Ivan 8
1 A Isus se uputi na Maslinsku goru.
except Jesus, who went to the Mount of Olives.
2 U zoru eto ga opet u Hramu. Sav je narod hrlio k njemu. On sjede i stade poučavati.
But he went again into the Temple Courts early in the morning, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.
3 Uto mu pismoznanci i farizeji dovedu neku ženu zatečenu u preljubu. Postave je u sredinu
Presently, however, the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placed her in the middle of the Court,
4 i kažu mu: “Učitelju! Ova je žena zatečena u samom preljubu.
and said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, this woman was found in the act of adultery.
5 U Zakonu nam je Mojsije naredio takve kamenovati. Što ti na to kažeš?”
Now Moses, in the Law, commanded us to stone such women to death; what do you say?’
6 To govorahu samo da ga iskušaju pa da ga mogu optužiti. Isus se sagne pa stane prstom pisati po tlu.
They said this to test him, in order to have a charge to bring against him. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 A kako su oni dalje navaljivali, on se uspravi i reče im: “Tko je od vas bez grijeha, neka prvi na nju baci kamen.”
However, as they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said, ‘Let the person among you who has never done wrong throw the first stone at her.’
8 I ponovno se sagnuvši, nastavi pisati po zemlji.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 A kad oni to čuše, stadoše odlaziti jedan za drugim, počevši od starijih. Osta Isus sam - i žena koja stajaše u sredini.
When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest; and Jesus was left alone with the woman in the middle of the Court.
10 Isus se uspravi i reče joj: “Ženo, gdje su oni? Zar te nitko ne osudi?”
Raising himself, Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?’
11 Ona reče: “Nitko, Gospodine.” Reče joj Isus: “Ni ja te ne osuđujem. Idi i odsada više nemoj griješiti.”
‘No one, Sir,’ she answered. ‘Neither do I condemn you,’ said Jesus ‘go, and do not sin again.’
12 Isus im zatim ponovno progovori: “Ja sam svjetlost svijeta; tko ide za mnom, neće hoditi u tami, nego će imati svjetlost života.”
Jesus again addressed the people. ‘I am the light of the world,’ he said. ‘The person who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’
13 Farizeji mu nato rekoše: “Ti svjedočiš sam za sebe: svjedočanstvo tvoje nije istinito!”
‘You are bearing testimony to yourself!’ exclaimed the Pharisees, ‘your testimony is not trustworthy.’
14 Odgovori im Isus: “Ako ja i svjedočim sam za sebe, svjedočanstvo je moje istinito jer znam odakle dođoh i kamo idem. A vi ne znate ni odakle dolazim ni kamo idem.
‘Even if I bear testimony to myself,’ answered Jesus, ‘my testimony is trustworthy; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, nor where I am going.
15 Vi sudite po tijelu; ja ne sudim nikoga;
You judge by appearances; I judge no one.
16 no ako i sudim, sud je moj istinit jer nisam sam, nego - ja i onaj koji me posla, Otac.
Yet, even if I were to judge, my judgment would be trustworthy; because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.
17 Ta i u vašem zakonu piše da je svjedočanstvo dvojice istinito.
Why, in your own Law it is said that the testimony of two persons is trustworthy.
18 Ja svjedočim za sebe, a svjedoči za mene i onaj koji me posla, Otac.”
I, who bear testimony to myself, am one, and the Father who sent me also bears testimony to me.’
19 Nato ga upitaju: “Gdje je tvoj Otac?” Odgovori Isus: “Niti mene poznajete niti Oca mojega. Kad biste poznavali mene, i Oca biste moga poznavali.”
‘Where is your father, then?’ they asked. ‘You know neither me nor my Father,’ replied Jesus. ‘If you had known me, you would have also known my Father.’
20 Te riječi rekao je Isus u riznici dok je naučavao u Hramu. I nitko ga ne uhvati jer još ne bijaše došao njegov čas.
These statements Jesus made in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple Courts. Yet no one arrested him, for his time had not then come.
21 Reče im ponovno Isus: “Ja odlazim, a vi ćete me tražiti i u svojem ćete grijehu umrijeti. Kamo ja odlazim, vi ne možete doći.”
Jesus again spoke to the people. ‘I am going away,’ he said, ‘and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin; you cannot come where I am going.’
22 Židovi se nato stanu pitati: “Da se možda ne kani ubiti kad govori: 'Kamo ja odlazim, vi ne možete doći'?”
‘Is he going to kill himself,’ the people exclaimed, ‘that he says – “You cannot go where I am going”?’
23 A Isus nastavi: “Vi ste odozdol, ja sam odozgor. Vi ste od ovoga svijeta, a ja nisam od ovoga svijeta.
‘You,’ added Jesus, ‘are from below, I am from above; you are of this present world, I am not;
24 Stoga vam i rekoh: 'Umrijet ćete u grijesima svojim.' Uistinu, ako ne povjerujete da Ja jesam, umrijet ćete u grijesima svojim.”
and so I told you that you would die in your sins, for, unless you believe that I am what I am, you will die in your sins.’
25 Nato mu oni rekoše: “A tko si ti?” Odvrati Isus:
‘Who are you?’ they asked. ‘Why ask exactly what I have been telling you?’ said Jesus.
26 “Ta što da vam s početka opet zborim? Mnogo toga imam o vama zboriti i suditi; no onaj koji me posla istinit je, i što sam čuo od njega, to ja zborim svijetu.”
‘I have still much that concerns you to speak of and to pass judgment on; yet he who sent me may be trusted, and I speak to the world only of the things which I have heard from him.’
27 Ne shvatiše da im govori o Ocu.
They did not understand that he meant the Father.
28 Isus im nato reče: “Kad uzdignete Sina Čovječjega, tada ćete upoznati da Ja jesam i da sam od sebe ne činim ništa, nego da onako zborim kako me naučio Otac.
So Jesus added, ‘When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will understand that I am what I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but that I say just what the Father has taught me.
29 Onaj koji me posla sa mnom je i ne ostavi me sama jer ja uvijek činim što je njemu milo.”
Moreover, he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; for I always do what pleases him.’
30 Na te njegove riječi mnogi povjerovaše u njega.
While he was speaking in this way, many came to believe in him.
31 Tada Isus progovori Židovima koji mu povjerovaše: “Ako ostanete u mojoj riječi, uistinu, moji ste učenici;
So Jesus went on to say to those who had believed him, ‘If you remain constant to my message, you are truly my disciples;
32 upoznat ćete istinu i istina će vas osloboditi.”
and you will find out the truth, and the truth will set you free.’
33 Odgovore mu: “Potomstvo smo Abrahamovo i nikome nikada nismo robovali. Kako to ti govoriš: 'Postat ćete slobodni?'”
‘We are descendants of Abraham,’ was their answer, ‘and have never yet been in slavery to anyone. What do you mean by saying “you will be set free”?’
34 Odgovori im Isus: “Zaista, zaista, kažem vam: tko god čini grijeh, rob je grijeha.
‘In truth I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
And a slave does not remain in the home always; but a son remains always. (aiōn g165)
36 Ako vas dakle Sin oslobodi, zbilja ćete biti slobodni.
If, then, the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!
37 Znam: potomstvo ste Abrahamovo, a ipak tražite da me ubijete jer moja riječ nema mjesta u vama.
I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you are seeking to put me to death, because my message finds no place in your hearts.
38 Ja govorim što vidjeh kod Oca, a vi činite što čuste od svog oca.”
I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learned from your father.’
39 Odgovoriše mu: “Naš je otac Abraham”. Kaže im Isus: “Da ste djeca Abrahamova, djela biste Abrahamova činili.
‘Our father is Abraham,’ was their answer. ‘If you are Abraham’s children,’ replied Jesus, ‘do what Abraham did.
40 A eto, tražite da ubijete mene, mene koji sam vam govorio istinu što sam je od Boga čuo. Takvo što Abraham nije učinio!
But, as it is, you are seeking to put me to death – a man who has told you the truth as he heard it from God. Abraham did not act in that way.
41 Vi činite djela oca svojega.” Rekoše mu: “Mi se nismo rodili iz preljuba, jedan nam je Otac - Bog.”
You are doing what your own father does.’ ‘We are not bastards,’ they said, ‘we have one Father – God himself.’
42 Reče im Isus: “Kad bi Bog bio vaš Otac, ljubili biste mene jer sam ja od Boga izišao i došao; nisam sam od sebe došao, nego on me posla.
‘If God were your Father,’ Jesus replied, ‘you would have loved me, for I came out from God, and now am here; and I have not come of myself, but he sent me as his messenger.
43 Zašto moje besjede ne razumijete? Zato što niste kadri slušati moju riječ.
How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.
44 Vama je otac đavao i hoće vam se vršiti prohtjeve oca svoga. On bijaše čovjekoubojica od početka i ne stajaše u istini jer nema istine u njemu: kad govori laž, od svojega govori jer je lažac i otac laži.
As for you, you are children of your father the devil, and you are determined to do what your father loves to do. He was a murderer from the first, and did not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he does what is natural to him; because he is a liar, and the father of lying.
45 A meni, jer istinu govorim, meni ne vjerujete.
But, as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.
46 Tko će mi od vas dokazati grijeh? Ako istinu govorim, zašto mi ne vjerujete?
Which of you can convict me of sin? Why then don’t you believe me, if I am speaking truth?
47 Tko je od Boga, riječi Božje sluša; vi zato ne slušate jer niste od Boga.”
The person who comes from God listens to God’s teaching; the reason why you do not listen is because you do not come from God.’
48 Odgovoriše mu Židovi: “Ne kažemo li pravo da si ti Samarijanac i da imaš zloduha?”
‘Aren’t we right, after all,’ replied the people, ‘in saying that you are a Samaritan, and are possessed by a demon?’
49 Odgovori Isus: “Ja nemam zloduha, nego častim svoga Oca, a vi me obeščašćujete.
‘I am not possessed by a demon,’ Jesus answered, ‘but I am honouring my Father; and yet you dishonour me.
50 No ja ne tražim svoje slave; ima tko traži i sudi.
Not that I am seeking honour for myself; there is one who is seeking my honour, and he decides.
In truth I tell you, if anyone lays my message to heart, he will never really die.’ (aiōn g165)
52 Rekoše mu Židovi: “Sada vidimo da imaš zloduha. Abraham umrije, tako i proroci, a ti kažeš: 'Ako tko čuva moju riječ, neće okusiti smrti dovijeka.' (aiōn g165)
‘Now we are sure that you are possessed by a demon,’ the people replied. ‘Abraham died, and so did the prophets; and yet you say “If anyone lays my message to heart, they will never know death.” (aiōn g165)
53 Zar si ti veći od oca našega Abrahama, koji je umro? Pa i proroci pomriješe. Kime se to praviš?”
Are you greater than our ancestor Abraham, who died? And the prophets died too. Whom do you make yourself out to be?’
54 Odgovori Isus: “Ako ja sam sebe slavim, slava moja nije ništa. Ima koji me slavi - Otac moj, a vi velite da je on vaš Bog,
‘If I do honour to myself,’ answered Jesus, ‘such honour counts for nothing. It is my Father who does me honour – and you say that he is your God;
55 no ne poznajete ga, a ja ga znam. Ako vam reknem da ga ne znam, bit ću lažac jednak vama. No znam ga i riječ njegovu čuvam.
and yet you have not learned to know him; but I know him; and, if I were to say that I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him, and I lay his message to heart.
56 Abraham, otac vaš, usklikta što će vidjeti moj Dan. I vidje i obradova se.”
Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; and he did see it, and was glad.’
57 Rekoše mu nato Židovi: “Ni pedeset ti još godina nije, a vidio si Abrahama?”
‘You are not fifty years old yet,’ the people exclaimed, ‘and have you seen Abraham?’
58 Reče im Isus: “Zaista, zaista, kažem vam: prije negoli Abraham posta, Ja jesam!”
‘In truth I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘before Abraham existed I was.’
59 Nato pograbiše kamenje da bace na nj. No Isus se sakri te iziđe iz Hrama.
At this they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and left the Temple Courts.
