ܝܘܚܢܢ 5
| ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܤܠܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ | 1 |
After this, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
| ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܒܝܬ ܚܤܕܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܚܡܫܐ ܐܤܛܘܝܢ | 2 |
Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem, there is a pool, which is called Bethesda in Hebrew. It’s surrounded by five covered colonnades.
| ܘܒܗܠܝܢ ܪܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܟܪܝܗܐ ܘܤܡܝܐ ܘܚܓܝܤܐ ܘܝܒܝܫܐ ܘܡܤܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܙܘܥܐ ܕܡܝܐ | 3 |
In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water,
| ܡܠܐܟܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܙܒܢ ܙܒܢ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܘܡܙܝܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܝܐ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܙܘܥܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܡܬܚܠܡ ܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܟܐܒܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ | 4 |
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.
| ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܬܠܬܝܢ ܘܬܡܢܐ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܐ | 5 |
A certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
| ܠܗܢܐ ܚܙܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܪܡܐ ܘܝܕܥ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܬܬܚܠܡ | 6 |
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?”
| ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܠܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܬܙܝܥܘ ܡܝܐ ܢܪܡܝܢܝ ܒܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝ ܢܚܬ | 7 |
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.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܘܡ ܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܗܠܟ | 8 |
Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
| ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܐܬܚܠܡ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܘܩܡ ܫܩܠ ܥܪܤܗ ܘܗܠܟ ܘܗܘ ܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܫܒܬܐ ܗܘܬ | 9 |
Immediately, the man was made well, took up his mat, and walked. That was on the Sabbath day.
| ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܬܐܤܝ ܫܒܬܐ ܗܝ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܟ ܕܬܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ | 10 |
Therefore the Jews were telling him who was cured, “It’s the Sabbath, and it isn’t legal for you to carry your mat.”
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕܢܝ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܕܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܗܠܟ | 11 |
He answered them, “He who made me well told me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
| ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܟ ܕܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܗܠܟ | 12 |
Then they asked him, “Who told you to ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܬܐܤܝ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܓܢܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܗܝ | 13 |
The man who had been healed didn’t know who it was, because Jesus had disappeared into the crowd.
| ܒܬܪ ܙܒܢ ܐܫܟܚܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܐ ܚܠܝܡ ܐܢܬ ܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܬܚܛܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܒܝܫ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܐ | 14 |
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.”
| ܘܐܙܠ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܚܠܡܗ | 15 |
The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
| ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܪܕܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܒܫܒܬܐ | 16 |
For this reason, the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܒܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ | 17 |
Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
| ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܕܫܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܫܒܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܫܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܥܡ ܐܠܗܐ | 18 |
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.
| ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܒܪܐ ܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܒܐ ܥܒܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܦ ܒܪܐ ܐܟܘܬܗ ܥܒܕ | 19 |
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.
| ܐܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܪܚܡ ܠܒܪܗ ܘܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܡܚܘܐ ܠܗ ܘܕܝܬܝܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܚܘܐ ܠܗ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܬܕܡܪܘܢ | 20 |
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.
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܒܐ ܡܩܝܡ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܡܚܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܒܪܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܡܚܐ | 21 |
As the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whoever He wishes.
| ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܒܐ ܕܐܢ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܗ ܕܝܢܐ ܝܗܒܗ ܠܒܪܐ | 22 |
The Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,
| ܕܟܠܢܫ ܢܝܩܪ ܠܒܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܡܝܩܪ ܠܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܡܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܐ ܕܫܕܪܗ | 23 |
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.
| ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܝ ܘܡܗܝܡܢ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܕܝܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܫܢܝ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܠܚܝܐ (aiōnios g166) | 24 |
“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)
| ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܬܝܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܠܗ ܕܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܢܚܘܢ | 25 |
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.
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܚܝܐ ܒܩܢܘܡܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܦ ܠܒܪܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܒܩܢܘܡܗ | 26 |
For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,
| ܘܐܫܠܛܗ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܦ ܕܝܢܐ | 27 |
and has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
| ܕܒܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܕܡܪܘܢ ܒܗܕܐ ܕܐܬܝܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܩܒܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܠܗ | 28 |
Don’t marvel at this, for the time is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
| ܘܢܦܩܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܛܒܬܐ ܠܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܠܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ | 29 |
and come out — those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
| ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܫܡܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܘܕܝܢܝ ܟܐܝܢ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܨܒܝܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ | 30 |
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.
| ܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܫܪܝܪܐ | 31 |
“If I testify about myself, my testimony isn’t valid.
| ܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܡܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܫܪܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܗ ܕܡܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ | 32 |
There is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that his testimony about me is valid.
| ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܕܪܬܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܤܗܕ ܥܠ ܫܪܪܐ | 33 |
You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
| ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܐ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܚܘܢ | 34 |
Not that I accept human testimony, but I tell you this so that you may be saved.
| ܗܘ ܫܪܓܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܕܠܩ ܘܡܢܗܪ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܨܒܝܬܘܢ ܕܬܫܬܒܗܪܘܢ ܕܫܥܬܐ ܒܢܘܗܪܗ | 35 |
John was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.
| ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܕܐܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܕܐܒܐ ܫܠܚܢܝ | 36 |
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.
| ܘܐܒܐ ܕܫܠܚܢܝ ܗܘ ܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ ܠܐ ܩܠܗ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܙܘܗ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ | 37 |
The Father Himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.
| ܘܡܠܬܗ ܠܐ ܡܩܘܝܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܗܘ ܕܗܘ ܫܕܪ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ | 38 |
You don’t have His words dwelling in you, because you don’t believe the One who He sent.
| ܒܨܘ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܡܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝ (aiōnios g166) | 39 |
You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life, and these testify about me. (aiōnios g166)
| ܘܠܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܐܬܘܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ | 40 |
Yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
| ܫܘܒܚܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܐ | 41 |
“I don’t accept glory from men,
| ܐܠܐ ܝܕܥܬܟܘܢ ܕܚܘܒܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ | 42 |
but I know you. I know that you don’t have God’s sincere love in you.
| ܐܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܘܠܐ ܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܘܐܢ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܢܐܬܐ ܒܫܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܗܘ ܬܩܒܠܘܢ | 43 |
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.
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܗܝܡܢܘ ܕܫܘܒܚܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܚܕ ܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܡܢ ܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ | 44 |
How can you believe when you accept glory from one another, and don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?
| ܠܡܐ ܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܟܠ ܐܢܐ ܩܪܨܝܟܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܒܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܩܪܨܝܟܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܤܒܪܬܘܢ | 45 |
“Don’t think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, who you have set your hope on.
| ܐܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܡܘܫܐ ܗܝܡܢܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܒܝ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܠܝ ܟܬܒ | 46 |
If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
| ܘܐܢ ܠܟܬܒܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܠܡܠܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ | 47 |
If you don’t believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
