Joan 8
1 Baina Iesus ioan cedin Oliuatzetaco mendirát.
But Jesus went [with us disciples] to Olive [Tree] Hill [and we stayed near there that night].
2 Eta arguiaren beguian berriz ethor cedin templera, eta populu gucia ethor cedin harengana: eta iarriric cegoela iracasten cituen hec.
Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple [courtyard]. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.
3 Orduan duté ekarten harengana Scribéc eta Phariseuéc emazte adulterioan hatzaman-bat: eta hura artean eçarriric,
Then men who taught the [Jewish] laws and some of [SYN] the Pharisee [religious group] brought a woman to him. She was seized {[They] had [arranged to] seize her} while she was having sex with a man who was not her husband. They made her stand up in front of the group [that was listening to Jesus].
4 Diotsate, Magistruá, emazte haur hatzaman içan duc adulterioco eguitate berean.
Then they said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was seized {[we] seized this woman} while she was having sex with a man who is not her husband.
5 Eta Leguean Moysesec manatu diraucuc hunelacoac lapida ditecen: hic bada cer dioc?
Moses commanded us in the laws that [he gave us] that we should throw stones at such women [and kill them]. So what do you say [we should do]?”
6 Eta haur erraiten çuten hura tentatzen çutela, hura cerçaz accusa lutençát. Baina Iesusec beheiti gurthuric erhiaz scribatzen çuen lurrean.
They asked this question as a trap so that they could accuse him. [If he said that they should not kill her, they would shame him for disobeying the law of Moses. If he said that they should kill her, they could accuse him to the Roman governor]. But Jesus bent down and wrote something 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.
While they continued to question him, he stood up and said to them, “Whichever one of you has never sinned can be the first one to start throwing stones at her.”
8 Eta berriz gurthuric scribatzen çuen lurrean.
Then he stooped down and wrote [some more] 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
After they heard what he said, those [who were questioning him] went away, one by one, the older ones first [and then the younger ones, knowing they were all sinners]. Finally only Jesus was there, along with the woman.
10 Eta chuchendu cenean Iesusec nehor etzacussanean emaztea baicen, erran cieçón hari, Emazteá, non dirade hire accusaçaleac? nehorc ezau condemnatu?
Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”
11 Eta harc erran ceçan, Ez nehorc, Iauna. Eta erran cieçón Iesusec, Ezaut nic-ere condemnatzen: oha, eta guehiago bekaturic eztaguinala.
She said, “No, sir, no one.” Then Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go [home] now, and do not continue your sinful [life] any longer!”]
12 Berriz bada Iesus minça cequien, cioela, Ni naiz munduaren arguia: niri darreitana ezta ilhumbean ebiliren, baina vkanen du vicitzeco arguia.
Jesus spoke to the people again. He said, “I am [like] a light [MET] for [all the people in] [MTY] the world. [Just like a light reveals what has been in the darkness] [MET], [I reveal God’s truth to them]. Those who walk in the darkness [are unaware of what is around them]. But those who become my disciples will always be aware [of God’s truth] [MET]. They will have my light [which shows them how to have eternal] life.”
13 Erran cieçoten bada Phariseuéc, Hic eure buruäz testificatzen duc, hire testimoniagea eztuc sinhesteco.
So the Pharisees said to him, “You are just telling about yourself! [Since there is no one else to verify these things that you say about yourself], [we] do not [need to accept that] what you say is true.”
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
Jesus replied, “Even if I were the [only one to] say these things about myself, what I say is true, because I know that I came from [heaven], and I know that I am going [back to heaven]. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
15 Çuec haraguiaren arauez iugeatzen duçue, nic eztut iugeatzen nehor.
You judge people according to human standards. [The reason] that I am [here is] not (to condemn people/to say that I will punish people) [for their sins].
16 Eta baldin iugea badeçat-ere nic, ene iugemendua eguiazco da: ecen eznaiz neuror, baina ni eta ni igorri nauen Aita.
But if I did judge [people], what I decided would be correct, because I am not the [only] one [who will decide those things]. I and the one who sent me will both decide.
17 Baina çuen Leguean-ere scribatua da, ecen bi guiçonen testimoniagea sinhesteco dela.
It is written {[Moses] wrote} in your law that if [at least] two people testify that [some event has happened], [people should consider] that what they say is true.
18 Ni naiz neurorçaz testificatzen dudana, eta testificatzen du niçaz ni igorri nauen Aitac.
I am telling you about myself, and the other one who is telling you about me is [my] Father who sent me. [So you should believe that what we declare is true].”
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.
Then they asked him, “[If you have a] father whom [we can question about you], where is he?” Jesus replied, “You do not know [who] I [really am]. If you knew who I [really am], you would know who my Father is also.”
20 Hitz hauc erran citzan Iesusec thesaurerian, iracasten ari cela templean: eta nehor etzaquión lot, ceren oraino ezpaitzén ethorri haren orena
He said these things when he was in the Temple [courtyard], near the place where the people put their offerings. [This was also very close to the place where the Jewish council met]. But no one seized him to arrest him, because it was not yet time [MTY] [for him to suffer and die].
21 Erran ciecén bada berriz Iesusec, Ni banoa eta bilhaturen nauçue, eta çuen bekatuan hilen çarete: norat ni ioaiten bainaiz, çuec ecin çatozquete.
Jesus also said to them, “I [will soon be] going away. Then [at the end of your life] you will seek me, but you will die [without God forgiving] your sins. Where I will go, you will not be able to come.”
22 Erraiten çuten bada Iuduéc, Berac hilen othe du bere buruä? erraiten baitu, Norat ni ioaiten bainaiz, çuec ecin çatozquete.
So the Jewish [leaders] said among themselves, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that the reason that he said, ‘Where I go, you will not be able to come’?”
23 Orduan erran ciecén, çuec beheretic çarete, ni garaitic: çuec mundu hunetaric çarete, ni ez naiz mundu hunetaric.
But Jesus continued by saying to them, “You were born here in this world, but I came from heaven. You belong to those who are opposed to God [MTY]. I do not belong to them.
24 Halacotz erran drauçuet ecen çuen bekatuetan hilen çaretela. Ecen baldin sinhets ezpadeçaçue ni naicela hura, çuen bekatuetan hilen çarete.
I told you that you will die [without God forgiving] your sins. If you do not believe that I am [who I say that I am], you will die [without God forgiving] your sins.”
25 Erran cieçoten bada, Hi nor aiz? Orduan erran ciecén Iesusec, Hatseandanicoa, badiotsuet.
So they said to him, “You! Who do you think you are?” Jesus said to them, “Ever since I began [teaching], I have been telling you who I am!
26 Anhitz gauça dut çueçaz minçatzeco eta iugeatzeco: baina ni igorri nauena eguiati da: eta nic harenganic ençun ditudan gauçác munduari erraiten drauzquiot.
I could judge you and say that [you are guilty of] many things. But instead, [I will say only] what the one who sent me tells me to say. [What he says] is true, and I tell the people in the world [MTY] what I have heard from him.”
27 Etzeçaten eçagut ecen Aitaz minço çayela.
They did not understand that he was talking about his Father [in heaven].
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 said, “I am the one who came down from heaven, but when you lift me up [on a cross to kill me], you will know who I am. You will also know that I do not do anything with my own [authority]. Instead, I say just what [my] Father has taught me.
29 Ecen ni igorri nauena enequin da: eznau vtzi neuror Aitac, ceren nic haren gogaraco gauçác eguiten baititut bethiere.
He is the one who sent me, and he helps me. Because I always do the things that please him, he has never abandoned me.”
30 Gauça hauc harc erraiten cituela, anhitzec sinhets ceçaten hura baithan.
As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he [was] ([from God/the Messiah]).
31 Orduan erraiten cerauen Iesusec hura sinhetsi vkan çuten Iuduey, Baldin çuec perseuera badeçaçue ene hitzean, eguiazqui ene discipulu içanen çarete.
Then Jesus said to the Jews who now said they believed in him, “If you continue to [live in accordance with] my message, you will truly be my disciples.
32 Eta duçue eçaguturen Eguiá, eta Eguiác çuec libre eguinen çaituzte.
Then you will know [God’s] truth, and as a result of [your believing his] truth, he [PRS] will free you [from being controlled by the one who has made you his slaves].”
33 Ihardets cieçoten, Abrahamen hacia gaituc, eta nehor eztiagu cerbitzatu egundano: nola dioc hic gu libre içanen garela?
They replied to him, “We are descendants of Abraham. We have never been anyone’s slaves. So why do you say [we will] be freed [from being someone’s slaves]?”
34 Ihardets ciecén Iesusec, Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauçuet ecen bekatua eguiten duen gucia bekatuaren cerbitzari dela.
Jesus replied, “Listen carefully to what I am going to tell you. All those who continue to sin are [forced to obey] their sinful desires [MET], [just like] a slave [is forced to obey his master].
A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever. [Similarly, you say you are members of God’s family because you are descendants of Abraham, but really, because you are like slaves of your sinful desires, you are no longer permanent members of God’s family]. (aiōn g165)
36 Bada baldin Semeac çuec libre eguin baçaitzate, eguiazqui libre içanen çarete.
So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.
37 Badaquit ecen çuec Abrahamen hacia çaretela: baina ni hil nahiz çabiltzate, ceren ene hitzac ezpaitu lekuric çuec baithan.
I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. But you are trying to kill me because [you are not] allowing [PRS] my message to continue [to change] your inner being.
38 Nic erraiten dut neure Aita baithan ikussi dudana: eta çuec eguiten duçue çuen aita baithan ikussi duçuena.
I am telling you what I saw when I was with [my] Father. But you do the things that you have heard from your father.”
39 Ihardets ceçaten eta erran cieçoten, Gure aita, Abraham duc. Dioste Iesusec, Baldin Abrahamen haour bacinete, Abrahamen obrác eguin cinçaqueizte.
They replied to him, “Abraham is our ancestor.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s descendants, [your character would be like Abraham’s character, and] you would do [good] things like Abraham did.
40 Orain bada ni hil nahiz çabiltzate, bainaiz, Iaincoaganic ençun dudan eguia erran drauçuedan guiçona: hori Abrahamec eztu eguin.
I have been telling you the truth that I heard from God, but you are trying to kill me. Abraham did not do things like that.
41 Çuec eguiten dituçue çuen aitaren obrác. Eta erran cieçoten, Gu ezgaituc paillardiçataric iayo: aitabat diagu, baita Iaincoa.
No! You are doing the things that your [real] father does.” They said to him, “[We do not know about you, but] we are not illegitimate children. And [spiritually], we have only one Father. That is God, and you do not know who your father is!”
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.
Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, because I came from God, and now I have come here [to this world]. My coming was not (because I [appointed] myself/with my own [authority]). He sent me.
43 Cergatic ene lengoagea eztuçue aditzen? ceren ecin ençun baitiroqueçue ene hitza.
(And I will tell you why you do not understand what I say./Do you know why you do not understand what I say?) [RHQ] It is because you do not want to accept 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.
You belong to your father, (the devil/Satan), and you desire to do what he wants. He has [caused people to become] murderers from the time when [people] first [sinned]. He has abandoned [God’s] truth because he is a liar by his nature. Whenever he lies, he is speaking according to his [nature], because he is a liar and is the one who originates [MET] all lies.
45 Eta ceren nic eguia erraiten baitut, eznauçue sinhesten.
But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!
46 Norc çuetaric reprehenditzen nau ni bekatuz? eta baldin eguiá erraiten badut, ceren çuec eznauçue sinhesten?
[Since I have never sinned], (none of you can show that I have sinned./can anyone among you show that I have sinned?) [RHQ] So, since I tell you the truth, (there is no good reason for your not believing me!/why is it that you do not believe me?) [RHQ]
47 Iaincoaganic denac, Iaincoaren hitzac ençuten ditu: halacotz çuec eztituçue ençuten, ceren ezpaitzarete Iaincoaganic.
Those who belong to God habitually obey God’s message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”
48 Ihardets ceçaten orduan Iuduéc eta erran cieçoten, Eztugu vngui erraiten guc, ecen Samaritano aicela hi, eta deabrua duala?
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied to him, “(We are certainly right by saying that you [believe what is false as] the Samaritans [do]!/Are we not right by saying that you [believe what is false as] the Samaritans [do]?) [RHQ] And that (a demon/an evil spirit) [controls] you!”
49 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Eztut nic deabrua: baina dut ohoratzen, neure Aita, eta çuec desohoratzen nauçue ni.
Jesus replied, “A demon does not [control] me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!
50 Eta nic eztut neure gloriá bilhatzen: bada bilhatzen duenic, eta iugeatzen duenic.
I am not trying to honor myself. There is someone else who desires [to honor me], and he is the one who will judge [whether it is I who am telling the truth or whether it is you who are telling the truth].
51 Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, baldin nehorc ene hitza beguira badeça, herioa eztu ikussiren seculan. (aiōn g165)
But the truth is that anyone who obeys what I say will never 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)
Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [thinking that he was talking about ordinary death and not about spiritual death], said to him, “Now we are sure that a demon [controls] you! Abraham and the prophets died [long ago]! But you say that anyone who obeys what you teach will never die! (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?
(You are certainly not greater than our ancestor Abraham!/Do you think you are greater than our ancestor Abraham?) [RHQ] He died, and all the prophets died, so who do you think you are [by saying something like that]?”
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.
Jesus replied, “If I were honoring myself, that would be worthless. My Father is the one who you say is your God. He is the one who honors me.
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.
Although you do not know him, I know him [and have a close relationship with him]. If I said that I did not know him, I would be a liar like you are. But I know him, and I obey what he says.
56 Abraham çuen aita aleguera cedin ikus leçançát ene egun haur: eta ikussi vkan du, eta alegueratu içan da.
Your ancestor Abraham was happy when he thought about what I would [do during] my life [MTY]. [It was as though] he saw that, and was happy.”
57 Erran cieçoten bada Iuduéc, Berroguey eta hamar vrthe oraino eztituc, eta Abraham ikussi duc?
Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to him, “You are not 50 years old yet! So (you certainly did not see him!/how could you have seen him?) [RHQ] [Because he died long ago]!”
58 Erran ciecén Iesusec, Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, Abraham cedin baino lehen, ni naiz.
Jesus said to them, “The truth is that I existed before Abraham was born!”
59 Har ceçaten orduan harri: haren contra aurthiteco: baina Iesus gorde cedin, eta ilki cedin templetic.
So, [because they were very angry about Jesus thus saying that he] ([had eternally existed/was equal with God]), they picked up stones to throw at him [to kill him]. But [Jesus] caused them not to be able to see him, and he left the Temple courtyard.
