8 Kenako Yesu anapita kuphiri la Maolivi. 2 M’mawa kwambiri, anafikanso kukachisi ndipo anthu onse anayamba kubwera kwa iye. Choncho iye anakhala pansi ndi kuyamba kuwaphunzitsa. 3 Tsopano alembi ndi Afarisi anabweretsa mkazi amene anagwidwa akuchita chigololo. Ndipo atamuimika pakati pawo, 4 anauza Yesu kuti: “Mphunzitsi, mkazi uyu wagwidwa akuchita chigololo. 5 M’Chilamulo, Mose analamula kuti akazi oterewa tiziwaponya miyala. Nanga inu mukutipo bwanji?” 6 Iwo kwenikweni anali kunena zimenezi pofuna kungomuyesa, kuti amupeze chifukwa chomuimbira mlandu. Koma Yesu anawerama ndi kuyamba kulemba pansi ndi chala chake. 7 Atalimbikira kumufunsa, iye anaweramuka ndi kuwauza kuti: “Munthu amene ali wopanda tchimo pakati panu, ayambe iyeyo kumuponya mwala mkaziyu.” 8 Kenako anaweramanso ndi kupitiriza kulemba pansi. 9 Koma iwo atamva zimenezi, anayamba kuchoka mmodzimmodzi. Oyamba kuchoka anali akulu, mpaka Yesu anamusiya yekha ndi mkazi amene anali pakati pawo uja. 10 Tsopano Yesu ataweramuka, anafunsa mkaziyo kuti: “Mayi iwe, anthu aja ali kuti? Kodi palibe amene waona kuti ndiwe woyenera kulangidwa?” 11 Mkaziyo anati: “Palibe bambo.” Ndiyeno Yesu anati: “Inenso sindikuona kuti ndiwe woyenera kulangidwa. Pita, kuyambira lero usakachitenso tchimo.”

12 Pamenepo Yesu analankhula nawonso kuti: “Ine ndine kuwala+ kwa dziko. Wonditsatira ine sadzayenda mumdima,+ koma adzakhala nako kuwala kwa moyo.” 13 Chotero Afarisi anauza Yesu kuti: “Iwe umadzichitira wekha umboni koma umboni wakowo si woona ayi.” 14 Poyankha Yesu anati: “Ngakhale kuti ndimadzichitira ndekha umboni,+ umboni wanga ndi woona, chifukwa ndikudziwa kumene ndinachokera ndi kumene ndikupita.+ Koma inu simukudziwa kumene ndinachokera ndi kumene ndikupita. 15 Inu mumaweruza mwa kungoona maonekedwe a munthu.+ Inetu sindiweruza munthu aliyense.+ 16 Koma ndikati ndiweruze, chiweruzo changa chimakhala cholungama, chifukwa sindiweruza ndekha, pakuti Atate amene anandituma ali ndi ine.+ 17 Ndiponso m’Chilamulo chanu chomwechi analembamo kuti, ‘Umboni wa anthu awiri ndi woona.’+ 18 Ineyo pandekha ndimadzichitira umboni, ndipo Atate amene anandituma amandichitiranso umboni.”+ 19 Pamenepo iwo anati: “Atate wako ali kuti?” Yesu anayankha kuti: “Inu simukundidziwa ine kapena Atate wanga.+ Mukanandidziwa ine, mukanadziwanso Atate wanga.”+ 20 Ananena mawu amenewa ali m’malo a zopereka+ pamene anali kuphunzitsa m’kachisi. Koma palibe amene anamugwira,+ chifukwa nthawi yake+ inali isanafikebe.

21 Choncho iye anawauzanso kuti: “Ine ndikuchoka ndipo mudzandifunafuna,+ koma mudzafabe m’tchimo lanu.+ Kumene ine ndikupita inu simungathe kukafikako.” 22 Pamenepo Ayudawo anayamba kunena kuti: “Kodi akufuna kudzipha? Nanga n’chifukwa chiyani akunena kuti, ‘Kumene ine ndikupita inu simungathe kukafikako?’”+ 23 Iye anawauza kuti: “Inu ndinu ochokera pansi pano, ine ndine wochokera kumwamba.+ Inu ndinu ochokera m’dziko lino,+ ine si wochokera m’dziko lino.+ 24 N’chifukwa chake ndakuuzani kuti, Inu mudzafa m’machimo anu.+ Pakuti ngati simukhulupirira kuti ine ndine amene munali kumuyembekezera uja, mudzafa m’machimo anu.”+ 25 Choncho iwo anayamba kunena kuti: “Kodi iwe ndiwe ndani?” Yesu anati: “N’chifukwa chiyani ndikudzivuta kulankhula nanu? 26 Ndili ndi zambiri zoti ndinene zokhudza inu ndi kuperekerapo chiweruzo. Ndipotu amene anandituma ine amanena zoona. Zimene ndinamva kwa iye, zomwezo ndikuzilankhula m’dzikoli.”+ 27 Iwo sanazindikire kuti anali kunena za Atatewo. 28 Pamenepo Yesu anati: “Mukadzamukweza+ Mwana wa munthu,+ pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti ine ndine amene munali kumuyembekezera uja,+ ndi kutinso sindichita kanthu mongoganiza ndekha.+ Koma ndimalankhula zinthu izi ndendende mmene Atate anandiphunzitsira.+ 29 Ndipo amene ananditumayo ali ndi ine. Iye sandisiya ndekha, chifukwa ndimachita zinthu zomukondweretsa nthawi zonse.”+ 30 Pamene anali kulankhula zimenezi, ambiri anakhulupirira mwa iye.+

31 Chotero Yesu anapitiriza kuuza Ayuda amene anamukhulupirirawo kuti: “Mukamasunga mawu anga nthawi zonse,+ ndiye kuti ndinudi ophunzira anga. 32 Mudzadziwa choonadi,+ ndipo choonadi chidzakumasulani.”+ 33 Iwo anamuyankha kuti: “Ifetu ndife ana a Abulahamu+ ndipo sitinakhalepo akapolo a munthu.+ Tsopano iwe ukunena bwanji kuti, ‘Mudzamasulidwa’?” 34 Yesu anawayankha kuti: “Ndithudi ndikukuuzani, Aliyense wochita tchimo ndi kapolo wa tchimo.+ 35 Komanso, kapolo sakhala m’banjamo kwamuyaya, mwana ndiye amakhalamo kwamuyaya.+ 36 Choncho ngati Mwana wakumasulani, mudzakhaladi omasuka.+ 37 Ndikudziwa kuti ndinu ana a Abulahamu, koma mukufuna kundipha,+ chifukwa mawu anga sakukhazikika mwa inu.+ 38 Zimene ndinaziona kwa Atate wanga+ ndi zimene ndimalankhula.+ Chotero inunso mumachita zimene mwamva kwa atate wanu.” 39 Poyankha iwo anati: “Atate wathu ndi Abulahamu.”+ Yesu anawauza kuti: “Ngati ndinu ana a Abulahamu,+ chitani ntchito za Abulahamu. 40 Koma tsopano mukufuna kundipha ine, munthu amene ndakuuzani choonadi chimene ndinachimva kwa Mulungu.+ Abulahamu sanachite zimenezi.+ 41 Inu mumachita ntchito za atate wanu.” Iwo anati: “Ife sitinabadwe m’chigololo,* tili ndi Atate mmodzi,+ ndiye Mulungu.”

42 Pamenepo Yesu anati: “Mulungu akanakhala Atate wanu, mukanandikonda,+ pakuti ine ndinachokera kwa Mulungu ndipo ndili pano.+ Sindinabwere mwakufuna kwanga ayi, koma Iyeyo anandituma.+ 43 N’chifukwa chiyani mukulephera kuzindikira zimene ine ndikunena? N’chifukwa chakuti simukufuna kumvetsera mawu anga.+ 44 Inu ndinu ochokera kwa atate wanu Mdyerekezi,+ ndipo mukufuna kuchita zokhumba za atate wanu.+ Iyeyo ndi wopha anthu chiyambire kupanduka kwake,+ ndipo sanakhazikike m’choonadi, chifukwa mwa iye mulibe choonadi. Pamene akunena bodza, amalankhula za m’mutu mwake, chifukwa iye ndi wabodza komanso tate wake wa bodza.+ 45 Koma popeza ine ndimanena zoona, simundikhulupirira.+ 46 Ndani wa inu amene angandipeze ndi mlandu wa tchimo? Ndipo ngati ndimanena zoona, n’chifukwa chiyani simundikhulupirira?+ 47 Wochokera kwa Mulungu amamvetsera mawu a Mulungu.+ Ndiye chifukwa chake inu simumvetsera, chifukwa sindinu ochokera kwa Mulungu.”+

48 Poyankha Ayudawo anati: “Kodi tikamanena kuti, Ndiwe Msamariya+ ndipo uli ndi chiwanda,+ tikulakwitsa ngati?” 49 Yesu anayankha kuti: “Ndilibe chiwanda ine, ndimalemekeza Atate wanga,+ koma inu mukundinyoza. 50 Komatu ine sindikudzifunira ndekha ulemerero.+ Alipo Wina amene akuufuna ndipo iye ndi woweruza.+ 51 Ndithudi ndikukuuzani, ngati munthu akusunga mawu anga, sadzaona imfa.”+ 52 Ayudawo anati: “Tsopano tadziwa ndithu kuti uli ndi chiwanda.+ Abulahamu anamwalira,+ ndiponso aneneri.+ Koma iwe ukunena kuti, ‘Ngati munthu asunga mawu anga sadzalawa+ imfa.’ 53 Kodi iweyo ndiwe wamkulu+ kuposa atate wathu Abulahamu amene anamwalira? Aneneri nawonso anamwalira.+ Ndiye iweyo ukudziyesa ndani?” 54 Yesu anayankha kuti: “Ngati ndikudzilemekeza ndekha, ndiye kuti ulemerero wanga ndi wopanda pake. Atate wanga ndi amene amandilemekeza,+ amene inu mukuti ndi Mulungu wanu, 55 chikhalirecho simukumudziwa.+ Koma ine ndikumudziwa.+ Ngati ndinganene kuti sindikumudziwa ndingakhale wabodza, kufanana ndi inuyo. Koma ndikumudziwa ndithu ndipo ndikusunga mawu ake.+ 56 Atate wanu Abulahamu anali wosangalala poyembekezera kuona tsiku langa,+ ndipo analiona moti anakondwera.”+ 57 Pamenepo Ayudawo anati: “Zaka 50 zakubadwa sunakwanitse n’komwe, ndiye ukuti unamuona Abulahamu?” 58 Yesu anati: “Ndithudi ndikukuuzani, Abulahamu asanakhaleko, ine n’kuti ndilipo kale.”+ 59 Pamenepo anatola miyala kuti amugende nayo,+ koma Yesu anabisala ndi kutuluka m’kachisimo.
