Yohana 8
1 (Zingatia: Angalia ufafanuzi wa Yohana 7: 53 - 8: 11 hapo juu). Yesu alienda mlima wa Mizeituni.
JESUS went unto the mount of Olives.
2 Mapema asubuhi akaja tena hekaluni, na watu wote wakamwendea; akakaa na kuwafundisha.
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 Waandishi na Mafarisayo wakamletea mwanamke aliyekamatwa katika kitendo cha kuzini. Wakamweka katikati.
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 (Zingatia: Angalia ufafanuzi wa Yohana 7: 53 - 8: 11 hapo juu). Ndipo wakamwambia Yesu, “Mwalimu, mwanamke huyu amekamatwa katika uzinzi, katika kitendo kabisa.
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Sasa, katika sheria, Musa ametuamuru kuwaponda mawe watu kama hawa, unasemaje juu yake?
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 Walisema haya ili kumtega ili kwamba wapate jambo la kumshitaki, lakini Yesu akainama chini akaandika katika ardhi kwa kidole chake.
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 (Zingatia: Angalia ufafanuzi wa Yohana 7: 53 - 8: 11 hapo juu). Walipoendelea kumwuliza, alisimama na kuwaambia, “Yeye asiyekuwa na dhambi miongoni mwenu, awe wa kwanza kumponda mawe.”
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 Akainama tena chini, akaandika katika ardhi kwa kidole chake.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 (Zingatia: Angalia ufafanuzi wa Yohana 7: 53 - 8: 11 hapo juu). Waliposikia hayo, waliondoka mmoja baada ya mwingine, kuanzia aliye mzee. Mwishowe Yesu aliachwa peke yake, pamoja na mwanamke aliyekuwa katikati yao.
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 Yesu alisimama na kumwambia, “Mwanamke, waliokushitaki wako wapi? Hakuna hata mmoja aliyekuhukumu?”
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 Akasema, “Hakuna hata mmoja Bwana.” Yesu akasema, “Hata mimi sikuhukumu. Nenda njia yako; kuanzia sasa na kuendelea usitende dhambi tena.”
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Tena Yesu akazungumza na watu akisema, “Mimi ni nuru ya ulimwengu; yeye anifuataye hatatembea gizani bali atakuwa na nuru ya uzima.”
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 Mafarisayo wakamwambia, “Unajishuhudia mwenyewe; ushuhuda wako siyo wa kweli.”
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14 Yesu alijibu akawaambia, “Hata kama nitajishuhudia mwenyewe, ushuhuda wangu ni kweli. Ninajua mahali nilikotoka na kule ninakoenda, lakini ninyi hamjui mahali ninapotoka au kule ninakoenda.
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 Nyinyi mnahukumu kimwili; mimi simhukumu yeyote.
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 Mimi hata nikihukumu, hukumu yangu ni kweli kwa sababu siko peke yangu, bali niko pamoja na baba aliyenituma.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 Ndiyo, na katika sheria yenu imeandikwa kwamba ushuhuda wa watu wawili ni kweli.
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Mimi ndiye ninayejishuhudia, na Baba aliyenituma ananishuhudia.”
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 Wakamwambia, “Baba yako yuko wapi?” Yesu akajibu, “mimi hamnijui wala Baba yangu hammjui; mngelikuwa mnanijua mimi, mngemjua na Baba yangu pia.”
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 Alisema maneno haya akiwa karibu na hazina alipokuwa akifundisha hekaluni, na hakuna hata mmoja aliyemkamata kwa sababu saa yake ilikuwa bado haijafika.
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 Basi akawaambia tena, “Ninaenda zangu; mtanitafuta na mtakufa katika dhambi zenu. Kule niendako, hamuwezi kuja.”
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 Wayahudi wakasema, “Atajiua mwenyewe, yeye ambaye alisema, 'kule niendako hamuwezi kuja'?”
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 Yesu akawaambia, “Mnatoka chini; mimi natoka juu. Ninyi ni wa Ulimwengu huu; mimi si wa ulimwengu huu.
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 Kwa hiyo, naliwaambieni kuwa mtakufa katika dhambi zenu. Vinginevyo muamini kuwa MIMI NDIYE, mtakufa katika dhambi zenu”.
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 Kwa hiyo wakamwambia, “Wewe ni nani?” Yesu akawaambia, Yale niliyowaambia tangu mwanzo.
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 Ninayo mambo mengi ya kuzungumza na kuhukumu juu yenu. Hata hivyo, yeye aliyenituma ni wa kweli; na mambo niliyoyasikia kutoka kwake, mambo haya nayasema kwa Ulimwengu.”
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 Hawakumuelewa kwamba alikuwa akiongea nao kuhusu Baba.
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Yesu akasema, “Mtakapomwinua juu Mwana wa Mtu, ndipo mtakapojua kuwa MIMI NDIYE, na kwamba sifanyi lolote kwa nafsi yangu. Kama Baba alivyonifundisha, ninazungumza mambo haya.
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 Yeye aliyenituma yuko pamoja nami, na yeye hajaniacha peke yangu, kwani kila mara nafanya yale yanayompendeza.”
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 Wakati Yesu akisema mambo haya, wengi walimwamini.
As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Yesu akasema kwa wale Wayahudi waliomwamini, “Ikiwa mtakaa katika neno langu, ndipo mtakuwa wanafunzi wangu kweli,
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 nanyi mtaijua kweli, na kweli itawaweka huru.”
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 Walimjibu, “Sisi ni uzao wa Ibrahimu na kamwe hatujawahi kwa chini ya utumwa wa yeyote; utasemaje, “Tutawekwa huru?”
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 Yesu aliwajibu, “Amini, amini, nawaambia, kila atendaye dhambi ni mtumwa wa dhambi.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Kwa hiyo, ikiwa Mwana akiwaweka huru, mtakuwa huru kweli kabisa.”
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 Ninajua kwamba ninyi ni uzao wa Ibrahimu; mnatafuta kuniua kwa sababu neno langu halina nafasi ndani yenu.
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 Ninasema mambo ambayo nimeyaona pamoja na Baba yangu, na ninyi vile vile mnafanya mambo ambayo mliyasikia kutoka kwa baba yenu.”
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 Walijibu na kumwambia, “Baba yetu ni Abrahamu.” Yesu akawaambia, Kama mngelikuwa watoto wa Ibrahimu, mngefanya kazi za Ibrahimu.
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 Hata sasa mnatafuta kuniua, mtu aliyewaambia ukweli kwamba nilisikia kutoka kwa Mungu. Abrahamu hakufanya hivi.
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 Mnafanya kazi za baba yenu.” Wakamwambia, “Hatukuzaliwa katika uzinzi, tunaye Baba mmoja, Mungu.”
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 Yesu akawaambia, “Ikiwa Mungu ni Baba yenu, mngenipenda mimi, kwa maana nimetoka kwa Mungu; wala sikuja kwa nafsi yangu, bali yeye alinituma.
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 Kwa nini hamyaelewi maneno yangu? Kwa sababu hamuwezi kuvumilia kuyasikia maneno yangu.
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ninyi ni wa baba yenu, shetani, na mnataka kuzitenda tamaa za baba yenu. Alikuwa mwuaji tangu mwanzo na hawezi kusimama katika kweli kwa sababu kweli haimo ndani yake. Anapoongea uongo, anaongea kutoka kwenye asili yake kwa sababu ni mwongo na baba wa uongo.
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 Hata sasa, kwa sababu ninasema iliyo kweli, hamniamini.
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Ni nani kati yenu anayenishuhudia kuwa nina dhambi? ikiwa ninasema iliyo kweli, kwa nini hamniamini?
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 Yeye aliye wa Mungu huyasikia maneno ya Mungu; ninyi hamyasikii kwa sababu ninyi si wa Mungu.”
He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48 Wayahudi wakamjibu na kumwambia, hatujasema kweli kuwa wewe ni Msamaria na una pepo?”
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Yesu akajibu, sina pepo; lakini namheshimu Baba yangu, nanyi hamniheshimu.
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 Sitafuti utukufu wangu; kuna mmoja atafutaye na kuhukumu.
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 Wayahudi wakamwambia, “Sasa tumejua kuwa una pepo. Abrahamu na mabii walikufa; lakini unasema, 'Ikiwa mtu atalishika neno langu, hataonja mauti'. (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 Wewe si mkuu kuliko baba yetu Abrahamu aliyekufa, sivyo? Manabii pia walikufa. Wewe wajifanya kuwa nani?”
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Yesu akajibu, “Ikiwa nitajitukuza mwenyewe, utukufu wangu ni bure; ni Baba yangu anayenitukuza - yule mnayemsema kuwa ni Mungu wenu.
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 Ninyi hamjamjua yeye, lakini mimi namjua yeye. Ikiwa nitasema, 'simjui,' nitakuwa kama nyinyi, muongo. Hata hivyo, ninamjua na maneno yake nimeyashika.
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 yenu Abrahamu alishangilia atakavyoiona siku yangu; aliiona na alifurahi.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Wayahudi wakamwambia,”Haujafikisha umri wa miaka hamsini bado, nawe umemuona Ibrahimu?”
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Yesu akawaambia, “Amini, amini, nawaambia, kabla Abrahamu hajazaliwa, MIMI NIKO.”
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Ndipo waliokota mawe wapate kumpiga, lakini Yesu alijificha na akatoka nje ya hekalu.
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.
