Jaona 7
1 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nandeha tany Galilia Jesosy; fa nalain-kandeha tany Jodia Izy, satria nitady hahafaty Azy ny Jiosy.
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Ary efa akaiky ny andro firavoravoan’ ny Jiosy, dia ny amin’ ny Tabernakely,
Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
3 ka hoy ny rahalahiny taminy: Mialà eto, ka mandehana ho any Jodia, mba ho hitan’ ny mpianatrao koa ny asa izay ataonao;
His brothers therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou art doing.
4 fa tsy misy olona manao zavatra amin’ ny takona, nefa ny tenany mitady ho hita miharihary; raha manao izany zavatra izany Hianao, dia misehoa amin’ izao tontolo izao.
For no one doeth anything in secret, and yet himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.
5 Fa na dia ny rahalahiny aza tsy nino Azy.
For even his brothers did not believe in him.
6 Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy mbola tonga ny fotoako; fa ny fotoanareo dia vonona lalandava.
Jesus saith to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
7 Tsy mahazo mankahala anareo izao tontolo izao; fa Izaho no halany, satria milaza fa ratsy ny asany.
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
8 Miakara ho amin’ ny andro firavoravoana ianareo; fa Izaho tsy mbola miakatra ho amin’ ity andro firavoravoana ity; satria tsy mbola tonga ny fotoako.
Go ye up to the feast; I go not up to this feast; for my time is not yet fully come.
9 Ary rehefa nilaza izany teny izany taminy Izy, dia mbola nitoetra tany Galilia ihany.
Having said these things, he remained in Galilee.
10 Fa rehefa lasa niakatra ho amin’ ny andro firavoravoana ny rahalahiny, dia niakatra koa Izy, nefa tsy mba nisehoseho, fa toa niafinafina.
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Ary ny Jiosy dia nitady Azy tamin’ ny andro firavoravoana ka nanao hoe: Aiza Izy?
The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
12 Ary nitakoritsika Azy be ihany ny vahoaka. Hoy ny sasany: Tsara fanahy Izy; fa hoy kosa ny sasany; Tsia; fa mamitaka ny vahoaka Izy.
And there was much debating among the multitude concerning him. Some said, He is a good man; others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the multitude.
13 Nefa tsy nisy sahy niresaka Azy miharihary noho ny fahatahorany ny Jiosy.
No one, however, spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
14 Ary rehefa nisasaka ny andro firavoravoana, dia niakatra teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly Jesosy ka nampianatra.
But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
15 Dia gaga ny Jiosy ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no nahaizan’ ilehity soratra, nefa tsy mba nianatra Izy?
The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Dia namaly azy Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Tsy Ahy ny fampianarako, fa an’ izay naniraka Ahy.
Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 Raha misy olona ta-hanao ny sitrapony, dia hahalala ny amin’ ny fampianarana izy, na avy amin’ Andriamanitra izany, na miteny ho Ahy Aho.
If any one is desirous to do his will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.
18 Izay miteny ho azy dia mitady ny voninahitry ny tenany; fa izay mitady ny voninahitr’ izay naniraka azy no marina, ary tsy misy tsi-fahamarinana ao aminy.
He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and in him is no unrighteousness.
19 Tsy Mosesy va no nanome anareo ny lalàna? nefa tsy misy eo aminareo mankatò ny lalàna. Nahoana ianareo no mitady hamono Ahy?
Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me?
20 Ny vahoaka namaly hoe: Manana demonia Hianao; iza no mitady hamono Anao?
The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee?
21 Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Asa iray loha ihany no nataoko, ka gaga avokoa ianareo rehetra.
Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering.
22 Izao no nanomezan’ i Mosesy anareo ny famorana: tsy noho izy avy tamin’ i Mosesy, fa noho izy avy tamin’ ny razana, ka na dia amin’ ny Sabata aza dia mamora olona ihany ianareo.
Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.
23 Raha amin’ ny Sabata aza no amorana olona, mba tsy hahafoana ny lalàn’ i Mosesy, dia tezitra amiko va ianareo, satria nisy olona anankiray nataoko sitrana avokoa ny tenany rehetra tamin’ ny Sabata.
If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye angry at me, because I have restored soundness to the whole body of a man on the sabbath?
24 Aza mitsara araka ny miseho, fa mba mitsarà marina.
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Ary ny mponina sasany tany Jerosalema dia nanao hoe: Tsy Ilehity va Ilay tadiaviny hovonoina?
Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26 Ary indro Izy miteny miharihary, nefa tsy misy miteny Azy akory. Sao efa fantatry ny mpanapaka anie fa Io no Kristy?
and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ?
27 Nefa fantatsika izay nihavian’ ilehio, fa raha avy Kristy, tsy misy mahalala izay hihaviany.
Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
28 Dia niantso teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly Jesosy, raha nampianatra, ka nanao hoe: Izaho dia fantatrareo, sady fantatrareo koa izay nihaviako; ary tsy avy ho Ahy Aho, fa marina ny naniraka Ahy, Izay tsy fantatrareo.
Jesus therefore cried aloud, teaching in the temple and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but there is in truth one who sent me, whom ye know not.
29 Izaho mahalala Azy; fa Izy no nihaviako, ka Izy no naniraka Ahy.
I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Dia nitady hisambotra Azy ny olona; kanefa tsy nisy naninji-tanana taminy, satria tsy mbola tonga ny fotoany.
Therefore they sought to take him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 Ary maro ny vahoaka no nino Azy ka nanao hoe: Raha tonga Kristy, moa hanao famantarana maro mihoatra noho ny nataon’ ity Lehilahy ity va Izy?
But of the multitude many believed in him, and said, When the Christ cometh, will he do more signs than these which this man doeth?
32 Ny Fariseo nandre ny vahoaka nitakoritsika izany zavatra izany ny aminy; ary ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo dia naniraka mpiandry raharaha mba hisambotra Azy.
The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.
33 Dia hoy Jesosy: Kely foana no itoerako aminareo, dia hankany amin’ izay naniraka Ahy Aho.
Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
34 Hitady Ahy ianareo, fa tsy hahita; ary izay itoerako dia tsy azonareo haleha.
Ye will seek me and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come.
35 Dia niresaka hoe ny Jiosy: Hankaiza moa no halehan’ ilehity, no tsy ho hitantsika? Hankany amin’ izay miely any amin’ ny Grika va Izy ka hampianatra ny Grika?
The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 Ahoana re izao teny nolazainy izao hoe: Hitady Ahy ianareo, fa tsy hahita; ary izay itoerako tsy azonareo haleha?
What meaneth this which he said, Ye will seek me, and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
37 Ary tamin’ ny andro farany, izay andro lehibe tamin’ ny andro firavoravoana, dia nitsangana Jesosy ka niantso nanao hoe: Raha misy olona mangetaheta, aoka izy hanatona Ahy ka hisotro.
On the last day, which is the great day, of the feast, Jesus stood and cried aloud, saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
38 Izay mino Ahy, dia hisy onin’ ny rano velona miboiboika avy ao an-kibony, araka ny voalazan’ ny Soratra Masìna.
He that believeth in me, from within him, as the Scripture hath said, will flow rivers of living water.
39 Ary ny Fanahy, Izay efa horaisin’ ny mino Azy, no nolazainy tamin’ izany; fa ny Fanahy tsy mbola nomena, satria Jesosy tsy mbola niditra tamin’ ny voninahiny.
But this he said of the Spirit, which those that believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Ary ny sasany tamin’ ny vahoaka, raha nandre izany teny izany, dia nanao hoe: Ity tokoa no Ilay Mpaminany.
Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ.
41 Hoy ny sasany: Ity no Kristy. Fa hoy kosa ny sasany: Avy any Galilia va no ihavian’ i Kristy?
Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee?
42 Tsy voalazan’ ny Soratra Masìna va fa Kristy dia avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Davida, sady avy ao Betlehema, vohitra nonenan’ i Davida?
Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?
43 Dia nisara-tsaina ny amin’ i Jesosy ny vahoaka.
So there was a division among the multitude because of him.
44 Ary ny sasany nitady hisambotra Azy; kanefa tsy nisy naninji-tanana taminy.
And some of them wished to seize him; but no one laid hands on him.
45 Ary ny mpiandry raharaha nankeo amin’ ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo, ka hoy izy ireo taminy: Nahoana ianareo no tsy nitondra Azy?
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
46 Ny mpiandry raharaha namaly hoe: Tsy mbola nisy olona niteny tahaka izany.
The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
47 Ary ny Fariseo namaly azy hoe: Hianareo koa va voafitaka?
The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived?
48 Moa misy mpanapaka na Fariseo mba nino Azy?
Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees?
49 Fa voaozona ireto vahoaka ireto, izay tsy mahalala ny lalàna.
but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed.
50 Ary Nikodemosy, anankiray teo aminy, dia ilay nankeo amin’ i Jesosy teo aloha, dia nanao taminy hoe:
Nicodemus saith to them, being one of them,
51 Moa manameloka olona va ny lalàntsika, raha tsy mbola mihaino azy aloha ka mahafantatra izay nataony?
Doth our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he doeth?
52 Izy ireo namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianao koa angaha mba avy any Galilia? Diniho, dia ho hitanao fa tsy mba misy mpaminany avy any Galilia.
They answered and said to him, Art thou too from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.
53 [Dia samy lasa nody ho any an-tranony avy izy rehetra;
(Joh 7:53 - 8:12: This passage is omitted as ungenuine by Tischendorf and most critical editors of the Greek Testament. It is found in some manuscripts, but not in the most ancient. It is, however, very generally regarded as a genuine relic of the teaching of Christ, though not forming a part of the fourth Gospel. I give it in the text of Tregelles, omitting the words which he incloses in brackets. Tregelles, however, does not suppose it to be genuine.) [[And they went each to his house;
