John 8
1 except Jesus, who went to the Mount of Olives.
Te Yesus neu sia lete Saitun.
2 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.
Mbila fefetu anan, boe ma Ana neu mia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a sodꞌan rala. Atahori hetar reu raꞌabꞌue ro E. Boe ma Ana endoꞌ nanori se.
3 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,
Leleꞌ naa, hambu inaꞌ esa fo ara humu rala e leleꞌ ana hohongge. Boe ma meser agama ro atahori Farisi hira o lea rendi e nisiꞌ Yesus. De Ara raꞌasusuuꞌ inaꞌ naa nambariiꞌ sia basa se mata nara.
4 and said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, this woman was found in the act of adultery.
Boe ma rafadꞌe Yesus rae, “Papa Meser. Inaꞌ ia hambu rala e leleꞌ ana hohongge.
5 Now Moses, in the Law, commanded us to stone such women to death; what do you say?’
Naa, tungga baꞌi Musa Hohoro-lalanen nara, hambu parendaꞌ oi, ‘atahori mana hohongge musi nene hondaꞌ fatu neu losa mate.’ Tungga Papa, na, taꞌo bee?”
6 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.
Ara rae teꞌe-sii sobꞌa E, fo ara bisa rundu salaꞌ ma raꞌatutudꞌaꞌ E. Yesus nda nataa neuꞌ ena sa, te Ana endoꞌ dakaꞌ-dakaꞌ de suraꞌ sia rae a, nendiꞌ lima uꞌu na.
7 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.’
Ara akaꞌ ratane rakandodooꞌ E. Basa ma Ana nambariiꞌ, de nafadꞌe se nae, “Taꞌo ia. Mete ma hambu mia hei nda tao mita salaꞌ sa, na, eni mana mbia fatu naꞌahuluꞌ fo hukun inaꞌ ia.”
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
Basa ma Ana endoꞌ dakaꞌ-dakaꞌ fai, de suraꞌ seluꞌ neu rae a.
9 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.
Leleꞌ ara rena oꞌolan ma, ara mae. Huu sia rala nara, ara bubꞌuluꞌ rae, sira o tao rita salaꞌ boe. Basa ma ara lao esa-esa, mia lasiꞌ losa soruꞌ ra. Doo-doo ma, helaꞌ a Yesus no inaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne sia naa.
10 Raising himself, Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?’
Boe ma Yesus nambariiꞌ fai, ma natane nae, “Hee? Ara sia bee ena? Nda hambu atahori laen sia ia, fo nau fee salaꞌ do hukun nggo, do?”
11 ‘No one, Sir,’ she answered. ‘Neither do I condemn you,’ said Jesus ‘go, and do not sin again.’
Boe ma nataa nae, “Nese, Papa.” Yesus nafadꞌe e nae, “Au o nda nau hukun nggo sa boe. Baliꞌ leo. Te musunedꞌa. Afiꞌ tao salaꞌ fai!”]
12 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.’
Yesus olaꞌ seluꞌ no atahori hetar naa ra nae, “Au ia, onaꞌ manggareloꞌ soaꞌ neu atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia. Atahori mana tungga Au nda nasodꞌa sia maꞌahatuꞌ a sa, te ana leo sia manggareloꞌ mana nendi masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ a.”
13 ‘You are bearing testimony to yourself!’ exclaimed the Pharisees, ‘your testimony is not trustworthy.’
Hambu atahori Farisi hira rasapaa rae, “Weh! Mae dadꞌi sakasii soaꞌ neu aom, do? Nda bisa sa! Huu tungga hita hohoro-lalanen, musi atahori laen dadꞌi sakasii soaꞌ neu atahori esa, nda akaꞌ atahori na mesaꞌ ne sa. Dadꞌi hai nda simbo, ma nda nau mimihere sa.”
14 ‘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.
Yesus nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia. Mae Au dadꞌi sakasii soaꞌ neu ao Ngga, te oꞌola Ngga naa, tebꞌe. Huu Au mesaꞌ nggo bubꞌuluꞌ tebꞌe Au laoꞌ mia bee uma, boe ma ae bee uu. Hei nda bubꞌuluꞌ Au mia bee uma sa, boe ma nda bubꞌuluꞌ dei fo Au bee uu sa boe.
15 You judge by appearances; I judge no one.
Hei nile atahori mendiꞌ atahori timba-tai na. Te Au nda pake atahori timba-tain fo nile atahori esa sa boe.
16 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.
Mete ma Au nile atahori, Au timba-tai ngga naa, ndaa. Huu Au nda nile mesaꞌ nggo sa, te Au tao basa-bꞌasa naa ra uꞌubꞌue o Ama ngga mana denu Auꞌ a.
17 Why, in your own Law it is said that the testimony of two persons is trustworthy.
Afiꞌ liliiꞌ. Huu nenesuraꞌ sia hei hohoro-lalane agama ma oi, ‘Mete ma hambu atahori sakasii rua olaꞌ ona esaꞌ dalaꞌ esa, na, dei fo feꞌe nenesimbo tungga hita hohoro-lalanen.’
18 I, who bear testimony to myself, am one, and the Father who sent me also bears testimony to me.’
Dadꞌi nda akaꞌ Au mesaꞌ nggo dadꞌi sakasii soꞌal ao ngga sa. Huu Ama ngga mana denu Auꞌ a o dadꞌi sakasii ma olaꞌ soꞌal Au boe.”
19 ‘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.’
Ara ratane rae, “Amam naa, sia bee?” Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Hei nda mihine tebꞌe Au sa. Hei o nda mihine Au Ama ngga sa boe. Huu mete ma hei mihine tebꞌe Au, tantu mihine Eni boe.”
20 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.
Basa ia ra, Yesus nafadꞌe leleꞌ Ana nanori sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a, deka-deka sia mamanaꞌ fo radꞌuru rendiꞌ neu doi kolete. Nda hambu esa humu E sa boe, huu fain nda feꞌe losa sa.
21 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.’
Yesus tute oꞌolan mbali se nae, “Dei fo Au lao hela nggi, uu sia mamanaꞌ laen. Dei fo ama sangga Au, te nda hambu sa, huu hei nda miꞌena hak mii sia mamanaꞌ naa sa. De mete ma hei mate, naa ama feꞌe lemba-misaa sala-kilum.”
22 ‘Is he going to kill himself,’ the people exclaimed, ‘that he says – “You cannot go where I am going”?’
Basa ma atahori Yahudi ra malangga nara esa natane esa rae, “Ana olaꞌ saa ia? Ana nae tao nisa aon, do? Huu Ana oi, ‘Hei nda bisa mii sia mamanaꞌ naa sa.’”
23 ‘You,’ added Jesus, ‘are from below, I am from above; you are of this present world, I am not;
Boe ma Yesus nafadꞌe mbali se nae, “Hei mia raefafoꞌ sia raeꞌ. Te Au mia lalai sia ataꞌ. Hei atahori mia raefafoꞌ ia. Te Au atahori nda mia raefafoꞌ ia sa.
24 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.’
Naeni de Au ufadꞌe faꞌ ra ae, mete ma hei mate, ama feꞌe lemba-misaa sala-kilu mara. Huu mete ma hei nda mimihere mae, Au ia, naeni Kristus, fo Lamatualain haitua nemaꞌ a ena, dei fo hei mate, na tantu ama feꞌe lemba-misaa sala-kilu mara.”
25 ‘Who are you?’ they asked. ‘Why ask exactly what I have been telling you?’ said Jesus.
Basa ma ratane rae, “Weh! Ho ia, seka?” Yesus nataa nae, “Au ufadꞌe memaꞌ mia fefeun ena.
26 ‘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.’
Hambu dalaꞌ hetar fo Au bisa ufadꞌe soꞌal hei. Hei sala mara naeꞌ boe. Te Au nda nau utudꞌu dalaꞌ naa ra sa. Naa, Mana denu Au uma sia ia na, mete ma Ana olaꞌ, Ana olaꞌ akaꞌ ndoo-tetuꞌ a. Ma Au ufadꞌe neu akaꞌ atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia, dala-dalaꞌ fo Au rena mia Eni ena.”
27 They did not understand that he meant the Father.
(Eni masud na, Aman sia sorga. Te ara nda rahine masud na sa boe).
28 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.
Boe ma Yesus olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Dei fo mete ma hei londa nggangge Au, Atahori Matetuꞌ ia, sia hau ngganggeꞌ ata, dei fo hei mihine mae, Au ia, naeni Kristus. Au nda tao saa-saa mia Au ao ngga sa, te Au unori akaꞌ dala-dalaꞌ fo Ama ngga sia sorga nanori neu Au ena.
29 Moreover, he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; for I always do what pleases him.’
Mana denu Au a, naꞌabꞌue no Au nakandooꞌ a. Ana nda parna hela nita Au mesaꞌ nggo sa, huu Au akaꞌ tao tungga Eni hihii-nanaun.”
30 While he was speaking in this way, many came to believe in him.
Leleꞌ Yesus nafadꞌe dalaꞌ ia ra, ma atahori hetar ramahere E boe.
31 So Jesus went on to say to those who had believed him, ‘If you remain constant to my message, you are truly my disciples;
Basa ma, Yesus nafadꞌe neu atahori Yahudi ra mana ramahere neu Eni a nae, “Mete ma hei misodꞌa nenepaꞌaꞌ mo Au Dedꞌea-oꞌola ngga ra, ma hei minori mikindoo mia Au, na, hei dadꞌi Au ana mana tungga ngga tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ.
32 and you will find out the truth, and the truth will set you free.’
Basa fo, hei bisa bubꞌuluꞌ dala-dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra. Ma dala-dala ndoo-tetuꞌ naa, mana mboꞌiꞌ nggi, de ama nda afiꞌ dadꞌi ate sa ena.”
33 ‘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”?’
Basa ma ara rasapaa rae, “Hee! Hai ia, nda atahori aten sa! Huu hai ia, baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin! Dadꞌi taꞌo bee de olaꞌ mae, dei fo hai nenemboꞌit?”
34 ‘In truth I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
Boe ma Yesus nafadꞌe neu se nae, “Au oꞌola ngga naa, tebꞌe. Huu basa atahori fo rasodꞌaꞌ tao salaꞌ ra, dadꞌi onaꞌ ate esa akaꞌ tungga-tunggaꞌ a salaꞌ hihii-nanaun.
Te eni biasa na, taꞌo ia: ate ra nda biasa simbo hata-hetoꞌ mia malangga sa. Huu akaꞌ malangga anan mana simbo hata-hetoꞌ naa. (aiōn g165)
36 If, then, the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!
Dadꞌi mete ma Au, naeni Lamatualain Anan, fee ambon neu sala-kilu mara, na, hei nenemboꞌit ena, ma nda dadꞌi salaꞌ a aten sa ena. No taꞌo naa, hei nenemboꞌit tebꞌe ena, de sudꞌi boe tungga salaꞌ a hihii-nanaun fai!
37 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.
Au bubꞌuluꞌ hei ia, naeni baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin. Mae onaꞌ naa boe o, hei akaꞌ sangga-sangga dalaꞌ fo mae tao misa Au, huu ama nda nau simbo Au nenori ngga sa. Huu sia rala mara, nda hambu mamanaꞌ fo mbedaꞌ Au Dedꞌea-oꞌola ngga sa ena.
38 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.’
Au ufadꞌe dala-dalaꞌ fo itaꞌ ra, fo Ama ngga natudꞌu neu Au ena. Ma hei tao tungga dala-dalaꞌ fo hei rena mia ama mara.”
39 ‘Our father is Abraham,’ was their answer. ‘If you are Abraham’s children,’ replied Jesus, ‘do what Abraham did.
Ara rataa rae, “Hai ia, baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin!” Yesus nafadꞌe nae, “Mete ma hei dadꞌi baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin tebꞌe, na, hei tao tungga e.
40 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.
Te baꞌi Abraham nda tao nita deꞌulakaꞌ onaꞌ hei taoꞌ naa sa! Huu hei akaꞌ sangga dalaꞌ fo mae tao misa Au. Tao-tao te Au ia, mana ufadꞌe neu nggi dala-dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a, fo Au rena mia Lamatualain.
41 You are doing what your own father does.’ ‘We are not bastards,’ they said, ‘we have one Father – God himself.’
Hei tatao mara, memaꞌ nda nela naꞌadooꞌ mia hei amam sa.” Te ara rasapaa rae, “Hee! Hai ia, ana nene hengge neeꞌ! Afiꞌ mae, hai ia, ana tias! Huu hai Amam, akaꞌ esaꞌ a, naeni Lamatualain!”
42 ‘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.
Boe ma Yesus nafadꞌe se nae, “Te mete ma Lamatualain tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ dadꞌi hei Amam, tantu hei sue Au. Huu Au uma mia E, ma Au sia ia. Au nda uma tunggaꞌ a hihii-nanau ngga sa. Te Au uma, huu Eni mana denu Au.
43 How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.
Taꞌo bee de hei nda mihine Au oꞌola ngga sa? Mbei ma hei nda nau rena, sa!
44 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.
Hei ia, mataꞌ sa onaꞌ nitu ra malanggan. Huu hei hiiꞌ a tao tungga eni hihii-nanaun! Mia fefeun, eni mana tao nisa atahori. Eni labꞌan dala ndoo-tetuꞌ ra, ana tola hendi basa ndoo-tetuꞌ ra. Mete ma ana peko-lelekoꞌ, naa memaꞌ eni biasa na. Huu eni mana peko-lelekoꞌ, ma mana ombo-koson huun.
45 But, as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.
Au ia, mana ufadꞌe dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a. Te hei nda mimihere Au sa.
46 Which of you can convict me of sin? Why then don’t you believe me, if I am speaking truth?
Sobꞌa! Seka mia hei bisa natudꞌu nalaꞌ bukti nae, Au tao salaꞌ ena? Heran, e! Mete ma Au olaꞌ ndoo-tetuꞌ, taoꞌ bee de hei nda nau mimihere Au sa?
47 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.’
Naa, atahori mana laoꞌ mia Lamatualain rena Dedꞌea-oꞌolan. Te hei ia, nda laoꞌ mia Lamatualain sa, naeni de hei nda hii rena Au sa.”
48 ‘Aren’t we right, after all,’ replied the people, ‘in saying that you are a Samaritan, and are possessed by a demon?’
Atahori Yahudi ra malangga nara, rataa rae, “Weh! Hai olaꞌ naa tebꞌe ena. Huu hai mifadꞌe ena, Ho ia, nda atahori Yahudi matetuꞌ sa, te Ho atahori Samaria. Ho o nitu a sia ralam ena!”
49 ‘I am not possessed by a demon,’ Jesus answered, ‘but I am honouring my Father; and yet you dishonour me.
Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Nitu a nda sia Au rala ngga sa. Au fee hada-hormat neu Ama ngga sia sorga, te hei nda fee hada-hormat neu Au sa.
50 Not that I am seeking honour for myself; there is one who is seeking my honour, and he decides.
Au nda soꞌu ao ngga fo utudꞌu manaseli ngga sa. Te hambu Esa nau natudꞌu Au manaseli ngga. Hela Eni mana naꞌetuꞌ nae Au oꞌola ngga nda, do hokoꞌ.
Au Dedꞌea-oꞌola ngga, memaꞌ tebꞌe! Ma, atahori mana rena ma tao tungga Dedꞌea oꞌola ngga, nda mate sa.” (aiōn g165)
52 ‘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)
Rena onaꞌ naa, ma atahori Yahudi ra malangga nara rafadꞌe E rae, “Ia naa, hai bubꞌuluꞌ ho olaꞌ onaꞌ muluꞌ e, huu nitu a sia ralam ena. Baꞌi Abraham mate ena. Lamatualain mana ola-ola dalahulu nara, o mate ena boe. Te ho mae, ‘atahori mana rena ma tao tungga Au Dedꞌea-oꞌola ngga ra, nda mate sa.’ Memaꞌ ho mumulu ena! (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our ancestor Abraham, who died? And the prophets died too. Whom do you make yourself out to be?’
Do duꞌa mae ho manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ baꞌi Abraham mana mateꞌ a? Do, Ho manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ Lamatualain mana ola-olan fo mana mateꞌ ra ena do? Ho duꞌa, mae Ho ia, seka?”
54 ‘If I do honour to myself,’ answered Jesus, ‘such honour counts for nothing. It is my Father who does me honour – and you say that he is your God;
Boe ma Yesus nataa, nae “Mete ma Au mana soꞌu Ao ngga, atahori nda nau simbo sa. Tao-tao te, Au nda soꞌu-soꞌuꞌ ao ngga sa, te Ama ngga mana soꞌu nanaru Au. Eni fo hei mitaa mae, hei Lamatualain ma.
55 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.
Te hei nda mihine E sa. Au uhine no maloleꞌ. Mete ma Au ae nda uhine maloleꞌ E sa, na, Au mana ombo-koson, onaꞌ hei boe. Te Au uhine maloleꞌ E, ma Au o tao tungga Dedꞌea-oꞌolan boe.
56 Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; and he did see it, and was glad.’
Hei baꞌi Abraham ma ralan namahoꞌo seli, leleꞌ ana nahani nae nita Au uꞌuma ngga. Memaꞌ Ana nita ena, de ana maꞌahee.”
57 ‘You are not fifty years old yet,’ the people exclaimed, ‘and have you seen Abraham?’
Atahori Yahudi ra malangga nara rafadꞌe rae, “Ho nda feꞌe too lima nulu sa boe! Te mae ho mita baꞌi Abraham ena. Tebꞌe, do?”
58 ‘In truth I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘before Abraham existed I was.’
Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Tebꞌe! Huu baꞌi Abraham nda feꞌe sia sa, te Au sia ena.”
59 At this they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and left the Temple Courts.
Boe ma, atahori naa ra haꞌi fatu fo rae honda E, huu Ana soꞌu Aon onaꞌ Lamatualain. Te Ana laoꞌ bambi-bambi de dea neu mia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a sodꞌan.
