Iohannem 8
1 Iesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti:
but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 et diluculo iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus venit ad eum, et sedens docebat eos.
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.
3 Adducunt autem Scribae, et Pharisaei mulierem in adulterio deprehensam: et statuerunt eam in medio,
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
4 et dixerunt ei: Magister, haec mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio.
they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
5 In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis huiusmodi lapidare. Tu ergo quid dicis?
Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
6 Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Iesus autem inclinans se deorsum, digito scribebat in terra.
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.
7 Cum ergo perseverarent interrogantes eum, erexit se, et dixit eis: Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in illam lapidem mittat.
But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin amongst you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
8 Et iterum se inclinans, scribebat in terra.
Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
9 Audientes autem haec unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus: et remansit solus Iesus, et mulier in medio stans.
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.
10 Erigens autem se Iesus, dixit ei: Mulier, ubi sunt, qui te accusabant? nemo te condemnavit?
Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11 Quae dixit: Nemo, Domine. Dixit autem Iesus: Nec ego te condemnabo: Vade, et iam amplius noli peccare.
She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
12 Iterum ergo locutus est eis Iesus, dicens: Ego sum lux mundi: qui sequitur me, non ambulat in tenebris, sed habebit lumen vitae.
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.”
13 Dixerunt ergo ei Pharisaei: Tu de teipso testimonium perhibes: testimonium tuum non est verum.
The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
14 Respondit Iesus, et dixit eis: Et si ego testimonium perhibeo de meipso, verum est testimonium meum: quia scio unde veni, et quo vado: vos autem nescitis unde venio, aut quo vado.
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.
15 Vos secundum carnem iudicatis: ego non iudico quemquam:
You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16 et si iudico ego, iudicium meum verum est, quia solus non sum: sed ego, et qui misit me, Pater.
Even if I do judge, my judgement is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 Et in lege vestra scriptum est, quia duorum hominum testimonium verum est.
It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 Ego sum, qui testimonium perhibeo de me ipso: et testimonium perhibet de me, qui misit me, Pater.
I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
19 Dicebant ergo ei: Ubi est Pater tuus? Respondit Iesus: Neque me scitis, neque Patrem meum: si me sciretis, forsitan et Patrem meum sciretis.
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.”
20 Haec verba locutus est Iesus in gazophylacio, docens in templo: et nemo apprehendit eum, quia necdum venerat hora eius.
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.
21 Dixit ergo iterum eis Iesus: Ego vado, et quaeretis me, et in peccato vestro moriemini. Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire.
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.”
22 Dicebant ergo Iudaei: Numquid interficiet semetipsum, quia dixit: Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire?
The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
23 Et dicebat eis: Vos de deorsum estis, ego de superius sum. Vos de mundo hoc estis, ego non sum de hoc mundo.
He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24 Dixi ergo vobis quia moriemini in peccatis vestris: si enim non credideritis quia ego sum, moriemini in peccato vestro.
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.”
25 Dicebant ergo ei: Tu quis es? Dixit eis Iesus: Principium, qui et loquor vobis.
They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
26 Multa habeo de vobis loqui, et iudicare. sed qui me misit, verax est: et ego quae audivi ab eo, haec loquor in mundo.
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.”
27 Et non cognoverunt quia Patrem eius dicebat Deum.
They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
28 Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Cum exaltaveritis Filium hominis, tunc cognoscetis quia ego sum, et a meipso facio nihil, sed sicut docuit me Pater, haec loquor:
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.
29 et qui me misit, mecum est, et non reliquit me solum: quia ego quae placita sunt ei, facio semper.
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.”
30 Haec illo loquente, multi crediderunt in eum.
As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31 Dicebat ergo Iesus ad eos, qui crediderunt ei, Iudaeos: Si vos manseritis in sermone meo, vere discipuli mei eritis:
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32 et cognoscetis veritatem, et veritas liberabit vos.
You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
33 Responderunt ei: Semen Abrahae sumus, et nemini servivimus umquam: quomodo tu dicis: Liberi eritis?
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’?”
34 Respondit eis Iesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: quia omnis, qui facit peccatum, servus est peccati.
Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
36 si ergo vos filius liberaverit, vere liberi eritis.
If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
37 Scio quia filii Abrahae estis: sed quaeritis me interficere, quia sermo meus non capit in vobis.
I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 Ego quod vidi apud Patrem meum, loquor: et vos quae vidistis apud patrem vestrum, facitis.
I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
39 Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Pater noster Abraham est. Dicit eis Iesus: Si filii Abrahae estis, opera Abrahae facite.
They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
40 Nunc autem quaeritis me interficere, hominem, qui veritatem vobis locutus sum, quam audivi a Deo: hoc Abraham non fecit.
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.
41 Vos facitis opera patris vestri. Dixerunt itaque ei: Nos ex fornicatione non sumus nati: unum patrem habemus Deum.
You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
42 Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Si Deus pater vester esset: diligeretis utique et me. ego enim ex Deo processi, et veni: neque enim a meipso veni, sed ille me misit.
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.
43 Quare loquelam meam non cognoscitis? Quia non potestis audire sermonem meum.
Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
44 Vos ex patre diabolo estis: et desideria patris vestri vultis facere. ille homicida erat ab initio, et in veritate non stetit: quia non est veritas in eo: cum loquitur mendacium, ex propriis loquitur, quia mendax est, et pater eius.
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.
45 Ego autem si veritatem dico, non creditis mihi.
But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
46 Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? Si veritatem dico vobis, quare non creditis mihi?
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Qui ex Deo est, verba Dei audit. Propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis.
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
48 Responderunt ergo Iudaei, et dixerunt ei: Nonne bene dicimus nos quia Samaritanus es tu, et daemonium habes?
Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
49 Respondit Iesus: Ego daemonium non habeo: sed honorifico Patrem meum, et vos inhonorastis me.
Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honour my Father and you dishonour me.
50 Ego autem non quaero gloriam meam: est qui quaerat, et iudicet.
But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
51 Amen, amen dico vobis: si quis sermonem meum servaverit, mortem non videbit in aeternum. (aiōn g165)
Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.” (aiōn g165)
52 Dixerunt ergo Iudaei: Nunc cognovimus quia daemonium habes. Abraham mortuus est, et Prophetae: et tu dicis: Si quis sermonem meum servaverit, non gustabit mortem in aeternum. (aiōn g165)
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)
53 Numquid tu maior es patre nostro Abraham, qui mortuus est? et Prophetae mortui sunt. Quem te ipsum facis?
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
54 Respondit Iesus: Si ego glorifico meipsum, gloria mea nihil est: est Pater meus, qui glorificat me, quem vos dicitis quia Deus vester est,
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.
55 et non cognovistis eum: ego autem novi eum: Et si dixero quia non scio eum, ero similis vobis, mendax. Sed scio eum, et sermonem eius servo.
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.
56 Abraham pater vester exultavit ut videret diem meum: vidit, et gavisus est.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
57 Dixerunt ergo Iudaei ad eum: Quinquaginta annos nondum habes, et Abraham vidisti?
The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
58 Dixit eis Iesus: Amen, amen dico vobis, antequam Abraham fieret, ego sum.
Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
59 Tulerunt ergo lapides, ut iacerent in eum: Iesus autem abscondit se, et exivit de templo.
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.
