John 8
1 But Jesus went [with us disciples] to Olive [Tree] Hill [and we stayed near there that night].
А Исус отиде на гору Маслинску.
2 Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple [courtyard]. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.
А ујутру опет дође у цркву, и сав народ иђаше к Њему; и седавши учаше их.
3 Then men who taught the [Jewish] laws and some of [SYN] the Pharisee [religious group] brought a woman to him. She was seized {[They] had [arranged to] seize her} while she was having sex with a man who was not her husband. They made her stand up in front of the group [that was listening to Jesus].
А књижевници и фарисеји доведоше к Њему жену ухваћену у прељуби, и поставивши је на среду
4 Then they said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was seized {[we] seized this woman} while she was having sex with a man who is not her husband.
Рекоше Му: Учитељу! Ова је жена ухваћена сад у прељуби;
5 Moses commanded us in the laws that [he gave us] that we should throw stones at such women [and kill them]. So what do you say [we should do]?”
А Мојсије нам у закону заповеди да такве камењем убијамо; а ти шта велиш?
6 They asked this question as a trap so that they could accuse him. [If he said that they should not kill her, they would shame him for disobeying the law of Moses. If he said that they should kill her, they could accuse him to the Roman governor]. But Jesus bent down and wrote something on the ground with his finger.
Ово, пак, рекоше кушајући Га да би Га имали за шта окривити. А Исус саже се доле и писаше прстом по земљи (не гледајући на њих).
7 While they continued to question him, he stood up and said to them, “Whichever one of you has never sinned can be the first one to start throwing stones at her.”
А кад Га једнако питаху, исправи се и рече им: Који је међу вама без греха нека најпре баци камен на њу.
8 Then he stooped down and wrote [some more] on the ground.
Па се опет саже доле и писаше по земљи.
9 After they heard what he said, those [who were questioning him] went away, one by one, the older ones first [and then the younger ones, knowing they were all sinners]. Finally only Jesus was there, along with the woman.
А кад они то чуше, и покарани будући од своје савести излажаху један за другим почевши од старешина до последњих; и оста Исус сам и жена стојећи на среди.
10 Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”
А кад се Исус исправи, и не видевши ни једног до саму жену, рече јој: Жено! Где су они што те тужаху? Ниједан те не осуди?
11 She said, “No, sir, no one.” Then Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go [home] now, and do not continue your sinful [life] any longer!”]
А она рече: Ниједан, Господе! А Исус јој рече: Ни ја те не осуђујем, иди, и одселе више не греши.
12 Jesus spoke to the people again. He said, “I am [like] a light [MET] for [all the people in] [MTY] the world. [Just like a light reveals what has been in the darkness] [MET], [I reveal God’s truth to them]. Those who walk in the darkness [are unaware of what is around them]. But those who become my disciples will always be aware [of God’s truth] [MET]. They will have my light [which shows them how to have eternal] life.”
Исус им, пак, опет рече: Ја сам видело свету: ко иде за мном неће ходити по тами, него ће имати видело живота.
13 So the Pharisees said to him, “You are just telling about yourself! [Since there is no one else to verify these things that you say about yourself], [we] do not [need to accept that] what you say is true.”
Тада Му рекоше фарисеји: Ти сам за себе сведочиш: сведочанство твоје није истинито.
14 Jesus replied, “Even if I were the [only one to] say these things about myself, what I say is true, because I know that I came from [heaven], and I know that I am going [back to heaven]. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
Исус одговори и рече им: Ако ја сведочим сам за себе истинито је сведочанство моје: јер знам откуда дођох и куда идем; а ви не знате откуда долазим и куда идем.
15 You judge people according to human standards. [The reason] that I am [here is] not (to condemn people/to say that I will punish people) [for their sins].
Ви судите по телу, ја не судим никоме.
16 But if I did judge [people], what I decided would be correct, because I am not the [only] one [who will decide those things]. I and the one who sent me will both decide.
И ако судим ја, суд је мој прав: јер нисам сам, него ја и Отац који ме посла.
17 It is written {[Moses] wrote} in your law that if [at least] two people testify that [some event has happened], [people should consider] that what they say is true.
А и у закону вашем стоји написано да је сведочанство двојице људи истинито.
18 I am telling you about myself, and the other one who is telling you about me is [my] Father who sent me. [So you should believe that what we declare is true].”
Ја сам који сведочим сам за себе, и сведочи за мене Отац који ме посла.
19 Then they asked him, “[If you have a] father whom [we can question about you], where is he?” Jesus replied, “You do not know [who] I [really am]. If you knew who I [really am], you would know who my Father is also.”
Тада Му говораху: Где је отац твој? Исус одговори: Ни мене знате ни Оца мог; кад бисте знали мене, знали бисте и Оца мог.
20 He said these things when he was in the Temple [courtyard], near the place where the people put their offerings. [This was also very close to the place where the Jewish council met]. But no one seized him to arrest him, because it was not yet time [MTY] [for him to suffer and die].
Ове речи рече Исус код хазне Божије кад учаше у цркви; и нико Га не ухвати, јер још не беше дошао час Његов.
21 Jesus also said to them, “I [will soon be] going away. Then [at the end of your life] you will seek me, but you will die [without God forgiving] your sins. Where I will go, you will not be able to come.”
А Исус им опет рече: Ја идем, и тражићете ме; и помрећете у свом греху; куд ја идем ви не можете доћи.
22 So the Jewish [leaders] said among themselves, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that the reason that he said, ‘Where I go, you will not be able to come’?”
Тада рекоше Јевреји: Да се неће сам убити, што говори: Куд ја идем ви не можете доћи?
23 But Jesus continued by saying to them, “You were born here in this world, but I came from heaven. You belong to those who are opposed to God [MTY]. I do not belong to them.
И рече им: Ви сте од нижих, ја сам од виших; ви сте од овог света, ја нисам од овог света.
24 I told you that you will die [without God forgiving] your sins. If you do not believe that I am [who I say that I am], you will die [without God forgiving] your sins.”
Тако вам казах да ћете помрети у гресима својим; јер ако не узверујете да сам ја, помрећете у гресима својим.
25 So they said to him, “You! Who do you think you are?” Jesus said to them, “Ever since I began [teaching], I have been telling you who I am!
Тада Му говораху: Ко си ти? И рече им Исус: Почетак, како вам и кажем.
26 I could judge you and say that [you are guilty of] many things. But instead, [I will say only] what the one who sent me tells me to say. [What he says] is true, and I tell the people in the world [MTY] what I have heard from him.”
Много имам за вас говорити и судити; али Онај који ме посла истинит је, и ја оно говорим свету што чух од Њега.
27 They did not understand that he was talking about his Father [in heaven].
Не разумеше, дакле, да им говораше за Оца.
28 So Jesus said, “I am the one who came down from heaven, but when you lift me up [on a cross to kill me], you will know who I am. You will also know that I do not do anything with my own [authority]. Instead, I say just what [my] Father has taught me.
А Исус им рече: Кад подигнете Сина човечијег, онда ћете дознати да сам ја, и да ништа сам од себе не чиним; него како ме научи Отац мој онако говорим.
29 He is the one who sent me, and he helps me. Because I always do the things that please him, he has never abandoned me.”
И Онај који ме посла са мном је. Не остави Отац мене самог; јер ја свагда чиним шта је Њему угодно.
30 As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he [was] ([from God/the Messiah]).
Кад ово говораше, многи Га вероваше.
31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who now said they believed in him, “If you continue to [live in accordance with] my message, you will truly be my disciples.
Тада Исус говораше оним Јеврејима који Му вероваше: Ако ви останете на мојој беседи, заиста ћете бити ученици моји,
32 Then you will know [God’s] truth, and as a result of [your believing his] truth, he [PRS] will free you [from being controlled by the one who has made you his slaves].”
И познаћете истину, и истина ће вас избавити.
33 They replied to him, “We are descendants of Abraham. We have never been anyone’s slaves. So why do you say [we will] be freed [from being someone’s slaves]?”
Одговорише и рекоше Му: Ми смо семе Авраамово, и никоме нисмо робовали никад; како ти говориш да ћемо се избавити?
34 Jesus replied, “Listen carefully to what I am going to tell you. All those who continue to sin are [forced to obey] their sinful desires [MET], [just like] a slave [is forced to obey his master].
Исус им одговори: Заиста, заиста вам кажем да је сваки који чини грех роб греху.
35 A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever. [Similarly, you say you are members of God’s family because you are descendants of Abraham, but really, because you are like slaves of your sinful desires, you are no longer permanent members of God’s family]. (aiōn g165)
А роб не остаје у кући вавек, син остаје вавек. (aiōn g165)
36 So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.
Ако вас, дакле, Син избави, заиста ћете бити избављени.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. But you are trying to kill me because [you are not] allowing [PRS] my message to continue [to change] your inner being.
Знам да сте семе Авраамово; али гледате да ме убијете, јер моја беседа не може у вас да стане.
38 I am telling you what I saw when I was with [my] Father. But you do the things that you have heard from your father.”
Ја говорим шта видех од Оца свог; и ви тако чините шта видесте од оца свог.
39 They replied to him, “Abraham is our ancestor.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s descendants, [your character would be like Abraham’s character, and] you would do [good] things like Abraham did.
Одговорише и рекоше Му: Отац је наш Авраам. Исус им рече: Кад бисте ви били деца Авраамова, чинили бисте дела Авраамова.
40 I have been telling you the truth that I heard from God, but you are trying to kill me. Abraham did not do things like that.
А сад гледате мене да убијете, човека који вам истину казах коју чух од Бога: Тако Авраам није чинио.
41 No! You are doing the things that your [real] father does.” They said to him, “[We do not know about you, but] we are not illegitimate children. And [spiritually], we have only one Father. That is God, and you do not know who your father is!”
Ви чините дела оца свог. Тада Му рекоше: Ми нисмо рођени од курварства: једног Оца имамо, Бога.
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, because I came from God, and now I have come here [to this world]. My coming was not (because I [appointed] myself/with my own [authority]). He sent me.
А Исус им рече: Кад би Бог био ваш Отац, љубили бисте мене; јер ја од Бога изиђох и дођох; јер не дођох сам од себе, него ме Он посла.
43 (And I will tell you why you do not understand what I say./Do you know why you do not understand what I say?) [RHQ] It is because you do not want to accept my message.
Зашто не разумете говор мој? Јер не можете речи моје да слушате.
44 You belong to your father, (the devil/Satan), and you desire to do what he wants. He has [caused people to become] murderers from the time when [people] first [sinned]. He has abandoned [God’s] truth because he is a liar by his nature. Whenever he lies, he is speaking according to his [nature], because he is a liar and is the one who originates [MET] all lies.
Ваш је отац ђаво; и сласти оца свог хоћете да чините: он је крвник људски од почетка, и не стоји на истини; јер нема истине у њему; кад говори лаж, своје говори: јер је лажа и отац лажи.
45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!
А мени не верујете, јер ја истину говорим.
46 [Since I have never sinned], (none of you can show that I have sinned./can anyone among you show that I have sinned?) [RHQ] So, since I tell you the truth, (there is no good reason for your not believing me!/why is it that you do not believe me?) [RHQ]
Који ме од вас кори за грех? Ако ли истину говорим, зашто ми ви не верујете?
47 Those who belong to God habitually obey God’s message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”
Ко је од Бога речи Божије слуша; зато ви не слушате, јер нисте од Бога.
48 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied to him, “(We are certainly right by saying that you [believe what is false as] the Samaritans [do]!/Are we not right by saying that you [believe what is false as] the Samaritans [do]?) [RHQ] And that (a demon/an evil spirit) [controls] you!”
Тада одговорише Јевреји и рекоше Му: Не говоримо ли ми право да си ти Самарјанин, и да је ђаво у теби.
49 Jesus replied, “A demon does not [control] me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!
Исус одговори: У мени ђавола нема, него поштујем Оца свог; а ви мене срамотите.
50 I am not trying to honor myself. There is someone else who desires [to honor me], and he is the one who will judge [whether it is I who am telling the truth or whether it is you who are telling the truth].
А ја не тражим славе своје; има који тражи и суди.
Заиста, заиста вам кажем: ко одржи реч моју неће видети смрт довека. (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [thinking that he was talking about ordinary death and not about spiritual death], said to him, “Now we are sure that a demon [controls] you! Abraham and the prophets died [long ago]! But you say that anyone who obeys what you teach will never die! (aiōn g165)
Тада Му рекоше Јевреји: Сад видесмо да је ђаво у теби: Авраам умре и пророци, а ти говориш: Ко одржи реч моју неће окусити смрт довека. (aiōn g165)
53 (You are certainly not greater than our ancestor Abraham!/Do you think you are greater than our ancestor Abraham?) [RHQ] He died, and all the prophets died, so who do you think you are [by saying something like that]?”
Еда ли си ти већи од оца нашег Авраама, који умре? И пророци помреше: ко се ти сам градиш?
54 Jesus replied, “If I were honoring myself, that would be worthless. My Father is the one who you say is your God. He is the one who honors me.
Исус одговори: Ако се ја сам славим, слава је моја ништа: Отац је мој који ме слави, за ког ви говорите да је ваш Бог.
55 Although you do not know him, I know him [and have a close relationship with him]. If I said that I did not know him, I would be a liar like you are. But I know him, and I obey what he says.
И не познајете Га, а ја Га знам; и ако кажем да Га не знам бићу лажа као ви. Него Га знам, и реч Његову држим.
56 Your ancestor Abraham was happy when he thought about what I would [do during] my life [MTY]. [It was as though] he saw that, and was happy.”
Авраам, отац ваш, био је рад да види дан мој; и виде, и обрадова се.
57 Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to him, “You are not 50 years old yet! So (you certainly did not see him!/how could you have seen him?) [RHQ] [Because he died long ago]!”
Тада Му рекоше Јевреји: Још ти нема педесет година, и Авраама ли си видео?
58 Jesus said to them, “The truth is that I existed before Abraham was born!”
А Исус им рече: Заиста, заиста вам кажем: Ја сам пре него се Авраам родио.
59 So, [because they were very angry about Jesus thus saying that he] ([had eternally existed/was equal with God]), they picked up stones to throw at him [to kill him]. But [Jesus] caused them not to be able to see him, and he left the Temple courtyard.
Тада узеше камење да баце на Њ; а Исус се сакри, и изађе из цркве прошавши између њих и отиде тако.
