Yohana 8
1 (Zingatia: Angalia ufafanuzi wa Yohana 7: 53 - 8: 11 hapo juu). Yesu alienda mlima wa Mizeituni.
But Yeshua [Salvation] went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Mapema asubuhi akaja tena hekaluni, na watu wote wakamwendea; akakaa na kuwafundisha.
Now very early in the morning (of the seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]· 22nd day)), he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them. (This day is called Sh'mini Atrzeret ·Eighth day Assembly·.)
3 Waandishi na Mafarisayo wakamletea mwanamke aliyekamatwa katika kitendo cha kuzini. Wakamweka katikati.
The Torah-Teachers and the Pharisees [Separated] brought a woman taken in moicheia ·adultery· and set her in the midst of Yeshua [Salvation].
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 told him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, we found this woman moicheuo ·committing adultery·, in the very act.
5 Sasa, katika sheria, Musa ametuamuru kuwaponda mawe watu kama hawa, unasemaje juu yake?
Now in our Torah ·Teaching·, Moses [Drawn out] enjoined us that such a woman be stoned to death. What then do you say about her?”
6 Walisema haya ili kumtega ili kwamba wapate jambo la kumshitaki, lakini Yesu akainama chini akaandika katika ardhi kwa kidole chake.
They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Yeshua [Salvation] stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
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.”
But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is set apart from sin ·devoted to making the mark and taking share in the goal· among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
8 Akainama tena chini, akaandika katika ardhi kwa kidole chake.
Again he stooped down, and with his finger 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.
They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Yeshua [Salvation] was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
10 Yesu alisimama na kumwambia, “Mwanamke, waliokushitaki wako wapi? Hakuna hata mmoja aliyekuhukumu?”
Yeshua [Salvation], standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11 Akasema, “Hakuna hata mmoja Bwana.” Yesu akasema, “Hata mimi sikuhukumu. Nenda njia yako; kuanzia sasa na kuendelea usitende dhambi tena.”
She said, “No one, Lord.” Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin ·miss the mark and be without share· no more.”
12 Tena Yesu akazungumza na watu akisema, “Mimi ni nuru ya ulimwengu; yeye anifuataye hatatembea gizani bali atakuwa na nuru ya uzima.”
Again, therefore, Yeshua [Salvation] spoke to them, saying, “Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13 Mafarisayo wakamwambia, “Unajishuhudia mwenyewe; ushuhuda wako siyo wa kweli.”
The Pharisees [Separated] therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
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.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.
15 Nyinyi mnahukumu kimwili; mimi simhukumu yeyote.
You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16 Mimi hata nikihukumu, hukumu yangu ni kweli kwa sababu siko peke yangu, bali niko pamoja na baba aliyenituma.
Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· who sent me.
17 Ndiyo, na katika sheria yenu imeandikwa kwamba ushuhuda wa watu wawili ni kweli.
It’s also written in your Torah ·Teaching· that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 Mimi ndiye ninayejishuhudia, na Baba aliyenituma ananishuhudia.”
Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)] that testifies about myself, and Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· who sent me testifies about me.”
19 Wakamwambia, “Baba yako yuko wapi?” Yesu akajibu, “mimi hamnijui wala Baba yangu hammjui; mngelikuwa mnanijua mimi, mngemjua na Baba yangu pia.”
They said therefore to him, “Where is your Abba Father?” Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “You know neither me, nor 'Avi ·my Father·. If you knew me, you would know 'Avi ·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.
Yeshua [Salvation] spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 Basi akawaambia tena, “Ninaenda zangu; mtanitafuta na mtakufa katika dhambi zenu. Kule niendako, hamuwezi kuja.”
Yeshua [Salvation] said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your abstract sins ·miss the marks·. Where I go, you can’t come.”
22 Wayahudi wakasema, “Atajiua mwenyewe, yeye ambaye alisema, 'kule niendako hamuwezi kuja'?”
The Jews [Praisers] therefore said, “Will he kill himself, that he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
23 Yesu akawaambia, “Mnatoka chini; mimi natoka juu. Ninyi ni wa Ulimwengu huu; mimi si wa ulimwengu huu.
He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You 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 to you that you will die in your abstract sins ·miss the marks·; for unless you trust that Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], you will die in your abstract sins ·miss the marks·.”
25 Kwa hiyo wakamwambia, “Wewe ni nani?” Yesu akawaambia, Yale niliyowaambia tangu mwanzo.
They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Just what I have been saying to 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 speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”
27 Hawakumuelewa kwamba alikuwa akiongea nao kuhusu Baba.
They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about haAbba ·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.
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], and I do nothing of myself, but as 'Avi ·my Father· taught me, I say these things.
29 Yeye aliyenituma yuko pamoja nami, na yeye hajaniacha peke yangu, kwani kila mara nafanya yale yanayompendeza.”
He who sent me is with me. Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
30 Wakati Yesu akisema mambo haya, wengi walimwamini.
As he spoke these things, many trusted in him.
31 Yesu akasema kwa wale Wayahudi waliomwamini, “Ikiwa mtakaa katika neno langu, ndipo mtakuwa wanafunzi wangu kweli,
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to those Jews [Praisers] who had trusted him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32 nanyi mtaijua kweli, na kweli itawaweka huru.”
You will know the truth, and the truth will 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 are Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
34 Yesu aliwajibu, “Amini, amini, nawaambia, kila atendaye dhambi ni mtumwa wa dhambi.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits abstract sin ·miss the mark· is the bond-servant of abstract sin ·miss the mark·.
A bond-servant does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Kwa hiyo, ikiwa Mwana akiwaweka huru, mtakuwa huru kweli kabisa.”
If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
37 Ninajua kwamba ninyi ni uzao wa Ibrahimu; mnatafuta kuniua kwa sababu neno langu halina nafasi ndani yenu.
I know that you are Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds 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 say the things which I have seen with 'Avi ·my Father·; and you also do the things which you have seen with 'Avikah ·your Father·.”
39 Walijibu na kumwambia, “Baba yetu ni Abrahamu.” Yesu akawaambia, Kama mngelikuwa watoto wa Ibrahimu, mngefanya kazi za Ibrahimu.
They answered him, “Abraham [Father of a multitude] is Avinu ·our Father·.” Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “If you were Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s children, you would do the works of Abraham [Father of a multitude].
40 Hata sasa mnatafuta kuniua, mtu aliyewaambia ukweli kwamba nilisikia kutoka kwa Mungu. Abrahamu hakufanya hivi.
But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham [Father of a multitude] didn’t do this.
41 Mnafanya kazi za baba yenu.” Wakamwambia, “Hatukuzaliwa katika uzinzi, tunaye Baba mmoja, Mungu.”
You do the works of your Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·.” They said to him, “We were not born of porhneia ·sexual immorality·; we have one Abba Father, God.”
42 Yesu akawaambia, “Ikiwa Mungu ni Baba yenu, mngenipenda mimi, kwa maana nimetoka kwa Mungu; wala sikuja kwa nafsi yangu, bali yeye alinituma.
Therefore Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “If God were your Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, you would have agapao ·total devotion love· towards me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Kwa nini hamyaelewi maneno yangu? Kwa sababu hamuwezi kuvumilia kuyasikia maneno yangu.
Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t 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.
You are of your Abba father, the devil [Accuser], and you want to do the epithumia ·lusts, desires· of 'Avikah ·your Father·. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·.
45 Hata sasa, kwa sababu ninasema iliyo kweli, hamniamini.
But because I tell the truth, you don’t trust me.
46 Ni nani kati yenu anayenishuhudia kuwa nina dhambi? ikiwa ninasema iliyo kweli, kwa nini hamniamini?
Which of you convicts me of abstract sin ·miss the mark·? If I tell the truth, why do you not trust me?
47 Yeye aliye wa Mungu huyasikia maneno ya Mungu; ninyi hamyasikii kwa sababu ninyi si wa Mungu.”
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
48 Wayahudi wakamjibu na kumwambia, hatujasema kweli kuwa wewe ni Msamaria na una pepo?”
Then the Jews [Praisers] answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan [person from Watch-mountain], and have a demon?”
49 Yesu akajibu, sina pepo; lakini namheshimu Baba yangu, nanyi hamniheshimu.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor 'Avi ·my Father·, and you dishonor me.
50 Sitafuti utukufu wangu; kuna mmoja atafutaye na kuhukumu.
But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will 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 the Jews [Praisers] said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham [Father of a multitude] died, and the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’ (aiōn g165)
53 Wewe si mkuu kuliko baba yetu Abrahamu aliyekufa, sivyo? Manabii pia walikufa. Wewe wajifanya kuwa nani?”
Are you greater than Abraham [Father of a multitude] Avinu ·our Father·, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
54 Yesu akajibu, “Ikiwa nitajitukuza mwenyewe, utukufu wangu ni bure; ni Baba yangu anayenitukuza - yule mnayemsema kuwa ni Mungu wenu.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is 'Avi ·my Father· who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
55 Ninyi hamjamjua yeye, lakini mimi namjua yeye. Ikiwa nitasema, 'simjui,' nitakuwa kama nyinyi, muongo. Hata hivyo, ninamjua na maneno yake nimeyashika.
You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.
56 Baba yenu Abrahamu alishangilia atakavyoiona siku yangu; aliiona na alifurahi.”
'Avikah ·your Father· Abraham [Father of a multitude] rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad.”
57 Wayahudi wakamwambia,”Haujafikisha umri wa miaka hamsini bado, nawe umemuona Ibrahimu?”
The Jews [Praisers] therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham [Father of a multitude]?”
58 Yesu akawaambia, “Amini, amini, nawaambia, kabla Abrahamu hajazaliwa, MIMI NIKO.”
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham [Father of a multitude] came into existence, Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)].”
59 Ndipo waliokota mawe wapate kumpiga, lakini Yesu alijificha na akatoka nje ya hekalu.
Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Yeshua [Salvation] was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.
