< John 5 >

1 After these things there was a celebration of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
Panyuma pakendi kwalikuba kusekelela kwa Bayuda, ku Yelusalemu neye Yesu walayako
2 and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew 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 were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, [[waiting for the moving of the water,
Mu tumandomo mwalikona bantu bangi balwashi, balema ne bashipilwa kayi ne bakokonyana mibili
4 for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.]]
(Pakwinga mungelo walikufandaula menshi, neco mulwashi walikwingila bwangu mumenshi walikushilikwa.)
5 And there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty-eight years,
Nomba pa bantu balwashi abo palikuba umbi walakolwa kwa byaka 38.
6 him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, He says to him, “Do you wish to become whole?”
Yesu mpwalamubona nkali wona, waleshiba kwambeti walakolwa kwa cindi citali. Lino walamwipusheti, “Sena ulayandanga kushilikwa?”
7 The ailing man answered Him, “Lord, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another goes down before me.”
Mulwashi uyo walambeti, “Nkambo ndiyawa muntu welakuntwala mumenshi na alafundaulwa, ndambeti njingile nkutekucana naumbi lampitili kendi.”
8 Jesus says to him, “Rise, take up your pallet, and be walking”;
Yesu walamwambileti, “Punduka, manta mpasa yakobe, yamba kwenda.”
9 and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his pallet, and was walking, and it was a Sabbath on that day,
Popelapo muntu uyo walashilikwa, walamanta mpasa yakendi nekuyamba kwenda. Busuba ubo bwalikuba bwa Sabata.
10 the Jews then said to him that has been healed, “It is a Sabbath; it is not lawful to you to take up the pallet.”
Lino Bayuda balambila uyu walashilikwa, “Lelo nipa Sabata, milawo yetu nkayasuminisha kunyamuna mpasa yakobe.”
11 He answered them, “He who made me whole—that One said to me, Take up your pallet, and be walking”;
Nomba neye walambeti, “Lanshiliki elangambilyeti, ‘Nyamuna mpasa yakobe nekwenda.’”
12 they questioned him, then, “Who is the Man who is saying to you, Take up your bed and be walking?”
Nabo balamwipusheti, “Niyani uyo lakwambily eti nyamuna mpasa yakobe wende?”
13 But he that was healed had not known who He is, for Jesus moved away, a multitude being in the place.
Nomba uyu muntu walashilikwa nkalamwinshiba walamushilikwa, pakwinga Yesu walikuba lengili mukati mwa bantu bangi abo balikuba popelapo.
14 After these things, Jesus finds him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to you.”
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 went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,
Muntu usa walaya kwambila Bayuda kwambeti Yesu elamushiliki.
16 and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill Him, because these things He was doing on a Sabbath.
Lino batangunishi ba Bayuda balatatika kumushupa Yesu pacebo cakushilika muntu pa Sabata.
17 And Jesus answered them, “My Father works until now, and I work”;
Nsombi Yesu walabambileti, “Bata balasebensenga cindi conse mpaka lelo lino, nenjame ndelela kusebensa.”
18 because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill Him, because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He also called God His own Father, making Himself equal to 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 Jesus therefore responded and said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything of Himself, if He may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son does in like manner;
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 cherishes the Son, and shows to Him all things that He Himself does; and greater works than these He will show Him, that you may wonder.
Pakwinga baishi basuni Mwana, neco bakute kumulesha byonse nabo mbyobalenshinga. Baishi nibamuleshe mulimo wapita ibi kwambeti mubinshibe.
21 For as the Father raises the dead, and makes alive, so also the Son makes alive whom He wills;
Mbuli Bata ncobakute kupundusha bafwa, nekubapa buyumi, copeleco Mwana lapanga buyumi kuli abo mbasuni.
22 for neither does the Father judge anyone, but all the judgment He has given to the Son,
Baishi nkabakute kombolosha muntu sobwe. Nsombi balapa ngofu Mwana kwambeti abe weshikombolosha byonse.
23 that all may honor the Son according as they honor the Father; he who is not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who sent Him.
Bata bakute kuyandeti bantu bonse balemekenga Mwana, mbuli ncobakute kulemeka Baishi. Muntu labulunga kulemeka Mwana, nkakute kulemeka Baishi balamutuma.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who is hearing My word, and is believing Him who sent Me, has continuous life, and he does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into 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 Truly, truly, I say to you, [that] there comes an hour, and it now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard will 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 has life in Himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in Himself,
Mbuli baishi ncebalicitente ca buyumi nendi Mwana walaba citente cabuyumi.
27 and authority He gave Him also to do judgment, because He is Son of Man.
Neco walamupa mwana ngofu shakombolosha bantu, pakwinga ni Mwana Muntu.
28 Do not wonder at this, because there comes an hour in which all those in the tombs will hear His voice,
Mutakankamana, pakwinga cindi nicikashike bantu bonse bali mumanda nibakanyumfwe maswi akendi nekupunduka.
29 and they will come forth; those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced evil things to a resurrection of judgment.
Bantu balensa byaina nibakapunduke kwambeti babe ne buyumi, nsombi balensa byaipa, nibakapunduke kwambeti bomboloshewe.”
30 I am not able of Myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of the Father who 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 testify concerning Myself, My testimony is not true;
“Na ndalinshili bukamboni, bukamboni bwakame nkabwakwana.
32 there is another who is testifying concerning Me, and I have known that the testimony that He testifies concerning Me is true;
Nsombi kuli naumbi ukute kunjinshila bukamboni, kayi bukamboni mbwakute kunjinshila nibwancine ncine.
33 you have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
Amwe mwalatuma ntumi kuli Yohane mubatishi, nendi walensa bukamboni bwakubinga.
34 But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that you may be saved;
Nteko kwambeti ame nsuni bukamboni bwa muntu, nsombi ndambanga ibi kwambeti amwe mupuluke.
35 he was the burning and shining lamp, and you willed to be glad, for an hour, in his light.
Yohane mubatishi walikubeti lampi yalikumunika, amwe mwalakondwa ne mumuni kwakacindi kang'ana.
36 But I have the testimony greater than John’s, for the works that the Father gave Me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning Me, that the Father has 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 who sent Me has testified Himself concerning Me; you have neither heard His voice at any time, nor have you seen His appearance;
Kayi Bata abo balantuma, balanjinshila bukamboni. Nomba amwe muliya kunyumfwa maswi abo, nambi kubona cinso cabo.
38 and you do not have His word remaining in you, because you do not believe Him whom He sent.
Maswi abo nkakute kwikala muli njamwe, pakwinga nkamukute kumushoma Bata ngobalatuma.
39 You search the Writings, because you think in them to have continuous life, and these are they that are testifying concerning 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 you do not will to come to Me, that you may have life;
Nomba amwe mulakananga kwisa kuli njame kwambeti mube ne buyumi.
41 I do not receive glory from man,
“Nkandalangaulunga kupewa bulemu kubantu sobwe.
42 but I have known you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
Nsombi ndimwinshi kwambeti amwe nkamusuni Lesa mumyoyo yenu.
43 I have come in the Name of My Father, and you do not receive Me; if another may come in his own name, him you will receive;
Ame ndalesa mulina lya Bata, nomba amwe muliya kuntambula. Nsombi umbi esa mulina lyakendi ne kulyamba mwine uyo engomukute kutambula.
44 how are you able—you—to believe, receiving glory from one another, and the glory that [is] from God alone you do not seek?
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] who is accusing you, Moses—in whom you have hoped;
Nomba mutayeyeti njame ndeshi nkamwambilenga byaipa kuli Bata. Weshi akamwambilenga nkwali, Mose ngomwalikuba mwashoma.
46 for if you were believing Moses, you would have been believing Me, for he wrote concerning Me;
Ne mwalashoma Mose cancine ncine ne mwalanshoma ne njame, pakwinga neye walalemba makani alikwamba njame.
47 but if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My sayings?”
Nomba na nkamulashomonga mbyalalemba, nomba ngamushoma aconi maswi akame?”
