< John 8 >

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
fa Jesosy kosa nankany an-tendrombohitra Oliva.
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.
Ary nony maraina koa dia nankeo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly indray Jesosy, ary ny vahoaka rehetra nanatona Azy, dia nipetraka Izy ka nampianatra azy.
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
Ary nisy vehivavy anankiray azo nijangajanga nentin’ ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo; ary rehefa napetrany teo afovoany izy,
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
dia hoy ireo taminy: Mpampianatra ô, ity vehivavy ity azo olan-tanana nijangajanga.
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
Ary ao amin’ ny lalàna Mosesy dia nandidy antsika fa hotoraham-bato izay vehivavy manao toy izany; fa ahoana kosa hoy Hianao?
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.
Izany no nolazainy hakany fanahy Azy, mba hahazoany izay hiampangany Azy. Fa Jesosy niondrika ka nanoratra teo amin’ ny tany tamin’ ny rantsan-tànany.
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.”
Ary raha naharitra nanontany Azy ireo, dia nitraka Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Izay tsy nanota eo aminareo no aoka hitora-bato azy voalohany.
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Dia niondrika indray Izy ka nanoratra teo amin’ ny tany tamin’ ny rantsan-tànany.
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.
Ary raha nandre izany izy, dia nivoaka tsirairay hatramin’ ny zokinjokiny ka hatramin’ ny zandrinjandriny; ary Jesosy irery ihany no sisa teo sy ilay vehivavy teo.
10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
Ary rehefa nitraka Jesosy, dia hoy Izy taminy; Ravehivavy, aiza ireny? Tsy nisy nanameloka anao va?
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
Ary hoy izy: Tsy misy, Tompoko. Dia hoy Jesosy: Izaho koa dia tsy manameloka anao; mandehana, ary amin’ izao sisa izao dia aza manota intsony.]
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.”
Ary Jesosy niteny tamin’ ny olona indray ka nanao hoe: Izaho no fahazavan’ izao tontolo izao; izay manaraka Ahy tsy mba handeha amin’ ny maizina, fa hanana ny fahazavan’ aina.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
Ary hoy ny Fariseo taminy: Hianao manambara ny tenanao, koa tsy marina ny fanambaranao.
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.
Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Na dia manambara ny tenako aza Aho, dia marina ny fanambarako, satria fantatro izay nihaviako sy izay alehako; fa ianareo kosa tsy mahalala izay ihaviako, na izay alehako.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
Hianareo mitsara araka ny nofo; Izaho tsy mitsara olona na dia iray akory aza.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
Ary na dia mitsara aza Aho, dia marina ny fitsarako, satria tsy irery Aho, fa Izaho sy ny Ray Izay naniraka Ahy.
17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
Ary voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalànareo fa marina ny fanambaran’ ny olona roa lahy.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
Izaho no manambara ny tenako, ary ny Ray Izay naniraka Ahy dia manambara Ahy koa.
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.”
Dia hoy ireo taminy: Aiza izay Rainao? Jesosy namaly hoe: Samy tsy fantatrareo, na Izaho, na ny Raiko; raha nahalala Ahy ianareo, dia ho nahalala ny Raiko koa.
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.
Izany teny izany no nolazain’ i Jesosy teo akaikin’ ny fandatsahan-drakitra, raha nampianatra teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly Izy; ary tsy nisy olona nisambotra Azy, satria tsy mbola tonga ny fotoany.
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.”
Ary hoy indray Jesosy taminy: Handeha Aho, ary hitady Ahy ianareo, ary ho faty amin’ ny fahotanareo; izay alehako tsy azonareo haleha.
22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
Dia hoy ny Jiosy: Hamono tena va Izy, no manao hoe: Izay alehako tsy azonareo haleha?
23 He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
Fa hoy Izy taminy; Hianareo avy atỳ ambany; Izaho avy any ambony; ianareo avy amin’ izao tontolo izao; Izaho tsy mba avy amin’ izao tontolo izao;
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.”
koa izany no nilazako taminareo fa ho faty amin’ ny fahotanareo ianareo; fa raha tsy mino ianareo fa Izaho no Izy, dia ho faty amin’ ny fahotanareo ianareo.
25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
Dia hoy ireo taminy: Iza moa Hianao? Hoy Jesosy taminy: Ilay nolazaiko taminareo hatramin’ ny voalohany.
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.”
Manana zavatra maro hilazana sy hitsarana anareo Aho, satria marina Izay naniraka Ahy; ary izay zavatra efa reko taminy no lazaiko amin’ izao tontolo izao.
27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
Tsy fantany fa ny Ray no nolazainy taminy,
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.
ka dia hoy Jesosy: Rehefa asandratrareo ny Zanak’ olona, dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Izy, ary tsy manao na inona na inona ho Ahy Aho, fa araka ny nampianarin’ ny Raiko Ahy no ilazako izany zavatra izany.
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.”
Ary izay naniraka Ahy dia eto amiko; tsy nandao Ahy ho irery Izy, satria Izaho manao izay sitrany mandrakariva.
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
Raha nanao izany teny izany Jesosy, dia maro no nino Azy.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
Dia hoy Jesosy tamin’ ny Jiosy izay nino Azy: Raha maharitra amin’ ny teniko ianareo, dia ho mpianatro tokoa;
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
ka ho fantatrareo ny marina, ary ny marina hahafaka anareo tsy ho andevo.
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’?”
Ary ireo dia namaly Azy ka nanao hoe: Taranak’ i Abrahama izahay, fa tsy mba andevon’ olona hatrizay ela izay; koa nahoana no ataonao hoe: Ho afaka ianareo?
34 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa fa izay rehetra manota dia andevon’ ny ota.
35 A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Fa ny andevo tsy mitoetra ao an-trano mandrakariva; fa ny zanaka no mitoetra mandrakariva. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
Koa raha ny Zanaka no hahafaka anareo, dia ho afaka tokoa ianareo.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
Fantatro ihany fa taranak’ i Abrahama ianareo, nefa mitady hamono Ahy, satria ny teniko tsy mitombo ao anatinareo.
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.”
Izay efa hitako tamin’ ny Ray no lazaiko, ary ianareo kosa manao izay renareo tamin’ ny rainareo.
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.
Dia namaly ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Abrahama no rainay. Hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha zanak’ i Abrahama ianareo, dia ny asan’ i Abrahama no hataonareo.
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.
Fa ankehitriny ianareo mitady hamono Ahy, Izay Lehilahy nilaza ny marina taminareo, dia izay efa reko tamin’ Andriamanitra; tsy mba nanao izany Abrahama.
41 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
Hianareo manao ny asan’ ny rainareo. Hoy ireo taminy: Tsy mba teraka avy tamin’ ny fijangajangana izahay; iray Ray izahay, dia Andriamanitra ihany.
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.
Hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha Andriamanitra no Rainareo, dia ho tia Ahy ianareo, satria avy tamin’ Andriamanitra no nivoahako sy nankanesako atỳ; fa Izaho tsy tonga ho Ahy, fa Izy no naniraka Ahy.
43 Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
Nahoana no tsy azonareo ny teniko? satria tsy mahay mihaino ny teniko ianareo.
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.
Hianareo avy tamin’ ny devoly rainareo, ka izay sitraky ny rainareo no tianareo hatao. Izy dia mpamono olona hatramin’ ny taloha, ary tsy nitoetra tamin’ ny marina, satria tsy misy marina aminy. Raha mandainga izy, dia ny azy no lazainy, satria mpandainga izy sady rain’ ny lainga.
45 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
Fa satria milaza ny marina Aho, dia tsy inoanareo.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Iza moa aminareo no mampiseho Ahy ho nanota? Raha ny marina no lazaiko, nahoana ianareo no tsy mino Ahy?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
Izay avy amin’ Andriamanitra dia mihaino ny tenin’ Andriamanitra; izany no tsy ihainoanareo, satria tsy mba avy amin’ Andriamanitra ianareo.
48 Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
Dia namaly ny Jiosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy marina va ny filazanay fa Samaritana Hianao sady manana demonia?
49 Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
Jesosy namaly hoe: Izaho tsy manana demonia, fa mankalaza ny Raiko, ary ianareo kosa mahafa-boninahitra Ahy.
50 But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
Fa Izaho tsy mitady ny voninahitro; misy Iray mitady sy mitsara.
51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.” (aiōn g165)
Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Raha misy olona mitandrina ny teniko, dia tsy mba hahita fahafatesana izy mandrakizay. (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)
Dia hoy ny Jiosy taminy: Fantatray ankehitriny fa manana demonia Hianao. Efa maty Abrahama sy ny mpaminany; nefa hoy Hianao: Raha misy olona mitandrina ny teniko, dia tsy mba hanandrana fahafatesana izy mandrakizay. (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
Moa Hianao va lehibe noho Abrahama rainay izay efa maty? sady efa maty koa ny mpaminany; manao Anao ho iza moa Hianao?
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.
Jesosy namaly hoe: Raha mankalaza ny tenako Aho, dia tsinontsinona ny lazako; ny Raiko, Izay ataonareo fa Andriamanitrareo, Izy no mankalaza Ahy.
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.
Tsy fantatrareo Izy, fa Izaho no mahalala Azy; ary raha hoy Izaho: Tsy fantatro Izy, dia mba mpandainga tahaka anareo koa Aho; nefa mahalala Azy Aho ka mitandrina ny teniny.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
Ravoravo Abrahama rainareo hahita ny androko; ary nahita izy ka faly.
57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
Dia hoy ny Jiosy taminy: Tsy mbola dimam-polo taona akory Hianao, ka dia efa nahita an’ i Abrahama va?
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
Hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Fony tsy mbola ary Abrahama, dia Izy Aho.
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.
Dia naka vato hitoraka Azy ny olona; fa Jesosy niery ka niala teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly.
