< John 8 >

1 But Jesus went [with us disciples] to Olive [Tree] Hill [and we stayed near there that night].
پْرَتْیُوشے یِیشُح پَنَرْمَنْدِرَمْ آگَچّھَتْ
2 Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple [courtyard]. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.
تَتَح سَرْوّیشُ لوکیشُ تَسْیَ سَمِیپَ آگَتیشُ سَ اُپَوِشْیَ تانْ اُپَدیشْٹُمْ آرَبھَتَ۔
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].
تَدا اَدھْیاپَکاح پھِرُوشِنَنْچَ وْیَبھِچارَکَرْمَّنِ دھرِتَں سْتْرِیَمیکامْ آنِیَ سَرْوّیشاں مَدھْیے سْتھاپَیِتْوا وْیاہَرَنْ
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.
ہے گُرو یوشِتَمْ اِماں وْیَبھِچارَکَرْمَّ کُرْوّاناں لوکا دھرِتَوَنْتَح۔
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]?”
ایتادرِشَلوکاح پاشاناگھاتینَ ہَنْتَوْیا اِتِ وِدھِرْمُوساوْیَوَسْتھاگْرَنْتھے لِکھِتوسْتِ کِنْتُ بھَوانْ کِمادِشَتِ؟
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.
تے تَمَپَوَدِتُں پَرِیکْشابھِپْرایینَ واکْیَمِدَمْ اَپرِچّھَنْ کِنْتُ سَ پْرَہْوِیبھُویَ بھُوماوَنْگَلْیا لیکھِتُمْ آرَبھَتَ۔
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.”
تَتَسْتَیح پُنَح پُنَح پرِشْٹَ اُتّھایَ کَتھِتَوانْ یُشْماکَں مَدھْیے یو جَنو نِرَپَرادھِی سَایوَ پْرَتھَمَمْ ایناں پاشانیناہَنْتُ۔
8 Then he stooped down and wrote [some more] on the ground.
پَشْچاتْ سَ پُنَشْچَ پْرَہْوِیبھُویَ بھُومَو لیکھِتُمْ آرَبھَتَ۔
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.
تاں کَتھَں شْرُتْوا تے سْوَسْوَمَنَسِ پْرَبودھَں پْراپْیَ جْییشْٹھانُکْرَمَں ایکَیکَشَح سَرْوّے بَہِرَگَچّھَنْ تَتو یِیشُریکاکِی تَیَکْتّوبھَوَتْ مَدھْیَسْتھانے دَنْڈایَمانا سا یوشا چَ سْتھِتا۔
10 Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”
تَتْپَشْچادْ یِیشُرُتّھایَ تاں وَنِتاں وِنا کَمَپْیَپَرَں نَ وِلوکْیَ پرِشْٹَوانْ ہے وامے تَواپَوادَکاح کُتْرَ؟ کوپِ تْواں کِں نَ دَنْڈَیَتِ؟
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!”]
ساوَدَتْ ہے مَہیچّھَ کوپِ نَ تَدا یِیشُرَووچَتْ ناہَمَپِ دَنْڈَیامِ یاہِ پُنَح پاپَں ماکارْشِیح۔
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.”
تَتو یِیشُح پُنَرَپِ لوکیبھْیَ اِتّھَں کَتھَیِتُمْ آرَبھَتَ جَگَتوہَں جْیوتِحسْوَرُوپو یَح کَشْچِنْ مَتْپَشْچادَ گَچّھَتِ سَ تِمِرے نَ بھْرَمِتْوا جِیوَنَرُوپاں دِیپْتِں پْراپْسْیَتِ۔
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.”
تَتَح پھِرُوشِنووادِشُسْتْوَں سْوارْتھے سْوَیَں ساکْشْیَں دَداسِ تَسْماتْ تَوَ ساکْشْیَں گْراہْیَں نَ بھَوَتِ۔
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.
تَدا یِیشُح پْرَتْیُدِتَوانْ یَدْیَپِ سْوارْتھےہَں سْوَیَں ساکْشْیَں دَدامِ تَتھاپِ مَتْ ساکْشْیَں گْراہْیَں یَسْمادْ اَہَں کُتَ آگَتوسْمِ کْوَ یامِ چَ تَدَہَں جانامِ کِنْتُ کُتَ آگَتوسْمِ کُتْرَ گَچّھامِ چَ تَدْ یُویَں نَ جانِیتھَ۔
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].
یُویَں لَوکِکَں وِچارَیَتھَ ناہَں کِمَپِ وِچارَیامِ۔
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.
کِنْتُ یَدِ وِچارَیامِ تَرْہِ مَمَ وِچارو گْرَہِیتَوْیو یَتوہَمْ ایکاکِی ناسْمِ پْریرَیِتا پِتا مَیا سَہَ وِدْیَتے۔
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.
دْوَیو رْجَنَیوح ساکْشْیَں گْرَہَنِییَں بھَوَتِیتِ یُشْماکَں وْیَوَسْتھاگْرَنْتھے لِکھِتَمَسْتِ۔
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].”
اَہَں سْوارْتھے سْوَیَں ساکْشِتْوَں دَدامِ یَشْچَ مَمَ تاتو ماں پْریرِتَوانْ سوپِ مَدَرْتھے ساکْشْیَں دَداتِ۔
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.”
تَدا تےپرِچّھَنْ تَوَ تاتَح کُتْرَ؟ تَتو یِیشُح پْرَتْیَوادِیدْ یُویَں ماں نَ جانِیتھَ مَتْپِتَرَنْچَ نَ جانِیتھَ یَدِ مامْ اَکْشاسْیَتَ تَرْہِ مَمَ تاتَمَپْیَکْشاسْیَتَ۔
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].
یِیشُ رْمَنْدِرَ اُپَدِشْیَ بھَنْڈاگارے کَتھا ایتا اَکَتھَیَتْ تَتھاپِ تَں پْرَتِ کوپِ کَرَں نودَتولَیَتْ۔
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.”
تَتَح پَرَں یِیشُح پُنَرُدِتَوانْ اَدھُناہَں گَچّھامِ یُویَں ماں گَویشَیِشْیَتھَ کِنْتُ نِجَیح پاپَے رْمَرِشْیَتھَ یَتْ سْتھانَمْ اَہَں یاسْیامِ تَتْ سْتھانَمْ یُویَں یاتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتھَ۔
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’?”
تَدا یِہُودِییاح پْراووچَنْ کِمَیَمْ آتْمَگھاتَں کَرِشْیَتِ؟ یَتو یَتْ سْتھانَمْ اَہَں یاسْیامِ تَتْ سْتھانَمْ یُویَں یاتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتھَ اِتِ واکْیَں بْرَوِیتِ۔
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.
تَتو یِیشُسْتیبھْیَح کَتھِتَوانْ یُویَمْ اَدھَحسْتھانِییا لوکا اَہَمْ اُورْدْوَّسْتھانِییَح یُویَمْ ایتَجَّگَتْسَمْبَنْدھِییا اَہَمْ ایتَجَّگَتْسَمْبَنْدھِییو نَ۔
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.”
تَسْماتْ کَتھِتَوانْ یُویَں نِجَیح پاپَے رْمَرِشْیَتھَ یَتوہَں سَ پُمانْ اِتِ یَدِ نَ وِشْوَسِتھَ تَرْہِ نِجَیح پاپَے رْمَرِشْیَتھَ۔
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!
تَدا تے پرِچّھَنْ کَسْتْوَں؟ تَتو یِیشُح کَتھِتَوانْ یُشْماکَں سَنِّدھَو یَسْیَ پْرَسْتاوَمْ آ پْرَتھَماتْ کَرومِ سَایوَ پُرُشوہَں۔
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.”
یُشْماسُ مَیا بَہُواکْیَں وَکْتَّوْیَں وِچارَیِتَوْیَنْچَ کِنْتُ مَتْپْریرَیِتا سَتْیَوادِی تَسْیَ سَمِیپے یَدَہَں شْرُتَوانْ تَدیوَ جَگَتے کَتھَیامِ۔
27 They did not understand that he was talking about his Father [in heaven].
کِنْتُ سَ جَنَکے واکْیَمِدَں پْروکْتَّوانْ اِتِ تے نابُدھْیَنْتَ۔
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.
تَتو یِیشُرَکَتھَیَدْ یَدا مَنُشْیَپُتْرَمْ اُورْدْوَّ اُتّھاپَیِشْیَتھَ تَداہَں سَ پُمانْ کیوَلَح سْوَیَں کِمَپِ کَرْمَّ نَ کَرومِ کِنْتُ تاتو یَتھا شِکْشَیَتِ تَدَنُسارینَ واکْیَمِدَں وَدامِیتِ چَ یُویَں جْناتُں شَکْشْیَتھَ۔
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.”
مَتْپْریرَیِتا پِتا مامْ ایکاکِنَں نَ تْیَجَتِ سَ مَیا سارْدّھَں تِشْٹھَتِ یَتوہَں تَدَبھِمَتَں کَرْمَّ سَدا کَرومِ۔
30 As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he [was] ([from God/the Messiah]).
تَدا تَسْیَیتانِ واکْیانِ شْرُتْوا بَہُوَسْتاسْمِنْ وْیَشْوَسَنْ۔
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.
یے یِہُودِییا وْیَشْوَسَنْ یِیشُسْتیبھْیوکَتھَیَتْ
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].”
مَمَ واکْیے یَدِ یُویَمْ آسْتھاں کُرُتھَ تَرْہِ مَمَ شِشْیا بھُوتْوا سَتْیَتْوَں جْناسْیَتھَ تَتَح سَتْیَتَیا یُشْماکَں موکْشو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔
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]?”
تَدا تے پْرَتْیَوادِشُح وَیَمْ اِبْراہِیمو وَںشَح کَداپِ کَسْیاپِ داسا نَ جاتاسْتَرْہِ یُشْماکَں مُکْتِّ رْبھَوِشْیَتِیتِ واکْیَں کَتھَں بْرَوِیشِ؟
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].
تَدا یِیشُح پْرَتْیَوَدَدْ یُشْمانَہَں یَتھارْتھَتَرَں وَدامِ یَح پاپَں کَروتِ سَ پاپَسْیَ داسَح۔
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)
داسَشْچَ نِرَنْتَرَں نِویشَنے نَ تِشْٹھَتِ کِنْتُ پُتْرو نِرَنْتَرَں تِشْٹھَتِ۔ (aiōn g165)
36 So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.
اَتَح پُتْرو یَدِ یُشْمانْ موچَیَتِ تَرْہِ نِتانْتَمیوَ مُکْتّا بھَوِشْیَتھَ۔
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.
یُیَمْ اِبْراہِیمو وَںشَ اِتْیَہَں جانامِ کِنْتُ مَمَ کَتھا یُشْماکَمْ اَنْتَحکَرَنیشُ سْتھانَں نَ پْراپْنُوَنْتِ تَسْمادّھیتو رْماں ہَنْتُمْ اِیہَدھْوے۔
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.”
اَہَں سْوَپِتُح سَمِیپے یَدَپَشْیَں تَدیوَ کَتھَیامِ تَتھا یُویَمَپِ سْوَپِتُح سَمِیپے یَدَپَشْیَتَ تَدیوَ کُرُدھْوے۔
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.
تَدا تے پْرَتْیَووچَنْ اِبْراہِیمْ اَسْماکَں پِتا تَتو یِیشُرَکَتھَیَدْ یَدِ یُویَمْ اِبْراہِیمَح سَنْتانا اَبھَوِشْیَتَ تَرْہِ اِبْراہِیمَ آچارَنَوَدْ آچَرِشْیَتَ۔
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.
اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مُکھاتْ سَتْیَں واکْیَں شْرُتْوا یُشْمانْ جْناپَیامِ یوہَں تَں ماں ہَنْتُں چیشْٹَدھْوے اِبْراہِیمْ ایتادرِشَں کَرْمَّ نَ چَکارَ۔
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!”
یُویَں سْوَسْوَپِتُح کَرْمّانِ کُرُتھَ تَدا تَیرُکْتَّں نَ وَیَں جارَجاتا اَسْماکَمْ ایکَایوَ پِتاسْتِ سَ ایویشْوَرَح
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.
تَتو یِیشُنا کَتھِتَمْ اِیشْوَرو یَدِ یُشْماکَں تاتوبھَوِشْیَتْ تَرْہِ یُویَں مَیِ پْریماکَرِشْیَتَ یَتوہَمْ اِیشْوَرانِّرْگَتْیاگَتوسْمِ سْوَتو ناگَتوہَں سَ ماں پْراہِنوتْ۔
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.
یُویَں مَمَ واکْیَمِدَں نَ بُدھْیَدھْوے کُتَح؟ یَتو یُویَں مَموپَدیشَں سوڈھُں نَ شَکْنُتھَ۔
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.
یُویَں شَیتانْ پِتُح سَنْتانا ایتَسْمادْ یُشْماکَں پِتُرَبھِلاشَں پُورَیَتھَ سَ آ پْرَتھَماتْ نَرَگھاتِی تَدَنْتَح سَتْیَتْوَسْیَ لیشوپِ ناسْتِ کارَنادَتَح سَ سَتْیَتایاں ناتِشْٹھَتْ سَ یَدا مرِشا کَتھَیَتِ تَدا نِجَسْوَبھاوانُسارینَیوَ کَتھَیَتِ یَتو سَ مرِشابھاشِی مرِشوتْپادَکَشْچَ۔
45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!
اَہَں تَتھْیَواکْیَں وَدامِ کارَنادَسْمادْ یُویَں ماں نَ پْرَتِیتھَ۔
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]

47 Those who belong to God habitually obey God’s message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”
یَح کَشْچَنَ اِیشْوَرِییو لوکَح سَ اِیشْوَرِییَکَتھایاں مَنو نِدھَتّے یُویَمْ اِیشْوَرِییَلوکا نَ بھَوَتھَ تَنِّداناتْ تَتْرَ نَ مَناںسِ نِدھَدْوے۔
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!”
تَدا یِہُودِییاح پْرَتْیَوادِشُح تْوَمیکَح شومِرونِییو بھُوتَگْرَسْتَشْچَ وَیَں کِمِدَں بھَدْرَں ناوادِشْمَ؟
49 Jesus replied, “A demon does not [control] me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!
تَتو یِیشُح پْرَتْیَوادِیتْ ناہَں بھُوتَگْرَسْتَح کِنْتُ نِجَتاتَں سَمَّنْیے تَسْمادْ یُویَں مامْ اَپَمَنْیَدھْوے۔
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].
اَہَں سْوَسُکھْیاتِں نَ چیشْٹے کِنْتُ چیشْٹِتا وِچارَیِتا چاپَرَ ایکَ آسْتے۔
51 But the truth is that anyone who obeys what I say will never die!” (aiōn g165)
اَہَں یُشْمَبھْیَمْ اَتِیوَ یَتھارْتھَں کَتھَیامِ یو نَرو مَدِییَں واچَں مَنْیَتے سَ کَداچَنَ نِدھَنَں نَ دْرَکْشْیَتِ۔ (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)
یِہُودِییاسْتَمَوَدَنْ تْوَں بھُوتَگْرَسْتَ اِتِیدانِیمْ اَوَیشْمَ۔ اِبْراہِیمْ بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنَنْچَ سَرْوّے مرِتاح کِنْتُ تْوَں بھاشَسے یو نَرو مَمَ بھارَتِیں گرِہْلاتِ سَ جاتُ نِدھاناسْوادَں نَ لَپْسْیَتے۔ (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]?”
تَرْہِ تْوَں کِمْ اَسْماکَں پُورْوَّپُرُشادْ اِبْراہِیموپِ مَہانْ؟ یَسْماتْ سوپِ مرِتَح بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنوپِ مرِتاح تْوَں سْوَں کَں پُماںسَں مَنُشے؟
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.
یِیشُح پْرَتْیَووچَدْ یَدْیَہَں سْوَں سْوَیَں سَمَّنْیے تَرْہِ مَمَ تَتْ سَمَّنَنَں کِمَپِ نَ کِنْتُ مَمَ تاتو یَں یُویَں سْوِییَمْ اِیشْوَرَں بھاشَدھْوے سَایوَ ماں سَمَّنُتے۔
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.

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.”

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]!”

58 Jesus said to them, “The truth is that I existed before Abraham was born!”

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.
تَدا تے پاشانانْ اُتّولْیَ تَماہَنْتُمْ اُدَیَچّھَنْ کِنْتُ یِیشُ رْگُپْتو مَنْتِرادْ بَہِرْگَتْیَ تیشاں مَدھْیینَ پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ۔
