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.

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

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

In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, 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 at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

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

And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and 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 lie, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

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 impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

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

Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

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

And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same 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 unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: 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 said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

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

Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto 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.

And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.

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.”

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

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

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which 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 slay 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.”

But 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 the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his 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 answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son 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.

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

For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

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

For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto 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 [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath 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, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto 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, and now is, 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 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 to execute judgment also, 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 the which all that 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 shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto 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 can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath 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 that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

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

Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto 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 these things I say, that ye might be saved.

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 burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season 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.

But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, 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 himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

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 in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they 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 honour 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 am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall 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, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?

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 think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.

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

For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

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 shall ye believe my words?
