¹but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

¹¶ Ko Ihu i haere ki Maunga Oriwa.

²Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught 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.

³The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. 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 told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.

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

⁵Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such. Leviticus 20:10; Deuteronomy 22:22 What then do you say about her?”

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

⁶They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.

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.

⁷But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first 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.

⁸Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

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

⁹They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.

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.

¹⁰Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”

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?

¹¹She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”

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 spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Isaiah 60:1 He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of 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, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

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

¹⁴Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.

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 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

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

¹⁶ Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with 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.

¹⁷ It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid. Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15

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

¹⁸ I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about 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 your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

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.

²⁰Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested 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.

²¹Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t 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, that he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t 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.

²³He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You 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.

²⁴ I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am or, I AM he, you will 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, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from 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.

²⁶ I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which 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 didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

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

²⁸Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.

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.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

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 spoke 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 to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

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;

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Psalm 119:45

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

³³They answered him, “We are Abraham’s seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made 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, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of 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.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

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

³⁶ If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

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

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham’s seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds 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.

³⁸ I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

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 him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

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.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

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.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, 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.

⁴²Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t 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.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t 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 You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its 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 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

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

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you 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?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

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.

⁴⁸Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have 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 don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor 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.

⁵⁰ But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

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

⁵¹ Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

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.

⁵²Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’

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.

⁵³Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”

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 glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our 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:

⁵⁵ You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.

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.

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

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

⁵⁷The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”

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, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM. or, 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.

⁵⁹Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through their midst, 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.
