¹[fa Jesosy kosa nankany an-tendrombohitra Oliva]

¹And at dawn he came again to the temple,

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]

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

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

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

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

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

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?]

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

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]

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,

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]

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;`

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

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

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]

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.

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

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?`

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]

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.`

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.

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.`

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.`

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.

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

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

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.`

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

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

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;

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

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.

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.`

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

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;

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.

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.`

²⁷Tsy fantany fa ny Ray no nolazainy taminy,

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

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.

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;

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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

³²and the truth shall make you 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?

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?`

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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;

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

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

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

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

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.

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;

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

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

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')]

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.`

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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;

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.

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;

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

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

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

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

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]

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

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]

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.
