Johani 8
1 Asi Jesu akaenda kuGomo reMiorivhi.
And Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
2 Panguva dzamambakwedza akazviratidzazve mutemberi, vanhu vakamuunganira, uye akagara pasi kuti avadzidzise.
And in the morning he came again to the temple; and all the people came to 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 forward a woman that was caught in adultery. And when they had placed her in the midst,
4 uye vakati kuna Jesu, “Mudzidzisi, mukadzi uyu abatwa achiita upombwe.
they say to him: Teacher, this woman was caught openly in the act of adultery.
5 MuMurayiro Mozisi akatirayira kuti titake namabwe vakadzi vakadai. Zvino imi munoti kudii?”
And in the law of Moses, God hath commanded us to stone such persons. What therefore dost thou say?
6 Vakanga vachishandisa mubvunzo uyu kuti vamuteye, vawane hwaro hwokumupa mhosva. Asi Jesu akakotama akatanga kunyora pasi nomunwe wake.
And this they said, tempting him, so that they might have ground to accuse him. But Jesus having stooped down, was writing on the ground.
7 Vakati varamba vachimubvunza, akatwasuka akati kwavari, “Kana pane asina chivi pakati penyu, ngaave iye wokutanga kupotsera dombo kwaari.”
And as they continued asking him, he straightened himself up, and said to them: Whoever among you is without sin, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 Akakotamazve akanyora pasi.
And, having again stooped down, he 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, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning with the older; and the woman was left, alone where she had stood in the midst.
10 Jesu akatwasuka akati kwaari, “Mai, varipiko vaya vanga vachikupomera mhosva? Hapana akutonga here?”
And when Jesus had straightened himself up, he said to the woman: Where are they? Doth no one condemn thee?
11 Iye akati, “Hapana, Ishe.” Jesu akati, “Neniwo handikupi mhosva. Zvino chienda, uye usiye upenyu hwako hwechivi.”
And she said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither do I condemn thee. Go thou, and henceforth sin no more.
12 Jesu achitaurazve navanhu, akati, “Ndini chiedza chenyika. Ani naani anonditevera haangatongofambi murima, asi achava nechiedza choupenyu.”
And Jesus again conversed with them, and said: I am the light of the world: he that cometh to me, will not walk in darkness; but will find for himself the light of life.
13 VaFarisi vakamupikisa vachiti, “Hezvo, uri kuratidza wani kuti unozvipupurira pachako; uchapupu hwako hahuna maturo.”
The Pharisees said to him: Thou bearest witness of thyself, thy testimony is not certain.
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 to them: Although I bear witness of myself, my testimony is certain, because I know whence I came, and whither I go. But ye do not know, whence I came, and whither I go.
15 Munotonga nameso enyama; ini handitongi munhu.
Ye judge according to the flesh: I judge no one.
16 Asi kana ndikatonga, kutonga kwangu kwakarurama, nokuti handisi ndoga. Ndinotonga naBaba, vakandituma.
Yet if I Judge, my judgment is certain, because I am not alone, but I and my Father who sent me.
17 Mumurayiro wenyu makanyorwa kuti kupupura kwavanhu vaviri ndokwechokwadi.
And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two persons is certain.
18 Ini ndini ndinozvipupurira pachangu; mumwe anondipupurira ndiBaba, vakandituma.”
I am one: who bear witness of myself, and my Father who 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.”
They say to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus replied, and said to them: Ye neither know me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would also have known my Father.
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 one laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
21 Jesu akatizve kwavari, “Ndiri kuenda, uye imi muchanditsvaka, uye muchafira muzvivi zvenyu. Kwandinoenda, imi hamungauyiko.”
Again Jesus said to them: I go away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins. And whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Izvi zvakaita kuti vaJudha vabvunzane vachiti, “Achazviuraya here? Ndizvo zvaanoreva here zvaanoti, ‘Kwandinoenda, imi hamungauyiko?’”
The Jews said: Is he about to kill himself, that he should say, 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 to them: Ye are from below, 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 to you, That ye will die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am he, ye will die in your sins.
25 Vakati kwaari, “Ndiwe aniko?” Jesu akapindura akati, “Izvozvo zvandanguri ndataura kare kuti ndini iye.
The Jews said to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: Although I have begun to converse with you,
26 Ndine zvizhinji zvandinoda kutonga pamusoro penyu. Asi uyo akandituma akavimbika, uye zvandakanzwa kwaari ndizvo zvandinoudza nyika.”
I have yet many things to say and to Judge concerning you. But he that sent me is true: and the things which I have heard from him, them I speak in the world.
27 Havana kunzwisisa kuti akanga achivaudza nezvaBaba.
And they did not know, 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.
Jesus said to them again: When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then will ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing from my own pleasure, but as my Father taught me, so I speak.
29 Uyo akandituma aneni; haana kundisiya ndiri ndoga, nokuti ndinogara ndichiita zvinomufadza.”
And he that sent me, is with me; and my Father hath not left me alone, because I do, at all times, that which pleaseth him.
30 Kunyange panguva yaakanga achitaura, vazhinji vakatenda kwaari.
And when he had spoken these things, many believed on him.
31 Jesu akati kuvaJudha vakanga vatenda kwaari, “Kana muchiramba muri mudzidziso yangu, muri vadzidzi vangu zvirokwazvo.
And Jesus said to those Jews who believed on him: If ye continue in my word, ye will be truly my disciples.
32 Ipapo muchaziva zvokwadi, uye zvokwadi ichakusunungurai.”
And ye will know the truth; and the truth will make you free.
33 Ivo vakamupindura vachiti, “Isu tiri zvizvarwa zvaAbhurahama uye hatina kumbova varanda vomumwe munhu. Ungareva sei kuti tichasunungurwa?”
They say to him: We are the seed of Abraham, and never were in servitude to any man; and how sayest thou, Ye will be freemen?
34 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, mumwe nomumwe anotadza ndiye muranda wechivi.
Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, That whoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
35 Zvino muranda haagari mumhuri nokusingaperi, asi mwanakomana ndiye anogaramo nokusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
And a servant abideth not for ever in the house; but the Son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Saka kana Mwanakomana achikusunungurai, muchava vakasununguka kwazvo.
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will really be free men.
37 Ndinoziva kuti muri zvizvarwa zvaAbhurahama. Asi munotsvaka kundiuraya, nokuti shoko rangu harina nzvimbo mamuri.
I know that ye are the children of Abraham; but ye seek to kill me, because ye do not acquiesce in my word.
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 to him: Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them: If ye were children of Abraham, 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 who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from 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.”
But ye do the works of your father. They say to him: We are not the offspring of whoredom; we have one Father, 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 to them: If God were your Father, ye would love me; for I proceeded and came from God: I did not come of my own accord, but he sent me.
43 Seiko musinganzwisisi kutaura kwangu? Nokuti hamugoni kunzwa zvandinotaura.
Why do ye not understand my speech? It is because ye cannot hear my speech.
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 calumniator; and the lust of your father ye are disposed to do. He was from the beginning a manslayer, and abode not in the truth; for the truth is not in him, and when he speaketh a lie he speaketh from himself, for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 Asi nokuda kwokuti ndinotaura chokwadi, imi hamutendi kwandiri!
But me, because I speak the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Ndiani pakati penyu angaratidza kukanganisa kwangu? Kana ndichitaura chokwadi, seiko musinganditendi?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak 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 the words of God. Therefore ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
48 VaJudha vakamupindura vakati, “Hatina kutaura chokwadi here patakati uri muSamaria uye kuti une dhimoni?”
The Jews answered, and said to him: Did we not well say, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Jesu akati, “Handina kubatwa nedhimoni ini, asi ndinokudza Baba vangu uye imi munondizvidza.
Jesus said to them: I have no demon: but I honor God; and ye contemn me.
50 Handizvitsvakiri kukudzwa; asi aripo mumwe anotsvaka kukudzwa, uye ndiye mutongi.
But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh it, and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say to you: He that keepeth my word, will 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)
The Jews say to him: Now we know, that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; yet thou sayest: He that keepeth my word, will never taste 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 who is dead, or than the prophets who died? What dost thou make thyself?
54 Jesu akapindura akati, “Kana ini ndichizvirumbidza, kuzvikudza kwangu hakuna maturo. Baba vangu, avo vamunoti ndivo Mwari wenyu, ndivo vanondikudza.
Jesus said to them: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say, He is our God.
55 Kunyange musingavazivi, ini ndinovaziva. Dai ndanga ndati handivazivi, ndingadai ndava murevi wenhema semi, asi ndinovaziva uye ndinochengeta shoko ravo.
And ye know him not. But I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar, like you: but I do know him, and I observe his word.
56 Baba venyu Abhurahama vakafara pavakafunga kuti vachaona zuva rangu; vakariona uye vakafara.”
Abraham your father desired to see my day: and he saw it, and rejoiced.
57 VaJudha vakati, “Iwe hausati watombova namakore makumi mashanu okuzvarwa, asi unoti iwe wakaona Abhurahama!”
The Jews say to 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 to them: Verily, verily I say to you, That before Abraham existed, I was.
59 Ipapo, vakanonga matombo kuti vamutake, asi Jesu akazvivanza, akabuda mutemberi.
And they took up stones to stone him. But Jesus concealed himself, and went out of the temple, and passed along among them, and went away.
