Yochanan 7
1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jewish leaders sought to kill him.
Sima na yango, Yesu atambolaki na mokili ya Galile, aboyaki kovanda na Yuda, pamba te Bayuda bazalaki koluka koboma Ye.
2 Now the Jewish festival, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.
Nzokande, feti ya Bandako ya kapo, feti ya Bayuda, ekomaki pene.
3 So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works that you are doing.
Bandeko ya Yesu balobaki na Ye: — Longwa awa na Galile mpe kende na Yuda, mpo ete bayekoli na Yo bamona kuna bikamwa oyo ozali kosala.
4 For no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world."
Moto moko te asalaka na nkuku soki alingi koyebana. Lokola ozali kosala makambo minene koleka, sala ete moto nyonso kati na mokili ayeba soki ozali nani.
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Pamba te, ezala bandeko ya Yesu, bango mpe bazalaki kondima Ye te.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Tango na Ngai ekoki nanu te; kasi mpo na bino, tango nyonso ezali malamu.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
Mokili ekoki koyina bino te; kasi Ngai, ezali koyina Ngai mpo ete natatolaka ete misala na yango ezali mabe.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."
Bino, bokende na feti wana; kasi Ngai, nakokende te, pamba te tango na Ngai ekoki nanu te.
9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
Sima na Ye koloba na bango bongo, atikalaki na Galile.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
Nzokande, tango bandeko na Ye bakendeki na feti, Ye mpe akendeki kuna, na komilakisa te, kasi na nkuku.
11 The Jewish leaders therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"
Wana bazalaki kati na feti, Bayuda bazalaki koluka Ye mpe bazalaki kotuna-tuna: « Azali wapi? »
12 There was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." But others said, "Not so, but he leads the crowd astray."
Kati na bato, tembe ekomaki makasi na tina na Ye. Bamoko bazalaki koloba: Azali moto malamu; bamosusu: « Te, azali kokosa bato nyonso. »
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jewish leaders.
Kasi, lokola bango nyonso bazalaki kobanga Bayuda, moto ata moko te akokaki koloba na bonsomi nyonso na tina na Yesu.
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Tango mikolo ya feti ekomaki na kati-kati, Yesu akendeki na Tempelo mpe akomaki koteya.
15 Then the Jewish leaders were astonished, saying, "How does this man know such writings, having never been educated?"
Bayuda bakamwaki mpe bazalaki kotunana: — Ndenge nini moto oyo ayekola te akoki koyeba Makomi boye?
16 Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
Yesu azongiselaki bango: — Makambo oyo nazali koteya ewuti epai na Ngai te, kasi ewuti epai na Ye oyo atindi Ngai.
17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
Moto nyonso oyo azwi mokano ya kosala makambo oyo Nzambe alingaka, akososola soki mateya na Ngai ewuti na Nzambe to nazali koloba na ndenge na Ngai moko.
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Moto oyo alobaka na kombo na ye moko alukaka lokumu na ye moko; kaka oyo azali koluka lokumu ya Nzambe oyo atindaki Ye nde azali koloba solo, mpe mabe ezali te kati na Ye.
19 Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you keeps the Law? Why do you seek to kill me?"
Boni, Moyize apesaki bino mibeko te? Nzokande moko te kati na bino atosaka yango! Bongo mpo na nini bozali koluka koboma Ngai?
20 The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?"
Bato kati na ngulupa bazongiselaki Yesu: — Ozali na molimo mabe. Nani azali koluka koboma yo?
21 Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you are all amazed.
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Mpo na likamwisi moko oyo nasalaki, yango wana bino nyonso bokamwe!
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
Bokanisa nanu: Moyize apesaki bino mitindo ya kokatisa ngenga, —mobeko yango ewutaki kutu na Moyize te, kasi na bakoko— mpe botosaka mitindo yango ata na mokolo ya Saba.
23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
Bongo soki bokataka bato ngenga na mokolo ya Saba, mpe yango ebukaka mobeko ya Moyize te, mpo na nini bozali kosilikela Ngai mpo ete nabikisi moto na mokolo ya Saba?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
Bosambisaka lisusu te kolanda oyo miso na bino ezali komona, kasi bokataka makambo na bosembo.
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Na bongo, ndambo ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi bakomaki komituna: « Azali te moto oyo bazali koluka koboma?
26 Look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Messiah?
Tala, azali koloba na bonsomi nyonso, mpe bazali koloba na ye eloko moko te mpo na kotelemela ye! Boni, bokanisi ete bakonzi na biso bayebi ete azali penza Klisto?
27 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from."
Kasi biso, toyebi epai moto oyo awuti; nzokande tango Klisto akoya, moto moko te akoyeba soki azali moto ya engumba nini! »
28 Jesus therefore called out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
Kaka na tango yango, wana Yesu azalaki koteya kati na Tempelo, alobaki na mongongo makasi: — Solo, boyebi Ngai mpe boyebi epai nawuti! Nzokande, nayei na ndenge na Ngai moko te; ezali Ye oyo azali penza ya solo nde atindi Ngai, mpe bino, boyebi Ye te.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."
Ngai, nayebi Ye, pamba te nawuti epai na Ye, mpe ezali Ye nde atindi Ngai.
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Na bongo, balukaki kokanga Yesu, kasi moto ata moko te alongaki; pamba te tango na Ye ekokaki nanu te.
31 But many in the crowd believed in him. They said, "When the Messiah comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"
Boye kati na bato, mingi bandimaki Ye; bazalaki koloba: — Boni, tango Klisto akoya, akosala bikamwa mingi koleka oyo moto oyo ozali kosala?
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Bafarizeo bayokaki makambo oyo bato bazalaki koloba na se se na tina na Yesu. Bongo bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo batindaki bakengeli ya Tempelo mpo na kokanga Yesu.
33 Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
Yesu alobaki: — Nazali nanu elongo na bino mpo na mwa tango moke, bongo nakozonga epai ya Ye oyo atindaki Ngai.
34 You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come."
Bokoluka Ngai, kasi bokomona Ngai te; mpe epai Ngai nakozala, bino, bokoki te koya kuna.
35 The Jewish leaders therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
Bayuda balobanaki bango na bango: — Asengeli kokende wapi mpo ete tomona ye lisusu te? Akokende epai ya Bayuda oyo bapalangana kati na Bagreki mpe koteya Bagreki?
36 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come'?"
Alingi penza koloba nini tango azali koloba: « Bokoluka Ngai, kasi bokomona Ngai te; mpe epai Ngai nakozala, bino, bokoki te koya kuna? »
37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
Na mokolo ya suka ya feti, mokolo oyo eleki monene, Yesu atelemaki mpe alobaki na mongongo makasi: — Tika ete moto nyonso oyo azali na posa ya mayi aya epai na Ngai mpe amela.
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."
Moto oyo akondima Ngai, kolanda ndenge Makomi elobi, bibale ya mayi ya bomoi ekotiola wuta kati na ye.
39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Yesu alobaki bongo na tina na Molimo oyo bato oyo bakotia kondima na bango kati na Ye bakozwa; mpo ete na tango wana, Molimo apesamaki nanu te, pamba te Yesu akotaki nanu te kati na nkembo na Ye.
40 Some of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the Prophet."
Kati na bato oyo bayokaki maloba na Ye, bamoko bazalaki koloba: « Moto oyo azali penza Mosakoli, »
41 Others said, "This is the Messiah." But some said, "What, does the Messiah come out of Galilee?
bamosusu: « Azali Klisto, » kasi bamosusu lisusu: « Boni, Klisto akoki kobimela na Galile?
42 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Messiah comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
Boni, Makomi ezali koloba te ete Klisto akobimela na libota ya Davidi mpe akobotama na Beteleemi, mboka ya Davidi? »
43 So there arose a division in the crowd because of him.
Ezali bongo nde bato bakabwanaki na tina na Yesu.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Bamosusu kati na bango balukaki kokanga Ye, kasi moto ata moko te alongaki.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"
Bakengeli ya Tempelo bazongaki epai ya bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo. Bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo batunaki bakengeli: — Mpo na nini bomemi Yesu awa te?
46 The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man."
Bakengeli bazongisaki: — Ezali na moto ata moko te oyo asila koloba makambo oyo moto wana azali koloba.
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You are not also led astray, are you?
Bafarizeo batunaki lisusu: — Bino mpe bomitiki penza mpo ete akosa bino?
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Boni, kati na bakonzi to kati na Bafarizeo, ezali ata na moko oyo andimi ye?
49 But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed."
Ezali kaka bato oyo bayebi mibeko ya Moyize te, bazali penza bato balakelama mabe!
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him before, being one of them) said to them,
Kasi moko kati na bango, Nikodemi, oyo, mokolo moko, akendeki epai ya Yesu, alobaki:
51 "Does our Law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"
— Boni, mibeko na biso ekoki kokatela moto etumbu na kozanga koyoka ye liboso, mpe na kozanga koyeba mabe oyo asili kosala?
52 They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."
Bazongiselaki ye: — Boni, yo mpe ozali moto ya Galile? Kundola malamu Makomi, mpe okomona penza ete mosakoli moko te abimela na Galile. [
53 Then everyone went to his own house,
Na bongo, moko na moko azongaki na ndako na ye.
