K. Jezus un grēcineica.
1 Tad Jezus aizgōja uz Eleja kolnu. 2 Reitā agri Jys otkon atgōja uz svētneicu. Visi ļaudis sagōja pi Jō klōtu, un Jys atsasēdis tūs mōceja.
3 Te Rokstim mōceitī un farizeji atvede pi Jō vīnu sīvīti, kura beja pīkarta lauleibas lauzšonā, un, nūstatejuši tū uz vyds, Jam saceja: 4 Mōceitōj, šitei sīvīte ir nūkarta pošā lauleibas lauzšonā. 5 Un Moizešs lykumā pavēlēja taidas sīvītes nūmātōt ar akminim; bet kū Tu saceisi? 6 Šytū jī saceja kārdynōdami, lai varātu Jū apvaiņōt.
7 Bet Jezus pīsalīcis raksteja uz zemes ar pērstu, un tai, ka jī uzabōze ar jautōjumim, Jys pīsacēlis jim saceja: Kas nu jums ir breivs nu grākim, tys lai pyrmais mat uz jōs akmini! 8 Tad Jys nūsalīcis otkon raksteja uz zemes. 9 Izdzērduši šytū atbiļdi, jī, sōcūt nu vacōkim, vīns pēc ūtra aizgōja prūjom. Un palyka vīneigi Jys un sīvīte, kas uz vyds stōvēja. 10 Tad Jezus pīsacēlis jai saceja: Sīvīt, kur ir tī, (kas tevi apvaiņōja?) Vai tad nivīns tevis nanūtīsoj? 11 Tei atbiļdēja: Kungs, nivīns. Tad Jezus saceja: Ari Es tevis nanūtīsoju; ej, bet vairs nagrākoj.
K. Jezus ir pasauļa gaisma.
12 Tad Jezus runōja jim tōļōk: Es asmu pasauļa gaisma. Kas īt Maņ pakaļ, tys tymsumā nastaigōs, bet gon jam byus dzeives gaisma. 13 Bet farizeji Jam saceja: Tu pats par sevi līcynoj; — Tova līceiba navā patīsa.
14 Jezus tim atbiļdēja: Jo Es pats par sevī līcynōtu, ari tad Muna līceiba byutu patīsa, jo Es zynu, nu kurīnes atgōju, un kur eju. 15 Jyus sprīžat pēc mīsas, bet Es ni par vīnu nasprīžu. 16 Un jo ari Es sprīdumu dūtu, Muns sprīdums byutu pareizs; jo Es naasmu vīns pats, ar Mani ir Tāvs, kurs Mani syuteja. 17 Ari jyusu lykumā stōv raksteits, ka diveju personu līceiba ir pylntīseiga. 18 Es līcynoju par sevi pats, un par Mani līcynoj Muns Tāvs, kurs Mani syuteja. 19 Tī vaicōja: Kas tad ir tovs tāvs? Jezus atbiļdēja: Jyus napazeistat ni Manis, ni ari Muna Tāva. Jo jyus pazeitu Mani, tad ari Munu Tāvu pazeitu.
20 Šytūs vōrdus Jezus pasaceja mōceidams svētneicā pi dōvonu monta krōtuves. Bet Jō nikas nasakēre, jo nabeja vēļ atgōjuse Jō stuņde.
Naticeigī sovūs grākūs nūmērs.
21 Tad Jys saceja jim tōļōk: Es aizeju, jyus Manis meklēsit un sovūs grākūs nūmērsit. Tur, kur Es eju, jyus aizīt navarit.
22 Tad jūdi saceja: Vai tad Jys grib pats sevi nūnōvēt, ka soka: Tur, kur Es īšu, jyus aizīt navarit.
23 Jys tim atbiļdēja: Jyus paejat nu zemīnes, Es paeju nu augstīnes; jyus nu šō pasauļa esit, Es nu šō pasauļa naasmu. 24 Tōpēc jums saceju: Jyus sovūs grākūs nūmērsit; tai tad, jo naticēsit, ka Es tys asmu, sovūs grākūs nūmērsit. 25 Jī vaicōja: Kas tad Tu taids esi? Jezus tim atbiļdēja: Kū gon Maņ pavysam ar jums runōt? 26 Maņ vēļ byutu daudz kas par jums sokoms un sprīžams. Bet Tys, kas Mani syuteja, ir patīseigs un runoj patīseibu, un Es sludynoju pasauļam tū, kū nu Jō dzērdēju. 27 Jī nanūprota, ka Jys stōsteja jim par Tāvu.
28 Jezus runōja tōļōk: Kad jyus Cylvāka Dālu paceļsit uz augšu, tad gon pazeisit, ka Es tys asmu, un ka Es pats nu sevis nikō nadoru, bet runoju tū, kam Tāvs mani īmōceja. 29 Tys, kurs Mani syuteja, ir ar Mani; Jys Manis vīna poša napamete, jo Es vysod doru tū, kas Jam pateik. 30 Kad šytū Jys tim runōja, daudzeji Jam īticēja.
Jūdu cītsirdeiba.
31 Tad Jezus runōja jūdim, kuri Jam beja īticējuši: Jo jyus Munas mōceibas pīsaturēsit, jyus eistyn byusit muni mōcekli 32 un pazeisit patīseibu, un patīseiba jyusus atbreivōs. 33 Tī Jam atbiļdēja: Mes asam Abraama pēcnōcēji un nikod naasam vērdzeibā bejuši. Kai tad Tu vari teikt: Jyus topsit breivi? 34 Jezus tim atbiļdēja: Patīši, patīši, Es jums soku: Ikvīns, kas grākoj, ir grāka vērgs. 35 Vērgs vīnmār sātā napalīk, dāls palīk vysod. 36 Tai tad, jo Dāls jyusus padareis breivus, patīši, byusit breivi. 37 Es gon zynu, ka jyus asat Abraama bārni, bet jyus meklejat Mani nūnōvēt, jo Muni vōrdi pi jums naatrūn pīkrisšonas. 38 Es stōstu tū, kū redzēju pi sova Tāva, bet jyus dorot tū, kū nu sova tāva dzērdējot.
39 Jī atsasauce un Jam saceja: Abraams ir myusu tāvs. Jezus tim atbiļdēja: Jo jyus asat Abraama bārni, tad dorit Abraama dorbus. 40 Bet jyus meklejat Mani — Cylvāku, kas jums sludynoj patīseibu, kū nu Dīva dzērdēju, nūnōvēt. Abraams tai nadareja. 41 Jyus dorot sovu tāvu dorbus. Tī Jam atbiļdēja: Mes nalykumeigā lauleibā naasam dzymuši; mums ir vīns tāvs — Dīvs. 42 Bet Jezus jim atbiļdēja: Jo jyusu tāvs byutu Dīvs, tad, bez šaubom, jyus Mani mīļōtu; Es tadei nu Dīva izgōju un atgōju. Es pats nu sevis naatgōju, Jys Mani syuteja. 43 Kōpēc jyus Munu vōrdu nasaprūtat? — Jo naspējat Munu vōrdu klauseitīs. 44 Jyusu tāvs ir ļaunais gors, un jyus gribit sova tāva grybu izpiļdeit. Jys pošā īsōkumā beja par slapkovu un taisneibā naizturēja, jo jamā taisneibas navā. Kad jys maloj, runoj nu sevis, jo jys pats ir meļs un malu tāvs. 45 Lai gon Es sludynoju patīseibu, jyus Maņ naticit. 46 Kas nu jums var maņ pōrmest grāku? Un jo Es runoju taisneibu, kōpēc Maņ natycat? 47 Kas nu Dīva paīt, tys Dīva vōrdu klausa; jyus naklausot tōpēc, ka nu Dīva naasat.
48 Tad jūdi Jam atbiļdēja saceidami: Vai tad mes napareizi teicem, ka Tu esi samarīts un tevī ir valns? 49 Jezus atbiļdēja: Manī valna navā, bet Es gūdynoju sovu Tāvu, un jyus Maņ gūdu laupot. 50 Es sova gūda namekleju; ir, kas jō meklej un tīsoj. 51 Patīši, patīši, Es jums soku: Jo kas Munu vōrdu globōs, tys myužam nōves naredzēs. 52 Jūdi atbiļdēja: Tagad mes redzim, ka tevī ir ļaunais gors; Abraams nūmyra un ari pravīši, un Tu soki: kas Munus vōrdus globōs, tys myužam nōves nabaudeis. 53 Vai tad Tu esi lelōks par myusu tāvu Abraamu, kurs nūmyra, un pravīšim, kuri taipat nūmyra? Par kaidu Tu sevi skaiti?
54 Jezus atbiļdēja: Jo Es pats sevi gūdynōtu, tad Muns gūds byutu nīceigs. Tys, kas Mani gūdynoj, ir Muns Tāvs, par kuru jyus sokot, ka asūt jyusu Dīvs, 55 un tūmār Jō napazeistat. Es gon Jū pazeistu, un jo Es saceitu, ka Jō napazeistu, tad byutu meļs, leidzeigs jums. Es Jū pazeistu un Jō vōrdu globoju. 56 Jyusu tāvs Abraams prīcōjōs Munu dīnu īraudzeit; jys redzēja un prīcōjōs.
57 Tad jūdi Jam saceja: Tev vēļ navā pīcdesmit godu, un Tu soki, ka redzēji Abraamu? 58 Jezus jim atbiļdēja: Patīši, patīši, Es jums soku: Pyrmōk na Abraams tyka, Es asmu.
59 Tad jī pagiva akmiņus, lai Jam svīstu, bet Jezus pasaslēpe un izgōja nu svētneicas ōrā.
1 but Jesus walked out to the Mount of Olives. 2 Then early the next morning he went to the temple. The people came to him, and he sat down and started teaching them.
3 The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses brought in a woman who had been caught in bed with a man who wasn't her husband. They made her stand in the middle of the crowd. 4 Then they said, “Teacher, this woman was caught sleeping with a man who isn't her husband. 5 The Law of Moses teaches that a woman like this should be stoned to death! What do you say?”
6 They asked Jesus this question, because they wanted to test him and bring some charge against him. But Jesus simply bent over and started writing on the ground with his finger.
7 They kept on asking Jesus about the woman. Finally, he stood up and said, “If any of you have never sinned, then go ahead and throw the first stone at her!” 8 Once again he bent over and began writing on the ground. 9 The people left one by one, beginning with the oldest. Finally, Jesus and the woman were there alone.
10 Jesus stood up and asked her, “Where is everyone? Isn't there anyone left to accuse you?”
11 “No sir,” the woman answered.
Then Jesus told her, “I am not going to accuse you either. You may go now, but don't sin anymore.”
Jesus Is the Light for the World
12 Once again Jesus spoke to the people. This time he said, “I am the light for the world! Follow me, and you won't be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life.”
13 The Pharisees objected, “You are the only one speaking for yourself, and what you say isn't true!”
14 Jesus replied:
Even if I do speak for myself, what I say is true! I know where I came from and where I am going. But you don't know where I am from or where I am going. 15 You judge in the same way that everyone else does, but I don't judge anyone. 16 If I did judge, I would judge fairly, because I would not be doing it alone. The Father who sent me is here with me. 17 Your Law requires two witnesses to prove that something is true. 18 I am one of my witnesses, and the Father who sent me is the other one.
19 “Where is your Father?” they asked.
“You don't know me or my Father!” Jesus answered. “If you knew me, you would know my Father.”
20 Jesus said this while he was still teaching in the place where the temple treasures were stored. But no one arrested him, because his time had not yet come.
You Cannot Go Where I Am Going
21 Jesus also told them, “I am going away, and you will look for me. But you cannot go where I am going, and you will die with your sins unforgiven.”
22 The people asked, “Does he intend to kill himself? Is that what he means by saying we cannot go where he is going?”
23 Jesus answered, “You are from below, but I am from above. You belong to this world, but I don't. 24 This is why I said you will die with your sins unforgiven. If you don't have faith in me for who I am, you will die, and your sins will not be forgiven.”
25 “Who are you?” they asked Jesus.
Jesus answered, “I am exactly who I told you at the beginning. 26 There is a lot more I could say to condemn you. But the one who sent me is truthful, and I tell the people of this world only what I have heard from him.”
27 No one understood that Jesus was talking to them about the Father.
28 Jesus went on to say, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, you will know who I am. You will also know that I don't do anything on my own. I say only what my Father taught me. 29 The one who sent me is with me. I always do what pleases him, and he will never leave me.”
30 After Jesus said this, many of the people put their faith in him.
The Truth Will Set You Free
31 Jesus told the people who had faith in him, “If you keep on obeying what I have said, you truly are my disciples. 32 You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 They answered, “We are Abraham's children! We have never been anyone's slaves. How can you say we will be set free?”
34 Jesus replied:
I tell you for certain that anyone who sins is a slave of sin! 35 And slaves don't stay in the family forever, though the Son will always remain in the family. 36 If the Son gives you freedom, you are free! 37 I know that you are from Abraham's family. Yet you want to kill me, because my message isn't really in your hearts. 38 I am telling you what my Father has shown me, just as you are doing what your father has taught you.
Your Father Is the Devil
39 The people said to Jesus, “Abraham is our father!”
Jesus replied, “If you were Abraham's children, you would do what Abraham did. 40 Instead, you want to kill me for telling you the truth that God gave me. Abraham never did anything like that. 41 But you are doing exactly what your father does.”
“Don't accuse us of having someone else as our father!” they said. “We just have one father, and he is God.”
42 Jesus answered:
If God were your Father, you would love me, because I came from God and now I am here. He sent me. I did not come on my own. 43 Why can't you understand what I am talking about? Can't you stand to hear what I am saying? 44 Your father is the devil, and you do exactly what he wants. He has always been a murderer and a liar. There is nothing truthful about him. He speaks on his own, and everything he says is a lie. Not only is he a liar himself, but he is also the father of all lies.
45 Everything I have told you is true, and you still refuse to have faith in me. 46 Can any of you accuse me of sin? If you cannot, why won't you have faith in me? After all, I am telling you the truth. 47 Anyone who belongs to God will listen to his message. But you refuse to listen, because you don't belong to God.
Jesus and Abraham
48 The people told Jesus, “We were right to say that you are a Samaritan and that you have a demon in you!”
49 Jesus answered, “I don't have a demon in me. I honor my Father, and you refuse to honor me. 50 I don't want honor for myself. But there is one who wants me to be honored, and he is also the one who judges. 51 I tell you for certain that if you obey my words, you will never die.”
52 Then the people said, “Now we are sure that you have a demon. Abraham is dead, and so are the prophets. How can you say that no one who obeys your words will ever die? 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
54 Jesus replied, “If I honored myself, it would mean nothing. My Father is the one who honors me. You claim that he is your God, 55 even though you don't really know him. If I said I didn't know him, I would be a liar, just like all of you. But I know him, and I do what he says. 56 Your father Abraham was really glad to see me.”
57 “You are not even 50 years old!” they said. “How could you have seen Abraham?”
58 Jesus answered, “I tell you for certain that even before Abraham was, I was, and I am.” 59 The people picked up stones to kill Jesus, but he hid and left the temple.
