John 7
1 After these things Jesus traveled about in Galilee, for he did not want to go into Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
Erile morago ga mo, Jesu a ya Galalea, a tsena motse le motsana gonne o ne a batla go nna ka kwa ntle ga Judea kwa Bajuta ba neng ba mo logela leano la go mmolaya teng.
2 Now the Jewish Festival of Shelters was near.
Mme jaana ya bo e le lobaka lwa Mediro ya Metlaagana letsatsi lengwe la ngwaga la boitapoloso la Sejuta.
3 His brothers therefore said to him, “Leave this place and go to Judea, so that your disciples also may see the works that you do.
Mme bomonnaa Jesu ba mo tlhotlheletsa gore a ye kwa Judea kwa medirong. Ba mo raya ka tshotlo ba re, “Ya kwa batho ba bantsi ba ka bonang dikgakgamatso tsa gago gone!
4 No one does anything in secret if he himself wants to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.”
Ga o ka ke wa tuma fa o iphitlha jaana! Fa o le mogolo jaana, itshupegetse lefatshe!”
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Gonne le bomonnawe ba ne ba sa dumele mo go ene.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Jesu a fetola a re, “Ga e ise e nne nako e e ntshwanetseng gore ke ye teng. Mme lona lo ka nna lwa tsamaya nako nngwe fela ga go na go dira pharologanyo epe mo go lona.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil.
Gonne lefatshe ga le ka ke la lo ila; mme nna le a nkila gonne ke le bona molato kaga sebe le bosula.
8 You go up to the festival; I am not going to this festival because my time has not yet been fulfilled.”
Lona tsamayang, ke tlaa tla kwa morago fa nako e setse e siame.”
9 After he said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
Jalo a sala mo Galalea.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up, not publicly but in secret.
Mme erile bomonnawe ba sena go ya moletlong, le ene a tsamaya, le fa go ntse jalo a ngwangwaela a sa bonwe ke ope.
11 The Jews were looking for him at the festival and said, “Where is he?”
Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba leka go mo senka kwa moletlong mme ba nna ba botsa gore a ope ga a ise a ke a mmone.
12 There was much discussion among the crowds about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “No, he leads the crowds astray.”
Go ne, go na le ditlotlo tse dintsi kaga gagwe mo bathong. Bangwe ba re, “Ke monna yo o gakgamatsang,” fa ba bangwe bone ba ne ba re, “Nnyaa, o timetsa batho.”
13 Yet no one spoke openly about him for fear of the Jews.
Mme ga bo go sena motho ope yo o neng a na le maikaelelo a go mmuelela mo pontsheng ka ntlha ya go tshaba ipusolosetso ya baeteledipele ba Sejuta.
14 When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach.
Mme erile go setse go le fa gare ga moletlo, Jesu a ya kwa Tempeleng mme a feta a ruta mo pontsheng.
15 Then the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this man know so much? He has never been educated.”
Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba hakgamala fa ba mo utlwa, mme ba botsanya ba re, “Ke eng fa a itse thata jaana mme a ise a ke a tsene dikole tsa rona?”
16 Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not mine, but is of him who sent me.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ga ke lo rute megopolo ya me, fa e se ya Modimo o o nthomileng.
17 If anyone wishes to do his will, he will know about this teaching, whether it comes from God, or whether I speak from myself.
Fa mongwe wa lona a ikaelela go dira go rata ga Modimo ka boammaaruri, hong lo tlaa itse gore a thuto ya me e tswa Modimong kgotsa ke ya me fela.
18 Whoever speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but whoever seeks the glory of him who sent him, that person is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Le fa e le mang yo o ntshang megopolo ya gagwe o a bo a ipuisa a batla go galalediwa, mme yo o batlang go tlotla yo o mo romileng, ke motho yo o siameng yo o boammaaruri.
19 Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?”
Ga go na ope wa lona yo o obamelang melao ya ga Moshe! Jalo ke eng fa lo ntshwaya phoso ka go sa e obameleng? Ke eng fa lo mpolaela go dira jaana?”
20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?”
Mme bontsi jwa batho jwa fetola jwa re, “O a tsenwa! Yo o lekang go go bolaya ke mang?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
Jesu a fetola a re, “Ke dirile go le Sabata ke fodisa motho, mme lo ne lwa hakgamala. Mme le lona lo dira go le Sabata, fa lo obamela molao wa ga Moshe wa go rupisa (tota, le gale, mokgwa o wa go rupisa o mogologolo go na le molao wa ga Moshe); ka gore fa nako e e siameng ya go rupisa bana ba lona e tla go le Sabata, lo tswelela pele lo rupisa, jaaka lo tshwanetse. Jaanong ke eng fa ke atlholelwa go fodisa motho go le Sabata?
22 Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the ancestors), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.
23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteously.”
Aka-nyang selo se mme lo tlaa bona gore ke bolelela ruri.”
25 Some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is not this the one they seek to kill?
Bangwe ba batho ba ba neng ba nna koo mo Jerusalema ba buisanya ba re, “A monna yo ga se ene yo ba lekang go mmolaya?
26 See, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. It cannot be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ, can it?
Mme ke yo fa, o rera mo mpepeneneng, ga ba mo reye sepe. A e kane e le gore baeteledipele ba rona ba bonye gore ke Mesia tota?
27 Yet we know where this one is from. But when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.”
Mme o ka nna Mesia jang? Gonne re itse kwa monna yo a tsaletsweng teng; fa Keresete ene a tla, o tlaa bonala fela mme ga gona ope yo o tlaa itseng kwa o tswang teng.”
28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me and know where I come from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, and you do not know him.
Mme Jesu mo therong ya gagwe mo Tempeleng a goa a re, “Ee, lo a nkitse le kwa ke tsaletsweng gone le kwa ke neng ka godisediwa gone, mme ke moemedi wa mongwe yo lo sa mo itseng, mme ene o Boammaaruri.
29 I know him because I come from him and he sent me.”
Ke a mo itse nna ka gore ke ne ke na nae, mme o nthomile mo go lona.”
30 They were trying to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.
Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba batla go mo tshwara, le fa go ntse jalo ga se ka ga nna letsogo le le mo amang, gonne nako e a e beetsweng ke Modimo e ne e ise e nne yone.
31 But many in the crowd believed in him, and they said, “When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than what this one has done?”
Ba le bantsi mo bontsintsing jwa batho kwa Tempeleng ba dumela mo go ene ba re, “Oai, lo solofela dikgakgamatso dife mo go Mesia tse monna yo a sa di dirang?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowds whispering these things about Jesus, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Erile Bafarasai ba utlwa gore bontsintsi bo ne bo le mo mogopolong o, bone le ditlhogo tsa baperesiti ba romela mapodise a Tempele go tshwara Jesu.
33 Jesus then said, “I am still with you for a short amount of time, and then I go to him who sent me.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ga e ise e nne nako! Ke tshwanetse go nna fa ka lobakanyana. Hong ke gone ke tlaa boelang kwa go yo o nthomileng.
34 You will seek me but you will not find me; where I go, you will not be able to come.”
Lo tlaa mpatla mme ga lo na go mpona, gape ga lo na go kgona go tla kwa ke gone!”
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we will not be able to find him? Will he go to the dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba akabadiwa ke polelo e, mme ba botsanya ba re, “O ikaelela go ya kae? Kgotsa o akanya go tswa mo kgaolong e a tsamaya e le moruti mo Bajuteng mo dikgaolong tse dingwe tsa lefatshe, kgotsa le fa e le kwa go Badichaba!
36 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me but will not find me; where I go, you will not be able to come'?”
O raya eng fa a re, re tlaa mmatla mme ga re na go mmona, le gore, ‘Ga lo kitla lo kgona go tla kwa ke leng teng?’”
37 Now on the last, great day of the festival, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
Mo letsatsing la bofelo, e le pheletso ya malatsi a boitapoloso, Jesu a goela kwa bontsintsing jwa batho a re, “Le fa e le mang yo o nyorilweng, a a tle kwa go nna a nwe.
38 He who believes in me, just as the scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from his stomach.”
Gonne dikwalo tsa re dinoka tsa metse a a tshedileng di tlaa elela ditswa mo teng ga yoo o dumelang mo go nna.”
39 But he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him would receive; the Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus was not yet glorified.
(O ne a bua ka Mowa O O Boitshepo, o o tlaa newang mongwe le mongwe yo o dumelang mo go ene; mme Mowa o ne o ise o abiwe, gonne Jesu o ne a ise a boele kwa kgalalelong ya gagwe kwa legodimong).
40 Some of the crowd, when they heard these words, said, “This is indeed the prophet.”
Erile bontsintsi bo utlwa a buajaana, bangwe ba bone ba re, “Ammaaruri monna yo ke moporofiti yo o tlaa tlang pele ga Mesia.”
41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Does the Christ come from Galilee?
Bangwe ba re, “Ke Mesia.” Mme ba bangwe bone ba nna ba re, “Ga e ka ke ya nna ene! A Mesia o tlaa tswa kwa Galalea? Gonne dikwalo di bua sentle fela gore Mesia o tlaa tsalwa ke ba ntlo ya bogosi jwa ga Dafide, mo Bethelehema, motse o Dafide o neng a tsalelwa mo go one.”
42 Have the scriptures not said that the Christ will come from the descendants of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
43 So there arose a division in the crowds because of him.
Jalo ga tsoga kgaogano mo bontsing jwa batho ka ga gagwe.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Mme bangwe ba batla gore a tshwarwe mme ga seka ga nna ope yo o mo amang ka letsogo.
45 Then the officers came back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?”
Mapodisi a Tempele a a neng a romilwe go mo tshwara a boela kwa ditlhogong tsa baperesiti le Bafarasai. Mme tsa feta tsa ba botsa tsa re, “Ke eng lo ne lo sa tle le ene?”
46 The officers answered, “Never has anyone spoken like this.”
Mme mapodisi a dumaduma a re, “O bua dilo tse di hakgamatsang! Ga re ise re ke re be re utlwe sepe se se ntseng jaaka se a se buang.”
47 So the Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?
Mme Bafarasai ba fetola ka tshotlo ba re, “Go raya gore le lona lo timeditswe?”
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
“A go na le mongwe mo go rona babusi ba Sejuta kgotsa Bafarasai yo o dumelang fore Jesu ke Mesia?
49 But this crowd that does not know the law, they are cursed.”
Bontsintsi jo jwa dieleele bo a dumela, ee, mme baitse ka ga gone? Le gale ba hutsegile!”
50 Nicodemus (one of the Pharisees, who came to him earlier) said to them,
Mme Nikodemo a bua. (A lo a mo gakologelwa? Ke ene yole yo e neng e le moeteledipele wa Sejuta yo o neng a tla ka sephiri go tla go buisanya le Jesu),
51 “Does our law judge a man before hearing from him and knowing what he does?”
A botsa a re, A go ka fa molaong go atlhola motho pele ga a sekisiwa?
52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet comes from Galilee.”
Mme ba mo gakalela ba re, “A le wena o Mogalalea yo o tlhomolang pelo? Tlhatlhoba dikwalo o iponele, ga go na baporofiti ba ba tlaa tswang kwa Galalea!”
53 [Then everyone went to his own house.
Mme phuthego ya phatlalala mongwe le mongwe a ya gae.
