Johana 8
1 Yesu nodhi e Got Zeituni.
but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Kinyne gokinyi nochak odok e hekalu, kama ji duto nochokore kolwore, kendo nobet piny mopuonjogi.
Early in the morning he returned to the Temple where many people gathered around him and he sat down and taught them.
3 Jopuonj Chik kod jo-Farisai nokelo dhako moro mane onwangʼ ka terore. Negikete ochungʼ e nyim joma ne ni kanyo duto,
The religious teachers and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught committing adultery and made her stand before everyone.
4 bangʼe negiwachone Yesu niya, “Japuonj, dhakoni nende omaki rando ka terore.
They said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5 Musa to nomiyowa chik mondo wachiel mon ma kamago gi kite. In to iwacho angʼo kuom wachni?”
Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. What do you say?”
6 Negiketo wachno e nyim Yesu mondo gigajego kendo giyud yo mane ginyalo donjonego. Yesu to nokulore piny kendo nochako ndiko e lowo gi lith lwete.
They said this to try and trap Jesus so they could condemn him. But Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 Kane gimedo dhi nyime gipenje, noa malo mowachonegi niya, “Ngʼato kuomu mapok otimo richo ema okuong goye gi kidi.”
They kept on demanding an answer, so he stood up and told them, “Whichever one of you has never sinned may throw the first stone at her.”
8 Eka nochako okulore piny mondiko e lowo.
Then he bent down again and went on writing on the ground.
9 Gikanyono, joma nowinjo gima nowachono nochako wuok achiel kaachiel, chakre jomadongo nyaka nyithindo mi dhakono ema nodongʼ kende kochungʼ but Yesu.
When they heard this they began to leave, one by one, starting with the oldest until Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman still standing there.
10 Yesu noa malo kendo nopenje niya, “Nyarwa, eregi? Onge ngʼama odongʼ ma pod donjoni?”
Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Where are they? Didn't anybody stay to condemn you?”
11 Nowacho niya, “Jaduongʼ, onge ngʼat modongʼ.” Yesu nokone niya, “Kata an bende ok angʼadni bura. Wuogi idhi, to kik ichak itim richo kendo.”]
“No one did, sir,” she replied. “I don't condemn you either,” Jesus told her. “Go, and don't sin anymore.”
12 Yesu nochako owuoyo kodgi, kowacho niya, “An e ler mar piny, ngʼato angʼata ma luwa ok nyal wuotho e mudho, to enobed gi ler mar ngima.”
Jesus spoke again to the people, telling them, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me you won't walk in darkness for you will have the life-giving light.”
13 Omiyo jo-Farisai nokwede kagiwacho niya, “Itimo mana nendi iwuon, omiyo ok wanyal yie ni gik miwacho gin adier.”
The Pharisees replied, “You can't be your own witness! What you say doesn't prove anything!”
14 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Kata obedo ni atimo nenda awuon to nenda pod en mana adier nimar angʼeyo kuma ne aaye gi kuma adhiye. Un to ukia kuma aaye kata kuma adhiye.
“Even if I am my own witness, my testimony is true,” Jesus told them, “for I know where I came from and where I'm going. But you don't know where I came from or where I'm going.
15 Ungʼado bura gi rieko mar dhano, an to ok angʼad bura ni ngʼato.
You judge in a typically human way, but I don't judge anyone.
16 To ka angʼado bura to paro ma angʼadogo bura nikare nikech ok atime kenda, to atime gi paro mar Wuoro mane oora.
Even if I did judge, my judgment would be right because I am not doing this alone. The Father who sent me is with me.
17 Ondiki e chiku ni nend ji ariyo nyalo bedo adiera mi yiego.
Your own law states that the testimony of two witnesses is valid.
18 An atimo nenda awuon, to ngʼama chielo matimo nenda en Wuoro mane oora.”
I am my own witness, and my other witness is my Father who sent me.”
19 Eka negipenje niya, “Wuonuno nikanye?” Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Ukiaya kendo Wuora bende ukia. Ka dine bed ni ungʼeya, to Wuora bende dine ungʼeyo.”
“Where is your father?” they asked him. “You don't know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me then you would know my Father as well.”
20 Ne owacho wechegi kane oyudo opuonjo e laru mar hekalu, but kama ji ne ketoe sadaka. To onge ngʼama nomake, nikech kindene ne pok ochopo.
Jesus explained this while he was teaching near the Temple treasury. Yet no one arrested him because his time had not yet come.
21 Yesu nowachonegi kendo niya, “Abiro dhi aweyou, kendo ubiro manya, to unutho mana e richou. Kuma adhiye ok unyal bire.”
Jesus told them again, “I'm leaving, and you'll search for me, but you'll die in your sin. You can't come where I'm going.”
22 Wachneno nomiyo jo-Yahudi openjore niya, “Dibed ni ngʼatni dwaro dere? Dipo mano emomiyo owacho ni, ‘Kuma adhiye ok unyal bire?’”
The Jews wondered out loud, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means when he says ‘You can't come where I'm going’?”
23 To nomedo wachonegi niya, “Unua mwalo e piny, an to aa malo e polo. Un jopinyni, to an ok an japinyni.
Jesus told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Ne asenyisou ni ubiro tho e richou. Ka utamoru yie ni an ngʼama asebedo ka awachonu ni an, to ubiro tho e richou adier.”
That is why I told you that you'll die in your sins. For if you don't trust in me, the ‘I am,’ you'll die in your sins.”
25 Negipenje niya, “In ngʼa?” Yesu nodwokogi niya, “An mana ngʼama asebedo ka awacho ni an nyaka aa chakruok.
Then they asked him, “Who are you?” “Exactly who I told you I was from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
26 An gi gik mangʼeny monego awachnu mondo angʼadnugo bura. To Jal mane oora en ja-adiera, kendo anyiso piny gik ma asewinjo kuome.”
“There's much I could say about you, and much I could condemn. But the one who sent me tells the truth, and what I'm saying to you here in this world is what I heard from him.”
27 Ne ok gingʼeyo ni ne owuoyonegi kuom Wuoro.
They didn't understand that he was talking to them about the Father. So Jesus explained to them:
28 Omiyo Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Bangʼ ka useguro Wuod Dhano eka unungʼe ni an ngʼama asebedo ka anyisou ni an, kendo ni onge gima atimo kenda, to awacho mana gik ma Wuora opuonja.
“When you have lifted up the Son of man then you'll know that I am the ‘I am,’ and that I do nothing of myself, but only say what the Father taught me.
29 Jal mane oora ni koda kendo pok oweya kenda, nimar atimo gik malongʼone kinde duto.”
The one who sent me is with me; he has not abandoned me, for I always do what pleases him.”
30 Ji mangʼeny noyie kuome seche ma nowuoyono.
Many who heard Jesus say these things put their trust in him.
31 Yesu nowacho ni jo-Yahudi manoyie kuome niya, “Ka usiko kumako puonjna, eka un jopuonjrena adier.
Then Jesus said to those Jews who trusted in him, “If you follow my teaching then you really are my disciples.
32 Kutimo kamano, to ubiro ngʼeyo adiera kendo adiera nomi ubed thuolo.”
You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 To negidwoke niya, “Wan koth Ibrahim kendo pok ne wabedo wasumb ngʼato nyaka nene. Ere gima omiyo iwachonwa ni ibiro miyowa wabed thuolo.”
“We're descendants of Abraham! We've never been slaves to anyone,” they answered. “How can you say that we'll be set free?”
34 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Awachonu adier, ni ngʼato ka ngʼato matimo richo, en misumba richo.
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin.
35 To ongʼere ni misumba ok luong ni wuod dala, to wuod wuon dala ema iluongo kamano nyaka chiengʼ. (aiōn g165)
A slave doesn't have a permanent place in the family, but the son is part of the family forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Omiyo ka Wuowi ema omiyo ubedo thuolo, to ubiro bedo thuolo chutho.
If the Son sets you free, then you're truly free.
37 Angʼeyo ni un koth Ibrahim, kata kamano udwaro nega, nikech udagi miyo Wachna thuolo e chunyu.
I know you're Abraham's descendants, yet you're trying to kill me because you refuse to accept my words.
38 An awachonu gik ma aseneno kuom Wuora wangʼ gi wangʼ, to un usiko utimo mana gik ma useneno kuom wuonu.”
I'm telling you what the Father has revealed to me, while you do what your father told you.”
39 Negidwoke niya, “Wan Ibrahim e Wuonwa.” Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Ka dine bed ni un nyithind Ibrahim adier, to dine utimo gik ma Ibrahim notimo;
“Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you really were children of Abraham, you'd do what Abraham did,” Jesus told them.
40 to kar timo kamano to udwaro mana nega nikech asebedo kanyiso weche mag adiera mane Nyasaye omiya. Ibrahim to ne ok otimo gik ma kamago.
“But you are trying to kill me now, because I told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would never have done that.
41 Un timbe wuonu ema utimo.” Ne gikone ka gikwere niya, “Wan ok wan kimirwa. Wuoro ma wan-go en Nyasaye owuon.”
You're doing what your father does.” “Well we are not illegitimate,” they responded. “God alone is our father!”
42 Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Ka dine bed ni Nyasaye en Wuoru, dine uhera, nimar ne aa ir Nyasaye kendo koro an ka, ok asebiro kenda awuon, to en ema noora.
Jesus replied, “If God really was your father, you would love me. I came from God and now I am here. The decision to come wasn't mine, but the one who sent me.
43 Angʼo momiyo gik mawacho ok nyal donjonu kendo ok unyal winjo tiendgi?
Why can't you understand what I'm saying? It's because you refuse to hear my message!
44 Un nyithind wuonu ma Satan kendo dwach wuonuno ema uhero timo. Ne en janek nyaka aa chakruok, kendo ok odwar adiera nikech adiera onge kuome. Koriambo to otimo gima ongʼiyogo, nimar en ja-miriambo, kendo en e wuon miriambo duto.
Your father is the Devil, and you love to follow your father's evil desires. He was a murderer from the beginning. He never stood for the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies he reveals his true character, for he's a liar and the father of lies.
45 To an ok uyie kuoma nikech awacho adiera!
So because I tell you the truth, you don't believe me!
46 Ere ngʼato kuomu ka manyalo ngʼengʼa ni an jaricho? To ka awachonu adier to angʼo momiyo udagi yie kuoma?
Can any one of you prove that I'm guilty of sin? If I'm telling you the truth, why don't you believe me?
47 Ngʼat Nyasaye winjo weche Nyasaye, to un ok uwinj wach Nyasaye nikech ok un joge.”
Anyone who belongs to God listens to what God says. The reason you don't listen is because you don't belong to God.”
48 Jo-Yahudi nodwoke niya, “Donge wan kare ka wawacho ni in ja-Samaria kendo ni in gi jachien?”
“Aren't we right to call you a Samaritan who is demon-possessed?” said the Jews.
49 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Aonge gi jachien. Wuora ema amiyo duongʼ to un to uchaya.
“No, I don't have a demon,” Jesus replied. “I honor my Father, but you dishonor me.
50 An ok adwar mondo umiya duongʼ, to nitie Jal machielo madwaro mondo ayud duongʼ, kendo en e jangʼad bura.
I'm not here looking to glorify myself. But there is one who does this for me and who judges in my favor.
I tell you the truth, anyone who follows my teaching will never die.” (aiōn g165)
52 Kane jo-Yahudi owinjo wachno, negiwachone niya, “Koro wangʼeyo maonge kiawa ni in gi jachien! Ibrahim notho, kendo jonabi bende notho, to in to iwacho ni ka ngʼato orito wachni to ok notho. (aiōn g165)
“Now we know you're demon-possessed,” said the Jews. “Abraham died, and the prophets did too, and you're telling us ‘anyone who follows my teaching will never die’! (aiōn g165)
53 Iparo ni iduongʼ moloyo kwarwa Ibrahim? Ka en notho, to jonabi bende notho, in to iparo ni in ngʼa?”
Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and the prophets died. Who do you think you are?”
54 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Ka dipo ni amiyora duongʼ kenda, to duongʼna onge tich. Wuora, ma un bende uluongo ni Nyasachuno ema miya duongʼ.
Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. But it is God himself who glorifies me, the one you claim, ‘He is our God.’
55 Kata obedo ni ok ungʼeye, anto angʼeye. Ka anyalo wacho ni ok angʼeye, to anyalo bedo ja-miriambo mana ka un, to angʼeye adier kendo pile angʼeyo wachne.
You don't know him, but I know him. If I were to say, ‘I don't know him,’ I'd be a liar, just like you. But I do know him, and I do what he says.
56 Ibrahim kwaru ne mor koneno ndalona; adier, nonene mobedo mamor.”
Your father Abraham was delighted as he looked forward to see my coming, and was so happy when he saw it.”
57 Jo-Yahudi nowachone niya, “Pok ichopo kata higni piero abich, to Ibrahim to iseneno kanye!”
The Jews replied, “You're not even fifty years old, and you've seen Abraham?”
58 Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Awachonu adier ni kane pok onywol Ibrahim, to ne Antie!”
“I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am,” said Jesus.
59 Gikanyono ne gikwanyo kite mondo gichielgo Yesu, to nopondonigi, mopusore oa e laru mar hekalu.
At this they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus was hidden from them and he left the Temple.
