John 5
1 After this, there was a Jewish festival so Jesus went to Jerusalem.
Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akakwira kuJerusarema kumutambo wavaJudha.
2 Now near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem is a pool called Bethzatha in Hebrew, with five porches beside it.
Zvino muJerusarema mune dziva riri pedyo neSuo raMakwai, rinonzi Bhetesdha nechiHebheru, uye rakapoteredzwa namabiravira mashanu.
3 Crowds of sick people were lying in these porches—those who were blind, lame, or paralyzed.
Imomo vanhu vazhinji vakaremara vaisivatamo, mapofu, zvirema navakafa mitezo.
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 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,
Mumwe murume akanga arimo akanga arwara kwamakore makumi matatu namasere.
6 “Do you want to be healed?”
Jesu akati amuona avete imomo, uye aiziva kuti akanga aita mararamiro iwayo kwenguva refu, akamubvunza akati, “Unoda kuporeswa here?”
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.”
Murwere akati, “Ishe, handina munhu anondibatsira kuti ndipinde mudziva mvura painenge yabvongodzwa. Ndichiri kuedza kupinda, mumwe anonditangira.”
8 “Stand up, pick up your mat, and start walking!” Jesus told him.
Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari, “Simuka! Tora rukukwe rwako ufambe.”
9 Immediately the man was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking. Now the day that this happened was the Sabbath.
Pakarepo murume uyu akaporeswa; akatora rukukwe rwake akafamba. Zuva rakaitika izvi raiva reSabata.
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!”
Naizvozvo vaJudha vakati kumurume uya akanga aporeswa, “Nhasi iSabata; murayiro unokurambidza kuti utakure rukukwe rwako.”
11 “The man who healed me told me to pick up my mat and start walking,” he replied.
Asi iye akapindura akati, “Murume andiporesa ati kwandiri, ‘Takura rukukwe rwako ufambe.’”
12 “Who's this person who told you to carry your mat and walk?” they asked.
Saka vakamubvunza vakati, “Ndianiko murume uyu akutaurira kuti urutakure ufambe?”
13 However, the man who'd been healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the surrounding crowd.
Murume uya akanga aporeswa akanga asingazivi kuti ainge ari ani, nokuti Jesu akanga apinda mukati meungano yakanga iripo.
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.”
Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akamuwana ari mutemberi uye akati kwaari, “Tarira, wapora. Usatadzazve kuti urege kuwirwa nechimwe chinhu chakaipisisa.”
15 The man went and told the Jews it was Jesus who had healed him.
Murume akabva akaenda akandoudza vaJudha kuti ndiJesu akanga amuporesa.
16 So the Jews started to harass Jesus because he was doing things on the Sabbath.
Saka nokuda kwokuti Jesu akanga achiita zvinhu izvi nomusi weSabata, vaJudha vakamutambudza.
17 But Jesus told them, “My Father is still working, and so am I.”
Jesu akati kwavari, “Baba vangu vanoramba vari pabasa ravo kusvikira nhasi chaiye, uye neniwo, ndiri kushanda.”
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.
Nokuda kwaizvozvi, vaJudha vakaedza zvakanyanya kwazvo kuti vamuuraye; nokuti akanga asingaputsi Sabata chete, asi akanga achitiwo Mwari ndiBaba vake, achizvienzanisa naMwari.
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.
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 reveals to him everything he does; and the Father will show to him even more incredible things that will completely amaze you.
Nokuti Baba vanoda Mwanakomana uye vanomuratidza zvose zvavanoita ivo. Hongu, kuti imi mushamiswe, vachamuratidza kunyange zvinhu zvikuru kwazvo kupfuura izvi.
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.
Nokuti sezvo Baba vachimutsa vakafa uye vachivapa upenyu, saizvozvo Mwanakomana anopa upenyu kuno uyo waanofarira kuti ape.
22 The Father judges no one. He has given to the Son all the authority to judge,
Pamusoro paizvozvo, Baba havatongi munhu, asi vakapa Mwanakomana kutonga kwose,
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.
kuti vose vakudze Mwanakomana sokukudza kwavanoita Baba. Uyo asingakudzi Mwanakomana, haakudzi Baba vakamutuma.
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)
“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 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!
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, nguva inouya uye yatosvika zvino yokuti vakafa vachanzwa inzwi roMwanakomana waMwari uye avo vanonzwa vachararama.
26 Just as the Father has life-giving power in himself, so has he given the Son the same life-giving power in himself.
Nokuti sezvo Baba vano upenyu mavari, saizvozvowo vakapa Mwanakomana kuti ave noupenyu maari.
27 The Father also granted the authority for judgment to him, for he is the Son of man.
Uye vakamupa simba rokuti atonge nokuti ndiye Mwanakomana woMunhu.
28 Don't be surprised at this, for the time is coming when all those in the grave will hear his voice
“Musashamiswa pane izvi, kuti nguva inouya yokuti vose vari mumakuva avo vachanzwa inzwi rake
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.
uye vachamuka; vose vakaita zvakanaka vachamuka vachienda kuupenyu, uye avo vakaita zvakaipa vachamuka vachienda kukutongwa.
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.
Ini ndoga handigoni kuita chinhu; ndinongotonga sezvandinenge ndanzwa, uye kutonga kwangu kwakarurama, nokuti handitsvaki kuzvifadza asi iye akandituma.
31 If I were to make claims about myself, such claims wouldn't be valid;
“Kana ndichizvipupurira, uchapupu hwangu hahuna maturo.
32 but someone else gives evidence about me, and I know what he says about me is true.
Pano mumwe anondipupurira, uye ndinoziva kuti uchapupu hwake pamusoro pangu ndohwechokwadi.
33 You asked John about me, and he told the truth,
“Makatuma nhume kuna Johani naiye akapupurira chokwadi.
34 but I don't need any human endorsement. I'm explaining this to you so you can be saved.
Hazvirevi kuti ndinogamuchira kupupura kwavanhu; asi ndareva izvi kuti muponeswe.
35 John was like a brightly-burning light, and you were willing to enjoy his light for a while.
Johani akanga ari mwenje waipfuta uye uchivhenekera, uye imi makasarudza kufara kwenguva duku muchiedza chake.
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,
“Ndino uchapupu hukuru kupfuura hwaJohani. Nokuti iro basa chairo randakapiwa naBaba kuti ndiripedze, uye randiri kuita, rinondipupurira kuti Baba vakandituma.
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,
Uye ivo Baba vakandituma vakapupura pachavo pamusoro pangu. Hamuna kutombonzwa inzwi ravo kana kuona chimiro chavo,
38 and you don't accept what he says, because you don't trust in the one he sent.
uye shoko ravo harigari mukati menyu, nokuti hamutendi iye waakatuma.
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)
Munoshingaira kunzvera magwaro nokuti munofunga kuti maari mune upenyu husingaperi. Magwaro iwaya anopupura pamusoro pangu, (aiōnios g166)
40 And yet you don't want to come to me so that you might live.
asi imi munoramba kuuya kwandiri kuti muve noupenyu.
41 I'm not looking for human approval
“Handigamuchiri kurumbidzwa kunobva kuvanhu,
42 —I know you, and that you don't have God's love in you.
asi ndinokuzivai. Ndinoziva kuti hamuna rudo rwaMwari mumwoyo yenyu.
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!
Ndakauya muzita raBaba vangu, asi hamundigamuchiri; asi kana mumwewo zvake akauya muzita rake, muchamugamuchira.
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?
Mungatenda seiko kana muchikudzana pachenyu asi musingashingairiri kuwana kurumbidzwa kunobva kuna Mwari oga?
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.
“Asi musafunga kuti ndichakupomerai mhosva pamberi paBaba. Mupomeri wenyu ndiMozisi, wamunoisa tariro yenyu maari.
46 For if you really trusted Moses you would trust in me, because he wrote about me.
Dai maitenda Mozisi, mungadai maitendawo ini, nokuti akanyora nezvangu.
47 But since you don't trust what he said, why would you trust what I say?”
Asi sezvo musingatendi zvaakanyora, muchatenda seiko zvandinoreva?”
