Yoane 8
1 Kasi Yesu akendeki na ngomba ya banzete ya olive.
And at dawn he came again to the temple,
2 Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, azongaki kati na lopango ya Tempelo; mpe lokola bato nyonso bayaki kozingela Ye, avandaki mpe abandaki koteya bango.
and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
3 Balakisi ya Mobeko mpe Bafarizeo bakumbaki mwasi moko oyo bakutaki azali kosala ekobo; batambolisaki ye kati na ebele ya bato mpe batiaki ye liboso ya Yesu, na miso ya bato nyonso.
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 Balobaki na Yesu: — Moteyi, mwasi oyo asali ekobo; bakuti ye penza azali kosala yango!
they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
5 Kati na mibeko, Moyize apesa biso mitindo ya koboma basi ya boye na mabanga. Bongo yo, olobi nini na tina na yango?
and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
6 Balobaki bongo mpo na kotiela Yesu motambo mpe koluka nzela ya kofunda Ye. Kasi Yesu agunzamaki; mpe na nzela ya mosapi na Ye, abandaki kokoma na mabele.
and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,
7 Lokola bakobaki kaka kopesa Ye mituna, Yesu atelemaki mpe alobaki na bango: — Tika ete moto oyo, kati na bino, asala nanu lisumu te abamba ye libanga moto ya liboso.
and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;'
8 Bongo Yesu agunzamaki lisusu mpe azongelaki kokoma na mabele.
and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
9 Tango bayokaki bongo, bango nyonso babendanaki moko sima na moninga, kobanda na mikolo. Mpe Yesu atikalaki Ye moko. Lokola mwasi yango azalaki kaka wana kati na lopango ya Tempelo,
and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 Yesu atombolaki moto mpe alobaki na ye: — Mwasi, bato oyo bayei kofunda yo bazali wapi? Boni, ata moko te akateli yo etumbu?
And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'
11 Mwasi azongisaki: — Nkolo, moko te! Bongo Yesu alobaki na ye: — Ngai mpe nakateli yo etumbu te. Kende; kasi, kobanda lelo, kosala lisusu masumu te.]
and she said, 'No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
12 Yesu alobaki lisusu na bato: — Nazali pole ya mokili; moto nyonso oyo alandaka Ngai akotikala kotambola kati na molili te, kasi akozwa pole ya bomoi.
Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'
13 Bafarizeo balobaki na Ye: — Ozali kotatola mpo na yo moko, litatoli na yo ezali ya solo te.
The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
14 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Ezala soki natatoli mpo na Ngai moko, litatoli na Ngai ezali ya solo, pamba te nayebi epai nawuti mpe epai nazali kokende; kasi bino, boyebi te ezala epai nawuti to epai nazali kokende.
Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.
15 Bino, bosambisaka na ndenge ya bomoto; kasi Ngai, nasambisi moto ata moko te.
'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
16 Mpe ezala soki esalemi ete Ngai nasambisi moto, kosambisa na Ngai ezali ya solo, pamba te nazali Ngai moko te: Tata oyo atindi Ngai azali elongo na Ngai.
and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
17 Ekomama kutu, kati na mibeko na bino, ete litatoli ya bato mibale nde ezalaka ya solo.
and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
18 Ngai, nazali kopesa litatoli na tina na Ngai moko, mpe Tata oyo atindaki Ngai azali lisusu kotatola na tina na Ngai.
I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'
19 Bongo batunaki Ye: — Tata na yo azali wapi? Yesu azongisaki: — Boyebi Ngai te, mpe boyebi Tata na Ngai te. Soki boyebaki Ngai, bolingaki mpe koyeba Tata na Ngai.
They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'
20 Yesu alobaki bongo, wana azalaki koteya kati na lopango ya Tempelo, pene ya esika oyo bazalaki kotia makabo; mpe moto ata moko te amekaki kokanga Ye, pamba te tango na Ye ekokaki nanu te.
These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;
21 Yesu alobaki na bango lisusu: — Ngai, nazali kokende; mpe bokoluka Ngai, kasi bokokufa kati na lisumu na bino. Epai Ngai nazali kokende, bino, bokoki te koya kuna.
therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'
22 Na bongo, Bayuda batunanaki bango na bango: — Boni, azali na makanisi ya komiboma, yango wana alobi: « Epai Ngai nazali kokende, bino, bokokoka te koya kuna? »
The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'
23 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Bino, bozali bato ya se; kasi Ngai, nawuti na Likolo. Bino, bozali bato ya mokili oyo; kasi Ngai, nazali ya mokili oyo te.
and he said to them, 'Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;
24 Yango wana nalobaki na bino: « Bokokufa kati na lisumu na bino; » pamba te soki bondimi te ete « Nazali oyo azali, » bokokufa kati na lisumu na bino.
I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.'
25 Batunaki Ye: — Boye ozali nani? Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Oyo nazali koloba na bino wuta na ebandeli.
They said, therefore, to him, 'Thou — who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;
26 Nazali na makambo mingi ya koloba na tina na bino mpe ya kosambisa kati na bino; kasi Ye oyo atindaki Ngai azali solo, mpe makambo oyo nayokaki epai na Ye, yango nde nazali koyebisa mokili.
many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.'
27 Kasi bazalaki kososola te ete Yesu azalaki koloba na bango na tina na Tata.
They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
28 Alobaki lisusu: — Sima na bino kotombola Mwana na Moto nde bokoyeba ete, Ngai, nazali oyo azali, mpe ete nasalaka eloko moko te na ndenge na Ngai moko, kasi nalobaka kolanda makambo oyo Tata ateyaki Ngai.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;
29 Ye oyo atindaki Ngai azali elongo na Ngai; atikaki Ngai moko te, pamba te, Ngai, nasalaka tango nyonso makambo oyo esepelisaka Ye.
and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'
30 Wana Yesu azalaki koloba bongo, bato mingi bandimaki Ye.
As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
31 Bongo Yesu alobaki na Bayuda oyo bandimaki Ye: — Soki bowumeli kati na Liloba oyo nateyaki bino, bokozala penza bayekoli na Ngai,
Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,
32 bokoyeba solo, mpe solo ekokangola bino.
and the truth shall make you free.'
33 Bazongiselaki Ye: — Biso, tozali bato ya libota ya Abrayami, totikala kozala te bawumbu ya moto; ndenge nini oloba ete tokokoma bansomi?
They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?'
34 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto nyonso oyo asalaka masumu azali mowumbu ya lisumu.
Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,
35 Nzokande, mowumbu azalaka kati na libota tango nyonso te, kasi mwana azali kati na yango mpo na seko. (aiōn g165)
and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; (aiōn g165)
36 Boye, soki Mwana akangoli bino, bokozala penza bansomi.
if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
37 Nayebi ete bozali bato ya libota ya Abrayami; nzokande, bozali koluka koboma Ngai, pamba te boboyi koyamba Liloba na Ngai.
'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;
38 Ngai, nazali koloba makambo oyo namonaki epai ya Tata na Ngai; bino mpe bozali kosala makambo oyo boyokaki epai ya tata na bino.
I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.'
39 Bazongisaki: — Ezali Abrayami nde azali tata na biso. Yesu alobaki na bango: — Soki bozalaki bana ya Abrayami, bolingaki kosala misala oyo Abrayami asalaki.
They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;
40 Kasi sik’oyo, na esika ete bosala yango, bozali koluka koboma Ngai, Ngai oyo nalobi na bino solo oyo nayokaki epai ya Nzambe! Abrayami atikala kosala bongo te.
and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;
41 Bozali penza kosala misala ya tata na bino. Bazongisaki: — Tozali bana ya makangu te; tozali kaka na tata moko: Nzambe!
ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;'
42 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Soki Nzambe azalaki penza Tata na bino, bolingaki kolinga Ngai, pamba te nawutaki epai ya Nzambe, mpe ezali kolanda mokano na Ye nde nazali sik’oyo awa. Nayaki na ndenge na Ngai moko te, kasi Ye nde atindaki Ngai.
Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;
43 Mpo na nini bozali kososola te elobeli na Ngai? Ezali mpo ete bozali kokoka te koyoka makambo oyo nazali koloba na bino.
wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
44 Ezali Satana nde azali tata na bino, mpe bolingi nde kaka kokokisa posa ya tata na bino. Wuta na ebandeli, ye azala mobomi; avandaka kati na solo te, pamba te solo ezalaka te kati na ye. Tango akosaka, alobaka penza makambo oyo ewutaka kati na ye; pamba te azali mokosi mpe tata ya lokuta.
'Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.
45 Kasi Ngai, lokola nalobi solo, yango wana bozali kondima Ngai te.
'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 Nani kati na bino akoki kotalisa Ngai ete nasali masumu? Soki nalobaka solo, mpo na nini bondimaka Ngai te?
Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?
47 Moto oyo azali ya Nzambe ayokaka makambo oyo Nzambe alobaka; kasi soki bino boyokaka te, ezali mpo ete bozali ya Nzambe te.
he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'
48 Bayuda bazongiselaki Ye: — Omoni! Yango wana tolobaki na biso ete ozali moto ya Samari mpe ozali na molimo mabe kati na yo.
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
49 Yesu azongisaki: — Nazali na molimo mabe te kati na Ngai. Ngai nazali nde kopesa Tata na Ngai lokumu, kasi bino bozali kotiola Ngai.
Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;
50 Nalukaka lokumu na Ngai moko te; ezali na Moko oyo alukaka yango mpe asambisaka.
and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
51 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto oyo akobatela Liloba na Ngai kati na ye akotikala kokufa te. (aiōn g165)
verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' (aiōn g165)
52 Na yango, Bayuda balobaki na Ye: — Tomoni sik’oyo ete ozali na molimo mabe kati na yo! Pamba te Abrayami asila kokufa, basakoli mpe lokola; bongo yo ozali koloba ete moto oyo akobatela Liloba na yo kati na ye akotikala kokufa te! (aiōn g165)
The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age! (aiōn g165)
53 Boni, yo okanisi ete oleki Abrayami, tata na biso, oyo akufa to mpe oleki basakoli nyonso oyo bakufa? Yango yo, ozali komimona nani?
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'
54 Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Soki namipesaki Ngai moko lokumu, lokumu na Ngai elingaki kozala na tina te. Kasi ezali Tata na Ngai, Ye oyo bino bozali koloba ete azali Nzambe na bino, nde azali kopesa Ngai lokumu.
Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;
55 Solo, bino, boyebi Ye te; kasi Ngai, nayebi Ye. Soki nameki koloba ete nayebi Ye te, wana nakozala mokosi lokola bino. Kasi nayebi Ye mpe nabatelaka Liloba na Ye.
and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;
56 Tata na bino, Abrayami, atondaki na esengo, wana akanisaki ete akomona mokolo na Ngai. Amonaki yango mpe atondaki na esengo.
Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
57 Bayuda balobaki na Ye: — Nini? Yo moto oyo okokisi nanu te ata mibu tuku mitano ya mbotama, ozali koloba ete omonaki Abrayami!
The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'
58 Yesu azongisaki: — Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: liboso ete Abrayami abotama, Ngai nazali.
Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;'
59 Tango Bayuda bayokaki bongo, balokotaki mabanga mpo na kobamba Yesu, kasi abombamaki mpe abimaki libanda ya lopango ya Tempelo.
they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
