John 5
1 After this, there was a Jewish festival so Jesus went to Jerusalem.
tataH paraM yihUdIyAnAm utsava upasthitE yIzu ryirUzAlamaM gatavAn|
2 Now near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem is a pool called Bethzatha in Hebrew, with five porches beside it.
tasminnagarE mESanAmnO dvArasya samIpE ibrIyabhASayA baithEsdA nAmnA piSkariNI panjcaghaTTayuktAsIt|
3 Crowds of sick people were lying in these porches—those who were blind, lame, or paralyzed.
tasyAstESu ghaTTESu kilAlakampanam apEkSya andhakhanjcazuSkAggAdayO bahavO rOgiNaH patantastiSThanti sma|
yatO vizESakAlE tasya sarasO vAri svargIyadUta EtyAkampayat tatkIlAlakampanAt paraM yaH kazcid rOgI prathamaM pAnIyamavArOhat sa Eva tatkSaNAd rOgamuktO'bhavat|
5 One man who was there had been sick for thirty-eight years. Jesus looked at him, knowing he had been lying there for long time, and asked him,
tadASTAtriMzadvarSANi yAvad rOgagrasta Ekajanastasmin sthAnE sthitavAn|
6 “Do you want to be healed?”
yIzustaM zayitaM dRSTvA bahukAlikarOgIti jnjAtvA vyAhRtavAn tvaM kiM svasthO bubhUSasi?
7 “Sir,” the sick man answered, “I don't have anyone to help me get into the pool when the water is stirred. While I'm trying to get there, someone always gets in before me.”
tatO rOgI kathitavAn hE mahEccha yadA kIlAlaM kampatE tadA mAM puSkariNIm avarOhayituM mama kOpi nAsti, tasmAn mama gamanakAlE kazcidanyO'grO gatvA avarOhati|
8 “Stand up, pick up your mat, and start walking!” Jesus told him.
tadA yIzurakathayad uttiSTha, tava zayyAmuttOlya gRhItvA yAhi|
9 Immediately the man was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking. Now the day that this happened was the Sabbath.
sa tatkSaNAt svasthO bhUtvA zayyAmuttOlyAdAya gatavAn kintu taddinaM vizrAmavAraH|
10 So the Jews said to the man who'd been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It's against the law to carry a mat!”
tasmAd yihUdIyAH svasthaM naraM vyAharan adya vizrAmavArE zayanIyamAdAya na yAtavyam|
11 “The man who healed me told me to pick up my mat and start walking,” he replied.
tataH sa pratyavOcad yO mAM svastham akArSIt zayanIyam uttOlyAdAya yAtuM mAM sa EvAdizat|
12 “Who's this person who told you to carry your mat and walk?” they asked.
tadA tE'pRcchan zayanIyam uttOlyAdAya yAtuM ya AjnjApayat sa kaH?
13 However, the man who'd been healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the surrounding crowd.
kintu sa ka iti svasthIbhUtO nAjAnAd yatastasmin sthAnE janatAsattvAd yIzuH sthAnAntaram Agamat|
14 Later on Jesus found the man in the Temple, and told him, “Look, now you've been healed. So stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”
tataH paraM yEzu rmandirE taM naraM sAkSAtprApyAkathayat pazyEdAnIm anAmayO jAtOsi yathAdhikA durdazA na ghaTatE taddhEtOH pApaM karmma punarmAkArSIH|
15 The man went and told the Jews it was Jesus who had healed him.
tataH sa gatvA yihUdIyAn avadad yIzu rmAm arOgiNam akArSIt|
16 So the Jews started to harass Jesus because he was doing things on the Sabbath.
tatO yIzu rvizrAmavArE karmmEdRzaM kRtavAn iti hEtO ryihUdIyAstaM tAPayitvA hantum acESTanta|
17 But Jesus told them, “My Father is still working, and so am I.”
yIzustAnAkhyat mama pitA yat kAryyaM karOti tadanurUpam ahamapi karOti|
18 This was why the Jews tried even harder to kill him, for not only did he break the Sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.
tatO yihUdIyAstaM hantuM punarayatanta yatO vizrAmavAraM nAmanyata tadEva kEvalaM na adhikantu IzvaraM svapitaraM prOcya svamapIzvaratulyaM kRtavAn|
19 Jesus explained to them, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does the Son does as well.
pazcAd yIzuravadad yuSmAnahaM yathArthataraM vadAmi putraH pitaraM yadyat karmma kurvvantaM pazyati tadatiriktaM svEcchAtaH kimapi karmma karttuM na zaknOti| pitA yat karOti putrOpi tadEva karOti|
20 For the Father loves the Son, and reveals to him everything he does; and the Father will show to him even more incredible things that will completely amaze you.
pitA putrE snEhaM karOti tasmAt svayaM yadyat karmma karOti tatsarvvaM putraM darzayati; yathA ca yuSmAkaM AzcaryyajnjAnaM janiSyatE tadartham itOpi mahAkarmma taM darzayiSyati|
21 For just as the Father gives life to those he resurrects from the dead, in the same way the Son also gives life to those that he wants.
vastutastu pitA yathA pramitAn utthApya sajivAn karOti tadvat putrOpi yaM yaM icchati taM taM sajIvaM karOti|
22 The Father judges no one. He has given to the Son all the authority to judge,
sarvvE pitaraM yathA satkurvvanti tathA putramapi satkArayituM pitA svayaM kasyApi vicAramakRtvA sarvvavicArANAM bhAraM putrE samarpitavAn|
23 so that everyone may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.
yaH putraM sat karOti sa tasya prErakamapi sat karOti|
24 I tell you the truth: those who follow what I say and trust the one who sent me have eternal life. They won't be condemned, but have gone from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
yuSmAnAhaM yathArthataraM vadAmi yO janO mama vAkyaM zrutvA matprErakE vizvasiti sOnantAyuH prApnOti kadApi daNPabAjanaM na bhavati nidhanAdutthAya paramAyuH prApnOti| (aiōnios g166)
25 I tell you the truth: The time is coming—in fact it's here already—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live!
ahaM yuSmAnatiyathArthaM vadAmi yadA mRtA Izvaraputrasya ninAdaM zrOSyanti yE ca zrOSyanti tE sajIvA bhaviSyanti samaya EtAdRza AyAti varam idAnImapyupatiSThati|
26 Just as the Father has life-giving power in himself, so has he given the Son the same life-giving power in himself.
pitA yathA svayanjjIvI tathA putrAya svayanjjIvitvAdhikAraM dattavAn|
27 The Father also granted the authority for judgment to him, for he is the Son of man.
sa manuSyaputraH EtasmAt kAraNAt pitA daNPakaraNAdhikAramapi tasmin samarpitavAn|
28 Don't be surprised at this, for the time is coming when all those in the grave will hear his voice
EtadarthE yUyam AzcaryyaM na manyadhvaM yatO yasmin samayE tasya ninAdaM zrutvA zmazAnasthAH sarvvE bahirAgamiSyanti samaya EtAdRza upasthAsyati|
29 and will rise again: those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation.
tasmAd yE satkarmmANi kRtavantasta utthAya AyuH prApsyanti yE ca kukarmANi kRtavantasta utthAya daNPaM prApsyanti|
30 I can do nothing by myself. I judge based on what I'm told, and my decision is right, for I'm not doing my own will but the will of the one who sent me.
ahaM svayaM kimapi karttuM na zaknOmi yathA zuNOmi tathA vicArayAmi mama vicAranjca nyAyyaH yatOhaM svIyAbhISTaM nEhitvA matprErayituH pituriSTam IhE|
31 If I were to make claims about myself, such claims wouldn't be valid;
yadi svasmin svayaM sAkSyaM dadAmi tarhi tatsAkSyam AgrAhyaM bhavati;
32 but someone else gives evidence about me, and I know what he says about me is true.
kintu madarthE'parO janaH sAkSyaM dadAti madarthE tasya yat sAkSyaM tat satyam EtadapyahaM jAnAmi|
33 You asked John about me, and he told the truth,
yuSmAbhi ryOhanaM prati lOkESu prEritESu sa satyakathAyAM sAkSyamadadAt|
34 but I don't need any human endorsement. I'm explaining this to you so you can be saved.
mAnuSAdahaM sAkSyaM nOpEkSE tathApi yUyaM yathA paritrayadhvE tadartham idaM vAkyaM vadAmi|
35 John was like a brightly-burning light, and you were willing to enjoy his light for a while.
yOhan dEdIpyamAnO dIpa iva tEjasvI sthitavAn yUyam alpakAlaM tasya dIptyAnandituM samamanyadhvaM|
36 But the evidence I'm giving is greater than John's. For I am doing the work that the Father gave me to do,
kintu tatpramANAdapi mama gurutaraM pramANaM vidyatE pitA mAM prESya yadyat karmma samApayituM zakttimadadAt mayA kRtaM tattat karmma madarthE pramANaM dadAti|
37 and this is the proof that the Father sent me. The Father who sent me, he himself speaks on my behalf. You've never heard his voice, and you've never seen what he looks like,
yaH pitA mAM prEritavAn mOpi madarthE pramANaM dadAti| tasya vAkyaM yuSmAbhiH kadApi na zrutaM tasya rUpanjca na dRSTaM
38 and you don't accept what he says, because you don't trust in the one he sent.
tasya vAkyanjca yuSmAkam antaH kadApi sthAnaM nApnOti yataH sa yaM prESitavAn yUyaM tasmin na vizvasitha|
39 You search the Scriptures because you think that through them you'll gain eternal life. But the evidence they give is in support of me! (aiōnios g166)
dharmmapustakAni yUyam AlOcayadhvaM tai rvAkyairanantAyuH prApsyAma iti yUyaM budhyadhvE taddharmmapustakAni madarthE pramANaM dadati| (aiōnios g166)
40 And yet you don't want to come to me so that you might live.
tathApi yUyaM paramAyuHprAptayE mama saMnidhim na jigamiSatha|
41 I'm not looking for human approval
ahaM mAnuSEbhyaH satkAraM na gRhlAmi|
42 —I know you, and that you don't have God's love in you.
ahaM yuSmAn jAnAmi; yuSmAkamantara IzvaraprEma nAsti|
43 For I've come to represent my Father, and you won't accept me; but if someone comes representing themselves, then you accept them!
ahaM nijapitu rnAmnAgatOsmi tathApi mAM na gRhlItha kintu kazcid yadi svanAmnA samAgamiSyati tarhi taM grahISyatha|
44 How can you trust in me when you look for praise from one another and yet you don't look for praise from the one true God?
yUyam IzvarAt satkAraM na ciSTatvA kEvalaM parasparaM satkAram cEd AdadhvvE tarhi kathaM vizvasituM zaknutha?
45 But don't think I will be making accusations about you to the Father. It's Moses who is accusing you, the one in whom you place such confidence.
putuH samIpE'haM yuSmAn apavadiSyAmIti mA cintayata yasmin, yasmin yuSmAkaM vizvasaH saEva mUsA yuSmAn apavadati|
46 For if you really trusted Moses you would trust in me, because he wrote about me.
yadi yUyaM tasmin vyazvasiSyata tarhi mayyapi vyazvasiSyata, yat sa mayi likhitavAn|
47 But since you don't trust what he said, why would you trust what I say?”
tatO yadi tEna likhitavAni na pratitha tarhi mama vAkyAni kathaM pratyESyatha?
