John 8

أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَمَضَى إِلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ.

Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

ثُمَّ حَضَرَ أَيْضًا إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ فِي الصُّبْحِ، وَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ فَجَلَسَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ.

And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

وَقَدَّمَإِلَيْهِ الْكَتَبَةُ وَالْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ امْرَأَةً أُمْسِكَتْ فِي زِنًا. وَلَمَّا أَقَامُوهَا فِي الْوَسْطِ

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

قَالُوا لَهُ:«يَا مُعَلِّمُ، هذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ أُمْسِكَتْ وَهِيَ تَزْنِي فِي ذَاتِ الْفِعْلِ،

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

وَمُوسَى فِي النَّامُوسِ أَوْصَانَا أَنَّ مِثْلَ هذِهِ تُرْجَمُ. فَمَاذَا تَقُولُ أَنْتَ؟»

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

قَالُوا هذَا لِيُجَرِّبُوهُ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَهُمْ مَا يَشْتَكُونَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ. وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَانْحَنَى إِلَى أَسْفَلُ وَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ بِإِصْبِعِهِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

وَلَمَّا اسْتَمَرُّوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ، انْتَصَبَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ بِلاَ خَطِيَّةٍ فَلْيَرْمِهَا أَوَّلاً بِحَجَرٍ!»

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

ثُمَّ انْحَنَى أَيْضًا إِلَى أَسْفَلُ وَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا وَكَانَتْ ضَمَائِرُهُمْ تُبَكِّتُهُمْ، خَرَجُوا وَاحِدًا فَوَاحِدًا، مُبْتَدِئِينَ مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ إِلَى الآخِرِينَ. وَبَقِيَ يَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ وَاقِفَةٌ فِي الْوَسْطِ.

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

فَلَمَّا انْتَصَبَ يَسُوعُ وَلَمْ يَنْظُرْ أَحَدًا سِوَى الْمَرْأَةِ، قَالَ لَهَا:«يَاامْرَأَةُ، أَيْنَ هُمْ أُولئِكَ الْمُشْتَكُونَ عَلَيْكِ؟ أَمَا دَانَكِ أَحَدٌ؟»

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

فَقَالَتْ: «لاَ أَحَدَ، يَا سَيِّدُ!». فَقَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ:«وَلاَ أَنَا أَدِينُكِ. اذْهَبِي وَلاَ تُخْطِئِي أَيْضًا».

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

ثُمَّ كَلَّمَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا قَائِلاً:«أَنَا هُوَ نُورُ الْعَالَمِ. مَنْ يَتْبَعْنِي فَلاَ يَمْشِي فِي الظُّلْمَةِ بَلْ يَكُونُ لَهُ نُورُ الْحَيَاةِ».

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

فَقَالَ لَهُ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ: «أَنْتَ تَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِكَ. شَهَادَتُكَ لَيْسَتْ حَقًّا».

The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.

أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«وَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي فَشَهَادَتِي حَق÷، لأَنِّي أَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتُ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ. وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلاَ تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ آتِي وَلاَ إِلَى أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

أَنْتُمْ حَسَبَ الْجَسَدِ تَدِينُونَ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ أَدِينُ أَحَدًا.

Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

وَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَدِينُ فَدَيْنُونَتِي حَق÷، لأَنِّي لَسْتُ وَحْدِي، بَلْ أَنَا وَالآبُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

وَأَيْضًا فِي نَامُوسِكُمْ مَكْتُوبٌ أَنَّ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلَيْنِ حَق÷:

It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

أَنَا هُوَ الشَّاهِدُ لِنَفْسِي، وَيَشْهَدُ لِي الآبُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي».

I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

فَقَالُوا لَهُ:«أَيْنَ هُوَ أَبُوكَ؟» أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَنِي أَنَا وَلاَ أَبِي. لَوْ عَرَفْتُمُونِي لَعَرَفْتُمْ أَبِي أَيْضًا».

Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

هذَا الْكَلاَمُ قَالَهُ يَسُوعُ فِي الْخِزَانَةِ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ. وَلَمْ يُمْسِكْهُ أَحَدٌ، لأَنَّ سَاعَتَهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَدْ جَاءَتْ بَعْدُ.

These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا:«أَنَا أَمْضِي وَسَتَطْلُبُونَنِي، وَتَمُوتُونَ فِي خَطِيَّتِكُمْ. حَيْثُ أَمْضِي أَنَا لاَ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا»

Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

فَقَالَ الْيَهُودُ:«أَلَعَلَّهُ يَقْتُلُ نَفْسَهُ حَتَّى يَقُولُ: حَيْثُ أَمْضِي أَنَا لاَ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا؟».

Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«أَنْتُمْ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِنْ فَوْقُ. أَنْتُمْ مِنْ هذَا الْعَالَمِ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ مِنْ هذَا الْعَالَمِ.

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

فَقُلْتُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ تَمُوتُونَ فِي خَطَايَاكُمْ، لأَنَّكُمْ إِنْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ تَمُوتُونَ فِي خَطَايَاكُمْ».

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«أَنَا مِنَ الْبَدْءِ مَا أُكَلِّمُكُمْ أَيْضًا بِهِ.

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

إِنَّ لِي أَشْيَاءَ كَثِيرَةً أَتَكَلَّمُ وَأَحْكُمُ بِهَا مِنْ نَحْوِكُمْ، لكِنَّ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ حَق÷. وَأَنَا مَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ، فَهذَا أَقُولُهُ لِلْعَالَمِ».

I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

وَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ عَنِ الآبِ.

They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«مَتَى رَفَعْتُمُ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ، فَحِينَئِذٍ تَفْهَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ، وَلَسْتُ أَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا مِنْ نَفْسِي، بَلْ أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهذَا كَمَا عَلَّمَنِي أَبِي.

Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

وَالَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ مَعِي، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْنِي الآبُ وَحْدِي، لأَنِّي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ أَفْعَلُ مَا يُرْضِيهِ».

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهذَا آمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ.

As he spake these words, many believed on him.

فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِلْيَهُودِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِهِ:«إِنَّكُمْ إِنْ ثَبَتُّمْ فِي كَلاَمِي فَبِالْحَقِيقَةِ تَكُونُونَ تَلاَمِيذِي،

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

وَتَعْرِفُونَ الْحَقَّ، وَالْحَقُّ يُحَرِّرُكُمْ».

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

أَجَابُوهُ:«إِنَّنَا ذُرِّيَّةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَلَمْ نُسْتَعْبَدْ لأَحَدٍ قَطُّ! كَيْفَ تَقُولُ أَنْتَ: إِنَّكُمْ تَصِيرُونَ أَحْرَارًا؟»

They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ الْخَطِيَّةَ هُوَ عَبْدٌ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ.

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

وَالْعَبْدُ لاَ يَبْقَى فِي الْبَيْتِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، أَمَّا الابْنُ فَيَبْقَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

فَإِنْ حَرَّرَكُمْ الابْنُ فَبِالْحَقِيقَةِ تَكُونُونَ أَحْرَارًا.

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

أَنَا عَالِمٌ أَنَّكُمْ ذُرِّيَّةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. لكِنَّكُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ تَقْتُلُونِي لأَنَّ كَلاَمِي لاَ مَوْضِعَ لَهُ فِيكُمْ.

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

أَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ بِمَا رَأَيْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي، وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ مَا رَأَيْتُمْ عِنْدَ أَبِيكُمْ».

I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

أَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ:«أَبُونَا هُوَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ». قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«لَوْ كُنْتُمْ أَوْلاَدَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، لَكُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ أَعْمَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ!

They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

وَلكِنَّكُمُ الآنَ تَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ تَقْتُلُونِي، وَأَنَا إِنْسَانٌ قَدْ كَلَّمَكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ مِنَ اللهِ. هذَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

أَنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ أَعْمَالَ أَبِيكُمْ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ:«إِنَّنَا لَمْ نُولَدْ مِنْ زِنًا. لَنَا أَبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَهُوَ اللهُ».

Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«لَوْ كَانَ اللهُ أَبَاكُمْ لَكُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَنِي، لأَنِّي خَرَجْتُ مِنْ قِبَلِ اللهِ وَأَتَيْتُ. لأَنِّي لَمْ آتِ مِنْ نَفْسِي، بَلْ ذَاكَ أَرْسَلَنِي.

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

لِمَاذَا لاَ تَفْهَمُونَ كَلاَمِي؟ لأَنَّكُمْ لاَ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا قَوْلِي.

Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

أَنْتُمْ مِنْ أَبٍ هُوَ إِبْلِيسُ، وَشَهَوَاتِ أَبِيكُمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا. ذَاكَ كَانَ قَتَّالاً لِلنَّاسِ مِنَ الْبَدْءِ، وَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ فِي الْحَقِّ لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِيهِ حَق÷. مَتَى تَكَلَّمَ بِالْكَذِبِ فَإِنَّمَا يَتَكَلَّمُ مِمَّا لَهُ، لأَنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ وَأَبُو الْكَذَّابِ.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلأَنِّي أَقُولُ الْحَقَّ لَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِي.

And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يُبَكِّتُنِي عَلَى خَطِيَّةٍ؟ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَقُولُ الْحَقَّ، فَلِمَاذَا لَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِي؟

Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

اَلَّذِي مِنَ اللهِ يَسْمَعُ كَلاَمَ اللهِ. لِذلِكَ أَنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِنَ اللهِ».

He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

فَأَجَاب الْيَهُودُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ:«أَلَسْنَا نَقُولُ حَسَنًا: إِنَّكَ سَامِرِيٌّ وَبِكَ شَيْطَانٌ؟»

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ:«أَنَا لَيْسَ بِي شَيْطَانٌ، لكِنِّي أُكْرِمُ أَبِي وَأَنْتُمْ تُهِينُونَنِي.

Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

أَنَا لَسْتُ أَطْلُبُ مَجْدِي. يُوجَدُ مَنْ يَطْلُبُ وَيَدِينُ.

And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

اَلْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَحْفَظُ كَلاَمِي فَلَنْ يَرَى الْمَوْتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

فَقَالَ لَهُ الْيَهُودُ:الآنَ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّ بِكَ شَيْطَانًا. قَدْ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ، وَأَنْتَ تَقُولُ:إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَحْفَظُ كَلاَمِي فَلَنْ يَذُوقَ الْمَوْتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

أَلَعَلَّكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي مَاتَ؟ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ مَاتُوا. مَنْ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ؟»

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ:«إِنْ كُنْتُ أُمَجِّدُ نَفْسِي فَلَيْسَ مَجْدِي شَيْئًا. أَبِي هُوَ الَّذِي يُمَجِّدُنِي، الَّذِي تَقُولُونَ أَنْتُمْ إِنَّهُ إِلهُكُمْ،

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

وَلَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَعْرِفُهُ. وَإِنْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُهُ أَكُونُ مِثْلَكُمْ كَاذِبًا، لكِنِّي أَعْرِفُهُ وَأَحْفَظُ قَوْلَهُ.

Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

أَبُوكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ تَهَلَّلَ بِأَنْ يَرَى يَوْمِي فَرَأَى وَفَرِحَ».

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

فَقَالَ لَهُ الْيَهُودُ:«لَيْسَ لَكَ خَمْسُونَ سَنَةً بَعْدُ، أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ؟»

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ:«الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: قَبْلَ أَنْ يَكُونَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَنَا كَائِنٌ».

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

فَرَفَعُوا حِجَارَةً لِيَرْجُمُوهُ. أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَاخْتَفَى وَخَرَجَ مِنَ الْهَيْكَلِ مُجْتَازًا فِي وَسْطِهِمْ وَمَضَى هكَذَا.

Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
