Jọn 8
1 Ma Jisọs rigooro nʼUgwu Oliv.
but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, ọ bịara ọzọ nʼụlọnsọ ukwuu ebe ọtụtụ mmadụ bịakwutere ya. Ọ nọdụrụ ala malite ikuziri ha ihe.
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 Ndị ozizi iwu na ndị Farisii dọkpụtara otu nwanyị ha jidere nʼịkwa iko. Ha mere ka o guzo nʼihu igwe mmadụ ahụ niile.
And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,
4 Ha sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi, anyị jidere nwanyị a ka ọ na-akwa iko.
they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Nʼiwu, Mosis nyere anyị ikike ka e jiri okwute tugbuo onye mere ihe dị otu a. Gịnị ka i nwere ikwu banyere nke a?”
Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?
6 Ha kwuru nke a iji nwalee ya, iji nweta ihe ha ga-eji ebo ya ebubo. Ma Jisọs hulatara ala were mkpịsịaka ya dee ihe nʼala.
And this they said, trying him, that they might have [whereof] to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
7 Mgbe ha nọgidere na-ajụ ya ajụjụ, o biliri sị ha, “Onye ọbụla nʼime unu na-emebeghị mmehie ọbụla, ya buru ụzọ tụọ ya nkume.”
But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 Ọzọ, o hulatakwara ala malite ide ihe ọ na-ede nʼala.
And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9 Mgbe ha nụrụ nke a, ha niile nʼotu nʼotu, malite nʼonye okenye ha, sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ. Nʼikpeazụ, ọ fọdụrụ naanị Jisọs na nwanyị ahụ, ebe o guzoro nʼihu ya.
And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.
10 Jisọs guzoro ọtọ jụọ ya sị, “Nwanyị, oleekwanụ ha? Ọ dịghị onye mara gị ikpe?”
And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?
11 Ọ sịrị, “O nweghị onye ọbụla Onyenwe anyị.” Jisọs sịrị ya, “Mụ onwe m amakwaghị gị ikpe: Gawa, kama emehiekwala ọzọ.”
And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.]
12 Ọzọ, Jisọs gwara ha sị, “Abụ m ihe nke ụwa. Onye ọbụla na-eso m agaghị ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị, kama ọ ga-enwe ìhè nke ndụ.”
Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 Ndị Farisii sịrị, “Ị na-agbara onwe gị ama! Ya mere ama ị na-agbara onwe gị abụghị ezie.”
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
14 Ma Jisọs zara sị, “A sịkwarị na mụ na-agbara onwe m ama, ama m na-agba bụ eziokwu. Nʼihi na-amara m ebe m si bịa, marakwa m ebe m na-aga. Ma unu aghọtaghị ebe m si bịa, maọbụ ebe m na-aga.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.
15 Unu na-ekpe ikpe dị ka mmadụ; ma ekpeghị m onye ọbụla ikpe.
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 Ma ọ bụrụ na m ekpe ikpe, ikpe m bụ eziokwu nʼihi na ọ bụghị naanị m nọ, kama ọ bụ mụ na Nna m, onye zitere m.
Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 E dere nʼiwu unu sị, ‘ama mmadụ abụọ gbara bụ eziokwu.’
Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.
18 Ana m agba ama banyere onwe m. Nna m, onye zitere m, na-agbakwa ama banyere m.”
I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 Mgbe ahụ ha jụrụ ya, “Olee ebe Nna gị nọ?” Jisọs zara, “Unu amaghị m, unu amakwaghị Nna m. Ọ bụrụ na unu matara m unu ga-amatakwa onye Nna m bụ.”
They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.
20 Okwu ndị a niile ka o kwuru nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ha, mgbe ọ na-akụzi ihe na mpaghara ụlọ ahụ ebe a na-adọba onyinye. Ma ọ dịghị onye ọbụla jidere ya nʼihi na oge ya erubeghị.
These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.
21 Ọzọ ọ gwara ha, “Aga m ahapụ unu, unu ga-achọ m, ma unu ga-anwụ nʼime mmehie unu. Ma unu apụghị ịbịa nʼebe m na-aga.”
He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Nke a mere ka ndị Juu na-asị, “Ọ ga-egbu onwe ya? Ọ bụ ya mere o ji sị, ‘Ebe m na-aga unu apụghị ị bịa’?”
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?
23 Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Unu si nʼala ma esi m nʼelu bịa. Unu bụkwa ndị ụwa, ma abụkwaghị m nke ụwa a.
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 A sịrị m unu na unu ga-anwụ nʼime mmehie unu, naanị na unu kwenyere na mụ onwe m, bụ onye ahụ.”
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
25 Ha jụrụ ya, “Onye ka ị bụ?” Jisọs zara sị ha, “Abụ m onye ahụ m gwara unu na m bụ na mbụ.
They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.
26 E nwere m ọtụtụ ihe m ga-ekwu nʼikpe unu ikpe. Ma matanụ na onye ahụ zitere m bụ onye eziokwu. Nʼihi nke a, ihe niile m nụrụ site nʼọnụ ya ka m gwara ụwa.”
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.
27 Ọ bụ ihe banyere Nna ya ka ọ na-agwa ha, ma ha aghọtaghị ya.
They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Ya mere Jisọs sịrị, “Mgbe unu weliri Nwa nke Mmadụ elu, mgbe ahụ ka unu ga-ama na mụ onwe m bụ ya. Unu ga-amatakwa na ọ dịghị ihe m na-eme nʼonwe m, kama, dị ka Nna m ziri m ka m na-ekwu ihe ndị a.
Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things.
29 Onye ahụ nke zitere m na-anọnyekwara m. Ọ hapụghịkwa m mgbe ọbụla, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe na-amasị ya ka m na-eme mgbe niile.”
And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.
30 Mgbe ọ na-ekwu ihe ndị a, ọtụtụ kwenyere na ya.
As he spake these things, many believed on him.
31 Jisọs gwara ndị Juu ndị kwere na ya, “Ọ bụrụ na unu anọgide nʼokwu m nʼezie unu ga-abụ ndị na-eso ụzọ m.
Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples;
32 Unu ga-amatakwa eziokwu ahụ, eziokwu ahụ ga-emekwa ka unu nwere onwe unu.”
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 Ha zara ya, “Anyị bụ ụmụ Ebraham, o nwebeghị oge anyị ji bụrụ ohu onye ọbụla. Olee otu i si na-asị na a ga-eme ka anyị nwere onwe anyị?”
They answered unto him, We are Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jisọs zara ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie asị m unu, onye ọbụla na-eme mmehie bụ ohu mmehie.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.
And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na Ọkpara ahụ emee ka unu nwere onwe unu nʼezie, unu ga-abụ ndị nwere onwe unu.
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 Ama m na unu bụ ụmụ ụmụ Ebraham, ma unu na-achọ igbu m nʼihi na okwu m enweghị ọnọdụ nʼime unu.
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.
38 Ana m ekwu ihe m hụrụ nʼebe Nna m nọ, ma unu na-eme ihe unu nụrụ site nʼaka nna unu.”
I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father.
39 Ha zara ya, “Ebraham bụ nna anyị.” Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na unu bụ ụmụ Ebraham, unu gara na-arụ ọrụ Ebraham rụrụ.
They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 Ma unu na-achọ igbu m, bụ onye gwara unu eziokwu ahụ m nụrụ nʼebe Chineke nọ. Ebraham emeghị otu a.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.
41 Unu na-arụ ọrụ nna unu rụrụ.” Ha sịrị ya, “Anyị abụghị ụmụ a mụrụ site nʼịkwa iko; naanị Chineke ya onwe ya bụ otu Nna anyị nwere.”
Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
42 Jisọs gwara ha, “Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na Chineke bụ Nna unu, unu ga-ahụ m nʼanya, nʼihi na ọ bụ Chineke zitere m. Abịaghị m site nʼike aka m.
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Gịnị mere unu adịghị aghọta ihe m na-ekwu? Ọ bụ na unu enweghị ike ịnabata okwu m.
Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Unu bụ ụmụ nke nna unu ekwensu. Uche unu bụ imezu ihe nke nna unu na-achọ. Ọ bụ ogbu ọchụ site na mbụ. Ọ dịghị ejigide eziokwu nʼihi na eziokwu adịghị nʼime ya. Mgbe ọ na-ekwu okwu ụgha, ọ na-ekwu dị ka ọdịdị ya sịrị dị, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye ụgha bụrụkwa nna nke ụgha.
Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
45 Ma nʼihi na m na-ekwu eziokwu, ọ bụ ya mere unu ekwenyeghị na m.
But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.
46 O nwere onye nʼime unu pụrụ ịtụ m mmehie m nʼihu? Ọ bụrụ na m na-ekwu eziokwu, gịnị mere unu ekwenyeghị na m?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 Onye ọbụla sitere na Chineke na-anụ ihe Chineke na-ekwu. Ihe kpatara unu adịghị anụ bụ maka unu abụghị ndị nke Chineke.”
He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
48 Ndị Juu zara sị, “Anyị e kwughị eziokwu mgbe anyị sịrị na ị bụ onye Sameria, na mmụọ ọjọọ bikwa nʼime gị?”
The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Jisọs zaghachiri, “Mmụọ ọjọọ ọbụla adịghị nʼime m, kama ana m asọpụrụ Nna m, ma unu adịghị asọpụrụ m.
Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
50 Anaghị m achọ otuto nke onwe m, kama ọ dị onye nke na-achọ ya. Ọ bụkwa ya bụ onye ikpe.
But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Mgbe ahụ ndị Juu sịrị ya, “Anyị maara ugbu a na mmụọ ọjọọ bi nʼime gị. Ebraham nwụrụ anwụ ya na ndị amụma, ma gị onwe gị na-asị na onye ọbụla kwere na gị agaghị anwụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. (aiōn g165)
The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death. (aiōn g165)
53 Ị dị ukwuu karịa nna anyị Ebraham? Ọ nwụrụ, ma ndị amụma nwụkwara. Onye ka ị na-eche na ị bụ?”
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jisọs zara, “Ọ bụrụ na m etoo onwe m, otuto m bụ ihe efu, Nna m, onye unu na-asị na ọ bụ Chineke unu, bụ onye na-eto m.
Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;
55 Amaara m onye ọ bụ nʼagbanyeghị na unu amaghị ya. Aga m abụ onye ụgha ma ọ bụrụ na m ga-asị na-amaghị m onye ọ bụ. Amaara m ya na-edebekwa okwu ya.
and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.
56 Nna unu Ebraham ṅụrịrị ọṅụ mgbe o chetara na ọ ga-ahụ ụbọchị m; ọ hụrụ ya ma ṅụrịakwa ọnụ.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Ndị Juu sịrị ya, “Ị gbabeghị iri afọ ise ma ị hụla Ebraham?”
The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, tupu amụọ Ebraham, mụ onwe m nọ ya.”
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am.
59 Ya mere, ha tụtụlitere nkume ịtụ ya, ma Jisọs zoro onwe ya, sitekwa nʼụlọnsọ ukwuu ahụ pụọ.
They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
