1 Ko Ihu i haere ki Maunga Oriwa.

2 A i te atatu ka hoki ano ia ki te temepara, a tae katoa ana te iwi ki a ia; na ka noho ia, ka whakaako i a ratou.

3 Katahi ka arahina mai ki a ia e nga karaipi ratou ko nga Parihi tetahi wahine i hopukia e puremu ana; a whakaturia ana ki waenganui.

4 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, i hopukia putia te wahine nei e puremu ana.

5 I whakahau a Mohi ki a matou i roto i te ture, kia akina nga penei ki te kohatu: tena koa tau ki?

6 I penei ai ratou he whakamatautau mona, kia whai take ai ratou e whakapangia ai he he ki a ia. Ka piko a Ihu, a tuhituhi ana tona ringa ki te whenua.

7 A ka tohe tonu ratou ki te ui ki a ia, ka whakatika ake ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te tangata o koutou kahore ona hara, mana te kohatu matamua e aki ki a ia.

8 Na ka piko ano ia, ka tuhituhi ki te whenua.

9 A, i to ratou rongonga, ka haere takitahi atu ki waho, na nga kaumatua i timata, a poto noa o muri rawa: a ko Ihu anake i mahue, me te wahine e tu ana i waenganui.

10 A, ko te marangatanga ake o Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E tai, kei hea ratou? kahore he tangata i whakatatau he ki a koe?

11 Ano ra ko tera, Kahore, e te Ariki. Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kahore ano hoki ahau e whakatau i te he ki a koe: haere, kati te hara.

1 And at dawn he came again to the temple,

2 and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;

3 and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

4 they say to him, Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime -- committing adultery,

5 and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?

6 and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

7 and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, The sinless of you -- let him first cast the stone at her;

8 and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

9 and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders -- unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those -- thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?

11 and she said, No one, Sir; and Jesus said to her, Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.
