Yohana 5
1 Payamasile yeleyo, Che Yesu ŵakwesile kwaula ku Yelusalemu ku chindimba cha Ŵayahudi,
After these things 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 in Jerusalem near the sheep-market there is a public bath which in Hebrew is named Beth-zatha. It has five doorways.
3 Ŵakulwala ŵajinji ŵagonaga mmapenu mo, kwaliji ni ŵangalola ni ŵakulemala ni ŵakutatala.
In these doorways there were a great number of people with different diseases: some unable to see, some without the power of walking, some with wasted bodies.
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 was there who had been ill 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 there on the floor it was clear to him that he had been now a long time in that condition, and so he said to the man, Is it your desire to get well?
7 Jwakulwala jo ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, uneji nganingola jwakunyinjisya mu litanda katema meesi pagakutinganyikwa. Pingulinga kwinjila, mundu jwine akuunongolela kwinjila.”
The ill man said in answer, Sir, I have nobody to put me into the bath when the water is moving; and while I am on the way down some other person gets in before me.
8 Nipele Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Njimuche, njigale ugono wenu njaule.”
Jesus said to him, Get up, take your bed and go.
9 Papopo pepo mundu jo ŵalamile, ŵajigele ugono wakwe ni kwaula. Yeleyo yatendekwe pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.
And the man became well straight away, and took up his bed and went. Now that day was the Sabbath.
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 made well, It is the Sabbath; and it is against the law for you to take up your bed.
11 Nambo mundu jo ŵaajanjile ŵanyawo, “Mundu jwanamisye jula andanjile, ‘Njigale ugono wenu, njaule.’”
He said to them, But he who made me well, said to me, Take up your bed and go.
12 Ŵanyawo ŵambusisye, “Ana ŵaani ansalile njigale ugono wenu njaule?”
Then they put to him the question: Who is the man who said to you, Take it up and go?
13 Nambo mundu juŵalamiswe jula nganammanyilila Che Yesu kuti ali ŵaani, pakuŵa pepala paliji ni mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu ni Che Yesu ŵatyosile pepala.
Now he who had been made well had no knowledge who it was, Jesus having gone away because of the number of people who were in that place.
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.”
After a time Jesus came across him in the Temple and said to him, See, you are well and strong; do no more sin for fear a worse thing comes to you.
15 Mundu jula ŵajawile kukwasalila achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi kuti Che Yesu ni juŵalamisye.
The man went away and said to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Pakuŵa Che Yesu ŵatendekenye yeleyo pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila, Ŵayahudi ŵatandite kunchima.
And for this reason the Jews were turned against Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Atati ŵangu akupanganya masengo moŵa gose ni uneji ngugapanganya iyoyo peyo.”
But his answer was: My Father is still working even now, and so I 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.
For this cause the Jews had an even greater desire to put Jesus to death, because not only did he not keep the Sabbath but he said God was his Father, so 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 made answer and said, Truly I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything himself; he is able to do only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does the Son does it in the same way.
20 Atati akunnonyela Mwana ni kunlosya indu yose yakupanganya nsyene. Sooni chiŵalosye indu yekulungwa kupunda ayiyi, ni ŵanyamwe chinsimonje.
For the Father has love for the Son and lets him see everything which he does: and he will let him see greater works than these so that you may be full of wonder.
21 Mpela ila Atati iyakuti pakwasyusya ŵawile ni kwapa umi, iyoyo peyo ni Mwana akwapa umi aŵala ŵakwasaka.
In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.
22 Atati ngakunlamula mundu jwalijose, nambo ampele Mwanagwe ukombole wose wakwalamula ŵandu,
The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son;
23 kuti ŵandu wose anchimbichisye Mwana mpela yakuti pakwachimbichisya Atati. Mundu jwalijose jwangakunchimbichisya Mwana ngakunchimbichisya Atati juŵantumile.”
So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to 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 I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into 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 I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.
26 Mpela ila Atati yatite kuŵa ndande ja umi, iyoyo peyo ampele Mwana kuŵa ndande ja umi.
For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to 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 be judge because he is the Son of man.
28 Nkachisimonga achichi pakuŵa chikaiche katema chati ŵandu wose ŵaali kumalembe chalipilikane liloŵe lyao,
Do not be surprised at this: for the time is coming when his voice will come to all who are in the place of the dead,
29 nombe chasyuche, aŵala ŵaŵatendekenye yambone chasyuche ni kupata umi ni aŵala ŵaŵatendekenye yangalumbana chasyuche ni kulamulikwa.”
And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged.
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.
Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.
31 “Naliŵalangaga nansyene umboni wangu uli wa unami.
If I gave witness about myself, my witness would not be true.
32 Nambo apali jwine jwakusala umboni pa une, noneji ngumanyilila kuti yose yakusala nkati uneji ili isyene.
There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true.
33 Ŵanyamwe mwalajisye ŵantenga ku che Yohana Ŵakubatisya, ni umboni wasasile nkati une uli usyene.
You sent to John and he gave true witness.
34 Ngaŵa kuti uneji nguukulupilila umboni wa ŵandu, nambo ngusala yelei kuti ŵanyamwe nkulupuswe.
But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.
35 Che Yohana ŵaliji mpela lumuli lulwakolelaga ni kulanguchisya, ni ŵanyamwe mwaliji chile kusengwa ni lilanguka lyakwe kwa katema pe.
He was a burning and shining light, and for a time you were ready to be happy 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 the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness 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 himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.
38 ni liloŵe lyao ngalikutama nkati mwenu, pakuŵa nganimunkulupilila ajula juŵamtumile.
And you have not kept his word in your hearts, because you have not faith in him whom he has 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 make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me. (aiōnios g166)
40 Ni ŵanyamwe ngankusaka kwika kukwangu kuti nkole umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
And still you have no desire to come to me so that you may have life.
41 “Ngangusosa kuchimbichikwa ni ŵandu.
I do not take honour from men;
42 Nambo ngummanyilila ŵanyamwe kuti nganinkola unonyelo wa Akunnungu mmitima jenu.
But I have knowledge of you that you have no love for God in your hearts.
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 your hearts are not open to me. If another comes with no other authority but himself, you will give him your approval.
44 Ana chinkombole chinauli kungulupilila iŵaga ŵanyamwe nkusaka kulapikwa kutyochela kwa achinjenu nambo nkukana kulapikwa kwakukutyochela kwa Akunnungu ŵaali jikape?
How is it possible for you to have faith while you take honour one from another and have no desire for the honour which comes from the only God?
45 Nkaganisyaga kuti uneji chinambechetele kwa Atati. Che Musa junkunlolela ŵanyamwe ni juchambechetele kwa Atati.
Put out of your minds the thought that I will say things against you to the Father: the one who says things against you is Moses, on whom you put your hopes.
46 Nkankulupilile che Musa nkaangulupilile ni une ŵakwe pakuŵa che Musa ŵalembile ngani syangu.
If you had belief in Moses you would have belief in me; for his writings are about me.
47 Nambo iŵaga ngankugakulupilila gaŵagalembile che Musa gala, sano chinkombole chinauli kugakulupilila ginguŵecheta?”
If you have no belief in his writings, how will you have belief in my words?
