Joan 7
1 Eta guero baçabilan Iesus Galilean: ecen etzén Iudean ebili nahi, ceren Iuduac baitzabiltzan hura hil nahiz.
After this, Jesus spent his time going from place to place in Galilee. He did not want to do so in Judea because the Jews were out to kill him.
2 Eta hurbil cen Iuduén bestá tabernaclén deitzen cena.
But as it was almost time for the Jewish festival of the Tabernacles,
3 Erran cieçoten bada bere anayéc, Parti adi hemendic eta habil Iudearát, hire discipuluec-ere ikus ditzatençát hire obra eguiten dituanac.
his brothers told him, “You ought to leave and go to Judea so your followers will be able to see what miracles you can do.
4 Ecen nehorc eztic deus secretuan eguiten, estimationetan içan nahiz dabilanec, baldin gauça hauc eguiten badituc, manifesta ieçoc eure buruä munduari.
No one who wants to be famous keeps what they do hidden. If you can do such miracles, then show yourself to the world!”
5 Ecen are haren anayec-ere etzuten sinhesten hura baithan.
For even his own brothers really didn't believe in him.
6 Dioste bada Iesusec, Ene demborá ezta oraino ethorri: baina çuen demborá bethi da prest.
Jesus told them, “This is not my time to go, not yet; but you can go whenever you want, for any time's the right time for you.
7 Ecin munduac gaitzets çaitzaquezte çuec: baina niri gaitz darizt: ceren nic testificatzen baitut harçaz, ecen haren obrác gaichto diradela.
The world has no reason to hate you, but it does hate me, because I make it clear that its ways are evil.
8 Çuec igan çaitezte besta hunetara: ni eznaiz oraino igaiten besta hunetara, ceren ene demborá ezpaita oraino bethe.
You go on to the festival. I'm not going to this festival because this is not the right time for me, not yet.”
9 Eta gauça hauc erran cerauztenean egon cedin Galilean.
After saying this he stayed behind in Galilee.
10 Eta igan ciradenean haren anayeac, orduan hura-ere igan cedin bestara, ez aguerriz, baina ichilic beçala.
After his brothers left to go to the festival, Jesus also went, but not openly—he stayed out of sight.
11 Iuduéc bada bilhatzen çuten hura bestán, eta erraiten çuten, Non da hura?
Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were searching for him and kept on asking, “Where is he?”
12 Eta murmuratione handia cen populuaren artean harçaz: ecen batzuc erraiten çuten Guiçon ona da: eta bercéc erraiten çutén, Ezta: baina seducitzen du populua.
Many people in the crowds were complaining about him. Some said, “He's a good man,” while others argued, “No! He deceives people.”
13 Badaric-ere nehor frangoqui etzén minço harçaz, Iuduén beldurrez.
But no one dared to speak openly about him because they were afraid of what the Jewish leaders would do to them.
14 Eta besta ia erdi iragan cenean, igan cedin Iesus templera, eta iracasten ari cen.
When the festival was halfway through Jesus went to the Temple and began to teach.
15 Eta miraz ceuden Iuduac, cioitela, Nolatan hunec letrác daquizqui, ikassi gabe?
The Jewish leaders were very surprised, and asked, “How does this man have so much learning when he hasn't been educated?”
16 Ihardets ciecén Iesusec, eta erran ceçan, Ene doctriná ezta enea, baina ni igorri nauenarena.
Jesus answered, “My teaching is not from me but from the one who sent me.
17 Baldin nehorc nahi badu haren vorondatea eguin, eçaguturen du doctrináz, eya Iaincoaganic denez, ala ni neure buruz minço naicenez.
Anyone who chooses to follow what God wants will know if my teaching comes from God or if I'm only speaking for myself.
Those who speak for themselves want to glorify themselves, but someone who glorifies the one who sent him is truthful and not deceitful.
19 Eztrauçue Moysesec eman Leguea? eta ezpaitu çuetaric batec-ere obratan eçarten Leguea? Cergatic çabiltzate ni hil nahiz?
Moses gave you the law, didn't he? Yet none of you keeps the law! Why are you trying to kill me?”
20 Ihardets ceçan populuac eta erran, Deabrua duc hic: nor dabila hi hil nahiz?
“You're demon-possessed!” the crowd replied. “No one's trying to kill you!”
21 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec eta erran ciecén, Obrabat eguin dut, eta guciac miraz çaudete.
“I did one miracle and you're all shocked by it,” Jesus replied.
22 Baina halere Moysesec eman drauçue Circoncisionea, (ez Moysesganic denez, baina Aitetaric) eta Sabbathoan circonciditzen duçue guiçona.
“However, because Moses told you to circumcise—not that it really came from Moses, but from your forefathers before him—you perform circumcision on the Sabbath.
23 Baldin Circoncisionea recebitzen badu guiçonac Sabbathoan, Moysesen Leguea hauts eztadinçát: asserre çarete ene contra ceren guiçon-bat ossoqui sendatu dudan Sabbathoan?
If you circumcise on the Sabbath to make sure that the law of Moses isn't broken, why are you angry with me for healing someone on the Sabbath?
24 Ezteçaçuela iugea apparentiaren araura, baina iugemendu bidezco batez iugea eçaçue.
Don't judge by appearances; decide what is right!”
25 Erraiten çutén bada Ierusalemetar batzuc, Ezta haur hiltzeco bilhatzen dutena?
Then some of those from Jerusalem began wondering, “Isn't this the one they're trying to kill?
26 Eta huna, frangoqui minço da, eta eztraucate deus eguiten: ala eguiazqui eçagutu othe luqueite Gobernadoréc, ecen haur dela eguiazqui Christ?
But see how openly he's speaking, and they're saying nothing to him. Do you think the authorities believe he's the Messiah?
27 Baina haur badaquigu nondic den: baina Christ dathorrenean, nehorc eztu iaquinen nondic daten.
But that's not possible because we know where he comes from. When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where he's from.”
28 Oihuz cegoen bada Iesus templean, iracasten çuela eta erraiten, Eta ni nauçue eçagutzen, eta nondic naicén badaquiçue, eta neure buruz eznaiz ethorri, baina da eguiati ni igorri nauena, cein ezpaituçue çuec eçagutzen.
While he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus called out in a loud voice, “So you think you know me and where I'm from? However, I did not come for my own sake. The one who sent me is true. You don't know him,
29 Baina nic eçagutzen dut hura, ceren harenganic bainaiz, eta harc igorri bainau.
but I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”
30 Orduan hura hatzaman nahiz çabiltzan: baina nehorc etzitzan escuac eçar haren gainean, ecen etzén oraino ethorri haren orena.
So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him because his time had not yet come.
31 Eta gendetzecoataric anhitzec sinhets ceçaten hura baithan, eta erraiten çutén, Christec dathorrenean guehiago miraculu eguinen othe du, hunec eguiten dituenac baino?
However, many of the crowd did put their trust in him. “When the Messiah appears, will he do more miraculous signs than this man has done?” they said.
32 Ençun ceçaten Phariseuéc gendetzea hauén gainean harçaz murmuratzen: eta igor citzaten Phariseuéc eta Sacrificadore principaléc officierac hura hatzaman leçatençát.
When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering this about him, they and the chief priests sent guards to arrest Jesus.
33 Erran ciecén bada Iesusec, Oraino dembora gutibatetacotz çuequin naiz, guero banoa igorri nauènaganát.
Then Jesus told the people, “I'll be with you just a little longer, but then I'll return to the one who sent me.
34 Bilhaturen nauçue eta ez eridenen: eta non ni içanen bainaiz, hara çuec ecin ethor çaitezquete.
You'll search for me but you won't find me; and you can't come where I'm going.”
35 Erran ceçaten bada Iuduéc elkarren artean, Norat haur ioaiteco da, guc ezpaitugu eridenen? ala Grecoén artean barreyatuac diradenetarat ioaiteco da, eta Grecoén iracastera?
The Jews said to each other, “Where could he be going that we couldn't find him? Is he planning to go to those scattered among the foreigners, and teach the foreigners?
36 Ceric da erran duen propos haur, Bilhaturen nauçue, eta ez eridenen: eta non ni içanen bainaiz, hara çuec ecin ethor çaitezquete?
What does he mean by saying, ‘You'll search for me but you won't find me; and you can't come where I'm going’?”
37 Eta bestaco azquen egun handian eriden cedin Iesus han, eta oihuz cegoen, cioela, Baldin nehor egarri bada, bethor enegana eta edan beça
On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and shouted out in a loud voice, “If you're thirsty, come to me and drink.
38 Ni baithan sinhesten duenari, Scripturác dioen beçala, vr vicizco fluuioac iariaturen çaizca bere sabeletic.
If you trust in me, you will have streams of life-giving water flowing out from within you, as Scripture says.”
39 (Eta haur erraiten çuen hura baithan sinhesten çutenéc recebitzeco çuten Spirituáz: ecer oraino Spiritu saindua etzén eman, ceren Iesus oraino ezpaitzén glorificatu)
He was referring to the Spirit that those who trusted in him would later receive. The Spirit hadn't been given yet because Jesus hadn't yet been glorified.
40 Anhitzec bada gendetzecoetaric propos haur ençun çutenean, erraiten çuten, Haur da eguiazqui Propheta hura.
When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This man is definitely the Prophet!”
41 Bercéc erraiten çutén, Haur da Christ. Eta batzuc erraiten çutén, Alabaina Galileatic ethorriren da Christ?
Others said, “He is the Messiah!” Still others said, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?
42 Eztu Scripturac erraiten, ecen Dauid-en hacitic, eta Bethlehemgo Dauid egoiten cen burgutic Christ ethorriren dela?
Doesn't Scripture say that the Messiah comes from David's lineage, and from David's home town of Bethlehem?”
43 Dissensione eguin cedin bada populuaren artean harengatic.
So the crowd had a strong difference of opinion about him.
44 Eta hetaric batzuc nahi çuten hatzaman, baina nehorc etzitzan eçar haren gainea escuac
Some wanted to arrest him, but nobody laid a hand on him.
45 Ethor citecen bada officierac Sacrificadore principaletara eta Phariseuetara, eta hec erran ciecén, Cergatic eztuçue hura ekarri?
Then the guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees who asked them, “Why didn't you bring him in?”
46 Ihardets ceçaten officieréc, Egundano ezta hala minçatu guiçonic, nola guiçon haur.
“Nobody ever spoke like this man does,” the guards replied.
47 Halacotz ihardets ciecen Phariseuéc, Ezothe cinatezte çuec-ere seducitu?
“Have you been fooled too?” the Pharisees asked them.
48 Ala Gobernadoretaric edo Phariseuetaric batec-ere sinhetsi du hura baithan?
“Has a single one of the rulers or Pharisees believed in him? No!
49 Baina populu Leguea cer den eztaquian haur, maradicatua da.
But this crowd that knows nothing about teachings of the law—they're damned anyway!”
50 Dioste Nicodemo harengana gauaz ethorri içan cenac, cein baitzén hetaric bat,
Nicodemus, who had previously gone to meet Jesus, was one of them and asked them,
51 Ala gure Legueac condemnatzen du nehor, bera behin ençun gabe, eta cer eguin duen eçagutu gabe?
“Does our law condemn a man without a hearing and without finding out what he actually did?”
52 Ihardets ceçaten eta erran cieçoten, Ezaiz hi-ere Galileaco? informadi, eta iaquic ecen Galileatic Prophetaric eztela ilki.
“So you're a Galilean as well, are you?” they replied. “Check the Scriptures and you'll discover that no prophet comes from Galilee!”
53 Eta itzul cedin batbedera cein bere etcherát.
Then they all went home,
