< John 8 >

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Erah lih adi mirep neng nok ni wangta, eno Jisu ah Olip Kong ni wangta.
2 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.
Erah saalih adi rangkhano di heh Rangteenook ni ngaakwangta. Mih loongtang ih heh ah kooktong rum kano, chooktong ano phang nyootsoot rumta.
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
Hootthe nyootsootte loong nyia Pharisi loong ih minuh nusiit mih damdi roomjup arah nopsiit wanrum haano, neng loong ngathong ni chap thuk rumta.
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
[Nyootte[ neng loong ah ih Jisu suh baat rumta, [arah nuh ah mih damdi roomjup arah japjoot dowa.
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
Seng Hootthe ni Moses ih baatta erah likhiik minuh ah jong ih tekpat theng. Emah ang abah, an ih mamah li uh?]
6 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.
Neng loong ah ih erah Jisu ah mat ih joot suh li rumta, jen deejoot esuh ngeh ah. Enoothong Jisu ah ngupbon ano heh laktiik ih hani raangta.
7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
Erah di chap rum ano Jisu suh chengroh ih rumta, eno toonchap ano neng loong asuh baat rumta, [Sen loong dung dowa amadi tuk ih rangdah lataat dah kan mina ah ih jaakhothoon erah nuh ah jong ih phang pat an.]
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Erah lih adi kotbon ano hani we raangta.
9 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.
Erah chaat rum ano, neng loong ah, wasiit wasiit eh, doksoon rumta, mihakthoon ah jaakhoh doksoonta, eno Jisu heh luulu thiinhaat rumta doh minuh ah heh reeni chaproh eta.
10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
Jisu ah toonchap ano erah nuh asuh liita, [Maako ih rumla? An dut haatte o bah uh daktong tam ela?]
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
[Wasiit uh amuh, chuupha,” minuh ah ih ngaakbaatta. “Ese, emah ang abah ah,” Jisu ih ngaak liita, “Ngah ih uh tah dut haatra. Kah uh, enoothong nak kah dah uh.”]
12 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.”
Pharisi loong ah damdi Jisu we roongwaanta. [Mongrep raang ih ngah ah weephaak,” Jisu ih liita. [O mina ih nga lih phanhang heh jiinnah roidong weephaak ah je ah eno heh mabah uh laamang nah takhoomka.]
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
Pharisi loong ah ih Jisu suh li rumta, [Amadi an ih an teeteewah tiit baat hu; an jenglu jun ih tiim uh tadong jatthuk ri.]
14 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.
“Emah tah angka” Jisu ih ngaakli rumta, [ngah ih nga teewah tiit baat ang bah uh, ngah ih tiimjih baat hang erah amiisak tiit, tiimnge liidi ngah ih jat ehang ngah manawa ra halang nyia manah wang ang. Sen loong ih tajatkan ngah manawa ra halang nyia manah wang ang.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
Sen ih mina hansi jun ih dande han; ngah ih bah o uh tadande kang.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
Enoothong ngah ih emah mok ih thengtang bah, ngah ih dande hang ah epun ang thengta, tiimnge liidi adi nga luulu tah angkang; nga daapkaatte seng Wah nga damdi.
17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
Sen hootthe ni raangha haaki wanyi ah thungsiit doh jut abah, nengnyi ih tiim li ah erah ami ang ah.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
Ngah ih nga teewah tiit ah baat hang, eno nga daapkaatte seng Wah ih uh nga tiit baat ah.]
19 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.”
[An Wah mani ah?] Pharisi loong ah ih Jisu suh cheng rumta. [Sen loong ah ih seng Wah tajatkan ngah uh tajatri.] Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta. [Sen loong ah ih ngah jat he bah seng Wah uh jat etheng tan.]
20 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.
Arah jengkhaap ah Jisu ngunthiin theng nokkhok adi jengta, erah tokdi heh ih Rangteenook ni nyootsoot rumta. Eno heh jootkhak saapoot ah maangchang ang kano, o ih uh tajokhakta.
21 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.”
Jisu ih neng loong asuh we liirumta, [Ngah dokkhoom ih ang; sen ih ngah jamboi ehe, eno sen loong ah rangdah nah ti an. Ngah wanglang adoh sen tami wangkan.]
22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
Erah raangtaan ih Jehudi ngoong awang loong ah ih liita, [Jisu ih liiha heh wangla adoh seng tami wangke. Heh teeteewah tek haat tiit tambaat ha?]
23 He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Sen loong ah arah mongrep khui nawa, eno ngah ah rangkhoh nawa raahang rah. Sen loong arah mongrep nawa, enoothong ngah arah mongrep nawa tah angkang.
24 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.”
Erah raangtaan ih baatrum taha sen loong ah sen rangdah nah matti an. Sen loong ah ih ‘Ngah liiha ah Ngah,’” ah lahanpi kanbah sen rangdah nah matti an.
25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
[An o ah?] Neng ih Jisu suh cheng rumta. Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Phangbaat tang dowa ih tiim baat rumhala erah ju.
26 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.”
Sen suh ngah ih li theng rapne je ah, dut haat etheng uh eje. Enoothong ngah o ih daapkaat halang, heh juuba ami ah, eno heh jiin nawa tiim chaat hang erah juuba mongrep dowa mina loong asuh baat hang.]
27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
Jisu ih Hewah tiit neng damdi roongwaanta ah tajat rumta.
28 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.
Erah raangtaan ih neng suh liita, “Mina Sah ah choomjoh andoh jat an, ‘Ngah liiha ah Ngah’ eno sen ih erah doh jat an nga chaan nawa ih tiim uh tare kang, seng Wah ih tiimjeng baat halang erah ba jeng lang.
29 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.”
Eno ngah o ih daapkaat halang heh ah nga damdi; nga luulu heh ih tathiinhaat rang, tiimnge liidi ngah ih saarookwet heh tenroon theng reelang.]
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
Jisu erah jengta ah japchaat rum ano miloong ah ih hanpi erumta.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
Eno Jisu ih heh suh hanpiite loong asuh baat rumta, [Nga ih nyoot rumhala ah kap anbah, sen loong ah amiisak nga liphante ang an;
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
sen loong ah ih ami tiit ah ejat ete, eno amiisak rah ih sen loong ah doksiit ehan.]
33 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’?”
[Seng loong abah Abraham sutom,” neng loong ah ih ngaakbaat rumta, [eno seng loong ah mabah uh o dah uh tataat angke. Eno sen loong ah doksiit ehan ngeh ih jenglu ah tiimjih suh liihu?]
34 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
Jisu ih neng loong asuh baat rumta, [ngah ih sen loong asuh amiisak ih baat rumhala: O mina rangdah reeraangla erah mih ah rangdah suh heh dah ang ah.
35 A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Dah ah changtom nah roitang raang ih tah angka, enoothong heh sah ah ba roitang raang ih ang ah. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
Hesah rah ih maama pongwan toom ang ah ngeh li abah amiimiisak sen loong ah maama pongwan ejen ang ethuk han.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
Ngah ih jat ih rumhala sen loong ah Abraham sutoom. Rah bah uh sen ih nga tek haat chung han, tiimnge liidi ngah ih nyoot rumhala ah sen ih tabaam kap kan.
38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
Seng Wah ih tiim noisok halang erah baat rumhala, enoothong sen suh sen wah ih marah baat halan ah re lan.]
39 They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
Neng ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Seng loong wah ah bah Abraham.] Jisu ih ngaakli rumta, [Sen loong ah Abraham suh asah angtan bah,” [sen loong ah heh reeta likhiik ih reetheng; tan.
40 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.
Ngah ih bah seng Rangte jiin nawa chaat hang amiisak tiit ah ba baat hang, erabah uh sen loong ah ih nga tek haat chunghan. Abraham bah amah tareeta!
41 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
Sen bah sen wah mamah reeraangta erah likhiik ih re lan.] [Rangte heteewah luulu bah seng loong Wah,” miloong ah ih ngaakli rumta, [eno seng loong ah heh sah mi.]
42 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.
Jisu ih baat rumta, [Rangte ah sen loong Wah angta bah ngah enook etheng tahe, tiimnge liidi ngah Rangte taangnawa ra halang. Nga chaan nawa ih ngah tara tahang, ngah bah heh ih daapkaat tahang.
43 Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
Ngah ih tiimbaat rumhala erah mamah lajat ehan? Erah langla sen ih nga tiitkhaap ah lanook chaat thoidi angla.
44 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.
Sen loong abah sen wah Hakhoh juubaan suh asah, eno sen loong ah sen wah tenthun jun di reeraang lan. Ephang dowa ih dook heh mitek haatte eno amiitiit ah mabah uh takapka, tiimnge liidi heh jiinni amiitiit ah amuh. Heh ih tiit hu baat ha langla, heh banlam mootkaat, tiimnge liidi heh ah ju ehuh eleek thoon nyia ehuh eleek thoontang waroop ah ju heh.
45 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
Enoothong ngah ih amiitiit ah baat rumhala, erah thoidi sen ih tahanpi ri.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Sen loong dung dowa ih ngah rangdah mih ngeh ih o ih jen noisok an? Ngah ih amiitiit ah baat rumhala bah, mamah lahanpi ehali?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
O Rangte reenawa ra hala heh ih Rangte jengkhaap ah boichaat ih ah. Enoothong, sen loong ah Rangte reenawa lah ang thoidi, taboichaat kan ang ah.”
48 Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
Neng loong ah ih Jisu suh chengta, [Seng ih liihi an chiithih laakhah pan Samariate, epunjeng tam eli?]
49 Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
[Ngah jiinni chiithih laakhah tajeeka, Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Ngah ih seng Wah choomjoh hang, enoothong sen ih ngah tachoom jori.
50 But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
Nga rangka ah nga raang ih tajam kang. Enoothong erah rangka jamte ah wahoh eje eno heh ih nga mendoh dande ah.
51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.” (aiōn g165)
Ngah ih ami baat rumhala; ngah ih nyootsoot hang ah o minah ih kap ah erabah mabah uh tatiika.] (aiōn g165)
52 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)
Jehudi loong ah ih Jisu suh li rumta, [Seng ih jat ehi an chiithih laakhah pan! Abraham tek eta, Khowah loong uh tek eta, erabah uh an ih liihu an ih nyootsoot hu boichaatte ah mabah uh tatiika. (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
Seng loong wah Abraham bah tek eta; ngah Abraham nang ih elong ngeh ih nih li hu, emah tam thun hu? Eno khowah loong uh tek eta. Anteewah suh tiimjih samthun hu?]
54 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.
Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Ngah ih nga teewah mok choomjotang bah, erah choomchotang ah thaangmuh ang thengta. Nga choomjootte wasiit abah seng Wah—sen ih Rangte ngeh li han rah ah.
55 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.
Sen ih mabah uh tathaak jatkan, ngah ih ba jat hang. Ngah ih tajatkang ngeh mok liitang bah sen likhiik ehuh eleek angtheng tang. Enoothong ngah ih jat ih angno, heh jengkhaap ah kap hang.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
Sen loong wah Abraham bah nga kaat saapoot ah japtup suh eroon eta; eno heh ih japtup eta nyia eroon eta.]
57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
Neng ih Jisu suh li rumta, [an amadi paangrook bangnga bot maang ang ko—eno Abraham japtup eto oh?
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
“Ngah ih amiisak baat rumhala,” Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, “Abraham maang potsom di dook, ‘Ngah eje Angtang.”
59 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.
Eno erah li kano heh patsuh jong toonpi rumta, enoothong Jisu Rangteenook dowa hotsoon eta.
