Yohana 5

1 Ikype waa a hu gon wa, igan u Yahudawa a he, u Yesu alu hi ni Urushalima.

AFTER these things 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.

Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porticos.

3 Gbugbu ndji bi lilo, bi fyen, bi cbi, bi khwu kpa, ba gru ni maa.

In these lay a vast multitude of infirm persons, blind, lame, withered, waiting the motion 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 occasionally an angel descended into the pool, and put the water into commotion: he therefore who first stepped in after the commotion of the water became well, under whatever complaint he had laboured.

5 U ndji ri ahe kima wa'azi lo tie ise tra don tandra.

And there was a certain man there, who had a complaint of thirty years standing.

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?

Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound?

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 infirm man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to cast me into the pool: but when I am coming, another goeth down before me.

8 Yesu hla niwu, lunde, ban bubu kuru ni zren”

Jesus saith to him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 Hihari Igu fe si, na ban bubu kuru ma na hi kpama. Nivi u Asabar ma.

And instantly the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked away: and that day was the sabbath.

10 Yahudawa ba miyen Igu iwa ba chu lilo rju niwu, “Luwa a Asabar, ana bi ni ndu ban bubu kuru me na.”

The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

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 that made me whole, the same person said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 U ba miyen, Ahi nahn hla tre ki wu, ban ni lu zren?

Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, 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.

Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot.

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.”

After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.

15 Igu luhi na ka hla ni anabawa ba andi ahi Yesu mba a chu lilo rju ni wawu.

The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

16 Nitu ki, anabawa ba lu ni ti Yesu kyalala me nitu ti kpe ke ni vi u Asabar.

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day.

17 Yesu sa ni bawu, “Itei mu asi tie ndu ye zizan, Imeme mi tie ndu'a.”

Then Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

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.

Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality 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.

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son.

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.

For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may wonder.

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.

For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them; so also doth the Son quicken whom he pleases.

22 Itie chi idio-ri ban na, na ka chuban no vivren.

For the Father never judgeth any man, but hath 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.

in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour 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)

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is 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.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

26 Ni wa Itie a he ni viri ni wu a, ana ki me ano Ivren Iviri mi ma u tuma kima.

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also 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 hath given him authority also 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

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall 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 they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation.

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 am not able to perform any thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

31 Mi tie shaida ni tumu kimu, shaida na hi u njanji na.

If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

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 beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me.

33 Bika ton ba hi ni Yahaya, ani no shaida u njanji.

Ye sent to John, and he bore testimony 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.

But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe.

35 Yahaya a hi fitila u ri, u kpan me bika kpayenmen ni yo si sonron ni kpan mani ton zah me.

He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult 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.

But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath 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.

And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, 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.

And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

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)

Search the scriptures; for ye suppose in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)

40 bina yo sonron me u ye ni mena wa bi fe viri na.

And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

41 Mi na kpa gber san ni ndji na

I receive not glory from men.

42 Mi toh bina he ni son Rji ni mi idri mbi na.

But I know you, that ye have not the love of God 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 ye receive me not: if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.

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 ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from God alone?

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.

Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your hope.

46 Bina kpayenmen ni Musa, bina kpayenmen ni me, nitu wa a nhan me nitu mu.

For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write.

47 Bitana kpayenmen ni nhan ma na, bi ti ni he ba ni kpayenmen ni lan tre mu?

But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?
