yōhanaḥ 8
1 pratyūṣē yīśuḥ panarmandiram āgacchat
but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 tataḥ sarvvēṣu lōkēṣu tasya samīpa āgatēṣu sa upaviśya tān upadēṣṭum ārabhata|
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 tadā adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinañca vyabhicārakarmmaṇi dhr̥taṁ striyamēkām āniya sarvvēṣāṁ madhyē sthāpayitvā vyāharan
Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 hē gurō yōṣitam imāṁ vyabhicārakarmma kurvvāṇāṁ lōkā dhr̥tavantaḥ|
they said to him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
5 ētādr̥śalōkāḥ pāṣāṇāghātēna hantavyā iti vidhirmūsāvyavasthāgranthē likhitōsti kintu bhavān kimādiśati?
Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
6 tē tamapavadituṁ parīkṣābhiprāyēṇa vākyamidam apr̥cchan kintu sa prahvībhūya bhūmāvaṅgalyā lēkhitum ārabhata|
Now they said this to test him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 tatastaiḥ punaḥ punaḥ pr̥ṣṭa utthāya kathitavān yuṣmākaṁ madhyē yō janō niraparādhī saēva prathamam ēnāṁ pāṣāṇēnāhantu|
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 paścāt sa punaśca prahvībhūya bhūmau lēkhitum ārabhata|
Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9 tāṁ kathaṁ śrutvā tē svasvamanasi prabōdhaṁ prāpya jyēṣṭhānukramaṁ ēkaikaśaḥ sarvvē bahiragacchan tatō yīśurēkākī tayakttōbhavat madhyasthānē daṇḍāyamānā sā yōṣā ca sthitā|
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 tatpaścād yīśurutthāya tāṁ vanitāṁ vinā kamapyaparaṁ na vilōkya pr̥ṣṭavān hē vāmē tavāpavādakāḥ kutra? kōpi tvāṁ kiṁ na daṇḍayati?
Then Jesus, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
11 sāvadat hē mahēccha kōpi na tadā yīśuravōcat nāhamapi daṇḍayāmi yāhi punaḥ pāpaṁ mākārṣīḥ|
And she said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more."
12 tatō yīśuḥ punarapi lōkēbhya itthaṁ kathayitum ārabhata jagatōhaṁ jyōtiḥsvarūpō yaḥ kaścin matpaścāda gacchati sa timirē na bhramitvā jīvanarūpāṁ dīptiṁ prāpsyati|
Again, therefore, Jesus 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 tataḥ phirūśinō'vādiṣustvaṁ svārthē svayaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadāsi tasmāt tava sākṣyaṁ grāhyaṁ na bhavati|
The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
14 tadā yīśuḥ pratyuditavān yadyapi svārthē'haṁ svayaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadāmi tathāpi mat sākṣyaṁ grāhyaṁ yasmād ahaṁ kuta āgatōsmi kva yāmi ca tadahaṁ jānāmi kintu kuta āgatōsmi kutra gacchāmi ca tad yūyaṁ na jānītha|
Jesus 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 yūyaṁ laukikaṁ vicārayatha nāhaṁ kimapi vicārayāmi|
You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16 kintu yadi vicārayāmi tarhi mama vicārō grahītavyō yatōham ēkākī nāsmi prērayitā pitā mayā saha vidyatē|
Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 dvayō rjanayōḥ sākṣyaṁ grahaṇīyaṁ bhavatīti yuṣmākaṁ vyavasthāgranthē likhitamasti|
It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 ahaṁ svārthē svayaṁ sākṣitvaṁ dadāmi yaśca mama tātō māṁ prēritavān sōpi madarthē sākṣyaṁ dadāti|
I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
19 tadā tē'pr̥cchan tava tātaḥ kutra? tatō yīśuḥ pratyavādīd yūyaṁ māṁ na jānītha matpitarañca na jānītha yadi mām akṣāsyata tarhi mama tātamapyakṣāsyata|
They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
20 yīśu rmandira upadiśya bhaṇḍāgārē kathā ētā akathayat tathāpi taṁ prati kōpi karaṁ nōdatōlayat|
Jesus 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 tataḥ paraṁ yīśuḥ punaruditavān adhunāhaṁ gacchāmi yūyaṁ māṁ gavēṣayiṣyatha kintu nijaiḥ pāpai rmariṣyatha yat sthānam ahaṁ yāsyāmi tat sthānam yūyaṁ yātuṁ na śakṣyatha|
Jesus 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 tadā yihūdīyāḥ prāvōcan kimayam ātmaghātaṁ kariṣyati? yatō yat sthānam ahaṁ yāsyāmi tat sthānam yūyaṁ yātuṁ na śakṣyatha iti vākyaṁ bravīti|
The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come?'"
23 tatō yīśustēbhyaḥ kathitavān yūyam adhaḥsthānīyā lōkā aham ūrdvvasthānīyaḥ yūyam ētajjagatsambandhīyā aham ētajjagatsambandhīyō 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 tasmāt kathitavān yūyaṁ nijaiḥ pāpai rmariṣyatha yatōhaṁ sa pumān iti yadi na viśvasitha tarhi nijaiḥ pāpai rmariṣyatha|
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 tadā tē 'pr̥cchan kastvaṁ? tatō yīśuḥ kathitavān yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau yasya prastāvam ā prathamāt karōmi saēva puruṣōhaṁ|
They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
26 yuṣmāsu mayā bahuvākyaṁ vakttavyaṁ vicārayitavyañca kintu matprērayitā satyavādī tasya samīpē yadahaṁ śrutavān tadēva jagatē kathayāmi|
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 janakē vākyamidaṁ prōkttavān iti tē nābudhyanta|
They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
28 tatō yīśurakathayad yadā manuṣyaputram ūrdvva utthāpayiṣyatha tadāhaṁ sa pumān kēvalaḥ svayaṁ kimapi karmma na karōmi kintu tātō yathā śikṣayati tadanusārēṇa vākyamidaṁ vadāmīti ca yūyaṁ jñātuṁ śakṣyatha|
Jesus 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 matprērayitā pitā mām ēkākinaṁ na tyajati sa mayā sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhati yatōhaṁ tadabhimataṁ karmma sadā karōmi|
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 tadā tasyaitāni vākyāni śrutvā bahuvastāsmin vyaśvasan|
As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31 yē yihūdīyā vyaśvasan yīśustēbhyō'kathayat
Jesus therefore said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32 mama vākyē yadi yūyam āsthāṁ kurutha tarhi mama śiṣyā bhūtvā satyatvaṁ jñāsyatha tataḥ satyatayā yuṣmākaṁ mōkṣō bhaviṣyati|
You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
33 tadā tē pratyavādiṣuḥ vayam ibrāhīmō vaṁśaḥ kadāpi kasyāpi dāsā na jātāstarhi yuṣmākaṁ muktti rbhaviṣyatīti vākyaṁ kathaṁ bravīṣi?
They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"
34 tadā yīśuḥ pratyavadad yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthataraṁ vadāmi yaḥ pāpaṁ karōti sa pāpasya dāsaḥ|
Jesus 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 ataḥ putrō yadi yuṣmān mōcayati tarhi nitāntamēva mukttā bhaviṣyatha|
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 yuyam ibrāhīmō vaṁśa ityahaṁ jānāmi kintu mama kathā yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇēṣu sthānaṁ na prāpnuvanti tasmāddhētō rmāṁ hantum īhadhvē|
I know that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 ahaṁ svapituḥ samīpē yadapaśyaṁ tadēva kathayāmi tathā yūyamapi svapituḥ samīpē yadapaśyata tadēva kurudhvē|
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 tadā tē pratyavōcan ibrāhīm asmākaṁ pitā tatō yīśurakathayad yadi yūyam ibrāhīmaḥ santānā abhaviṣyata tarhi ibrāhīma ācāraṇavad ācariṣyata|
They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
40 īśvarasya mukhāt satyaṁ vākyaṁ śrutvā yuṣmān jñāpayāmi yōhaṁ taṁ māṁ hantuṁ cēṣṭadhvē ibrāhīm ētādr̥śaṁ karmma na cakāra|
But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
41 yūyaṁ svasvapituḥ karmmāṇi kurutha tadā tairukttaṁ na vayaṁ jārajātā asmākam ēkaēva pitāsti sa ēvēśvaraḥ
You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
42 tatō yīśunā kathitam īśvarō yadi yuṣmākaṁ tātōbhaviṣyat tarhi yūyaṁ mayi prēmākariṣyata yatōham īśvarānnirgatyāgatōsmi svatō nāgatōhaṁ sa māṁ prāhiṇōt|
Therefore Jesus 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 yūyaṁ mama vākyamidaṁ na budhyadhvē kutaḥ? yatō yūyaṁ mamōpadēśaṁ sōḍhuṁ na śaknutha|
Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
44 yūyaṁ śaitān pituḥ santānā ētasmād yuṣmākaṁ piturabhilāṣaṁ pūrayatha sa ā prathamāt naraghātī tadantaḥ satyatvasya lēśōpi nāsti kāraṇādataḥ sa satyatāyāṁ nātiṣṭhat sa yadā mr̥ṣā kathayati tadā nijasvabhāvānusārēṇaiva kathayati yatō sa mr̥ṣābhāṣī mr̥ṣōtpādakaśca|
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 ahaṁ tathyavākyaṁ vadāmi kāraṇādasmād yūyaṁ māṁ na pratītha|
But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
46 mayi pāpamastīti pramāṇaṁ yuṣmākaṁ kō dātuṁ śaknōti? yadyahaṁ tathyavākyaṁ vadāmi tarhi kutō māṁ na pratitha?
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 yaḥ kaścana īśvarīyō lōkaḥ sa īśvarīyakathāyāṁ manō nidhattē yūyam īśvarīyalōkā na bhavatha tannidānāt tatra na manāṁsi nidhadvē|
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God."
48 tadā yihūdīyāḥ pratyavādiṣuḥ tvamēkaḥ śōmirōṇīyō bhūtagrastaśca vayaṁ kimidaṁ bhadraṁ nāvādiṣma?
Then the Judeans answered him, "Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"
49 tatō yīśuḥ pratyavādīt nāhaṁ bhūtagrastaḥ kintu nijatātaṁ sammanyē tasmād yūyaṁ mām apamanyadhvē|
Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 ahaṁ svasukhyātiṁ na cēṣṭē kintu cēṣṭitā vicārayitā cāpara ēka āstē|
But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
51 ahaṁ yuṣmabhyam atīva yathārthaṁ kathayāmi yō narō madīyaṁ vācaṁ manyatē sa kadācana nidhanaṁ na drakṣyati| (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death." (aiōn g165)
52 yihūdīyāstamavadan tvaṁ bhūtagrasta itīdānīm avaiṣma| ibrāhīm bhaviṣyadvādinañca sarvvē mr̥tāḥ kintu tvaṁ bhāṣasē yō narō mama bhāratīṁ gr̥hlāti sa jātu nidhānāsvādaṁ na lapsyatē| (aiōn g165)
Then the Judeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' (aiōn g165)
53 tarhi tvaṁ kim asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣād ibrāhīmōpi mahān? yasmāt sōpi mr̥taḥ bhaviṣyadvādinōpi mr̥tāḥ tvaṁ svaṁ kaṁ pumāṁsaṁ manuṣē?
Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
54 yīśuḥ pratyavōcad yadyahaṁ svaṁ svayaṁ sammanyē tarhi mama tat sammananaṁ kimapi na kintu mama tātō yaṁ yūyaṁ svīyam īśvaraṁ bhāṣadhvē saēva māṁ sammanutē|
Jesus 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 yūyaṁ taṁ nāvagacchatha kintvahaṁ tamavagacchāmi taṁ nāvagacchāmīti vākyaṁ yadi vadāmi tarhi yūyamiva mr̥ṣābhāṣī bhavāmi kintvahaṁ tamavagacchāmi tadākṣāmapi gr̥hlāmi|
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 yuṣmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣa ibrāhīm mama samayaṁ draṣṭum atīvāvāñchat tannirīkṣyānandacca|
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
57 tadā yihūdīyā apr̥cchan tava vayaḥ pañcāśadvatsarā na tvaṁ kim ibrāhīmam adrākṣīḥ?
The Judeans therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
58 yīśuḥ pratyavādīd yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthataraṁ vadāmi ibrāhīmō janmanaḥ pūrvvakālamārabhyāhaṁ vidyē|
Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
59 tadā tē pāṣāṇān uttōlya tamāhantum udayacchan kintu yīśu rguptō mantirād bahirgatya tēṣāṁ madhyēna prasthitavān|
Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was concealed, and went out of the temple.
