitude.
13 Kasi, lokola bango nyonso bazalaki kobanga Bayuda, moto ata moko te akokaki koloba na bonsomi nyonso na tina na Yesu.
No one indeed was speaking openly concerning Him on account of the fear of the Jews.
14 Tango mikolo ya feti ekomaki na kati-kati, Yesu akendeki na Tempelo mpe akomaki koteya.
But the feast already being midway, Jesus came up into the temple, and was teaching.
15 Bayuda bakamwaki mpe bazalaki kotunana: — Ndenge nini moto oyo ayekola te akoki koyeba Makomi boye?
Then the Jews marveled, saying; How does this one know letters, never having been taught?
16 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Makambo oyo nazali koteya ewuti epai na Ngai te, kasi ewuti epai na Ye oyo atindi Ngai.
Then Jesus responded to them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but of Him that sent me;
17 Moto nyonso oyo azwi mokano ya kosala makambo oyo Nzambe alingaka, akososola soki mateya na Ngai ewuti na Nzambe to nazali koloba na ndenge na Ngai moko.
if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak for myself.
18 Moto oyo alobaka na kombo na ye moko alukaka lokumu na ye moko; kaka oyo azali koluka lokumu ya Nzambe oyo atindaki Ye nde azali koloba solo, mpe mabe ezali te kati na Ye.
He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: he that seeketh the glory of Him that sent Him, the same is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
19 Boni, Moyize apesaki bino mibeko te? Nzokande moko te kati na bino atosaka yango! Bongo mpo na nini bozali koluka koboma Ngai?
Did not Moses give you the law? and no one of you does the law. Why do you seek to kill me?
20 Bato kati na ngulupa bazongiselaki Yesu: — Ozali na molimo mabe. Nani azali koluka koboma yo?
And the multitude responded, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?
21 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Mpo na likamwisi moko oyo nasalaki, yango wana bino nyonso bokamwe!
Jesus responded and said to them, I did one work, and you were all astonished.
22 Bokanisa nanu: Moyize apesaki bino mitindo ya kokatisa ngenga, —mobeko yango ewutaki kutu na Moyize te, kasi na bakoko— mpe botosaka mitindo yango ata na mokolo ya Saba.
Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
23 Bongo soki bokataka bato ngenga na mokolo ya Saba, mpe yango ebukaka mobeko ya Moyize te, mpo na nini bozali kosilikela Ngai mpo ete nabikisi moto na mokolo ya Saba?
If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you mad at me, because I made a man entirely whole on the Sabbath?
24 Bosambisaka lisusu te kolanda oyo miso na bino ezali komona, kasi bokataka makambo na bosembo.
Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Na bongo, ndambo ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi bakomaki komituna: « Azali te moto oyo bazali koluka koboma?
Then certain ones of Jerusalemites were saying, Is not this He whom they wished to kill?
26 Tala, azali koloba na bonsomi nyonso, mpe bazali koloba na ye eloko moko te mpo na kotelemela ye! Boni, bokanisi ete bakonzi na biso bayebi ete azali penza Klisto?
And behold He speaks publicly, and they say nothing to Him. Whether do the rulers truly know that He is the Christ?
27 Kasi biso, toyebi epai moto oyo awuti; nzokande tango Klisto akoya, moto moko te akoyeba soki azali moto ya engumba nini! »
But we know Him whence He is: but when Christ may come, no one knows whence He is.
28 Kaka na tango yango, wana Yesu azalaki koteya kati na Tempelo, alobaki na mongongo makasi: — Solo, boyebi Ngai mpe boyebi epai nawuti! Nzokande, nayei na ndenge na Ngai moko te; ezali Ye oyo azali penza ya solo nde atindi Ngai, mpe bino, boyebi Ye te.
Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, You indeed know me, and know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but the one sending me is true, whom you do not know.
29 Ngai, nayebi Ye, pamba te nawuti epai na Ye, mpe ezali Ye nde atindi Ngai.
I know Him, because I am with Him, and He sent me.
30 Na bongo, balukaki kokanga Yesu, kasi moto ata moko te alongaki; pamba te tango na Ye ekokaki nanu te.
Then they were seeking to arrest Him: and no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31 Boye kati na bato, mingi bandimaki Ye; bazalaki koloba: — Boni, tango Klisto akoya, akosala bikamwa mingi koleka oyo moto oyo ozali kosala?
And many from the multitude believed on Him; and continued to say, When Christ may come, will He do more miracles than this one is doing?
32 Bafarizeo bayokaki makambo oyo bato bazalaki koloba na se se na tina na Yesu. Bongo bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo batindaki bakengeli ya Tempelo mpo na kokanga Yesu.
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him; and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers, that they should arrest Him.
33 Yesu alobaki: — Nazali nanu elongo na bino mpo na mwa tango moke, bongo nakozonga epai ya Ye oyo atindaki Ngai.
Then Jesus said, Yet a little while I am with you, and I go to Him that sent me.
34 Bokoluka Ngai, kasi bokomona Ngai te; mpe epai Ngai nakozala, bino, bokoki te koya kuna.
You will seek me, and will not find me: and where I am, you are not able to come.
35 Bayuda balobanaki bango na bango: — Asengeli kokende wapi mpo ete tomona ye lisusu te? Akokende epai ya Bayuda oyo bapalangana kati na Bagreki mpe koteya Bagreki?
Then the Jews said to themselves, Where is He about to go, that we shall not find Him? is He about to go into the Dispersion of the Greek, and teach the Greeks?
36 Alingi penza koloba nini tango azali koloba: « Bokoluka Ngai, kasi bokomona Ngai te; mpe epai Ngai nakozala, bino, bokoki te koya kuna? »
What is this word which He said, You shall seek me, and not find me: and where I am, you are not able to come?
37 Na mokolo ya suka ya feti, mokolo oyo eleki monene, Yesu atelemaki mpe alobaki na mongongo makasi: — Tika ete moto nyonso oyo azali na posa ya mayi aya epai na Ngai mpe amela.
And on the last great day of the feast, Jesus stood and continued to cry out, saying, If any one thirst, let him come and drink.
38 Moto oyo akondima Ngai, kolanda ndenge Makomi elobi, bibale ya mayi ya bomoi ekotiola wuta kati na ye.
The one believing on me, as the Scripture said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.
39 Yesu alobaki bongo na tina na Molimo oyo bato oyo bakotia kondima na bango kati na Ye bakozwa; mpo ete na tango wana, Molimo apesamaki nanu te, pamba te Yesu akotaki nanu te kati na nkembo na Ye.
And He spoke this concerning the Spirit, whom those believing on Him were about to receive: for the Spirit was not yet; because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Kati na bato oyo bayokaki maloba na Ye, bamoko bazalaki koloba: « Moto oyo azali penza Mosakoli, »
Then those hearing these words from the multitude, were saying, This is truly the prophet;
41 bamosusu: « Azali Klisto, » kasi bamosusu lisusu: « Boni, Klisto akoki kobimela na Galile?
others were saying, He is the Christ; others were saying, For whether does Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Boni, Makomi ezali koloba te ete Klisto akobimela na libota ya Davidi mpe akobotama na Beteleemi, mboka ya Davidi? »
Did not the Scripture say, that Christ comes from the seed of David and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 Ezali bongo nde bato bakabwanaki na tina na Yesu.
Then there was a schism in the crowd on account of Him:
44 Bamosusu kati na bango balukaki kokanga Ye, kasi moto ata moko te alongaki.
and some of them wished to arrest Him; but no one laid hands on Him.
45 Bakengeli ya Tempelo bazongaki epai ya bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo. Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo batunaki bakengeli: — Mpo na nini bomemi Yesu awa te?
Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why did you not bring Him?
46 Bakengeli bazongisaki: — Ezali na moto ata moko te oyo asila koloba makambo oyo moto wana azali koloba.
The officers responded, Never did a man so speak, as this man speaks.
47 Bafarizeo batunaki lisusu: — Bino mpe bomitiki penza mpo ete akosa bino?
And the Pharisees responded to them; Are ye also deceived?
48 Boni, kati na bakonzi to kati na Bafarizeo, ezali ata na moko oyo andimi ye?
Whether has any one of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on Him?
49 Ezali kaka bato oyo bayebi mibeko ya Moyize te, bazali penza bato balakelama mabe!
But this crowd knowing not the law are accursed.
50 Kasi moko kati na bango, Nikodemi, oyo, mokolo moko, akendeki epai ya Yesu, alobaki:
Nicodemus being one of them, says to them;
51 — Boni, mibeko na biso ekoki kokatela moto etumbu na kozanga koyoka ye liboso, mpe na kozanga koyeba mabe oyo asili kosala?
Whether does our law judge a man, until it may first hear from him and know what he does?
52 Bazongiselaki ye: — Boni, yo mpe ozali moto ya Galile? Kundola malamu Makomi, mpe okomona penza ete mosakoli moko te abimela na Galile. [
They responded and said to him, Whither art thou also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet rises out of Galilee.
53 Na bongo, moko na moko azongaki na ndako na ye.
