约翰福音 8
1 于是各人都回家去了；耶稣却往橄榄山去，
but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 清早又回到殿里。众百姓都到他那里去，他就坐下，教训他们。
Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
3 文士和法利赛人带着一个行淫时被拿的妇人来，叫她站在当中，
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
4 就对耶稣说：“夫子，这妇人是正行淫之时被拿的。
they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
5 摩西在律法上吩咐我们把这样的妇人用石头打死。你说该把她怎么样呢？”
Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
6 他们说这话，乃试探耶稣，要得着告他的把柄。耶稣却弯着腰，用指头在地上画字。
They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 他们还是不住地问他，耶稣就直起腰来，对他们说：“你们中间谁是没有罪的，谁就可以先拿石头打她。”
But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin amongst you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
8 于是又弯着腰，用指头在地上画字。
Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
9 他们听见这话，就从老到少，一个一个地都出去了，只剩下耶稣一人，还有那妇人仍然站在当中。
They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
10 耶稣就直起腰来，对她说：“妇人，那些人在哪里呢？没有人定你的罪吗？”
Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11 她说：“主啊，没有。”耶稣说：“我也不定你的罪。去吧，从此不要再犯罪了！”
She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
12 耶稣又对众人说：“我是世界的光。跟从我的，就不在黑暗里走，必要得着生命的光。”
Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13 法利赛人对他说：“你是为自己作见证，你的见证不真。”
The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
14 耶稣说：“我虽然为自己作见证，我的见证还是真的；因我知道我从哪里来，往哪里去；你们却不知道我从哪里来，往哪里去。
Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.
15 你们是以外貌判断人，我却不判断人。
You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16 就是判断人，我的判断也是真的；因为不是我独自在这里，还有差我来的父与我同在。
Even if I do judge, my judgement is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 你们的律法上也记着说：‘两个人的见证是真的。’
It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 我是为自己作见证，还有差我来的父也是为我作见证。”
I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
19 他们就问他说：“你的父在哪里？”耶稣回答说：“你们不认识我，也不认识我的父；若是认识我，也就认识我的父。”
They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
20 这些话是耶稣在殿里的库房、教训人时所说的，也没有人拿他，因为他的时候还没有到。
Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 耶稣又对他们说：“我要去了，你们要找我，并且你们要死在罪中。我所去的地方，你们不能到。”
Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come.”
22 犹太人说：“他说‘我所去的地方，你们不能到’，难道他要自尽吗？”
The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
23 耶稣对他们说：“你们是从下头来的，我是从上头来的；你们是属这世界的，我不是属这世界的。
He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24 所以我对你们说，你们要死在罪中。你们若不信我是基督，必要死在罪中。”
I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
25 他们就问他说：“你是谁？”耶稣对他们说：“就是我从起初所告诉你们的。
They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
26 我有许多事讲论你们，判断你们；但那差我来的是真的，我在他那里所听见的，我就传给世人。”
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”
27 他们不明白耶稣是指着父说的。
They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
28 所以耶稣说：“你们举起人子以后，必知道我是基督，并且知道我没有一件事是凭着自己做的。我说这些话乃是照着父所教训我的。
Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
29 那差我来的是与我同在；他没有撇下我独自在这里，因为我常做他所喜悦的事。”
He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
30 耶稣说这话的时候，就有许多人信他。
As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31 耶稣对信他的犹太人说：“你们若常常遵守我的道，就真是我的门徒；
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32 你们必晓得真理，真理必叫你们得以自由。”
You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
33 他们回答说：“我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔，从来没有作过谁的奴仆。你怎么说‘你们必得以自由’呢？”
They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
34 耶稣回答说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，所有犯罪的就是罪的奴仆。
Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
36 所以天父的儿子若叫你们自由，你们就真自由了。
If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
37 我知道你们是亚伯拉罕的子孙，你们却想要杀我，因为你们心里容不下我的道。
I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 我所说的是在我父那里看见的；你们所行的是在你们的父那里听见的。”
I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
39 他们说：“我们的父就是亚伯拉罕。”耶稣说：“你们若是亚伯拉罕的儿子，就必行亚伯拉罕所行的事。
They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
40 我将在 神那里所听见的真理告诉了你们，现在你们却想要杀我，这不是亚伯拉罕所行的事。
But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
41 你们是行你们父所行的事。”他们说：“我们不是从淫乱生的；我们只有一位父，就是 神。”
You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
42 耶稣说：“倘若 神是你们的父，你们就必爱我；因为我本是出于 神，也是从 神而来，并不是由着自己来，乃是他差我来。
Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.
43 你们为什么不明白我的话呢？无非是因你们不能听我的道。
Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
44 你们是出于你们的父魔鬼，你们父的私欲你们偏要行。他从起初是杀人的，不守真理，因他心里没有真理。他说谎是出于自己；因他本来是说谎的，也是说谎之人的父。
You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
45 我将真理告诉你们，你们就因此不信我。
But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
46 你们中间谁能指证我有罪呢？我既然将真理告诉你们，为什么不信我呢？
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 出于 神的，必听 神的话；你们不听，因为你们不是出于 神。”
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
48 犹太人回答说：“我们说你是撒马利亚人，并且是鬼附着的，这话岂不正对吗？”
Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
49 耶稣说：“我不是鬼附着的；我尊敬我的父，你们倒轻慢我。
Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honour my Father and you dishonour me.
50 我不求自己的荣耀，有一位为我求荣耀、定是非的。
But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.” (aiōn g165)
Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’ (aiōn g165)
53 难道你比我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕还大吗？他死了，众先知也死了，你将自己当作什么人呢？”
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
54 耶稣回答说：“我若荣耀自己，我的荣耀就算不得什么；荣耀我的乃是我的父，就是你们所说是你们的 神。
Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
55 你们未曾认识他；我却认识他。我若说不认识他，我就是说谎的，像你们一样；但我认识他，也遵守他的道。
You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.
56 你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕欢欢喜喜地仰望我的日子，既看见了就快乐。”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
57 犹太人说：“你还没有五十岁，岂见过亚伯拉罕呢？”
The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
58 耶稣说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，还没有亚伯拉罕就有了我。”
Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
59 于是他们拿石头要打他；耶稣却躲藏，从殿里出去了。
Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.
