1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
[Walikwenda kila mtu nyumbani kwake; naye Yesu akaenda mpaka mlima wa Mizeituni.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
Hata asubuhi kulipokucha akaingia tena hekaluni, na watu wote wakamwendea; naye akaketi, akawa akiwafundisha.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
Waandishi na Mafarisayo wakamletea mwanamke aliyefumaniwa katika uzinzi, wakamweka katikati.
4 they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Wakamwambia, Mwalimu, mwanamke huyu amefumaniwa alipokuwa akizini.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
Basi katika torati, Musa alituamuru kuwapiga kwa mawe wanawake namna hii; nawe wasemaje?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not .
Nao wakasema neno hilo wakimjaribu, ili wapate sababu ya kumshitaki. Lakini Yesu akainama, akaandika kwa kidole chake katika nchi.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Nao walipozidi kumhoji, alijiinua, akawaambia, Yeye asiye na dhambi miongoni mwenu na awe wa kwanza wa kumtupia jiwe.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
Akainama tena, akaandika kwa kidole chake katika nchi.
9 And they which heard it , being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
Nao waliposikia, wakashitakiwa na dhamiri zao, wakatoka mmoja mmoja, wakianzia tangu wazee hata wa mwisho wao; akabaki Yesu peke yake, na yule mwanamke amesimama katikati.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
Yesu akajiinua asimwone mtu ila yule mwanamke, akamwambia, Mwanamke, wako wapi wale washitaki wako? Je! Hakuna aliyekuhukumu kuwa na hatia?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Akamwambia, Hakuna, Bwana. Yesu akamwambia, Wala mimi sikuhukumu. Enenda zako; wala usitende dhambi tena.]
The Light of the World
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Basi Yesu akawaambia tena akasema, Mimi ndimi nuru ya ulimwengu, yeye anifuataye hatakwenda gizani kamwe, bali atakuwa na nuru ya uzima.
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
Basi Mafarisayo wakamwambia, Wewe unajishuhudia mwenyewe; ushuhuda wako si kweli.
14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
Yesu akajibu, akawaambia, Mimi ningawa ninajishuhudia mwenyewe, ushuhuda wangu ndio kweli; kwa sababu najua nilikotoka na niendako; lakini ninyi hamjui nilikotoka wala niendako.
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
Ninyi mwahukumu kwa kufuata mambo ya mwili; mimi simhukumu mtu.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
Nami nijapohukumu, hukumu yangu ni kweli; kwa kuwa mimi si peke yangu, bali ni mimi na yeye aliyenipeleka.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
Tena katika torati yenu imeandikwa kwamba, Ushuhuda wa watu wawili ni kweli.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
Mimi ndimi ninayejishuhudia mwenyewe, naye Baba aliyenipeleka ananishuhudia.
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
Basi wakamwambia, Yuko wapi Baba yako? Yesu akajibu, Mimi hamnijui, wala Baba yangu hammjui; kama mngalinijua mimi, mngalimjua na Baba yangu.
20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
Maneno hayo aliyasema alipokuwa akifundisha hekaluni, katika chumba cha hazina; wala hakuna mtu aliyemkamata, kwa sababu saa yake ilikuwa haijaja bado.
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Basi akawaambia tena, Mimi naondoka, nanyi mtanitafuta; nanyi mtakufa katika dhambi yenu; mimi niendako ninyi hamwezi kuja.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
Basi Wayahudi wakasema, Je! Atajiua! Kwa kuwa asema, Mimi niendako ninyi hamwezi kuja?
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
Akawaambia, Ninyi ni wa chini, mimi ni wa juu; ninyi ni wa ulimwengu huu, mimi si wa ulimwengu huu.
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he , ye shall die in your sins.
Kwa hiyo naliwaambieni ya kwamba mtakufa katika dhambi zenu; kwa sababu msiposadiki ya kuwa mimi ndiye, mtakufa katika dhambi zenu.
25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
Basi wakamwambia, U nani wewe? Yesu akawaambia, Hasa neno lilo hilo ninalowaambia.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
Ninayo mengi ya kusema na kuhukumu juu yenu; lakini yeye aliyenipeleka ni kweli, nami niliyoyasikia kwake, ndiyo ninenayo katika ulimwengu.
27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
Wala hawakutambua ya kuwa anawatajia Baba.
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he , and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
Basi Yesu akawaambia, Mtakapokuwa mmekwisha kumwinua Mwana wa Adamu, ndipo mtakapofahamu ya kuwa mimi ndiye; na ya kuwa sifanyi neno kwa nafsi yangu, ila kama Baba alivyonifundisha ndivyo ninenavyo.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Naye aliyenipeleka yu pamoja nami, hakuniacha peke yangu; kwa sababu nafanya sikuzote yale yampendezayo.
30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
Naye alipokuwa akisema hayo, wengi walimwamini.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Basi Yesu akawaambia wale Wayahudi waliomwamini, Ninyi mkikaa katika neno langu, mmekuwa wanafunzi wangu kweli kweli;
32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
tena mtaifahamu kweli, nayo hiyo kweli itawaweka huru.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Wakamjibu, Sisi tu uzao wake Ibrahimu, wala hatujawa watumwa wa mtu wakati wo wote; nawe wasemaje, Mtawekwa huru?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Yesu akawajibu, Amin, amin, nawaambia, Kila atendaye dhambi ni mtumwa wa dhambi.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
Wala mtumwa hakai nyumbani sikuzote; mwana hukaa sikuzote.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Basi Mwana akiwaweka huru, mtakuwa huru kweli kweli.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Najua ya kuwa ninyi ni uzao wa Ibrahimu lakini mnatafuta kuniua kwa sababu neno langu halimo ndani yenu.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Niliyoyaona kwa Baba ndiyo niyanenayo; nanyi vivyo hivyo mliyoyasikia kwa baba yenu ndiyo myatendayo.
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Wakajibu, wakamwambia, Baba yetu ndiye Ibrahimu! Yesu akawaambia, Kama mngekuwa watoto wa Ibrahimu, mngezitenda kazi zake Ibrahimu.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Lakini sasa mnatafuta kuniua mimi, mtu ambaye nimewaambia iliyo kweli, niliyoisikia kwa Mungu. Ibrahimu hakufanya hivyo.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Ninyi mnazitenda kazi za baba yenu. Ndipo walipomwambia, Sisi hatukuzaliwa kwa zinaa; sisi tunaye Baba mmoja, yaani, Mungu.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Yesu akawaambia, Kama Mungu angekuwa baba yenu, mngenipenda mimi; kwa maana nalitoka kwa Mungu, nami nimekuja; wala sikuja kwa nafsi yangu, bali yeye ndiye aliyenituma.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Mbona hamyafahamu hayo niyasemayo? Ni kwa sababu ninyi hamwezi kulisikia neno langu.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Ninyi ni wa baba yenu, Ibilisi, na tamaa za baba yenu ndizo mpendazo kuzitenda. Yeye alikuwa mwuaji tangu mwanzo; wala hakusimama katika kweli, kwa kuwa hamna hiyo kweli ndani yake. Asemapo uongo, husema yaliyo yake mwenyewe; kwa sababu yeye ni mwongo, na baba wa huo.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Nami, kwa sababu nasema iliyo kweli, hamnisadiki.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Ni nani miongoni mwenu anishuhudiaye ya kuwa nina dhambi? Nami nikisema kweli, mbona ninyi hamnisadiki?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Yeye aliye wa Mungu huyasikia maneno ya Mungu; hivyo ninyi hamsikii kwa sababu ninyi si wa Mungu.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Wayahudi wakajibu, wakamwambia, Je! Sisi hatusemi vema ya kwamba wewe u Msamaria, nawe una pepo?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
Yesu akajibu, Mimi sina pepo; lakini mimi namheshimu Baba yangu, na ninyi mwanivunjia heshima yangu.
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Wala mimi siutafuti utukufu wangu; yuko mwenye kutafuta na kuhukumu.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
Amin, amin, nawaambia, Mtu akilishika neno langu, hataona mauti milele.
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
Basi Wayahudi wakamwambia, Sasa tumeng'amua ya kuwa una pepo. Ibrahimu amekufa, na manabii wamekufa; nawe wasema, Mtu akilishika neno langu, hataonja mauti milele.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
Wewe u mkuu kuliko baba yetu Ibrahimu, ambaye amekufa? Nao manabii wamekufa. Wajifanya u nani?
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
Yesu akajibu, Nikijitukuza mwenyewe, utukufu wangu si kitu; anitukuzaye ni Baba yangu, ambaye ninyi mwanena kuwa ni Mungu wenu.
55 yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
Wala ninyi hamkumjua; lakini mimi namjua. Nikisema ya kwamba simjui, nitakuwa mwongo kama ninyi; lakini namjua, na neno lake nalishika.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it , and was glad.
Ibrahimu, baba yenu, alishangilia kwa vile atakavyoiona siku yangu; naye akaiona, akafurahi.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Basi Wayahudi wakamwambia, Wewe hujapata bado miaka hamsini, nawe umemwona Ibrahimu?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Yesu akawaambia, Amin, amin, nawaambia, Yeye Ibrahimu asijakuwako, mimi niko.
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Basi wakaokota mawe ili wamtupie; lakini Yesu akajificha, akatoka hekaluni.
