يوحنَّا 8

١ 1 أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَمَضَى إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ.

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

٢ 2 ثُمَّ حَضَرَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ فِي ٱلصُّبْحِ، وَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فَجَلَسَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ.

Early in the morning he again went to the temple courts. All the people came, and he sat down and taught them.

٣ 3 وَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْكَتَبَةُ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ ٱمْرَأَةً أُمْسِكَتْ فِي زِنًا. وَلَمَّا أَقَامُوهَا فِي ٱلْوَسْطِ

Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought him a woman who had been caught in adultery. Making her stand before them all,

٤ 4 قَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أُمْسِكَتْ وَهِيَ تَزْنِي فِي ذَاتِ ٱلْفِعْلِ،

they said to Jesus, testing him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery.

٥ 5 وَمُوسَى فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ أَوْصَانَا أَنَّ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ تُرْجَمُ. فَمَاذَا تَقُولُ أَنْتَ؟».

In the law, Moses commanded us that such women should be stoned; what then do yoʋ say?”

٦ 6 قَالُوا هَذَا لِيُجَرِّبُوهُ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَهُمْ مَا يَشْتَكُونَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ. وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَٱنْحَنَى إِلَى أَسْفَلُ وَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ بِإِصْبِعِهِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

(They said this to test him, so that they might have something to accuse him of.) But Jesus stooped down and wrote with his finger on the ground, taking no notice.

٧ 7 وَلَمَّا ٱسْتَمَرُّوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ، ٱنْتَصَبَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ بِلَا خَطِيَّةٍ فَلْيَرْمِهَا أَوَّلًا بِحَجَرٍ!».

When they continued asking him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him among you who is without sin throw the first stone at her.”

٨ 8 ثُمَّ ٱنْحَنَى أَيْضًا إِلَى أَسْفَلُ وَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

٩ 9 وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا وَكَانَتْ ضَمَائِرُهُمْ تُبَكِّتُهُمْ، خَرَجُوا وَاحِدًا فَوَاحِدًا، مُبْتَدِئِينَ مِنَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ إِلَى ٱلْآخِرِينَ. وَبَقِيَ يَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَاقِفَةٌ فِي ٱلْوَسْطِ.

When they heard this, they were convicted by their own consciences and began to go away one by one, starting with the older men. So Jesus was left alone, with the woman there before him.

١٠ 10 فَلَمَّا ٱنْتَصَبَ يَسُوعُ وَلَمْ يَنْظُرْ أَحَدًا سِوَى ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، قَالَ لَهَا: «يَا ٱمْرَأَةُ، أَيْنَ هُمْ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْمُشْتَكُونَ عَلَيْكِ؟ أَمَا دَانَكِ أَحَدٌ؟».

Then Jesus stood up and saw no one but the woman. So he said to her, “Where are yoʋr accusers? Has no one condemned yoʋ?”

١١ 11 فَقَالَتْ «لَا أَحَدَ، يَا سَيِّدُ!». فَقَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «وَلَا أَنَا أَدِينُكِ. ٱذْهَبِي وَلَا تُخْطِئِي أَيْضًا».

She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I pass judgment on yoʋ; go and sin no more.”

١٢ 12 ثُمَّ كَلَّمَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا قَائِلًا: «أَنَا هُوَ نُورُ ٱلْعَالَمِ. مَنْ يَتْبَعْنِي فَلَا يَمْشِي فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ بَلْ يَكُونُ لَهُ نُورُ ٱلْحَيَاةِ».

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will certainly not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

١٣ 13 فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ: «أَنْتَ تَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِكَ. شَهَادَتُكَ لَيْسَتْ حَقًّا».

So the Pharisees said to him, “Yoʋ are testifying about yoʋrself, so yoʋr testimony is not valid.”

١٤ 14 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي فَشَهَادَتِي حَقٌّ، لِأَنِّي أَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتُ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ. وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلَا تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ آتِي وَلَا إِلَى أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ.

Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

١٥ 15 أَنْتُمْ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ تَدِينُونَ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ أَدِينُ أَحَدًا.

You judge according to the flesh, but I judge no one.

١٦ 16 وَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَدِينُ فَدَيْنُونَتِي حَقٌّ، لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ وَحْدِي، بَلْ أَنَا وَٱلْآبُ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

١٧ 17 وَأَيْضًا فِي نَامُوسِكُمْ مَكْتُوبٌ أَنَّ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلَيْنِ حَقٌّ:

In your own law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.

١٨ 18 أَنَا هُوَ ٱلشَّاهِدُ لِنَفْسِي، وَيَشْهَدُ لِي ٱلْآبُ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي».

I testify about myself, and the Father who sent me also testifies about me.”

١٩ 19 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَيْنَ هُوَ أَبُوكَ؟». أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَنِي أَنَا وَلَا أَبِي. لَوْ عَرَفْتُمُونِي لَعَرَفْتُمْ أَبِي أَيْضًا».

Then they said to him, “Where is yoʋr father?” Jesus answered, “You neither know me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father as well.”

٢٠ 20 هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامُ قَالَهُ يَسُوعُ فِي ٱلْخِزَانَةِ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ. وَلَمْ يُمْسِكْهُ أَحَدٌ، لِأَنَّ سَاعَتَهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَدْ جَاءَتْ بَعْدُ.

(Jesus spoke these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple courts. But no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.)

٢١ 21 قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا: «أَنَا أَمْضِي وَسَتَطْلُبُونَنِي، وَتَمُوتُونَ فِي خَطِيَّتِكُمْ. حَيْثُ أَمْضِي أَنَا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا».

Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

٢٢ 22 فَقَالَ ٱلْيَهُودُ: «أَلَعَلَّهُ يَقْتُلُ نَفْسَهُ حَتَّى يَقُولُ: حَيْثُ أَمْضِي أَنَا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا؟».

So the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means by saying, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”

٢٣ 23 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِنْ فَوْقُ. أَنْتُمْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ.

He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

٢٤ 24 فَقُلْتُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ تَمُوتُونَ فِي خَطَايَاكُمْ، لِأَنَّكُمْ إِنْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ تَمُوتُونَ فِي خَطَايَاكُمْ».

Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins, for if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”

٢٥ 25 فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ؟». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ مَا أُكَلِّمُكُمْ أَيْضًا بِهِ.

They said to him, “Who are yoʋ?” Jesus said to them, “Exactly what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

٢٦ 26 إِنَّ لِي أَشْيَاءَ كَثِيرَةً أَتَكَلَّمُ وَأَحْكُمُ بِهَا مِنْ نَحْوِكُمْ، لَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ حَقٌّ. وَأَنَا مَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ، فَهَذَا أَقُولُهُ لِلْعَالَمِ».

I have many things to say about you and to judge, but he who sent me is true, and I tell the world what I have heard from him.”

٢٧ 27 وَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْآبِ.

(They did not know that he was speaking to them about the Father.)

٢٨ 28 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «مَتَى رَفَعْتُمُ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، فَحِينَئِذٍ تَفْهَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ، وَلَسْتُ أَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا مِنْ نَفْسِي، بَلْ أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا كَمَا عَلَّمَنِي أَبِي.

So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own authority, but I speak these things just as my Father taught me.

٢٩ 29 وَٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ مَعِي، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْنِي ٱلْآبُ وَحْدِي، لِأَنِّي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ أَفْعَلُ مَا يُرْضِيهِ».

He who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”

٣٠ 30 وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا آمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ.

As he was saying these things, many believed in him.

٣١ 31 فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِلْيَهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِهِ: «إِنَّكُمْ إِنْ ثَبَتُّمْ فِي كَلَامِي فَبِالْحَقِيقَةِ تَكُونُونَ تَلَامِيذِي،

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples.

٣٢ 32 وَتَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ، وَٱلْحَقُّ يُحَرِّرُكُمْ».

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

٣٣ 33 أَجَابُوهُ: «إِنَّنَا ذُرِّيَّةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَلَمْ نُسْتَعْبَدْ لِأَحَدٍ قَطُّ! كَيْفَ تَقُولُ أَنْتَ: إِنَّكُمْ تَصِيرُونَ أَحْرَارًا؟».

They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham, and we have never been enslaved to anyone. How then can yoʋ say, ‘You will be set free’?”

٣٤ 34 أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ ٱلْخَطِيَّةَ هُوَ عَبْدٌ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ.

Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

٣٥ 35 وَٱلْعَبْدُ لَا يَبْقَى فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، أَمَّا ٱلِٱبْنُ فَيَبْقَى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. (aiōn g165)

The slave does not abide in the house forever; the son abides forever. (aiōn g165)

٣٦ 36 فَإِنْ حَرَّرَكُمْ ٱلِٱبْنُ فَبِالْحَقِيقَةِ تَكُونُونَ أَحْرَارًا.

So if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

٣٧ 37 أَنَا عَالِمٌ أَنَّكُمْ ذُرِّيَّةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. لَكِنَّكُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ تَقْتُلُونِي لِأَنَّ كَلَامِي لَا مَوْضِعَ لَهُ فِيكُمْ.

I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you are seeking to kill me because your hearts have no room for my word.

٣٨ 38 أَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ بِمَا رَأَيْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي، وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ مَا رَأَيْتُمْ عِنْدَ أَبِيكُمْ».

I speak of what I have seen with my Father; so you also are doing what you have seen with your father.”

٣٩ 39 أَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَبُونَا هُوَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ». قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَوْ كُنْتُمْ أَوْلَادَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، لَكُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ أَعْمَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ!

They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were children of Abraham, you would be doing the works of Abraham.

٤٠ 40 وَلَكِنَّكُمُ ٱلْآنَ تَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ تَقْتُلُونِي، وَأَنَا إِنْسَانٌ قَدْ كَلَّمَكُمْ بِٱلْحَقِّ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعَهُ مِنَ ٱللهِ. هَذَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ.

But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do such a thing.

٤١ 41 أَنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ أَعْمَالَ أَبِيكُمْ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «إِنَّنَا لَمْ نُولَدْ مِنْ زِنًا. لَنَا أَبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَهُوَ ٱللهُ».

You are doing the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of fornication. We have one Father—God.”

٤٢ 42 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَوْ كَانَ ٱللهُ أَبَاكُمْ لَكُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَنِي، لِأَنِّي خَرَجْتُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ وَأَتَيْتُ. لِأَنِّي لَمْ آتِ مِنْ نَفْسِي، بَلْ ذَاكَ أَرْسَلَنِي.

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come of my own accord, but he sent me.

٤٣ 43 لِمَاذَا لَا تَفْهَمُونَ كَلَامِي؟ لِأَنَّكُمْ لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا قَوْلِي.

Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot bear to accept my word.

٤٤ 44 أَنْتُمْ مِنْ أَبٍ هُوَ إِبْلِيسُ، وَشَهَوَاتِ أَبِيكُمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا. ذَاكَ كَانَ قَتَّالًا لِلنَّاسِ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ، وَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ فِي ٱلْحَقِّ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِيهِ حَقٌّ. مَتَى تَكَلَّمَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ فَإِنَّمَا يَتَكَلَّمُ مِمَّا لَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ وَأَبُو ٱلْكَذَّابِ.

You belong to your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks lies, he speaks from his own character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

٤٥ 45 وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلِأَنِّي أَقُولُ ٱلْحَقَّ لَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِي.

But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.

٤٦ 46 مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يُبَكِّتُنِي عَلَى خَطِيَّةٍ؟ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَقُولُ ٱلْحَقَّ، فَلِمَاذَا لَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِي؟

Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I am telling the truth, why do you not believe me?

٤٧ 47 اَلَّذِي مِنَ ٱللهِ يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَ ٱللهِ. لِذَلِكَ أَنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِنَ ٱللهِ».

Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear them is because you do not belong to God.”

٤٨ 48 فَأَجَاب ٱلْيَهُودُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَلَسْنَا نَقُولُ حَسَنًا: إِنَّكَ سَامِرِيٌّ وَبِكَ شَيْطَانٌ؟».

The Jews answered him, “Do we not rightly say that yoʋ are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

٤٩ 49 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا لَيْسَ بِي شَيْطَانٌ، لَكِنِّي أُكْرِمُ أَبِي وَأَنْتُمْ تُهِينُونَنِي.

Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

٥٠ 50 أَنَا لَسْتُ أَطْلُبُ مَجْدِي. يُوجَدُ مَنْ يَطْلُبُ وَيَدِينُ.

I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.

٥١ 51 اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَحْفَظُ كَلَامِي فَلَنْ يَرَى ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». (aiōn g165)

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will certainly never see death.” (aiōn g165)

٥٢ 52 فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ: ٱلْآنَ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّ بِكَ شَيْطَانًا. قَدْ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ، وَأَنْتَ تَقُولُ: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَحْفَظُ كَلَامِي فَلَنْ يَذُوقَ ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. (aiōn g165)

The Jews said to him, “Now we know that yoʋ have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet yoʋ say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will certainly never taste death.’ (aiōn g165)

٥٣ 53 أَلَعَلَّكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي مَاتَ؟ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ مَاتُوا. مَنْ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ؟».

Are yoʋ greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Who do yoʋ make yoʋrself out to be?”

٥٤ 54 أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ أُمَجِّدُ نَفْسِي فَلَيْسَ مَجْدِي شَيْئًا. أَبِي هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُمَجِّدُنِي، ٱلَّذِي تَقُولُونَ أَنْتُمْ إِنَّهُ إِلَهُكُمْ،

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.’

٥٥ 55 وَلَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَعْرِفُهُ. وَإِنْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُهُ أَكُونُ مِثْلَكُمْ كَاذِبًا، لَكِنِّي أَعْرِفُهُ وَأَحْفَظُ قَوْلَهُ.

You do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I keep his word.

٥٦ 56 أَبُوكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ تَهَلَّلَ بِأَنْ يَرَى يَوْمِي فَرَأَى وَفَرِحَ».

Your father Abraham was glad that he would see my day. He saw it and rejoiced.”

٥٧ 57 فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ: «لَيْسَ لَكَ خَمْسُونَ سَنَةً بَعْدُ، أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ؟».

Then the Jews said to him, “Yoʋ are not yet fifty years old, and yoʋ have seen Abraham?”

٥٨ 58 قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: قَبْلَ أَنْ يَكُونَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَنَا كَائِنٌ».

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

٥٩ 59 فَرَفَعُوا حِجَارَةً لِيَرْجُمُوهُ. أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَٱخْتَفَى وَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ مُجْتَازًا فِي وَسْطِهِمْ وَمَضَى هَكَذَا.

So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple grounds. And passing through the crowd, he walked away.

Jesus Preaches to the Multitude
