João 8

Tētahi Wahine i mau i te Pūremu

1 Ko Īhu ia i haere ki Maunga Ōriwa. 2 Ā, i te atatū ka hoki anō ia ki te temepara, ā, tae katoa ana te iwi ki a ia. Nā, ka noho ia, ka whakaako i a rātou. 3 Kātahi, ka ārahina mai ki a ia e ngā karaipi rātou ko ngā Parihi tētahi wahine i hopukia e pūremu ana; ā, whakatūria ana ki waenganui. 4 Ka mea rātou ki a ia, "E te Kaiwhakaako, i hopukia pūtia te wahine nei e pūremu ana. 5 I whakahau a Mohi ki a mātou i roto i te ture, kia ākina ngā pēnei ki te kōhatu. Tēnā koa tāu kī?" 6 I pēnei ai rātou he whakamātautau mōna, kia whai take ai rātou e whakapāngia ai he hē ki a ia. Ka piko a Īhu, ā, tuhituhi ana tōna ringa ki te whenua.

7 Ā, ka tohe tonu rātou ki te ui ki a ia ka whakatika ake ia, ka mea ki a rātou, "Ko te tangata o koutou kāhore ōna hara, māna te kōhatu mātāmua e āki ki a ia." 8 Nā, ka piko anō ia, ka tuhituhi ki te whenua.

9 Ā, i tō rātou rongonga, ka haere takitahi atu ki waho, nā ngā kaumātua i tīmata, ā poto noa ō muri rawa. Ā, ko Īhu anake i mahue, me te wahine e tū ana i waenganui. 10 Ā, ko te marangatanga ake o Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, "E tai, kei hea rātou? Kāhore he tangata i whakatau hē ki a koe?"

11 Anō rā ko tērā, "Kāhore, e te Ariki."

Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Kāhore anō hoki ahau e whakatau i te hē ki a koe; haere, kāti te hara."

Ko Īhu te Mārama o te Ao

12 I kī atu anō a Īhu ki a rātou, i mea, "Ko ahau te whakamārama o te ao; ki te aru tētahi i ahau, e kore ia e haere i te pōuri, engari, ka whiwhi ki te mārama o te ora."

13 Nā, ka mea ngā Parihi ki a ia, "Ko koe anō tōu kaiwhakaatu; ehara tāu i te whakaatu pono."

14 Ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, "Ahakoa ko ahau anō tōku kaiwhakaatu, he pono tāku whakaatu; nō te mea e mātau ana ahau ki te wāhi i haere mai ai ahau, ki te wāhi hoki e haere atu nei ahau; ko koutou ia kāhore e mātau ki te wāhi i haere mai ai ahau, ki te wāhi anō e haere atu nei ahau. 15 Nā te kikokiko tā koutou tikanga whakawā; e kore ahau e whakawā i tētahi. 16 Ā, ki te whakawā ahau, he tika tāku whakawā; ehara hoki i te mea ko ahau anake, engari, ko māua ko te Matua nāna nei ahau i tono mai. 17 Āe, kua oti anō te tuhituhi i roto i tō koutou ture, He pono te whakaatu a ngā tāngata tokorua. 18 Ko ahau tēnei hei kaiwhakaatu mōku anō, hei kaiwhakaatu anō mōku te Matua, nāna nei ahau i tono mai."

19 Nā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Kei hea tōu Matua?"

Ka whakahokia e Īhu, "Kāhore koutou e mātau ki ahau, kāhore anō ki tōku Matua; me i mātau koutou ki ahau, kua mātau anō ki tōku Matua."

20 I kōrerotia ēnei kupu e Īhu i te whare takotoranga taonga, i a ia e whakaako ana i roto i te temepara; ā, kāhore tētahi i hopu i a ia; kīanō hoki tōna hāora i taka noa.

E Kore Koe e Haere ki Tāku Haere

21 Me i reira ka kī atu anō a Īhu ki a rātou, "E haere atu ana ahau, ā, tērā koutou e rapu i ahau, e mate anō hoki i roto i tō koutou hara. E kore koutou e āhei te haere ake ki te wāhi e haere ai ahau."

22 Nā, ka mea ngā Hūrai, "E whakamate oti ia i a ia anō? Inā ia ka mea, ‘E kore koutou e āhei te haere ake ki te wāhi e haere ai ahau.’ "

23 Anō rā ko ia ki a rātou, "Nō raro nei koutou; nō runga ahau; nō tēnei ao koutou; ehara ahau i tēnei ao. 24 Koia ahau i mea ai ki a koutou, e mate koutou i roto i ō koutou hara; ki te kore hoki koutou e whakapono ko ahau ia, e mate koutou i roto i ō koutou hara."

25 Kātahi rātou ka mea ki a ia, "Ko wai koe?"

Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "Ko tāku anō kōrero ai ki a koutou i te tīmatanga. 26 He maha āku mea e kōrero ai, e whakawā ai mō koutou; otirā, e pono ana tōku kaitono mai; e kōrerotia ana hoki e ahau ki te ao ngā mea i rongo ai ahau ki a ia."

27 Kīhai rātou i mātau ko te Matua tāna i kōrero ai ki a rātou. 28 Kātahi a Īhu ka mea ki a rātou, "Kia oti te Tama a te tangata te whakairi e koutou, ko reira koutou mātau ai ko ahau ia, ā, e kore e meatia tētahi mea e ahau ake; engari, ko ā tōku Matua i whakaako mai ai ki ahau, ko ēnei āku e kōrero nei. 29 Kei ahau nei anō tōku kaitono mai; kīhai ahau i waiho e te Matua ko ahau anake, nō te mea e mahi tonu ana ahau i ngā mea e paingia ana e ia."

30 Nā, i a ia e kōrero ana i ēnei mea, he tokomaha i whakapono ki a ia.

Mā te Pono Koutou ka Rangatira ai

31 Me i reira ka mea a Īhu ki ngā Hūrai i whakapono ki a ia, "Ki te mau tonu koutou ki tāku kupu, he tino ākonga koutou nāku; 32 ā, e mātau koutou ki te pono, mā te pono anō koutou ka rangatira ai."

33 Ka whakahokia e rātou ki a ia, "He whānau mātou nā Āperahama, kāhore mātou i waiho noa hei pononga mā tētahi tangata. He aha tāu e mea, ‘Ka rangatira koutou’?"

34 Ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a rātou, "He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, he pononga nā te hara ngā kaimahi katoa i te hara. 35 E kore te pononga e noho tonu i te whare; ko te Tama ia e noho tonu ana. 36 Nā, i te mea ka whakarangatiratia koutou e te Tama, he tino rangatira koutou. 37 E mātau ana anō ahau, he whānau koutou nā Āperahama; heoi, e whai ana koutou kia whakamatea ahau, he kore hoki nō tāku kupu e mau i roto i a koutou. 38 E kōrerotia ana e ahau tāku i kite ai ki tōku Matua; e mahia ana e koutou tā koutou i kite ai ki tō koutou matua."

39 Ka whakahoki rātou, ka mea ki a ia, "Ko Āperahama tō mātou matua."

Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "Me he tamariki koutou nā Āperahama, kua mahia e koutou ngā mahi a Āperahama. 40 Tēnā ko tēnei, e whai ana koutou kia whakamatea ahau, te tangata nāna i kōrero te pono ki a koutou, tāku hoki i rongo ai ki te Atua. Kīhai a Āperahama i pēnā. 41 E mahi ana koutou i ngā mahi a tō koutou matua."

Kātahi rātou ka mea ki a ia, "Kīhai mātou i whānau pōriro; kotahi tō mātou Matua, ko te Atua."

42 Ka mea anō a Īhu ki a rātou, "Mehemea ko te Atua tō koutou Matua, kua aroha koutou ki ahau; i haere mai hoki ahau i te Atua, ā, kua tae mai nei. Kīhai hoki ahau i haere noa mai, engari, nāna ahau i tono mai. 43 He aha rā koutou tē mātau ai ki tāku kōrero? Nō te mea e kore koutou e āhei te whakarongo ki tāku kupu. 44 Nā tō koutou matua koutou, nā te rēwera, e pai ana hoki kia mea i tā tō koutou matua i hiahia ai. He kaikōhuru ia nō te tīmatanga, kīhai hoki i tū i roto i te pono, nō te mea kāhore he pono i roto i a ia. Ki te kōrero teka ia, e kōrero ana i āna; he kōrero teka hoki ia, ko te matua o te teka. 45 I tāku kōrerotanga i te pono, kāhore koutou e whakapono ki ahau. 46 Ko wai o koutou hei whakaatu he hara tōku? Ki te pono tāku kōrero, he aha koutou tē whakapono ai ki ahau? 47 E whakarongo ana te tangata a te Atua ki ngā kōrero a te Atua; koia koutou tē whakarongo ai, nō te mea ehara koutou i te Atua."

Ko Īhu rāua ko Āperahama

48 Nā, ka whakahoki ngā Hūrai, ka mea ki a ia, "Kāhore koia i tika tā mātou i mea rā, nō Hamaria koe, ā, he rēwera tōu?"

49 Ka whakahokia e Īhu, "Kāhore ōku rēwera; engari e whakahōnore ana ahau i tōku Matua, ko koutou ia te whakakāhore ana i te hōnore mōku. 50 Kāhore āku whai i te korōria mōku; tērā anō te kaiwhai, te kaiwhakatikatika. 51 He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ki te pupuri tētahi i tāku kupu, e kore rawa ia e kite i te mate."

52 Ka mea ngā Hūrai ki a ia, "Kātahi mātou ka mōhio he rēwera tōu. Kua mate a Āperahama rātou ko ngā poropiti, ā, e mea ana koe, ‘Ki te pupuri tētahi i tāku kupu, e kore rawa ia e pāngia e te mate.’ 53 He nui oti koe i tō mātou matua, i a Āperahama kua mate nei? Kua mate anō ngā poropiti. Ki tāu ko wai koe?"

54 Ka whakahokia e Īhu, "Ki te whakahōnore ahau i ahau anō, he hōnore noa tōku. Ko tōku Matua hei whakahōnore i ahau; ko tā koutou e mea nei ko ia tō koutou Atua. 55 Heoi, kāhore koutou i mātau ki a ia, ko ahau ia e mātau ana ki a ia, ā, ki te mea ahau, ‘Kāhore ahau e mātau ki a ia,’ he tangata teka ahau, he pēnā me koutou. Otirā, e mātau ana ahau ki a ia, e pupuri ana i tāna kupu. 56 I hari tō koutou matua, a Āperahama, mōna ka kite i tōku rā; i kite ia, ā, koa ake."

57 Kātahi, ka mea ngā Hūrai ki a ia "Kāhore noa i rima tekau noa ōu tau, ā, kua kite koe i a Āperahama?"

58 Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, kāhore noa anō a Āperahama, ko ahau tēnei." 59 Nā, ka mau rātou ki ētahi kōhatu hei epa ki a ia, heoi, huna ana a Īhu i a ia, puta ana i roto i te temepara.

1 but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst, 4 they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her? 6 And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. 7 But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. 9 And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst. 10 And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee? 11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.]

12 Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. 13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true. 14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go. 15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 16 Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 17 Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true. 18 I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. 19 They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also. 20 These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.

21 He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come. 22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come? 23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. 25 They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world. 27 They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father. 28 Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things. 29 And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him. 30 As he spake these things, many believed on him.

31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; 32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered unto him, We are Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin. 35 And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever. 36 If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you. 38 I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from your father. 39 They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. 45 But because I say the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God. 48 The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon? 49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me. 50 But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. 52 The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death. 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself? 54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God; 55 and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad. 57 The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am. 59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
