Yohana 5
1 Ikype waa a hu gon wa, igan u Yahudawa a he, u Yesu alu hi ni Urushalima.
After this, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Nimi Urushalima whie ni nkontra nt'ma u yii maa he kima wa ba yo ndi Baitasda ni lme Larabawa waa a he ni nkontra bi nzre.
Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem, there is a pool, which is called Bethesda in Hebrew. It’s surrounded by five covered colonnades.
3 Gbugbu ndji bi lilo, bi fyen, bi cbi, bi khwu kpa, ba gru ni maa.
In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water,
4 U maleku Bachi ata grji hi nda hi cu maa ni nton bari, u ndji wa a guci sa za ni maa ni nton wa maa si cu'a, ani fe don ni ko bi lilo riame wa ata lo'a.
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.
5 U ndji ri ahe kima wa'azi lo tie ise tra don tandra.
A certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
6 Wa Yesu a to ndi a kakru ni ki, u wa a kma toh ndi ndji a kru ni kii gbaa me nda hla niwu, “Wu son wu kpa sikpa?
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?”
7 Yonde Mallam, mina he ni dio rina iwa ani ban me yo ni mi takpo ma wa ba chuwu ana mita lu ndi mi ri hi ni mi u ndiri ka tie gbla ri Kuchi mu.
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.”
8 Yesu hla niwu, lunde, ban bubu kuru ni zren”
Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
9 Hihari Igu fe si, na ban bubu kuru ma na hi kpama. Nivi u Asabar ma.
Immediately, the man was made well, took up his mat, and walked. That was on the Sabbath day.
10 Yahudawa ba miyen Igu iwa ba chu lilo rju niwu, “Luwa a Asabar, ana bi ni ndu ban bubu kuru me na.”
Therefore the Jews were telling him who was cured, “It’s the Sabbath, and it isn’t legal for you to carry your mat.”
11 “I wa hla ni bawu ahi ndi wa a chu lilo rju ni mu'a, 'A tre ban bubu kuru me ni lu zren.'”
He answered them, “He who made me well told me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
12 U ba miyen, Ahi nahn hla tre ki wu, ban ni lu zren?
Then they asked him, “Who told you to ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
13 Wawu indji wa ba chu lili niwu'a, ana toh indji iwa a chu lilo rju ni wu na, Yesu lunde hi kpama ni yayinbi nitu jumbu indji gyen klan ki niki.
The man who had been healed didn’t know who it was, because Jesus had disappeared into the crowd.
14 Ni kogon niki, Yesu ka fe ni mi korji, na tre, toh mba, U fe si, nan lah tatre gan na, ni ndu meme ikperi iwa a lah zan iwayi ndu lah vu na.”
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.”
15 Igu luhi na ka hla ni anabawa ba andi ahi Yesu mba a chu lilo rju ni wawu.
The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Nitu ki, anabawa ba lu ni ti Yesu kyalala me nitu ti kpe ke ni vi u Asabar.
For this reason, the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17 Yesu sa ni bawu, “Itei mu asi tie ndu ye zizan, Imeme mi tie ndu'a.”
Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
18 Nitu ki, Yahudawa ndi ba wu'u ana nitu iwa a ka hu doka u Asabar, kan grjin na, ala yo Irji tie Itie ma, na ban tu ni zrazra ni Irji.
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.
19 Yesu ka sa ni bawu, “A njanji, anjanji, Ivren na ya tie ni ngrji ma na, se a toh Itie bubu tie, ikpe iwa Itie ni tie ivren anki me ivren ni tie.
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.
20 Niwa Itie'a ani son Ivren na zro ko ge wawu'u wandi ani tie, ani zro igbi bi rigran ma iwa ba zan wa yi'a ni ndu yi tie sisir.
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.
21 Na iwa itie ta bi que shimen na no re iviri ana ki me Ivren ani no iviri ni ko nhan iwa ani son'a.
As the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whoever He wishes.
22 Itie chi idio-ri ban na, na ka chuban no vivren.
The Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,
23 Ni ndu indi wawu ndu ba ni funtu ina iwa ba toh Itie'a ni funtu'a me. Indji wa ana toh Ivren ni funtu na ana toh Itie me ni funtu na iwa ton ye na.
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.
24 A njanji, anjanji, Indji wa a wo tre mu'a na kpa yenme ni Indji wa a ton me ye'a ahe ni viri hi ni tuntur kuma ana tie meme na ani vuque yaba hi ni viri. (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)
25 A njani, a njanji, mi hla ni yiwu iton ni ye, har me a yeye iwa ik'bon me ba ba wo lan tra Ivren Irji, bi wa ba wo ba nawo.
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.
26 Ni wa Itie a he ni viri ni wu a, ana ki me ano Ivren Iviri mi ma u tuma kima.
For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,
27 Itie a no Ivren son, tuma i wa ani ya ga tre (chu ban), nitu ahi wawuyi a Vren Ndji.
and has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
28 Na tie sisir na yi, iton ni ye iwa biwa ba he ni mebeh wawu ba wo lan tre ma
Don’t marvel at this, for the time is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
29 na rju yei biwa ba tie ndindi ba lunde hi ni viri (re) biwa ba tie meme ba luhi ni fu ton (que).
and come out — those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
30 Mi na ya tie kperi ni tu muna. Na wa mi wo'a, ana ki mi futon, futon mu a u adalci, ana ni son u tumu na, a tu Indji iwa a ton ye.
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.
31 Mi tie shaida ni tumu kimu, shaida na hi u njanji na.
“If I testify about myself, my testimony isn’t valid.
32 indji ri he iwa asi no shaida ni tumu, mi toh shaida iwa asi no ni tumu, ahi shaida u njanji.
There is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that his testimony about me is valid.
33 Bika ton ba hi ni Yahaya, ani no shaida u njanji.
You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 Na kima, shaida iwa mi kpa ana shaida u indji na, mi hla biyi ni yiwu ni ndu jubu hi viri.
Not that I accept human testimony, but I tell you this so that you may be saved.
35 Yahaya a hi fitila u ri, u kpan me bika kpayenmen ni yo si sonron ni kpan mani ton zah me.
John was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.
36 U shaida wa mi he niwu a zan u Yahaya ni gbengbenle ni ndu wa Itie ni ndi mi tie'a, wato jiji bibiri indu bi wa mi si tie, biki ba si shaida mu andi, ahi Itie a ton me.
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.
37 Itie wa a ton me, wawu ui a shaida me. Bina tie bre wo lan toh ni na toh a he ni he nako quen ri.
The Father Himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.
38 Itra ana son ni yiwu ni mi dri bina, ni tu wa bi na kpayenmen ni Indji wa a ton Me yena.
You don’t have His words dwelling in you, because you don’t believe the One who He sent.
39 Biki kra viwu bla tra Rji ni ya bi ndi niki bi fe iviri u son tuntur, iwawu vuvu kima a shaida ni me, (aiōnios g166)
You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life, and these testify about me. (aiōnios g166)
40 bina yo sonron me u ye ni mena wa bi fe viri na.
Yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
41 Mi na kpa gber san ni ndji na
“I don’t accept glory from men,
42 Mi toh bina he ni son Rji ni mi idri mbi na.
but I know you. I know that you don’t have God’s sincere love in you.
43 Mi ye ni mi nde Itie Mu, u bina kpa Me na. U to iri ni ta lu ye ni mi nde ma, bi kpa wu.
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.
44 A ni he mba bi kpa yenmen ni yo sonron, biyi wa bi kpa gber san ni kpa mbi, ni na kpa yenmen ni wa gber san iwa a rji ni Irji na?
How can you believe when you accept glory from one another, and don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 Na yo imeren ni sonron mbi andi Mi tre yi koshishi na. Indji wa a tre yi a Musa, iwa bi yo sonron mbi niwu.
“Don’t think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, who you have set your hope on.
46 Bina kpayenmen ni Musa, bina kpayenmen ni me, nitu wa a nhan me nitu mu.
If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
47 Bitana kpayenmen ni nhan ma na, bi ti ni he ba ni kpayenmen ni lan tre mu?
If you don’t believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
