Yohane 8
1 Lino Yesu walaya ku mulundu wa ma olifi.
And at dawn he came again to the temple,
2 Mumene mene walaya ku Nga'nda yaLesa. Bantu bonse balesa kulyendiye, walekala panshi nekutatika kubeyisha.
and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
3 Bafalisi neBeshiwiyisha Milawo balaleta mutukashi ngobalekata bupombo, nekumwimanika pakati pabo.
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 Lino balambila Yesu, “Bashikwiyisha, mutukashuyu wacanika kapombolwa.
they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
5 Lino kwelana ne Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose mutukashi uyu wela kupwaiwa mabwe. Nomba amwe mulambangapongaconi?”
and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
6 Balamwipusha mwipusho uyu pakumwelesha kwambeti bamucaninepo mulandu. Nomba Yesu pacindi copeleco walakotama, nekutatika kulemba panshi ne munwe wakendi.
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 Pakupitilisha kumwipusha, Yesu walakotamuka nekubambileti, “pakati penu uyo utana kucimwapo, ayambilile kumanta libwe amupwaye mutukashi uyu.”
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 Mpwalambeco, kayi walakotama nekupitilisha kulemba panshi.
and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
9 Mpobalanyumfweco bantu balatatika kufumapo umo neumo, bamakulene ebalatatikila kupalangana. Lino palashalowa mutukashi usa kaliwemana pantangu pa Yesu.
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 walakotamuka nekumwipusha, “Mutukashi obe balayikupeyo bakupanga mulandu? Sena paliya nambi umo lashalapo kukupa mulandu?”
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 Mutukashi walambeti, “Mwami, paliya.” Neye Yesu walamwambileti, “Nenjame nkandakupanga mulandu sobwe. Koya nsombi kuyambila lelo kotakabweshapo kwipisha.”
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 Kayi Yesu walambila bantu bonse, “Ame njame mumuni ulamunikilinga bantu bonse. Muntu lankonkonga, nteshi akende mumushinshe, nsombi nakekale mu mumuni weshikupa buyumi.”
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 Nabo Bafalisi balamwambileti, “Ulalinshilinga bukamboni omwine. Bukamboni ubo ntebo bwakubinga.”
The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
14 Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Nambi ndalinshilinga bukamboni, bukamboni bwakame nibwakubinga, pakwinga ndikwinshi nkondalafuma nenkondenga. Nsombi amwe nkamukwinshi nkondalafuma, nambi nenkondenga.
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 Amwe mukute kombolosha pakukonka miyeyo ya bantu. Ame nkankute kombolosha muntu uliyense.
'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
16 Nsombi ndambeti ng'omboloshe, kombolosha kwakame ngakuba kwancine ncine, pakwinga nkandipo ndenka sobwe, pakwinga Bata balantuma balinenjame.
and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
17 Kayi mumilawo yenu mwalembweti bukamboni bwa bantu babili nibwakubinga
and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
18 Ame nkute kulinshila bukamboni, nabo Bata balantuma bakute kunjinshila bukamboni.”
I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'
19 Lino nabo balamwipusheti, “Baiso abo balikupeyo?” Yesu walambeti, “Nkamunjishi, kayi ne Bata nkamubenshi. Nimunjinshi nimubenshi Bata.”
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 walamba maswi awa mpwalikwiyisha mu Nga'nda ya Lesa, mucipinda cakutambulilamo bupe bwa bantu. Paliya walamwikata, pakwinga cindi cakendi calinkacitana cishika.
These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;
21 Panyuma pakendi Yesu kayi walabambileti, “Ame ndenga, nimukanangaule, nomba nkondenga amwe nkamwela kushikako nimukafwilowa mubwipishi.”
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 Lino Bayuda balambeti, “Sena layandanga kulishina, pakwambeti, ‘nkondenga, nkamwela kushikako?”
The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'
23 Yesu walabambileti, “Amwe njamwe ba pacishi capanshi pano, ame ndalafuma kwilu. Amwe mobapanshi pano, nsombi ame ntame wapacishi capanshi sobwe.
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 Weco ndalamwambilingeti. nimukafwile mubwipishi bwenu. Pakwinga na nkamulashomonga kwambeti njame wopeloyo lalyambanga, nimukafwile mubwipishi bwenu.”
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 Lino nabo balamwipusheti, “Obe njobe bani?” Yesu walambeti, “Mbuli ncondamwambilanga pakuyamba.
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 Nkute bingi byakwamba nebyakumomboloshelapo. Walantuma niwancine ncine, kayi nkute kwambila bantu bapanshi pano bintu mbyendalanyumfwa kulyendiye.”
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 Bantu basa baliya kwinshibeti Yesu walikwamba sha Baishi.
They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
28 Lino Yesu walabambileti, “Mwakantantika Mwana Muntu, popelapo nimukenshibeti njame wopeloyo lalyambanga. Nimukenshibe kwambeti nkankute kwinsa bintu pandenka, nkute kwamba ibyo Bata mbyobalanjiyisha.
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 Nsombi uyo walantuma, uli pamo nenjame. Nendi nkakute kunshiya ndenka, pakwinga cindi conse nkute kwinsa byeshi kumukondwelesha.”
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 Mpobalanyumfwa Yesu nkamba makani awa, bantu bangi balamushoma.
As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
31 Yesu walambila bantu abo balamushoma, “Na mulakonkelenga kwiyisha kwakame cindi conse, cakubinga nimube beshikwiya bakame.
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 Nimwinshibe cakubinga, kayi naco cakubinga nicikamusungululeni.”
and the truth shall make you free.'
33 Nabo balambeti, “Afwe njafwe bana ba Abulahamu, kayi nkatuna tubapo basha ba muntu uliyense. Nomba aconi ulambangeti, ‘nimukasungululwe?”
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 walabakumbuleti, “Ndamwambilinga cakubinga kwambeti muntu uliyense lenshinga bwipishi nimusha kubwipishi.
Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,
and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; (aiōn g165)
36 Lino namwana lamusungululu, okwambeti mulasungululwa cancine ncine.
if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
37 Ndicinshi kwambeti njamwe bana ba Abulahamu, nsombi mulayandanga kunshina, pakwinga nkamulasumininga maswi akame mumyoyo mwenu.
'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;
38 Ame nkute kwamba ibyo mbyondalabona kuli Bata, nsombi amwe mulenshinga mbyomwalanyumfwa kuli bameshenu.”
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 Nabo balambeti, “Bameshetu ni Abulahamu.” Neye Yesu walabambileti, “nemuli bana ba Abulahamu, ne mulenshinga bintu mbyalikwinsa.
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 Nomba lino mulayandanga kunshina, ame ndamwambilinga makani akubinga ngondalanyumfwa kuli Lesa. Abulahamu liya kwinsapo bintu byamushobo uyu sobwe.
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 Amwe mulenshinga ibyo bameshenu mbyobakute kwinsa.” Nabo balamwambileti, “ntafwe bana bamu bupombo sobwe, tukutowa mushali wetu umo, Lesa.”
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 walambeti, “Lesa nabanga mushali wenu, ne mwalansuna, pakwinga ndalafuma kuli Lesa, nomba lino ndikuno. Ndiya kwisa mungofu shakame, nsombi sha uyo walantuma.
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 Nomba nicani nkamulanyumfunga mbyondambanga? Pakwinga nkamwela kukonsha nekunyumfwa maswi akame.
wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
44 Amwe mwalafuma kuli mushali wenu Satana. Pakwinga emubepeshi kayi shikushina kufuminowa cindi cakunyuma kayi, mulyendiye muliya cancine ncine sobwe. Ambanga ukute kwambowa bya mumutwi wakendi
'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 Nsombi ame nkute kwamba cakubinga, weco nkamulanshomonga.
'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 Nibani pakati penu welakumpa mulandu wabwipishi? Nipacebo cini ndamwambilanga cakubinga, nkamulashomonga?
Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?
47 Muntu waLesa ukute kukutika maswi a Lesa, nomba amwe mulakananga kunyumfwa, pakwinga ntamwe bantu baLesa.”
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 Popelapo ba Yuda balamwipusheti, “Sena afwe nkatulambanga cakubingeti njobe wakuSamaliya, kayi wekatwa ne mushimu waipa?”
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
49 Yesu walambeti, “Ndiyawa mushimu waipa. Nkute kulemeka Bata, nsombi amwe nkamukute kumpa bulemu.
Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;
50 Nsombi nkandayandanga kulemekwa, nsombi nkwali layandangeti mpewe bulemu, kayi eukute kombolosha mubululami.
and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' (aiōn g165)
52 Lino bantu balamwambileti, “Lino tulenshibi kwambeti ukute mushimu waipa. Abulahamu nebashinshimi bonse balafwa! Nomba obe ulambangeti muntu anyumfwa makani akobe nteshi akafwe sobwe. (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 Sena obe wapita Abulahamu mushali wetu mukulukulu nebashinshimi bonse balafwa? Nomba ulayeyengeti njobe bani?”
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'
54 Yesu walambeti, “Na kandilipa bulemu, bulemubo nibwabulyo. Nomba Bata, bakute kumpa bulemu, abo nenjamwe mbomulambangeti eLesa wenu.
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 Amwe muliya kumwinshiba, nsombi ame ndimwinshi, nendalambeti nkandimwinshi nendalaba mubepeshi mbuli ncemubele. Nomba ame ndimwinshi weco nkute kunyumfwa maswi akendi.
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 Mushali wenu mukulukulu Abulahamu walikuba walasekelela kubona kwisa kwakame. Kayi walakondwa.”
Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
57 Lino ba Yuda balamwipusheti, “Byaka byakobe nkabina bikwana nambi makumi asanu, ngowambaconi eti walamubona Abulahamu?”
The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'
58 Yesu walambeti, “Ndamwambilinga cakubinga, Abulahamu nkatanasemwa, ndalikubapo.”
Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;'
59 Lino mpobalanyumfweco balabwesa mabwe kwambeti bamupwaye. Nsombi Yesu walasolama ne kupita mubantu nekufuma mu Nga'nda ya Lesa.
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.
