Yohana 5

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

Afterward there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went 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, nigh the sheep gate, a bath, called, in Hebrew, Bethesda, which has five covered walks.

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

In these lay a great number of sick, blind, lame, and palsied people, 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 a messenger at times descended into the bath, and agitated the water; and the first that stepped in, after the agitation of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.)

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

Now, there was one there, who had been diseased 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?

Jesus, who saw him lying, and knew that he had been long ill, said to him, Do you desire to be healed?

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 diseased man answered, Sir, I have no person to put me into the bath, when the water is agitated; but while I am going, another gets down before me.

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

Jesus said to him, Arise, take up your couch and walk.

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

Instantly the man was healed, and took up his couch and walked.

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

Now, that day was the Sabbath. The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured, This is the Sabbath. It is now lawful for you to carry the couch.

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, He who healed me, said to me, Take up your couch and walk.

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

They asked him then, Who is the man that said to you, Take up your couch 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.

But he that had been healed, knew who it was; for Jesus had slipped away, there being a crowd in the 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.”

Jesus, afterward, finding him in the temple, said to him, Behold, you are cured; sin no more, lest something worse befall you.

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

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

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

Therefore, the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he had done this on the Sabbath.

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

But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now; I also 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.

For this reason the Jews were the more intent to kill him; because he had not only broken the Sabbath, but, by calling God his real Father, had equaled himself to 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 addressed them, saying, Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but as he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, such does 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 loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself does: nay, and will show him greater works than these, which will astonish you.

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 raises and quickens the dead, the Son also quickens whom he will:

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

for the Father judges no person, having committed the power of judging entirely 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 might honor the Son; as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not 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 say to you, he who hears my doctrine, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; and shall not suffer condemnation, having passed from death to 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 say to you, the time comes; or, rather, is come, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and hearing, they 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 has life in himself, so has 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 has given him even the judicial authority, because he is a Son of Man.

28 Na tie sisir na yi, iton ni ye iwa biwa ba he ni mebeh wawu ba wo lan tre ma

Wonder not at this: for the time comes when all that are in their 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 who have done good, shall arise to enjoy life; they who have done evil, shall arise to suffer punishment.

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 of myself; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not to please myself, but to please him who sent me.

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

If I alone testify concerning myself, my testimony is not to be regarded:

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 concerning me; and I know that his testimony of me ought to be regarded.

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

You, yourselves, sent to John, and he bore testimony of the truth.

34 Na kima, shaida iwa mi kpa ana shaida u indji na, mi hla biyi ni yiwu ni ndu jubu hi viri.

As for me, I need no human testimony; I can only urge this for your salvation.

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

He was the blazing and shining lamp; and for awhile, you were glad to enjoy 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 testimony than John's: for the works which the Father has empowered me to perform, the works themselves, which I do, testify for 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.

Nay, the Father, who sent me, has himself attested me. Did you never hear his voice, or see 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.

Or, have you forgotten his declaration, that you believe not him whom he has sent forth?

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 because you think to obtain by them eternal life. Now these, also, are witnesses for me; (aiōnios g166)

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

yet you will not come to me, that you may obtain life.

41 Mi na kpa gber san ni ndji na

I desire not honor from men;

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

but I know you, that you are strangers to the love of God.

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 you did not receive me; if another come, in his own name, you will receive 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, while you court honor one from another, regardless of the honor which comes 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 think that I am he who will accuse you to the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you confide.

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

For if you believed Moses, you would believe me: for he wrote concerning me.

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

But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?
