John 8
1 Jesu sì lọ sí orí òkè olifi.
And at dawn He came again to the temple [courts],
2 Ó sì tún padà wá sí tẹmpili ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀, gbogbo ènìyàn sì wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀; ó sì jókòó, ó ń kọ́ wọn.
and all the people were coming to Him, and having sat down, He was teaching them;
3 Àwọn akọ̀wé àti àwọn Farisi sì mú obìnrin kan wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, tí a mú nínú ṣíṣe panṣágà; wọ́n sì mú un dúró láàrín.
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Olùkọ́, a mú obìnrin yìí nínú ìṣe panṣágà.
they say to Him, “Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime [of] committing adultery,
5 Ǹjẹ́ nínú òfin, Mose pàṣẹ fún wa láti sọ irú àwọn obìnrin bẹ́ẹ̀ ní òkúta, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ha ti wí?”
and in the Law, Moses commanded us that such be stoned; You, therefore, what do You say?”
6 Èyí ni wọ́n wí, láti dán án wò, kí wọn ba à lè rí ẹ̀sùn kan kà sí i lọ́rùn. Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu bẹ̀rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì ń fi ìka rẹ̀ kọ̀wé ní ilẹ̀.
And this they said, trying Him, that they might have to accuse Him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger He was writing on the ground,
7 Nígbà tí wọ́n ń bi í léèrè lemọ́lemọ́, ó gbe orí rẹ sókè, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Jẹ́ kí ẹni tí ó wà láìní ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ nínú yín kọ́kọ́ sọ òkúta lù ú.”
and when they continued asking Him, having bent Himself back, He said to them, “The sinless of you—let him cast the first stone at her”;
8 Ó sì tún bẹ̀rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó ń kọ̀wé ní ilẹ̀.
and again having stooped down, He was writing on the ground,
9 Nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ èyí, wọ́n sì jáde lọ lọ́kọ̀ọ̀kan, bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn àgbà títí dé àwọn tí ó kẹ́yìn; a sì fi Jesu nìkan sílẹ̀, àti obìnrin náà láàrín, níbi tí ó wà.
and they having heard, and being convicted by the conscience, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders—to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 Jesu sì dìde, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Obìnrin yìí, àwọn olùfisùn rẹ dà? Kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó dá ọ lẹ́bi?”
And Jesus having bent Himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, “Woman, where are those—your accusers? Did no one pass sentence on you?”
11 Ó wí pé, “Kò sí ẹnìkan, Olúwa.” Jesu wí fún un pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi náà kò dá ọ lẹ́bi, máa lọ, láti ìgbà yìí lọ, má dẹ́ṣẹ̀ mọ́.”
And she said, “No one, Lord”; and Jesus said to her, “Neither do I pass sentence on you; be going on, and sin no more.”]]
12 Jesu sì tún sọ fún wọn pé, “Èmi ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ ayé, ẹni tí ó bá tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn kì yóò rìn nínú òkùnkùn, ṣùgbọ́n yóò ní ìmọ́lẹ̀ ìyè.”
Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I AM the light of the world; he who is following Me will not walk in the darkness, but he will have the light of life.”
13 Nítorí náà àwọn Farisi wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ń jẹ́rìí ara rẹ; ẹ̀rí rẹ kì í ṣe òtítọ́.”
The Pharisees, therefore, said to Him, “You testify of Yourself, Your testimony is not true”;
14 Jesu dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Bí mo tilẹ̀ ń jẹ́rìí fún ara mi, òtítọ́ ni ẹ̀rí mi: nítorí tí mo mọ ibi tí mo ti wá, mo sì mọ ibi tí mo ń lọ; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò lè mọ ibi tí mo ti wá, àti ibi tí mo ń lọ.
Jesus answered and said to them, “And if I testify of Myself—My testimony is true, because I have known from where I came, and to where I go, and you have not known from where I come, or to where I go.
15 Ẹ̀yin ń ṣe ìdájọ́ nípa ti ara; èmi kò ṣe ìdájọ́ ẹnikẹ́ni.
You judge according to the flesh; I do not judge anyone,
16 Ṣùgbọ́n bí èmi bá sì ṣe ìdájọ́, òtítọ́ ni, nítorí èmi nìkan kọ́, ṣùgbọ́n èmi àti Baba tí ó rán mi.
and even if I do judge My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me;
17 A sì kọ ọ́ pẹ̀lú nínú òfin pé, òtítọ́ ni ẹ̀rí ènìyàn méjì.
and also in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true;
18 Èmi ni ẹni tí ń jẹ́rìí ara mi, Baba tí ó rán mi sì ń jẹ́rìí mi.”
I am [One] who is testifying of Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies of Me.”
19 Nítorí náà wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Níbo ni Baba rẹ wà?” Jesu dáhùn pé, “Ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ mí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ kò mọ Baba mi, ìbá ṣe pé ẹ̀yin mọ̀ mí, ẹ̀yin ìbá sì ti mọ Baba mi pẹ̀lú.”
They said, therefore, to Him, “Where is Your father?” Jesus answered, “You have neither known Me nor My Father: if you had known Me, you had also known My Father.”
20 Ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí ni Jesu sọ níbi ìṣúra, bí ó ti ń kọ́ni ní tẹmpili, ẹnikẹ́ni kò sì mú un; nítorí wákàtí rẹ̀ kò tí ì dé.
Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come;
21 Nítorí náà ó tún wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi ń lọ, ẹ̀yin yóò sì wá mi, ẹ ó sì kú nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín, ibi tí èmi gbé ń lọ, ẹ̀yin kì yóò lè wá.”
therefore Jesus said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sin; to where I go away, you are not able to come.”
22 Nítorí náà àwọn Júù wí pé, “Òun ó ha pa ara rẹ̀ bí? Nítorí tí ó wí pé, ‘Ibi tí èmi gbé ń lọ, ẹ̀yin kì yóò lè wá’?”
The Jews, therefore, said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, To where I go away, you are not able to come?”
23 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ti ìsàlẹ̀ wá; èmi ti òkè wá; ẹ̀yin jẹ́ ti ayé yìí; èmi kì í ṣe ti ayé yìí.
And He said to them, “You are from beneath, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world;
24 Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe wí fún yín pé, ẹ ó kú nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín, nítorí bí kò ṣe pé ẹ bá gbàgbọ́ pé èmi ni, ẹ ó kú nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín.”
I said, therefore, to you, that you will die in your sins, for if you may not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
25 Nítorí náà wọ́n wí fún un pé, “Ta ni ìwọ jẹ́?” Jesu sì wí fún un pé, “Èmi ni èyí tí mo ti wí fún yín ní àtètèkọ́ṣe.
They said, therefore, to Him, “You—who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Even what I spoke of to you at the beginning;
26 Mo ní ohun púpọ̀ láti sọ, àti láti ṣe ìdájọ́ nípa yín, ṣùgbọ́n olóòtítọ́ ni ẹni tí ó rán mi, ohun tí èmi sì ti gbọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ wá, wọ̀nyí ni èmi ń sọ fún aráyé.”
many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent Me is true, and I—what things I heard from Him—these I say to the world.”
27 Kò yé wọn pé ti Baba ni ó ń sọ fún wọn.
They did not know that He spoke to them of the Father;
28 Lẹ́yìn náà Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Nígbà tí ẹ mọ̀ pé, nígbà tí ẹ bá gbé Ọmọ Ènìyàn sókè, nígbà náà ni ẹ ó mọ̀ pé èmi ni àti pé èmi kò dá ohunkóhun ṣe fún ara mi, ṣùgbọ́n bí Baba ti kọ́ mi, èmí ń sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, “When you may lift up the Son of Man then you will know that I AM; and I do nothing of Myself, but according as My Father taught Me, these things I speak;
29 Ẹni tí ó rán mí sì ń bẹ pẹ̀lú mi, kò fi mí sílẹ̀ ní èmi nìkan; nítorí tí èmi ń ṣe ohun tí ó wù ú nígbà gbogbo.”
and He who sent Me is with Me; the Father did not leave Me alone, because I always do the things pleasing to Him.”
30 Bí ó ti ń sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn gbà á gbọ́.
As He is speaking these things, many believed in Him;
31 Nítorí náà Jesu wí fún àwọn Júù tí ó gbà á gbọ́, pé, “Bí ẹ bá tẹ̀síwájú nínú ọ̀rọ̀ mi ẹ ó jẹ́ ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi nítòótọ́.
Jesus, therefore, said to the Jews who believed in Him, “If you may remain in My word, you are truly My disciples,
32 Ẹ ó sì mọ òtítọ́, òtítọ́ yóò sì sọ yín di òmìnira.”
and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
33 Wọ́n dá a lóhùn pé, “Irú-ọmọ Abrahamu ni àwa jẹ́, àwa kò sì ṣe ẹrú fún ẹnikẹ́ni rí láé; ìwọ ha ṣe wí pé, ‘Ẹ ó di òmìnira’?”
They answered Him, “We are seed of Abraham; and we have been servants to no one at any time; how do You say—You will become free?”
34 Jesu dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀, ẹrú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni.
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who is committing sin, is a servant of sin,
and the servant does not remain in the house—throughout the age, the Son remains—throughout the age; (aiōn g165)
36 Nítorí náà, bí Ọmọ bá sọ yín di òmìnira ẹ ó di òmìnira nítòótọ́.
if then the Son may make you free, in reality you will be free.
37 Mo mọ̀ pé irú-ọmọ Abrahamu ni ẹ̀yin jẹ́; ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa mí nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ mi kò rí ààyè nínú yín. Jesu sọ ọ̀rọ̀-ìjìnlẹ̀ nípa ara rẹ̀.
I have known that you are seed of Abraham, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you;
38 Ohun tí èmi ti rí lọ́dọ̀ Baba ni mo sọ, ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú sì ń ṣe èyí tí ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ baba yín.”
I speak that which I have seen with My Father, and you, therefore, do that which you have seen with your father.”
39 Wọ́n dáhùn, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Abrahamu ni baba wa!” Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ìbá ṣe iṣẹ́ Abrahamu.
They answered and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham”; Jesus says to them, “If you were children of Abraham, the works of Abraham you were doing;
40 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa mí, ẹni tí ó sọ òtítọ́ fún yín, èyí tí mo ti gbọ́ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run, Abrahamu kò ṣe èyí.
and now, you seek to kill Me—a Man who has spoken to you the truth I heard from God; Abraham did not do this;
41 Ẹ̀yin ń ṣe iṣẹ́ baba yín.” Nígbà náà ni wọ́n wí fún un pé, “a kò bí wa nípa panṣágà, a ní Baba kan, èyí sì ni Ọlọ́run.”
you do the works of your father.” They said, therefore, to Him, “We have not been born of whoredom; we have one Father—God”;
42 Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Ìbá ṣe pé Ọlọ́run ni Baba yín, ẹ̀yin ìbá fẹ́ràn mi, nítorí tí èmi ti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run jáde, mo sì wá; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò sì wá fún ara mi, ṣùgbọ́n òun ni ó rán mi.
Jesus then said to them, “If God were your father, you were loving Me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of Myself, but He sent Me;
43 Èéṣe tí èdè mi kò fi yé yín? Nítorí ẹ kò lè gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi.
why do you not know My speech? Because you are not able to hear My word.
44 Ti èṣù baba yin ni ẹ̀yin jẹ́, ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ baba yín ni ẹ sì ń fẹ́ ṣe. Apànìyàn ni òun jẹ́ láti àtètèkọ́ṣe, kò sì dúró nínú òtítọ́; nítorí tí kò sí òtítọ́ nínú rẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó bá ń ṣèké, nínú ohun tirẹ̀ ni ó ń sọ nítorí èké ni, àti baba èké.
You are of a father—the Devil, and the desires of your father you will to do; he was a manslayer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, he speaks of his own, because he is a liar—also his father.
45 Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí tí èmi ń sọ òtítọ́ fún yín, ẹ̀yin kò sì gbà mí gbọ́.
And because I say the truth, you do not believe Me.
46 Ta ni nínú yín tí ó ti dá mi lẹ́bi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀? Bí mo bá ń ṣọ òtítọ́, èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi gbà mí gbọ́?
Who of you convicts Me of sin? And if I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
47 Ẹni tí ń ṣe ti Ọlọ́run, a máa gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, nítorí èyí ni ẹ̀yin kò ṣe gbọ́, nítorí ẹ̀yin kì í ṣe ti Ọlọ́run.”
He who is of God, he hears the sayings of God; because of this you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
48 Àwọn Júù dáhùn wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Àwa kò wí nítòótọ́ pé, ará Samaria ni ìwọ jẹ́, àti pé ìwọ ní ẹ̀mí èṣù?”
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to Him, “Do we not say well, that You are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
49 Jesu sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi kò ní ẹ̀mí èṣù, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ń bu ọlá fún Baba mi, ẹ̀yin kò sì bu ọlá fún mi.
Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me;
50 Èmi kò wá ògo ara mi, ẹnìkan ń bẹ tí ó ń wá a tí yóò sì ṣe ìdájọ́.
and I do not seek My own glory; there is [One] who is seeking and is judging;
51 Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, bí ẹnìkan bá pa ọ̀rọ̀ mi mọ́, kì yóò rí ikú láéláé.” (aiōn g165)
truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may keep My word, he may not see death—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
52 Àwọn Júù wí fún un pé, “Nígbà yìí ni àwa mọ̀ pé ìwọ ní ẹ̀mí èṣù. Abrahamu kú, àti àwọn wòlíì; ìwọ sì wí pé, ‘Bí ẹnìkan bá pa ọ̀rọ̀ mi mọ́, kì yóò tọ́ ikú wò láéláé.’ (aiōn g165)
The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “Now we have known that You have a demon; Abraham died, and the prophets, and You say, If anyone may keep My word, he will not taste of death—throughout the age! (aiōn g165)
53 Ìwọ ha pọ̀ ju Abrahamu Baba wa lọ, ẹni tí ó kú? Àwọn wòlíì sì kú, ta ni ìwọ ń fi ara rẹ pè?”
Are You greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died; whom do You make Yourself?”
54 Jesu dáhùn wí pé, “Bí mo bá yin ara mi lógo, ògo mi kò jẹ́ nǹkan, Baba mi ni ẹni tí ń yìn mí lógo, ẹni tí ẹ̀yin wí pé, Ọlọ́run yín ní i ṣe.
Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who is glorifying Me, of whom you say that He is your God;
55 Ẹ kò sì mọ̀ ọ́n, ṣùgbọ́n èmi mọ̀ ọ́n, bí mo bá sì wí pé, èmi kò mọ̀ ọ́n, èmi yóò di èké gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin, ṣùgbọ́n èmi mọ̀ ọ́n, mo sì pa ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ mọ́.
and you have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I will be like you—speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and I keep His word;
56 Abrahamu baba yín yọ̀ láti rí ọjọ́ mi, ó sì rí i, ó sì yọ̀.”
your father Abraham was glad that he might see My day; and he saw, and rejoiced.”
57 Nítorí náà, àwọn Júù wí fún un pé, “Ọdún rẹ kò ì tó àádọ́ta, ìwọ sì ti rí Abrahamu?”
The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
58 Jesu sì wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́ lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, kí Abrahamu tó wà, èmi ti wa.”
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham’s coming—I AM”;
59 Nítorí náà wọ́n gbé òkúta láti sọ lù ú, ṣùgbọ́n Jesu fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́, ó sì jáde kúrò ní tẹmpili.
they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at Him, but Jesus hid Himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
