Yohani 8
1 Kangi Yesu akahamba ku chitumbi Mizeituni.
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Chilau yaki lukela pehe Yesu akahamba kavili Munyumba ya Chapanga. Vandu voha vamtindili na mwene akatama na kuvawula.
Early in the morning he again went to the temple courts. All the people came, and he sat down and taught them.
3 Hinu vawula va malagizu na Vafalisayu vamletili mdala mmonga mwevamkamwili ugoni vakamyimika pagati yavi.
Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought him a woman who had been caught in adultery. Making her stand before them all,
4 Kangi vakamkota Yesu, “Muwula mdala uyu vamkamwili ndava ya ugoni.”
they said to Jesus, testing him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery.
5 Mumalagizu gitu Musa atilagizi atovewa na maganga mbaka afwayi. Mdala ngati uyu, hinu veve wijova wuli?
In the law, Moses commanded us that such women should be stoned; what then do yoʋ say?”
6 Vene vajovili malovi ago muni vamlinga. Muni vapatayi lilovi la kumtakila. Nambu Yesu akagundama pahi akayandika kwa lungonji lwaki pandima.
(They said this to test him, so that they might have something to accuse him of.) But Jesus stooped down and wrote with his finger on the ground, taking no notice.
7 Pevayendalili kumkota, Yesu akayinuka akavajovela, “Mundu mweangambudila Chapanga pagati yinu avyayi wa kutumbula kumtova liganga.”
When they continued asking him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him among you who is without sin throw the first stone at her.”
8 Kangi akagundama kavili akavya mukuyandika pandima.
And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 Pevayuwini ago, vakatumbula kuwuka mmonga mmonga, valongolili vagogo. Yesu asigalili mwene, na mdala yula ayimili palapala.
When they heard this, they were convicted by their own consciences and began to go away one by one, starting with the older men. So Jesus was left alone, with the woman there before him.
10 Yesu peayinwiki ndi akamkota mau, Vandu vala vavi koki? Wu, kawaka hati mundu mmonga mweakuhamwili?
Then Jesus stood up and saw no one but the woman. So he said to her, “Where are yoʋr accusers? Has no one condemned yoʋ?”
11 Mau yula, akamyangula, “Bambu, kawaka hati mmonga!” Yesu akamjovela, “Nene mewa nikuhamula lepi. Uhambayi, kutumbula hinu ukotoka kumbudila Chapanga kavili.”
She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I pass judgment on yoʋ; go 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.”
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will certainly not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13 Hinu, Vafalisayu vakamjovela, “Veve wijova ndava yaku wamwene, malovi geujova ndava yaku, na geujova gachakaka lepi.”
So the Pharisees said to him, “Yoʋ are testifying about yoʋrself, so yoʋr testimony is not valid.”
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 them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
15 Nyenye mwihamula ngati vandu chevihamula, nambu nene nikumuhamula lepi mundu.
You judge according to the flesh, but I judge no one.
16 Nambu ngati nihamula, kuhamula kwangu ndi kwa chakaka ndava nakuvya namwene, Dadi mweanitumili avi pamonga na nene.
Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for I am not alone, but I am with 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.
In your own law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.
18 Nene nijova uchakaka namwene mewawa na Dadi mweanitumili ijova uchakaka ndava yangu.”
I testify about myself, and the Father who sent me also testifies about 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.”
Then they said to him, “Where is yoʋr father?” Jesus answered, “You neither know me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father as well.”
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 words in the treasury as he taught in the temple courts. But no one arrested 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.”
Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
22 Hinu, vachilongosi va Vayawudi vakajova, ndava ya kyani ijova, kwenihamba nyenye nakuhotola kuhika, “Wu, igana kujikoma mwene?”
So the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means by saying, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
23 Yesu akavajovela, “Nyenye muhumili bahapa pahi, nambu nene nihumili kunani. Nyenye va bahapa pamulima, nene na wa mulima wenuwu lepi.
He said to them, “You are from below; 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.”
Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins, for if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
25 Vene vakamkota, “Veve wayani?” Yesu akayangula, “Nene ndi mwenavajovili kutumbula kadeni!
They said to him, “Who are yoʋ?” Jesus said to them, “Exactly what I have been saying to you from 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.”
I have many things to say about you and to judge, but he who sent me is true, and I tell the world what I have heard from him.”
27 Vene vangamanya kuvya Yesu akuvajovela malovi ga Chapanga Dadi waki.
(They did not know that he was speaking to them about 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.
So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own authority, but I speak these things just as my Father taught me.
29 Mweanitumili avi pamonga na nene, mwene anilekili lepi namwene ndava nihenga magono goha gala gegakumganisa.”
He who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”
30 Vandu vamahele pevamyuwini Yesu ijova genago vamsadiki.
As he was saying these things, many believed in him.
31 Yesu akavajovela Vayawudi vala vevamsadiki, “Ngati mukugayidakila mawuliwu gangu chakaka yati mwivya vawuliwa vangu.
Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples.
32 Yati mukuumanya uchakaka na uchakaka yati ukuvapela kulekekeswa.”
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set 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 descendants of Abraham, and we have never been enslaved to anyone. How then can yoʋ say, ‘You will be set free’?”
34 Yesu akavayangula, “Chakaka nikuvajovela, mundu yoyoha mweibuda mwenuyu ndi mvanda mweabudili.
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
The slave does not abide in the house forever; the son abides forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Hinu Mwana akavapela ulekekesu yati mulekekeswa chakaka.
So if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 Nivamanyili nyenye kuvya chiveleku cha Ibulahimu. Pamonga mwilonda kunikoma ndava mukugabela mawuliwu gangu.
I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you are seeking to kill me because your hearts have no room for my word.
38 Nene nijova gala geanilangisi Dadi, nambu nyenye mkugahenga gala gemuyuwini kuhuma kwa dadi winu.”
I speak of what I have seen with my Father; so you also are doing what 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 him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were children of Abraham, you would be doing the works of Abraham.
40 Nene nivajovili uchakaka weniuyuwini kuhuma kwa Chapanga. Nambu nyenye mulonda kunikoma. Ibulahimu akitili lepi genago!
But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do such a thing.
41 Nyenye mwikita mambu galagala geakitili dadi winu.” Vene vakamjovela, “Tete tavana vamakunja lepi! Tivii na Dadi witu mmonga ndi Chapanga.”
You are doing the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of fornication. 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 said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come of my own accord, but he sent me.
43 Ndava kyani mwimanya lepi genijova aga? Ndava muni nakuyuwana ujumbi wangu.
Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot bear to accept 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 belong to your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks lies, he speaks from his own character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 Ndava nene nikuvajovela uchakaka nyenye mukunisadika lepi.
But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Yani pagati yinu mweihotola kunijovela nene nikumbudila Chapanga? Nene nakajovayi chakaka ndava kyani mukunisadika lepi?
Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I am telling the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Mweavi waki Chapanga iyuwana malovi gaki Chapanga. Nambu nyenye nakuyuwana ndava nyenye vandu lepi va Chapanga.”
Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear them is because you do not belong to God.”
48 Vayawudi vakamyangula Yesu, “Wu, tete nakujova chakaka kuvya veve wa Msamaliya na kavili uvi na mzuka?”
The Jews answered him, “Do we not rightly say that yoʋ 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.
I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.
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 keeps my word, he will certainly never see death.” (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 said to him, “Now we know that yoʋ have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet yoʋ say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will certainly never taste death.’ (aiōn g165)
53 Wu, veve ukujikita mkulu kuliku dadi witu Ibulahimu mweafwili?” Mewawa na vamlota va Chapanga vafwili. Veve ukujita wayani?
Are yoʋ greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Who do yoʋ make yoʋrself out to be?”
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 glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
55 Nyenye mukummanya lepi, nambu nene nimanyili nikajova nangammanya, yati nivya mdese ngati nyenye, nambu nimmanyili na nikugayidakila malovi gaki.
You do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know 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 would see my day. He saw it and rejoiced.”
57 Vayawudi vakamjovela, “Veve uhikisi lepi hati miyaka makumi mhanu na veve umuweni Ibulahimu?”
Then the Jews said to him, “Yoʋ are not yet fifty years old, and yoʋ 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 was, I am.”
59 Penapo vakanonga maganga muni vamjugumilayi nambu Yesu ajifiyili na kuwuka pa Nyumba ya Chapanga.
So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple grounds. And passing through the crowd, he walked away.
