eng: The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of Man?”

abt: Jisas wunga wandéka dat wandarén, “Nané talimba Gotna nyéngaamba viyaatakandarén apakundimba vénanén. Got wan du Kraiské ani kundi anga viyaataka-ndarén: Dé katik kiyaaké dé.

eng: Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

abt: Bulaa Got néma du rate ani képmaamba tékwa du dakwa yandarén muséké wakandékwa. Bulaa wandu ani képmaana néma du Satan yaange yékandékwa.


eng: And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

abt: Wunat miba kusawurédo kukba kéni képmaaba rakwa du taakwat wawuru wunéké yaaké guné yo.”


eng: But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

abt: Wunga wate dékét dé viyaandékngé yandakwanngé wa wandén. De wani kundi vékwe vékusékngandakwa, dé kiyaandu yandara muséké.


abt: Waga wate dé dérét viyaapérekdaranké kudi wakwek. De wani kudi véknwute kutdéngké de yo, dé kiyaadu yadaran muké.


eng: Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.

abt: Wunga wandaka Jisas det wandén, “Gotna gaayémba gaayakwa kundi wuné vékuwuténngé yamba wandékwe wa. Guné vékungunénngé wa wandékwa.


eng: Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

abt: Naandéka wamba tékésén du dakwa vékutake ras wa wan, “Jatndu wa yakwa.” Ras wa wan, “Gotna kundi kure gaayakwa du nak Jisasale wa bulndékwa.”


eng: Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

abt: Naatake Gorét anga wandén, “Aapa, méné waménu ména yé kavérék-ngandakwa.” Wunga wandéka ani kundi Gotna gaayémba gaayan anga: “Wuné wawutéka wuna yé wa kavérékndarén. Nakapuk wawutu kavérékngandakwa.”


eng: “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time?’ But I came to this time for this cause.

abt: Wunga watake nakapuk anga wandén, “Bulaa wuna kwaminyan a bérukwa. Kiyaawuta nyaa a yakwa. Yandu Gorét anga waatakuké wuté? ‘Aapa, wuné kandé kiyaaké ya. Wunéké yaaké yakwa musé ma ve kusati.’ Wunga waké wuté? Yamba wa. Wuné kiyaae du dakwat yékun yaké wa gaayawutén ani képmaat.”


eng: If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

abt: Du dakwa wuna jémbaa yaké mawulé ye, wa de wuna kundi vékukandakwa. Vékwe de wuné rana taalémba de waak rakandakwa. Wuna aapa wuna jémbaa yakwa du dakwana yé kavérékngandékwa.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

abt: Deku sépéké male vékulakakwa du dakwa lambiyak-ngandakwa. Katik kulémawulé kéraae yékunmba yatéké daré apapu apapu. Deku sépéké vékulakakapuk yate wuna jémbaaké male vékukwa apu, wa de kulémawulé kéraae yékunmba yatékandakwa apapu apapu.


eng: Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

abt: Ye wambéréka Jisas anga wandén, “Duna Nyaan wuné. Got wuna yé kavérékngé yandékwa nyaa a yakwa.


eng: Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.

abt: Naandaka Filip ye Andru we sékét yémbérén, wani muséké Jisasét waké.


eng: Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

abt: Wani dunyansé ras ye Jisasna du nak Filipale bulndarén. Filip dé Betsaida du wa. Betsaida Galili distrikmba téndékwa. Wani dunyansé Filipét anga wandarén, “Néma du, nané Jisas vékwate yakwa.”


eng: Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.

abt: Juda du dakwa Pasova waanangwa nyaa yandakwa musé véte Gorét waatakuké wa Jerusalemét yéndarén. Nak gaayémba yaan dunyan ras waak yéndarén wunga yaké. De Grik dunyansé wa.


eng: The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”

abt: Yaae déku yé kavérékndaka Farisi dunyansé kalik yandarén. Yate dekét deku kapmang bulte anga wandarén, “Ma véna. Akwi du dakwa de Jisaské male wa néma mawulé yandakwa. Nana kundi yamba vékundakwe wa.” Naandarén.


eng: For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

abt: Wandaka némaamba du dakwa de waak wani vékapuk yandarén kulé apanjémba yandénngé vékundarén. Vékutake wa Jisas véké yaambat yaandarén.


eng: The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.

abt: Talimba némaamba du dakwa véndarén, Jisas wandéka Lasarus nakapuk taamale waarapndéka. Vétake wa yé yaayandarén.


eng: “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”

abt: Jisas donki nyaanmba waare yéndén. Jisas wunga yandénngé du nak talimba Gotna nyéngaamba anga viyaatakandén: Guné Saionmba tékwa du dakwa guné wup yaké yambak. Ma vé. Guna néma du dé a yaakwa.

Nané Gotna yé ma kavérékngwak.


eng: On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

abt: Némaamba du dakwa Jerusalemét yéndarén, Pasova waanangwa nyaa yandakwa musé véké. Ye randarén. Re kwaae ganmba vékundarén Jisas Jerusalemét yaaké yandéka.


eng: because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

abt: Wani taaléba rakwa du taakwa de kudi véknwuk Lasaraské. Véknwute wupmalemu du de Jisaské miték sanévéknwuk. Sanévéknwute de deku némaan duna kudiké kélik yak. Yadaka de nyédé duna némaan du Lasarasnyét wawo viyaapérekgé de kudi gik.


eng: A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

abt: Jerusalemmba tékwa némaamba du dakwa vékundarén wa Jisas déku dunyan sékét Betanimba yaréndaka. Vékutake dé véké yaandarén. Jisas male véké yamba yaandakwe. Lasarus waak véké wa yaandarén. Lasarus kiyaandéka Jisas wandéka taamale waarapndénngé wandaka vékundarén. Wunga vékutake dé véké yaandarén.


eng: For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”

abt: Watake anga wandén, “Musékapuk du dakwa gunale sékét wa yarépéka-kandakwa. Yaréndaru mawulé yangunéngwa sapak apapu guné det yékun yakangunéngwa. Wuné gunale katik yarépékaké wuté.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.

abt: Wunga wandéka Jisas anga wandén, “Lat waaruké yambak. Kukmba wuné kiyaawutu kwaawumba rémngandakwa. Wanngé vékulakate wa wunga yalén.” Wanngé wate de Judasé pusaa rémngé yate yandakwanngé wa wandén.


eng: Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

abt: Wan dé sél yakwa du wa. Dé Jisasna dunyanséna yéwaa kure re ras sél yandén. Dé wani yéku gu kéraamuké yéwaa ras sél yaké watake wa wunga wandén. Dé musékapuk du dakwaké yamba vékulakandékwe wa.


eng: “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”

abt: Maria wunga yaléka Judas vétake wandén, “Kamuké lé wunga yo? Wani gu wan yéku gu wa. Lé wani gu kwayéte néma (300 kina pulak) yéwaa kéraae musékapuk du dakwat kwayémunaalu yékun yakatik.” Naandén.


eng: Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

abt: Jisasna du nak déku yé Judas Iskariot dé dele sékét randén wani gaamba. Wani du kukmba Jisas maamasat kwayékandékwa.


eng: Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’s feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

abt: Déku nyange nak léku yé Maria yéku yaama yakwa gu ras kure ralén. Kure re Jisasna maanmba sévitake léku némbat létéklén. Wunga yaléka wani yéku yaama gaamba yaama yandéka gaamba ran du akwi vékundarén.


eng: So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

abt: Jisasna kakému Lasarusna gaamba yaakéréndaka Jisas déku dunyansale sékét wulaae gaamba rakésndarén. Randaka Lasarusna nyange Marta kakému yaake kwayéléka kandarén. Lasarus dé dele rate karéndén.


eng: Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

abt: Nyaa taambak kaayék nak (6) yéndu wa Pasova waanangwa nyaa yaaké yakwa. Wani sapak Jisas déku dunyansale sékét Betanit yéndarén. Wani gaayé wan Lasarusna gaayé wa. Talimba wani du Lasarus kiyaandéka Jisas wandéka nakapuk taamale waarapndén.


eng: Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”

abt: Ye saabe de Jisaské sékalék. Sékalpatiye Gotna kudi buldakwa némaa gaba téte de deku kapmu bulte de wak, “Yaga pulak guné sanévéknwu? Pasova kadému kaké yaaké dé yo, kapu kaapuk?” Naate de wak.


eng: Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.

abt: Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa dunyanséna néma dunyan, Farisi dunyansé waak, anga wandarén, “Du nak Jisas yarékwa taalé vétake yaae nanat wandu. Nané Jisas kure kuriye kalapusmba taakakanangwa.” Naandarén.


abt: Déknyényba nyédé duna némaan du Parisina du wawo kéga de wak, “Jisasnyét kure ye raamény gaba taknaké naané yo.” Waga watakne de wak, “Jisas rakwa taalé du nak kutdéngdéran dé yae naanat wakweké dé yo.” Naate de wak.


eng: Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

abt: Pasova waanangwa sapak yaaké yandéka némaamba Judasé wa Jerusalemét yéndarén. Deku apakundi vékute, yandarén kapéremusé yasnyéputiye kururémuké, wa yéndarén Jerusalemét.


eng: Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

abt: Yandaka Jisas Jerusalem gaayéna ménimba, deku nyéndémba nakapuk yamba yeyé yaayaténdékwe. Yandéka déku dunyansé sékét Jerusalem taakatake Efraimét yéndarén. Ye wani gaayémba wa yaréndarén. Wani gaayé du yarékapuk baka taalé tékwanmba wa téndékwa.


eng: So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

abt: Kaiafas wunga wandéka de Judana néma dunyansé kundi bule gindarén, Jisas viyaandékngé.


eng: and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

abt: Jisas kiyaae Judasat male katik yékun yaké dé. Genge gaayémba tékwa Gotna nyambalésat waak yékun yakandékwa. Kiyaae taamale waarape wandu de akwi nakurak kémba tékandakwa.


eng: Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

abt: Wani kundi wate, déku mawuléké wunga yamba vékulakandékwe. Wani kwaaré dé Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa akwi dunyanséna néma du téndéka Got dat wandéka wa wandén, Jisas kiyaae Juda du dakwat yékun yakwate yandékwanngé.


eng: nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”

abt: Ma véku. Nané wani du Jisas viyaandéknanu de Romsé nané Judasat katik viyaaké daré. Dé nakurak kiyaandu nané katik kiyaaké nané. Wan yékun wa.” Naandén Kaiafas.


eng: But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

abt: Wani kwaaré Kaiafas Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa akwi dunyanna néma du wa téndén. Téte wani néma dunyanséna kundi vékutake det anga wandén, “Guné yamba vékusékngunéngwe wa.


eng: If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

abt: Nané déku jémbaaké dat watépékapuk yananu wa dé yatéte wungat male yandu akwi du dakwa dat wakandakwa, ‘Nana néma du wa.’ Naakandakwa. Yandaru néma du téte Romna néma duna taalé kéraandu Romna dunyansé kalik ye yaae Gotna kundi bulnangwa gaa yaavan kutte nana du dakwa waak viyaakandakwa.” Naandarén néma dunyansé.


eng: The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

abt: Saapéndaka de Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa dunyanséna néma dunyan, Farisi dunyansé waak waandaka akwi maaka dunyan yaandaka Jisaské anga wandarén, “Wani du talimba vékapuk yananén kulé apanjémba késépéri wa yandékwa. Nané yénga pulak yaké?


eng: But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

abt: Naandaka ras Farisi dunyanét ye Jisas yan muséké saapéndarén.


eng: Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.

abt: Némaamba du dakwa wa Mariaké yaae lale yare véndarén, Jisas wunga yandéka. Véte wandarén, “Got wandéka wa gaayandén Jisas. Yi wan wanana wa.”


eng: He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”

abt: Wunga waandéka kiyaan du nakapuk taamale waarape yaalandén. Déku maan, taamba, saawi akwi laplapét gindarén. Yatakandaka wa kwaandén. Kwaae taamale waarape yaalandéka wandén Jisas, “Laplap ma lapattaka yéndu.” Naandéka lapattakandaka yéndén.


eng: I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”

abt: Wa vékusékwutékwa. Apapu wa wuna kundi vékuménéngwa. Amba tékwa du dakwaké vékulakate wa ménat wawutékwa. Ménat wawutékwa kundi vékute wakandakwa, ‘Got wandéka wa Jisas gaayandén. Yi wan wanana wa.’ Wunga wandarénngé mawulé yawutékwa.”


eng: So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

abt: Wunga wandéka wani matu varémansati-ndarén. Yandaka Jisas nyérét vaanjawure vététe anga wandén, “Aapa, wuna kundi wa vékuménén. Vékuménénga wuna mawulé yékun yandékwa.


eng: Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”

abt: Naaléka Jisas wa wan, “Nyéné takamba wa wawutén, ‘Wunéké yékunmba vékulakamunaae, nyéné Gotna mayé apa vékanyénéngwa.’ Wani kundiké ma vékulaka.”


eng: Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

abt: Jisas saambake anga wandén, “Wani matu ma varémansati.” Naandéka kiyaan duna nyange Marta, kalik yate dat walén, “Néman Du, kiyaandéka nyaa vétik vétik yén wa. Kapérandi yaama wa yaké yakwa.”


eng: Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

abt: Jisas mawulé sémbéraa yasékéyak-téndéka dale sékét ye Lasarus rémndarén taalémba saambakndarén. Talimba wa wani taalé, néma matumba kwaawu vaae wulaandarén. Lasarus kiyaandéka déku pusaa wani kwaawumba taakatake matut nak wani kwaawu kétaak-tépéndarén.


eng: Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”

abt: Wunga wandaka de ras wa wan, “Talimba wandéka ménimbo yan du nakapuk véndén. Dé Jisas wamunaandu Lasarus katik kiyaakatik dé kapuk? Kamuké dé Lasarusét wunga wakapuk yak?” Naandarén.


eng: The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”

abt: Géraandéka vétake anga wandarén, “Ma véna. Wani duké néma mawulé wa yandén.”


eng: and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”

abt: Bérundéka wandén, “Dé yani taalémba guné rémék?” Naandéka wandarén, “Néman Du, ma yaae vé.”


eng: When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,

abt: Wunga wate géraaléka Jerusalemmba yaan du dakwa waak yaate lale sékét géraandaka véndén Jisas. Vétake mawulé sémbéraa yandéka déku kwaminyan bérun.


eng: Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”

abt: Mariana mawulé yéknwun yaduké de du taakwa las Jerusalemba taknaba yaak. Yae de lé wale rak gaba. Rate de vék lé raapme kaapat bari gwaadéléka. Gwaadéléka véte de wak, “Lasarasnyét rémdanba géraaké lé gwaadu.” Waga wate de léku kukba raapme yék. Naané Jisas wale gayét kaapuk wekna yaanan. Taale Mata naanat vélén taaléba naané ték. Ténaka Maria ye saabe lé Jisasnyét vék. Vétakne kwati yaane lé dérét wak, “Némaan Ban, kéba raménu mukatik wuna kayé kiyaamarék yakatik dé yak.”


eng: When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.

abt: Wunga waléka vékutake Maria bari waarape Jisas véké yélén.


eng: She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”

abt: Naandéka walén, “Néman Du, yi wan wanana wa. Méné Got wan du Krais wa. Méné Gotna nyaan wa. Méné kaavérénangwa du wa. Yi wan wanana wa.” Naalén.


eng: Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

abt: Naaléka Jisas anga wandén, “Wuna kapmang wakawutékwa. Wunéké yékunmba vékulakate kiyaan du dakwa wawutu nakapuk taamale waarapkandakwa. Waarape kulémawulé kéraae yékunmba rapéka-kandakwa apapu apapu. Wunéké yékunmba vékulakakwa du dakwa de kulémawulé kéraae yékunmba rapéka-kandakwa apapu apapu. Katik lambiyakngé daré. Ani wawutékwa kundiké, ‘Yi. Wan wanana wa,’ nyéné naau?”


eng: Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

abt: Wunga wandéka Marta wa wan, “Wa vékusék-wutékwa. Kiyaan du dakwa taamale waarapna sapak wa waarapkandékwa.”


eng: Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

abt: Naaléka Jisas wa wan, “Nyéna kaayé nakapuk taamale waarapkandékwa.” Naandén.


eng: Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

abt: Méné bulaa musé nakngé Gorét waataku-munaaménu, wa mawulé yaménéngwa musé akwi yakandékwa. Wan wa vékusékwutékwa.”


eng: Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

abt: Marta yaae Jisasét vétake walén, “Néman Du, méné amba ramunaaménu wuna kaayé katik kiyaakatik dé.


eng: Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.

abt: Jisas déku dunyansale yaambumba yéténdaka wa Marta wandaka vékulén. Vékutake Jisas yaambumba véké watake yélén. Yéléka Maria lé gaamba yaran.


eng: Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

abt: Marta ambét Mariana kaayé kiyaandéka némaamba du dakwa wa Jerusalem taakatake Betanit yékéraandarén, bérale sékét raké.


eng: Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.

abt: Betani Jerusalemale wa tékwa (3 kilomita pulak wa). Kulémba yamba wa.


eng: Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”

abt: Wunga wandéka déku du nak Tomas, déku nak yé Didimus, wa wan det, “Ma yékwak. Ye dale kiyaakanangwa.” Naandén.


eng: I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”

abt: Kiyaandéka wuné dale yamba yaréwutékwe. Guné wuna mayé apa véngunénngé watake wa wuné déké yékapuk yawutéka wa wuna mawulé a yékun yakwa. Bulaa déké ma yékwak.” Naandén.


eng: So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.

abt: Naandaka det wandén, “Lasarus dé kiyaan wa.


eng: Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

abt: Naate Lasarus kiyaanngé wa wandén. Wandéka de déku dunyansé deku mawuléké anga wandarén, “Wa ani baka yundé kwaandékwanngé wa wandékwa.” Naate wandarén, “Néman Du, dé baka yundé kwaamunaae wa dé yékun yakandékwa.”


eng: He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”

abt: Wunga watake anga wandén, “Nana naawindu Lasarus ani yundé kwaakwa. Wuné ye sérkiyaawutu waarapkandékwa.”


eng: But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”

abt: Naandaka Jisas anga wandén, “Du nyaamba yéte katik vaakérké dé. Wa nyaa véténdéka kurkale ve wa yéténdékwa. Gaan yékwa du wa vaakérkandékwa. Gaan kurkale yamba ve yéténdékwe wa.

eng: Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”

abt: Yare kukmba wandén, “Ma yékwak waambule Judia distrikét.”


eng: When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

abt: Jisas Maria ambét Marta, Lasarus béréké waak néma mawulé yandén. Lasarus baat yandékwanngé vékutake yaréndén gaayémba nyaa vétik waak yaréndén.


eng: But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”

abt: Waambéréka Jisas wani kundi vékutake wandén, “Wani baat yandu dé katik kiyaaké dé. Wuné Gotna nyaan. Wuné dé kururéwutu guné dat ve Gotna yé kavérék-ngangunéngwa.” Naandén.


eng: Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.

abt: Betaniba ran du nak dé kiyakiya yak. Déku yé Lasaras. Betani wan Maria bét léku némaadu Matana néwaage.


eng: It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

abt: Lé wani taakwa Maria wa yéku yaama yakwa gu Néman Du Jisasna maanmba sévin. Sévitake léku némbat létéklén. Wan léku kaayé Lasarus wa baat yan.


eng: Many believed in him there.

abt: Wunga watake wani gaayémba yarékwa du dakwa némaamba déké yékunmba vékulakate wandarén, “Jisas wan Gotna nyaan wa. Yi wan wanana wa.” Naandarén.


eng: Many came to him. They said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.”

abt: Yaréndéka némaamba du dakwa wa déké yaandarén. Yaae vétake dekét deku kapmang bulte anga wandarén, “Jon talimba vékapuk yananén kulé apanjémba yamba yandékwe wa. Yate wani duké wate yéku kundi male wandén. Yi wan wanana wa.”


eng: He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and he stayed there.

abt: Jisas nakapuk waambule ye Jordan kaambélé saaye nak aangat yéndén. Ye Jon det baptais kwayétan taalémba saambake dé wani taalémba yaréndén.


eng: They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.

abt: Wunga wandéka dé nakapuk kulkiye kalapusmba taakaké yandarén. Ye dé yéndéka yamba kulkiye kure yéndakwe wa.


eng: If I don’t do the works of my Father, don’t believe me.

abt: Wuné wuna aapana jémbaa yakapuk yawutu guné wuna kundi vékumbak.

eng: do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’

abt: Wuna aapa wunat wandéka wa ani képmaat gaayawutén, du dakwat yékun yaké. Gaaye anga wawutén, ‘Wuné Gotna nyaan a.’ Wawutéka wangunéngwa, ‘Méné wani kundi wate Gorét wa wasélékménéngwa.’ Naangunéngwa. Kamuké guné wunga wo?

abt: Naandaka anga wandén, “Yénga véké? Guna apakundimba ani kundi wa kwaakwa nyéngaamba: Guné Got pulak rangunéngwanngé wa wawutén.


eng: The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”

abt: Naandéka wandarén, “Nané yéku jémbaaké yamba vékulakate ménat matut viyaaké yanangwe wa. Méné kundi sépélak aapélak bulte Gorét wasélékménéngwa. Méné néma du yamba wa. Méné baka du wa. Yate anga waménéngwa, ‘Aané Gorale nakurak wa.’ Wunga waménénga wa méné matut viyaaké yanangwa.” Naandarén.


eng: Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”

abt: Yandaka Jisas det anga wandén, “Wuné wuna aapana yéku jémbaa késépéri wa yawutéka véngunén. Yénga baan jémbaaké vékulakate guné wunat matut viyaakwate yo?”

eng: I and the Father are one.”

abt: Wuna aapale aané nakurak wa.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

abt: Wuna sipsip de wuna kundi vékundakwa. Vékundaka wuné de vésékwurétake taale yéwutéka wa wuna kukmba yaandakwa.


eng: Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.

abt: Wandaka Jisas wa wan, “Wuné gunat wa wawutén. Wawutéka guné yamba yékunmba vékulakangunéngwe wa. Wuna aapa mayé apa tiyaandéka wa déku jémbaa yawutékwa. Yawutu guné wani jémbaa kurkale vémunaae wa wunéké vékusékngatik guné.


eng: The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, “How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

abt: Wani maaléngamba yeyé yaayaténdéka Judana néma dunyansé yaae jaawuwe téte dat anga wandarén, “Yénga sapak méné nanat waménu nané ménéké kurkale vékusékngé nané? Méné Got wan du Krais témunaae ma wa nanat.” Naandarén.

eng: Others said, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn’t possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”

abt: De ras wunga wandaka, de ras wa wan, “Yamba wa. Déku mawulémba kutakwa témunaalu wani kundi katik bulké dé. Talimba wandéka ménimbo yan du yékun yandén. Kutakwa walu ménimbo nakapuk katik véké dé.” Judana néma dunyansé wunga wandarén.

abt: Rate némaamba dunyansé wa wan, “Déku mawulémba kutakwa téléka wa wunga yandékwa. Guné déku kundi vékuké yambak.” Naandarén.


eng: Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.

abt: Wandéka de Judana néma dunyansé wani kundi vékutake vétik mawulé yate nakapuk kém kutéke kém vétik randarén.


eng: No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”

abt: Wuné kalik yamunaawutu wunat katik viyaaké daré. Wuné mawulé ye yi naawutu viyaandék-ngandakwa. Wuna jémbaa wa. Wuné apamama yate yi naawutu wuné viyaandaru kiyaae apamama ye nakapuk taamale waarapkawutékwa. Wani jémbaa yawuténngé wa wuna aapa wunat wandén.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

abt: “Yate yi naawutu wuné viyaandaru kiyaae nakapuk taamale waarapkawutékwa. Wunga yaké yawutékwanngé wuna aapa mawulé tawulé yandékwa wunéké.


eng: I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

abt: Wuna sipsip ras waak wa tékwa. Wuna kundi yamba vékundakwe wa. Ani sipsipale yamba téndakwe wa. Wuné de waak kure yaakawutékwa. Wuna sipsip akwi wunale nakurakmawulé yandaru wuné kapmang deké séngite vétékawutékwa.


eng: even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

abt: “Wuné sipsipké miték wuné téségu. Wuna yaapa dé wunat kutdéngék. Kutdéngdéka wuné dérét wuné kutdéngék. Waga pulak wuné wuna sipsipmét kutdéngwuréka wuna sipsip wunat de kutdéngék. Wuna sipsipmét kutkalé yaké wuné kusékétwuru de wuna maama wunat viyaapérekgé de yo.


eng: The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand and doesn’t care for the sheep.

abt: Wani paapu yakwa du, yéwaa kéraaké jémbaa yakwa du pulak yate, de sipsipké yamba kurkale séngiye véténdakwe wa. Waaléwasa yaandaka vétake sipsip yaasékatake yaange yéndakwa. Yaangéndaka waaléwasa sipsipét tiké wulkutndaka yaange yé yaayandakwa.


eng: All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them.

abt: Taale yaan du wan gwalmu sél yakwa du pulak yate de yénaa yak. Yadaka sipsip deku kudi kaapuk véknwudan. Wuné sél yakwa duna kukba wunébu yaak.


eng: I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out and will find pasture.

abt: Wuné gwéspété pulak. Du taakwa yae wani gwéspétéba wulaadaran de apuba apuba miték rasaakuké de yo. De wani gwéspétéba wulaa yaalate kadému kérae kaké de yo.


eng: The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

abt: Paapu yakwa du paapu yate du dakwana mawulé yaavan kurké wa yaandarén. Wuné du dakwat yékun yate kulémawulé kwayéwutu mawulé yate apapu yékunmba rapéka-ndarénngé, wa yaawutén.

abt: “Wuné sipsipké kurkale séngite vétékwa du a. Wuna sipsipét yékun yaké yi naawutu wuna maama wuné viyaandaru kiyaakawutékwa.


eng: Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn’t understand what he was telling them.

abt: De nak duna kukmba yamba yéndakwe wa. Wani duna kundi vékuké yapatite déké wup yate yaangéndakwa.”


eng: “Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber.

abt: Jisas anga wandén, “Gunat a wawutékwa. Sipsip tékwa séndat wulaaké mawulé yate pété yaasékatake, gindarén aatmumba waaréte daawulikwa du, wan musé asé sél yate baka kéraakwa du wa.


eng: But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

abt: Gwéspétéba wulaakwa du wan sipsipké téségékwa du.


eng: The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

abt: Wani du wulaaké yadéka dé gwéspétéba tékwa du gwés naapiyu. Naapidéka wulaadéka de sipsip déku kudi véknwu. Déku sipsipna yéba male dé wao. Waate yédéka véknwute de kaapat gwaadu. Gwaadédaka dé sipsipké téségékwa du taale yu.


eng: Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

abt: Yéndéka déku sipsip déku kundi vékute déku kukmba yéndakwa.


abt: Yédéka déku sipsip déku kudi véknwute de déku kukba yu.


eng: Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

abt: Wunga waatakundaka wandén, “Guné Gorké vékusékngapuk yate ménimbo yan du pulak yarémunaae kapére mawulé katik yaké guné. Guné anga wangunéngwa, ‘Nana méni yamba ménimbo ye wa. Nané Gorké vékuséknangwa.’ Wunga wate Gorké vékusékngapuk yangunénga wa guna kapére mawulé wa tépékaakwa.” Naandén Jisas Farisi dunyanét.


eng: Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”

abt: Wunga wandéka de Farisi du ras wamba téte wani kundi vékutake dat anga wandarén, “Wa yénga méné wo? Nané Gorké vékusékngapuk ye ménimbo yan du pulak nané yaro? Wunga méné wo?”


eng: Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”

abt: Wunga yandéka Jisas anga wandén, “Du dakwa mawulé vétik yate kém vétikmba randarénngé wa wuné ani képmaat gaayawutén. Ras du dakwa wa wakwa, ‘Nané Gorké yamba vékuséknangwe wa.’ Wunga wate ménimbo yan du pulak wa téndakwa. Yaténdaru wuné yaae wawutu wa Gotna jémbaa vékandakwa.

Yaténdaru wuné yaae wawutu de ménimbo yan du pulak yatéte Gotna jémbaa katik véké daré.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.

abt: Naandéka wandén, “Néman Du, méné Duna Nyaan wa. Yi wan wanana wa. Bulaa a vésékwutékwa méné.” Naatake Jisasét kwaati séte waandé daandén.


eng: Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”

abt: Naandéka Jisas wa wan, “Méné dé wa véménén. Wani du bulaa ménale dé a bultékwa.”


eng: He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

abt: Naandéka wandén, “Néma du, wani du wan kandé? Wunat ma waménu wuné déké yékunmba vékulaka-kawutékwa.”


eng: Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”

abt: Wani du kewuréndaka yéndéka Jisas vékutake déké waake vétake dat anga wandén, “Méné Duna Nyaanngé méné yékunmba vékulako?”


eng: They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.

abt: Naandéka dat rakarka yate wandarén, “Ména aasa kapérandi musé yate wa méné kéraalén. Kéraatakaléka méné kapérandi musé yakwa du a téménéngwa. Wunga yatéte nanat yakwasnyéké yambak.” Naatake dat anga wandarén, “Gotna kundi bulnangwa gaa taakatake ma gwaande yé. Nakapuk yaalaké yambak.” Naandaka yéndén.


eng: If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

abt: Wunat wunga yéku jémbaa yandéka wawutén. A Got wandéka a yaandén. Wunga vékusékwutékwa.”


eng: We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.

abt: Anga wa vékuséknangwa. Got kapére mawulé yakwa duna kundi yamba vékundékwe wa. Déké yékunmba vékute déku jémbaa yakwa duna kundi wa vékundékwa.


eng: The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

abt: Naandaka wandén, “Wan yénga pulak dé? Dé wandéka wuna méni yékun yan. Ye guné dé yaandén taalé yamba véngunéngwe.


eng: We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

abt: Got Mosesale kundi bulndéka wa vékuséknangwa. Moseské wa vékuséknangwa. Wani kapérandi gandéndu yamba dé yaak? Yénga véké? Dé yaan taalé yamba vénangwe wa.”


eng: He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”

abt: Waatakundaka anga wandén, “Wa wawutén. Wawutéka yamba vékungunéngwe. Nakapuk kamu yandéka guné vékukwate yo? Guné waak déku jémbaamba gwaandéké guné mawulé yo, kapuk?”


eng: They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

abt: Naandéka wandarén, “Ménat kamu dé yak? Yénga yandéka dé ména méni yékun yak?”


eng: He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

abt: Naandaka det wandén, “Wuné yamba vékuséke wa. Dé kapérandi mawulé yakwa du dé, kapuk yénga du dé? Angat male vékusékwutékwa. Talimba wuna méni kiyaan. Bulaa wuna méni yékun yandéka yékunmba a véwutékwa.”


eng: So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

abt: Wunga wambéréka néma dusé wani duwat nakapuk waandarén. Waandaka yaandéka dat anga wandarén, “Méné papukundi wakapuk yate Gotna yé ma kavérékménu. Wa vénanén. Jisas kapérandi mawulé yakwa du wa.”


eng: Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

abt: De bérét wunga wamuké bét wani duna aapa aasa wup yambérén. Wup ye wa anga wambérén, “Dé wa néma du yan. Dat ma waatakungunu.” Naambérén.


abt: De bérét waga wamuké bét wani duna néwepa wup yak. Wup yate dé wak, “Némaan débu yak. Guné dérét guné waataké yo.”


eng: and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

abt: Waandaka yaambéréka bérét waatakundarén, “An béna nyaan dé? Aasana biyaamba méni kiyaandéka wa kéraalén. Béné wunga béné wo? Ye a yénga pulak ye dé méni véto?”


eng: The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

abt: Talimba wani duna méni kiyaan. Ye bulaa a déku méni nakapuk yékun yan. Yi wan wanana wa. Yandéka Judana néma dunyansé wani muséké wunga waké kalik yandarén. Kalik yate wani ménimbo yan duna aapa aasat waandarén.


eng: Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

abt: Yate wani ménimbo yan duwat nakapuk anga wandarén, “Ména méni kururan duké yénga méné wo?” Wunga waatakundaka wandén, “Wa Gotna yémba kundi kwayékwa du nak wa.” Naandén.


eng: Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.

abt: Wunga wandéka de Farisi dunyan ras wa wan, “Wani du yaap yaré nyaaké nana apakundi yamba vékundékwe wa. Yandéka anga vékuséknangwa. Dé Got wandéka yamba yaandékwe wa.” Naandaka de ras wa wan, “Yéku musé yakwa du male wa wani kulé apanjémba yakandékwa.” Naatake vétik mawulé yate kém kutéke kém vétik randarén.


eng: Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”

abt: Kure yéndaka Farisi dunyan dat nakapuk waatakundarén, “Méno, ména méni yénga pulak yandéka dé yékun yak?” Wunga waatakundaka wandén, “Képmaa kéraae sépmany sévaae ménimba kuttake wandéka ye gumba yakwasnyéwutéka wa wuna méni yékun yan.”


eng: It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

abt: Yaap yaré nyaa wa Jisas képmaa kéraae sépmany sévaae wani duna ménimba kutndéka yékun yandén.


eng: They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

abt: Talimba wani ménimbo ye yare yékun yan du Farisi dunyanngé kure yéndarén.


eng: Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”

abt: Wunga wandéka dat wandarén, “Wani du yamba dé yaro?” Wunga waatakundaka wandén, “Wuné yamba ve wa.” Naandén.


eng: He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

abt: Waatakundaka wandén, “Wani du déku yé Jisas wa, képmaa kéraae sépmany sévaae wa wuna ménimba kutndén. Kutte wunat anga wandén, ‘Ma ye Siloammba tékwa gumba méni yakwasnyé.’ Naandéka ye gumba wuna méni yakwasnyéwutéka wuna méni yékun yandéka véwutékwa yékunmba.”


eng: They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”

abt: Wunga wandéka dat wandarén, “Yénga pulak yaménénga dé ména méni yékun yak?”


eng: Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”

abt: Naandaka ras wa wan, “Wani du wa. Yi wan wanana wa.” Naandaka ras wa wan, “Yamba wa. Dé wani du pulak wa. Wan dé nak du wa.” Wunga wandaka dékét wani du wa wan, “Wuné anana. Wuné wa yaambumba rate yéwaaké yaawiran.” Naandén.


eng: Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”

abt: Wani du waambule yaandéka déku gaayé dunyan, talimba wani dé vén dunyansé waak, dat vétake wandarén, “Talimba wani du dé yaambumba rate du dakwat yéwaaké yaawirak kapuk? Wan nak du dé?”


eng: and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

abt: Kuttake dat anga wandén, “Ma ye Siloammba tékwa gumba méni yakwasnyé.” Naandéka ye wani gumba déku méni yakwasnyéndén. Yakwasnyéndéka déku méni nakapuk yékun yandéka vététe nakapuk waambule yaandén. Wani guké wandarén, Siloam, deku kundimba. Nana kundimba anga wa: Wandaka yéndén.


eng: When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,

abt: Wunga watake képmaamba sépmany sévaandén. Sévaae ras képmaale kuséke wani duna ménimba kutndén.


eng: I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

abt: Got wunat wadéka wuné yaak. Yae tiyaadén jébaa bulaa yaké wuné yo. Kukba wani jébaa yaké yapatiké wuné yo.


eng: While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

abt: Wuné ani képmaamba yatéte vérékngwa yaa pulak wa yatéwutékwa. Yatéte du dakwat kulémawulé kwayéwutu de yékunmba vékusék-ngandakwa.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.

abt: Waatakundaka Jisas wa wan, “Wani du yamba yandékwe wa kapéremusé. Déku aasa aapa waak bét yamba ye wa. Dat Got yaké yakwa kulé apanjémba véngunénngé wa déku méni kiyaan.


eng: His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

abt: Vétake Jisasna dunyansé Jisasét anga waatakundarén, “Néma du, wani duna aasa kéraaléka wa déku méni kiyaan. Kandé kapéremusé yandaka dé déku méni kiyaak? Wani du dékét dé dé yak, kapuk déku aasa aapa béré yak?”


eng: As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

abt: Jisas déku dunyansale yaambumba ye ménimbo yan du nak véndarén. Wani du dé aasana biyaamba wunga yandéka wa kéraalén.


eng: Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.

abt: Wunga wandéka de rakarka ye matu kéraandarén dat viyaaké. Yate dé yamba véndakwe wa. Dé Gotna kundi bulndakwa néma gaa yaasékatake kaapat gwaandan.


eng: Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”

abt: Wunga wandaka Jisas anga wandén, “Talimba Abraham yarékapuk sapak taale wuné wa yaran. Yi wan wanana wa. Gunat wa wawutékwa.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”

abt: Naandéka de néma dunyan wa wan, “Késépéri kaakwaré wa Abraham talimba wa yaréndén. Méné késépéri kaa yamba yaréménéngwe wa. Yénga pulak méné vék Abraham?”


eng: Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”

abt: Guna gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamu Abraham jémbaa yawuta sapak véké wa dusék yandén. Ye vétake mawulé tawulé yandén.”


eng: Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.

abt: Naandaka Jisas anga wandén, “Wuné wuna yé kavérékmunaawutu wa wuné baka du wa. Wuna aapa wa dékét wuna yé kavérékngwa. Déké wangunéngwa, ‘Got wan nana néma du wa.’


eng: Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”

abt: Nana gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamu Abraham dé wa kiyaan. Méné méné dat taalékérak kapuk? Gotna yémba kundi kwayétan dunyansé waak de wa kiyaawuran. Ménéké yénga méné wo? Méné kandé?”


eng: Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’

abt: Wunga wandéka de Judana néma dunyan wa wan, “Ména mawulémba kutakwa wa tékwa. Bulaa wunga vékuséknangwa. Abraham dé wa kiyaan. Kiyaandéka Gotna yémba kundi kwayétan dunyansé de wa kiyaawuran. Kiyaandaka méné wa wakwa, ‘Wuna kundi yékunmba vékukwa du dakwa katik kiyaaké daré.’ Kamuké méné wunga wo?

abt: Wuna kundi yékunmba vékukwa du dakwa Gorale apapu yarékandakwa. Yi wan wanana wa. Gunat wa wawutékwa.” Naandén.

eng: Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

abt: Wunga wandéka Juda dunyansé Jisasét waarute anga wandarén, “Somba anga wananén, ‘Méné Samaria du wa. Kutakwa ména mawulémba wa tékwa. Téndéka wa waangété yaménéngwa.’ Naananén. Yi wan wanana wa. Bulaa wunga vékuséknangwa.”


eng: He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

abt: Gotna nyambalésé de akwi déku kundi vékundakwa. Guné Gotna nyambalésé yamba yé wa. Déku kundi yamba vékungunéngwe wa.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

eng: You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

abt: “Guné Satanna nyambalésé wa. Wunga yatéte wa guné guna aapana mawulémba jémbaa yangunéngwa, wandékwa pulak. Talimba du dakwat viyaandén. Dé du dakwat viyaakwa du wa.

eng: Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

abt: Naandaka Jisas wa wan, “Wuné wuna mawulémba yamba yaawutékwe wa. Gorale rawutéka wandéka wa gaayawutén. Got guna aapa ramunaandu, wuné gaayanngé mawulé tawulé yakatik guné.


eng: You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

abt: Guné guna aapa yan pulak wa yangunéngwa.” Naandén. Det wunga wandéka wandarén, “Nana aasa yaambumba yate yamba kéraalékwe wa nané. Nané aapa dé nakurak male, Got wa.”


eng: But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

eng: They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

abt: Jisas wunga wandéka anga wandarén, “Nana aapa Abraham wa.” Naandaka Jisas wa wan, “Guné Abrahamna gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamusé wa. Yi wan wanana wa. Ye yénga pulak dé? Kamuké watake guné dé yan jémbaa kaapuk yo?


eng: I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

abt: Wuné wuna aapa wunat wakwasnyéndén jémbaaké wa gunat wawutékwa. Wawutéka guné guna aapa wan kundi male vékungunéngwa.” Naandén Jisas det.


eng: I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

abt: “Guné Abrahamna gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamusé wa. Wa vésékwuréwutén. Abrahamna kém téte déku kundi yamba kure yaréngunéngwe wa. Yate wuna kundi kalik yate wunat viyaandékngé yangunéngwa.


eng: If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

abt: Wuné Gotna nyaan a. Wuné guné yékun téngunénngé wamunaawutu kapéremusé gunat nakapuk katik kalapus pulakmba taakaké dé. Guné baka yékunmbaa-sékéyak yatékangunéngwa.


eng: A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

abt: Du ras nak duké apa tapa yandaka wa de deku kundi vékute wandakwa pulak jémbaa wa yandakwa. Yate det apa tapa yan duna kémba yamba tépékaandakwe wa. Kalapusmba kwaakwa du pulak wa téndakwa. Apa tapa yan wani duna nyaan male deku kémba tépékaa-kandékwa.


eng: Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

abt: Wunga wandaka Jisas det anga wandén, “Papukundi yamba wawutékwe wa. A wawutékwa kundi an yéku kundi a. Yi wan wanana wa. Du dakwa kapéremusé yandakwa. Yandaka wani kapéremusé wa det kalapus pulakmba kusolakwa. Yandéka wani du dakwa akwi kurkale yamba yaténdakwe wa.


eng: They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

abt: Wunga wandéka wandarén, “Nané Abrahamna gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamusé a. Talimba du nak nanat kalapusmba yamba taakandékwe wa. Nané yékunmba yarépékanangwa. Méné anga waménéngwa, ‘Guné kalapusmba kwaakwa du pulak katik yaréké guné. Guné baka kaapamba yatékwa yéku du pulak yarékangunéngwa.’ Kamuké méné wunga wo?” Naandarén.


eng: You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

abt: Wuna dunyan yaréte guné wuna yéku kundiké vékusék-ngangunéngwa. Vékusékte guné kalapusmba kwaakwa du pulak katik yaréké guné. Guné baka kaapamba yatékwa yéku du pulak wa yarékangunéngwa.” Naandén.


eng: Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

abt: Yandaka Jisas wani Judasat anga wandén, “Guné wuna kundi vékute wuna jémbaa yate wa guné wuna dunyan yaréngunéngwa. Yi wan wanana wa.


eng: As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

abt: Wunga wandéka némaamba du dakwa déké yékunmba vékulakate déku kundiké wandarén, “Yi wan wanana wa.”


eng: He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

eng: Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.

abt: Yandaka Jisas anga wandén, “Kukmba Duna Nyaan wuné kusoré-kangunéngwa. Kusorétake wunéké vésék-ngangunéngwa. Wuné wuna mawulémba kundi nak yamba kwayéwutékwe wa. Wuné wuna aapa wan kundi male wa gunat kwayéwutékwa. Wunga vésék-ngangunéngwa.


eng: They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

abt: Wunga wandéka vékutake de déku aapaké wandénngé yamba vékusékndakwe wa.


eng: I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”

abt: Wunga wandaka wandén, “Guné képmaana du dakwa wa. Wuné yamba wa. Wuné anjoré Gotna gaayémba yare wa gaayawutén.


eng: The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

abt: Naandéka Judana néma dunyansé wa wan, “Yénga pulak dé? Anga wandékwan, dé yékwa gaayét nané katik yéké nané. Dé dékét déku kapmang déku sépat viyaae kiyaaké dé wunga wo kapuk?” Naandarén.


eng: Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come.”

abt: Jisas nakapuk det anga wandén, “Wuné yékawutékwa. Yéwutu guné wunéké waakngangunéngwa. Waakpatiye kiyaangunu, yangunén kapéremusé tépékaa-kandékwa. Guné wuné yékwa gaayét katik yéké guné.”


eng: Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

abt: Jisas det wani kundi kwayéndén Gotna kundi bulndakwa néma gaamba. Yéwaa taakandakwa taalémba téte det wani kundi bulndén. Bulndéka dat yamba kulkiye kure yéndakwe. Déku kiyaanda sapak wayéka yamba yaae wa.


eng: They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

abt: Naandéka anga wandarén, “Ména aapa yamba dé yaro?” Naandaka wandén, “Guné kurkasale yamba vésékngunéngwe wa wuné. Wuna aapaké waak yamba kurkasale vésékngunéngwe. Wuné vésékmunaate, wuna aapaké waak kurkasale vésékngatik guné.” Naandén.


eng: I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

abt: Wani kundi vékute, ani kundiké ma vékulakangunék. Wuné wunékét wunéké wa kundi bulwutékwa. Bulwutéka wuna aapa waak wa wandékwa. Aané nakurak wani kundit male wa watékwa.”


eng: It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.

abt: Guna apakundi anga wandékwa: Du vétik nakurak kundit male wamunaambéru, wani du vétikna kundi wan papukundi yamba wa. Wan yéku kundi wa. Yi wan wanana wa.


eng: Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

abt: Guné wunat sawuré sanda véte wuné vésékngapuk yate wa wunat waarungunéngwa. Bulaa a wuné néma du téwutékwan du dakwa nakét yamba waaruwutékwe wa.


eng: Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.

abt: Naandaka Jisas wa wan, “Wunéké wawutékwa. Yi wan wanana wa. Wuna gwalepange guné yamba vésékngunéngwe wa. Wuné yékwate yawutékwa yaambu waak yamba vésékngunéngwe wa.

eng: Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

abt: Jisas Gotna kundi bulndakwa néma gaamba téte du dakwat kundi bulte nakapuk anga wandén, “Ani képmaamba tékwa du dakwat wawutékwa, de kulémawulé kéraandarénngé.

eng: She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”

abt: Naandéka walén, “Néma du, wunat kotimna du nak yamba yare wa.” Wunga waléka wandén, “Wuné waak nyénat katik kotimngé wuté. Ma yényénu. Sérémaa wani kapérandi musé nakapuk yaké yambak.” Wunga wandéka yélén.]


eng: Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”

abt: Téléka Jisas waarape wani taakwat anga wandén, “Nyéno, wani dunyansé yénga daré yék? Nyénat kotimngé yakwa du nak dé yaro?”


eng: Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

abt: Wunga watake nakapuk kwaatambe képmaamba viyaatakandén.


eng: But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”

abt: Yaténdéka wamba téte nakapuk waatakundaka waatakundaka Jisas waarape det anga wandén, “Amba téngunéngwanmba du nak talimba kapéremusé yakapuk yan du, dé taale yénga vaanéndu matu.”


eng: The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,

abt: Wakwedéka de apa kudiké kutdéngkwa du Parisina du las waga de taakwat nak kure yék. Wani taakwat de vék nak taakwana du wale kapéredi mu yaléka. Kure ye de wadaka lé nyédéba ték.


eng: They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

abt: Téléka de Farisi dunyansé anga wandarén, “Jisas kapérandi kundi ras bulmunaandu dé kotimnganangwa.” Wunga watake Jisasét paapu yaké yandarén. Yate dat wandarén, “Néma du, ani taakwa lé nak taakwana duwale kapéremusé yaléka vénanén. Talimba Moses Gotna nyéngaamba wunga yakwa dakwaké anga viyaatakandén: Wunga yakwa dakwa matut ma viyaangunu. Viyaangunu yénga kiyaandaru. Moses wunga viyaatakandén. Méné yénga méné wo, ani taakwaké?” Naandaka Jisas kwaatambe déku séktambat viyaatakandén képmaamba.


eng: Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.

abt: Waare re ganmbamba waambule daawuliye Gotna kundi bulndakwa néma gaat yéndén. Yéndéka akwi du dakwa déké yéndarén. Yéndaka rate det Gotna kundi yakwasnyéréndén.


eng: but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

abt: [Wani kundi watake akwi dunyansé deku gaat yékéraandarén. Yéndaka Jisas Oliv waandakwa némbat waaréndén.


eng: Everyone went to his own house,

eng: Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

abt: Nikodemus waak dé Farisi du wa. Talimba Jisas véké yéndén.


eng: But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”

eng: Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?

abt: Nana néma dunyan nané Farisi dunyan waak akwi nané déké wanangwa, ‘Wan Got wan du Krais yamba wa. Paapu wa yandékwa.’ Nané wunga wanangwa.


eng: The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

abt: Naandaka de Farisi dunyan wa wan, “Yénga pulak dé? Wan gunat waak paapu dé yak?


eng: The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

abt: Waatakundaka de polis wa wan, “Talimba anga pulak du nak yamba yatéte wunga kundi bulténdékwe wa, ani du bulkwa pulak. An yéku du a.”


eng: The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

abt: Wunga ye polis nakapuk waambule yéndarén. Farisi dunyan béré Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa duna néma dunyanséké yéndaka det anga waatakundarén, “Yénga pulak ye guné dé yamba kulkiye kure yaangunéngwe?”


eng: Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

abt: Rate de ras Jisas kulkiye kure kalapusmba taakaké mawulé yandarén. Ye du nak yamba kure wa dé.


eng: So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

abt: Wunga kundi vékutake késmawulé nakmawulé vékute du dakwa kutéke kém vétik randarén.


eng: Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

abt: Talimba Gotna nyéngaamba déké anga viyaatakandarén: Got wan du Krais Devitna kémba wa téndékwa. Dé talimba Devit yatan gaayé Betlehemmba wa yaalakandékwa. Wunga viyaatakandarén.” Naandarén.


eng: Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

abt: Naandaka ras wa wan, “Yamba wa. Got wan du Krais wa.” Yandaka ras wa wan, “Yamba wa. Wan Galili du wa. Got wan du Krais Galilimba katik yaaké dé.


eng: Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

abt: Du dakwa ras wani kundi vékutake anga wandarén, “An Gotna yémba kundi kwayékwa du a. Kaavérénangwa du wa. Yi wan wanana wa.”


eng: But 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.

abt: Déké yékunmba vékulakakwa du dakwana mawulémba Gotna Yaamambi wulaae ramuké wa Jisas wani kundi kwayéndén. Gotna Yaamambi randu de kulémawulé kéraae yékunmba tépékaakandakwa.

eng: The 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?

abt: Wunga wandéka Judana néma dunyan dekét deku kapmang bulte anga wandarén, “Dé yénga yéndu déké waakpatiké nané? Grik kantrimba tékwa nana tambék Judaséké yéké dé? Ye Grik du dakwat déku jémbaaké yakwasnyéké dé det kapuk?

abt: Yéwutu guné wunéké waake waake yapati-kangunéngwa. Yatake wuné rakwa gaayét katik yéké guné.”


eng: Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

abt: Ye saambakndaka Jisas anga wandén, “Wuné gunale yaré yaré naae wuné wani wandéka gaayan duké nakapuk waambule yékawutékwa.


eng: The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

abt: Jisaské wunga kundi bulndaka de Farisi dunyan wa vékwan. Vékutake de waak Gotna gaamba jémbaa yakwa duna néma dunyan waak polisét watakandaka yéndarén, Jisas kulkiye kure ye kalapusmba taakaké.


eng: But 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?”

abt: Yandaka némaamba du dakwa déké yékunmba vékulakate anga wandarén, “Got wan du Krais talimba vékapuk yananén kulé apanjémba yandu, ani du yakwa jémbaat taalékéraké dé? Yamba yé wa. Ani du an Got wan du Krais a. Naate wanangwa.” Naandarén.


eng: They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

abt: Wunga wandéka dé kulkiye kure yékwate yandarén. Ye dé yamba kutndakwe. Dé kiyaaké yandékwa nyaa wayéka yamba yaae wa.


eng: I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”

abt: Wuné dé véwutén wa. Wuné dale rawutéka wa wandéka yaawutén.” Naandén.


eng: Jesus 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.

abt: Wunga wandaka Jisas Gotna kundi bulndakwa néma gaamba téte du dakwat kundi kwayéténdén. Kwayéte anga wandén, “Guné wunat vésékte wuna gwalepangeké wa vékusék-ngunéngwa.

abt: Ma véku. Dé akwi duna ménimba téte kundi kwayéndékwa. Kwayéndéka néma du dat véte kundi nak yamba wandakwe wa.


eng: Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

eng: Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.

abt: Naandaka Jisas det anga wandén, “Yaap yaré nyaamba kulé apanjémba nak yawutéka vétake akwi vatvat naate vékulaka vékulaka naangunén.


eng: Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

abt: Déknyényba Moses dé du nyaanna sépé sékugunuké yakwatnyék. Néwaa kéraalu nyaa nak taaba sékét nak taababa kayék kupuk yédu du nyaanna sépé sékugunuké dé yakwatnyék. “Wani mu Moses kaapuk batnyé yadén. Déku képmawaara de wani mu batnyé yak.

eng: 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?

abt: Guné Mosesna kudi miték véknwute guné yaap ra nyaa guna du nyaanna sépé séku. Yaap ra nyaa wuné dut nak kutkalé yak. Yawurék samuké guné wunat rékaréka yo?

abt: Wunga wandéka wandarén, “Ména mawulémba kutakwa wa tékwa. Téndéka wa waangété yaménéngwa. Kandé ménat viyaandékngwate yo?”


eng: Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”

eng: 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.

abt: Nak du dakwa deku yé kavérék-ndarénngé wate wa du ras deku mawulémba vékulakate kundi kwayéndakwa. Wuné wunga yamba yawutékwe wa. Wuné aapa Got wandéka wa yaawutén.

eng: 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.

abt: Guné déku kundi vékuké mawulé ye kwayéwutékwa kundi kurkale vékukangunéngwa. Vékwe anga vékusék-ngangunéngwa. Gotna kundi wa kwayéwutékwa. Wuna mawulémba vékulakate yamba wawutékwe wa. Wunga vékusék-ngangunéngwa.

abt: Wunga wandaka Jisas det wandén, “Gunat kwayéwutékwa kundi wan wuna kundi yamba yé wa. Wan wunat wandéka yaawutén du Gotna kundi wa.


eng: The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

abt: Yaténdéka Judana néma dunyan vékulaka vékulaka naate anga wandarén, “Yénga pulak ye dé Gotna jémbaaké vékusékéyakék? Nana du dat yamba yakwasnyéndakwe wa.”

abt: Wani paatna sapak nyéndé nyaandémba téndéka Jisas Gotna kundi bulndakwa néma gaamba wulaae du dakwat kundi kwayéténdén.


eng: There 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.”

abt: Naandaka du dakwa dekét deku kapmang bulndarén. Bulte, ras wa wan, “Wa kapérandi musé yakwa du wa. Du dakwat paapu wa yandékwa.” Naandaka ras wa wan, “Yamba wa. Wa yéku du wa.”

abt: Waga wate némaan du véknwumuké kélik yate némaanba kaapuk buldan.


eng: The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”

abt: Wani néma nyaa yandéka Judana néma dunyan Jisaské waakte anga wandarén, “Ani du yamba dé ro?”


eng: Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

abt: Jisas wunga wandéka yéndaka dé Galilimba yarépékandén.


eng: You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”

abt: Gunékét Jerusalemét ye guné véké ya wani néma nyaa yakwate yandakwa musé. Wuné katik yéké wuté. Wuné yéna nyaa yamba yaae wa, wayéka.”


eng: The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

abt: Wunga wandaka Jisas det anga wandén, “Apapu nyaa wa guna nyaa wa, Judiat yémuké. Wuné yéna nyaa wayéka yamba yaae wa.


eng: His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

abt: Wani sapak de Jisasna waayékanje dat waarute anga wandarén, “Ani taalé ma yaasékatake yéménu Judiat. Wani taalat yéménéngét ména kundi vékuké mawulé ye de wamba tékwa du dakwa yaménéngwa nakpulak jémbaa vékandakwa.


eng: For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”

abt: Méné néma du téké mawulé yamunaae, du dakwana ménimba téte ma jémbaa yaménék. Néma du téké yamunaae ye katik paakwe jémbaa yaké méné. Judiat ye wani jémbaa ma yaménék.”

eng: Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

abt: Nané Judasé nana néma nyaa nak yaakwate yandéka, wani sapak nané mawulé tawulé yate nana gaa yaasékatake ye Jerusalemmba bare gaamba yarénangwa.


eng: After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

abt: Nyaa ras kukmba Jisas Galili distrikmba yatéte déku jémbaa yandén. Judana néma dunyan de Judia distrikmba yaréte Jisas viyaaké wate yaréndarén. Wunga yandaka deku taalémba yamba yaréndékwe wa. Galilimba yaréndén.

abt: Wunga wandéka Jisas det anga wandén, “Wuné wawutéka wa guné yaae wunale yaténgunéngwa. Yaténgunénga guna du nak wa Satanna jémbaamba yétékwa.”


eng: We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

abt: Ménéké yékunmba vékulakanangwa. Wa véséknanén. Méné Gorale re wa gaayaménén. Got wandéka wa yaaménén. Méné dékét déku yéku du wa.” Naandén Simon Pita.


eng: Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

abt: Wunga waatakundéka Saimon Pita wa wan, “Néman Du, méné yaasékatake ye kandéké yéké nané? Méné male wa nanat yéku kundi wakwa, nané kulémawulé kéraae apapu yékunmba ténanénngé. Méné nakurak wa wani kundi vékusékménéngwa.


eng: Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”

abt: Téndaka Jisas det anga wandén, “Guné yénga pulak dé? Guné wuné yaasékatake yékwate guné yo?”


eng: At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.

abt: Wunga wandéka némaamba dunyan dé yaasékatake yéndarén. Yéndaka déku dunyan tambavétik maanmba kaayék vétik (12) wunga téndarén.


eng: He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”

abt: Guné las wunéké kaapuk miték sanévéknwugunékwa. Taknaba wuné wani muké kéga wak: Du taakwa deku mawuléba sanévéknwute, de wunéké yae wuna kudi véknwumarék yaké de yo.

eng: It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

abt: Gotna Yaamambi dékét déku kapmang kulémawulé kwayéndu du dakwa kulémawulé kéraae de apapu yékunmba tépékaa-kandakwa. Baka du katik kwayéké dé.

abt: Wuné Duna Nyaan anjorémba wa gaayawutén. Nakapuk waambule waaréwutu vétake guné wanngé waak kalik yakangunéngwa.


eng: But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?

abt: Naandaka Jisas deku mawuléké vékuséke det anga waatakundén, “Wuna kundi kalik guné yo?


eng: He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

abt: Dé wani kundi Kaperneammba wa wandén. Gotna kundi bulndakwa gaamba téte wa wani kundi wandén, dé kiyaandu de kulémawulé kéraamuké.


eng: This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

eng: For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

abt: Wuna sépé nakpulak yéku kakému wa. Wuna nyéki nakpulak yéku kulak wa. Yi wan wanana wa.


eng: He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

eng: Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves.

abt: Naandaka Jisas det wandén, “Wuna kundi papukundi yamba wa. An yéku kundi a. Yi wan wanana wa. Ani kundi ma vékusék naangunu. Wuné Duna Nyaan. Wuna sépé wuna nyéki kakapuk yamunaae guné katik yékunmba tépékaaké guné.


eng: The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

abt: Judana néma dunyan wani kundi vékutake rakarka ye dekét deku kapmang waarute anga wandarén, “Wan yénga kundi dé wo? Yénga pulak déku sépé tiyaandu kaké nané?”


eng: I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

abt: Wuné wani bret pulak wa. Wuné akwi du dakwat yékun yakawutékwa. Wuné Gotna gaayémba wa gaayawutén. Ani képmaamba tékwa du dakwat yékun yaké wa gaayawutén. Det yékun yaké wuna sépé kwayékawutékwa. Kwayéwutu de wani bret kamunaae wa apapu apapu yékunmba tékandakwa.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.

eng: Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.

eng: It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learned, comes to me.

abt: Talimba Gotna yémba kundi kwayétan du Gotna nyéngaamba anga viyaatakandarén, ‘Got akwi du dakwat déku jémbaaké yakwasnyé-kandékwa.’ Wunga viyaatakandarén. Du dakwa Gotna kundi vékwe déku jémbaaké vékusékmunaae, wa wunéké yaakandakwa.


eng: Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.

abt: Wunga wandaka Jisas det anga wandén, “Guné wuna kundi kalik yate gunékét guna kapmang wunga bulmbak.


eng: They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’”

abt: Naandéka kalik yate wandarén, “Gotna gaayémba yamba gaayandékwe wa. Dé Josepna nyaan wa. Déku yé Jisas wa. Déku aasa aapa wa vénanén. Wa nana gaayé du wa. Dé anga wandékwa, ‘Gotna gaayémba gaayawutén.’ Naandékwa. Kamuké dé wunga wo? Wa paapu wa yandékwa.” Naandarén.


eng: The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”

abt: Jisas wunga wandéka Judana néma dunyan wani kundi vékutake wani kundi kalik yandarén. Jisas anga wandén, “Wuné Gotna gaayémba wa gaayawutén, du dakwat yékun yawutu de yékunmba téndarénngé.”


eng: This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

abt: Wunat véte wunéké yékunmba vékulakate wuna kundiké, ‘Yi wan wanana wa,’ naakwa apu akwi kulémawulé kéraae apapu apapu yékunmba yatékandakwa. Wani nyaa du dakwa wawutu de nakapuk taamale waarapkandakwa. Wuna aapa wunga mawulé yandékwa.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.

abt: Wunéké yaakwa du dakwaké yékunmba vékawutékwa. Yawutu wuna du dakwa tékandakwa. Nak katik lambiyakngé dé.

abt: Gunat wa wawutén, ‘Guné kulé apanjémba yawutéka véte yamba yékunmba vékulakangunéngwe wa.’ Naawutén.


eng: Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

abt: Naandaka Jisas det anga wandén, “Wani bretké bulte wa wunékét wunéké wa wawutékwa. Guné wuna kundi kurkale vékute guné katik kaandéké kiyaaké guné. Guné yékunmba yarékangunéngwa. Wunéké yékunmba vékulake guné kulakngé katik kiyaaké guné. Wa kulémawulé kéraae yékunmba yatékangunéngwa.


eng: For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”

eng: Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

abt: Naandaka det anga wandén Jisas, “Talimba Moses wani bret yamba kwayéndékwe wa. Wuna aapa male wa wani bret kwayén. Bulaa gunat Gotna gaayémba gaayan bret wa kwayéndékwa.


eng: They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do?

abt: Waga wadéka de wak, “Samu apa jébaa yaménu véte naané ménéké waga sanévéknwuké naané yo? Samu yaké méné yo?


eng: Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”

eng: Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

abt: Wunga waatakundaka wandén, “Wunéké yékunmba vékulakangunénngé wa Got mawulé yandékwa. Guna mawulémba anga ma wangunék, ‘Jisas wan néma du wa. Got wandéka wa gaayandén. Yi wan wanana wa.’ Wunga wate wa Gotna jémbaa yakangunéngwa.” Naandén.


eng: They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”

abt: Naandéka wandarén, “Kamu ye Gotna jémbaa yaké nané?” Naandarén.


eng: Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”

abt: “Guné jémbaa yate bari késkwate yakwa kakémuké vékulakaké yambak. Guné jémbaa yate nak pulak kakémuké ma vékulakangunék. Wani kakému rapéka-kandékwa.

eng: Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

abt: Wunga waatakundaka det wandén, “Ma véku. Gunat wawutékwa. Bret kangunénga wa biyaa yan. Yandéka wa wunéké waakngunéngwa, bret ras waak kwayéwuténngé. Kulé apanjémba yawutéka véngunénngé yamba vékulakangunéngwe wa. Wawutékwa kundi wan yéku kundi wa. Yi wan wanana wa.


eng: When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”

abt: Ye saambake Jisas vétake dat anga waatakundarén, “Néma du, anga yani sapak méné yaak?”


eng: However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

abt: Waga wate de Jisaské sékalpatik. Sékalpatidaka Taibiriasba de bot las wawo yaak. Yae de nalé rate béret kadan taalé tékwaba de rak. Nalé Jisas béret kérae Gorét wakwetakne dé deké kwayék, wani taaléba.


eng: When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

abt: Jisas déku dunyansale wani taalémba yarékapuk yandaka du dakwa vépatiktake, botmba waare néma gu kwaawu nak sakwat yéndarén. Jisaské waake véké wa Kaperneamét yéndarén.


abt: Jisas déku du wawo wani taaléba ramarék yadaka de du taakwa vépatitakne, wani botba waare de kwawu nak saknwat yék, Kapaneamét. Jisaské sékale véké nae de yék.


eng: On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.

abt: Yé gétndéka némaamba du dakwa néma gu kwaawu nak sakumba yarépékandarén. Yaréte deku mawulémba anga wandarén, “Nalé bot nakurak wa tan. Téndéka Jisasna dunyan wani botmba wa waare yéndarén. Yéndaka Jisas dele yamba waare yéndékwe wa. Dé amba ka yaréna?”


eng: They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

abt: Naandéka mawulé tawulé yandarén. Yandaka botmba waaréndén. Waaréndéka botmba ye wani gaayémba bari saambakndarén.


eng: But he said to them, “It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

abt: Wup yandaka det wandén, “An wuné a yaatékwa. Guné wup yaké yambak.”


eng: When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.

abt: Waaréndéka bot yéndénngé kéraaléwiye yéndarén. Wunga ye kulémba yéndarén (6 kilomita pulak). Ye véndarén Jisas gutakumba yaaténdéka. Vétake wup yandarén.


eng: The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.

abt: Yandéka gaan yandéka yéndarén. Yéréndaka néma wimut kutndéka gu némaamba wimbalakute waaran.


eng: They entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

abt: Garabu yadéka naané Jisasna du dawulik kwawu maalat. Dawuliye botba waare naané Kapaneamét yéké mawulé yak. Yanaka Jisas naanéké kaapuk yaadén.


eng: When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.”

abt: Yandaka Jisas yan kulé apanjémba vétake wani du dakwa wa wan, “Gotna yémba kundi bulkwa du nak yaakandékwa nana képmaat. Déké kaavénangwa. Wani kaavénangwa du, wan Jisas wa. Yi wan wanana wa.”


eng: So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

abt: Naandéka de du dakwa kandaka biyaa yandéka taakandarén bret kéraae kémbi tambavétik maanmba kaayék vétik (12) waandandarén.


eng: When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.”

abt: Kwayéndéka ke biyaa yawuréndaka Jisas déku dunyansat anga wandén, “Kandaka biyaa yandéka taakandakwa kakému ma kéraangunu. Kéraakapuk yangunu ras baka ka kapére yana.”


eng: Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.

abt: Rakésndaka Jisas wani bret kéraae Gorét anga wandén, “Yékun a tiyaaménén bret. Yékun wa.” Naatake du dakwat muni waate kwayéndéka kandarén. Bret yandén pulak gukwami vétik waak wungat male yandén. Mawulé yandarén pulak kwayéndén.


eng: Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

abt: Naandéka det anga wandén, “Ma wa, wani du dakwa rakésndaru.” Naandéka wandaka waaratakumba rakésndarén. Némaamba du dakwa wa. (Dunyan 5,000)


eng: “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”

abt: Te anga wandén, “Nyaan nak amba téndékwa. Wani dunyanngu nyaan makalkéri bret taambak (5), gumba kutndarén gukwami vétik wunga wa kure téndékwa. Wani makalkéri bret gukwami vétik yénga pulak kwayéké nané, némaamba du dakwamba?”


eng: One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,

abt: Naandéka Jisasna du nak Andru wamba téndén. Wani du wan dé Saimon Pitana waayéka wa.


eng: Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.”

abt: Vékusékte wunga wandéka dé Filip wa wan dat, “Néma (200) yéwaat kakému kéraamunaananu ani du dakwa wa ayélap ayélap a kakandakwa.”


eng: Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?”

abt: Rate dé Jisas vék wupmalemu du taakwa déké yaadaka. Vétakne dé Pilipmét wak, “Kadému yaba kérae wani du taakwaké kwayéno kaké de yo?”


eng: He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

abt: Filipna mawulé yakwe véké wa wunga wandén. Jisas dékét yaké yandékwa musé wa vékusékndén.


eng: A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.

abt: Déknyényba wupmalemu du taakwa de vék Jisas wupmalemu apa jébaa yadéka. Yadéka de sépékwaapa kapére yan du taakwa yéknwun yak. Vétakne de déku kukba yék.


eng: Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.

abt: Jisasna dunyan dale némbumba nak waare sékét rakésndarén.

abt: Pasova waanangwa néma nyaa yaaké yandéka wa wamba randarén.


abt: Pasova waanakwa apakélé yaa sérakne kanaran tulé yaaké yadéka naané waba rak.


eng: After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.

abt: Wani kundi kwayétake Jisas néma gu kwaawu nak aangé sakwat yéndén. Wani néma gu kwaawuna yé Galili wa. Nak yé Taiberias wa. Déku dunyansé dale sékét yéndarén.


eng: But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

abt: Guné viyaandén kundi vékukapuk yate yénga pulak wuna kundi yékunmba vékuké guné? Wuna kundi yékunmba vékuké wa yapati-ngunéngwa.” Naandén Jisas Judana néma dunyansat.


eng: For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.

abt: Guné Moses viyaatakan kundi vékumunaate wuna kundi vékukatik guné.


eng: “Don’t think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

abt: “Guna mawuléké anga waké yambak, ‘Jisas yananén kapérandi muséké Gorét wate nanat kotim-ngandékwa.’ Wunga wambak. Guné nana gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamu Moseské anga wangunéngwa, ‘Dé nanat yékun yakandékwa.’ Guné wunga wate ani kundi ma vékungunu. Moses yangunén kapérandi muséké Gorét wate gunat wa kotim-ngandékwa. Talimba wunéké Moses wa viyaatakandén.


eng: How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?

abt: Du dakwa guna yé kavérék-ndarénngé wate wa yangunéngwa. Got guna yé kavérékmuké kalik yangunéngwa. Wunga yate wunéké yénga pulak yékunmba vékulakaké guné?


eng: I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

abt: Wuna aapa Got wandéka yaae wa déku jémbaa yawutékwa. Yawutéka guné wuna kundi yamba vékungunéngwe wa. Du nak déku kapmang yaae dékét déku jémbaa yamunaandu déku kundi vékukangunéngwa.


eng: But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.

abt: Guna mawulé wa vésékéyak-wutékwa. Guné Gorké yamba mawulé yangunéngwe wa.


eng: I don’t receive glory from men.

abt: “Du dakwa wuna yé kavérékmuké kalik yawutékwa.


eng: Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.

abt: Kulémawulé kéraae kurkale yatépékaké mawulé yangunéngwa. Wunéké yaae wuna kundi vékumunaangunu wuné wawutu wa kulémawulé kéraae kurkale yatépéka-kangunéngwa. Wuna kundi vékumuké kalik yangunéngwa.


eng: “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.

abt: Guné kulémawulé kéraae kurkale yatépékamuké vékulakate, guné Gotna nyéngaamba viyaatakandarén kundiké waakngunéngwa. Wani kundi viyaatakan dunyansé waak wunéké wa wandarén.


eng: You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.

abt: Got wandéka wa a yaawutén. Guné wunéké yékunmba vékulakakapuk yangunénga déku kundi guna mawulémba yamba randékwe wa.


eng: The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

abt: Wuna aapa wandéka yaawutéka dé waak wunéké wandén. Guné déku kundi yamba vékungunéngwe wa. Déku saawi yamba véngunéngwe wa.


eng: But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

abt: “Jon wunéké kundi kwayéndéka wunéké wa vékusékngunéngwa. Wuna néma jémbaa wa déku kundit taalékéran. Wuna aapa yawuténngé tiyaandén jémbaa a yawutékwa. Wani jémbaa yawutéka ras du dakwa véte anga wandakwa, ‘Déku aapa Got wandéka wa yaandén. Wunga véte wanangwa.’ Naandakwa.


eng: He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

abt: Yaa vérékte kaaléndéka wa du dakwa kurkale véndakwa. Jon yaa pulak vérékte kwaaré vétik kupukngé wa yatéte yéku jémbaa yandéka guné véte mawulé tawulé yangunén.


eng: But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

abt: Wuné képmaana duna kundiké yamba vékulakawutékwe wa. Yate Got gunat yékun ye waambule guné kéraandénngé wate wa Jonna kundiké wawutékwa.


eng: You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

abt: “Talimba Jonét kundi wasatingunén. Wangunénga dé gunat wunéké kundi kwayéndén. Kwayéndén kundi wan papukundi yamba wa. Wan yéku kundi wa. Yi wan wanana wa.


eng: It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

abt: Wuna aapa waak wuna jémbaaké wa wandékwa. Wandéka anga vékusék-wutékwa. Wuna jémbaaké wandékwa kundi wan papukundi yamba wa. Wan yéku kundi wa. Yi wan wanana wa.


eng: “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.

abt: “Wuné nakurak wuna kapmang wuna jémbaaké wamunaawutu anga wakangunéngwa, ‘Déku kundi papukundi wa.’ Naate guné wunéké katik yékunmba vékulakaké guné.


eng: I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

abt: Jisas wunga watake Judana néma dunyansat nakapuk anga wandén, “Wuné baka wuna mawulémba wani jémbaa katik yaké wuté. Wunat wandéka yaawutén duna kundi vékute wa du dakwa yandarén kapérandi muséké wawutékwa. Wani kundi wuna mawulémba vékulakate yamba wawutékwe wa. Wuna jémbaaké wawutékwa kundi wan yéku kundi wa. Yi wan wanana wa.


eng: and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

abt: Vékwe taamale waarape yaalakandakwa. Yéku musé yatan du dakwa taamale waarape yékunmba yatékandakwa apapu apapu. Kapéremusé yan du dakwa taamale waarapndaru, wuné néma du rate det wate yandarén kapéremusé waambule yakata-kawutékwa. Yi wan wanana wa. Gunat wa wawutékwa.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

abt: Wani muséké vat naate vékulaka vékulaka naaké yambak. A yaakwate yakwa sapak kiyaan du dakwa rémndarén kwaawumba kwaate wuna kundi vékukandakwa.


eng: He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

abt: Wuné Duna Nyaan a. Got wunat mayé apa tiyaandénngé sérémaa wuné kot vékukwa néma du rate, akwi du dakwana kundi vékute wakawutékwa.


eng: Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live.

abt: Wunga watake Jisas anga wandén, “Gunat a wawutékwa. Gotna kundi vékukapuk yakwa du dakwa yéku mawulé yamba vékundakwe wa. Yate de kiyangamba pulak wa yaténdakwa. Yatéte wuna kundi vékumunaae wa kulémawulé kéraae yékunmba yatépéka-kandakwa. Wuna kundi vékundara sapak a yaakwa.
