¹but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

¹ Yeesu moom, dem ca tundu Oliw ya.

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.

² Ca ëllëg sa ca fajar, mu dellu ca kër Yàlla ga, mbooloo ma fa teewoon wër ko. Mu toog, tàmbali di leen jàngal.

³The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst,

³ Xutbakat ya ak Farisen ya indi jenn jigéen ju ñu bettoon muy njaaloo, ñu taxawal ko ca diggu mbooloo ma.

⁴they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.

⁴ Noonu ñu ne Yeesu: «Kilifa gi, jigéen jii de, dañu koo bett muy njaaloo.

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

⁵ Ci ndigali Yàlla yi, jigéen ju njaaloo, Musaa dafa santaane ñu sànni ko ay xeer, ba mu dee. Yaw nag, lu ciy sa xalaat?»

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.

⁶ Loolu nag, dañu ko doon wax ngir seetlu ko, ndaxte bëggoon nañoo tiiñal Yeesu. Yeesu sëgg, di bind ak baaraamam ci suuf.

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.”

⁷ Bi laaj ya baree, mu siggi ne leen: «Ku musul a def bàkkaar ci yéen, na ko jëkk a sànniy xeer.»

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

⁸ Noonu mu sëggaat, dellu di bind ci suuf.

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.

⁹ Bi ñu déggee loolu, ñuy rocceeku kenn-kenn, mag ña jiitu. Yeesu rekk des fa, jigéen ja taxaw ca kanamam.

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

¹⁰ Mu daldi siggi ne ko: «Jigéen ji, ana ñi la doon jiiñ njaaloo? Ndax kenn tegu la tooñ?»

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

¹¹ Mu ne ko: «Kenn, Sang bi.» Yeesu ne ko: «Man it ci sama wàll, duma la daan. Demal, waaye bul defati bàkkaar.»

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 Yeesu jubluwaat ca mbooloo ma ne leen: «Man maay leeru àddina si. Ku ma topp doo dox cig lëndëm, waaye dinga am leeru dund.»

¹³The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

¹³ Farisen ya ne ko: «Yaw yaay seedeel sa bopp, kon li ngay wax du dëgg.»

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.

¹⁴ Yeesu tontu leen: «Maa ngi seedeel sama bopp, teewul li may wax di dëgg, ndaxte xam naa fa ma bàyyikoo, xam fa ma jëm. Waaye yéen xamuleen fa ma bàyyikoo ak fa ma jëm.

¹⁵ You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

¹⁵ Ci gis-gisu àddina ngeen di àttee; man duma àtte kenn.

¹⁶ Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

¹⁶ Teewul nag, su ma demee bay àtte, bu jub lay doon, ndaxte du man rekk ay àtte, waaye Baay, bi ma yónni, daf ciy ànd ak man.

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

¹⁷ Seen yoon dafa wax ne, seedes ñaari nit a gën a wóor.

¹⁸ I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

¹⁸ Man maa ngi seedeel sama bopp, te Baay bi ma yónni mi ngi may seedeel itam.»

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.”

¹⁹ Ñu laaj ko ne: «Kuy sa baay?» Yeesu tontu ne: «Xamuleen ma, xamuleen sama Baay. Bu ngeen ma xamoon, xam ko.»

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.

²⁰ Bi muy wax loolu, Yeesoo nga doon jàngalee ca kër Yàlla ga, ca wetu fa ñu doon denc asaka ya. Kenn mënu ko woon a jàpp, ndaxte waxtoom jotagul.

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 Yeesu dellu ne leen: «Maa ngi dem; dingeen ma seet, waaye seen bàkkaar ngeen di deeyaale. Fa ma jëm, dungeen fa man a dem.»

²²The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, that he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come?’ ”

²² Yawut yay waxante naan: «Nee na kat, fa mu jëm, dunu fa man a dem. Mbaa du day xaruji?»

²³He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

²³ Yeesu tontu ne: «Yéen, fii ngeen bawoo, ci suuf, waaye man ca kaw laa jóge. Àddina ngeen soqikoo, waaye man bokkuma ci.

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.”

²⁴ Looloo tax ma ne, ci seeni bàkkaar ngeen di dee. Bu ngeen gëmul ki ma nekk, dingeen dee ci seeni bàkkaar.»

²⁵They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

²⁵ Ñu ne ko: «Yaay kan?» Mu ne leen: «Li ma leen waxoon ca njàlbéen ga.

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.”

²⁶ Li ma man a wax ci yéen ba àtte leen, bare na. Waaye ki ma yónni, ku wóor la, te li mu ma wax rekk laay jottali àddina.»

²⁷They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

²⁷ Xamuñu woon ne, Yàlla Baay bee tax muy wax.

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.

²⁸ Yeesu nag ne leen: «Bu ngeen yékkatee Doomu nit ki, dingeen xam ne, Maay ki nekk. Dingeen xam ne it, duma def dara man ci sama bopp. Li ma Baay biy jàngal rekk laay wax.

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.”

²⁹ Te it ki ma yónnee ngi ànd ak man; musu maa bàyyi ma wéet, ndaxte li ko neex rekk laay def.»

³⁰As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

³⁰ Bi ñuy dégg Yeesu di wax loolu, ñu bare daldi koy gëm.

³¹Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³¹ Yeesu ne Yawut ya ko gëmoon: «Bu ngeen saxee ci li ma wax, nekk ngeen samay taalibe ci lu wóor.

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

³² Te it dingeen xam dëgg gi te dëgg gi dina leen goreel.»

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?’ ”

³³ Ñu tontu ko ne: «Nun ci Ibraayma lanu soqikoo te musunoo nekk jaamu kenn. Nan nga nu man a waxe ne, dinañu leen goreel?»

³⁴Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁴ Yeesu ne leen: «Ci dëgg-dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, képp kuy bàkkaar, jaamu bàkkaar la.

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

³⁵ Te jaam du bokk ci kër gi ba fàww, waaye doom, moom, ci kër gi la bokk ba fàww.

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

³⁶ Kon nag bu leen Doom ji defee gor, dingeen doon ay gor tigi.

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham’s seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

³⁷ Xam naa ne askanu Ibraayma ngeen. Waaye yéena ngi may wut a rey, ndaxte li may jàngale xajul ci yéen.

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 Li ma sama Baay won laay wax; waaye yéen, li leen seen baay di wax ngeen di def.»

³⁹They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

³⁹ Ñu tontu ko ne: «Ibraayma mooy sunu baay.» Yeesu ne leen: «Bu ngeen dee waa kër Ibraayma, dingeen jëfe ni moom.

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.

⁴⁰ Léegi nag yéena ngi may wut a rey, man mi leen jottali dëgg, gi ma jële ca Yàlla. Ibraayma deful lu ni mel.

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

⁴¹ Li ngeen donne ci seen baay rekk ngeen di def.» Ñu tontu ko ne: «Nun de, dunu doomi araam. Benn baay rekk lanu am, mooy Yàlla.»

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.

⁴² Yeesu ne leen: «Bu Yàlla doon seen baay, dingeen ma bëgg, ndaxte ca moom laa jóge, ñëw ci ndigalam. Ñëwaluma sama bopp, waaye moo ma yónni.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

⁴³ Lu tax dégguleen li ma leen wax? Li ko waral moo di mënuleen koo déglu.

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.

⁴⁴ Seytaane mooy seen baay, te bëgg-bëggam ngeen di bëgg di def. Bóomkat la mas a doon. Du taxaw mukk ci dëgg, ndaxte dëgg nekkul ci moom. Buy fen, dëppoo na ak jikkoom, ndaxte fenkat la, te ci moom la fen soqikoo.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

⁴⁵ Waaye man damay wax dëgg, moo tax gëmuleen ma.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

⁴⁶ Kan ci yéen moo man a seede ne, bàkkaar naa? Su ma waxee dëgg nag, lu tax dungeen ma gëm?

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

⁴⁷ Ku nekk doomu Yàlla dina déglu ay waxam. Waaye nekkuleen doomi Yàlla, looloo tax dungeen déglu.»

⁴⁸Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

⁴⁸ Yawut ya ne ko: «Ndax danoo waxul dëgg, bu nu nee, nitu Samari nga te dangaa am ay rab?»

⁴⁹Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

⁴⁹ Yeesu ne leen: «Awma rab; waaye sama Baay laay teral, te yéen dangeen may toroxal.

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

⁵⁰ Wutumaa màggal sama bopp. Keneen a ma koy wutal te mooy àtte.

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

⁵¹ Ci dëgg-dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, kuy sàmm sama wax doo dee mukk.»

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.’

⁵² Yawut ya ne ko: «Léegi wóor nanu ne, dangaa am ay rab! Ibraayma faatu na, yonent yépp faatu, yaw nga naan: “Kuy sàmm sama wax, doo ñam dee.”

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

⁵³ Sunu baay Ibraayma faatu na; mbaa du dangaa defe ne, yaa ko gën a màgg? Yonent yi itam faatu nañu. Waaw, loo teg sa bopp?»

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.

⁵⁴ Yeesu ne leen: «Su ma dee màggal sama bopp, du am maana. Sama Baay a may màggal, moom mi ngeen naan, mooy seen Yàlla.

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.

⁵⁵ Xamuleen ko nag; man maa ko xam. Su ma ne woon xawma ko, ab fenkat laay doon ni yéen. Waaye xam naa ko te maa ngi sàmm waxam.

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

⁵⁶ Seen baay Ibraayma bég na, bi mu yégee sama ngan. Bi mu ko gisee it, bég na ci lool.»

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

⁵⁷ Yawut ya ne ko: «Amaguloo juróom-fukki at, ba noppi naan gis nga Ibraayma?»

⁵⁸Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM. or, I am ”

⁵⁸ Yeesu ne leen: «Ci dëgg-dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, laata ñuy sàkk Ibraayma, fekk na ma doon ki ñuy wax Maay ki nekk.»

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.

⁵⁹ Noonu ñu for ay xeer, bëgg ko koo sànni ngir rey ko. Waaye Yeesu nëbbu, génn kër Yàlla ga.
