1 ( Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

أمّا يَسُوعُ فَذَهَبَ إلَى جَبَلِ الزَّيْتُونِ.

2 E arly in the morning He went back to the house of God and all the people came to Him. He sat down and taught them.

وَفِي الصَّباحِ الباكِرِ ذَهَبَ إلَى ساحَةِ الهَيْكَلِ ثانِيَةً حَيْثُ جاءَ إلَيْهِ الجَمِيعُ، فَجَلَسَ وَبَدَأ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ.

3 T he teachers of the Law and the proud religious law-keepers came to Him. They brought a woman who had been caught doing a sex sin. They made her stand in front of them all.

وَأحضَرَ مُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيْعَةِ وَالفِرِّيْسِيُّونَ امْرأةً أُمْسِكَتْ وَهِيَ تَزْنِي. وَجَعَلُوها تَقِفُ وَسَطَ النّاسِ.

4 T hen they said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of doing a sex sin.

ثُمَّ قالُوا لِيَسُوعَ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، أُمْسِكَتْ هَذِهِ المَرْأةُ مُتَلَبِّسَةً بِجَرِيْمَةِ الزِّنا.»

5 M oses told us in the Law to throw stones and kill a woman like this. What do You say about it?”

وَقَدْ أوْصانا مُوسَى فِي الشَّرِيْعَةِ بِأنْ نَرْجُمَ مِثلَ هَذِهِ المَرْأةِ، فَماذا تَقُولُ أنتَ؟»

6 T hey were trying to set a trap to find something against Him. Jesus got down and began to write in the dust with His finger.

قالُوا هَذا لِيَمْتَحِنُوهُ، فَيَكُونَ لَهُمْ ما يَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِهِ. لَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ انْحَنَى وَبَدَأ يَكْتُبُ عَلَى الأرْضِ بِإصْبِعِهِ.

7 T hey kept on asking Him. Then He stood up and said, “Anyone of you who is without sin can throw the first stone at her.”

وَلَمّا ألَحُّوا فِي السُّؤالِ، وَقَفَ وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «حَسَناً! مَنْ كانَ مِنْكُمْ بِلا خَطِيَّةٍ، فَلْيَكُنِ البادِئَ بِرَمْيِها بِحَجَرٍ.»

8 A gain He got down and wrote in the dust.

وَانحَنَى مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَأخَذَ يَكْتُبُ عَلَى الأرْضِ.

9 W hen they heard what He said, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones until they were all gone. Then Jesus was left alone with the woman.

فَلَمّا سَمِعُوا هَذا، بَدَأُوا يُغادِرُونَ المَكانَ واحِداً بَعْدَ الآخَرِ بَدْءاً بِالأكْبَرِ سِنّاً. وَبَقِيَ يَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ مَعَ المَرْأةِ الواقِفَةِ أمامَهُ.

10 J esus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are those who spoke against you? Has no man said you are guilty?”

فَوَقَفَ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ لَها: «أيْنَ هُمْ؟ ألَمْ يَحكُمْ عَلَيْكِ أحَدٌ؟»

11 S he said, “No one, Sir.” Jesus said to her, “Neither do I say you are guilty. Go on your way and do not sin again.” ) Jesus Teaches about the Light of the World

قالَتْ: «لا أحَدَ يا سَيِّدُ.» فَقالَ لَها يَسُوعُ: «وَلا أنا أحكُمُ عَلَيْكِ. فَاذْهَبِي وَلا تَعُودِي إلَى الخَطِيَّةِ فِيما بَعْدُ.» يَسُوعُ هُوَ النُّور

12 J esus spoke to all the people, saying, “I am the Light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will not walk in darkness. He will have the Light of Life.”

ثُمَّ وَاصَلَ يَسُوعُ كَلامَهُ لِلنّاسِ فَقالَ: «أنا هُوَ النُّورُ لِلعالَمِ. مَنْ يَتْبَعُنِي لا يَمْشِي أبَداً فِي الظُّلْمَةِ، بَلْ يَكُونُ مَعَهُ النُّورُ الَّذِي يَقُودُ إلَى الحَياةِ.»

13 T he proud religious law-keepers said to Him, “You are talking about Yourself. What You say about Yourself is not true.”

فَقالَ لَهُ الفِرِّيْسِيُّونَ: «أنتَ تَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِكَ، لِذَلِكَ فَإنَّ شَهادَتَكَ غَيْرُ مَقْبُولَةٍ.»

14 J esus said, “Even if I speak of Myself, what I am saying is true. I know where I came from and where I am going. You do not know where I came from or where I am going.

أجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «مَعَ أنَّنِي أشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي، فَشَهادَتِي مَقْبُولَةٌ.لِأنِّي أعْرِفُ مِنْ أيْنَ أتَيْتُ وَإلَى أيْنَ أنا ذاهِبٌ، أمّا أنتُمْ فَلا تَعْرِفُونَ مِنْ أيْنَ أتَيْتُ وَلا إلَى أيْنَ أنا ذاهِبٌ.

15 Y ou say as a man would say if people are guilty or not guilty. I am not saying anyone is guilty.

لِذَلِكَ أنتُمْ تَحكُمُونَ حَسَبَ مَقايِيْسِ البَشَرِ، لكِنَّنِي لا أحكُمُ عَلَى أحَدٍ.

16 B ut even if I did, it would be true. I am not alone. The Father Who sent Me is with Me.

وَحَتَّى إنْ حَكَمْتُ، فَإنَّ حُكْمِي صَحِيْحٌ. فَأنا لا أحكُمُ وَحْدِي، لَكِنَّ الآبَ الَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي هُوَ مَعِي.

17 I t is written in your Law that when two men agree about something, it proves it is true.

مَكْتُوبٌ فِي شَرِيْعَتِكُمْ إنَّ شَهادَةَ شَخْصَيْنِ مَقْبُولَةٌ.

18 I speak for Myself and the Father Who sent Me speaks for Me.”

وَأنا أشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي وَأبِي الَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي يَشْهَدُ لِيْ أيْضاً.»

19 T he proud religious law-keepers asked Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus said, “You do not know Me or My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”

فَسَألُوهُ: «وَأيْنَ أبُوكَ؟» أجابَ يَسُوعُ: «أنتُمْ لا تَعْرِفُونَنِي وَلا تَعْرِفُونَ أبِي. وَلَوْ عَرَفْتُمُونِي لَعَرَفْتُمْ أبِي أيضاً.»

20 J esus spoke these words near the money box while He taught in the house of God. No one put his hands on Jesus because His time had not yet come. Jesus Tells of His Going Away

قالَ هَذا الكَلامَ وَهُوَ قُرْبَ صُنْدُوقِ التَّقْدِماتِ بَيْنَما كانَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيْكَلِ. وَلَمْ يَقْبِضْ عَلَيْهِ أحَدٌ، لِأنَّ وَقْتَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ حانَ بَعْدُ. قادَةُ اليَهُودِ لا يَفْهَمُونَ يَسُوع

21 J esus spoke to the Jews again, saying, “I am going away. You will look for Me but you will die in your sins. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

وَقالَ لَهُمْ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى: «أنا سَأذْهَبُ وَسَتَبْحَثُونَ عَنِّي، لَكِنَّكُمْ سَتَمُوتُونَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ ذَنْبُ خَطاياكُمْ. وَلا تَقْدِرُونَ أنْ تَأْتُوا إلَى حَيْثُ أنا ذاهِبٌ.»

22 T he Jews said, “Will He kill Himself because He said, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’ ?”

فَبَدَأ قادَةُ اليَهُودِ يَتَساءَلُونَ فِيْما بَيْنَهُمْ: «أيُعْقَلُ أنَّهُ سَيَقْتُلُ نَفْسَهُ؟ لِأنَّهُ يَقُولُ: ‹لا تَقْدِرُونَ أنْ تَأْتُوا إلَى حَيْثُ أنا ذاهِبٌ.›»

23 H e answered them, “You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أنتُمْ مِنْ أسْفَلُ، وَأنا مِنْ فَوْقُ. أنتُمْ تَنتَمُونَ إلَى هَذا العالَمِ، وَأنا لا أنتَمِي إلَى هَذا العالَمِ.

24 T hat is why I said that you will die in your sins. If you do not believe that I am the Christ, you will die in your sins.”

لِهَذا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إنَّكُمْ سَتَمُوتُونَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ ذَنْبُ خَطاياكُمْ. إنْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا أنِّي أنا هُوَ، فَسَتَمُوتُونَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ ذَنْبُ خَطاياكُمْ.»

25 T hen they said to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus answered, “The answer is the same as I told you from the beginning.

فَسَألُوهُ: «مَنْ أنتَ؟» فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أخبَرْتُكُمْ مَنْ أنا مُنْذُ البِدايَةِ.

26 I have much to say about you. I must say if you are guilty. But He Who sent Me is true. I tell the world the things I have heard from Him.”

عِنْدِي أشْياءٌ كَثِيْرَةٌ أقُولُها عَنْكُمْ، وَأحكُمُ بِها عَلَيْكُمْ. لَكِنَّ الَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي صادِقٌ، وَأنا أُكَلِّمُ النّاسَ بِما سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ.»

27 T hey did not understand that Jesus was speaking to them about the Father.

وَلَمْ يُدْرِكُوا أنَّ يَسُوعَ كانَ يَتَحَدَّثُ إلَيْهِمْ عَنِ الآبِ.

28 J esus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, you will know that I am the Christ. I do nothing of Myself. I say these things as My Father has taught Me.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «عِنْدَما تَرْفَعُونَ ابْنَ الإنسانِ، سَتَعْرِفُونَ حِيْنَئِذٍ أنِّي أنا هُوَ. أنا لا أفْعَلُ شَيْئاً مِنْ نَفْسِي، لَكِنِّي أتَكَلَّمُ تَماماً كَما عَلَّمَنِي الآبُ.

29 H e that sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone. I always do what He wants Me to do.”

وَالَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي هُوَ مَعِي. لَمْ يَتْرُكْنِي وَحْدِي، لِأنِّي أعمَلُ دائِماً ما يَسُرُّهُ.»

30 A s Jesus said these things, many people put their trust in Him.

وَبَيْنَما كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، آمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيْرُونَ. التَّحَرُّرُ مِنَ الخَطِيَّة

31 H e said to the Jews who believed, “If you keep and obey My Word, then you are My followers for sure.

فَبَدَأ يَسُوعُ يَقُولُ لِليَهُودِ الَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوا بِهِ: «إنْ تَمَسَّكْتُمْ بِتَعلِيْمِي، فَأنتُمْ تَلامِيْذِي حَقّاً.

32 Y ou will know the truth and the truth will make you free.” Jesus Teaches What It Means to Be Free

وَسَتَعْرِفُونَ الحَقَّ، وَالحَقُّ سَيُحَرِّرُكُمْ.»

33 T hey said to Jesus, “We are children of Abraham. We have never been servants to anyone. What do you mean when You say, ‘You will be free’?”

فَقالَ لَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ: «نَحْنُ أولادُ إبْراهِيْمَ، وَلَمْ نَكُنْ عَبِيْداً لِأحَدٍ قَطُّ! فَكَيْفَ تَقُولُ إنَّنا سَنُحَرَّرُ؟»

34 J esus answered them, “For sure, I tell you, everyone who sins is the servant of sin because sin has a hold on him.

فَأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: كُلُّ مَنْ يَستَمِرُّ فِي عَمَلِ الخَطِيَّةِ هُوَ عَبْدٌ لِلخَطِيَّةِ.

35 A nd the servant does not belong in the house. The son belongs in the house.

وَالعَبْدُ لا يَبْقَى مَعَ عائِلَةٍ إلَى الأبَدِ، أمّا الابْنُ فَيَنتَمِي إلَى عائِلَتِهِ إلَى الأبَدِ.

36 S o if the Son makes you free, you will be free for sure.

فَإنْ حَرَّرَكُمُ الابْنُ، تَكُونُونَ حَقّاً أحراراً.»

37 “ I know that you are the children of Abraham. But you want to kill Me because My Word is not in your hearts.

أنا أعرِفُ أنَّكُمْ مِنْ نَسلِ إبْراهِيْمَ، لَكِنَّكُمْ تَسْعَوْنَ إلَى قَتلِي لِأنَّهُ لا مَكانَ لِتَعلِيْمِي فِيْكُمْ.

38 I speak of what I saw when I was with My Father. You do what you have seen your father do.”

أنا أتَحَدَّثُ بِما رَأيْتُ مِنْ أبِي، وَأنتُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ ما سَمِعْتُمُوهُ مِنْ أبِيْكُمْ.»

39 T hey said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said, “If you were children of Abraham, you would do what he did.

فَقالُوا لَهُ: «إبْراهِيْمُ هُوَ أبُونا!» فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَوْ كُنْتُمْ أولادَ إبْراهِيْمَ لَعَمِلْتُمِ الأشْياءَ الَّتِي عَمِلَها إبْراهِيْمُ.

40 I am a Man Who has told you the truth as I heard it from God. Now you are trying to kill Me. Abraham never did anything like that.

لَكِنَّكُمْ تَسْعَوْنَ إلَى قَتلِي، وَأنا إنسانٌ أخبَرَكُم بِالحَقِّ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ مِنَ اللهِ. وَإبْراهِيْمُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ شَيْئاً كَهَذا.

41 Y ou are doing the works of your father.” They said to Him, “We were born of parents who were faithful in marriage. We have one Father. He is God.”

أمّا أنتُمْ فَتَعْمَلُونَ أعمالَ أبِيْكُمْ.» فَقالُوا لَهُ: «لَمْ نُولَدْ مِنْ زِناً! لَنا أبٌ واحِدٌ هُوَ اللهُ!»

42 J esus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love Me. I came from God. I did not come on My own, but God sent Me.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَوْ كانَ اللهُ أباكُمْ حَقّاً لأحبَبْتُمُونِي، لِأنِّي جِئْتُ مِنَ اللهِ، وَها أنا هُنا. لَمْ آتِ مِنْ نَفْسِي، لَكِنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي.

43 W hy do you not understand what I say? It is because you do not want to hear My teaching.

«لِماذا لا تَفْهَمُونَ ما أقُولُ؟ ذَلِكَ لِأنَّكُمْ لا تَقْدِرُونَ أنْ تَقْبَلُوا تَعلِيْمِي.

44 T he devil is your father. You are from him. You want to do the sinful things your father, the devil, wants you to do. He has been a killer from the beginning. The devil has nothing to do with the truth. There is no truth in him. It is expected of the devil to lie, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

أنتُمْ مِنْ أبِيْكُمْ إبلِيْسَ، وَتُرِيْدُونَ أنْ تَعْمَلُوا شَهَواتِ أبِيْكُمْ. لَقَدْ كانَ قاتِلاً مُنْذُ البِدايَةِ. لَمْ يَتَمَسَّكْ بِالحَقِّ، إذْ لا يُوجَدُ أيُّ حَقٍّ فِيْهِ. وَحِيْنَ يَكْذِبُ، فَإنَّهُ يُعَبِّرُ عَنْ طَبِيْعَتِهِ، لِأنَّهُ كَذّابُ وَأبُو الكَذِبِ.

45 I tell you the truth and that is why you do not put your trust in Me.

«لَكِنَّكُمْ تَرْفُضُونَ أنْ تُصَدِّقُونِي لِأنِّي أقُولُ الصِّدْقَ.

46 W hich one of you can say I am guilty of sin? If I tell you the truth, why do you not believe Me?

مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَسْتَطِيْعُ أنْ يُثْبِتَ عَلَيَّ خَطِيَّةً واحِدَةً؟ فَما دُمْتُ أقُولُ الصِّدْقَ، لِماذا تَرْفُضُونَ أنْ تُصَدِّقُونِي؟

47 W hoever is born of God listens to God’s Word. You do not hear His Word because you are not born of God.” The Jews Say Jesus Has a Demon

مَنْ كانَ مِنَ اللهِ فَهَذا يُصْغِي إلَى كَلامِ اللهِ. وَأنتُمْ لا تُصْغُونَ، لِأنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِنَ اللهِ.» يَسُوعُ وَإبْراهِيْم

48 T he Jews said to Jesus, “Are we not right when we say You are from the country of Samaria, and You have a demon?”

فَأجابَهُ قادَةُ اليَهُودِ: «ألَسْنا مُحِقِّيْنَ فِي قَولِنا إنَّكَ سامِرِيٌّ وَفِيْكَ رُوحٌ شِرِّيْرٌ؟»

49 J esus said, “No, I do not have a demon. I honor My Father. You do not honor Me.

أجابَ يَسُوعُ: «لَيْسَ فِيَّ رُوحٌ شِرِّيْرٌ، بَلْ أنا أُمَجِّدُ أبِي وَأنتُمْ تُهِيْنُونَنِي!

50 I am not looking for honor for Myself. There is One Who is looking for it. He says what is right from wrong.

أنا لا أسْعَى إلَى تَمْجِيْدِ نَفْسِي، فَهُناكَ مَنْ يَطلُبُ ذَلِكَ لِيْ وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيُحاكِمُ.

51 F or sure, I tell you, if anyone keeps My Word, that one will never die.”

أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: إنْ أطاعَ أحَدٌ تَعلِيْمِي فَلَنْ يَمُوتَ أبَداً.»

52 T hen the Jews said to Him, “Now we know You have a demon. Abraham died. The early preachers died. You say, ‘If anyone keeps My Word, that one will never die.’

فَقالَ لَهُ قادَةُ اليَهُودِ: «الآنَ تَأكَّدْنا أنَّ فِيْكَ رُوحاً شِرِّيْراً! فَحَتَّى إبْراهِيْمُ وَالأنبِياءُ كُلُّهُمْ ماتُوا، وَأنتَ تَقُولَ: ‹إنْ أطاعَ أحَدٌ تَعلِيْمِي فَلَنْ يَمُوتَ أبَداً.›

53 A re you greater than our father Abraham? He died and the early preachers died. Who do You think You are?”

فَهَلْ تَزْعُمُ أنَّكَ أعظَمُ مِنْ أبِيْنا إبْراهِيْمَ؟ فَقَدْ ماتَ هُوَ، وَماتَ الأنبِياءُ أيضاً. فَمَنْ تَحسِبُ نَفْسَكَ؟»

54 J esus said, “If I honor Myself, My honor would be worth nothing. My Father honors Me. You say He is your God.

أجابَ يَسُوعُ: «إنْ كُنْتُ أُمَجِّدُ نَفْسِي، فَذَلِكَ المَجدُ لا يُساوِي شَيْئاً. لَكِنَّ الَّذِي يُمَجَّدُنِي هُوَ أبِي الَّذِي تَقُولُونَ إنَّهُ إلَهُكُمْ،

55 Y ou have never known Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know the Father and obey His Word.

بَيْنَما أنتُمْ لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهُ قَطُّ، وَأنا أعرِفُهُ. وَلَوْ قُلْتُ إنِّي لا أعرِفُهُ، لَكُنْتُ كاذِباً مِثلَكُمْ. لَكِنِّي أعرِفُهُ بِالفِعلِ وَأُطِيْعُ كَلامَهُ.

56 Y our father Abraham was glad that he was to see My coming. He saw it and was happy.”

أبُوكُمْ إبْراهِيْمُ ابْتَهَجَ مُتَشَوِّقاً لِأنْ يَرَى يَوْمِي، وَقَدْ رَآهُ وَفَرِحَ.»

57 T he Jews said to Jesus, “You are not even fifty years old. How could you have seen Abraham?”

فَقالَ لَهُ قادَةُ اليَهُودِ: «لَمْ تَبلُغِ الخَمْسِيْنَ بَعْدُ، وَقَدْ رَأيْتَ إبْراهِيْمَ؟» قالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: قَبلَ أنْ يَكُونَ إبْراهِيْمُ، أنا كائِنٌ.»

58 J esus said to them, “For sure, I tell you, before Abraham was born, I was and am and always will be!”

عِندَ هَذا التَقَطُوا حِجارَةً لِيَرْمُوهُ بِها،

59 T hen they picked up stones to throw at Him. Jesus hid Himself and left the house of God.

لَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ تَوارَى عَنْهُمْ وَغادَرَ ساحَةَ الهَيْكَلِ.
