< John 8 >

1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Jesu sì lọ sí orí òkè olifi.
2 Early in the morning he came to the temple again, and all the people came; he sat down and taught them.
Ó sì tún padà wá sí tẹmpili ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀, gbogbo ènìyàn sì wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀; ó sì jókòó, ó ń kọ́ wọn.
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery. They placed her in the middle.
Àwọn akọ̀wé àti àwọn Farisi sì mú obìnrin kan wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, tí a mú nínú ṣíṣe panṣágà; wọ́n sì mú un dúró láàrín.
4 Then they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.
Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Olùkọ́, a mú obìnrin yìí nínú ìṣe panṣágà.
5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such people; what do you say about her?”
Ǹjẹ́ nínú òfin, Mose pàṣẹ fún wa láti sọ irú àwọn obìnrin bẹ́ẹ̀ ní òkúta, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ha ti wí?”
6 They said this in order to trap him so that they might have something to accuse him about, but Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Èyí ni wọ́n wí, láti dán án wò, kí wọn ba à lè rí ẹ̀sùn kan kà sí i lọ́rùn. Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu bẹ̀rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì ń fi ìka rẹ̀ kọ̀wé ní ilẹ̀.
7 When they continued asking him questions, he stood up and said to them, “The one among you who has no sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”
Nígbà tí wọ́n ń bi í léèrè lemọ́lemọ́, ó gbe orí rẹ sókè, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Jẹ́ kí ẹni tí ó wà láìní ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ nínú yín kọ́kọ́ sọ òkúta lù ú.”
8 Again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Ó sì tún bẹ̀rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó ń kọ̀wé ní ilẹ̀.
9 When they heard it, they left one by one, beginning with the oldest. Finally Jesus was left alone, with the woman who had been in the middle.
Nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ èyí, wọ́n sì jáde lọ lọ́kọ̀ọ̀kan, bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn àgbà títí dé àwọn tí ó kẹ́yìn; a sì fi Jesu nìkan sílẹ̀, àti obìnrin náà láàrín, níbi tí ó wà.
10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
Jesu sì dìde, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Obìnrin yìí, àwọn olùfisùn rẹ dà? Kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó dá ọ lẹ́bi?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”]
Ó wí pé, “Kò sí ẹnìkan, Olúwa.” Jesu wí fún un pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi náà kò dá ọ lẹ́bi, máa lọ, láti ìgbà yìí lọ, má dẹ́ṣẹ̀ mọ́.”
12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”
Jesu sì tún sọ fún wọn pé, “Èmi ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ ayé, ẹni tí ó bá tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn kì yóò rìn nínú òkùnkùn, ṣùgbọ́n yóò ní ìmọ́lẹ̀ ìyè.”
13 The Pharisees said to him, “You bear witness about yourself; your witness is not true.”
Nítorí náà àwọn Farisi wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ń jẹ́rìí ara rẹ; ẹ̀rí rẹ kì í ṣe òtítọ́.”
14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness about myself, my witness is true. I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
Jesu dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Bí mo tilẹ̀ ń jẹ́rìí fún ara mi, òtítọ́ ni ẹ̀rí mi: nítorí tí mo mọ ibi tí mo ti wá, mo sì mọ ibi tí mo ń lọ; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò lè mọ ibi tí mo ti wá, àti ibi tí mo ń lọ.
15 You judge according the flesh; I judge no one.
Ẹ̀yin ń ṣe ìdájọ́ nípa ti ara; èmi kò ṣe ìdájọ́ ẹnikẹ́ni.
16 Yet if I judge, my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí èmi bá sì ṣe ìdájọ́, òtítọ́ ni, nítorí èmi nìkan kọ́, ṣùgbọ́n èmi àti Baba tí ó rán mi.
17 Yes, and in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
A sì kọ ọ́ pẹ̀lú nínú òfin pé, òtítọ́ ni ẹ̀rí ènìyàn méjì.
18 I am he who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”
Èmi ni ẹni tí ń jẹ́rìí ara mi, Baba tí ó rán mi sì ń jẹ́rìí mi.”
19 They said to him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me, you would have known my Father also.”
Nítorí náà wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Níbo ni Baba rẹ wà?” Jesu dáhùn pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ mí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ kò mọ Baba mi, ìbá ṣe pé ẹ̀yin mọ̀ mí, ẹ̀yin ìbá sì ti mọ Baba mi pẹ̀lú.”
20 He said these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.
Ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí ni Jesu sọ níbi ìṣúra, bí ó ti ń kọ́ni ní tẹmpili, ẹnikẹ́ni kò sì mú un; nítorí wákàtí rẹ̀ kò tí ì dé.
21 So again he said to them, “I am going away; you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
Nítorí náà ó tún wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi ń lọ, ẹ̀yin yóò sì wá mi, ẹ ó sì kú nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín, ibi tí èmi gbé ń lọ, ẹ̀yin kì yóò lè wá.”
22 The Jews said, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?”
Nítorí náà àwọn Júù wí pé, “Òun ó ha pa ara rẹ̀ bí? Nítorí tí ó wí pé, ‘Ibi tí èmi gbé ń lọ, ẹ̀yin kì yóò lè wá’?”
23 Jesus said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ti ìsàlẹ̀ wá; èmi ti òkè wá; ẹ̀yin jẹ́ ti ayé yìí; èmi kì í ṣe ti ayé yìí.
24 Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe wí fún yín pé, ẹ ó kú nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín, nítorí bí kò ṣe pé ẹ bá gbàgbọ́ pé èmi ni, ẹ ó kú nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín.”
25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I have said to you from the beginning.
Nítorí náà wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Ta ni ìwọ jẹ́?” Jesu sì wí fún un pé, “Èmi ni èyí tí mo ti wí fún yín ní àtètèkọ́ṣe.
26 I have many things to speak and to judge about you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things that I heard from him, these things I say to the world.”
Mo ní ohun púpọ̀ láti sọ, àti láti ṣe ìdájọ́ nípa yín, ṣùgbọ́n olóòtítọ́ ni ẹni tí ó rán mi, ohun tí èmi sì ti gbọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ wá, wọ̀nyí ni èmi ń sọ fún aráyé.”
27 They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.
Kò yé wọn pé ti Baba ni ó ń sọ fún wọn.
28 Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then will you know that I AM, and that I do nothing of myself. As the Father taught me, I speak these things.
Lẹ́yìn náà Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Nígbà tí ẹ mọ̀ pé, nígbà tí ẹ bá gbé Ọmọ Ènìyàn sókè, nígbà náà ni ẹ ó mọ̀ pé èmi ni àti pé èmi kò dá ohunkóhun ṣe fún ara mi, ṣùgbọ́n bí Baba ti kọ́ mi, èmí ń sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
29 He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.”
Ẹni tí ó rán mí sì ń bẹ pẹ̀lú mi, kò fi mí sílẹ̀ ní èmi nìkan; nítorí tí èmi ń ṣe ohun tí ó wù ú nígbà gbogbo.”
30 As Jesus was saying these things, many believed in him.
Bí ó ti ń sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn gbà á gbọ́.
31 Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples;
Nítorí náà Jesu wí fún àwọn Júù tí ó gbà á gbọ́, pé, “Bí ẹ bá tẹ̀síwájú nínú ọ̀rọ̀ mi ẹ ó jẹ́ ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi nítòótọ́.
32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Ẹ ó sì mọ òtítọ́, òtítọ́ yóò sì sọ yín di òmìnira.”
33 They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves of anyone; how can you say, 'You will be set free'?”
Wọ́n dá a lóhùn pé, “Irú-ọmọ Abrahamu ni àwa jẹ́, àwa kò sì ṣe ẹrú fún ẹnikẹ́ni rí láé; ìwọ ha ṣe wí pé, ‘Ẹ ó di òmìnira’?”
34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀, ẹrú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni.
35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Ẹrú kì í sì í gbé ilé títí láé, ọmọ ní ń gbé ilé títí láé. (aiōn g165)
36 Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.
Nítorí náà, bí Ọmọ bá sọ yín di òmìnira ẹ ó di òmìnira nítòótọ́.
37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants; you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you.
Mo mọ̀ pé irú-ọmọ Abrahamu ni ẹ̀yin jẹ́; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa mí nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ mi kò rí ààyè nínú yín. Jesu sọ ọ̀rọ̀-ìjìnlẹ̀ nípa ara rẹ̀.
38 I say what I have seen with my Father, and you also do what you heard from your father.”
Ohun tí èmi ti rí lọ́dọ̀ Baba ni mo sọ, ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú sì ń ṣe èyí tí ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ baba yín.”
39 They answered and said to him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
Wọ́n dáhùn, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Abrahamu ni baba wa!” Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ìbá ṣe iṣẹ́ Abrahamu.
40 Yet, now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa mí, ẹni tí ó sọ òtítọ́ fún yín, èyí tí mo ti gbọ́ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run, Abrahamu kò ṣe èyí.
41 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born in sexual immorality; we have one Father: God.”
Ẹ̀yin ń ṣe iṣẹ́ baba yín.” Nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí fún un pé, “a kò bí wa nípa panṣágà, a ní Baba kan, èyí sì ni Ọlọ́run.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Ìbá ṣe pé Ọlọ́run ni Baba yín, ẹ̀yin ìbá fẹ́ràn mi, nítorí tí èmi ti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run jáde, mo sì wá; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò sì wá fún ara mi, ṣùgbọ́n òun ni ó rán mi.
43 Why do you not understand my words? It is because you cannot hear my words.
Èéṣe tí èdè mi kò fi yé yín? Nítorí ẹ kò lè gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi.
44 You are of your father, the devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature because he is a liar and the father of lies.
Ti èṣù baba yin ni ẹ̀yin jẹ́, ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ baba yín ni ẹ sì ń fẹ́ ṣe. Apànìyàn ni òun jẹ́ láti àtètèkọ́ṣe, kò sì dúró nínú òtítọ́; nítorí tí kò sí òtítọ́ nínú rẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó bá ń ṣèké, nínú ohun tirẹ̀ ni ó ń sọ nítorí èké ni, àti baba èké.
45 Yet, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí tí èmi ń sọ òtítọ́ fún yín, ẹ̀yin kò sì gbà mí gbọ́.
46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
Ta ni nínú yín tí ó ti dá mi lẹ́bi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀? Bí mo bá ń ṣọ òtítọ́, èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi gbà mí gbọ́?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God; you do not hear them because you are not of God.”
Ẹni tí ń ṣe ti Ọlọ́run, a máa gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, nítorí èyí ni ẹ̀yin kò ṣe gbọ́, nítorí ẹ̀yin kì í ṣe ti Ọlọ́run.”
48 The Jews answered and said to him, “Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
Àwọn Júù dáhùn wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Àwa kò wí nítòótọ́ pé, ará Samaria ni ìwọ jẹ́, àti pé ìwọ ní ẹ̀mí èṣù?”
49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
Jesu sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi kò ní ẹ̀mí èṣù, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ń bu ọlá fún Baba mi, ẹ̀yin kò sì bu ọlá fún mi.
50 I do not seek my glory; there is one seeking and judging.
Èmi kò wá ògo ara mi, ẹnìkan ń bẹ tí ó ń wá a tí yóò sì ṣe ìdájọ́.
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” (aiōn g165)
Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, bí ẹnìkan bá pa ọ̀rọ̀ mi mọ́, kì yóò rí ikú láéláé.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died; but you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.' (aiōn g165)
Àwọn Júù wí fún un pé, “Nígbà yìí ni àwa mọ̀ pé ìwọ ní ẹ̀mí èṣù. Abrahamu kú, àti àwọn wòlíì; ìwọ sì wí pé, ‘Bí ẹnìkan bá pa ọ̀rọ̀ mi mọ́, kì yóò tọ́ ikú wò láéláé.’ (aiōn g165)
53 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? The prophets also died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
Ìwọ ha pọ̀ ju Abrahamu Baba wa lọ, ẹni tí ó kú? Àwọn wòlíì sì kú, ta ni ìwọ ń fi ara rẹ pè?”
54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me—about whom you say that he is your God.
Jesu dáhùn wí pé, “Bí mo bá yin ara mi lógo, ògo mi kò jẹ́ nǹkan, Baba mi ni ẹni tí ń yìn mí lógo, ẹni tí ẹ̀yin wí pé, Ọlọ́run yín ní i ṣe.
55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I would say, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. However, I know him and keep his word.
Ẹ kò sì mọ̀ ọ́n, ṣùgbọ́n èmi mọ̀ ọ́n, bí mo bá sì wí pé, èmi kò mọ̀ ọ́n, èmi yóò di èké gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin, ṣùgbọ́n èmi mọ̀ ọ́n, mo sì pa ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ mọ́.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
Abrahamu baba yín yọ̀ láti rí ọjọ́ mi, ó sì rí i, ó sì yọ̀.”
57 The Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?”
Nítorí náà, àwọn Júù wí fún un pé, “Ọdún rẹ kò ì tó àádọ́ta, ìwọ sì ti rí Abrahamu?”
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
Jesu sì wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́ lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, kí Abrahamu tó wà, èmi ti wa.”
59 Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
Nítorí náà wọ́n gbé òkúta láti sọ lù ú, ṣùgbọ́n Jesu fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́, ó sì jáde kúrò ní tẹmpili.
