Ivan 5
1 Nakon toga bijaše židovski blagdan pa Isus uziđe u Jeruzalem.
Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem when the Jews were having [another] celebration.
2 U Jeruzalemu se kod Ovčjih vrata nalazi kupalište koje se hebrejski zove Bethzatha, a ima pet trijemova.
At one of the gates [into the city] called the Sheep Gate, there is a pool. In our language we call it Bethzatha. [Around the pool] were five open areas with roofs over them.
3 U njima je ležalo mnoštvo bolesnika - slijepih, hromih, uzetih: čekali su da izbije voda.
Many people were lying there. They were people who were blind, lame, or paralyzed.
4 Anđeo bi Gospodnji, naime, silazio od vremena do vremena u ribnjak i pokrenuo vodu: tko bi prvi ušao pošto je voda izbila, ozdravio bi makar bolovao od bilo kakve bolesti.
5 Bijaše ondje neki čovjek koji je trpio od svoje bolesti trideset i osam godina.
One of those who was there had been paralyzed for 38 years.
6 Kad ga Isus opazi gdje leži i kada dozna da je već dugo u tome stanju, kaže mu: “Želiš li ozdraviti?”
Jesus saw him lying there and found out that the man had been like that for a long time. He said to the man, “Do you want to become well?”
7 Odgovori mu bolesnik: “Gospodine, nikoga nemam tko bi me uronio u kupalište kad se voda uzbiba. Dok ja stignem, drugi već prije mene siđe.”
The paralyzed man replied to him, “[Yes], sir, [I want to get well, but] there is no one to help me get down into the pool when the water is stirred {stirs}. While I am trying to get [to the pool], someone else always gets there before me.”
8 Kaže mu Isus: “Ustani, uzmi svoju postelju i hodi!”
Jesus said to him, “Get up! Then pick up your mat and walk!”
9 Čovjek odmah ozdravi, uzme svoju postelju i prohoda. Toga dana bijaše subota.
The man immediately was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking! The day on which this happened was a Jewish day of rest.
10 Židovi su stoga govorili ozdravljenomu: “Subota je! Ne smiješ nositi postelju svoju!”
So the Jewish [leaders] said to the man who had been healed, “Today is (the Sabbath/our rest day), and [in our Jewish] laws [it is written that people should not work on our] ([Sabbath/rest day]), so you should not be carrying your mat!”
11 On im odvrati: “Onaj koji me ozdravi reče mi: 'Uzmi svoju postelju i hodi!'”
The man replied to them, “The man who healed me, he himself said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk!’”
12 Upitaše ga dakle: “Tko je taj čovjek koji ti je rekao: 'Uzmi i hodi?'”
They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick it up and walk!’?”
13 No ozdravljenik nije znao tko je taj jer je Isus nestao u mnoštvu što se ondje nalazilo.
But since Jesus had disappeared in the crowd [without telling the man his name], the man did not know who it was [who had healed him].
14 Nakon toga nađe ga Isus u Hramu i reče mu: “Eto, ozdravio si! Više ne griješi da te što gore ne snađe!”
Later, Jesus found the man in the Temple [courtyard]. He [told the man his name, and] said to him, “Listen! You are healed! So stop sinning! If you do not stop sinning, something will happen to you that will be worse [than the illness you had before]!”
15 Čovjek ode i javi Židovima da je Isus onaj koji ga je ozdravio.
The man went away and told the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] that it was Jesus who had healed him.
16 Zbog toga su Židovi počeli Isusa napadati što to radi subotom.
So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] started to harass Jesus, because Jesus was doing these things (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day).
17 Isus im odgovori: “Otac moj sve do sada radi pa i ja radim.”
Then Jesus replied to them, “My Father has always been working every day, [including] ([the Sabbath/the day of rest]), up until now. I am doing the same thing!”
18 Zbog toga su Židovi još više gledali da ga ubiju jer je ne samo kršio subotu nego i Boga nazivao Ocem svojim izjednačujući sebe s Bogom.
The Jewish leaders [SYN] considered that he was disobeying their rules about (the Sabbath/the day of rest), and that by saying that God was his Father, he was making himself equal with God. And they considered that both these things were grounds for killing him. So they tried even harder to find a way to kill him.
19 Isus nato odvrati: “Zaista, zaista, kažem vam: Sin ne može sam od sebe činiti ništa, doli što vidi da čini Otac; što on čini, to jednako i Sin čini.
Jesus replied to them by saying, “You need to know this: I can do nothing by my own [authority]. I do only the [kind of] things that I see [my] Father doing. Whatever kinds of things my Father is doing, those are the things I am doing.
20 Jer Otac Ljubi Sina i pokazuje mu sve što sam čini. Pokazat će mu i veća djela od ovih te ćete se čudom čuditi.
[My] Father loves me, and he shows me everything that he is doing. He will show me [the miracles] that [he wants me to do] that will be greater than the ones that [you have already seen me do], so that you may be amazed.
21 Uistinu, kao što Otac uskrisuje mrtve i oživljava tako i Sin oživljava koje hoće.
[For example], just like [my] Father causes people who have died to become alive again, I will give [eternal] life to everyone that I want to.
22 Otac doista ne sudi nikomu: sav je sud predao Sinu
Furthermore, [my] Father is not the one who judges people [concerning their sins]. Instead, he has given to me the work of judging people,
23 da svi časte Sina kao što časte Oca. Tko ne časti Sina, ne časti ni Oca koji ga posla.”
in order that all people may honor me, just like they honor [my] Father. [My] Father [considers that] anyone who does not honor me is not honoring [him], the one who sent me.
24 “Zaista, zaista, kažem vam: tko sluša moju riječ i vjeruje onomu koji me posla, ima život vječni i ne dolazi na sud, nego je prešao iz smrti u život. (aiōnios g166)
Listen to this carefully: Those who hear my message and believe that [God] is the one who sent me have eternal life. [God will] not (condemn them/say that he will punish them). They are no longer separated from God. Instead, they have [eternal] life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Zaista, zaista, kažem vam: dolazi čas - sada je! - kad će mrtvi čuti glas Sina Božjega i koji čuju, živjet će.
Listen to this carefully: There will be a time when those who are (spiritually dead/separated from God) will hear the voice of me, (the Son of God/the man who is also God). In fact, it is that time already. Those who hear [and pay attention to my message] will have [eternal] life.
26 Doista, kao što Otac ima život u sebi tako je i Sinu dao da ima život u sebi;
[My] Father has [power to] make things live. Similarly, he has given me the [power to enable] people to live [eternally].
27 i ovlasti ga da sudi jer je Sin Čovječji.
Because I am the one who came from heaven, he has given me the authority to judge people [concerning their sins].
28 Ne čudite se tome jer dolazi čas kad će svi koji su u grobovima, čuti njegov glas.
Do not be surprised about that, because there will be a time when all people who have died will hear my voice,
29 I izići će: koji su dobro činili - na uskrsnuće života, a koji su radili zlo - na uskrsnuće osude.
and they will become alive again. Those who have lived good [lives] will rise [from their graves] and live forever. But those who have lived evil lives will rise, and I will (condemn them/declare that I will punish them [for their sins]).
30 Ja sam od sebe ne mogu učiniti ništa: kako čujem, sudim, i sud je moj pravedan jer ne tražim svoje volje, nego volju onoga koji me posla.”
I do not do anything [like that] by my own authority. I judge people only according to what I hear [my Father tell me]. I will judge people fairly, because I do not want to please only myself. Instead, I want to please [my Father], who sent me.
31 “Ako ja svjedočim sam za sebe, svjedočanstvo moje nije istinito.
If I were the [only] one to tell people about myself, [people could rightly say that] what I say is not true.
32 Drugi svjedoči za mene i znam: istinito je svjedočanstvo kojim on svjedoči za mene.
But there is someone else who tells people about me. And I know that what he tells people about me is true.
33 Vi ste poslali k Ivanu i on je posvjedočio za istinu.
As for you, when you sent messengers to John [the Baptizer to ask about me], he told the truth [about me].
34 Ja ne primam svjedočanstva od čovjeka, već govorim to da se vi spasite.
I do not [need that] people tell others [about me]. But instead, I am reminding [you about what John told people about me], in order that you will [believe it and] be saved {[God] will save you}.
35 On bijaše svjetiljka što gori i svijetli, a vi se htjedoste samo za čas naslađivati njegovom svjetlosti.
[John’s message about me] (OR, [John]) [MET] was [like] a lamp that shines brightly. For a short while you were willing to be made happy [by that message] {to let [that message] make you happy}.
36 Ali ja imam svjedočanstvo veće od Ivanova: djela koja mi je dao izvršiti Otac, upravo ta djela koja činim, svjedoče za mene - da me poslao Otac.
But there is something else that tells you about me. [It should prove who I am] more than what John [said about me]. The miracles [PRS] that [my] Father told me to do, the miracles that I am performing, show (OR, prove) to people that my Father sent me.
37 Pa i Otac koji me posla sam je svjedočio za mene. Niti ste glasa njegova ikada čuli niti ste lica njegova ikada vidjeli,
Furthermore, [my] Father, who sent me, tells people about me. You have never heard his voice or seen him.
38 a ni riječ njegova ne prebiva u vama jer ne vjerujete onomu kojega on posla.
Furthermore, you have not believed in [me], the one he sent. So you have not [believed] his message in your inner beings.
39 Vi istražujete Pisma jer mislite po njima imati život vječni. I ona svjedoče za mene, (aiōnios g166)
You carefully study (OR, Study) the Scriptures, because you think that by [studying] them you will [find the way to] have eternal life. And those Scriptures tell people about me! (aiōnios g166)
40 a vi ipak nećete da dođete k meni da život imate.
But you refuse (to come to me/to believe my message) in order that you may have [eternal] life.
41 Slave od ljudi ne tražim,
It does not [matter to] me whether people praise me.
42 ali vas dobro upoznah: ljubavi Božje nemate u sebi.
But you [want people to praise you]. I know that within yourselves you do not love God.
43 Ja sam došao u ime Oca svoga i vi me ne primate. Dođe li tko drugi u svoje ime, njega ćete primiti.
Although I have come to earth with my Father’s authority [MTY], you do not accept me. But if someone else comes with his own authority [MTY], you accept him!
44 Ta kako biste vi vjerovali kad tražite slavu jedni od drugih, a slave od Boga jedinoga ne tražite!
You accept your praising each other, but you do not try to do things that will result in God himself praising you. So (there is no way you can believe [in me]!/how can you believe [my message]?) [RHQ]
45 Ne mislite da ću vas ja tužiti Ocu. Vaš je tužitelj Mojsije u koga se uzdate.
But do not think that I am the one who will accuse you while [my] Father is listening! No, it is Moses who will accuse you! You thought that he would [defend you].
46 Uistinu, kad biste vjerovali Mojsiju, i meni biste vjerovali: ta o meni je on pisao.
Moses wrote about me, so if you had believed what he [wrote], you would have believed what I [said]
47 Ali ako njegovim pismima ne vjerujete, kako da mojim riječima vjerujete?”
But because you did not believe what he wrote [about me], (you will certainly not believe what I say!/how will you believe what I say?) [RHQ]”
