John 8
1 And at dawn He came again to the temple [courts],
pratyūṣe yīśuḥ panarmandiram āgacchat
2 and all the people were coming to Him, and having sat down, He was teaching them;
tataḥ sarvveṣu lokeṣu tasya samīpa āgateṣu sa upaviśya tān upadeṣṭum ārabhata|
3 and the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
tadā adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinañca vyabhicārakarmmaṇi dhṛtaṁ striyamekām āniya sarvveṣāṁ madhye sthāpayitvā vyāharan
4 they say to Him, “Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime [of] committing adultery,
he guro yoṣitam imāṁ vyabhicārakarmma kurvvāṇāṁ lokā dhṛtavantaḥ|
5 and in the Law, Moses commanded us that such be stoned; You, therefore, what do You say?”
etādṛśalokāḥ pāṣāṇāghātena hantavyā iti vidhirmūsāvyavasthāgranthe likhitosti kintu bhavān kimādiśati?
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 tamapavadituṁ parīkṣābhiprāyeṇa vākyamidam apṛcchan kintu sa prahvībhūya bhūmāvaṅgalyā lekhitum ārabhata|
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”;
tatastaiḥ punaḥ punaḥ pṛṣṭa utthāya kathitavān yuṣmākaṁ madhye yo jano niraparādhī saeva prathamam enāṁ pāṣāṇenāhantu|
8 and again having stooped down, He was writing on the ground,
paścāt sa punaśca prahvībhūya bhūmau lekhitum ārabhata|
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.
tāṁ kathaṁ śrutvā te svasvamanasi prabodhaṁ prāpya jyeṣṭhānukramaṁ ekaikaśaḥ sarvve bahiragacchan tato yīśurekākī tayakttobhavat madhyasthāne daṇḍāyamānā sā yoṣā ca sthitā|
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?”
tatpaścād yīśurutthāya tāṁ vanitāṁ vinā kamapyaparaṁ na vilokya pṛṣṭavān he vāme tavāpavādakāḥ kutra? kopi tvāṁ kiṁ na daṇḍayati?
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.”]]
sāvadat he maheccha kopi na tadā yīśuravocat nāhamapi daṇḍayāmi yāhi punaḥ pāpaṁ mākārṣīḥ|
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 yīśuḥ punarapi lokebhya itthaṁ kathayitum ārabhata jagatohaṁ jyotiḥsvarūpo yaḥ kaścin matpaścāda gacchati sa timire na bhramitvā jīvanarūpāṁ dīptiṁ prāpsyati|
13 The Pharisees, therefore, said to Him, “You testify of Yourself, Your testimony is not true”;
tataḥ phirūśino'vādiṣustvaṁ svārthe svayaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadāsi tasmāt tava sākṣyaṁ grāhyaṁ 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.
tadā yīśuḥ pratyuditavān yadyapi svārthe'haṁ svayaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadāmi tathāpi mat sākṣyaṁ grāhyaṁ yasmād ahaṁ kuta āgatosmi kva yāmi ca tadahaṁ jānāmi kintu kuta āgatosmi kutra gacchāmi ca tad yūyaṁ na jānītha|
15 You judge according to the flesh; I do not judge anyone,
yūyaṁ laukikaṁ vicārayatha nāhaṁ kimapi vicārayāmi|
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 vicārayāmi tarhi mama vicāro grahītavyo yatoham ekākī nāsmi prerayitā pitā mayā saha vidyate|
17 and also in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true;
dvayo rjanayoḥ sākṣyaṁ grahaṇīyaṁ bhavatīti yuṣmākaṁ vyavasthāgranthe likhitamasti|
18 I am [One] who is testifying of Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies of Me.”
ahaṁ svārthe svayaṁ sākṣitvaṁ dadāmi yaśca mama tāto māṁ preritavān sopi madarthe sākṣyaṁ dadāti|
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.”
tadā te'pṛcchan tava tātaḥ kutra? tato yīśuḥ pratyavādīd yūyaṁ māṁ na jānītha matpitarañca na jānītha yadi mām akṣāsyata tarhi mama tātamapyakṣāsyata|
20 Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come;
yīśu rmandira upadiśya bhaṇḍāgāre kathā etā akathayat tathāpi taṁ prati kopi karaṁ 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.”
tataḥ paraṁ yīśuḥ punaruditavān adhunāhaṁ gacchāmi yūyaṁ māṁ gaveṣayiṣyatha 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, To where I go away, you are not able to come?”
tadā yihūdīyāḥ prāvocan kimayam ātmaghātaṁ kariṣyati? yato yat sthānam ahaṁ yāsyāmi tat sthānam yūyaṁ yātuṁ na śakṣyatha iti vākyaṁ bravīti|
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 yīśustebhyaḥ kathitavān yūyam adhaḥsthānīyā lokā aham ūrdvvasthānīyaḥ yūyam etajjagatsambandhīyā aham etajjagatsambandhīyo 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.”
tasmāt kathitavān yūyaṁ nijaiḥ pāpai rmariṣyatha yatohaṁ sa pumān iti yadi na viśvasitha tarhi nijaiḥ pāpai rmariṣyatha|
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;
tadā te 'pṛcchan kastvaṁ? tato yīśuḥ kathitavān yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau yasya prastāvam ā prathamāt karomi saeva puruṣohaṁ|
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.”
yuṣmāsu mayā bahuvākyaṁ vakttavyaṁ vicārayitavyañca kintu matprerayitā satyavādī tasya samīpe yadahaṁ śrutavān tadeva jagate kathayāmi|
27 They did not know that He spoke to them of the Father;
kintu sa janake vākyamidaṁ prokttavān iti te nābudhyanta|
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 yīśurakathayad yadā manuṣyaputram ūrdvva utthāpayiṣyatha tadāhaṁ sa pumān kevalaḥ svayaṁ kimapi karmma na karomi kintu tāto yathā śikṣayati tadanusāreṇa vākyamidaṁ vadāmīti ca yūyaṁ jñātuṁ śakṣyatha|
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.”
matprerayitā pitā mām ekākinaṁ na tyajati sa mayā sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhati yatohaṁ tadabhimataṁ karmma sadā karomi|
30 As He is speaking these things, many believed in Him;
tadā tasyaitāni vākyāni śrutvā bahuvastāsmin vyaśvasan|
31 Jesus, therefore, said to the Jews who believed in Him, “If you may remain in My word, you are truly My disciples,
ye yihūdīyā vyaśvasan yīśustebhyo'kathayat
32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
mama vākye yadi yūyam āsthāṁ kurutha tarhi mama śiṣyā bhūtvā satyatvaṁ jñāsyatha tataḥ satyatayā yuṣmākaṁ mokṣo bhaviṣyati|
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?”
tadā te pratyavādiṣuḥ vayam ibrāhīmo vaṁśaḥ kadāpi kasyāpi dāsā na jātāstarhi yuṣmākaṁ muktti rbhaviṣyatīti vākyaṁ kathaṁ bravīṣi?
34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who is committing sin, is a servant of sin,
tadā yīśuḥ pratyavadad yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthataraṁ vadāmi yaḥ pāpaṁ karoti sa pāpasya dāsaḥ|
35 and the servant does not remain in the house—throughout the age, the Son remains—throughout the age; (aiōn g165)
dāsaśca nirantaraṁ niveśane na tiṣṭhati kintu putro nirantaraṁ tiṣṭhati| (aiōn g165)
36 if then the Son may make you free, in reality you will be free.
ataḥ putro yadi yuṣmān mocayati tarhi nitāntameva mukttā bhaviṣyatha|
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 ibrāhīmo vaṁśa ityahaṁ jānāmi kintu mama kathā yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇeṣu sthānaṁ na prāpnuvanti tasmāddheto rmāṁ hantum īhadhve|
38 I speak that which I have seen with My Father, and you, therefore, do that which you have seen with your father.”
ahaṁ svapituḥ samīpe yadapaśyaṁ tadeva kathayāmi tathā yūyamapi svapituḥ samīpe yadapaśyata 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;
tadā te pratyavocan ibrāhīm asmākaṁ pitā tato yīśurakathayad yadi yūyam ibrāhīmaḥ santānā abhaviṣyata tarhi ibrāhīma ācāraṇavad ācariṣyata|
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;
īśvarasya mukhāt satyaṁ vākyaṁ śrutvā yuṣmān jñāpayāmi yohaṁ taṁ māṁ hantuṁ ceṣṭadhve ibrāhīm etādṛśaṁ karmma na cakāra|
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”;
yūyaṁ svasvapituḥ karmmāṇi kurutha tadā tairukttaṁ na vayaṁ jārajātā asmākam ekaeva pitāsti sa eveśvaraḥ
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 yīśunā kathitam īśvaro yadi yuṣmākaṁ tātobhaviṣyat tarhi yūyaṁ mayi premākariṣyata yatoham īśvarānnirgatyāgatosmi svato nāgatohaṁ sa māṁ prāhiṇot|
43 why do you not know My speech? Because you are not able to hear My word.
yūyaṁ mama vākyamidaṁ na budhyadhve kutaḥ? yato yūyaṁ mamopadeśaṁ soḍhuṁ na śaknutha|
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.
yūyaṁ śaitān pituḥ santānā etasmād yuṣmākaṁ piturabhilāṣaṁ pūrayatha sa ā prathamāt naraghātī tadantaḥ satyatvasya leśopi nāsti kāraṇādataḥ sa satyatāyāṁ nātiṣṭhat sa yadā mṛṣā kathayati tadā nijasvabhāvānusāreṇaiva kathayati yato sa mṛṣābhāṣī mṛṣotpādakaśca|
45 And because I say the truth, you do not believe Me.
ahaṁ tathyavākyaṁ vadāmi kāraṇādasmād yūyaṁ māṁ na pratītha|
46 Who of you convicts Me of sin? And if I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
mayi pāpamastīti pramāṇaṁ yuṣmākaṁ ko dātuṁ śaknoti? yadyahaṁ tathyavākyaṁ vadāmi tarhi kuto māṁ 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.”
yaḥ kaścana īśvarīyo lokaḥ sa īśvarīyakathāyāṁ mano nidhatte yūyam īśvarīyalokā na bhavatha tannidānāt tatra na manāṁsi nidhadve|
48 The Jews, therefore, answered and said to Him, “Do we not say well, that You are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
tadā yihūdīyāḥ pratyavādiṣuḥ tvamekaḥ śomiroṇīyo bhūtagrastaśca vayaṁ kimidaṁ bhadraṁ nāvādiṣma?
49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me;
tato yīśuḥ pratyavādīt nāhaṁ bhūtagrastaḥ kintu nijatātaṁ sammanye tasmād yūyaṁ mām apamanyadhve|
50 and I do not seek My own glory; there is [One] who is seeking and is judging;
ahaṁ svasukhyātiṁ na ceṣṭe kintu ceṣṭitā vicārayitā cāpara eka āste|
51 truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may keep My word, he may not see death—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
ahaṁ yuṣmabhyam atīva yathārthaṁ kathayāmi yo naro madīyaṁ vācaṁ manyate sa kadācana nidhanaṁ na drakṣyati| (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)
yihūdīyāstamavadan tvaṁ bhūtagrasta itīdānīm avaiṣma| ibrāhīm bhaviṣyadvādinañca sarvve mṛtāḥ kintu tvaṁ bhāṣase yo naro mama bhāratīṁ gṛhlāti sa jātu nidhānāsvādaṁ na lapsyate| (aiōn g165)
53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died; whom do You make Yourself?”
tarhi tvaṁ kim asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣād ibrāhīmopi mahān? yasmāt sopi mṛtaḥ bhaviṣyadvādinopi mṛtāḥ tvaṁ svaṁ kaṁ pumāṁsaṁ manuṣe?
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;
yīśuḥ pratyavocad yadyahaṁ svaṁ svayaṁ sammanye tarhi mama tat sammananaṁ kimapi na kintu mama tāto yaṁ yūyaṁ svīyam īśvaraṁ bhāṣadhve saeva māṁ 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;
yūyaṁ taṁ nāvagacchatha kintvahaṁ tamavagacchāmi taṁ nāvagacchāmīti vākyaṁ yadi vadāmi tarhi yūyamiva mṛṣābhāṣī bhavāmi kintvahaṁ tamavagacchāmi tadākṣāmapi gṛhlāmi|
56 your father Abraham was glad that he might see My day; and he saw, and rejoiced.”
yuṣmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣa ibrāhīm mama samayaṁ draṣṭum atīvāvāñchat tannirīkṣyānandacca|
57 The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
tadā yihūdīyā apṛcchan tava vayaḥ pañcāśadvatsarā na tvaṁ kim ibrāhīmam adrākṣīḥ?
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham’s coming—I AM”;
yīśuḥ pratyavādīd yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthataraṁ vadāmi ibrāhīmo janmanaḥ pūrvvakālamārabhyāhaṁ vidye|
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.
tadā te pāṣāṇān uttolya tamāhantum udayacchan kintu yīśu rgupto mantirād bahirgatya teṣāṁ madhyena prasthitavān|
