Yokaana 8
1 Awo Yesu n’alaga ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni.
2 Ku makya ennyo n’akomawo mu Yeekaalu, abantu bonna ne bajja gy’ali, n’atuula n’abayigiriza.
3 Awo abannyonnyozi b’amateeka n’Abafalisaayo ne baleeta omukazi gwe baakwata ng’ayenda, ne bamuteeka wakati mu maaso g’ekibiina.
4 Ne bagamba Yesu nti, “Omuyigiriza, omukazi ono akwatibbwa ng’ayenda.
5 Amateeka Musa ge yatulagira gagamba kubakuba mayinja abali ng’ono. Noolwekyo ggwe ogamba otya ku nsonga eyo?”
6 Ekyo baakyogera nga bamugezesa, bafune kye banaasinziirako okumuwawaabira. Naye Yesu n’akutama n’awandiika ku ttaka n’olunwe.
7 Bwe beeyongera okumubuuza, n’akutaamulukuka, n’agamba nti, “Mu mmwe atayonoonangako y’aba asooka okumukuba ejjinja.”
8 N’addamu okukutama, era n’awandiika ku ttaka n’olunwe.
9 Bwe baawulira ebyo, ne baseebulukuka kinnoomu, abasinga obukulu nga be basoose, okutuusa Yesu n’omukazi bwe baasigalawo bokka mu maaso g’ekibiina.
10 Awo Yesu n’akutaamulukuka ate, n’abuuza omukazi nti, “Abakuwawaabira baluwa?”
11 Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama wange, tewali n’omu.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Nange sikusalira musango kukusinga. Genda, naye toddangayo okwonoona.”
12 Awo Yesu n’ayongera okwogera n’ekibiina, n’agamba nti, “Nze Musana gw’ensi. Angoberera taatambulirenga mu kizikiza, wabula anaabeeranga n’omusana ogw’obulamu.”
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world: the one following me can not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of the life.
13 Abafalisaayo ne bamugamba nti, “Weeyogerako naye by’oyogera bya bulimba.”
Then the Pharisees said to Him, Thou art testifying concerning thyself; Thy testimony is not true. And Jesus responded and said to them,
14 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Newaakubadde neeyogerako, bye njogera bituufu, kubanga mmanyi gye nava ne gye ndaga. Naye mmwe temumanyi gye nva wadde gye ndaga.
If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go. You know not whence I come, or whither I go.
15 Mmwe musala omusango ng’abantu obuntu. Nze siriiko gwe nsalira musango.
You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
16 Naye singa mbadde nsala omusango, ensala yange ya mazima, kubanga siri nzekka, naye ndi ne Kitange eyantuma.
If I judge, my judgment is true; because I am not alone, but I and the One having sent me.
17 Amateeka gammwe gagamba nti ssinga abajulirwa babiri bakkiriziganya ku kintu, obujulirwa bwabwe buba bwa mazima.
And it has been written in our law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Kale Nze nneyogerako era n’oyo eyantuma ategeeza ebyange.”
I am the one testifying concerning myself, and the Father having sent me, testifies concerning me.
19 Awo ne bamubuuza nti, “Kitaawo ali ludda wa?” Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Nze temuntegeera ne Kitange temumutegeera. Singa muntegeera ne Kitange mwandimutegedde.”
Then they said to Him, Where is thy Father? Jesus responded; You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would also know my Father.
20 Ebigambo ebyo Yesu yabyogerera mu kifo omuteekebwa ebirabo, bwe yali ng’ayigiriza mu Yeekaalu. Naye ne wataba amukwata, kubanga ekiseera kye kyali tekinnatuuka.
He spoke these words in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no one arrested Him; because His hour had not yet come.
21 Awo Yesu ne yeeyongera, n’abagamba nate nti, “Nze ŋŋenda, mulinnoonya, naye mulifiira mu bibi byammwe. Gye ŋŋenda mmwe temuyinza kujjayo.”
Then He again said to them, I go away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin: whither I go you are not able to come.
22 Awo Abayudaaya ne bagamba nti, “Agenda kwetta kyava agamba nti, ‘Nze gye ndaga, mmwe temuyinza kujjayo?’”
Then the Jews were saying, Whether will He kill Himself, because He says, Whither I go away, you are not able to come?
23 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe muli ba ku nsi, naye Nze ndi wa mu ggulu. Mmwe muli ba ku nsi kuno, Nze siri wa ku nsi kuno.
And He said to them, You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Kyenvudde mbagamba nti mulifiira mu bibi byammwe, kubanga bwe mutakkiriza nti nze wuuyo, Omwana wa Katonda, mulifiira mu bibi byammwe.”
Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you may not believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins.
25 Ne bamubuuza nti, “Ggwe ani?” Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Lwaki mbategeeza?
Then they said to Him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Even that which I also speak to you from the beginning.
26 Nnina bingi eby’okuboogerako n’okubasalira omusango okubasinga, kyokka eyantuma wa mazima, era ebyo bye nawulira okuva gy’ali bye ntegeeza ensi.”
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you; but the One having sent me is true; those things which I heard with Him, these I speak to the world.
27 Kyokka tebaategeera Kitaawe gw’ayogerako.
They did not know that He spoke to them concerning the Father.
28 Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Bwe mulimala okuwanika Omwana w’Omuntu ne mulyoka mutegeera nti nze wuuyo, era siriiko kye nkola ku bwange, naye njogera ebyo Kitange bye yanjigiriza.
Then Jesus said, When you may lift up the Son of man, then you shall know that I am He, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me, I speak the same things.
29 Era oyo eyantuma ali nange, tandekanga bw’omu, kubanga bulijjo nkola by’ayagala.”
Truly the One having sent me is with me; He has not left me alone; because I always do those things which are pleasing to Him.
30 Yesu bwe yayogera ebigambo ebyo bangi ne bamukkiriza.
He speaking these things, many believed on Him.
31 Awo Yesu n’agamba Abayudaaya abaamukkiriza nti, “Bwe munywerera ku kigambo kyange muba bayigirizwa bange ddala.
Then Jesus said to the Jews, who believed on Him, If you may abide in my word, you are truly my disciples;
32 Era mulitegeera amazima, n’amazima galibafuula ba ddembe.”
and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ffe tuli bazzukulu ba Ibulayimu, tetubangako baddu ba muntu n’omu. Oyinza otya okugamba nti, ‘Mulifuuka ba ddembe?’”
They responded to Him, we are the seed of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one: How do You say, that you shall be free?
34 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti buli akola ekibi aba muddu wa kibi.
Jesus responded to them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, That every one doing sin is the slave of sin.
But the slave abides not in the house forever; the Son abides forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Kale, Omwana bw’alibafuula ab’eddembe, mulibeerera ddala ba ddembe.
If therefore the Son may make you free, you shall be free indeed.
37 Weewaawo ntegeera nga muli bazzukulu ba Ibulayimu, naye ate abamu ku mmwe musala amagezi okunzita, kubanga ekigambo kyange temukikkiriza.
I know ye are the seed of Abraham; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
38 Nze mbategeeza ebyo Kitange bye yandaga, nammwe mukola ebyo kitammwe bye yababuulira.”
Whatsoever I have seen with the Father I speak: you therefore are doing the things which you heard with your father.
39 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Kitaffe ye Ibulayimu.” Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Singa mubadde baana ba Ibulayimu mwandikoze ebyo Ibulayimu bye yakola.
They responded and said to Him, Abraham is our Father. Jesus says to them, If you were the children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham.
40 Naye kaakano, Nze ababuulidde ebyo byennyini bye nawulira okuva eri Katonda musala amagezi okunzita. Ekifaanana ng’ekyo Ibulayimu teyakikola.
But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard with God: Abraham did not this.
41 Mukola emirimu gya kitammwe.” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ffe tetwazaalibwa mu bwenzi, Kitaffe gwe tulina ali omu, ye Katonda.”
You are doing the works of your father. They said to Him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, God.
42 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Singa Katonda ye Kitammwe mwandinjagadde, kubanga nava gy’ali okujja gye muli, sajja ku bwange wabula ye yantuma.
Jesus said to them; If God were your Father, you would love me: for I came out from God, and I return; for I have not spoken from myself, but He sent me.
43 Lwaki temutegeera bye njogera? Kubanga temwagala kuwulira bigambo byange.
Wherefore do you not understand my speech? Because you are not able to hear my word.
44 Kubanga Setaani ye kitammwe era nammwe mwagala okukola ebyo kitammwe by’ayagala. Okuva ku lubereberye mutemu era tanywerera mu mazima, era mu ye temuli mazima. Bw’ayogera eby’obulimba ayogera ebiva mu bibye, kubanga mulimba era kitaawe w’abalimba.
You are of your father the devil, and you wish to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, because there was no truth in him. When he may speak a lie, he speaks of his own: because he is a liar, and the father of the same.
45 Naye kubanga njogera mazima kyemuva mutanzikiriza.
And because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Ani mu mmwe annumiriza ekibi? Bwe njogera amazima, kiki ekibagaana okunzikiriza?
Which one of you convicts me concerning sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Buli muntu wa Katonda awulira ebigambo bya Katonda. Naye mmwe temuwulira kubanga temuli ba Katonda.”
The one being of God hears the words of God: on account of this you do not hear, because you are not of God.
48 Awo Abayudaaya ne baddamu Yesu nti, “Tetuli batuufu okugamba nti oli Musamaliya, era oliko dayimooni?”
The Jews responded and said to Him, Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
49 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Nze siriiko dayimooni, naye nzisaamu Kitange ekitiibwa naye mmwe temunzisaamu kitiibwa.
Jesus responded, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 Naye Nze sinoonya kussibwamu kitiibwa, waliwo omu ye akisaanira era y’alamula.
But I do not seek my own glory: there is One seeking and judging.
51 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Buli anywerera ku kigambo kyange talifa emirembe n’emirembe.” (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I say unto you, if any one may keep my word, he may never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Awo Abayudaaya ne bamuddamu nti, “Kaakano tutegeeredde ddala nti oliko dayimooni. Ibulayimu yafa era ne bannabbi baafa, ate ggwe ogamba nti, ‘Buli anywerera ku kigambo kyange talifa emirembe n’emirembe.’ (aiōn g165)
The Jews said to Him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham and the prophets are dead; and thou sayest, If any one may keep my word, he may never taste death. (aiōn g165)
53 Ggwe mukulu okukira jjajjaffe Ibulayimu eyafa? Bannabbi nabo baafa. Ggwe weeyita ani?”
Whether art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom do you make yourself?
54 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Singa Nze neegulumiza okwegulumiza kwange tekubaamu nsa, angulumiza ye Kitange mmwe gwe muyita Katonda wammwe,
Jesus responded, If I may glorify myself, my glory is nothing: my Father is the one glorifying me; whom you say, that, He is our God;
55 mmwe temumumanyi. Nze mmumanyi. Bwe ŋŋamba nti simumanyi mba mulimba nga mmwe bwe muli. Nze mmumanyi era n’ekigambo kye nkikuuma.
indeed you do not know Him: but I know Him. If I may say, I know Him not, I will be a liar like you: but I know Him, and I keep His word.
56 Kitammwe Ibulayimu yasanyuka okulaba olunaku lwange. Yamanya nti nzija era ne kimusanyusa.”
Abraham, our father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it, and was glad.
57 Abayudaaya ne bamugamba nti, “Tonnaweza na myaka amakumi ataano egy’obukulu n’ogamba nti walaba Ibulayimu?”
Then the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?
58 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti Ibulayimu yali tannabaawo, Nze nga wendi.”
Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Awo ne bakwata amayinja okumukuba, kyokka Yesu ne yeekweka n’afuluma mu Yeekaalu.
Then they took up stones that they might cast at Him: and Jesus was hidden, and departed out from the temple.
