¹lakini Yesu akaenda kwenye mlima wa Mizeituni.

¹but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

²Kesho yake asubuhi na mapema alikwenda tena Hekaluni. Watu wote wakamwendea, naye akaketi akawa anawafundisha.

²And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

³Basi, walimu wa Sheria na Mafarisayo wakamletea mwanamke mmoja aliyefumaniwa katika uzinzi. Wakamsimamisha katikati yao.

³And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,

⁴Kisha wakamwuliza Yesu, "Mwalimu! Mwanamke huyu alifumaniwa katika uzinzi.

⁴they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.

⁵Katika Sheria yetu Mose alituamuru mwanamke kama huyu apigwe mawe. Basi, wewe wasemaje?"

⁵Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?

⁶Walisema hivyo kumjaribu, wapate kisa cha kumshtaki. Lakini Yesu akainama chini, akaandika ardhini kwa kidole.

⁶And this they said, trying him, that they might have [whereof] to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

⁷Walipozidi kumwuliza, Yesu akainuka, akawaambia, "Mtu asiye na dhambi miongoni mwenu na awe wa kwanza kumpiga jiwe."

⁷But 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.

⁸Kisha akainama tena, akawa anaandika ardhini.

⁸And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

⁹Waliposikia hivyo, wakaanza kutoweka mmojammoja, wakitanguliwa na wazee. Yesu akabaki peke yake, na yule mwanamke amesimama palepale.

⁹And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.

¹⁰Yesu alipoinuka akamwuliza huyo mwanamke, "Wako wapi wale watu? Je, hakuna hata mmoja aliyekuhukumu?"

¹⁰And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?

¹¹Huyo mwanamke akamjibu, "Mheshimiwa, hakuna hata mmoja!" Naye Yesu akamwambia, "Wala mimi sikuhukumu. Nenda zako; na tangu sasa usitende dhambi tena."

¹¹And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.

¹²Yesu alipozungumza nao tena, aliwaambia, "Mimi ndimi mwanga wa ulimwengu. Anayenifuata mimi hatembei kamwe gizani, bali atakuwa na mwanga wa uzima."

¹²Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.

¹³Basi, Mafarisayo wakamwambia, "Wewe unajishuhudia mwenyewe; kwa hiyo ushahidi wako si halali."

¹³The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.

¹⁴Yesu akawajibu, "Hata kama ninajishuhudia mwenyewe, ushahidi wangu ni wa kweli kwa sababu mimi najua nilikotoka na ninakokwenda. Lakini ninyi hamjui nilikotoka wala ninakokwenda.

¹⁴Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵Ninyi mnahukumu kwa fikira za kibinadamu, lakini mimi simhukumu mtu.

¹⁵Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

¹⁶Hata nikihukumu, hukumu yangu ni ya haki kwa sababu mimi siko peke yangu; Baba aliyenituma yuko pamoja nami.

¹⁶Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁷Imeandikwa katika Sheria yenu ya kwamba ushahidi wa watu wawili ni halali.

¹⁷Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.

¹⁸Mimi najishuhudia mwenyewe, naye Baba aliyenituma, ananishuhudia pia."

¹⁸I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

¹⁹Hapo wakamwuliza, "Baba yako yuko wapi?" Yesu akawajibu "Ninyi hamnijui mimi wala hamumjui Baba. Kama mngenijua mimi, mngemjua na Baba yangu pia."

¹⁹They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.

²⁰Yesu alisema maneno hayo kwenye chumba cha hazina alipokuwa anafundisha Hekaluni. Wala hakuna mtu aliyemtia nguvuni, kwa sababu saa yake ilikuwa haijafika bado.

²⁰These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.

²¹Yesu akawaambia tena, "Naenda zangu nanyi mtanitafuta, lakini mtakufa katika dhambi zenu. Niendako mimi, ninyi hamwezi kufika."

²¹He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come.

²²Basi, viongozi wa Wayahudi wakasema, "Je, atajiua? Mbona anasema: Niendako ninyi hamwezi kufika?"

²²The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?

²³Yesu akawaambia, "Ninyi mmetoka papa hapa chini, mimi nimetoka juu; ninyi ni wa ulimwengu huu, mimi si wa ulimwengu huu.

²³And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

²⁴Ndiyo maana niliwaambieni mtakufa katika dhambi zenu. Kama msipoamini kwamba Mimi ndimi, mtakufa katika dhambi zenu."

²⁴I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.

²⁵Nao wakamwuliza, "Wewe ni nani?" Yesu akawajibu, "Nimewaambieni tangu mwanzo!

²⁵They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.

²⁶Ninayo mengi ya kusema na kuhukumu juu yenu. Lakini yule aliyenituma ni kweli; nami nauambia ulimwengu mambo yale tu niliyoyasikia kutoka kwake."

²⁶I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.

²⁷Hawakuelewa kwamba Yesu alikuwa akisema nao juu ya Baba.

²⁷They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.

²⁸Basi, Yesu akawaambia, "Mtakapokwisha mwinua Mwana wa Mtu hapo ndipo mtakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi, na kwamba sifanyi chochote mimi mwenyewe, ila nasema tu yale Baba aliyonifundisha.

²⁸Jesus therefore said, 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 the Father taught me, I speak these things.

²⁹Yule aliyenituma yuko pamoja nami; yeye hakuniacha peke yangu kwani nafanya daima yale yanayompendeza."

²⁹And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.

³⁰Baada ya kusema hayo watu wengi walimwamini.

³⁰As he spake these things, many believed on him.

³¹Basi, Yesu akawaambia wale Wayahudi waliomwamini, "Kama mkiyazingatia mafundisho yangu mtakuwa kweli wanafunzi wangu.

³¹Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples;

³²Mtaujua ukweli, nao ukweli utawapeni uhuru."

³²and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³Nao wakamjibu, "Sisi ni wazawa wa Abrahamu, na hatujapata kamwe kuwa watumwa wa mtu yeyote yule. Una maana gani unaposema: mtakuwa huru?"

³³They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

³⁴Yesu akawajibu, "Kweli nawaambieni, kila mtu anayetenda dhambi ni mtumwa wa dhambi.

³⁴Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵Mtumwa hana makao ya kudumu nyumbani, lakini mwana anayo makao ya kudumu.

³⁵And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.

³⁶Kama mwana akiwapeni uhuru mtakuwa huru kweli.

³⁶If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

³⁷Najua kwamba ninyi ni wazawa wa Abrahamu. Hata hivyo, mnataka kuniua kwa sababu hamuyakubali mafundisho yangu.

³⁷I know that ye are Abraham's seed: yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.

³⁸Mimi nasema yale aliyonionyesha Baba, lakini ninyi mwafanya yale aliyowaambieni baba yenu."

³⁸I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father.

³⁹Wao wakamjibu, "Baba yetu ni Abrahamu!" Yesu akawaambia, "Kama ninyi mngekuwa watoto wa Abrahamu, mngefanya kama alivyofanya Abrahamu,

³⁹They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰Mimi nimewaambieni ukweli niliousikia kwa Mungu; hata hivyo, ninyi mwataka kuniua. Abrahamu hakufanya hivyo!

⁴⁰But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.

⁴¹Ninyi mnafanya mambo yaleyale aliyofanya babu yenu." Wao wakamwambia, "Sisi si watoto haramu! Tunaye baba mmoja tu, yaani Mungu."

⁴¹Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.

⁴²Yesu akawaambia, "Kama Mungu angekuwa Baba yenu, mngenipenda mimi, maana mimi nilitoka kwa Mungu na sasa niko hapa. Sikuja kwa mamlaka yangu mwenyewe, ila yeye alinituma.

⁴²Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

⁴³Kwa nini hamwelewi hayo ninayosema? Ni kwa kuwa hamwezi kuusikiliza ujumbe wangu.

⁴³Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁴Ninyi ni watoto wa baba yenu Ibilisi na mnataka tu kutekeleza tamaa za baba yenu. Yeye alikuwa muuaji tangu mwanzo; hana msimamo katika ukweli, kwani ukweli haumo ndani yake. Kila asemapo uongo, husema kutokana na hali yake ya maumbile, maana yeye ni mwongo na baba wa uongo.

⁴⁴Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth 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 thereof.

⁴⁵Mimi nasema ukweli, na ndiyo maana ninyi hamniamini.

⁴⁵But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁶Nani kati yenu awezaye kuthibitisha kuwa mimi nina dhambi? Ikiwa basi nasema ukweli, kwa nini hamniamini?

⁴⁶Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷Aliye wa Mungu husikiliza maneno ya Mungu. Lakini ninyi hamsikilizi kwa sababu ninyi si (watu wa) Mungu."

⁴⁷He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁸Wayahudi wakamwambia, "Je, hatukusema kweli kwamba wewe ni Msamaria, na tena una pepo?"

⁴⁸The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

⁴⁹Yesu akajibu, "Mimi sina pepo; mimi namheshimu Baba yangu, lakini ninyi hamniheshimu.

⁴⁹Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.

⁵⁰Mimi sijitafutii utukufu wangu mwenyewe; yuko mmoja mwenye kuutafuta utukufu huo, naye ni hakimu.

⁵⁰But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

⁵¹Kweli nawaambieni, anayeuzingatia ujumbe wangu hatakufa milele."

⁵¹Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.

⁵²Basi, Wayahudi wakasema, "Sasa tunajua kweli kwamba wewe ni mwendawazimu! Abrahamu alikufa, na manabii pia walikufa, nawe wasema ati, Anayeuzingatia ujumbe wangu hatakufa milele!

⁵²The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

⁵³Je, unajifanya mkuu zaidi kuliko baba yetu Abrahamu ambaye alikufa? Hata na manabii walikufa. Wewe unajifanya kuwa nani?"

⁵³Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?

⁵⁴Yesu akawajibu, "Nikijitukuza mwenyewe, utukufu wangu si kitu. Baba yangu ambaye ninyi mwasema ni Baba yenu, ndiye anayenitukuza.

⁵⁴Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;

⁵⁵Ninyi hamjapata kumjua, lakini mimi namjua. Na, nikisema simjui, nitakuwa mwongo kama ninyi. Mimi namjua na ninashika neno lake.

⁵⁵and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.

⁵⁶Abrahamu, baba yenu, alishangilia aione siku yangu; naye aliiona, akafurahi."

⁵⁶Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.

⁵⁷Basi, Wayahudi wakamwambia, "Wewe hujatimiza miaka hamsini bado, nawe umemwona Abrahamu?"

⁵⁷The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

⁵⁸Yesu akawaambia, "Kweli nawaambieni, kabla Abrahamu hajazaliwa, mimi niko."

⁵⁸Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am.

⁵⁹Hapo wakaokota mawe ili wamtupie, lakini Yesu akajificha, akatoka Hekaluni.

⁵⁹They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
