¹ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܕܙܝܬܐ ܀

¹lakini Yesu akaenda kwenye mlima wa Mizeituni.

²ܒܨܦܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܐܬܐ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܟܕ ܝܬܒ ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

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

³ܐܝܬܝܘ ܕܝܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܐܬܬܚܕܬ ܒܓܘܪܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܩܝܡܘܗ ܒܡܨܥܬܐ ܀

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

⁴ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܬܬܚܕܬ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܒܤܘܥܪܢܐ ܕܓܘܪܐ ܀

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

⁵ܘܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܦܩܕ ܕܠܕܐܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܪܓܘܡ ܐܢܬ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܀

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

⁶ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܟܕ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܩܛܪܓܘܢܝܗܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܠܬܚܬ ܐܬܓܗܢ ܡܟܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܀

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

⁷ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܟܬܪܘ ܟܕ ܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܬܦܫܛ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܠܐ ܚܛܗ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܫܕܐ ܥܠܝܗ ܟܐܦܐ ܀

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

⁸ܘܬܘܒ ܟܕ ܐܬܓܗܢ ܟܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܀

⁸Kisha akainama tena, akawa anaandika ardhini.

⁹ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܢܦܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܟܕ ܫܪܝܘ ܡܢ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܐܫܬܒܩܬ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܠܚܘܕܝܗ ܟܕ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܒܡܨܥܬܐ ܀

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

¹⁰ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܦܫܛ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܚܝܒܟܝ ܀

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

¹¹ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܦܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܚܝܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܝ ܙܠܝ ܘܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܬܚܛܝܢ ܀

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

¹²ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܕܒܬܪܝ ܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܗܠܟ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܫܟܚ ܠܗ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܀

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

¹³ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܢܬ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܟ ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܬ ܤܗܕܘܬܟ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܀

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

¹⁴ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܦܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܝ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܘܠܐܝܟܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܀

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

¹⁵ܐܢܬܘܢ ܦܓܪܢܐܝܬ ܕܝܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܀

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

¹⁶ܘܐܢ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܝܢܝ ܫܪܝܪ ܗܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܠܚܘܕܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܒܝ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܀

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

¹⁷ܘܒܢܡܘܤܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܬܪܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܀

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

¹⁸ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܝ ܘܐܒܝ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ ܀

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

¹⁹ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܘ ܐܒܘܟ ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܠܝ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܠܐܒܝ ܐܠܘ ܠܝ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܠܐܒܝ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܀

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

²⁰ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܡܠܠ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܚܕܗ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܬ ܗܘܬ ܫܥܬܗ ܀

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

²¹ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܬܒܥܘܢܢܝ ܘܬܡܘܬܘܢ ܒܚܛܗܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܀

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

²²ܐܡܪܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܡܐ ܟܝ ܢܦܫܗ ܩܛܠ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܀

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

²³ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܠܬܚܬ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܕܠܥܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܢ ܗܢܐ ܥܠܡܐ ܀

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

²⁴ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܬܡܘܬܘܢ ܒܚܛܗܝܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܬܡܘܬܘܢ ܒܚܛܗܝܟܘܢ ܀

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

²⁵ܐܡܪܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܦܢ ܕܫܪܝܬ ܕܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܀

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

²⁶ܤܓܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܘܠܡܕܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܫܪܝܪ ܗܘ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܬ ܡܢܗ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܀

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

²⁷ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܕܥܠ ܐܒܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

²⁷Hawakuelewa kwamba Yesu alikuwa akisema nao juu ya Baba.

²⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܬܪܝܡܘܢܗ ܠܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܠܦܢܝ ܐܒܝ ܗܟܘܬ ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܀

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.

²⁹ܘܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܥܡܝ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܢܝ ܒܠܚܘܕܝ ܐܒܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܫܦܪ ܠܗ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܀

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

³⁰ܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܀

³⁰Baada ya kusema hayo watu wengi walimwamini.

³¹ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܐܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܟܬܪܘܢ ܒܡܠܬܝ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

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

³²ܘܬܕܥܘܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܘܗܘ ܫܪܪܐ ܢܚܪܪܟܘܢ ܀

³²Mtaujua ukweli, nao ukweli utawapeni uhuru."

³³ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܙܪܥܗ ܚܢܢ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܡܢ ܡܬܘܡ ܥܒܕܘܬܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܦܠܝܚܐ ܠܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܚܐܪܐ ܀

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

³⁴ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠܡܢ ܕܥܒܕ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܥܒܕܗ ܗܘ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܀

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

³⁵ܘܥܒܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܩܘܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܒܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܥܠܡ ܡܩܘܐ ܀

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

³⁶ܐܢ ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܒܪܐ ܢܚܪܪܟܘܢ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܚܐܪܐ ܀

³⁶Kama mwana akiwapeni uhuru mtakuwa huru kweli.

³⁷ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܙܪܥܗ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܠܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܩܛܠܢܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܡܠܬܝ ܠܐ ܤܦܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

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

³⁸ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܝ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

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

³⁹ܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܒܘܢ ܕܝܠܢ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܠܘ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܀

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

⁴⁰ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܩܛܠܢܝ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܫܪܝܪܬܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܫܡܥܬ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܀

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

⁴¹ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܚܕ ܐܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܀

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

⁴²ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܠܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܡܚܒܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܦܩܬ ܘܐܬܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܐܬܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܗܘ ܫܕܪܢܝ ܀

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.

⁴³ܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܡܠܬܝ ܠܐ ܡܫܬܘܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܡܠܬܝ ܀

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

⁴⁴ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܒܐ ܐܟܠܩܪܨܐ ܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܘܪܓܬܗ ܕܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܒܪܫܝܬ ܩܛܠ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܘܒܫܪܪܐ ܠܐ ܩܐܡ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܟܕܒܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܝܠܗ ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܓܠܐ ܗܘ ܐܦ ܐܒܘܗ ܀

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.

⁴⁵ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܀

⁴⁵Mimi nasema ukweli, na ndiyo maana ninyi hamniamini.

⁴⁶ܡܢܘ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܡܟܤ ܠܝ ܥܠ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܘܐܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܀

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

⁴⁷ܡܢ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܫܡܥ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܀

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

⁴⁸ܥܢܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܚܢܢ ܕܫܡܪܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܕܝܘܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܀

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

⁴⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܝ ܕܝܘܐ ܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܒܝ ܡܝܩܪ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܨܥܪܝܢ ܠܝ ܀

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

⁵⁰ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܫܘܒܚܝ ܐܝܬ ܗܘ ܕܒܥܐ ܘܕܐܢ ܀

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

⁵¹ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܡܠܬܝ ܢܛܪ ܡܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܚܙܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܀

⁵¹Kweli nawaambieni, anayeuzingatia ujumbe wangu hatakufa milele."

⁵²ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܢ ܕܕܝܘܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܡܝܬ ܘܢܒܝܐ ܘܐܢܬ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܕܡܢ ܕܡܠܬܝ ܢܛܪ ܡܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܛܥܡ ܠܥܠܡ ܀

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

⁵³ܠܡܐ ܐܢܬ ܪܒ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܐܒܘܢ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܕܡܝܬ ܘܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܡܝܬܘ ܡܢܘ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܢܦܫܟ ܀

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

⁵⁴ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܒܚ ܐܢܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܫܘܒܚܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܒܝ ܕܡܫܒܚ ܠܝ ܗܘ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܗܘ ܀

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

⁵⁵ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܘܐܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܝ ܟܕܒܐ ܐܟܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܘܡܠܬܗ ܢܛܪ ܐܢܐ ܀

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

⁵⁶ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܡܤܘܚ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܝܘܡܝ ܘܚܙܐ ܘܚܕܝ ܀

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

⁵⁷ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܒܪ ܚܡܫܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܚܙܝܬ ܀

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

⁵⁸ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܥܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܀

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

⁵⁹ܘܫܩܠܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܕܢܪܓܡܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܛܫܝ ܘܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܥܒܪ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܙܠ ܀

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