< Sione 8 >

1 Ka naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sisu ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive.
Jesus went to the mount of Olives:
2 Pea toe haʻu hengihengi ia ki he falelotu lahi, pea haʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate ia; pea nofo ia, ʻo ako kiate kinautolu.
And 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 Pea ko e kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae fefine naʻe moʻua ʻi he tono tangata; ʻonau tuku ia ki he haʻohaʻonga,
And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery: and when they had set her in the midst,
4 Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Akonaki, naʻe moʻua ʻae fefine ni lolotonga ʻene tono tangata.
They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Pea ko eni, naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kiate kimautolu ʻi he fono, ke tolongaki ia ʻaki ʻae maka: ka ko e hā hoʻo lea?”
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned; but what sayest thou?
6 Naʻa nau lea pehē, ko ʻenau ʻahiʻahiʻi ia, koeʻuhi ke nau talakoviʻi ai ia. Ka naʻe tulolo hifo ʻa Sisu, pea tohi ʻaki hono tuhu ki he kelekele.
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not].
7 Pea ʻi heʻenau kei fehuʻi pe kiate ia, naʻe tuʻu ki ʻolunga ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku taʻeangahala, ke lī ʻe ia ʻae fuofua maka ki ai.”
So when they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 Pea toe tulolo ia, ʻo tohi ki he kelekele.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fanongo ai, ʻi he valokia ʻakinautolu ʻe honau ʻatamai, naʻa nau taki taha ʻalu kituʻa, ʻo fuofua fai mei he ki muʻa ʻo aʻu ki he ki mui: pea toe tokotaha ʻa Sisu, kae tuʻu ʻae fefine ʻi loto.
And they who heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 Pea kuo tuʻu hake ʻa Sisu, ʻo ʻikai mamata ki ha taha ka ko e fefine pe, pea pehē ʻe ia ki ai, “Fefine, ko e fē ʻakinautolu naʻa nau fakaʻiloʻi koe?” ʻOku ʻikai fakahalaia koe ʻe ha taha?
When Jesus had raised himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those thy accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha. Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Pea ʻoku ʻikai te u fakahalaia koe: ʻalu pea ʻoua ʻe toe fai angahala.”
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Pea toe lea ai ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko au ko e maama ʻo māmani: ko ia ʻoku muimui ʻiate au, ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia ʻi he poʻuli, ka ʻe ʻiate ia ʻae maama ʻoe moʻui.”
Then Jesus spoke 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 Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻae kau Fālesi kiate ia, “ʻOku ke fakamoʻoni kiate koe; ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni hoʻo fakamoʻoni.
The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testifiest concerning thyself; thy testimony is not true.
14 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni kiate au, ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻeku fakamoʻoni: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku ou haʻu mei ai, mo ia ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai; ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku ou haʻu mei ai, pe ko ia ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai.
Jesus answered and said to them, Though I testify concerning myself, [yet] my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15 ‌ʻOku mou fakamaau fakakakano pē; ʻoku ʻikai te u fakamaau ha tokotaha.
Ye judge after the flesh, I judge no man.
16 Pea kapau te u fakamaau, ʻoku moʻoni ʻeku fakamaau he ʻoku ʻikai teu tokotaha pe, ka ko au mo e Tamai naʻa ne fekau au.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 Pea kuo tohi foki ʻi hoʻomou fono, ko e fakamoʻoni ʻae tangata ʻe toko ua ʻoku moʻoni.
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Ko e tokotaha au ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni au, pea ko e Tamai naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku ne fakamoʻoni kiate au.”
I am one that testifieth concerning myself; and the Father that sent me, testifieth concerning me.
19 Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e fē hoʻo Tamai? Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo au, pe ko ʻeku Tamai: ka ne mou ʻilo au, pehē, kuo mou ʻilo mo ʻeku Tamai foki.
Then said they to 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 Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi he tukunga koloa, ʻi heʻene akonaki ʻi he falelotu lahi: pea naʻe ʻikai puke ia ʻe ha taha; he naʻe teʻeki hokosia hono ʻaho.
These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.
21 Pea toe tala ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou ʻalu, pea te mou kumi kiate au, ka te mou mate ʻi hoʻomou angahala: ko e potu ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai, ʻe ʻikai te mou hokosia.”
Then said Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Pea pehē ai ʻae kakai Siu, “ʻE tāmateʻi ʻe ia ia? He ʻoku ne pehē, ‘Ko e potu ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai, ʻe ʻikai te mou hokosia.’”
Then said the Jews, will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 Pea tala ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mei lalo ʻakimoutolu; ʻoku mei ʻolunga au: ʻoku ʻo māmani ʻakimoutolu; ʻoku ʻikai ʻo māmani au.
And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Ko ia naʻaku lea ai kiate kimoutolu, te mou mate ʻi hoʻomou angahala: he kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ‘ko au ia,’ te mou mate pe ʻi hoʻomou angahala.”
I said therefore to you, that ye will die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye will die in your sins.
25 Pea naʻa nau lea ai kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?” Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻAia pe naʻaku tala ʻi muʻa kiate kimoutolu.”
Then said they to him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith to them, Even [the same] that I said to you from the beginning.
26 ‌ʻOku lahi ʻae meʻa ke u tala mo valokiʻi ʻiate kimoutolu: ka ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku moʻoni ia; pea ʻoku ou fakahā ki māmani ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia kuo u fanongo ʻiate ia.
I have many things to say, and to judge of you: but he that sent me, is true: and I speak to the world those things which I have heard from him.
27 Naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ko ʻene lea kiate kinautolu ki he Tamai.
They understood not that he spoke to them concerning the Father.
28 Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Hili hoʻomou hiki ki ʻolunga ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata, pea te mou toki ʻilo ‘ko au ia,’ pea mo ʻeku taʻefai-ha-meʻa ʻiate au pe; kae hangē hono akoʻi au ʻe heʻeku Tamai, [ʻoku pehē ]ʻeku lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
Then said Jesus to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29 Pea ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku ʻiate au: ʻoku ʻikai siʻaki au ke tokotaha pe ʻe he Tamai; he ʻoku ou fai maʻuaipē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lelei ai ia.”
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 Pea ʻi heʻene leaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni, naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi kiate ia.
As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
31 Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu ki he kau Siu naʻe tui kiate ia, “Kapau te mou nofomaʻu ʻi heʻeku lea, pea ko ʻeku kau ākonga moʻoni ʻakimoutolu;
Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye continue in my word, ye are my disciples indeed;
32 Pea te mou ʻilo ʻae moʻoni, pea ʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he moʻoni.”
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi kiate ia, “Ko e hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakimautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te mau pōpula ki ha taha: pea ʻoku fēfeeʻi ʻa hoʻo lau, ‘ʻE fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu?’”
They answered him, We are Abraham's offspring, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku fai angahala, ko e pōpula ia ki he angahala.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Whoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
35 Pea ʻoku ʻikai nofomaʻuaipē ʻi he fale ʻae pōpula: [ka ]ʻoku nofomaʻuaipē ʻae ʻAlo. (aiōn g165)
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever, [but] the Son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Ko ia kapau ʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻAlo, te mou tauʻatāina moʻoni.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 ‌ʻOku ou ʻilo ko e hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakimoutolu; ka ʻoku mou kumi ke tāmateʻi au, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻi homou loto ʻa ʻeku akonaki.
I know that ye are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 ‌ʻOku ou lea ʻaki ʻaia kuo u ʻiloʻi ʻi heʻeku Tamai: pea ʻoku mou fai ʻaia kuo mou ʻiloʻi ʻi hoʻomou tamai.”
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 Naʻa nau leaange, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko ʻemau tamai ʻa ʻEpalahame.” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne ko e fānau ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻakimoutolu, pehē, te mou fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻEpalahame.
They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 Ka ko eni ʻoku mou kumi ke tāmateʻi au, ko e tangata kuo tala ʻae moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia kuo u fanongo ʻi he ʻOtua: naʻe ʻikai fai pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
41 ‌ʻOku mou fai ʻae ngāue ʻa hoʻomou tamai.” Pea naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau tupu ʻi he feʻauaki; ʻoku taha pe ʻemau Tamai, ko e ʻOtua.”
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
42 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne ko hoʻomou Tamai ʻae ʻOtua, te mou ʻofa kiate au: he naʻaku tupu ai ʻo haʻu mei he ʻOtua; pea naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ʻiate au pe, ka naʻa ne fekau au.
Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou ʻilo ʻeku lea? Ka koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou fie fai ki heʻeku akonaki.
Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word.
44 ‌ʻOku mou ʻi [hoʻomou ]tamai ko e tēvolo, pea ko e holi ʻa hoʻomou tamai te mou fai. Ko e fakapō ia talu mei he kamataʻanga, pea naʻe ʻikai nofomaʻu ʻi he moʻoni koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha moʻoni ʻiate ia. ʻOka lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae loi, ʻoku ne lea ʻaki ʻene meʻa ʻaʻana: he ko e loi ia, mo e tamai ʻo ia.
Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tala ʻae moʻoni [kiate kimoutolu], ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate au.
And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ne fakaʻilo haʻaku angahala? Pea kapau ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate au?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 Ko ia ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻoku fanongo ia ki he ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua: pea pehē, ʻoku ʻikai te mou fanongo, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu.”
He that is of God, heareth God's words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
48 Pea leaange ʻae kakai Siu, [ʻonau ]pehē kiate ia, “ʻIkai ʻoku moʻoni ʻemau pehē, Ko e Samēlia koe, pea ʻoku ʻiate koe ha tēvolo?”
Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “ʻOku ʻikai ha tēvolo ʻiate au; ka ʻoku ou fakaʻapaʻapa ki heʻeku Tamai, pea ʻoku mou fakalieliaʻi au.
Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
50 Pea ʻoku ʻikai teu kumi ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo ʻoku: ʻoku ai ha tokotaha ʻoku ne kumiʻi mo fakamaauʻi.
And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ki heʻeku lea, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mamata ia ki he mate.” (aiōn g165)
Verily, verily, I say to you, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Pea lea ai ʻae kakai Siu kiate ia, “Ta ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻeni ʻoku ʻiate koe ha tēvolo. Kuo mate ʻa ʻEpalahame, mo e kau palōfita; ka ʻoku ke pehē, Kapau ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ki heʻeku lea, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne kamata ʻae mate. (aiōn g165)
Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never taste death. (aiōn g165)
53 ‌ʻOku ke lahi koe ki heʻemau tamai ko ʻEpalahame, ʻaia kuo mate? Pea, mate mo e kau palōfita: ʻoku ke pehē ko hai koe?”
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “Kapau te u fakaongolelei au, ko e meʻa noa pē ʻeku fakaongo: ko ʻeku Tamai ko ia ia ʻoku ne fakaongoleleiʻi au; ʻaia ʻoku mou pehē ai, ko homou ʻOtua ia:
Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honoreth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Ka kuo ʻikai te mou ʻilo ia, ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ia: pea kapau te u pehē, ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ia, te u loi au ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu: ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ia, pe au tuitala ki heʻene folofola.
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar like you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Naʻe mātuʻaki fiefia ʻa hoʻomou tamai ko ʻEpalahame ke mamata ki hoku ʻaho: pea naʻe mamata ia, pea fiefia.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
57 Pea lea ʻae kakai Siu kiate ia, “ʻOku teʻeki ai nimangofulu taʻu ho motuʻa, pea kuo ke mamata kia ʻEpalahame?”
Then said the Jews to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ki muʻa ʻia ʻEpalahame, ‘ʻOku ou ʻi ai au.’”
Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Pea naʻa nau toʻo hake ʻae ngaahi maka, ke nau lisingi ʻaki ia; ka naʻe fufū ʻe Sisu ia, pea ʻalu ia ʻi honau lotolotonga mei he falelotu lahi, pea hao ai.
Then they took up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
