¹Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

¹[fa Jesosy kosa nankany an-tendrombohitra Oliva]

²And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

²[Ary nony maraina koa dia nankeo an-kianjan'ny tempoly indray Jesosy, ary ny vahoaka rehetra nanatona Azy, dia nipetraka Izy ka nampianatra azy]

³And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

³[Ary nisy vehivavy anankiray azo nijangajanga nentin'ny mpanora-dalàna sy ny Fariseo; ary rehefa napetrany teo afovoany izy,]

⁴They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

⁴[dia hoy ireo taminy: Mpampianatra ô, ity vehivavy ity azo olan-tanana nijangajanga]

⁵Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

⁵[Ary ao amin'ny lalàna Mosesy dia nandidy antsika fa hotoraham-bato izay vehivavy manao toy izany (Deo. 22. 22-24); fa ahoana kosa hoy Hianao?]

⁶This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

⁶[Izany no nolazainy hakany fanahy Azy, mba hahazoany izay hiampangany Azy. Fa Jesosy niondrika ka nanoratra teo amin'ny tany tamin'ny rantsan-tànany]

⁷So 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.

⁷[Ary raha naharitra nanontany Azy ireo, dia nitraka Izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Izay tsy nanota eo aminareo no aoka hitora-bato azy voalohany]

⁸And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

⁸[Dia niondrika indray Izy ka nanoratra teo amin'ny tany tamin'ny rantsan-tànany]

⁹And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

⁹[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]

¹⁰When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

¹⁰[Ary rehefa nitraka Jesosy, dia hoy Izy taminy; Ravehivavy, aiza ireny? Tsy nisy nanameloka anao va?]

¹¹She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

¹¹[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]

¹²Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

¹²Ary 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.

¹³The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.

¹³Ary hoy ny Fariseo taminy: Hianao manambara ny tenanao, koa tsy marina ny fanambaranao.

¹⁴Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

¹⁴Jesosy 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.

¹⁵Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

¹⁵Hianareo mitsara araka ny nofo; Izaho tsy mitsara olona na dia iray akory aza.

¹⁶And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁶Ary na dia mitsara aza Aho, dia marina ny fitsarako, satria tsy irery Aho, fa Izaho sy ny Ray Izay naniraka Ahy.

¹⁷It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁷Ary voasoratra ao amin'ny lalànareo fa marina ny fanambaran'ny olona roa lahy (Deo. 19. 15).

¹⁸I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

¹⁸Izaho no manambara ny tenako, ary ny Ray Izay naniraka Ahy dia manambara Ahy koa.

¹⁹Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

¹⁹Dia 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.

²⁰These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

²⁰Izany 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.

²¹Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

²¹Ary hoy indray Jesosy taminy: Handeha Aho, ary hitady Ahy ianareo, ary ho faty amin'ny fahotanareo; izay alehako tsy azonareo haleha.

²²Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

²²Dia hoy ny Jiosy: Hamono tena va Izy, no manao hoe: Izay alehako tsy azonareo haleha?

²³And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

²³Fa 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;

²⁴I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

²⁴koa 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.

²⁵Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

²⁵Dia hoy ireo taminy: Iza moa Hianao? Hoy Jesosy taminy: Ilay nolazaiko taminareo hatramin'ny voalohany. [Na: Ilay lazaiko aminareo indrindra]

²⁶I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

²⁶Manana zavatra maro hilazana sy hitsarana anareo Aho, satria marina Izay naniraka Ahy; ary izay zavatra efa reko taminy no lazaiko amin'izao tontolo izao.

²⁷They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

²⁷Tsy fantany fa ny Ray no nolazainy taminy,

²⁸Then said Jesus unto them, 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 my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

²⁸ka 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.

²⁹And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

²⁹Ary izay naniraka Ahy dia eto amiko; tsy nandao Ahy ho irery Izy, satria Izaho manao izay sitrany mandrakariva.

³⁰As he spake these words, many believed on him.

³⁰Raha nanao izany teny izany Jesosy, dia maro no nino Azy.

³¹Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

³¹Dia hoy Jesosy tamin'ny Jiosy izay nino Azy: Raha maharitra amin'ny teniko ianareo, dia ho mpianatro tokoa;

³²And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³²ka ho fantatrareo ny marina, ary ny marina hahafaka anareo tsy ho andevo.

³³They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

³³Ary 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?

³⁴Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

³⁴Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa fa izay rehetra manota dia andevon'ny ota.

³⁵And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

³⁵Fa ny andevo tsy mitoetra ao an-trano mandrakariva; fa ny zanaka no mitoetra mandrakariva. [Gr. mandrakizay]

³⁶If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

³⁶Koa raha ny Zanaka no hahafaka anareo, dia ho afaka tokoa ianareo.

³⁷I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

³⁷Fantatro ihany fa taranak'i Abrahama ianareo, nefa mitady hamono Ahy, satria ny teniko tsy mitombo ao anatinareo.

³⁸I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

³⁸Izay efa hitako tamin'ny Ray no lazaiko, ary ianareo kosa manao izay renareo tamin'ny rainareo.

³⁹They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

³⁹Dia namaly ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Abrahama no rainay. Hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha zanak'i Abrahama ianareo, dia ny asan'i Abrahama no hataonareo.

⁴⁰But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

⁴⁰Fa ankehitriny ianareo mitady hamono Ahy, Izay Lehilahy nilaza ny marina taminareo, dia izay efa reko tamin'Andriamanitra; tsy mba nanao izany Abrahama.

⁴¹Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

⁴¹Hianareo manao ny asan'ny rainareo. Hoy ireo taminy: Tsy mba teraka avy tamin'ny fijangajangana izahay; iray Ray izahay, dia Andriamanitra ihany.

⁴²Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

⁴²Hoy 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.

⁴³Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴³Nahoana no tsy azonareo ny teniko? satria tsy mahay mihaino ny teniko ianareo.

⁴⁴Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode 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 of it.

⁴⁴Hianareo 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. [Na: (mitoetra amin')]

⁴⁵And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

⁴⁵Fa satria milaza ny marina Aho, dia tsy inoanareo.

⁴⁶Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

⁴⁶Iza moa aminareo no mampiseho Ahy ho nanota? Raha ny marina no lazaiko, nahoana ianareo no tsy mino Ahy?

⁴⁷He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁷Izay avy amin'Andriamanitra dia mihaino ny tenin'Andriamanitra; izany no tsy ihainoanareo, satria tsy mba avy amin'Andriamanitra ianareo.

⁴⁸Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴⁸Dia namaly ny Jiosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy marina va ny filazanay fa Samaritana Hianao sady manana demonia?

⁴⁹Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

⁴⁹Jesosy namaly hoe: Izaho tsy manana demonia, fa mankalaza ny Raiko, ary ianareo kosa mahafa-boninahitra Ahy.

⁵⁰And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

⁵⁰Fa Izaho tsy mitady ny voninahitro; misy Iray mitady sy mitsara.

⁵¹Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

⁵¹Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Raha misy olona mitandrina ny teniko, dia tsy mba hahita fahafatesana izy mandrakizay.

⁵²Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

⁵²Dia 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.

⁵³Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

⁵³Moa Hianao va lehibe noho Abrahama rainay izay efa maty? sady efa maty koa ny mpaminany; manao Anao ho iza moa Hianao?

⁵⁴Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

⁵⁴Jesosy namaly hoe: Raha mankalaza ny tenako Aho, dia tsinontsinona ny lazako; ny Raiko, Izay ataonareo fa Andriamanitrareo, Izy no mankalaza Ahy.

⁵⁵Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

⁵⁵Tsy 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.

⁵⁶Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

⁵⁶Ravoravo Abrahama rainareo hahita ny androko; ary nahita izy ka faly.

⁵⁷Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

⁵⁷Dia hoy ny Jiosy taminy: Tsy mbola dimam-polo taona akory Hianao, ka dia efa nahita an'i Abrahama va?

⁵⁸Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

⁵⁸Hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Fony tsy mbola ary Abrahama, dia Izy Aho.Dia naka vato hitoraka Azy ny olona; fa Jesosy niery ka niala teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly. [Ampio hoe: ary namaky teo afovoan'ny olona ka lasa]

⁵⁹Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

⁵⁹Dia naka vato hitoraka Azy ny olona; fa Jesosy niery ka niala teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly. [Ampio hoe: ary namaky teo afovoan'ny olona ka lasa]
