Yohani 8
1 Yesu kagenditi kulugongu lwa Mzeituni.
And at dawn he came again to the temple,
2 Shirawu yakuwi mandawira putiputi kagenditi kayi Kunumba nkulu ya Mlungu. Wantu woseri wamgendera, nayomberi kalivaga kanja kankufunda.
and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
3 Wafunda gwa malagaliru na Mafalisayu wamjegera mdala yumu yawambatiti ugoni pakahumba. Wamgolusiya pakati pawu.
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 Wamkosia, “mfunda! Mdala ayu yawambatiti ugoni kaweriti kankuhumba.
they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
5 Malagaliru ga Musa katulagalira mdala handa ayu wamgumi mabuhi. Su, gwenga gutakula hashi?”
and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
6 Watakuliti hangu kwa kumjera Yesu, wapati shanzu sha kumsitaki. Yesu kasuntama, kalemba mlitapaka kwa shyala.
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 Pawawongiriti kumkosiya, Yesu kagolokiti, kawagambira “Muntu yakeniweri na vidoda pakati penu kiwi gwa kwanja kumguma libuwi.”
and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;'
8 Shakapanu kasuntamala kayi, kaweriti kankulemba mlitapaka.
and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
9 Pawapikaniriti avi, wanja kuwuka yumuyumu, pawalongolera wazewi. Yesu kasigala gweka yakuwi na mdala ulii kagoloka palaa palii.
and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 Yesu kaligolosiya kamkosiyiti mdala ayu, “Wakoshi wantu walii? Hashi kwahera hata yumu yakakutoziti?”
And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon 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 one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
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.”
Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'
13 Su, Mafalisayu wamgambira, “Gwenga gulilanguziya gamweni, hangu upitawu waku ufaa ndiri.”
The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
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, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.
15 Mwenga muntoza kwa maholu ga wantu, kumbiti neni ntoza ndiri muntu.
'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
16 Ata pantoza, kutoza kwaneni ndo kwa nakaka toziya neni nagweka yangu ndiri Tati yakantumiti neni ndo kapamuhera na neni.
and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
17 Ilembitwi Mumalagaliru genu kwa upitawu wa wantu wawili, shintu shoseri shatutakuliti ndo nakaka.
and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
18 Neni nankulilanguziya namweni na Tati yakantumiti, kankunanguziya neni viraa.”
I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify 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 said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'
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 sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;
21 Yesu kawagambira kayi, “Hang'endi zyangu, mwenga hamnsakuli, kumbiti hamhowi muvidoda vyenu. Kwang'enda neni, mwenga hapeni mwezi kusoka.”
therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'
22 Su, Watuwa Washiyawudi watakula, “Hashi, ina mana hakalilagi mweni? Mbona katakula, Kwang'enda neni mwenga hapeni msoki?”
The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to 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 beneath, 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, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.'
25 Nawomberi wamkosiya, “Gwenga gwa gaa?” Yesu kawankula, “Neni ndo handa vilii nuwagambireni kwanjira mwanzu!
They said, therefore, to him, 'Thou — who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;
26 Nana gavuwa ga kutakula kwa mwenga na vya kuwatoza. Kumbiti uliya yakantumiti ndo nakaka, naneni nuwagambira wantu wa pasipanu shitwatira shampikiniriti kulawa kwakuwi.”
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 Wavimana ndiri handa Yesu kaweriti pakatakula nawomberi kumhusu Tati.
They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
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, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;
29 Yakantumiti kapamuhera naneni, yomberi kandeka ndiri gweka yangu, kwani mashaka goseri ntenditi galii yagamfiriziya.”
and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'
30 Wantu wavuwa wampikiniriti Yesu vyakatakuliti wamjimiriti.
As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
31 Yesu kawagambira Wayawudi walii yawamjimiriti, “Handa pamgajimila mafundu gangu hamuweri wafundwa wangu nakaka,
Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,
32 hamuumani unakaka na unakaka hawuwapanani ulekeziwu.”
and the truth shall 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 answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?'
34 Yesu kawankula, “Nakaka nuwagambireni, kila muntu yakatenda vidoda ndo mmanda gwa vidoda.
Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,
35 Mmanda hapeni kalikali ukaya kwa mtuwa gwakuwi pamashaka goseri, kumbiti mwana kalikala ukaya mashaka goseri. (aiōn g165)
and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; (aiōn g165)
36 Mwana pakawapanana ulekeziwu, hamuweri walekiziwa nakaka.
if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
37 Nuvimana handa mwenga ndo walelwa wa Aburahamu. Ata hangu, mfira kundaga kwa toziya hamjimili ndiri mafundu gangu.
'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;
38 Neni ntakula galii yakananguziyiti Tati, kumbiti mwenga mtenda galii yakawagambireni Tati gwenu.”
I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.'
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 saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;
40 vyoseri avi vyantenditi nuwagambireni unakaka mpikaniriti kulawa kwa Mlungu, ata hangu, mwenga mfira kundaga. Aburahamu katenda hangu ndiri!
and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;
41 Mwenga mtenda shitwatira shiraa shilii shakatenditi Tati gwenu.” Womberi wamgambira, “Mlungu mweni ndo Tati gwetu, twenga twawana ndiri wa kunja.”
ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — 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 then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;
43 Hashi mwerewa ndiri gantakula aga? Ayi ndo toziya mweza ndiri kuwupikanira ujumbi waneni.
wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
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 a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.
45 Kumbiti neni nukugambirani nakaka, toziya ayi hashi munjimira ndiri neni.
'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 Gani pakati penu yakaweza kulanguziya weri neni nana vidoda? Handa panuwagambira nakaka, kwa shishi munjimira ndiri?
Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore 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 who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'
48 Wayawudi wamkosiya Yesu, “Hashi, hapeni tutakuli nakaka handa gwenga ndo Msamariya na kayi gwana shamshera?”
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
49 Yesu kankula, “Neni nahera shamshera, neni numgohilili Tati gwangu, kumbiti mwenga mgohalira ndiri.
Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;
50 Neni nsakula ndiri ligoya lyangu namweni, kumbiti kwana yumu mweni kankusakula ligoya ali, nayomberi ndo mtoza.
and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' (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, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age! (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 died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'
54 Yesu kawankula, “Panilikwisa namweni, uweru wangu shintu ndiri. Yumu yakankwisa ndo Tati gwangu, kila muntu katakula Mlungu gwetu.
Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your 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 have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;
56 Tati gwetu Aburahamu, kanemeleriti pakaliwoni lishaka lyangu na yomberi kaliwoniti, kanemelera.”
Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
57 Su, Wayawudi wamgambira, “Gwenga gwankali kusoka vinja lilongu muhanu, nagwenga gumwona Aburahamu?”
The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'
58 Yesu kawagambira, “Nakaka nuwagambirani, pamberi Aburahamu kangali kwiwuka, ndo Neni.”
Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;'
59 Panu wasola mabuwi wamgumangi yomberi, kumbiti Yesu kalififa, kalawa Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
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.
