¹Shure kwezvinhu izvi Jesu wakafamba-famba muGarirea; nekuti wakange asingadi kufamba-famba muJudhiya, nekuti vaJudha vakange vachitsvaka kumuuraya.

¹After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

²Zvino mutambo wevaJudha, mutambo wematende wakange waswedera.

²Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

³Naizvozvo vanin'ina vake vakati kwaari: Ibvai pano muende muJudhiya, kuti vadzidzi venyuwo vaone mabasa enyu amunoita.

³His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

⁴Nekuti hakuna unoita chinhu muchivande asi iye amene achitsvaka kuva pachena. Kana uchiita zvinhu izvi, zviratidze kunyika.

⁴For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”

⁵Nekuti kunyange vanin'ina vake vaiva vasingatendi kwaari.

⁵For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

⁶Naizvozvo Jesu akati kwavari: Nguva yangu haisati yasvika, asi nguva yenyu inogara yakagadzirwa.

⁶Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

⁷Nyika haigoni kukuvengai; asi ini inondivenga, nekuti ini ndinopupura nezvayo, kuti mabasa ayo akaipa.

⁷ The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

⁸Kwirai imwi kumutambo uyu; ini handisati ndokwira kumutambo uyu, nekuti nguva yangu haisati yazadzisika.

⁸ You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”

⁹Wakati areva zvinhu izvi kwavari, akagara muGarirea.

⁹Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

¹⁰Asi vanin'ina vake vakati vakwira, naiye akabva okwira kumutambo, kwete pachena, asi panenge sepachivande.

¹⁰But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

¹¹Zvino vaJudha vakamutsvaka pamutambo, vakati: Uripi iye?

¹¹The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”

¹²Kwakavapo kun'u'nuna kukuru pakati pezvaunga pamusoro pake; vamwe vachiti: Wakanaka. Asi vamwe vachiti: Kwete, asi unotsausa chaunga.

¹²There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”

¹³Kunyange zvakadaro kwakange kusina munhu wakataura pachena pamusoro pake nekutya vaJudha.

¹³Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴Zvino pava pakati pemutambo, Jesu akakwira kutembere, akadzidzisa.

¹⁴But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

¹⁵Zvino vaJudha vakashamisika vachiti: Uyu unoziva sei magwaro asina kudzidza?

¹⁵The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

¹⁶Jesu akavapindura akati: Dzidziso yangu haizi yangu, asi yake wakandituma.

¹⁶Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

¹⁷Kana munhu achida kuita chido chake, uchaziva zvedzidziso kana ichibva kuna Mwari, kana kuti ini ndinotaura zvemusoro wangu.

¹⁷ If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

¹⁸Unozvitaurira pachake, unotsvaka rumbidzo yake; asi unotsvaka kurumbidzwa kwewakamutuma, ndiye wechokwadi, uye hapana kusarurama maari.

¹⁸ He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

¹⁹Mozisi haana kukupai murairo here? Asi hakuna wenyu unoita murairo. Munotsvakirei kundiuraya?

¹⁹ Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”

²⁰Chaunga chikapindura chikati: Une dhimoni; ndiani unotsvaka kukuuraya?

²⁰The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”

²¹Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Ndakaita basa rimwe, uye munoshamisika mose.

²¹Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.

²²Naizvozvo Mozisi wakakupai dzingiso (kusiri kuti yakabva kuna Mozisi, asi kumadzibaba), zvino nesabata munodzingisa munhu.

²² Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

²³Kana munhu nesabata achigamuchira dzingiso, kuti murairo waMozisi urege kutyorwa, munonditsamwira nekuti ndaporesa munhu zvakaperera nesabata here?

²³ If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

²⁴Musatonga nezvinoonekwa, asi tongai kutonga kwakarurama.

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

²⁵Vamwe veveJerusarema ndokuti: Uyu haazi iye wavanotsvaka kuuraya here?

²⁵Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶Asi tarira, unotaura pachena, asi havarevi chinhu kwaari. Kuti vatungamiriri vanoziva zvechokwadi here kuti ndiye Kristu chaiye?

²⁶Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷Asi uyu tinoziva kwaanobva; asi Kristu kana achisvika, hakuna ungaziva kwaanobva.

²⁷However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁸Naizvozvo Jesu wakadanidzira mutembere achidzidzisa achiti: Nemwi munoziva ini, uye munoziva kwandakabva; uye handina kuzviuira, asi wakandituma ndewechokwadi, wamusingazivi imwi.

²⁸Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

²⁹Asi ini ndinomuziva, nekuti ndinobva kwaari, uye iye wakandituma.

²⁹ I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”

³⁰Naizvozvo vakatsvaka kumubata, asi hakuna wakaisa ruoko paari, nekuti awa rake rakange risati rasvika.

³⁰They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹Asi vazhinji vechaunga vakatenda kwaari, vakati: Kana Kristu achisvika, ungaita zviratidzo zvizhinji kune izvi uyu zvaaita here?

³¹But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

³²VaFarisi vakanzwa chaunga chichin'un'una zvinhu izvi pamusoro pake; vaFarisi nevapristi vakuru ndokutuma vabatsiri kuti vamubate.

³²The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

³³Naizvozvo Jesu akati kwavari: Ndichinemwi chinguvana, ndoenda kune wakandituma.

³³Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

³⁴Muchanditsvaka mukasandiwana; uye apo pandiri ini, imwi hamugoni kuuya.

³⁴ You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come.”

³⁵Naizvozvo vaJudha vakataurirana vachiti: Uyu uchaendepi kuti isu tisamuwana? Uchaenda kune vakapararira vevaGiriki, adzidzise vaGiriki here?

³⁵The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

³⁶Ishokoi iri raanoti: Muchanditsvaka, asi hamungandiwani; nerokuti: Pandiri ini, imwi hamugoni kuuya?

³⁶What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come’? ”

³⁷Zvino nezuva rekupedzisira, iro guru remutambo Jesu wakasimuka akadanidzira achiti: Kana ani nani ane nyota, ngaauye kwandiri amwe.

³⁷Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

³⁸Unotenda kwandiri, rugwaro sezvarwakareva, nzizi dzemvura mhenyu dzichaerera kubva mudumbu make.

³⁸ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”

³⁹Asi izvi wakareva zveMweya wavaizogamuchira vanotenda kwaari; nekuti Mweya Mutsvene wakange asati avapo, nekuti Jesu wakange asati akudzwa.

³⁹But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

⁴⁰Naizvozvo vazhinji vechaunga vakati vachinzwa shoko iri vakati: Zvirokwazvo uyu ndiye muporofita.

⁴⁰Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

⁴¹Vamwe vakati: Uyu ndiye Kristu. Asi vamwe vakati: Ko Kristu ungabva Garirea here?

⁴¹Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴²Rugwaro haruna kureva here kuti Kristu uchabva kumbeu yaDhavhidhi, nepamusha weBhetirehemu paiva naDhavhidhi?

⁴²Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, 2 Samuel 7:12 and from Bethlehem, Micah 5:2 the village where David was?”

⁴³Naizvozvo pakava nekupesana pakati pechaunga pamusoro pake.

⁴³So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴Zvino vamwe vavo vakada kumubata, asi hakuna wakaisa maoko kwaari.

⁴⁴Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵Zvino vabatsiri vakaenda kuvapristi vakuru nekuvaFarisi; ivo vakati kwavari: Nemhaka yei musina kumuuisa?

⁴⁵The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

⁴⁶Vabatsiri vakapindura vakati: Hakuna kumbotaura munhu seizvi, semunhu uyu.

⁴⁶The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁷Zvino vaFarisi vakavapindura vakati: Nemwi matsauswa kanhi?

⁴⁷The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

⁴⁸Uripo here wakatenda kwaari kuvatungamiriri kana kuvaFarisi?

⁴⁸Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹Asi chaunga ichi chisingazivi murairo chakatukwa.

⁴⁹But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is accursed.”

⁵⁰Nikodhimo, uya akauya kwaari usiku, ari umwe wavo, akati kwavari:

⁵⁰Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁵¹Murairo wedu unotonga munhu here, kunze kwekuti wambomunzwa nekuziva chaanoita?

⁵¹“Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”

⁵²Vakapindura vakati kwaari: Ko iwewo uri weGarirea here? Nzvera uone kuti hakuna kumuka muporofita kuGarirea.

⁵²They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee. See Isaiah 9:1 and Matthew 4:13-16. ”

⁵³Umwe neumwe ndokuenda kumba kwake.

⁵³Everyone went to his own house,
