John 5
1 AFTER this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Panyuma pakendi kwalikuba kusekelela kwa Bayuda, ku Yelusalemu neye Yesu walayako
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
Lino kopeloko pepi necishinga cambelele, kwalikuba kalishiba ka menshi kalikukwiweti Betsaida mumbali mwalishiba ili mwalikuba mwebakwa tumanda tubili.
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
Mu tumandomo mwalikona bantu bangi balwashi, balema ne bashipilwa kayi ne bakokonyana mibili
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
(Pakwinga mungelo walikufandaula menshi, neco mulwashi walikwingila bwangu mumenshi walikushilikwa.)
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
Nomba pa bantu balwashi abo palikuba umbi walakolwa kwa byaka 38.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
Yesu mpwalamubona nkali wona, waleshiba kwambeti walakolwa kwa cindi citali. Lino walamwipusheti, “Sena ulayandanga kushilikwa?”
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
Mulwashi uyo walambeti, “Nkambo ndiyawa muntu welakuntwala mumenshi na alafundaulwa, ndambeti njingile nkutekucana naumbi lampitili kendi.”
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Yesu walamwambileti, “Punduka, manta mpasa yakobe, yamba kwenda.”
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
Popelapo muntu uyo walashilikwa, walamanta mpasa yakendi nekuyamba kwenda. Busuba ubo bwalikuba bwa Sabata.
10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
Lino Bayuda balambila uyu walashilikwa, “Lelo nipa Sabata, milawo yetu nkayasuminisha kunyamuna mpasa yakobe.”
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
Nomba neye walambeti, “Lanshiliki elangambilyeti, ‘Nyamuna mpasa yakobe nekwenda.’”
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
Nabo balamwipusheti, “Niyani uyo lakwambily eti nyamuna mpasa yakobe wende?”
13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
Nomba uyu muntu walashilikwa nkalamwinshiba walamushilikwa, pakwinga Yesu walikuba lengili mukati mwa bantu bangi abo balikuba popelapo.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
Panyuma pakendi Yesu walamucana mu Nga'nda ya Lesa, usa ngwalashilika, walamwambileti, “Bona, lino ulashilikwa, kotakensa kayi byaipa, kwambeti nkotakakolwa kayi bulwashi nabumbi bwaipa.”
15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
Muntu usa walaya kwambila Bayuda kwambeti Yesu elamushiliki.
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
Lino batangunishi ba Bayuda balatatika kumushupa Yesu pacebo cakushilika muntu pa Sabata.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
Nsombi Yesu walabambileti, “Bata balasebensenga cindi conse mpaka lelo lino, nenjame ndelela kusebensa.”
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
Makani aya alapesheti bayuda bapitilishe kupingila kushina Yesu. Balikwambeti Yesu lapwayanga mulawo wa Sabata, kayi pakwambeti ni mwana wa Lesa, walyelanishinga ne Lesa.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Lino Yesu walambeti, “Ndamwambilinga cancine ncine kwambeti paliya ncela kwinsa Mwana palwakendi mwine. Nsombi ukute kwinsa ncalabononga baishi nkabensa. Bilenshinga baishi neye Mwana mbyakute kwinsa.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
Pakwinga baishi basuni Mwana, neco bakute kumulesha byonse nabo mbyobalenshinga. Baishi nibamuleshe mulimo wapita ibi kwambeti mubinshibe.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
Mbuli Bata ncobakute kupundusha bafwa, nekubapa buyumi, copeleco Mwana lapanga buyumi kuli abo mbasuni.
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
Baishi nkabakute kombolosha muntu sobwe. Nsombi balapa ngofu Mwana kwambeti abe weshikombolosha byonse.
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
Bata bakute kuyandeti bantu bonse balemekenga Mwana, mbuli ncobakute kulemeka Baishi. Muntu labulunga kulemeka Mwana, nkakute kulemeka Baishi balamutuma.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (aiōnios g166)
“Ndamwambilishingeti muntu uliyense lanyumfu maswi akame nekushoma walantuma, nakabe ne buyumi butapu. Uyo nendi nteshi akomboloshewe, nsombi lapulu kendi mu lufu, nekuya mubuyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
Kayi ndamwambilingeti cindi nicikashike, kayi cilashiki kendi, apo bantu bafwa mposhi bakanyumfwe maswi a Mwana wa Lesa, kayi abo beshibakanyumfwe ne bakashome nibakabe ne buyumi.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Mbuli baishi ncebalicitente ca buyumi nendi Mwana walaba citente cabuyumi.
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Neco walamupa mwana ngofu shakombolosha bantu, pakwinga ni Mwana Muntu.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Mutakankamana, pakwinga cindi nicikashike bantu bonse bali mumanda nibakanyumfwe maswi akendi nekupunduka.
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Bantu balensa byaina nibakapunduke kwambeti babe ne buyumi, nsombi balensa byaipa, nibakapunduke kwambeti bomboloshewe.”
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
“Ame nkandela kwinsa kantu pandenka. Nkute kombolosha mbuli ncobakute kung'ambila Bata. Kayi nkute kombolosha mubululami, pakwinga nkankute kwinsa mbyonsuni, nsombi mbyobasuni Bata balantuma.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
“Na ndalinshili bukamboni, bukamboni bwakame nkabwakwana.
32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
Nsombi kuli naumbi ukute kunjinshila bukamboni, kayi bukamboni mbwakute kunjinshila nibwancine ncine.
33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
Amwe mwalatuma ntumi kuli Yohane mubatishi, nendi walensa bukamboni bwakubinga.
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
Nteko kwambeti ame nsuni bukamboni bwa muntu, nsombi ndambanga ibi kwambeti amwe mupuluke.
35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
Yohane mubatishi walikubeti lampi yalikumunika, amwe mwalakondwa ne mumuni kwakacindi kang'ana.
36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
Nsombi ame nkute bukamboni bwapita bwa Yohane. Bata balampa incito njondelela kwinsa, kayi incito njondenshinga iyi ilaleshengeti Bata ebalantuma.
37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
Kayi Bata abo balantuma, balanjinshila bukamboni. Nomba amwe muliya kunyumfwa maswi abo, nambi kubona cinso cabo.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
Maswi abo nkakute kwikala muli njamwe, pakwinga nkamukute kumushoma Bata ngobalatuma.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
Mukute kubelenga Mabala a Lesa, pakwinga mukute kuyeyeti nimucanemo buyumi butapu. Nomba kayi Mabala opelayo akute kunjinshila bukamboni. (aiōnios g166)
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
Nomba amwe mulakananga kwisa kuli njame kwambeti mube ne buyumi.
41 I receive not honour from men.
“Nkandalangaulunga kupewa bulemu kubantu sobwe.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
Nsombi ndimwinshi kwambeti amwe nkamusuni Lesa mumyoyo yenu.
43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
Ame ndalesa mulina lya Bata, nomba amwe muliya kuntambula. Nsombi umbi esa mulina lyakendi ne kulyamba mwine uyo engomukute kutambula.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
Lino nomba nga mushomaconi na musuni owa kulumbaishiwa ne banenu, Nsombi nkamusuni kutambula bulemu mbwela kumupa Lesa?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
Nomba mutayeyeti njame ndeshi nkamwambilenga byaipa kuli Bata. Weshi akamwambilenga nkwali, Mose ngomwalikuba mwashoma.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
Ne mwalashoma Mose cancine ncine ne mwalanshoma ne njame, pakwinga neye walalemba makani alikwamba njame.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Nomba na nkamulashomonga mbyalalemba, nomba ngamushoma aconi maswi akame?”
