< John 8 >

1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
Jezus je odšel k Oljski gori.
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.
Zgodaj zjutraj je ponovno prišel v tempelj in vsi ljudje so prišli k njemu, in usedel se je ter jih učil.
3 And the scholars and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery. And having stood her in the midst,
In pisarji in farizeji so k njemu privedli žensko, zasačeno v zakonolomstvu; in ko so jo postavili v sredo,
4 tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the act.
so mu rekli: »Učitelj, ta ženska je bila zasačena v zakonolomstvu, pri samem dejanju.
5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou say about her?
Torej Mojzes nam je v postavi ukazal, da naj bi bili taki kamnani. Toda kaj praviš ti?«
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.
To so rekli, ker so ga skušali, da bi ga lahko obtožili. Jezus pa se je sklonil in s svojim prstom pisal po tleh, kakor da jih ni slišal.
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.
Torej, ko so ga še naprej spraševali, se je vzravnal in jim rekel: »Kdor je med vami brez greha, naj prvi vrže kamen vanjo.«
8 And again having stooped down, he wrote on the ground.
In ponovno se je sklonil ter pisal po tleh.
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.
In ti, ki so to slišali, so obsojeni po svoji lastni vesti, drug za drugim odšli ven, s pričetkom pri najstarejših, celó do zadnjega; in Jezus je ostal sam ter ženska, stoječa v sredi.
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?
Ko se je Jezus dvignil in ni videl nikogar razen ženske, ji je rekel: »Ženska, kje so ti tvoji tožniki? Ali te nihče ni obsodil?«
11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and henceforth sin no more.
Rekla je: »Noben človek, Gospod.« In Jezus ji je rekel: »Niti te jaz ne obsojam. Pojdi in ne greši več.«
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.
Potem jim je Jezus ponovno spregovoril, rekoč: »Jaz sem svetloba sveta. Kdor sledi meni, ne bo hodil v temi, temveč bo imel svetlobo življenja.«
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy testimony is not valid.
Farizeji so mu torej rekli: »Ti prinašaš pričevanje o sebi; tvoje pričevanje ni resnično.«
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.
Jezus je odgovoril in jim rekel: »Četudi pričujem o samem sebi, je vendarle moje pričevanje resnično, kajti jaz vem, od kod sem prišel in kam grem, toda vi ne morete povedati, od kod sem prišel in kam grem.
15 Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man.
Vi sodite po mesu; jaz ne sodim nobenega človeka.
16 But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
Če pa vendarle sodim, je moja sodba resnična, kajti nisem sam, temveč jaz in Oče, ki me je poslal.
17 And also it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is valid.
Tudi v vaši postavi je zapisano, da je pričevanje dveh ljudi resnično.
18 I am he who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.
Jaz sem nekdo, ki pričuje o samem sebi in Oče, ki me je poslal, prinaša pričevanje o meni.«
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.
Tedaj so mu rekli: »Kje je tvoj Oče?« Jezus je odgovoril: »Vi ne poznate niti mene niti mojega Očeta. Če bi poznali mene, bi poznali tudi mojega Očeta.«
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.
Te besede je Jezus govoril v zakladnici, medtem ko je učil v templju. In nanj noben človek ni položil rok, kajti njegova ura še ni prišla.
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.
Potem jim je Jezus ponovno rekel: »Jaz grem svojo pot in iskali me boste in umrli boste v svojih grehih. Kamor grem jaz, vi ne morete priti.«
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, ye cannot come?
Tedaj so Judje rekli: »Ali bo samega sebe ubil, ker pravi: ›Kamor grem jaz, vi ne morete priti.‹«
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.
In rekel jim je: »Vi ste od spodaj, jaz sem od zgoraj; vi ste od tega sveta, jaz nisem od tega sveta.
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.
Povedal sem vam torej, da boste umrli v svojih grehih; kajti če ne verujete, da jaz sem, boste umrli v svojih grehih.«
25 They said therefore to him, Who are thou? And Jesus said to them, The beginning, something that I am even telling you.
Tedaj so mu rekli: »Kdo si?« In Jezus jim reče: »Celo isti, kakor sem vam povedal od začetka.
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.
Povedati vam imam mnogo besed in soditi o vas, toda tisti, ki me je poslal, je resničen in svetu govorim te besede, ki sem jih slišal od njega.«
27 They did not understand that he spoke the Father to them.
Niso pa razumeli, da jim je govoril o Očetu.
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.
Tedaj jim je Jezus rekel: »Ko boste povzdignili Sina človekovega, potem boste spoznali, da jaz sem in da ničesar ne delam sam od sebe, temveč te stvari govorim, kakor me je naučil moj Oče.
29 And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.
In tisti, ki me je poslal, je z menoj. Oče me ni pustil samega, kajti vedno delam te stvari, ki mu ugajajo.«
30 As he spoke these things of him, many believed in him.
Ko je govoril te besede, so mnogi verovali vanj.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples,
Tem Judom, ki so verovali vanj, je tedaj Jezus rekel: »Če ostanete v moji besedi, potem ste zares moji učenci
32 and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
in spoznali boste resnico in resnica vas bo osvobodila.«
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?
Odgovorili so mu: »Mi smo Abrahamovo seme in nikoli nismo bili nobenemu človeku v suženjstvu. Kako praviš: ›Osvobojeni boste?‹«
34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, that every man who does the sin is a bondman of the sin.
Jezus jim je odgovoril: »Resnično, resnično, povem vam: ›Kdorkoli zagreši greh, je služabnik greha.
35 And the bondman does not remain in the house into the age. The Son remains into the age. (aiōn g165)
In služabnik v hiši ne ostaja za vedno, toda Sin ostaja večno. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son should make you free, ye will truly be free.
Če vas bo torej Sin osvobodil, boste zares svobodni.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed, yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
Vem, da ste Abrahamovo seme, toda vi si prizadevate, da me ubijete, ker moja beseda v vas nima prostora.
38 I speak what I have seen from my Father, and ye therefore do what ye have seen from your father.
Jaz govorim to, kar sem videl pri svojem Očetu, vi pa delate to, kar ste videli pri svojem očetu.‹«
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.
Odgovorili so in mu rekli: »Naš oče je Abraham.« Jezus jim reče: »Če bi bili Abrahamovi otroci, bi delali Abrahamova dela.
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.
Toda sedaj si prizadevate, da me ubijete, človeka, ki vam je povedal resnico, ki sem jo slišal od Boga. Tega Abraham ni storil.
41 Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We were not begotten from fornication. We have one Father, God.
Vi opravljate dela svojega očeta.« Tedaj so mu rekli: »Mi nismo rojeni iz prešuštva; mi imamo enega Očeta, celó Boga.«
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.
Jezus jim je rekel: »Če bi bil vaš Oče Bog, bi me ljubili, kajti jaz sem izšel in sem prišel od Boga; niti nisem prišel sam od sebe, temveč me je on poslal.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
Zakaj ne razumete mojega govora? Zato ker celó ne morete poslušati moje besede.
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.
Vi ste od svojega očeta, hudiča in počeli boste poželjivosti svojega očeta. On je bil od začetka morilec in ni ostal v resnici, ker v njem ni resnice. Ko govori laž, govori iz svojega lastnega, kajti on je lažnivec in oče le-te.
45 And I, because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
In ker vam govorim resnico, mi ne verjamete.
46 Which of you convicts me about sin? And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
Kdo izmed vas me prepričuje o grehu? Če pa govorim resnico, zakaj mi ne verjamete?
47 He who is of God hears the sayings of God. Because of this ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
Kdor je iz Boga, posluša Božje besede. Vi jih torej ne poslušate, ker niste iz Boga.«
48 Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
Tedaj so Judje odgovorili in mu rekli: »Ali ne govorimo prav, da si Samarijan in imaš hudiča?«
49 Jesus answered, I have no demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
Jezus je odgovoril: »Jaz nimam hudiča, temveč častim svojega Očeta, vi pa me onečaščate.
50 But I seek not my own glory. He is who seeks and judges.
In ne iščem svoje lastne slave; obstaja nekdo, ki išče in sodi.
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keeps my word, he will, no, not see death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
Resnično, resnično, povem vam: ›Če se človek drži moje besede, nikoli ne bo videl smrti.‹« (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)
Tedaj so mu Judje rekli: »Torej, mi vemo, da imaš hudiča. Abraham je mrtev in preroki; ti pa praviš: ›Če se človek drži moje besede, nikoli ne bo okusil smrti.‹ (aiōn g165)
53 Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself?
Ali si ti večji kakor naš oče Abraham, ki je mrtev? In tudi preroki so mrtvi. Koga se ti sam delaš?«
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.
Jezus je odgovoril: »Če jaz častim samega sebe, moja čast ni nič. Moj Oče je ta, ki me časti, o katerem vi pravite, da je on vaš Bog.
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.
Vendarle ga vi niste spoznali, toda jaz ga poznam. In če bi rekel: ›Ne poznam ga, ‹ bi bil lažnivec, podoben vam. Toda jaz ga poznam in se držim njegove besede.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he could see my day, and he saw it, and was glad.
Vaš oče Abraham se je razveselil, da vidi moj dan. In videl ga je in je bil vesel.«
57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham?
Tedaj so mu Judje rekli: »Še petdeset let nisi star in si videl Abrahama?«
58 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am.
Jezus jim je rekel: »Resnično, resnično, povem vam: ›Preden je bil Abraham, jaz sem.‹«
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.
Tedaj so pobrali kamne, da bi jih vrgli vanj, toda Jezus se je skril in odšel iz templja, gredoč skozi njihovo sredo in tako odšel mimo.
