1And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.
1Ka naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sisu ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive.
2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and sitting down he taught them.
2Pea toe haʻu hengihengi ia ki he falelotu lahi, pea haʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate ia; pea nofo ia, ʻo ako kiate kinautolu.
3And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,
3Pea ko e kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae fefine naʻe moʻua ʻi he tono tangata; ʻonau tuku ia ki he haʻohaʻonga,
4And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.
4Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Akonaki, naʻe moʻua ʻae fefine ni lolotonga ʻene tono tangata.
5Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?
5Pea ko eni, naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kiate kimautolu ʻi he fono, ke tolongaki ia ʻaki ʻae maka: ka ko e hā hoʻo lea?”
6And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
6Naʻa nau lea pehē, ko ʻenau ʻahiʻahiʻi ia, koeʻuhi ke nau talakoviʻi ai ia. Ka naʻe tulolo hifo ʻa Sisu, pea tohi ʻaki hono tuhu ki he kelekele.
7When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
7Pea ʻi heʻenau kei fehuʻi pe kiate ia, naʻe tuʻu ki ʻolunga ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku taʻeangahala, ke lī ʻe ia ʻae fuofua maka ki ai.”
8And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
8Pea toe tulolo ia, ʻo tohi ki he kelekele.
9But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.
9Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fanongo ai, ʻi he valokia ʻakinautolu ʻe honau ʻatamai, naʻa nau taki taha ʻalu kituʻa, ʻo fuofua fai mei he ki muʻa ʻo aʻu ki he ki mui: pea toe tokotaha ʻa Sisu, kae tuʻu ʻae fefine ʻi loto.
10Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?
10Pea kuo tuʻu hake ʻa Sisu, ʻo ʻikai mamata ki ha taha ka ko e fefine pe, pea pehē ʻe ia ki ai, “Fefine, ko e fē ʻakinautolu naʻa nau fakaʻiloʻi koe?” ʻOku ʻikai fakahalaia koe ʻe ha taha?
11Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.
11Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha. Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Pea ʻoku ʻikai te u fakahalaia koe: ʻalu pea ʻoua ʻe toe fai angahala.”
12Again therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
12¶ Pea toe lea ai ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko au ko e maama ʻo māmani: ko ia ʻoku muimui ʻiate au, ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia ʻi he poʻuli, ka ʻe ʻiate ia ʻae maama ʻoe moʻui.”
13The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself: thy testimony is not true.
13Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻae kau Fālesi kiate ia, “ʻOku ke fakamoʻoni kiate koe; ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni hoʻo fakamoʻoni.
14Jesus answered, and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but you know not whence I come, or whither I go.
14Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni kiate au, ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻeku fakamoʻoni: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku ou haʻu mei ai, mo ia ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai; ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku ou haʻu mei ai, pe ko ia ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai.
15You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.
15ʻOku mou fakamaau fakakakano pē; ʻoku ʻikai te u fakamaau ha tokotaha.
16And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
16Pea kapau te u fakamaau, ʻoku moʻoni ʻeku fakamaau he ʻoku ʻikai teu tokotaha pe, ka ko au mo e Tamai naʻa ne fekau au.
17And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.
17Pea kuo tohi foki ʻi hoʻomou fono, ko e fakamoʻoni ʻae tangata ʻe toko ua ʻoku moʻoni.
18I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.
18Ko e tokotaha au ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni au, pea ko e Tamai naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku ne fakamoʻoni kiate au.”
19They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father: if you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.
19Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e fē hoʻo Tamai? Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo au, pe ko ʻeku Tamai: ka ne mou ʻilo au, pehē, kuo mou ʻilo mo ʻeku Tamai foki.
20These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
20Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi he tukunga koloa, ʻi heʻene akonaki ʻi he falelotu lahi: pea naʻe ʻikai puke ia ʻe ha taha; he naʻe teʻeki hokosia hono ʻaho.
21Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come.
21Pea toe tala ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou ʻalu, pea te mou kumi kiate au, ka te mou mate ʻi hoʻomou angahala: ko e potu ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai, ʻe ʻikai te mou hokosia.”
22The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come?
22Pea pehē ai ʻae kakai Siu, “ʻE tāmateʻi ʻe ia ia? He ʻoku ne pehē, ‘Ko e potu ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai, ʻe ʻikai te mou hokosia.’”
23And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world.
23Pea tala ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mei lalo ʻakimoutolu; ʻoku mei ʻolunga au: ʻoku ʻo māmani ʻakimoutolu; ʻoku ʻikai ʻo māmani au.
24Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.
24Ko ia naʻaku lea ai kiate kimoutolu, te mou mate ʻi hoʻomou angahala: he kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ‘ko au ia,’ te mou mate pe ʻi hoʻomou angahala.”
25They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.
25Pea naʻa nau lea ai kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?” Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻAia pe naʻaku tala ʻi muʻa kiate kimoutolu.”
26Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world.
26ʻOku lahi ʻae meʻa ke u tala mo valokiʻi ʻiate kimoutolu: ka ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku moʻoni ia; pea ʻoku ou fakahā ki māmani ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia kuo u fanongo ʻiate ia.
27And they understood not, that he called God his Father.
27Naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ko ʻene lea kiate kinautolu ki he Tamai.
28Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know, that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak:
28Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Hili hoʻomou hiki ki ʻolunga ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata, pea te mou toki ʻilo ‘ko au ia,’ pea mo ʻeku taʻefai-ha-meʻa ʻiate au pe; kae hangē hono akoʻi au ʻe heʻeku Tamai, ʻoku pehē ʻeku lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
29And he that sent me, is with me, and he hath not left me alone: for I do always the things that please him.
29Pea ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku ʻiate au: ʻoku ʻikai siʻaki au ke tokotaha pe ʻe he Tamai; he ʻoku ou fai maʻuaipē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lelei ai ia.”
30When he spoke these things, many believed in him.
30Pea ʻi heʻene leaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni, naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi kiate ia.
31Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed.
31¶ Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu ki he kau Siu naʻe tui kiate ia, “Kapau te mou nofomaʻu ʻi heʻeku lea, pea ko ʻeku kau ākonga moʻoni ʻakimoutolu;
32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
32Pea te mou ʻilo ʻae moʻoni, pea ʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he moʻoni.”
33They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: how sayest thou: you shall be free?
33¶ Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi kiate ia, “Ko e hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakimautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te mau pōpula ki ha taha: pea ʻoku fēfeeʻi ʻa hoʻo lau, ‘ʻE fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu?’”
34Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say unto you: that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
34Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku fai angahala, ko e pōpula ia ki he angahala.
35Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever; but the son abideth for ever.
35Pea ʻoku ʻikai nofomaʻuaipē ʻi he fale ʻae pōpula: ka ʻoku nofomaʻuaipē ʻae ʻAlo.
36If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
36Ko ia kapau ʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻAlo, te mou tauʻatāina moʻoni.
37I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
37ʻOku ou ʻilo ko e hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakimoutolu; ka ʻoku mou kumi ke tāmateʻi au, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻi homou loto ʻa ʻeku akonaki.
38I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father.
38ʻOku ou lea ʻaki ʻaia kuo u ʻiloʻi ʻi heʻeku Tamai: pea ʻoku mou fai ʻaia kuo mou ʻiloʻi ʻi hoʻomou tamai.”
39They answered, and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham.
39Naʻa nau leaange, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko ʻemau tamai ʻa ʻEpalahame.” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne ko e fānau ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻakimoutolu, pehē, te mou fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻEpalahame.
40But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not.
40Ka ko eni ʻoku mou kumi ke tāmateʻi au, ko e tangata kuo tala ʻae moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia kuo u fanongo ʻi he ʻOtua: naʻe ʻikai fai pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame.
41You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God.
41ʻOku mou fai ʻae ngāue ʻa hoʻomou tamai.” Pea naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau tupu ʻi he feʻauaki; ʻoku taha pe ʻemau Tamai, ko e ʻOtua.”
42Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded, and came; for I came not of myself, but he sent me:
42Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne ko hoʻomou Tamai ʻae ʻOtua, te mou ʻofa kiate au: he naʻaku tupu ai ʻo haʻu mei he ʻOtua; pea naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ʻiate au pe, ka naʻa ne fekau au.
43Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
43Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou ʻilo ʻeku lea? Ka koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou fie fai ki heʻeku akonaki.
44You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
44ʻOku mou ʻi hoʻomou tamai ko e tēvolo, pea ko e holi ʻa hoʻomou tamai te mou fai. Ko e fakapō ia talu mei he kamataʻanga, pea naʻe ʻikai nofomaʻu ʻi he moʻoni koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha moʻoni ʻiate ia. ʻOka lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae loi, ʻoku ne lea ʻaki ʻene meʻa ʻaʻana: he ko e loi ia, mo e tamai ʻo ia.
45But if I say the truth, you believe me not.
45Pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tala ʻae moʻoni kiate kimoutolu , ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate au.
46Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
46Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ne fakaʻilo haʻaku angahala? Pea kapau ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate au?
47He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.
47Ko ia ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻoku fanongo ia ki he ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua: pea pehē, ʻoku ʻikai te mou fanongo, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu.”
48The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
48Pea leaange ʻae kakai Siu, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻIkai ʻoku moʻoni ʻemau pehē, Ko e Samēlia koe, pea ʻoku ʻiate koe ha tēvolo?”
49Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.
49Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “ʻOku ʻikai ha tēvolo ʻiate au; ka ʻoku ou fakaʻapaʻapa ki heʻeku Tamai, pea ʻoku mou fakalieliaʻi au.
50But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
50Pea ʻoku ʻikai teu kumi ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo ʻoku: ʻoku ai ha tokotaha ʻoku ne kumiʻi mo fakamaauʻi.
51Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.
51Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ki heʻeku lea, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mamata ia ki he mate.”
52The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.
52Pea lea ai ʻae kakai Siu kiate ia, “Ta ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻeni ʻoku ʻiate koe ha tēvolo. Kuo mate ʻa ʻEpalahame, mo e kau palōfita; ka ʻoku ke pehē, Kapau ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ki heʻeku lea, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne kamata ʻae mate.
53Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?
53ʻOku ke lahi koe ki heʻemau tamai ko ʻEpalahame, ʻaia kuo mate? Pea, mate mo e kau palōfita: ʻoku ke pehē ko hai koe?”
54Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God.
54Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “Kapau te u fakaongolelei au, ko e meʻa noa pē ʻeku fakaongo: ko ʻeku Tamai ko ia ia ʻoku ne fakaongoleleiʻi au; ʻaia ʻoku mou pehē ai, ko homou ʻOtua ia:
55And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word.
55Ka kuo ʻikai te mou ʻilo ia, ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ia: pea kapau te u pehē, ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ia, te u loi au ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu: ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ia, pe au tuitala ki heʻene folofola.
56Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad.
56Naʻe mātuʻaki fiefia ʻa hoʻomou tamai ko ʻEpalahame ke mamata ki hoku ʻaho: pea naʻe mamata ia, pea fiefia.
57The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
57Pea lea ʻae kakai Siu kiate ia, “ʻOku teʻeki ai nimangofulu taʻu ho motuʻa, pea kuo ke mamata kia ʻEpalahame?”
58Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.
58Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ki muʻa ʻia ʻEpalahame, ‘ʻOku ou ʻi ai au.’”
59They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
59Pea naʻa nau toʻo hake ʻae ngaahi maka, ke nau lisingi ʻaki ia; ka naʻe fufū ʻe Sisu ia, pea ʻalu ia ʻi honau lotolotonga mei he falelotu lahi, pea hao ai.
