John 7
1 Tukun ma inge, Jesus el fufahsryesr in Galilee. El tuh tia lungse forfor in acn Judea, mweyen mwet fulat lun mwet Jew we kena unilya.
After these things Jesus continued to travel about in Galilee, for he did not wish to go about in Judea, because the Jews kept trying to kill him.
2 Apkuran me pacl in Kufwen Iwen Aktuktuk,
When the time of the Jewish feast of Tabernacles drew near,
3 ke ma inge mwet lel Jesus elos fahk nu sel, “Fahla liki acn inge ac som nu Judea, tuh mwet ma tuh fahsr tukum fah liye ma kom oru an.
his brothers said to him. "Leave here and go into Judea, so that your disciples also may behold the works which you are doing.
4 Mwet se fin lungse in eteyuk el, el ac tia oru orekma lal in lukma. Ke kom oru ma inge, lela faclu nufon in etu keim!”
"For no one ever does anything in secret if he himself seeks to be known publicly. If you are performing these signs, show yourself openly to the world."
5 (Finne tamulel lal elos tiana lulalfongi kacl.)
For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
6 Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pacl luk uh soenna tuku. A funu kowos, oana sie pacl nukewa.
"My time is not yet come," said Jesus, "but your time is always at hand.
7 Faclu koflana srungakowos, a faclu srungayu mweyen nga kalweni in fahk lah ouiya lun faclu koluk.
"The world cannot hate you, but me it does hate, because I am bearing testimony against it, that its ways are wicked.
8 Kowos som na nu ke kufwa an. Nga ac tia wi som ingena nu ke kufwa se inge, mweyen pacl fal luk soenna tuku.”
Do you go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fully come."
9 El fahk ouinge ac mutana in acn Galilee.
After saying this, he remained in Galilee; but after his brothers had gone up to feast,
10 Tukun mwet lel som tari nu ke kufwa ah, Jesus el som pac; tusruktu el tia som lemtulauk, a el som in lukma.
then he went too - not openly, but as it were a secret.
11 Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew elos sokol ke kufwa ah. Elos siyuk, “El a ya?”
The Jews meanwhile kept looking for him at feast, and saying, "Where is he?" "I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.
12 Oasr na mungulngul lun un mwet uh kacl. Kutu mwet uh fahk, “El mwet na wowo se,” a kutu fahk, “Mo, el aklalfonye mwet uh.”
and there was much disputing about him among the crowd. Some would say, "He is a good man." Others. "No! he is misleading the people." "While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 Tusruktu wangin sie mwet kaskas lemtulauk kacl, mweyen elos sangeng sin mwet fulat lun mwet Jew.
No one, however, was speaking openly about him, for fear of the Jews. "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.
14 Ke sun infulwen wik in kufwa sac, Jesus el som ac mutawauk in luti in Tempul.
But when it was already the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. "I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew elos arulana lut ac fahk, “Fuka tuh mwet se inge arulana yohk etu lal, a el tia mwet lutlut se?”
The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One.
16 Jesus el fahk, “Ma nga luti uh tia mwe luti luk sifacna, a ma lun God, su supweyume.
In reply Jesus said to them; "My teaching is not mine, but is his who sent me. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Kutena mwet su kena oru ma lungse lun God, el fah etu lah mwe luti luk ma sin God me ku ma sik sifacna.
"If any one wills to do God’s will he shall know concerning my teaching, whether it is from God, or I speak my own authority. "Dedicate them in thy truth; thy word is truth.
18 Sie mwet su kaskas ke ku lal sifacna el srike in akfulatyal sifacna. A el su lungse akfulatye El su supwalma, el inge pa kaskas pwaye ac wangin sutuu in el.
"The man who speaks on his own authority is always seeking his own glory. But one who is eager for the glory of Him who sent him, he is true, and therefore is nothing false about him.
19 Ya tia Moses pa asot nu suwos Ma Sap? Tusruktu tia sie suwos akos Ma Sap. Efu kowos ku srike in uniyuwi?”
"Did not Moses give you the Law? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you seeking to kill me?"
20 Un mwet uh topkol ac fahk, “Su srike in unikowi an? Oasr demon se yurum!”
The crowd answered. "You have a demon! Who is trying kill you?"
21 Jesus el fahk, “Nga orala sie mwenmen, ac kowos nukewa lut.
Jesus answered them. "There was one thing I did, and you are all amazed.
22 Moses el sap kowos in kosrala wen nutuwos (sruhk tia Moses, a papa matu tomowos pa mutawauk lumah se inge), ac ouinge kowos kosrala tulik mukul se ke len Sabbath.
"Consider, therefore, Moses has given you circumcision - not that Moses originated it, but the fathers - and you are accustomed to circumcise a child even on the Sabbath.
23 Sie tulik mukul fin kosrla ke len Sabbath tuh in akfalye Ma Sap lal Moses, efu kowos ku kasrkusrak sik ke nga oru sie mwet in arulana kwela ke len Sabbath?
"If a child receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the Law of Moses may not be broken, how can you be angry with me because I made a man sound and well on the Sabbath?
24 Nimet nununku ke ma motowos liye, a nununku fal nu ke ma su suwohs.”
"Do not judge according to appearance. Judge justly."
25 Kutu sin mwet Jerusalem elos fahk, “Ya tia mwet se inge pa mwet fulat elos srike in uniya uh?
Then some of the men of Jerusalem were saying. "Is not this the man they are seeking to kill?
26 Liye! El kaskas lemtulauk ye mutalos, ac wanginna ma elos fahk lainul! Ya pwaye elos etu lah el pa Christ?
"And look! he is speaking boldly and they are saying nothing to him. Can it possibly be that the rulers have really discovered that he is the Christ?
27 Tusruktu pacl se Christ el ac tuku, wangin sie mwet ac etu lah el tuku oya me — a kut nukewa etu acn mwet se inge tuku we me uh.”
"But we know this man and where he is from; but when the Christ comes no one will know where he comes from."
28 Ke Jesus el luti in Tempul, el fahk ke sie pusra lulap, “Ya pwaye kowos eteyu ac etu yen nga tuku we me? Nga tia tuku ke ku luk sifacna. El su supweyume El pwayena. Kowos tia etal,
So Jesus cried aloud as he was teaching in the Temple, and said. "You both know me and you know where I am from; and I am not come on my own authority, but he who sent me is trustworthy, and him you do not know.
29 a nga etal, mweyen nga tuku yorol me ac El supweyume.”
"But I now him, because I am from him and he sent me."
30 Na elos srike in sruokilya, tusruktu wangin sie mwet filiya pao facl, mweyen pacl lal soenna tuku.
Then they kept seeking to arrest him, but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 A mwet puspis inmasrlon un mwet uh lulalfongel, ac elos fahk, “Ke pacl se Christ el tuku, ya el ac orek mwenmen pus liki na ma mwet se inge oru uh?”
But many of the crowd believed on him and began to say, "The Christ, when he comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"
32 Kutu mwet Pharisee elos lohng ke mwet uh mungulngul kacl Jesus, pwanang elos ac mwet tol fulat supwala kutu mwet soan lalos in Tempul in som sruokilya.
The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the high priest and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
33 Jesus el fahk, “Nga ac fah muta yuruwos ke kitin pacl na, na nga fah som nu yurin El su supweyume.
Then Jesus said to them. "Still for a little longer I am with you, and then I am going my way to him who sent me.
34 Kowos ac fah sukyu, a kowos fah tia koneyuyak, mweyen kowos koflana som nu yen nga ac muta we.”
"You will search for me and will not find me, and where I am you cannot come."
35 Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Pia acn el ac som nu we tuh kut in tia ku in konalak uh? Ya el ac som nu in facl saya, yen mwet lasr uh fahsrelik ac muta we, ac luti mwet Greek?
Then the Jews said to one another. "Where does this fellow intend to go, so that we shall not find him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and to teach the Greeks, is he?
36 El fahk mu kut ac sokol tuh kut ac tia ku in konalak, ac kut ac tia ku in som nu yen el oasr we. Mea kalmen ma el fahk uh?”
"What does he mean saying, ‘You shall seek me and you shall not find me,’ and ‘Where I am you cannot come’?"
37 Ke len se safla lun kufwa sac, len se ma yohk sripa oemeet, Jesus el tuyak ac fahk ke pusra lulap, “Kutena mwet su malu, lela elan tuku nu yuruk ac nim.
Now the last day, that the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried in a loud voice.
38 Oana Ma Simusla fahk, ‘Kutena mwet su lulafongi keik, unon in kof in moul fah sororme liki insial.’”
"If any man thirst let him come to me and drink. From the heart of him who believes in me will flow, as the Scripture said, rivers of living water."
39 Jesus el fahk ma se inge ke Ngun su God El ac fah sang nu selos su lulalfongi. Ke pacl sac, Ngun soenna itukyang nu sin kutena mwet, mweyen Jesus el soenna utukyak nu in wolana lal.
Now he said this concerning the Spirit whom those who believed in him should receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40 Kutu sin mwet inmasrlon un mwet uh lohng ke el fahk ma se inge, ac elos fahk, “Pwayena lah mwet se inge el Mwet Palu sac!”
Some of the crowd who had been listening to these discourses began to say, "Without a doubt this man is a Prophet."
41 Ac kutu fahk, “El pa Christ!” A kutu pac fahk, “Christ el ac tia tuku Galilee me!
Other said, "He is the Christ." But others were saying. "Surely the Christ is not to come out of Galilee, is he?
42 Ma Simusla fahk mu Christ el ac sie sin fita natul Tokosra David, ac el ac fah isusla in Bethlehem, siti srisrik yen David el tuh muta we.”
"Does not the Scripture say that the Christ is coming of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, David’s town?"
43 Ouinge srisrielik inmasrlon un mwet uh ke sripen Jesus.
So a division arose in the crowd concerning him. Some of them wished to apprehend him, but no one laid hands on him.
44 Kutu selos kena sruokilya, tusruktu wangin sie mwet filiya pao facl.
Then the officers returned to the chief priest and Pharisees,
45 Ke mwet soan elos folokla, mwet tol fulat ac mwet Pharisee siyuk selos, “Efu kowos ku tia usalu?”
and they asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"
46 Mwet soan elos topuk, “Soenna oasr mwet sramsram oana mwet sac!”
The officers answered, "Never yet did a man speak like this man."
47 Mwet Pharisee siyuk selos, “Ya kowos wi pac kiapweyukla?
"Surely you have not been led astray, have you? answered the Pharisees.
48 Ya kowos na lohng mu oasr sie mwet fulat ku sie mwet Pharisee lulafongel?
"Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?
49 Un mwet inge tia etu ke Ma Sap lal Moses, ke ma inge elos oasr ye selnga lun God!”
"As for this mob who do not understand the Law, they are accursed!"
50 Sie sin mwet Pharisee su muta we pa Nicodemus, mwet se ma tuh som nu yorol Jesus meet. El fahk nu sin mwet ah,
Nicodemus, one of their number, he who had formerly visited Jesus, said to them,
51 “Fal nu ke Ma Sap lasr uh, kut tia ku in nununku sie mwet meet liki kut lohng pusracl sifacna, ac konauk lah mea el oru.”
"Our law does not condemn the accused, does it, before hearing his defense, and finding out what he is doing?"
52 Na elos fahk, “Mea, kom sie pac mwet Galilee? Riti Ma Simusla ac kom ac etu lah wangin mwet palu ku in sikyak Galilee me.” [
In answer they said to him. "You are not from Galilee, are you? Search for yourself, and see that from Galilee arises no prophet."
53 Na elos nukewa folokelik nu in acn selos.
Then they departed each to his own house.
