Johane 8
1 Mme Jesu a boela kwa Thabeng ya lotlhware,
And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,
2 mme ya re phakela mo mosong o o latelang a bo a le mo Tempeleng gape. Mme bontsintsi jwa simolola go kokoana, mme a nna fa fatshe a bua nabo.
And early in the morning came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them.
3 Ya re a santse a bua, baeteledipele ba Sejuta le Bafarasai ba lere mosadi yo o tshwerweng mo boakeng ba mmaya fa pele ga bontsintsi jwa batho jo bo lebeletseng.
Then the Scribes, and the Pharises brought vnto him a woman, taken in adulterie, and set her in the middes,
4 Ba raya Jesu ba re, “Moruti, mosadi yo o tshwerwe fela a santse a dira boaka.
And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.
5 Molao wa ga Moshe wa re a bolawe. Wa reng ka ga gone?”
Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?
6 Ba ne ba leka go mmeela seru sa gore a bue sengwe se ba tlaa mmonang molato ka sone, mme Jesu a inama a kwala mo mmung ka monwana wa gagwe.
And this they saide to tempt him, that they might haue, whereof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the groud.
7 Ba tswelela pele ba batla karabo mo go Jesu, jalo a inamologa a ba raya a re, “Go siame, mo kgobotleng ka matlapa go fitlhela a swa. Mme le gale a konopiwe lwa ntlha ke yo a iseng a ke a leofe.”
And while they continued asking him, hee lift himselfe vp, and sayde vnto them, Let him that is among you without sinne, cast the first stone at her.
8 Mme a inama a kwala gape mo mmung.
And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.
9 Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba ngwangwaela ka bongwe ka bongwe go simolola ka yo mogolo mo go bone go fitlhelela Jesu le mosadi ba sala ba le bosi fa pele ga bontsintsi jwa batho.
And when they heard it, being accused by their owne conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at ye eldest euen to the last: so Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the mids.
10 Mme Jesu a inamologa gape mme a mo raya a re, “Ba ba go bayang molato ba kae? A le fa e le ope wa bone ga aa go sekisa?”
When Iesus had lift vp himselfe againe, and sawe no man, but the woman, hee saide vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 Mme mosadi a fetola a re, “Nnyaa rra.” Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Le nna ga ke go sekise. Tsamaya mme o seka wa tlhola o leofa.”
She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more.
12 Mme erile morago, mo go nngwe ya dithero tsa gagwe, Jesu a raya batho a re, “Ke lesedi la lefatshe. Jalo fa lo ntshala moragao, ga lo na go kgotswa mo lefifing, gonne lesedi le le tshelang le tlaa bonesa tsela ya lona.”
Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am that light of the worlde: hee that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenes, but shall haue that light of life.
13 Mme Bafarasai ba mo fetola ba re, “O a ikgantsha ebile o bua maaka!”
The Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true.
14 Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ditshupo tse di boammaaruri le fa ke di bua di raya nna. Gonne ke itse kwa ke tswang teng le kwa ke go yang, mme ga lo itse kwa ke go tswang le kwa ke go yang.
Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, Though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe.
15 Lo nkatlhola lo sena mabaka a a utlwalang. Nna ga ke lo atlhole jaanong jaana,
Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.
16 mme fa ke ne nka lo atlhola, e ne e tlaa bo e le katlholo ya boammaaruri gotlhelele, gonne ke na le Rara yo o nthomileng.
And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.
17 Melao ya lona ya re fa batho ba le babedi ba dumalana mo go sengwe se se diragetseng, bosupi jwa bone bo amogelwa e le boammaaruri.
And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.
18 Mme he, Nna ke mosupi yo mongwe le Rre yo o nthomileng ke mosupi yo mongwe.”
I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.
19 Mme bone ba botsa Jesu ba re, “Rrago o kae?” Jesu a ba araba a re, “Ga lo nkitse gore ke mang, jalo he, ga lo itse gore Rre ke mang. Fa lo no lo nkitsile, hong le ene lo ka bo lo mo itsele.”
Then saide they vnto him, Where is that Father of thine? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor that Father of mine. If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen that Father of mine also.
20 Jesu o ne a bua mafoko a a sa ntse a le mo lefelong la Tempele le le bidiwang Ntlo ya Dikhumo. Mme ga a ka a tshwarwa, gonne e ne e ise e nne lobaka lwa gagwe.
These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurie, as hee taught in the Temple, and no man layde handes on him: for his houre was not yet come.
21 Kwa morago a ba raya a re, “Ke a tsamaya; mme lo tlaa mpatla, mme lo tlaa swela mo dibeng tsa lona. Mme ga lo ka ke lwa tla kwa ke yang teng.”
Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, and shall die in your sinnes, Whither I goe, can ye not come.
22 Bajuta ba botsa ba re, “A o ikaelela go ipolaya? O raya eng fa a re, ‘Ga lo ka ke lwa tla kwa ke yang teng’?”
Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?
23 Mme a ba raya a re, “Lo tswa kwa tlase; ke tswa kwa godimo. Lo ba lefatshe leno; nna ga ke wa lona.
And hee saide vnto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from aboue: ye are of this world, I am not of this worlde.
24 Ke sone se ke neng ke re lo tlaa swela mo dibeng tsa lona; gonne fa lo sa dumele gore Ke Mesia, Morwa Modimo, lo tlaa swela mo dibeng tsa lona.”
I said therefore vnto you, That ye shall die in your sinnes: for except ye beleeue, that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes.
25 Ba batla go itse, “Re bolelele gore o mang.” A fetola a re, “Ke yo o agang a lo ipolelela malatsi otlhe.
Then saide they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saide vnto them, Euen the same thing that I said vnto you from the beginning.
26 Ke ne ke ka lo sekisetsa dilo di le dintsi ka ba ka lo ruta di le dintsi, mme ga ke na go dira jalo, gonne ke bua fela se ke se boleletsweng ke yo o nthomileng; yo o boammaaruri.”
I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speake I to the world.
27 Mme ba nna ba tlhoka go tlhaloganya gore o ne a bua le bone ka ga Modimo.
They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.
28 Mme Jesu a re, “E tlaa re lo sena go bolaya Morwa Motho, lo tlaa lemoga gore ke nna tota le gore ke ntse ke sa lo bolelele se ke se intshetsang fela mo tlhaloganyong ya me, mme ke ne ke bua se Rara o se nthutileng.
Then said Iesus vnto them, When ye haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe, but as my Father hath taught me, so I speake these things.
29 Mme yo o nthomileng o na le nna, ga a a ntatlha, gonne ke aga ke dira dilo tse di mo itumedisang.”
For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him.
30 Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba le bantsi ba ba mo utlwileng a bua dilo tse ba simolola go mo dumela fa e le Mesia. Jesu a ba raya a re, “Lo barutwa ba me ba boammaaruri fa lo tshela ka fa ke lo bolelelang ka teng,
As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.
Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,
32 mme lo tlaa itse boammaaruri, mme boammaaruri bo tlaa lo golola.”
And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.
33 Mme ba re, “Mme re losika lwa ga Aberahame, ga re ise re ke re nne makgoba a ga ope mo lefatsheng! O raya eng fa o re ‘boammaaruri bo tlaa lo golola’?”
They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?
34 Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Lo makgoba a sebe, mongwe le mogwe wa lona.
Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.
35 Mme makgoba ga a na ditshwanelo, mme Morwa o na le tshwanelo nngwe le nngwe, e e teng! (aiōn g165)
And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer. (aiōn g165)
36 Jalo fa Morwa a lo golola, lo tlaa gololesega tota.
If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.
37 (Ee, ke lemoga gore lo losika lwa ga Aberahame!) Mme le fa go ntse jalo bangwe ba lona ba leka go mpolaya gonne molaetsa wa me ga o bone boikhutso mo dipelong tsa bone.
I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.
38 Ke lo bolelela se ke se bonyeng fa ke na le Rre. Mme lona lo diragatsa kgakololo ya ga rraa-lona.”
I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father.
39 Ba re, “Rraa-rona ke Aberahame,” mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Nnyaa! Fa e ne e le ene, lo ka bo lo tshwana nae.
They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.
40 Mme mo boemong jwa gore lo tshwane nae lo leka go mpolaya, ka ntlha ya go bo ke lo boleletse boammaaruri jo ke bo utlwileng kwa Modimong. Aberahame o ne o ka seka a dira selo se se ntseng jalo!
But nowe ye goe about to kill mee, a man that haue told you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Nnyaa! Lo obamela rraa-lona tota fa lo dira jalo.” Ba fetola ba re, “Ga re a tsalelwa mo dikgoreng, rraa-rona wa boammaaruri ke Modimo o le osi.”
Ye do the workes of your father. Then said they to him, We are not borne of fornication: we haue one Father, which is God.
42 Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Fa go ne go ntse jalo, lo ka bo lo nthata, gonne ke tsile kwa go lona ke tswa kwa Modimong. Ga ke fano ka go rata ga me, ke ene o nthomileng.
Therefore Iesus sayde vnto them, If God were your Father, then woulde ye loue mee: for I proceeded foorth, and came from God, neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me.
43 Ke eng fa lo sa kgone go tlhaloganya se ke se buang? Ke ka ntlha ya gore lo kganelwa go dira jalo!
Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.
44 Gonne lo bana ba ga rraa-lona ebong Diabolo, jalo he lo rata dilo tse di bosula tse a di dirang. Ene o sale a nna mmolai le mo tshimologong, le Moidi wa boammaaruri, ga go na le fa e le tlhase-nyana ya boammaaruri mo go ene. Fa a bua maaka, ke tlwaelo ya gagwe gonne ke Ramaaka.
Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lustes of your father ye will doe: hee hath bene a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When hee speaketh a lie, then speaketh hee of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
45 Mme jalo fa ke bua boammaaruri, ga lo dumele ka ntlha ya ka fa lo tlholegileng ka teng!
And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.
46 “Ke ofe wa lona yo o ka mpayang molato wa sebe? [Ga gona ope!] Mme ka ke lo bolelela boammaaruri, ke eng fa lo sa ntumele?
Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?
47 Le fa e le mang yo e leng gore rraagwe ke Modimo o reetsa mafoko a Modimo ka boitumelo. Mme ka lo sa reetse, go supa fa lo se bana ba one.”
He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.
48 Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba goa ba re, “Mosamarea ke wena! Motswakwa! Diabolo! A ga re a go bolelela ra re o tsenwe ke mowa o o maswe?”
Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast a deuil?
49 Jesu a re, “Nnyaa, ga ke a tsenwa ke mowa o o maswe. Gonne ke tlotla Rre, mme nna ga lo ntlotle?
Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me.
50 Mme le fa ke sa eletse go ikgodisa, Modimo o mpatlela selo se ebile o atlhola ba ba sa mpatleng.
And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.
51 Ka tlhomamiso yotlhe ke lo raya ke re, ga go na ope yo o ntheetsang yo o tlaa swang!” (aiōn g165)
Verely, verely I say vnto you, If a man keepe my word, he shall neuer see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba mo raya ba re, “Jaanong re itse gore o tsenwe ke mowa o o maswe. Le Aberahame tota le baporofiti ba bagolo ba sule, mme wena wa re fa re go obamela ga re kitla re e swa! (aiōn g165)
Then said the Iewes to him, Now know we that thou hast a deuill. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keepe my worde, he shall neuer taste of death. (aiōn g165)
53 Jalo he, a o mogolo mo go rraa-rona Aberahame yo o suleng? Gape a o mogolo mo baporofiting ba ba suleng? O ikgopola gore o eng.”
Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whome makest thou thy selfe?
54 Hong Jesu a ba raya a re, “Fa e le gore ke a ikgodisa, ga go reye sepe. Mme Modimo ke Rre, mme lwa re Modimo ke wa lona, yo o buang dilo tse di galalelang tse ka ga me.
Iesus answered, If I honour my selfe, mine honour is nothing worth: it is my Father that honoureth me, whome ye say, that hee is your God.
55 Mme le fa e le go mo itse ga lo mo itse. Nna ke a mo itse. Fa e le gore ke buile ka tsela nngwe, ke tlaa bo ke mo obamela ka botlalo.
Yet ye haue not knowen him: but I knowe him, and if I should say I know him not, I should be a liar like vnto you: but I knowe him, and keepe his worde.
56 Rraa-lona Aberahame o itumeletse go bona letsatsi la me. O ne a itse gore ke e tla mme a itumela.”
Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad.
57 Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba re, “Ga o ise o bo o nne dingwaga di le masome matlhano, tota ga o ise o ke o bone Aberahame!”
Then sayd ye Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeere olde, and hast thou seene Abraham?
58 Mme Jesu a re, “Boammaaruri jotlhe ke gore ke ne ke sale ke tshedile pele ga Aberahame a tsalwa!”
Iesus sayd vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.
59 Gone fela foo baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba sela matlapa go mmolaya. Mme a ba iphitlhela, a ba ralala a tswa mo Tempeleng.
Then tooke they vp stones, to cast at him, but Iesus hid himselfe, and went out of the Temple: And hee passed through the middes of them, and so went his way.
