1After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
1 Gannaaw loolu Yeesu doon na wër diiwaanu Galile.
2Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
2 Bëggul woon a dem diiwaanu Yude, ndaxte Yawut ya dañu ko doon wut a rey. Fekk na bésu xewu Yawut ya, ñu koy wax màggalu Mbaar ya, mu ngi doon jubsi.
3His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
3 Noonu rakki Yeesu yu góor ya ne ko: «Jóge fi te dem diiwaanu Yude, ngir say taalibe gis, ñoom itam, jaloore yi ngay def.
4For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
4 Ku bëgg a siiw, doo nëbb say jëf. Boo demee bay wone jaloore yu mel ni, fexeel ba ñépp gis la.»
5For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
5 Rakkam yi dañu doon wax loolu, ndaxte ñoom itam gëmuñu ko woon.
6Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
6 Yeesu ne leen: «Sama waxtu jotagul. Ci yéen nag, waxtu yépp a baax.
7 The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
7 Àddina du leen bañ waaye bañ na ma, man, ndaxte maa wax ne, seeni jëf baaxul.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
8 Yéen nag demleen màggal ga. Demaguma màggal googu, ndaxte sama waxtu jotagul.»
9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
9 Bi mu leen waxee loolu ba noppi, moom mu des Galile.
10But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
10 Bi rakkam ya demee ca màggal ga, Yeesu itam sog a dem te kenn yégu ko; siiwalul demam.
11The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
11 Fekk Yawut yaa nga ko doon seet ca màggal ga te naan: «Ana waa ji?»
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.”
12 Ca biir mbooloo ma ñu ngi doon déeyante, di wax ci ay mbiram. Ñii naan: «Nit ku baax la.» Ñee naan: «Déedéet, day nax nit ñi.»
13Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
13 Waaye kenn ñemewu koo tudd ca kaw, ndaxte dañoo ragaloon Yawut ya.
14But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
14 Bi ñu demee ba ca diggu màggal ga, Yeesu dem di jàngale ca kër Yàlla ga.
15The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
15 Yawut ya nag jaaxle, daldi ne: «Nu waa jii def ba xam lii lépp, moom mi jàngul?»
16Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
16 Yeesu daldi leen tontu ne: «Li may jàngale, jógewul ci man, waaye ci ki ma yónni la jóge.
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.
17 Ku fas yéenee wéy ci bëgg-bëggu Yàlla, dina xam ndax sama njàngale ci Yàlla la jóge, walla ci sama coobare.
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.
18 Nit kiy wax ci coobareem nag, day wut a màggal boppam, waaye kiy wut a màggal ki ko yónni, dëgg rekk lay wax te jubadiwul fenn.
19 Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
19 Xanaa du Musaa moo leen jox ndigali Yàlla yi? Waaye kenn ci yéen sàmmu ko! Lu tax ngeen bëgg maa rey?»
20The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
20 Mbooloo ma ne ko: «Xanaa dangaa am ay rab! Ku lay wut a rey?»
21Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
21 Yeesu ne leen: «Benn jaloore rekk laa def, te yéen ñépp ngeen jaaxle!
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
22 Li leen Musaa jox ndigalu xarafal gune yi --jógewul kat ci Musaa; mi ngi tàmbalee ci seen maami cosaan — moo tax ba ngeen nangoo xarafal nit ci bésu noflaay bi.
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?
23 Bu ngeen manee xarafal nit ci bésu noflaay bi, ngir bañ a wàcc yoonu Musaa, lu tax nag ngeen mere ma, ndax li ma ci wéral nitu lëmm?
24 Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
24 Bàyyileen di àtte ci ni ngeen di gise, te di àtte dëgg.»
25Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
25 Am na ci waa Yerusalem ñu doon wax naan: «Xanaa du nit kii lañuy wut a rey?
26Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
26 Xool-leen, mi ngi waaraate ci biir nit ñi, te kenn du ko wax dara. Ndax sunu kilifa yi dañoo xam ne, mooy Almasi bi?
27However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
27 Waaye waa ji, xam nanu fu mu jóge, te saa su Almasi bi dee dikk, kenn du xam fu mu bàyyikoo.»
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.
28 Yeesu di jàngale ca kër Yàlla ga, daldi wax ca kaw ne: «Ndax xam ngeen ma te xam fi ma jóge? Ñëwaluma sama bopp, waaye ki ma yónni, ku wóor la. Yéen xamuleen ko.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
29 Man xam naa ko, ndaxte ca moom laa jóge, te itam moo ma yónni.»
30They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
30 Noonu ñu koy wut a jàpp, waaye kenn manalu ko woon dara, ndaxte waxtoom jotagul woon.
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?”
31 Moona nag, ñu bare ca mbooloo ma gëm nañu ko. Ñu nga naan: «Ndax bés bu Almasi bi dikkee, ay firndeem dina ëpp yu nit kii?»
32The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
32 Farisen ya daldi dégg la mbooloo ma doon déeyante ci mbirum Yeesu. Saraxalekat yu mag ya ak Farisen ya yebal ay alkaati yu daan wottu kër Yàlla ga, ngir ñu jàppi ko.
33Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
33 Yeesu wax ne: «Dinaa nekk ak yéen fi ak ab diir, sog a dem ci ki ma yónni.
34 You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come.”
34 Dingeen ma seet, waaye dungeen ma gis; te dungeen man a dem fa may nekk.»
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?
35 Yawut ya di laajante ci seen biir naan: «Fu muy dem fu nu ko dul fekk? Mbaa du dafa nar a dem ca Yawut, ya gàddaaye ca Gereg ya, te jàngali Gereg ya?
36What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come’? ”
36 Lan la baat yii mu wax di tekki: “Dingeen ma seet waaye dungeen ma gis,” ak: “Dungeen man a dem fa may nekk?”»
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!
37 Bés ba mujjoon ca màggal ga moo ca ëpp solo; keroog Yeesu taxaw, wax ca kaw ne: «Ku mar, na ñëw ci man; ku gëm, na naan! Ndaxte Mbind mi nee na, ndox mu bare muy dundale dina xellee ci dënnam.»
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
39 Booba li ko taxoon di wax mooy Xelu Yàlla, mi ñi ko gëm naroon a jot. Fekk na joxeeguñu woon Xelu Yàlla mi, ndaxte ndamu Yeesu feeñagul woon.
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.
40 Bi ñu déggee wax jooja, am ay nit ca mbooloo ma ñu naan: «Dëgg-dëgg kii mooy Yonent bi war a ñëw.»
40Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
41 Ñeneen naan: «Mooy Almasi bi.» Ña ca des it ne: «Waaye nan la Almasi bi man a jógee Galile?
41Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Mbind mi wax na ne, Almasi bi ci xeetu Daawuda lay wàcce te Betleyem, dëkku Daawuda, lay jóge.»
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?”
43 Noonu féewaloo daldi am ca biir mbooloo ma ndax Yeesu.
43So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.
44 Am na ca ñoom ñu ko bëggoon a jàpp, waaye kenn manalu ko woon dara.
44Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 Bi alkaati ya delloo, saraxalekat yu mag ya ak Farisen ya laaj leen ne: «Lu tax indiwuleen ko?»
45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
46 Alkaati ya ne leen: «Kenn musul a waxe ni nit kooku!»
46The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
47 Noonu Farisen ya laaj leen: «Mbaa naxuñu leen, yéen itam?
47The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
48 Ndax am na kenn ci saraxalekat yi walla ci Farisen yi ku ko gëm? Déedéet.
48Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
49 Waaye mbooloo mi xamuñu yoonu Musaa; ñu alku lañu!»
49But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is accursed.”
50 Nikodem bokkoon na ca Farisen ya fa nekkoon. Fekk moo seeti woon Yeesu lu jiitu. Mu ne leen:
50Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
51 «Ndax ci sunu yoon, man nañoo daan kenn te dégluwuñu ko, mbaa ñu xam lu mu def?»
51“Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
52 Ñu tontu ko ne: «Mbaa du yaw itam dangaa bokk ci diiwaanu Galile? Gëstul, kon dinga xam ne, benn yonent musul a jóge Galile.»
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. ”
53 Gannaaw loolu ku ci nekk dellu sa kër.
53Everyone went to his own house,
