Den he sit down dea fo teach dem. 3 Da guys dat teach Godʼs Rules an da Pharisee guys wen find one wahine fooling aroun wit one guy dat not her husban. So dey bring her in front Jesus an all da peopo. 4 Dey tell him, “Teacha, we wen find dis wahine fooling aroun wit anodda guy dat not her husban! 5 Now, Moses wen tell us in da Rules, ‘Whoeva fool aroun behind da oddaʼs back, gotta throw big kine stones at um fo kill um.’ But you, wat you say?” 6 Dey say dat fo see wat he goin say, cuz dey like catch him fo bus him.
But Jesus wen bend ova an write someting wit his finga on top da dirt. 7 So wen dey stay aks him ova an ova, he stand up strait an tell um, “If get one a you guys dat neva do bad kine stuff, he can throw da first stone at her.” 8 Den he bend ova one mo time, an write some mo on top da dirt.
9 Wen dey hear dat, dey wen come shame cuz dey know dey do bad kine stuff too. So dey all go way, one afta da odda, da older guys first, an den da younga guys. Den get ony Jesus an da wahine standing dea. 10 Jesus stand up again an say, “Sista, wea everybody stay? No mo nobody hea fo say you gotta mahke?”

12 Jesus wen talk to dem one mo time. He say, “I jalike da light fo da peopo inside da world. Whoeva come by me an be my guy, dey no goin go aroun inside da dark. Dey goin get da light dat make dem live fo real kine.”
13 Da Pharisee guys tell him, “Eh! You saying dis fo yoaself. No mo odda guy say um fo you. So dat not nuff fo make proof dat wat you say stay true.”
14 Jesus tell dem, “No matta I talk fo myself, wat I say stay true. I know wea I wen come from, an wea I going. But you guys, you donno wea I wen come from, o wea I going. 15 You guys figga how one guy stay from looking at him on da outside. I no tink lidat. 16 No matta if I say one guy good o bad, I wen tell da trut, cuz I no do um by myself. I get my Fadda fo help me, cuz he da One wen send me hea. 17 Yoa own Rules say dat wen two peopo tell da same ting, den wat dey say stay true. 18 Kay den. I tell bout myself, an my Fadda who wen send me hea, he tell da same ting bout me.”
19 Dey tell, “Yeah? Yoa fadda, wea he stay?”
Jesus say, “You guys donno me o my Fadda. If you guys wen know me, den you guys wen know my Fadda too.”
20 Jesus wen say all dat wen he wen teach inside da Temple, near da place wea dey bring da money. An nobody bus him, cuz not time yet fo dat.
“Da Place I Going, You Guys No Can Go Dea”
21 Jesus tell dem again, “I going away, an you guys goin look fo me. Da place I going, you guys no can go dea. But you guys goin mahke wit all da bad kine stuff you guys stay doing.”
22 So da Jewish leada guys say, “Wat he talking bout? He goin kill himself, o wat? Cuz he say, ‘Da place I going, you guys no can go dea.’ ”
23 Jesus tell dem, “You guys come from down hea, I come from up dea. You guys come from dis world, I no come from dis world. 24 Dass why I wen say dat you guys goin mahke wit all da bad kine stuff you guys stay doing. Cuz if you guys no believe dat I da Spesho Guy, den you guys goin mahke wit all yoa bad kine stuff.”
25 So dey aks him, “Eh, who you?”
Jesus say, “I da same guy, jalike I wen tell you guys from da start. 26 Get plenny bad kine stuff I can tell bout you guys, but I no goin tell um. Da One who wen send me hea, he everytime tell da trut. I ony tell da peopo inside da world da stuff I wen hear from him.” 27 (He mean his Fadda. But dem guys, dey no undastan.)
28 Jesus tell dem, “Bumbye you guys goin put me, da Guy Dass Fo Real, up high. Den you guys goin know dat I da Spesho Guy, an dat I no do notting by myself. I ony teach da stuff my Fadda wen teach me. 29 Da One who wen send me hea, he stay wit me. He no leave me by myself. I everytime do da kine stuff dat he like.”
30 Wen he wen say all dat, plenny peopo wen trus him.
“You Guys Goin Know Wat Stay True”
31 Den Jesus tell da Jewish peopo dat wen trus him, “If you guys stick wit me an da stuff I teaching you, den you goin be my guys fo real kine, an you guys goin learn mo plenny stuff from me. 32 You guys goin know da true stuff, an den you guys no need be slave guys no moa.”
33 Dey tell him, “Ho! Us guys come from Abraham! We neva was slave guys eva! Wat you mean, ‘No need be slave guys no moa’?”
34 Jesus tell dem, “Dass right, wat I wen tell you! An I tell you guys dis too: Whoeva stay do da bad kine stuff, dey jalike one slave, cuz dey gotta do da bad kine stuff. 35 You know, one slave guy no stay wit da boss foeva. Ony da bossʼs boy, he stay wit him foeva. 36 So, I Godʼs Boy, an if I hemo da shame fo da bad kine stuff you guys wen do, an let you guys go, den you guys no need be slave guys foeva. Fo shua you guys no need do da bad kine stuff!
37 “I know dat you guys come from Abraham. But still yet, you guys trying fo kill me, cuz you guys no like take da stuff I stay teaching. 38 I tell bout da stuff I wen see, dat my Fadda wen show me, an you guys do da stuff you wen hear bout from you guys fadda.”
Da Devil, He You Guys Fadda
39 Dey tell him, “Us guys, eh, Abraham our fadda!”
Jesus tell dem, “If you guys was Abrahamʼs kids, den you guys suppose to do da kine stuff Abraham wen do. 40 But now you guys stay trying fo kill me, no matta I everytime tell you guys da trut, jalike I wen hear um from my Fadda. Abraham, he neva make like you guys! 41 You guys do da kine stuff dat come from yoa fadda.”
Dey tell him, “Eh, us guys ony get one fadda, an he God! No mo odda guy our fadda!”
42 Jesus tell dem, “If God was you guys fadda, den you guys wen get love an aloha fo me, cuz I wen come from God, an now I stay hea. I neva come by myself, but God wen send me hea. 43 How come you guys no can undastan da stuff I telling you? Cuz you guys no like listen, dass why!
44 “You guys come from yoa fadda, da Devil! You guys like do da kine stuff he like do. From da start, he wen like kill da peopo. He no like da trut, cuz no mo notting true inside him. He everytime bulai, cuz dass wat he like do. He da first guy eva wen bulai, cuz dass how he stay. 45 I stay telling you guys da trut, but you guys no trus me. 46 You guys no can show proof dat I wen do da bad kine stuff, yeah? So, if I stay telling da trut, how come you guys no trus me?
47 “Whoeva come from God, dey listen to wat God say. Dass why you guys no like listen to me, cuz you guys no come from God.”
“Befo Abraham Stay, I Stay Awready”
48 Da Jewish leada guys tell him, “Az right wat we saying! You one Samaria guy, not one real Jew, an you get one bad kine spirit in charge a you!”
49 Jesus tell dem, “I no mo bad kine spirit in charge a me. I show respeck fo my Fadda. But you guys no mo respeck fo me. 50 I no try fo make peopo tink I awesome. Get anodda One dat show peopo how awesome I stay, an he da judge.
51 “If you guys undastan dat, den I like tell you guys dis too: Whoeva listen to wat I say, dat guy no goin mahke, eva!”
52 Den da Jewish leada guys tell him, “Ho! Now we stay shua dat you get one bad kine spirit in charge a you. Abraham wen mahke, an da guys dat wen talk fo God long time ago, dey wen mahke too. But you still say, ‘Whoeva listen to wat I say, dey no goin mahke, eva.’ 53 You tink you mo importan den our fadda Abraham? He wen mahke awready. An da guys dat wen talk fo God, dey wen mahke too. Who you tink you, hah?”
54 Jesus say, “If I try make da peopo tink I awesome, dat no good. My Fadda, he da One dat show dem how awesome I stay. An you guys say dat he yoa God. 55 But you guys neva know him. I know him. If I wen say dat I donno him, den I bulai, jalike you guys. But I know him, an I do wat he say. 56 Abraham, dass you guys fadda. He wen stay real good inside wen he tink dat I goin come hea. He wen see dat, an he feel good inside.”
57 Da Jewish leada guys tell him, “Eh! you no make fifty years yet! Wat you mean, you wen see Abraham?”
58 Jesus tell dem, “Dass right! An I tell you guys dis too: Befo Abraham wen born, I wen stay awready.”
59 Den dem guys wen go get rocks fo throw at Jesus. But he wen hide an wen go outside from da temple yard.
