Joan 7
1 Eta guero baçabilan Iesus Galilean: ecen etzén Iudean ebili nahi, ceren Iuduac baitzabiltzan hura hil nahiz.
After this, Jesus went about in Galilee, for he would not do so in Judea, because the religious authorities (in Jerusalem) were eager to put him to death.
2 Eta hurbil cen Iuduén bestá tabernaclén deitzen cena.
When the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,
3 Erran cieçoten bada bere anayéc, Parti adi hemendic eta habil Iudearát, hire discipuluec-ere ikus ditzatençát hire obra eguiten dituanac.
his brothers said to him, “Leave this part of the country, and go into Judea, so that your disciples, as well as we, may see the work that you are doing.
4 Ecen nehorc eztic deus secretuan eguiten, estimationetan içan nahiz dabilanec, baldin gauça hauc eguiten badituc, manifesta ieçoc eure buruä munduari.
For no one does a thing privately, if they are seeking to be widely known. Since you do these things, you should show yourself publicly to the world.”
5 Ecen are haren anayec-ere etzuten sinhesten hura baithan.
For even his brothers did not believe in him.
6 Dioste bada Iesusec, Ene demborá ezta oraino ethorri: baina çuen demborá bethi da prest.
“My time,” answered Jesus, “is not come yet, but your time is always here.
7 Ecin munduac gaitzets çaitzaquezte çuec: baina niri gaitz darizt: ceren nic testificatzen baitut harçaz, ecen haren obrác gaichto diradela.
The world cannot hate you, but it does hate me, because I testify that its ways are evil.
8 Çuec igan çaitezte besta hunetara: ni eznaiz oraino igaiten besta hunetara, ceren ene demborá ezpaita oraino bethe.
Go yourselves up to the Festival; I am not going to this Festival yet, because my time has not yet come.”
9 Eta gauça hauc erran cerauztenean egon cedin Galilean.
After telling them this, he stayed on in Galilee.
10 Eta igan ciradenean haren anayeac, orduan hura-ere igan cedin bestara, ez aguerriz, baina ichilic beçala.
But, when his brothers had gone up to the Festival, Jesus also went up – not publicly, but privately.
11 Iuduéc bada bilhatzen çuten hura bestán, eta erraiten çuten, Non da hura?
The authorities were looking for him at the Festival and 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.
and there were many whispers about him among the people, some saying ‘He is a good man;’ others, ‘No! He is leading the people astray.’
13 Badaric-ere nehor frangoqui etzén minço harçaz, Iuduén beldurrez.
No one, however, spoke freely about him, because they were afraid of the authorities.
14 Eta besta ia erdi iragan cenean, igan cedin Iesus templera, eta iracasten ari cen.
About the middle of the Festival week, Jesus went up into the Temple Courts, and began teaching.
15 Eta miraz ceuden Iuduac, cioitela, Nolatan hunec letrác daquizqui, ikassi gabe?
The authorities were astonished. “How has this man got his learning,” they asked, “when he has never studied?”
16 Ihardets ciecén Iesusec, eta erran ceçan, Ene doctriná ezta enea, baina ni igorri nauenarena.
So, in reply, Jesus said, “My teaching is not my own; it is his who sent me.
17 Baldin nehorc nahi badu haren vorondatea eguin, eçaguturen du doctrináz, eya Iaincoaganic denez, ala ni neure buruz minço naicenez.
If anyone has the will to do God’s will, they will find out whether my teaching is from God, or whether I speak on my own authority.
The person who speaks on their own authority seeks honor for themselves; but the one who seeks the honor of him who sent him is sincere, and there is nothing false in him.
19 Eztrauçue Moysesec eman Leguea? eta ezpaitu çuetaric batec-ere obratan eçarten Leguea? Cergatic çabiltzate ni hil nahiz?
Was not it Moses who gave you the Law? Yet not one of you obeys it! Why are you seeking to put me to death?”
20 Ihardets ceçan populuac eta erran, Deabrua duc hic: nor dabila hi hil nahiz?
“You must be possessed by a demon!” the people exclaimed. “Who is seeking to put you to death?”
21 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec eta erran ciecén, Obrabat eguin dut, eta guciac miraz çaudete.
“There was one thing I did,” replied Jesus, “at which you are all still wondering.
22 Baina halere Moysesec eman drauçue Circoncisionea, (ez Moysesganic denez, baina Aitetaric) eta Sabbathoan circonciditzen duçue guiçona.
But that is why Moses has instituted circumcision among you – not, indeed, that it began with him, but with our ancestors – and that is why you circumcise even on a Sabbath.
23 Baldin Circoncisionea recebitzen badu guiçonac Sabbathoan, Moysesen Leguea hauts eztadinçát: asserre çarete ene contra ceren guiçon-bat ossoqui sendatu dudan Sabbathoan?
When a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath to prevent the Law of Moses from being broken, how can you be angry with me for making a man sound and well on a Sabbath?
24 Ezteçaçuela iugea apparentiaren araura, baina iugemendu bidezco batez iugea eçaçue.
Do not judge by appearances; judge justly.”
25 Erraiten çutén bada Ierusalemetar batzuc, Ezta haur hiltzeco bilhatzen dutena?
At this some of the people of Jerusalem exclaimed, “Is not this the man who they are seeking to put to death?
26 Eta huna, frangoqui minço da, eta eztraucate deus eguiten: ala eguiazqui eçagutu othe luqueite Gobernadoréc, ecen haur dela eguiazqui Christ?
Yet here he is, speaking out boldly, and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that our leading men have really discovered that he is the Christ?
27 Baina haur badaquigu nondic den: baina Christ dathorrenean, nehorc eztu iaquinen nondic daten.
Yet we know where this man is from; but, when the Christ comes, no one will be able to tell where he is 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.
Therefore, Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple Courts, raised his voice and said, “Yes; you know me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own authority, but he who sent me may be trusted; and him you do not know.
29 Baina nic eçagutzen dut hura, ceren harenganic bainaiz, eta harc igorri bainau.
I do know him, for it is from him that I have come, and he sent me as his messenger.”
30 Orduan hura hatzaman nahiz çabiltzan: baina nehorc etzitzan escuac eçar haren gainean, ecen etzén oraino ethorri haren orena.
So they sought to arrest him; but no one touched him, for his time was not come yet.
31 Eta gendetzecoataric anhitzec sinhets ceçaten hura baithan, eta erraiten çutén, Christec dathorrenean guehiago miraculu eguinen othe du, hunec eguiten dituenac baino?
Many of the people, however, believed in him. “When the Christ comes,” they said, “will he give more signs of his mission than this man has given?”
32 Ençun ceçaten Phariseuéc gendetzea hauén gainean harçaz murmuratzen: eta igor citzaten Phariseuéc eta Sacrificadore principaléc officierac hura hatzaman leçatençát.
The Pharisees heard the people whispering about him in this way, and so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him;
33 Erran ciecén bada Iesusec, Oraino dembora gutibatetacotz çuequin naiz, guero banoa igorri nauènaganát.
at which Jesus said, “I will be with you but a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.
34 Bilhaturen nauçue eta ez eridenen: eta non ni içanen bainaiz, hara çuec ecin ethor çaitezquete.
You will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I will be.”
35 Erran ceçaten bada Iuduéc elkarren artean, Norat haur ioaiteco da, guc ezpaitugu eridenen? ala Grecoén artean barreyatuac diradenetarat ioaiteco da, eta Grecoén iracastera?
“Where is this man going,” the people asked one another, “that we would not find him? Will he go to our countrymen abroad, and teach 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 will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I will be’?”
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 greatest day of the Festival, Jesus, who was standing by, exclaimed, “If anyone is thirsty, they should come to me and drink.
38 Ni baithan sinhesten duenari, Scripturác dioen beçala, vr vicizco fluuioac iariaturen çaizca bere sabeletic.
From the heart of those who believe in me will flow, as is said in scripture, rivers of living water.”
39 (Eta haur erraiten çuen hura baithan sinhesten çutenéc recebitzeco çuten Spirituáz: ecer oraino Spiritu saindua etzén eman, ceren Iesus oraino ezpaitzén glorificatu)
(By this he meant the Spirit, which those who had believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been exalted.)
40 Anhitzec bada gendetzecoetaric propos haur ençun çutenean, erraiten çuten, Haur da eguiazqui Propheta hura.
Some of the people, when they heard these words, said, “This is certainly the Prophet!”;
41 Bercéc erraiten çutén, Haur da Christ. Eta batzuc erraiten çutén, Alabaina Galileatic ethorriren da Christ?
others said, “the Christ!”; but some asked, “What! Does the Christ come from Galilee?
42 Eztu Scripturac erraiten, ecen Dauid-en hacitic, eta Bethlehemgo Dauid egoiten cen burgutic Christ ethorriren dela?
Is not it said in scripture that it is of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village to which David belonged, that the Christ is to come?”
43 Dissensione eguin cedin bada populuaren artean harengatic.
So there was a sharp division among the people because of Jesus.
44 Eta hetaric batzuc nahi çuten hatzaman, baina nehorc etzitzan eçar haren gainea escuac
Some of them wanted to arrest him, and yet no one touched him.
45 Ethor citecen bada officierac Sacrificadore principaletara eta Phariseuetara, eta hec erran ciecén, Cergatic eztuçue hura ekarri?
When the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, they were asked, “Why have you not brought him?”
46 Ihardets ceçaten officieréc, Egundano ezta hala minçatu guiçonic, nola guiçon haur.
“No one ever spoke as he speaks!” they answered.
47 Halacotz ihardets ciecen Phariseuéc, Ezothe cinatezte çuec-ere seducitu?
“What! Have you been led astray too?” the Pharisees replied.
48 Ala Gobernadoretaric edo Phariseuetaric batec-ere sinhetsi du hura baithan?
“Have any of our leading men believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
49 Baina populu Leguea cer den eztaquian haur, maradicatua da.
As for these people who do not know the Law – they are cursed!”
50 Dioste Nicodemo harengana gauaz ethorri içan cenac, cein baitzén hetaric bat,
But one of their number, Nicodemus, who before this had been to see Jesus, said to them,
51 Ala gure Legueac condemnatzen du nehor, bera behin ençun gabe, eta cer eguin duen eçagutu gabe?
“Does our Law pass judgment on a person without first giving them a hearing, and finding out what they have been doing?”
52 Ihardets ceçaten eta erran cieçoten, Ezaiz hi-ere Galileaco? informadi, eta iaquic ecen Galileatic Prophetaric eztela ilki.
“Are you also from Galilee?” they retorted. “Search, and you will find that no prophet is to arise in Galilee!”
53 Eta itzul cedin batbedera cein bere etcherát.
And everyone went home
