John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Li yaapuoli Jesu den guani Galile, waa go den bua ki yaa ye jude nni, kelima Jufinba den lingi ki bua ki kpa o.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
Ki sua Jufinba jaanma ban yi yaama Asuga jaanma yeni den nagini.
3 His brothers therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou art doing.
Lanyaapo o waamu den yedi o: Han fii ki gedi Jude po, a huadikaaba moko n ban le han tuuni ya tuona.
4 For no one doeth anything in secret, and yet himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.
Yua n bua bi niba n yaabani o kan yaa wuondi wan tiendi yaala. A ya baa tiendi yeni han teni handuna kuli n bandi.
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Kelima o waamu ki den daani o. Jesu den yedi ba:
6 Jesus saith to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
N yogunu daa pundi ama yinba wani yaapo yogunu kuli yenma.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
Handuna yaaba kan fidi ki nani yi, ama mini wani bi nani nni kelima n wangi ke bi tuona bia.
8 Go ye up to the feast; I go not up to this feast; for my time is not yet fully come.
Yin gedi mani mi jaanma ama mini wani daa kan gedi kelima n yogunu daapundi.
9 Having said these things, he remained in Galilee.
Wan den yedi ba yeni o go den sedi Galile.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.
O waamu n den gedi, wani o ba moko den yuandi ki gedi hasiilu nni ke bi niba ki bani.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
Jufinba den lingi o, mi jaanma yogunu ki tua: O nan ye le yo?
12 And there was much debating among the multitude concerning him. Some said, He is a good man; others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the multitude.
Bi niba den soabidi soabidi boncianla, bine den tua: o tie nihamo, bine mo n yaa tua: O teni ke bi niba boncianla yaadi.
13 No one, however, spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
Ama bi niba kuli den jie Jufinba kaa bua ki maadi bi niba n gbadi.
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Mi jaanma yeni dana siiga Jesu den gedi U Tienu diegu nni ki bangi bi niba.
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
Li den paki Jufinba ke bi tua o tieni lede yo ki bandi laa bonla ki naakua li cogu?
16 Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
Jesu den guani ki yedi ba: N bangima ki ñani n yaa kani ka, mi ñani yua n soani nni yaa kane.
17 If any one is desirous to do his will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.
O nilo ya bua ki tieni U Tienu yanbuama o baa bandi n bangima ya ñani U Tienu kani bi n maadi n yuceli maame.
18 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and in him is no unrighteousness.
Yua n maadi o yuceli maama lingi oyuceli kpiagide, ama yua n lingi yua n soani o yaa kpiagidi o tie moamoandaano boandi ki ye oniinni ba waamu.
19 Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me?
Musa ki den teni yi li balimaama kaa? Ama yi siiga baa niyendo ki den kubi li balimaama nbili yaala. Be yaapo ke yi lingi ki bua ki kpa nni?
20 The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee?
Ku niligu den yedi o: A pia ki cicibiadiga! ŋmenba n lingi ki bua ki kpa ha?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering.
Jesu den guani ki yedi ba: N den soani tuonyenli ke li paki yi kuli.
22 Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.
Musa n den teni ku koanciagu balimaama, ama maa den cili o yaa kani ka, kelima mi den ñani yi yaajakpiaba kane lanyaapo yi yen kuani o nilo ku koanciagu baa U Tienu fuodima daali.
23 If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye angry at me, because I have restored soundness to the whole body of a man on the sabbath?
Li ya tie ke yi kuani o nilo ku koanciagu U Tienu fuodima daali ke yin da miidi Musa balimaama, be yaapo ke yi pala nan be leni nni kelima n yen paagi o nilo cain U Tienu fuodima daali?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Yin da ja ti buudi nani yin bua maama ka, ama yin yaa ja ti buudi ke li tiegi.
25 Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Jelusalema yaaba bi tianba den tua naani wani ka tie ban den lingi ki bua ki kpa yua yeni?
26 and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ?
Diidi: O maadi bi niba siiga ke baa tua o li ba, naani ti yudanba tuo ke o tie U Tienu n gandi yua bi?
27 Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
Ki sua one wani ti nan bani ñani naani, Ama U Tienu n gandi yua ya cua o bakuli kan bandi wan ñani naani.
28 Jesus therefore cried aloud, teaching in the temple and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but there is in truth one who sent me, whom ye know not.
Jesu n den bangi U Tienu diegu nni, o den kpaani ki yedi: Yi bani nni, yi go bani min ñani naani. Mii cua n yuceli po ka, yua n soani n tie o moamoani daano. Yii bani o.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
Ama mini wani n bani o, kelima n ñani o yaa kane, wani n soani nni.
30 Therefore they sought to take him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Bi den lingi ki bua ki cuo o, ama o bakuli ki den sii o, kelima o yogunu daa den den pundi.
31 But of the multitude many believed in him, and said, When the Christ cometh, will he do more signs than these which this man doeth?
Ku niligu siiga boncianla den tuo ki daani o. Ki tua: Naani U Tienu n gandi yua ya cua o baa fidi ki tieni yaa bancianma n cie one n tiendi yaama ne bii?
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.
Falisieninba n den gbadi ke ku niligu soabidi leni bi yaba, ki maadi Jesu po laa maama, lane bi kopadicianba yudanba leni Falisieninba den soani U Tienu diegu jiidikaaba ke ban ban cuo o.
33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
Jesu den yedi ba: N da ye leni yi yogunu waamu po, ama li yaa yanwaamu n baa guani ki gedi yua n den soani nni po.
34 Ye will seek me and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come.
Yi baa ti lingi nni yi kan le nni, yi kan fidi ki cua min ye naanpo mo.
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
Lanyaapo Jufinba den tua bi yaba: O baa gedi hali le yo, ke ti kan go le o? O nan baa gedi yaa Jufinba n yayadi ki ye bi nilanba siiga yeni ki ban bangi bi nilanba yeni moko bii?
36 What meaneth this which he said, Ye will seek me, and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
Wan maadi yaa maama ne bua ki yedi be yo? Yi baa ti lingi nni yi kan le nni. Yi kan fidi ki cua min baa ye naankani yeni mo.
37 On the last day, which is the great day, of the feast, Jesus stood and cried aloud, saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
Mi jaanma yeni badu dancianli daali yaali n tie li da juodikaali. Jesu den fii ki sedi ki kpaani ki yedi: ñuñuulu ya pia yua wan cua n kani ki ño,
38 He that believeth in me, from within him, as the Scripture hath said, will flow rivers of living water.
Yua n daani nni li miali kpenciamu baa puubi ki ña o niini nani idiani n yedi maama.
39 But this he said of the Spirit, which those that believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Wan den yedi yeni, o den maadi U Tienu fuoma yua yaa maame. Yaaba n daani wani Jesu n baa ba yua, U Tienu fuoma yua daa den jiidi bi po, kelima Jesu daa den kua o kpiagidi nni.
40 Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ.
Ku niligu siiga bi tianba den gbadi laa maama ki tua: One li tie sawalipualo moamoane.
41 Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee?
Bi tianba den tua: Wan tie U Tienu n gandi yua, bi ne mo den tua naani U Tienu n gandi yua baa ña Galile yo?
42 Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?
Naani idiani ki yedi ke UTienu n gandi yua baa tie Davidi puoli huanu, ki go ña Betelema dogu nni kaa? Lan tie Davidi dogu.
43 So there was a division among the multitude because of him.
Lanyaapo yo mi paadima den tieni ku niligu siiga kelima Jesu po.
44 And some of them wished to seize him; but no one laid hands on him.
Bi siiga bi tianba den bua ki cuo o, ama o bakuli ki den sii o.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
U Tienu diegu jiidikaaba n den guani bi kopadicianba yudanba leni Falisieninba yeni kani, bi den buali ba: Be n teni ke yii cuani o?
46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
Bi jiidikaaba den guani ki yedi ba: Nisaalo bakuli ki maadi nani laa joa n maadi maama.
47 The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived?
Falisieninba den guani ki buali ba: O boandi yi moko bii?
48 Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees?
Naani li pia bi yudanba leni Falisieninba siiga yaaba n daani o bii?
49 but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed.
Ama ku naa niligu yaaba n ki bani Musa balimaama tie ban soli yaaba.
50 Nicodemus saith to them, being one of them,
Nikodema bi siiga yua, yua n den kpa gedi Jesu kani ku ñiagu yeni den yedi ba:
51 Doth our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he doeth?
Naani ti balimaama puni usanu ban jia o nilo buudi kaa kpa cengi o, ki bandi wan tieni yaala?
52 They answered and said to him, Art thou too from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.
Bi den guani ki yedi o: Amoko tie Galile yua bii? han lingi idiani nni a kan le ke sawalipualo ñani Galile.
53 (Joh 7:53 - 8:12: This passage is omitted as ungenuine by Tischendorf and most critical editors of the Greek Testament. It is found in some manuscripts, but not in the most ancient. It is, however, very generally regarded as a genuine relic of the teaching of Christ, though not forming a part of the fourth Gospel. I give it in the text of Tregelles, omitting the words which he incloses in brackets. Tregelles, however, does not suppose it to be genuine.) [[And they went each to his house;
Yua kuli den guani ki kuni o den po.
