Yuhana 8
1 Yesu wa ghana likup in Zaitun.
except Jesus, who went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Nin kwui dindin akuru ada nanya kutii nlira, anite vat da kitime; a tunna aso a dursuzo anite.
But he went again into the Temple Courts early in the morning, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.
3 Anan niyerte nin na Farisawa da nin mong uwani na iwa kifoghe nanya kulapi nfunu nin mong, iceoghe kitikmine.
Presently, however, the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placed her in the middle of the Court,
4 Inin woro Yesu ku. “Unan Dursuzu, uwani ulele, ikifogheari nanya kulapin nfunu, ima niyitan nsure.
and said to Jesus: “Teacher, this woman was found in the very act of adultery.
5 Nene nanya duke, Musa na woro nari asa ti filiso imus nnit une; fe nworo iyaghari kiteneme?”
Now Moses, in the Law, commanded us to stone such women to death; what do you say?”
6 Iwa belli nani inan kifoghe nin tikanci. Yesu tunna a tumuno a su inyerte kutyen nin licin me.
They said this to test him, in order to have a charge to bring against him. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 Na iwa li ubu nin tirighe, a fita a yissina a woro nani, “Ame ulenge na addi nin kulapi ba nanya mine, na amere cizin ufilughe nin litale.”
However, as they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said: “Let the person among you who has never done wrong throw the first stone at her.”
8 Akurru atumuno tutung niyerte nin licin me kutyen.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 Na inung lanza nani, itunna nyizu na lalarum, ucizunu nin kune udak unan ni maline. Ida malizina isuna Yesu ku nin usanme nin wani une na awa di kityek mine.
When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest; and Jesus was left alone with the woman in the middle of the Court.
10 Yesu fita aworo nwane, “Uwani, inung anan kifufe nde? Na umong mine nmolofi ba?”
Raising himself, Jesus said to her: “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?”
11 A wor, “Ko unit urum, Cikilari.” Yesu woro, “Na meng wang nse fi nin kulapi ba, Canfi, ucizunu nene udu nbun, na uwa kuru uti kulapi ba.”
“No one, Sir,” she answered. “Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus “go, and do not sin again.”
12 Yesu kuru asu uliru nin nanite aworo, “Menghari nkanang in yi; ulenge na a dofini na ama cinu nanya nsirti ba nani ama se nkanang nlai.”
Jesus again addressed the people. “I am the Light of the World,” he said. “He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.”
13 A Farisawa woroghe, “Una ushaida litife; na ushaida fe kidegeneri ba.”
“You are bearing testimony to yourself!” exclaimed the Pharisees, “your testimony is not trustworthy.”
14 Yesu kawa aworo nani, Andi ma nna ushaida litining, ushaida ning kidegenari. Meng yiru kikanga na nna nuzu ku, in yiru kikanga na ndin cinu udue, na anung dinin yiru kiti ka na inan nuzuku ba, sa kika na ndin cinu udue.
“Even if I bear testimony to myself,” answered Jesus, “my testimony is trustworthy; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, nor where I am going.
15 Anung din su ushara un yenju nyizi, meng din su umong ushara ba.
You judge by appearances; I judge no one.
16 Vat nani asa nsu ushara, ushara nighe kidegenari bara na ndi usanning ba ndi nin Cif ulenge na ana tuyi.
Yet, even if I were to judge, my judgment would be trustworthy; because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.
17 Nanere nanya nduka mine ina yertin au ushaida nanit anwaba kidegenere.
Why, in your own Law it is said that the testimony of two persons is trustworthy.
18 Menghari ame ulenge na ndin shaida litining, a ame Ucife na ana tuyi din nin ushaida litining.”
I, who bear testimony to myself, am one, and the Father who sent me also bears testimony to me.”
19 I woroghe, “Uciffe din weri?” Yesu kawa nani, “Na iyiru menku sa Ucif nin ba; idafo ina yiri, iwa yiru Ucif nighe wang.”
“Where is your father, then?” they asked. “You know neither me nor my Father,” replied Jesus. “If you had known me, you would have also known my Father.”
20 Awa belin uliru une susut nin kiti in nyeshizu nikurfu ayita ndursuzu nin kiti nanya kutii nlira, ana umong nkifoghe ba, bara na kubi me wa di kusa daba.
These statements Jesus made in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple Courts. Yet no one arrested him, for his time had not then come.
21 Akuru a woro nani, “Mma su ucin, ima piziri, inin kuzu nanya nalapi mine. Kiti kanga na nma du, na iwa sa idaku ba.”
Jesus again spoke to the people. “I am going away,” he said, “and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin; you cannot come where I am going.”
22 A Yahudaw woro, “Ama molu litime, ame ulenge na aworo, 'kiti kanga na ndin cinu udue, anung wasa ida ba?”
“Is he going to kill himself,” the Jews exclaimed, “that he says — ‘You cannot go where I am going’?”
23 Yesu woro nani, 'Anung anan kadassari; Meng unan kitenari, Anung anan yi ulelere, Na meng unan le uyere ba.
“You,” added Jesus, “are from below, I am from above; you are of this present world, I am not;
24 Bara nani, nworo minu, ima kuzu nanya nalapi mine. Andi na iyinna mere AME ba, ima kuzu nanya nalapi mine.”
and so I told you that you would die in your sins, for, unless you believe that I am what I am, you will die in your sins.”
25 Iworoghe nenge, “Feghari?” Yesu woro nani, “uliru urika na nna bellin minu nin cizine.
“Who are you?” they asked. “Why ask exactly what I have been telling you?” said Jesus.
26 Ndi nin nimon gbardang na nma su uliru ku, nkuru nsu ushara ku kitene mine. Vat nani, ulenge na ana tuyi di kidegen; a imon ilenge na nna lanza kitime, imonere ndin bellu uyie.
“I have still much that concerns you to speak of and to pass judgment on; yet he who sent me may be trusted, and I speak to the world only of the things which I have heard from him.”
27 Na iwa yinin nworu adin liru nanghinu liti Ncif ba.
They did not understand that he meant the Father.
28 Yesu woro, “Asa i ghantina Usaun Nnit kitene kani, Ima nin yinnu MERE, ima yinnu tutung na ndi su imoimong in litining ba. Nafo na Ucif na duzsuzoi, ndin belu ilenge imone.
So Jesus added: “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will understand that I am what I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but that I say just what the Father has taught me.
29 Ulenge na ana tuyi di ligowe nin mi, ana ama suni ussaning ba, bara ndin su imon ilenge na idin puzughe liburi.”
Moreover, he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; for I always do what pleases him.”
30 Kube na Yesu wa din bellu nleli ulirue, gbardang nanit wa yinnin nighe.
While he was speaking in this way, many came to believe in him.
31 Yesu wa woro na Yahudawa alenge na iwa yinnin nighe, “Asa ileo ubun nanya nliru nighe, kidegenere anung nono katwa nighari;
So Jesus went on to say to those Jews who had believed him: “If you remain constant to my Message, you are truly my disciples;
32 Ima nin yinnu kidegene, kidegenere ma bunku minu utucu.”
and you find out the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.”
33 I kawa ghe, Arik kuwunun Ibrahimari na tisa su licin nacara nmong ba; inyizari uma woru, 'Ima se ubuntu iso fong?”
“We are descendants of Abraham,” was their answer, “and have never yet been in slavery to any one. What do you mean by saying ‘you will be set free’?”
34 Yesu kawa nani, “Kidegenere ndin bellu minu, vat nlenge na ata kulapi, ame kucin kulapiari.
“In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “every one who sins is a slave to sin.
And a slave does not remain in the home always; but a son remains always. (aiōn g165)
36 Andi usaune ma bunku minu, nanere wang ima se ubuntu.
If, then, the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!
37 Nyiru anung kuwunun Ibrahimari; idin pizuru umoli, bara na uliru ninghe se kitin so nanya mine ba.
I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you are seeking to put me to death, because my Message finds no place in your hearts.
38 Nbele imon ilenge in yene nin Cifning, anung ani din su imon ilenge na ina lanza kitin Cif mine.”
I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learned from your father.”
39 I kawa iworo, “Ucif bit Ibrahimari.” Yesu woro nani, Ndafo anung nonon Ibrahimari, iwa su katwan Ibrahime.
“Our father is Abraham,” was their answer. “If you are Abraham’s children,” replied Jesus, “do what Abraham did.
40 Vat nani, inani pizira imoli, unit ulenge na a belin minu kidegen kanga na a lanza kiti kutelle. Na Ibrahim nasu ilenge imone ba.
But, as it is, you are seeking to put me to death — a man who has told you the Truth as he heard it from God. Abraham did not act in that way.
41 Idin su nitwa ncif minere.” I woroghe, “Na iwa maru nari nanya nfunu ba; tidi nin Cif urum, Kutelle.”
You are doing what your own father does.” “We are not bastards,” they said, “we have one Father — God himself.”
42 Yesu woro nani, “Andi Kutelle Ucif minere, iwa yitu nin su ninghe, bara meng na nuzu kiti Kutellari nda; na nna dak bara litining ba, amere na tuyi.
“If God were your Father,” Jesus replied, “you would have loved me, for I came out from God, and now am here; and I have not come of myself, but he sent me as his Messenger.
43 Iyaghari nta na i yinno uliru nighe ba? Bara na idi nin su ilanza uliru nighere ba.
How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my Message.
44 Anung nonon cif minere, shaitan, inani din pizuru isu ntok imusun min cif mie. Ame unan molusu nanitari nworu ucizunue ana adi nin yissunu kitene kidegen ba, bara na kidegen di nanya me ba. Asa a belle kinu, asa asu dert nin yitu mere, bara ame unan kinuwari a Ucif kinu.
As for you, you are children of your Father the Devil, and you are determined to do what your father loves to do. He was a murderer from the first, and did not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he does what is natural to him; because he is a liar, and the father of lying.
45 Vat nani, bara na ndin belu kidegene, na anunghe in yinna ning me ba.
But, as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.
46 Ghari nanya mine nseyi nin kulapi? Andi ndin bellu kidegen, iyaghari nta na iyinna nin mi ba?
Which of you can convict me of sin? Why then do not you believe me, if I am speaking truth?
47 Ame ulenge na adi un Kutelle din lanzu uliru Kutelle; na anung din lanzu unin ba, bara anung anit Kutelleari ba.”
He who comes from God listens to God’s teaching; the reason why you do not listen is because you do not come from God.”
48 A Yahudawa kawa i woroghe, “Tina belin kidegene au fe kunan Samariyaridi, tutung udi nin na gbergenu?
“Are not we right, after all,” replied the Jews, “in saying that you are a Samaritan, and are possessed by a demon?”
49 Yesu kawa a woro, “Na meng di nin ku gbergenu ba; ama meng din ti Ucif ning gongong, anung ani na ita yi gongon ba.
“I am not possessed by a demon,” Jesus answered, “but I am showing reverence for my Father; and yet you have no reverence for me.
50 Na meng din pizuru ngongon lit ning ba, unit urumari din pizuru akuru asu ushara.
Not that I am seeking honour for myself; there is one who is seeking my honour, and he decides.
51 Kidegenere ndin bellu minu, asa umong lanza uliru nighe, asu katwa mun, na ama yenu ukul ba.” (aiōn g165)
In truth I tell you, if any one lays my Message to heart, he will never really die.” (aiōn g165)
52 A Yahudawa woroghe, “Nene tiyinno udinin kugbergenu. Ibrahim nin na anabawa na kuzu; fe unin woro, 'Asa umon lanza uliru nighe na aba yenu ukul ba.' (aiōn g165)
“Now we are sure that you are possessed by a demon,” the Jews replied. “Abraham died, and so did the Prophets; and yet you say ‘If any one lays my Message to heart, he will never know death.’ (aiōn g165)
53 Na Fe katin Ucif bite Ibrahime, na ana kuba, sa ukatinghe? A a anabawa wang na kuzu, Fe yira litife iyaghari?”
Are you greater than our ancestor Abraham, who died? And the Prophets died too. Whom do you make yourself out to be?”
54 Yesu kawa nani, aworo, “Asa nta liti ninghe ngongong, ngongong nighe di imon ba; Ucif nighari ulenge na ama ti ngongong- ame ulenge na anung woro Kutelle minere.
“If I do honour to myself,” answered Jesus, “such honour counts for nothing. It is my Father who does me honour — and you say that he is your God;
55 Anung pa na iyirughe ba, ame meng yirughe. Andi nma belle na nyirughe nma so nafo anughe, unan kinu. Vat nani, nyirughe, nmini din dortu uliru me.
and yet you have not learned to know him; but I know him; and, if I were to say that I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him, and I lay his Message to heart.
56 Ucif mine Ibrahim wasu liburi libo ninyenu nwui nighe; awa yene unin, ayi poghe.”
Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; and he did see it, and was glad.”
57 A Yahudawa woroghe, “Na usa duru akus akut ataun ba, ama fe uni na yene Ibrahim kua?
“You are not fifty years old yet,” the Jews exclaimed, “and have you seen Abraham?”
58 Yesu woro nani, “kidegenere ndin bellu minu, a idutu sa umaru Ibarahim ku, MENG wa yita ku.”
“In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “before Abraham existed I was.”
59 I tunna i pila atala ima filusughe mun, Yesu tunna a nyeshe litime a nuzu nanya kutii nlire a nya.
At this they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and left the Temple Courts.
