8

1 Yeesu moom, dem ca tundu Oliw ya.
1but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Ca ëllëg sa ca fajar, mu dellu ca kër Yàlla ga, mbooloo ma fa teewoon wër ko. Mu toog, tàmbali di leen jàngal.
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.
3 Xutbakat ya ak Farisen ya indi jenn jigéen ju ñu bettoon muy njaaloo, ñu taxawal ko ca diggu mbooloo ma.
3The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst,
4 Noonu ñu ne Yeesu: «Kilifa gi, jigéen jii de, dañu koo bett muy njaaloo.
4they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
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?»
5Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such. What then do you say about her?”
6 Loolu nag, dañu ko doon wax ngir seetlu ko, ndaxte bëggoon nañoo tiiñal Yeesu. Yeesu sëgg, di bind ak baaraamam ci suuf.
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.
7 Bi laaj ya baree, mu siggi ne leen: «Ku musul a def bàkkaar ci yéen, na ko jëkk a sànniy xeer.»
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.”
8 Noonu mu sëggaat, dellu di bind ci suuf.
8Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9 Bi ñu déggee loolu, ñuy rocceeku kenn-kenn, mag ña jiitu. Yeesu rekk des fa, jigéen ja taxaw ca kanamam.
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.
10 Mu daldi siggi ne ko: «Jigéen ji, ana ñi la doon jiiñ njaaloo? Ndax kenn tegu la tooñ?»
10Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11 Mu ne ko: «Kenn, Sang bi.» Yeesu ne ko: «Man it ci sama wàll, duma la daan. Demal, waaye bul defati bàkkaar.»
11She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
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.»
12Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13 Farisen ya ne ko: «Yaw yaay seedeel sa bopp, kon li ngay wax du dëgg.»
13The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
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.
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.
15 Ci gis-gisu àddina ngeen di àttee; man duma àtte kenn.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
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.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 Seen yoon dafa wax ne, seedes ñaari nit a gën a wóor.
17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 Man maa ngi seedeel sama bopp, te Baay bi ma yónni mi ngi may seedeel itam.»
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
19 Ñu laaj ko ne: «Kuy sa baay?» Yeesu tontu ne: «Xamuleen ma, xamuleen sama Baay. Bu ngeen ma xamoon, xam ko.»
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.”
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.
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.
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.»
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.”
22 Yawut yay waxante naan: «Nee na kat, fa mu jëm, dunu fa man a dem. Mbaa du day xaruji?»
22The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, that he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come?’
23 Yeesu tontu ne: «Yéen, fii ngeen bawoo, ci suuf, waaye man ca kaw laa jóge. Àddina ngeen soqikoo, waaye man bokkuma ci.
23He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24 Looloo tax ma ne, ci seeni bàkkaar ngeen di dee. Bu ngeen gëmul ki ma nekk, dingeen dee ci seeni bàkkaar.»
24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
25 Ñu ne ko: «Yaay kan?» Mu ne leen: «Li ma leen waxoon ca njàlbéen ga.
25They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
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.»
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.”
27 Xamuñu woon ne, Yàlla Baay bee tax muy wax.
27They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
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.
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.
29 Te it ki ma yónnee ngi ànd ak man; musu maa bàyyi ma wéet, ndaxte li ko neex rekk laay def.»
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.”
30 Bi ñuy dégg Yeesu di wax loolu, ñu bare daldi koy gëm.
30As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31 Yeesu ne Yawut ya ko gëmoon: «Bu ngeen saxee ci li ma wax, nekk ngeen samay taalibe ci lu wóor.
31Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32 Te it dingeen xam dëgg gi te dëgg gi dina leen goreel.»
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you 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?»
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?’
34 Yeesu ne leen: «Ci dëgg-dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, képp kuy bàkkaar, jaamu bàkkaar la.
34Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
35 Te jaam du bokk ci kër gi ba fàww, waaye doom, moom, ci kër gi la bokk ba fàww.
35 A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.
36 Kon nag bu leen Doom ji defee gor, dingeen doon ay gor tigi.
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
37 Xam naa ne askanu Ibraayma ngeen. Waaye yéena ngi may wut a rey, ndaxte li may jàngale xajul ci yéen.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 Li ma sama Baay won laay wax; waaye yéen, li leen seen baay di wax ngeen di def.»
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.”
39 Ñu tontu ko ne: «Ibraayma mooy sunu baay.» Yeesu ne leen: «Bu ngeen dee waa kër Ibraayma, dingeen jëfe ni moom.
39They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
40 Léegi nag yéena ngi may wut a rey, man mi leen jottali dëgg, gi ma jële ca Yàlla. Ibraayma deful lu ni mel.
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.
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.»
41 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
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.
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.
43 Lu tax dégguleen li ma leen wax? Li ko waral moo di mënuleen koo déglu.
43 Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
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.
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.
45 Waaye man damay wax dëgg, moo tax gëmuleen ma.
45 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
46 Kan ci yéen moo man a seede ne, bàkkaar naa? Su ma waxee dëgg nag, lu tax dungeen ma gëm?
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Ku nekk doomu Yàlla dina déglu ay waxam. Waaye nekkuleen doomi Yàlla, looloo tax dungeen déglu.»
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
48 Yawut ya ne ko: «Ndax danoo waxul dëgg, bu nu nee, nitu Samari nga te dangaa am ay rab?»
48Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
49 Yeesu ne leen: «Awma rab; waaye sama Baay laay teral, te yéen dangeen may toroxal.
49Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 Wutumaa màggal sama bopp. Keneen a ma koy wutal te mooy àtte.
50 But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
51 Ci dëgg-dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, kuy sàmm sama wax doo dee mukk.»
51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see 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.”
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.’
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?»
53Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
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.
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.
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.
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.
56 Seen baay Ibraayma bég na, bi mu yégee sama ngan. Bi mu ko gisee it, bég na ci lool.»
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad.”
57 Yawut ya ne ko: «Amaguloo juróom-fukki at, ba noppi naan gis nga Ibraayma?»
57The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”
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.»
58Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.
59 Noonu ñu for ay xeer, bëgg ko koo sànni ngir rey ko. Waaye Yeesu nëbbu, génn kër Yàlla ga.
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.
