John 5
1 After these things there was the feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Sima na yango, Yesu akendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na feti moko ya Bayuda.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.
Nzokande, kuna na Yelusalemi, pene ya Ekuke ya Bameme, ezalaki na liziba moko oyo, na lokota ya Arami, bazalaki kobenga « Betesida. » Liziba yango ezalaki na baveranda mitano zingazinga na yango.
3 In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.
Babeli mingi bazalaki kolala na baveranda yango: bakufi miso, bato oyo batambolaka tengu-tengu mpe bato oyo bakufa makolo. [Bazalaki kozela ete mayi eningana,
pamba te anjelu moko na Nkolo azalaki koya tango na tango na liziba yango mpo na koningisa mayi. Soki mayi eningani, moto oyo azalaki kokita moto ya liboso kati na liziba azalaki kobika ata soki pasi na ye ezali ndenge nini.]
5 And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.
Ezalaki wana na moto moko oyo awumelaki na bokono mibu tuku misato na mwambe.
6 Jesus saw this man lying there, and knowing that he had been for a long time diseased, saith to him, Dost thou wish to be made well?
Lokola Yesu amonaki ye alala na mabele mpe ayokaki ete awumeli mikolo ebele na pasi yango, atunaki ye: — Olingi kobika?
7 The diseased 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 goeth down before me.
Mobeli azongiselaki Ye: — Nkolo, nazali na moto te mpo na kokitisa ngai kati na liziba soki mayi eningani. Wana nabundanaka mpo na kokita na mayi, moto mosusu akitaka liboso na ngai.
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Telema, kamata etoko na yo mpe tambola.
9 And immediately the man was made well, and took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the sabbath.
Kaka na tango yango, moto yango abikaki; akamataki etoko na ye mpe akomaki kotambola. Nzokande likambo yango esalemaki na mokolo ya Saba.
10 The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath; and it is not lawful for thee to take up the bed.
Boye, bakambi ya Bayuda balobaki na moto oyo abikisamaki: — Lelo ezali mokolo ya Saba; ozali na ndingisa te ya komema etoko oyo.
11 He answered them, He that made me well, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. T
Azongiselaki bango: — Moto oyo abikisi ngai alobi na ngai: « Kamata etoko na yo mpe tambola. »
12 hey asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up, and walk?
Batunaki ye lisusu: — Nani alobi na yo bongo?
13 But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd in the place.
Kasi moto oyo abikaki ayebaki te soki moto oyo abikisaki ye azali nani, pamba te Yesu alimwaki kati na ebele ya bato oyo bazalaki wana.
14 Afterwards Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art made well; sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.
Sima na mwa tango, Yesu amonaki, kati na lopango ya Tempelo, moto oyo abikaki. Alobaki na ye: — Tala, omoni ndenge okomi sik’oyo nzoto kolongono. Kosala lisusu masumu te, noki te likambo moko ya mabe koleka ekomela yo.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
Moto yango akendeki koyebisa bakambi ya Bayuda ete ezali Yesu nde abikisaki ye.
16 And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
Lokola Yesu azalaki kosala makambo wana na mokolo ya Saba, bakambi ya Bayuda bakomaki kofunda Ye.
17 But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, and I work.
Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: « Tata na Ngai azali kosala kino sik’oyo, Ngai mpe nazali kosala. »
18 On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.
Mpo na yango, bakambi ya Bayuda bakomaki koluka nzela ya koboma Ye; pamba te azalaki kotosa te mokolo ya Saba, azalaki koloba ete Nzambe azali Tata na Ye, mpe Ye akokani na Nzambe.
19 Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing; for whatever He doeth, these things the Son also doeth in like manner;
Yesu alobaki na bango lisusu: Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: Mwana akoki kosala eloko moko te na ndenge na Ye moko, kasi azali kosala kaka makambo oyo azali komona Tata na Ye kosala; pamba te makambo nyonso oyo Tata asalaka, yango mpe Mwana asalaka.
20 for the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things which he himself doeth; and greater works than these will he show him, so that ye will wonder.
Boye lokola Tata alingaka Mwana, yango wana alakisaka Ye makambo nyonso oyo Ye moko Tata asalaka; kutu, akolakisa Ye lisusu kosala makambo minene koleka oyo bosili komona kino sik’oyo, mpo ete bokamwa.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.
Ndenge kaka Tata asekwisaka bakufi mpe apesaka bango bomoi, ndenge wana mpe Mwana apesaka bomoi na moto oyo Ye alingi.
22 For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgment to the Son;
Lisusu, Tata asambisaka bato te; apesa bokonzi ya kosambisa bato na maboko ya Mwana,
23 that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father, who sent him.
mpo ete bato nyonso bakumisa Mwana ndenge bakumisaka Tata. Moto oyo akumisaka Mwana te akumisaka mpe Tata te oyo atindaki Mwana.
24 Truly, truly do I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and cometh not into condemnation, but hath passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto oyo azali koyoka maloba na Ngai mpe azali kondima Ye oyo atindaki Ngai, azali na bomoi ya seko mpe akosambisama te, kasi asili kolongwa na kufa mpe akomi na bomoi. (aiōnios g166)
25 Truly, truly do I say to you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear will live.
Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: tango ezali koya mpe esili kokoka oyo bakufi bakoyoka mongongo ya Mwana na Nzambe, mpe ba-oyo bakoyoka yango bakozala na bomoi;
26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself.
pamba te lokola Tata azali etima ya bomoi, yango wana asalaki mpe ete Mwana azala etima ya bomoi;
27 And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
mpe apesaki Ye bokonzi ya kosambisa bato, mpo ete azali Mwana na Moto.
28 Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,
Bokamwa yango te, pamba te tango ezali koya, tango oyo bato nyonso oyo bazali kati na bakunda bakoyoka mongongo na Ye
29 and will come forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.
mpe bakobima longwa kati na yango: ba-oyo basalaki malamu bakosekwa mpo na kozwa bomoi, kasi ba-oyo basalaki mabe bakosekwa mpo na kozwa etumbu.
30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Nakoki kosala eloko moko te na ndenge na Ngai moko: nakataka makambo kolanda oyo nayokaka kowuta epai na Tata, mpe kosambisa na Ngai ezali sembo; pamba te nalukaka te kosala mokano na Ngai moko, kasi mokano ya Ye oyo atindaki Ngai.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
Soki napesi litatoli mpo na Ngai moko, litatoli na Ngai ekozala ya solo te.
32 There is another who beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
Boye esengeli ete motatoli mosusu apesa yango mpo na Ngai; mpe nayebi ete litatoli oyo akopesa na tina na Ngai ezali ya solo.
33 Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.
Botindaki bato epai ya Yoane, mpe ye atatolaki na tina na bosolo.
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved.
Ngai, nandimaka litatoli ya moto te; kasi nalobi bongo mpo ete bobika.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
Solo, Yoane azalaki lokola mwinda oyo bapelisi mpe ezali kongenga. Kasi bino, boponaki kosepela na kongenga na ye kaka mpo na mwa tango moke.
36 But the testimony which I have, is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the works themselves which I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
Nzokande Ngai, nazali na litatoli moko ya monene na tina na Ngai moko koleka kutu oyo ya Yoane: misala oyo nazali kosala na Kombo ya Tata etatolaka na tina na Ngai ete ezali Tata nde atindaki Ngai.
37 And the Father who sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
Ye moko, Tata, oyo atindaki Ngai atatolaki mpo na Ngai. Botikala nanu te koyoka mongongo na Ye mpe komona elongi na Ye;
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
mpe liloba na Ye ezali kati na bino te, pamba te bondima te Motindami na Ye.
39 Ye search the Scriptures, because ye yourselves think that in them ye have everlasting life; and it is they which testify of me; (aiōnios g166)
Bokundolaka Makomi na bokebi, mpo ete bokanisaka ete bokozwa bomoi ya seko kati na yango; nzokande, Makomi yango etatolaka na tina na Ngai, (aiōnios g166)
40 and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.
kasi boboyi na bino koya epai na Ngai mpo na kozwa bomoi.
41 I receive not honor from men;
Nalukaka na Ngai te lokumu oyo ewutaka na bato.
42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
Kutu nayebi bino malamu, nayebi ete, kati na mitema na bino, bozali na bolingo te mpo na Nzambe.
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.
Ngai, nayei na Kombo ya Tata na Ngai, kasi boboyi koyamba Ngai! Nzokande, soki moto mosusu ayei na kombo na ye moko, bokoyamba ye.
44 How can ye believe while ye receive honor from one another, and seek not the honor that is from him who alone is God?
Lokola bolukaka kaka kopesana lokumu bino na bino mpe boboyaka lokumu oyo ewutaka kaka na Nzambe, ndenge nini bokoki kondima Ngai?
45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye have placed your hope.
Bokanisa te ete Ngai nde nakofunda bino liboso ya Tata na Ngai, ezali Moyize oyo bondimaka nde akofunda bino.
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
Pamba te, soki penza bozalaki kondima Moyize, bolingaki mpe kondima Ngai; pamba te akomaki na tina na Ngai.
47 But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
Kasi soki bozali kondima ata makomi na ye te, ndenge nini bokondima maloba na Ngai?
