< John 8 >

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
[नोटः यूहन्‍ना ७:५३-८:११ को टिप्पणीबारे माथि हेर्नुहोस्, येशू जैतून डाँडामा जानुभयो । ]
2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
बिहानै सबेरै उहाँ फेरि मन्दिरमा आउनुभयो, र सबै मानिसहरू आए; उहाँ बस्‍नुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई सिकाउनुभयो ।
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
शास्‍त्री र फरिसीहरूले व्यभिचारको काममा पक्राउ परेकी एउटी स्‍त्री ल्याए । तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई बिचमा राखे ।
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
[नोटः यूहन्‍ना ७:५३-८:११ को टिप्‍णीबारे माथि हेर्नुहोस्], त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले येशूलाई भने, “गुरुज्यू, यो स्‍त्री व्यभिचारको काममा पक्राउ परेकी छे ।
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
व्यवस्थामा मोशाले यस्ता मानिसलाई ढुङ्गाले हान्‍ने आज्ञा दिएका छन्; यिनको विषयमा तपाईं के भन्‍नुहुन्छ?”
6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
तिनीहरूले येशूलाई फन्दामा पार्नलाई यसो भनेका थिए, ताकि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई केही कुराको बारेमा दोष लगाउन सकून्, तर येशू निहुरेर आफ्नो औँलाले जमिनमा लेख्‍नुभयो ।
7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
[नोट यूहन्‍ना ७:५३-८:११ को टिप्‍णीबारे माथि हेर्नुहोस्], जब तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई निरन्तर सोधिरहे, उहाँ खडा हुनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरूमध्ये पापविनाको जो छ ढुङ्गाले हान्‍नमा त्यही नै पहिलो होस् ।”
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
उहाँ फेरि निहुरनुभयो र आफ्नो औँलाले जमिनमा लेख्‍नुभयो ।
9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
[नोट यूहन्‍ना ७:५३-८:११ को टिप्‍णीबारे माथि हेर्नुहोस्], जब तिनीहरूले यो सुने, ठुलादेखि सुरु गरेर एक-एक गर्दै तिनीहरू गए । अन्तमा माझमा राखिएकी ती स्‍त्रीसँग येशू मात्र छोडिनुभएको थियो ।
10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
येशू खडा हुनुभयो र त्यसलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हे नारी, तिमीलाई दोष लगाउनेहरू कहाँ छन्? के कसैले तिमीलाई दण्‍ड दिएन?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
त्यसले भनी, “कसैले दिएन, प्रभु” येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “न त म पनि तिमीलाई दण्ड दिन्छु । जाऊ, र कुनै पाप नगर ।” ]
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
फेरि येशूले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्‍नुभयो, “म संसारको ज्योति हुँ, मलाई पछ्याउने अन्धकारमा हिँड्‌डुल गर्नेछैन, तर त्यसले जीवनको ज्योति पाउनेछ ।”
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
फरिसीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “तिमी आफैँ आफ्नो बारेमा गवाही दिइरहेका छौ; तिम्रो गवाही सत्य होइन ।”
14 Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I am going.
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, र भन्‍नुभयो, “म आफैँले आफ्नो बारेमा गवाही दिए तापनि मेरो गवाही सत्य छ । म जान्दछु, कि म कहाँबाट आएँ र म कहाँ जाँदै छु, तर म कहाँबाट आएँ र कहाँ जाँदै छु, तिमीहरू जान्दैनौ ।
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
तिमीहरू शरीरअनुसार न्याय गर्छौ, तर म कसैको न्याय गर्दिनँ ।
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
तैपनि मैले न्याय गरेँ भने मेरो न्याय सत्य हुन्छ, किनकि म एकलै छैनँ, तर म मलाई पठाउनुहुने पितासँग छु ।
17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
हो, दुई जना मानिसको गवाही सत्य हुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूको व्यवस्थामा लेखिएको छ ।
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
मेरो आफ्नैबारे गवाही दिने म नै हुँ, र मलाई पठाउनुहुने मेरा पिताले मेरो बारेमा गवाही दिनुहुन्छ ।”
19 They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “तिम्रा पिता कहाँ छन्?” येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “तिमीहरूले न मलाई न त मेरा पितालाई चिन्छौ, तिमीहरूले मलाई चिनेका थियौ भने तिमीहरूले मेरा पितालाई पनि चिनेका हुन्थ्यौ ।”
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
उहाँले मन्दिरमा सिकाउनुहुँदा यी वचनहरू ढुकुटीमा भन्‍नुभयो र कसैले उहाँलाई पक्रेन, किनभने उहाँको समय अझै आएको थिएन ।
21 Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come.”
त्यसैले, उहाँले फेरि तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “म जाँदै छु; तिमीहरूले मलाई खोज्‍नेछौ । र तिमीहरूको पापमा मर्नेछौ । जहाँ म जाँदै छु, त्यहाँ तिमीहरू आउन सक्दैनौ ।”
22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
यहूदीहरूले भने, “के यसले आफैँलाई मार्नेछ? के यसले त्यसैले ‘म जहाँ जाँदै छु, त्यहाँ तिमीहरू आउन सक्दैनौ’ भनेको हो?”
23 He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरू तलका हौ, म माथिको हुँ । तिमीहरू यस संसारका हौ, म यस संसारको होइनँ ।
24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
यसकारण म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, तिमीहरू आफ्नो पापमा नै मर्नेछौ, किनभने म उही हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले विश्‍वास नगरेसम्म तिमीहरू आफ्नो पापमा नै मर्नेछौ ।”
25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
यसकारण तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने “तिमी को हौ?” येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मैले तिमीहरूलाई सुरुदेखि जे भनेको छु, म उही हुँ ।
26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”
मैले तिमीहरूबारे भन्‍नु र न्याय गर्नु धेरै छ, तापनि मलाई पठाउनुहुने सत्य हनुहुन्छ, र मैले उहाँबाट सुनेका यी कुराहरू नै म संसारलाई भन्छु ।”
27 They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
उहाँले पिताको बारेमा कुरा गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ भनी तिनीहरूले बुझेनन् ।
28 Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले मानिसका पुत्रलाई माथि उचालेपछि म उही हुँ र म आफैँ केही पनि गर्दिनँ भन्‍ने तिमीहरूले जान्‍नेछौ । जसरी पिताले मलाई यी कुराहरू सिकाउनुभयो, त्यसरी नै म यी कुराहरू बोल्छु ।
29 He who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
मलाई पठाउनुहुने मसँग हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँले मलाई एकलै छाड्नुभएको छैन, किनभने म सदैव उहाँलाई प्रसन्‍न पार्ने काम गर्छु ।”
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
येशूले यी कुराहरू भन्दै गर्नुहुँदा धेरैले उहाँमा विश्‍वास गरे ।
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
येशूले उहाँमा विश्‍वास गर्ने यहूदीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यदि तिमीहरू मेरो वचनमा रहिरह्‍यौ भने तिमीहरू साँच्‍चै मेरा चेलाहरू हौ;
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
र तिमीहरूले सत्य जन्‍नेछौ, र सत्यले तिमीहरूलाई स्वतन्‍त्र पार्नेछ ।”
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिए, “हामी अब्राहामका सन्तानहरू हौँ र कहिल्यै कसैको दास भएका छैनौँ; ‘तिमीहरू स्वतन्‍त्र पारिनेछौ’ भनी तिमीले कसरी भन्‍न सक्‍छौ ।”
34 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍छु, प्रत्येक जसले पाप गर्छ, त्यो पापको दास हो ।
35 A bondservant does not live in the house for life (aiōn g165). A son remains for a lifetime (aiōn g165).
दास सधैँभरि घरमा रहँदैन, तर पुत्र भने सधैँभरि नै रहन्छ । (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
यसकारण, पुत्रले तिमीहरूलाई स्वतन्‍त्र पार्‍यो भने तिमीहरू साँच्‍चै स्वतन्‍त्र हुनेछौ ।
37 I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
म जान्दछु, कि तिमीहरू अब्राहामका सन्तानहरू हौ र तिमीहरू मलाई मार्न खोज्छौ, किनभने तिमीहरूमा मेरो वचनको निम्ति ठाउँ छैन ।
38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
मैले मेरा पितासँग जे देखेको छु म त्यही भन्छु, र तिमीहरू पनि तिमीहरूका पिताबाट जे सुनेका छौ त्यही गर्दछौ ।”
39 They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिए, र भने, “हाम्रा पिता अब्राहाम हुन् ।” येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यदि तिमीहरू अब्राहामका सन्तानहरू हुँदा हौ त, तिमीहरूले अब्राहामका कामहरू गर्ने थियौ ।
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
तैपनि अहिले तिमीहरू मलाई अर्थात् तिमीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरबाट सुनेको सत्य बताउने मानिसलाई मार्न खोज्दछौ । अब्राहामले यस्तो गरेनन् ।
41 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
तिमीहरू तिमीहरूका पिताका कामहरू गर्छौ ।” तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “हामीहरू व्यभिचारमा जन्मिएका थिएनौँ; हाम्रा एक पिता परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ ।”
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I have not come of myself, but he sent me.
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यदि परमेश्‍वर तिमीहरूका पिता हुनुहुन्थ्यो भने, तिमीहरूले मलाई प्रेम गर्ने थियौ, किनकि म परमेश्‍वरबाट आएँ, र यहाँ छु, म आफ्नै तर्फबाट आएको होइनँ, तर उहाँले मलाई पठाउनुभयो ।
43 Why do not you understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
तिमीहरू मेरा वचनहरू किन बुझ्दैनौ? किनभने तिमीहरू मेरो वचन सुन्‍न सक्दैनौ ।
44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
तिमीहरू आफ्ना पिता अर्थात् शैतानका हौ, र तिमीहरू तिमीहरूका पिताको इच्छा पुरा गर्ने इच्छा गर्छौ । त्यो सुरुदेखि नै हत्यारा थियो र त्यो सत्यमा खडा हुँदैन, किनकि त्यसमा सत्य छैन । जब त्यसले झुट बोल्छ, त्यो आफ्नै स्वभावबाट बोल्छ, किनकि त्यो झुट र झुटको पिता हो ।
45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
म सत्य बोल्छु, तापनि तिमीहरू मलाई विश्‍वास गर्दैनौ ।
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
तिमीहरूमध्ये कसले मलाई पापको दोष लगाउँछ? यदि म सत्य बोल्छु भने, तिमीहरू मलाई किन विश्‍वास गर्दैनौ?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
जो परमेश्‍वरको हो त्यसले परमेश्‍वरको वचन सुन्छ; तिमीहरू ती सुन्दैनौ, किनभने तिमीहरू परमेश्‍वरका होइनौ ।”
48 Then the Jews answered him, “Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
यहूदीहरूले जवाफ दिए, र उहाँलाई भने, “के ‘तिमी सामरी हौ, र तिमीलाई भूत लागेको छ’ भनी हामीले भनेको साँचो होइन र?”
49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “मलाई भूत लागेको छैन, तर म मेरा पितालाई आदर गर्छु, र तिमीहरू मलाई अनादर गर्छौ ।
50 But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
म आफ्नो महिमा खोज्दिनँ; खोज्‍ने र न्याय गर्ने एक जना हुनुहुन्छ ।
51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death in this age (aiōn g165)."
म तिमीहरूलाई साँचो, साँचो भन्दछु, यदि कसैले मेरो वचन पालना गर्छ भने, त्यसले कहिल्यै मृत्यु देख्‍नेछैन ।” (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death in this age (aiōn g165).'
यहूदीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “अब हामी जान्दछौँ, कि तिमीलाई भूत लागेको छ । अब्राहाम र अगमवक्‍ताहरू मरे, तर तिमी भन्छौ ‘यदि कसैले मेरो वचन पालन गर्छ भने त्यसले कहिल्यै मृत्यु चाख्‍नेछैन ।’ (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
तिमी हाम्रा मरेका पिता अब्राहामभन्दा महान् होइनौ, हौ त? अगमवक्‍ताहरू पनि मरे । तिमी आफैँचाहिँ को हुँ भनी ठान्छौ?”
54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “यदि म आफैँले आफ्नो महिमा गरेँ भने मेरो महिमा केही पनि होइन । मलाई महिमित पार्नुहुने मेरा पिता हुनुहुन्छ, जसलाई तिमीहरू तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर भन्दछौ ।
55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I do not know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.
तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई चिनेका छैनौ, तर म उहाँलाई चिन्छु । यदि मैले ‘म उहाँलाई चिन्दिनँ’ भन्छु भने म झुटजस्तै हुन्थेँ । तापनि म उहाँलाई चिन्दछु र उहाँको वचन पालन गर्दछु ।
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
तिमीहरूका पिता अब्राहाम मेरा दिन देखेर रमाए र उनले यो देखे, र खुसी भए ।
57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
यहूदीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “तिमी पचास वर्ष पनि भएका छैनौ, र के तिमीले अब्राहामलाई देखेका छौ?”
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “म तिमीहरूलाई साँचो, साँचो भन्दछु, अब्राहाम हुनुभन्दा अगिदेखि नै म छँदै छु ।”
59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.
तब तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई हान्‍नलाई ढुङ्गा टिपे, तर येशू आफैँ लुक्‍नुभयो, र मन्दिरबाट बाहिर जानुभयो ।
