John 8
1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
pratyūṣē yīśuḥ panarmandiram āgacchat
2 And at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.
tataḥ sarvvēṣu lōkēṣu tasya samīpa āgatēṣu sa upaviśya tān upadēṣṭum ārabhata|
3 And the scholars and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery. And having stood her in the midst,
tadā adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinañca vyabhicārakarmmaṇi dhr̥taṁ striyamēkām āniya sarvvēṣāṁ madhyē sthāpayitvā vyāharan
4 tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the act.
hē gurō yōṣitam imāṁ vyabhicārakarmma kurvvāṇāṁ lōkā dhr̥tavantaḥ|
5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou say about her?
ētādr̥śalōkāḥ pāṣāṇāghātēna hantavyā iti vidhirmūsāvyavasthāgranthē likhitōsti kintu bhavān kimādiśati?
6 But they said this, trying him, so that they might have an accusation against him. But Jesus having stooped down, wrote on the ground with his finger, not pretending.
tē tamapavadituṁ parīkṣābhiprāyēṇa vākyamidam apr̥cchan kintu sa prahvībhūya bhūmāvaṅgalyā lēkhitum ārabhata|
7 And when they continued asking him, after standing erect, he said to them, Let the innocent man of you first cast the stone at her.
tatastaiḥ punaḥ punaḥ pr̥ṣṭa utthāya kathitavān yuṣmākaṁ madhyē yō janō niraparādhī saēva prathamam ēnāṁ pāṣāṇēnāhantu|
8 And again having stooped down, he wrote on the ground.
paścāt sa punaśca prahvībhūya bhūmau lēkhitum ārabhata|
9 And they, having heard and being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, having begun from the elder until the last. And Jesus was left behind alone, and the woman being in the midst.
tāṁ kathaṁ śrutvā tē svasvamanasi prabōdhaṁ prāpya jyēṣṭhānukramaṁ ēkaikaśaḥ sarvvē bahiragacchan tatō yīśurēkākī tayakttōbhavat madhyasthānē daṇḍāyamānā sā yōṣā ca sthitā|
10 And Jesus, after standing erect, and having seen no man but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those accusers of thee? Did no man condemn thee?
tatpaścād yīśurutthāya tāṁ vanitāṁ vinā kamapyaparaṁ na vilōkya pr̥ṣṭavān hē vāmē tavāpavādakāḥ kutra? kōpi tvāṁ kiṁ na daṇḍayati?
11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and henceforth sin no more.
sāvadat hē mahēccha kōpi na tadā yīśuravōcat nāhamapi daṇḍayāmi yāhi punaḥ pāpaṁ mākārṣīḥ|
12 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me would, no, not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.
tatō yīśuḥ punarapi lōkēbhya itthaṁ kathayitum ārabhata jagatōhaṁ jyōtiḥsvarūpō yaḥ kaścin matpaścāda gacchati sa timirē na bhramitvā jīvanarūpāṁ dīptiṁ prāpsyati|
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy testimony is not valid.
tataḥ phirūśinō'vādiṣustvaṁ svārthē svayaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadāsi tasmāt tava sākṣyaṁ grāhyaṁ na bhavati|
14 Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I might testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I go, but ye do not know where I come from and where I go.
tadā yīśuḥ pratyuditavān yadyapi svārthē'haṁ svayaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadāmi tathāpi mat sākṣyaṁ grāhyaṁ yasmād ahaṁ kuta āgatōsmi kva yāmi ca tadahaṁ jānāmi kintu kuta āgatōsmi kutra gacchāmi ca tad yūyaṁ na jānītha|
15 Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man.
yūyaṁ laukikaṁ vicārayatha nāhaṁ kimapi vicārayāmi|
16 But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
kintu yadi vicārayāmi tarhi mama vicārō grahītavyō yatōham ēkākī nāsmi prērayitā pitā mayā saha vidyatē|
17 And also it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is valid.
dvayō rjanayōḥ sākṣyaṁ grahaṇīyaṁ bhavatīti yuṣmākaṁ vyavasthāgranthē likhitamasti|
18 I am he who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.
ahaṁ svārthē svayaṁ sākṣitvaṁ dadāmi yaśca mama tātō māṁ prēritavān sōpi madarthē sākṣyaṁ dadāti|
19 They said therefore to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.
tadā tē'pr̥cchan tava tātaḥ kutra? tatō yīśuḥ pratyavādīd yūyaṁ māṁ na jānītha matpitarañca na jānītha yadi mām akṣāsyata tarhi mama tātamapyakṣāsyata|
20 Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no man seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
yīśu rmandira upadiśya bhaṇḍāgārē kathā ētā akathayat tathāpi taṁ prati kōpi karaṁ nōdatōlayat|
21 Jesus therefore again said to them, I go, and ye will seek me, and ye will die in your sin. Where I go, ye cannot come.
tataḥ paraṁ yīśuḥ punaruditavān adhunāhaṁ gacchāmi yūyaṁ māṁ gavēṣayiṣyatha kintu nijaiḥ pāpai rmariṣyatha yat sthānam ahaṁ yāsyāmi tat sthānam yūyaṁ yātuṁ na śakṣyatha|
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, ye cannot come?
tadā yihūdīyāḥ prāvōcan kimayam ātmaghātaṁ kariṣyati? yatō yat sthānam ahaṁ yāsyāmi tat sthānam yūyaṁ yātuṁ na śakṣyatha iti vākyaṁ bravīti|
23 And he said to them, Ye are from below, I am from above. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world.
tatō yīśustēbhyaḥ kathitavān yūyam adhaḥsthānīyā lōkā aham ūrdvvasthānīyaḥ yūyam ētajjagatsambandhīyā aham ētajjagatsambandhīyō na|
24 I said therefore to you that ye will die in your sins. For unless ye believe that I am he, ye will die in your sins.
tasmāt kathitavān yūyaṁ nijaiḥ pāpai rmariṣyatha yatōhaṁ sa pumān iti yadi na viśvasitha tarhi nijaiḥ pāpai rmariṣyatha|
25 They said therefore to him, Who are thou? And Jesus said to them, The beginning, something that I am even telling you.
tadā tē 'pr̥cchan kastvaṁ? tatō yīśuḥ kathitavān yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau yasya prastāvam ā prathamāt karōmi saēva puruṣōhaṁ|
26 I have many things to say and to judge about you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.
yuṣmāsu mayā bahuvākyaṁ vakttavyaṁ vicārayitavyañca kintu matprērayitā satyavādī tasya samīpē yadahaṁ śrutavān tadēva jagatē kathayāmi|
27 They did not understand that he spoke the Father to them.
kintu sa janakē vākyamidaṁ prōkttavān iti tē nābudhyanta|
28 Jesus therefore said to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but I speak these things as my Father taught me.
tatō yīśurakathayad yadā manuṣyaputram ūrdvva utthāpayiṣyatha tadāhaṁ sa pumān kēvalaḥ svayaṁ kimapi karmma na karōmi kintu tātō yathā śikṣayati tadanusārēṇa vākyamidaṁ vadāmīti ca yūyaṁ jñātuṁ śakṣyatha|
29 And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.
matprērayitā pitā mām ēkākinaṁ na tyajati sa mayā sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhati yatōhaṁ tadabhimataṁ karmma sadā karōmi|
30 As he spoke these things of him, many believed in him.
tadā tasyaitāni vākyāni śrutvā bahuvastāsmin vyaśvasan|
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples,
yē yihūdīyā vyaśvasan yīśustēbhyō'kathayat
32 and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
mama vākyē yadi yūyam āsthāṁ kurutha tarhi mama śiṣyā bhūtvā satyatvaṁ jñāsyatha tataḥ satyatayā yuṣmākaṁ mōkṣō bhaviṣyati|
33 They answered to him, We are Abraham's seed, and have been in bondage to no man, ever. How can thou say, Ye will become free?
tadā tē pratyavādiṣuḥ vayam ibrāhīmō vaṁśaḥ kadāpi kasyāpi dāsā na jātāstarhi yuṣmākaṁ muktti rbhaviṣyatīti vākyaṁ kathaṁ bravīṣi?
34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, that every man who does the sin is a bondman of the sin.
tadā yīśuḥ pratyavadad yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthataraṁ vadāmi yaḥ pāpaṁ karōti sa pāpasya dāsaḥ|
35 And the bondman does not remain in the house into the age. The Son remains into the age. (aiōn g165)
dāsaśca nirantaraṁ nivēśanē na tiṣṭhati kintu putrō nirantaraṁ tiṣṭhati| (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son should make you free, ye will truly be free.
ataḥ putrō yadi yuṣmān mōcayati tarhi nitāntamēva mukttā bhaviṣyatha|
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed, yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
yuyam ibrāhīmō vaṁśa ityahaṁ jānāmi kintu mama kathā yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇēṣu sthānaṁ na prāpnuvanti tasmāddhētō rmāṁ hantum īhadhvē|
38 I speak what I have seen from my Father, and ye therefore do what ye have seen from your father.
ahaṁ svapituḥ samīpē yadapaśyaṁ tadēva kathayāmi tathā yūyamapi svapituḥ samīpē yadapaśyata tadēva kurudhvē|
39 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.
tadā tē pratyavōcan ibrāhīm asmākaṁ pitā tatō yīśurakathayad yadi yūyam ibrāhīmaḥ santānā abhaviṣyata tarhi ibrāhīma ācāraṇavad ācariṣyata|
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
īśvarasya mukhāt satyaṁ vākyaṁ śrutvā yuṣmān jñāpayāmi yōhaṁ taṁ māṁ hantuṁ cēṣṭadhvē ibrāhīm ētādr̥śaṁ karmma na cakāra|
41 Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We were not begotten from fornication. We have one Father, God.
yūyaṁ svasvapituḥ karmmāṇi kurutha tadā tairukttaṁ na vayaṁ jārajātā asmākam ēkaēva pitāsti sa ēvēśvaraḥ
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me, for I came forth and have come from God. For, neither have I come for myself, but he sent me.
tatō yīśunā kathitam īśvarō yadi yuṣmākaṁ tātōbhaviṣyat tarhi yūyaṁ mayi prēmākariṣyata yatōham īśvarānnirgatyāgatōsmi svatō nāgatōhaṁ sa māṁ prāhiṇōt|
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
yūyaṁ mama vākyamidaṁ na budhyadhvē kutaḥ? yatō yūyaṁ mamōpadēśaṁ sōḍhuṁ na śaknutha|
44 Ye are from the father, the devil, and ye want to do the desires of your father. He was a man-killer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
yūyaṁ śaitān pituḥ santānā ētasmād yuṣmākaṁ piturabhilāṣaṁ pūrayatha sa ā prathamāt naraghātī tadantaḥ satyatvasya lēśōpi nāsti kāraṇādataḥ sa satyatāyāṁ nātiṣṭhat sa yadā mr̥ṣā kathayati tadā nijasvabhāvānusārēṇaiva kathayati yatō sa mr̥ṣābhāṣī mr̥ṣōtpādakaśca|
45 And I, because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
ahaṁ tathyavākyaṁ vadāmi kāraṇādasmād yūyaṁ māṁ na pratītha|
46 Which of you convicts me about sin? And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
mayi pāpamastīti pramāṇaṁ yuṣmākaṁ kō dātuṁ śaknōti? yadyahaṁ tathyavākyaṁ vadāmi tarhi kutō māṁ na pratitha?
47 He who is of God hears the sayings of God. Because of this ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
yaḥ kaścana īśvarīyō lōkaḥ sa īśvarīyakathāyāṁ manō nidhattē yūyam īśvarīyalōkā na bhavatha tannidānāt tatra na manāṁsi nidhadvē|
48 Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
tadā yihūdīyāḥ pratyavādiṣuḥ tvamēkaḥ śōmirōṇīyō bhūtagrastaśca vayaṁ kimidaṁ bhadraṁ nāvādiṣma?
49 Jesus answered, I have no demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
tatō yīśuḥ pratyavādīt nāhaṁ bhūtagrastaḥ kintu nijatātaṁ sammanyē tasmād yūyaṁ mām apamanyadhvē|
50 But I seek not my own glory. He is who seeks and judges.
ahaṁ svasukhyātiṁ na cēṣṭē kintu cēṣṭitā vicārayitā cāpara ēka āstē|
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keeps my word, he will, no, not see death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
ahaṁ yuṣmabhyam atīva yathārthaṁ kathayāmi yō narō madīyaṁ vācaṁ manyatē sa kadācana nidhanaṁ na drakṣyati| (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and thou say, If any man keeps my word, he will, no, not taste of death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
yihūdīyāstamavadan tvaṁ bhūtagrasta itīdānīm avaiṣma| ibrāhīm bhaviṣyadvādinañca sarvvē mr̥tāḥ kintu tvaṁ bhāṣasē yō narō mama bhāratīṁ gr̥hlāti sa jātu nidhānāsvādaṁ na lapsyatē| (aiōn g165)
53 Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself?
tarhi tvaṁ kim asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣād ibrāhīmōpi mahān? yasmāt sōpi mr̥taḥ bhaviṣyadvādinōpi mr̥tāḥ tvaṁ svaṁ kaṁ pumāṁsaṁ manuṣē?
54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. My Father is he who glorifies me, of whom ye say, He is our God.
yīśuḥ pratyavōcad yadyahaṁ svaṁ svayaṁ sammanyē tarhi mama tat sammananaṁ kimapi na kintu mama tātō yaṁ yūyaṁ svīyam īśvaraṁ bhāṣadhvē saēva māṁ sammanutē|
55 And ye do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.
yūyaṁ taṁ nāvagacchatha kintvahaṁ tamavagacchāmi taṁ nāvagacchāmīti vākyaṁ yadi vadāmi tarhi yūyamiva mr̥ṣābhāṣī bhavāmi kintvahaṁ tamavagacchāmi tadākṣāmapi gr̥hlāmi|
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he could see my day, and he saw it, and was glad.
yuṣmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣa ibrāhīm mama samayaṁ draṣṭum atīvāvāñchat tannirīkṣyānandacca|
57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham?
tadā yihūdīyā apr̥cchan tava vayaḥ pañcāśadvatsarā na tvaṁ kim ibrāhīmam adrākṣīḥ?
58 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am.
yīśuḥ pratyavādīd yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthataraṁ vadāmi ibrāhīmō janmanaḥ pūrvvakālamārabhyāhaṁ vidyē|
59 Therefore they took up stones so that they might throw at him, but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, having passed through the midst of them, and thus passed on.
tadā tē pāṣāṇān uttōlya tamāhantum udayacchan kintu yīśu rguptō mantirād bahirgatya tēṣāṁ madhyēna prasthitavān|
