Joan 7
1 Eta guero baçabilan Iesus Galilean: ecen etzén Iudean ebili nahi, ceren Iuduac baitzabiltzan hura hil nahiz.
After those things happened, Jesus went around in Galilee [province]. He did not want to travel in Judea [province], because he knew that the Jewish [leaders there] were wanting to kill him.
2 Eta hurbil cen Iuduén bestá tabernaclén deitzen cena.
But when the time of the Jewish celebration [called] ‘Celebration of [Living in] Shelters’ was near,
3 Erran cieçoten bada bere anayéc, Parti adi hemendic eta habil Iudearát, hire discipuluec-ere ikus ditzatençát hire obra eguiten dituanac.
Jesus’ [younger] brothers said to him, “[Since many people] here [have left you], you should leave and go to Judea [province and perform] some miracles there, so that your disciples may see them!
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 become famous does things secretly. [You say] you are doing these miracles, [so do some miracles there] so that everyone [MTY] can see them!”
5 Ecen are haren anayec-ere etzuten sinhesten hura baithan.
[They said this critically], because even [though they were] his own [younger] brothers, they did not believe he [was from God].
6 Dioste bada Iesusec, Ene demborá ezta oraino ethorri: baina çuen demborá bethi da prest.
So Jesus said to them, “It is not yet time for me [MTY] [to go to the celebration]. For you, any time is right [to go to the celebration].
7 Ecin munduac gaitzets çaitzaquezte çuec: baina niri gaitz darizt: ceren nic testificatzen baitut harçaz, ecen haren obrác gaichto diradela.
[The people] [MTY] [who] ([do not believe in me/do not belong to God]) cannot hate you, but they hate me because I tell them that what they are doing is evil.
8 Çuec igan çaitezte besta hunetara: ni eznaiz oraino igaiten besta hunetara, ceren ene demborá ezpaita oraino bethe.
You [(pl)] go ahead to the celebration. I am not going up [to Jerusalem] to the celebration [yet], because now is not the right time for me [to go].”
9 Eta gauça hauc erran cerauztenean egon cedin Galilean.
After he said that, Jesus stayed [a little longer] in Galilee.
10 Eta igan ciradenean haren anayeac, orduan hura-ere igan cedin bestara, ez aguerriz, baina ichilic beçala.
However, [a few days] after his younger brothers left to go up to the celebration, he went also. He went, along with [us] disciples, but no others went with us.
11 Iuduéc bada bilhatzen çuten hura bestán, eta erraiten çuten, Non da hura?
At the celebration, the Jewish [leaders] were looking for him. They were asking people, “Has Jesus come?”
12 Eta murmuratione handia cen populuaren artean harçaz: ecen batzuc erraiten çuten Guiçon ona da: eta bercéc erraiten çutén, Ezta: baina seducitzen du populua.
Among the crowds, many people were whispering about Jesus. Some were saying, “He is a good man!” But others were saying instead, “No! He is deceiving the crowds!”
13 Badaric-ere nehor frangoqui etzén minço harçaz, Iuduén beldurrez.
But no one was speaking so that others could hear them, because they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
14 Eta besta ia erdi iragan cenean, igan cedin Iesus templera, eta iracasten ari cen.
In the middle of the days of the celebration, Jesus went to the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach people.
15 Eta miraz ceuden Iuduac, cioitela, Nolatan hunec letrác daquizqui, ikassi gabe?
The Jewish [elders] were amazed [at what he was saying]. They said, “This man never studied [in one of our religious schools]! So (how can he have learned [so much about Scripture]?/it is difficult for us to believe that he has learned [so much about Scripture]!) [RHQ]”
16 Ihardets ciecén Iesusec, eta erran ceçan, Ene doctriná ezta enea, baina ni igorri nauenarena.
Jesus replied to them, “What I teach does not come from myself. It comes from [God], 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.
Those who choose to do what God wants will find out whether what I teach comes from God or whether I am speaking with [only] my own [authority].
Those who speak with [only] their own [authority] do that [only] so that others will honor them. But I am [doing things so that others] will honor the one who sent me, and I am someone who speaks the truth. I never lie.
19 Eztrauçue Moysesec eman Leguea? eta ezpaitu çuetaric batec-ere obratan eçarten Leguea? Cergatic çabiltzate ni hil nahiz?
[Think about] the laws that Moses gave you [RHQ]. None of you [completely] obeys those laws. So why are you trying to kill me, [saying I do not obey the laws concerning] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest])?”
20 Ihardets ceçan populuac eta erran, Deabrua duc hic: nor dabila hi hil nahiz?
Someone in the crowd answered, “[By saying this you show that] you are crazy (OR, A demon is controlling you)! Certainly no one is trying to kill you!”
21 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec eta erran ciecén, Obrabat eguin dut, eta guciac miraz çaudete.
Jesus replied to them, “Because I did a miracle [of healing someone] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), you are all shocked.
22 Baina halere Moysesec eman drauçue Circoncisionea, (ez Moysesganic denez, baina Aitetaric) eta Sabbathoan circonciditzen duçue guiçona.
Moses gave you [a law that you must] circumcise [the male children and that you must do that exactly seven days after they are born. Actually], it was your ancestors, [Abraham and Isaac and Jacob], not Moses, who [started that ritual]. But because of that law, you sometimes circumcise them (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), [but that is working, too]
23 Baldin Circoncisionea recebitzen badu guiçonac Sabbathoan, Moysesen Leguea hauts eztadinçát: asserre çarete ene contra ceren guiçon-bat ossoqui sendatu dudan Sabbathoan?
You [sometimes] circumcise boys (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) so that the law of Moses is not disobeyed {[you] do not disobey the law of Moses}, so (it is ridiculous that you are angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man!/why are you angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man?) [RHQ] [Healing someone is far more helpful than circumcising a baby boy]!
24 Ezteçaçuela iugea apparentiaren araura, baina iugemendu bidezco batez iugea eçaçue.
Stop deciding whether my healing this man is wrong according to what you see! Instead, decide according to what is really the right action [to help people]”!
25 Erraiten çutén bada Ierusalemetar batzuc, Ezta haur hiltzeco bilhatzen dutena?
Some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, “(This is the man that they are trying to kill!/Isn’t this the man that they are trying to kill?) [RHQ]
26 Eta huna, frangoqui minço da, eta eztraucate deus eguiten: ala eguiazqui eçagutu othe luqueite Gobernadoréc, ecen haur dela eguiazqui Christ?
He is saying these things (publicly/in front of many people), but our [Jewish] rulers are not saying anything to [oppose] him. Is that because they have decided that he is truly (the Messiah/God’s chosen king)?
27 Baina haur badaquigu nondic den: baina Christ dathorrenean, nehorc eztu iaquinen nondic daten.
But [he cannot be the Messiah, because] we know where this man came from. When the Messiah really comes, no one will know where he comes 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.
[They said that because they thought Jesus was born in Nazareth]. So while Jesus was teaching [people] in the Temple [courtyard], he shouted, “Yes, [you say that] you know me, and [you think] you know [IRO] where I am from. But I have come here not (because I appointed myself/with my own authority). Instead, [God] is the one who truly sent me. You do not know him.
29 Baina nic eçagutzen dut hura, ceren harenganic bainaiz, eta harc igorri bainau.
But I know him, because I have come from him. He is the one who sent me!”
30 Orduan hura hatzaman nahiz çabiltzan: baina nehorc etzitzan escuac eçar haren gainean, ecen etzén oraino ethorri haren orena.
Then they tried to seize him [because he said that he had come from God]. But no one put their hands on him [to do that], because it was not yet the time [MTY] [for him to die].
31 Eta gendetzecoataric anhitzec sinhets ceçaten hura baithan, eta erraiten çutén, Christec dathorrenean guehiago miraculu eguinen othe du, hunec eguiten dituenac baino?
But many of the crowd believed that he [had come from God]. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he certainly will not do more miracles than this man has done, will he?”
32 Ençun ceçaten Phariseuéc gendetzea hauén gainean harçaz murmuratzen: eta igor citzaten Phariseuéc eta Sacrificadore principaléc officierac hura hatzaman leçatençát.
The Pharisees heard them whispering these things about him. So they and the chief priests sent some Temple guards to seize him.
33 Erran ciecén bada Iesusec, Oraino dembora gutibatetacotz çuequin naiz, guero banoa igorri nauènaganát.
Then Jesus said, “I will be with you for only a short time. Then I will return to the one who sent me.
34 Bilhaturen nauçue eta ez eridenen: eta non ni içanen bainaiz, hara çuec ecin ethor çaitezquete.
Then you will search for me, but you will not find me. And you will not be able to come to the place where I am.”
35 Erran ceçaten bada Iuduéc elkarren artean, Norat haur ioaiteco da, guc ezpaitugu eridenen? ala Grecoén artean barreyatuac diradenetarat ioaiteco da, eta Grecoén iracastera?
So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to themselves, “Where is this man about to go with the result that we will not be able to find him? [Some Jewish people have] dispersed [and live] among Greek people. He is not intending to go [and live among them] and teach them, is he?
36 Ceric da erran duen propos haur, Bilhaturen nauçue, eta ez eridenen: eta non ni içanen bainaiz, hara çuec ecin ethor çaitezquete?
When he said ‘You will search for me, but you will not be able to find me,’ and when he said ‘You will not be able to come to the place where I am,’ what [did he mean]?”
37 Eta bestaco azquen egun handian eriden cedin Iesus han, eta oihuz cegoen, cioela, Baldin nehor egarri bada, bethor enegana eta edan beça
[On each of the seven days of the celebration, the high priest poured out some water on the altar in the Temple to remember how God provided water for the people in the desolate area long ago. But the water he poured did not help anyone who was thirsty. So] on the last day of the festival, which was the most important day, Jesus stood up [in the Temple courtyard] and said with a loud voice, “Those who are thirsty should come to me to drink [what I will give them].
38 Ni baithan sinhesten duenari, Scripturác dioen beçala, vr vicizco fluuioac iariaturen çaizca bere sabeletic.
Just like the Scriptures teach, streams of water shall flow out from within those who believe in me, and that water will cause them to live [eternally].”
39 (Eta haur erraiten çuen hura baithan sinhesten çutenéc recebitzeco çuten Spirituáz: ecer oraino Spiritu saindua etzén eman, ceren Iesus oraino ezpaitzén glorificatu)
When Jesus said that, he was referring to [God’s] Spirit, whom those who believed in Jesus would receive later. Up to that time God had not sent the Spirit [to live within believers], because Jesus had not yet [died and returned to his] glorious [home in] heaven, [from where he would send the Spirit].
40 Anhitzec bada gendetzecoetaric propos haur ençun çutenean, erraiten çuten, Haur da eguiazqui Propheta hura.
When some of the crowd heard those words, they said, “Surely this man is the prophet [whom God promised to send who would be like Moses]!”
41 Bercéc erraiten çutén, Haur da Christ. Eta batzuc erraiten çutén, Alabaina Galileatic ethorriren da Christ?
Others said, “He is the Messiah!” But others, [thinking Jesus was born in Galilee], said, “The Messiah will not come from Galilee [province], will he?
42 Eztu Scripturac erraiten, ecen Dauid-en hacitic, eta Bethlehemgo Dauid egoiten cen burgutic Christ ethorriren dela?
(Did [a prophet] not write in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived?/[It is written] in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived!) [RHQ]”
43 Dissensione eguin cedin bada populuaren artean harengatic.
So the people were divided because of [what they thought about] Jesus.
44 Eta hetaric batzuc nahi çuten hatzaman, baina nehorc etzitzan eçar haren gainea escuac
Some people wanted to seize him, but no one tried [to do that].
45 Ethor citecen bada officierac Sacrificadore principaletara eta Phariseuetara, eta hec erran ciecén, Cergatic eztuçue hura ekarri?
So the Temple guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees, [the ones who had sent them to arrest Jesus]. They said to the guards, “Why did you not [seize him and] bring him [here]?”
46 Ihardets ceçaten officieréc, Egundano ezta hala minçatu guiçonic, nola guiçon haur.
They replied, “No one ever spoke such [amazing things] as this man does!”
47 Halacotz ihardets ciecen Phariseuéc, Ezothe cinatezte çuec-ere seducitu?
Then the Pharisees replied, “Have you been deceived {Has [he] deceived you}, too?
48 Ala Gobernadoretaric edo Phariseuetaric batec-ere sinhetsi du hura baithan?
(None of our rulers nor any of us Pharisees have believed that (he [is the Messiah]!/he [came from God]!)/Have any of our [Jewish] rulers or any of us Pharisees believed that (he [is the Messiah]?/he [came from God]?)) [RHQ]
49 Baina populu Leguea cer den eztaquian haur, maradicatua da.
Not one! But, on the contrary, some of this crowd [have believed in him]. They do not know [the true teachings of] our laws! They will go to hell [for listening to him]!” (questioned)
50 Dioste Nicodemo harengana gauaz ethorri içan cenac, cein baitzén hetaric bat,
Then Nicodemus spoke. He was the one who earlier went to Jesus [at night]. He was also a member of the Jewish council. He said to [the rest of the Council members],
51 Ala gure Legueac condemnatzen du nehor, bera behin ençun gabe, eta cer eguin duen eçagutu gabe?
“[We] have not listened to what he says to find out what he is doing. (It is not permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him!/Is it permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him?) [RHQ]”
52 Ihardets ceçaten eta erran cieçoten, Ezaiz hi-ere Galileaco? informadi, eta iaquic ecen Galileatic Prophetaric eztela ilki.
They replied to him, “(Are you another [disgusting person] from Galilee?/[You talk like] another [disgusting person] from Galilee!) [RHQ] Read [what is written in the Scriptures] You will find that no prophet comes from Galilee [province, like he does]!”
53 Eta itzul cedin batbedera cein bere etcherát.
[Then they all left and went to their own homes.
