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.

And there was there in Jerusalem a certain place of baptizing, which was called in Hebrew Bethesda; and there were in it five porches.

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

And in them were laid a great multitude of the sick, and the blind, and the lame, and the withered, waiting for the moving of the waters.

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, from time to time, descended into the baptistery, and moved the waters; and he who first went in, after the moving of the waters, was cured of whatever disease he had.

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

And a certain man was there, who had been diseased 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?

Jesus saw him lying, and knew that his disease had been a long time upon him, and said to him: Desirest thou 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.

And the sick man answered and said: Yes, my lord; but I have no one who, when the water is moved, will put me into the baptistery; but while I am coming, another descendeth before me.

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

Jesus said 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 immediately the man was healed; and he arose, took up his bed, and walked; and it was 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.”

And the Jews said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to bear 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.'”

But he answered, and said to them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed and walk.

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

And 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.

But the man that was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus had slid away, in the great multitude that was 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.”

After a time, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Lo, thou art healed; sin not again, lest something worse come upon thee than before.

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

And 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.

And for this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him; because he had done these things on the sabbath.

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

But Jesus said to them: My Father worketh until now, 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.

And for this, the Jews sought the more to kill him, not only because he had broken the sabbath, but because he had said of God, that he was his Father, and had equalled himself 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.

And Jesus answered, and said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you: The Son can do nothing, of his own pleasure, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things the Father doeth, these in like manner doeth 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 his Son, and showeth him every thing he doeth: and greater works than these, will he show 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 vivifieth them; so also the Son vivifieth whom he pleaseth.

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

For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath given 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 every man may honor the Son, as he honoreth the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father that 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 to you, That he who heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath life eternal, and will not come into condemnation, but hath 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.

Verily, verily, I say to you, That the hour cometh, and even now come, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that 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, 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 moreover given him authority to execute judgment. But that 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

wonder not at this; for the hour cometh when all that are in their 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 will come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life, and they that 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 of my own pleasure; but as I hear, so I judge. And my judgment is just; for I seek not my own pleasure, but the pleasure of him that sent me.

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

If I should bear testimony respecting myself, my testimony would not be 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 that beareth testimony concerning me; and I know that the testimony which he beareth concerning me is true.

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

Ye sent unto 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.

And I have not received testimony from men: but these things I say, that ye may live.

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 shining lamp; and ye were willing for a time, to glory 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, which is greater than that of John; for the works which my Father hath given me to accomplish, these works which I do, testify 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, he testifieth of me. Ye have not at any time heard his voice, nor have ye seen his visage.

38 Itra ana son ni yiwu ni mi dri bina, ni tu wa bi na kpayenmen ni Indji wa a ton Me yena.

And his word abideth not in you, because ye believe not in him whom he hath 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)

Search the scriptures; for in them, ye think, there is life eternal for you; and they testify of me. (aiōnios g166)

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

And ye are unwilling to come to me, that life eternal may be yours.

41 Mi na kpa gber san ni ndji na

I do not receive glory from men.

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

But I know you, that the love of God is not 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 came in the name of my Father, 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, who receive glory from one another, and seek not the glory which 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 ye suppose, that I shall accuse you before the Father? There is one that will accuse you, that Moses, on whom ye rely.

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

For, if ye believed Moses, ye would also believe me; for Moses wrote concerning 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 will ye believe my words?
