Johani 7
1 Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akafamba muGarirea, asingadi kuenda kuJudhea nokuti vaJudha vaikoko vakanga vachitsvaka kumuuraya.
After these things Jesus resided in Galilee: for He would not appear in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.
2 Asi Mutambo waMatumba wavaJudha wakati wava pedyo,
Now the Jews feast called the feast of tabernacles was near;
3 vanunʼuna vaJesu vakati kwaari, “Munofanira kubva pano muende kuJudhea, kuitira kuti vadzidzi venyu vagoona zvishamiso zvamunoita.
his brethren therefore said, Depart from hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples there also may see the works which thou performest.
4 Hakuna munhu anoda kuva nomukurumbira anoita zvinhu zvake muchivande. Sezvo muchiita zvinhu izvi, chizviratidzai imi kunyika.”
For no man doth any thing in secret, who is himself desirous to be known in public. As thou dost these wonderful things, make thyself known to the world.
5 Nokuti kunyange vanunʼuna vake chaivo vakanga vasingatendi kwaari.
For neither did his brethren believe in Him.
6 Naizvozvo Jesu akati kwavari, “Nguva yangu yakanaka haisati yasvika; asi kwamuri, nguva ipi zvayo yakangonaka.
Then saith Jesus unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always alike ready; for the world cannot hate you:
7 Nyika haigoni kukuvengai, asi ini inondivenga nokuti ndinopupura kuti zvainoita zvakaipa.
but me it hates, because I bear my testimony concerning it, that it's deeds are evil.
8 Endai henyu imi kuMutambo. Ini handisati ndoenda kuMutambo uyu, nokuti nguva yakanaka kwandiri haisati yasvika.”
Go ye up to this feast as soon as ye please; for I am not yet going up to it, because my time is not yet fully come.
9 Akati areva izvi, akagara muGarirea.
And after He had said these things unto them, He stayed a while in Galilee.
10 Zvisinei hazvo, shure kwokuenda kwavanunʼuna vake kuMutambo, iye akazoendawo, kwete pachena, asi muchivande.
But when his brethren were gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not in a public manner but as it were in private.
11 Zvino vaJudha vakamutsvaka uye vakabvunza paMutambo kuti, “Murume uya aripiko?”
The Jews therefore sought for Him at the feast, and said, Where is He?
12 Vanhu vazhinji vaingozeverana nezvake kwose kwose. Vamwe vaiti, “Munhu akanaka,” vamwe vachiti, “Kwete, anonyengera vanhu.”
And there was much murmuring among the people concerning Him: for some said, He is a good man; others said, No: He deceiveth the people.
13 Asi kwakanga kusina munhu aitaura izvozvo pachena nokuda kwokutya vaJudha.
No one however spake openly in favor of Him, for fear of the Jews.
14 Mutambo wakati wava pakati, Jesu ndipo paakazokwidza kutemberi uye akatanga kudzidzisa.
But when it was now about 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?”
And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?
16 Jesu akapindura akati, “Kudzidzisa kwangu hakuzi kwangu pachangu. Kunobva kuna iye akandituma.
Jesus answered them and said, The doctrine that I teach is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 Kana munhu akasarudza kuita kuda kwaMwari, achazoona kuti kudzidzisa kwangu kunobva kuna Mwari kana kuti ndinongotaura ndoga.
If any man desire to do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18 Uyo anotaura zvake anoita izvozvo kuti azviwanire kukudzwa, asi uyo anoshandira kukudzwa kwaiye akamutuma ndiye munhu wechokwadi; hapana zvokunyengera paari.
He, that speaketh from himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of Him that sent him is true, and there is no imposture 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 yet none of you observeth the law? wherefore else do ye seek to kill me?
20 Vanhu vazhinji vakapindura vakati, “Une dhimoni iwe. Ndianiko anoda kukuuraya?”
The people answered and said, Thou art possessed by a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?
21 Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndakaita chishamiso chimwe chete, asi imi mose muri kushamiswa nazvo.
Jesus answered and said unto them, I performed one miracle on the sabbath, and ye are all amazed at it.
22 Asi nokuda kwokuti Mozisi akakupai kudzingiswa (kunyange zvazvo kusina kubva kuna Mozisi, asi kumadzibaba enyu), imi munodzingisa mwana nomusi weSabata.
Now Moses gave you the law of circumcision, (not that it is originally from Moses, but from the patriarchs, ) and ye circumcise even on the sabbath:
23 Zvino kana mwana achigona kudzingiswa nomusi weSabata kuti murayiro waMozisi urege kuputswa, seiko muchinditsamwira nokuda kwokuti ndaporesa munhu nomusi weSabata?
if then a man receive circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye angry with me, because I made a man perfectly well on the sabbath-day?
24 Regai kutonga nezvinoonekwa zvomunhu, asi tongai zvakarurama.”
Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.
25 Panguva iyoyo vamwe vanhu veJerusarema vakatanga kubvunzana vachiti, “Ko, uyu haasiye murume uya wavari kuedza kuuraya here?
Therefore some of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this He whom they seek to put to death?
26 Hoyu ari pano, ari kutaura zvake pachena, uye havatauri kana shoko kwaari. Ko, vakuru vatenderana kanhi kuti ndiye Kristu?
and here He talketh openly, and they say nothing to Him: Do the rulers indeed know, that this is in truth the Messiah?
27 Asi tinoziva kunobva murume uyu; Kristu paanouya, hakuna munhu achaziva kwaanobva.”
But we know whence this man is; whereas when Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence He is.
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, ye say, and ye know whence I am: now I am not come of myself, but He that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 asi ini ndinomuziva nokuti ndinobva kwaari, uye ndiye akandituma.”
But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He hath sent me.
30 Ipapo vakaedza kumubata, asi hapana munhu akaisa ruoko paari, nokuti nguva yake yakanga ichigere kusvika.
They sought therefore to seize Him, but no one laid hand on Him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 Kunyange zvakadaro, vazhinji pakati pavanhu vakatenda kwaari. Vakati, “Kristu paanouya, achaita zviratidzo zvizhinji kupfuura murume uyu here?”
And many of the people believed on Him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will He do more miracles than this man hath done?
32 VaFarisi vakanzwa vanhu vazhinji vachiita zevezeve rezvinhu zvakadai pamusoro pake. Ipapo vaprista vakuru navaFarisi vakatuma varindi vomutemberi kuti vandomusunga.
Now the pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning Him: and they, with the chief priests, sent officers to seize Him.
33 Jesu akati kwavari, “Ndinongova nemi kwechinguva chiduku, uye mushure maizvozvo ndichazoenda kuna iye akandituma.
Therefore Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while I am to be among you, and then I shall go to Him that sent me.
34 Muchanditsvaka, asi hamuchazondiwani; uye pandinenge ndiri, hamugoni kusvikapo.”
Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, ye cannot come.
35 VaJudha vakataurirana vachiti, “Munhu uyu ari kuda kuenda kupiko kwatisingazomuwani? Achaenda here kuvanhu vedu vakapararira pakati pavaGiriki, agondodzidzisa vaGiriki?
Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? will He go to them that are dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36 Anga achireveiko paati, ‘Muchanditsvaka, asi hamuchazondiwani,’ uye ‘Pandinenge ndiri, imi hamugoni kusvikapo’?”
What is the meaning of this speech, that He said, "Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, ye cannot come?"
37 Pazuva rokupedzisira uye zuva guru roMutambo, Jesu akasimuka akadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti, “Kana pane munhu ane nyota, ngaauye kwandiri azonwa.
And on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If any one thirst, let him come unto me and drink.
38 Ani naani anotenda kwandiri, sezvazvakarehwa muRugwaro, hova dzemvura mhenyu dzichayerera dzichibva mukati make.”
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, rivers of living water shall flow from within him.
39 Nokutaura uku, akanga achireva zvoMweya Mutsvene, uyo waizogamuchirwa navaya vanotenda kwaari. Nokuti Mweya wakanga usati wapiwa, sezvo Jesu akanga asati apinda mukubwinya kwake.
(This He spake of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive; for the holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Vakati vanzwa mashoko ake, vamwe vanhu vakati, “Zvirokwazvo murume uyu muprofita.”
Many of the people therefore, when they heard this discourse, said, This is in truth a prophet.
41 Vamwe vakati, “Ndiye Kristu.” Asi vamwe vakati, “Kristu angabva seiko kuGarirea?
Others said, This is the Messiah. But some said, Shall the Messiah come out of Galilee?
42 Rugwaro harutauri here kuti Kristu achabva kurudzi rwaDhavhidhi uye nokuBheterehema, guta raigara Dhavhidhi?”
Hath not the Scripture said, that Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town whence David was.
43 Nokudaro vanhu vakapesana nokuda kwaJesu.
So there was a division among the people about Him.
44 Vamwe vakada kumubata, asi hapana akaisa ruoko paari.
And some among them would have seized Him: but no one laid hands on Him.
45 Pakupedzisira varindi vetemberi vakadzokera kuvaprista vakuru nokuvaFarisi, vakavabvunza vakati, “Seiko musina kuuya naye kuno?”
Then came the officers to the chief priests and pharisees, and they said, Why have ye not brought Him? and the officers answered,
46 Varindi vakati kwavari, “Hakuna munhu akatombotaura nenzira inoitwa nomurume uyu.”
Never man spake like this man.
47 VaFarisi vakati, “Munoreva kuti atokunyengerai nemiwo?
The pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?
48 Pane mumwe wavatongi kana wavaFarisi ava kutenda kwaari here?
have any of the rulers believed on Him, or of the pharisees?
49 Kwete! Asi vanhu vazhinji ava vasingatongozivi murayiro, vakatukwa ava.”
but these people, who know not the law, are cursed.
50 Nikodhimasi, uya akanga amboenda kuna Jesu uye akanga ari mumwe wavo, akati,
Upon this Nicodemus, (who came to Him by night)
51 “Ko, murayiro wedu unopomera munhu mhosva asina kutanga ambonzwikwa kuti zvionekwe kuti ari kuitei here?”
being one of them, saith to them, Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he hath done?
52 Vakapindura vakati, “Newewo uri weGarirea? Nzvera, uye uchaona kuti hakuna muprofita anobva kuGarirea.”
They replied, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 Ipapo mumwe nomumwe akaenda kumba kwake.
And every man went to his own house.
