Joon 8
1 Erah lih adi mirep neng nok ni wangta, eno Jisu ah Olip Kong ni wangta.
except Jesus, who went 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.
But he went again into the Temple Courts early in the morning, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and 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.
Presently, however, the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placed her in the middle of the Court,
4 [Nyootte[ neng loong ah ih Jisu suh baat rumta, [arah nuh ah mih damdi roomjup arah japjoot dowa.
and said to Jesus: “Teacher, this woman was found in the very act of adultery.
5 Seng Hootthe ni Moses ih baatta erah likhiik minuh ah jong ih tekpat theng. Emah ang abah, an ih mamah li uh?]
Now Moses, in the Law, commanded us to stone such women to death; 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.
They said this to test him, in order to have a charge to bring against him. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
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.]
However, as they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said: “Let the person among you who has never done wrong throw the first stone at her.”
8 Erah lih adi kotbon ano hani we raangta.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
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.
When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest; and Jesus was left alone with the woman in the middle of the Court.
10 Jisu ah toonchap ano erah nuh asuh liita, [Maako ih rumla? An dut haatte o bah uh daktong tam ela?]
Raising himself, Jesus said to her: “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn 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.”]
“No one, Sir,” she answered. “Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus “go, and do not sin again.”
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.]
Jesus again addressed the people. “I am the Light of the World,” he said. “He who follows me shall 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.]
“You are bearing testimony to yourself!” exclaimed the Pharisees, “your testimony is not trustworthy.”
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.
“Even if I bear testimony to myself,” answered Jesus, “my testimony is trustworthy; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, nor where I am going.
15 Sen ih mina hansi jun ih dande han; ngah ih bah o uh tadande kang.
You judge by appearances; I judge no one.
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.
Yet, even if I were to judge, my judgment would be trustworthy; because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.
17 Sen hootthe ni raangha haaki wanyi ah thungsiit doh jut abah, nengnyi ih tiim li ah erah ami ang ah.
Why, in your own Law it is said that the testimony of two persons is trustworthy.
18 Ngah ih nga teewah tiit ah baat hang, eno nga daapkaatte seng Wah ih uh nga tiit baat ah.]
I, who bear testimony to myself, am one, and the Father who sent me also bears testimony to 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.]
“Where is your father, then?” they asked. “You know neither me nor my Father,” replied Jesus. “If you had known me, you would have also known my Father.”
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.
These statements Jesus made in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple Courts. Yet no one arrested him, for his time had not then 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.]
Jesus again spoke to the people. “I am going away,” he said, “and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin; you cannot come where I am going.”
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?]
“Is he going to kill himself,” the Jews exclaimed, “that he says — ‘You cannot go where I am going’?”
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.
“You,” added Jesus, “are from below, I am from above; you are of this present world, I am not;
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.
and so I told you that you would die in your sins, for, unless you believe that I am what I am, you will die in your sins.”
25 [An o ah?] Neng ih Jisu suh cheng rumta. Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Phangbaat tang dowa ih tiim baat rumhala erah ju.
“Who are you?” they asked. “Why ask exactly what I have been telling you?” said Jesus.
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 still much that concerns you to speak of and to pass judgment on; yet he who sent me may be trusted, and I speak to the world only of the things which I have heard from him.”
27 Jisu ih Hewah tiit neng damdi roongwaanta ah tajat rumta.
They did not understand that he meant the 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.
So Jesus added: “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will understand that I am what I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but that I say just what the Father has taught me.
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.]
Moreover, he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; for I always do what pleases him.”
30 Jisu erah jengta ah japchaat rum ano miloong ah ih hanpi erumta.
While he was speaking in this way, many came to believe 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;
So Jesus went on to say to those Jews who had believed him: “If you remain constant to my Message, you are truly my disciples;
32 sen loong ah ih ami tiit ah ejat ete, eno amiisak rah ih sen loong ah doksiit ehan.]
and you find out the Truth, and the Truth will 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?]
“We are descendants of Abraham,” was their answer, “and have never yet been in slavery to any one. What do you mean by saying ‘you will 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.
“In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “every one who sins is a slave to sin.
35 Dah ah changtom nah roitang raang ih tah angka, enoothong heh sah ah ba roitang raang ih ang ah. (aiōn g165)
And a slave does not remain in the home always; but a son remains always. (aiōn g165)
36 Hesah rah ih maama pongwan toom ang ah ngeh li abah amiimiisak sen loong ah maama pongwan ejen ang ethuk han.
If, then, the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!
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 descendants of Abraham; yet you are seeking to put me to death, because my Message finds no place in your hearts.
38 Seng Wah ih tiim noisok halang erah baat rumhala, enoothong sen suh sen wah ih marah baat halan ah re lan.]
I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learned from 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.
“Our father is Abraham,” was their answer. “If you are Abraham’s children,” replied Jesus, “do what Abraham did.
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, as it is, you are seeking to put me to death — a man who has told you the Truth as he heard it from God. Abraham did not act in that way.
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 are doing what your own father does.” “We are not bastards,” they said, “we have one Father — God himself.”
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.
“If God were your Father,” Jesus replied, “you would have loved me, for I came out from God, and now am here; and I have not come of myself, but he sent me as his Messenger.
43 Ngah ih tiimbaat rumhala erah mamah lajat ehan? Erah langla sen ih nga tiitkhaap ah lanook chaat thoidi angla.
How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my Message.
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.
As for you, you are children of your Father the Devil, and you are determined to do what your father loves to do. He was a murderer from the first, and did not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he does what is natural to him; because he is a liar, and the father of lying.
45 Enoothong ngah ih amiitiit ah baat rumhala, erah thoidi sen ih tahanpi ri.
But, as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that 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? Why then do not you believe me, if I am speaking truth?
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.”
He who comes from God listens to God’s teaching; the reason why you do not listen is because you do not come from God.”
48 Neng loong ah ih Jisu suh chengta, [Seng ih liihi an chiithih laakhah pan Samariate, epunjeng tam eli?]
“Are not we right, after all,” replied the Jews, “in saying that you are a Samaritan, and are possessed by a demon?”
49 [Ngah jiinni chiithih laakhah tajeeka, Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Ngah ih seng Wah choomjoh hang, enoothong sen ih ngah tachoom jori.
“I am not possessed by a demon,” Jesus answered, “but I am showing reverence for my Father; and yet you have no reverence for me.
50 Nga rangka ah nga raang ih tajam kang. Enoothong erah rangka jamte ah wahoh eje eno heh ih nga mendoh dande ah.
Not that I am seeking honour for myself; there is one who is seeking my honour, and he decides.
51 Ngah ih ami baat rumhala; ngah ih nyootsoot hang ah o minah ih kap ah erabah mabah uh tatiika.] (aiōn g165)
In truth I tell you, if any one lays my Message to heart, he will never really die.” (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
“Now we are sure that you are possessed by a demon,” the Jews replied. “Abraham died, and so did the Prophets; and yet you say ‘If any one lays my Message to heart, he will never know death.’ (aiōn g165)
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 ancestor Abraham, who died? And the Prophets died too. Whom do you make yourself out 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.
“If I do honour to myself,” answered Jesus, “such honour counts for nothing. It is my Father who does me honour — and you say 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 learned to know him; but I know him; and, if I were to say that I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him, and I lay his Message to heart.
56 Sen loong wah Abraham bah nga kaat saapoot ah japtup suh eroon eta; eno heh ih japtup eta nyia eroon eta.]
Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; and he did see it, and was glad.”
57 Neng ih Jisu suh li rumta, [an amadi paangrook bangnga bot maang ang ko—eno Abraham japtup eto oh?
“You are not fifty years old yet,” the Jews exclaimed, “and have you seen Abraham?”
58 “Ngah ih amiisak baat rumhala,” Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, “Abraham maang potsom di dook, ‘Ngah eje Angtang.”
“In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “before Abraham existed I was.”
59 Eno erah li kano heh patsuh jong toonpi rumta, enoothong Jisu Rangteenook dowa hotsoon eta.
At this they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and left the Temple Courts.
