John 8
1 ac Jesus el som nu Fineol Olive.
THEN Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
2 Toang na in lotu tok ah el folokla nu ke Tempul. Mwet nukewa fahsreni raunella, ac el muta nu ten ac mutawauk in lotelos.
But early in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people came to him; and sitting down he taught them.
3 Mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee use mutan se su sruoh mweyen el orek kosro, ac elos sap elan tu ye mutun mwet nukewa.
Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery; and placing her in the midst,
4 Ac elos fahk nu sin Jesus, “Mwet luti, mutan se inge sruoh ke el orek kosro.
they say unto him, Master, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.
5 In Ma Sap lasr uh Moses el sapkin mu kain in mutan se inge enenu in tatngal nu ke misa. A kom, mea kom ac fahk kac?”
Now Moses in the law commanded, that such women should be stoned: therefore what sayest thou?
6 Elos fahk ma inge in srikal Jesus, tuh elos in ku in tukakunulak ke kas lal. A el suwoli ac simis infohk uh ke kufinpaol.
But this they said, trying to entrap him, that they might have ground of accusation against him. But Jesus stooping down, with his finger wrote on the ground.
7 Ac ke elos sikalani na in kusen siyuk nu sel, el keyak ac fahk nu selos, “Mwet se su soenna oru ma koluk inmasrlowos, elan tanglal meet.”
Now when they continued questioning him, raising himself up, he said to them, Let the person who is sinless among you, first cast a stone at her.
8 Na el sifilpa suwoli ac simis infohk uh.
And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
9 Ke elos lohng kas lal inge, elos nukewa fahsrelik kais sie, mutawauk ke mwet ma matu selos. Jesus mukena lula yurin mutan sac, su srakna tu insac.
But when they heard him, and felt the conviction of their conscience, they slunk away one by one, beginning from the elders to the last: so Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing in the midst.
10 El keyak ac fahk nu sel, “Pia mwet ah? Wangin mwet lula in nununkekom?”
Then Jesus raising himself up, and seeing no person but the woman, said unto her, Woman, where are these thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 Mutan sac topuk, “Leum, wanginna.” Na Jesus el fahk, “Kwal, nga ac tia pac nununkekom. Kom ku in som, tusruktu nimet sifilpa oru ma koluk.”]
She said, No man, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Jesus el sifilpa kaskas nu sin mwet Pharisee ac fahk, “Nga kalem lun faclu. Kutena mwet su fahsr tukuk fah oasr kalem lun moul yorol, ac el fah tiana fahsr in lohsr.”
Then spake Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 Mwet Pharisee elos fahk nu sel, “Inge kom orek loh keim sifacna. Ma kom fahk an tia akpwayei kutena ma.”
The Pharisees said to him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
14 Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Nga finne orek loh keik sifacna, ma nga fahk uh pwaye, mweyen nga etu acn nga tuku we me, ac acn nga ac som nu we. Kowos tia etu acn nga tuku we me ku acn nga ac som nu we.
Jesus answered and said to them, Though I do bear witness of myself, my witness is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I am going.
15 Kowos orek nununku fal nu ke nunak lun mwet. Nga tia nununku kutena mwet.
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 Tusruktu nga fin oru, nununku luk ac suwosna, mweyen tia nga mukena kac, a Papa su supweyume el wiyu.
But though I should judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
17 Simla in Ma Sap lowos mu ke mwet loh luo nunak sefanna, ma eltal fahk uh pwaye.
Now even in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Nga orek loh keik sifacna, ac Papa su supweyume El oayapa orek loh keik.”
I am a witness for myself, and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me.
19 Elos siyuk sel, “Pia papa tomom an?” Jesus el topuk, “Kowos tia eteyu, ac kowos tia pac etu Papa tumuk. Kowos funu eteyu kowos lukun etu pac Papa tumuk.”
Then said they to him, Where is thy father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.
20 Jesus el fahk ma inge ke el luti in Tempul, apkuran nu ke infukil se ma box in mwe sang uh oan we. A wangin mwet sruokilya, mweyen pacl lal soenna tuku.
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no person apprehended him; for his hour was not yet come.
21 Jesus el sifilpa fahk nu selos, “Nga fah som liki kowos, ac kowos fah sukyu, tusruktu kowos ac misa in ma koluk lowos. Kowos koflana som nu yen nga ac som nu we.”
Then spake Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I am going ye cannot come.
22 Ke ma inge mwet fulat lun mwet Jew elos fahk, “El fahk mu kut tia ku in som nu yen el ac som nu we. Ya kalmac pa el ac sifacna unilya?”
The Jews said therefore, Will he kill himself? because he said, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 Jesus el topuk, “Kowos ma ten me, a nga tuku lucng me. Kowos ma lun faclu, a nga tia ma lun faclu.
And he said to them, Ye are from those beneath; I am from those above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Pa sis nga fahkot mu kowos ac misa in ma koluk lowos. Kowos fin tia lulalfongi lah ‘Nga Nuna Nga Ah Na,’ kowos ac misa in ma koluk lowos.”
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.
25 Elos siyuk sel, “Su kom an?” Jesus el topuk, “Nuna mwet se na nga tuh fahk nu suwos ke mutawauk ah.
They said, therefore to him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Assuredly the same as I am telling you.
26 Yohk ma nga enenu in fahk nu suwos; yohk ma fal nga in nununkekowos kac. Tusruktu El su supweyume El pwayena, ac nga fahkak nu sin faclu ma na nga lohng sel mukena.”
I have many things to speak and to decide concerning you: but he that sent me is true; and the things which I have heard from him I speak to the world.
27 Elos tiana kalem kac lah Jesus el kaskas nu selos ke Papa.
They knew not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Ouinge el fahk nu selos, “Ke kowos ac srupusrak Wen nutin Mwet, kowos ac fah etu lah ‘Nga Nuna Nga Ah Na,’ ac kowos fah etu lah wangin ma nga oru ke ku luk sifacna, a nga fahk na ma Papa El fahk nu sik in fahk.
Then said Jesus to them, When ye shall have lifted up on high the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am, and of myself have I done nothing; but as the Father hath instructed me, so I speak.
29 Ac El su supweyume El wiyu. El tiana filiyuwi nga in mukena, mweyen pacl nukewa nga oru ma El insewowo kac.”
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; because I always do the things acceptable to him.
30 Mwet puspis su lohng ma Jesus el fahk inge elos lulafongel.
As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Ke ma inge Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet Jew su lulalfongel, “Kowos fin akos na luti luk, kowos mwet tumuk lutlut na pwaye.
Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye abide in my word, assuredly ye are my disciples;
32 Kowos fah etu ma pwaye, ac ma pwaye fah aksukosokye kowos.”
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 Elos topuk, “Kut mwet ke filin tulik natul Abraham, ac soenna oasr pacl kut mwet kohs lun kutena mwet. Efu kom ku fahk mu, ‘Kowos ac fahaksukosokyeyuk?’”
They answered him, We are Abraham’s seed, and never were in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, That we shall be made free?
34 Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu suwos: mwet nukewa su orekma koluk, elos mwet kohs nu ke ma koluk.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, That every one who committeth sin is the slave of sin.
35 Sie mwet kohs el ac tia ma lun sou se nwe tok, a sie wen el ma na nutin sou sacn nwe tok. (aiōn g165)
But the slave abideth not in the family for ever: but the son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Ac Wen el fin aksukoskyekowosla, na kowos ac fah sukosokla na pwaye.
If the Son therefore make you free, ye will be truly free.
37 Nga etu lah kowos filin tulik natul Abraham. Ne ouinge, a kowos srike in uniyuwi, mweyen kowos tia lungse eis mwe luti luk uh.
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
38 Nga kaskas ke ma Papa tumuk El akkalemye nu sik, a kowos oru ma papa tomowos fahk nu suwos.”
I speak what I have seen with my Father: and ye do therefore what ye have seen with your father.
39 Elos topkol ac fahk, “Papa tumasr pa Abraham.” Jesus el topkolos ac fahk, “Kowos fin tulik natul Abraham na pwaye, kowos ac oru oana ma el tuh oru ah.
They answered and said unto him, Our Father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would have done the works of Abraham.
40 Ma nga oru uh pa in fahk nu suwos ma pwaye su nga lohng sin God. Ne ouinge a kowos suk in uniyuwi. Abraham el tiana oru kain ingan!
But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God. Abraham did not so.
41 Ma na papa tomowos el tuh oru pa kowos oru.” Elos topuk, “Kut tia temti. Papa sefanna tumasr, pa God.”
Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We are not born of whoredom; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Fin pwaye lah God El Papa tomowos, kowos lukun lungse nga, mweyen nga tuku yurin God me, ac inge nga oasr yuruwos. Nga tia tuku ke ku luk sifacna, a El supweyume.
Then said Jesus unto them, If God was your Father, ye would have loved me: for I came out from God, and I am coming; neither indeed came I of myself, but he hath sent me.
43 Efu ku kowos tia kalem ke ma nga fahk uh? Mweyen na kowos tia lungse lohng fahkak luk.
Wherefore do ye not understand my speech? because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Kowos tulik nutin papa tomowos, Devil, ac kowos kena ukwe ma lungse lun papa tomowos an. Oe ke mutawauk ah me, el nuna mwet akmas se ac tia wi layen ma suwohs uh, mweyen wangin ma pwaye in el. Pacl el kikiap uh el oru na fal nu ke elah lal, mweyen el mwet kikiap se, ac el papa tumun kikiap nukewa.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will practise. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not fast in the truth, because truth was not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh what is peculiarly his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 A ma nga fahk uh ma pwaye, pa pwanang kowos tia lulalfongiyu.
But because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Su suwos ku in akpwayei lah oasr mwetik ke ma koluk? Nga fin fahkak ma pwaye uh, efu kowos ku tia lulalfongiyu?
Which of you can convict me of sin? Now if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 El su tuku sin God me el porongo kas lun God. A kowos tia ma sin God me, pa pwanang kowos ac tia porongo uh.”
He that is of God heareth the words of God: ye therefore do not hear him, because ye are not of God.
48 Elos siyuk sin Jesus, “Ya tia pwaye ke kut fahk mu kom mwet Samaria se, ac oasr demon in kom?”
Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Do we not rightly affirm, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus el topuk, “Wangin demon yuruk. Nga akfulatye Papa tumuk, a kowos akpusiselyeyu.
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
50 Nga tia suk mwet uh in akfulatyeyu. Tusruktu oasr sie su suk in akfulatyeyuk nga, ac nununku lal suwohs ac insese nu sik.
But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any man observe my saying, he shall never see death to all eternity. (aiōn g165)
52 Elos fahk nu sel, “Inge kut etu suwohs lah oasr demon se yurum! Abraham el misa, ac mwet palu elos misa, a kom fahk mu kutena mwet su akos luti lom fah tiana misa. (aiōn g165)
Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any man observe my word, he shall never taste of death to eternity. (aiōn g165)
53 Abraham, papa tumasr, el misa. Ya kom fahk mu kom fulat lukel Abraham? Ac mwet palu elos misa pac. Ku kom nunku mu su kom an?”
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus el topuk, “Nga fin sifacna akfulatyeyu, na akfulat sacn ac wanginna sripa. Papa tumuk pa akfulatyeyu — El na su kowos fahk mu El God lowos.
Jesus answered, If I assume glory to myself, my glory is nothing: it is the Father who glorifies me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Kowos tiana etal, tusruktu nga etal. Nga fin fahk mu nga tia etal, nga ac mwet kikiap se oana kowos. A nga etal, ac nga akos kas lal.
yet have ye not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, that I know him not, I should be like you, a liar: but I know him, and observe his word.
56 Abraham, papa tomowos, el tuh insewowo lah el ac ku in liye pacl in tuku luk. El tuh liye ac el enganak kac.”
Your father Abraham exulted for joy that he should see this day of mine: and saw it, and rejoiced.
57 Elos fahk nu sel, “Kom soenna sun yac lumngaul — ac fuka tuh kom liyal Abraham?”
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou hast not yet reached the age of fifty, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus el topkolos, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu suwos: meet liki Abraham el tuh isusla ah, ‘Nga Nuna Nga Ah Na.’”
Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham had a being, I Am.
59 Na elos tou eot in tanglal, tusruku Jesus el imla ac som liki Tempul.
Then took they up stones to hurl at him: but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, passing through the midst of them, and so went away.
