John 8
1 But Jesus went [with us disciples] to Olive [Tree] Hill [and we stayed near there that night].
Ісус же пійшов на гору Оливну.
2 Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple [courtyard]. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.
Вранці ж ізнов прийшов у церкву, і всї люде приходили до Него; й сівши навчав їх.
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].
Приводять же письменники та Фарисеї до Него жінку, схоплену в перелюбі, і, поставивши її посередині,
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.
кажуть Йому: Учителю, сю жінку схоплено в перелюбі, на самому вчинку.
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]?”
В законі ж Мойсей нам звелів таких каменувати; Ти ж що кажеш?
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.
Се ж казали, спокушуючи Його, щоб мали чим винувата Його. Ісус же, схилившись до долу, писав пальцем по землі'.
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.”
Як же не переставали питати Його, піднявшись рече до них: Хто з вас без гріха, нехай первий кине камінь на неї.
8 Then he stooped down and wrote [some more] on the ground.
І, знов, схилившись до долу, писав по землї.
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.
Вони ж, почувши й докорені совістю, вийшли один за одним, почавши від старших та аж до останніх; і воетавсь один Ісус та жінка, стоячи посередині.
10 Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”
Піднявши ся ж Ісус і нікого не бачивши, тільки жінку, рече їй: Жінко, де ж ті винувателї твої? ніхто тебе не осудив?
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!”]
Вона ж каже: Нїхто, Господи. Рече ж їй Ісус: І я тебе не суджу: йди, і більш не гріши.
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.”
Знов же промовляв їм Ісус, глаголючи: Я сьвітло сьвіту. Хто йде слїдом за мною, не ходити ме в темряві, а мати ме сьвітло життя.
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.”
Казали тодї Йому Фарисеї: Ти про себе сьвідкуєш; сьвідченнє Твоє неправдиве.
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.
Озвавсь Ісус і рече їм: Хоч я сьвідкую про себе, правдиве сьвідченнє моє; бо я знаю, звідкіля я прийшов, і куди йду.
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].
Ви по тілу судите; я не суджу нікого.
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.
Коли я суджу, суд мій правдивий; бо я не один, а я й пославший мене Отець.
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.
І в законі ж вашому написано, що двох людей сьвідченнє правдиве.
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].”
Я сьвідкую про себе, й сьвідкує про мене пославший мене Отець.
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.”
Казали тодї Йому: Де Отець Твій? Відказав Ісус: Нї мене не знаєте, ні Отця мого. Коли б мене знали, й Отця мого знали б.
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].
Такі слова промовив Ісус у скарбницї, навчаючи в церкві; і ніхто не хапав Його; бо ще не прийшла година Його.
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.”
Рече їм тодї знов Ісус: Я йду, й шукати мете мене, і в гріхах ваших повмираєте. Куди ж я йду, ви не можете йти.
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’?”
Сказали тодї Жиди: Чи не вбє Він себе, що каже: Куди я йду, ви не можете йти?
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.
І рече їм: Ви од нижнього, я од вишнього; ви од сьвіту сього, я не од сьвіту сього.
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.”
Тим я сказав вам, що повмираєте в гріхах ваших: коли бо не увіруєте, що се я, повмираєте в гріхах ваших.
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!
Казали тодї Йому: Хто Ти єси? І рече їм Ісус: Той, що з почину, як і глалолю вам.
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.”
Багато маю про вас глаголати й судити; тільки ж Пославший мене правдивий; і я, що чув від Него, се глаголю в сьвітї.
27 They did not understand that he was talking about his Father [in heaven].
Не розуміли, що про Отця їм глаголе.
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.
Рече ж їм Ісус: Як знесете вгору Сина чоловічого, тодї зрозумієте, що се я, і що від себе не роблю нїчого; тільки, як навчив мене Отець мій, таке глаголю.
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.”
І Пославший мене - зо мною; не зоставив мене одного Отець; бо я роблю всякого часу, що подобаєть ся Йому.
30 As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he [was] ([from God/the Messiah]).
Як се Він промовляв, многі увірували в Него.
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.
Рече тодї Ісус до Жидів, що увірували Йому: Коли пробувати мете у слові моєму, справді ви ученики мої будете,
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].”
і зрозумієте правду, й правда визволить вас.
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]?”
Відказали Йому: Ми насїннє Авраамове, й нї в кого не були в неволї ніколи. Як же Ти говориш, що вільнї будете?
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].
Відказав їм Ісус: Істино, істино глаголю вам: Що всякий, хто робить гріх, невільник гріха.
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)
Невільник же не пробував в дому до віку, Син пробував до віку. (aiōn g165)
36 So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.
Коли ж Син визволить вас, справді вільними будете.
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.
Знаю, що ви насїннє Авраамове; та шукаєте вбити мене, бо слово моє не містить ся в вас.
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.”
Я, що видїв ув Отця мого, глаголю; а ви, що видїли в отця вашого, робите.
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.
Озвались вони й казали Йому: Отець наш Авраам. Рече їм Ісус: Коли б ви дїти Авраамові були, дїла Авраамові робили б.
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.
Тепер же шукаєте вбити мене, чоловіка, що вам правду глаголав, котру чув я від Бога. Сього Авраам не робив.
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!”
Ви робите дїла отця вашого. Казали тодї Йому: Ми не з перелюбу родились: одного Отця маємо, Бога.
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.
Рече ж їм Ісус: Коли б Бог отець ваш був, любили б ви мене; бо я від Бога вийшов і приходжу, бо не від себе прийшов я, а Він мене післав.
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.
Чом бесїди моєї не розумієте? Бо не можете слухати слова мого.
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.
Ви від отця диявола, й хотїння отця вашого диявола хочете робити. Той був душогубцем з почину; й в правдї не встояв; бо нема правди в йому. Коли говорить брехню, із свого говорить; бо він брехун і отець її.
45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!
А що я правду глаголю, не віруєте менї.
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]
Хто з вас докорить менї за гріх? Коли ж правду глаголю, чому ви не віруєте менї?
47 Those who belong to God habitually obey God’s message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”
Хто від Бога, слова Божі слухає. Тому ви не слухаєте, що ви не від Бога.
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!”
Озвались тодї Жиди, й казали Йому: Чи недобре ми кажемо, що Самарянин єси Ти, і біса маєш?
49 Jesus replied, “A demon does not [control] me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!
Відказав Ісус: Я біса не маю, а шаную Отця мого; ви ж не шануєте мене.
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].
Я ж не шукаю моєї слави; єсть, хто шукає й судить.
Істино, істино глаголю вам: Коли хто слово моє хоронити ме, смерти не побачить по вік. (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)
Сказали тодї Йому Жиди: Тепер ми знаємо, що Ти біса маєш. Авраам умер і пророки, а Ти кажеш: Коли хто слово моє хоронити ме, не вкусить смерти по вік. (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]?”
Хиба Ти більший єси, нїж отець наш Авраам, що вмер? І пророки повмирали. Ким Ти себе робиш?
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.
Відказав Ісус: Коди я прославляю себе, слава моя нїщо. Єсть Отець мій, що прославляє мене, про котрого ви кажете, що Він Бог ваш.
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.
не пізнали Його; я ж знаю Його. А коли я скажу, що не знаю Його, буду подобний вам ложник. Нї, знаю Його, й слово Його хороню.
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.”
Авраам, отець ваш, рад був видїти день мій; та він увидїв, і зрадїв.
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]!”
Казали тодї Жиди до Него: Не маєш пятидесяти років ще, і Авраама видїв єси?
58 Jesus said to them, “The truth is that I existed before Abraham was born!”
Рече їм Ісус: Істино, істино глаголю вам: Перш нїж Авраамові бути, я був.
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.
Брали тодї каміннє, щоб кидати на Него; Ісус же сховав ся, і вийшов з церкви, пройшовши посеред них, і дійшов так мимо.
