< John 8 >

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Unkoludeva alutile pakhewamba khyo Mizeituni.
2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
Akhalava panavosihu akhincha khutembile na vanu voni vahandotela; akhatana nukhuva manyesya.
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
Usimbi avandisi usimbaji va Mafalisayo vakhatwalela udada uyibatiwe khumbombo ya voligu vakhambeha pagati.
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
Povakhambola u Yesu, “Umanyesi, udala uyu ibatiwe huvuligu, ikhohevomba elyeli.
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
Leno, hulu lulagelo, u Musa atuvulile alile tuvapondange amawe avanu ndava, wita ndakhehi khumwene?
6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Vakhanchovile aga ukhugela leno vapate enjela ya khung'ega, u Yesu akhinama pasi akhasimba pakhelonga khuhedole khyamwene.
7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
Vavile vendelile uhumbuncha, akhema nokhuvavola, “Uyunchila mbivi avevakhwancha ukhutaviwa amawe.”
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Akhinama tena pasi, akhandikha khuhedole khya mwene.
9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
Vavapidikhe ago, akhahega yumo bada ya yumo, ukhyanjela ugogole. Humwisyo u Yesu vakhandeha mwene, nu dala uyuvavile pagati pavene.
10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
U Yesu akhima nuhuvavola, “Un'dala, avahuhekile valindahu? Asipali khata yumo uyahuhegile?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
Akhan'chova, “Asikholi khata yumo Itwa.” U Yesu akhanchova, “Ate une sanikhohohega lutaga injela yaho; ukhuma lene nukhwendelela usite uvombe imbivi.”
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
U Yesu anchava na vanu akhata, “Unene nene lumuli lwa n'gelunga; Yuywa ihofyata sigenda muhisi poiva nulumuli ulwa womi.”
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
Avamafalisayo vahambola, wihesuhudela yuve; uvosuhuda wakho sio wayelweli.”
14 Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.
U Yesu akhajbu akhavavola, “Ndaneve nikhesuhudela yune, nekhumanyile ukhunehomile nuhuniluta, ulwa khova umwe samukhumanyile uponikhoma nakhohwa nilota.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
Umwe mwikhega umbele, unesanikhega yeyoni.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
Une ndanekhege, uwakhegi wango wayelweli ulwa khova sanelenemwene, ulwa khova tulenu baba uya suhile.
17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
Ilweli, nululagelo lwenyo lusimbiwe uhuta uvosuhuda wa vanu vavele wilweli.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
Une nene nikhesuhudela wa vanu vavele wolweli.”
19 They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
Vakhambola, “Uwiso vaho alendahu?” U Yesu ukhanda, “umwesamumanjile oda ubaba vango samumumanyile; muamuvinchage mumanyile une, ndani mumanyile ubaba vango.”
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
Akhanchovile amamenyu aga akhavilejilani ne hazina ahavile imanyesya pa tembile, akhasipali khata yumo uyamwibite ulwakhova usekhe gwa mwene ngovile bado san'gofihe.
21 Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come.”
Akhavavola hange, “Niluta inchango; yamukhondonda nayamwifwa mumbivi ngenyo. Uhuniluta, samukhawesye uhwincha.”
22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
Avayahudi vakhachova, “Ihebuda yuywa, yuywa ahachovile, 'Ukhuniluta samuhawesye uhwincha'?”
23 He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
U Yesu ahannchova, “Mhuma pasi; une nihuma hukyanya. Umwe mlevakelunga ekhei une sio nelevangelunga ekhe.
24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
Ulwahova, nawavolile uhuta mwifwa ni mbivi nchenye. La sivyo munyamini uhuta UNENE NENE, mwifya musambi nchenyo.”
25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
Po wakhambula, “Uwe veve veni?” Yesu akhavavola, aganevavolile ukhuhuma khuvutengolelo.
26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”
Nelena mambo mingi agakhanchova nuvukhegi hulwomwe. Ata eve, uyasuhile vayelyeli; na mambo aganepolihe ukhuhuma khumwene, amambo aganinchova khuvakelunga.”
27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
Savahamveliwe uhuta alenkonchova ukhuhusu Udada.
28 Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
U Yesu akhachova, “Upoyaheva mukhomwinula umwana va munu, poyamuhumanya ukhuta nene, nuhuta sanivomba lyo lyoni khunafisi yange.
29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
Ulyahovo udada afundisye, ninchava amambo aga. Yuywa asuhile alepopaninye nane, nu mwene sandehile nemwene, ulyahuva khela isekhe nivamba agaganeliwa.”
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
U Yesu woichova amambo aga, vingi va khamwedihe.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
U Yesu akhachova uvayahudi avamwedikhe, “Munganogwe ndimenyu lyango, pomwiva vasyole vango elweli,
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
numwe muhuyemanya elweli, yihuvaveha hulu.” Vakhanda,
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
“Ufye tulevaholiva va Ibrahimu nasatugele tuve pasi ya wotumwa wayeyoni, “Twiva hulu?”
34 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
U Yesu akhanda, “Lweli, lweli, ukhuta, yuywa ivamba imbivi iva itimwa va mbivi.
35 A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Utumwa sitama hukaya umuda gwani; umwana itama isihu nchoni. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
Ulwahova, umwana ikhovaveha hulu, mwiva hulu elweli.”
37 I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
Nelumanyile uhuta umwe mlevaholiwa va Ibrahimu; Mulunda ukhumbuda ulwahova elimenyu lyango lesimoli lelevovole enafasi ingati ndimwe.
38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
Ninchova amamba gago negawene nu dada vango, nayomwe velevote muvamba amambo agamupolihe uhuhuma khwa dada venyo.”
39 They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
Vakhanda nuhuvavola, “Udada veto ve Ibrahimu.” U Yesu akhanda, mwamuvinchage vana va Ibrahimu, muhamuvumbaga imbombo ncha Ibrahimu.
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
Ata leno mulonda uhumbuda, umunu uya vavolile uvolyeli uhuta akhapolikhe uhuhuma khwa Nguluve. Uabrahamu sahavombe evo.
41 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
Mvombe imbombo ncha Dada venyo.” Vahambola, “Satuhoheliwe mboligu, tuleno Dada yomo, Unguluve.”
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.
U Yesu ahavavola, “Ingave Unguluve vedada venyo, mhale muhongana une, ulwahova nchomile khwa Nguluve; sanchinche hunafsi yango, umwene vyahasuhile.
43 Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
Hekhi samuhugeliwa amamenyu gango? Ulwahova samuhawesye uhufamelela uhugapoleha amamenyu gango.
44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
Umwe malevadada venyo, utavangwa, namwinogwa uhuvomba uvonogwe wadada venyo. Ahavile ibadi uhuhima hwutengolelelo nasahawesye uhwema huvoyelweli ulwahova uwoyelweli vosimoli igati mumwene. Uluichova uvadesi lohova uhuhuma huasili yamwene ulwahova idesi nubabaye idesi.
45 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
Hata leno, ninchova yeyo yelweli, samuhonyamini (samuhunyedeha).
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Veni kati yenyo iyihoshuhudele uhuta nele ni mbivi? Ingava nichova uvolweli, mbana samuhonyedeha?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
Uyalenu Nguluve ipoleha amamenyu ga Nguluve; umwe sampoleha ulyahuva samleva Nguluve.”
48 Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
Avayahudi vahanda nohumbula, satunchovile uvolweli uhuta uveve ulesamalia nole no mepo?”
49 Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
U Yesu ahanda, nilivovole ilipepo ulwahuva nihumwesimu udada vango, numwe samuhonyesimu.
50 But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
Sanilonda ulyonginyo lwango; khwale yomo iyilonda nuhuhega.
51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.” (aiōn g165)
Nihovavola, nihovavola, uhuta, uyaheva yeyoni iholibata elimenyu lyango, sihuvovona uvofya habisa.” (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’ (aiōn g165)
Avayahudi vahambola, “Leno tulumanyile uhita ulenelipepo. U Abrahamu na vanyamalaga vahafwile; ulwahuva winchova, 'Ingave umunu ihulipata ilimenyu lyango, sihovova uvofye'. (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
Uveve sidembaho luliko udada veto Abrahamu uyafyule, avanyamalago vope vafyile. Uwe powihefyanya veve veni?”
54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
U Yesu akhanda, “Nengave nihetoja yune, khwetoja hwango hwa vovole; u Dada vango valionoja - yuywa muhunchova uhuta ve Nguluve venyo.
55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.
Umwe samumanyile umwene, une nemanyile umwene. Nengave nichova, 'sanemanyile,' niva kama umwe, vadesi. Ata leno, nelumanyile namamenyu gamwene negibite.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
Udada venyo u Abrahamu ayihovaha yaheva ihoyevona isihu yango; ahayawene ahahovaha.”
57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
Avayahudi vahambula, “Sofihinche ulimuli wa miaha hamsini bado, nuve umbwene u Ibrahimu?”
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
U Yesu ahambola, “Nihovavola, nihovavola, nichova, tangu U Abrahamu saholiwe, UNE HUNELE.”
59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.
Povahahola amawe vanje uhutova, po u Yesu ahefiha nahahoma hunji hutembile.
