John 7

Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nandeha tany Galilia Jesosy; fa nalain-kandeha tany Jodia Izy, satria nitady hahafaty Azy ny Jiosy.

After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Ary efa akaiky ny andro firavoravoan'ny Jiosy, dia ny amin'ny Tabernakely,

Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

ka hoy ny rahalahiny taminy: Mialà eto, ka mandehana ho any Jodia, mba ho hitan'ny mpianatrao koa ny asa izay ataonao;

His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

fa tsy misy olona manao zavatra amin'ny takona, nefa ny tenany mitady ho hita miharihary; raha manao izany zavatra izany Hianao, dia misehoa amin'izao tontolo izao.

For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

Fa na dia ny rahalahiny aza tsy nino Azy.

For neither did his brethren believe in him.

Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy mbola tonga ny fotoako; fa ny fotoanareo dia vonona lalandava.

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

Tsy mahazo mankahala anareo izao tontolo izao; fa Izaho no halany, satria milaza fa ratsy ny asany.

The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

Miakara ho amin'ny andro firavoravoana ianareo; fa Izaho tsy mbola miakatra ho amin'ity andro firavoravoana ity; satria tsy mbola tonga ny fotoako.

Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.

Ary rehefa nilaza izany teny izany taminy Izy, dia mbola nitoetra tany Galilia ihany.

When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

Fa rehefa lasa niakatra ho amin'ny andro firavoravoana ny rahalahiny, dia niakatra koa Izy, nefa tsy mba nisehoseho, fa toa niafinafina.

But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

Ary ny Jiosy dia nitady Azy tamin'ny andro firavoravoana ka nanao hoe: Aiza Izy?

Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

Ary nitakoritsika Azy be ihany ny vahoaka. Hoy ny sasany: Tsara fanahy Izy; fa hoy kosa ny sasany; Tsia; fa mamitaka ny vahoaka Izy.

And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.

Nefa tsy nisy sahy niresaka Azy miharihary noho ny fahatahorany ny Jiosy.

Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

Ary rehefa nisasaka ny andro firavoravoana, dia niakatra teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy ka nampianatra.

Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

Dia gaga ny Jiosy ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no nahaizan'ilehity soratra, nefa tsy mba nianatra Izy?

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

Dia namaly azy Jesosy ka nanao hoe: Tsy Ahy ny fampianarako, fa an'izay naniraka Ahy.

Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

Raha misy olona ta-hanao ny sitrapony, dia hahalala ny amin'ny fampianarana izy, na avy amin'Andriamanitra izany, na miteny ho Ahy Aho.

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

Izay miteny ho azy dia mitady ny voninahitry ny tenany; fa izay mitady ny voninahitr'izay naniraka azy no marina, ary tsy misy tsi-fahamarinana ao aminy.

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Tsy Mosesy va no nanome anareo ny lalàna? nefa tsy misy eo aminareo mankatò ny lalàna. Nahoana ianareo no mitady hamono Ahy?

Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

Ny vahoaka namaly hoe: Manana demonia Hianao; iza no mitady hamono Anao?

The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?

Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Asa iray loha ihany no nataoko, ka gaga avokoa ianareo rehetra.

Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

Izao no nanomezan'i Mosesy anareo ny famorana: tsy noho izy avy tamin'i Mosesy, fa noho izy avy tamin'ny razana, ka na dia amin'ny Sabata aza dia mamora olona ihany ianareo.

Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

Raha amin'ny Sabata aza no amorana olona, mba tsy hahafoana ny lalàn'i Mosesy, dia tezitra amiko va ianareo, satria nisy olona anankiray nataoko sitrana avokoa ny tenany rehetra tamin'ny Sabata.

If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

Aza mitsara araka ny miseho, fa mba mitsarà marina.

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Ary ny mponina sasany tany Jerosalema dia nanao hoe: Tsy Ilehity va Ilay tadiaviny hovonoina?

Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

Ary indro Izy miteny miharihary, nefa tsy misy miteny Azy akory. Sao efa fantatry ny mpanapaka anie fa Io no Kristy?

But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

Nefa fantatsika izay nihavian'ilehio, fa raha avy Kristy, tsy misy mahalala izay hihaviany.

Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

Dia niantso teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly Jesosy, raha nampianatra, ka nanao hoe: Izaho dia fantatrareo, sady fantatrareo koa izay nihaviako; ary tsy avy ho Ahy Aho, fa marina ny naniraka Ahy, Izay tsy fantatrareo.

Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

Izaho mahalala Azy; fa Izy no nihaviako, ka Izy no naniraka Ahy.

But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

Dia nitady hisambotra Azy ny olona; kanefa tsy nisy naninji-tanana taminy, satria tsy mbola tonga ny fotoany.

Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

Ary maro ny vahoaka no nino Azy ka nanao hoe: Raha tonga Kristy, moa hanao famantarana maro mihoatra noho ny nataon'ity Lehilahy ity va Izy?

And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

Ny Fariseo nandre ny vahoaka nitakoritsika izany zavatra izany ny aminy; ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo dia naniraka mpiandry raharaha mba hisambotra Azy.

The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

Dia hoy Jesosy: Kely foana no itoerako aminareo, dia hankany amin'izay naniraka Ahy Aho.

Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

Hitady Ahy ianareo, fa tsy hahita; ary izay itoerako dia tsy azonareo haleha.

Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.

Dia niresaka hoe ny Jiosy: Hankaiza moa no halehan'ilehity, no tsy ho hitantsika? Hankany amin'izay miely any amin'ny Grika va Izy ka hampianatra ny Grika?

Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

Ahoana re izao teny nolazainy izao hoe: Hitady Ahy ianareo, fa tsy hahita; ary izay itoerako tsy azonareo haleha?

What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

Ary tamin'ny andro farany, izay andro lehibe tamin'ny andro firavoravoana, dia nitsangana Jesosy ka niantso nanao hoe: Raha misy olona mangetaheta, aoka izy hanatona Ahy ka hisotro.

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

Izay mino Ahy, dia hisy onin'ny rano velona miboiboika avy ao an-kibony, araka ny voalazan'ny Soratra Masina.

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Ary ny Fanahy, Izay efa horaisin'ny mino Azy, no nolazainy tamin'izany; fa ny Fanahy tsy mbola nomena, satria Jesosy tsy mbola niditra tamin'ny voninahiny.

(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Ary ny sasany tamin'ny vahoaka, raha nandre izany teny izany, dia nanao hoe: Ity tokoa no Ilay Mpaminany.

Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

Hoy ny sasany: Ity no Kristy. Fa hoy kosa ny sasany: Avy any Galilia va no ihavian'i Kristy?

Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

Tsy voalazan'ny Soratra Masina va fa Kristy dia avy amin'ny taranak'i Davida, sady avy ao Betlehema, vohitra nonenan'i Davida (Mik. 5. 1)?

Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

Dia nisara-tsaina ny amin'i Jesosy ny vahoaka.

So there was a division among the people because of him.

Ary ny sasany nitady hisambotra Azy; kanefa tsy nisy naninji-tanana taminy.

And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

Ary ny mpiandry raharaha nankeo amin'ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo, ka hoy izy ireo taminy: Nahoana ianareo no tsy nitondra Azy?

Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

Ny mpiandry raharaha namaly hoe: Tsy mbola nisy olona niteny tahaka izany.

The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

Ary ny Fariseo namaly azy hoe: Hianareo koa va voafitaka?

Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

Moa misy mpanapaka na Fariseo mba nino Azy?

Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

Fa voaozona ireto vahoaka ireto, izay tsy mahalala ny lalàna.

But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

Ary Nikodemosy, anankiray teo aminy, dia ilay nankeo amin'i Jesosy teo aloha, dia nanao taminy hoe:

Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)

Moa manameloka olona va ny lalàntsika, raha tsy mbola mihaino azy aloha ka mahafantatra izay nataony?

Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

Izy ireo namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianao koa angaha mba avy any Galilia? Diniho, dia ho hitanao fa tsy mba misy mpaminany avy any Galilia.

They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

[Dia samy lasa nody ho any an-tranony avy izy rehetra;]

And every man went unto his own house.
