¹And at dawn he came again to the temple,

¹耶稣不定犯奸淫妇人的罪

²and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;

²黎明的时候，他又到圣殿去，众人都来到他那里，他就坐下教导他们。

³and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

³经学家和法利赛人带了一个行淫时被抓到的妇人来，叫她站在中间，

⁴they say to him, `Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,

⁴就对耶稣说：“先生，这妇人是正在犯奸淫的时候被抓到的。

⁵and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?`

⁵摩西在律法上吩咐我们把这样的妇人用石头打死，你怎样说呢？”

⁶and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

⁶他们说这话是要试探耶稣，要找把柄来控告他。耶稣却弯下身，用指头在地上写字。

⁷and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, `The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;`

⁷他们不住地问耶稣，他就挺起身来，说：“你们中间谁是没有罪的，他就可以先拿起石头打她。”

⁸and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

⁸于是又弯下身在地上写字。

⁹and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

⁹他们听了这话，就从年老的开始，一个一个地都离开了，留下的只有耶稣和那个还站在那里的妇人。

¹⁰And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, `Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?`

¹⁰耶稣挺起身来，问她：“妇人，他们在哪里？没有人定你的罪吗？”

¹¹and she said, `No one, Sir;` and Jesus said to her, `Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.`

¹¹她说：“主啊！没有。”耶稣说：“我也不定你的罪。走吧，从现在起不要再犯罪了。”

¹²Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, `I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.`

¹²耶稣是世界的光耶稣又对众人说：“我是世界的光，跟从我的，必定不在黑暗里走，却要得着生命的光。”

¹³The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, `Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;`

¹³法利赛人对他说：“你为自己作证，你的见证不是真实的。”

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, `And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁴耶稣回答：“即使我为自己作证，我的见证还是真实的，因为我知道我从哪里来，往哪里去，但你们却不知道我从哪里来，往哪里去。

¹⁵`Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,

¹⁵你们按着外貌判断人，我却不判断人。

¹⁶and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

¹⁶即使我判断人，我的判断也是正确的，因为我不是独自一人，而是差我来的父和我在一起。

¹⁷and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;

¹⁷你们的律法上也写着：‘两个人的见证才是真的。’

¹⁸I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.`

¹⁸我为自己作证，差我来的父也为我作证。”

¹⁹They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?` Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.`

¹⁹他们问：“你的父在哪里？”耶稣回答：“你们不认识我，也不认识我的父；如果你们认识我，也就认识我的父了。”

²⁰These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;

²⁰这些话是耶稣在殿里教导人的时候，在银库的院中说的。当时没有人逮捕他，因为他的时候还没有到。

²¹therefore said Jesus again to them, `I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.`

²¹不信基督的必在罪中死亡耶稣又对他们说：“我要去了，你们要寻找我，并且要在自己的罪中死亡；我去的地方，你们不能到。”

²²The Jews, therefore, said, `Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?`

²²于是犹太人说：“他说‘我去的地方，你们不能到’，难道他要自杀吗？”

²³and he said to them, `Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;

²³耶稣说：“你们是从地上来的，我是从天上来的；你们属这世界，我却不属这世界，

²⁴I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.`

²⁴所以我对你们说，你们要在自己的罪中死亡；你们若不信我就是‘那一位’，就要在自己的罪中死亡。”

²⁵They said, therefore, to him, `Thou — who art thou?` and Jesus said to them, `Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;

²⁵他们就问：“你是谁？”耶稣说：“我不是从起初就告诉你们吗？

²⁶many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.`

²⁶关于你们，我有许多事要说，要判断；但那差我来的是真实的，我从他那里听见的，就告诉世人。”

²⁷They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;

²⁷他们不明白耶稣是对他们讲论父的事。

²⁸Jesus, therefore, said to them, `When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

²⁸所以耶稣说：“你们举起了人子以后，必定知道我就是‘那一位’，并且知道我不凭着自己作什么事；我说的这些话，是照着父所教导我的。

²⁹and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.`

²⁹那差我来的和我同在，他没有留下我独自一人，因为我常作他喜悦的事。”

³⁰As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;

³⁰耶稣说这些话的时候，就有许多人信了他。

³¹Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, `If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

³¹真理必使人自由于是耶稣对信了他的犹太人说：“你们若持守我的道，就真是我的门徒了；

³²and the truth shall make you free.`

³²你们必定认识真理，真理必定使你们自由。”

³³They answered him, `Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?`

³³他们说：“我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔，从来没有被谁奴役过，你怎么说‘你们必得自由’呢？”

³⁴Jesus answered them, `Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,

³⁴耶稣说：“我实实在在告诉你们，凡犯罪的都是罪的奴隶。

³⁵and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age;

³⁵奴隶不能永远住在家里，唯有儿子才可以永远住在家里。

³⁶if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.

³⁶所以，　神的儿子若使你们自由，你们就真的得自由了。

³⁷`I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;

³⁷我知道你们是亚伯拉罕的后裔；但你们想杀我，因为你们心里不能容纳我的道。

³⁸I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.`

³⁸我所说的，是我在父那里看见的；但你们所作的，却是从你们的父那里听见的。”

³⁹They answered and said to him, `Our father is Abraham;` Jesus saith to them, `If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;

³⁹魔鬼的儿女不肯听主的道他们说：“我们的祖宗是亚伯拉罕。”耶稣说：“你们若是亚伯拉罕的子孙，就必作亚伯拉罕所作的。

⁴⁰and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;

⁴⁰现在我把从　神那里听见的真理告诉了你们，你们竟然想杀我，这不是亚伯拉罕所作的。

⁴¹ye do the works of your father.` They said, therefore, to him, `We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;`

⁴¹你们要作的，正是你们的父要作的。”他们说：“我们不是从淫乱生的；我们只有一位父，就是　神。”

⁴²Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

⁴²耶稣说：“如果　神是你们的父，你们就必爱我，因为我是从　神那里来的；我已经来到这里。我不是凭着自己来的，而是　神差了我来。

⁴³wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

⁴³你们为什么不明白我的话呢？因为我的道你们听不进去。

⁴⁴`Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.

⁴⁴你们是出于你们的父魔鬼，喜欢按着你们的父的私欲行事。他从起初就是杀人的凶手，不守真理，因为他心里没有真理。他说谎是出于本性，因为他本来就是说谎者，也是说谎的人的父。

⁴⁵`And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

⁴⁵我讲真理，你们却因此不信我。

⁴⁶Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

⁴⁶你们中间有谁能指证我有罪呢？我既然讲真理，你们为什么不信我呢？

⁴⁷he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.`

⁴⁷出于　神的，就听　神的话；你们不听，因为你们不是出于　神的。”

⁴⁸The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, `Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?`

⁴⁸亚伯拉罕以前耶稣已存在犹太人对耶稣说：“我们说你是撒玛利亚人，并且是鬼附的，不是很对吗？”

⁴⁹Jesus answered, `I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;

⁴⁹耶稣回答：“我不是鬼附的。我尊敬我的父，你们却侮辱我。

⁵⁰and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;

⁵⁰我不求自己的荣耀，但有一位是为我求荣耀，并且是审判人的。

⁵¹verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.`

⁵¹我实实在在告诉你们，人若遵守我的道，必定永远不见死亡。”

⁵²The Jews, therefore, said to him, `Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age!

⁵²犹太人对他说：“现在我们知道你的确是鬼附的。亚伯拉罕死了，先知们也死了，你还说‘人若遵守我的道，必定永远不尝死味’，

⁵³Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?`

⁵³难道你比我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕还大吗？他死了，先知们也死了；你把自己当作什么人呢？”

⁵⁴Jesus answered, `If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;

⁵⁴耶稣回答：“如果我荣耀自己，我的荣耀就算不得什么；那使我得荣耀的是我的父，就是你们说是你们的　神的那一位。

⁵⁵and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;

⁵⁵可是你们不认识他，我却认识他。如果我说我不认识他，我就像你们一样是说谎的；然而我认识他，也遵守他的道。

⁵⁶Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.`

⁵⁶你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕，因为可以看见我的日子就欢喜，既然看见了，他就很快乐。”

⁵⁷The Jews, therefore, said unto him, `Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?`

⁵⁷犹太人对他说：“你还不到五十岁，怎会见过亚伯拉罕呢？”

⁵⁸Jesus said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham`s coming — I am;`

⁵⁸耶稣说：“我实实在在告诉你们，亚伯拉罕出生以前，我已经存在了。”

⁵⁹they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

⁵⁹于是他们拿起石头要打他。耶稣却躲起来，从殿里出去了。
