yOhanaH 8
1 pratyUSE yIzuH panarmandiram Agacchat
But Jesus went to the mount of Olives;
2 tataH sarvvESu lOkESu tasya samIpa AgatESu sa upavizya tAn upadESTum Arabhata|
and returned early in the morning 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
And the scribes and pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery;
4 hE gurO yOSitam imAM vyabhicArakarmma kurvvANAM lOkA dhRtavantaH|
and setting her in the midst, they said to Him, "This woman was caught in the very act, committing adultery.
5 EtAdRzalOkAH pASANAghAtEna hantavyA iti vidhirmUsAvyavasthAgranthE likhitOsti kintu bhavAn kimAdizati?
Now Moses in the law has commanded us that such women should be stoned, but what sayest Thou?"
6 tE tamapavadituM parIkSAbhiprAyENa vAkyamidam apRcchan kintu sa prahvIbhUya bhUmAvaggalyA lEkhitum Arabhata|
This they said to tempt Him, that they might have something to accuse Him of. But Jesus stooping down, wrote with his finger upon the ground.
7 tatastaiH punaH punaH pRSTa utthAya kathitavAn yuSmAkaM madhyE yO janO niraparAdhI saEva prathamam EnAM pASANEnAhantu|
And as they continued asking Him, He raised himself up and said unto them, "Let him that is without sin among you, first cast a stone at her."
8 pazcAt sa punazca prahvIbhUya bhUmau lEkhitum Arabhata|
Then He stooped down again and 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 his answer, being convicted by their own conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at the elder, even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst of the people.
10 tatpazcAd yIzurutthAya tAM vanitAM vinA kamapyaparaM na vilOkya pRSTavAn hE vAmE tavApavAdakAH kutra? kOpi tvAM kiM na daNPayati?
Then Jesus rising up, and seeing none but the woman, said unto her, Where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 sAvadat hE mahEccha kOpi na tadA yIzuravOcat nAhamapi daNPayAmi yAhi punaH pApaM mAkArSIH|
And she said, None, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee, Go thy way 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|
Then spake Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he, that followeth me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall 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, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy testimony is not true.
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|
Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear witness of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I go.
15 yUyaM laukikaM vicArayatha nAhaM kimapi vicArayAmi|
Ye judge according to the flesh, but I judge no man as yet:
16 kintu yadi vicArayAmi tarhi mama vicArO grahItavyO yatOham EkAkI nAsmi prErayitA pitA mayA saha vidyatE|
though if I should judge, my judgement is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father that sent me.
17 dvayO rjanayOH sAkSyaM grahaNIyaM bhavatIti yuSmAkaM vyavasthAgranthE likhitamasti|
And it is written in your own law, that the testimony of two persons is valid.
18 ahaM svArthE svayaM sAkSitvaM dadAmi yazca mama tAtO mAM prEritavAn sOpi madarthE sAkSyaM dadAti|
Now I am one, who bear witness of myself; and the Father, who sent me, beareth witness of me.
19 tadA tE'pRcchan tava tAtaH kutra? tatO yIzuH pratyavAdId yUyaM mAM na jAnItha matpitaranjca na jAnItha yadi mAm akSAsyata tarhi mama tAtamapyakSAsyata|
Then said they unto Him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.
20 yIzu rmandira upadizya bhaNPAgArE kathA EtA akathayat tathApi taM prati kOpi karaM nOdatOlayat|
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, when He was teaching in the temple: and no one laid hands on Him, for his hour was 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|
Jesus therefore said unto them again, "I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: where I go ye cannot come."
22 tadA yihUdIyAH prAvOcan kimayam AtmaghAtaM kariSyati? yatO yat sthAnam ahaM yAsyAmi tat sthAnam yUyaM yAtuM na zakSyatha iti vAkyaM bravIti|
The Jews therefore said, What! will He kill himself; that He says, where I am going, ye cannot come?
23 tatO yIzustEbhyaH kathitavAn yUyam adhaHsthAnIyA lOkA aham UrdvvasthAnIyaH yUyam EtajjagatsambandhIyA aham EtajjagatsambandhIyO na|
And He said unto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from above: ye 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|
Therefore I said unto you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am the Messiah, ye shall die in your sins.
25 tadA tE 'pRcchan kastvaM? tatO yIzuH kathitavAn yuSmAkaM sannidhau yasya prastAvam A prathamAt karOmi saEva puruSOhaM|
Then said they to Him, Who art thou? And Jesus answered them, Even the same that I told you at first.
26 yuSmAsu mayA bahuvAkyaM vakttavyaM vicArayitavyanjca kintu matprErayitA satyavAdI tasya samIpE yadahaM zrutavAn tadEva jagatE kathayAmi|
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you: but I only say, He that sent me is true, and I declare to the world those things, which I have heard from Him.
27 kintu sa janakE vAkyamidaM prOkttavAn iti tE nAbudhyanta|
But they did not know that He spake unto them of 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|
Jesus therefore said unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am He, and that I do nothing of myself, but as my Father hath instructed me, I speak these things.
29 matprErayitA pitA mAm EkAkinaM na tyajati sa mayA sArddhaM tiSThati yatOhaM tadabhimataM karmma sadA karOmi|
And He that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.
30 tadA tasyaitAni vAkyAni zrutvA bahuvastAsmin vyazvasan|
As He spake these words many believed on Him.
31 yE yihUdIyA vyazvasan yIzustEbhyO'kathayat
Therefore said Jesus to the Jews that believed on Him, If ye continue in my word, ye are indeed my disciples.
32 mama vAkyE yadi yUyam AsthAM kurutha tarhi mama ziSyA bhUtvA satyatvaM jnjAsyatha tataH satyatayA yuSmAkaM mOkSO bhaviSyati|
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall 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 the seed of Abraham, and never were slaves to any one, how then dost thou say, Ye shall be made free?
34 tadA yIzuH pratyavadad yuSmAnahaM yathArthataraM vadAmi yaH pApaM karOti sa pApasya dAsaH|
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily I say unto you, whosoever maketh a practice of sin, is the servant of sin.
Now the servant does not continue always in the family: but the Son abideth always. (aiōn g165)
36 ataH putrO yadi yuSmAn mOcayati tarhi nitAntamEva mukttA bhaviSyatha|
If therefore the Son make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 yuyam ibrAhImO vaMza ityahaM jAnAmi kintu mama kathA yuSmAkam antaHkaraNESu sthAnaM na prApnuvanti tasmAddhEtO rmAM hantum IhadhvE|
I know that ye are the seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 ahaM svapituH samIpE yadapazyaM tadEva kathayAmi tathA yUyamapi svapituH samIpE yadapazyata tadEva kurudhvE|
I speak that which I have seen with my Father, and ye do what ye have seen with your father.
39 tadA tE pratyavOcan ibrAhIm asmAkaM pitA tatO yIzurakathayad yadi yUyam ibrAhImaH santAnA abhaviSyata tarhi ibrAhIma AcAraNavad AcariSyata|
They answered Him, Abraham is our father, Jesus replied, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would do the works of Abraham:
40 Izvarasya mukhAt satyaM vAkyaM zrutvA yuSmAn jnjApayAmi yOhaM taM mAM hantuM cESTadhvE ibrAhIm EtAdRzaM karmma na cakAra|
but now ye seek to kill me, who have told you the truth which I have heard from God: Abraham did not thus.
41 yUyaM svasvapituH karmmANi kurutha tadA tairukttaM na vayaM jArajAtA asmAkam EkaEva pitAsti sa EvEzvaraH
But ye do the works of your father. Then said they unto Him, We are not born of fornication, we have one Father, even God.
42 tatO yIzunA kathitam IzvarO yadi yuSmAkaM tAtObhaviSyat tarhi yUyaM mayi prEmAkariSyata yatOham IzvarAnnirgatyAgatOsmi svatO nAgatOhaM sa mAM prAhiNOt|
Jesus said unto them, If God were your father, ye would love me: for I came forth, and do come, from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me.
43 yUyaM mama vAkyamidaM na budhyadhvE kutaH? yatO yUyaM mamOpadEzaM sOPhuM na zaknutha|
And why do ye not understand my language, but because ye cannot bear my doctrine?
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|
Ye are of your father the devil, and are bent upon doing the lusts of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and continued not in the truth: for there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh like himself, for he is a liar, and the father of such.
45 ahaM tathyavAkyaM vadAmi kAraNAdasmAd yUyaM mAM na pratItha|
And because I say the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convicteth me of sin?
46 mayi pApamastIti pramANaM yuSmAkaM kO dAtuM zaknOti? yadyahaM tathyavAkyaM vadAmi tarhi kutO mAM na pratitha?
And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 yaH kazcana IzvarIyO lOkaH sa IzvarIyakathAyAM manO nidhattE yUyam IzvarIyalOkA na bhavatha tannidAnAt tatra na manAMsi nidhadvE|
He, that is of God, receiveth the words of God; but ye therefore receive them not, because ye are not of God.
48 tadA yihUdIyAH pratyavAdiSuH tvamEkaH zOmirONIyO bhUtagrastazca vayaM kimidaM bhadraM nAvAdiSma?
The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him. Do we not rightly say, that thou art a Samaritan, and art possessed by a demon?
49 tatO yIzuH pratyavAdIt nAhaM bhUtagrastaH kintu nijatAtaM sammanyE tasmAd yUyaM mAm apamanyadhvE|
Jesus answered I am not possessed by a demon, but I honour my Father, though ye dishonour me.
50 ahaM svasukhyAtiM na cESTE kintu cESTitA vicArayitA cApara Eka AstE|
And I seek not my own glory; there is One that seeketh it, and judgeth.
51 ahaM yuSmabhyam atIva yathArthaM kathayAmi yO narO madIyaM vAcaM manyatE sa kadAcana nidhanaM na drakSyati| (aiōn g165)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 yihUdIyAstamavadan tvaM bhUtagrasta itIdAnIm avaiSma| ibrAhIm bhaviSyadvAdinanjca sarvvE mRtAH kintu tvaM bhASasE yO narO mama bhAratIM gRhlAti sa jAtu nidhAnAsvAdaM na lapsyatE| (aiōn g165)
The Jews therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? (aiōn g165)
53 tarhi tvaM kim asmAkaM pUrvvapuruSAd ibrAhImOpi mahAn? yasmAt sOpi mRtaH bhaviSyadvAdinOpi mRtAH tvaM svaM kaM pumAMsaM manuSE?
and the prophets are dead: whom dost thou pretend to be?

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say that He is your God.
55 yUyaM taM nAvagacchatha kintvahaM tamavagacchAmi taM nAvagacchAmIti vAkyaM yadi vadAmi tarhi yUyamiva mRSAbhASI bhavAmi kintvahaM tamavagacchAmi tadAkSAmapi gRhlAmi|
And yet ye know him not; but I know Him: and if I should say, That I know Him not, I shall be like you, a liar: but I know Him, and obey his word.
56 yuSmAkaM pUrvvapuruSa ibrAhIm mama samayaM draSTum atIvAvAnjchat tannirIkSyAnandacca|
Your father Abraham longed to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 tadA yihUdIyA apRcchan tava vayaH panjcAzadvatsarA na tvaM kim ibrAhImam adrAkSIH?
Then said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 yIzuH pratyavAdId yuSmAnahaM yathArthataraM vadAmi ibrAhImO janmanaH pUrvvakAlamArabhyAhaM vidyE|
Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham was, 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 Jesus concealed Himself, and went out of the temple, through the midst of them, and so passed on.
