Yohani 8
1 Yesu kagenditi kulugongu lwa Mzeituni.
And Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
2 Shirawu yakuwi mandawira putiputi kagenditi kayi Kunumba nkulu ya Mlungu. Wantu woseri wamgendera, nayomberi kalivaga kanja kankufunda.
And in the morning he came again to the temple; and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
3 Wafunda gwa malagaliru na Mafalisayu wamjegera mdala yumu yawambatiti ugoni pakahumba. Wamgolusiya pakati pawu.
And the Scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman that was caught in adultery. And when they had placed her in the midst,
4 Wamkosia, “mfunda! Mdala ayu yawambatiti ugoni kaweriti kankuhumba.
they say to him: Teacher, this woman was caught openly in the act of adultery.
5 Malagaliru ga Musa katulagalira mdala handa ayu wamgumi mabuhi. Su, gwenga gutakula hashi?”
And in the law of Moses, God hath commanded us to stone such persons. What therefore dost thou say?
6 Watakuliti hangu kwa kumjera Yesu, wapati shanzu sha kumsitaki. Yesu kasuntama, kalemba mlitapaka kwa shyala.
And this they said, tempting him, so that they might have ground to accuse him. But Jesus having stooped down, was writing on the ground.
7 Pawawongiriti kumkosiya, Yesu kagolokiti, kawagambira “Muntu yakeniweri na vidoda pakati penu kiwi gwa kwanja kumguma libuwi.”
And as they continued asking him, he straightened himself up, and said to them: Whoever among you is without sin, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 Shakapanu kasuntamala kayi, kaweriti kankulemba mlitapaka.
And, having again stooped down, he wrote on the ground.
9 Pawapikaniriti avi, wanja kuwuka yumuyumu, pawalongolera wazewi. Yesu kasigala gweka yakuwi na mdala ulii kagoloka palaa palii.
And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning with the older; and the woman was left, alone where she had stood in the midst.
10 Yesu kaligolosiya kamkosiyiti mdala ayu, “Wakoshi wantu walii? Hashi kwahera hata yumu yakakutoziti?”
And when Jesus had straightened himself up, he said to the woman: Where are they? Doth no one condemn thee?
11 “Kwahera hata yumu!” Mtuwa, kamwankula. Yesu kamgambira, “Iherepa, wala neni nukutozi ndiri. Gugendi zyaku na kwanjira vinu hapeni gutendi vidoda kayi.”
And she said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither do I condemn thee. Go thou, and henceforth sin no more.
12 Yesu pakayowiriti kayi na Mafalisayu, kawagambira, “Neni ndo Uweru wa pasi panu, yakanizira neni hapeni kagendigendi muntiti nakamu, su hakaweri na Uweru wa ukomu.”
And Jesus again conversed with them, and said: I am the light of the world: he that cometh to me, will not walk in darkness; but will find for himself the light of life.
13 Su, Mafalisayu wamgambira, “Gwenga gulilanguziya gamweni, hangu upitawu waku ufaa ndiri.”
The Pharisees said to him: Thou bearest witness of thyself, thy testimony is not certain.
14 Yesu kawankula, “Hangu ndiri, ata handa nulilanguziya namweni, upitawu wa neni ndo wa nakaka toziya neni nuvimana kwandawiti na kwang'enda. Kumbiti mwenga muvimana ndiri kwandawiti wala kwang'enda.
Jesus answered and said to them: Although I bear witness of myself, my testimony is certain, because I know whence I came, and whither I go. But ye do not know, whence I came, and whither I go.
15 Mwenga muntoza kwa maholu ga wantu, kumbiti neni ntoza ndiri muntu.
Ye judge according to the flesh: I judge no one.
16 Ata pantoza, kutoza kwaneni ndo kwa nakaka toziya neni nagweka yangu ndiri Tati yakantumiti neni ndo kapamuhera na neni.
Yet if I Judge, my judgment is certain, because I am not alone, but I and my Father who sent me.
17 Ilembitwi Mumalagaliru genu kwa upitawu wa wantu wawili, shintu shoseri shatutakuliti ndo nakaka.
And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two persons is certain.
18 Neni nankulilanguziya namweni na Tati yakantumiti, kankunanguziya neni viraa.”
I am one: who bear witness of myself, and my Father who sent me, beareth witness of me.
19 Wamkosiya, “Tati gwaku ka koshi?” Yesu kawankula, “Mwenga mumana ndiri neni wala mummana ndiri Tati. Handa memumaniti neni, memumaniti Tati gwangu viraa.”
They say to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus replied, and said to them: Ye neither know me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would also have known my Father.
20 Yesu katakuliti visoweru vyoseri avi kaweriti kankufunda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu pakwegera na lisanduku lya luhanja palitulitwi, Kwahera muntu yakambatiti, toziya saa yakuwi iweriti hayenisoki.
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no one laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
21 Yesu kawagambira kayi, “Hang'endi zyangu, mwenga hamnsakuli, kumbiti hamhowi muvidoda vyenu. Kwang'enda neni, mwenga hapeni mwezi kusoka.”
Again Jesus said to them: I go away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins. And whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Su, Watuwa Washiyawudi watakula, “Hashi, ina mana hakalilagi mweni? Mbona katakula, Kwang'enda neni mwenga hapeni msoki?”
The Jews said: Is he about to kill himself, that he should say, Whither I go ye cannot come?
23 Yesu kawagambira, “Mwenga mlawa palaa pasipanu, neni ndawa kumpindi, mwenga ndo mwa wa pasipanu, neni hapeni weri gwa pasipanu.
And he said to them: Ye are from below, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world
24 Ayi ndo mana nuwagambireni hamhowi muvidoda vyenu. Na hamhowi muvidoda vyenu handa pamjimira ndiri ‘Neni ndo mweni’.”
I said to you, That ye will die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am he, ye will die in your sins.
25 Nawomberi wamkosiya, “Gwenga gwa gaa?” Yesu kawankula, “Neni ndo handa vilii nuwagambireni kwanjira mwanzu!
The Jews said to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: Although I have begun to converse with you,
26 Nana gavuwa ga kutakula kwa mwenga na vya kuwatoza. Kumbiti uliya yakantumiti ndo nakaka, naneni nuwagambira wantu wa pasipanu shitwatira shampikiniriti kulawa kwakuwi.”
I have yet many things to say and to Judge concerning you. But he that sent me is true: and the things which I have heard from him, them I speak in the world.
27 Wavimana ndiri handa Yesu kaweriti pakatakula nawomberi kumhusu Tati.
And they did not know, that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Su, Yesu kawagambira, “pammalira kala kumubikula Mwana gwa Muntu, panu ndo pamfira kumana handa ‘Neni Ndo mweni’, na handa ndenda ndiri shoseri namweni neni, ira ntakula hera galii Tati gakafunditi.
Jesus said to them again: When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then will ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing from my own pleasure, but as my Father taught me, so I speak.
29 Yakantumiti kapamuhera naneni, yomberi kandeka ndiri gweka yangu, kwani mashaka goseri ntenditi galii yagamfiriziya.”
And he that sent me, is with me; and my Father hath not left me alone, because I do, at all times, that which pleaseth him.
30 Wantu wavuwa wampikiniriti Yesu vyakatakuliti wamjimiriti.
And when he had spoken these things, many believed on him.
31 Yesu kawagambira Wayawudi walii yawamjimiriti, “Handa pamgajimila mafundu gangu hamuweri wafundwa wangu nakaka,
And Jesus said to those Jews who believed on him: If ye continue in my word, ye will be truly my disciples.
32 hamuumani unakaka na unakaka hawuwapanani ulekeziwu.”
And ye will know the truth; and the truth will make you free.
33 Nawomberi wamwankula, “Twenga ndo walelwa wa Aburahamu, na hatwenipati ng'o kuwera wamanda wa muntu yoseri. Gwana mana gaa kutakula, ‘Hamuweri walekiziwa?’”
They say to him: We are the seed of Abraham, and never were in servitude to any man; and how sayest thou, Ye will be freemen?
34 Yesu kawankula, “Nakaka nuwagambireni, kila muntu yakatenda vidoda ndo mmanda gwa vidoda.
Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, That whoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
35 Mmanda hapeni kalikali ukaya kwa mtuwa gwakuwi pamashaka goseri, kumbiti mwana kalikala ukaya mashaka goseri. (aiōn g165)
And a servant abideth not for ever in the house; but the Son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Mwana pakawapanana ulekeziwu, hamuweri walekiziwa nakaka.
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will really be free men.
37 Nuvimana handa mwenga ndo walelwa wa Aburahamu. Ata hangu, mfira kundaga kwa toziya hamjimili ndiri mafundu gangu.
I know that ye are the children of Abraham; but ye seek to kill me, because ye do not acquiesce in my word.
38 Neni ntakula galii yakananguziyiti Tati, kumbiti mwenga mtenda galii yakawagambireni Tati gwenu.”
I speak that which I have seen with my Father, and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 Womberi wamwankula, “Twenga ndo twawana gwa Aburahamu!” Yesu kawagambira, “Handa mwenga mwawana wa Aburahamu, memulitendi lihengu lyakatenditi Aburahamu,
They answered, and said to him: Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them: If ye were children of Abraham, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 vyoseri avi vyantenditi nuwagambireni unakaka mpikaniriti kulawa kwa Mlungu, ata hangu, mwenga mfira kundaga. Aburahamu katenda hangu ndiri!
But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
41 Mwenga mtenda shitwatira shiraa shilii shakatenditi Tati gwenu.” Womberi wamgambira, “Mlungu mweni ndo Tati gwetu, twenga twawana ndiri wa kunja.”
But ye do the works of your father. They say to him: We are not the offspring of whoredom; we have one Father, God.
42 Yesu kawagambira, handa Mlungu kangaweriti Tati gwenu, munganfiriti neni, toziya neni ndawiti kwa Mlungu na vinu napanu. Niza ndiri kwa uwezu wangu namweni, ira yomberi kantumiti.
Jesus said to them: If God were your Father, ye would love me; for I proceeded and came from God: I did not come of my own accord, but he sent me.
43 Hashi mwerewa ndiri gantakula aga? Ayi ndo toziya mweza ndiri kuwupikanira ujumbi waneni.
Why do ye not understand my speech? It is because ye cannot hear my speech.
44 Mwenga ndo mwawana wa tati gwenu, Shetani na mufira hera kutenda lumatamata lwa Tati gwenu. Yomberi kaweriti mlaga kwanjira mwanzu, kahera msimamu gwa nakaka, tembera nakaka kwahera mngati mwakuwi. Kila mpayu, zitakulwa kulawirirana na ntambu yakuwi ya munshimba, yomberi ndo mpayu na tati gwa mpayu.
Ye are of your father, the calumniator; and the lust of your father ye are disposed to do. He was from the beginning a manslayer, and abode not in the truth; for the truth is not in him, and when he speaketh a lie he speaketh from himself, for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 Kumbiti neni nukugambirani nakaka, toziya ayi hashi munjimira ndiri neni.
But me, because I speak the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Gani pakati penu yakaweza kulanguziya weri neni nana vidoda? Handa panuwagambira nakaka, kwa shishi munjimira ndiri?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 Yakalawa kwa Mlungu kapikaniraga visoweru vya Mlungu. Mwenga, mlawa ndiri kwa Mlungu, na ayi ndo toziya ya mwenga kupikinira ndiri.
He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
48 Wayawudi wamkosiya Yesu, “Hashi, hapeni tutakuli nakaka handa gwenga ndo Msamariya na kayi gwana shamshera?”
The Jews answered, and said to him: Did we not well say, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Yesu kankula, “Neni nahera shamshera, neni numgohilili Tati gwangu, kumbiti mwenga mgohalira ndiri.
Jesus said to them: I have no demon: but I honor God; and ye contemn me.
50 Neni nsakula ndiri ligoya lyangu namweni, kumbiti kwana yumu mweni kankusakula ligoya ali, nayomberi ndo mtoza.
But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh it, and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say to you: He that keepeth my word, will never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Su, Wayawudi wamgambira, “Vinu tuvimana nakaka handa gwenga gwana washamshera! Aburahamu kahowiti na wambuyi wa Mlungu viraa wahowiti, nagwenga gutakula eti, ‘Yakajimira ujumbi waku hakalikali mashaka goseri!’ (aiōn g165)
The Jews say to him: Now we know, that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; yet thou sayest: He that keepeth my word, will never taste death. (aiōn g165)
53 Tati gwetu Aburahamu kahowa, hashi gulitenda gwamkulu kuliku tati gwetu Aburahamu, ndo gwenga? Ata wambuyi wa Mlungu wahowiti. Hashi gwenga gulitenda gwa gaa?”
Art thou greater than our father Abraham who is dead, or than the prophets who died? What dost thou make thyself?
54 Yesu kawankula, “Panilikwisa namweni, uweru wangu shintu ndiri. Yumu yakankwisa ndo Tati gwangu, kila muntu katakula Mlungu gwetu.
Jesus said to them: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say, He is our God.
55 Mwenga hapeni mpati kummana, kumbiti neni nummana. Na, pantankula nummana ndiri, hanuwi mpayu gambira mwenga. Kumbiti neni nummana na njimira shisoweru shakuwi.
And ye know him not. But I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar, like you: but I do know him, and I observe his word.
56 Tati gwetu Aburahamu, kanemeleriti pakaliwoni lishaka lyangu na yomberi kaliwoniti, kanemelera.”
Abraham your father desired to see my day: and he saw it, and rejoiced.
57 Su, Wayawudi wamgambira, “Gwenga gwankali kusoka vinja lilongu muhanu, nagwenga gumwona Aburahamu?”
The Jews say to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Yesu kawagambira, “Nakaka nuwagambirani, pamberi Aburahamu kangali kwiwuka, ndo Neni.”
Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, That before Abraham existed, I was.
59 Panu wasola mabuwi wamgumangi yomberi, kumbiti Yesu kalififa, kalawa Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
And they took up stones to stone him. But Jesus concealed himself, and went out of the temple, and passed along among them, and went away.
