Yokaana 8
1 Awo Yesu n’alaga ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni.
but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Ku makya ennyo n’akomawo mu Yeekaalu, abantu bonna ne bajja gy’ali, n’atuula n’abayigiriza.
Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to 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.
Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 Ne bagamba Yesu nti, “Omuyigiriza, omukazi ono akwatibbwa ng’ayenda.
they said to him, "Teacher, we found this woman 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 in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
6 Ekyo baakyogera nga bamugezesa, bafune kye banaasinziirako okumuwawaabira. Naye Yesu n’akutama n’awandiika ku ttaka n’olunwe.
Now they said this to test him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 Bwe beeyongera okumubuuza, n’akutaamulukuka, n’agamba nti, “Mu mmwe atayonoonangako y’aba asooka okumukuba ejjinja.”
But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
8 N’addamu okukutama, era n’awandiika ku ttaka n’olunwe.
Again he stooped down, and with his finger 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.
But when they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last, and he was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
10 Awo Yesu n’akutaamulukuka ate, n’abuuza omukazi nti, “Abakuwawaabira baluwa?”
Then Jesus, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
11 Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama wange, tewali n’omu.” Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Nange sikusalira musango kukusinga. Genda, naye toddangayo okwonoona.”
And she said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. 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.”
Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
13 Abafalisaayo ne bamugamba nti, “Weeyogerako naye by’oyogera bya bulimba.”
The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
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 them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I am going.
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.
Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 Amateeka gammwe gagamba nti ssinga abajulirwa babiri bakkiriziganya ku kintu, obujulirwa bwabwe buba bwa mazima.
It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 Kale Nze nneyogerako era n’oyo eyantuma ategeeza ebyange.”
I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
19 Awo ne bamubuuza nti, “Kitaawo ali ludda wa?” Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Nze temuntegeera ne Kitange temumutegeera. Singa muntegeera ne Kitange mwandimutegedde.”
They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know 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.
Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet 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.”
Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come."
22 Awo Abayudaaya ne bagamba nti, “Agenda kwetta kyava agamba nti, ‘Nze gye ndaga, mmwe temuyinza kujjayo?’”
The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you 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.
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.”
I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
25 Ne bamubuuza nti, “Ggwe ani?” Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Lwaki mbategeeza?
They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying 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. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
27 Kyokka tebaategeera Kitaawe gw’ayogerako.
They did not understand that he spoke to them about 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.
Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things.
29 Era oyo eyantuma ali nange, tandekanga bw’omu, kubanga bulijjo nkola by’ayagala.”
He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
30 Yesu bwe yayogera ebigambo ebyo bangi ne bamukkiriza.
As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31 Awo Yesu n’agamba Abayudaaya abaamukkiriza nti, “Bwe munywerera ku kigambo kyange muba bayigirizwa bange ddala.
Jesus therefore said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32 Era mulitegeera amazima, n’amazima galibafuula ba ddembe.”
You will know the truth, and the truth will 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 are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"
34 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti buli akola ekibi aba muddu wa kibi.
Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
A slave does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Kale, Omwana bw’alibafuula ab’eddembe, mulibeerera ddala ba ddembe.
So if the Son sets you free, you will 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 you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 Nze mbategeeza ebyo Kitange bye yandaga, nammwe mukola ebyo kitammwe bye yababuulira.”
I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have heard from 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 him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, 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 from God. Abraham did not do this.
41 Mukola emirimu gya kitammwe.” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Ffe tetwazaalibwa mu bwenzi, Kitaffe gwe tulina ali omu, ye Katonda.”
You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. 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.
Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I have not come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Lwaki temutegeera bye njogera? Kubanga temwagala kuwulira bigambo byange.
Why do you not understand my speech? Because you 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.
You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.
45 Naye kubanga njogera mazima kyemuva mutanzikiriza.
But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Ani mu mmwe annumiriza ekibi? Bwe njogera amazima, kiki ekibagaana okunzikiriza?
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Buli muntu wa Katonda awulira ebigambo bya Katonda. Naye mmwe temuwulira kubanga temuli ba Katonda.”
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause 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?”
Then the Judeans answered him, "Do not we say well 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 answered, "I do not have 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 who seeks and judges.
51 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Buli anywerera ku kigambo kyange talifa emirembe n’emirembe.” (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will 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 the Judeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' (aiōn g165)
53 Ggwe mukulu okukira jjajjaffe Ibulayimu eyafa? Bannabbi nabo baafa. Ggwe weeyita ani?”
Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
54 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Singa Nze neegulumiza okwegulumiza kwange tekubaamu nsa, angulumiza ye Kitange mmwe gwe muyita Katonda wammwe,
Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say '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.
You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.
56 Kitammwe Ibulayimu yasanyuka okulaba olunaku lwange. Yamanya nti nzija era ne kimusanyusa.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to 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?”
The Judeans therefore 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 to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
59 Awo ne bakwata amayinja okumukuba, kyokka Yesu ne yeekweka n’afuluma mu Yeekaalu.
Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was concealed, and went out of the temple.
