Johani 8
1 Asi Jesu akaenda kuGomo reMiorivhi.
JESUS went unto the mount of Olives.
2 Panguva dzamambakwedza akazviratidzazve mutemberi, vanhu vakamuunganira, uye akagara pasi kuti avadzidzise.
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 Vadzidzisi vomurayiro navaFarisi vakapinda nomukadzi akanga abatwa achiita upombwe. Vakamuita kuti amire pamberi peboka
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 uye vakati kuna Jesu, “Mudzidzisi, mukadzi uyu abatwa achiita upombwe.
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 MuMurayiro Mozisi akatirayira kuti titake namabwe vakadzi vakadai. Zvino imi munoti kudii?”
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 Vakanga vachishandisa mubvunzo uyu kuti vamuteye, vawane hwaro hwokumupa mhosva. Asi Jesu akakotama akatanga kunyora pasi nomunwe wake.
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 Vakati varamba vachimubvunza, akatwasuka akati kwavari, “Kana pane asina chivi pakati penyu, ngaave iye wokutanga kupotsera dombo kwaari.”
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 Akakotamazve akanyora pasi.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 Vakati vanzwa izvi, vose vakatanga kubva vachiita mumwe mumwe, kutanga vakuru, kusvikira Jesu asara oga, uye mukadzi achakangomirapo.
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 Jesu akatwasuka akati kwaari, “Mai, varipiko vaya vanga vachikupomera mhosva? Hapana akutonga here?”
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 Iye akati, “Hapana, Ishe.” Jesu akati, “Neniwo handikupi mhosva. Zvino chienda, uye usiye upenyu hwako hwechivi.”
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Jesu achitaurazve navanhu, akati, “Ndini chiedza chenyika. Ani naani anonditevera haangatongofambi murima, asi achava nechiedza choupenyu.”
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 VaFarisi vakamupikisa vachiti, “Hezvo, uri kuratidza wani kuti unozvipupurira pachako; uchapupu hwako hahuna maturo.”
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14 Jesu akapindura akati, “Kunyange dai ndikazvipupurira pachangu, uchapupu hwangu ndohwechokwadi, nokuti ndinoziva kwandakabva uye nokwandinoenda. Asi imi hamuzivi kwandinobva kana kwandinoenda.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15 Munotonga nameso enyama; ini handitongi munhu.
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 Asi kana ndikatonga, kutonga kwangu kwakarurama, nokuti handisi ndoga. Ndinotonga naBaba, vakandituma.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 Mumurayiro wenyu makanyorwa kuti kupupura kwavanhu vaviri ndokwechokwadi.
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Ini ndini ndinozvipupurira pachangu; mumwe anondipupurira ndiBaba, vakandituma.”
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 Ipapo vakamubvunza vakati, “Baba vako varipiko?” Jesu akapindura akati, “Hamundizivi ini kana Baba vangu. Dai maindiziva mungadai maizivawo Baba vangu.”
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
20 Akataura mashoko aya paakanga achidzidzisa ari mutemberi pedyo nenzvimbo yaiiswa zvipo. Asi hapana munhu akamubata, nokuti nguva yake yakanga isati yasvika.
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21 Jesu akatizve kwavari, “Ndiri kuenda, uye imi muchanditsvaka, uye muchafira muzvivi zvenyu. Kwandinoenda, imi hamungauyiko.”
Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Izvi zvakaita kuti vaJudha vabvunzane vachiti, “Achazviuraya here? Ndizvo zvaanoreva here zvaanoti, ‘Kwandinoenda, imi hamungauyiko?’”
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 Asi akaenderera mberi achiti, “Imi muri vapasi; ini ndinobva kumusoro. Muri venyika ino; ini handisi wenyika ino.
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Ndakuudzai kuti muchafira muzvivi zvenyu; kana musingatendi kuti ndini iye, zvirokwazvo muchafira muzvivi zvenyu.”
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
25 Vakati kwaari, “Ndiwe aniko?” Jesu akapindura akati, “Izvozvo zvandanguri ndataura kare kuti ndini iye.
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 Ndine zvizhinji zvandinoda kutonga pamusoro penyu. Asi uyo akandituma akavimbika, uye zvandakanzwa kwaari ndizvo zvandinoudza nyika.”
I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27 Havana kunzwisisa kuti akanga achivaudza nezvaBaba.
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Saka Jesu akati kwavari, “Pamuchasimudza Mwanakomana woMunhu, ipapo ndipo pamuchaziva kuti ndini iye, uye kuti handina chinhu chandinoita ndoga asi ndinotaura zvandakadzidziswa naBaba zvoga.
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29 Uyo akandituma aneni; haana kundisiya ndiri ndoga, nokuti ndinogara ndichiita zvinomufadza.”
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 Kunyange panguva yaakanga achitaura, vazhinji vakatenda kwaari.
As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Jesu akati kuvaJudha vakanga vatenda kwaari, “Kana muchiramba muri mudzidziso yangu, muri vadzidzi vangu zvirokwazvo.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 Ipapo muchaziva zvokwadi, uye zvokwadi ichakusunungurai.”
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 Ivo vakamupindura vachiti, “Isu tiri zvizvarwa zvaAbhurahama uye hatina kumbova varanda vomumwe munhu. Ungareva sei kuti tichasunungurwa?”
They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, mumwe nomumwe anotadza ndiye muranda wechivi.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 Zvino muranda haagari mumhuri nokusingaperi, asi mwanakomana ndiye anogaramo nokusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Saka kana Mwanakomana achikusunungurai, muchava vakasununguka kwazvo.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 Ndinoziva kuti muri zvizvarwa zvaAbhurahama. Asi munotsvaka kundiuraya, nokuti shoko rangu harina nzvimbo mamuri.
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 Ndiri kukuudzai zvandakaona pamberi paBaba vangu, uye imi munoita zvamakanzwa kuna baba venyu.”
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 Ivo vakati, “Abhurahama ndivo baba vedu.” Jesu akati, “Dai maiva vana vaAbhurahama, maidai muchiita zvinhu zvakanga zvichiitwa naAbhurahama.
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 Izvozvi muri kutsvaka kundiuraya, munhu akuudzai chokwadi chandakanzwa kuna Mwari. Abhurahama haana kuita zvinhu zvakadai.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Muri kuita zvinhu zvinoitwa nababa venyu.” Vakapindura vakati, “Isu hatisi vana vakaberekwa muupombwe. Baba vatinavo isu ndiye Mwari bedzi.”
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesu akati kwavari, “Dai Mwari aiva Baba venyu, mungadai maindida, nokuti ndakabva kuna Mwari uye iye zvino ndiri pano. Handina kungouya pachangu; asi ndivo vakandituma.
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Seiko musinganzwisisi kutaura kwangu? Nokuti hamugoni kunzwa zvandinotaura.
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Imi muri vababa venyu, dhiabhori, uye munoda kuita kuda kwababa venyu. Akanga ari muurayi kubva pakutanga, haamiri muzvokwadi, nokuti maari hamuna zvokwadi. Kana achireva nhema, ndiwo mutauro wokwake iwoyo, nokuti ndiye murevi wenhema uye Baba vadzo.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 Asi nokuda kwokuti ndinotaura chokwadi, imi hamutendi kwandiri!
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Ndiani pakati penyu angaratidza kukanganisa kwangu? Kana ndichitaura chokwadi, seiko musinganditendi?
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 Uyo ari waMwari anonzwa zvinorehwa naMwari. Chinoita kuti murege kunzwa ndechokuti imi hamusi vaMwari.”
He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48 VaJudha vakamupindura vakati, “Hatina kutaura chokwadi here patakati uri muSamaria uye kuti une dhimoni?”
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesu akati, “Handina kubatwa nedhimoni ini, asi ndinokudza Baba vangu uye imi munondizvidza.
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 Handizvitsvakiri kukudzwa; asi aripo mumwe anotsvaka kukudzwa, uye ndiye mutongi.
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Ipapo vaJudha vakati kwaari, “Tinoziva zvino kuti une dhimoni iwe! Abhurahama akafa navaprofita vakafawo, asi iwe unoti kana munhu akachengeta shoko rako, haangatongoraviri rufu. (aiōn g165)
Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. (aiōn g165)
53 Ko, iwe uri mukuru kuna baba vedu Abhurahama here? Ivo vakafa, uye vaprofita vakafawo. Unofunga kuti iwe ndiwe ani?”
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesu akapindura akati, “Kana ini ndichizvirumbidza, kuzvikudza kwangu hakuna maturo. Baba vangu, avo vamunoti ndivo Mwari wenyu, ndivo vanondikudza.
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Kunyange musingavazivi, ini ndinovaziva. Dai ndanga ndati handivazivi, ndingadai ndava murevi wenhema semi, asi ndinovaziva uye ndinochengeta shoko ravo.
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Baba venyu Abhurahama vakafara pavakafunga kuti vachaona zuva rangu; vakariona uye vakafara.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 VaJudha vakati, “Iwe hausati watombova namakore makumi mashanu okuzvarwa, asi unoti iwe wakaona Abhurahama!”
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, Abhurahama asati azvarwa ini ndiripo!”
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Ipapo, vakanonga matombo kuti vamutake, asi Jesu akazvivanza, akabuda mutemberi.
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
