John 5
1 After that, there was a feast of the Iewes, and Iesus went vp to Hierusalem.
Yei akyi no, Yudafoɔ afahyɛ bi enti, Yesu sane kɔɔ Yerusalem.
2 And there is at Hierusalem by the place of the sheepe, a poole called in Ebrew Bethesda, hauing fiue porches:
Na ɔtadeɛ bi wɔ kuro no mu a wɔfrɛ no Betesda a na ɛbɛn kuro no ano ɛpono kɛseɛ bi a wɔfrɛ no Nnwan Ɛpono no. Na wɔabɔ apata ahodoɔ enum atwa ho ahyia.
3 In the which lay a great multitude of sicke folke, of blinde, halte, and withered, wayting for the mouing of the water.
Saa apata yi ase na na ayarefoɔ pii sɛ, anifirafoɔ, mpakye ne mmubuafoɔ wɔ retwɛn sɛ Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ firi ɔsoro bɛba abɛhono nsuo no.
4 For an Angel went downe at a certaine season into the poole, and troubled the water: whosoeuer then first, after the stirring of the water, stepped in, was made whole of whatsoeuer disease he had.
Deɛ ɛteɛ ne sɛ, sɛ ɔbɔfoɔ no hono nsuo no wie a, ɔyarefoɔ a ɔbɛdi ɛkan atɔ nsuo no mu no nya ayaresa.
5 And a certaine man was there, which had bene diseased eight and thirtie yeeres.
Na ɔbarima bi ayare ada ɔtadeɛ no ho mfeɛ aduasa nwɔtwe.
6 When Iesus sawe him lie, and knew that he nowe long time had bene diseased, he saide vnto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
Yesu hunuu sɛ wayare ada hɔ akyɛre no, ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Wopɛ sɛ wo ho yɛ wo den anaa?”
7 The sicke man answered him, Sir, I haue no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the poole: but while I am comming, another steppeth downe before me.
Ɔyarefoɔ no buaa no sɛ, “Me wura, sɛ ɔbɔfoɔ no bɛhono nsuo no a, mennya obi a ɔbɛma me so ato mu. Ɛberɛ biara a mɛbɔ me ho mmɔden sɛ merekɔ nsuo no mu no, obi di me ɛkan.”
8 Iesus said vnto him, Rise: take vp thy bed, and walke.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɔre! Bobɔ wo kɛtɛ na kɔ efie.”
9 And immediatly the man was made whole, and tooke vp his bed, and walked: and the same day was the Sabbath.
Amonom hɔ ara, ɔbarima no ho yɛɛ no den; ɔbobɔɔ ne kɛtɛ, hyɛɛ aseɛ nanteeɛ. Na saa da no yɛ homeda.
10 The Iewes therefore said to him that was made whole, It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawfull for thee to cary thy bed.
Yudafoɔ mpanin hunuu ɔbarima no sɛ ɔso ne kɛtɛ no, wɔn bo fuu yie. Wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Wonnim sɛ ɛnnɛ yɛ homeda na ɛtia mmara sɛ wobɛsoa wo kɛtɛ anaa?”
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, he said vnto me, Take vp thy bed, and walke.
Ɔbarima yi de ahopopoɔ yii ne ho ano sɛ, “Onipa a ɔsaa me yadeɛ no na ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, mensoa me kɛtɛ na menkɔ.”
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said vnto thee, Take vp thy bed and walke?
Wɔtee saa no, wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Hwan ne saa onipa yi?”
13 And he that was healed, knewe not who it was: for Iesus had conueied himselfe away from the multitude that was in that place.
Nso na deɛ ne ho yɛɛ no den no nnim Yesu. Afei, nso na Yesu afiri nnipa no mu kɔ.
14 And after that, Iesus founde him in the Temple, and said vnto him, Beholde, thou art made whole: sinne no more, lest a worse thing come vnto thee.
Akyire yi, Yesu hyiaa ɔbarima yi wɔ asɔredan mu tuu no fo sɛ, “Afei a wo ho ayɛ wo den yi, hwɛ yie na woankɔyɛ bɔne bio amma biribi a ɛsene kane yadeɛ no amma wo so.”
15 The man departed and tolde the Iewes that it was Iesus, which had made him whole.
Ɔbarima yi firii hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ Yudafoɔ mpanin no sɛ ɛyɛ Yesu na ɔsaa no yadeɛ no.
16 And therefore the Iewes did persecute Iesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.
Yudafoɔ mpanin yi hyɛɛ aseɛ tanee Yesu ani, ɛfiri sɛ, wabu wɔn homeda mmara no so.
17 But Iesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I worke.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mʼagya yɛ adwuma ɛberɛ biara, enti ɛsɛ sɛ me nso meyɛ adwuma ɛberɛ biara.”
18 Therefore the Iewes sought the more to kill him: not onely because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was his Father, and made himselfe equall with God.
Saa asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ yi maa Yudafoɔ mpanin no bo fuiɛ, na wɔyɛɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wɔbɛkum no, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛnyɛ homeda mmara no nko na wabu so, na bio, ɔfrɛ ne ho sɛ Onyankopɔn Ba de kyerɛ sɛ, ɔne Onyankopɔn yɛ pɛ.
19 Then answered Iesus, and said vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, The Sonne can doe nothing of himselfe, saue that he seeth the Father doe: for whatsoeuer things he doth, the same things doeth the Sonne in like maner.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɔba no ntumi mfiri ne pɛ mu nyɛ biribi, na mmom, ɔyɛ deɛ ɔhunu sɛ nʼAgya yɛ no bi.
20 For the Father loueth the Sonne, and sheweth him all things, whatsoeuer he himselfe doeth, and he will shewe him greater workes then these, that ye should marueile.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Agya no dɔ Ɔba no na biribiara a Agya no yɛ no, ɔma Ɔba no hunu. Na Ɔba no bɛyɛ nnwuma akɛseɛ a ɛsene saa ɔbarima yi ayaresa yi ama mo ho adwiri mo.
21 For likewise as the Father rayseth vp the dead, and quickeneth them, so the Sonne quickeneth whom he will.
Na sɛdeɛ Agya no nyane awufoɔ no, saa ara nso na Ɔba no nyane awufoɔ a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔnyane wɔn no.
22 For the Father iudgeth no man, but hath committed all iudgement vnto the Sonne,
Afei koraa, mʼAgya mmu obiara atɛn. Ɔde saa atemmuo tumi no ahyɛ Ɔba no nsa,
23 Because that all men shoulde honour the Sonne, as they honour the Father: he that honoureth not the Sonne, the same honoureth not the Father, which hath sent him.
sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a obiara bɛdi Ɔba no ni sɛdeɛ wɔdi Agya no ni no. Obiara a ɔnni Ɔba no ni no, nni Agya a ɔsomaa no no nso ni.
24 Verely, verely I say vnto you, he that heareth my worde, and beleeueth him that sent me, hath euerlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but hath passed from death vnto life. (aiōnios g166)
“Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ: Obiara a ɔtie me nsɛm na ɔgye deɛ ɔsomaa me no di no, wɔ nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. Wɔremmu no atɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, wafiri owuo mu aba nkwa mu. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verely, verely I say vnto you, the houre shall come, and now is, when the dead shall heare the voyce of the Sonne of God: and they that heare it, shall liue.
Mereka nokorɛ bio sɛ, ɛberɛ bi reba, na mpo saa ɛberɛ no anya aba a awufoɔ bɛte Onyankopɔn Ba no nne, na wɔn a wɔte ne nne no bɛnya nkwa.
26 For as the Father hath life in himselfe, so likewise hath he giuen to the Sonne to haue life in himselfe,
Sɛdeɛ Agya no yɛ nkwamafoɔ no, saa ara nso na wama ne Ba no tumi ama wayɛ nkwamafoɔ.
27 And hath giuen him power also to execute iudgement, in that he is the Sonne of man.
Wama Ɔba no tumi a ɔde bu atɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno ne Onipa Ba no.
28 Marueile not at this: for the houre shall come, in the which all that are in the graues, shall heare his voyce.
“Mommma saa asɛm yi nnyɛ mo nwanwa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ bi reba a awufoɔ a wɔwɔ wɔn damena mu mpo bɛte me nne,
29 And they shall come foorth, that haue done good, vnto ye resurrection of life: but they that haue done euil, vnto the resurrection of condemnation.
na wɔasɔresɔre. Wɔn a wɔayɛ papa no bɛnyane atena nkwa mu, na wɔn a wɔayɛ bɔne no nso, wɔabu wɔn fɔ.
30 I can doe nothing of mine owne selfe: as I heare, I iudge: and my iudgement is iust, because I seeke not mine owne will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.
Merentumi mfiri mʼankasa me tumi mu nyɛ biribiara; asɛm a Onyankopɔn aka akyerɛ me no so na megyina bu atɛn. Ɛno enti, atɛn a mebu no yɛ nokorɛ.
31 If I should beare witnesse of my selfe, my witnesse were not true.
“Sɛ me ara medi me ho adanseɛ a, mʼadansedie no nni mu.
32 There is another that beareth witnesse of me, and I know that the witnesse, which he beareth of me, is true.
Na obi wɔ hɔ a ɔdi me ho adanseɛ a menim sɛ nʼadanseɛ a ɔdi fa me ho no yɛ nokorɛ.
33 Ye sent vnto Iohn, and he bare witnesse vnto the trueth.
“Moasoma nnipa akɔ Yohane nkyɛn na wadi adanseɛ a ɛyɛ nokorɛ.
34 But I receiue not the record of man: neuerthelesse these things I say, that ye might be saued.
Nnipa adansedie ho nhia me ansa na moahunu onipa ko a meyɛ. Na mmom, meka Yohane adanseɛ a ɔdii no kyerɛ mo sɛ deɛ ɛbɛyɛ na Onyankopɔn bɛgye mo nkwa.
35 He was a burning, and a shining candle: and ye would for a season haue reioyced in his light.
Yohane nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ yɛ kanea a wɔasɔ na ɛhyerɛn, na ɛmaa mo ani gyeeɛ.
36 But I haue greater witnesse then the witnesse of Iohn: for the workes which the Father hath giuen me to finish, the same workes that I doe, beare witnesse of me, that the Father sent me.
“Me nnwuma a mʼAgya de ama me sɛ menyɛ no di me ho adanseɛ sene Yohane.
37 And the Father himselfe, which hath sent me, beareth witnesse of me. Ye haue not heard his voyce at any time, neither haue ye seene his shape.
Ɛwom sɛ monhunuu Agya no anim da, na montee ne nne nso da, nanso wadi me ho adanseɛ.
38 And his worde haue you not abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye beleeued not.
Na nʼasɛm no nso mommfa nsie mo tirim, ɛfiri sɛ, monnnye me a ɔsomaa me no nni.
39 Searche the Scriptures: for in them ye thinke to haue eternall life, and they are they which testifie of me. (aiōnios g166)
Mosua Atwerɛsɛm no ɛfiri sɛ, mogye di sɛ ɛno na ɛbɛma mo anya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. Nanso, saa Atwerɛsɛm korɔ no ara di me ho adanseɛ! (aiōnios g166)
40 But ye will not come to me, that ye might haue life.
Yei nyinaa akyi no, mommpɛ sɛ moba me nkyɛn na moanya nkwa!
41 I receiue not the prayse of men.
“Merenhwehwɛ nnipa anim animuonyam.
42 But I know you, that ye haue not the loue of God in you.
Menim nnipa ko a moyɛ. Menim sɛ monni Onyankopɔn ho dɔ.
43 I am come in my Fathers Name, and ye receiue me not: if another shall come in his owne name, him will ye receiue.
Mebaa mʼAgya din mu nanso moannye me. Nanso, sɛ obi ba wɔ ɔno ara ne din mu na ɔbɛyɛ deɛ ɔpɛ a, ɛno deɛ, mogye no.
44 How can ye beleeue, which receiue honour one of another, and seeke not the honour that commeth of God alone?
Mopɛ sɛ nnipa kamfo mo mmom sene sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛkamfo mo. Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na moagye me adi?
45 Doe not thinke that I will accuse you to my Father: there is one that accuseth you, euen Moses, in whom ye trust.
“Ɛnyɛ me na mɛka asɛm bi atia mo Agya no anim, na mmom, ɛyɛ Mose a mode mo ani too ne mmara so sɛ ɛno na monam so bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie mu no.
46 For had ye beleeued Moses, ye would haue beleeued me: for he wrote of me.
Sɛ mogyee Mose diiɛ a, anka me nso mobɛgye me adi, ɛfiri sɛ, nsɛm a ɔtwerɛeɛ no di me ho adanseɛ.
47 But if ye beleeue not his writings, how shall ye beleeue my wordes?
Na ɛsiane sɛ moannye nsɛm a ɔtwerɛeɛ no anni no enti, ɛnyɛ nwanwa sɛ monnye me nni.”
