Johani 8
1 Asi Jesu akaenda kuGomo reMiorivhi.
but, Jesus, went unto the Mount of Olives.
2 Panguva dzamambakwedza akazviratidzazve mutemberi, vanhu vakamuunganira, uye akagara pasi kuti avadzidzise.
And, early in the morning, again, came he into the temple, and all the people were coming unto him; and, sitting down, he began to teach them.
3 Vadzidzisi vomurayiro navaFarisi vakapinda nomukadzi akanga abatwa achiita upombwe. Vakamuita kuti amire pamberi peboka
And the Scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman, caught, in adultery; and, setting her in the midst,
4 uye vakati kuna Jesu, “Mudzidzisi, mukadzi uyu abatwa achiita upombwe.
they say unto him—Teacher! this woman, hath been caught in the very act of committing adultery!
5 MuMurayiro Mozisi akatirayira kuti titake namabwe vakadzi vakadai. Zvino imi munoti kudii?”
Now, in the law, Moses, [unto us] gave command to stone, such as these. What, then, dost, thou, say?
6 Vakanga vachishandisa mubvunzo uyu kuti vamuteye, vawane hwaro hwokumupa mhosva. Asi Jesu akakotama akatanga kunyora pasi nomunwe wake.
[This, however, they were saying, by way of testing him, —that they might have whereof to accuse him.] But, Jesus, stooping down, with his finger, wrote in the ground.
7 Vakati varamba vachimubvunza, akatwasuka akati kwavari, “Kana pane asina chivi pakati penyu, ngaave iye wokutanga kupotsera dombo kwaari.”
When, however, they still continued questioning him, he lifted himself up and said [unto them]—He of you, that is without sin, let him first cast at her a stone;
8 Akakotamazve akanyora pasi.
and, again stooping down, he wrote in the ground.
9 Vakati vanzwa izvi, vose vakatanga kubva vachiita mumwe mumwe, kutanga vakuru, kusvikira Jesu asara oga, uye mukadzi achakangomirapo.
And, they who heard, began to go out, one by one, beginning from the elders, —and he was left, alone; the woman also, being, in the midst.
10 Jesu akatwasuka akati kwaari, “Mai, varipiko vaya vanga vachikupomera mhosva? Hapana akutonga here?”
And lifting himself up, Jesus said unto her—Woman, where are they? Hath, no one, condemned thee?
11 Iye akati, “Hapana, Ishe.” Jesu akati, “Neniwo handikupi mhosva. Zvino chienda, uye usiye upenyu hwako hwechivi.”
And, she, said—No one, Sir! And Jesus said—Neither do, I, condemn thee, —be going thy way: Henceforth, be sinning, no more.
12 Jesu achitaurazve navanhu, akati, “Ndini chiedza chenyika. Ani naani anonditevera haangatongofambi murima, asi achava nechiedza choupenyu.”
Again, therefore, unto them, spake Jesus, saying—I, am the light of the world: He that followeth me, shall in nowise 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, concerning thyself, bearest witness: thy witness, 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—Even though, I, bear witness concerning myself, true, is my witness, because I know whence I came, and whither I go; but, ye, know not whence I come, and whither I go.
15 Munotonga nameso enyama; ini handitongi munhu.
Ye, according to the flesh, do judge: I, am judging no one.
16 Asi kana ndikatonga, kutonga kwangu kwakarurama, nokuti handisi ndoga. Ndinotonga naBaba, vakandituma.
And, even if, I, am judging, my judging, is, genuine, —because, alone, am I not, but, I, and the Father who sent me;
17 Mumurayiro wenyu makanyorwa kuti kupupura kwavanhu vaviri ndokwechokwadi.
And, in your own law, it is written, that, two men’s witness, is, true:
18 Ini ndini ndinozvipupurira pachangu; mumwe anondipupurira ndiBaba, vakandituma.”
I, am the one bearing witness of myself, and the Father who sent me is bearing witness concerning me.
19 Ipapo vakamubvunza vakati, “Baba vako varipiko?” Jesu akapindura akati, “Hamundizivi ini kana Baba vangu. Dai maindiziva mungadai maizivawo Baba vangu.”
They were saying unto him, therefore—Where, is thy father? Jesus answered—Neither, me, do ye know, nor yet my Father: If, me, ye had known, my Father also, had ye known.
20 Akataura mashoko aya paakanga achidzidzisa ari mutemberi pedyo nenzvimbo yaiiswa zvipo. Asi hapana munhu akamubata, nokuti nguva yake yakanga isati yasvika.
These sayings, spake he in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and yet, no one, seized him, because, not yet, had come his hour.
21 Jesu akatizve kwavari, “Ndiri kuenda, uye imi muchanditsvaka, uye muchafira muzvivi zvenyu. Kwandinoenda, imi hamungauyiko.”
He said unto them again, therefore—I, go, and ye shall seek me, —and yet, in your sin, shall ye die: Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come.
22 Izvi zvakaita kuti vaJudha vabvunzane vachiti, “Achazviuraya here? Ndizvo zvaanoreva here zvaanoti, ‘Kwandinoenda, imi hamungauyiko?’”
The Jews, therefore, were saying—Can it be that he will kill himself, that 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 was saying unto them—Ye, are, of the realms below, I, am, of the realms 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.”
Therefore said I unto you, 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.
They were saying unto him, therefore—Who art, thou? Jesus said unto them—First and foremost, even what I speak unto you.
26 Ndine zvizhinji zvandinoda kutonga pamusoro penyu. Asi uyo akandituma akavimbika, uye zvandakanzwa kwaari ndizvo zvandinoudza nyika.”
Many things, have I, concerning you, to speak, and to judge; but, he who sent me, is, true, and, I, what things I heard from him, the same, speak I unto the world.
27 Havana kunzwisisa kuti akanga achivaudza nezvaBaba.
They noted not that, as touching the Father, unto them, he was speaking.
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.
Jesus, therefore, said—Whensoever ye shall lift up the Son of Man, then, shall ye know, that, I, am he, and, of myself, am doing, nothing; but, just as the Father taught me, the same things, am I speaking.
29 Uyo akandituma aneni; haana kundisiya ndiri ndoga, nokuti ndinogara ndichiita zvinomufadza.”
And, he that sent me, is, with me: He hath not left me, alone. Because, I, the things that please him, ever do.
30 Kunyange panguva yaakanga achitaura, vazhinji vakatenda kwaari.
As he was speaking these things, many, believed on him.
31 Jesu akati kuvaJudha vakanga vatenda kwaari, “Kana muchiramba muri mudzidziso yangu, muri vadzidzi vangu zvirokwazvo.
Jesus was saying, therefore, unto the Jews who had believed on him—If, ye, abide in my word, of a truth, my disciples, ye are;
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 made answer unto him—Seed of Abraham, are we, and, unto no one, have been brought into bondage, at any time: How sayest, thou, Free, shall ye be made?
34 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, mumwe nomumwe anotadza ndiye muranda wechivi.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you: Every one who committeth sin, is, a slave, [of sin: ]
35 Zvino muranda haagari mumhuri nokusingaperi, asi mwanakomana ndiye anogaramo nokusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
Now, the slave, doth not abide in the house, evermore. The Son, abideth, evermore. (aiōn g165)
36 Saka kana Mwanakomana achikusunungurai, muchava vakasununguka kwazvo.
If then, the Son, shall make you free, really free, shall ye be.
37 Ndinoziva kuti muri zvizvarwa zvaAbhurahama. Asi munotsvaka kundiuraya, nokuti shoko rangu harina nzvimbo mamuri.
I know that ye are, seed of Abraham; but ye are seeking to kill me, because, my word, findeth no place in you.
38 Ndiri kukuudzai zvandakaona pamberi paBaba vangu, uye imi munoita zvamakanzwa kuna baba venyu.”
What things, I, have seen with the Father, I am speaking; Ye, also, then, what things ye have heard from your father, are doing.—
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—Our father, is, Abraham. Jesus saith unto them—If, children of Abraham, ye are, the works of Abraham, are ye doing.
40 Izvozvi muri kutsvaka kundiuraya, munhu akuudzai chokwadi chandakanzwa kuna Mwari. Abhurahama haana kuita zvinhu zvakadai.
But, now, ye are seeking, to kill me, —A man who, the truth, unto you, hath spoken, which I have heard from God: this, Abraham, did not.
41 Muri kuita zvinhu zvinoitwa nababa venyu.” Vakapindura vakati, “Isu hatisi vana vakaberekwa muupombwe. Baba vatinavo isu ndiye Mwari bedzi.”
Ye, are doing the works of your father. They said unto him—We, of fornication, were not born: One father, have we—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, had been your father, ye had been loving me, for, I, from God, came forth, and am here; for, not even of myself, have I come, but, he, sent me forth.
43 Seiko musinganzwisisi kutaura kwangu? Nokuti hamugoni kunzwa zvandinotaura.
Wherefore, is it, that, my speech, ye do not understand? 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 adversary, and, the covetings of your father, ye choose to be doing. He, was, a murderer, from the beginning, and, in the truth, he stood not; because truth is not in him: Whensoever he speaketh falsehood, of his own, he speaketh; because, false, he is, and, the father of it.
45 Asi nokuda kwokuti ndinotaura chokwadi, imi hamutendi kwandiri!
But, as for me, because, the truth, I speak, ye do not believe me.
46 Ndiani pakati penyu angaratidza kukanganisa kwangu? Kana ndichitaura chokwadi, seiko musinganditendi?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? If, truth, I speak, wherefore, 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, the sayings of God; therefore, do, ye, not hear, because, of God, ye are not.
48 VaJudha vakamupindura vakati, “Hatina kutaura chokwadi here patakati uri muSamaria uye kuti une dhimoni?”
The Jews answered, and said unto him—Do, we, not, well, say: Thou, art, a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Jesu akati, “Handina kubatwa nedhimoni ini, asi ndinokudza Baba vangu uye imi munondizvidza.
Jesus answered—I, have not, a demon, but honour my Father: and, ye, dishonour me.
50 Handizvitsvakiri kukudzwa; asi aripo mumwe anotsvaka kukudzwa, uye ndiye mutongi.
But, I, seek not my glory: There is one who seeketh and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you: If anyone shall keep, my word, death, shall he not see, unto times age-abiding. (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)
The Jews said unto him—Now, we know that, a demon, thou hast: —Abraham, died, and, the prophets, and yet, thou, sayest: If anyone shall keep, my word, in nowise shall he taste of death, unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
53 Ko, iwe uri mukuru kuna baba vedu Abhurahama here? Ivo vakafa, uye vaprofita vakafawo. Unofunga kuti iwe ndiwe ani?”
Surely, thou, art not, greater, than our father Abraham, —who, indeed, died? and, the prophets, died: —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, glorify myself, my glory, is nothing: It is, my Father, that glorifieth me, —of whom, ye, say—He is, your God!
55 Kunyange musingavazivi, ini ndinovaziva. Dai ndanga ndati handivazivi, ndingadai ndava murevi wenhema semi, asi ndinovaziva uye ndinochengeta shoko ravo.
And yet ye have not come to know him; but, I, do know him: If I say, I know him not, I shall be like you—false; but I know him, and, his word, am I keeping.
56 Baba venyu Abhurahama vakafara pavakafunga kuti vachaona zuva rangu; vakariona uye vakafara.”
Abraham, your father, exulted that he should see my day; and he saw, and rejoiced.
57 VaJudha vakati, “Iwe hausati watombova namakore makumi mashanu okuzvarwa, asi unoti iwe wakaona Abhurahama!”
The Jews, therefore, said unto him—Fifty years old, not yet art thou, and, Abraham, hast thou seen?
58 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, Abhurahama asati azvarwa ini ndiripo!”
Jesus said unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Before, Abraham, came into existence, I, am.
59 Ipapo, vakanonga matombo kuti vamutake, asi Jesu akazvivanza, akabuda mutemberi.
They took up stones, therefore, that they might cast at him; but, Jesus, was hidden, and went forth out of the temple.
