John 8
1 And at dawn he came again to the temple,
pratyūṣē yīśuḥ panarmandiram āgacchat
2 and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
tataḥ sarvvēṣu lōkēṣu tasya samīpa āgatēṣu sa upaviśya tān upadēṣṭum ārabhata|
3 and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
tadā adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinañca vyabhicārakarmmaṇi dhr̥taṁ striyamēkām āniya sarvvēṣāṁ madhyē sthāpayitvā vyāharan
4 they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
hē gurō yōṣitam imāṁ vyabhicārakarmma kurvvāṇāṁ lōkā dhr̥tavantaḥ|
5 and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
ētādr̥śalōkāḥ pāṣāṇāghātēna hantavyā iti vidhirmūsāvyavasthāgranthē likhitōsti kintu bhavān kimādiśati?
6 and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,
tē tamapavadituṁ parīkṣābhiprāyēṇa vākyamidam apr̥cchan kintu sa prahvībhūya bhūmāvaṅgalyā lēkhitum ārabhata|
7 and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;'
tatastaiḥ punaḥ punaḥ pr̥ṣṭa utthāya kathitavān yuṣmākaṁ madhyē yō janō niraparādhī saēva prathamam ēnāṁ pāṣāṇēnāhantu|
8 and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
paścāt sa punaśca prahvībhūya bhūmau lēkhitum ārabhata|
9 and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
tāṁ kathaṁ śrutvā tē svasvamanasi prabōdhaṁ prāpya jyēṣṭhānukramaṁ ēkaikaśaḥ sarvvē bahiragacchan tatō yīśurēkākī tayakttōbhavat madhyasthānē daṇḍāyamānā sā yōṣā ca sthitā|
10 And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'
tatpaścād yīśurutthāya tāṁ vanitāṁ vinā kamapyaparaṁ na vilōkya pr̥ṣṭavān hē vāmē tavāpavādakāḥ kutra? kōpi tvāṁ kiṁ na daṇḍayati?
11 and she said, 'No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
sāvadat hē mahēccha kōpi na tadā yīśuravōcat nāhamapi daṇḍayāmi yāhi punaḥ pāpaṁ mākārṣīḥ|
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'
tatō yīśuḥ punarapi lōkēbhya itthaṁ kathayitum ārabhata jagatōhaṁ jyōtiḥsvarūpō yaḥ kaścin matpaścāda gacchati sa timirē na bhramitvā jīvanarūpāṁ dīptiṁ prāpsyati|
13 The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
tataḥ phirūśinō'vādiṣustvaṁ svārthē svayaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadāsi tasmāt tava sākṣyaṁ grāhyaṁ na bhavati|
14 Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.
tadā yīśuḥ pratyuditavān yadyapi svārthē'haṁ svayaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadāmi tathāpi mat sākṣyaṁ grāhyaṁ yasmād ahaṁ kuta āgatōsmi kva yāmi ca tadahaṁ jānāmi kintu kuta āgatōsmi kutra gacchāmi ca tad yūyaṁ na jānītha|
15 'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
yūyaṁ laukikaṁ vicārayatha nāhaṁ kimapi vicārayāmi|
16 and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
kintu yadi vicārayāmi tarhi mama vicārō grahītavyō yatōham ēkākī nāsmi prērayitā pitā mayā saha vidyatē|
17 and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
dvayō rjanayōḥ sākṣyaṁ grahaṇīyaṁ bhavatīti yuṣmākaṁ vyavasthāgranthē likhitamasti|
18 I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'
ahaṁ svārthē svayaṁ sākṣitvaṁ dadāmi yaśca mama tātō māṁ prēritavān sōpi madarthē sākṣyaṁ dadāti|
19 They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'
tadā tē'pr̥cchan tava tātaḥ kutra? tatō yīśuḥ pratyavādīd yūyaṁ māṁ na jānītha matpitarañca na jānītha yadi mām akṣāsyata tarhi mama tātamapyakṣāsyata|
20 These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;
yīśu rmandira upadiśya bhaṇḍāgārē kathā ētā akathayat tathāpi taṁ prati kōpi karaṁ nōdatōlayat|
21 therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'
tataḥ paraṁ yīśuḥ punaruditavān adhunāhaṁ gacchāmi yūyaṁ māṁ gavēṣayiṣyatha kintu nijaiḥ pāpai rmariṣyatha yat sthānam ahaṁ yāsyāmi tat sthānam yūyaṁ yātuṁ na śakṣyatha|
22 The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'
tadā yihūdīyāḥ prāvōcan kimayam ātmaghātaṁ kariṣyati? yatō yat sthānam ahaṁ yāsyāmi tat sthānam yūyaṁ yātuṁ na śakṣyatha iti vākyaṁ bravīti|
23 and he said to them, 'Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;
tatō yīśustēbhyaḥ kathitavān yūyam adhaḥsthānīyā lōkā aham ūrdvvasthānīyaḥ yūyam ētajjagatsambandhīyā aham ētajjagatsambandhīyō na|
24 I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.'
tasmāt kathitavān yūyaṁ nijaiḥ pāpai rmariṣyatha yatōhaṁ sa pumān iti yadi na viśvasitha tarhi nijaiḥ pāpai rmariṣyatha|
25 They said, therefore, to him, 'Thou — who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;
tadā tē 'pr̥cchan kastvaṁ? tatō yīśuḥ kathitavān yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau yasya prastāvam ā prathamāt karōmi saēva puruṣōhaṁ|
26 many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.'
yuṣmāsu mayā bahuvākyaṁ vakttavyaṁ vicārayitavyañca kintu matprērayitā satyavādī tasya samīpē yadahaṁ śrutavān tadēva jagatē kathayāmi|
27 They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
kintu sa janakē vākyamidaṁ prōkttavān iti tē nābudhyanta|
28 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;
tatō yīśurakathayad yadā manuṣyaputram ūrdvva utthāpayiṣyatha tadāhaṁ sa pumān kēvalaḥ svayaṁ kimapi karmma na karōmi kintu tātō yathā śikṣayati tadanusārēṇa vākyamidaṁ vadāmīti ca yūyaṁ jñātuṁ śakṣyatha|
29 and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'
matprērayitā pitā mām ēkākinaṁ na tyajati sa mayā sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhati yatōhaṁ tadabhimataṁ karmma sadā karōmi|
30 As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
tadā tasyaitāni vākyāni śrutvā bahuvastāsmin vyaśvasan|
31 Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,
yē yihūdīyā vyaśvasan yīśustēbhyō'kathayat
32 and the truth shall make you free.'
mama vākyē yadi yūyam āsthāṁ kurutha tarhi mama śiṣyā bhūtvā satyatvaṁ jñāsyatha tataḥ satyatayā yuṣmākaṁ mōkṣō bhaviṣyati|
33 They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?'
tadā tē pratyavādiṣuḥ vayam ibrāhīmō vaṁśaḥ kadāpi kasyāpi dāsā na jātāstarhi yuṣmākaṁ muktti rbhaviṣyatīti vākyaṁ kathaṁ bravīṣi?
34 Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,
tadā yīśuḥ pratyavadad yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthataraṁ vadāmi yaḥ pāpaṁ karōti sa pāpasya dāsaḥ|
35 and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; (aiōn g165)
dāsaśca nirantaraṁ nivēśanē na tiṣṭhati kintu putrō nirantaraṁ tiṣṭhati| (aiōn g165)
36 if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
ataḥ putrō yadi yuṣmān mōcayati tarhi nitāntamēva mukttā bhaviṣyatha|
37 'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;
yuyam ibrāhīmō vaṁśa ityahaṁ jānāmi kintu mama kathā yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇēṣu sthānaṁ na prāpnuvanti tasmāddhētō rmāṁ hantum īhadhvē|
38 I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.'
ahaṁ svapituḥ samīpē yadapaśyaṁ tadēva kathayāmi tathā yūyamapi svapituḥ samīpē yadapaśyata tadēva kurudhvē|
39 They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;
tadā tē pratyavōcan ibrāhīm asmākaṁ pitā tatō yīśurakathayad yadi yūyam ibrāhīmaḥ santānā abhaviṣyata tarhi ibrāhīma ācāraṇavad ācariṣyata|
40 and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;
īśvarasya mukhāt satyaṁ vākyaṁ śrutvā yuṣmān jñāpayāmi yōhaṁ taṁ māṁ hantuṁ cēṣṭadhvē ibrāhīm ētādr̥śaṁ karmma na cakāra|
41 ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;'
yūyaṁ svasvapituḥ karmmāṇi kurutha tadā tairukttaṁ na vayaṁ jārajātā asmākam ēkaēva pitāsti sa ēvēśvaraḥ
42 Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;
tatō yīśunā kathitam īśvarō yadi yuṣmākaṁ tātōbhaviṣyat tarhi yūyaṁ mayi prēmākariṣyata yatōham īśvarānnirgatyāgatōsmi svatō nāgatōhaṁ sa māṁ prāhiṇōt|
43 wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
yūyaṁ mama vākyamidaṁ na budhyadhvē kutaḥ? yatō yūyaṁ mamōpadēśaṁ sōḍhuṁ na śaknutha|
44 'Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.
yūyaṁ śaitān pituḥ santānā ētasmād yuṣmākaṁ piturabhilāṣaṁ pūrayatha sa ā prathamāt naraghātī tadantaḥ satyatvasya lēśōpi nāsti kāraṇādataḥ sa satyatāyāṁ nātiṣṭhat sa yadā mr̥ṣā kathayati tadā nijasvabhāvānusārēṇaiva kathayati yatō sa mr̥ṣābhāṣī mr̥ṣōtpādakaśca|
45 'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
ahaṁ tathyavākyaṁ vadāmi kāraṇādasmād yūyaṁ māṁ na pratītha|
46 Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?
mayi pāpamastīti pramāṇaṁ yuṣmākaṁ kō dātuṁ śaknōti? yadyahaṁ tathyavākyaṁ vadāmi tarhi kutō māṁ na pratitha?
47 he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'
yaḥ kaścana īśvarīyō lōkaḥ sa īśvarīyakathāyāṁ manō nidhattē yūyam īśvarīyalōkā na bhavatha tannidānāt tatra na manāṁsi nidhadvē|
48 The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
tadā yihūdīyāḥ pratyavādiṣuḥ tvamēkaḥ śōmirōṇīyō bhūtagrastaśca vayaṁ kimidaṁ bhadraṁ nāvādiṣma?
49 Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;
tatō yīśuḥ pratyavādīt nāhaṁ bhūtagrastaḥ kintu nijatātaṁ sammanyē tasmād yūyaṁ mām apamanyadhvē|
50 and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
ahaṁ svasukhyātiṁ na cēṣṭē kintu cēṣṭitā vicārayitā cāpara ēka āstē|
51 verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' (aiōn g165)
ahaṁ yuṣmabhyam atīva yathārthaṁ kathayāmi yō narō madīyaṁ vācaṁ manyatē sa kadācana nidhanaṁ na drakṣyati| (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age! (aiōn g165)
yihūdīyāstamavadan tvaṁ bhūtagrasta itīdānīm avaiṣma| ibrāhīm bhaviṣyadvādinañca sarvvē mr̥tāḥ kintu tvaṁ bhāṣasē yō narō mama bhāratīṁ gr̥hlāti sa jātu nidhānāsvādaṁ na lapsyatē| (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'
tarhi tvaṁ kim asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣād ibrāhīmōpi mahān? yasmāt sōpi mr̥taḥ bhaviṣyadvādinōpi mr̥tāḥ tvaṁ svaṁ kaṁ pumāṁsaṁ manuṣē?
54 Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;
yīśuḥ pratyavōcad yadyahaṁ svaṁ svayaṁ sammanyē tarhi mama tat sammananaṁ kimapi na kintu mama tātō yaṁ yūyaṁ svīyam īśvaraṁ bhāṣadhvē saēva māṁ sammanutē|
55 and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;
yūyaṁ taṁ nāvagacchatha kintvahaṁ tamavagacchāmi taṁ nāvagacchāmīti vākyaṁ yadi vadāmi tarhi yūyamiva mr̥ṣābhāṣī bhavāmi kintvahaṁ tamavagacchāmi tadākṣāmapi gr̥hlāmi|
56 Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
yuṣmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣa ibrāhīm mama samayaṁ draṣṭum atīvāvāñchat tannirīkṣyānandacca|
57 The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'
tadā yihūdīyā apr̥cchan tava vayaḥ pañcāśadvatsarā na tvaṁ kim ibrāhīmam adrākṣīḥ?
58 Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;'
yīśuḥ pratyavādīd yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthataraṁ vadāmi ibrāhīmō janmanaḥ pūrvvakālamārabhyāhaṁ vidyē|
59 they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
tadā tē pāṣāṇān uttōlya tamāhantum udayacchan kintu yīśu rguptō mantirād bahirgatya tēṣāṁ madhyēna prasthitavān|
