John 5
1 Sometime after this there was a Jewish Festival; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
tataḥ paraṁ yihūdīyānām utsava upasthitē yīśu ryirūśālamaṁ gatavān|
2 There is in Jerusalem, near the sheep-gate, a bath with five colonnades around it. It is called in Hebrew ‘Bethesda.’
tasminnagarē mēṣanāmnō dvārasya samīpē ibrīyabhāṣayā baithēsdā nāmnā piṣkariṇī pañcaghaṭṭayuktāsīt|
3 In these colonnades a large number of sick people were lying – blind, lame, and crippled.
tasyāstēṣu ghaṭṭēṣu kilālakampanam apēkṣya andhakhañcaśuṣkāṅgādayō bahavō rōgiṇaḥ patantastiṣṭhanti sma|
yatō viśēṣakālē tasya sarasō vāri svargīyadūta ētyākampayat tatkīlālakampanāt paraṁ yaḥ kaścid rōgī prathamaṁ pānīyamavārōhat sa ēva tatkṣaṇād rōgamuktō'bhavat|
5 One man who was there had been crippled for thirty-eight years.
tadāṣṭātriṁśadvarṣāṇi yāvad rōgagrasta ēkajanastasmin sthānē sthitavān|
6 Jesus saw the man lying there, and, finding that he had been in this state a long time, said to him, “Do you wish to be cured?”
yīśustaṁ śayitaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā bahukālikarōgīti jñātvā vyāhr̥tavān tvaṁ kiṁ svasthō bubhūṣasi?
7 “I have no one, Sir,” the sick man answered, “to put me into the bath when there is a troubling of the water, and, while I am getting to it, someone else steps down before me.”
tatō rōgī kathitavān hē mahēccha yadā kīlālaṁ kampatē tadā māṁ puṣkariṇīm avarōhayituṁ mama kōpi nāsti, tasmān mama gamanakālē kaścidanyō'grō gatvā avarōhati|
8 “Stand up,” said Jesus, “take up your mat, and walk.”
tadā yīśurakathayad uttiṣṭha, tava śayyāmuttōlya gr̥hītvā yāhi|
9 The man was cured immediately, and took up his mat and began walking.
sa tatkṣaṇāt svasthō bhūtvā śayyāmuttōlyādāya gatavān kintu taddinaṁ viśrāmavāraḥ|
10 Now it was the Sabbath. So the religious authorities said to the man who had been cured, “This is the Sabbath; you must not carry your mat.”
tasmād yihūdīyāḥ svasthaṁ naraṁ vyāharan adya viśrāmavārē śayanīyamādāya na yātavyam|
11 “The man who cured me,” he answered, “said to me ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
tataḥ sa pratyavōcad yō māṁ svastham akārṣīt śayanīyam uttōlyādāya yātuṁ māṁ sa ēvādiśat|
12 “Who was it,” they asked, “that said to you ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
tadā tē'pr̥cchan śayanīyam uttōlyādāya yātuṁ ya ājñāpayat sa kaḥ?
13 But the man who had been restored did not know who it was; for Jesus had moved away, because there was a crowd there.
kintu sa ka iti svasthībhūtō nājānād yatastasmin sthānē janatāsattvād yīśuḥ sthānāntaram āgamat|
14 Afterward Jesus found the man in the Temple Courts, and said to him, “You are cured now; do not sin again, or something worse may happen to you.”
tataḥ paraṁ yēśu rmandirē taṁ naraṁ sākṣātprāpyākathayat paśyēdānīm anāmayō jātōsi yathādhikā durdaśā na ghaṭatē taddhētōḥ pāpaṁ karmma punarmākārṣīḥ|
15 The man went away, and told the authorities that it was Jesus who had cured him.
tataḥ sa gatvā yihūdīyān avadad yīśu rmām arōgiṇam akārṣīt|
16 And that was why they began to persecute Jesus – because he did things of this kind on the Sabbath.
tatō yīśu rviśrāmavārē karmmēdr̥śaṁ kr̥tavān iti hētō ryihūdīyāstaṁ tāḍayitvā hantum acēṣṭanta|
17 But Jesus replied, “My Father works to this very hour, and I work also.”
yīśustānākhyat mama pitā yat kāryyaṁ karōti tadanurūpam ahamapi karōti|
18 This made the authorities all the more eager to kill him, because not only was he doing away with the Sabbath, but he actually called God his own Father – putting himself on an equality with God.
tatō yihūdīyāstaṁ hantuṁ punarayatanta yatō viśrāmavāraṁ nāmanyata tadēva kēvalaṁ na adhikantu īśvaraṁ svapitaraṁ prōcya svamapīśvaratulyaṁ kr̥tavān|
19 So Jesus made this further reply, “In truth I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself; he does only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does, the Son does also.
paścād yīśuravadad yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthataraṁ vadāmi putraḥ pitaraṁ yadyat karmma kurvvantaṁ paśyati tadatiriktaṁ svēcchātaḥ kimapi karmma karttuṁ na śaknōti| pitā yat karōti putrōpi tadēva karōti|
20 For the Father loves his Son, and shows him everything that he is doing; and he will show him still greater things – so that you will be filled with wonder.
pitā putrē snēhaṁ karōti tasmāt svayaṁ yadyat karmma karōti tatsarvvaṁ putraṁ darśayati; yathā ca yuṣmākaṁ āścaryyajñānaṁ janiṣyatē tadartham itōpi mahākarmma taṁ darśayiṣyati|
21 For, just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he pleases.
vastutastu pitā yathā pramitān utthāpya sajivān karōti tadvat putrōpi yaṁ yaṁ icchati taṁ taṁ sajīvaṁ karōti|
22 The Father himself does not judge any one, but has entrusted the work of judging entirely to his Son,
sarvvē pitaraṁ yathā satkurvvanti tathā putramapi satkārayituṁ pitā svayaṁ kasyāpi vicāramakr̥tvā sarvvavicārāṇāṁ bhāraṁ putrē samarpitavān|
23 so that everyone may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. The person who does not honour the Son fails to honour the Father who sent him.
yaḥ putraṁ sat karōti sa tasya prērakamapi sat karōti|
24 In truth I tell you that the person who listens to my message and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come under condemnation, but has already passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
yuṣmānāhaṁ yathārthataraṁ vadāmi yō janō mama vākyaṁ śrutvā matprērakē viśvasiti sōnantāyuḥ prāpnōti kadāpi daṇḍabājanaṁ na bhavati nidhanādutthāya paramāyuḥ prāpnōti| (aiōnios g166)
25 In truth I tell you that a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the dead will listen to the voice of the Son of God, and when those who listen will live.
ahaṁ yuṣmānatiyathārthaṁ vadāmi yadā mr̥tā īśvaraputrasya ninādaṁ śrōṣyanti yē ca śrōṣyanti tē sajīvā bhaviṣyanti samaya ētādr̥śa āyāti varam idānīmapyupatiṣṭhati|
26 For, just as the Father has inherent life within him, so also he has granted to the Son to have inherent life within him;
pitā yathā svayañjīvī tathā putrāya svayañjīvitvādhikāraṁ dattavān|
27 and, because he is Son of Man, he has also given him authority to act as judge.
sa manuṣyaputraḥ ētasmāt kāraṇāt pitā daṇḍakaraṇādhikāramapi tasmin samarpitavān|
28 Do not wonder at this; for the time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice,
ētadarthē yūyam āścaryyaṁ na manyadhvaṁ yatō yasmin samayē tasya ninādaṁ śrutvā śmaśānasthāḥ sarvvē bahirāgamiṣyanti samaya ētādr̥śa upasthāsyati|
29 and will come out – those who have done good rising to life, and those who have lived evil lives rising for condemnation.
tasmād yē satkarmmāṇi kr̥tavantasta utthāya āyuḥ prāpsyanti yē ca kukarmāṇi kr̥tavantasta utthāya daṇḍaṁ prāpsyanti|
30 I can do nothing of myself; I judge as I am taught; and the judgment that I give is just, because my aim is not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
ahaṁ svayaṁ kimapi karttuṁ na śaknōmi yathā śuṇōmi tathā vicārayāmi mama vicārañca nyāyyaḥ yatōhaṁ svīyābhīṣṭaṁ nēhitvā matprērayituḥ pituriṣṭam īhē|
31 “If I bear testimony to myself, my testimony is not trustworthy;
yadi svasmin svayaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadāmi tarhi tatsākṣyam āgrāhyaṁ bhavati;
32 it is another who bears testimony to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is trustworthy.
kintu madarthē'parō janaḥ sākṣyaṁ dadāti madarthē tasya yat sākṣyaṁ tat satyam ētadapyahaṁ jānāmi|
33 You have yourselves sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
yuṣmābhi ryōhanaṁ prati lōkēṣu prēritēṣu sa satyakathāyāṁ sākṣyamadadāt|
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from people; I am saying this for your salvation.
mānuṣādahaṁ sākṣyaṁ nōpēkṣē tathāpi yūyaṁ yathā paritrayadhvē tadartham idaṁ vākyaṁ vadāmi|
35 He was the Lamp that was burning and shining, and you were ready to rejoice, for a time, in his light.
yōhan dēdīpyamānō dīpa iva tējasvī sthitavān yūyam alpakālaṁ tasya dīptyānandituṁ samamanyadhvaṁ|
36 But the testimony which I have is of greater weight than John’s; for the work that the Father has given me to carry out – the work that I am doing – is in itself proof that the Father has sent me as his messenger.
kintu tatpramāṇādapi mama gurutaraṁ pramāṇaṁ vidyatē pitā māṁ prēṣya yadyat karmma samāpayituṁ śakttimadadāt mayā kr̥taṁ tattat karmma madarthē pramāṇaṁ dadāti|
37 The Father who has sent me has himself borne testimony to me. You have neither listened to his voice, not seen his form;
yaḥ pitā māṁ prēritavān mōpi madarthē pramāṇaṁ dadāti| tasya vākyaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ kadāpi na śrutaṁ tasya rūpañca na dr̥ṣṭaṁ
38 and you have not taken his message home to your hearts, because you do not believe him whom he sent as his messenger.
tasya vākyañca yuṣmākam antaḥ kadāpi sthānaṁ nāpnōti yataḥ sa yaṁ prēṣitavān yūyaṁ tasmin na viśvasitha|
39 You search the scriptures, because you think that you find in them immortal life; and, though it is those scriptures that bear testimony to me, (aiōnios g166)
dharmmapustakāni yūyam ālōcayadhvaṁ tai rvākyairanantāyuḥ prāpsyāma iti yūyaṁ budhyadhvē taddharmmapustakāni madarthē pramāṇaṁ dadati| (aiōnios g166)
40 you refuse to come to me to have life.
tathāpi yūyaṁ paramāyuḥprāptayē mama saṁnidhim na jigamiṣatha|
41 “I do not receive honor from people,
ahaṁ mānuṣēbhyaḥ satkāraṁ na gr̥hlāmi|
42 but I know this of you, that you have not the love of God in your hearts.
ahaṁ yuṣmān jānāmi; yuṣmākamantara īśvaraprēma nāsti|
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.
ahaṁ nijapitu rnāmnāgatōsmi tathāpi māṁ na gr̥hlītha kintu kaścid yadi svanāmnā samāgamiṣyati tarhi taṁ grahīṣyatha|
44 How can you believe in me, when you receive honor from one another and do not desire the honor which comes from the only God?
yūyam īśvarāt satkāraṁ na ciṣṭatvā kēvalaṁ parasparaṁ satkāram cēd ādadhvvē tarhi kathaṁ viśvasituṁ śaknutha?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; your accuser is Moses, on whom you have been resting your hopes.
putuḥ samīpē'haṁ yuṣmān apavadiṣyāmīti mā cintayata yasmin, yasmin yuṣmākaṁ viśvasaḥ saēva mūsā yuṣmān apavadati|
46 For, had you believed Moses, you would have believed me, for it was of me that Moses wrote;
yadi yūyaṁ tasmin vyaśvasiṣyata tarhi mayyapi vyaśvasiṣyata, yat sa mayi likhitavān|
47 but, if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my teaching?”
tatō yadi tēna likhitavāni na pratitha tarhi mama vākyāni kathaṁ pratyēṣyatha?
