Yohani 8
1 Yesu kagenditi kulugongu lwa Mzeituni.
but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Shirawu yakuwi mandawira putiputi kagenditi kayi Kunumba nkulu ya Mlungu. Wantu woseri wamgendera, nayomberi kalivaga kanja kankufunda.
Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
3 Wafunda gwa malagaliru na Mafalisayu wamjegera mdala yumu yawambatiti ugoni pakahumba. Wamgolusiya pakati pawu.
Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 Wamkosia, “mfunda! Mdala ayu yawambatiti ugoni kaweriti kankuhumba.
they said to him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
5 Malagaliru ga Musa katulagalira mdala handa ayu wamgumi mabuhi. Su, gwenga gutakula hashi?”
Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
6 Watakuliti hangu kwa kumjera Yesu, wapati shanzu sha kumsitaki. Yesu kasuntama, kalemba mlitapaka kwa shyala.
Now they said this to test him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 Pawawongiriti kumkosiya, Yesu kagolokiti, kawagambira “Muntu yakeniweri na vidoda pakati penu kiwi gwa kwanja kumguma libuwi.”
But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
8 Shakapanu kasuntamala kayi, kaweriti kankulemba mlitapaka.
Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9 Pawapikaniriti avi, wanja kuwuka yumuyumu, pawalongolera wazewi. Yesu kasigala gweka yakuwi na mdala ulii kagoloka palaa palii.
But when they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last, and he was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
10 Yesu kaligolosiya kamkosiyiti mdala ayu, “Wakoshi wantu walii? Hashi kwahera hata yumu yakakutoziti?”
Then Jesus, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
11 “Kwahera hata yumu!” Mtuwa, kamwankula. Yesu kamgambira, “Iherepa, wala neni nukutozi ndiri. Gugendi zyaku na kwanjira vinu hapeni gutendi vidoda kayi.”
And she said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more."
12 Yesu pakayowiriti kayi na Mafalisayu, kawagambira, “Neni ndo Uweru wa pasi panu, yakanizira neni hapeni kagendigendi muntiti nakamu, su hakaweri na Uweru wa ukomu.”
Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
13 Su, Mafalisayu wamgambira, “Gwenga gulilanguziya gamweni, hangu upitawu waku ufaa ndiri.”
The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
14 Yesu kawankula, “Hangu ndiri, ata handa nulilanguziya namweni, upitawu wa neni ndo wa nakaka toziya neni nuvimana kwandawiti na kwang'enda. Kumbiti mwenga muvimana ndiri kwandawiti wala kwang'enda.
Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I am going.
15 Mwenga muntoza kwa maholu ga wantu, kumbiti neni ntoza ndiri muntu.
You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16 Ata pantoza, kutoza kwaneni ndo kwa nakaka toziya neni nagweka yangu ndiri Tati yakantumiti neni ndo kapamuhera na neni.
Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 Ilembitwi Mumalagaliru genu kwa upitawu wa wantu wawili, shintu shoseri shatutakuliti ndo nakaka.
It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 Neni nankulilanguziya namweni na Tati yakantumiti, kankunanguziya neni viraa.”
I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
19 Wamkosiya, “Tati gwaku ka koshi?” Yesu kawankula, “Mwenga mumana ndiri neni wala mummana ndiri Tati. Handa memumaniti neni, memumaniti Tati gwangu viraa.”
They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
20 Yesu katakuliti visoweru vyoseri avi kaweriti kankufunda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu pakwegera na lisanduku lya luhanja palitulitwi, Kwahera muntu yakambatiti, toziya saa yakuwi iweriti hayenisoki.
Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 Yesu kawagambira kayi, “Hang'endi zyangu, mwenga hamnsakuli, kumbiti hamhowi muvidoda vyenu. Kwang'enda neni, mwenga hapeni mwezi kusoka.”
Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come."
22 Su, Watuwa Washiyawudi watakula, “Hashi, ina mana hakalilagi mweni? Mbona katakula, Kwang'enda neni mwenga hapeni msoki?”
The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come?'"
23 Yesu kawagambira, “Mwenga mlawa palaa pasipanu, neni ndawa kumpindi, mwenga ndo mwa wa pasipanu, neni hapeni weri gwa pasipanu.
He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24 Ayi ndo mana nuwagambireni hamhowi muvidoda vyenu. Na hamhowi muvidoda vyenu handa pamjimira ndiri ‘Neni ndo mweni’.”
I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
25 Nawomberi wamkosiya, “Gwenga gwa gaa?” Yesu kawankula, “Neni ndo handa vilii nuwagambireni kwanjira mwanzu!
They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
26 Nana gavuwa ga kutakula kwa mwenga na vya kuwatoza. Kumbiti uliya yakantumiti ndo nakaka, naneni nuwagambira wantu wa pasipanu shitwatira shampikiniriti kulawa kwakuwi.”
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
27 Wavimana ndiri handa Yesu kaweriti pakatakula nawomberi kumhusu Tati.
They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
28 Su, Yesu kawagambira, “pammalira kala kumubikula Mwana gwa Muntu, panu ndo pamfira kumana handa ‘Neni Ndo mweni’, na handa ndenda ndiri shoseri namweni neni, ira ntakula hera galii Tati gakafunditi.
Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things.
29 Yakantumiti kapamuhera naneni, yomberi kandeka ndiri gweka yangu, kwani mashaka goseri ntenditi galii yagamfiriziya.”
He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
30 Wantu wavuwa wampikiniriti Yesu vyakatakuliti wamjimiriti.
As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31 Yesu kawagambira Wayawudi walii yawamjimiriti, “Handa pamgajimila mafundu gangu hamuweri wafundwa wangu nakaka,
Jesus therefore said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32 hamuumani unakaka na unakaka hawuwapanani ulekeziwu.”
You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
33 Nawomberi wamwankula, “Twenga ndo walelwa wa Aburahamu, na hatwenipati ng'o kuwera wamanda wa muntu yoseri. Gwana mana gaa kutakula, ‘Hamuweri walekiziwa?’”
They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"
34 Yesu kawankula, “Nakaka nuwagambireni, kila muntu yakatenda vidoda ndo mmanda gwa vidoda.
Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
35 Mmanda hapeni kalikali ukaya kwa mtuwa gwakuwi pamashaka goseri, kumbiti mwana kalikala ukaya mashaka goseri. (aiōn g165)
A slave does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Mwana pakawapanana ulekeziwu, hamuweri walekiziwa nakaka.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 Nuvimana handa mwenga ndo walelwa wa Aburahamu. Ata hangu, mfira kundaga kwa toziya hamjimili ndiri mafundu gangu.
I know that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 Neni ntakula galii yakananguziyiti Tati, kumbiti mwenga mtenda galii yakawagambireni Tati gwenu.”
I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have heard from your father."
39 Womberi wamwankula, “Twenga ndo twawana gwa Aburahamu!” Yesu kawagambira, “Handa mwenga mwawana wa Aburahamu, memulitendi lihengu lyakatenditi Aburahamu,
They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
40 vyoseri avi vyantenditi nuwagambireni unakaka mpikaniriti kulawa kwa Mlungu, ata hangu, mwenga mfira kundaga. Aburahamu katenda hangu ndiri!
But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
41 Mwenga mtenda shitwatira shiraa shilii shakatenditi Tati gwenu.” Womberi wamgambira, “Mlungu mweni ndo Tati gwetu, twenga twawana ndiri wa kunja.”
You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
42 Yesu kawagambira, handa Mlungu kangaweriti Tati gwenu, munganfiriti neni, toziya neni ndawiti kwa Mlungu na vinu napanu. Niza ndiri kwa uwezu wangu namweni, ira yomberi kantumiti.
Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I have not come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Hashi mwerewa ndiri gantakula aga? Ayi ndo toziya mweza ndiri kuwupikanira ujumbi waneni.
Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
44 Mwenga ndo mwawana wa tati gwenu, Shetani na mufira hera kutenda lumatamata lwa Tati gwenu. Yomberi kaweriti mlaga kwanjira mwanzu, kahera msimamu gwa nakaka, tembera nakaka kwahera mngati mwakuwi. Kila mpayu, zitakulwa kulawirirana na ntambu yakuwi ya munshimba, yomberi ndo mpayu na tati gwa mpayu.
You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.
45 Kumbiti neni nukugambirani nakaka, toziya ayi hashi munjimira ndiri neni.
But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Gani pakati penu yakaweza kulanguziya weri neni nana vidoda? Handa panuwagambira nakaka, kwa shishi munjimira ndiri?
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Yakalawa kwa Mlungu kapikaniraga visoweru vya Mlungu. Mwenga, mlawa ndiri kwa Mlungu, na ayi ndo toziya ya mwenga kupikinira ndiri.
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God."
48 Wayawudi wamkosiya Yesu, “Hashi, hapeni tutakuli nakaka handa gwenga ndo Msamariya na kayi gwana shamshera?”
Then the Judeans answered him, "Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"
49 Yesu kankula, “Neni nahera shamshera, neni numgohilili Tati gwangu, kumbiti mwenga mgohalira ndiri.
Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 Neni nsakula ndiri ligoya lyangu namweni, kumbiti kwana yumu mweni kankusakula ligoya ali, nayomberi ndo mtoza.
But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
Truly, truly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death." (aiōn g165)
52 Su, Wayawudi wamgambira, “Vinu tuvimana nakaka handa gwenga gwana washamshera! Aburahamu kahowiti na wambuyi wa Mlungu viraa wahowiti, nagwenga gutakula eti, ‘Yakajimira ujumbi waku hakalikali mashaka goseri!’ (aiōn g165)
Then the Judeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' (aiōn g165)
53 Tati gwetu Aburahamu kahowa, hashi gulitenda gwamkulu kuliku tati gwetu Aburahamu, ndo gwenga? Ata wambuyi wa Mlungu wahowiti. Hashi gwenga gulitenda gwa gaa?”
Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
54 Yesu kawankula, “Panilikwisa namweni, uweru wangu shintu ndiri. Yumu yakankwisa ndo Tati gwangu, kila muntu katakula Mlungu gwetu.
Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say 'He is our God.'
55 Mwenga hapeni mpati kummana, kumbiti neni nummana. Na, pantankula nummana ndiri, hanuwi mpayu gambira mwenga. Kumbiti neni nummana na njimira shisoweru shakuwi.
You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.
56 Tati gwetu Aburahamu, kanemeleriti pakaliwoni lishaka lyangu na yomberi kaliwoniti, kanemelera.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
57 Su, Wayawudi wamgambira, “Gwenga gwankali kusoka vinja lilongu muhanu, nagwenga gumwona Aburahamu?”
The Judeans therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
58 Yesu kawagambira, “Nakaka nuwagambirani, pamberi Aburahamu kangali kwiwuka, ndo Neni.”
Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
59 Panu wasola mabuwi wamgumangi yomberi, kumbiti Yesu kalififa, kalawa Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was concealed, and went out of the temple.
