< John 7 >

1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Abha yemisango ejo Yesu nalibhata mu Galilaya, kwo kubha atendele okugenda mu Bhyaudi would kubha Abhayaudi bhaliga nibhakola obwenge bho kumwita.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
Woli amalya ga Bhayaudi, amalya ge bhiuna, galiga yei.
3 His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
Niwo abhamula bhabho nibhamubwila ati, “Soka anu ugende Uyaudi, koleleki ebheigisibwa bhao kutyo kutyo bhalole ebhikolwo bhinu oukola.
4 For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
Atalio unu kakola lyona lyona mu mbisike kenu omwene nenda okubhulika abwelu. Alabha ukakola emisango jinu, wiyeleshe omwene ku chalo.”
5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
Nolwo abhamula bhabho ona bhatamwikilisishe.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Niwo Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Omwanya gwani guchali kwiya, nawe omwanya gwemwe bhuli mwanya nogumalila.
7 The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
Echalo chitakutula kubhiililwa emwe, nawe echibhiililwa enye kwo kubha obhubhambasi ubha ebhikolwa byae ni bhibhibhi.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
Mulinye mugende ku malya; anye nitakujayo kumalya linu ni kwokubha omwanya gwani guchali kukumisibwa.”
9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
Ejile amala okwaika emisango ejo kubhene, asigaye Galilaya.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
Nolwo kutyo, abhamula bhabho bhejile bhagenda ku malya, niwo nomwene nagenda, atali kwo bwelu nawe mwibhete.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
Abhayaudi bhaliga nibhamulonda kumalya no kwaika ati, “Alyaki?”
12 There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
Nikubhao amasimulo mafu mu bhise ingulu yaye. Abhangi nibhaika ati, “Ni munu wa kisi.” Abhangi nibhaika ati, “Uli, kabhebheya ebhise.”.
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Nolwo kutyo atalio unu amwaikile bwelu ingulu yaye kwo kubhaya Abhayaudi.
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Omwanya gwa malya gwejile gwakinga agati, Yesu nalinya nagenda mwiyekalu namba okwiigisha.
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
Abhayaudi bhaliga nibhatang'ang'ala no kwaika ati,”Omunu unu amenye emisango myafu? atasomele kata.”
16 Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
Yesu nabhasubya nabhabwila ati, “Ameigisho gani gatali gani, nawe gaye unu antumile.
17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
Alabha wona wona kenda okukola obwenji bwae alimenya okwiigisha jinu alabha jasokele ku Nyamanga, alabha enaika okusoka kwanye ela.
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Bhuli unu kaika okusoka kumwene kayenja likusho lyae, nawe bhuli unu kayenja likusho lyae unu antumile, omunu ununi we chimali, na munda yaye atalimo bhutalengelesi.
19 Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
Musa atabhayaye emwe ebhilagilo? Nawe atalio nolwo umwi mwimwe unu kagwata ebhilagilo. Kubhaki omwenda okunyita?
20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
Ebhise nibhamubya ati, “Uli no musambwa. Niga unu kayenja okukwita?”
21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
Yesu nasubya nabhabwila ati, “Nakola omulimu gumwi, nemwe bhona nimulugula.
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
Musa abhayaye okutenda (tali ati eisoka ku Musa, nawe iliya eisoka ku bhalata), na ku sabhato omutenda omunu.
23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
Alabha omunu akalamila okutendwa kulusiku lya isabhato koleleki ebhilangilo bya Musa byitanyamuka, kubhaki omumbiililwa anye kwo kubhaki nakolele omunu kubha muanga kata ku sabhato?
24 Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
Musige okulamula okwinganyisha nolususo, nawe mulamule mulengele.
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
Abhandi yebwe okusoka Yerusalemu nibhaika ati, “Atali unu oyoabhayenja okumwita?
26 Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
Na lola, kaikila abwelu abwelu, na bhatakumubwila chona chona ingulu yae. Itakutula kubha ati abhakulu abhamenya echimalikubha unu ni Kristo, Eitula okubha?
27 However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
Echimenya unu omunu asokele aki. Kristo alibhaja, nolwo kutyo atalio unu alimenya aki kasoka.”
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
Yesu aliga naikila ingulu muyekalu, neigisha naika ati, “Emwe bhona mumenyele enye no mumenya enu enisoka. Nitejile kubwani, nawe unu antumile ni we chimali, na mutakumumenya omwene.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
Enimumenya omwene kwo kubha nisokele kwaye na antumile.”
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Bhaliga nibhayenja okumsita, nawe atalio nolwo umwi enamusishe okubhoko kwaye ingulu kwo kubha omwanya gwae gwaliga guchali kwiya.
31 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
Nolwo kutyo abhafu mu bhise nibhamwikilisha. Nibhaika ati, “Kristo alibhaja, alikola ebhibhalikisho byafu okukila bhinu akolele omunu unu?”
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Abhafarisayo nibhongwa ebhise mbetong'anila emisango jinu ejimwimako Yesu, na bhakulu bha bhagabhisi na Bhafarisayo nibhatuma abhasilikale koleleki bhamugwate.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
Niwo Yesu naika ati, “Guchali omwanya mutoto nili amwi emwe, na enigenda ku mwene unu antumile.
34 You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
Mulinyenja nawe mutalimbona; nenu enigenda mutakutula kuja.”
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
Kulwejo Abhayaudi nibhaikana abheigisibhwa kwa bhene, “Omunu unu kenda kujaaki ati chitakutula okumulola? Kenda kuja kubhanu bhanyalambukele agati ya Wayunani no kubheigisha Abhayunani?
36 What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’?”
Nimusangoki gunu kaika, 'Mulinyenja nawe mutalimbona; eyo enigenda mutakutula kujayo'?”
37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
Woli olusiku lwo bhutelo, olusiku olukulu lwa malya, Yesu emeleguyu naikila ingulu, naika ati, “Alabha wona wona unu ketwa obhulilo, aje kwanye anywe.
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
Unu kanyikilisha anye, lwa kutyo jandikilwe, okusoka munda yani jiliulula emisima ja manji go bhuanga.”
39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.
Nawe aikile nigwo Mwoyo unu abhene bhalimwikilisha no kumulamila; Mwoyo aliga achali kusosibwa kwo kubha Yesu aliga achali kukusibwa.
40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
Mbe abha mu bhise, bhejile bhongwa emisango jinu, nibhaika ati, “Nichimali unu ni mulagi.”
41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Abhandi nibhaika ati, “ni Kristo.” Nawe abhandi nibhaika ati, “niki, Kristo katula okusoka Galilaya?
42 Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
Amaandiko gatakwikaga ati Kristo kasoka mu lwibhulo lwa Daudi no kusoka Bethlehemu, mu musi gunu Daudi aligamo?
43 So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
Kutyo, aliya nikubhao okwauna agati ye bhise kulwae.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Abhandi agati yebhe nibhenda okumugwata, nawe atalio unu amuteeko amabhoko ingulu yae.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
Niwo bhaliya abhasilikale nibhasubha ku bhakulu bha bhagabhisi na Abhafarisayo, nabho nibhamubwila ati, “Kubhaki mutamuleta?”
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
Abhasilikale nibhamubya ati, Atalio omunu unu alaikile lwoyo.”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
Niwo Abhafarisayo nibhamubya ati, “Nemwe ona abhabhabhebheya?
48 Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
Alio wona wona agati ya bhakulu unu amwikilisishe, amwi yona yona wa Bhafarisayo?
49 But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
Nawe bhanu ebhise bhatakumenya ebhilagilo-bheimilwe.”
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
Nikodemo nabhabwila ati (unu amwijileko Yesu kala, niwe umwi wa Bhafarisayo),
51 “Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
Mbe ebhilagilo byeswe ebhilamula omunu bhachali kumungwa kwamba no kumenya chinu kakola?”
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
Nibhasubya nibhamubwila ati, “Nawe ona wasokele Galilaya? Yenja na ulole ati atalio mulagi unu asokele Galilaya.”
53 Everyone went to his own house,
Mbe bhuli munu agendele mu musi gwae.
