Jn 8:1-11 -- Woman caught in adultery - Il-mara li nqabdet fl-adulterju




8. Il-mara li nqabdet fl-adulterju
[Ġw:8:1] Ġesù telaq lejn l-Għolja taż-Żebbuġ. [Ġw:8:2] Imma l-għada qabel is-sebħ raġa' mar fit-tempju, u l-poplu kollu ġie ħdejh, u hu qagħad bilqiegħda jgħallimhom. [Ġw:8:3] Mbagħad il-kittieba u l-Fariżej ħadulu quddiemu waħda mara li kienet inqabdet fl-adulterju. Huma qegħduha fin-nofs [Ġw:8:4] u qalulu: "Mgħallem, din il-mara nqabdet fil-fatt fl-adulterju. [Ġw:8:5] Issa fil-Liġi tagħna Mosè ordnalna biex nisa bħal dawn inħaġġruhom. Int, imma, xi tgħid?" [Ġw:8:6] Dan qaluhulu biex iġarrbuh, ħalli jkollhom fuqiex jixluh. Imma Ġesù tbaxxa lejn l-art u beda jikteb b'sebgħu fit-trab. [Ġw:8:7] Billi dawk baqgħu jistaqsuh, qam dritt u qalilhom: "Min fostkom hu bla dnub jitfgħalha hu l-ewwel ġebla." [Ġw:8:8] U raġa' tbaxxa jikteb fit-trab. [Ġw:8:9] Kif semgħuh jgħid dan, qabdu u telqu wieħed wara l-ieħor, ibda mix-xjuħ, u Ġesù baqa' waħdu mal-mara, wieqfa fin-nofs. [Ġw:8:10] Qam dritt u qalilha: "Dawk fejnhom, mara? Ħadd minnhom ma kkundannak?" [Ġw:8:11] "Ħadd, Sinjur," qaltlu."Mela anqas jien ma nikkundannak," qalilha Ġesù. "Mur, u mil-llum 'il quddiem tidnibx iżjed."

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE CATHOLIC (produced in 2012)




The Four Marks of all who belong to the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church, as they were in the beginning, are now, and always shall be, even unto the end of the age:


(1) Proclamation of the Good News
(2) Instruction in Truth
(3) Worship and Fellowship
(4) Service to the community.
