Johani 7
1 Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akafamba muGarirea, asingadi kuenda kuJudhea nokuti vaJudha vaikoko vakanga vachitsvaka kumuuraya.
And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Asi Mutambo waMatumba wavaJudha wakati wava pedyo,
Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was near.
3 vanunʼuna vaJesu vakati kwaari, “Munofanira kubva pano muende kuJudhea, kuitira kuti vadzidzi venyu vagoona zvishamiso zvamunoita.
His brothers therefore said to him, Depart from here, and go into Judea so that thy disciples also may see thy works that thou do.
4 Hakuna munhu anoda kuva nomukurumbira anoita zvinhu zvake muchivande. Sezvo muchiita zvinhu izvi, chizviratidzai imi kunyika.”
For no man does anything in secret, and he himself seeks to be in public. If thou do these things, show thyself to the world.
5 Nokuti kunyange vanunʼuna vake chaivo vakanga vasingatendi kwaari.
For not even his brothers believed in him.
6 Naizvozvo Jesu akati kwavari, “Nguva yangu yakanaka haisati yasvika; asi kwamuri, nguva ipi zvayo yakangonaka.
Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet here, but your time is always ready.
7 Nyika haigoni kukuvengai, asi ini inondivenga nokuti ndinopupura kuti zvainoita zvakaipa.
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
8 Endai henyu imi kuMutambo. Ini handisati ndoenda kuMutambo uyu, nokuti nguva yakanaka kwandiri haisati yasvika.”
Go ye up to this feast. I am not yet going to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.
9 Akati areva izvi, akagara muGarirea.
And having said these things to them, he remained in Galilee.
10 Zvisinei hazvo, shure kwokuenda kwavanunʼuna vake kuMutambo, iye akazoendawo, kwete pachena, asi muchivande.
But when his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in private.
11 Zvino vaJudha vakamutsvaka uye vakabvunza paMutambo kuti, “Murume uya aripiko?”
The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
12 Vanhu vazhinji vaingozeverana nezvake kwose kwose. Vamwe vaiti, “Munhu akanaka,” vamwe vachiti, “Kwete, anonyengera vanhu.”
And there was much murmuring among the multitudes about him. Some said, He is a good man, others said, No, but he leads the multitude astray.
13 Asi kwakanga kusina munhu aitaura izvozvo pachena nokuda kwokutya vaJudha.
Yet no man spoke openly about him because of fear of the Jews.
14 Mutambo wakati wava pakati, Jesu ndipo paakazokwidza kutemberi uye akatanga kudzidzisa.
And when it was now in the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
15 VaJudha vakashamiswa uye vakabvunza vakati, “Murume uyu akawana ruzivo rwakadai seiko iye asina kudzidza?”
The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How does this man know scholarly material, not having learned?
16 Jesu akapindura akati, “Kudzidzisa kwangu hakuzi kwangu pachangu. Kunobva kuna iye akandituma.
Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me.
17 Kana munhu akasarudza kuita kuda kwaMwari, achazoona kuti kudzidzisa kwangu kunobva kuna Mwari kana kuti ndinongotaura ndoga.
If any man wants to do his will, he will know about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or I speak from myself.
18 Uyo anotaura zvake anoita izvozvo kuti azviwanire kukudzwa, asi uyo anoshandira kukudzwa kwaiye akamutuma ndiye munhu wechokwadi; hapana zvokunyengera paari.
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, this man is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.
19 Ko, Mozisi haana kukupai murayiro here? Asi hapana kana mumwe wenyu anochengeta murayiro. Seiko muchiedza kundiuraya?”
Did not Moses give you the law, and none of you does the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?
20 Vanhu vazhinji vakapindura vakati, “Une dhimoni iwe. Ndianiko anoda kukuuraya?”
The multitude answered and said, Thou have a demon. Who seeks to kill thee?
21 Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndakaita chishamiso chimwe chete, asi imi mose muri kushamiswa nazvo.
Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this.
22 Asi nokuda kwokuti Mozisi akakupai kudzingiswa (kunyange zvazvo kusina kubva kuna Mozisi, asi kumadzibaba enyu), imi munodzingisa mwana nomusi weSabata.
Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on a sabbath.
23 Zvino kana mwana achigona kudzingiswa nomusi weSabata kuti murayiro waMozisi urege kuputswa, seiko muchinditsamwira nokuda kwokuti ndaporesa munhu nomusi weSabata?
If a man receives circumcision on a sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be loosed, are ye angry with me because I made a man entirely well on a sabbath?
24 Regai kutonga nezvinoonekwa zvomunhu, asi tongai zvakarurama.”
Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Panguva iyoyo vamwe vanhu veJerusarema vakatanga kubvunzana vachiti, “Ko, uyu haasiye murume uya wavari kuedza kuuraya here?
Therefore some of the Jerusalemites said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26 Hoyu ari pano, ari kutaura zvake pachena, uye havatauri kana shoko kwaari. Ko, vakuru vatenderana kanhi kuti ndiye Kristu?
And lo, he speaks in public, and they say nothing to him. Perhaps the rulers really know that this really is the Christ?
27 Asi tinoziva kunobva murume uyu; Kristu paanouya, hakuna munhu achaziva kwaanobva.”
However we know this man, where he is from, but when the Christ comes, no man knows where he is from.
28 Ipapo Jesu, achiri kudzidzisa ari mutemberi, akadanidzira achiti, “Hongu, munondiziva, uye munoziva kwandinobva. Handisi pano nokuda kwangu, asi uyo akandituma ndiye wechokwadi. Imi hamumuzivi,
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know where I am from? And I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 asi ini ndinomuziva nokuti ndinobva kwaari, uye ndiye akandituma.”
I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.
30 Ipapo vakaedza kumubata, asi hapana munhu akaisa ruoko paari, nokuti nguva yake yakanga ichigere kusvika.
They sought therefore to seize him, and yet no man laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.
31 Kunyange zvakadaro, vazhinji pakati pavanhu vakatenda kwaari. Vakati, “Kristu paanouya, achaita zviratidzo zvizhinji kupfuura murume uyu here?”
But many from the crowd believed in him, and they said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these that this man did?
32 VaFarisi vakanzwa vanhu vazhinji vachiita zevezeve rezvinhu zvakadai pamusoro pake. Ipapo vaprista vakuru navaFarisi vakatuma varindi vomutemberi kuti vandomusunga.
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent subordinates so that they might take him.
33 Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndinongova nemi kwechinguva chiduku, uye mushure maizvozvo ndichazoenda kuna iye akandituma.
Jesus therefore said, Yet a little time I am with you, and then I go to him who sent me.
34 Muchanditsvaka, asi hamuchazondiwani; uye pandinenge ndiri, hamugoni kusvikapo.”
Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and where I am, ye cannot come.
35 VaJudha vakataurirana vachiti, “Munhu uyu ari kuda kuenda kupiko kwatisingazomuwani? Achaenda here kuvanhu vedu vakapararira pakati pavaGiriki, agondodzidzisa vaGiriki?
The Jews therefore said among themselves, Where is this man going to go that we will not find him? Is he going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 Anga achireveiko paati, ‘Muchanditsvaka, asi hamuchazondiwani,’ uye ‘Pandinenge ndiri, imi hamugoni kusvikapo’?”
What is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and, Where I am, ye cannot come?
37 Pazuva rokupedzisira uye zuva guru roMutambo, Jesu akasimuka akadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti, “Kana pane munhu ane nyota, ngaauye kwandiri azonwa.
Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus had stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
38 Ani naani anotenda kwandiri, sezvazvakarehwa muRugwaro, hova dzemvura mhenyu dzichayerera dzichibva mukati make.”
He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.
39 Nokutaura uku, akanga achireva zvoMweya Mutsvene, uyo waizogamuchirwa navaya vanotenda kwaari. Nokuti Mweya wakanga usati wapiwa, sezvo Jesu akanga asati apinda mukubwinya kwake.
But he spoke this about the Spirit that those who believe in him were going to receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Vakati vanzwa mashoko ake, vamwe vanhu vakati, “Zvirokwazvo murume uyu muprofita.”
Many from the multitude therefore, when they heard the saying, said, This is truly the prophet.
41 Vamwe vakati, “Ndiye Kristu.” Asi vamwe vakati, “Kristu angabva seiko kuGarirea?
Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, For does the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Rugwaro harutauri here kuti Kristu achabva kurudzi rwaDhavhidhi uye nokuBheterehema, guta raigara Dhavhidhi?”
Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?
43 Nokudaro vanhu vakapesana nokuda kwaJesu.
So there became a division among the multitude because of him.
44 Vamwe vakada kumubata, asi hapana akaisa ruoko paari.
And some of them wanted to take him, but no man laid hands on him.
45 Pakupedzisira varindi vetemberi vakadzokera kuvaprista vakuru nokuvaFarisi, vakavabvunza vakati, “Seiko musina kuuya naye kuno?”
The subordinates therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And those men said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
46 Varindi vakati kwavari, “Hakuna munhu akatombotaura nenzira inoitwa nomurume uyu.”
The subordinates answered, A man never so spoke like this man.
47 VaFarisi vakati, “Munoreva kuti atokunyengerai nemiwo?
The Pharisees therefore answered them, Have ye not also been led astray?
48 Pane mumwe wavatongi kana wavaFarisi ava kutenda kwaari here?
Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
49 Kwete! Asi vanhu vazhinji ava vasingatongozivi murayiro, vakatukwa ava.”
But this multitude that does not know the law are accursed.
50 Nikodhimasi, uya akanga amboenda kuna Jesu uye akanga ari mumwe wavo, akati,
Nicodemus says to them (he who came to him by night, being one of them),
51 “Ko, murayiro wedu unopomera munhu mhosva asina kutanga ambonzwikwa kuti zvionekwe kuti ari kuitei here?”
Does our law judge a man, unless it first may hear from himself and know what he does?
52 Vakapindura vakati, “Newewo uri weGarirea? Nzvera, uye uchaona kuti hakuna muprofita anobva kuGarirea.”
They answered and said to him, Are thou also from Galilee? Search and see, that out of Galilee arises no prophet.
53 Ipapo mumwe nomumwe akaenda kumba kwake.
And each man went to his house.
