Yokaana 8
1 Awo Yesu n’alaga ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni.
Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 Ku makya ennyo n’akomawo mu Yeekaalu, abantu bonna ne bajja gy’ali, n’atuula n’abayigiriza.
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 Awo abannyonnyozi b’amateeka n’Abafalisaayo ne baleeta omukazi gwe baakwata ng’ayenda, ne bamuteeka wakati mu maaso g’ekibiina.
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 Ne bagamba Yesu nti, “Omuyigiriza, omukazi ono akwatibbwa ng’ayenda.
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Amateeka Musa ge yatulagira gagamba kubakuba mayinja abali ng’ono. Noolwekyo ggwe ogamba otya ku nsonga eyo?”
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 Ekyo baakyogera nga bamugezesa, bafune kye banaasinziirako okumuwawaabira. Naye Yesu n’akutama n’awandiika ku ttaka n’olunwe.
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [ as though he heard them not].
7 Bwe beeyongera okumubuuza, n’akutaamulukuka, n’agamba nti, “Mu mmwe atayonoonangako y’aba asooka okumukuba ejjinja.”
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 N’addamu okukutama, era n’awandiika ku ttaka n’olunwe.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 Bwe baawulira ebyo, ne baseebulukuka kinnoomu, abasinga obukulu nga be basoose, okutuusa Yesu n’omukazi bwe baasigalawo bokka mu maaso g’ekibiina.
And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 Awo Yesu n’akutaamulukuka ate, n’abuuza omukazi nti, “Abakuwawaabira baluwa?”
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama wange, tewali n’omu.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Nange sikusalira musango kukusinga. Genda, naye toddangayo okwonoona.”
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
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 spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 Abafalisaayo ne bamugamba nti, “Weeyogerako naye by’oyogera bya bulimba.”
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
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.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, [yet] my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15 Mmwe musala omusango ng’abantu obuntu. Nze siriiko gwe nsalira musango.
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 Naye singa mbadde nsala omusango, ensala yange ya mazima, kubanga siri nzekka, naye ndi ne Kitange eyantuma.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 Amateeka gammwe gagamba nti ssinga abajulirwa babiri bakkiriziganya ku kintu, obujulirwa bwabwe buba bwa mazima.
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Kale Nze nneyogerako era n’oyo eyantuma ategeeza ebyange.”
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of 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 said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
20 Ebigambo ebyo Yesu yabyogerera mu kifo omuteekebwa ebirabo, bwe yali ng’ayigiriza mu Yeekaalu. Naye ne wataba amukwata, kubanga ekiseera kye kyali tekinnatuuka.
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was 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 said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Awo Abayudaaya ne bagamba nti, “Agenda kwetta kyava agamba nti, ‘Nze gye ndaga, mmwe temuyinza kujjayo?’”
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot 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 unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye 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.”
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
25 Ne bamubuuza nti, “Ggwe ani?” Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Lwaki mbategeeza?
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even [the same] that I said unto 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 say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27 Kyokka tebaategeera Kitaawe gw’ayogerako.
They understood not that he spake to them of 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 said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29 Era oyo eyantuma ali nange, tandekanga bw’omu, kubanga bulijjo nkola by’ayagala.”
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 Yesu bwe yayogera ebigambo ebyo bangi ne bamukkiriza.
As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Awo Yesu n’agamba Abayudaaya abaamukkiriza nti, “Bwe munywerera ku kigambo kyange muba bayigirizwa bange ddala.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;
32 Era mulitegeera amazima, n’amazima galibafuula ba ddembe.”
And ye 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 answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti buli akola ekibi aba muddu wa kibi.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: [but] the Son abideth ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Kale, Omwana bw’alibafuula ab’eddembe, mulibeerera ddala ba ddembe.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye 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 that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 Nze mbategeeza ebyo Kitange bye yandaga, nammwe mukola ebyo kitammwe bye yababuulira.”
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen 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 answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye 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 ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Mukola emirimu gya kitammwe.” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ffe tetwazaalibwa mu bwenzi, Kitaffe gwe tulina ali omu, ye Katonda.”
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] 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 unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Lwaki temutegeera bye njogera? Kubanga temwagala kuwulira bigambo byange.
Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot 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.
Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 Naye kubanga njogera mazima kyemuva mutanzikiriza.
And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Ani mu mmwe annumiriza ekibi? Bwe njogera amazima, kiki ekibagaana okunzikiriza?
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 Buli muntu wa Katonda awulira ebigambo bya Katonda. Naye mmwe temuwulira kubanga temuli ba Katonda.”
He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
48 Awo Abayudaaya ne baddamu Yesu nti, “Tetuli batuufu okugamba nti oli Musamaliya, era oliko dayimooni?”
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Nze siriiko dayimooni, naye nzisaamu Kitange ekitiibwa naye mmwe temunzisaamu kitiibwa.
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 Naye Nze sinoonya kussibwamu kitiibwa, waliwo omu ye akisaanira era y’alamula.
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Buli anywerera ku kigambo kyange talifa emirembe n’emirembe.” (aiōn g165)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall 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)
Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. (aiōn g165)
53 Ggwe mukulu okukira jjajjaffe Ibulayimu eyafa? Bannabbi nabo baafa. Ggwe weeyita ani?”
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Singa Nze neegulumiza okwegulumiza kwange tekubaamu nsa, angulumiza ye Kitange mmwe gwe muyita Katonda wammwe,
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 mmwe temumumanyi. Nze mmumanyi. Bwe ŋŋamba nti simumanyi mba mulimba nga mmwe bwe muli. Nze mmumanyi era n’ekigambo kye nkikuuma.
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Kitammwe Ibulayimu yasanyuka okulaba olunaku lwange. Yamanya nti nzija era ne kimusanyusa.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
57 Abayudaaya ne bamugamba nti, “Tonnaweza na myaka amakumi ataano egy’obukulu n’ogamba nti walaba Ibulayimu?”
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti Ibulayimu yali tannabaawo, Nze nga wendi.”
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Awo ne bakwata amayinja okumukuba, kyokka Yesu ne yeekweka n’afuluma mu Yeekaalu.
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
