John 8
1 But Jesus went [with us disciples] to Olive [Tree] Hill [and we stayed near there that night].
A Isus otide na goru Maslinsku.
2 Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple [courtyard]. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.
A ujutru opet doðe u crkvu, i sav narod iðaše k njemu; i sjedavši uèaše ih.
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].
A književnici i fariseji dovedoše k njemu ženu uhvaæenu u preljubi, i postavivši je na srijedu
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.
Rekoše mu: uèitelju! ova je žena uhvaæena sad u preljubi;
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]?”
A Mojsije nam u zakonu zapovjedi da takove kamenjem ubijamo; a ti šta veliš?
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.
Ovo pak rekoše kušajuæi ga da bi ga imali za što okriviti. A Isus saže se dolje i pisaše prstom po zemlji ne gledajuæi na njih).
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 kad ga jednako pitahu, ispravi se i reèe im: koji je meðu vama bez grijeha neka najprije baci kamen na nju.
8 Then he stooped down and wrote [some more] on the ground.
Pa se opet saže dolje i pisaše po zemlji.
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 kad oni to èuše, i pokarani buduæi od svoje savjesti izlažahu jedan za drugijem poèevši od starješina do pošljednjijeh; i osta Isus sam i žena stojeæi na srijedi.
10 Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”
A kad se Isus ispravi, i ne vidjevši nijednoga do samu ženu, reèe joj: ženo! gdje su oni što te tužahu? Nijedan te ne osudi?
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!”]
A ona reèe: nijedan, Gospode! A Isus joj reèe: ni ja te ne osuðujem, idi, i otsele više ne griješi.
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.”
Isus im pak opet reèe: ja sam vidjelo svijetu: ko ide za mnom neæe hoditi po tami, nego æe imati vidjelo života.
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.”
Tada mu rekoše fariseji: ti sam za sebe svjedoèiš: svjedoèanstvo tvoje nije istinito.
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.
Isus odgovori i reèe im: ako ja svjedoèim sam za sebe istinito je svjedoèanstvo moje: jer znam otkuda doðoh i kuda idem; a vi ne znate otkuda dolazim i kuda idem.
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].
Vi sudite po tijelu, ja ne sudim nikome.
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.
I ako sudim ja, sud je moj prav: jer nijesam sam, nego ja i otac koji me posla.
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.
A i u zakonu vašemu stoji napisano da je svjedoèanstvo dvojice ljudi istinito.
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].”
Ja sam koji svjedoèim sam za sebe, i svjedoèi za mene otac koji me posla.
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.”
Tada mu govorahu: gdje je otac tvoj? Isus odgovori: ni mene znate ni oca mojega; kad biste znali mene, znali biste i oca mojega.
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].
Ove rijeèi reèe Isus kod hazne Božije kad uèaše u crkvi; i niko ga ne uhvati, jer još ne bješe došao èas njegov.
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.”
A Isus im opet reèe: ja idem, i tražiæete me; i pomrijeæete u svojemu grijehu; kud ja idem vi ne možete doæi.
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’?”
Tada rekoše Jevreji: da se neæe sam ubiti, što govori: kud ja idem vi ne možete doæi?
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 reèe im: vi ste od nižijeh, ja sam od višijeh; vi ste od ovoga svijeta, ja nijesam od ovoga svijeta.
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.”
Tako vam kazah da æete pomrijeti u grijesima svojima; jer ako ne uzvjerujete da sam ja, pomrijeæete u grijesima svojima.
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!
Tada mu govorahu: ko si ti? I reèe im Isus: poèetak, kako vam i kažem.
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.”
Mnogo imam za vas govoriti i suditi; ali onaj koji me posla istinit je, i ja ono govorim svijetu što èuh od njega.
27 They did not understand that he was talking about his Father [in heaven].
Ne razumješe dakle da im govoraše za oca.
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.
A Isus im reèe: kad podignete sina èovjeèijega, onda æete doznati da sam ja, i da ništa sam od sebe ne èinim; nego kako me nauèi otac moj onako govorim.
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.”
I onaj koji me posla sa mnom je. Ne ostavi otac mene sama; jer ja svagda èinim što je njemu ugodno.
30 As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he [was] ([from God/the Messiah]).
Kad ovo govoraše, mnogi ga vjerovaše.
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.
Tada Isus govoraše onijem Jevrejima koji mu vjerovaše: ako vi ostanete na mojoj besjedi, zaista æete biti uèenici moji,
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].”
I poznaæete istinu, i istina æe vas izbaviti.
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]?”
Odgovoriše i rekoše mu: mi smo sjeme Avraamovo, i nikome nijesmo robovali nikad; kako ti govoriš da æemo se izbaviti?
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].
Isus im odgovori: zaista, zaista vam kažem da je svaki koji èini grijeh rob grijehu.
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)
A rob ne ostaje u kuæi vavijek, sin ostaje vavijek. (aiōn g165)
36 So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.
Ako vas dakle sin izbavi, zaista æete biti izbavljeni.
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.
Znam da ste sjeme Avraamovo; ali gledate da me ubijete, jer moja besjeda ne može u vas da stane.
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.”
Ja govorim što vidjeh od oca svojega; i vi tako èinite što vidjeste od oca svojega.
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.
Odgovoriše i rekoše mu: otac je naš Avraam. Isus im reèe: kad biste vi bili djeca Avraamova, èinili biste djela Avraamova.
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.
A sad gledate mene da ubijete, èovjeka koji vam istinu kazah koju èuh od Boga: tako Avraam nije èinio.
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!”
Vi èinite djela oca svojega. Tada mu rekoše: mi nijesmo roðeni od kurvarstva: jednoga oca imamo Boga.
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.
A Isus im reèe: kad bi Bog bio vaš otac, ljubili biste mene; jer ja od Boga iziðoh i doðoh; jer ne doðoh sam od sebe, nego me on posla.
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.
Zašto ne razumijete govora mojega? Jer ne možete rijeèi mojijeh da slušate.
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.
Vaš je otac ðavo; i slasti oca svojega hoæete da èinite: on je krvnik ljudski od poèetka, i ne stoji na istini; jer nema istine u njemu; kad govori laž, svoje govori: jer je laža i otac laži.
45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!
A meni ne vjerujete, jer ja istinu govorim.
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]
Koji me od vas kori za grijeh? Ako li istinu govorim, zašto mi vi ne vjerujete?
47 Those who belong to God habitually obey God’s message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”
Ko je od Boga rijeèi Božije sluša; zato vi ne slušate, jer nijeste od Boga.
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!”
Tada odgovoriše Jevreji i rekoše mu: ne govorimo li mi pravo da si ti Samarjanin, i da je ðavo u tebi.
49 Jesus replied, “A demon does not [control] me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!
Isus odgovori: u meni ðavola nema, nego poštujem oca svojega; a vi mene sramotite.
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].
A ja ne tražim slave svoje; ima koji traži i sudi.
Zaista, zaista vam kažem: ko održi rijeè moju neæe vidjeti smrti dovijeka. (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)
Tada mu rekoše Jevreji: sad vidjesmo da je ðavo u tebi: Avraam umrije i proroci, a ti govoriš: ko održi rijeè moju neæe okusiti smrti dovijeka. (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]?”
Eda li si ti veæi od oca našega Avraama, koji umrije? I proroci pomriješe: ko se ti sam gradiš?
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.
Isus odgovori: ako se ja sam slavim, slava je moja ništa: otac je moj koji me slavi, za kojega vi govorite da je vaš Bog.
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.
I ne poznajete ga, a ja ga znam; i ako reèem da ga ne znam biæu laža kao vi. Nego ga znam, i rijeè njegovu držim.
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.”
Avraam, otac vaš, bio je rad da vidi dan moj; i vidje, i obradova se.
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]!”
Tada mu rekoše Jevreji: još ti nema pedeset godina, i Avraama li si vidio?
58 Jesus said to them, “The truth is that I existed before Abraham was born!”
A Isus im reèe: zaista, zaista vam kažem: ja sam prije nego se Avraam rodio.
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.
Tada uzeše kamenje da bace na nj; a Isus se sakri, i iziðe iz crkve prošavši izmeðu njih i otide tako.
