Iohannem 8
1 Iesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti:
But Jesus went to the mount of Olives;
2 et diluculo iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus venit ad eum, et sedens docebat eos.
and returned early in the morning into the temple, and all the people came to Him: and He sat down, and taught them.
3 Adducunt autem Scribæ, et Pharisæi mulierem in adulterio deprehensam: et statuerunt eam in medio,
And the scribes and pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery;
4 et dixerunt ei: Magister, hæc mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio.
and setting her in the midst, they said to Him, "This woman was caught in the very act, committing adultery.
5 In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis huiusmodi lapidare. Tu ergo quid dicis?
Now Moses in the law has commanded us that such women should be stoned, but what sayest Thou?"
6 Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Iesus autem inclinans se deorsum, digito scribebat in terra.
This they said to tempt Him, that they might have something to accuse Him of. But Jesus stooping down, wrote with his finger upon the ground.
7 Cum ergo perseverarent interrogantes eum, erexit se, et dixit eis: Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in illam lapidem mittat.
And as they continued asking Him, He raised himself up and said unto them, "Let him that is without sin among you, first cast a stone at her."
8 Et iterum se inclinans, scribebat in terra.
Then He stooped down again and wrote on the ground.
9 Audientes autem unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus: et remansit solus Iesus, et mulier in medio stans.
But when they heard his answer, being convicted by their own conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at the elder, even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst of the people.
10 Erigens autem se Iesus, dixit ei: Mulier, ubi sunt, qui te accusabant? nemo te condemnavit?
Then Jesus rising up, and seeing none but the woman, said unto her, Where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 Quæ dixit: Nemo, Domine. Dixit autem Iesus: Nec ego te condemnabo: Vade, et iam amplius noli peccare.
And she said, None, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee, Go thy way and sin no more.
12 Iterum ergo locutus est eis Iesus, dicens: Ego sum lux mundi: qui sequitur me, non ambulat in tenebris, sed habebit lumen vitæ.
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 Dixerunt ergo ei Pharisæi: Tu de teipso testimonium perhibes: testimonium tuum non est verum.
The pharisees therefore said to Him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy testimony is not true.
14 Respondit Iesus, et dixit eis: Et si ego testimonium perhibeo de meipso, verum est testimonium meum: quia scio unde veni, et quo vado: vos autem nescitis unde venio, aut quo vado.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear witness of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I go.
15 Vos secundum carnem iudicatis: ego non iudico quemquam:
Ye judge according to the flesh, but I judge no man as yet:
16 et si iudico ego, iudicium meum verum est, quia solus non sum: sed ego, et qui misit me, Pater.
though if I should judge, my judgement is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father that sent me.
17 Et in lege vestra scriptum est, quia duorum hominum testimonium verum est.
And it is written in your own law, that the testimony of two persons is valid.
18 Ego sum, qui testimonium perhibeo de me ipso: et testimonium perhibet de me, qui misit me, Pater.
Now I am one, who bear witness of myself; and the Father, who sent me, beareth witness of me.
19 Dicebant ergo ei: Ubi est Pater tuus? Respondit Iesus: Neque me scitis, neque Patrem meum: si me sciretis, forsitan et Patrem meum sciretis.
Then said they unto 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 Hæc verba locutus est Iesus in gazophylacio, docens in templo: et nemo apprehendit eum, quia necdum venerat hora eius.
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, when He was teaching in the temple: and no one laid hands on Him, for his hour was not yet come.
21 Dixit ergo iterum eis Iesus: Ego vado, et quæretis me, et in peccato vestro moriemini. Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire.
Jesus therefore said unto them again, "I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: where I go ye cannot come."
22 Dicebant ergo Iudæi: Numquid interficiet semetipsum, quia dixit: Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire?
The Jews therefore said, What! will He kill himself; that He says, where I am going, ye cannot come?
23 Et dicebat eis: Vos de deorsum estis, ego de supernis sum. Vos de mundo hoc estis, ego non sum de hoc mundo.
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 Dixi ergo vobis quia moriemini in peccatis vestris: si enim non credideritis quia ego sum, moriemini in peccato vestro.
Therefore I said unto you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am the Messiah, ye shall die in your sins.
25 Dicebant ergo ei: Tu quis es? Dixit eis Iesus: Principium, qui et loquor vobis.
Then said they to Him, Who art thou? And Jesus answered them, Even the same that I told you at first.
26 Multa habeo de vobis loqui, et iudicare. sed qui me misit, verax est: et ego quæ audivi ab eo, hæc loquor in mundo.
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you: but I only say, He that sent me is true, and I declare to the world those things, which I have heard from Him.
27 Et non cognoverunt quia Patrem eius dicebat Deum.
But they did not know that He spake unto them of the Father.
28 Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Cum exaltaveritis Filium hominis, tunc cognoscetis quia ego sum, et a meipso facio nihil, sed sicut docuit me Pater, hæc loquor:
Jesus therefore said unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am He, and that I do nothing of myself, but as my Father hath instructed me, I speak these things.
29 et qui me misit, mecum est, et non reliquit me solum: quia ego quæ placita sunt ei, facio semper.
And He that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.
30 Hæc illo loquente, multi crediderunt in eum.
As He spake these words many believed on Him.
31 Dicebat ergo Iesus ad eos, qui crediderunt ei, Iudæos: Si vos manseritis in sermone meo, vere discipuli mei eritis:
Therefore said Jesus to the Jews that believed on Him, If ye continue in my word, ye are indeed my disciples.
32 et cognoscetis veritatem, et veritas liberabit vos.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 Responderunt ei: Semen Abrahæ sumus, et nemini servivimus umquam: quomodo tu dicis: Liberi eritis?
They answered Him, We are the seed of Abraham, and never were slaves to any one, how then dost thou say, Ye shall be made free?
34 Respondit eis Iesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: quia omnis, qui facit peccatum, servus est peccati.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily I say unto you, whosoever maketh a practice of sin, is the servant of sin.
Now the servant does not continue always in the family: but the Son abideth always. (aiōn g165)
36 si ergo vos filius liberaverit, vere liberi eritis.
If therefore the Son make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 Scio quia filii Abrahæ estis: sed quæritis me interficere, quia sermo meus non capit in vobis.
I know that ye are the seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 Ego quod vidi apud Patrem meum, loquor: et vos quæ vidistis apud patrem vestrum, facitis.
I speak that which I have seen with my Father, and ye do what ye have seen with your father.
39 Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Pater noster Abraham est. Dicit eis Iesus: Si filii Abrahæ estis, opera Abrahæ facite.
They answered Him, Abraham is our father, Jesus replied, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would do the works of Abraham:
40 Nunc autem quæritis me interficere, hominem, qui veritatem vobis locutus sum, quam audivi a Deo: hoc Abraham non fecit.
but now ye seek to kill me, who have told you the truth which I have heard from God: Abraham did not thus.
41 Vos facitis opera patris vestri. Dixerunt itaque ei: Nos ex fornicatione non sumus nati: unum patrem habemus Deum.
But ye do the works of your father. Then said they unto Him, We are not born of fornication, we have one Father, even God.
42 Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Si Deus pater vester esset: diligeretis utique et me. ego enim ex Deo processi, et veni: neque enim a me ipso veni, sed ille me misit.
Jesus said unto them, If God were your father, ye would love me: for I came forth, and do come, from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me.
43 Quare loquelam meam non cognoscitis? Quia non potestis audire sermonem meum.
And why do ye not understand my language, but because ye cannot bear my doctrine?
44 Vos ex patre diabolo estis: et desideria patris vestri vultis facere. ille homicida erat ab initio, et in veritate non stetit: quia non est veritas in eo: cum loquitur mendacium, ex propriis loquitur, quia mendax est, et pater eius.
Ye are of your father the devil, and are bent upon doing the lusts of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and continued not in the truth: for there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh like himself, for he is a liar, and the father of such.
45 Ego autem si veritatem dico, non creditis mihi.
And because I say the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convicteth me of sin?
46 Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? Si veritatem dico vobis, quare non creditis mihi?
And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 Qui ex Deo est, verba Dei audit. Propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis.
He, that is of God, receiveth the words of God; but ye therefore receive them not, because ye are not of God.
48 Responderunt ergo Iudæi, et dixerunt ei: Nonne bene dicimus nos quia Samaritanus es tu, et dæmonium habes?
The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him. Do we not rightly say, that thou art a Samaritan, and art possessed by a demon?
49 Respondit Iesus: Ego dæmonium non habeo: sed honorifico Patrem meum, et vos inhonorastis me.
Jesus answered I am not possessed by a demon, but I honour my Father, though ye dishonour me.
50 Ego autem non quæro gloriam meam: est qui quærat, et iudicet.
And I seek not my own glory; there is One that seeketh it, and judgeth.
51 Amen, amen dico vobis: si quis sermonem meum servaverit, mortem non videbit in æternum. (aiōn g165)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Dixerunt ergo Iudæi: Nunc cognovimus quia dæmonium habes. Abraham mortuus est, et Prophetæ: et tu dicis: Si quis sermonem meum servaverit, non gustabit mortem in æternum. (aiōn g165)
The Jews therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? (aiōn g165)
53 Numquid tu maior es patre nostro Abraham, qui mortuus est? et Prophetæ mortui sunt. Quem te ipsum facis?
and the prophets are dead: whom dost thou pretend to be?
54 Respondit Iesus: Si ego glorifico me ipsum, gloria mea nihil est: est Pater meus, qui glorificat me, quem vos dicitis quia Deus vester est,
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say that He is your God.
55 et non cognovistis eum: ego autem novi eum: Et si dixero quia non scio eum, ero similis vobis, mendax. Sed scio eum, et sermonem eius servo.
And yet ye know him not; but I know Him: and if I should say, That I know Him not, I shall be like you, a liar: but I know Him, and obey his word.
56 Abraham pater vester exultavit ut videret diem meum: vidit, et gavisus est.
Your father Abraham longed to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Dixerunt ergo Iudæi ad eum: Quinquaginta annos nondum habes, et Abraham vidisti?
Then said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Dixit eis Iesus: Amen, amen dico vobis, antequam Abraham fieret, ego sum.
Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Tulerunt ergo lapides, ut iacerent in eum: Iesus autem abscondit se, et exivit de templo.
Therefore they took up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus concealed Himself, and went out of the temple, through the midst of them, and so passed on.
