Yohane 5
1 Patapita nthawi Yesu anakwera kupita ku Yerusalemu ku phwando la Ayuda.
After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Ndipo ku Yerusalemuko pafupi ndi chipata cha Nkhosa kuli dziwe limene mʼChihebri limatchedwa Betisaida ndipo ndi lozunguliridwa ndi makumbi asanu.
Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.
3 Mʼmenemo munkagonamo gulu lalikulu la anthu odwala, osaona, olumala ndi ofa ziwalo.
In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
4 Pakuti nthawi zina mngelo wa Ambuye ankatsikira mʼdziwemo nʼkuvundula madziwo. Woyamba kulowamo madzi atavundulidwa, ankachira ngakhale akhale ndi nthenda yanji.
for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.
5 Mmodzi wa amene anali pamenepo anali atadwala zaka 38.
A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6 Yesu atamuona ali chigonere, nadziwa kuti anakhala chotero kwa nthawi yayitali, anamufunsa iye kuti, “Kodi ukufuna kuchira?”
When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”
7 Wodwalayo anayankha kuti, “Ambuye, ndilibe wina aliyense woti angandithandize kulowa mʼdziwe pamene madzi avundulidwa. Pamene ndikuyesera kuti ndilowemo, wina amalowamo ine ndisanalowemo.”
The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”
8 Ndipo Yesu anati kwa iye, “Imirira! Nyamula mphasa yako yamba kuyenda.”
Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
9 Nthawi yomweyo munthuyo anachiritsidwa. Iye ananyamula mphasa yake nayamba kuyenda. Tsiku limene izi zinachitika linali la Sabata.
Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
10 Ndipo Ayuda anati kwa munthu amene anachiritsidwayo, “Lero ndi la Sabata; lamulo silikulola iwe kunyamula mphasa yako.”
So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
11 Koma iye anayankha kuti, “Munthu amene wandichiritsa anati kwa ine, ‘Nyamula mphasa yako yamba kuyenda.’”
He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
12 Pamenepo anamufunsa iye kuti, “Kodi munthu ameneyo ndani amene wakuwuza kuti, ‘Nyamula mphasa yako ndipo yenda?’”
Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
13 Munthu amene anachiritsidwayo sanadziwe kuti anali ndani, pakuti Yesu anangolowera mʼgulu la anthu ndi kupita.
But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
14 Patapita nthawi Yesu anamupeza ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo anati kwa iye, “Taona uli bwino tsopano. Usakachimwenso kuti choyipa choposa ichi chingakugwere.”
Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”
15 Munthu uja anachoka ndi kukawawuza Ayuda kuti anali Yesu amene anamuchiritsa iye.
The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Ndipo popeza Yesu amachita zinthu izi tsiku la Sabata, Ayuda anayamba kumulondalonda.
For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
17 Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Atate anga amagwira ntchito nthawi zonse mpaka lero lino, ndipo Inenso ndili pa ntchito.”
But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
18 Chifukwa cha ichi Ayuda anawirikiza kufuna kumupha; osati chifukwa chakuswa Sabata kokha komanso chifukwa ankanena kuti Mulungu ndi Atate ake, nadziyesa Iye wofanana ndi Mulungu.
For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Yesu anawapatsa yankho ili: “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti Mwana sangathe kuchita kanthu pa Iye yekha. Iye amachita zokhazo zimene amaona Atate ake akuchita, chifukwa chilichonse chimene Atate amachita Mwana amachitanso.
Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
20 Pakuti Atate amakonda Mwana, amamuonetsa zonse zimene Iwo amachita. Inde, Atate adzamuonetsa zinthu zazikulu kuposa zimenezi ndipo mudzadabwa.
For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21 Pakuti monga Atate amaukitsa akufa nawapatsa moyo, momwemonso Mwana amapereka moyo kwa amene Iye akufuna.
For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
22 Komanso, Atate saweruza aliyense koma wapereka kwa Mwana ulamuliro woweruzawo,
For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
23 kuti aliyense alemekeze Mwanayo monga momwe amalemekezera Atate. Munthu amene salemekeza Mwana salemekezanso Atate amene anamutuma Mwanayo.
that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.
24 “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti aliyense amene amamva mawu anga ndi kukhulupirira Iye amene ananditumiza Ine, ali ndi moyo wosatha ndipo sadzaweruzidwa. Iye wachoka mu imfa ndipo walowa mʼmoyo. (aiōnios g166)
“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti nthawi ikubwera ndipo yafika kale tsopano, pamene akufa adzamva mawu a Mwana wa Mulungu ndipo iwo amene amva adzakhala ndi moyo.
Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live.
26 Pakuti monga Atate ali gwero la moyo, momwemonso anapereka mphamvu zopereka moyo mwa Mwana.
For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
27 Ndipo wamupatsa Iye ulamuliro woweruza chifukwa ndi Mwana wa Munthu.
He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
28 “Musadabwe ndi zimenezi. Pakuti nthawi ikubwera pamene onse amene ali mʼmanda adzamva mawu ake
Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
29 ndi kutuluka. Iwo amene anachita zabwino adzauka ndi kupita ku moyo wosatha ndipo amene anachita zoyipa adzauka ndi kupita ku chilango chamuyaya.
and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
30 Pakuti sindingathe kuchita kena kalikonse pa ndekha. Ine ndimaweruza molingana ndi zomwe Mulungu wandiwuza ndipo kuweruza kwanga ndi kolungama. Ine sindifuna kudzikondweretsa ndekha koma Iye amene anandituma.
I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
31 “Ngati ndidzichitira umboni ndekha, umboni wanga si woona.
“If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32 Alipo wina amene amandichitira umboni wabwino. Ine ndikudziwa kuti umboni wake wonena za Ine ndi woona.
It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
33 “Inu munatumiza amithenga kwa Yohane ndipo iye anachitira umboni choona.
You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 Sikuti Ine ndikudalira umboni wa munthu; koma ndikunena zimenezi kuti mupulumutsidwe.
But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
35 Yohane anali ngati nyale imene imayaka ndi kuwala, ndipo inu kwa kanthawi munasankha kusangalala ndi kuwala kwakeko.
He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
36 “Koma Ine ndili ndi umboni woposa uja wa Yohane. Pakuti ntchito imene Atate andipatsa kuti ndiyikwaniritse ndi imene ndikugwira, ndipo ikundichitira umboni kuti Atate andituma Ine.
But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
37 Ndipo Atate amene anandituma Ine, Iye mwini wandichitira umboni. Inu simunamvepo mawu ake kapena kuona maonekedwe ake,
The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
38 kapena mawu ake kukhala mwa inu, pakuti simukhulupirira Iye amene anamutuma.
You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.
39 Inu mumasanthula malemba chifukwa mumaganiza kuti mʼmalembamo muli moyo wosatha. Awa ndi malemba amene akundichitira umboni. (aiōnios g166)
“You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. (aiōnios g166)
40 Koma inu mukukana kubwera kwa Ine kuti mukhale ndi moyo.
Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
41 “Ine sindilandira ulemu kuchokera kwa anthu
I don’t receive glory from men.
42 koma Ine ndikukudziwani. Ndikudziwa kuti mʼmitima mwanu mulibe chikondi cha Mulungu.
But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.
43 Ine ndabwera mʼdzina la Atate anga, ndipo inu simukundirandira Ine; koma wina wake akabwera mʼdzina la iye mwini, inu mudzamulandira.
I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44 Kodi inu mudzakhulupirira bwanji ngati mumapatsana ulemu wina ndi mnzake, ndipo simufuna kulandira ulemu kuchokera kwa Mulungu yekhayo?
How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 “Koma inu musaganize kuti Ine ndidzakunenezani kwa Atate. Wokunenezani ndi Mose, amene inu mwayikapo chiyembekezo chanu.
“Don’t think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
46 Ngati mukanakhulupirira Mose, mukanakhulupiriranso Ine, pakuti iye analemba za Ine.
For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47 Koma ngati simukhulupirira zimene iye analemba, mudzakhulupirira bwanji zimene Ine ndikunena?”
But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
