yOhanaH 8
1 pratyUSE yIzuH panarmandiram Agacchat
but Yeshua went to the Mount of Olives.
2 tataH sarvvESu lOkESu tasya samIpa AgatESu sa upavizya tAn upadESTum Arabhata|
Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
3 tadA adhyApakAH phirUzinanjca vyabhicArakarmmaNi dhRtaM striyamEkAm Aniya sarvvESAM madhyE sthApayitvA vyAharan
Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 hE gurO yOSitam imAM vyabhicArakarmma kurvvANAM lOkA dhRtavantaH|
they said to him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
5 EtAdRzalOkAH pASANAghAtEna hantavyA iti vidhirmUsAvyavasthAgranthE likhitOsti kintu bhavAn kimAdizati?
Now in the Law, Mushe commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
6 tE tamapavadituM parIkSAbhiprAyENa vAkyamidam apRcchan kintu sa prahvIbhUya bhUmAvaggalyA lEkhitum Arabhata|
Now they said this to test him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Yeshua stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 tatastaiH punaH punaH pRSTa utthAya kathitavAn yuSmAkaM madhyE yO janO niraparAdhI saEva prathamam EnAM pASANEnAhantu|
But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
8 pazcAt sa punazca prahvIbhUya bhUmau lEkhitum Arabhata|
Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9 tAM kathaM zrutvA tE svasvamanasi prabOdhaM prApya jyESThAnukramaM EkaikazaH sarvvE bahiragacchan tatO yIzurEkAkI tayakttObhavat madhyasthAnE daNPAyamAnA sA yOSA ca sthitA|
But when they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last, and he was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
10 tatpazcAd yIzurutthAya tAM vanitAM vinA kamapyaparaM na vilOkya pRSTavAn hE vAmE tavApavAdakAH kutra? kOpi tvAM kiM na daNPayati?
Then Yeshua, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
11 sAvadat hE mahEccha kOpi na tadA yIzuravOcat nAhamapi daNPayAmi yAhi punaH pApaM mAkArSIH|
And she said, "No one, Lord." And Yeshua said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more."
12 tatO yIzuH punarapi lOkEbhya itthaM kathayitum Arabhata jagatOhaM jyOtiHsvarUpO yaH kazcin matpazcAda gacchati sa timirE na bhramitvA jIvanarUpAM dIptiM prApsyati|
Again, therefore, Yeshua spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
13 tataH phirUzinO'vAdiSustvaM svArthE svayaM sAkSyaM dadAsi tasmAt tava sAkSyaM grAhyaM na bhavati|
The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
14 tadA yIzuH pratyuditavAn yadyapi svArthE'haM svayaM sAkSyaM dadAmi tathApi mat sAkSyaM grAhyaM yasmAd ahaM kuta AgatOsmi kva yAmi ca tadahaM jAnAmi kintu kuta AgatOsmi kutra gacchAmi ca tad yUyaM na jAnItha|
Yeshua answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I am going.
15 yUyaM laukikaM vicArayatha nAhaM kimapi vicArayAmi|
You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16 kintu yadi vicArayAmi tarhi mama vicArO grahItavyO yatOham EkAkI nAsmi prErayitA pitA mayA saha vidyatE|
Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 dvayO rjanayOH sAkSyaM grahaNIyaM bhavatIti yuSmAkaM vyavasthAgranthE likhitamasti|
It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 ahaM svArthE svayaM sAkSitvaM dadAmi yazca mama tAtO mAM prEritavAn sOpi madarthE sAkSyaM dadAti|
I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
19 tadA tE'pRcchan tava tAtaH kutra? tatO yIzuH pratyavAdId yUyaM mAM na jAnItha matpitaranjca na jAnItha yadi mAm akSAsyata tarhi mama tAtamapyakSAsyata|
They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Yeshua answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
20 yIzu rmandira upadizya bhaNPAgArE kathA EtA akathayat tathApi taM prati kOpi karaM nOdatOlayat|
Yeshua spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 tataH paraM yIzuH punaruditavAn adhunAhaM gacchAmi yUyaM mAM gavESayiSyatha kintu nijaiH pApai rmariSyatha yat sthAnam ahaM yAsyAmi tat sthAnam yUyaM yAtuM na zakSyatha|
Yeshua said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come."
22 tadA yihUdIyAH prAvOcan kimayam AtmaghAtaM kariSyati? yatO yat sthAnam ahaM yAsyAmi tat sthAnam yUyaM yAtuM na zakSyatha iti vAkyaM bravIti|
The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come?'"
23 tatO yIzustEbhyaH kathitavAn yUyam adhaHsthAnIyA lOkA aham UrdvvasthAnIyaH yUyam EtajjagatsambandhIyA aham EtajjagatsambandhIyO na|
He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24 tasmAt kathitavAn yUyaM nijaiH pApai rmariSyatha yatOhaM sa pumAn iti yadi na vizvasitha tarhi nijaiH pApai rmariSyatha|
I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
25 tadA tE 'pRcchan kastvaM? tatO yIzuH kathitavAn yuSmAkaM sannidhau yasya prastAvam A prathamAt karOmi saEva puruSOhaM|
They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Yeshua said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
26 yuSmAsu mayA bahuvAkyaM vakttavyaM vicArayitavyanjca kintu matprErayitA satyavAdI tasya samIpE yadahaM zrutavAn tadEva jagatE kathayAmi|
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
27 kintu sa janakE vAkyamidaM prOkttavAn iti tE nAbudhyanta|
They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
28 tatO yIzurakathayad yadA manuSyaputram Urdvva utthApayiSyatha tadAhaM sa pumAn kEvalaH svayaM kimapi karmma na karOmi kintu tAtO yathA zikSayati tadanusArENa vAkyamidaM vadAmIti ca yUyaM jnjAtuM zakSyatha|
Yeshua therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things.
29 matprErayitA pitA mAm EkAkinaM na tyajati sa mayA sArddhaM tiSThati yatOhaM tadabhimataM karmma sadA karOmi|
He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
30 tadA tasyaitAni vAkyAni zrutvA bahuvastAsmin vyazvasan|
As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31 yE yihUdIyA vyazvasan yIzustEbhyO'kathayat
Yeshua therefore said to those Yehudeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32 mama vAkyE yadi yUyam AsthAM kurutha tarhi mama ziSyA bhUtvA satyatvaM jnjAsyatha tataH satyatayA yuSmAkaM mOkSO bhaviSyati|
You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
33 tadA tE pratyavAdiSuH vayam ibrAhImO vaMzaH kadApi kasyApi dAsA na jAtAstarhi yuSmAkaM muktti rbhaviSyatIti vAkyaM kathaM bravISi?
They answered him, "We are Avraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"
34 tadA yIzuH pratyavadad yuSmAnahaM yathArthataraM vadAmi yaH pApaM karOti sa pApasya dAsaH|
Yeshua answered them, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
A slave does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
36 ataH putrO yadi yuSmAn mOcayati tarhi nitAntamEva mukttA bhaviSyatha|
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 yuyam ibrAhImO vaMza ityahaM jAnAmi kintu mama kathA yuSmAkam antaHkaraNESu sthAnaM na prApnuvanti tasmAddhEtO rmAM hantum IhadhvE|
I know that you are Avraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 ahaM svapituH samIpE yadapazyaM tadEva kathayAmi tathA yUyamapi svapituH samIpE yadapazyata tadEva kurudhvE|
I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have heard from your father."
39 tadA tE pratyavOcan ibrAhIm asmAkaM pitA tatO yIzurakathayad yadi yUyam ibrAhImaH santAnA abhaviSyata tarhi ibrAhIma AcAraNavad AcariSyata|
They answered him, "Our father is Avraham." Yeshua said to them, "If you were Avraham's children, you would do the works of Avraham.
40 Izvarasya mukhAt satyaM vAkyaM zrutvA yuSmAn jnjApayAmi yOhaM taM mAM hantuM cESTadhvE ibrAhIm EtAdRzaM karmma na cakAra|
But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Avraham did not do this.
41 yUyaM svasvapituH karmmANi kurutha tadA tairukttaM na vayaM jArajAtA asmAkam EkaEva pitAsti sa EvEzvaraH
You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
42 tatO yIzunA kathitam IzvarO yadi yuSmAkaM tAtObhaviSyat tarhi yUyaM mayi prEmAkariSyata yatOham IzvarAnnirgatyAgatOsmi svatO nAgatOhaM sa mAM prAhiNOt|
Therefore Yeshua said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I have not come of myself, but he sent me.
43 yUyaM mama vAkyamidaM na budhyadhvE kutaH? yatO yUyaM mamOpadEzaM sOPhuM na zaknutha|
Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
44 yUyaM zaitAn pituH santAnA EtasmAd yuSmAkaM piturabhilASaM pUrayatha sa A prathamAt naraghAtI tadantaH satyatvasya lEzOpi nAsti kAraNAdataH sa satyatAyAM nAtiSThat sa yadA mRSA kathayati tadA nijasvabhAvAnusArENaiva kathayati yatO sa mRSAbhASI mRSOtpAdakazca|
You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.
45 ahaM tathyavAkyaM vadAmi kAraNAdasmAd yUyaM mAM na pratItha|
But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
46 mayi pApamastIti pramANaM yuSmAkaM kO dAtuM zaknOti? yadyahaM tathyavAkyaM vadAmi tarhi kutO mAM na pratitha?
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 yaH kazcana IzvarIyO lOkaH sa IzvarIyakathAyAM manO nidhattE yUyam IzvarIyalOkA na bhavatha tannidAnAt tatra na manAMsi nidhadvE|
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God."
48 tadA yihUdIyAH pratyavAdiSuH tvamEkaH zOmirONIyO bhUtagrastazca vayaM kimidaM bhadraM nAvAdiSma?
Then the Yehudeans answered him, "Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"
49 tatO yIzuH pratyavAdIt nAhaM bhUtagrastaH kintu nijatAtaM sammanyE tasmAd yUyaM mAm apamanyadhvE|
Yeshua answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 ahaM svasukhyAtiM na cESTE kintu cESTitA vicArayitA cApara Eka AstE|
But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
51 ahaM yuSmabhyam atIva yathArthaM kathayAmi yO narO madIyaM vAcaM manyatE sa kadAcana nidhanaM na drakSyati| (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death." (aiōn g165)

Then the Yehudeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Avraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' (aiōn g165)
53 tarhi tvaM kim asmAkaM pUrvvapuruSAd ibrAhImOpi mahAn? yasmAt sOpi mRtaH bhaviSyadvAdinOpi mRtAH tvaM svaM kaM pumAMsaM manuSE?
Are you greater than our father, Avraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
54 yIzuH pratyavOcad yadyahaM svaM svayaM sammanyE tarhi mama tat sammananaM kimapi na kintu mama tAtO yaM yUyaM svIyam IzvaraM bhASadhvE saEva mAM sammanutE|
Yeshua answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say 'He is our God.'
55 yUyaM taM nAvagacchatha kintvahaM tamavagacchAmi taM nAvagacchAmIti vAkyaM yadi vadAmi tarhi yUyamiva mRSAbhASI bhavAmi kintvahaM tamavagacchAmi tadAkSAmapi gRhlAmi|
You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.
56 yuSmAkaM pUrvvapuruSa ibrAhIm mama samayaM draSTum atIvAvAnjchat tannirIkSyAnandacca|
Your father Avraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
57 tadA yihUdIyA apRcchan tava vayaH panjcAzadvatsarA na tvaM kim ibrAhImam adrAkSIH?
The Yehudeans therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Avraham?"
58 yIzuH pratyavAdId yuSmAnahaM yathArthataraM vadAmi ibrAhImO janmanaH pUrvvakAlamArabhyAhaM vidyE|
Yeshua said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Avraham came into existence, I AM."
59 tadA tE pASANAn uttOlya tamAhantum udayacchan kintu yIzu rguptO mantirAd bahirgatya tESAM madhyEna prasthitavAn|
Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Yeshua was concealed, and went out of the temple.
