John 5
1 After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akakwira kuJerusarema kumutambo wavaJudha.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.
Zvino muJerusarema mune dziva riri pedyo neSuo raMakwai, rinonzi Bhetesdha nechiHebheru, uye rakapoteredzwa namabiravira mashanu.
3 In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, [awaiting the moving of the water.
Imomo vanhu vazhinji vakaremara vaisivatamo, mapofu, zvirema navakafa mitezo.
4 For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.]
Nguva nenguva mutumwa waShe aiburukiramo achibvongodza mvura. Munhu aitanga kupinda mudziva shure kwenguva ipi zvayo yainge yabvongodzwa mvura aiporeswa pachirwere chipi zvacho chaainge anacho.
5 But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.
Mumwe murume akanga arimo akanga arwara kwamakore makumi matatu namasere.
6 Jesus seeing this [man] lying [there], and knowing that he was [in that state] now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?
Jesu akati amuona avete imomo, uye aiziva kuti akanga aita mararamiro iwayo kwenguva refu, akamubvunza akati, “Unoda kuporeswa here?”
7 The infirm [man] answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.
Murwere akati, “Ishe, handina munhu anondibatsira kuti ndipinde mudziva mvura painenge yabvongodzwa. Ndichiri kuedza kupinda, mumwe anonditangira.”
8 Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk.
Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari, “Simuka! Tora rukukwe rwako ufambe.”
9 And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.
Pakarepo murume uyu akaporeswa; akatora rukukwe rwake akafamba. Zuva rakaitika izvi raiva reSabata.
10 The Jews therefore said to the healed [man], It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.
Naizvozvo vaJudha vakati kumurume uya akanga aporeswa, “Nhasi iSabata; murayiro unokurambidza kuti utakure rukukwe rwako.”
11 He answered them, He that made me well, he said to me, Take up thy couch and walk.
Asi iye akapindura akati, “Murume andiporesa ati kwandiri, ‘Takura rukukwe rwako ufambe.’”
12 They asked him [therefore], Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?
Saka vakamubvunza vakati, “Ndianiko murume uyu akutaurira kuti urutakure ufambe?”
13 But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.
Murume uya akanga aporeswa akanga asingazivi kuti ainge ari ani, nokuti Jesu akanga apinda mukati meungano yakanga iripo.
14 After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.
Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akamuwana ari mutemberi uye akati kwaari, “Tarira, wapora. Usatadzazve kuti urege kuwirwa nechimwe chinhu chakaipisisa.”
15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
Murume akabva akaenda akandoudza vaJudha kuti ndiJesu akanga amuporesa.
16 And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill him], because he had done these things on sabbath.
Saka nokuda kwokuti Jesu akanga achiita zvinhu izvi nomusi weSabata, vaJudha vakamutambudza.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.
Jesu akati kwavari, “Baba vangu vanoramba vari pabasa ravo kusvikira nhasi chaiye, uye neniwo, ndiri kushanda.”
18 For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.
Nokuda kwaizvozvi, vaJudha vakaedza zvakanyanya kwazvo kuti vamuuraye; nokuti akanga asingaputsi Sabata chete, asi akanga achitiwo Mwari ndiBaba vake, achizvienzanisa naMwari.
19 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things he does, these things also the Son does in like manner.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, Mwanakomana haagoni kuita chinhu ari oga; anongogona kuita zvaanoona Baba vake vachiita, nokuti zvose zvinoitwa naBaba, Mwanakomana anozviitawo.
20 For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.
Nokuti Baba vanoda Mwanakomana uye vanomuratidza zvose zvavanoita ivo. Hongu, kuti imi mushamiswe, vachamuratidza kunyange zvinhu zvikuru kwazvo kupfuura izvi.
21 For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens [them], thus the Son also quickens whom he will:
Nokuti sezvo Baba vachimutsa vakafa uye vachivapa upenyu, saizvozvo Mwanakomana anopa upenyu kuno uyo waanofarira kuti ape.
22 for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;
Pamusoro paizvozvo, Baba havatongi munhu, asi vakapa Mwanakomana kutonga kwose,
23 that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.
kuti vose vakudze Mwanakomana sokukudza kwavanoita Baba. Uyo asingakudzi Mwanakomana, haakudzi Baba vakamutuma.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
“Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, ani naani anonzwa shoko rangu uye achitenda uyo akandituma, ano upenyu husingaperi uye haachazotongwi, abva murufu uye aenda kuupenyu. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, nguva inouya uye yatosvika zvino yokuti vakafa vachanzwa inzwi roMwanakomana waMwari uye avo vanonzwa vachararama.
26 For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself,
Nokuti sezvo Baba vano upenyu mavari, saizvozvowo vakapa Mwanakomana kuti ave noupenyu maari.
27 and has given him authority to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man.
Uye vakamupa simba rokuti atonge nokuti ndiye Mwanakomana woMunhu.
28 Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
“Musashamiswa pane izvi, kuti nguva inouya yokuti vose vari mumakuva avo vachanzwa inzwi rake
29 and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment.
uye vachamuka; vose vakaita zvakanaka vachamuka vachienda kuupenyu, uye avo vakaita zvakaipa vachamuka vachienda kukutongwa.
30 I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.
Ini ndoga handigoni kuita chinhu; ndinongotonga sezvandinenge ndanzwa, uye kutonga kwangu kwakarurama, nokuti handitsvaki kuzvifadza asi iye akandituma.
31 If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.
“Kana ndichizvipupurira, uchapupu hwangu hahuna maturo.
32 It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.
Pano mumwe anondipupurira, uye ndinoziva kuti uchapupu hwake pamusoro pangu ndohwechokwadi.
33 Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
“Makatuma nhume kuna Johani naiye akapupurira chokwadi.
34 But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that ye might be saved.
Hazvirevi kuti ndinogamuchira kupupura kwavanhu; asi ndareva izvi kuti muponeswe.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
Johani akanga ari mwenje waipfuta uye uchivhenekera, uye imi makasarudza kufara kwenguva duku muchiedza chake.
36 But I have the witness [that is] greater than [that] of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.
“Ndino uchapupu hukuru kupfuura hwaJohani. Nokuti iro basa chairo randakapiwa naBaba kuti ndiripedze, uye randiri kuita, rinondipupurira kuti Baba vakandituma.
37 And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape,
Uye ivo Baba vakandituma vakapupura pachavo pamusoro pangu. Hamuna kutombonzwa inzwi ravo kana kuona chimiro chavo,
38 and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye do not believe.
uye shoko ravo harigari mukati menyu, nokuti hamutendi iye waakatuma.
39 Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me; (aiōnios g166)
Munoshingaira kunzvera magwaro nokuti munofunga kuti maari mune upenyu husingaperi. Magwaro iwaya anopupura pamusoro pangu, (aiōnios g166)
40 and ye will not come to me that ye might have life.
asi imi munoramba kuuya kwandiri kuti muve noupenyu.
41 I do not receive glory from men,
“Handigamuchiri kurumbidzwa kunobva kuvanhu,
42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
asi ndinokuzivai. Ndinoziva kuti hamuna rudo rwaMwari mumwoyo yenyu.
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.
Ndakauya muzita raBaba vangu, asi hamundigamuchiri; asi kana mumwewo zvake akauya muzita rake, muchamugamuchira.
44 How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which [comes] from God alone?
Mungatenda seiko kana muchikudzana pachenyu asi musingashingairiri kuwana kurumbidzwa kunobva kuna Mwari oga?
45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust;
“Asi musafunga kuti ndichakupomerai mhosva pamberi paBaba. Mupomeri wenyu ndiMozisi, wamunoisa tariro yenyu maari.
46 for if ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.
Dai maitenda Mozisi, mungadai maitendawo ini, nokuti akanyora nezvangu.
47 But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Asi sezvo musingatendi zvaakanyora, muchatenda seiko zvandinoreva?”
