< Joan 8 >

1 Baina Iesus ioan cedin Oliuatzetaco mendirát.
except Jesus, who went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Eta arguiaren beguian berriz ethor cedin templera, eta populu gucia ethor cedin harengana: eta iarriric cegoela iracasten cituen hec.
But he went again into the Temple Courts early in the morning, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.
3 Orduan duté ekarten harengana Scribéc eta Phariseuéc emazte adulterioan hatzaman-bat: eta hura artean eçarriric,
Presently, however, the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placed her in the middle of the Court,
4 Diotsate, Magistruá, emazte haur hatzaman içan duc adulterioco eguitate berean.
and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was found in the act of adultery.
5 Eta Leguean Moysesec manatu diraucuc hunelacoac lapida ditecen: hic bada cer dioc?
Now Moses, in the Law, commanded us to stone such women to death; what do you say?”
6 Eta haur erraiten çuten hura tentatzen çutela, hura cerçaz accusa lutençát. Baina Iesusec beheiti gurthuric erhiaz scribatzen çuen lurrean.
They said this to test him, in order to have a charge to bring against him. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 Eta haren interrogatzez perseueratzen çutela, chuchenduric erran ciecén, Çuetaric bekatu gabe denac, lehenic horren contra harria aurdigui beça.
However, as they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said, “Let the person among you who has never done wrong throw the first stone at her.”
8 Eta berriz gurthuric scribatzen çuen lurrean.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 Bada hori ençun çutenean, conscientiac accusatzen cituela, bata bercearen ondoan ilkiten ciraden çaharrenetaric hassiric azquenetarano: eta Iesus bera gueldi cedin, eta artean cegoen emaztea
When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest; and Jesus was left alone with the woman in the middle of the Court.
10 Eta chuchendu cenean Iesusec nehor etzacussanean emaztea baicen, erran cieçón hari, Emazteá, non dirade hire accusaçaleac? nehorc ezau condemnatu?
Raising himself, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?”
11 Eta harc erran ceçan, Ez nehorc, Iauna. Eta erran cieçón Iesusec, Ezaut nic-ere condemnatzen: oha, eta guehiago bekaturic eztaguinala.
“No one, Sir,” she answered. “Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus “go, and do not sin again.”
12 Berriz bada Iesus minça cequien, cioela, Ni naiz munduaren arguia: niri darreitana ezta ilhumbean ebiliren, baina vkanen du vicitzeco arguia.
Jesus again addressed the people. “I am the light of the world,” he said. “The person who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13 Erran cieçoten bada Phariseuéc, Hic eure buruäz testificatzen duc, hire testimoniagea eztuc sinhesteco.
“You are bearing testimony to yourself!” exclaimed the Pharisees, “your testimony is not trustworthy.”
14 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec eta erran ciecén, Nic neurorçaz testificatzenagatic sinhesteco da ene testimoniagea: ecen badaquit nondic ethorri naicén, eta norat ioaiten naicen: baina çuec eztaquiçue nondic ethorten naicen, ez norat ioaiten naicén
“Even if I bear testimony to myself,” answered Jesus, “my testimony is trustworthy; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, nor where I am going.
15 Çuec haraguiaren arauez iugeatzen duçue, nic eztut iugeatzen nehor.
You judge by appearances; I judge no one.
16 Eta baldin iugea badeçat-ere nic, ene iugemendua eguiazco da: ecen eznaiz neuror, baina ni eta ni igorri nauen Aita.
Yet, even if I were to judge, my judgment would be trustworthy; because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.
17 Baina çuen Leguean-ere scribatua da, ecen bi guiçonen testimoniagea sinhesteco dela.
Why, in your own Law it is said that the testimony of two persons is trustworthy.
18 Ni naiz neurorçaz testificatzen dudana, eta testificatzen du niçaz ni igorri nauen Aitac.
I, who bear testimony to myself, am one, and the Father who sent me also bears testimony to me.”
19 Erraiten ceraucaten bada, Non da hire Aita? Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Ez ni nauçue eçagutzen, ez ene Aita: baldin ni eçagutzen baninduçue, ene Aita-ere eçagut cindeçaquete.
“Where is your father, then?” they asked. “You know neither me nor my Father,” replied Jesus. “If you had known me, you would have also known my Father.”
20 Hitz hauc erran citzan Iesusec thesaurerian, iracasten ari cela templean: eta nehor etzaquión lot, ceren oraino ezpaitzén ethorri haren orena
These statements Jesus made in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple Courts. Yet no one arrested him, for his time had not then come.
21 Erran ciecén bada berriz Iesusec, Ni banoa eta bilhaturen nauçue, eta çuen bekatuan hilen çarete: norat ni ioaiten bainaiz, çuec ecin çatozquete.
Jesus again spoke to the people. “I am going away,” he said, “and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin; you cannot come where I am going.”
22 Erraiten çuten bada Iuduéc, Berac hilen othe du bere buruä? erraiten baitu, Norat ni ioaiten bainaiz, çuec ecin çatozquete.
“Is he going to kill himself,” the people exclaimed, “that he says – ‘You cannot go where I am going’?”
23 Orduan erran ciecén, çuec beheretic çarete, ni garaitic: çuec mundu hunetaric çarete, ni ez naiz mundu hunetaric.
“You,” added Jesus, “are from below, I am from above; you are of this present world, I am not;
24 Halacotz erran drauçuet ecen çuen bekatuetan hilen çaretela. Ecen baldin sinhets ezpadeçaçue ni naicela hura, çuen bekatuetan hilen çarete.
and so I told you that you would die in your sins, for, unless you believe that I am what I am, you will die in your sins.”
25 Erran cieçoten bada, Hi nor aiz? Orduan erran ciecén Iesusec, Hatseandanicoa, badiotsuet.
“Who are you?” they asked. “Why ask exactly what I have been telling you?” said Jesus.
26 Anhitz gauça dut çueçaz minçatzeco eta iugeatzeco: baina ni igorri nauena eguiati da: eta nic harenganic ençun ditudan gauçác munduari erraiten drauzquiot.
“I have still much that concerns you to speak of and to pass judgment on; yet he who sent me may be trusted, and I speak to the world only of the things which I have heard from him.”
27 Etzeçaten eçagut ecen Aitaz minço çayela.
They did not understand that he meant the Father.
28 Erran ciecén bada Iesusec, Altchatu duqueçuenean guiçonaren Semea, orduan eçaguturen duçue ecen ni naicela hura, eta neure buruz eztudala deus eguiten, baina Aitac iracatsi nauen, beçala gauça hauc erraiten ditudala.
So Jesus added, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will understand that I am what I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but that I say just what the Father has taught me.
29 Ecen ni igorri nauena enequin da: eznau vtzi neuror Aitac, ceren nic haren gogaraco gauçác eguiten baititut bethiere.
Moreover, he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; for I always do what pleases him.”
30 Gauça hauc harc erraiten cituela, anhitzec sinhets ceçaten hura baithan.
While he was speaking in this way, many came to believe in him.
31 Orduan erraiten cerauen Iesusec hura sinhetsi vkan çuten Iuduey, Baldin çuec perseuera badeçaçue ene hitzean, eguiazqui ene discipulu içanen çarete.
So Jesus went on to say to those who had believed him, “If you remain constant to my message, you are truly my disciples;
32 Eta duçue eçaguturen Eguiá, eta Eguiác çuec libre eguinen çaituzte.
and you will find out the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 Ihardets cieçoten, Abrahamen hacia gaituc, eta nehor eztiagu cerbitzatu egundano: nola dioc hic gu libre içanen garela?
“We are descendants of Abraham,” was their answer, “and have never yet been in slavery to anyone. What do you mean by saying ‘you will be set free’?”
34 Ihardets ciecén Iesusec, Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauçuet ecen bekatua eguiten duen gucia bekatuaren cerbitzari dela.
“In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
35 Eta cerbitzaria ezta egoiten bethierecotz etchean, semea dago bethierecotz. (aiōn g165)
And a slave does not remain in the home always; but a son remains always. (aiōn g165)
36 Bada baldin Semeac çuec libre eguin baçaitzate, eguiazqui libre içanen çarete.
If, then, the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!
37 Badaquit ecen çuec Abrahamen hacia çaretela: baina ni hil nahiz çabiltzate, ceren ene hitzac ezpaitu lekuric çuec baithan.
I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you are seeking to put me to death, because my message finds no place in your hearts.
38 Nic erraiten dut neure Aita baithan ikussi dudana: eta çuec eguiten duçue çuen aita baithan ikussi duçuena.
I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learned from your father.”
39 Ihardets ceçaten eta erran cieçoten, Gure aita, Abraham duc. Dioste Iesusec, Baldin Abrahamen haour bacinete, Abrahamen obrác eguin cinçaqueizte.
“Our father is Abraham,” was their answer. “If you are Abraham’s children,” replied Jesus, “do what Abraham did.
40 Orain bada ni hil nahiz çabiltzate, bainaiz, Iaincoaganic ençun dudan eguia erran drauçuedan guiçona: hori Abrahamec eztu eguin.
But, as it is, you are seeking to put me to death – a man who has told you the truth as he heard it from God. Abraham did not act in that way.
41 Çuec eguiten dituçue çuen aitaren obrác. Eta erran cieçoten, Gu ezgaituc paillardiçataric iayo: aitabat diagu, baita Iaincoa.
You are doing what your own father does.” “We are not bastards,” they said, “we have one Father – God himself.”
42 Erran ciecén bada Iesusec, Baldin Iaincoa çuen aita baliz, maite ninduqueçue ni: ecen ni Iaincoaganic partitu eta ethorri naiz: eta eznaiz neure buruz ethorri, baina harc igorri nau.
“If God were your Father,” Jesus replied, “you would have loved me, for I came out from God, and now am here; and I have not come of myself, but he sent me as his messenger.
43 Cergatic ene lengoagea eztuçue aditzen? ceren ecin ençun baitiroqueçue ene hitza.
How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.
44 Çuec, aita deabruaganic çarete, eta çuen aitaren desirac eguin nahi dituçue: hura guicerhaile cen hatseandanic, eta eguián eztu perseueratu: ecen eguiaric ezta hartan. Noiz-ere erraiten baitu gueçurra, bere propritic minço da: ecen gueçurti da eta gueçurraren aita.
As for you, you are children of your father the devil, and you are determined to do what your father loves to do. He was a murderer from the first, and did not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he does what is natural to him; because he is a liar, and the father of lying.
45 Eta ceren nic eguia erraiten baitut, eznauçue sinhesten.
But, as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.
46 Norc çuetaric reprehenditzen nau ni bekatuz? eta baldin eguiá erraiten badut, ceren çuec eznauçue sinhesten?
Which of you can convict me of sin? Why then don’t you believe me, if I am speaking truth?
47 Iaincoaganic denac, Iaincoaren hitzac ençuten ditu: halacotz çuec eztituçue ençuten, ceren ezpaitzarete Iaincoaganic.
The person who comes from God listens to God’s teaching; the reason why you do not listen is because you do not come from God.”
48 Ihardets ceçaten orduan Iuduéc eta erran cieçoten, Eztugu vngui erraiten guc, ecen Samaritano aicela hi, eta deabrua duala?
“Aren’t we right, after all,” replied the people, “in saying that you are a Samaritan, and are possessed by a demon?”
49 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Eztut nic deabrua: baina dut ohoratzen, neure Aita, eta çuec desohoratzen nauçue ni.
“I am not possessed by a demon,” Jesus answered, “but I am honoring my Father; and yet you dishonor me.
50 Eta nic eztut neure gloriá bilhatzen: bada bilhatzen duenic, eta iugeatzen duenic.
Not that I am seeking honor for myself; there is one who is seeking my honor, and he decides.
51 Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, baldin nehorc ene hitza beguira badeça, herioa eztu ikussiren seculan. (aiōn g165)
In truth I tell you, if anyone lays my message to heart, he will never really die.” (aiōn g165)
52 Orduan erran cieçoten Iuduéc, Orain eçagutu diagu ecen deabrua duala: Abraham hil içan duc eta Prophetác: eta hic dioc, Baldin nehorc ene hitza beguira badeça, eztu dastaturan herioa seculan. (aiōn g165)
“Now we are sure that you are possessed by a demon,” the people replied. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets; and yet you say ‘If anyone lays my message to heart, they will never know death.’ (aiōn g165)
53 Ala hi gure aita Abraham baino handiago aiz, cein hil içan baita? Prophetac-ere hil içan dituc: nor hic eure buruä eguiten duc?
Are you greater than our ancestor Abraham, who died? And the prophets died too. Whom do you make yourself out to be?”
54 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Baldin nic glorificatzen badut neure buruä, ene gloria ezta deus: ene Aita da ni glorificatzen nauena, ceinez erraiten baituçue çuec ecen çuen Iainco dela.
“If I do honor to myself,” answered Jesus, “such honor counts for nothing. It is my Father who does me honor – and you say that he is your God;
55 Eta eztuçue eçagutzen hura: baina nic eçagutzen dut hura: eta baldin erran badeçat ecen eztudala hura eçagutzen, içanen naiz çuec irudi, gueçurti: baina badaçagut hura, eta haren hitza beguiratzen dut.
and yet you have not learned to know him; but I know him; and, if I were to say that I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him, and I lay his message to heart.
56 Abraham çuen aita aleguera cedin ikus leçançát ene egun haur: eta ikussi vkan du, eta alegueratu içan da.
Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; and he did see it, and was glad.”
57 Erran cieçoten bada Iuduéc, Berroguey eta hamar vrthe oraino eztituc, eta Abraham ikussi duc?
“You are not fifty years old yet,” the people exclaimed, “and have you seen Abraham?”
58 Erran ciecén Iesusec, Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, Abraham cedin baino lehen, ni naiz.
“In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “before Abraham existed I was.”
59 Har ceçaten orduan harri: haren contra aurthiteco: baina Iesus gorde cedin, eta ilki cedin templetic.
At this they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and left the Temple Courts.
