< Joon 8 >
1 Erah lih adi mirep neng nok ni wangta, eno Jisu ah Olip Kong ni wangta.
But Jesus continued on to the Mount of Olives.
2 Erah saalih adi rangkhano di heh Rangteenook ni ngaakwangta. Mih loongtang ih heh ah kooktong rum kano, chooktong ano phang nyootsoot rumta.
And early in the morning, he went again to the temple; and all the people came to him. And sitting down, he taught them.
3 Hootthe nyootsootte loong nyia Pharisi loong ih minuh nusiit mih damdi roomjup arah nopsiit wanrum haano, neng loong ngathong ni chap thuk rumta.
Now the scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman caught in adultery, and they stood her in front of them.
4 [Nyootte[ neng loong ah ih Jisu suh baat rumta, [arah nuh ah mih damdi roomjup arah japjoot dowa.
And they said to him: “Teacher, this woman was just now caught in adultery.
5 Seng Hootthe ni Moses ih baatta erah likhiik minuh ah jong ih tekpat theng. Emah ang abah, an ih mamah li uh?]
And in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such a one. Therefore, what do you say?”
6 Neng loong ah ih erah Jisu ah mat ih joot suh li rumta, jen deejoot esuh ngeh ah. Enoothong Jisu ah ngupbon ano heh laktiik ih hani raangta.
But they were saying this to test him, so that they might be able to accuse him. Then Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the earth.
7 Erah di chap rum ano Jisu suh chengroh ih rumta, eno toonchap ano neng loong asuh baat rumta, [Sen loong dung dowa amadi tuk ih rangdah lataat dah kan mina ah ih jaakhothoon erah nuh ah jong ih phang pat an.]
And then, when they persevered in questioning him, he stood upright and said to them, “Let whoever is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
8 Erah lih adi kotbon ano hani we raangta.
And bending down again, he wrote on the earth.
9 Erah chaat rum ano, neng loong ah, wasiit wasiit eh, doksoon rumta, mihakthoon ah jaakhoh doksoonta, eno Jisu heh luulu thiinhaat rumta doh minuh ah heh reeni chaproh eta.
But upon hearing this, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, with the woman standing in front of him.
10 Jisu ah toonchap ano erah nuh asuh liita, [Maako ih rumla? An dut haatte o bah uh daktong tam ela?]
Then Jesus, raising himself up, said to her: “Woman, where are those who accused you? Has no one condemned you?”
11 [Wasiit uh amuh, chuupha,” minuh ah ih ngaakbaatta. “Ese, emah ang abah ah,” Jisu ih ngaak liita, “Ngah ih uh tah dut haatra. Kah uh, enoothong nak kah dah uh.”]
And she said, “No one, Lord.” Then Jesus said: “Neither will I condemn you. Go, and now do not choose to sin anymore.”
12 Pharisi loong ah damdi Jisu we roongwaanta. [Mongrep raang ih ngah ah weephaak,” Jisu ih liita. [O mina ih nga lih phanhang heh jiinnah roidong weephaak ah je ah eno heh mabah uh laamang nah takhoomka.]
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
13 Pharisi loong ah ih Jisu suh li rumta, [Amadi an ih an teeteewah tiit baat hu; an jenglu jun ih tiim uh tadong jatthuk ri.]
And so the Pharisees said to him, “You offer testimony about yourself; your testimony is not true.”
14 “Emah tah angka” Jisu ih ngaakli rumta, [ngah ih nga teewah tiit baat ang bah uh, ngah ih tiimjih baat hang erah amiisak tiit, tiimnge liidi ngah ih jat ehang ngah manawa ra halang nyia manah wang ang. Sen loong ih tajatkan ngah manawa ra halang nyia manah wang ang.
Jesus responded and said to them: “Even though I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going.
15 Sen ih mina hansi jun ih dande han; ngah ih bah o uh tadande kang.
You judge according to the flesh. I do not judge anyone.
16 Enoothong ngah ih emah mok ih thengtang bah, ngah ih dande hang ah epun ang thengta, tiimnge liidi adi nga luulu tah angkang; nga daapkaatte seng Wah nga damdi.
And when I do judge, my judgment is true. For I am not alone, but it is I and he who sent me: the Father.
17 Sen hootthe ni raangha haaki wanyi ah thungsiit doh jut abah, nengnyi ih tiim li ah erah ami ang ah.
And it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Ngah ih nga teewah tiit ah baat hang, eno nga daapkaatte seng Wah ih uh nga tiit baat ah.]
I am one who offers testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me offers testimony about me.”
19 [An Wah mani ah?] Pharisi loong ah ih Jisu suh cheng rumta. [Sen loong ah ih seng Wah tajatkan ngah uh tajatri.] Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta. [Sen loong ah ih ngah jat he bah seng Wah uh jat etheng tan.]
Therefore, they said to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.”
20 Arah jengkhaap ah Jisu ngunthiin theng nokkhok adi jengta, erah tokdi heh ih Rangteenook ni nyootsoot rumta. Eno heh jootkhak saapoot ah maangchang ang kano, o ih uh tajokhakta.
Jesus spoke these words at the treasury, while teaching in the temple. And no one apprehended him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 Jisu ih neng loong asuh we liirumta, [Ngah dokkhoom ih ang; sen ih ngah jamboi ehe, eno sen loong ah rangdah nah ti an. Ngah wanglang adoh sen tami wangkan.]
Therefore, Jesus again spoke to them: “I am going, and you shall seek me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to go.”
22 Erah raangtaan ih Jehudi ngoong awang loong ah ih liita, [Jisu ih liiha heh wangla adoh seng tami wangke. Heh teeteewah tek haat tiit tambaat ha?]
And so the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself, for he said: ‘Where I am going, you are not able to go?’”
23 Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Sen loong ah arah mongrep khui nawa, eno ngah ah rangkhoh nawa raahang rah. Sen loong arah mongrep nawa, enoothong ngah arah mongrep nawa tah angkang.
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 Erah raangtaan ih baatrum taha sen loong ah sen rangdah nah matti an. Sen loong ah ih ‘Ngah liiha ah Ngah,’” ah lahanpi kanbah sen rangdah nah matti an.
Therefore, I said to you, that you will die in your sins. For if you will not believe that I am, you will die in your sin.”
25 [An o ah?] Neng ih Jisu suh cheng rumta. Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Phangbaat tang dowa ih tiim baat rumhala erah ju.
And so they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them: “The Beginning, who is also speaking to you.
26 Sen suh ngah ih li theng rapne je ah, dut haat etheng uh eje. Enoothong ngah o ih daapkaat halang, heh juuba ami ah, eno heh jiin nawa tiim chaat hang erah juuba mongrep dowa mina loong asuh baat hang.]
I have much to say about you and to judge. But he who sent me is true. And what I have heard from him, this I speak within the world.”
27 Jisu ih Hewah tiit neng damdi roongwaanta ah tajat rumta.
And they did not realize that he was calling God his Father.
28 Erah raangtaan ih neng suh liita, “Mina Sah ah choomjoh andoh jat an, ‘Ngah liiha ah Ngah’ eno sen ih erah doh jat an nga chaan nawa ih tiim uh tare kang, seng Wah ih tiimjeng baat halang erah ba jeng lang.
And so Jesus said to them: “When you will have lifted up the Son of man, then you shall realize that I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but just as the Father has taught me, so do I speak.
29 Eno ngah o ih daapkaat halang heh ah nga damdi; nga luulu heh ih tathiinhaat rang, tiimnge liidi ngah ih saarookwet heh tenroon theng reelang.]
And he who sent me is with me, and he has not abandoned me alone. For I always do what is pleasing to him.”
30 Jisu erah jengta ah japchaat rum ano miloong ah ih hanpi erumta.
As he was speaking these things, many believed in him.
31 Eno Jisu ih heh suh hanpiite loong asuh baat rumta, [Nga ih nyoot rumhala ah kap anbah, sen loong ah amiisak nga liphante ang an;
Therefore, Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him: “If you will abide in my word, you will truly be my disciples.
32 sen loong ah ih ami tiit ah ejat ete, eno amiisak rah ih sen loong ah doksiit ehan.]
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
33 [Seng loong abah Abraham sutom,” neng loong ah ih ngaakbaat rumta, [eno seng loong ah mabah uh o dah uh tataat angke. Eno sen loong ah doksiit ehan ngeh ih jenglu ah tiimjih suh liihu?]
They answered him: “We are the offspring of Abraham, and we have never been a slave to anyone. How can you say, ‘You shall be set free?’”
34 Jisu ih neng loong asuh baat rumta, [ngah ih sen loong asuh amiisak ih baat rumhala: O mina rangdah reeraangla erah mih ah rangdah suh heh dah ang ah.
Jesus answered them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
35 Dah ah changtom nah roitang raang ih tah angka, enoothong heh sah ah ba roitang raang ih ang ah. (aiōn )
Now the slave does not abide in the house for eternity. Yet the Son does abide in eternity. (aiōn )
36 Hesah rah ih maama pongwan toom ang ah ngeh li abah amiimiisak sen loong ah maama pongwan ejen ang ethuk han.
Therefore, if the Son has set you free, then you will truly be free.
37 Ngah ih jat ih rumhala sen loong ah Abraham sutoom. Rah bah uh sen ih nga tek haat chung han, tiimnge liidi ngah ih nyoot rumhala ah sen ih tabaam kap kan.
I know that you are sons of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word has not taken hold in you.
38 Seng Wah ih tiim noisok halang erah baat rumhala, enoothong sen suh sen wah ih marah baat halan ah re lan.]
I speak what I have seen with my Father. And you do what you have seen with your father.”
39 Neng ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Seng loong wah ah bah Abraham.] Jisu ih ngaakli rumta, [Sen loong ah Abraham suh asah angtan bah,” [sen loong ah heh reeta likhiik ih reetheng; tan.
They responded and said to him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them: “If you are the sons of Abraham, then do the works of Abraham.
40 Ngah ih bah seng Rangte jiin nawa chaat hang amiisak tiit ah ba baat hang, erabah uh sen loong ah ih nga tek haat chunghan. Abraham bah amah tareeta!
But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.
41 Sen bah sen wah mamah reeraangta erah likhiik ih re lan.] [Rangte heteewah luulu bah seng loong Wah,” miloong ah ih ngaakli rumta, [eno seng loong ah heh sah mi.]
You do the works of your father.” Therefore, they said to him: “We were not born out of fornication. We have one father: God.”
42 Jisu ih baat rumta, [Rangte ah sen loong Wah angta bah ngah enook etheng tahe, tiimnge liidi ngah Rangte taangnawa ra halang. Nga chaan nawa ih ngah tara tahang, ngah bah heh ih daapkaat tahang.
Then Jesus said to them: “If God were your father, certainly you would love me. For I proceeded and came from God. For I did not come from myself, but he sent me.
43 Ngah ih tiimbaat rumhala erah mamah lajat ehan? Erah langla sen ih nga tiitkhaap ah lanook chaat thoidi angla.
Why do you not recognize my speech? It is because you are not able to hear my word.
44 Sen loong abah sen wah Hakhoh juubaan suh asah, eno sen loong ah sen wah tenthun jun di reeraang lan. Ephang dowa ih dook heh mitek haatte eno amiitiit ah mabah uh takapka, tiimnge liidi heh jiinni amiitiit ah amuh. Heh ih tiit hu baat ha langla, heh banlam mootkaat, tiimnge liidi heh ah ju ehuh eleek thoon nyia ehuh eleek thoontang waroop ah ju heh.
You are of your father, the devil. And you will carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning. And he did not stand in the truth, because the truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks it from his own self. For he is a liar, and the father of lies.
45 Enoothong ngah ih amiitiit ah baat rumhala, erah thoidi sen ih tahanpi ri.
But if I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Sen loong dung dowa ih ngah rangdah mih ngeh ih o ih jen noisok an? Ngah ih amiitiit ah baat rumhala bah, mamah lahanpi ehali?
Which of you can convict me of sin? If I speak the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
47 O Rangte reenawa ra hala heh ih Rangte jengkhaap ah boichaat ih ah. Enoothong, sen loong ah Rangte reenawa lah ang thoidi, taboichaat kan ang ah.”
Whoever is of God, hears the words of God. For this reason, you do not hear them: because you are not of God.”
48 Neng loong ah ih Jisu suh chengta, [Seng ih liihi an chiithih laakhah pan Samariate, epunjeng tam eli?]
Therefore, the Jews responded and said to him, “Are we not correct in saying that you are a Samaritan, and that you have a demon?”
49 [Ngah jiinni chiithih laakhah tajeeka, Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Ngah ih seng Wah choomjoh hang, enoothong sen ih ngah tachoom jori.
Jesus responded: “I do not have a demon. But I honor my Father, and you have dishonored me.
50 Nga rangka ah nga raang ih tajam kang. Enoothong erah rangka jamte ah wahoh eje eno heh ih nga mendoh dande ah.
But I am not seeking my own glory. There is One who seeks and judges.
51 Ngah ih ami baat rumhala; ngah ih nyootsoot hang ah o minah ih kap ah erabah mabah uh tatiika.] (aiōn )
Amen, amen, I say to you, if anyone will have kept my word, he will not see death for eternity.” (aiōn )
52 Jehudi loong ah ih Jisu suh li rumta, [Seng ih jat ehi an chiithih laakhah pan! Abraham tek eta, Khowah loong uh tek eta, erabah uh an ih liihu an ih nyootsoot hu boichaatte ah mabah uh tatiika. (aiōn )
Therefore, the Jews said: “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets; and yet you say, ‘If anyone will have kept my word, he shall not taste death for eternity.’ (aiōn )
53 Seng loong wah Abraham bah tek eta; ngah Abraham nang ih elong ngeh ih nih li hu, emah tam thun hu? Eno khowah loong uh tek eta. Anteewah suh tiimjih samthun hu?]
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. So who do you make yourself to be?”
54 Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Ngah ih nga teewah mok choomjotang bah, erah choomchotang ah thaangmuh ang thengta. Nga choomjootte wasiit abah seng Wah—sen ih Rangte ngeh li han rah ah.
Jesus responded: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me. And you say about him that he is your God.
55 Sen ih mabah uh tathaak jatkan, ngah ih ba jat hang. Ngah ih tajatkang ngeh mok liitang bah sen likhiik ehuh eleek angtheng tang. Enoothong ngah ih jat ih angno, heh jengkhaap ah kap hang.
And yet you have not known him. But I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, then I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.
56 Sen loong wah Abraham bah nga kaat saapoot ah japtup suh eroon eta; eno heh ih japtup eta nyia eroon eta.]
Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it and was glad.”
57 Neng ih Jisu suh li rumta, [an amadi paangrook bangnga bot maang ang ko—eno Abraham japtup eto oh?
And so the Jews said to him, “You have not yet reached fifty years, and you have seen Abraham?”
58 “Ngah ih amiisak baat rumhala,” Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, “Abraham maang potsom di dook, ‘Ngah eje Angtang.”
Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.”
59 Eno erah li kano heh patsuh jong toonpi rumta, enoothong Jisu Rangteenook dowa hotsoon eta.
Therefore, they took up stones to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and he departed from the temple.
