Iohannem 8
1 Jesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti:
And at dawn he came again to the temple,
2 et diluculo iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus venit ad eum, et sedens docebat eos.
and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
3 Adducunt autem scribæ et pharisæi mulierem in adulterio deprehensam: et statuerunt eam in medio,
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 et dixerunt ei: Magister, hæc mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio.
they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
5 In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis hujusmodi lapidare. Tu ergo quid dicis?
and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
6 Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Jesus autem inclinans se deorsum, digito scribebat in terra.
and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,
7 Cum ergo perseverarent interrogantes eum, erexit se, et dixit eis: Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in illam lapidem mittat.
and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;'
8 Et iterum se inclinans, scribebat in terra.
and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
9 Audientes autem unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus: et remansit solus Jesus, et mulier in medio stans.
and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 Erigens autem se Jesus, dixit ei: Mulier, ubi sunt qui te accusabant? nemo te condemnavit?
And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'
11 Quæ dixit: Nemo, Domine. Dixit autem Jesus: Nec ego te condemnabo: vade, et jam amplius noli peccare.
and she said, 'No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
12 Iterum ergo locutus est eis Jesus, dicens: Ego sum lux mundi: qui sequitur me, non ambulat in tenebris, sed habebit lumen vitæ.
Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'
13 Dixerunt ergo ei pharisæi: Tu de teipso testimonium perhibes; testimonium tuum non est verum.
The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
14 Respondit Jesus, 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 to them, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.
15 Vos secundum carnem judicatis: ego non judico quemquam;
'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
16 et si judico ego, judicium meum verum est, quia solus non sum: sed ego et qui misit me, Pater.
and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
17 Et in lege vestra scriptum est, quia duorum hominum testimonium verum est.
and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
18 Ego sum qui testimonium perhibeo de meipso, et testimonium perhibet de me qui misit me, Pater.
I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'
19 Dicebant ergo ei: Ubi est Pater tuus? Respondit Jesus: Neque me scitis, neque Patrem meum: si me sciretis, forsitan et Patrem meum sciretis.
They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'
20 Hæc verba locutus est Jesus in gazophylacio, docens in templo: et nemo apprehendit eum, quia necdum venerat hora ejus.
These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;
21 Dixit ergo iterum eis Jesus: Ego vado, et quæretis me, et in peccato vestro moriemini. Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire.
therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'
22 Dicebant ergo Judæi: Numquid interficiet semetipsum, quia dixit: Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire?
The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to 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 to 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.
I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.'
25 Dicebant ergo ei: Tu quis es? Dixit eis Jesus: Principium, qui et loquor vobis.
They said, therefore, to him, 'Thou — who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;
26 Multa habeo de vobis loqui, et judicare; sed qui me misit, verax est; et ego quæ audivi ab eo, hæc loquor in mundo.
many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.'
27 Et non cognoverunt quia Patrem ejus dicebat Deum.
They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
28 Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Cum exaltaveritis Filium hominis, tunc cognoscetis quia ego sum, et a meipso facio nihil, sed sicut docuit me Pater, hæc loquor:
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;
29 et qui me misit, mecum est, et non reliquit me solum: quia ego quæ placita sunt ei, facio semper.
and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'
30 Hæc illo loquente, multi crediderunt in eum.
As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
31 Dicebat ergo Jesus ad eos, qui crediderunt ei, Judæos: Si vos manseritis in sermone meo, vere discipuli mei eritis,
Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,
32 et cognoscetis veritatem, et veritas liberabit vos.
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, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?'
34 Respondit eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: quia omnis qui facit peccatum, servus est peccati.
Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,
and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; (aiōn g165)
36 Si ergo vos filius liberaverit, vere liberi eritis.
if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
37 Scio quia filii Abrahæ estis: sed quæritis me interficere, quia sermo meus non capit in vobis.
'I have known that ye are 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 — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.'
39 Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Pater noster Abraham est. Dicit eis Jesus: Si filii Abrahæ estis, opera Abrahæ facite.
They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;
40 Nunc autem quæritis me interficere, hominem, qui veritatem vobis locutus sum, quam audivi a Deo: hoc Abraham non fecit.
and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;
41 Vos facitis opera patris vestri. Dixerunt itaque ei: Nos ex fornicatione non sumus nati: unum patrem habemus Deum.
ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;'
42 Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Si Deus pater vester esset, diligeretis utique et me; ego enim ex Deo processi, et veni: neque enim a meipso veni, sed ille me misit.
Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;
43 Quare loquelam meam non cognoscitis? Quia non potestis audire sermonem meum.
wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
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 ejus.
'Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.
45 Ego autem si veritatem dico, non creditis mihi.
'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? si veritatem dico vobis, quare non creditis mihi?
Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?
47 Qui ex Deo est, verba Dei audit. Propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis.
he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'
48 Responderunt ergo Judæi, et dixerunt ei: Nonne bene dicimus nos quia Samaritanus es tu, et dæmonium habes?
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
49 Respondit Jesus: Ego dæmonium non habeo: sed honorifico Patrem meum, et vos inhonorastis me.
Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;
50 Ego autem non quæro gloriam meam: est qui quærat, et judicet.
and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
51 Amen, amen dico vobis: si quis sermonem meum servaverit, mortem non videbit in æternum. (aiōn g165)
verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' (aiōn g165)
52 Dixerunt ergo Judæi: 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 to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age! (aiōn g165)
53 Numquid tu major es patre nostro Abraham, qui mortuus est? et prophetæ mortui sunt. Quem teipsum facis?
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'
54 Respondit Jesus: Si ego glorifico meipsum, gloria mea nihil est: est Pater meus, qui glorificat me, quem vos dicitis quia Deus vester est,
Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying 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 ejus servo.
and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;
56 Abraham pater vester exsultavit ut videret diem meum: vidit, et gavisus est.
Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
57 Dixerunt ergo Judæi ad eum: Quinquaginta annos nondum habes, et Abraham vidisti?
The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'
58 Dixit eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis, antequam Abraham fieret, ego sum.
Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;'
59 Tulerunt ergo lapides, ut jacerent in eum: Jesus autem abscondit se, et exivit de templo.
they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
