Jaona 8
1 Nomb’am-bohi’ Oliva mb’eo t’Iesoà.
Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Le nañaleñaleñe te nibalike mb’ añ’anjomban’ Añahare mb’eo, naho nihimpok’ ama’e i màroy vaho niambesatse re nañoke.
At dawn, however, he came back to the Temple, where the people came to him in crowds. He had taken his seat and was teaching them,
3 Nasese’ o mpanoki-dilio naho o Fariseoo ama’e ty rakemba nivamba, aa ie najarodo’ iereo añivo’ ondatio,
when the Scribes and Pharisees had brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They made her stand in the middle of the court, and said to him.
4 le hoe iareo tama’e: O Talè, tsinepake ty rakemba toy amy t’ie nivamba.
"Rabbi, this woman has been found in the very act of adultery.
5 Toe nandily antika amy Hake ao t’i Mosè t’ie ifetsaham-bato; ino mb-arè ty asa’o?
"Now Moses, in the Law, has commanded us to stone such creatures. But you, what do you say?"
6 Nanoe’ iereo izay hitsoke aze, hamente ty hanesehañe aze. F’ie nibotreke t’Iesoà, nanokitsokitse an-drambom-pità’e an-tane eo,
(This they said to tempt him, so that they could bring a charge against him.)
7 Aa ie nimane ontane ama’e iareo, le niongake naho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ty tsy aman-tahiñe ama’areo, ee t’ie ty hametsa-bato aolo.
But Jesus stooped down, and began to write on the ground with his finger. When they continued to question him, he raised himself and said to them, "Let the innocent man among you be the first to throw the stone at her."
8 Niondreke indraike re, nanokitse an-tane eo
Then he stooped down again, and again began to write on the ground.
9 O nahajanjiñeo, ninankañe kiraikiraike, o zoke’eo aolo ampara’ t’ie vahiny le i rakembay ro añivo eo.
When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus was left behind alone - and the woman in the middle of the court.
10 Niongake t’Iesoà, le nanoa’e ty hoe: O Rakemba, aia ho o nanesek’ azo’o? Tsy eo hao ty namàtse azo?
Then Jesus raised himself up and said to her. "Woman, where are they? Has no man condemn you,"
11 Leo raike, Talè, hoe re. Le hoe t’Iesoà ama’e: Izaho ka tsy hañozoñ’ azo, akia, ko mandilatse ka.
"No one, Sir," she answered. "Neither do I condemned you," said Jesus. "Go, and never sin again."
12 Tinovo’ Iesoà am’iereo ty hoe: Failo’ ty voatse toy iraho; tsy hañavelo añ’ ieñe ao ze mañorike ahy, fa ho an-kazavàn-kaveloñe.
Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the light of the world," he said; "He who follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the Light of life."
13 Aa hoe ty lie’ o Fariseoo aze: Ho nitò aia o talili’oo kanao mitalily vatañe.
Then said the Pharisees to him. "You are bearing testimony to yourself; your testimony is not true."
14 Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Ndra te mitalily vatan-dRaho, to i talilikoy; amy te fantako ty nihirifako naho ty hombako; fe tsy fohi’ areo ty niboahako ndra ty hionjonako.
In reply Jesus said to them. "Even if I do bear testimony to concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from, or where I am going.
15 O nofotseo ro fizaka’areo; Izaho tsy mizaka ndra iaia.
"For you are judging according to the flesh. I am judging no man.
16 Fe ndra t’ie mizaka, to ty fizakako; amy te tsy izaho avao, fa izaho naho i Rae nañitrik’ ahiy.
"Though even if I do judge, my judgment is trustworthy, because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.
17 Toe pinatetse amy Hà’areoy te to taroñe t’indaty roe.
"And in your Law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Izaho mitalily vatañey, ty raike, mitalily ahy ka i Raeko nañirak’ ahiy.
"I am one who gives testimony concerning myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony concerning me."
19 Aa le hoe iareo tama’e: Aia v’o Rae’oo? Tinoi’ Iesoà: Tsy mahafohiñ’ ahy ndra i Raeko nahareo; naho napota’ areo iraho le ho nahafohiñe an-dRaeko ka.
"Where is your Father?" they asked him. "You have neither known me nor my Father," answered Jesus. "If you had known me, you would have known my father also."
20 Sinaontsi’ Iesoà amy fanontonan-dralay i hoe zay, ie nañoke añ’ anjomban’ Añahare ao; le tsy teo ty nipao tañañ’ ama’e; amy te mboe tsy nitsatoke ty ora’e.
He said these words in the Treasury, while he was teaching in the Temple; yet no one arrested him, because his hour was not yet come.
21 Le hoe ty natovo’ Iesoà am’iereo: Hienga iraho, ho paiae’ areo fe hivetrak’ amo hakeo’ areo. Tsy lefe’ areo hombañe i hombakoy.
Then again he said them. "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I am going, you cannot come."
22 Le hoe ty asa’ o Tehodao: Hera hamoe’ fain-dre? Ie manao ty hoe: Ze hombako tsy ho lefe’ areo hombañe.
Then the Jews said. "He will not kill himself, will he? Is that why he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?"
23 Aa le hoe re tam’ iereo: Hirik’ ambane ao nahareo; boak’ ambone iraho. Ami’ty voatse toy nahareo; fe tsy ami’ty voatse toy iraho.
And he said to them. "You are from below. I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.
24 Aa le hoe ty nitaroñako, t’ie hikoromak’ amo hakeo’ areoo, fa naho tsy atokisa’ areo t’Ie Raho, le hihomake an-tahi’ areo.
"That is why I said that you would die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
25 Le hoe iareo tama’e: Ia v’Iheo? Hoe ty nanoa’ Iesoà: I nitaroñako am-baloha’ey.
"Who are you?" then they asked him. "What I am telling you from the beginning," Jesus answered.
26 Mbe bey ty ho nitaroñako naho ty hizakako, fe to i nañirak’ Ahiy; le taroñeko ami’ty voatse toy o itsanoñakoo.
"I have many things to say and to judge concerning you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world only those things which I have heard from him."
27 Tsy napota’ iereo t’ie nisaontsy i Rae.
They did not understand that he meant the Father,
28 Aa le hoe ty nanoa’ Iesoà: Ie aonjo’ areo i Ana’ ondatiy, le ho fohi’ areo te ie iraho, le tsy eo ty anoeko an-tsatriko, fa ze ampandrendrehen-dRaeko ahy, izay o volañekoo.
so Jesus added. "When you lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am He; and that I do nothing on my own authority, but that I speak just as the Father has taught me,
29 Toe amako i nañitrik’ Ahiy, le tsy apo’e hiziozio iraho, amy te nainai’e fanoeko o raha tea’eo.
"and he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I do always the things that please him."
30 Ie nisaontsy izay, le maro ty niantok’ aze.
When he spoke in this way, many of the Jews believed in him.
31 Aa le hoe t’Iesoà tamo Jiosy mpiato ama’eo: Naho mitoloñe amo fivolakoo nahareo, le toe mpiamako;
So Jesus spoke to the Jews that believed him, saying. "If you abide in my teaching, you are my true disciples;
32 le ho fohi’ areo ty hatò vaho ho hahà’ ty hatò.
"and you shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
33 Hoe ty natoi’ iareo aze: Tarira’ i Abraàme zahay, le mbe lia’e tsy rinohi’ ondaty; Akore arè ty natao’o te, Ho hahañe nahareo?
"We are descendants of Abraham," they replied, "and have never been in slavery to any man. What do you mean by saying, ‘You shall become free’?"
34 Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Eka! to ty itaroñako te fonga ondevon-kakeo ze manao hakeo.
"In solemn truth I tell you," Jesus replied, "every one who commits sin is a slave
"Now the slave does not remain permanently in the household, but the son does remain. (aiōn g165)
36 Aa ie ihahà’ i Anakey, le ho vata’e votsotse.
"So then, if the Son shall set you free, you will be free indeed.
37 Apotako t’ie tiri’ i Abraàme; f’ie mipay ty hahavetrak’ ahy amy te tsy itoera’ o volakoo.
"I know you are Abraham’s descendants; but you are seeking to kill me, Because my teaching has no place in you.
38 Taroñeko o nitreako te nindre aman-dRaekoo; vaho anoe’ areo ze jinanji’ areo aman-drae’ areo.
"I am declaring what I have seen with the Father, and you are acting as you have learned from your father."
39 Tinoi’ iereo ty hoe: Rae’ay t’i Abraàme. Le hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Naho àna’ i Abraàme, anò o fitoloña’ i Abraàmeo;
"Abraham is our father," they answered. "If you are indeed Abraham’s children," said Jesus "do the deeds of Abraham.
40 f’ie henaneo, mipay hamono ahy—ondaty mitaron-kavantañañe ama’ areo, o tsinanoko aman’ Añahareo. Tsy nanao izay t’i Abraàme.
"But now you are seeking to kill me - a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do that.
41 Toe anoe’ areo ty satan-drae’ areo. Aa hoe iereo tama’e: Tsy anak’ amonton-jahay; raike ty Rae’ay, i Andrianañahare.
"You are doing the deeds of your father." "We were not born of adultery," they said; "we have one Father, God."
42 Hoe t’Iesoà am’ iereo: Aa naho Rae’ areo t’i Andrianañahare, le ho nikoko ahy, amy te i Andrianañahare ty niboahako naho ty nivotrahako atoy; le tsy ty satriko ty nipotirako atoy, fa ie ty nañitrike ahy.
Jesus said to them. "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and am now come from God. I did not come on my own authority, but God himself sent me.
43 Akore te tsy apota’ areo o rehakoo? toe tsy mahajanjiñe o volakoo nahareo.
"How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot listen to my message.
44 Ie mpiamy mpañinje rae’ areoy, vaho tea’ areo ty manao ze irìn-drae’ areo. Mpañoho-doza boak’ am-baloha’e re vaho tsy mijadoñe ami’ty hatò, amy t’ie tsy aman-katò ndra loli’e. Ie mivolam-bande, sata’e i fivola’ey, amy t’ie mpandañitse, toe raem-bande.
"You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a man-slayer from the very beginning; and he has no standing place in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he utters a lie, he speaks from his nature, for he is a liar and the father of lying.
45 Fe kanao mitaroñe ty hatò iraho, tsy iantofa’ areo.
"But as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.
46 Ia ama’ areo ty manisý hakeo amako; fa naho mitaroñe ty hatò, akore te tsy atokisa’ areo?
"Which one of you convicts me of sin? Why then, if I am speaking the truth, do you not believe me?
47 Mahajanjiñe o saontsin’ Añahareo ze aman’ Añahare, f’ie tsy mahajanjiñe amy te tsy aman’Añahare.
"He who is from God listens to God’s words. For this reason you do not listen, because you are not from God."
48 Aa hoe ty natoi’ o Tehodao aze: Tsy to hao ty asa’ay te nte Samaria irehe naho tokoen’ anga-draty?
In reply the Jews said to him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan, and you also have a demon?"
49 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Tsy aman-kokolampan-draho, fa miasy an-dRaeko, fe tsy iasia’areo.
"I do not have a demon," said Jesus, "but I am honoring my Father, and you are dishonoring me.
50 Tsy mipay engeñe ho ahy iraho, fe ao ty mitsoeke naho mizaka.
"Yet I am not seeking my own honor. There is One who is seeking it, and He is judge.
"In solemn truth I tell you that if any one obeys my teaching he shall never behold death." (aiōn g165)
52 Le hoe o Tehodao tama’e: Rendre’ay henaneo t’ie tokoen-draha. Nivilasy t’i Abraàme naho o mpitokio; le manao ty hoe irehe, Tsy hitsope-kavilasy ka ty mifahatse amo volakoo. (aiōn g165)
"Now we know that you have a demon," exclaimed the Jews. Abraham died, and so did the prophets; and yet you say, ‘If any man obeys my teaching he shall never taste death.’ (aiōn g165)
53 Ho bey te amy Abraàme rae’ay hao irehe, ie nihomake? nikoromake ka o mpitokio; aa le manao ho ia irehe?
"You are not greater than our father Abraham, are you? And he died, and the prophets died. Who are you making yourself out to be?"
54 Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Naho miasy vatan-draho le kòake i asikoy. Miasy ahy t’i Raeko, i atao’ areo ty hoe: Andrianañahare’ay.
"If I glorify myself." said Jesus, "my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifies me, and you say, ‘He is our God.’
55 Mbe’ mboe tsy fohi’ areo re, ie fohiko. Aa naho nataoko t’ie ninofiko, le ho nibodiake hambañ’ ama’ areo iraho. Toe fantako re vaho ambenako o tsara’eo.
"You are not acquainted with him; I know him. Were I to say, ‘I do not know him,’ I should be like you, a liar. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching.
56 Niankahake t’i Abraàme te nahaoniñe ty androko; niisa’e le niehake.
"Your father Abraham rejoiced that he should see my day; and he saw it and was glad."
57 Le hoe o Tehodao tama’e: Tsy limampolo taon-dRehe, aa vaho ho niisa’o t’i Abraàme?
"You are not yet fifty years old," said the Jews to him, "and you have seen Abraham?"
58 Hoe t’Iesoà tam’ iereo: Eka! to ty Itaroñako te, taolo te nisamake t’i Abraàme, Izaho ro.
"In solemn truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that before Abraham came into existence, I am."
59 Nandrambe vato amy zao iereo haretsak’ aze, fe nietake t’Iesoà, naho niavotse i anjomban’Añaharey.
Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the Temple.
