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 Festival 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 in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, called in Hebrew 'Bethesda.' It has five arcades.
3 Gbugbu ndji bi lilo, bi fyen, bi cbi, bi khwu kpa, ba gru ni maa.
In these there used to lie a great number of sick persons, and of people who were blind or lame or paralyzed.
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.
5 U ndji ri ahe kima wa'azi lo tie ise tra don tandra.
And there was one man there who had been an invalid for 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 saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long time in that condition, He asked him, "Do you wish to have health and strength?"
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.
"Sir," replied the sufferer, "I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is moved; but while I am coming some one else steps down before me."
8 Yesu hla niwu, lunde, ban bubu kuru ni zren”
"Rise," said Jesus, "take up your mat and walk."
9 Hihari Igu fe si, na ban bubu kuru ma na hi kpama. Nivi u Asabar ma.
Instantly the man was restored to perfect health, and he took up his mat and began to walk.
10 Yahudawa ba miyen Igu iwa ba chu lilo rju niwu, “Luwa a Asabar, ana bi ni ndu ban bubu kuru me na.”
That day was a Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath: you must not 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 who cured me," he replied, "said to me, 'Take up your mat and walk.'"
12 U ba miyen, Ahi nahn hla tre ki wu, ban ni lu zren?
"Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, '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.
But the man who had been cured did not know who it was; for Jesus had passed out unnoticed, 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.”
Afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him, "You are now restored to health. Do not sin any more, or a worse thing may 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 restored him to health;
16 Nitu ki, anabawa ba lu ni ti Yesu kyalala me nitu ti kpe ke ni vi u Asabar.
and on this account the Jews began to persecute Jesus--because He did these things on the Sabbath.
17 Yesu sa ni bawu, “Itei mu asi tie ndu ye zizan, Imeme mi tie ndu'a.”
His reply to their accusation was, "My Father works unceasingly, and so do I."
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.
On this account then the Jews were all the more eager to put Him to death--because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also spoke of God as being in a special sense His Father, thus putting Himself on a level 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.
"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that the Son can do nothing of Himself--He can only do what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, that the Son does in like manner.
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 reveals to Him all that He Himself is doing. And greater deeds than these will He reveal to Him, in order that you 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 just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.
22 Itie chi idio-ri ban na, na ka chuban no vivren.
The Father indeed does not judge any one, but He has entrusted all judgement 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 honour the Son even as they honour the Father. The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour from 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)
"In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out of 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.
"In most solemn truth I tell you that a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it 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 also 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 He has conferred on Him authority to act as Judge, 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
Wonder not at this. For a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice and will come forth--
29 na rju yei biwa ba tie ndindi ba lunde hi ni viri (re) biwa ba tie meme ba luhi ni fu ton (que).
they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection of judgement.
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 my own self do nothing. As I am bidden, so I judge; and mine is a just judgement, because it is not my own will that guides me, but the will of Him who sent me.
31 Mi tie shaida ni tumu kimu, shaida na hi u njanji na.
"If I give testimony concerning myself, my testimony cannot be accepted.
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 gives testimony concerning me, and I know that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me.
33 Bika ton ba hi ni Yahaya, ani no shaida u njanji.
"You sent to John, and he both was and still is a witness 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 the testimony on my behalf which I accept is not from man; though I say all this in order 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.
He was the lamp that burned and shone, and for a time you were willing to be gladdened by 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 the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to bring it to completion--the very work which I am doing--affords testimony concerning 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.
And the Father who sent me, He has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like.
38 Itra ana son ni yiwu ni mi dri bina, ni tu wa bi na kpayenmen ni Indji wa a ton Me yena.
Nor have you His word dwelling within you, for you refuse to believe Him whom He has 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, because you suppose that in them you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures that yield testimony concerning me; (aiōnios g166)
40 bina yo sonron me u ye ni mena wa bi fe viri na.
and yet you are unwilling to come to me that you may have Life.
41 Mi na kpa gber san ni ndji na
"I do not accept glory from man,
42 Mi toh bina he ni son Rji ni mi idri mbi na.
but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do not really love 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 have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you 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 is it possible for you to believe, while you receive glory from one another and have no desire for 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.
"Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom your hope rests.
46 Bina kpayenmen ni Musa, bina kpayenmen ni me, nitu wa a nhan me nitu mu.
For if you believe 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?
But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?"
