< John 8 >

1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Te Yesus neu sia lete Saitun.
2 And at dawn He went again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; so sitting down He started to teach 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 Then the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman caught in adultery; and placing her in the center
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 they say to Him: “Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the very act.
Boe ma rafadꞌe Yesus rae, “Papa Meser. Inaꞌ ia hambu rala e leleꞌ ana hohongge.
5 Now in our law Moses commanded that such women are to be stoned; so 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, so that they might have an accusation against Him. But stooping down Jesus began to write on the ground with His finger, taking no notice.
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 But since they kept on asking Him, straightening up He said to them, “Let the one without sin among you 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 stooping down again He continued writing on the ground.
Basa ma Ana endoꞌ dakaꞌ-dakaꞌ fai, de suraꞌ seluꞌ neu rae a.
9 Now upon hearing this, and being convicted by their conscience, they began to go out one by one, starting with the older ones down to the least. So only Jesus was left, with the woman in the center.
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 So straightening up, and not seeing anyone except the woman, Jesus said to her: “Where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned 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 So she said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said to her: “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on don't sin any more!”
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 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk around in the darkness, but will have the light of the 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 So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about yourself; your testimony is not valid.”
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 Jesus answered and said to them: “Even though I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or 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 are judging according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.
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 do judge, my judging is valid, in that I am not alone in judging, but I and the Father who sent me are together.
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 It is written precisely in your law that the testimony of two men is valid:
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 am one testifying concerning myself and the Father who sent me testifies concerning 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 Then they said to Him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me you would also know 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 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet 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 Then Jesus said to them again: “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come.”
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 So the Jews said, “He won't kill himself, will he, since he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?”
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 He said to them: “You are from below; I am from Above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
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 That is why I told you that you will die in your sins, because if you do not believe that 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 So they said to Him, “Who are you?” And Jesus said to them: “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
Basa ma ratane rae, “Weh! Ho ia, seka?” Yesus nataa nae, “Au ufadꞌe memaꞌ mia fefeun ena.
26 I have many things to say and to judge about you, but He who sent me is true, and what I myself have heard from Him—these things I say to the world.”
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 was speaking to them about the Father.
(Eni masud na, Aman sia sorga. Te ara nda rahine masud na sa boe).
28 Then Jesus said to them: “When you lift up the Son of the Man, then you will know that I am and that I do nothing from myself; but just as my Father has taught me, these things I speak.
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 And the One who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do the things that please 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 saying these things many believed into Him.
Leleꞌ Yesus nafadꞌe dalaꞌ ia ra, ma atahori hetar ramahere E boe.
31 So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him: “If you abide in my word, you really are 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 know the Truth, and the Truth will make 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 They answered and said to Him: “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, ‘You will be made 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 Jesus answered them: “I tell you most assuredly that everyone committing sin is a slave of 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.
35 Now the slave does not remain in the household forever; the son does remain forever. (aiōn g165)
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 Therefore, if the Son should make you free, you really will be free.
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, but you are wanting to kill me because my word finds no place in you.
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 On my part, I speak what I have observed with my Father, while on your part you do what you have observed with 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 They answered and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham!” Jesus says to them: “If you were children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham;
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 now you are wanting to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. This sort of thing Abraham did not do!
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 do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”
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 So Jesus said to them: “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I came forth from God and I am here. Further, I have not come on my own, but He sent me.
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 Why don't you understand what I say?—because you are not able to really hear my word.
Taꞌo bee de hei nda mihine Au oꞌola ngga sa? Mbei ma hei nda nau rena, sa!
44 You are of your father the devil, and it is the desires of your father that you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks the lie he speaks from his own things, 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 since I speak the truth you do not believe me.
Au ia, mana ufadꞌe dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a. Te hei nda mimihere Au sa.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? So if I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
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 one who is of God hears God's words; that is why you do not hear, because you are not of 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 So the Jews answered and said to Him, “We say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon—are we wrong?”
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 Jesus answered: “I do not have a demon; rather, I honor my Father, while you dishonor 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 Yet I do not seek my glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
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.
51 Most assuredly I say to you, if anyone should keep my word he will never ever see death.” (aiōn g165)
Au Dedꞌea-oꞌola ngga, memaꞌ tebꞌe! Ma, atahori mana rena ma tao tungga Dedꞌea oꞌola ngga, nda mate sa.” (aiōn g165)
52 So the Jews said to Him: “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died and so did the prophets; yet you say, ‘If anyone should keep my word he will never ever taste 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 Surely you aren't greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets are dead. Who 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 Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our 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 Yet you have not known Him, but I do know Him. And if I should say that I do not know Him I would be a liar just like you (pl); but I do know Him and I keep His word.
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 father Abraham was overjoyed to see my day; yes, he saw it and rejoiced.”
Hei baꞌi Abraham ma ralan namahoꞌo seli, leleꞌ ana nahani nae nita Au uꞌuma ngga. Memaꞌ Ana nita ena, de ana maꞌahee.”
57 So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and you have 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 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM!”
Boe ma Yesus nataa nae, “Tebꞌe! Huu baꞌi Abraham nda feꞌe sia sa, te Au sia ena.”
59 Then they picked up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus was concealed and went out of the temple, going through the middle of them; yes, that is how He got away!
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.
