< John 7 >

1 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏂᏙᎸ ᏥᏌ ᎨᎵᎵ ᎤᏪᏙᎸᎩ; ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏳᏚᎵᏍᎨ ᏧᏗᏱ ᎤᏪᏓᏍᏗᏱ, ᏅᏓᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎩ ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᎠᎾᏁᎶᏗᏍᎬ ᎬᏩᎯᏍᏗᏱ.

2 Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was near.

ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᏕᎦᎵᏦᏛᎢ-ᏧᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗᏱ ᎤᏍᏆᎸᎯᏗᏒᎩ.

3 His brothers therefore said to him, Depart from here, and go into Judea so that thy disciples also may see thy works that thou do.

ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏟᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏂᎬᏩᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᎭᏓᏅᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᏗᏱ ᏫᎶᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎨᏣᏍᏓᏩᏗᏙᎯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏂᎪᎲᎭ ᏄᏍᏛ ᏕᏣᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲᎢ.

4 For no man does anything in secret, and he himself seeks to be in public. If thou do these things, show thyself to the world.

ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎠᏥᎦᏔᎯ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏧᏚᎵᏍᎪᎢ ᎤᏕᎵᏛ ᏱᏚᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎰᎢ. ᎢᏳᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᎿᎭᏛᏁᎮᏍᏗ, ᎡᎶᎯ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᏯᏛᏂᏏ.

5 For not even his brothers believed in him.

ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏟᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎥᏝ ᏱᎬᏬᎯᏳᎲᏍᎨᎢ.

6 Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet here, but your time is always ready.

ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᏥᏌ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏚᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᎥᏝ ᎠᏏ ᏯᎩᏍᏆᎸᎡᎭ; ᏂᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᎪᎯᎸᏉ ᎢᏥᏍᏆᎸᎡᎰᎢ.

7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

ᎡᎶᎯ ᎥᏝ ᎢᏥᏍᎦᎩ ᏱᏅᎦᎵᏍᏓ; ᎠᏴᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᎩᏍᎦᎦ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᏥᏥᏃᎮᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏚᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲ ᎤᏲᎢᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ.

8 Go ye up to this feast. I am not yet going to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.

ᏂᎯ ᏙᏗᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᎲᏍᎬ ᎢᏤᎾ; ᎥᏝ ᎠᏏ ᎠᏴ ᏙᏗᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᎲᏍᎬ ᏴᏓᎨᏏ; ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎠᏏ ᏯᎩᏍᏆᎸᎡᎸ.

9 And having said these things to them, he remained in Galilee.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏚᏪᏎᎸ, ᎠᏏᏉ ᎤᏪᏙᎸᎩ ᎨᎵᎵ.

10 But when his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in private.

ᎠᏎᏃ ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏟ ᎤᏁᏅᏛ ᏂᎨᏐᎢ, ᎿᎭᏉ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏙᏗᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᎲᏍᎬ ᎤᏪᏅᏒᎩ, ᎥᏝ ᎬᏂᎨᏒᎢ, ᎤᏕᎵᏛᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ.

11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?

ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᎬᏩᏲᎸᎩ ᏓᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᎲᏍᎬᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏂᏪᏒᎩ; ᎭᏢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎡᏙᎭ?

12 And there was much murmuring among the multitudes about him. Some said, He is a good man, others said, No, but he leads the multitude astray.

ᎤᏣᏛᏃ ᎤᏕᎵᏛ ᏓᎾᎵᏃᎮᎵᏙᎲᎩ ᏴᏫ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏩᏃᎮᏍᎬᎢ; ᎢᎦᏛᏰᏃ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏂᏪᏍᎬᎩ; ᎣᏏᏳ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ; ᎢᎦᏛᏃ, ᎥᏝ, ᏕᎦᎶᏄᎮᏉ ᏴᏫ, ᎠᎾᏗᏍᎬᎩ.

13 Yet no man spoke openly about him because of fear of the Jews.

ᎠᏎᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏳᏃᎮᏍᎨᎢ, ᎤᏓᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎩ ᏓᏂᎾᏰᏍᎬ ᎠᏂᏧᏏ.

14 And when it was now in the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᎠᏰᎵ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎠᎵᏰᎢᎵᏒ ᏓᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᎲᏍᎬᎢ ᏥᏌ ᎤᏛᏅ-ᏗᎦᎳᏫᎢᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᏴᎸᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏚᏕᏲᏅᎩ.

15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How does this man know scholarly material, not having learned?

ᎠᏂᏧᏏᏃ ᎤᏂᏍᏆᏂᎪᏒᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏄᏂᏪᏒᎩ; ᎦᏙ ᎤᎵᏍᏙᏔᏅ ᎯᎠ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ᎪᏪᎵ ᏗᏏᎾᏏᏳ ᏥᎩ, ᏧᏕᎶᏆᎥᎯᏃ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ?

16 Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me.

ᏥᏌ ᏚᏁᏤᎸᎩ, ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏒᎩ; ᏥᏕᎦᏕᏲᎲᏍᎦ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᏆᏤᎵᎦ ᏱᎩ, ᎤᏤᎵᎦᏍᎩᏂ ᏅᏛᎩᏅᏏᏛ.

17 If any man wants to do his will, he will know about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or I speak from myself.

ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏚᎵᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎤᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᏧᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗᏱ, ᎠᏎ ᎤᏙᎴᎰᎯᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏕᎦᏕᏲᎲᏍᎦ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᏥᏬᏂᏍᎬ ᎠᏋᏒᏉ ᎠᏆᏓᏅᏖᎸᎯ ᎢᎨᏎᏍᏗ.

18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, this man is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.

ᎩᎶ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎤᏓᏅᏖᏛ ᏥᎦᏬᏂᏍᎪᎢ, ᎤᏩᏒᏉ ᎠᏥᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎤᏲᎰᎢ; ᎩᎶᏍᎩᏂ ᏅᏓᏳᏅᏏᏛ ᎠᏥᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏧᏲᎰᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏐᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᎠᏠᎾᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏳᏓᏑᏲᎢ.

19 Did not Moses give you the law, and none of you does the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?

20 The multitude answered and said, Thou have a demon. Who seeks to kill thee?

ᎤᏂᏣᏘ ᎤᏂᏁᏨᎩ, ᎯᎠ ᏄᏂᏪᏒᎩ; ᎠᏍᎩᎾ ᏣᏯᎠ; ᎦᎪ ᎤᏚᎵ ᏣᎯᏍᏗᏱ?

21 Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this.

ᏥᏌ ᎤᏁᏨᎩ, ᎯᎠ ᏂᏚᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᏑᏓᎴᎩ ᏓᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎸ, ᏂᏥᎥᏃ ᎢᏥᏍᏆᏂᎪᏍᎦ.

22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on a sabbath.

23 If a man receives circumcision on a sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be loosed, are ye angry with me because I made a man entirely well on a sabbath?

ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ᎤᎾᏙᏓᏆᏍᎬ ᎢᎦ ᏯᏥᎤᏍᏕᏎᎭ, ᏱᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎼᏏ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎤᏲᎢᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏥᎪ ᎢᏍᎩᏍᎦᎦ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ᏂᎬ ᎠᏰᎸ ᏥᏥᏅᏩᏅ ᎤᎾᏙᏓᏆᏍᎬ ᎢᎦ?

24 Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

ᏞᏍᏗ ᏕᏣᎧᏂᏍᎬᏉ ᏱᏗᏧᎪᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᏚᏳᎪᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᏕᏧᎪᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ.

25 Therefore some of the Jerusalemites said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᎢᎦᏛ ᏥᎷᏏᎵᎻ ᎠᏁᎯ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏂᏪᏒᎩ, ᏝᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎯᎠ ᏱᎩ ᏧᎾᏚᎵ ᎤᏂᎯᏍᏗᏱ?

26 And lo, he speaks in public, and they say nothing to him. Perhaps the rulers really know that this really is the Christ?

ᎬᏂᏳᏉᏃ ᎾᏍᎦᎢᎲᎾ ᎦᏬᏂᎭ, ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏯᏃᏎᎭ. ᏥᏌ ᎤᏂᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯ ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ?

27 However we know this man, where he is from, but when the Christ comes, no man knows where he is from.

ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏗᎦᏔᎭ ᎯᎠ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᎢ, ᎦᎶᏁᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᎦᎷᏨᎭ ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᏱᎬᎦᏔᎮᏍᏗ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᎢ.

28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know where I am from? And I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom ye know not.

ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᏥᏌ ᎤᏪᎷᏅᎩ ᎤᏛᏅᏗᎦᎳᏫᎢᏍᏗᏱ ᏓᏕᏲᎲᏍᎬᎢ, ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏒᎩ; ᏍᎩᎦᏔᎭ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎭ ᏗᏆᏓᎴᏅᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᎠᏋᏒᏉ ᎠᏆᏓᏅᏖᏛ ᏯᎩᎷᏨ, ᏅᏛᎩᏅᏏᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᏚᏳᎪᏛᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏁᏥᎦᏔᎲᎾ ᏥᎩ.

29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.

ᎠᏴᏍᎩᏂ ᏥᎦᏔᎭ, ᎾᎿᎭᏰᏃ ᏅᏛᏆᏓᎴᏅᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᎩᏅᏒ.

30 They sought therefore to seize him, and yet no man laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.

ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏖᎸᎩ ᎬᏩᏂᏴᏗᏱ: ᎠᏎᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᏳᏏᏔᏕᎢ, ᏅᏓᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎩ ᎠᏏ ᏄᏍᏆᎸᎡᎸᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ.

31 But many from the crowd believed in him, and they said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these that this man did?

ᎠᎴ ᎤᏂᏣᏛᎩ ᎬᏬᎯᏳᏅᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏂᏪᏒᎩ; ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎦᎷᏨᎭ, ᏥᎪ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎤᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗ ᏙᏓᏳᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎵ, ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏚᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎸ?

32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent subordinates so that they might take him.

ᎠᏂᏆᎵᏏ ᎤᎾᏛᎦᏅᎩ ᎤᏂᏣᏘ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏩᏃᎮᏍᎬ ᎤᏕᎵᏛ ᏓᎾᎵᏃᎮᎵᏙᎲᎢ. ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂᏆᎵᏏ ᏄᏂᎬᏫᏳᏒᏃ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎠᏁᎶᎯ ᏚᏂᏅᏒᎩ ᏗᎾᏓᏂᏱᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏭᏂᏂᏴᏗᏱ.

33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little time I am with you, and then I go to him who sent me.

ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᏥᏌ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏚᏪᏎᎸᎩ; ᎠᏏ ᏞᎦ ᎢᏨᏰᎳᏗᏙᎭ, ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᏅᏛᎩᏅᏏᏛ ᏧᏬᎸ ᏮᏛᏥᎶᏏ.

34 Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and where I am, ye cannot come.

ᏍᎩᏲᎮᏍᏗ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᏓᏍᎩᏯᏠᏥ; ᎠᎴ ᏫᎨᎥ ᎥᏝ ᏰᎵ ᏫᏴᎨᏥᎷᎩ.

35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, Where is this man going to go that we will not find him? Is he going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏚᎾᏓᏪᏎᎸᎩ, ᎭᏢ ᏮᏓᎦᎶᏏ, ᎦᏰᏗᏩᏛᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎢᎨᏎᏍᏗ? ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛᏍᎪ ᏴᏫ ᏓᏁᏩᏗᏒ ᎤᎾᏗᎦᎴᏲᏨᎯ ᏙᏛᏩᏛᎮᏏ, ᎠᎴ ᏫᏙᏓᎨᏲᏂ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ?

36 What is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and, Where I am, ye cannot come?

ᎦᏙ ᎦᏛᎦ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏄᏪᏒ; ᏍᎩᏲᎮᏍᏗ ᎠᏎᏃ ᏓᏍᎩᏯᏠᏥ, ᎠᎴ ᏫᎨᎥᎢ ᎥᏝ ᏫᏴᎨᏥᎷᎩ?

37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus had stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

ᎤᎵᏍᏆᎸᏗᏃ ᎢᎦ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᎸᏉᏗ ᎢᎦ ᎨᏒ ᏓᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᎲᏍᎬᎢ, ᏥᏌ ᏚᎴᏅᎩ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏪᎷᏅᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏒᎩ; ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏔᏕᎩᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎠᏴ ᏩᎩᎷᏥ, ᎠᎴ ᏩᏗᏔ.

38 He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.

ᎩᎶ ᎠᏉᎯᏳᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎤᏍᏉᎵᏱ ᏕᎦᎾᏄᎪᎨᏍᏗ ᎡᏉᏂ ᎬᏂᏛ ᎠᎹ ᏕᎨᏰᏍᏗ; ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏥᏂᎦᏪ ᎪᏪᎵ.

39 But he spoke this about the Spirit that those who believe in him were going to receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏒ, ᎤᏪᏛᏨᎩ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏬᎯᏳᎲᏍᎩ ᎨᏥᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᏝᏰᏃ ᎠᏏ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᏱᎦᎾᏄᎪᎨᎢ, ᏅᏓᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎩ ᏥᏌ ᎠᏏ ᎾᏥᎸᏉᏗᏍᎬᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ.

40 Many from the multitude therefore, when they heard the saying, said, This is truly the prophet.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏂᏣᏛ ᏴᏫ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᎤᎾᏛᎦᏅ, ᎯᎠ ᏄᏂᏪᏒᎩ; ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏯ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎠᏙᎴᎰᏍᎩ.

41 Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, For does the Christ come out of Galilee?

ᎢᎦᏛᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏂᏪᏒᎩ; ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ. ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᎦᏛ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏂᏪᏒᎩ; ᏥᎪ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎨᎵᎵ ᏅᏓᏳᎾᏄᎪᎢᏍᏗ?

42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?

ᏝᏍᎪ ᎪᏪᎵ ᎯᎠ ᏱᏂᎦᏪᎭ? ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏕᏫ ᎤᏁᏢᏔᏅᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎾᏄᎪᎢᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᏚᏱ ᎦᏚᎲᎢ ᏕᏫ ᎤᏕᏅᎢ?

43 So there became a division among the multitude because of him.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏔᎵ ᏄᎾᏓᏛᎩ ᏴᏫ, ᏅᏓᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏩᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ.

44 And some of them wanted to take him, but no man laid hands on him.

45 The subordinates therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And those men said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
