John 5
1 Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Panyuma pakendi kwalikuba kusekelela kwa Bayuda, ku Yelusalemu neye Yesu walayako
2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.
Lino kopeloko pepi necishinga cambelele, kwalikuba kalishiba ka menshi kalikukwiweti Betsaida mumbali mwalishiba ili mwalikuba mwebakwa tumanda tubili.
3 On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.
Mu tumandomo mwalikona bantu bangi balwashi, balema ne bashipilwa kayi ne bakokonyana mibili
(Pakwinga mungelo walikufandaula menshi, neco mulwashi walikwingila bwangu mumenshi walikushilikwa.)
5 One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
Nomba pa bantu balwashi abo palikuba umbi walakolwa kwa byaka 38.
6 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?”
Yesu mpwalamubona nkali wona, waleshiba kwambeti walakolwa kwa cindi citali. Lino walamwipusheti, “Sena ulayandanga kushilikwa?”
7 “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.”
Mulwashi uyo walambeti, “Nkambo ndiyawa muntu welakuntwala mumenshi na alafundaulwa, ndambeti njingile nkutekucana naumbi lampitili kendi.”
8 Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
Yesu walamwambileti, “Punduka, manta mpasa yakobe, yamba kwenda.”
9 Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,
Popelapo muntu uyo walashilikwa, walamanta mpasa yakendi nekuyamba kwenda. Busuba ubo bwalikuba bwa Sabata.
10 so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”
Lino Bayuda balambila uyu walashilikwa, “Lelo nipa Sabata, milawo yetu nkayasuminisha kunyamuna mpasa yakobe.”
11 But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
Nomba neye walambeti, “Lanshiliki elangambilyeti, ‘Nyamuna mpasa yakobe nekwenda.’”
12 “Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.
Nabo balamwipusheti, “Niyani uyo lakwambily eti nyamuna mpasa yakobe wende?”
13 But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.
Nomba uyu muntu walashilikwa nkalamwinshiba walamushilikwa, pakwinga Yesu walikuba lengili mukati mwa bantu bangi abo balikuba popelapo.
14 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.”
Panyuma pakendi Yesu walamucana mu Nga'nda ya Lesa, usa ngwalashilika, walamwambileti, “Bona, lino ulashilikwa, kotakensa kayi byaipa, kwambeti nkotakakolwa kayi bulwashi nabumbi bwaipa.”
15 And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
Muntu usa walaya kwambila Bayuda kwambeti Yesu elamushiliki.
16 Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.
Lino batangunishi ba Bayuda balatatika kumushupa Yesu pacebo cakushilika muntu pa Sabata.
17 But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”
Nsombi Yesu walabambileti, “Bata balasebensenga cindi conse mpaka lelo lino, nenjame ndelela kusebensa.”
18 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.
Makani aya alapesheti bayuda bapitilishe kupingila kushina Yesu. Balikwambeti Yesu lapwayanga mulawo wa Sabata, kayi pakwambeti ni mwana wa Lesa, walyelanishinga ne Lesa.
19 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.
Lino Yesu walambeti, “Ndamwambilinga cancine ncine kwambeti paliya ncela kwinsa Mwana palwakendi mwine. Nsombi ukute kwinsa ncalabononga baishi nkabensa. Bilenshinga baishi neye Mwana mbyakute kwinsa.
20 The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.
Pakwinga baishi basuni Mwana, neco bakute kumulesha byonse nabo mbyobalenshinga. Baishi nibamuleshe mulimo wapita ibi kwambeti mubinshibe.
21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
Mbuli Bata ncobakute kupundusha bafwa, nekubapa buyumi, copeleco Mwana lapanga buyumi kuli abo mbasuni.
22 Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
Baishi nkabakute kombolosha muntu sobwe. Nsombi balapa ngofu Mwana kwambeti abe weshikombolosha byonse.
23 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.
Bata bakute kuyandeti bantu bonse balemekenga Mwana, mbuli ncobakute kulemeka Baishi. Muntu labulunga kulemeka Mwana, nkakute kulemeka Baishi balamutuma.
24 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)
“Ndamwambilishingeti muntu uliyense lanyumfu maswi akame nekushoma walantuma, nakabe ne buyumi butapu. Uyo nendi nteshi akomboloshewe, nsombi lapulu kendi mu lufu, nekuya mubuyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
25 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.
Kayi ndamwambilingeti cindi nicikashike, kayi cilashiki kendi, apo bantu bafwa mposhi bakanyumfwe maswi a Mwana wa Lesa, kayi abo beshibakanyumfwe ne bakashome nibakabe ne buyumi.
26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
Mbuli baishi ncebalicitente ca buyumi nendi Mwana walaba citente cabuyumi.
27 And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
Neco walamupa mwana ngofu shakombolosha bantu, pakwinga ni Mwana Muntu.
28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice
Mutakankamana, pakwinga cindi nicikashike bantu bonse bali mumanda nibakanyumfwe maswi akendi nekupunduka.
29 and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
Bantu balensa byaina nibakapunduke kwambeti babe ne buyumi, nsombi balensa byaipa, nibakapunduke kwambeti bomboloshewe.”
30 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.
“Ame nkandela kwinsa kantu pandenka. Nkute kombolosha mbuli ncobakute kung'ambila Bata. Kayi nkute kombolosha mubululami, pakwinga nkankute kwinsa mbyonsuni, nsombi mbyobasuni Bata balantuma.
31 If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
“Na ndalinshili bukamboni, bukamboni bwakame nkabwakwana.
32 There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
Nsombi kuli naumbi ukute kunjinshila bukamboni, kayi bukamboni mbwakute kunjinshila nibwancine ncine.
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
Amwe mwalatuma ntumi kuli Yohane mubatishi, nendi walensa bukamboni bwakubinga.
34 Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
Nteko kwambeti ame nsuni bukamboni bwa muntu, nsombi ndambanga ibi kwambeti amwe mupuluke.
35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
Yohane mubatishi walikubeti lampi yalikumunika, amwe mwalakondwa ne mumuni kwakacindi kang'ana.
36 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.
Nsombi ame nkute bukamboni bwapita bwa Yohane. Bata balampa incito njondelela kwinsa, kayi incito njondenshinga iyi ilaleshengeti Bata ebalantuma.
37 And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
Kayi Bata abo balantuma, balanjinshila bukamboni. Nomba amwe muliya kunyumfwa maswi abo, nambi kubona cinso cabo.
38 nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
Maswi abo nkakute kwikala muli njamwe, pakwinga nkamukute kumushoma Bata ngobalatuma.
39 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)
Mukute kubelenga Mabala a Lesa, pakwinga mukute kuyeyeti nimucanemo buyumi butapu. Nomba kayi Mabala opelayo akute kunjinshila bukamboni. (aiōnios g166)
40 yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
Nomba amwe mulakananga kwisa kuli njame kwambeti mube ne buyumi.
41 I do not accept glory from men,
“Nkandalangaulunga kupewa bulemu kubantu sobwe.
42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
Nsombi ndimwinshi kwambeti amwe nkamusuni Lesa mumyoyo yenu.
43 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.
Ame ndalesa mulina lya Bata, nomba amwe muliya kuntambula. Nsombi umbi esa mulina lyakendi ne kulyamba mwine uyo engomukute kutambula.
44 How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
Lino nomba nga mushomaconi na musuni owa kulumbaishiwa ne banenu, Nsombi nkamusuni kutambula bulemu mbwela kumupa Lesa?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
Nomba mutayeyeti njame ndeshi nkamwambilenga byaipa kuli Bata. Weshi akamwambilenga nkwali, Mose ngomwalikuba mwashoma.
46 If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
Ne mwalashoma Mose cancine ncine ne mwalanshoma ne njame, pakwinga neye walalemba makani alikwamba njame.
47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
Nomba na nkamulashomonga mbyalalemba, nomba ngamushoma aconi maswi akame?”
