يوحنَّا 5

١ 1 وَبَعْدَ هَذَا كَانَ عِيدٌ لِلْيَهُودِ، فَصَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

After this, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

٢ 2 وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عِنْدَ بَابِ ٱلضَّأْنِ بِرْكَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا بِٱلْعِبْرَانِيَّةِ «بَيْتُ حِسْدَا» لَهَا خَمْسَةُ أَرْوِقَةٍ.

Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem, there is a pool, which is called Bethesda in Hebrew. It’s surrounded by five covered colonnades.

٣ 3 فِي هَذِهِ كَانَ مُضْطَجِعًا جُمْهُورٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ مَرْضَى وَعُمْيٍ وَعُرْجٍ وَعُسْمٍ، يَتَوَقَّعُونَ تَحْرِيكَ ٱلْمَاءِ.

In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water,

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ مَلَاكًا كَانَ يَنْزِلُ أَحْيَانًا فِي ٱلْبِرْكَةِ وَيُحَرِّكُ ٱلْمَاءَ. فَمَنْ نَزَلَ أَوَّلًا بَعْدَ تَحْرِيكِ ٱلْمَاءِ كَانَ يَبْرَأُ مِنْ أَيِّ مَرَضٍ ٱعْتَرَاهُ.

for an angel went down from time to time into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease that person had.

٥ 5 وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانٌ بِهِ مَرَضٌ مُنْذُ ثَمَانٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً.

A certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.

٦ 6 هَذَا رَآهُ يَسُوعُ مُضْطَجِعًا، وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ لَهُ زَمَانًا كَثِيرًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَبْرَأَ؟».

When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been sick for a long time, He asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”

٧ 7 أَجَابَهُ ٱلْمَرِيضُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَيْسَ لِي إِنْسَانٌ يُلْقِينِي فِي ٱلْبِرْكَةِ مَتَى تَحَرَّكَ ٱلْمَاءُ. بَلْ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا آتٍ، يَنْزِلُ قُدَّامِي آخَرُ».

The sick man answered, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”

٨ 8 قَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «قُمِ. ٱحْمِلْ سَرِيرَكَ وَٱمْشِ».

Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

٩ 9 فَحَالًا بَرِئَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ وَحَمَلَ سَرِيرَهُ وَمَشَى. وَكَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ سَبْتٌ.

Immediately, the man was made well, took up his mat, and walked. That was on the Sabbath day.

١٠ 10 فَقَالَ ٱلْيَهُودُ لِلَّذِي شُفِيَ: «إِنَّهُ سَبْتٌ! لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ سَرِيرَكَ».

Therefore the Jews were telling him who was cured, “It’s the Sabbath, and it isn’t legal for you to carry your mat.”

١١ 11 أَجَابَهُمْ: «إِنَّ ٱلَّذِي أَبْرَأَنِي هُوَ قَالَ لِي: ٱحْمِلْ سَرِيرَكَ وَٱمْشِ».

He answered them, “He who made me well told me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”

١٢ 12 فَسَأَلُوهُ: «مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَكَ: ٱحْمِلْ سَرِيرَكَ وَٱمْشِ؟».

Then they asked him, “Who told you to ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”

١٣ 13 أَمَّا ٱلَّذِي شُفِيَ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْلَمُ مَنْ هُوَ، لِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ ٱعْتَزَلَ، إِذْ كَانَ فِي ٱلْمَوْضِعِ جَمْعٌ.

The man who had been healed didn’t know who it was, because Jesus had disappeared into the crowd.

١٤ 14 بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَجَدَهُ يَسُوعُ فِي ٱلْهَيْكَلِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَا أَنْتَ قَدْ بَرِئْتَ، فَلَا تُخْطِئْ أَيْضًا، لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لَكَ أَشَرُّ».

Later, Jesus found him in the temple and told him, “See, you have been made well! Don’t sin any more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

١٥ 15 فَمَضَى ٱلْإِنْسَانُ وَأَخْبَرَ ٱلْيَهُودَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَبْرَأَهُ.

The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

١٦ 16 وَلِهَذَا كَانَ ٱلْيَهُودُ يَطْرُدُونَ يَسُوعَ، وَيَطْلُبُونَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ، لِأَنَّهُ عَمِلَ هَذَا فِي سَبْتٍ.

For this reason, the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

١٧ 17 فَأَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أَبِي يَعْمَلُ حَتَّى ٱلْآنَ وَأَنَا أَعْمَلُ».

Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”

١٨ 18 فَمِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا كَانَ ٱلْيَهُودُ يَطْلُبُونَ أَكْثَرَ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَنْقُضِ ٱلسَّبْتَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ قَالَ أَيْضًا إِنَّ ٱللهَ أَبُوهُ، مُعَادِلًا نَفْسَهُ بِٱللهِ.

Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

١٩ 19 فَأَجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَا يَقْدِرُ ٱلِٱبْنُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا مَا يَنْظُرُ ٱلْآبَ يَعْمَلُ. لِأَنْ مَهْمَا عَمِلَ ذَاكَ فَهَذَا يَعْمَلُهُ ٱلِٱبْنُ كَذَلِكَ.

Then Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless He sees the Father do it, for whatever He does, the Son does likewise.

٢٠ 20 لِأَنَّ ٱلْآبَ يُحِبُّ ٱلِٱبْنَ وَيُرِيهِ جَمِيعَ مَا هُوَ يَعْمَلُهُ، وَسَيُرِيهِ أَعْمَالًا أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذِهِ لِتَتَعَجَّبُوا أَنْتُمْ.

The Father loves the Son, and shows Him everything that He Himself does. He will show Him even greater works than these, that you may marvel.

٢١ 21 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ يُقِيمُ ٱلْأَمْوَاتَ وَيُحْيِي، كَذَلِكَ ٱلِٱبْنُ أَيْضًا يُحْيِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ.

As the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whoever He wishes.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّ ٱلْآبَ لَا يَدِينُ أَحَدًا، بَلْ قَدْ أَعْطَى كُلَّ ٱلدَّيْنُونَةِ لِلِٱبْنِ،

The Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,

٢٣ 23 لِكَيْ يُكْرِمَ ٱلْجَمِيعُ ٱلِٱبْنَ كَمَا يُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْآبَ. مَنْ لَا يُكْرِمُ ٱلِٱبْنَ لَا يُكْرِمُ ٱلْآبَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ.

that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent Him.

٢٤ 24 «اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ كَلَامِي وَيُؤْمِنُ بِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي فَلَهُ حَيَاةٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ، وَلَا يَأْتِي إِلَى دَيْنُونَةٍ، بَلْ قَدِ ٱنْتَقَلَ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ إِلَى ٱلْحَيَاةِ. (aiōnios g166)

“Most assuredly, I tell you, the person who hears my words and believes in Him who sent me has everlasting life, and won’t come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. (aiōnios g166)

٢٥ 25 اَلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ وَهِيَ ٱلْآنَ، حِينَ يَسْمَعُ ٱلْأَمْوَاتُ صَوْتَ ٱبْنِ ٱللهِ، وَٱلسَّامِعُونَ يَحْيَوْنَ.

Most assuredly, I tell you, the time is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of God’s Son, and those who hear will live.

٢٦ 26 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ لَهُ حَيَاةٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ، كَذَلِكَ أَعْطَى ٱلِٱبْنَ أَيْضًا أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ حَيَاةٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ،

For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,

٢٧ 27 وَأَعْطَاهُ سُلْطَانًا أَنْ يَدِينَ أَيْضًا، لِأَنَّهُ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.

and has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

٢٨ 28 لَا تَتَعَجَّبُوا مِنْ هَذَا، فَإِنَّهُ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ فِيهَا يَسْمَعُ جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْقُبُورِ صَوْتَهُ،

Don’t marvel at this, for the time is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice

٢٩ 29 فَيَخْرُجُ ٱلَّذِينَ فَعَلُوا ٱلصَّالِحَاتِ إِلَى قِيَامَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا ٱلسَّيِّئَاتِ إِلَى قِيَامَةِ ٱلدَّيْنُونَةِ.

and come out — those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

٣٠ 30 أَنَا لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ مِنْ نَفْسِي شَيْئًا. كَمَا أَسْمَعُ أَدِينُ، وَدَيْنُونَتِي عَادِلَةٌ، لِأَنِّي لَا أَطْلُبُ مَشِيئَتِي بَلْ مَشِيئَةَ ٱلْآبِ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

I can do nothing by myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

٣١ 31 «إِنْ كُنْتُ أَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي فَشَهَادَتِي لَيْسَتْ حَقًّا.

“If I testify about myself, my testimony isn’t valid.

٣٢ 32 ٱلَّذِي يَشْهَدُ لِي هُوَ آخَرُ، وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ شَهَادَتَهُ ٱلَّتِي يَشْهَدُهَا لِي هِيَ حَقٌّ.

There is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that his testimony about me is valid.

٣٣ 33 أَنْتُمْ أَرْسَلْتُمْ إِلَى يُوحَنَّا فَشَهِدَ لِلْحَقِّ.

You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

٣٤ 34 وَأَنَا لَا أَقْبَلُ شَهَادَةً مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ، وَلَكِنِّي أَقُولُ هَذَا لِتَخْلُصُوا أَنْتُمْ.

Not that I accept human testimony, but I tell you this so that you may be saved.

٣٥ 35 كَانَ هُوَ ٱلسِّرَاجَ ٱلْمُوقَدَ ٱلْمُنِيرَ، وَأَنْتُمْ أَرَدْتُمْ أَنْ تَبْتَهِجُوا بِنُورِهِ سَاعَةً.

John was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

٣٦ 36 وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلِي شَهَادَةٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُوحَنَّا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَعْمَالَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَانِي ٱلْآبُ لِأُكَمِّلَهَا، هَذِهِ ٱلْأَعْمَالُ بِعَيْنِهَا ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أَعْمَلُهَا هِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي.

I have a greater testimony than John’s. The works that the Father has given me to finish — the very works that I do — testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

٣٧ 37 وَٱلْآبُ نَفْسُهُ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي يَشْهَدُ لِي. لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا صَوْتَهُ قَطُّ، وَلَا أَبْصَرْتُمْ هَيْئَتَهُ،

The Father Himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

٣٨ 38 وَلَيْسَتْ لَكُمْ كَلِمَتُهُ ثَابِتَةً فِيكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ هُوَ لَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ.

You don’t have His words dwelling in you, because you don’t believe the One who He sent.

٣٩ 39 فَتِّشُوا ٱلْكُتُبَ لِأَنَّكُمْ تَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهَا حَيَاةً أَبَدِيَّةً. وَهِيَ ٱلَّتِي تَشْهَدُ لِي. (aiōnios g166)

You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life, and these testify about me. (aiōnios g166)

٤٠ 40 وَلَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ لِتَكُونَ لَكُمْ حَيَاةٌ.

Yet you refuse to come to me to have life.

٤١ 41 «مَجْدًا مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَسْتُ أَقْبَلُ،

“I don’t accept glory from men,

٤٢ 42 وَلَكِنِّي قَدْ عَرَفْتُكُمْ أَنْ لَيْسَتْ لَكُمْ مَحَبَّةُ ٱللهِ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ.

but I know you. I know that you don’t have God’s sincere love in you.

٤٣ 43 أَنَا قَدْ أَتَيْتُ بِٱسْمِ أَبِي وَلَسْتُمْ تَقْبَلُونَنِي. إِنْ أَتَى آخَرُ بِٱسْمِ نَفْسِهِ فَذَلِكَ تَقْبَلُونَهُ.

I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t accept me, but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

٤٤ 44 كَيْفَ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْبَلُونَ مَجْدًا بَعْضُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، وَٱلْمَجْدُ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ لَسْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَهُ؟

How can you believe when you accept glory from one another, and don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?

٤٥ 45 «لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي أَشْكُوكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْآبِ. يُوجَدُ ٱلَّذِي يَشْكُوكُمْ وَهُوَ مُوسَى، ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ رَجَاؤُكُمْ.

“Don’t think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, who you have set your hope on.

٤٦ 46 لِأَنَّكُمْ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تُصَدِّقُونَ مُوسَى لَكُنْتُمْ تُصَدِّقُونَنِي، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ كَتَبَ عَنِّي.

If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.

٤٧ 47 فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ تُصَدِّقُونَ كُتُبَ ذَاكَ، فَكَيْفَ تُصَدِّقُونَ كَلَامِي؟».

If you don’t believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
