Yohana 5
1 Payamasile yeleyo, Che Yesu ŵakwesile kwaula ku Yelusalemu ku chindimba cha Ŵayahudi,
Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Ni ku Yelusalemu ko, pachiŵandi nnango wekulungwa waukuŵilanjikwa nnango wa ngondolo, kwaliji ni litanda lyalikuŵilanjikwa Mchiebulania Betisasa lyalili ni mapenu nsano.
Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.
3 Ŵakulwala ŵajinji ŵagonaga mmapenu mo, kwaliji ni ŵangalola ni ŵakulemala ni ŵakutatala.
On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.
4 Ŵalolelaga meesi gatinganyikwe, pakuŵa kapali katema katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵatuluchilaga mmeesi ni kugatinganya. Jwakulwala jwalijose juŵaliji jwaandanda kwinjila mmeesi gagatinganyikwe, ŵalamile ulwele uliwose walinawo.
5 Pelepo paliji ni mundu jumo juŵatatele yaka makumi gatatu kupambula nsano ni itatu.
One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6 Che Yesu paŵambweni mundu jula ali agonile pepala ni kwimanyilila kuti ali jwakulwala moŵa gamajinji, ŵambusisye, “Ana nkusaka kulama?”
When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7 Jwakulwala jo ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, uneji nganingola jwakunyinjisya mu litanda katema meesi pagakutinganyikwa. Pingulinga kwinjila, mundu jwine akuunongolela kwinjila.”
“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.”
8 Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njimuche, njigale ugono wenu njaule.”
Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
9 Papopo pepo mundu jo ŵalamile, ŵajigele ugono wakwe ni kwaula. Yeleyo yatendekwe pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.
Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,
10 Nipele achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵansalile mundu jwalamile jo, “Lelo jino lili Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ni malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa gakukanya kunyakula ugono wenu.”
so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”
11 Nambo mundu jo ŵaajanjile ŵanyawo, “Mundu jwanamisye jula andanjile, ‘Njigale ugono wenu, njaule.’”
But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12 Ŵanyawo ŵambusisye, “Ana ŵaani ansalile njigale ugono wenu njaule?”
“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.
13 Nambo mundu juŵalamiswe jula nganammanyilila Che Yesu kuti ali ŵaani, pakuŵa pepala paliji ni mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu ni Che Yesu ŵatyosile pepala.
But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.
14 Kanyuma Che Yesu ŵansimene mundu juŵannamisye jula pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ni ŵansalile, “Mpilikane sambano nnamile, kasintenda sooni sambi, chinaiche kunsimana chindu chakusakala kupunda achichi.”
Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”
15 Mundu jula ŵajawile kukwasalila achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi kuti Che Yesu ni juŵalamisye.
And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Pakuŵa Che Yesu ŵatendekenye yeleyo pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila, Ŵayahudi ŵatandite kunchima.
Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.
17 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Atati ŵangu akupanganya masengo moŵa gose ni uneji ngugapanganya iyoyo peyo.”
But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”
18 Kwa ligongo lyo, achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵapundile kusosasosa litala lyakwaulaga Che Yesu ngaŵa ligongo lyakutema malajisyo ga Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila pe, nambo pakuŵa alitesile kuti Akunnungu ali Atatigwe ni kulitenda chisau ni Akunnungu.
Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
19 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ngunsalila isyene, Mwana ngakukombola kupanganya chachilichose jikape. Mwana akukombola kupanganya achilape chakuchiwona alinkupanganya Atati. Pakuŵa achila chaakuchipanganya Atati Mwana nombejo akupanganya ilaila peila.
So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.
20 Atati akunnonyela Mwana ni kunlosya indu yose yakupanganya nsyene. Sooni chiŵalosye indu yekulungwa kupunda ayiyi, ni ŵanyamwe chinsimonje.
The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.
21 Mpela ila Atati iyakuti pakwasyusya ŵawile ni kwapa umi, iyoyo peyo ni Mwana akwapa umi aŵala ŵakwasaka.
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
22 Atati ngakunlamula mundu jwalijose, nambo ampele Mwanagwe ukombole wose wakwalamula ŵandu,
Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
23 kuti ŵandu wose anchimbichisye Mwana mpela yakuti pakwachimbichisya Atati. Mundu jwalijose jwangakunchimbichisya Mwana ngakunchimbichisya Atati juŵantumile.”
so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
24 “Ngunsalila isyene, jwakulipikanila liloŵe lyangu ni kwakulupilila ŵandumile une ŵala, jwelejo akwete umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Nombejo ngaalamulikwa ng'oo, pakuŵa amasile kukopoka muchiwa ni kwinjila mu umi. (aiōnios g166)
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Ngunsalila isyene, chikaiche katema ni sambano kaiche chanti ŵandu ŵawile chalipilikane liloŵe lya Mwana jwa Akunnungu nombe ŵandu ŵachalipilikane wo chakole umi.
Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
26 Mpela ila Atati yatite kuŵa ndande ja umi, iyoyo peyo ampele Mwana kuŵa ndande ja umi.
For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
27 Sooni ampele Mwana ukombole wa kulamula ligongo jwelejo ali Mwana jwa Mundu.
And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
28 Nkachisimonga achichi pakuŵa chikaiche katema chati ŵandu wose ŵaali kumalembe chalipilikane liloŵe lyao,
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice
29 nombe chasyuche, aŵala ŵaŵatendekenye yambone chasyuche ni kupata umi ni aŵala ŵaŵatendekenye yangalumbana chasyuche ni kulamulikwa.”
and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
30 “Uneji jikape ngangukombola kuchitendekanya chindu kwa ukombole wangu nansyene. Ngulamula mpela inguti pakupilikana kutyochela kwa Atati, ni kulamula kwangu kuli kwa usyene pakuŵa ngangupanganya ingusaka nansyene, nambo yambone paujo pao ŵandumile une ŵala.
I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
31 “Naliŵalangaga nansyene umboni wangu uli wa unami.
If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
32 Nambo apali jwine jwakusala umboni pa une, noneji ngumanyilila kuti yose yakusala nkati uneji ili isyene.
There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
33 Ŵanyamwe mwalajisye ŵantenga ku che Yohana Ŵakubatisya, ni umboni wasasile nkati une uli usyene.
You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 Ngaŵa kuti uneji nguukulupilila umboni wa ŵandu, nambo ngusala yelei kuti ŵanyamwe nkulupuswe.
Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
35 Che Yohana ŵaliji mpela lumuli lulwakolelaga ni kulanguchisya, ni ŵanyamwe mwaliji chile kusengwa ni lilanguka lyakwe kwa katema pe.
John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
36 Nambo uneji ngwete umboni kukwangu wauli wekulungwa kupunda u che Yohana. Pakuŵa masengo gingugapanganya gaambele Atati malichisye ni gagakulosya pangasisika kuti Atati ni ŵandumile.
But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
37 Atati uŵandumile, iyoyo akusala umboni nkati une. Ŵanyamwe nganimme kulipilikana liloŵe lyao atamuno kukulola ku meeso kwao,
And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
38 ni liloŵe lyao ngalikutama nkati mwenu, pakuŵa nganimunkulupilila ajula juŵamtumile.
nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
39 Nkugasosasosa Malembelo ga Akunnungu nchiganisyaga kuti mu gelego chimpate umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Ni Malembelo ga Akunnungu go gakuŵalanga umboni nkati une! (aiōnios g166)
You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me, (aiōnios g166)
40 Ni ŵanyamwe ngankusaka kwika kukwangu kuti nkole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
41 “Ngangusosa kuchimbichikwa ni ŵandu.
I do not accept glory from men,
42 Nambo ngummanyilila ŵanyamwe kuti nganinkola unonyelo wa Akunnungu mmitima jenu.
but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
43 Uneji iiche kwa ulamusi wa Atati ŵangu, ni ŵanyamwe nganimungulupilila. Aikaga mundu jwine kwa ulamusi wakwe nsyene, chimunkulupilile.
I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44 Ana chinkombole chinauli kungulupilila iŵaga ŵanyamwe nkusaka kulapikwa kutyochela kwa achinjenu nambo nkukana kulapikwa kwakukutyochela kwa Akunnungu ŵaali jikape?
How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 Nkaganisyaga kuti uneji chinambechetele kwa Atati. Che Musa junkunlolela ŵanyamwe ni juchambechetele kwa Atati.
Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
46 Nkankulupilile che Musa nkaangulupilile ni une ŵakwe pakuŵa che Musa ŵalembile ngani syangu.
If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
47 Nambo iŵaga ngankugakulupilila gaŵagalembile che Musa gala, sano chinkombole chinauli kugakulupilila ginguŵecheta?”
But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
