John 8
1 But Jesus went [with us disciples] to Olive [Tree] Hill [and we stayed near there that night].
Si Jesus miadto sa bukid sa mga Olibo.
2 Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple [courtyard]. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.
Pagkasayo sa buntag mibalik siya pag-usab didto sa templo, ug ang tanang katawhan nangabot; milingkod siya ug nanudlo kanila.
3 Then men who taught the [Jewish] laws and some of [SYN] the Pharisee [religious group] brought a woman to him. She was seized {[They] had [arranged to] seize her} while she was having sex with a man who was not her husband. They made her stand up in front of the group [that was listening to Jesus].
Ang mga escriba ug ang mga Pariseo nagdala ug usa ka babaye nga nasakpan nga nagbuhat sa pagpanapaw. Gibutang nila siya sa taliwala.
4 Then they said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was seized {[we] seized this woman} while she was having sex with a man who is not her husband.
Unya sila miingon kaniya, “Magtutudlo, kining bayhana nasakpan nga nagabuhat sa pagpanapaw.
5 Moses commanded us in the laws that [he gave us] that we should throw stones at such women [and kill them]. So what do you say [we should do]?”
Karon sa balaod, si Moises nagmando kanato sa pagbato sa maong tawo; unsa man ang imong ikasulti bahin kaniya?”
6 They asked this question as a trap so that they could accuse him. [If he said that they should not kill her, they would shame him for disobeying the law of Moses. If he said that they should kill her, they could accuse him to the Roman governor]. But Jesus bent down and wrote something on the ground with his finger.
Gisulti nila kini sa tuyo nga mabitik siya aron aduna silay ikapasangil bahin kaniya, apan si Jesus miluhod ug unya nagsulat sa yuta pinaagi sa iyang tudlo.
7 While they continued to question him, he stood up and said to them, “Whichever one of you has never sinned can be the first one to start throwing stones at her.”
Sa dihang nagpadayon sila sa pagpangutana kaniya, mitindog siya ug miingon kanila, “Siya nga walay sala diha kaninyo, paunaha siya sa paglabay ug bato kaniya.''
8 Then he stooped down and wrote [some more] on the ground.
Miukbo na usab siya, ug misulat gamit ang iyang tudlo.
9 After they heard what he said, those [who were questioning him] went away, one by one, the older ones first [and then the younger ones, knowing they were all sinners]. Finally only Jesus was there, along with the woman.
Pagkadungog nila niini, tinagsa sila nga mibiya, una ang pinakamagulangan. Sa kataposan si Jesus na lamang ang nabilin, uban ang babaye nga anaa sa taliwala.
10 Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”
Mitindog si Jesus ug miingon kaniya, “Babaye, asa naman ang namasangil kanimo?” Wala bay usa nga naghukom kanimo?”
11 She said, “No, sir, no one.” Then Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go [home] now, and do not continue your sinful [life] any longer!”]
Siya miingon, “Wala Ginoo.” Miingon si Jesus, “Bisan ako dili magahukom kanimo. Lakaw ug ayaw na pagpakasala.”]
12 Jesus spoke to the people again. He said, “I am [like] a light [MET] for [all the people in] [MTY] the world. [Just like a light reveals what has been in the darkness] [MET], [I reveal God’s truth to them]. Those who walk in the darkness [are unaware of what is around them]. But those who become my disciples will always be aware [of God’s truth] [MET]. They will have my light [which shows them how to have eternal] life.”
Nagsulti si Jesus kanila pag-usab nga nag-ingon, “Ako mao ang kahayag sa kalibotan; siya nga nagasunod kanako dili maglakaw sa kangitngit apan adunay kahayag sa kinabuhi.”
13 So the Pharisees said to him, “You are just telling about yourself! [Since there is no one else to verify these things that you say about yourself], [we] do not [need to accept that] what you say is true.”
Ang mga Pariseo miingon ngadto kaniya, “Ikaw nagsaksi mahitungod sa imong kaugalingon; ang imong pagsaksi dili tinuod.
14 Jesus replied, “Even if I were the [only one to] say these things about myself, what I say is true, because I know that I came from [heaven], and I know that I am going [back to heaven]. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
Mitubag si Jesus ug miingon kanila, “Bisan kung nagsaksi ako mahitungod sa akong kaugalingon, ang akong gisaksi tinuod. Nasayod ako kung asa ako gikan ug asa ako padulong, apan kamo wala nasayod kung asa ako naggikan ug asa ako padulong.
15 You judge people according to human standards. [The reason] that I am [here is] not (to condemn people/to say that I will punish people) [for their sins].
naghukom kamo sumala sa unod; Wala Ako maghukom ni bisan kinsa.
16 But if I did judge [people], what I decided would be correct, because I am not the [only] one [who will decide those things]. I and the one who sent me will both decide.
Kung maghukom ako, ang akong paghukom tinuod tungod kay ako wala mag-inusara, apan ako uban sa akong Amahan nga nagpadala kanako.
17 It is written {[Moses] wrote} in your law that if [at least] two people testify that [some event has happened], [people should consider] that what they say is true.
Oo, ug diha sa inyong balaod nahisulat nga ang pagpamatuod sa duha ka tawo tinuod.
18 I am telling you about myself, and the other one who is telling you about me is [my] Father who sent me. [So you should believe that what we declare is true].”
Gipadala niya ako nga magsaksi mahitungod sa akong kaugalingon, ug ang Amahan nga nagpadala kanako nagasaksi mahitungod kanako.”
19 Then they asked him, “[If you have a] father whom [we can question about you], where is he?” Jesus replied, “You do not know [who] I [really am]. If you knew who I [really am], you would know who my Father is also.”
Sila miingon kaniya, “Asa ang imong amahan?” Si Jesus mitubag, “Wala kamo makaila kanako o bisan sa akong Amahan; kung nakaila kamo kanako, kamo usab nakaila sa akong Amahan.”
20 He said these things when he was in the Temple [courtyard], near the place where the people put their offerings. [This was also very close to the place where the Jewish council met]. But no one seized him to arrest him, because it was not yet time [MTY] [for him to suffer and die].
Miingon siya niining mga pulonga sa tipiganan sumala sa iyang gitudlo didto sa templo, ug walay usa nga midakop kaniya tungod kay ang iyang takna wala pa-man miabot.
21 Jesus also said to them, “I [will soon be] going away. Then [at the end of your life] you will seek me, but you will die [without God forgiving] your sins. Where I will go, you will not be able to come.”
Busa miingon na usab siya kanila, “molakaw ako palayo; mangita kamo kanako ug mamatay sa inyong mga sala. Kung asa ako moadto, dili kamo makaadto.”
22 So the Jewish [leaders] said among themselves, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that the reason that he said, ‘Where I go, you will not be able to come’?”
Ang mga Judio miingon, “Patyon ba niya ang iyang kaugalingon? Mao nga miingon siya nga; 'Kung asa ako padulong dili kamo makaadto?”
23 But Jesus continued by saying to them, “You were born here in this world, but I came from heaven. You belong to those who are opposed to God [MTY]. I do not belong to them.
Si Jesus miingon kanila, “Gikan kamo sa ubos; gikan ako sa taas. Iya kamo niining kalibotan; ako dili iya niining kalibotan.
24 I told you that you will die [without God forgiving] your sins. If you do not believe that I am [who I say that I am], you will die [without God forgiving] your sins.”
Busa, magaingon ako kaninyo nga kamo mamatay pinaagi sa inyong mga sala. Gawas kung motuo kamo nga AKo mao AKo, kamo mamatay sa inyong mga sala.”
25 So they said to him, “You! Who do you think you are?” Jesus said to them, “Ever since I began [teaching], I have been telling you who I am!
Busa sila miingon ngadto kanila, “Kinsa ka ba?'' si Jesus miingon kanila, “Kung unsa ang akong gisulti kaninyo gikan sa sinugdanan.
26 I could judge you and say that [you are guilty of] many things. But instead, [I will say only] what the one who sent me tells me to say. [What he says] is true, and I tell the people in the world [MTY] what I have heard from him.”
Adunay daghang mga butang nga akong ikasulti ug ikahukom mahitungod kaninyo. Bisan pa niana, siya nga nagpadala kanako mao lamang ang tinuod; ug ang mga butang nga akong nadungog gikan kaniya, kining mga butanga ang akong isulti sa kalibotan.”
27 They did not understand that he was talking about his Father [in heaven].
Wala sila makasabot nga siya nagsulti ngadto kanila mahitungod sa Amahan.
28 So Jesus said, “I am the one who came down from heaven, but when you lift me up [on a cross to kill me], you will know who I am. You will also know that I do not do anything with my own [authority]. Instead, I say just what [my] Father has taught me.
Si Jesus miingon, “Sa dihang inyong ipataas ang Anak sa Tawo, unya inyong masayran nga kana mao Ako, ug niana ako walay mabuhat sa akong kaugalingon. Ingon nga ang Amahan nagtudlo kanako, akong isulti kining mga butanga.
29 He is the one who sent me, and he helps me. Because I always do the things that please him, he has never abandoned me.”
Siya nga nagpadala kanako uban kanako, ug siya dili mobiya kanako, tungod kay ako kanunay nagabuhat kung unsa ang makapahimuot kaniya.”
30 As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he [was] ([from God/the Messiah]).
Samtang gisulti ni Jesus kining mga butanga, daghan ang mituo kaniya.
31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who now said they believed in him, “If you continue to [live in accordance with] my message, you will truly be my disciples.
Si Jesus miingon niadtong mga Judio nga mituo kaniya, “Kung magpabilin kamo sa akong mga pulong, kamo tinuod gayud nga akong mga disipulo;
32 Then you will know [God’s] truth, and as a result of [your believing his] truth, he [PRS] will free you [from being controlled by the one who has made you his slaves].”
ug masayran ninyo ang kamatuoran, ug ang kamatuoran maghimo kaninyong gawasnon.”
33 They replied to him, “We are descendants of Abraham. We have never been anyone’s slaves. So why do you say [we will] be freed [from being someone’s slaves]?”
sila mitubag kaniya, “Mga kaliwat kami ni Abraham ug dili mga ulipon ni bisan kinsa; giunsa nimo pagkasulti, 'Mahimo kamong gawasnon?”
34 Jesus replied, “Listen carefully to what I am going to tell you. All those who continue to sin are [forced to obey] their sinful desires [MET], [just like] a slave [is forced to obey his master].
Si Jesus mitubag kanila, “Sa pagkatinuod, sa pagkatinuod, mosulti ako kaninyo, ang matag-usa nga nagabuhat ug sala naulipon sa sala.
35 A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever. [Similarly, you say you are members of God’s family because you are descendants of Abraham, but really, because you are like slaves of your sinful desires, you are no longer permanent members of God’s family]. (aiōn g165)
Ang ulipon dili magpabilin sa panimalay hangtod sa hangtod; ang anak magpabilin hangtod sa hangtod. (aiōn g165)
36 So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.
Busa, kung ang Anak maghimo kanimo nga gawasnon, kamo mahimo gayod nga tinuod nga gawasnon.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. But you are trying to kill me because [you are not] allowing [PRS] my message to continue [to change] your inner being.
Nasayod ako nga kamo mga kaliwat ni Abraham; nangita kamo kanako kay buot ninyo akong patyon tungod kay ang akong mga pulong walay dapit diha kaninyo.
38 I am telling you what I saw when I was with [my] Father. But you do the things that you have heard from your father.”
Nagsulti ako kung unsa ang akong nakita uban sa akong Amahan, ug nagbuhat usab kamo kung unsa ang inyong nadungog gikan sa inyong amahan.”
39 They replied to him, “Abraham is our ancestor.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s descendants, [your character would be like Abraham’s character, and] you would do [good] things like Abraham did.
Sila mitubag ug miingon kaniya, “Ang among amahan mao si Abraham.” Si Jesus miingon kanila, “Kung mga anak kamo ni Abraham, magbuhat kamo sa buluhaton ni Abraham.
40 I have been telling you the truth that I heard from God, but you are trying to kill me. Abraham did not do things like that.
Apan, karon nangita kamo kanako aron sa pagpatay, ang usa ka tawo nga nagsulti kaninyo sa kamatuoran nga akong nadungog gikan sa Dios. Si Abraham wala nagbuhat niini.
41 No! You are doing the things that your [real] father does.” They said to him, “[We do not know about you, but] we are not illegitimate children. And [spiritually], we have only one Father. That is God, and you do not know who your father is!”
Nagbuhat kamo sa buluhaton sa inyong Amahan.” Sila miingon kaniya, “Wala kami natawo sa manggihilawason; aduna kami usa ka Amahan: ang Dios.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, because I came from God, and now I have come here [to this world]. My coming was not (because I [appointed] myself/with my own [authority]). He sent me.
Miingon si Jesus kanila, “Kung ang inyong Amahan mao ang Dios, kamo mahigugma kanako, kay gikan ako sa Dios ug ania dinhi; kay wala ako moanhi sa akong kaugalingon, apan nagpadala siya kanako.
43 (And I will tell you why you do not understand what I say./Do you know why you do not understand what I say?) [RHQ] It is because you do not want to accept my message.
Nganong dili man kamo makasabot sa akong mga pulong? Tungod kay kamo wala nakadungog sa akong mga pulong.
44 You belong to your father, (the devil/Satan), and you desire to do what he wants. He has [caused people to become] murderers from the time when [people] first [sinned]. He has abandoned [God’s] truth because he is a liar by his nature. Whenever he lies, he is speaking according to his [nature], because he is a liar and is the one who originates [MET] all lies.
Iya kamo sa inyong amahan, nga mao ang yawa, ug nangandoy kamo sa pagbuhat sa gitinguha sa inyong amahan. Mamumuno siya sukad pa sa sinugdanan ug wala nagbarog sa kamatuoran tungod kay walay kamatuoran diha kaniya. Sa dihang siya mosulti ug bakak, siya nagsulti gikan sa iyang kaugalingon nga kinaiyahan tungod kay siya bakakon ug siya ang amahan sa tanang mga bakak.
45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!
Apan, tungod kay nagsulti ako kaninyo sa kamatuoran, dili kamo motuo kanako.
46 [Since I have never sinned], (none of you can show that I have sinned./can anyone among you show that I have sinned?) [RHQ] So, since I tell you the truth, (there is no good reason for your not believing me!/why is it that you do not believe me?) [RHQ]
Kinsa ba kaninyo ang magsilot kanako sa sala? Kung ako mosulti sa kamatuoran, ngano nga dili man kamo motuo kanako?
47 Those who belong to God habitually obey God’s message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”
Siya nga iya sa Dios maminaw sa mga pulong sa Dios; dili kamo maminaw kaniya tungod kay kamo dili man iya sa Dios.”
48 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied to him, “(We are certainly right by saying that you [believe what is false as] the Samaritans [do]!/Are we not right by saying that you [believe what is false as] the Samaritans [do]?) [RHQ] And that (a demon/an evil spirit) [controls] you!”
Ang mga Judio mitubag ug miingon kaniya, “Wala ba kami nagsulti sa tinuod nga ikaw usa ka Samarianhon ug adunay demonyo?”
49 Jesus replied, “A demon does not [control] me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!
Si Jesus mitubag, “Wala akoy demonyo, apan nagpasidungog ako sa akong Amahan, apan wala kamo mopasidungog kanako.
50 I am not trying to honor myself. There is someone else who desires [to honor me], and he is the one who will judge [whether it is I who am telling the truth or whether it is you who are telling the truth].
Wala ako mangita sa akong himaya; adunay usa nga nangita ug maghukom.
Sa pagkatinuod, sa pagkatinuod, mosulti ako kaninyo, kung ang matag-usa motuman sa akong pulong, dili gayod siya makakita sa kamatayon.” (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [thinking that he was talking about ordinary death and not about spiritual death], said to him, “Now we are sure that a demon [controls] you! Abraham and the prophets died [long ago]! But you say that anyone who obeys what you teach will never die! (aiōn g165)
Ang mga Judio miingon kaniya, “Karon nasayod kami nga ikaw adunay demonyo. Si Abraham ug ang mga propeta namatay na; apan ikaw karon miingon, “Kung ang matag-usa motuman sa akong pulong, siya dili gayod makatilaw sa kamatayon.” (aiōn g165)
53 (You are certainly not greater than our ancestor Abraham!/Do you think you are greater than our ancestor Abraham?) [RHQ] He died, and all the prophets died, so who do you think you are [by saying something like that]?”
Dili ka labaw sa among amahan nga si Abraham, ikaw ba? Ang mga propeta nangamatay na usab. Si kinsa ang naghimo sa imong kaugalingon nga ing-ana?”
54 Jesus replied, “If I were honoring myself, that would be worthless. My Father is the one who you say is your God. He is the one who honors me.
Mitubag si Jesus, “Kung himayaon ko ang akong kaugalingon, ang akong himaya kawang; ang akong Amahan maoy naghimaya kanako— nga inyong ginaingon nga siya mao ang inyong Dios.
55 Although you do not know him, I know him [and have a close relationship with him]. If I said that I did not know him, I would be a liar like you are. But I know him, and I obey what he says.
Wala kamo makaila kaniya, apan nakaila ako kaniya, kung moingon ako nga, “wala ako makaila kaniya,” mahimo ako nga sama kaninyo, nga bakakon. Bisan pa niana, ako nakaila kaniya, ug nagtuman sa iyang pulong.
56 Your ancestor Abraham was happy when he thought about what I would [do during] my life [MTY]. [It was as though] he saw that, and was happy.”
Ang inyong amahan nga si Abraham nalipay nga makakita sa akong adlaw; nakakita siya niini ug siya nalipay.”
57 Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to him, “You are not 50 years old yet! So (you certainly did not see him!/how could you have seen him?) [RHQ] [Because he died long ago]!”
Ang mga Judio miingon kaniya, “Wala pa ikaw nagpangidaron ug 50, unya ikaw nakakita na kang Abraham?”
58 Jesus said to them, “The truth is that I existed before Abraham was born!”
Miingon si Jesus kanila, “Sa pagkatinuod, sa pagkatinuod moingon ako kaninyo, sa wala pa si Abraham, AKO anaa na.”
59 So, [because they were very angry about Jesus thus saying that he] ([had eternally existed/was equal with God]), they picked up stones to throw at him [to kill him]. But [Jesus] caused them not to be able to see him, and he left the Temple courtyard.
Unya mipunit sila ug mga bato aron sa pagbato kaniya, apan mitago si Jesus ug unya mibiya sa templo.
