Yohaannisa 8
1 Issoy issoy aggidi ba soo ba soo bis, shin Yesuusi Shamaho Deriya bolla bis.
Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Qassi wonttetha gallas guura Xoossa Keethi simmis. Daro asay iyaakko yin uttidi entta tamaarssis.
At dawn, however, he came back to the Temple, where the people came to him in crowds. He had taken his seat and was teaching them,
3 Higge asttamaaretinne Farisaaweti laymatishin oykkida issi maccasiw iyaakko ehidosona. Entti asa ubbaa sinthan iyo essidi,
when the Scribes and Pharisees had brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They made her stand in the middle of the court, and said to him.
4 “Asttamaariyaw, ha maccasiya laymatishin nu oykkida.
"Rabbi, this woman has been found in the very act of adultery.
5 Muse higgey hanni mela maccas shuchchan cadeetta hayqqana mela kiittees. Yaatin, neeni woygay?” yaagidosona.
"Now Moses, in the Law, has commanded us to stone such creatures. But you, what do you say?"
6 Entti hessa giday Yesuusa paaccidi iya mootiyabaa demmanaasa. Shin Yesuusi hokkidi ba biradhdhen biitta bolla xaafis.
(This they said to tempt him, so that they could bring a charge against him.)
7 Entti iya zaari zaari oychchidi aggonna ixxin, pude dhoqqu gidi, “Hintte giddon nagara oothiboonna asi koyrottidi iyo shuchchan caddo” yaagis.
But Jesus stooped down, and began to write on the ground with his finger. When they continued to question him, he raised himself and said to them, "Let the innocent man among you be the first to throw the stone at her."
8 Qassika hokkidi biitta bolla xaafis.
Then he stooped down again, and again began to write on the ground.
9 Entti hessa si7ida wode cimatappe doomidi issoy issoy keyishe wuridosona. Yesuusa xalaali he bessan eqqida maccaseera attis.
When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus was left behind alone - and the woman in the middle of the court.
10 I pude dhoqqu gidi maccaseekko, “Maccasete, asati aw bidonaa? Ne bolla pirddiday oonikka baawee?” yaagis.
Then Jesus raised himself up and said to her. "Woman, where are they? Has no man condemn you,"
11 Maccasiya, “Godaw, oonikka baawa” yaagasu. Yesuusi zaaridi, “Taanikka ne bolla pirddike. Ba; zaarada nagara oothofa” yaagis.
"No one, Sir," she answered. "Neither do I condemned you," said Jesus. "Go, and never sin again."
12 Qassika Yesuusi asaakko, “Taani alamiyas poo7o. Tana kaalliya oonikka de7o immiya poo7uwa ekkanaappe attin dhuman simerettena” yaagidi odis.
Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the light of the world," he said; "He who follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the Light of life."
13 Farisaaweti, “Ne nebaa markkattasa, shin ne markkatethay tuma gidenna” yaagidosona.
Then said the Pharisees to him. "You are bearing testimony to yourself; your testimony is not true."
14 Yesuusi zaaridi, “Taani tabaa markkattikokka ta markkatethay tuma. Ays giikko, taani awuppe yidaakko qassi aw biyakko erays, shin hintte erekketa.
In reply Jesus said to them. "Even if I do bear testimony to concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from, or where I am going.
15 Hintte asa qofan pirddeeta; taani issi asa bollaka pirddike.
"For you are judging according to the flesh. I am judging no man.
16 Taani pirddiyabaa gidikkoka ta pirdday tuma. Ays giikko, tana kiittida ta Aaway taara de7eesippe attin taani tarkka de7ikke.
"Though even if I do judge, my judgment is trustworthy, because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.
17 Nam77u asa markkatethi tuma gideyssi hintte higgiyan xaafettis.
"And in your Law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Taani tabaa ta huu7en markkattays; qassi tana kiittida ta Aawaykka tabaa markkattees” yaagis.
"I am one who gives testimony concerning myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony concerning me."
19 Entti, “Ne aaway awun de7ii?” yaagidi iya oychchidosona. Yesuusi zaaridi, “Hintte tana woykko ta Aawa erekketa. Tana eridabaa gidiyakko, hintte ta Aawakka eranashin” yaagis.
"Where is your Father?" they asked him. "You have neither known me nor my Father," answered Jesus. "If you had known me, you would have known my father also."
20 Yesuusi Xoossa Keethan muxaata miishiya yeggiya saaxiney de7iya bessan hessa tamaarssis. Iya qammay buroo gakkiboonna gisho oonikka iya oykkibeenna.
He said these words in the Treasury, while he was teaching in the Temple; yet no one arrested him, because his hour was not yet come.
21 Qassika Yesuusi enttako, “Taani baana; hintte tana koyana, shin hintte atotethi demmonna hintte nagaran hayqqana. Taani biyasuwa baanaw hintte dandda7ekketa” yaagis.
Then again he said them. "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I am going, you cannot come."
22 Ayhude halaqati, “I, ‘Taani biyasuwa hintte baanaw dandda7ekketa’ yaagees. I bana barkka wodhaneyye?” yaagidosona.
Then the Jews said. "He will not kill himself, will he? Is that why he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?"
23 Yesuusi zaaridi, “Hintte garssafe; taani bollafe. Hintte ha alamiyappe, taani ha alamiyappe gidikke.
And he said to them. "You are from below. I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.
24 Hintte atotethi demmonna hintte nagaran hayqqana gada taani hinttew odiday hessassa. Taani Tana Gideyssa hintte ammanonna ixxiko hintte atotethi demmonna hintte nagaran hayqqana” yaagis.
"That is why I said that you would die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
25 Entti, “Neeni oonee?” yaagidi oychchidosona. Yesuusi zaaridi, “Taani, koyroppe hinttew odida tana.
"Who are you?" then they asked him. "What I am telling you from the beginning," Jesus answered.
26 Taani hinttebaa odada pirddiyabay darobay de7ees. Shin tana kiittidayssi tumanchcho; qassi taani iyappe si7idayssa xalaala alamiyas odays” yaagis.
"I have many things to say and to judge concerning you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world only those things which I have heard from him."
27 Yesuusi ba Aawabaa odeyssa entti akeekibookkona.
They did not understand that he meant the Father,
28 Hessa gisho, Yesuusi enttako, “Hintte Asa Na7aa pude dhoqqu oothiya wode Taani Tana Gideyysa hintte erana. Qassika taani ta maatan aykkoka oothonayssanne ta Aaway tana tamaarssidayssa odeyssa hintte erana.
so Jesus added. "When you lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am He; and that I do nothing on my own authority, but that I speak just as the Father has taught me,
29 Tana kiittidayssi taara de7ees. Taani ubba wode iya ufayssiyabaa oothiya gisho I tana ta xalaala aggibeenna” yaagis.
"and he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I do always the things that please him."
30 Yesuusi hessa odishin si7ida daro asay iya ammanidosona.
When he spoke in this way, many of the Jews believed in him.
31 Yesuusi bana ammanida asatakko, “Hintte ta timirttiyas kiitettiko tuma tana kaalleyssata.
So Jesus spoke to the Jews that believed him, saying. "If you abide in my teaching, you are my true disciples;
32 Hintte tumaa erana; tumaykka hinttena aylletethafe kessana” yaagis.
"and you shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
33 Entti zaaridi, “Nuuni Abrahaame sheeshi; nuuni oodeskka aylletibookko. Neeni woygada, ‘Hintte aylletethafe keyana’ gay?” yaagidosona.
"We are descendants of Abraham," they replied, "and have never been in slavery to any man. What do you mean by saying, ‘You shall become free’?"
34 Yesuusi zaaridi, “Taani hinttew tuma odays; nagara oothiya oonikka nagara aylle.
"In solemn truth I tell you," Jesus replied, "every one who commits sin is a slave
"Now the slave does not remain permanently in the household, but the son does remain. (aiōn g165)
36 Na7ay hinttena aylletethafe kessiko hintte aylletethafe tuma keyana.
"So then, if the Son shall set you free, you will be free indeed.
37 Hintte Abrahaame sheeshi gideyssa taani erays. Shin ta qaalay hintte wozanan baynna gisho, tana wodhanaw koyeeta.
"I know you are Abraham’s descendants; but you are seeking to kill me, Because my teaching has no place in you.
38 Taani ta Aaway tana bessidayssa odays, shin hintteka hintte aawappe si7idayssa ootheeta” yaagis.
"I am declaring what I have seen with the Father, and you are acting as you have learned from your father."
39 Entti zaaridi, “Nu aaway Abrahaame” yaagidosona. Yesuusi enttako, “Hintte Abrahaame nayta gidiyakko I oothidayssa oothana.
"Abraham is our father," they answered. "If you are indeed Abraham’s children," said Jesus "do the deeds of Abraham.
40 Shin Xoossafe si7ida tumaa odida tana hintte wodhanaw koyeeta. Abrahamey hessada oothibeenna.
"But now you are seeking to kill me - a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do that.
41 Hinttee, hintte aaway oothidayssa ootheeta” yaagis. Entti zaaridi, “Nuuni tuma Xoossaa nayta; nuus issi Aaway Xoossaa xalaali de7ees” yaagidosona.
"You are doing the deeds of your father." "We were not born of adultery," they said; "we have one Father, God."
42 Yesuusi enttako, “Xoossay tuma hintte aawa gidiyakko hintte tana dosana; ays giikko, taani Xoossaa matappe yada hayssan de7ays. Tana I kiittisppe attin taani ta maatan yabiikke.
Jesus said to them. "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and am now come from God. I did not come on my own authority, but God himself sent me.
43 Taani geyssa hintte si7anaw koyonna gisho ta giyabay hinttew gelenna.
"How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot listen to my message.
44 Hinttee, hintte aawa Xalahe nayta. Qassi hinttee, hintte aaway amottiyabaa oothanaw koyeeta. I koyroppe doomidi shemppo wodheyssa. Tumi iyan baynna gisho I tumaa ixxees. Worddoy iyaw medho gidida gishonne I worddo aawa gidiya gisho worddo odettishe baappe odettees.
"You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a man-slayer from the very beginning; and he has no standing place in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he utters a lie, he speaks from his nature, for he is a liar and the father of lying.
45 Taani tuma haasayays, shin hintte tana ammanekketa.
"But as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.
46 Hinttefe, ‘Neeni nagara oothishin ta be7as’ gaanaw dandda7ey oonee? Taani tuma odettiyabaa gidikko tana ays ammanekketii?
"Which one of you convicts me of sin? Why then, if I am speaking the truth, do you not believe me?
47 Xoossaa asi Xoossay giyabaa si7ees. Hintte Xoossaa asi gidonna gisho Xoossay giyabaa si7ekketa” yaagis.
"He who is from God listens to God’s words. For this reason you do not listen, because you are not from God."
48 Ayhudeti zaaridi, “‘Neeni Samaare asi; nenan tuna ayyaanay de7ees’ gishe likke gidokko?” yaagidosona.
In reply the Jews said to him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan, and you also have a demon?"
49 Yesuusi enttako “Ta bolla tuna ayyaani baawa. Taani ta Aawa bonchchays, shin hintte tana kawushsheta.
"I do not have a demon," said Jesus, "but I am honoring my Father, and you are dishonoring me.
50 Taani ta huu7e bonchcho koyikke; taani bonchchettana mela koyeysinne taw pirddeyssi de7ees.
"Yet I am not seeking my own honor. There is One who is seeking it, and He is judge.
"In solemn truth I tell you that if any one obeys my teaching he shall never behold death." (aiōn g165)
52 Ayhudeti zaaridi, “Ne bolla tuna ayyaanay de7eyssa nuuni ha77i erida. Abrahamey hayqqis; nabetikka hayqqidosona. Shin neeni, ‘Ta qaalaa naagiya oonikka hayqqenna’ yaagasa. (aiōn g165)
"Now we know that you have a demon," exclaimed the Jews. Abraham died, and so did the prophets; and yet you say, ‘If any man obeys my teaching he shall never taste death.’ (aiōn g165)
53 Neeni hayqqida nu aawa Abrahameppe aadhdhayye? Nabetikka qassi hayqqidosona. Neeni nena oona gada qoppay?” yaagidosona.
"You are not greater than our father Abraham, are you? And he died, and the prophets died. Who are you making yourself out to be?"
54 Yesuusi, “Taani tana bonchchiko ta bonchchoy hada. Hintte, ‘Nu Xoossaa’ giya ta Aaway I tana bonchchees.
"If I glorify myself." said Jesus, "my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifies me, and you say, ‘He is our God.’
55 Hintte iya eronna ixxiko taani iya erays. Taani iya erikke giikko hintte mela worddotays. Shin taani iya erays; qassi iya qaalaakka naagays.
"You are not acquainted with him; I know him. Were I to say, ‘I do not know him,’ I should be like you, a liar. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching.
56 Hintte aaway Abrahamey ta yuussaa gallasa be7idi ufayttanaw amottis; be7idikka ufayttis” yaagis.
"Your father Abraham rejoiced that he should see my day; and he saw it and was glad."
57 Ayhudeti zaaridi, “Hari attoshin, new ishatamu laythi kumibeennashin waanada Abrahaame be7as gay?” yaagidosona.
"You are not yet fifty years old," said the Jews to him, "and you have seen Abraham?"
58 Yesuusi enttako, “Taani hinttew tuma odays; Abrahamey yelettanaappe kase Taani Tana” yaagis.
"In solemn truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that before Abraham came into existence, I am."
59 Hessa gisho, entti Yesuusa caddanaw shuchchi ekkidosona. Shin Yesuusi enttafe geemmidi Xoossa Keethafe keyidi bis.
Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the Temple.
