約翰福音 8
1 耶穌上了橄欖山。
But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
2 清晨他又來到聖殿，眾百姓都到他跟前來，他便坐下教訓他們。
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.
3 那時，經師和法利賽人帶來了一個犯姦淫時被捉住的婦人，叫她站在中間，
And the scribes and the Pharisees bring [to him] a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 便向耶穌說：「師傅! 這婦人是正在犯姦淫時被捉住的，
they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.
5 在法律上，梅瑟命令我們該用石頭砸死這樣的婦人；可是，你說什麼呢？」
Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?
6 他們說這話，是要試探耶穌，好能控告他；耶穌卻彎下身去，用指頭在地上畫字。
But this they said proving him, that they might have [something] to accuse him [of]. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
7 因為他們不斷地追問，他便直起身來，向他們說：「你們中間誰沒有罪，先向她投石罷! 」
But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her.
8 他又彎下身去，在地上寫字。
And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.
9 他們一聽這話，就從年老的開始到年幼的，一個一個地都溜走了，只留下耶穌一人和站在那裡的婦人。
But they, having heard [that], went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.
10 耶穌遂直起身來向說: 「婦人！他們在那裏呢？沒有人定你的罪嗎？」
And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee?
11 她說: 「主！沒有人。」耶穌向她說: 「我也不定你的罪；去罷! 從今以後，不要再犯罪了! 」
And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 耶穌又向眾人講說: 「我是世界的光；跟隨我的，決不在黑暗中行走，必有生命的光。」
Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 法利賽於是對對他說: 「你為你自己作證，你的證據是不可憑信的。」
The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true.
14 耶穌回答說：「我即便為我自己作證，我的證據是可憑信的，因為我知道：我從那裏來，往那裏去；你們卻不知道: 我從那裏來，或往那裏去。
Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is true, because I know whence I came and whither I go: but ye know not whence I come and whither I go.
15 你們只憑肉眼判斷，我卻不判斷任何人；
Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.
16 即使我判斷，我的判斷仍是真實的，因為我不是獨自一個，而是有我，還有派遣我來的父。
And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has sent me.
17 在你們的法律上也記載著: 兩個人的作證是可憑信的。
And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true:
18 今有我為我自己作證，也有派遣我的父，為我作證。」
I am [one] who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me.
19 他們使問他說: 「你的父在那裏？」耶穌答覆說：「你們不認識我，也不認識我的父；若是你們認識了我，也就認識我的父了。」
They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father.
20 這些話是耶穌於聖殿施教時，在銀庫院裏所講的。誰也沒有捉拿，因為的時辰還沒有到。
These words spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him, for his hour was not yet come.
21 那時，耶穌又向他們說：「我去了，你們要尋找我，你們必要死在你們的罪惡中；我所去的地方，你們不能去。」
He said therefore again to them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin; where I go ye cannot come.
22 猶太人便說: 「他說: 我所去的地方，你你們不能去；莫非他要自殺嗎？」
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye cannot come?
23 耶穌向他們說: 「你們是出於下，我卻是出於上；你們是出於這個世界，我卻不是出於這個世界。
And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above. Ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 因此，我對你們說過: 你但要死在你們的罪惡中。的確，你們若不相信我就是那一位，你們必要死在你們的罪惡中。」
I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for unless ye shall believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
25 於是，他們問耶穌說: 「你到底是誰？」耶穌回答他們說: 「難道從起初我沒有對你們講論過嗎？
They said therefore to him, Who art thou? [And] Jesus said to them, Altogether that which I also say to you.
26 對你們我有許多事要說，要譴責；但是派遣我來者是真實的；我由他聽來的，我就講給世界聽。」
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but he that has sent me is true, and I, what I have heard from him, these things I say to the world.
27 們不明白他是在給他們講論父。
They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.
28 耶穌遂說: 「當你們高舉了人子以後，你們便知道我就是那一位。我由我自己不作什麼；我所講論的，都是依照父所教訓我的。
Jesus therefore said to them, When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me I speak these things.
29 派遣我來者與我在一起，他沒有留下我獨自一個，因為我常作他所喜悅的事。」
And he that has sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I do always the things that are pleasing to him.
30 當耶穌講這些話時，許多人便信了他。
As he spoke these things many believed on him.
31 於是，耶穌對那些信他的猶太人說: 「你們如果固守我的話，就確是我的門徒，
Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
32 也會認識真理，而真理必會使你們獲得自由。」
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
33 他們回答說: 「我們是亞巴郎的後裔，從未給人做過奴隸；怎麼你說：你們要成為自由的呢？」
They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?
34 耶穌答覆說: 「我實實在在告訴你們: 凡是犯罪的，就是罪惡的奴隸。
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin.
Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 那麼，如果天主子使你們自由了，你們的確是自由的。
If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.
37 我知道你們是亞巴郎後裔，你們圖謀殺害我，因為你們容納不下我的話。
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no entrance in you.
38 我說的，是我在父那裏所看見的；而你們行的，卻是你們從你們的父那裏所學習的。」
I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do what ye have seen with your father.
39 他們回答說: 「我們的父是亞巴郎。」耶穌對他們說: 「假如你們是亞巴郎的子女，你們就該作啞巴郎的事。
They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham;
40 如今，你們竟圖謀殺害我──這個給你們說出從天主那裏所聽到的真理的人──亞巴郎卻沒有做過言這樣的事。
but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
41 你們正做你們父親的事業。」他們向他說：「我們不是由淫亂生的，我們只有一個父親: 就是天主。」
Ye do the works of your father. They said [therefore] to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, God.
42 耶穌回答說：「假如天主是你們的父親，你們必愛我，因為我是由天主出發而來的，並不是由我自己來的，而是那一位派遣了我。
Jesus said to them, If God were your father ye would have loved me, for I came forth from God and am come [from him]; for neither am I come of myself, but he has sent me.
43 為什麼你們不明白我的講論呢？無非是你們不肯聽我的話。
Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
44 你們是出於你們的父親魔鬼並願意追隨你們父親的慾望。從起初，他就是殺人的兇手，不站在真理上，因為在他內沒有真理；他幾時撒謊，正出於他的本性，因為他是撒謊者，而且又是撒謊者的父親。
Ye are of the devil, as [your] father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:
45 至於我，因為我說真理，你們卻不信我。
and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 你們中誰能指證我有罪？若是我說真理，為什麼你們卻不信我呢？
Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 出於天主的，必聽天主的話；你們所以不聽，因為你們不是出於天主。」
He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
48 猶太人遂向他說: 「我們說你是個撒瑪黎雅人，並附有魔鬼，豈不正對嗎？」
The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon?
49 耶穌答覆說： 「我沒有附魔，我只是尊敬我的父，你們卻侮辱我。
Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
50 然而，我不尋求我的光榮，有為我尋求而行判斷的一位。
But I do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and judges.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one shall keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham has died, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste death. (aiōn g165)
53 難道你比我們的父親亞巴郎還大嗎？他死了，先知們也死了。你把你自己當作什麼人呢？」
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?
54 耶穌答覆說: 「我如果光榮我自己，我的光榮算不了什麼；那光榮是我的，是我的父，就是你們所稱的「我們的天主」。
Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifies me, [of] whom ye say, He is our God.
55 你們不認識他，我卻認識他；我若說我不認識他，我便像你們一樣是個撒謊者；但是，我認識他，也遵守他的話。
And ye know him not; but I know him; and if I said, I know him not, I should be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.
56 你們的父親亞巴郎曾歡欣喜樂地企望看到我的日子，他看見了極其高興。」
Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.
57 猶太就對他說: 「你還沒有五十歲，就見過亞巴郎嗎？」
The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 耶穌回答說: 「我實實在在告訴你們: 在亞巴郎出現以前我就有。」
Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 他們就拿起石頭來要向他投去；耶穌卻隱沒了，從聖殿裏出去了。
They took up therefore stones that they might cast [them] at him; but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, [going through the midst of them, and thus passed on.]
