< John 8 >

1 THEN Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
Vbvrikunamv nyichar mvnwngngv naam bv vngnya toku, vbvritola Jisu Olib Moodw bv chaatoku.
2 But early in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people came to him; and sitting down he taught them.
Alu logonvgv arukamchibv nw Pwknvyarnvnaam bv vngkur toku. Nyi mvnwngngv vngkumla ninyia vngyumto, okv nw dootung tvvla bunua tamsar sarrap toku.
3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery; and placing her in the midst,
Pvbv tamsarnv vdwv okv Parisis vdwv nyimv ako yoomur nvgo naatungla boolwk nyato, okv bunu nyimv nvnga mvnwng gv kaagialo dakmuto.
4 they say unto him, Master, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.
Bunu Jisunyi minto, “Tamsarnv, so nyimv angv yoomurla rila donv nga naatung pvnv.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded, that such women should be stoned: therefore what sayest thou?
Ngonugv Pvbv lo Moses gamkito svkvnv nyimv nga vlwngngv orkidubv. Vjak, no ogu vla mindunv?”
6 But this they said, trying to entrap him, that they might have ground of accusation against him. But Jesus stooping down, with his finger wrote on the ground.
Bunugv svbv minam si Jisunyi minkup gvrila gungnying lwkdubv vla minto. Vbvritola hv dumpo bawng gvrila ninyigv lakching lokv kvdwlo akor lvkminla dooyasuto.
7 Now when they continued questioning him, raising himself up, he said to them, Let the person who is sinless among you, first cast a stone at her.
Bunu hoka daktola ninyia tvula tvvka dvdvnyato, hv mvngrwpala yikula baarapla bunua minto, “Nonu gv lokv akonv yvvla rimur rima pvnv hv ninyia vlwng orcholaka.”
8 And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
Vbvrikunamv nw lvkodv dumpo bawng gvrila kvdw lo lvkminto.
9 But when they heard him, and felt the conviction of their conscience, they slunk away one by one, beginning from the elders to the last: so Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing in the midst.
Vdwlo bunu sum tvvtokudw, bunu abwngyachok v vngcho gvlaila akin akinbv mvnwngngv vngyu nyatoku. Jisunyi akin dookubv okv nyimv nvngaka hoka dakbwng dubv bunu vngyu nyatoku.
10 Then Jesus raising himself up, and seeing no person but the woman, said unto her, Woman, where are these thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
Hv atubongv mvngrw laila baarapla nyimv anga tvvkato, “Ogolo bunu? Nam miakaya jinv akoka dooku mai?”
11 She said, No man, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Nw mirwksito, “Tamsarnv,” akoka dookuma. Vbvrikunamv, alvdo, Jisu minto, “Ngo ka nam miakaya madunv. Vngnyikuka, vbvritola lvkodv rimur kumabvka.”
12 Then spake Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Jisu Parisis vdwa lvkodv mindvto. Nw minto, “Ngo nyiamooku gv loung ngv, yvvdw nga vngming gvdunv hv singnamlo loung yayabv rire okv vdwloka kanv arwnglo vngkar mare.”
13 The Pharisees said to him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
Parisis vdwv ninyia minto, “Vjak no atubogv lvgabv minsudo; no ogugo mindudw anyung kaama.”
14 Jesus answered and said to them, Though I do bear witness of myself, my witness is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I am going.
Jisu mirwksito, “Ma, ngo atubogv lvkwng nga minsu jvka, ngo ogugo mindudw hv jvjv ngv, ogulvgavbolo ngo chinsudo ngo ogolokv aapvnvdw okv ngo ogolo vngtv tvdunvdw. Nonu chima ngo ogolokv aapvnvdw vmalo ngo ogolo vngtv tvdunvdw.
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
Nonu ngam nyi adwnayak lokv chingching bv jwngkadakado; ngo yvvnyika jwngkadaka mapvnv.
16 But though I should judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
Vbvritola ngo vbvrinam gubv rinv guilo, ngoogv jwngkadaka namv jvjvre, ogulvgavbolo so ngo akin mwngma; ngam vngmunv Abu ka ngam lvkobv reming gvdu.
17 Now even in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.
So si nonugv Pvbv lo lvkpv vdwlo kayatayanv anyi gonv tolwk minsu bolo, bunu ogugo minpvdw hv jvjv ngv,
18 I am a witness for myself, and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me.
Ngo atubogv lvgabv minsudo okv ngam vngmunv Abu ka ngoogv lvgabv mindvdo.”
19 Then said they to him, Where is thy father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.
Bunu tvvkato, “Ogolo no gv abu?” Jisu mirwksito, “Nonu ngamla ngoogv Abu nyika chima, nonu ngam chinv guilo, ngoogv Abu nyika nonu chinre.”
20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no person apprehended him; for his hour was not yet come.
Jisu so mvnwngnga minto, Pwknvyarnvnaam lo karchung arwng lo morko lwkku jampa vvpvku hoka ninyigv tamsar sarnam aingbv. Okv yvvka ninyia naatung mato, ogulvgavbolo ninyigv dw ngv aatv madvto.
21 Then spake Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I am going ye cannot come.
Jisu lvkodv bunua minto, “Ngo vngro reku: nonu ngam kaakar reku, vbvritola nonu nonugv rimurlo silwk reku. Nonu vngnyu mare ngoogv vngkulo.”
22 The Jews said therefore, Will he kill himself? because he said, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
Jius nyi kainv vdwv minto, “Hv mindu ninyigv vngjikolo ngonu vngnyu mare vla. Svbv minam si hv atubongv mvki sidubv mindu nvgo bri?”
23 And he said to them, Ye are from those beneath; I am from those above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
Jisu mirwkto, “Nonu so lvkwng gv Sichingmooku so gvngv, vbvritola ngo ao tolokv inv ngv. Nonu so Sichingmooku so gvngv, vbvritola ngo so Sichingmooku gvngvma.
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.
Vkvlvgabv ngo nonua minpa pvkunv nonuno silwkre nonugv rimurlo. Okv nonu sireku nonugv rimurlo vdwlo nonu ‘Ngo Yvvkudw Ngo’ um nonu mvngjwng maridw.”
25 They said, therefore to him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Assuredly the same as I am telling you.
Bunu tvvkato, “No yvvla?” Jisu mirwksito, “Atuk lokv ngo nonua ogugo minpvdw.
26 I have many things to speak and to decide concerning you: but he that sent me is true; and the things which I have heard from him I speak to the world.
Ngo nonugv lvga nga minse ngv awgo doodu, awgo nonua mia sengv. Ngam vngmunv angv, ogubv rijeka jvjv ngv, okv ngo nyiamookua mintamdu ninyi gvlo tvvnam dvdv nga mwngchik.”
27 They knew not that he spake to them of the Father.
Bunu Jisunyi ninyigv Abu gv lvga nga bunua mindunv vla tvchin mato.
28 Then said Jesus to them, When ye shall have lifted up on high the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am, and of myself have I done nothing; but as the Father hath instructed me, so I speak.
Vkvlvgabv hv bunua minto, “Vdwlo nonu Nyia Kuunyilo nga tungcha rikudw, ho nonu chinre ‘Ngo Yvvkudw Ngo;’ vbvrikubolo nonu chireku ngo atunvgv chinampanam lokv oguguka rima, vbvritola ngo mindu Abu gv mintoka vla minam a ngo mimwngdunv.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; because I always do the things acceptable to him.
Okv yvvdw ngam vngmunv hv ngam lvkobv redunv; hv ngam akinbv kayuma, ogulvgavbolo ngo lokia ninyigv mvnglwkbv ridunv.”
30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
Achialv nvgo Jisunyi so mvnwng sum mindubv tvvnv vdwv mvngjwng nyatoku.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye abide in my word, assuredly ye are my disciples;
Vkvlvgabv Jisu ninyia mvngjwngnv vdwa minto, “Nonu ngoogv tamsar nama tvvnvrinv gubv ribolo, nonu jvjvbv ngoogv lvbwlaksu v;
32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
nonu jvjv nga chinreku okv jvjv ngv nonua ajarabi moriku.”
33 They answered him, We are Abraham’s seed, and never were in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, That we shall be made free?
“Ngonu Abraham gv husi hv,” bunu mirwkto, “okv ngonu yvv gvka nyirabv rikw manv. Vbvrinamv noogv nonua ajarabi kunam gubv mvreku vla minammv oguv?”
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, That every one who committeth sin is the slave of sin.
Jisu bunua minto, “Ngo jvjv nga nonua minjidunv: nyichar mvnwngngv yvvdw rimur dunv hv rimur gv nyirabv ridunv.
35 But the slave abideth not in the family for ever: but the son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Nyira ngv vpinlo doobwng madunv, vbvritola kuunyilo ngv doobwng nvgobv ridunv. (aiōn g165)
36 If the Son therefore make you free, ye will be truly free.
Kuunyilo ngv nonua ringlin mooku bolo, vbvrikunamv nonu jvjvrungbv ajarabi kunamv.
37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
Ngo chindu nonu Abraham gv husi hv. Vbvrirung gvrila nonu ngam mvki dubv rikwdo, ogulvgavbolo nonu ngoogv tamsar nama torwk simare.
38 I speak what I have seen with my Father: and ye do therefore what ye have seen with your father.
Ngo, ngoogv abu ogugo kaatam pvdw ho lvgabv mindunv, vbvritola nonu ridu nonugv abu nonua ogugo minpv pvdw.”
39 They answered and said unto him, Our Father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would have done the works of Abraham.
Bunu mirwkto, “Ngonugv abuv Abraham.” Jisu mirwksito, “Nonu jvjvbv Abraham gv Kuu gubolo, nonuka hv ogugo ripvdw ho apiabv rire.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God. Abraham did not so.
Ngoogv rinam mvnwngngv ngo ogugo Pwknvyarnv gvlokv tvvpvdw nonua jvjv nga minji dubv vla ripvnv, vjvka nonu ngam mvkidubv rikwdo. Abraham svkv aingbv rimato!
41 Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We are not born of whoredom; we have one Father, even God.
Nonu nonugv abu gv rinam apiabv ridungdo.” “Pwknvyarnv mvngchik ngonugv Abu doonv ngv,” bunu mirwkto, “okv ngonu ninyigv kuunyilo jvjv ngv.”
42 Then said Jesus unto them, If God was your Father, ye would have loved me: for I came out from God, and I am coming; neither indeed came I of myself, but he hath sent me.
Jisu bunua minto, “Jvjvbv Pwknvyarnv nonugv Abu bv rinv guilo, nonu ngam ayare, ogulvgavbolo ngo Pwknvyarnv gvlokv aanv ngv okv vjak ngo si doodu. Ngo atubogv jwkrw lokv aasuma vbvritola hv nga vngmupvnv.
43 Wherefore do ye not understand my speech? because ye cannot hear my word.
Ngo ogugo mindudw nonu ogubv chima dunv? So si ogulvgavbolo nonu ngoogv doin ha tvvya nwngmado.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will practise. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not fast in the truth, because truth was not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh what is peculiarly his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Nonuno Uyudvbv gv kuu ngv, okv nonu abu gv mvngjimvngro kolo rinwngnv. Atuk lokv hv gwngrw gwnv okv vdwloka jvjvgv takbv aakw manv, ogulvgavbolo hoka ninyigvlo jvjv achuk guka dooma. Vdwlo nw mvridw, nw ninyigv riching bv ridunv, ogulvgavbolo nw mvkinv okv mvnv mvnwng gv abuv.
45 But because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Vbvritola ngo jvjv nga minjidu, vkvlvgabv nonu ngam mwngjwng madunv.
46 Which of you can convict me of sin? Now if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Nonu gvlokv akonv yvvla ngam rimur nvgobv vla gungnying lwkla gaknyu jinv? Ngo jvjv nga mindu bolo, vbvrikunamv nonu ogubv ngam tvvjing madunv?
47 He that is of God heareth the words of God: ye therefore do not hear him, because ye are not of God.
Yvvdw Pwknvyarnv gvlokv aadunv Pwknvyarnv gv gamchar vdwa tvvdunv. Nonu, ogubvrijeka, Pwknvyarnv lokvma, okv vkvlvgabv nonuno tvya madunv.”
48 Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Do we not rightly affirm, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Bunu Jisunyi tvvkato, “Ngonugv nam samaritan go okv no uyuvram gvnvgo vla minam v minjwk mapvnvre?”
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
Jisu mirwksito, “Ngoogvlo uyuvram dooma, ngo Abunyi mvngdv dunv okv nonu ngam miakaya dunv.
50 But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Ngo atubogv lvgabv mvngdvnam makar madunv. Vbvritola hoka um makarnv ako doodu okv hv ngogvbv jwngkadakayadu.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any man observe my saying, he shall never see death to all eternity. (aiōn g165)
Ngo jvjv nga nonua minjidunv: yvvdw ngoogv tamsar nama tvvdunv hv vdwloka simare.” (aiōn g165)
52 Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any man observe my word, he shall never taste of death to eternity. (aiōn g165)
Bunu ninyia minto, “Vjak ngonu jvjvbv mvngduku no gvlo uyuvram doorungdo! Abraham siroku, okv nyijwk vdwvka siroku, vjvka no mindu yvvdw no gv tamsar nama tvvrinv hv vdwloka simare vla. (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
Ngonugv abu Abraham siroku; no Abrahamnyi kaiyanv gubv mvngsu dunvre? Okv nyijwk vdwvka siroku. No atuv yvv vla mvngsudunv?”
54 Jesus answered, If I assume glory to myself, my glory is nothing: it is the Father who glorifies me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
“Ngo atuv mvngdv subolo, ho mvngdv namv ogu arv doomare. Ngam mvngdvnv angv ngoogv Abu—nonugv Pwknvyarnv vla minam angv.
55 yet have ye not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, that I know him not, I should be like you, a liar: but I know him, and observe his word.
Nonu vdwloka ninyia chimato, vbvritola ngo ninyia chindu. Ngo ninyia chima vla minbolo, ngo nonugv apiabv mvvki nvgobv ripvnvpv. Vbvritola ngo ninyia chirung dunv, okv ninyigv gamchar a tvvdunv.
56 Your father Abraham exulted for joy that he should see this day of mine: and saw it, and rejoiced.
Nonugv abu Abraham ngoogv aaji nama kaanwngla mvngpula kaacho toku okv himpu toku.”
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou hast not yet reached the age of fifty, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Bunu ninyia minto, “No vjak anying chamngu goka svngtv madv—okv no Abrahamnyi kaapv nvlv?”
58 Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham had a being, I Am.
Jisu mirwksito, “Ngo jvjv nga nonua minjidunv, Abrahamnyi bvngtv madvbv, ‘Ngoonv.’”
59 Then took they up stones to hurl at him: but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, passing through the midst of them, and so went away.
Vbvrikunamv bunu ninyia vlwng ordubv vla naarap toku, vbvritola Jisu atubongv tosisito okv Pwknvyarnvnaam a vngyu toku.
