Yohannis 7
1 Kana booddee Yesuus Galiilaa keessa deddeebiʼaa ture; sababii Yihuudoonni isa ajjeesuu barbaadaniif inni Yihuudaa keessa hin deddeebine.
After this Jesus moved from place to place in Galilee. He would not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were seeking an opportunity to kill Him.
2 Ayyaanni Daasii Yihuudootaa dhiʼaatee ture.
But the Jewish Festival of the Tent-Pitching was approaching.
3 Obboloonni isaas akkana jedhaniin; “Akka barattoonni kee warri achii waan ati hojjettu arganiif kaʼiitii Yihuudaa dhaqi.
So His brothers said to Him, "Leave these parts and go into Judaea, that not only we but your disciples also may witness the miracles which you perform.
4 Namni utuu ifaan ifatti beekamuu barbaaduu dhoksaatti waa hojjetu hin jiruutii. Atis sababii waan kana hojjettuuf addunyaatti of mulʼisi.”
For no one acts in secret, desiring all the while to be himself known publicly. Since you are doing these things, show yourself openly to the world."
5 Obboloonni isaa iyyuu isatti hin amanne tureetii.
For even His brothers were not believers in Him.
6 Yesuusis akkana jedheen; “Yeroon koo amma illee hin geenye; isiniif garuu yeroon hundi mijaaʼaa dha.
"My time," replied Jesus, "has not yet come, but for you any time is suitable.
7 Addunyaan isin jibbuu hin dandaʼu; ana garuu akka hojiin isaa hamaa taʼe waanan itti dhugaa baʼuuf na jibba.
It is impossible for the world to hate you; but me it does hate, because I give testimony concerning it that its conduct is evil.
8 Isin gara Ayyaana sanaa dhaqaa. Ani garuu waan yeroon koo amma illee hin gaʼiniif gara Ayyaanichaatti ol hin baʼu.”
As for you, go up to the Festival. I do not now go up to this Festival, because my time is not yet fully come."
9 Inni waan kana isaanitti dubbatee Galiilaatti hafe.
Such was His answer, and He remained in Galilee.
10 Garuu erga obboloonni isaa gara Ayyaanichaatti ol baʼanii booddee innis utuu ifaan ifatti hin taʼin dhoksaadhaan ol baʼe.
When however His brothers had gone up to the Festival, then He also went up, not openly, but as it were privately.
11 Yihuudoonnis Ayyaanicha irratti, “Namichi sun eessa jira?” jedhanii gaafachaa isa barbaadaa turan.
Meanwhile the Jews at the Festival were looking for Him and were inquiring, "Where is he?"
12 Namoota gidduuttis waaʼee isaa guungummii guddaatu ture. Namoonni tokko tokko, “Inni nama gaarii dha” jedhan. Warri kaan immoo, “Akkas miti; inni nama dogoggorsa” jedhan.
Among the mass of the people there was much muttered debate about Him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so: he is imposing on the people."
13 Garuu waan Yihuudoota sodaataniif namni tokko iyyuu ifaan ifatti waaʼee isaa hin dubbanne.
Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke out boldly about Him.
14 Gara walakkaa Ayyaanichaattis Yesuus mana qulqullummaa seenee barsiisuu jalqabe.
But when the Festival was already half over, Jesus went up to the Temple and commenced teaching.
15 Yihuudoonnis dinqifatanii, “Namichi kun akkamitti utuu hin baratin beekumsa akkanaa qabaate?” jedhan.
The Jews were astonished. "How does this man know anything of books," they said, "although he has never been at any of the schools?"
16 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Barsiisni koo kan isa na ergeeti malee kan koo miti.
Jesus answered their question by saying, "My teaching does not belong to me, but comes from Him who sent me.
17 Namni fedhii Waaqaa gochuu barbaadu kam iyyuu barsiisni koo Waaqa biraa dhufuu fi dhufuu baachuu isaa yookaan ani ofuma kootiin dubbachuu fi dubbachuu baachuu koo ni beeka.
If any one is willing to do His will, he shall know about the teaching, whether it is from God or originates with me.
18 Namni ofuma isaatiin dubbatu inni ofuma isaatii ulfina argachuu barbaada; namni ulfina kan isa erge sanaa barbaadu garuu inni nama dhugaa ti; jalʼinnis isa keessa hin jiru.
The man whose teaching originates with himself aims at his own glory. He who aims at the glory of Him who sent him teaches the truth, and there is no deception in him.
19 Museen seera isinii kenneera mitii? Isin keessaa garuu namni tokko iyyuu seera sana hin eegu. Isin maaliif na ajjeesuu barbaaddu?”
Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not a man of you obeys the Law. Why do you want to kill me?"
20 Jarris deebisanii, “Hafuura hamaatu si keessa jira; eenyutu si ajjeesuu barbaada?” jedhaniin.
"You are possessed by a demon," replied the crowd; "no one wants to kill you."
21 Yesuusis deebisee akkana jedheen; “Ani hojii tokko hojjennaan hundi keessan dinqifattan.
"One deed I have done," replied Jesus, "and you are all full of wonder.
22 Museen seera dhagna qabaa isinii kenne; dhagna qabaa garuu abbootiitu jalqabe malee Musee miti; isinis Sanbataan nama dhagna qabdu.
Consider therefore. Moses gave you the rite of circumcision (not that it began with Moses, but with your earlier forefathers), and even on a Sabbath day you circumcise a child.
23 Akka seerri Musee hin cabneef erga namni tokko Sanbataan dhagna qabachuu dandaʼee, isin maaliif sababii ani Sanbataan dhagna namaa guutuu fayyiseef natti aartu?
If a child is circumcised even on a Sabbath day, are you bitter against me because I have restored a man to perfect health on a Sabbath day?
24 Murtii qajeelaa kennaa malee, bifa qofa ilaaltanii hin murteessinaa.”
Do not form superficial judgements, but form the judgements that are just."
25 Kana irratti namoota Yerusaalem keessaa tokko tokko akkana jedhan; “Inni kun namicha isaan ajjeesuuf barbaadan sana mitii?
Some however of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this the man they are wanting to kill?
26 Kunoo inni ifatti baʼee dubbata; isaanis homaa isaan hin jenne. Abbootiin taayitaa akka inni Kiristoos taʼe sirriitti beekaniiruu laata?
But here he is, speaking openly and boldly, and they say nothing to him! Can the Rulers really have ascertained that this man is the Christ?
27 Taʼus namichi kun nama eessaa akka taʼe nu beekna. Kiristoos yommuu dhufutti garuu inni eessaa akka dhufu namni tokko iyyuu hin beeku.”
And yet we know this man, and we know where he is from; but as for the Christ, when He comes, no one can tell where He is from."
28 Yesuus utuu mana qulqullummaa keessatti barsiisuu sagalee isaa ol fudhatee akkana jedhe; “Isin na beektu; akka ani eessaa dhufe illee beektu. Ani ofii kootiin hin dhufne; inni na erge sun dhuga qabeessa. Isin garuu isa hin beektan;
Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, and said, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge.
29 ani garuu sababiin isa biraa dhufee fi sababii inni na ergeef isa nan beeka.”
I know Him, because I came from Him, and He sent me."
30 Kana irratti isaan isa qabuu yaalan; garuu waan saʼaatiin isaa hin gaʼiniif namni tokko iyyuu harkaan isa hin tuqne.
On hearing this they wanted to arrest Him; yet not a hand was laid on Him, because His time had not yet come.
31 Taʼus namoonni baayʼeen isatti amanan. Isaanis, “Kiristoos yommuu dhufutti namicha kana caalaa mallattoo hojjetaa?” jedhan.
But from among the crowd a large number believed in Him. "When the Christ comes," they said, "will He perform more miracles than this teacher has performed?"
32 Fariisonnis utuu namoonni waaʼee isaa waan akkanaa guungumanuu dhagaʼan. Luboonni hangafoonnii fi Fariisonni Yesuusin qabsiisuudhaaf eegdota mana qulqullummaa ergan.
The Pharisees heard the people thus expressing their various doubts about Him, and the High Priests and the Pharisees sent some officers to apprehend Him.
33 Yesuusis akkana jedheen; “Ani yeroo gabaabaa isin wajjin jira; ergasii gara isa na erge sanaa nan dhaqa.
So Jesus said, "Still for a short time I am with you, and then I go my way to Him who sent me.
34 Isin na barbaaddu; garuu na hin argattan; iddoo ani jirus dhufuu hin dandeessan.”
You will look for me and will not find me, and where I am you cannot come."
35 Yihuudoonnis akkana waliin jedhan; “Namichi kun akka nu isa hin argineef eessa dhaquu yaade laata? Gara saba keenya warra Giriikota keessa faffacaʼanii dhaqee Giriikota barsiisaa?
The Jews therefore said to one another, "Where is he about to betake himself, so that we shall not find him? Will he betake himself to the Dispersion among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36 ‘Isin na barbaaddu; garuu na hin argattan; iddoo ani jirus dhufuu hin dandeessan’ jechuun isaas maal jechuu isaatii?”
What do those words of his mean, 'You will look for me, but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?"
37 Guyyaa Ayyaanichi itti hobbaʼu, guyyaa guddaa sana, Yesuus kaʼee dhaabatee sagalee guddaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Eenyu iyyuu yoo dheebote, gara koo dhufee haa dhugu.
On the last day of the Festival--the great day--Jesus stood up and cried aloud. "Whoever is thirsty," He said, "let him come to me and drink.
38 Akkuma Katabbiin Qulqulluun jedhe nama natti amanu kam iyyuu laga bishaan jireenyaatu garaa isaa keessaa burqa.”
He who believes in me, from within him--as the Scripture has said--rivers of living water shall flow."
39 Kunis waaʼee Hafuura Qulqulluu warri isatti amanan argachuuf jiranii dubbachuu isaa ti. Sababii Yesuus amma illee ulfina hin argatiniif Hafuuri Qulqulluun hamma yeroo sanaatti hin kennamne tureetii.
He referred to the Spirit which those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not bestowed as yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40 Namoota sana keessaa tokko tokko yommuu dubbii kana dhagaʼanitti, “Kun dhugumaanuu Raajicha” jedhan.
After listening to these discourses, some of the crowd began to say, "This is beyond doubt the Prophet."
41 Warri kaan immoo, “Inni Kiristoosii dha” jedhan. Namoonni kaanis akkana jedhan; “Kiristoos Galiilaadhaa dhufaa?
Others said, "He is the Christ." But others again, "Not so, for is the Christ to come from Galilee?
42 Akka Kiristoos sanyii Daawit keessaa dhalatuu fi akka inni Beetlihemii, ganda Daawitii dhufu Katabbiin Qulqulluun ni dubbata mitii?”
Has not the Scripture declared that the Christ is to come of the family of David and from Bethlehem, David's village?"
43 Akkasiin waaʼee Yesuus irratti garaa garummaan waldaa gidduutti uumame.
So there was a violent dissension among the people on His account.
44 Isaan keessaas tokko tokko isa qabuu barbaadan; garuu namni tokko iyyuu harkaan isa hin tuqne.
Some of them wanted at once to arrest Him, but no one laid hands upon Him.
45 Eegdonni sun gara luboota hangafootaatii fi gara Fariisotaatti deebiʼan; isaanis, “Isin maaliif isa hin fidin?” jedhanii eegdota sana gaafatan.
Meanwhile the officers returned to the High Priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"
46 Eegdonnis, “Takkumaa namni akka namicha kanaatti hin dubbanne” jedhanii deebisan.
"No mere man has ever spoken as this man speaks," said the officers.
47 Fariisonnis deebisanii akkana jedhan, “Isinis gowwoomfamtaniirtuu?
"Are you deluded too?" replied the Pharisees;
48 Bulchitoota keessaa yookaan Fariisota keessaa namni tokko iyyuu isatti amaneeraa?
"has any one of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?
49 Sabni seera hin beekne kun garuu abaaramaa dha.”
But this rabble who understand nothing about the Law are accursed!"
50 Niqoodemoos inni duraan Yesuus bira dhaqee fi isaan keessaas tokko taʼe sun akkana isaaniin jedhe;
Nicodemus interposed--he who had formerly gone to Jesus, being himself one of them.
51 “Seerri keenya utuu isa irraa hin dhagaʼin, waan inni hojjetes utuu hin beekin nama tokkotti ni muraa?”
"Does our Law," he asked, "judge a man without first hearing what he has to say and ascertaining what his conduct is?"
52 Isaanis, “Atis nama Galiilaatii? Akka raajiin Galiilaadhaa hin kaane qoradhuu bira gaʼi” jedhaniin. [
"Do you also come from Galilee?" they asked in reply. "Search and see for yourself that no Prophet is of Galilaean origin."
53 Ergasii isaan hundinuu gara mana isaaniitti galan.
[So they went away to their several homes;
