John 5
1 After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Eyi akyi no Yudafo afahyɛ bi nti Yesu san kɔɔ Yerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.
Na ɔtare bi wɔ kurow no mu a wɔfrɛ no Betseda a na ɛbɛn kurow no ano pon kɛse bi a wɔfrɛ no Nguan Pon no. Na wɔabɔ pata ahorow anum atwa ho ahyia.
3 In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, [awaiting the moving of the water.
Saa pata yi ase na na ayarefo pii sɛ, anifuraefo, mpakye ne mmubuafo wɔ retwɛn sɛ Awurade bɔfo fi ɔsoro bɛba abɛfono nsu no.
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.]
Nea ɛte ne sɛ, sɛ ɔbɔfo no fono nsu no wie a, ɔyarefo a obedi kan atɔ mu no nya ayaresa.
5 But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.
Na ɔbarima bi ayare ada ɔtare no ho mfe aduasa awotwe.
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?
Yesu huu sɛ wayare ada hɔ akyɛ no, obisaa no se, “Wopɛ sɛ wo ho tɔ wo ana?”
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.
Ɔyarefo no buaa no se, “Me wura, sɛ ɔbɔfo no bɛfono nsu no a, minnya obi a ɔbɛma me so ato mu. Bere biara a mɛbɔ me ho mmɔden sɛ merekɔ mu no, obi di me kan.”
8 Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɔre! Bobɔw wo kɛtɛ na kɔ fie.”
9 And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.
Amono mu hɔ ara, ɔbarima no nyaa ahoɔden bobɔw ne kɛtɛ, fii ase nantewee. Na saa da no yɛ homeda.
10 The Jews therefore said to the healed [man], It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.
Yudafo mpanyin huu ɔbarima no sɛ ɔso ne kɛtɛ no, wɔn bo fuw yiye. Wobisaa no se, “Wunnim sɛ nnɛ yɛ homeda na etia mmara sɛ wobɛsoa wo kɛtɛ ana?”
11 He answered them, He that made me well, he said to me, Take up thy couch and walk.
Ɔbarima yi de ahopopo yii ne ho ano se, “Onipa a ɔsaa me yare no na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se mensoa me kɛtɛ na menkɔ.”
12 They asked him [therefore], Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?
Wɔtee saa no wobisaa no se, “Hena ne saa onipa no?”
13 But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.
Nanso na nea wɔsaa no yare no nnim Yesu. Afei nso na Yesu afa nnipa no mu kɔ.
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.
Akyiri no, Yesu hyiaa ɔbarima no wɔ asɔredan mu tuu no fo se, “Afei a wo ho atɔ wo yi, hwɛ yiye na woankɔyɛ bɔne bio amma biribi a ɛsen kan yare no amma wo so.”
15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
Ɔbarima yi fii hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ Yudafo mpanyin no se ɛyɛ Yesu na ɔsaa no yare no.
16 And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill him], because he had done these things on sabbath.
Yudafo mpanyin yi fii ase tan Yesu ani, efisɛ wabu wɔn homeda mmara no so.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mʼagya yɛ adwuma bere biara enti ɛsɛ sɛ me nso meyɛ adwuma bere biara.”
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.
Saa asɛm a Yesu kaa yi maa Yudafo mpanyin no bo fuwii, na wɔyɛɛ wɔn adwene se wobekum no, efisɛ na ɛnyɛ homeda mmara no nko na obu so na na ɔsan frɛ ne ho se Onyankopɔn Ba de kyerɛ sɛ, ɔne Onyankopɔn yɛ pɛ.
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.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɔba no ntumi mfi ne pɛ mu nyɛ biribi, na mmom ɔyɛ nea ohu sɛ nʼAgya yɛ no bi.
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.
Efisɛ Agya no dɔ Ɔba no na biribiara a Agya no yɛ no ɔma Ɔba no hu. Na Ɔba no bɛyɛ nnwuma akɛse a ɛsen saa ɔbarima yi ayaresa yi ama mo ho adwiriw mo.
21 For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens [them], thus the Son also quickens whom he will:
Na sɛnea Agya no nyan awufo no, saa ara nso na Ɔba no nyan awufo a ɔpɛ sɛ onyan wɔn no.
22 for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;
Afei koraa mʼAgya mmu obiara atɛn. Ɔde saa atemmu tumi no ahyɛ Ɔba no nsa
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.
sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obiara bedi Ɔba no ni, sɛnea wodi Agya no ni no. Obiara a onni Ɔba no ni no nni Agya a ɔsomaa no no nso ni.
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)
“Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se: Obiara a otie me nsɛm na ogye nea ɔsomaa me no di no wɔ nkwa a enni awiei. Wɔremmu no atɛn, efisɛ wafi owu mu aba nkwa mu. (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.
Mereka nokware bio sɛ, bere bi reba, na mpo saa bere no anya aba a awufo bɛte Onyankopɔn Ba no nne, na wɔn a wɔte ne nne no benya nkwa.
26 For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself,
Sɛnea Agya no yɛ nkwamafo no, saa ara nso na wama ne Ba no tumi ama wayɛ nkwamafo.
27 and has given him authority to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man.
Wama Ɔba no tumi a ɔde bu atɛn, efisɛ ɔno ne Onipa Ba no.
28 Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
“Mommma saa asɛm yi nnyɛ mo nwonwa, efisɛ bere bi reba a awufo a wɔwɔ wɔn nna mu mpo bɛte me nne,
29 and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment.
na wɔasɔresɔre. Wɔn a wɔayɛ papa no benyan atena nkwa mu, na wɔn a wɔayɛ bɔne no nso, wɔabu wɔn fɔ.
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.
Merentumi mfi mʼankasa me tumi mu nyɛ biribiara; asɛm a Onyankopɔn aka akyerɛ me no so na migyina bu atɛn. Ɛno nti atɛn a mibu no yɛ nokware.
31 If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.
“Sɛ me ara midi me ho adanse a, mʼadansedi no nni mu.
32 It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.
Na obi wɔ hɔ a odi me ho adanse a minim sɛ nʼadanse a odi fa me ho no yɛ nokware.
33 Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
“Moasoma nnipa akɔ Yohane nkyɛn na wadi adanse a ɛyɛ nokware.
34 But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that ye might be saved.
Nnipa adansedi ho nhia me ansa na moahu onipa ko a meyɛ. Na mmom meka Yohane adanse a odii no kyerɛ mo sɛ nea ɛbɛyɛ na Onyankopɔn begye mo nkwa.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
Yohane nsɛm a ɔkae yɛ kanea a wɔasɔ na ɛhyerɛn, na ɛmaa mo ani gyei.
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.
“Me nnwuma a mʼAgya de ama me sɛ menyɛ no di me ho adanse sen Yohane.
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,
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ munhuu Agya no anim da, na montee ne nne nso da, nanso wadi me ho adanse.
38 and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye do not believe.
Na nʼasɛm no nso mommfa nsie mo tirim, efisɛ munnnye me a ɔsomaa me no nni.
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)
Musua Kyerɛwsɛm no, efisɛ mugye di sɛ ɛno na ɛbɛma moanya nkwa a enni awiei. Nanso saa Kyerɛwsɛm koro no ara di me ho adanse! (aiōnios g166)
40 and ye will not come to me that ye might have life.
Eyi nyinaa akyi no, mommpɛ sɛ moba me nkyɛn na moanya nkwa!
41 I do not receive glory from men,
“Menhwehwɛ nnipa anim anuonyam.
42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
Minim nnipa ko a moyɛ. Minim sɛ munni Onyankopɔn ho dɔ.
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.
Mebaa wɔ mʼAgya din mu nanso moannye me. Nanso sɛ obi ba wɔ ɔno ara ne din mu na ɔbɛyɛ nea ɔpɛ a, ɛno de, mugye no.
44 How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which [comes] from God alone?
Mopɛ sɛ nnipa kamfo mo mmom sen sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛkamfo mo. Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na moagye me adi?
45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust;
“Ɛnyɛ me na mɛka asɛm bi atia mo wɔ Agya no anim, na mmom ɛyɛ Mose a mode mo ani too ne mmara so se ɛno na monam so bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu no.
46 for if ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.
Sɛ mugyee Mose dii a anka me nso mubegye me adi, efisɛ nsɛm a ɔkyerɛw no di me ho adanse.
47 But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Na esiane sɛ moannye nsɛm a ɔkyerɛw no anni no nti, ɛnyɛ nwonwa sɛ munnye me nni.”
