John 8
1 And at dawn He came again to the temple [courts],
pratyUSE yIzuH panarmandiram Agacchat
2 and all the people were coming to Him, and having sat down, He was teaching them;
tataH sarvvESu lOkESu tasya samIpa AgatESu sa upavizya tAn upadESTum Arabhata|
3 and the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
tadA adhyApakAH phirUzinanjca vyabhicArakarmmaNi dhRtaM striyamEkAm Aniya sarvvESAM madhyE sthApayitvA vyAharan
4 they say to Him, “Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime [of] committing adultery,
hE gurO yOSitam imAM vyabhicArakarmma kurvvANAM lOkA dhRtavantaH|
5 and in the Law, Moses commanded us that such be stoned; You, therefore, what do You say?”
EtAdRzalOkAH pASANAghAtEna hantavyA iti vidhirmUsAvyavasthAgranthE likhitOsti kintu bhavAn kimAdizati?
6 And this they said, trying Him, that they might have to accuse Him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger He was writing on the ground,
tE tamapavadituM parIkSAbhiprAyENa vAkyamidam apRcchan kintu sa prahvIbhUya bhUmAvaggalyA lEkhitum Arabhata|
7 and when they continued asking Him, having bent Himself back, He said to them, “The sinless of you—let him cast the first stone at her”;
tatastaiH punaH punaH pRSTa utthAya kathitavAn yuSmAkaM madhyE yO janO niraparAdhI saEva prathamam EnAM pASANEnAhantu|
8 and again having stooped down, He was writing on the ground,
pazcAt sa punazca prahvIbhUya bhUmau lEkhitum Arabhata|
9 and they having heard, and being convicted by the conscience, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders—to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
tAM kathaM zrutvA tE svasvamanasi prabOdhaM prApya jyESThAnukramaM EkaikazaH sarvvE bahiragacchan tatO yIzurEkAkI tayakttObhavat madhyasthAnE daNPAyamAnA sA yOSA ca sthitA|
10 And Jesus having bent Himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, “Woman, where are those—your accusers? Did no one pass sentence on you?”
tatpazcAd yIzurutthAya tAM vanitAM vinA kamapyaparaM na vilOkya pRSTavAn hE vAmE tavApavAdakAH kutra? kOpi tvAM kiM na daNPayati?
11 And she said, “No one, Lord”; and Jesus said to her, “Neither do I pass sentence on you; be going on, and sin no more.”]]
sAvadat hE mahEccha kOpi na tadA yIzuravOcat nAhamapi daNPayAmi yAhi punaH pApaM mAkArSIH|
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I AM the light of the world; he who is following Me will not walk in the darkness, but he will have the light of life.”
tatO yIzuH punarapi lOkEbhya itthaM kathayitum Arabhata jagatOhaM jyOtiHsvarUpO yaH kazcin matpazcAda gacchati sa timirE na bhramitvA jIvanarUpAM dIptiM prApsyati|
13 The Pharisees, therefore, said to Him, “You testify of Yourself, Your testimony is not true”;
tataH phirUzinO'vAdiSustvaM svArthE svayaM sAkSyaM dadAsi tasmAt tava sAkSyaM grAhyaM na bhavati|
14 Jesus answered and said to them, “And if I testify of Myself—My testimony is true, because I have known from where I came, and to where I go, and you have not known from where I come, or to where I go.
tadA yIzuH pratyuditavAn yadyapi svArthE'haM svayaM sAkSyaM dadAmi tathApi mat sAkSyaM grAhyaM yasmAd ahaM kuta AgatOsmi kva yAmi ca tadahaM jAnAmi kintu kuta AgatOsmi kutra gacchAmi ca tad yUyaM na jAnItha|
15 You judge according to the flesh; I do not judge anyone,
yUyaM laukikaM vicArayatha nAhaM kimapi vicArayAmi|
16 and even if I do judge My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me;
kintu yadi vicArayAmi tarhi mama vicArO grahItavyO yatOham EkAkI nAsmi prErayitA pitA mayA saha vidyatE|
17 and also in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true;
dvayO rjanayOH sAkSyaM grahaNIyaM bhavatIti yuSmAkaM vyavasthAgranthE likhitamasti|
18 I am [One] who is testifying of Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies of Me.”
ahaM svArthE svayaM sAkSitvaM dadAmi yazca mama tAtO mAM prEritavAn sOpi madarthE sAkSyaM dadAti|
19 They said, therefore, to Him, “Where is Your father?” Jesus answered, “You have neither known Me nor My Father: if you had known Me, you had also known My Father.”
tadA tE'pRcchan tava tAtaH kutra? tatO yIzuH pratyavAdId yUyaM mAM na jAnItha matpitaranjca na jAnItha yadi mAm akSAsyata tarhi mama tAtamapyakSAsyata|
20 Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come;
yIzu rmandira upadizya bhaNPAgArE kathA EtA akathayat tathApi taM prati kOpi karaM nOdatOlayat|
21 therefore Jesus said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sin; to where I go away, you are not able to come.”
tataH paraM yIzuH punaruditavAn adhunAhaM gacchAmi yUyaM mAM gavESayiSyatha kintu nijaiH pApai rmariSyatha yat sthAnam ahaM yAsyAmi tat sthAnam yUyaM yAtuM na zakSyatha|
22 The Jews, therefore, said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, To where I go away, you are not able to come?”
tadA yihUdIyAH prAvOcan kimayam AtmaghAtaM kariSyati? yatO yat sthAnam ahaM yAsyAmi tat sthAnam yUyaM yAtuM na zakSyatha iti vAkyaM bravIti|
23 And He said to them, “You are from beneath, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world;
tatO yIzustEbhyaH kathitavAn yUyam adhaHsthAnIyA lOkA aham UrdvvasthAnIyaH yUyam EtajjagatsambandhIyA aham EtajjagatsambandhIyO na|
24 I said, therefore, to you, that you will die in your sins, for if you may not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
tasmAt kathitavAn yUyaM nijaiH pApai rmariSyatha yatOhaM sa pumAn iti yadi na vizvasitha tarhi nijaiH pApai rmariSyatha|
25 They said, therefore, to Him, “You—who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Even what I spoke of to you at the beginning;
tadA tE 'pRcchan kastvaM? tatO yIzuH kathitavAn yuSmAkaM sannidhau yasya prastAvam A prathamAt karOmi saEva puruSOhaM|
26 many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent Me is true, and I—what things I heard from Him—these I say to the world.”
yuSmAsu mayA bahuvAkyaM vakttavyaM vicArayitavyanjca kintu matprErayitA satyavAdI tasya samIpE yadahaM zrutavAn tadEva jagatE kathayAmi|
27 They did not know that He spoke to them of the Father;
kintu sa janakE vAkyamidaM prOkttavAn iti tE nAbudhyanta|
28 Jesus, therefore, said to them, “When you may lift up the Son of Man then you will know that I AM; and I do nothing of Myself, but according as My Father taught Me, these things I speak;
tatO yIzurakathayad yadA manuSyaputram Urdvva utthApayiSyatha tadAhaM sa pumAn kEvalaH svayaM kimapi karmma na karOmi kintu tAtO yathA zikSayati tadanusArENa vAkyamidaM vadAmIti ca yUyaM jnjAtuM zakSyatha|
29 and He who sent Me is with Me; the Father did not leave Me alone, because I always do the things pleasing to Him.”
matprErayitA pitA mAm EkAkinaM na tyajati sa mayA sArddhaM tiSThati yatOhaM tadabhimataM karmma sadA karOmi|
30 As He is speaking these things, many believed in Him;
tadA tasyaitAni vAkyAni zrutvA bahuvastAsmin vyazvasan|
31 Jesus, therefore, said to the Jews who believed in Him, “If you may remain in My word, you are truly My disciples,
yE yihUdIyA vyazvasan yIzustEbhyO'kathayat
32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
mama vAkyE yadi yUyam AsthAM kurutha tarhi mama ziSyA bhUtvA satyatvaM jnjAsyatha tataH satyatayA yuSmAkaM mOkSO bhaviSyati|
33 They answered Him, “We are seed of Abraham; and we have been servants to no one at any time; how do You say—You will become free?”
tadA tE pratyavAdiSuH vayam ibrAhImO vaMzaH kadApi kasyApi dAsA na jAtAstarhi yuSmAkaM muktti rbhaviSyatIti vAkyaM kathaM bravISi?
34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who is committing sin, is a servant of sin,
tadA yIzuH pratyavadad yuSmAnahaM yathArthataraM vadAmi yaH pApaM karOti sa pApasya dAsaH|
35 and the servant does not remain in the house—throughout the age, the Son remains—throughout the age; (aiōn g165)
dAsazca nirantaraM nivEzanE na tiSThati kintu putrO nirantaraM tiSThati| (aiōn g165)
36 if then the Son may make you free, in reality you will be free.
ataH putrO yadi yuSmAn mOcayati tarhi nitAntamEva mukttA bhaviSyatha|
37 I have known that you are seed of Abraham, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you;
yuyam ibrAhImO vaMza ityahaM jAnAmi kintu mama kathA yuSmAkam antaHkaraNESu sthAnaM na prApnuvanti tasmAddhEtO rmAM hantum IhadhvE|
38 I speak that which I have seen with My Father, and you, therefore, do that which you have seen with your father.”
ahaM svapituH samIpE yadapazyaM tadEva kathayAmi tathA yUyamapi svapituH samIpE yadapazyata tadEva kurudhvE|
39 They answered and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham”; Jesus says to them, “If you were children of Abraham, the works of Abraham you were doing;
tadA tE pratyavOcan ibrAhIm asmAkaM pitA tatO yIzurakathayad yadi yUyam ibrAhImaH santAnA abhaviSyata tarhi ibrAhIma AcAraNavad AcariSyata|
40 and now, you seek to kill Me—a Man who has spoken to you the truth I heard from God; Abraham did not do this;
Izvarasya mukhAt satyaM vAkyaM zrutvA yuSmAn jnjApayAmi yOhaM taM mAM hantuM cESTadhvE ibrAhIm EtAdRzaM karmma na cakAra|
41 you do the works of your father.” They said, therefore, to Him, “We have not been born of whoredom; we have one Father—God”;
yUyaM svasvapituH karmmANi kurutha tadA tairukttaM na vayaM jArajAtA asmAkam EkaEva pitAsti sa EvEzvaraH
42 Jesus then said to them, “If God were your father, you were loving Me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of Myself, but He sent Me;
tatO yIzunA kathitam IzvarO yadi yuSmAkaM tAtObhaviSyat tarhi yUyaM mayi prEmAkariSyata yatOham IzvarAnnirgatyAgatOsmi svatO nAgatOhaM sa mAM prAhiNOt|
43 why do you not know My speech? Because you are not able to hear My word.
yUyaM mama vAkyamidaM na budhyadhvE kutaH? yatO yUyaM mamOpadEzaM sOPhuM na zaknutha|
44 You are of a father—the Devil, and the desires of your father you will to do; he was a manslayer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, he speaks of his own, because he is a liar—also his father.

45 And because I say the truth, you do not believe Me.
ahaM tathyavAkyaM vadAmi kAraNAdasmAd yUyaM mAM na pratItha|
46 Who of you convicts Me of sin? And if I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
mayi pApamastIti pramANaM yuSmAkaM kO dAtuM zaknOti? yadyahaM tathyavAkyaM vadAmi tarhi kutO mAM na pratitha?
47 He who is of God, he hears the sayings of God; because of this you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
yaH kazcana IzvarIyO lOkaH sa IzvarIyakathAyAM manO nidhattE yUyam IzvarIyalOkA na bhavatha tannidAnAt tatra na manAMsi nidhadvE|
48 The Jews, therefore, answered and said to Him, “Do we not say well, that You are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
tadA yihUdIyAH pratyavAdiSuH tvamEkaH zOmirONIyO bhUtagrastazca vayaM kimidaM bhadraM nAvAdiSma?
49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me;
tatO yIzuH pratyavAdIt nAhaM bhUtagrastaH kintu nijatAtaM sammanyE tasmAd yUyaM mAm apamanyadhvE|
50 and I do not seek My own glory; there is [One] who is seeking and is judging;
ahaM svasukhyAtiM na cESTE kintu cESTitA vicArayitA cApara Eka AstE|
51 truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may keep My word, he may not see death—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
ahaM yuSmabhyam atIva yathArthaM kathayAmi yO narO madIyaM vAcaM manyatE sa kadAcana nidhanaM na drakSyati| (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “Now we have known that You have a demon; Abraham died, and the prophets, and You say, If anyone may keep My word, he will not taste of death—throughout the age! (aiōn g165)
yihUdIyAstamavadan tvaM bhUtagrasta itIdAnIm avaiSma| ibrAhIm bhaviSyadvAdinanjca sarvvE mRtAH kintu tvaM bhASasE yO narO mama bhAratIM gRhlAti sa jAtu nidhAnAsvAdaM na lapsyatE| (aiōn g165)
53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died; whom do You make Yourself?”

54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who is glorifying Me, of whom you say that He is your God;
yIzuH pratyavOcad yadyahaM svaM svayaM sammanyE tarhi mama tat sammananaM kimapi na kintu mama tAtO yaM yUyaM svIyam IzvaraM bhASadhvE saEva mAM sammanutE|
55 and you have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I will be like you—speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and I keep His word;

56 your father Abraham was glad that he might see My day; and he saw, and rejoiced.”

57 The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
tadA yihUdIyA apRcchan tava vayaH panjcAzadvatsarA na tvaM kim ibrAhImam adrAkSIH?
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham’s coming—I AM”;

59 they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at Him, but Jesus hid Himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
