John 8 (AVD) · Opened

1أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَمَضَى إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلزَّيْتُونِ.But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2ثُمَّ حَضَرَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ فِي ٱلصُّبْحِ، وَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فَجَلَسَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ.Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them.

3وَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْكَتَبَةُ وَٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ ٱمْرَأَةً أُمْسِكَتْ فِي زِنًا. وَلَمَّا أَقَامُوهَا فِي ٱلْوَسْطِThe scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them

4قَالُوا لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أُمْسِكَتْ وَهِيَ تَزْنِي فِي ذَاتِ ٱلْفِعْلِ،and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

5وَمُوسَى فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ أَوْصَانَا أَنَّ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ تُرْجَمُ. فَمَاذَا تَقُولُ أَنْتَ؟».In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”

6قَالُوا هَذَا لِيُجَرِّبُوهُ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَهُمْ مَا يَشْتَكُونَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ. وَأَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَٱنْحَنَى إِلَى أَسْفَلُ وَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ بِإِصْبِعِهِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.

7وَلَمَّا ٱسْتَمَرُّوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ، ٱنْتَصَبَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ بِلَا خَطِيَّةٍ فَلْيَرْمِهَا أَوَّلًا بِحَجَرٍ!».When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”

8ثُمَّ ٱنْحَنَى أَيْضًا إِلَى أَسْفَلُ وَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.

9وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا وَكَانَتْ ضَمَائِرُهُمْ تُبَكِّتُهُمْ، خَرَجُوا وَاحِدًا فَوَاحِدًا، مُبْتَدِئِينَ مِنَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ إِلَى ٱلْآخِرِينَ. وَبَقِيَ يَسُوعُ وَحْدَهُ وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ وَاقِفَةٌ فِي ٱلْوَسْطِ.When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.

10فَلَمَّا ٱنْتَصَبَ يَسُوعُ وَلَمْ يَنْظُرْ أَحَدًا سِوَى ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، قَالَ لَهَا: «يَا ٱمْرَأَةُ، أَيْنَ هُمْ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْمُشْتَكُونَ عَلَيْكِ؟ أَمَا دَانَكِ أَحَدٌ؟».Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”

11فَقَالَتْ «لَا أَحَدَ، يَا سَيِّدُ!». فَقَالَ لَهَا يَسُوعُ: «وَلَا أَنَا أَدِينُكِ. ٱذْهَبِي وَلَا تُخْطِئِي أَيْضًا».“No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”

12ثُمَّ كَلَّمَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا قَائِلًا: «أَنَا هُوَ نُورُ ٱلْعَالَمِ. مَنْ يَتْبَعْنِي فَلَا يَمْشِي فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ بَلْ يَكُونُ لَهُ نُورُ ٱلْحَيَاةِ».Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

13فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ: «أَنْتَ تَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِكَ. شَهَادَتُكَ لَيْسَتْ حَقًّا».So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”

14أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي فَشَهَادَتِي حَقٌّ، لِأَنِّي أَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتُ وَإِلَى أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ. وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلَا تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ آتِي وَلَا إِلَى أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ.Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.

15أَنْتُمْ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ تَدِينُونَ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ أَدِينُ أَحَدًا.You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

16وَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَدِينُ فَدَيْنُونَتِي حَقٌّ، لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ وَحْدِي، بَلْ أَنَا وَٱلْآبُ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.

17وَأَيْضًا فِي نَامُوسِكُمْ مَكْتُوبٌ أَنَّ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلَيْنِ حَقٌّ:Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.

18أَنَا هُوَ ٱلشَّاهِدُ لِنَفْسِي، وَيَشْهَدُ لِي ٱلْآبُ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي».I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”

19فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَيْنَ هُوَ أَبُوكَ؟». أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَنِي أَنَا وَلَا أَبِي. لَوْ عَرَفْتُمُونِي لَعَرَفْتُمْ أَبِي أَيْضًا».“Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.”

20هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامُ قَالَهُ يَسُوعُ فِي ٱلْخِزَانَةِ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ. وَلَمْ يُمْسِكْهُ أَحَدٌ، لِأَنَّ سَاعَتَهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَدْ جَاءَتْ بَعْدُ.He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts, near the treasury. Yet no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

21قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ أَيْضًا: «أَنَا أَمْضِي وَسَتَطْلُبُونَنِي، وَتَمُوتُونَ فِي خَطِيَّتِكُمْ. حَيْثُ أَمْضِي أَنَا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا».Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

22فَقَالَ ٱلْيَهُودُ: «أَلَعَلَّهُ يَقْتُلُ نَفْسَهُ حَتَّى يَقُولُ: حَيْثُ أَمْضِي أَنَا لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا؟».So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”

23فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِنْ فَوْقُ. أَنْتُمْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ.Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

24فَقُلْتُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّكُمْ تَمُوتُونَ فِي خَطَايَاكُمْ، لِأَنَّكُمْ إِنْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ تَمُوتُونَ فِي خَطَايَاكُمْ».That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

25فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «مَنْ أَنْتَ؟». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ مَا أُكَلِّمُكُمْ أَيْضًا بِهِ.“Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.

26إِنَّ لِي أَشْيَاءَ كَثِيرَةً أَتَكَلَّمُ وَأَحْكُمُ بِهَا مِنْ نَحْوِكُمْ، لَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ حَقٌّ. وَأَنَا مَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ، فَهَذَا أَقُولُهُ لِلْعَالَمِ».“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”

27وَلَمْ يَفْهَمُوا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْآبِ.They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.

28فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «مَتَى رَفَعْتُمُ ٱبْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، فَحِينَئِذٍ تَفْهَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ، وَلَسْتُ أَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا مِنْ نَفْسِي، بَلْ أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا كَمَا عَلَّمَنِي أَبِي.So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.

29وَٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ مَعِي، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْنِي ٱلْآبُ وَحْدِي، لِأَنِّي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ أَفْعَلُ مَا يُرْضِيهِ».He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”

30وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا آمَنَ بِهِ كَثِيرُونَ.As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.

31فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِلْيَهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِهِ: «إِنَّكُمْ إِنْ ثَبَتُّمْ فِي كَلَامِي فَبِالْحَقِيقَةِ تَكُونُونَ تَلَامِيذِي،So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.

32وَتَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ، وَٱلْحَقُّ يُحَرِّرُكُمْ».Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

33أَجَابُوهُ: «إِنَّنَا ذُرِّيَّةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَلَمْ نُسْتَعْبَدْ لِأَحَدٍ قَطُّ! كَيْفَ تَقُولُ أَنْتَ: إِنَّكُمْ تَصِيرُونَ أَحْرَارًا؟».“We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”

34أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ ٱلْخَطِيَّةَ هُوَ عَبْدٌ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ.Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

35وَٱلْعَبْدُ لَا يَبْقَى فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، أَمَّا ٱلِٱبْنُ فَيَبْقَى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.A slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever.

36فَإِنْ حَرَّرَكُمْ ٱلِٱبْنُ فَبِالْحَقِيقَةِ تَكُونُونَ أَحْرَارًا.So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

37أَنَا عَالِمٌ أَنَّكُمْ ذُرِّيَّةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. لَكِنَّكُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ تَقْتُلُونِي لِأَنَّ كَلَامِي لَا مَوْضِعَ لَهُ فِيكُمْ.I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.

38أَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ بِمَا رَأَيْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي، وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ مَا رَأَيْتُمْ عِنْدَ أَبِيكُمْ».I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”

39أَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَبُونَا هُوَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ». قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَوْ كُنْتُمْ أَوْلَادَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، لَكُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ أَعْمَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ!“Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.

40وَلَكِنَّكُمُ ٱلْآنَ تَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ تَقْتُلُونِي، وَأَنَا إِنْسَانٌ قَدْ كَلَّمَكُمْ بِٱلْحَقِّ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعَهُ مِنَ ٱللهِ. هَذَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ.But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

41أَنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ أَعْمَالَ أَبِيكُمْ». فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «إِنَّنَا لَمْ نُولَدْ مِنْ زِنًا. لَنَا أَبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَهُوَ ٱللهُ».You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”

42فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَوْ كَانَ ٱللهُ أَبَاكُمْ لَكُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَنِي، لِأَنِّي خَرَجْتُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ وَأَتَيْتُ. لِأَنِّي لَمْ آتِ مِنْ نَفْسِي، بَلْ ذَاكَ أَرْسَلَنِي.Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.

43لِمَاذَا لَا تَفْهَمُونَ كَلَامِي؟ لِأَنَّكُمْ لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا قَوْلِي.Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.

44أَنْتُمْ مِنْ أَبٍ هُوَ إِبْلِيسُ، وَشَهَوَاتِ أَبِيكُمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا. ذَاكَ كَانَ قَتَّالًا لِلنَّاسِ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ، وَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ فِي ٱلْحَقِّ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِيهِ حَقٌّ. مَتَى تَكَلَّمَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ فَإِنَّمَا يَتَكَلَّمُ مِمَّا لَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ وَأَبُو ٱلْكَذَّابِ.You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

45وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلِأَنِّي أَقُولُ ٱلْحَقَّ لَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِي.But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!

46مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يُبَكِّتُنِي عَلَى خَطِيَّةٍ؟ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَقُولُ ٱلْحَقَّ، فَلِمَاذَا لَسْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِي؟Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?

47اَلَّذِي مِنَ ٱللهِ يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَ ٱللهِ. لِذَلِكَ أَنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِنَ ٱللهِ».Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

48فَأَجَاب ٱلْيَهُودُ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَلَسْنَا نَقُولُ حَسَنًا: إِنَّكَ سَامِرِيٌّ وَبِكَ شَيْطَانٌ؟».The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”

49أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا لَيْسَ بِي شَيْطَانٌ، لَكِنِّي أُكْرِمُ أَبِي وَأَنْتُمْ تُهِينُونَنِي.“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

50أَنَا لَسْتُ أَطْلُبُ مَجْدِي. يُوجَدُ مَنْ يَطْلُبُ وَيَدِينُ.I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.

51اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَحْفَظُ كَلَامِي فَلَنْ يَرَى ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».Truly, truly, I tell you, if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death.”

52فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ: ٱلْآنَ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّ بِكَ شَيْطَانًا. قَدْ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ، وَأَنْتَ تَقُولُ: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَحْفَظُ كَلَامِي فَلَنْ يَذُوقَ ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.“Now we know that You have a demon!” declared the Jews. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet You say that anyone who keeps Your word will never taste death.

53أَلَعَلَّكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي مَاتَ؟ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ مَاتُوا. مَنْ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ؟».Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?”

54أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ أُمَجِّدُ نَفْسِي فَلَيْسَ مَجْدِي شَيْئًا. أَبِي هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُمَجِّدُنِي، ٱلَّذِي تَقُولُونَ أَنْتُمْ إِنَّهُ إِلَهُكُمْ،Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The One who glorifies Me is My Father, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

55وَلَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَهُ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَعْرِفُهُ. وَإِنْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُهُ أَكُونُ مِثْلَكُمْ كَاذِبًا، لَكِنِّي أَعْرِفُهُ وَأَحْفَظُ قَوْلَهُ.You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.

56أَبُوكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ تَهَلَّلَ بِأَنْ يَرَى يَوْمِي فَرَأَى وَفَرِحَ».Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.”

57فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْيَهُودُ: «لَيْسَ لَكَ خَمْسُونَ سَنَةً بَعْدُ، أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ؟».Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”

58قَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: قَبْلَ أَنْ يَكُونَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَنَا كَائِنٌ».“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”

59فَرَفَعُوا حِجَارَةً لِيَرْجُمُوهُ. أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَٱخْتَفَى وَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ مُجْتَازًا فِي وَسْطِهِمْ وَمَضَى هَكَذَا.At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.
