< John 5 >

1 AFTER these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَحَدِ الأَعْيَادِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ،١
2 Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porticos.
وَكَانَ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنْ بَابِ الْغَنَمِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ بِرْكَةٌ اسْمُهَا بِالْعِبْرِيَّةِ بَيْتُ حِسْدَا، حَوْلَهَا خَمْسُ قَاعَاتٍ.٢
3 In these lay a vast multitude of infirm persons, blind, lame, withered, waiting the motion of the water.
يَرْقُدُ فِيهَا جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْمَرْضَى مِنْ عُمْيَانٍ وَعُرْجٍ وَمَشْلُولِينَ، يَنْتَظِرُونَ أَنْ تَتَحَرَّكَ مِيَاهُ الْبِرْكَةِ،٣
4 For occasionally an angel descended into the pool, and put the water into commotion: he therefore who first stepped in after the commotion of the water became well, under whatever complaint he had laboured.
لأَنَّ مَلاكاً كَانَ يَأْتِي مِنْ حِينٍ لِآخَرَ إِلَى الْبِرْكَةِ وَيُحَرِّكُ مَاءَهَا، فَكَانَ الَّذِي يَنْزِلُ أَوَّلاً يُشْفَى، مَهْمَا كَانَ مَرَضُهُ.٤
5 And there was a certain man there, who had a complaint of thirty years standing.
وَكَانَ عِنْدَ الْبِرْكَةِ مَرِيضٌ مُنْذُ ثَمَانٍ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً،٥
6 Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound?
رَآهُ يَسُوعُ رَاقِداً هُنَاكَ فَعَرَفَ أَنَّ مُدَّةً طَوِيلَةً انْقَضَتْ وَهُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ، فَسَأَلَهُ: «أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تُشْفَى؟»٦
7 The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to cast me into the pool: but when I am coming, another goeth down before me.
فَأَجَابَهُ الْمَرِيضُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَيْسَ لِي إِنْسَانٌ يُلْقِينِي فِي الْبِرْكَةِ مَتَى تَحَرَّكَ الْمَاءُ. وَكَمْ مِنْ مَرَّةٍ حَاوَلْتُ النُّزُولَ، فَكَانَ غَيْرِي يَنْزِلُ قَبْلِي دَائِماً».٧
8 Jesus saith to him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «قُمِ احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ».٨
9 And instantly the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked away: and that day was the sabbath.
وَفِي الْحَالِ شُفِيَ الرَّجُلُ وَحَمَلَ فِرَاشَهُ وَمَشَى. وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ سَبْتٍ.٩
10 The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
فَقَالَ الْيَهُودُ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي شُفِيَ: «الْيَوْمَ سَبْتٌ. لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ فِرَاشَكَ!»١٠
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same person said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «الَّذِي أَعَادَ إِلَيَّ الصِّحَّةَ هُوَ قَالَ لِي: احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ».١١
12 Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
فَسَأَلُوهُ: «وَمَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَكَ: احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ؟»١٢
13 Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot.
وَلكِنَّ الْمَرِيضَ الَّذِي شُفِيَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ مَنْ هُوَ، لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ كَانَ قَدِ ابْتَعَدَ، إِذْ كَانَ فِي الْمَكَانِ جَمْعٌ.١٣
14 After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَجَدَهُ يَسُوعُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَا أَنْتَ قَدْ عُدْتَ صَحِيحاً فَلا تَرْجِعْ إِلَى الْخَطِيئَةِ لِئَلّا يُصِيبَكَ مَا هُوَ أَسْوَأُ!»١٤
15 The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.
فَلَمَّا عَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الَّذِي شَفَاهُ، أَسْرَعَ يُخْبِرُ الْيَهُودَ بِذلِكَ.١٥
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day.
فَأَخَذَ الْيَهُودُ يُضَايِقُونَ يَسُوعَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْمَلُ هذِهِ الأَعْمَالَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ.١٦
17 Then Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
وَلكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَازَالَ أَبِي يَعْمَلُ إِلَى الآنَ. وَأَنَا أَيْضاً أَعْمَلُ!»١٧
18 Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality with God.
لِهَذَا ازْدَادَ سَعْيُ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى قَتْلِهِ، لَيْسَ فَقَطْ لأَنَّهُ خَالَفَ سُنَّةَ السَّبْتِ، بَلْ أَيْضاً لأَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ أَبُوهُ، مُسَاوِياً نَفْسَهُ بِاللهِ.١٨
19 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الاِبْنَ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِهِ، بَلْ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَرَى الآبَ يَفْعَلُهُ. فَكُلُّ مَا يَعْمَلُهُ الآبُ، يَعْمَلُهُ الاِبْنُ كَذلِكَ،١٩
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may wonder.
لأَنَّ الآبَ يُحِبُّ الاِبْنَ، وَيُرِيهِ جَمِيعَ مَا يَفْعَلُهُ، وَسَيُرِيهِ أَيْضاً أَعْمَالاً أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا الْعَمَلِ، فَتُدْهَشُونَ.٢٠
21 For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them; so also doth the Son quicken whom he pleases.
فَكَمَا يُقِيمُ الآبُ الْمَوْتَى وَيُحْيِيهِمْ، كَذلِكَ يُحْيِي الاِبْنُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ.٢١
22 For the Father never judgeth any man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son:
وَالآبُ لَا يُحَاكِمُ أَحَداً، بَلْ أَعْطَى الاِبْنَ سُلْطَةَ الْقَضَاءِ كُلَّهَا،٢٢
23 in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.
لِيُكْرِمَ الْجَمِيعُ الاِبْنَ كَمَا يُكْرِمُونَ الآبَ. وَمَنْ لَا يُكْرِمِ الاِبْنَ لَا يُكْرِمِ الآبَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ.٢٣
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life. (aiōnios g166)
الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ مَنْ يَسْمَعْ كَلامِي وَيُؤْمِنْ بِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي تَكُنْ لَهُ الْحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ، وَلا يُحَاكَمْ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ، لأَنَّهُ قَدِ انْتَقَلَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ. (aiōnios g166)٢٤
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ الَّتِي يَسْمَعُ فِيهَا الأَمْوَاتُ صَوْتَ ابْنِ اللهِ سَتَأْتِي بَلْ هِيَ الآنَ وَالَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَهُ يَحْيَوْنَ.٢٥
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself;
لأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ لِلآبِ حَيَاةً فِي ذَاتِهِ، فَقَدْ أَعْطَى الاِبْنَ أَيْضاً أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ حَيَاةٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ،٢٦
27 and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
وَأَعْطَاهُ سُلْطَةً أَنْ يَدِينَ، لأَنَّهُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ.٢٧
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice,
لَا تَتَعَجَّبُوا مِنْ هَذَا: فَسَوْفَ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ يَسْمَعُ فِيهَا جَمِيعُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ صَوْتَهُ،٢٨
29 and they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation.
فَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهَا: فَالَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ يَخْرُجُونَ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ فَفِي الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى الدَّيْنُونَةِ.٢٩
30 I am not able to perform any thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
وَأَنَا لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَاتِي، بَلْ أَحْكُمُ حَسْبَمَا أَسْمَعُ، وَحُكْمِي عَادِلٌ، لأَنِّي لَا أَسْعَى لِتَحْقِيقِ إِرَادَتِي بَلْ إِرَادَةِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.٣٠
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
لَوْ كُنْتُ أَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي، لَكَانَتْ شَهَادَتِي غَيْرَ صَادِقَةٍ،٣١
32 There is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me.
وَلكِنْ غَيْرِي يَشْهَدُ لِي، وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ شَهَادَتَهُ لِي هِيَ حَقٌّ.٣٢
33 Ye sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth.
وَقَدْ بَعَثْتُمْ رُسُلاً إِلَى يُوحَنَّا فَشَهِدَ لِلْحَقِّ.٣٣
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe.
وَأَنَا أَقُولُ هَذَا لَا لأَنِّي أَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى شَهَادَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَلاصِكُمْ،٣٤
35 He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult in his light.
فَقَدْ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا مِصْبَاحاً مُتَوَهِّجاً مُضِيئاً، وَشِئْتُمْ أَنْ تَسْتَمْتِعُوا بِنُورِهِ فَتْرَةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ.٣٥
36 But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
وَلكِنَّ لِي شَهَادَةً أَعْظَمَ مِنْ شَهَادَةِ يُوحَنَّا، وَهِيَ شَهَادَةُ الأَعْمَالِ الَّتِي كَلَّفَنِي الآبُ أَنْ أُنْجِزَهَا وَالَّتِي أَعْمَلُهَا، فَهِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي مُبَيِّنَةً أَنَّ الآبَ أَرْسَلَنِي،٣٦
37 And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form.
وَالآبُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ نَفْسُهُ أَيْضاً يَشْهَدُ لِي. وَأَنْتُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا صَوْتَهُ قَطُّ، وَلا رَأَيْتُمْ هَيْئَتَهُ،٣٧
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
وَلا ثَبَتَتْ كَلِمَتُهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، بِدَلِيلِ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ.٣٨
39 Search the scriptures; for ye suppose in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
أَنْتُمْ تَدْرُسُونَ الْكُتُبَ لأَنَّكُمْ تَعْتَقِدُونَ أَنَّهَا سَتَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ. هذِهِ الْكُتُبُ تَشْهَدُ لِي، (aiōnios g166)٣٩
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
وَلكِنَّكُمْ تَرْفُضُونَ أَنْ تَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ لِتَكُونَ لَكُمُ الْحَيَاةُ.٤٠
41 I receive not glory from men.
لَسْتُ أَقْبَلُ مَجْداً مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّاسِ.٤١
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
وَلكِنِّي أَعْرِفُكُمْ، وَأَعْرِفُ أَنَّ مَحَبَّةَ اللهِ لَيْسَتْ فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ.٤٢
43 I have come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.
فَقَدْ جِئْتُ بِاسْمِ أَبِي وَلَمْ تَقْبَلُونِي، وَلكِنَّكُمْ تُرَحِّبُونَ بِمَنْ يَجِيءُ بِاسْمِ نَفْسِهِ.٤٣
44 How can ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from God alone?
مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِي وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْبَلُونَ الْمَجْدَ بَعْضُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، دُونَ أَنْ تَسْعَوْا فِي طَلَبِ الْمَجْدِ الَّذِي لَا يَمْنَحُهُ إِلّا اللهُ!٤٤
45 Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your hope.
لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي أَشْكُوكُمْ إِلَى الآبِ، فَإِنَّ هُنَالِكَ مَنْ يَشْكُوكُمْ، وَهُوَ مُوسَى الَّذِي عَلَّقْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ رَجَاءَكُمْ.٤٥
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write.
فَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ صَدَّقْتُمْ مُوسَى، لَكُنْتُمْ صَدَّقْتُمُونِي، لأَنَّهُ هُوَ كَتَبَ عَنِّي.٤٦
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?
وَإذَا كُنْتُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ مَا كَتَبَهُ مُوسَى، فَكَيْفَ تُصَدِّقُونَ كَلامِي؟»٤٧
