Κατα Ιωαννην 7
1 Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα, περιεπάτει ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ, οὐ γὰρ ἤθελεν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ περιπατεῖν, ὅτι ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀποκτεῖναι.
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to slay him.
2 Ἦν δὲ ἐγγὺς ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἡ σκηνοπηγία.
And the Jewish feast of tabernacles drew near.
3 Εἶπον οὖν πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, “Μετάβηθι ἐντεῦθεν, καὶ ὕπαγε εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν, ἵνα καὶ οἱ μαθηταί σου θεωρήσουσιν σοῦ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιεῖς.
And the brothers of Jesus said to him: Leave here, and go into Judaea; that thy disciples may see the works thou doest.
4 Οὐδεὶς γάρ τι ἐν κρυπτῷ ποιεῖ καὶ ζητεῖ αὐτὸς ἐν παρρησίᾳ εἶναι.” Εἰ ταῦτα ποιεῖς, φανέρωσον σεαυτὸν τῷ κόσμῳ.
For there is no one who doeth any thing in secret, while he wisheth to become public. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5 Οὐδὲ γὰρ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπίστευον εἰς αὐτόν.
For even his brothers did not believe in Jesus.
6 Λέγει οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ὁ καιρὸς ὁ ἐμὸς οὔπω πάρεστιν, ὁ δὲ καιρὸς ὁ ὑμέτερος πάντοτέ ἐστιν ἕτοιμος.
Jesus said to them: My time hath not yet come: but your time is always ready.
7 Οὐ δύναται ὁ κόσμος μισεῖν ὑμᾶς, ἐμὲ δὲ μισεῖ, ὅτι ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ πονηρά ἐστιν.
The world cannot hate you, but me it hateth; because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.
8 Ὑμεῖς ἀνάβητε εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν· ἐγὼ οὔπω ἀναβαίνω εἰς τὴν ἑορτὴν ταύτην, ὅτι ὁ ἐμὸς καιρὸς οὔπω πεπλήρωται.”
Go ye up to the feast; I do not go up to this feast now, because my time is not yet completed.
9 Ταῦτα δὲ εἰπὼν αὐτοῖς ἔμεινεν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ.
These things he said, and remained still in Galilee.
10 Ὡς δὲ ἀνέβησαν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν, τότε καὶ αὐτὸς ἀνέβη, οὐ φανερῶς, ἀλλʼ ὡς ἐν κρυπτῷ.
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were secretly.
11 Οἱ οὖν Ἰουδαῖοι ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, καὶ ἔλεγον, “Ποῦ ἐστιν ἐκεῖνος;”
And the Jews sought for him at the feast; and they said, Where is he?
12 Καὶ γογγυσμὸς περὶ αὐτοῦ ἦν πολὺς ἐν τοῖς ὄχλοις. Οἱ μὲν ἔλεγον, ὅτι “Ἀγαθός ἐστιν”, ἄλλοι δὲ ἔλεγον, “Οὔ, ἀλλὰ πλανᾷ τὸν ὄχλον.”
And there was much altercation among the people respecting him; for some said, He is a good man; while others said, No, but he deceiveth the people.
13 Οὐδεὶς μέντοι παρρησίᾳ ἐλάλει περὶ αὐτοῦ, διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν Ἰουδαίων.
Yet no one spoke openly of him, from fear of the Jews.
14 Ἤδη δὲ τῆς ἑορτῆς μεσούσης, ἀνέβη ˚Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν καὶ ἐδίδασκεν.
And in the midst of the days of the feast, Jesus went into the temple, and taught.
15 Ἐθαύμαζον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι λέγοντες, “Πῶς οὗτος γράμματα οἶδεν, μὴ μεμαθηκώς;”
And the Jews wondered, and said: How knoweth this man literature, having not been educated?
16 Ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτοῖς ˚Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν, “Ἡ ἐμὴ διδαχὴ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐμὴ, ἀλλὰ τοῦ πέμψαντός με.
Jesus answered and said: My doctrine is not from me, but from him that sent me.
17 Ἐάν τις θέλῃ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ποιεῖν, γνώσεται περὶ τῆς διδαχῆς, πότερον ἐκ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐστιν, ἢ ἐγὼ ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ λαλῶ.
He that wisheth to do his pleasure, will understand my doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from my own pleasure.
18 Ὁ ἀφʼ ἑαυτοῦ λαλῶν, τὴν δόξαν τὴν ἰδίαν ζητεῖ· ὁ δὲ ζητῶν τὴν δόξαν τοῦ πέμψαντος αὐτὸν, οὗτος ἀληθής ἐστιν, καὶ ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν.
He that speaketh according to the pleasure of his own mind, seeketh glory for himself: but he who seeketh the glory of him that sent him, is veracious, and evil is not in his heart.
19 Οὐ Μωϋσῆς δέδωκεν ὑμῖν τὸν νόμον, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐξ ὑμῶν ποιεῖ τὸν νόμον; Τί με ζητεῖτε ἀποκτεῖναι;”
Did not Moses give you the law? Yet no one of you observeth the law.
20 Ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ὄχλος, “Δαιμόνιον ἔχεις· τίς σε ζητεῖ ἀποκτεῖναι;”
Why do ye seek to kill me? The multitude answered and said: Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?
21 Ἀπεκρίθη ˚Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Ἓν ἔργον ἐποίησα καὶ πάντες θαυμάζετε.
Jesus replied, and said to them: I have wrought one work, and ye all wonder.
22 Διὰ τοῦτο Μωϋσῆς δέδωκεν ὑμῖν τὴν περιτομήν (οὐχ ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Μωϋσέως ἐστὶν, ἀλλʼ ἐκ τῶν πατέρων), καὶ ἐν Σαββάτῳ περιτέμνετε ἄνθρωπον.
Because Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it was from Moses, but it was from the fathers, ) ye circumcise a child on the sabbath.
23 Εἰ περιτομὴν λαμβάνει ἄνθρωπος ἐν Σαββάτῳ, ἵνα μὴ λυθῇ ὁ νόμος Μωϋσέως, ἐμοὶ χολᾶτε ὅτι ὅλον ἄνθρωπον ὑγιῆ ἐποίησα ἐν Σαββάτῳ;
And if a child is circumcised on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be violated, do ye murmur at me, because I have made a man entirely sound on the sabbath day?
24 Μὴ κρίνετε κατʼ ὄψιν, ἀλλὰ τὴν δικαίαν κρίσιν κρίνετε.”
Judge not, with a respect for persons; but judge ye a righteous judgment.
25 Ἔλεγον οὖν τινες ἐκ τῶν Ἱεροσολυμιτῶν, “Οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὃν ζητοῦσιν ἀποκτεῖναι;
And some from Jerusalem said: Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 Καὶ ἴδε, παρρησίᾳ λαλεῖ, καὶ οὐδὲν αὐτῷ λέγουσιν. Μήποτε ἀληθῶς ἔγνωσαν οἱ ἄρχοντες ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ˚Χριστός;
And lo, he discourseth publicly, and they say nothing to him. Do our Elders know, that he really is the Messiah?
27 Ἀλλὰ τοῦτον οἴδαμεν πόθεν ἐστίν. Ὁ δὲ ˚Χριστὸς ὅταν ἔρχηται, οὐδεὶς γινώσκει πόθεν ἐστίν.”
Yet we know this man, whence he is; the Messiah, when he shall come, no one knoweth whence he is.
28 Ἔκραξεν οὖν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ διδάσκων ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, καὶ λέγων, “Κἀμὲ οἴδατε, καὶ οἴδατε πόθεν εἰμί· καὶ ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐκ ἐλήλυθα, ἀλλʼ ἔστιν ἀληθινὸς ὁ πέμψας με, ὃν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε.
And Jesus, while teaching in the temple, raised his voice and said: Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am. And I did not come of my own accord; but he that sent me is true. Him ye know not;
29 Ἐγὼ οἶδα αὐτόν, ὅτι παρʼ αὐτοῦ εἰμι, κἀκεῖνός με ἀπέστειλεν.”
but I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me.
30 Ἐζήτουν οὖν αὐτὸν πιάσαι, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπέβαλεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὴν χεῖρα, ὅτι οὔπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὥρα αὐτοῦ.
And they sought to apprehend him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 Ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου δὲ πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν, καὶ ἔλεγον, “Ὁ ˚Χριστὸς, ὅταν ἔλθῃ, μὴ πλείονα σημεῖα ποιήσει ὧν οὗτος ἐποίησεν;”
And many of the multitude believed on him, and said: When the Messiah cometh, will he work greater signs than these which this man doeth?
32 Ἤκουσαν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι τοῦ ὄχλου γογγύζοντος περὶ αὐτοῦ ταῦτα, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ὑπηρέτας, ἵνα πιάσωσιν αὐτόν.
And the Pharisees heard the multitude say these things of him: and they and the chief priests sent constables to take him.
33 Εἶπεν οὖν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἔτι χρόνον μικρὸν μεθʼ ὑμῶν εἰμι, καὶ ὑπάγω πρὸς τὸν πέμψαντά με.
And Jesus said: A little while longer I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
34 Ζητήσετέ με, καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετέ, με καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὑμεῖς, οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν.”
And ye will seek me, and will not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come.
35 Εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρὸς ἑαυτούς, “Ποῦ οὗτος μέλλει πορεύεσθαι, ὅτι ἡμεῖς οὐχ εὑρήσομεν αὐτόν; Μὴ εἰς τὴν διασπορὰν τῶν Ἑλλήνων μέλλει πορεύεσθαι, καὶ διδάσκειν τοὺς Ἕλληνας;
The Jews said among themselves: Whither is he about to go, that we cannot find him? Will he go to some region of the Gentiles, and teach the profane?
36 Τίς ἐστιν ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὃν εἶπεν, ‘Ζητήσετέ με, καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετέ, με καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν’;”
What means this speech he uttered: Ye will seek me, and will not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
37 Ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ μεγάλῃ τῆς ἑορτῆς εἱστήκει ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἔκραξεν λέγων, “Ἐάν τις διψᾷ, ἐρχέσθω πρός με καὶ πινέτω.
And on the great day, which was the last of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, and said: If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink.
38 Ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμέ, καθὼς εἶπεν ἡ Γραφή, ‘Ποταμοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας αὐτοῦ ῥεύσουσιν ὕδατος ζῶντος.’”
Whoever believeth in me, as the scriptures have said, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living waters.
39 Τοῦτο δὲ εἶπεν περὶ τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος, οὗ ἔμελλον λαμβάνειν, οἱ πιστεύσαντες εἰς αὐτόν· οὔπω γὰρ ἦν ˚Πνεῦμα, ὅτι ˚Ἰησοῦς οὐδέπω ἐδοξάσθη.
(This he said of the Spirit, which they who believe in him were to receive: for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου οὖν, ἀκούσαντες τῶν λόγων τούτων, ἔλεγον, “Οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ προφήτης”.
And many of the multitude who heard his discourses, said: Certainly, he is a prophet.
41 Ἄλλοι ἔλεγον, “Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ˚Χριστός.” Οἱ δὲ ἔλεγον, “Μὴ γὰρ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ὁ ˚Χριστὸς ἔρχεται;
Others said: He is the Messiah. Others said: Doth Messiah come from Galilee?
42 Οὐχ ἡ Γραφὴ εἶπεν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἀπὸ Βηθλέεμ, τῆς κώμης ὅπου ἦν Δαυὶδ, ἔρχεται ὁ ˚Χριστός;”
Doth not the scriptures say, That Messiah cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town of David?
43 Σχίσμα οὖν ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ὄχλῳ διʼ αὐτόν.
And there was a division among the multitude respecting him.
44 Τινὲς δὲ ἤθελον ἐξ αὐτῶν πιάσαι αὐτόν, ἀλλʼ οὐδεὶς ἔβαλεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας.
And there were some of them who wished to apprehend him. But no one laid hands on him.
45 Ἦλθον οὖν οἱ ὑπηρέται πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ Φαρισαίους, καὶ εἶπον αὐτοῖς ἐκεῖνοι, “Διὰ τί οὐκ ἠγάγετε αὐτόν;”
And the constables came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and the priests said to them: Why have ye not brought him?
46 Ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ὑπηρέται, “Οὐδέποτε ἐλάλησεν οὕτως ἄνθρωπος.”
The constables say to them: Never did a man speak, as this man speaketh.
47 Ἀπεκρίθησαν οὖν αὐτοῖς οἱ Φαρισαῖοι, “Μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς πεπλάνησθε;
The Pharisees said to them: Are ye also deceived?
48 Μή τις ἐκ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐπίστευσεν εἰς αὐτὸν, ἢ ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων;
Have any of the chiefs, or of the Pharisees, believed in him?
49 Ἀλλὰ ὁ ὄχλος οὗτος, ὁ μὴ γινώσκων τὸν νόμον, ἐπάρατοί εἰσιν.”
But this people, who know not the law, are accursed.
50 Λέγει Νικόδημος πρὸς αὐτούς, ὁ ἐλθὼν πρὸς αὐτὸν πρότερον, εἷς ὢν ἐξ αὐτῶν,
One of them: Nicodemus, he who came to Jesus by night, said to them:
51 “Μὴ ὁ νόμος ἡμῶν κρίνει τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ πρῶτον παρʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ γνῷ τί ποιεῖ;”
Doth our law condemn a man, unless it first hear him, and know what he hath done?
52 Ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, “Μὴ καὶ σὺ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶ; Ἐραύνησον καὶ ἴδε ὅτι ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας προφήτης οὐκ ἐγείρεται.”
They answered, and said to him: Art thou also from Galilee? Search, and see, that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.
So they went every one to his own house.
