John 8
1 But Jesus went [with us disciples] to Olive [Tree] Hill [and we stayed near there that night].
१यीशु जैतून के पहाड़ पर गया।
2 Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple [courtyard]. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.
२और भोर को फिर मन्दिर में आया, और सब लोग उसके पास आए; और वह बैठकर उन्हें उपदेश देने लगा।
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].
३तब शास्त्रियों और फरीसियों ने एक स्त्री को लाकर जो व्यभिचार में पकड़ी गई थी, और उसको बीच में खड़ा करके यीशु से कहा,
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.
४“हे गुरु, यह स्त्री व्यभिचार करते पकड़ी गई है।
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]?”
५व्यवस्था में मूसा ने हमें आज्ञा दी है कि ऐसी स्त्रियों को पथराव करें; अतः तू इस स्त्री के विषय में क्या कहता है?”
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.
६उन्होंने उसको परखने के लिये यह बात कही ताकि उस पर दोष लगाने के लिये कोई बात पाएँ, परन्तु यीशु झुककर उँगली से भूमि पर लिखने लगा।
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.”
७जब वे उससे पूछते रहे, तो उसने सीधे होकर उनसे कहा, “तुम में जो निष्पाप हो, वही पहले उसको पत्थर मारे।”
8 Then he stooped down and wrote [some more] on the ground.
८और फिर झुककर भूमि पर उँगली से लिखने लगा।
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.
९परन्तु वे यह सुनकर बड़ों से लेकर छोटों तक एक-एक करके निकल गए, और यीशु अकेला रह गया, और स्त्री वहीं बीच में खड़ी रह गई।
10 Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”
१०यीशु ने सीधे होकर उससे कहा, “हे नारी, वे कहाँ गए? क्या किसी ने तुझ पर दण्ड की आज्ञा न दी?”
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!”]
११उसने कहा, “हे प्रभु, किसी ने नहीं।” यीशु ने कहा, “मैं भी तुझ पर दण्ड की आज्ञा नहीं देता; जा, और फिर पाप न करना।”
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.”
१२तब यीशु ने फिर लोगों से कहा, “जगत की ज्योति मैं हूँ; जो मेरे पीछे हो लेगा, वह अंधकार में न चलेगा, परन्तु जीवन की ज्योति पाएगा।”
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.”
१३फरीसियों ने उससे कहा; “तू अपनी गवाही आप देता है; तेरी गवाही ठीक नहीं।”
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.
१४यीशु ने उनको उत्तर दिया, “यदि मैं अपनी गवाही आप देता हूँ, तो भी मेरी गवाही ठीक है, क्योंकिमैं जानता हूँ, कि मैं कहाँ से आया हूँऔर कहाँ को जाता हूँ? परन्तु तुम नहीं जानते कि मैं कहाँ से आता हूँ या कहाँ को जाता हूँ।
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].
१५तुम शरीर के अनुसार न्याय करते हो; मैं किसी का न्याय नहीं करता।
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.
१६और यदि मैं न्याय करूँ भी, तो मेरा न्याय सच्चा है; क्योंकि मैं अकेला नहीं, परन्तु मैं पिता के साथ हूँ, जिसने मुझे भेजा है।
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.
१७और तुम्हारी व्यवस्था में भी लिखा है; कि दो जनों की गवाही मिलकर ठीक होती है।
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].”
१८एक तो मैं आप अपनी गवाही देता हूँ, और दूसरा पिता मेरी गवाही देता है जिसने मुझे भेजा।”
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.”
१९उन्होंने उससे कहा, “तेरा पिता कहाँ है?” यीशु ने उत्तर दिया, “न तुम मुझे जानते हो, न मेरे पिता को, यदि मुझे जानते, तो मेरे पिता को भी जानते।”
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].
२०ये बातें उसने मन्दिर में उपदेश देते हुए भण्डार घर में कहीं, और किसी ने उसे न पकड़ा; क्योंकि उसका समय अब तक नहीं 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.”
२१उसने फिर उनसे कहा, “मैं जाता हूँ, और तुम मुझे ढूँढ़ोगे और अपने पाप में मरोगे; जहाँ मैं जाता हूँ, वहाँ तुम नहीं आ सकते।”
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’?”
२२इस पर यहूदियों ने कहा, “क्या वह अपने आपको मार डालेगा, जो कहता है, ‘जहाँ मैं जाता हूँ वहाँ तुम नहीं आ सकते’?”
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.
२३उसने उनसे कहा, “तुम नीचे के हो, मैं ऊपर का हूँ; तुम संसार के हो, मैं संसार का नहीं।
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.”
२४इसलिए मैंने तुम से कहा, कि तुम अपने पापों में मरोगे; क्योंकि यदि तुम विश्वास न करोगे कि मैं वही हूँ, तो अपने पापों में मरोगे।”
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!
२५उन्होंने उससे कहा, “तू कौन है?” यीशु ने उनसे कहा, “वही हूँ जो प्रारम्भ से तुम से कहता आया हूँ।
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.”
२६तुम्हारे विषय में मुझे बहुत कुछ कहना और निर्णय करना है परन्तु मेरा भेजनेवाला सच्चा है; और जो मैंने उससे सुना है, वही जगत से कहता हूँ।”
27 They did not understand that he was talking about his Father [in heaven].
२७वे न समझे कि हम से पिता के विषय में कहता है।
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.
२८तब यीशु ने कहा, “जब तुम मनुष्य के पुत्र को ऊँचे पर चढ़ाओगे, तो जानोगे कि मैं वही हूँ, और अपने आप से कुछ नहीं करता, परन्तु जैसे मेरे पिता परमेश्वर ने मुझे सिखाया, वैसे ही ये बातें कहता हूँ।
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.”
२९और मेरा भेजनेवाला मेरे साथ है; उसने मुझे अकेला नहीं छोड़ा; क्योंकि मैं सर्वदा वही काम करता हूँ, जिससे वह प्रसन्न होता है।”
30 As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he [was] ([from God/the Messiah]).
३०वह ये बातें कह ही रहा था, कि बहुतों ने यीशु पर विश्वास किया।
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.
३१तब यीशु ने उन यहूदियों से जिन्होंने उस पर विश्वास किया था, कहा, “यदि तुम मेरे वचन में बने रहोगे, तो सचमुच मेरे चेले 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].”
३२और सत्य को जानोगे, और सत्य तुम्हें स्वतंत्र करेगा।”
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]?”
३३उन्होंने उसको उत्तर दिया, “हम तो अब्राहम के वंश से हैं, और कभी किसी के दास नहीं हुए; फिर तू क्यों कहता है, कि तुम स्वतंत्र 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].
३४यीशु ने उनको उत्तर दिया, “मैं तुम से सच-सच कहता हूँ कि जो कोई पाप करता है, वह पाप का दास है।
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)
३५और दास सदा घर में नहीं रहता; पुत्र सदा रहता है। (aiōn g165)
36 So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.
३६इसलिए यदि पुत्र तुम्हें स्वतंत्र करेगा, तो सचमुच तुम स्वतंत्र 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.
३७मैं जानता हूँ कि तुम अब्राहम के वंश से हो; तो भी मेरा वचन तुम्हारे हृदय में जगह नहीं पाता, इसलिए तुम मुझे मार डालना चाहते हो।
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.”
३८मैं वही कहता हूँ, जो अपने पिता के यहाँ देखा है; और तुम वही करते रहते हो जो तुम ने अपने पिता से सुना है।”
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.
३९उन्होंने उसको उत्तर दिया, “हमारा पिता तो अब्राहम है।” यीशु ने उनसे कहा, “यदि तुम अब्राहम के सन्तान होते, तो अब्राहम के समान काम करते।
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.
४०परन्तु अब तुम मुझ जैसे मनुष्य को मार डालना चाहते हो, जिसने तुम्हें वह सत्य वचन बताया जो परमेश्वर से सुना, यह तो अब्राहम ने नहीं किया 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!”
४१तुम अपने पिता के समान काम करते हो” उन्होंने उससे कहा, “हम व्यभिचार से नहीं जन्मे, हमारा एक पिता है अर्थात् परमेश्वर।”
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.
४२यीशु ने उनसे कहा, “यदि परमेश्वर तुम्हारा पिता होता, तो तुम मुझसे प्रेम रखते; क्योंकि मैं परमेश्वर में से निकलकर आया हूँ; मैं आप से नहीं आया, परन्तु उसी ने मुझे भेजा।
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.
४३तुम मेरी बात क्यों नहीं समझते? इसलिए कि मेरा वचन सुन नहीं सकते।
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.
४४तुम अपने पिता शैतान से हो, और अपने पिता की लालसाओं को पूरा करना चाहते हो। वह तो आरम्भ से हत्यारा है, और सत्य पर स्थिर न रहा, क्योंकि सत्य उसमें है ही नहीं; जब वह झूठ बोलता, तो अपने स्वभाव ही से बोलता है; क्योंकि वह झूठा है, वरन् झूठ का पिता है।
45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!
४५परन्तु मैं जो सच बोलता हूँ, इसलिए तुम मेरा विश्वास नहीं करते।
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]
४६तुम में से कौन मुझे पापी ठहराता है? और यदि मैं सच बोलता हूँ, तो तुम मेरा विश्वास क्यों नहीं करते?
47 Those who belong to God habitually obey God’s message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”
४७जो परमेश्वर से होता है, वह परमेश्वर की बातें सुनता है; और तुम इसलिए नहीं सुनते कि परमेश्वर की ओर से नहीं हो।”
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!”
४८यह सुन यहूदियों ने उससे कहा, “क्या हम ठीक नहीं कहते, कि तू सामरी है, और तुझ में दुष्टात्मा है?”
49 Jesus replied, “A demon does not [control] me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!
४९यीशु ने उत्तर दिया, “मुझ में दुष्टात्मा नहीं; परन्तु मैं अपने पिता का आदर करता हूँ, और तुम मेरा निरादर करते हो।
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].
५०परन्तु मैं अपनी प्रतिष्ठा नहीं चाहता, हाँ, एक है जो चाहता है, और न्याय करता है।
५१मैं तुम से सच-सच कहता हूँ, कि यदि कोई व्यक्ति मेरे वचन पर चलेगा, तो वह अनन्तकाल तक मृत्यु को न देखेगा।” (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)
५२लोगों ने उससे कहा, “अब हमने जान लिया कि तुझ में दुष्टात्मा है: अब्राहम मर गया, और भविष्यद्वक्ता भी मर गए हैं और तू कहता है, ‘यदि कोई मेरे वचन पर चलेगा तो वह अनन्तकाल तक मृत्यु का स्वाद न चखेगा।’ (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]?”
५३हमारा पिता अब्राहम तो मर गया, क्या तू उससे बड़ा है? और भविष्यद्वक्ता भी मर गए, तू अपने आपको क्या ठहराता है?”
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.
५४यीशु ने उत्तर दिया, “यदि मैं आप अपनी महिमा करूँ, तो मेरी महिमा कुछ नहीं, परन्तु मेरी महिमा करनेवाला मेरा पिता है, जिसे तुम कहते हो, कि वह हमारा परमेश्वर है।
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.
५५और तुम ने तो उसे नहीं जाना: परन्तु मैं उसे जानता हूँ; और यदि कहूँ कि मैं उसे नहीं जानता, तो मैं तुम्हारे समान झूठा ठहरूँगा: परन्तु मैं उसे जानता, और उसके वचन पर चलता हूँ।
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.”
५६तुम्हारा पिता अब्राहम मेरा दिन देखने की आशा से बहुत मगन था; और उसने देखा, और आनन्द किया।”
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]!”
५७लोगों ने उससे कहा, “अब तक तू पचास वर्ष का नहीं, फिर भी तूने अब्राहम को देखा है?”
58 Jesus said to them, “The truth is that I existed before Abraham was born!”
५८यीशु ने उनसे कहा, “मैं तुम से सच-सच कहता हूँ, कि पहले इसके कि अब्राहम उत्पन्न हुआ, मैं हूँ।”
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.
५९तब उन्होंने उसे मारने के लिये पत्थर उठाए, परन्तु यीशु छिपकर मन्दिर से निकल गया।
