< John 5 >
1 After these things, there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio Jesũ nĩambatire Jerusalemu tondũ nĩ kwarĩ na gĩathĩ kĩa Ayahudi.
2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep area there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, "Beth Hesda," having five porches.
Na rĩrĩ, kũu Jerusalemu hakuhĩ na Kĩhingo-kĩa-Ngʼondu nĩ kwarĩ na karia geetagwo na Kĩhibirania Bethesida, nako gaathiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ ithaku ithano ciarĩ ngite.
3 In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.
Kũu nĩkuo gwakomagwo nĩ ikundi nene cia andũ arĩa maarĩ arũaru, ta atumumu, na cionje, na arĩa maakuĩte ciĩga (meetereire maaĩ moinjugwo.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kũrĩ hĩndĩ mũraika wa Mwathani aikũrũkaga akoinjuga maaĩ karia-inĩ kau; na mũndũ wa mbere kũrika kuo maaĩ moinjugwo, nĩahonagio mũrimũ o wothe ũrĩa aarĩ naguo.)
5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
Na hau nĩ haarĩ mũndũ ũmwe watũũrĩte arĩ mũrũaru mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩnana.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ aamuonire akomete hau, na akĩmenya atĩ atũũrĩte ũguo ihinda iraaya, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkwenda kũhonio?”
7 The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am on my way, someone else steps down ahead of me."
Nake mũndũ ũcio warũarĩte akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, ndirĩ na mũndũ wa kũndikia thĩinĩ wa karia rĩrĩa maaĩ moinjugwo. Ngĩgeria gũtoboka thĩinĩ-rĩ, mũndũ ũngĩ agatoboka mbere yakwa.”
8 Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra, oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku, wĩtware!”
9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
Na o rĩmwe mũndũ ũcio akĩhona, akĩoya kĩbarĩ gĩake, na agĩĩtwara. Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio gwekĩkire ũguo warĩ wa Thabatũ,
10 So the Jewish leaders said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."
na nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ayahudi makĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wahonetio atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩ mũthenya wa Thabatũ; watho ndũgwĩtĩkĩrĩtie ũkuue kĩbarĩ gĩaku.”
11 But he answered them, "The one who made me well, that one said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"
Nowe akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũũhonirie anjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku, wĩtware.’”
12 Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you to pick it up and walk?"
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio ũkwĩrire woe kĩbarĩ wĩtware nũũ?”
13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
Mũndũ ũcio wahonetio ndaamenyaga nũũ wamũhonetie, tondũ Jesũ aakoretwo orĩire kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ hau.
14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."
Thuutha ũcio Jesũ akĩmũkora hekarũ-inĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “One, rĩu nĩũhonete. Ndũgacooke kwĩhia ndũkae gũkorwo nĩ ũndũ mũũru kũrĩ ũcio.”
15 The man went away, and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ na akĩĩra Ayahudi atĩ Jesũ nĩwe wamũhonetie.
16 For this cause the Jewish leaders persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Ayahudi makĩnyariira Jesũ, tondũ ekĩte maũndũ macio mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
17 But he answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Baba atũũrĩte o arĩ wĩra-inĩ wake nginya rĩu, na o na niĩ no ndĩraruta wĩra.”
18 For this cause therefore the Jewish leaders sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
Nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi kĩu, Ayahudi magĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgeria kũmũũraga; nĩgũkorwo to mũthenya wa Thabatũ aathũkagia, no o na nginya nĩetaga Ngai ithe wake mwene, na ũguo akeiganania na Ngai.
19 Jesus therefore answered them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, Mũriũ ndarĩ ũndũ angĩĩka we mwene, tiga o ũrĩa onaga Ithe agĩĩka, nĩgũkorwo maũndũ marĩa Ithe ekaga no mo Mũriũ o nake ekaga.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, so that you may marvel.
Nĩgũkorwo Ithe nĩendete Mũriũ, na nĩamuonagia maũndũ mothe marĩa ekaga, Ĩĩ, na nĩakamuonia maũndũ manene o na gũkĩra maya, nĩgeetha o na inyuĩ mũgege.
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
O ta ũrĩa Ithe ariũkagia andũ arĩa akuũ akamahe muoyo, noguo o nake Mũriũ aheaga muoyo o ũrĩa angĩenda kũhe.
22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
Na ningĩ-rĩ, ithe ndarĩ mũndũ atuagĩra ciira, no ehokeire Mũriũ ũtuanĩri wothe wa ciira,
23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
nĩgeetha andũ othe matĩĩage Mũriũ o ta ũrĩa matĩĩaga Ithe. Ũrĩa ũtatĩĩaga Mũriũ ndatĩĩaga Ithe ũrĩa wamũtũmire.
24 "Truly, truly, I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. (aiōnios )
“Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũrĩa wothe ũiguaga kiugo gĩakwa na agetĩkia ũrĩa wandũmire, arĩ na muoyo wa tene na tene; na ti wa gũciirithio nĩarĩkĩtie kuuma gĩkuũ-inĩ agatoonya muoyo-inĩ. (aiōnios )
25 Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.
Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, kũrĩ ihinda rĩrooka, na rĩu nĩikinyu rĩrĩa akuũ makaigua mũgambo wa Mũrũ wa Ngai, nao arĩa makaũigua nĩ magaatũũra muoyo.
26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa Ithe arĩ na muoyo thĩinĩ wake mwene, no taguo ahotithĩtie Mũriũ kũgĩa na muoyo thĩinĩ wake mwene.
27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
Na nĩamũheete ũhoti wa gũtuanĩra ciira nĩ tondũ nĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.
28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,
“Mũtikagegio nĩ ũhoro ũcio, nĩgũkorwo ihinda nĩrĩroka rĩrĩa andũ arĩa othe marĩ mbĩrĩra-inĩ makaigua mũgambo wake
29 and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
na moime kuo, arĩa mekĩte wega mariũke nĩguo matũũre muoyo, nao arĩa mekĩte ũũru mariũke nĩguo matuĩrwo ciira.
30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One who sent me.
Ndirĩ ũndũ ingĩhota gwĩka niĩ mwene; nduanagĩra ciira kũringana na ũrĩa njiguaga, na itua rĩakwa nĩ rĩa kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo ndicaragia gwĩkenia niĩ mwene, tiga gũkenia ũrĩa wandũmire.
31 "If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
“Ingĩheana ũira ũngoniĩ niĩ mwene-rĩ, ũira ũcio wakwa ndũngĩtuĩka wa ma.
32 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
Nĩ kũrĩ na ũngĩ ũrĩa uumbũraga ũhoro wakwa, na nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ũira wake igũrũ rĩakwa nĩ wa ma.
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
“Inyuĩ nĩmwatũmanire kũrĩ Johana, nake nĩaheanire ũira wa ma.
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
Ti atĩ nĩnjĩtĩkagĩra ũira wa mũndũ; no nĩndĩũgwetaga nĩgeetha mũhonokio.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
Johana aarĩ tawa ũrĩa wakanire na ũkĩmũrĩka, na inyuĩ mũgĩthuura gũkenera ũtheri wake kwa ihinda.
36 But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
“Niĩ ndĩ na ũira mũnene gũkĩra ũcio wa Johana. Nĩgũkorwo wĩra ũrĩa Baba aaheete ndĩĩkie, na noguo ndĩraruta, nĩguo uumbũraga atĩ Baba nĩwe ũndũmĩte.
37 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
Nake Baba ũrĩa wandũmire nĩaheanĩte ũira ũngoniĩ we mwene. Inyuĩ mũtirĩ mwaigua mũgambo wake kana mũkona ũrĩa atariĩ,
38 You do not have his word living in you; because you do not believe him whom he sent.
o na kiugo gĩake gĩtitũũraga thĩinĩ wanyu, tondũ mũtiĩtĩkĩtie ũrĩa aatũmire.
39 You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have everlasting life; and these are they which testify about me. (aiōnios )
Inyuĩ mũtuĩragia Maandĩko tondũ mwĩciiragia atĩ na ũndũ wamo nĩmwĩgwatĩire muoyo wa tene na tene. Maandĩko macio nĩmo moimbũraga ũhoro ũrĩa ũngoniĩ, (aiōnios )
40 But you are unwilling to come to me so that you may have life.
no nĩmũregaga gũũka kũrĩ niĩ mũgĩe na muoyo.
41 I do not receive glory from people.
“Niĩ ndiĩtĩkagĩra ũgooci kuuma kũrĩ andũ,
42 But I know you, that you do not have God's love in yourselves.
no inyuĩ nĩndĩmũũĩ. Ngamenya atĩ inyuĩ mũtirĩ na wendo wa Ngai ngoro-inĩ cianyu.
43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
Njũkĩte thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Baba na mũtinjĩtĩkagĩra; no mũndũ ũngĩ angĩũka na rĩĩtwa rĩake mwene, nĩmũkũmwĩtĩkĩra.
44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
Mũngĩtĩkia atĩa angĩkorwo mwĩtĩkagĩra ũgooci kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ, no mũticaragia ũgooci ũrĩa uumaga kũrĩ Ngai o ũcio ũmwe?
45 "Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
“No mũtigeciirie atĩ nĩngamũthitanga mbere ya Baba. Musa ũrĩa inyuĩ mwĩhokeete nĩwe mũmũthitangi.
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
Korwo nĩmwĩtĩkĩtie Musa-rĩ, no mũnjĩtĩkie, nĩgũkorwo nĩ ũhoro wakwa aandĩkire.
47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
No kuona atĩ mũtiĩtĩkĩtie ũrĩa aandĩkire-rĩ, mũngĩgĩtĩkia atĩa ũrĩa njugaga?”
