John 8
1 But Jesus went [with us disciples] to Olive [Tree] Hill [and we stayed near there that night].
HELE aku la o Iesu i ka mauna o Oliveta.
2 Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple [courtyard]. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.
A i ka wanaao hoi hou ia i ka luakini, a hele aku la na kanaka a pau io na la; a noho iho la ia, a ao mai la ia lakou.
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].
Alakai aku la na kakauolelo a me na Parisaio io na la i kekahi wahine i loaa e moe kolohe ana; a hooku aku la ia ia iwaena;
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.
Olelo aku la lakou ia ia, E ke Kumu, ua loaa keia wahine e moe kolohe ana.
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]?”
Kauoha mai la o Mose ia makou iloko o ke kanawai, e hailukuia i ka pohaku ka mea i hana pela: heaha hoi kau e olelo mai ai?
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.
Olelo aku lakou i keia i mea e hoao ai ia ia, i loaa'i ia lakou ka mea e hoahewa aku ai ia ia. Kulou iho la o Iesu ilalo, a kahakaha iho la kona lima ma ka lepo.
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.”
A i ko lakou ninau mau ana'ku ia ia, ea ae la ia iluna, i mai la ia lakou, O ka mea hala ole o oukou, oia mua ke pehi aku ia ia i ka pohaku.
8 Then he stooped down and wrote [some more] on the ground.
Kulou hon iho la ia ilalo, a kahakaha iho la ma ka lepo.
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.
A lohe ae la lakou, a na hoahewaia lakou e ko lakou lunaikehala, hele pakahi aku la lakou iwaho, mai na lunakahiko ka hoomaka ana, a hiki i ka poe ilalo loa; a koe iho la o Iesu wale no, a me ka wahine e ku ana iwaena.
10 Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”
Ea ae la o Iesu iluna, aohe mea e ae ana i ike ai, o ka wahine wale no, ninau mai la ia ia, E ka wahine, auhea la kela poe i hoopii mai nei ia oe? aole anei kekahi i hoopai mai ia oe?
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!”]
I aku la ia, Aole kekahi, e ka Haku. I mai la o Iesu ia ia, Aole no hoi au e hoopai aku ia oe: e hele oe, mai hana hewa hou aku.
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.”
Olelo hou mai la o leau ia lakou, i mai la, Owau no ka malamalama o ke ao nei: o ka mea e hahai mai ia'u, aole ia e hele i ka ponli, aka, e loaa ia ia ka malamalama e ola'i.
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.”
Nolaila olelo aku la na Parisaio ia ia, Ke hoike nei oe nou iho, aole pono kau hoike ana.
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.
Olelo mai la o Iesu i mai la ia lakou, Ina e hoike aku au no'u iho he pono ka'u hoike ana; no ka mea, ua ike au i ko'u wahi i hele mai ai, a me ko'u wahi e hele aku ai: aka, aole oukou i ike i ko'u wahi i hele mai ai, a me ko'u wahi e hele aku ai.
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].
Ke hoahewa nei oukou mamuli o ke kino, aole au e hoahewa aku i kekahi.
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.
Ina e hoahewa aku au, he pono ka'u hoohewa ana; no ka mea, aole owau wale no, aka, o maua me ka Makua nana au i hoouna mai.
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.
Ua palapalaia iloko o ko oukou kanawai, he pono ka hoike ana a na kanaka elua.
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].”
Owau no kekahi e hoike no'u iho, a o ka Makua nana au i hoouna mai, oia kekahi e hoike mai no'u.
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.”
No ia mea ninau aku la lakou ia ia, Auhea kou Makua? I mai la o Iesu, Aole oukou i ike ia'u, aole hoi i ko'u Makua: ina ua ike oukou ia'u, ina ua ike no hoi oukou i ko'u Makua.
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].
Olelo mai la o Iesu i keia mau olelo ma kahi waihonakala, i kana ao ana iloko o ka luakini; aole hoi kekahi i lalau aku ia ia; no ka mea, aole i hiki mai kona manawa.
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.”
Olelo hou mai la o Iesu ia lakou, E hele aku ana au, a e imi oukou ia'u, a e make oukou iloko o ko oukou hewa: a i ko'u wahi e hele ai, aole e hiki ia oukou ke he le ilaila.
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’?”
Alaila olelo iho la na Iudaio, E pepehi anei kela ia ia iho? no ka mea, i mai la ia, I ko'u wahi e hele ai, aole e hiki ia oukou ke hele ilaila.
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.
I mai la oia ia lakou, No lalo nei oukou; no luna mai no wau; no ke ao nei oukou; aole wau no ke ao nei.
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.”
No ia mea i olelo aku ai au ia oukou, E make auanei oukou iloko o ko oukou hewa; no ka mea, a i ole oukou e manao mai, owau no ia, e make no oukou iloko o ko oukou hewa.
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!
Nolaila ninau aku la lakou ia ia, Owai oe? I mai la o Iesu ia lakou, Owau no ka mea a'u i hai aku ai ia oukou i kinohi.
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.”
He nui ka'u mau mea e olelo aku ai, a e hoohewa aku ai ia oukou: aka, o ka mea nana au i hoouna mai ho oiaio ia; a o na mea a'u i lohe ai ia ia, oia ka'u e olelo aku nei i ko ke ao nei.
27 They did not understand that he was talking about his Father [in heaven].
Aole lakou i ike, o ka Makua, kana i olelo mai ai ia lakou.
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.
No ia hoi, olelo mai la o Iesu ia lakou, Aia kau aku oukou i ke Keiki a ke kanaka iluna, alaila e ike oukou, owau no ia, aole hoi na'u wale iho e hana aku i kekahi mea; aka, o na mea a ko'u Makua i ao mai ai ia'u, oia na mea a'u o olelo aku nei.
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.”
A o ka mea nana au i hoouna mai oia pu kekahi me au: aole i waiho wale mai ka Makua ia'u owau wale no; no ka mea, ke hana mau nei au i na mea ana i oluolu ai.
30 As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he [was] ([from God/the Messiah]).
I kana olelo ana ia mau mea, nui ka poe i manaoio ia ia.
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.
Alaila olelo mai la o Iesu i ka poe Iudaio i manaoio ia ia, Ina e hoomau oukou ma ka'u olelo, alaila he poe haumana io oukou na'u.
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].”
A e ike auanei oukou i ka oiaio, a o ka oiaio e kuu aku ia oukou.
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]?”
Olelo aku la lakou ia ia, He mamo makou na Aberahama, aole loa makou i noho pio na kekahi: pehea la kau i olelo mai ai, E kuuia oukou?
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].
Olelo mai la Iesu ia lakou, Oiaio, he oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, o ka mea e hana ana i ka hewa, he kauwa ia na ka hewa.
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)
Aole e noho mau loa ke kauwa ma ka hale, aka, o ke Keiki oia ke noho mau loa. (aiōn g165)
36 So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.
Ina na ke Keiki oukou e hoonoho kaawale, alaila e kaawale io oukou.
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.
Ua ike no au, he mamo oukou na Aberahama; aka, ke imi nei oukou ia'u e pepehi, no ka mea, aole i komo io ka'u olelo iloko o oukou.
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.”
Ke olelo aku nei au i ka mea a'u i ike ai i ko'u Makua: a ke hana nei hoi oukou i ka mea a oukou i ike ai i ko oukou makua.
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.
Olelo aku la lakou, i aku la ia ia, O Aberahama ko makou makua. I mai la o Iesu ia lakou, Ina he poe keiki oukou na Aberahama, ina ua hana oukou i na hana a Aberahama.
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.
Aka, ano ke imi nei oukou e pepehi ia'u, i ke kanaka nana i hai aku ia oukou ka oiaio a'u i lohe ai i ke Akua; aole pela ka Aberahama i hana'i.
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!”
Ke hana nei oukou i na hana a ko oukou makua. Alaila olelo aku la lakou ia ia, Aole makou i hanauia no ka moe kolohe; hookahi o makou Makua, o ke Akua.
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.
Olelo mai la o Iesu ia lakou, Ina o ke Akua ko oukou Makua, ina ua aloha mai oukou ia'u; no ka mea, no ke Akua mai au a hele mai nei: aole na'u wale iho i hele mai nei, aka, nana no au i hoouna mai.
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.
No ke aha la i ike ole ai oukou i ka'u olelo? no ka mea, no ka hiki ole ia oukou ke hoolohe i ka'u olelo.
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.
Na ko oukou makua oukou na ka diabolo, a makemake no oukou e hana i na kuko o ko oukou makua. He pepehi kanaka ia mai ke kumu mai, aole ia i ku ma ka oiaio, no ka mea, aohe oiaio iloko ona. Iua olelo oia i ka wahahee, olelo no oia i kana iho: no ka mea, he wahahee oia, a o ka makua hoi ia no ka wahahee.
45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!
A no ka'u olelo ana'ku i ka oiaio, oia ka mea i manaoio ole mai ai oukou ia'u.
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]
Owai la ka mea o oukou e hoike mai i ko'u hewa? Ina olelo aku au i ka oiaio, no ke aha la oukou i manaoio ole mai ai ia'u?
47 Those who belong to God habitually obey God’s message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”
O ka mea no ke Akua, oia ke hoolohe i ka ke Akua olelo: aole no oukou e hooloho mai, no ka mea, aole no ke Akua oukou.
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!”
Olelo aku la na Iudaio, i aku la ia ia, Aole anei he pono ke olelo makou, o ka Samaria oe, he daimonio hoi kon?
49 Jesus replied, “A demon does not [control] me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!
Olelo mai la o Iesu, Aole o'u daimonio: aka, ke hoomaikai nei au i ko'u Makua, a ke hoino mai nei oukou ia'u.
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].
Aole au e imi i ko'u hauohano iho: hookahi no mea nana e imi a e hoopono mai.
Oiaio, he oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, Ina e malama kekahi i ka'u olelo, aole loa ia e ike i ka make. (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)
Alaila olelo aku la na Iudaio ia ia, Ano la, ua ike makou, he daimonio kou. Ua make o Aberahama a me na kaula; a ke olelo mai nei oe, Ina e malama kekahi i ka'u olelo, aole loa ia e make. (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]?”
Ua oi aku anei oe mamua o Aberahama, o ko makou kupuna, ka mea i make? a ua make hoi na kaula; owai la oe i kou manao iho?
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.
Olelo mai la o Iesu, Ina e hoomaikai au ia'u iho, he mea ole ko'u hoomaikai ana; o ko'u Makua ke hoomaikai mai ia'u, o ka mea a oukou e olelo nei, o ko oukou Akua ia.
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.
Aole nae oukou i ike ia ia, owau ka i ike ia ia; ina e olelo aku au, aole au i ike ia ia, ina ua like au me oukou, he wahahee: aka, ua ike au ia ia, ke malama no hoi au i kana olelo.
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.”
Olioli iho la o Aberahama, e ike i ko'u manawa; a ike iho la no ia, a hauoli iho la.
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]!”
Olelo aku la na Iudaio ia ia, Aole ou kahalima makahiki, a ua ike anei oe ia Aberahama?
58 Jesus said to them, “The truth is that I existed before Abraham was born!”
I aku la o Iesu ia lakou, Oiaio, he oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, Mamua o ko Aberahama noho ana, Owau no.
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.
Alaila lalau iho la lakou i na pohaku e pehi ia ia: hele malu aku la o Iesu iwaho o ka luakini mawaena o lakou, pela oia i pakele ai.
