John 8
1 But Jesus went [with us disciples] to Olive [Tree] Hill [and we stayed near there that night].
यीशु अपणे चेल्यां कै गैल जैतून कै पहाड़ पै गया।
2 Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple [courtyard]. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.
तड़कैए आगले दिन यीशु फेर मन्दर म्ह आया। भोत सारे माणस उसकै धोरै आए अर वो बैठकै उननै उपदेश देण लाग्या।
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].
जिब वो बोलण लागरया था, तो जिब्बे शास्त्री अर फरीसी एक बिरबान्नी नै ल्याए, जो जारी करते होए रंगे हाथ पकड़ी गयी थी, अर उस ताहीं माणसां के स्याम्ही खड्या कर दिया, अर यीशु ताहीं कह्या,
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.
“हे गुरु, या बिरबान्नी जारी कर दी रंगे हाथ पकड़ी गयी सै।
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]?”
मूसा नबी के नियम-कायदा म्ह उसनै म्हारै ताहीं हुकम दिया सै, के इसी बिरबान्नी नै पत्थर बरसा कै मार द्यो। पर तू इस बिरबान्नी कै बारै म्ह के कहवै सै?”
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.
उननै यीशु ताहीं परखण खात्तर या बात कही, ताके उस म्ह खोट लिकाड़ण का कोए सुराग मिलै जावै। पर यीशु कोड्डा होकै आन्गळी तै धरती पै लिखण लाग्या।
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.”
जिब वे बार-बार उसतै सवाल करते रहे, तो फेर उसनै सीध्धा होकै उन ताहीं कह्या, “थारे म्ह जिसनै भी कोए पाप न्ही करया हो, वोए उसकै सबतै पैहला पत्थर मारै।”
8 Then he stooped down and wrote [some more] on the ground.
फेर यीशु कोड्डा होकै आन्गळी तै धरती पै लिक्खण लाग्या।
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.
जिब माणसां नै यो सुण्या तो सबतै पैहले बूढ़े माणस अर फेर एक-एक करकै ओड़ै तै खिसकण लाग्गे, क्यूँके वे सब जाणै थे, के हम सब पापी सां, अर सिर्फ यीशु अर वा बिरबान्नी ओड़ै रहगे।
10 Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”
यीशु खड्या होया अर उस बिरबान्नी ताहीं कह्या, “हे नारी, वे कित्त गए? के किस्से नै तेरे ताहीं दण्ड न्ही दिया?”
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!”]
वा बोल्ली, “हे प्रभु, किसे नै न्ही।” यीशु बोल्या, “मै भी तेरे ताहीं दण्ड न्ही देऊँगा, जा, अर दुबारा कदे पाप ना करिए।”
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.”
मन्दर म्ह अपणे उपदेश नै दुबारै शरु करदे होए यीशु नै माणसां तै कह्या, “दुनिया का चाँदणा मै सूं, जो कोए मेरै पाच्छै चाल्लैगा, वो अन्धेरै म्ह कदे कोनी चाल्लैगा, पर वो चाँदणा पावैगा जो अनन्त जीवन देवै सै।”
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.”
फरीसियाँ नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “तू अपणी गवाही खुद देवै सै, इस खात्तर तेरी गवाही साच्ची कोनी।”
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.
यीशु नै उन ताहीं जवाब दिया, “भलाए मै अपणी गवाही खुद देऊँ सूं, फेर भी मेरी गवाही मान्नी जावैगी, क्यूँके मै जाणु सूं, के मै कित्त तै आया सूं, अर कितोड़ जाऊँ सूं? पर थम कोनी जाणदे के मै कित्त तै आऊँ सूं, या कितोड़ जाऊँ सूं।
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].
थम मानवीय सोच तै, न्याय करो सो, मै किसे का न्याय कोनी करदा।
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.
जै मै न्याय करुँ भी तो वो सही ए होगा, क्यूँके मै एक्ला कोनी, पर परम पिता, जिसनै मेरै ताहीं भेज्या सै, वो अर मै दोन्नु मिलकै न्याय करा सां।
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.
थारे मूसा नबी के नियम-कायदा म्ह भी लिख्या सै, के दो जण्यां की गवाही सच के रूप म्ह मान्नी जा सकै सै।
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].”
एक तो मै खुद अपणी गवाही दियुँ सूं, अर दुसरा मेरा पिता मेरी गवाही देवै सै, जिसनै मेरैताहीं भेज्या।”
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.”
उननै उस ताहीं कह्या, “तेरा पिता कित्त सै?” यीशु नै जवाब दिया, “ना थम मन्नै जाणो सो, ना मेरै पिता नै, जै मन्नै जाणदे तै मेरै पिता नै भी जाणदे।”
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].
यीशु नै ये वचन मन्दर म्ह उपदेश देन्दे होए भण्डार घर म्ह बोल्ली, अर किसे नै उस ताहीं कोनी पकड्या, क्यूँके उसके दुख ठाण का अर मरण का बखत इब ताहीं कोनी आया था।
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.”
यीशु नै फेर उन ताहीं कह्या, “मै जाऊँ सूं, अर थम मन्नै टोहओगे, अर अपणे पाप म्ह मरोगे। जड़ै मै जाऊँ सूं, ओड़ै थम न्ही आ सकदे।”
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’?”
इसपै यहूदी अगुवां नै कह्या, “के वो खुद नै मार देवैगा, जो कहवै सै, ‘जड़ै मै जाऊँ सूं, ओड़ै थम न्ही आ सकदे?’”
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.
यीशु नै उन ताहीं कह्या, “थम इस दुनिया म्ह पैदा होए सों, अर मै सुर्ग तै आया सूं। थम इस दुनिया के सो, मै इस दुनिया का कोनी।
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.”
ज्यांतै मन्नै थारे ताहीं कह्या के थम अपणे पापां म्ह मरोगे, जै थारा मेरे म्ह बिश्वास कोनी के मै कौण सूं, तो थम मरोगे, अर थारे पाप माफ कोनी होंगे।”
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!
यहूदी अगुवां नै यीशु ताहीं कह्या, “के तू कौण सै?” वो उनतै बोल्या, जिब तै मन्नै प्रचार करणा शरु करया सै, तब तै मै थमनै कहन्दा आया सूं, “के मै कौण सूं?”
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.”
“थारे बारै म्ह कहण खात्तर अर फैसला करण खात्तर मेरे धोरै भोत कुछ सै, पर सच्चाई याए सै के जिसनै मेरे ताहीं भेज्या सै, मै वोए कहूँ सूं, जो मन्नै उसतै सुण्या सै, वोए दुनिया के माणसां तै कहूँ सूं।”
27 They did not understand that he was talking about his Father [in heaven].
वे न्यू न्ही समझै के म्हारै तै, पिता कै बारै म्ह कहवै सै।
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.
फेर यीशु बोल्या, “जिब थम मुझ माणस कै बेट्टै नै ऊँच्चे पै चढ़ाओगे, जिब जाणोगे के मै वोए सूं। मै खुद तै किमे कोनी करदा, पर जिस तरियां मेरै पिता नै, मेरै ताहीं सिखाया सै, उस्से ढाळ ये बात कहूँ सूं।
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.”
मेरा भेजण आळा मेरै गेल्या सै, उसनै मेरैताहीं एक्ला कोनी छोड्या क्यूँके मै सारी हाण वैए काम करुँ सूं, जिसतै वो राज्जी होवै सै।”
30 As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he [was] ([from God/the Messiah]).
वो ये बात कहणे लागरया था, के घणखरयां नै उसपै बिश्वास करया।
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.
फेर यीशु नै उन यहूदियाँ तै जिन नै उसपै बिश्वास करया था, बोल्या, “जै थम मेरै वचन म्ह बणे रहोगे, तो साच-ए मेरे चेल्लें ठहरोगे।”
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].”
थम सच नै जाणोगे अर सच थमनै आजाद करैगा।
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]?”
उननै उस ताहीं जवाब दिया, “हम तो अब्राहम के वंशज सा, कदे किसे के गुलाम कोनी बणे। फेर तू किस तरियां कहवै सै, के थम आजाद हो जाओगे?”
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].
यीशु नै उन ताहीं जवाब दिया, “मै थारैतै साच्ची-साच कहूँ सूं, के जो कोए पाप करै सै, वो पाप का गुलाम सै।
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)
गुलाम सारी हाण घर म्ह कोनी रहन्दा, बेट्टा सारी हाण घरां रहवै सै। (aiōn g165)
36 So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.
ज्यांतै जै बेट्टा थमनै आजाद करैगा, तो साच्ये थम आजाद हो जाओगे।
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.
मै जाणु सूं, के थम अब्राहम के वंश के सो, फेर भी थम मेरे वचनां नै कोनी मानते, ज्यांतै थम मन्नै मारणा चाहो सो।
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.”
मै वोए कहूँ सूं, जो मेरे पिता नै मेरे ताहीं दिखाया सै, अर थम वोए करो सों, जो थमनै अपणे पिता तै सुण्या सै।”
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.
उननै उस ताहीं जवाब दिया, “म्हारा पूर्वज तो अब्राहम सै।” यीशु उनतै बोल्या, “जै थम अब्राहम के वंशज होन्दे, तो अब्राहम जिसे काम करदे।
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.
पर इब थम मेरै ताहीं मारणा चाहो सो, जिसनै थारे ताहीं वो साच्चा वचन बताया जो परमेसवर तै सुण्या, इस तरियां तो अब्राहम नै कोनी करया था।
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!”
थम अपणे पिता कै जिसे काम करो सो।” उननै यीशु ताहीं कह्या, “हम जारी तै कोनी जणे, म्हारा एक ए पिता सै यानिके परमेसवर।”
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.
यीशु उनतै बोल्या, “जै परमेसवर थारा पिता होन्दा, तो थम मेरै तै प्यार करदे, क्यूँके मै परमेसवर की ओड़ तै आया सूं। मै खुद कोनी आया, पर उस्से नै मेरै ताहीं भेज्या।
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.
थम मेरी बात क्यांतै न्ही समझदे? ज्यांतै के थम मेरे वचनां नै अपणादे कोनी।
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.
थम अपणे पिता शैतान की ओड़ तै सो, अर अपणे पिता की मर्जी पूरी करणा चाहो सो। वो तो शरु तै ए खून्नी सै, अर सच पै टिक्या ए कोनी रहया, क्यूँके सच उस म्ह सै ए कोनी। जिब वो झूठ बोल्लै सै, तो अपणे सुभाव तै ए बोल्लै सै, क्यूँके वो झूठ्ठा सै बल्के झूठ का बाप सै।
45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!
पर मै जो सच बोल्लू सूं, इस्से करकै थम मेरा बिश्वास कोनी करदे।
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]
थारे म्ह तै कौण मन्नै पापी ठैहरावै सै? जै मै सच बोल्लू सूं, तो थम मेरा बिश्वास क्यांतै न्ही करदे?
47 Those who belong to God habitually obey God’s message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”
जो परमेसवर कान्ही तै होवै सै, वो परमेसवर की बात सुणै सै, अर थम ज्यांतै कोनी सुणदे के परमेसवर की ओड़ तै कोनी सो।”
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!”
न्यू सुण यहूदियाँ नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “के हम ठीक कोनी कहन्दे के तू सामरी सै, अर तेरे म्ह भुन्ड़ी ओपरी आत्मा सै?”
49 Jesus replied, “A demon does not [control] me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!
यीशु नै जवाब दिया, “मेरै म्ह भुन्ड़ी ओपरी आत्मा कोनी,” पर मै अपणे बाप की इज्जत करुँ सूं, अर थम मेरी बेजती करो सो।
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].
पर मै अपणा मान-सम्मान कोनी चाहन्दा, हाँ, एक सै जो चाहवै सै, अर न्याय करण आळा सै।
मै थमनै साच्ची-साच कहूँ सूं, “के जै कोए माणस मेरे वचनां नै मान्नैगा, तो वो अनन्त काल ताहीं कोनी मरै।” (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)
यहूदियाँ नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “इब हम जाणगे के तेरे म्ह भुन्ड़ी ओपरी आत्मा सै। अब्राहम मरग्या अर नबी भी मरग्ये सै, अर तू कहवै सै, ‘जै कोए मेरे वचनां नै मान्नैगा, तो वो अनन्त काल ताहीं कोनी मरै।’ (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]?”
म्हारा पूर्वज अब्राहम तो मरग्या। के तू उसतै भी बड्ड़ा सै? अर नबी भी मरग्ये। तू अपणे-आपनै के मान्नै सै?”
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.
यीशु नै जवाब दिया, “जै मै खुद अपणी महिमा करुँ, तो मेरी महिमा किमे कोनी। पर मेरी महिमा करण आळा मेरा पिता सै, जिसनै थम कहो सो के वो थारा परमेसवर सै।
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.
थमनै तो उस ताहीं कोनी जाण्या, पर मै उस ताहीं जाणु सूं। जै मै कहूँ के मै उस ताहीं कोनी जाण्दा, तो मै थारी ढाळ झूठ्ठा ठहरूँगा, पर मै उस ताहीं जाणु अर उसके वचनां नै मान्नु सूं।
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.”
थारा पूर्वज अब्राहम मेरा दिन देक्खण की आस म्ह घणा मगन था, अर उसनै देख्या अर आनन्द करया।”
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]!”
यहूदियाँ नै उस ताहीं कह्या, “इब ताहीं तू पचास साल का कोनी, फेरभी तन्नै अब्राहम ताहीं देख्या सै?”
58 Jesus said to them, “The truth is that I existed before Abraham was born!”
यीशु उनतै बोल्या, “मै थमनै साच्ची-साच कहूँ सूं, के पैहल्या इसकै के अब्राहम पैदा होया, मै सूं।”
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.
या बात सुणकै माणसां नै यीशु ताहीं मारण खात्तर पत्थर ठाए, पर यीशु लुह्ककै मन्दर तै लिकड़ ग्या।
