Jan 8
1 Jezi menm ale mòn Oliv.
And at dawn he came again to the temple,
2 Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, li tounen nan tanp lan. Tout foul moun yo pwoche bò kote li. Li chita, li pran moutre yo anpil bagay.
and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
3 Dirèktè lalwa yo ak farizyen yo mennen yon fanm ba li. Yo te bare fanm lan nan adiltè. Yo mete l' kanpe devan tout foul moun yo,
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 epi yo di Jezi konsa: Mèt, yo kenbe fanm sa a nan men ap fè adiltè.
they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
5 Moyiz te bay lòd nan lalwa a pou yo touye yo lè konsa ak kout wòch. Men, ou menm, kisa ou di nan sa?
and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
6 Yo t'ap di sa, paske yo te vle pran l' nan pèlen pou yo te ka akize li. Men, Jezi bese atè. Epi, avèk dwèt li, li kòmanse ekri atè a.
and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,
7 Men, moun yo t'ap kouvri l' ak keksyon. Jezi leve atè a, li di yo: Se pou moun ki konnen li pa janm peche a ba l' premye kout wòch la.
and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;'
8 Apre sa, li bese atè a yon dezyèm fwa, li pran ekri ankò.
and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
9 Lè yo tande pawòl sa yo, yonn apre lòt y' al fè wout yo. Premye moun ki te mete deyò se te sak te pi granmoun yo. Jezi rete pou kont li ak fanm lan ki te kanpe devan l'.
and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 Lè sa a, li leve, li di fanm lan: Madanm, kote moun yo? Pesonn pa kondannen ou?
And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'
11 Li reponn: Pesonn non, Mèt. Jezi di li: Mwen menm tou, mwen pa kondannen ou. Ou mèt ale. Men, pa janm fè peche ankò.
and she said, 'No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
12 Jezi pale ankò ak foul moun yo, li di: Se mwen menm ki limyè k'ap klere tout moun ki sou latè. Moun ki swiv mwen va gen limyè ki bay lavi a. Yo p'ap janm mache nan fènwa.
Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'
13 Farizyen yo di li: Apa w'ap pale tèt pa ou byen? Sa w'ap di la a pa gen valè.
The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
14 Jezi reponn yo: Menm si mwen t'ap pale tèt mwen byen, sa m'ap di a se verite, paske mwen konnen ki bò m' soti, mwen konnen ki bò m' prale. Men, nou menm, nou pa konnen ni ki bò m' soti, ni ki bò m' prale.
Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.
15 Nou menm, n'ap jije tankou lèzòm jije. Men, mwen menm mwen pa jije pesonn.
'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
16 Mentou, si yon lè mwen gen pou m' jije, m'ap jije byen dapre verite a, paske mwen p'ap jije pou kont mwen. Papa ki voye m' lan ap la avèk mwen.
and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
17 Nou jwenn sa ekri nan Lalwa nou an tou: Lè de temwen fè menm depozisyon an, sa yo di a vre.
and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
18 Mwen sèvi temwen pou tèt pa m'; Papa a ki voye m' lan sèvi m' temwen tou.
I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'
19 Yo mande li: Kote papa ou? Jezi reponn yo: Nou pa konnen mwen, nou pa konn Papa mwen. Si nou te konnen m', nou ta konnen Papa m' tou.
They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'
20 Jezi te nan tanp lan, kote yo mete bwat pou fè ofrann yo. Se la li t'ap di yo tout pawòl sa yo, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil lòt bagay ankò. Men, pesonn pa t' mete men sou li, paske lè l' pa t' ankò rive.
These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;
21 Jezi di yo ankò: Mwen pral fè wout mwen. N'a chache m', men n'a mouri nan peche nou yo. Nou pa ka ale kote m' prale a.
therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'
22 Jwif yo yonn di lòt: Gen lè li pral touye tèt li? Tande sa l'ap di: Nou pa ka ale kote l' prale a.
The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'
23 Jezi reponn yo: Nou soti anba, mwen menm mwen soti anwo. Nou se moun tè sa a, mwen menm mwen pa moun tè sa a.
and he said to them, 'Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;
24 Se poutèt sa mwen di nou, n'ap mouri nan peche nou. Wi, nou gen pou n' mouri nan peche nou si nou pa kwè mwen se moun mwen ye a.
I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.'
25 Yo mande li: Ki moun ou ye? Jezi reponn yo: Sa m' te di nou depi nan konmansman an.
They said, therefore, to him, 'Thou — who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;
26 Mwen gen anpil bagay pou m' di sou nou, anpil bagay menm pou m' jije nan nou. Men, moun ki voye m' lan, se verite ase li di. Se sèlman sa m' pran nan bouch li m'ap anonse bay lèzòm ki sou latè.
many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.'
27 Yo pa t' konprann se sou Papa a li t'ap pale yo.
They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
28 Jezi di yo ankò: Lè n'a leve Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a byen wo, n'a konnen se mwen menmm ki li menm. Lè sa a, n'a konnen mwen pa fè anyen pou kont mwen. Se sèlman sa Papa a moutre m' mwen di.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;
29 Moun ki voye m' lan la avèk mwen. Li pa kite m' pou kont mwen paske mwen toujou fè sak fè l' plezi.
and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'
30 Anpil moun ki te tande Jezi pale konsa te kwè nan li.
As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
31 Jezi di jwif ki te kwè nan li yo: Si nou kenbe pawòl mwen yo nan kè nou, nou se disip mwen vre.
Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,
32 N'a konnen verite a, lè sa a verite a va ban nou libète nou.
and the truth shall make you free.'
33 Yo di li: Nou se pitit pitit Abraram. Nou pa janm esklav pesonn. Ki jan ou ka fè di nou: N'a gen libète nou?
They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?'
34 Jezi reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Tout moun ki fè peche, se esklav peche yo ye.
Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,
35 Yon esklav pa fè pati moun kay la pou tout tan. Men, yon pitit fè pati moun kay la pou tout tan. (aiōn g165)
and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; (aiōn g165)
36 Si Pitit Bondye a ban nou libète, n'a lib tout bon.
if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
37 Wi, mwen konnen se pitit pitit Abraram nou ye vre. Men, n'ap chache touye m' paske nou pa asepte sa m'ap moutre nou.
'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;
38 M'ap di nou sa Papa m' moutre mwen. Men nou menm, n'ap fè sa papa pa nou di nou fè.
I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.'
39 Yo reponn li: Men, papa nou se Abraram. Jezi di yo: Si nou te pitit Abraram tout bon, nou ta fè sa li menm li te fè.
They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;
40 Gade koulye a, m'ap di nou verite a jan Bondye te moutre m' li, atousa n'ap chache touye mwen. Abraram pa janm fè bagay konsa.
and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;
41 Men nou menm, n'ap fè sa papa nou ap fè. Yo reponn li: Nou pa pitit deyò non. Nou gen yon sèl papa, se Bondye.
ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;'
42 Jezi di yo: Si Bondye te papa nou vre, nou ta renmen mwen. Paske, mwen soti bò kot Bondye. Se li menm ki voye m' isit la. Mwen pa vini pou kont mwen. Se li menm menm ki voye mwen.
Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;
43 Poukisa nou pa konprann sa m'ap di nou la a? Paske nou pa kapab tande pawòl mwen yo.
wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
44 Se Satan ki papa nou. Se sak fè nou vle fè sa papa nou vle. Depi nan konmansman se sa ase l'ap fè: touye moun. Li pa janm pran pozisyon pou verite a paske pa gen verite menm nan li. Depi l' louvri bouch li, se manti l'ap bay paske sè mantò li ye. Se papa nan bay manti li ye.
'Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.
45 Men mwen menm, mwen pale verite a. Se poutèt sa nou pa vle kwè mwen.
'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 Kilès nan nou ki ka bay prèv mwen fè peche? Si sa m' di a se vre, poukisa nou pa kwè mwen?
Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?
47 Tout moun ki moun Bondye, yo koute pawòl Bondye. Men nou menm, nou pa moun Bondye. Se sak fè nou pa vle koute.
he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'
48 Jwif yo reponn li: Nou te gen rezon lè n' t'ap di se moun Samari ou ye. Ou gen yon move lespri sou ou.
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
49 Jezi di yo: Mwen pa gen okenn move lespri sou mwen. M'ap fè respe Papa mwen. Men nou menm, se derespekte n'ap derespekte mwen.
Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;
50 Mwen p'ap chache lwanj pou tèt pa mwen. Gen yon moun k'ap chache l' pou mwen. Se li menm tou k'ap jije nou.
and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' (aiōn g165)
52 Jwif yo di li: Koulye a, nou sèten ou gen yon move lespri sou ou. Abraram mouri. Pwofèt yo mouri tou. Epi ou menm, w'ap di: O wi, moun ki fè tou sa m' di l' fè, li p'ap janm mouri. (aiōn g165)
The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age! (aiōn g165)
53 Abraram ki Abraram zansèt nou, li mouri. Koulye a, ou prèt pou di nou ou pi gran pase li? Pwofèt ki pwofèt yo mouri. Sa ou konprann ou ye menm?
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'
54 Jezi reponn yo: Si m' t'ap fè lwanj tèt mwen, lwanj sa a pa ta vo anyen. Moun k'ap fè lwanj mwen se Papa m', moun nou pretann di ki Bondye nou an.
Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;
55 Nou pa konnen li. Men mwen menm, mwen konnen li. Si pou m' ta di mwen pa konnen li, mwen ta bay manti tankou nou. Men, mwen konnen l' epi m'ap fè tou sa li di m' fè.
and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;
56 Abraram papa nou te kontan, paske li te anvi wè jou m' lan rive. Li wè li. Sa te fè kè l' kontan nèt.
Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
57 Jwif yo di li: Ou poko gen senkantan, epi w'ap di ou te wè Abraram?
The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'
58 Jezi reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Abraram pa t' ankò fèt, mwen menm, mwen te la deja.
Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;'
59 Lè sa a, yo ranmase wòch pou kalonnen li. Men, Jezi kache kò l' yon kote epi li soti nan tanp lan.
they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
