John 5

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Mme erile morago ga mo o Jesu a boela kwa Jerusalema ka ntlha ya letsatsi lengwe la malatsi a boikhutso a tumelo ya Sejuta.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

Mo mo-tseng, gaufi le kgoro ya dinku go ne go na le Lekadiba ja Betheseda le na le maobo a le matlhano.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

Bontsintsi jwa batho ba ba lwalang, ba ba tlho-tsang, ba ba foufetseng, kgotsa ba ba suleng mefama ba ne ba ntse mo maobong ba letetse go fetlhega ga metsi,

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.

gonne moengele wa Morena o ne a tle a tle go fetlha metsi, mme motho wa ntlha go tlolela mo teng o ne a fodisiwa.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

Mongwe wa banna ba ba neng ba namaletse gone foo, o ne a sa bolo go lwala mo dingwageng di le masome mararo le bofera bobedi.

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?

Erile fa Jesu a mmona ebile a itse lobaka lo a saleng a lwala ka lone a mmotsa a re, “A o batla go fola?”

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.

Mme monna yo o lwalang a re, “Ga ke kgone, ka gore ga ke na ope yo o ntsenyang mo lekadibeng ka nako ya phetlho ya metsi, e a re fa ke sa ntse ke leka go tlolela mo teng, mongwe a bo a nthaka.”

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Nanoga, phutha phate ya gago o ye gae!”

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

Ka bonako monna a fola! A phutha phate a simolola go tsamaya! Mme go ne go le letsatsi la Sabata fa kgakgamatso e e diragala. Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba nna kgatlhanong le tiro eo.

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.

Ba raya monna yo o fodisitsweng ba re, “Ga o a tshwanela go dira ka letsatsi la Sabata! Ga go kafa molaong go tshola phate eo!”

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

Mme ene a ba fetola a re, “Monna yo o mphodisitseng o rile ke e tsee.”

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

Ba mmotsa ba re, “Yo o neng a bua selo se se ntseng jalo ke mang?”

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.

Monna yo o fodisitsweng a bo a sa itse gore ke mang, gonne Jesu o ne a nyeletse mo bontsintsing jwa batho.

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.

Mme erile kwa morago Jesu a mmona mo Tempeleng mme a mo raya a re, “Jaanong o fodile; o se ka wa tlhola o leofa gape, ka gore fa o ka leofa e ka re kgotsa wa diragalelwa ke se se bosula bogolo!”

15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

Mme monna yo o fodisitsweng a ya go senka baeteledipele ba Sejuta mme a ba bolelela gore o fodisitswe ke Jesu.

16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

Mme ba simolola go gagautlha Jesu ba mo raya ba re ke motlola melao ya Sabata.

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Rre o tsweletse pele ka go dira tshiamo, mme le nna ke dira jaaka ene.”

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.

Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba gakala thata ba batla go mmolaya gonne mo godimo ga go tlola melao ya Sabata, o ne a re Modimo ke rraagwe, ka go bua jalo a itekanya le Modimo.

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.

Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Ga go na sepe se Morwa a ka se dirang ka boene. O dira fela se a bonang Rara a se dira, ka tsela e e tshwanang.

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.

Gonne Rara o rata Morwa, o mmolelela sengwe le sengwe se a se dirang; mme Morwa o tlaa dira dikgakgamatso tse dikgolo go feta phodiso ya monna yo!

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

Ebile o tlaa tsosa mo baswing mongwe fela yo ene a batlang go mo tsosa, fela jaaka Rara a dira.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

Mme Rara o neetse Morwa katlholo yotlhe; ya sebe

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.

gore mongwe le mongwe a tle a tlotle Morwa, fela jaaka ba tlotla Rara. Mme fa lo gana go tlotla Morwa Modimo, yo o mo romileng kwa go lona, hong ga lo tlotle Rara gotlhelele.

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)

“Ke bua ke gatelela gore mongwe yo o reetsang molaetsa wa me a bo a dumela mo Modimong o o nthomileng, o na le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, mme ga a na go sekisiwa ka ntlha ya dibe tsa gagwe, gonne o setse a dule mo losong a tsenye mo botshelong. (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.

Mme ke bua ka tlhoafalo ke re, ‘Lobaka lo e tla, tota legale lo setse lo fitlhile, fa baswi ba tlaa utlwang lentswe la me, lentswe la Morwa Modimo, mme ba ba reetsang ba tlaa tshela.’

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

Rara ka esi o na le botshelo, jalo he o neetse Morwawe botshelo joo gore bo nne mo go ene ka esi,

27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

le go atlhola dibe tsa batho botlhe gonne ke Morwa Modimo.

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

Se gakgamaleng! Ruri lobaka lo e tla lo baswi botlhe mo mabitleng a bone ba tlaa utlwang lentswe la Morwa Modimo,

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.

mme ba ba dirileng tshiamo ba tlaa tsoga gape go ya botshelong jo bo sa khutleng; mme ba ba neng ba tsweletse mo bosuleng, ba tlaa bo ba tsogela katlholong.

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.

Mme ga ke dire katlholo epe ke sa rerisa Rara. Ke atlhola jaaka ke laetswe. Mme katlholo ya me e siame ebile e tlhamaletse gonne e ka fa go rateng ga Modimo o o nthomileng, ga se ya me fela.

31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

Fa ke bua ka bo nna, ga ke dumelwe.

32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

“Mme mongwe, ebong Johane wa Mokolobetsi, le ene o bua ka ga me. Lo ne lwa tswa lwa ya go reetsa thero ya gagwe, mme ke lo tlhomamisetsa gore mo a go buang ka ga me ke boammaaruri!

33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

Mme bosupi jwa boammaaruri jo ke nang nang najo, ga bo tswe mo mothong, lo gakolotswe ka bosupi jwa ga Johane gore lo tle lo dumele mo go nna lo bolokwe.

35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

Johane o ne a phatsima sentle ka lobakanyana, mme go ne ga lo solegela molemo lwa itumela,

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.

mme Nna ke na le mosupi yo mogolo go feta Johane. Ke raya dikgakgamatso tse ke di dirang; ke di neetswe ke Rara, mme di supa gore Rara o nthomile.

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.

Mme Rara le ene o supile ka ga me, le fa a sa lo itshupegetsa ka sebele, kgotsa a bua le lona lo lebaganye mo matlhong.

38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

“Mme ga lo mo reetse, gonne lo gana go ntumela, nna yo ke romilweng kwa go lona ka molaetsa wa Modimo.

39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)

Lo phuruphutsa dikwalo tsa tumelo, gonne lo dumela gore di lo naya botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. Mme dikwalo di raya nna! (aiōnios g166)

40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

“Mme ga lo tle kwa go nna gore ke lo neye botshelo jo jo bo sa khutleng!

41 I receive not honour from men.

Go rata kgotsa go sa rateng ga lona ga go reye sepe mo go nna gonne jaaka ke itse sentle, ga go na lorato lwa Modimo mo go lona.

42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

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.

Ke a itse, gonne ke tsile kwa go lona ke emetse Rre mme lo gana go nkamogela, le fa go ntse jalo lo ipaakanyeditse go amogela ba ba sa rongwang ke ene, mme ba ikemetse ka bo bone!

44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?

Ga go hakgametse fa lo sa dumele! Gonne lo tlotlana ka boitumelo, mme ga lo na sepe ka ga tlotlo e e tswang Modimong o o osi!

45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.

“Mme ga se nna yo ke tlaa lo bayang molato ka ga selo se kwa go Rara; ke Moshe yo o tlaa dirang jalo! Moshe, yo mo melaong ya gagwe lo tlhomileng ditsholofelo tsa lona tsa legodimo.

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

“Gonne lo ganne go dumela Moshe. O kwadile ka ga me, mme lo gana go mo dumela, jalo he, le nna lo gana go ntumela.

47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

Mme ka lo sa dumele se a se kwadileng, ga go hakgamatse fa le nna lo sa ntumele.”
