Yohani 8
1 Kangi Yesu akahamba ku chitumbi Mizeituni.
And at dawn He came again to the temple [courts],
2 Chilau yaki lukela pehe Yesu akahamba kavili Munyumba ya Chapanga. Vandu voha vamtindili na mwene akatama na kuvawula.
and all the people were coming to Him, and having sat down, He was teaching them;
3 Hinu vawula va malagizu na Vafalisayu vamletili mdala mmonga mwevamkamwili ugoni vakamyimika pagati yavi.
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 Kangi vakamkota Yesu, “Muwula mdala uyu vamkamwili ndava ya ugoni.”
they say to Him, “Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime [of] committing adultery,
5 Mumalagizu gitu Musa atilagizi atovewa na maganga mbaka afwayi. Mdala ngati uyu, hinu veve wijova wuli?
and in the Law, Moses commanded us that such be stoned; You, therefore, what do You say?”
6 Vene vajovili malovi ago muni vamlinga. Muni vapatayi lilovi la kumtakila. Nambu Yesu akagundama pahi akayandika kwa lungonji lwaki pandima.
And this they said, trying Him, that they might have to accuse Him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger He was writing on the ground,
7 Pevayendalili kumkota, Yesu akayinuka akavajovela, “Mundu mweangambudila Chapanga pagati yinu avyayi wa kutumbula kumtova liganga.”
and when they continued asking Him, having bent Himself back, He said to them, “The sinless of you—let him cast the first stone at her”;
8 Kangi akagundama kavili akavya mukuyandika pandima.
and again having stooped down, He was writing on the ground,
9 Pevayuwini ago, vakatumbula kuwuka mmonga mmonga, valongolili vagogo. Yesu asigalili mwene, na mdala yula ayimili palapala.
and they having heard, and being convicted by the conscience, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders—to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 Yesu peayinwiki ndi akamkota mau, Vandu vala vavi koki? Wu, kawaka hati mundu mmonga mweakuhamwili?
And Jesus having bent Himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, “Woman, where are those—your accusers? Did no one pass sentence on you?”
11 Mau yula, akamyangula, “Bambu, kawaka hati mmonga!” Yesu akamjovela, “Nene mewa nikuhamula lepi. Uhambayi, kutumbula hinu ukotoka kumbudila Chapanga kavili.”
And she said, “No one, Lord”; and Jesus said to her, “Neither do I pass sentence on you; be going on, and sin no more.”]]
12 Yesu alongili kavili na vandu, akavajovela, “Nene ndi lumuli lwa mulima. Mweakunilanda katu nakugenda muchitita, nambu ivya na lumuli lwa wumi.”
Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I AM the light of the world; he who is following Me will not walk in the darkness, but he will have the light of life.”
13 Hinu, Vafalisayu vakamjovela, “Veve wijova ndava yaku wamwene, malovi geujova ndava yaku, na geujova gachakaka lepi.”
The Pharisees, therefore, said to Him, “You testify of Yourself, Your testimony is not true”;
14 Yesu akavayangula, “Hati ngati nijova ndava yangu namwene malovi gangu ndi gachakaka, ndava namwene nimanyili kwenihuma na kwenihamba. Nambu nyenye mumanyi lepi kwenihumili amala kwenihamba.
Jesus answered and said to them, “And if I testify of Myself—My testimony is true, because I have known from where I came, and to where I go, and you have not known from where I come, or to where I go.
15 Nyenye mwihamula ngati vandu chevihamula, nambu nene nikumuhamula lepi mundu.
You judge according to the flesh; I do not judge anyone,
16 Nambu ngati nihamula, kuhamula kwangu ndi kwa chakaka ndava nakuvya namwene, Dadi mweanitumili avi pamonga na nene.
and even if I do judge My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me;
17 Mu malagizu ginu yiyandikwi ngati vandu vavili vijova kwa kuyidakila ndava ya chindu chimonga chevachiwene chindu chenicho ndi chakaka.
and also in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true;
18 Nene nijova uchakaka namwene mewawa na Dadi mweanitumili ijova uchakaka ndava yangu.”
I am [One] who is testifying of Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies of Me.”
19 Bahapo vene vakamkota, “Avi koki Dadi waku?” Yesu akavayangula, “Nyenye nakunimanya nene, amala mumanyi lepi Dadi. Ngati mnimanyili nene ngammanyili na Dadi wangu mewa.”
They said, therefore, to Him, “Where is Your father?” Jesus answered, “You have neither known Me nor My Father: if you had known Me, you had also known My Father.”
20 Yesu agajovili malovi ago Munyumba ya Chapanga papipi na chijomela kuvikila luteta. Kawaka mundu mweamkamwili ndava lukumbi lwaki lwavi lwakona kuhika.
Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come;
21 Yesu akavajovela kavili, “Nihamba namwene ndi nyenye yati mukunilonda, nambu mwifwa mukumbudila Chapanga, kwenihamba nene, nyenye nakuhotola kuhika.”
therefore Jesus said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sin; to where I go away, you are not able to come.”
22 Hinu, vachilongosi va Vayawudi vakajova, ndava ya kyani ijova, kwenihamba nyenye nakuhotola kuhika, “Wu, igana kujikoma mwene?”
The Jews, therefore, said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, To where I go away, you are not able to come?”
23 Yesu akavajovela, “Nyenye muhumili bahapa pahi, nambu nene nihumili kunani. Nyenye va bahapa pamulima, nene na wa mulima wenuwu lepi.
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 Ndava muni navajovili kuvya yati mwifwa mukumbudila Chapanga winu, ngati mwangasadika ‘Nene Ndi Mwene,’ Mwifwa mukumbudila Chapanga.”
I said, therefore, to you, that you will die in your sins, for if you may not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
25 Vene vakamkota, “Veve wayani?” Yesu akayangula, “Nene ndi mwenavajovili kutumbula kadeni!
They said, therefore, to Him, “You—who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Even what I spoke of to you at the beginning;
26 Nivii nagu gamahele ga kujova na mewawa kuvahamula nyenye. Nambu mweanitumili yula ndi chakaka, nene nikuujovela mulima mambu gala genigayuwini kuhumila kwa mwene.”
many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent Me is true, and I—what things I heard from Him—these I say to the world.”
27 Vene vangamanya kuvya Yesu akuvajovela malovi ga Chapanga Dadi waki.
They did not know that He spoke to them of the Father;
28 Ndi Yesu akavajovela, “Pemukumunyakula Mwana wa Mundu, penapo ndi yati mwimanya kuvya ‘Nene Ndi Mwene,’ Namwene nakuhenga chochoha ndi nijova gala ndu geaniwulili Dadi.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, “When you may lift up the Son of Man then you will know that I AM; and I do nothing of Myself, but according as My Father taught Me, these things I speak;
29 Mweanitumili avi pamonga na nene, mwene anilekili lepi namwene ndava nihenga magono goha gala gegakumganisa.”
and He who sent Me is with Me; the Father did not leave Me alone, because I always do the things pleasing to Him.”
30 Vandu vamahele pevamyuwini Yesu ijova genago vamsadiki.
As He is speaking these things, many believed in Him;
31 Yesu akavajovela Vayawudi vala vevamsadiki, “Ngati mukugayidakila mawuliwu gangu chakaka yati mwivya vawuliwa vangu.
Jesus, therefore, said to the Jews who believed in Him, “If you may remain in My word, you are truly My disciples,
32 Yati mukuumanya uchakaka na uchakaka yati ukuvapela kulekekeswa.”
and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
33 Vene vakamyangula, “Tete chiveleku cha Ibulahimu. Hati mala yimonga, nakuvya vavanda kwa mundu yoyoha mana yaki kiki peujova, ‘Yati tilekekeswa?’”
They answered Him, “We are seed of Abraham; and we have been servants to no one at any time; how do You say—You will become free?”
34 Yesu akavayangula, “Chakaka nikuvajovela, mundu yoyoha mweibuda mwenuyu ndi mvanda mweabudili.
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who is committing sin, is a servant of sin,
and the servant does not remain in the house—throughout the age, the Son remains—throughout the age; (aiōn g165)
36 Hinu Mwana akavapela ulekekesu yati mulekekeswa chakaka.
if then the Son may make you free, in reality you will be free.
37 Nivamanyili nyenye kuvya chiveleku cha Ibulahimu. Pamonga mwilonda kunikoma ndava mukugabela mawuliwu gangu.
I have known that you are seed of Abraham, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you;
38 Nene nijova gala geanilangisi Dadi, nambu nyenye mkugahenga gala gemuyuwini kuhuma kwa dadi winu.”
I speak that which I have seen with My Father, and you, therefore, do that which you have seen with your father.”
39 Vene vakamyangula, “Dadi witu Ibulahimu.” Yesu akavajovela, “Ngati nyenye kuvya vana vaki Ibulahimu ngamuhengili ngati cheahengili Ibulahimu.
They answered and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham”; Jesus says to them, “If you were children of Abraham, the works of Abraham you were doing;
40 Nene nivajovili uchakaka weniuyuwini kuhuma kwa Chapanga. Nambu nyenye mulonda kunikoma. Ibulahimu akitili lepi genago!
and now, you seek to kill Me—a Man who has spoken to you the truth I heard from God; Abraham did not do this;
41 Nyenye mwikita mambu galagala geakitili dadi winu.” Vene vakamjovela, “Tete tavana vamakunja lepi! Tivii na Dadi witu mmonga ndi Chapanga.”
you do the works of your father.” They said, therefore, to Him, “We have not been born of whoredom; we have one Father—God”;
42 Yesu akavajovela, “Ngati kuvya Chapanga ndi Dadi winu, ngamuniganili nene, muni nene nahumili kwa Chapanga na hinu nivii penapa. Nibweli lepi kwa uhotola wangu nambu wa mwene mweanitumili yula.
Jesus then said to them, “If God were your father, you were loving Me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of Myself, but He sent Me;
43 Ndava kyani mwimanya lepi genijova aga? Ndava muni nakuyuwana ujumbi wangu.
why do you not know My speech? Because you are not able to hear My word.
44 Nyenye vana va dadi winu Setani na mwigana kuhenga geigana dadi winu. Mwene avi mkomaji kuhumila kadeni, mwene iyima lepi upandi wa uchakaka, ndava muni mugati yaki uchakaka uvi lepi. Kila peijova udese ijova ngati cheavili muni mwene mdese na dadi wa vadese.
You are of a father—the Devil, and the desires of your father you will to do; he was a manslayer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, he speaks of his own, because he is a liar—also his father.
45 Ndava nene nikuvajovela uchakaka nyenye mukunisadika lepi.
And because I say the truth, you do not believe Me.
46 Yani pagati yinu mweihotola kunijovela nene nikumbudila Chapanga? Nene nakajovayi chakaka ndava kyani mukunisadika lepi?
Who of you convicts Me of sin? And if I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
47 Mweavi waki Chapanga iyuwana malovi gaki Chapanga. Nambu nyenye nakuyuwana ndava nyenye vandu lepi va Chapanga.”
He who is of God, he hears the sayings of God; because of this you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
48 Vayawudi vakamyangula Yesu, “Wu, tete nakujova chakaka kuvya veve wa Msamaliya na kavili uvi na mzuka?”
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to Him, “Do we not say well, that You are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
49 Yesu akayangula, “Nangali mzuka. Nene nikumtopesa Dadi wangu, nambu nyenye mukunitopesa lepi nene.
Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me;
50 Nene nikuulonda lepi ukulu wangu namwene, avi mmonga mweakunilondela ukulu wangu, mwene ndi mhamula mihalu.
and I do not seek My own glory; there is [One] who is seeking and is judging;
51 Chakaka nikujovela, mundu akauyidakila ujumbi wangu yati ifwa lepi nambu ivya mumi magono goha gangali mwishu.” (aiōn g165)
truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may keep My word, he may not see death—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
52 Vayawudi vakajova, “Hinu timanyili kuvya chakaka veve uvi na mzuka! Ibulahimu afwili mewawa vamlota va Chapanga vafwili hinu veve ujova ‘Mweakuukamulila ujumbi waku katu ifwa lepi, nambu ivya mumi magono goha!’ (aiōn g165)
The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “Now we have known that You have a demon; Abraham died, and the prophets, and You say, If anyone may keep My word, he will not taste of death—throughout the age! (aiōn g165)
53 Wu, veve ukujikita mkulu kuliku dadi witu Ibulahimu mweafwili?” Mewawa na vamlota va Chapanga vafwili. Veve ukujita wayani?
Are You greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died; whom do You make Yourself?”
54 Yesu akavayangula, “Nakujilumba namwene, ukulu wangu chindu lepi. Dadi wangu mwemukumkemela Chapanga winu, mwene ndi mweakunilumba.
Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who is glorifying Me, of whom you say that He is your God;
55 Nyenye mukummanya lepi, nambu nene nimanyili nikajova nangammanya, yati nivya mdese ngati nyenye, nambu nimmanyili na nikugayidakila malovi gaki.
and you have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I will be like you—speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and I keep His word;
56 Dadi winu Ibulahimu, ahekalili alilola ligono langu. Mwene akaliwona akavya na luheku.”
your father Abraham was glad that he might see My day; and he saw, and rejoiced.”
57 Vayawudi vakamjovela, “Veve uhikisi lepi hati miyaka makumi mhanu na veve umuweni Ibulahimu?”
The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
58 Yesu akavajovela, “Chakaka nikuvajovela, kwakona Ibulahimu kuvelekewa nene navili.”
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham’s coming—I AM”;
59 Penapo vakanonga maganga muni vamjugumilayi nambu Yesu ajifiyili na kuwuka pa Nyumba ya Chapanga.
they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at Him, but Jesus hid Himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
