¹And at dawn he came again to the temple,

¹¶ Ko Ihu i haere ki Maunga Oriwa.

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

²A i te atatu ka hoki ano ia ki te temepara, a tae katoa ana te iwi ki a ia; na ka noho ia, ka whakaako i a ratou.

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

³Katahi ka arahina mai ki a ia e nga karaipi ratou ko nga Parihi tetahi wahine i hopukia e puremu ana; a whakaturia ana ki waenganui.

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

⁴Ka mea ratou ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, i hopukia putia te wahine nei e puremu ana.

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

⁵I whakahau a Mohi ki a matou i roto i te ture, kia akina nga penei ki te kohatu: tena koa tau ki?

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,

⁶I penei ai ratou he whakamatautau mona, kia whai take ai ratou e whakapangia ai he he ki a ia. Ka piko a Ihu, a tuhituhi ana tona ringa ki te whenua.

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;`

⁷A ka tohe tonu ratou ki te ui ki a ia, ka whakatika ake ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te tangata o koutou kahore ona hara, mana te kohatu matamua e aki ki a ia.

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

⁸Na ka piko ano ia, ka tuhituhi ki te whenua.

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.

⁹A, i to ratou rongonga, ka haere takitahi atu ki waho, na nga kaumatua i timata, a poto noa o muri rawa: a ko Ihu anake i mahue, me te wahine e tu ana i waenganui.

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?`

¹⁰A, ko te marangatanga ake o Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E tai, kei hea ratou? kahore he tangata i whakatatau he ki a koe?

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.`

¹¹Ano ra ko tera, Kahore, e te Ariki. Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kahore ano hoki ahau e whakatau i te he ki a koe: haere, kati te hara.

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¶ I ki atu ano a Ihu ki a ratou, i mea, Ko ahau te whakamarama o te ao: ki te aru tetahi i ahau, e kore ia e haere i te pouri, engari ka whiwhi ki te marama o te ora.

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

¹³Na ka mea nga Parihi ki a ia, Ko koe ano tou kaiwhakaatu; ehara tau i te whakaatu pono.

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.

¹⁴Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Ahakoa ko ahau ano toku kaiwhakaatu, he pono taku whakaatu: no te mea e matau ana ahau ki te wahi i haere mai ai ahau, ki te wahi hoki e haere atu nei ahau; ko koutou ia kahore e matau ki te wahi i haere ma i ai ahau, ki te wahi ano e haere atu nei ahau.

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

¹⁵Na te kikokiko ta koutou tikanga whakawa; e kore ahau e whakawa i tetahi.

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

¹⁶A ki te whakawa ahau, he tika taku whakawa; ehara hoki i te mea ko ahau anake, engari ko maua ko te Matua nana nei ahau i tono mai.

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

¹⁷Ae, kua oti ano te tuhituhi i roto i to koutou ture, He pono te whakaatu a nga tangata tokorua.

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

¹⁸Ko ahau tenei hei kaiwhakaatu moku ano, hei kaiwhakaatu ano moku te Matua, nana nei ahau i tono mai.

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.`

¹⁹Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kei hea tou Matua? Ka whakahokia e Ihu, Kahore koutou e matau ki ahau, kahore ano ki toku Matua: me i matau koutou ki ahau, kua matau ano ki toku Matua.

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

²⁰I korerotia enei kupu e Ihu i te whare takotoranga taonga, i a ia e whakaako ana i roto i te temepara: a kahore tetahi i hopu i a ia; kiano hoki tona haora i taka noa.

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¶ Me i reira ka ki atu ano a Ihu ki a ratou, E haere atu ana ahau, a tera koutou e rapu i ahau, e mate ano hoki i roto i to koutou hara: e kore koutou e ahei te haere ake ki te wahi e haere ai ahau.

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

²²Na ka mea nga Hurai, E whakamate oti ia i a ia ano? ina ia ka mea, E kore koutou e ahei te haere ake ki te wahi e haere ai ahau.

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

²³Ano ra ko ia ki a ratou, Na raro nei koutou; no runga ahau: no tenei ao koutou; ehara ahau i tenei ao.

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.`

²⁴Koia ahau i mea ai ki a koutou, E mate koutou i roto i o koutou hara: ki te kore hoki koutou e whakapono ko ahau ia, e mate koutou i roto i o koutou hara.

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;

²⁵Katahi ratou ka mea ki a ia, Ko wai koe? Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Ko taku ano i korero ai ki a koutou i te timatanga.

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.`

²⁶He maha aku mea e korero ai, e whakawa ai mo koutou: otira e pono ana toku kaitono mai; e korerotia ana hoki e ahau ki te ao nga mea i rongo ai ahau ki a ia.

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

²⁷Kihai ratou i matau ko te Matua tana i korero ai ki a ratou.

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;

²⁸Katahi a Ihu ka mea ki a ratou, Kia oti te Tama a te tangata te whakairi e koutou, ko reira koutou matau ai ko ahau ia, a e kore e meatia tetahi mea e ahau ake; engari ko a toku Matua i whakaako mai ai ki ahau, ko enei aku e korero nei.

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

²⁹Kei ahau nei ano toku kaitono mai: kihai ahau i waiho e te Matua ko ahau anake; no te mea e mahi tonu ana ahau i nga mea e paingia ana e ia.

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

³⁰Na i a ia e korero ana i enei mea, he tokomaha i whakapono ki a ia.

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¶ Me i reira ka mea a Ihu ki nga Hurai i whakapono ki a ia, Ki te mau tonu koutou ki taku kupu, he tino akonga koutou naku;

³²and the truth shall make you free.`

³²A e matau koutou ki te pono, ma te pono ano koutou ka rangatira ai.

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?`

³³Ka whakahokia e ratou ki a ia, He whanau matou na Aperahama, kahore matou i waiho noa hei pononga ma tetahi tangata: he aha tau e mea, ka rangatira koutou?

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

³⁴Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ratou, He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, He pononga na te hara nga kaimahi katoa i te hara.

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

³⁵E kore te pononga e noho tonu i te whare: ko te Tama ia e noho tonu ana.

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

³⁶Na i te mea ka whakarangatiratia koutou e te Tama, he tino rangatira koutou.

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

³⁷E matau ana ano ahau, he whanau koutou na Aperahama; heoi e whai ana koutou kia whakamatea ahau, he kore hoki no taku kupu e mau i roto i a koutou.

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¶ E korerotia ana e ahau taku i kite ai ki toku Matua: e mahia ana e koutou ta koutou i kite ai ki to koutou matua.

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;

³⁹Ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, Ko Aperahama to matou matua, Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Me he tamariki koutou na Aperahama, kua mahia e koutou nga mahi a Aperahama.

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

⁴⁰Tena ko tenei e whai ana koutou kia whakamatea ahau, te tangata nana i korero te pono ki a koutou, taku hoki i rongo ai ki te Atua: kihai a Aperahama i pena.

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

⁴¹E mahi ana koutou i nga mahi a to koutou matua. Katahi ratou ka mea ki a ia, Kihai matou i whanau poriro; kotahi to matou Matua, ko te Atua.

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;

⁴²Ka mea ano a Ihu ki a ratou, Mehemea ko te Atua to koutou Matua, kua aroha koutou ki ahau: i haere mai hoki ahau i te Atua, a kua tae mai nei; kihai hoki ahau i haere noa mai, engari nana ahau i tono mai.

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

⁴³He aha ra koutou te matau ai ki taku korero? no te mea e kore koutou e ahei te whakarongo ki taku kupu.

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.

⁴⁴Na to koutou matua koutou, na te rewera, e pai ana hoki kia mea i ta to koutou matua i hiahia ai. He kaikohuru ia no te timatanga, kihai hoki tu i roto i te pono, no te mea kahore he pono i roto i a ia. Ki te korero teka ia, e korero ana i ana: he korero teka hoki ia, ko te matua o te teka.

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

⁴⁵I taku korerotanga i te pono, kahore koutou e whakapono ki ahau.

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

⁴⁶¶ Ko wai o koutou hei whakaatu he hara toku? Ki te pono taku korero, he aha koutou te whakapono ai ki ahau?

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.`

⁴⁷E whakarongo ana te tangata a te Atua ki nga korero a te Atua: koia koutou te whakarongo ai, no te mea ehara koutou i te Atua.

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

⁴⁸Na ka whakahoki nga Hurai, ka mea ki a ia, Kahore koia i tika ta matou i mea ra, No hamaria koe, a he rewera tou?

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

⁴⁹Ka whakahokia e Ihu, Kahore oku rewera; engari e whakahonore ana ahau i toku Matua, ko koutou ia te whakakahore ana i te honore moku.

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

⁵⁰Kahore aku whai i te kororia moku: tera ano te kaiwhai, te kaiwhakatikatika.

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

⁵¹¶ He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te pupuri tetahi i taku kupu, e kore rawa ia e kite i te mate.

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!

⁵²Ka mea nga Hurai ki a ia, Katahi matou ka mohio he rewera tou. Kua mate a Aperahama ratou ko nga poropiti, a e mea ana koe, Ki te pupuri tetahi i taku kupu, e kore rawa ia e pangia e te mate.

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

⁵³He nui oti koe i to matou matua, i a Aperahama kua mate nei? kua mate ano nga poropiti: ki tau ko wai koe?

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;

⁵⁴Ka whakahokia e Ihu, Ki te whakahonore ahau i ahau ano, he honore noa toku: ko toku Matua hei whakahonore i ahau; ko ta koutou e mea nei ko ia to koutou Atua:

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;

⁵⁵Heoi kahore koutou i matau ki a ia; ko ahau ia e matau ana ki a ia: a ki te mea ahua, Kahore ahau e matau ki a ia, he tangata teka ahau, he pena me koutou: otira e matau ana ahau ki a ia, e pupuri ana i tana kupu.

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

⁵⁶I hari to koutou matua, a Aperahama, mona ka kite i toku ra: i kite ia, a koa ake.

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

⁵⁷Katahi ka mea nga Hurai ki a ia, Kahore noa i rima tekau noa ou tau, a kua kite koe i a Aperahama?

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

⁵⁸Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore noa ano a Aperahama, ko ahau tenei.

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.

⁵⁹Na ka mau ratou ki etahi kohatu hei epa ki a ia: heoi huna ana a Ihu i a ia, puta ana i roto i te temepara.
