Jesus Teaches at the Feast
7 After these things Jesus (A)was walking in Galilee, for He was unwilling to walk in Judea because (B)the Jews (C)were seeking to kill Him. 2 Now the feast of the Jews, (D)the Feast of Booths, was near. 3 So His (E)brothers said to Him, “Move on from here and go into Judea, so that Your (F)disciples also may see Your works which You are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret [a]when he himself is striving to be known publicly. If You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5 For not even His (G)brothers believed in Him. 6 So Jesus *said to them, “(H)My time is not yet here, but your time is always ready. 7 (I)The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify about it, that (J)its deeds are evil. 8 Go up to the feast yourselves; I am not going up to this feast, because (K)My time has not yet fully arrived.” 9 Now having said these things to them, He stayed in Galilee.
10 But when His (L)brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as though in secret. 11 (M)So the Jews (N)were looking for Him at the feast and saying, “Where is He?” 12 And there was a great deal of talk about Him in secret among the crowds: (O)some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He is misleading the people.” 13 However, no one was speaking openly about Him, for (P)fear of [b]the Jews.
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple area, and began to (Q)teach. 15 (R)The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this Man (S)become learned, not having been educated?” 16 So Jesus answered them and said, “(T)My teaching is not My own, but His who sent Me. 17 (U)If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is of God, or I am speaking from Myself. 18 The one who speaks from himself (V)seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
19 “(W)Did Moses not give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why are you (X)seeking to kill Me?” 20 The crowd answered, “(Y)You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill You?” 21 Jesus answered them, “I did (Z)one [c]deed, and you all are astonished. 22 For this reason (AA)Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from (AB)the fathers), and even on a Sabbath you circumcise a man. 23 (AC)If a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry at Me because I made an entire man well on a Sabbath? 24 Do not (AD)judge by the outward appearance, but judge [d]with righteous judgment.”
25 So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this Man not the one whom they are seeking to kill? 26 And yet look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. (AE)The rulers do not really know that this is the [e]Christ, do they? 27 However, (AF)we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.” 28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple, (AG)teaching and saying, “(AH)You both know Me and you know where I am from; and (AI)I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. 29 (AJ)I do know Him, because (AK)I am from Him, and (AL)He sent Me.” 30 So they (AM)were seeking to arrest Him; and yet no one laid a hand on Him, because His (AN)hour had not yet come. 31 But (AO)many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, “(AP)When the [f]Christ comes, He will not perform more [g](AQ)signs than those which this man has done, will He?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent (AR)officers to (AS)arrest Him. 33 Therefore Jesus said, “(AT)For a little while longer I am going to be with you, and then (AU)I am going to Him who sent Me. 34 (AV)You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.” 35 (AW)The Jews then said to one another, “(AX)Where does this Man intend to go that we will not find Him? He does not intend to go to (AY)the Dispersion among (AZ)the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, does He? 36 What is this statement that He said, ‘(BA)You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”
37 Now on (BB)the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “(BC)If anyone is thirsty, [h]let him come to Me and drink. 38 The one who believes in Me, (BD)as the Scripture said, ‘[i]From his innermost being will flow rivers of (BE)living water.’” 39 But this He said (BF)in reference to the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for (BG)the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet (BH)glorified.
People’s Division over Jesus
40 Some of the people therefore, after they heard these words, were saying, “This truly is (BI)the Prophet.” 41 Others were saying, “This is the [j]Christ.” But others were saying, “(BJ)Surely the [k]Christ is not coming from Galilee, is He? 42 Has the Scripture not said that the Christ comes from (BK)the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” 43 So (BL)a dissension occurred in the crowd because of Him. 44 And (BM)some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
45 The (BN)officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?” 46 The (BO)officers answered, “(BP)Never has a man spoken in this way!” 47 The Pharisees then replied to them, “(BQ)You have not been led astray too, have you? 48 (BR)Not one of (BS)the rulers or Pharisees has believed in Him, has he? 49 But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed!” 50 (BT)Nicodemus (the one who came to Him before, being one of them) *said to them, 51 “(BU)Our Law does not judge the person unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?” 52 They answered and said to him, “(BV)You are not from Galilee as well, are you? Examine the Scriptures, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee.” 53 [[[l]And everyone went to his home.

Ciise Iyo Walaalihiis
7 Waxyaalahaas dabadeed Ciise ayaa Galili ku dhex wareegay, waayo, ma u doonaynin inuu Yahuudiya ku wareego, maxaa yeelay, Yuhuuddu waxay doonayeen inay dilaan. 2 Iiddii Yuhuudda oo tii waababka ahayd way dhowayd. 3 Walaalihiis haddaba waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Halkan ka bax oo Yahuudiya tag in xertaadiina aragto shuqullada aad samaynaysid. 4 Ma jiro nin si qarsoon wax u sameeyaa markuu doonayo in bayaan loo ogaado. Haddaad waxyaalahan samayso, dunida isu muuji. 5 Xataa walaalihiis ma ay rumaysan isaga. 6 Sidaa aawadeed Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi iyaga, Wakhtigaygu weli ma iman, laakiin wakhtigiinnu goor walba wuu joogaa. 7 Dunidu idinma nebcaan karto, anigase way i neceb tahay, waayo, waxaan ka marag furaa in shuqulladeedu ay shar yihiin. 8 Idinku iidda u kaca, anigu iiddan weli u kici maayo, waayo, wakhtigaygu weli ma dhammaan. 9 Markuu waxyaalahaas iyagii ku yidhi, weli wuxuu sii joogay Galili.
10 Markii walaalihiis iiddii u kaceen, ayuu isaguna markaas xaggeeda u kacay, bayaan kuma tegin, laakiin sidii mid isqarinaya buu u tegey. 11 Yuhuuddu haddaba iidday ka dooneen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Xaggee buu joogaa? 12 Dadkii badnaa aad bay uga gunuuneceen isaga, qaarkood waxay yidhaahdeen, Waa nin wanaagsan; qaar kalena waxay yidhaahdeen, Sidaas ma aha, laakiin dadkii badnaa ayuu khiyaaneeyaa. 13 Haddaba ninna bayaan isaga ugama hadlin cabsiday ka cabsanayeen Yuhuudda aawadeed.
Ciise Wuxuu Dadkii Baray Inuu Ilaah Ka Yimid
14 Laakiin markay ahayd iidda dhexdeeda Ciise wuxuu u kacay macbudka, wax ayuuna ku baray. 15 Sidaa aawadeed Yuhuuddii ayaa la yaabtay iyagoo leh, Sidee baa kanu qorniinka u yaqaan isagoo aan weligiis baran? 16 Ciise ayaa haddaba u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Waxbariddaydu tayda ma aha, laakiin waxaa leh kan i soo diray. 17 Haddii nin doonayo inuu doonistii Ilaah sameeyo, wuu garan doonaa waxbaridda, inay tahay tii Ilaah amase aan qudhaydu iska hadlayo. 18 Kan qudhiisu iska hadlaa, ammaantiisuu doonaa, laakiin kan doona ammaanta kan soo diray, kaasaa run ah, oo xaqdarro kuma jirto. 19 Miyaan Muuse sharciga idin siin? Midkiinnana sharciga ma yeelo. Maxaad u doonaysaan inaad i dishaan? 20 Dadkii badnaa waxay ugu jawaabeen, Jinni baad qabtaa. Yaa doonaya inuu ku dilo? 21 Ciise ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Shuqul keliya ayaan sameeyey, kulligiinna waad la yaabteen. 22 Sidaa aawadeed Muuse wuxuu idin siiyey gudniinta (kamana iman Muuse, waxayse ka timid awowayaashii); idinku sabtida ayaad nin guddaan. 23 Haddii sabtida nin la gudo, si aan sharciga Muuse u jabin, ma waxaad iigu cadhoonaysaan nin aan dhammaantiis sabtidii bogsiiyey? 24 Aragtida waxba ha ku xukumina, laakiin ku xukuma xukunka xaqa ah.
25 Sidaa aawadeed qaar ka mid ah kuwa Yeruusaalem waxay yidhaahdeen, Kanu miyaanu ahayn kay doonayaan inay dilaan? 26 Bal fiiriya, bayaan buu u hadlaa, waxbase kuma yidhaahdaan. Taliyayaashu runtii ma og yihiin inuu kanu yahay Masiixa? 27 Laakiin kani meeshuu ka yimid waannu og nahay, markuuse Masiixu yimaado, ninna garan maayo meeshuu ka imanayo.
28 Ciise haddaba macbudkuu ka dhex qayliyey isagoo wax baraya oo leh, Waad i taqaanniin, waana og tihiin meeshaan ka imid; anigu qudhayda kuma aan iman, laakiin kii i soo diray waa run, kan aydnaan garanaynin. 29 Anigu waa aqaan, waayo, isagaan ka imid, wuuna i soo diray.
30 Sidaa aawadeed waxay dooneen inay qabtaan, laakiin ninna faro ma uu saarin, waayo, saacaddiisii weli ma iman. 31 Laakiin qaar badan oo dadkii ahi way rumaysteen, waxayna yidhaahdeen, Masiixu markuu yimaado miyuu samayn doonaa calaamooyin ka badan kuwii kanu sameeyey?
32 Farrisiintu way maqleen dadkii badnaa oo ka gunuunacayay waxaas ku saabsanaa isaga, wadaaddadii sarena iyo Farrisiintii waxay u direen saraakiil inay soo qabtaan isaga. 33 Ciise haddaba wuxuu ku yidhi, Weli in yar baan idinla joogayaa, markaasaan u tegayaa kii i soo diray. 34 Waad i doondooni doontaan, imana heli doontaan, meeshaan joogona iman kari maysaan. 35 Sidaa aawadeed Yuhuuddu waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Kanu xaggee buu tegi doonaa oo aynaan ka heli doonin? Ma wuxuu u tegi doonaa kuwa ku kala firidhsan dadka Gariigta ah, oo wax bari doonaa dadka Gariigta ah? 36 Waa maxay hadalkan uu yidhi? Waad i doondooni doontaan, imana heli doontaan, meeshaan joogona ma iman kari doontaan.
Biyaha Nool
37 Maalintii u dambaysay, oo ahayd maalintii weynayd ee iidda, Ciise ayaa istaagay oo qayliyey isagoo leh, Haddii qof uun harraado, ha ii yimaado, hana cabbo. 38 Kii i rumaysta, calooshiisa waxaa ka duuli doona webiyo biyaha nool ah, sida Qorniinku u yidhi. 39 Waxaas ayuu kaga hadlay Ruuxa oo ay kuwii isaga rumaystay heli doonaan, waayo, Ruuxa weli lama bixin, maxaa yeelay, Ciise weli ma ammaanmin.
40 Sidaa aawadeed dadkii badnaa qaarkood, goortay hadalladaas maqleen, waxay yidhaahdeen, Runtii kanu waa nebigii. 41 Qaar kalena waxay yidhaahdeen, Kanu waa Masiixii. Qaarse waxay yidhaahdeen, Laakiin Masiixii ma wuxuu ka imanayaa Galili? 42 Qorniinku miyaanu odhan, Masiixu wuxuu ka iman doonaa farcanka Daa'uud iyo tuuladii Beytlaxam oo Daa'uud joogay? 43 Sidaa daraaddeed dadkii badnaa waa kala qaybsamay aawadiis. 44 Qaarkood baa doonay inay qabtaan, laakiinse ninna faro ma uu saarin.
45 Saraakiishii haddaba waxay u yimaadeen wadaaddadii sare iyo Farrisiintii, iyaguna waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Maxaad u keeni weydeen? 46 Saraakiishii waxay ugu jawaabeen, Ninna weligiis uma hadlin sida ninkaasi u hadlay. 47 Farrisiintii haddaba waxay iyaga ugu jawaabeen, Idinkana ma laydin khiyaaneeyey? 48 Miyaa taliyayaasha midkood ama Farrisiinta rumaystay isaga? 49 Laakiin dadkan badan oo aan sharciga garanaynin waa inkaaran yihiin. 50 Nikodemos (kii markii hore Ciise u yimid, isagoo ah midkood) wuxuu iyaga ku yidhi, 51 Miyaa sharcigeennu xukumaa nin, iyadoo aan marka hore laga maqlin isaga oo aan la garanaynin wuxuu sameeyo? 52 Kolkaasay u jawaabeen oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Adiguna ma reer Galili baad tahay? Doondoon, oo arag inaan nebi ka kacayn Galili.
Naagtii Sinada Lagu Qabtay
53 Markaasaa nin kastaa wuxuu u baxay gurigiisii.
John 7
King James Version
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 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.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 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.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18 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.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22 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.
23 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?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28 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.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 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?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
35 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?
36 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?
37 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.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (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.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 And every man went unto his own house.
