< John 8 >

1 But Jesus went [with us disciples] to Olive [Tree] Hill [and we stayed near there that night].
Ciisese wuxuu u baxay Buur Saytuun.
2 Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple [courtyard]. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.
Aroortii hore ayuu haddana macbudka yimid, dadkii oo dhammuna way u yimaadeen, oo intuu fadhiistay, ayuu wax baray.
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].
Culimmadii iyo Farrisiintii waxay u keeneen naag sino lagu qabtay. Markaasay dhexda joojiyeen,
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.
oo waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, Macallimow, naagtan waxaa lagu qabtay sino.
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]?”
Hadda Muuse wuxuu sharciga nagu amray in la dhagxiyo tan oo kale, adiguse maxaad ka leedahay iyada?
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.
Waxay waxaas u yidhaahdeen, iyagoo jirrabaya, si ay u helaan wax ay ku ashtakeeyaan. Laakiin Ciise waa foororsaday, oo farta ayuu dhulka wax ku qoray.
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.”
Laakiin goortay sii wadeen inay weyddiiyaan, wuu istaagay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Kii idinka mid ah oo aan dembi lahayn, isagu horta dhagax ha ku tuuro.
8 Then he stooped down and wrote [some more] on the ground.
Mar kale ayuu foororsaday, oo haddana dhulka wax ku qoray.
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.
Iyagu markay waxaas maqleen, ayay iska daba baxeen midba mid, waayeelladii ka bilaabato ilaa kii u dambeeyey. Ciisena keligiis ayuu hadhay iyo naagtii dhexda joogtay.
10 Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”
Ciise ayaa istaagay oo ku yidhi iyadii, Naag yahay, xaggee bay joogaan? Ninna miyaanu ku xukumin?
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!”]
Waxay ku tidhi, Ninna, Sayidow. Ciisena wuxuu ku yidhi, Anna ku xukumi maayo. Soco, oo hadda ka dib ha dembaabin.
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.”
Haddaba Ciise ayaa mar kale la hadlay iyaga, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay nuurka dunida. Kii i soo raacaa, gudcurka kuma socon doono, wuxuuse lahaan doonaa nuurka nolosha.
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.”
Sidaa aawadeed Farrisiintu waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Marag baad isu furaysaa, maraggaagguna run ma aha.
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.
Ciise baa u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, In kastoo aan marag isu furo, maraggaygu waa run, waayo, waxaan garanayaa meeshaan ka imid iyo meeshaan tegayo, idinkuse garan maysaan meeshaan ka imid ama meeshaan tegayo.
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].
Idinku waxaad wax ka xukuntaan xagga jidhka, aniguse ninna ma xukumo.
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.
Haddaan xukumo, xukunkaygu waa run, waayo, anigu keligay ma ihi, laakiin waa aniga iyo Aabbahaygii i soo diray.
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.
Sharcigiinna waxaa ku qoran, Laba nin maraggoodu waa run.
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].”
Anigu waxaan ahay kii isu marag fura, oo Aabbahaygii i soo dirayna ayaa ii marag fura.
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.”
Sidaas aawadeed waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Aabbahaa xaggee buu joogaa? Ciise ayaa ugu jawaabay, I garan maysaan, Aabbahayna garan maysaan. Haddaad i garanaysaan, Aabbahayna waad garan lahaydeen.
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].
Hadalladaas ayuu kaga hadlay meeshii khasnaddu tiil intuu macbudka wax ku barayay. Oo ninna ma uu qaban isaga, waayo, saacaddiisii weli ma iman.
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.”
Sidaas aawadeed wuxuu haddana ku yidhi iyaga, Waan tegayaa, waadna i doondooni doontaan, waadna ku dhiman doontaan dembigiinna. Meeshaan tegayo iman kari maysaan.
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’?”
Sidaas daraaddeed Yuhuuddu waxay yidhaahdeen, Miyuu isdilayaa? Waayo, isagaa yidhi, Meeshaan tegayo iman kari maysaan.
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.
Wuxuu ku yidhi iyaga, Idinku waxaad tihiin kuwa hoosta, aniguse waxaan ka mid ahay kuwa sare. Idinku waxaad tihiin kuwa dunidan, aniguse mid kama ihi kuwa dunidan.
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.”
Haddaba waxaan idinku idhi, Dembiyadiinna waad ku dhiman doontaan, waayo, haddaydnan rumaysan inaan isagii ahay, dembiyadiinna ayaad ku dhiman doontaan.
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!
Haddaba waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Yaad tahay? Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Kii aan tan iyo bilowgii idinkala hadlay.
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.”
Waxaan hayaa wax badan oo aan idinkala hadlo oo aan idinku xukumo, laakiin kii i soo diray waa run, aniguna waxaan ka maqlay isaga, waxaas ayaan dunida kula hadlayaa.
27 They did not understand that he was talking about his Father [in heaven].
Ma ayna garan inuu iyaga kala hadlay Aabbaha.
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.
Sidaas aawadeed Ciise ayaa ku yidhi, Markaad Wiilka Aadanaha kor u qaaddaan, markaasaad garan doontaan inaan isagii ahay iyo inaanan keligay waxba samaynaynin, laakiin sida Aabbuhu ii baray ayaan waxyaalahaas ugu hadlaa.
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.”
Oo kii i soo diray ayaa ila jira, keligay igama uu tegin, waayo, mar kasta waxaan sameeyaa waxa ka farxiya isaga.
30 As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he [was] ([from God/the Messiah]).
Intuu waxyaalahaas ku hadlayay, dad badan ayaa rumaystay isaga.
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.
Sidaas aawadeed Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi Yuhuuddii isaga rumaysatay, Haddaad ereygayga ku sii socotaan, runtii waxaad tihiin xertayda.
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].”
Oo waxaad garan doontaan runta; runtiina waa idin xorayn doontaa.
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]?”
Waxay ugu jawaabeen, Farcankii Ibraahim baannu nahay, oo weligayo addoommo ninna uma ahayn. Maxaad u leedahay, Waa laydin xorayn doonaa?
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].
Ciise ayaa ugu jawaabay, Runtii, runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Kii kasta oo dembi sameeyaa waa addoonkii dembiga.
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)
Oo addoonkuna guriga kuma sii jiro, wiilkuse waa ku sii jiraa weligiis. (aiōn g165)
36 So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.
Sidaas aawadeed haddii Wiilku idin xoreeyo, runtii xor baad ahaan doontaan.
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.
Waan garanayaa inaad farcankii Ibraahim tihiin, laakiin waxaad doonaysaan inaad i dishaan, waayo, hadalkaygu meel idinkuma haysto.
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.”
Waxaan xaggii Aabbahay ku soo arkay ayaan ka hadlaa, idinkuna waxaad samaysaan wixii aydin aabbihiin ka maqasheen.
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.
Markaasay u jawaabeen oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Aabbahayo waa Ibraahim. Ciise ayaa ku yidhi, Haddaad carruurtii Ibraahim tihiin, shuqullada Ibraahim waad samayn lahaydeen.
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.
Laakiin hadda waxaad doonaysaan inaad i dishaan, anoo ah ninkii idiin sheegay runtii aan xaggii Ilaah ka maqlay. Waxaas Ibraahim ma uu samayn jirin.
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!”
Waxaad samaysaan shuqullada aabbihiin. Markaasay ku yidhaahdeen, Annagu kuma aannu dhalan sino. Aabbe keliya ayaannu leennahay oo waa Ilaah.
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.
Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddii Ilaah aabbihiin yahay, waad i jeclaan lahaydeen, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah baan ka soo baxay oo ka imid, aniguna iskama iman, ee isagaa i soo diray.
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.
Maxaad hadalkayga u garan weydeen? Waayo, hadalkayga ma maqli karaysaane.
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.
Idinku waxaad tihiin kuwo aabbahood Ibliiska yahay, oo waxaad doonaysaan inaad samaysaan damacyada aabbihiin. Tan iyo bilowgii wuxuu ahaa mid dhiig qaba, runtana kuma uu joogsan, waayo, runtu kuma jirto isaga. Markuu been ku hadlo, tiisuu ku hadlaa, waayo, waa beenaaleh, waana beenta aabbaheed.
45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!
Laakiin runta aan ku hadlo aawadeed waad i rumaysan weydeen.
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]
Midkiinnee baa dembi igu caddaynaya? Haddaan runta sheego, maxaad ii rumaysan weydaan?
47 Those who belong to God habitually obey God’s message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”
Kii Ilaah kuwiisa ka mid ah, erayada Ilaah ayuu maqlaa, sidaas daraaddeed idinku maqli maysaan, waayo, Ilaah kuwiisii ma ihidin.
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!”
Yuhuuddu waxay ugu jawaabeen, Miyaannan run ku hadlin markaannu nidhi, Reer Samaariya baad tahay, oo jinni baad qabtaa?
49 Jesus replied, “A demon does not [control] me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!
Ciise wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Jinni ma qabo, laakiin Aabbahay baan murweeyaa, idinkuna waad i murwad jebisaan.
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].
Anigu ammaantayda ma doono, waxaase jira mid doona oo xukuma.
51 But the truth is that anyone who obeys what I say will never die!” (aiōn g165)
Runtii, runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Haddii qof uun ereygayga xajiyo, weligiis dhimasho ma arki doono. (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)
Yuhuuddu waxay ku yidhaahdeen isaga, Imminka waxaannu garanaynaa inaad jinni qabto. Ibraahim waa dhintay iyo nebiyadiiba, adiguna waxaad leedahay, Haddii qof uun hadalkayga xajiyo, weligiis dhimasho ma dhadhamin doono. (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]?”
Miyaad ka sii weyn tahay aabbaheen Ibraahim oo dhintay, iyo nebiyadii dhintay? Yaad iska dhigaysaa?
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.
Ciise wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Haddaan is-ammaano, ammaantaydu waxba ma aha. Waa Aabbahay kan i ammaanaa, kaad ku sheegtaan Ilaahiinna.
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.
Mana aydnaan garan isaga, laakiinse anigu waa garanayaa, oo haddaan idhaahdo, Garan maayo isaga, sidiinna oo kalaan beenaaleh noqonayaa, laakiinse waan aqaan isaga, ereygiisana waan xajiyaa.
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.”
Aabbihiin Ibraahim waa ku reyreeyey inuu maalintayda arko, wuuna arkay oo ku farxay.
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]!”
Sidaa aawadeed Yuhuuddii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Weli konton sannadood ma aadan gaadhin, oo Ibraahim ma aragtay?
58 Jesus said to them, “The truth is that I existed before Abraham was born!”
Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Runtii, runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Intaan Ibraahim jirin anaa ah.
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.
Markaasay dhagaxyo u gurteen inay ku tuuraan, laakiin Ciise waa dhuuntay, wuuna ka baxay macbudka.
