1 Ebyo ni byaŋwa, nga Yesu agenderanga mu twale lyʼe Galilaaya, nʼatambuha huja mu lyʼe Buyudaaya olwohuba Abayudaaya baali basala amagesi ohumwita. 2 Aye Embaga yʼAbayudaaya eyi balanga baati Embaga eyomu busisira ni yaali ni yiri huupi ohwola,* 7:2 Leev 23:34; Mag 16:13-15 3 ngʼabaganda ba Yesu bamuloma baati, “Koni soonatiine mu twale lyʼe Buyudaaya, abeegi babo bahebonera ebyamaliholiho ebi ohola? 4 Koni soomanyire oti hiisi owenda abaatu bamumanye, sigehwehahweha nʼebi ahola? Ngʼolu ohola ebyamaliholiho, leha ehyalo hyosihyosi hihwebonere.” 5 Abaganda babe baaloma baatyo olwohuba baali sibafugiirira baati Hatonda njʼowamutuma.

6 Olwʼehyo, nga Yesu abaloma ati, “Ehiseera hyange ohyʼohutiina hu Mbaga hihiiri hwola aye eyiri enywe, hiisi hiseera hiba hiraŋi omuutu ohuhola ehi aba ni genda. 7 Abaatu sibaŋanga hubacaawa aye ese bacaawa olwohuba mbalomera amazima ti ebibahola bibi. 8 Enywe mutiine hu Mbaga, ese sindi hutiinayo hatyane olwohuba ese ebiseera byange ebyʼohutiina eyo bihiiri hwola.” 9 Ni gahena ohuloma atyo, nga niye asigalaho enyuma mu twale lyʼe Galilaaya.

10 Abaganda babe ni bahena ohutiina hu Mbaga, nga Yesu yeesi alondaho, aye mu ngiso. 11 Mu hiseera ehyo, abatangirisi bʼAbayudaaya baali bamudaha hu Mbaga, ni bebuusa baati, “Omusinde nago ali ŋe?”

12 Ngʼaŋo owaama obumuŋambaho butagiha ohubitabitana mu baatu hu Mbaga. Balala hu bo ni baloma baati, “Omusinde oyo mulaŋi.” Abandi baati, “Bbe, abbaamya abaatu.” 13 Aye olwʼohutya abatangirisi bʼAbayudaaya abaaliŋo, ŋaŋuma owʼamulomaho ehiitu hyosihyosi mu lwijuuye.

14 Aŋa Embaga eŋambira omwamba, Yesu gatiina mu lunya lwa Yekaalu, gatandiha ohusomesa. 15 Engeri eyi gasomesamo yeŋunjisa abatangirisi bʼAbayudaaya, nga bebuusa baati, “Omusinde oyo, gatusa ŋeena amagesi gano ate nga ko saasomanga mu masomero geefe?”

16 Nga Yesu abagobolamo ati, “Ebisomesa sibyange hu wange aye byʼoyo owaatuma. 17 Hiisi owenda ohuhola ebi Hatonda asiima, aja hutegeera oba ebisomesa biŋwa ewa Hatonda, oba byange hu wange. 18 Hiisi aloma hu lulwe aba geyendulira bibye hu wuwe aye oyo aloma ebyʼoyo owamutuma aba aholerera eŋono lyʼowamutuma era aloma byʼamazima, saaloma byʼobudulingi. 19 Kaho Musa sigabaŋa magambi ga Hatonda, ale hu nywe njʼani agaŋamba? Mubanga ni mugaŋamba hani simunesoomera hunjita.”

20 Ngʼaŋo ehiŋindi hyʼabaatu himugobolamo hiiti, “Ewe kooji emisambwa jihubandire! Njʼani ali huhwesoomera ohuhwita?”

21 Nga Yesu abagobolamo ati, “Nahola ehyamaliholiho hirala hyonyene, aye olwohuba nʼahihola lwa Sabbaato, mwesimwesi mwesisimula. 22 Cooka olwohuba Musa gabalagira ohuhomola (wayire sihwatandihira hu niye aye hu basehulu benywe), muhomola abaana nohu ludaalo lwa Sabbaato.* 7:22 Tand 17:10; Leev 12:3 23 Obanga muhomola omwana hu ludaalo lwa Sabbaato ohwoseresa amagambi aga baŋa Musa, lwahiina munyiigira olwʼohuŋonehesya erala omuutu hu ludaalo olwa Sabbaato? 24 Mulehere aŋo ohusala emisango ni mwema hu bimubona hu mugulu. Hiraŋi ohuŋonia omuutu oyo oba bbe? Musale omusango ogwo bulaŋi hubone.”

25 Aŋo paŋa balala hu baatu bomu Yerusaalemu batandihira ohwebuusa baati, “Ono sinje omusinde oyu besoomera ohwita? 26 Njʼono ali ŋano mu lwijuuye aye ŋaŋuma ehi bamulomaho. Abatangirisi beefe bahifaanisye baati nje Kurisito oyu bafuujaho amate ohunoŋola abaatu? 27 Ne omusinde ono efe humanyire eyi aŋwera, ate nga Kurisito nʼaliija, ŋaŋuma alimanya eyi aliŋwera.”

28 Yesu ni gaali nʼahisomehesa mu lunya lwa Yekaalu, ngʼaŋulira ni baloma baatyo. Ngʼaŋo adundaho ejanjaasi alangirira ati, “Wayire muŋeega muuti muumanyire era mumanyire nʼeyi pwera, aye sindi ŋano hu lwange. Hatonda owʼamazima njʼomwene hutuma. Enywe simumumanyire, 29 aye ese mumanyire olwohuba nʼaŋwa eyi ali era njʼowaatuma.”

30 Balala hu bo ni baŋulira ebyo, nga benda ohumuŋamba aye ŋaŋuma owahihola olwohuba ehiseera hihye ehyʼohufa hyali hihiiri hwola. 31 Cooka era bangi mu hibbubbu hyʼabaatu abaaliŋo bafugiirira ebibye, baloma baati, “Kurisito oyu bafuujaho amate ohunoŋola abaatu nʼaliija, alihola obubonero oweŋunjisa obuhira obu ono ahola?”

32 Ngʼaŋo Abafalisaayo baŋulira abaatu ni baŋweŋweta ebibono ebyo hu Yesu. Ngʼabatangirisi bʼabasengi batuma abahuumi ba Yekaalu ohumuŋamba. 33 Nga Yesu abaloma ati, “Nja huhena ahamanga hatono ni nenywe, kene nagame eyiri oyo owaatuma. 34 Muja hunyendula aye ni mutambona olwohuba simuŋanga huuja eyi ndi hutiina.”

35 Ngʼaŋo abatangirisi bʼAbayudaaya bebuusa abeene nʼabeene baati, “Omusinde ono genda hutiina ŋeena eyi hutaligobolayo humubona? Genda hutiina asomese Abatali Bayudaaya, eyi baatu beefe basalanihira? 36 Ategeesa hi ohuloma ati, ‘Muja hunyendula aye simuja humbona era simuŋanga huuja eyi ndi hutiina?’ ”

37 Aŋa Embaga enyinyitirira, hu ludaalo olusembayo, ko njʼoluhirira erala obubbala, Yesu genyoha galangirira ati, “Hiisi oyu enduŋo eruma gaaje eyi ndi, anywe amaaji agaleeta obulamu obutaŋwaŋo.* 7:37 Leev 23:36 38 Owufugiirira ngʼolu hyaŋandiihiwa hiroma, ‘Esulo ejʼamaaji agaleeta obulamu obutaŋwaŋo jihulumuta ohuŋwa mu mwoyo gugwe.’ ”* 7:38 Ezek 47:1; Zak 14:8

39 Yesu galoma atyo nʼategeesa Omwoyo Omutukuvu oyu abamufugiirira baali ni baja husuna. Mu hiseera ehyo, baali bahiiri hubaŋa Mwoyo olwohuba Hatonda gaali ahiiri hulamusa Yesu.

40 Abaatu ni baŋulira ebibono ebyo, ngʼabalala hu bo baloma baati, “Hituufu ono nje naabbi* 7:40 Mag 18:15-18 oyu baaloma baati aja huuja.”

41 Ngʼabandi baloma baati, “Ono nje Kurisito oyu bafuujaho amate ohunoŋola abaatu.” Aye abandi nga baloma baati, “Dala oyo oyu bafuujaho amate aŋanga atye ohuŋwa mu twale lyʼe Galilaaya? 42 Ehyaŋandiihiwa sihiroma hiiti Kurisito oyu bafuujaho aja huŋwa mu lulyo lwa Dawudi era aliba musaale wʼe Bbeserekemu ehibuga eyi basala Dawudi?”* 7:42 2 Sam 7:12; Mik 5:2 43 Olwʼohutaŋambagana hu bibaali ni baloma hu Yesu, babuhanamo. 44 Era abandi baali benda ohumuŋamba aye ŋaŋuma owahihola.

45 Abahuumi ba Yekaalu bala ni baagamayo, ngʼabatangirisi bʼabasengi nʼAbafalisaayo bababuusa baati, “Lwahiina simumuŋambe mwamutuleetera?” 46 Aye abahuumi abo babagobolamo baati, “Hubaaye sihubonangaho aloma mu ngeri eyeŋunjisa hyʼeyomusinde oyo!”

47 NgʼAbafalisaayo babagobolamo baati, “Kaho mwesi ababbaamisye? 48 Mwali muweneeho mulala hu fe abatangirisi oba hu Bafalisaayo, afugiirira ebibye? 49 Ohutusaho abaatu bano abatamanyire magambi, leha ehiraamo hya Hatonda hibalonde abeene olwʼohuŋuliirisa ebibye!”

50 Nga Nekodemu, mulala hu batangirisi abo, owaali nʼatiinire ohwebuusa hu Yesu owiire, ababuusa ati, 51 “Kaho amagambi geefe gafugiirira ohusalira omuutu omusango nʼahiiri huŋosya, nʼohufaania ehi aholire?”

52 Nga bamugobolamo baati, “Kaho weesi oŋwa mu twale lyʼe Galilaaya, ko olome otyo? Wetegerese mu byaŋandiihiwa, oja hubona oti naabbi oyo saaja huŋwa mu twale lyʼe Galilaaya.” 53 Ngʼaŋo hiisi muutu gagamayo ewuwe.* 7:53 Ebyaŋandihiwa ebindi biŋuma nyiriri ohuŋwa hu 7:53–8:11.
