Yuhana 8
1 Yesu wa ghana likup in Zaitun.
but Jesus 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.
At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself;
3 Anan niyerte nin na Farisawa da nin mong uwani na iwa kifoghe nanya kulapi nfunu nin mong, iceoghe kitikmine.
and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put the case to Him.
4 Inin woro Yesu ku. “Unan Dursuzu, uwani ulele, ikifogheari nanya kulapin nfunu, ima niyitan nsure.
"Rabbi," they said, "this woman has been found in the very act of committing adultery.
5 Nene nanya duke, Musa na woro nari asa ti filiso imus nnit une; fe nworo iyaghari kiteneme?”
Now, in the Law, Moses has ordered us to stone such women to death. But what do you say?"
6 Iwa belli nani inan kifoghe nin tikanci. Yesu tunna a tumuno a su inyerte kutyen nin licin me.
They asked this in order to put Him to the test, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger on the ground.
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.”
When however they persisted with their question, He raised His head and said to them, "Let the sinless man among you be the first to throw a stone at her."
8 Akurru atumuno tutung niyerte nin licin me kutyen.
Then He leant forward again, and again began to write 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.
They listened to Him, and then, beginning with the eldest, took their departure, one by one, till all were gone. And Jesus was left behind alone--and the woman in the centre of the court.
10 Yesu fita aworo nwane, “Uwani, inung anan kifufe nde? Na umong mine nmolofi ba?”
Then, raising His head, Jesus said to her, "Where are they? Has no one condemned 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 replied. "And I do not condemn you either," said Jesus; "go, and from this time do not sin any more."]
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.”
Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the Light of the world," He said; "the man who follows me shall certainly not walk in the dark, but shall have the light of Life."
13 A Farisawa woroghe, “Una ushaida litife; na ushaida fe kidegeneri ba.”
"You are giving testimony about yourself," said the Pharisees; "your testimony is not true."
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 am giving testimony about myself," replied Jesus, "my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you know neither of these two things.
15 Anung din su ushara un yenju nyizi, meng din su umong ushara ba.
You judge according to appearances: I am judging no one.
16 Vat nani asa nsu ushara, ushara nighe kidegenari bara na ndi usanning ba ndi nin Cif ulenge na ana tuyi.
And even if I do judge, my judgement is just; for 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.
In your own Law, too, it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Menghari ame ulenge na ndin shaida litining, a ame Ucife na ana tuyi din nin ushaida litining.”
I am one giving testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony about 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?" they asked. "You know my Father as little as you know me." He replied; "if you knew me, you would know my Father also."
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 sayings He uttered in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet 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.”
Again He said to them, "I am going away. Then you will try to find me, but you will die in your sins. Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come."
22 A Yahudaw woro, “Ama molu litime, ame ulenge na aworo, 'kiti kanga na ndin cinu udue, anung wasa ida ba?”
The Jews began to ask one another, "Is he going to kill himself, do you think, that he says, 'Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come'?"
23 Yesu woro nani, 'Anung anan kadassari; Meng unan kitenari, Anung anan yi ulelere, Na meng unan le uyere ba.
"You," He continued, "are from below, I am from above: you are of this present world, I am not of this present world.
24 Bara nani, nworo minu, ima kuzu nanya nalapi mine. Andi na iyinna mere AME ba, ima kuzu nanya nalapi mine.”
That is why I told you that you will die in your sins; for, unless you believe that I am He, that is what will happen."
25 Iworoghe nenge, “Feghari?” Yesu woro nani, “uliru urika na nna bellin minu nin cizine.
"You--who are you?" they asked. "How is it that I am speaking to you at all?" replied 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.
"Many things I have to speak and to judge concerning you. But He who sent me is true, and the things which I have heard from Him are those which I have come into the world to speak."
27 Na iwa yinin nworu adin liru nanghinu liti Ncif ba.
They did not perceive that He was speaking to them of 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 know that I am He. Of myself I do nothing; but as the Father has taught me, so I speak.
29 Ulenge na ana tuyi di ligowe nin mi, ana ama suni ussaning ba, bara ndin su imon ilenge na idin puzughe liburi.”
And He who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone: for I do always what is pleasing to Him."
30 Kube na Yesu wa din bellu nleli ulirue, gbardang nanit wa yinnin nighe.
As He thus spoke, many became believers in Him.
31 Yesu wa woro na Yahudawa alenge na iwa yinnin nighe, “Asa ileo ubun nanya nliru nighe, kidegenere anung nono katwa nighari;
Jesus therefore said to those of the Jews who had now believed in Him, "As for you, if you hold fast to my teaching, then you are truly my disciples;
32 Ima nin yinnu kidegene, kidegenere ma bunku minu utucu.”
and you shall know the Truth, and the Truth will make 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," they answered, "and have never at any time been in slavery to any one. What do those words of yours mean, 'You shall become free'?"
34 Yesu kawa nani, “Kidegenere ndin bellu minu, vat nlenge na ata kulapi, ame kucin kulapiari.
"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that every one who commits sin is the slave of sin.
Now a slave does not remain permanently in his master's house, but a son does. (aiōn g165)
36 Andi usaune ma bunku minu, nanere wang ima se ubuntu.
If then the Son shall make 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.
You are descendants of Abraham, I know; but you want to kill me, because my teaching gains no ground within you.
38 Nbele imon ilenge in yene nin Cifning, anung ani din su imon ilenge na ina lanza kitin Cif mine.”
The words I speak are those I have learnt in the presence of the Father. Therefore you also should do what you have heard 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," they said. "If you were Abraham's children," replied Jesus, "it is Abraham's deeds that you would be doing.
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, in fact, you are longing to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth which I have heard from God. Abraham did not do that.
41 Idin su nitwa ncif minere.” I woroghe, “Na iwa maru nari nanya nfunu ba; tidi nin Cif urum, Kutelle.”
You are doing the deeds of your father." "We," they replied, "are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, namely God."
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," said Jesus, "you would love me; for it is from God that I came and I am now here. I have not come of myself, but He sent me.
43 Iyaghari nta na i yinno uliru nighe ba? Bara na idi nin su ilanza uliru nighere ba.
How is it you do not understand me when I speak? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my words.
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.
The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do what gives him pleasure. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth--for there is no truth in him. Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
45 Vat nani, bara na ndin belu kidegene, na anunghe in yinna ning me ba.
But because I speak the truth, 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 convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Ame ulenge na adi un Kutelle din lanzu uliru Kutelle; na anung din lanzu unin ba, bara anung anit Kutelleari ba.”
He who is a child of God listens to God's words. You do not listen to them: and why? It is because you are not God's children."
48 A Yahudawa kawa i woroghe, “Tina belin kidegene au fe kunan Samariyaridi, tutung udi nin na gbergenu?
"Are we not right," answered 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," replied Jesus. "On the contrary I honour my Father, and you dishonour me.
50 Na meng din pizuru ngongon lit ning ba, unit urumari din pizuru akuru asu ushara.
I, however, am not aiming at glory for myself: there is One who aims at glory for me--and who judges.
51 Kidegenere ndin bellu minu, asa umong lanza uliru nighe, asu katwa mun, na ama yenu ukul ba.” (aiōn g165)
In most solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall have obeyed my teaching he shall in no case ever see death." (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," exclaimed the Jews, "we know that you are possessed by a demon. Abraham died, and so did the Prophets, and yet you say, 'If any one shall have obeyed my teaching, he shall in no case ever taste 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 really greater than our forefather Abraham? For he died. And the prophets died. Who 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.
"Were I to glorify myself," answered Jesus, "I should have no real glory. There is One who glorifies me--namely my Father, who you say 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.
You do not know Him, but I know Him perfectly; and were I to deny my knowledge of Him, I should resemble you, and be a liar. On the contrary I do know Him, and I obey His commands.
56 Ucif mine Ibrahim wasu liburi libo ninyenu nwui nighe; awa yene unin, ayi poghe.”
Abraham your forefather exulted in the hope of seeing my day: and he saw 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 yet fifty years old," cried the Jews, "and have you seen Abraham?"
58 Yesu woro nani, “kidegenere ndin bellu minu, a idutu sa umaru Ibarahim ku, MENG wa yita ku.”
"In most solemn truth," answered Jesus, "I tell you that before Abraham came into existence, I am."
59 I tunna i pila atala ima filusughe mun, Yesu tunna a nyeshe litime a nuzu nanya kutii nlire a nya.
Thereupon they took up stones with which to stone Him, but He hid Himself and went away out of the Temple.
