¹After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

¹ከዚህም በኋላ ኢየሱስ አይሁድ ሊገድሉት ይፈልጉ ስለ ነበር በይሁዳ ሊመላለስ አይወድም ነበርና በገሊላ ይመላለስ ነበር።

²Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.

²የአይሁድም የዳስ በዓል ቀርቦ ነበር።

³His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

³እንግዲህ ወንድሞቹ። ደቀ መዛሙርትህ ደግሞ የምታደርገውን ሥራ እንዲያዩ ከዚህ ተነሣና ወደ ይሁዳ ሂድ፤

⁴For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

⁴ራሱ ሊገለጥ እየፈለገ በስውር የሚሠራ የለምና። እነዚህን ብታደርግ ራስህን ለዓለም ግለጥ አሉት።

⁵For neither did his brethren believe in him.

⁵ወንድሞቹ ስንኳ አላመኑበትም ነበርና።

⁶Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

⁶ኢየሱስም እንዲህ አላቸው። ጊዜዬ ገና አልደረሰም፥ ጊዜያችሁ ግን ዘወትር የተመቸ ነው።

⁷The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

⁷ዓለም እናንተን ሊጠላ አይቻለውም፤ እኔ ግን ሥራው ክፉ መሆኑን እመሰክርበታለሁና እኔን ይጠላኛል።

⁸Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.

⁸እናንተ ወደዚህ በዓል ውጡ፤ እኔስ ጊዜዬ ገና ስላልተፈጸመ ወደዚህ በዓል ገና አልወጣም።

⁹When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

⁹ይህንም አላቸውና በገሊላ ቀረ።

¹⁰But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

¹⁰ወንድሞቹ ግን ወደ በዓሉ ከወጡ በኋላ በዚያን ጊዜ እርሱ ደግሞ በግልጥ ሳይሆን ተሰውሮ ወጣ።

¹¹Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

¹¹አይሁድም። እርሱ ወዴት ነው? እያሉ በበዓሉ ይፈልጉት ነበር።

¹²And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.

¹²በሕዝብም መካከል ስለ እርሱ ብዙ ማንጐራጐር ነበረ፤ አንዳንዱም። ደግ ሰው ነው፤ ሌሎች ግን። አይደለም፥ ሕዝቡን ግን ያስታል ይሉ ነበር።

¹³Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

¹³ዳሩ ግን አይሁድን ስለ ፈሩ ማንም ስለ እርሱ በግልጥ አይናገርም ነበር።

¹⁴Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

¹⁴አሁንም በበዓሉ እኩሌታ ኢየሱስ ወደ መቅደስ ወጥቶ ያስተምር ነበር።

¹⁵And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

¹⁵አይሁድም። ይህ ሰው ሳይማር መጻሕፍትን እንዴት ያውቃል? ብለው ይደነቁ ነበር።

¹⁶Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

¹⁶ስለዚህ ኢየሱስ መለሰ እንዲህም አላቸው። ትምህርቴስ ከላከኝ ነው እንጂ ከእኔ አይደለም፤

¹⁷If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

¹⁷ፈቃዱን ሊያደርግ የሚወድ ቢኖር፥ እርሱ ይህ ትምህርት ከእግዚአብሔር ቢሆን ወይም እኔ ከራሴ የምናገር ብሆን ያውቃል።

¹⁸He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

¹⁸ከራሱ የሚናገር የራሱን ክብር ይፈልጋል፤ የላከውን ክብር የሚፈልግ ግን እርሱ እውነተኛ ነው በእርሱም ዓመፃ የለበትም።

¹⁹Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

¹⁹ሙሴ ሕግን አልሰጣችሁምን? ከእናንተ ግን ሕግን የሚያደርግ አንድ ስንኳ የለም። ልትገድሉኝ ስለ ምን ትፈልጋላችሁ?

²⁰The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?

²⁰ሕዝቡ መለሱና። ጋኔን አለብህ፤ ማን ሊገድልህ ይፈልጋል? አሉት።

²¹Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

²¹ኢየሱስ መለሰ አላቸውም። አንድ ሥራ አደረግሁ ሁላችሁም ታደንቃላችሁ።

²²Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

²²ስለዚህ ሙሴ መገረዝን ሰጣችሁ፤ ከአባቶችም ነው እንጂ ከሙሴ አይደለም፤ በሰንበትም ሰውን ትገርዛላችሁ።

²³If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

²³የሙሴ ሕግ እንዳይሻር ሰው በሰንበት መገረዝን የሚቀበል ከሆነስ ሰውን ሁለንተናውን በሰንበት ጤናማ ስላደረግሁ ትቈጡኛላችሁን?

²⁴Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

²⁴ቅን ፍርድ ፍረዱ እንጂ በመልክ አትፍረዱ።

²⁵Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

²⁵እንግዲህ ከኢየሩሳሌም ሰዎች አንዳንዶቹ እንዲህ አሉ። ሊገድሉት የሚፈልጉት ይህ አይደለምን?

²⁶But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

²⁶እነሆም፥ በግልጥ ይናገራል አንዳችም አይሉትም። አለቆቹ ይህ ሰው በእውነት ክርስቶስ እንደ ሆነ በእውነት አወቁን?

²⁷Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

²⁷ነገር ግን ይህን ከወዴት እንደ ሆነ አውቀናል፤ ክርስቶስ ሲመጣ ግን ከወዴት እንደ ሆነ ማንም አያውቅም።

²⁸Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

²⁸እንግዲህ ኢየሱስ በመቅደስ ሲያስተምር። እኔንም ታውቁኛላችሁ ከወዴትም እንደ ሆንሁ ታውቃላችሁ፤ እኔም በራሴ አልመጣሁም ነገር ግን እናንተ የማታውቁት የላከኝ እውነተኛ ነው፤

²⁹But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

²⁹እኔ ግን ከእርሱ ዘንድ ነኝ እርሱም ልኮኛልና አውቀዋለሁ ብሎ ጮኸ።

³⁰Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

³⁰ስለዚህ ሊይዙት ይፈልጉ ነበር፤ ነገር ግን ጊዜው ገና ስላልደረሰ ማንም እጁን አልጫነበትም።

³¹And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

³¹ከሕዝቡ ግን ብዙዎች አመኑበትና። ክርስቶስ በመጣ ጊዜ ይህ ካደረጋቸው ምልክቶች ይልቅ ያደርጋልን? አሉ።

³²The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

³²ፈሪሳውያንም ሕዝቡ ሰለ እርሱ እንደዚህ ሲያንጐራጕሩ ሰሙ፤ የካህናት አለቆችም ፈሪሳውያም ሊይዙት ሎሌዎችን ላኩ።

³³Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

³³ኢየሱስም። ገና ጥቂት ጊዜ ከእናንተ ጋር እቆያለሁ ወደ ላከኝም እሄዳለሁ።

³⁴Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.

³⁴ትፈልጉኛላችሁ አታገኙኝምም፤ እኔም ወዳለሁበት እናንተ ልትመጡ አትችሉም አለ።

³⁵Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

³⁵እንግዲህ አይሁድ። እኛ እንዳናገኘው ይህ ወዴት ይሄድ ዘንድ አለው? በግሪክ ሰዎች መካከል ተበትነው ወደሚኖሩት ሊሄድና የግሪክን ሰዎች ሊያስተምር አለውን?

³⁶What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

³⁶እርሱ። ትፈልጉኛላችሁ አታገኙኝምም እኔም ወዳለሁበት እናንተ ልትመጡ አትችሉም የሚለው ይህ ቃል ምንድር ነው? ብለው እርስ በርሳቸው ተነጋገሩ።

³⁷In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

³⁷ከበዓሉም በታላቁ በኋለኛው ቀን ኢየሱስ ቆሞ። ማንም የተጠማ ቢኖር ወደ እኔ ይምጣና ይጠጣ።

³⁸He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

³⁸በእኔ የሚያምን መጽሐፍ እንዳለ፥ የሕይወት ውኃ ወንዝ ከሆዱ ይፈልቃል ብሎ ጮኸ።

³⁹(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

³⁹ይህን ግን በእርሱ የሚያምኑ ሊቀበሉት ስላላቸው ስለ መንፈስ ተናገረ፤ ኢየሱስ ገና ስላልከበረ መንፈስ ገና አልወረደም ነበርና።

⁴⁰Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

⁴⁰ስለዚህ ከሕዝቡ አያሌ ሰዎች ይህን ቃል ሲሰሙ። ይህ በእውነት ነቢዩ ነው አሉ፤

⁴¹Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴¹ሌሎች። ይህ ክርስቶስ ነው አሉ፤ ሌሎች ግን። ክርስቶስ በእውኑ ከገሊላ ይመጣልን?

⁴²Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

⁴²ክርስቶስ ከዳዊት ዘር ዳዊትም ከነበረባት መንደር ከቤተ ልሔም እንዲመጣ መጽሐፍ አላለምን? አሉ።

⁴³So there was a division among the people because of him.

⁴³እንግዲህ ከእርሱ የተነሣ በሕዝቡ መካከል መለያየት ሆነ፤

⁴⁴And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

⁴⁴ከእነርሱም አንዳንዶቹ ሊይዙት ወደዱ ነገር ግን እጁን ማንም አልጫነበትም።

⁴⁵Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

⁴⁵ሎሌዎቹም ወደ ካህናት አለቆችና ወደ ፈሪሳውያን መጡ፤ እነዚያም። ያላመጣችሁት ስለ ምን ነው? አሉአቸው።

⁴⁶The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

⁴⁶ሎሌዎቹ። እንደዚህ ሰው ማንም እንዲሁ ከቶ አልተናገረም ብለው መለሱ።

⁴⁷Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

⁴⁷እንግዲህ ፈሪሳውያን። እናንተ ደግሞ ሳታችሁን?

⁴⁸Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

⁴⁸ከአለቆች ወይስ ከፈሪሳውያን በእርሱ ያመነ አለን?

⁴⁹But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

⁴⁹ነገር ግን ሕግን የማያውቀው ይህ ሕዝብ ርጉም ነው ብለው መለሱላቸው።

⁵⁰Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)

⁵⁰ከእነርሱ አንዱ በሌሊት ቀድሞ ወደ እርሱ መጥቶ የነበረ ኒቆዲሞስ።

⁵¹Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

⁵¹ሕጋችን አስቀድሞ ከእርሱ ሳይሰማ ምንስ እንዳደረገ ሳያውቅ በሰው ይፈርዳልን? አላቸው።

⁵²They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

⁵²እነርሱም መለሱና። አንተም ደግሞ ከገሊላ ነህን? ነቢይ ከገሊላ እንዳይነሣ መርምርና እይ አሉት።

⁵³And every man went unto his own house.

⁵³እያንዳንዱም ወደ ቤቱ ሄደ።
